The company's directors are responsible for the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies used and described in Note 1 to the financial statements which form part of the financial report are appropriate for the purpose for which the financial report is prepared. We have conducted an independent audit of the financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of the company. The financial report has been prepared for inclusion in certain filings under the laws of the United States. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this audit report or on the financial report to which it relates for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared. Our audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, which do not differ in any material respect from auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Our procedures included examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report, and the evaluation of accounting policies and significant accounting estimates. These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion as to whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1, so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the company's financial position and performance as represented by the results of its operations and its cash flows. The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis. AUDIT OPINION In our opinion, the financial report of Penford Australia Limited is in accordance with: (a) the Corporations Law including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 30 June 2000 and of the performance of the company for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Accounting Standards to the extent disclosed in Note 1, and the Corporations Regulations; and (b) other mandatory professional reporting requirements. Accounting principles generally accepted in Australia vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of consolidated operating profit for the year ended 30 June 2000 and the determination of consolidated shareholder's equity of Penford Australia Limited as at 30 June 2000 to the extent indicated in note 29 to the financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial report is a special purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with all the requirements of the Corporations Law, which includes applicable Accounting Standards other than the inclusion of comparatives from the prior year, as such comparatives were not required for the purpose for which the financial report was prepared. Other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views) have also been complied with. The financial report has been prepared for inclusion in certain filings under the laws of the United States. Accounting principles generally accepted in Australia vary in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of consolidated operating profit for the year ended 30 June 2000 and the determination of consolidated shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders' of Penford Australia Limited as at 30 June 2000 to the extent indicated in note 29 to the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets which are at valuation. (b) CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous year. (c) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements are those of the economic entity, comprising Penford Australia Limited (the parent company) and all entities, which Penford Australia Limited controlled from time to time during the year and at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. (d) FOREIGN CURRENCIES Translation of foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the consolidated entity are converted to local currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Amounts payable to and by entities within the consolidated entity that are outstanding at the balance sheet date and are denominated in foreign currencies have been converted to local currency using rates of exchange ruling at the end of the financial year. Except for certain specific hedges, all resulting exchange differences arising on settlement or re-statement are brought to account in determining the profit and loss for the financial year. Specific Hedges Where a purchase or sale is specifically hedged, exchange gains or losses on the hedging transaction arising up to the date of purchase or sale are included with the purchase or sale. Exchange gains and losses arising on the hedge transaction after that date are taken to the profit and loss statement. Translation of financial reports of overseas operations All overseas operations are deemed self-sustaining, as each is financially and operationally independent of Penford Australia Limited. The financial reports of overseas operations are translated using the current rate method and any exchange differences are taken directly to the foreign exchange translation reserve. 8 PENFORD AUSTRALIA LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (e) CASH 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, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (f) TRADE RECEIVABLES Trade receivables are carried at nominal amounts due less any provision for doubtful debts. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised when collection of the full nominal amount is no longer probable. (g) RECEIVABLES - RELATED PARTIES Amounts (other than trade debts) receivable from related parties are carried at nominal amounts due. (h) INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows: [ ] Raw materials -- weighted average cost basis [ ] Finished goods and work-in-progress -- cost of direct material and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. (i) RECOVERABLE AMOUNT Non-current assets are not revalued to an amount above their recoverable amount, and where carrying values exceed this recoverable amount assets are written down. In determining recoverable amount the expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value using a market determined risk adjusted discount rate. (j) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Cost and valuation Items of property, plant and equipment comprising a class of non-current asset are revalued at the same date on a consistent basis. 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 freehold land. Major depreciation periods are: 2000 Freehold buildings: 25 to 40 years Plant and equipment: 5 to 20 years 9 PENFORD AUSTRALIA LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (k) LEASES Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. Operating leases The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased item, are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis. Finance leases Leases which effectively transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the company are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as property, plant and equipment under lease. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised. Capitalised lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. Minimum lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and charged directly to profit and loss. (l) INTANGIBLES Goodwill Goodwill is amortised by the straight line method over the period during which benefits are expected to be received. This is taken as being 10 years. Patents The costs of obtaining patents has been capitalised and is being amortised over a ten year period. (m) TRADE PAYABLES Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the company. (n) LOANS AND BORROWINGS All borrowings are carried at the principal amount. Interest is charged as an expense as it accrues. (o) PROVISIONS Dividends payable are recognised when a legal obligation to pay the dividend arises, typically following approval of the dividend at a meeting of shareholders. (p) SHARE CAPITAL Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the company. 10 PENFORD AUSTRALIA LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (q) 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: Sale of Goods Control of the goods has passed to the buyer. Interest Control of a right to receive consideration for the provision of, or investment in, assets has been attained. Dividends Control of a right to receive consideration for the investment in assets is attained, usually evidenced by approval of the dividend at a meeting of shareholders. (r) EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS Provision is made for employee entitlement benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave. Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and any other employee entitlements expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts. All other employee entitlement liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Employee entitlements expenses and revenues arising in respect of the following categories: - - Wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave, sick leave and other leave entitlements; and - - Other types of employee entitlements Are charged against profits on a net basis in their respective categories. (s) INCOME TAX 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. Where assets are revalued no provision for potential capital gains tax has been made. The income tax expense for the year is calculated using the 36% tax rate, however the deferred tax balances have been adjusted for the decreased corporate tax rate of 34% for the tax year 2000-01 and 30% thereafter. The adjustment recognises that reversal of timing differences will occur within the 2000-01 or later income tax year, at which time tax will be attributed at a lower rate. The corresponding adjustment has been charged to income tax expense. 11 PENFORD AUSTRALIA LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) PENFORD AUSTRALIA AT 30 JUNE 2000 NOTES CONSOLIDATED LIMITED - --------------- ----- ------------ --------- $ 000 $ 000 2.

