The registered office of MoneySwitch is Level 5, 121 Walker Street, North Sydney, New South Wales, 2060. Nature of operations and principal activities The principal activities during the year were: • development of credit and debit card acquiring services; • development of software to assist with the provision of credit and debit card acquiring services. There have been no significant changes in the nature of those activities during the year. Employees The company employed 17 employees as at 30 June 2005 (2004: 8 employees). OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW Overview MoneySwitch Limited was founded on 3 February 2003 by Paul A Wood, Peter J Haig and Andrew R Rothwell. All have maintained their association with MoneySwitch with Paul A Wood as Chief Technical Officer, Peter J Haig as Vice President of Engineering and Andrew R Rothwell as a software manager. Credit and Debit Card Acquiring Services MoneySwitch is a specialist provider of credit and debit card acquiring services. As such, the Company is developing the necessary relationships, policies, procedures, systems and approvals to comply with the stringent prudential and regulatory requirements to perform financial processing, clearing, settlement and reporting activities. Software development MoneySwitch’s focus is on using state-of-the-art technology to provide extremely reliable, low cost and customised acquiring services to merchants and value-added resellers. MoneySwitch has continued the software development during the year. Performance Indicators Management and the Board monitor MoneySwitch’s overall development and performance, from its development as a company through to the performance of the Company against operating plans and financial budgets. The Board, together with management, have identified key milestones and deadlines that are used to monitor MoneySwitch’s development. Key management monitors achievement of milestones and deadlines on a regular basis. Directors receive status reports for review prior to each monthly board meeting allowing all directors to actively monitor MoneySwitch’s development. Dynamics of the Business MoneySwitch’s development is highly dependent on the dealings with organisations which provide access to the credit and debit card acquiring market. These organisations can practice significant discretion in their dealings with MoneySwitch. MoneySwitch continues to develop the necessary relationships to enter the market. 7 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (cont’d) Operating Results for the Year The loss of the Company after providing for income tax amounted to $961,241 (2004: $270,672 loss). This result was in line with expectations given that the Company is in the development stage of its lifecycle. 2005 MoneySwitch Limited Investments for Future Performance The company has been actively working with Visa, MasterCard, and other credit and debit card participants to build the relationships necessary for MoneySwitch to enter the card acquiring business. Revenues $389,586 Results -$961,241 The directors have budgeted capital expenditure for the purchase of computer servers and networking equipment to establish MoneySwitch’s production IT infrastructure. Review of Financial Condition Capital Structure During the period, 16,333,333 ordinary shares were issued as the company raised an additional $3,950,000 of capital for anticipated start-up costs and for initial prudential capital requirements. The fundraising was completed in two tranches at different times – on 24 December 2004; 3,000,000 ordinary shares were issued at $0.15 per share totalling $450,000, and on 5 April 2005; 10,000,000 ordinary shares were issued at $0.30 per share totalling $3,000,000 and 3,333,333 options were exercised at $0.15 per share totalling $500,000. As at 30 June 2005, the company had no debt. Cash from Operations MoneySwitch continued to operate at a loss for the 2004/5 financial year, in line with its status as a pre-revenue start-up company. The company had interest income of $61,862 for the period. The company also claimed an R&D Tax Concession through the Industry Research and Development (IR&D) Board and the Australian Taxation Office of $327,724. Liquidity and Funding The company had cash of $3,154,563 at the end of the period. Under the MoneySwitch’s Specialist Credit Card Institution (SCCI) authority, the company is required by APRA to hold an amount of not less than $2 million in Tier 1 capital at all times before it commences credit and/or debit card acquiring. At all times after the Company commences credit and/or debit card acquiring, the Company must hold Tier 1 capital in the greater of the following two amounts: (a) $5 million; or (b) 20% of the value of the risk weighted on- and off- balance sheet credit exposures of the company (at the time of calculation); MoneySwitch intends to raise additional capital before live operations commence to continue to meet APRA capital requirements. 8 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (cont’d) Risk Management MoneySwitch is now prudentially supervised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and is required to comply with prudential standards and provide ongoing reporting. The company has developed policies, procedures and systems to ensure on-going compliance with the standards. Statement of Compliance The report is based on the guidelines in The Group of 100 Incorporated publication Guide to the Review of Operations and Financial Condition. EMPHASIS OF MATTER Although the company has made losses in the prior 2 years, MoneySwitch is in the start-up phase of operations and this was expected. MoneySwitch has sufficient cash for the 2005/6 financial year to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable and is able to control its expenses. As such the directors believe the company is a going concern. In order to continue to meets capital requirements imposed by APRA, MoneySwitch will require additional funding to be raised during the year. Additional funding will likely be raised in late 2005 internally from existing shareholders and/or externally from an additional strategic investor(s) as needed. All past fundraising has been provided by directors and/or employees of MoneySwitch. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS Jost Stollmann joined the company as Chief Executive Officer on 5 April 2005. Having also participated in the April 2005 fundraising, Jost also became an executive director of the company. Jost has had a successful entrepreneurial career as a company builder, and his position as Chief Executive Officer strengthens MoneySwitch’s management and strategic capabilities. At the time of Jost’s appointment, the founding Chief Executive Officer, Paul A Wood, took the role of Chief Technical Officer with MoneySwitch. Paul continues to guide product and banking process development, as well as working with major merchants on their strategic payment needs. Peter J Haig, a company founder and Vice President of Engineering, resigned as a executive director at the time of Jost’s appointment in order to ensure that there was a majority of non-executive directors on the board. Peter continues to manage the IT systems development. On 26 April 2005, MoneySwitch Limited was authorised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to carry on banking business in Australia. MoneySwitch is authorised as an Authorised Deposit- Taking Institution (ADI) whose banking activities are confined to credit and debit card acquiring as a Specialist Credit Card Institution (SCCI). MoneySwitch cannot take money on deposit. On the same date, shareholders of MoneySwitch obtained approval under the Financial Sector (Shareholdings) Act 1998 to hold a stake in MoneySwitch (a Financial Sector company) of greater than 15% each. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material or unusual nature which, in the opinion of the directors of the company, will affect significantly the operation of the company, the results of these operations or the state of affairs of the company in future financial years. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS The directors foresee that in the 2005/6 financial year MoneySwitch will continue activities towards entering the market for credit and debit card acquiring services for merchants. 9 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (cont’d) SHARE OPTIONS Unissued shares As at the date of this report, there were 12,007,631 unissued ordinary shares under options.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are: (a) Basis of preparation The financial report is a general purpose report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 including applicable Accounting Standards. Other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views) have also been complied with. The financial report covers the economic entity of MoneySwitch Limited. MoneySwitch Limited is an unlisted public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost and, except where stated, does not take into account changing money values or fair values of non-current assets. The directors consider the going concern assumption to be appropriate. MoneySwitch Limited is in the start-up phase of operations and has a history of raising sufficient capital to meet the company's expenditure and prudential capital needs. MoneySwitch Limited is able to control its expenses. Should current cash levels not be sufficient to meet the company's prudential capital requirements, the company will seek to raise additional funding through capital raising in the 2005/2006 financial years internally from existing shareholders and/or externally from additional strategic investor(s) as needed. (b) Taxes Income Taxes Tax-effect accounting is applied using the liability method whereby income tax is regarded as an expense and is calculated on the accounting profit after allowing for permanent differences. To the extent timing differences occur between the time items are recognised in the financial statements and when items are taken into account in determining taxable income, the net related taxation benefit or liability, calculated at current rates is disclosed as a future income tax benefit or a provision for deferred income tax. The net future income tax benefit relating to tax losses and timing differences is not carried forward as an asset unless the benefit is virtually certain of being realised. Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: - where the GST incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and - receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. 17 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 2005 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) (c) Cash and cash Equivalents Cash on hand and in banks and short-term deposits are stated at nominal value. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand and in banks, and money market investments readily convertible to cash within 2 working days. Bank overdrafts are carried at the principal amount. Interest is recognised as an expense as it accrues. (d) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Rendering of services Where the contract outcome can be reliably measured, control of the right to be compensated for the services and the stage of completion can be reliably measured. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs have been incurred. Interest Revenue Control of the right to receive the interest payment. (e) Revisions of accounting estimates Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively in current and future years only. (f) Acquisition of assets All assets acquired including property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Expenditure is only recognised as an asset when the entity controls future economic benefits as a result of the cost incurred, it is probable that those future economics benefits will eventuate, and the costs can be measured reliably. Costs attributable to feasibility and alternative approach assessments are expensed as incurred. (g) Recoverable amount of non-current assets valued on cost basis The carrying amount of non-current assets valued on the cost basis are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount at balance date. If the carrying amount of a non-current asset exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the lower amount. The write-down is expensed in the reporting period in which it occurs. Where a group of assets working together supports the generation of cash inflows, recoverable amount is assessed in relation to that group of assets. In assessing recoverable amounts of non-current assets the relevant cash flows have not been discounted to their present value, except where specifically stated. 18 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 2005 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) Cost versus fair value Except where specifically stated, non-current assets are recorded at the lower of cost and recoverable amount. (h) Property, Plant and Equipment Cost and Valuation Freehold land and buildings on freehold land are measured on a fair value basis. At each reporting date, the value of each asset in these classes is reviewed to ensure that it does not differ materially from the asset's fair value at that date. Where necessary, the asset is revalued to reflect its fair value. All other classes of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost. Where assets have been revalued, the potential effect of the capital gains tax on disposal has not been taken into account in the determination of the revalued carrying amount. Where it is expected that a liability for capital gains tax will arise, this expected amount is disclosed by way of note. