The previously issued Financial Report of Kingsgate Consolidated Limited for the year ended 30 June 2011, dated 29 August 2011, has been withdrawn and is replaced by this Financial Report dated 18 October 2011. The revision was necessary due to the fact that the amounts of remuneration for 2 key management personnel disclosed in the Remuneration Report of the Directors’ Report dated 29 August 2011 were understated as a result of the omission of the Thai income tax component. As a result of the change made in the Directors' Report, the amounts disclosed in note 32 (c) Key management personnel compensation have been adjusted accordingly.

Kingsgate Consolidated Limited (the “Company”) is a Company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange using the ASX code KCN. The consolidated fi nancial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” and individually as “Group entities”). A description of the nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors’ Report.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The general purpose fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Historical cost convention

The fi nancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and financial instruments (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

Functional and presentation currency

The fi nancial statements of the Group entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated fi nancial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and presentation currency.

Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all fi nancial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of fi nancial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are signifi cant to the fi nancial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the fi nancial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Principles of consolidation

(i) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefi ts from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.

The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of a pre-existing relationship. Such amounts are generally recognised in profi t or loss.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The non-controlling interest in the acquiree is based on the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifi able assets. The adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on the proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.

The acquisition of an asset or group of assets that is not a business is accounted for by allocating the cost of the transaction to the net identifi able assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values.
