MERGER WITH TABCORP HOLDINGS LIMITED On 5 March 2003, the Company and TABCORP Holdings Limited ("TABCORP") announced a proposal to merge pursuant to schemes of arrangement under the Corporations Act (2001). Reference should be made to Note 29 in the attached Financial Report for details pertaining this matter. PROFIT AND DIVIDENDS The net profit after income tax of the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 30 June 2003 was $58,518,685 (2002: $78,069,335). The Directors have declared a final fully franked dividend of 12 cents per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2003. Dividends paid since 30 June 2002 have been a final fully franked dividend of 11 cents per ordinary share in respect of the year ended on that date (as reported in the 2002 Directors' Report) and an interim fully franked dividend of 11 cents per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2003. The reset preference share dividends are included as borrowing costs in the Statements of Financial Performance. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Net profit for the year ended 30 June 2003 was $58.5 million compared with $78.1 million in the previous year. Significant matters pertaining to operations during the financial year were: - - Operating revenues decreased by $7.4 million on the previous year primarily due to poor performances in land based and sportsbetting operations, partially offset by continued improvements in wide area and technology operations. However, land based operations were impacted by below theoretical win rates in international commission business this year as compared to the above theoretical win rates in the prior year. Also there was a temporary effect on international inbound tourism caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic. - - As a result of the movement in revenue, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation decreased to $178.7 million (2002: $207.3 million). - - During the year the Company increased its ownership interest in Breakwater Island Trust to 100% (Refer Note 20(d)). STATE OF AFFAIRS AND EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE In the opinion of the Directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity that occurred during the year not otherwise disclosed in this report or the financial report. There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the year and the date of this report any matter or circumstance which has or may significantly affect the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in subsequent financial years, except as disclosed in this report or the financial report. 2 LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS Until the merger between Jupiters Limited and TABCORP is completed, the Company will focus on operating its current business activities with the exception of its fixed odds sports book business, Centrebet. The Company expects to sell the business of Centrebet in the year ending 30 June 2004.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Consensus Views and the Corporations Act (2001). It has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and except where stated, does not take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial year amounts and other disclosures. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial report comprises the financial report of Jupiters Limited (the "Company") and its controlled entities (referred to collectively as the "Consolidated Entity"). The consolidation process eliminates all inter-entity balances and transactions and reflects the application of the Company's accounting policies on a consistent basis throughout the Consolidated Entity and, unless otherwise stated, are consistent with those of the previous year. The Company reports receivables and payables with controlled entities on a net basis. 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. Casino and other gaming revenues represent the aggregate of gaming wins and losses after allowances. Revenue from the provision of services is recognised where the contracted outcome can be reliably measured, control of the right to be compensated for the services exists and the stage of completion can be reliably measured. Revenue from the sale of goods is recorded when control in the goods being sold passes to the buyer, it is probable consideration will pass from the buyer in accordance with an established arrangement and the amount of consideration can be reliably measured. COST OF GOODS SOLD Cost of goods sold relates to the sale of food, beverage and gaming equipment. INCOME TAX Tax effect accounting has been adopted in preparing this financial report. Income tax expense is calculated on the accounting profit adjusted for permanent differences. To the extent that timing differences occur between the time items are taken up for accounting purposes and when they are taken into account for determination of taxable income, the related taxation liability or benefit is calculated at the tax rate expected to apply when the differences reverse. At 30 June 2003, the Consolidated Entity had not elected to form a consolidated group for taxation purposes. The formation of a consolidated group for taxation purposes in the future is not expected to materially affect the carrying value of the Consolidated Entity's deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Consolidated Entity is expected to form a consolidated group for taxation purposes in the year ending 30 June 2004. 10 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D): GAMING TAXES AND GOODS AND SERVICES TAX ("GST") Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a 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. Prima facie gaming taxes are brought to account on a gross basis in the Statements of Financial Performance. Pursuant to agreements between the Federal and State Governments, any GST payable on the related gaming activities is deducted from those gaming tax remittances and paid to the Federal Government. INVENTORIES Inventories which include food, beverages, general stores and computer hardware are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. They comprise raw materials, work in progress and finished goods. Cost is assigned on a weighted average cost basis. GOVERNMENT FUNDED DEVELOPMENT The Company is currently developing a convention and exhibition centre on behalf of the State of Queensland. Development costs are generally reimbursed by the State within one month of them being paid. Development costs incurred and not yet reimbursed are classified as current receivables. NON-CURRENT ASSETS Land, buildings and casino licences are recorded at cost of acquisition or development. The Gold Coast and Townsville casino licences are issued in perpetuity and the Brisbane casino licence expires in April 2070. Buildings, plant and equipment and where appropriate, casino licences are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis with depreciation on buildings and applicable casino licences applying a rate of 1% - 1.3%, plant and equipment - owned applying a rate of 7% - 33%, and plant and equipment - leased applying a rate of 20%. All non-current assets are reviewed semi-annually to determine whether their carrying amounts require write down to recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is determined using net cash flows discounted at 10.9% to present values. Investments in controlled entities are carried in the Company's financial report at the lower of cost and recoverable amount. The acquisition of the management contract in respect of Jupiters Townsville Hotel & Casino is recorded at cost and is being amortised over the period of the extended term of the contract of 22 years. Deferred borrowing expenses are amortised over the term of the related financial instrument. 