The Companys risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating

TheBoardagreeswiththeviewsoftheASXonthismatterandnotesthatduetoitsnature,internal
control assurance from the Chief Executive and CFO can only be reasonable rather than absolute.
This is due to such factors as the need for judgement, the use of testing on a sample basis, the
inherent limitations in internal control and because much of the evidence available is persuasive
rather than conclusive and therefore is not and cannot be designed to detect all weaknesses in
controlprocedures.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the

The acquisition of subsidiaries prior to 1 July 2009 is accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business
combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumedatthedateofacquisition.

4) SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTINGJUDGEMENTS,ESTIMATESANDASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management
continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent
liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical
experienceandonother variousfactorsitbelievestobereasonableunder the circumstances,the
result of which forms the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptionsandconditions.

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant
judgements,estimatesandassumptionsaremade.Actualresultsmaydifferfromtheseestimates
under different assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the
financialpositionreportedinfutureperiods.

Independent audit report to members of Integrated Legal Holdings


Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Integrated Legal Holdings Limited, which comprises
the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of
significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors declaration of the consolidated
entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the years end or from time to time during
the financial year.

Directors Responsibility for the Financial Report


The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
report in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting
Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining
internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting
policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In Note 2, the
directors also state that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply
with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial report. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, we consider internal controls relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the
financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal controls. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

Independence
In conducting our audit we have met the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We
have given to the directors of the company a written Auditors Independence Declaration, a copy of which
is included in the directors report. In addition to our audit of the financial report, we were engaged to
undertake the services disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The provision of these services
has not impaired our independence.

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