US GAAP RECONCILIATION PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AUSTRALIAN GAAP AND US GAAP Financial statements in the United States are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. In Australia statutory financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Australian Corporations Law, Schedule 5 to the Corporations Regulations and other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Consensus Views) collectively referred to as "Australian GAAP." The statement of cash flows, which has been prepared in accordance with Australian GAAP, complies with International Accounting Standards No. 7. The only material differences between Australian GAAP and US GAAP for purposes of the 30 June 2000 financial statements of the Company are as follows: (A) ASSET REVALUATIONS Under Australian GAAP non-current assets may be revalued both upwards and downwards based on directors' valuations. An upwards revaluation is recorded by a credit to the asset revaluation reserve as a component of shareholders' equity and is not taken through the profit and loss account except where a previous revaluation decrement has been recorded for that class of assets through the profit and loss account. An impairment or downwards revaluation is taken through the profit and loss account except where there is a revaluation reserve for that particular class of assets, in which case the decrement may be debited to that asset revaluation reserve, to the extent a credit exists, rather than the profit and loss account. The Company assesses the recoverability of non-current assets by comparing the carrying value to the asset's undiscounted cash flow. To the extent that the asset carrying value exceeds its undiscounted cash flow the asset is written down to that amount. US GAAP does not permit the upward revaluation of such assets. US GAAP requires that an impairment of long-lived assets be recognised through the profit and loss account. Under US GAAP SFAS 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," entities, when assessing an asset for impairment, compare the carrying value of the asset or group of assets to the relevant expected cash flow, undiscounted and without interest. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flow is less than the asset carrying value the asset must be written down to "fair value." One method of determining an asset's fair value, in the absence of an active market, is its discounted cash flow. Once impairment is recorded, subsequent recoveries through the profit and loss account are not allowed until the asset is sold. (B) TRANSFER OF ASSETS BETWEEN RELATED PARTIES Australian accounting standards allow for the transfer of assets between related parties to be recorded at fair value. For US GAAP, such transfers must be recorded at historical cost. 24 PENFORD AUSTRALIA LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 29. US GAAP RECONCILIATION (CONT'D) (C) PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT RECONCILIATION Reconciliation of the consolidated profit and loss accounts determined in accordance with Australian GAAP to profits under U.S. GAAP is as follows: Year Ended 30 June 2000 A$,000 ------------ Operating profit after income tax as reported under Australian GAAP 3,111 Reconciliation to US GAAP: Depreciation of revalued assets (1) 77 ----- Operating profit after income tax in accordance with U.S. GAAP 3,188 ===== 25 PENFORD AUSTRALIA LIMITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 29. US GAAP RECONCILIATION (CONT'D) (D) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY RECONCILIATION Reconciliation of shareholders' equity determined in accordance with Australian GAAP to shareholders' equity under U.S. GAAP is as follows: As at 30 June 2000 A$,000 ------------ Shareholders' equity in accordance with Australian GAAP 6,122 Reconciliation to US GAAP: Difference of historical cost to carrying amount of assets (2) (3,099) Revaluations made to non-current assets (1) (3,293) Accumulated depreciation on revaluation of assets (1) 129 ------ Adjusted shareholders' equity in accordance with U.S. GAAP (141) ====== (1) Under Australian GAAP non-current assets may be revalued both upwards and downwards based on directors' valuations. Where a non-current asset is revalued, all assets within that class must also be revalued on a consistent basis. The Company revalues its land and buildings approximately every three years. Downward revaluations are taken to the profit and loss account, which is comparable to the treatment of an impairment of an asset under SFAS 121. Under U.S. GAAP, upward revaluations are not recorded. The Company revalued land and buildings at the Auckland plant site in 1998. The revaluations resulted in an increase in the value of land of AUD 1,372,000 and an increase in the value of buildings of AUD 1,921,000. Accumulated depreciation on the revaluation increment of the buildings is AUD 129,000 to 30 June 2000. Depreciation for the year is AUD 76,840 based on a useful life of the buildings of 25 years. The revaluation reserve of the Company was distributed through dividends prior to acquisition. The reversal of the revaluation reserve therefore results in a decrease in retained profits. (2) Australian accounting principles reflect the purchase of assets between 100% related parties at fair value. Under U.S. GAAP, such transfers of assets must be recorded at historical cost. The difference between historical cost and the carrying amount of the assets of AUD 3,099,475 represents an increase in the value of the land in Lane Cove and Tamworth that cannot be recorded under U.S. GAAP. 26 PENFORD CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements for Penford Corporation ("Penford") consist of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 31, 2000, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income for the year then ended.
