INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
ABRAXAS SOFTWARE PTY LTD
SCOPE
We have audited the attached financial report, being a special purpose financial
report, of Abraxas Software Pty Ltd for the year ended 30 June 1999 as set out
on pages 1 to 10. The company's directors are responsible for the financial
report and have determined that the accounting policies used and described in
Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report, are
appropriate to meet the needs of the members. We have conducted an independent
audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the
members of Abraxas Software Pty Ltd. No opinion is expressed as to whether or
not the accounting policies used, and described in Note 1, are appropriate to
the needs of the members.
The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members for the
purpose of providing financial information. We disclaim any assumption of
responsibility for any reliance on this audit report or on the financial
report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for any
purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing
Standards. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence
supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report and the
evaluation of significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been
undertaken to form an opinion whether or not, in all material respects, the
financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the accounting
policies described in Note 1, so as to present a view which is consistent
with our understanding of the company's financial position, and performance
as represented by the results of its operations. These policies do not
require the application of all Accounting Standards and other mandatory
professional reporting requirements.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.
QUALIFICATIONS
COMPARATIVES
The financial report for the year ended 30 June 1998 has not been audited.
Accordingly we are not in a position to and do not express an opinion on the
comparatives for 1998.
GOODWILL
As stated on Note 1 the financial report is a special purpose financial report
and the directors have determined that the company is not a reporting entity.
Consequently Australian Accounting Standard "AAS 18 Accounting For Goodwill" has
not been adopted for the purposes of the preparation of this financial report.
It should be noted however that Australian Accounting Standard AAS 18.4 does not
permit the recognition as an asset, of internally generated Goodwill.
Whilst the value of the company's Goodwill as stated on Note 1 is in accordance
with a directors' valuation made on 29 June 1987, we have been unable to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence to substantiate its basis of valuation or
identify events or transactions which contribute to the overall goodwill of the
entity, or justify the extent to which they generate future economic benefits.
For these reasons we do not consider that the method of accounting used for
accounting for Goodwill and the subsequent allotment of shares out of Asset
Revaluation Reserve, appropriate.

INHERENT UNCERTAINTY - GOING CONCERN
The following issues affect the ability of the company to be able to continue as
a going concern.
The company made a profit of $80,935 for the current year while the loss for the
year ended 30th June 1998 amounted to $66,648. As the company had accumulated
losses brought forward of $22,370 at 30th June 1998 the accumulated losses
carried forward at 30th June 1999 still amounted to $8,083.
Current assets totalling $129,857.69 were deficient up to $115,398.82 when
matched with current liabilities of $245,256.51 (excluding Provision For Long
Service Leave of $32,659.52).
Had the principles of Australian Accounting Standard AAS 18 been applied and had
Goodwill not been brought to account, the balance sheet would have indicated a
net deficiency of $8,983.32.
The company had a cash injection of funds of $76,222 on 27th January 2000.
The directors have considered and deem appropriate that the financial report
should be prepared on a going concern basis. This is stated in Note 1(a) which
note also defines what the going concern basis means.
Apart from this there is no audit evidence of any other financial support in
place which would demonstrate that the company would be able to continue as a
going concern.
Should the company be unable to obtain financial support for its operations,
there is significant uncertainty whether it will be able to continue as a going
concern. If the company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may be
required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the
normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the
financial report. The financial report does not disclose this fact and does not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and re-classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should the company not continue as a going concern. In
our opinion, knowledge of the significant uncertainty affecting the company's
ability to continue as a going concern is necessary for a proper understanding
of the financial report.
AUDIT OPINION
In our opinion: -
(a) because of the significance of the matter discussed in our
qualification paragraph under the heading "Goodwill" and the effect of
such adjustments, if any, as might be determined to be necessary should the
company not be able to derive future economic benefits from Goodwill, the
financial report does not present fairly in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standard AAS 18 the financial position of Abraxas Software Pty.
Ltd as at 30th June 1999 and the results of its operations for the year
then ended; and

