Executives’ Remuneration Rather than setting out the names of the top five key executives who are not also directors of the Company, we have shown a Group-wide cross-section of executive remuneration by number of employees earning $100,000 upwards in bands of $250,000 below.

(C) ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT Accountability Principle 10 :

The Board should present a balanced and understandable assessment of the company’s performance, position and prospects.

In presenting the annual financial statements and quarterly announcements to shareholders, it is the aim of the Board to provide the shareholders with a detailed analysis, explanation and assessment of the Group’s financial position and prospects. On a quarterly basis, Board members are provided with business and financial reports comparing actual performance with budget and with prior year comparisons with highlights on key business indicators and any significant business development. In addition, the Group CEO communicates regularly with Board members through informal meetings and phone calls with appropriate updates on Company developments. Audit Committee Principle 11 :

The Board should establish an Audit Committee with written terms of reference which clearly set out its authority and duties.