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment, other than the low value pool and freehold land. The low value pool is depreciated on a diminishing value basis, plant and equipment items under $1,000 are added to the pool and depreciated at 18.5% in the first year and 37% in subsequent years. Freehold land is not depreciated. Major depreciation periods are: 2005 2004 Plant and Equipment: - Furniture and Office Equipment - Computer Equipment - Low Value Pool 5 years 4 years 18.50% 37.00% 5 years 4 years 18.50% 37.00% Year 1 >2 (i) Research and Development Costs Research and Development Costs are expensed as incurred, except where future benefits are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to exceed those costs. Where research and development costs are deferred such costs are amortised over future periods on a basis related to expected future benefits. Unamortised costs are reviewed at each reporting date to determine the amount (if any) that is no longer recoverable and any amount identified is written off. (j) Receivables Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollected debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred. Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. Interest is taken up as income on an accrual basis. 19 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 2005 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) Bills of exchange and promissory notes are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. (k) Payables Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the entity. Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense on an accrual basis. Deferred cash settlements are recognised at the present value of the outstanding consideration payable on the acquisition of an asset discounted at prevailing commercial borrowing rates. (l) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the economic entity has a legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events, it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. (m) Employee Benefits Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave. Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within the twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefit expenses and revenues arising in respect of the following categories: - wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and other leave benefits; and - other types or employee benefits are recognised against profits on a net basis in their respective categories. The value of the equity-based compensation scheme described in the notes (note 21) and the directors report is not being recognised as an employee benefits expense. 20 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE, 2005 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd) (n) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) is adopting IFRS for application to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005.

IMPACT OF ADOPTING AUSTRALIAN EQUIVALENTS TO IFRS MoneySwitch Limited is in the process of transitioning its accounting policies and financial reporting from current Australian Accounting Standards (AGAAP) to Australian equivalents of International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS) which will be applicable for the financial year ended 30 June 2006. The actual effects of the transition to AIFRS are dependent on the (a) ongoing work being undertaken by the AIFRS project teams; (b) potential amendments to AIFRSs and Interpretations thereof being issued by the standard-setters and IFRIC; and (c) emerging acceptance practice in the interpretation and application of AIFRS and UIG Interpretations. Under AASB 2 Share Based Payments, the company should recognise the fair value of options granted to employees as remuneration and expense on a pro-rata basis over the vesting period in the income statement with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Share-based payment costs are not recognised under AGAAP. At reporting date MoneySwitch Limited were unable to quantify the dollar value of any adjustments. 32 MONEYSWITCH LIMITED ABN 49 103 575 042 DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION In accordance with a resolution of the directors of MoneySwitch Limited, I state that: (1) In the opinion of the directors: a. the financial statements and notes of the company are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i. giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2005 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and ii. complying with Accounting Standards and Corporations Regulations 2001; and b. there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. (2) This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made to the directors in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial period ending 30 June 2005.

The directors of the company are responsible for preparing a financial report that gives a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the company, and that complies with Accounting Standards in Australia, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report. Audit approach We conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the company. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards in order to provide reasonable assurance as to whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of intemal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected. We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including compliance with Accounting Standards in Australia, and other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations and cash flows. We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included: . examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and . assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors. While we considered the effectiveness of management's intemal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls. We performed procedures to assess whether the substance of business transactions was accurately reflected in the financial report. These and our other procedures did not include consideration or judgement of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by the directors and management of the company.
