administration expenses of $(659)

offset by private donations received over expenditures of $7152 Dividends Payment of dividends is prohibited under our current Constitution. Directors’ Remuneration No fees were paid or are payable to the Directors Actual Value of Volunteer Services It is recognised that the APS rates used by AusAID below to calculate volunteer services under-represent the true value of services provided by MACF volunteers. A more appropriate calculation, while not included in the accounts, is represented below to acknowledge the significant contribution made by MACF volunteers - 2 doctors and 2 associates in the health field working in Myanmar for a total of 40 days valued at $20,000. In addition to donating their time, the volunteers paid for 100% of their own travel costs and accommodation expenses, including flights to Myanmar, which for the mission conducted in February 2013, totalled $18,925. In addition, specialised medical equipment & supplies provided by Medartis to a value of $74,535 was donated to 4 teaching hospitals in Myanmar. Actual Total Value of Volunteer Services and supplies provided to Myanmar in excess of AusAid grant totals $113,460. This figure does not include time spent in Australia planning for the mission to Myanmar, revenue raising and other administration matters provided by volunteers. In this regard the Directors recognise the contribution provided pro bono by lawyers Baker McKenzie and their assistance in incorporating the MACF foundation. Change in State of Affairs During the Financial Period, there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the Company other than that referred to in the accounts or notes thereto.

Auditor’s declaration ANNUAL REPORT 2012 / 2013

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts

and disclosures in the financial report and the company's compliance with specific

requirements of the Charitable Collections Act 1946. The procedures selected depend

on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material

misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, and the risks of

non-compliance with specific requirements of the Charitable Collections Act 1946. In

making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the

entity's compliance with the Charitable Collections Act 1946 and 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 entity's internal control. 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.

Inherent limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of any compliance procedure, it is possible that fraud, error, or non-

compliance with the Charitable Collections Act 1946 may occur and not be detected. An audit is not

designed to detect all weaknesses in Myanmar Australia Conolly Foundation Ltd compliance with the

Charitable Collections Act 1946 as an audit is not performed continuously throughout the period and the

tests are performed on a sample basis.

Any projection of the evaluation of compliance with the Charitable Collections Act

1946 to future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may become

inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with

them may deteriorate.

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 complied with the independence requirements of the

Corporations Act 2001.

1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the Company is a non-reporting

entity because there are no users who are dependent on its general purpose financial statements.

These financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements that have been

prepared in order to meet the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a not for

profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the mandatory Australian Accounting

Standards applicable to entities reporting under the Corporation Act 2001 and the significant

accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the

needs of members. Such accounting policies are consistent with those of previous periods unless stated

otherwise.

The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs unless otherwise stated in the notes. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation at these financial statements are presented below and will be consistently applied unless stated otherwise. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar. The financial statements were authorised on 161 October 2012 by the directors of the Company.

Accounting Policies

(a) Donated Services

A number of volunteers have donated a significant amount of their time in the Company's services.

However, since no objective basis exists for recording and assigning values to their services, they are

not reflected in the accompanying Financial Statements.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term

highly liquid investments.

(c) Employee Entitlements

At the present time the company has no paid employees.

(d) Income Tax No provision for income tax has been raised as the entity is exempt from income tax under Division 50

of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997


of 17

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued

(e) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST),

except:

i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is

recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of

expense;

or

ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of

receivables or payables.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.

2. Receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded as amounts due.

3. Revenue Recognition/Unearned Contributions

General donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received.

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest rate method, which for

floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Myanmar Australia Conolly Foundation Ltd receives non-reciprocal contributions of assets from

various parties for zero or a nominal value. These assets are recognised at fair value on the date of

acquisition in the statement of financial position with a corresponding amount of income

recognised in the profit and loss.

All revenue from donations and contributions to specific programs is recognised by reference to the

stage of completion of activities to which the revenue relates.

4. Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net replacement cost.


of 17

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies continued

Inventories acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are valued at the current replacement cost

as at the date of acquisition

5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on

historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable

expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both

externally and within the Company.

6. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have

mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Company has decided against early

adoption of these standards. The directors anticipate that the adoption of these Standards and

Interpretations in future periods will have no material financial impact on the financial statements of

the Company.

7. Comparative Figures

As this is the first set of Financial Statements for the company since incorporation there are no

comparative figures.

8. Related Party Transactions

There were no monetary transactions with related parties during the Financial Year. Myanmar Australia Conolly Foundation Ltd has obtained legal, professional and surgical pro-bono