(b) because of the significance of the effects of such adjustment, if any,
as might have been determined to be necessary should the company not be
able to continue as a going concern, for the reasons discussed in our
qualification paragraph under the heading "Inherent Uncertainty - Going
Concern", the financial report of Abraxas Software Pty Ltd does not present
fairly, in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to
the financial statements, the financial position of the company as at 30
June 1999 and its performance for the year ended on that date in accordance
with the accounting policies described in Note 1.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 1999
1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared for use
by directors and members of the company. The directors have determined that
the company is not a reporting entity.
The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the following Australian Accounting Standards:
AAS 8 : Events Occurring after Reporting Date
AAS 17 : Accounting for Leases
AAS 1 : Profit and Loss Accounts
AAS 5 : Materiality
No other Australian Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus
View or other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board have been applied.
The financial report is prepared on an accruals basis and is based on
historic costs and does not take into account changing money values or,
except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
The following specific accounting policies, which are consistent with the
previous period unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the
preparation of this report:
(a) GOING CONCERN
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis which is
the accounting basis whereby in the preparation of the financial report
the entity is viewed as a going concern: that is, the entity is expected
to:
I. be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due; and
II. continue in operation without any intention or necessity to
liquidate or otherwise wind up its operations.
(b) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are included at cost. All assets are
depreciated over their useful lives to the company.
(c) INTANGIBLES
GOODWILL
The value of the company's Goodwill is in accordance with a directors'
valuation made on 29 June 1987. (Note 7)
Goodwill is reviewed annually and any balance representing future benefits
considered unlikely to be realised are written off.
No amortization has been provided on the goodwill in the accounts since the
amount was brought to account.

ACN 008 030 420
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 1999
(d) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURE
Research and development costs are charged to operating profit before income
tax as incurred or deferred where it is expected beyond any reasonable doubt
that sufficient future benefits will be derived so as to recover those
deferred costs.
Deferred research and development expenditure is amortised on a straight
line basis over the period during which the related benefits are expected to
be realised, once commercial production is commenced.
(e) LEASES
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits
incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are
transferred to the company are classified as finance leases. Finance leases
are capitalised recording an asset and a liability equal to the present
value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual
value. Leased assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives. Lease
payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the
lease interest expense for the period.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and
benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in
which they are incurred.
(f) EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS
Provision is made for the liability for employee entitlements arising from
services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements
expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising
from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled
after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee
entitlements payable later than one year have also been measured at their
nominal amounts.
Contributions are made to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as
expenses when incurred.

7 ISSUED CAPITAL
The Issued capital is made up of 500,000 (1998 500,000) fully paid shares
of $1.00 each. Further details are as follows: -
At a meeting of directors and shareholders on 29th June 1987 it was
resolved that the goodwill of the company should be reflected in the
financial statements. The Goodwill of the company was measured at
$500,000 in accordance with a directors' valuation. It was resolved
that this amount be brought to account in the company's books as
Goodwill and correspondingly as Asset Revaluation Reserve.
It was also resolved at the same meeting that the sum of $499,980 being
part of the profits arising from the revaluation of the company's
Goodwill carried to Assets Revaluation Reserve forming part of the
undivided profits of the company and available for dividend be
capitalised and be distributed by way of fully paid-up shares amongst
holders of the ordinary shares in the capital of the company
registered in the register of members on 29th June 1987.

8 YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The systems critical to Abraxas Software Pty Ltd ongoing operation and
preparation of financial information (including application systems,
operating systems, hardware and other devices that rely on computer
technology) have been reviewed to establish the impact, if any, which Year
2000 date change will have on the accuracy of calculations, processing and
reporting. This review extends to systems external to Abraxas Software Pty
Ltd, such as those of suppliers and service providers that may expose
Abraxas Software Pty Ltd to the risks associated with the Year 2000 systems
issue.
Plans are in place to modify systems, as required, before the impact of Year
2000 date change creates significant errors in accounting records or
adversely impacts on business operations or customers services.
The insurers of Abraxas Software Pty Ltd will not cover any adverse
financial effects resulting from the Year 2000 systems issue.