11 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D): LEASED ASSETS Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and amortised over the life of the relevant lease or, where ownership is likely to be obtained on expiration of the lease, over the expected useful life of the asset. Lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction in the lease liability. Gains or losses on the sale and leaseback of assets are deferred and amortised over the lease term when the lease is a finance lease. Operating lease assets are not capitalised and rental payments are charged to profit on a basis to match the expense with the economic benefits consumed from the leased asset in each period. Where rental payments are expected to produce economic benefits in a future period, a prepayment of rent is recognised in the Statements of Financial Position (refer Note 13). GOODWILL/DISCOUNT ON ACQUISITION On acquisition of a controlled entity or a business, the difference between the purchase consideration plus incidental expenses and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is initially brought to account as either goodwill on acquisition or as a discount on acquisition which is allocated between the non-monetary assets of the controlled entity. Purchased goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis for AWA Limited at twenty years and for Centrebet at seven years. The unamortised balance of goodwill is reviewed at each balance date and charged to the Statement of Financial Performance to the extent that applicable future benefits are no longer probable. PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated 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. A provision for dividend is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared, determined or publicly recommended on or before the reporting date. PROVISION FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Provision has been made in the financial reports for benefits accruing to employees in relation to such matters as annual leave and long service leave and are based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. On-costs are included in the determination of provisions. SELF INSURANCE OF QUEENSLAND WORKERS COMPENSATION LIABILITIES From 1 July 2002, the Consolidated Entity self insures its potential workers' compensation liabilities in respect of its Queensland employees pursuant to a licence from WorkCover Queensland. Liabilities that may arise in this regard are contingent on claims by employees. At each reporting date, the liability recognised for the Consolidated Entity's potential workers' compensation liabilities in respect of its Queensland employees is measured in accordance with an independent actuarial valuation. The valuation makes allowance for the Consolidated Entity's estimated claims liability, residual liability and outstanding liability (refer Note 15). 12 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D): FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to local currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial year. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Ordinary share capital is recorded at a value equivalent to the total consideration received less the costs of issuing shares. Ordinary share capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the shareholders. Reset preference shares exhibit characteristics of liabilities and are recognised as liabilities in the Statements of Financial Position. The corresponding dividends are charged as borrowing costs in the Statements of Financial Performance. Trade debtors primarily represent amounts receivable from hotel and casino patrons, and technology services customers of the international sales division and are recorded at transaction amounts. Provision for doubtful debts is recognised to the extent that the recovery of the outstanding receivable balance is considered less than likely to be collected. Such provision is established based on a review of all outstanding amounts at balance date. Investments in bank accepted bills of exchange are carried at cost. Interest revenue is recognised on an effective yield basis. Liabilities for trade creditors, other creditors and accruals 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 Consolidated Entity. Notes payable are recognised when issued at the face value of the notes issued, with any discount on issue amortised over the period to maturity. Interest is recognised as an expense on an effective yield basis. Borrowings under a commercial bill facility are recognised when bills are issued with the liability recorded based upon the face value of the bills. The difference between the face value and proceeds received from the bills is recognised as interest expense over the period to maturity. A cross currency interest rate swap agreement hedges the Company's interest rate and foreign currency exposure in respect of notes payable (refer Note 27). Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company agrees with the counterparty to exchange the difference between the fixed and floating rate interest amounts and to exchange the principal at an agreed rate of foreign currency conversion. Amounts payable under the cross currency interest rate swap agreement are recognised as a component of interest expense as they accrue. 13 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES: PROVISION FOR DIVIDENDS The application of new Accounting Standard AASB 1044 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets", has resulted in a change in the timing of recognition of the dividend provision. Previously, the Consolidated Entity recognised a provision for dividend based on the amount that was proposed or declared after the reporting date. In accordance with the requirements of the new standard, a provision for dividend will only be recognised at the reporting date where the dividend has been declared, determined or publicly recommended prior to the reporting date. The effect of the revised policy has been to increase consolidated retained profits and decrease provisions at the beginning of the year by $22,902,204 (refer Note 4). In accordance with the new standard, no provision for final dividend has been recognised for the year ended 30 June 2003. Recognition of this dividend occurred at the date of this financial report and accordingly will be included in the financial report for the year ending 30 June 2004. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The revised Accounting Standard AASB1028 "Employee Benefits", has resulted in a change in the accounting policy for the measurement of employee benefit liabilities. Previously, the Consolidated Entity measured the provision for annual leave based on remuneration rates at the date of recognition of the liability. In accordance with the requirements of the revised standard, the provision for annual leave is now measured based on the remuneration rates expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The effect of the revised policy has been to decrease consolidated retained profits and increase employee benefit liabilities at the beginning of the year by $170,562. In addition, current year profits have decreased by $75,969 due to an increase in the employee benefits expense. Current provisions at 30 June 2003 have also increased by $246,531 as a result of the change in accounting policy. 14 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 Consolidated Company ------------ ------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 $000 $000 $000 $000 ---- ---- ---- ---- 3.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN On 21 February 2003, the Company introduced a dividend reinvestment plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, shareholders could elect to receive ordinary shares in the Company in lieu of any ordinary dividend. In respect of the ordinary dividend paid in February 2003, 738,625 ordinary shares were acquired on market in accordance with calculations in the Plan rules. The Plan was suspended on 12 June 2003. 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE: Only ordinary shares are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Reset preference shares are classified as liabilities and are not included in ordinary shares for the purposes of calculating either basic or diluted earnings per share (refer Note 16). Options outstanding under the executive share option plan are considered potential ordinary shares and have been included in diluted earnings per share (refer Note 22). Earnings used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share comprise the net profit attributable to members of the Company of $58,518,685 (2002: $78,069,335). The weighted average number of ordinary shares of 201,521,688 (2002: 232,587,741) and 201,849,140 (2002: 232,852,111) has been used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively. 17 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 Consolidated Company ------------ ------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 $000 $000 $000 $000 ---- ---- ---- ---- 6.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONT'D): From 1 July 2001, amounts paid in connection with the rental of the Brisbane hotel/casino complex have been reclassified (refer Note 13). This reclassification is reflected in the opening balances of cost and accumulated depreciation and amortisation for land, buildings and casino licences above. Land, buildings and casino licences, at cost, comprise the freehold land and buildings (including casino licence) of Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast (including proximate lands), the leasehold improvements (including casino licence) of Conrad Treasury in Brisbane and the freehold land and buildings (including casino licence) of Breakwater Island Trust. The land, buildings and casino licence of Breakwater Island Trust are carried at the cost to the Consolidated Entity when those assets were first consolidated at 30 June 2000. These assets were valued using a discounted cashflow methodology by the Directors at $1,110 million on 30 June 2003. This valuation is incorporated in the financial report by way of note only. The valuations reflect the future business cashflows anticipated from the properties and do not determine individual values for land and buildings nor specifically ascribe a value to the casino licences. Accordingly, an accurate or meaningful assessment of separate values of the land and casino licences cannot be made. Land and buildings (including the casino licence) in respect of Conrad Treasury are subject to a 75 year lease from the Queensland Government which commenced in April 1995. As most assets are integral to the operations of the Consolidated Entity and as there is no intention to sell them, capital gains tax has not been taken into account.

The deposit is refunded in each of the first ten years of the lease at $5.0 million per annum. The rental payments under the lease comprise $8.0 million per annum in each of the first ten years of the lease and $1.0 million per annum in each of the remaining 65 years of the lease. In order to match the expense with the economic benefits expected to be consumed from the leased asset in each period, rent expense of $3.7 million per annum is recognised in each of the first ten years of the lease and $1.7 million per annum is to be recognised in each of the remaining 65 years of the lease. The excess of the cash rental payments over the rent expense recognised during the first ten years of the lease gives rise to prepaid rent which will reduce after the initial ten year period. The security deposit and prepaid rent amounts were previously included in property, plant and equipment. 14 PAYABLES: Trade creditors 33,947 31,340 16,036 12,684 Other creditors and accruals 53,539 60,412 36,268 40,841 ------ ------ ------ ------ 87,486 91,752 52,304 53,525 ====== ====== ====== ====== 22 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 Consolidated Company ------------ ------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 $000 $000 $000 $000 -------- -------- -------- -------- 15 PROVISIONS: CURRENT: Employee benefits 12,802 13,473 11,615 9,660 Dividends - 22,148 - 22,148 Self insurance - Queensland workers' compensation 2,565 - 2,392 - Other 4,829 2,701 340 208 -------- -------- -------- -------- 20,196 38,322 14,347 32,016 ======== ======== ======== ======== NON-CURRENT: Employee benefits 9,705 10,622 7,273 9,487 ======== ======== ======== ======== Aggregate employee benefits 22,507 24,095 18,888 19,147 ======== ======== ======== ======== The number of employees on a full time equivalent basis as at 30 June was: 4,235 4,164 3,365 3,369 In accordance with the WorkCover Queensland Act 1996, the Consolidated Entity has obtained insurance from a third party to limit its exposure in respect of any individual claim to a maximum of $0.5 million.

INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES (CONT'D): At 30 June 2003, the Consolidated Entity had committed financing facilities available to it of $622.6 million (2002: $628 million) comprising unsecured notes repayable in March 2006, reset preference shares, an unsecured revolving credit facility which expires in April 2004, an unsecured commercial bill standby facility, overdraft facilities and lease facilities. The notes were issued to institutional investors in the United States of America in March 1999 at a face value of US$135 million and will mature in March 2006. The notes were registered for trading with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in September 1999 and are unsecured senior debt of the Consolidated Entity. The notes rank equally with all other unsecured senior debt of the Consolidated Entity, are primary obligations of Jupiters Limited and are guaranteed by its operating controlled entities. The notes were issued in U.S. dollars at a fixed coupon of 8.5% and at a discount of 0.64%. A cross currency interest rate swap agreement has been entered into to convert the principal and coupon into Australian dollars at a fixed rate of 9.0% until March 2004. The notes are issued under an indenture which sets out specific covenants. The full amount outstanding under the indenture becomes payable in various circumstances detailed in the indenture including if coupon payments are not made when due or when transactions are entered into that would cause certain covenants relating to interest cover to be breached. 1,901,735 reset preference shares ("RPS") were issued on 11 April 2002 at a face value of $100 each with a coupon of 8.15% per annum. The coupon is payable semi-annually, is cumulative and ranks senior to the payment of ordinary dividends. The RPS have a ten year term with specified terms able to be reset by the Company at the end of year five. Holders of RPS have the ability to request conversion of their securities to ordinary shares in Jupiters Limited and the Company may convert, repurchase such securities or sell them to a third party. Furthermore, the Company may repurchase the securities at the time of reset, maturity or if the coupon ceases to be tax deductible. Holders of RPS generally have no voting rights except in limited circumstances. The rights of holders of RPS are subordinated to all claims except ordinary shareholders. The RPS are quoted for trading on the Australian Stock Exchange. TABCORP Holdings Limited has offered to acquire the RPS (refer Note 29). The unsecured revolving credit facility is for $150 million and is provided by a bank syndicate. The average interest rate applicable to amounts drawn under this facility during the financial year was 4.76% (2002: 4.68%). The full amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and the commercial bill facilities become immediately payable (at the lenders' option) in various circumstances detailed in the facility agreements including if repayments are not made when due or certain financial covenants relating to interest cover and gearing levels are breached. The lease liabilities are secured by the specific assets that are subject to the finance leases that had a carrying value of $0.2 million at balance date. The implicit interest rates on finance leases range from 5.87% to 6.18%. Refer to Note 21(c) for details on the timing and amount of future lease payments. In addition to the revolving credit facility, the Consolidated Entity has access to a commercial bill standby facility of $50 million. $7 million of this facility has been applied towards a bank guarantee in favour of the State of Queensland in connection with the Company's performance undertakings related to the development of a convention and exhibition centre. A further $5 million of this facility has been applied towards a bank guarantee in favour of WorkCover Queensland in connection with the Consolidated Entity's self insurance of its Queensland workers' compensation liabilities (refer Notes 1 and 15). The commercial bill standby facility is an unsecured facility that is provided on a revolving basis. To the extent that the amounts owing under the facility are repaid, the facility is available to be redrawn. The Consolidated Entity also has a working capital facility for the purposes of normal operating activities. That facility includes various electronic banking capabilities, credit card services and minor temporary overdraft limits. The above facilities are subject to periodic review by the provider and the terms of the facilities may be extended at each review. 24 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 Consolidated Company ------------ ------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 $000 $000 $000 $000 -------- --------- -------- --------- 17.

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (CONT'D): (c) EXECUTIVE SHARE OPTION PLAN An executive share option plan permitted full time and permanent part time employees of the Consolidated Entity to be issued with options over the unissued ordinary shares of Jupiters Limited. The options are issued for a term of 10 years and are exercisable beginning on the third anniversary of the date of grant. The options cannot be transferred and are not quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange. The percentage of options which can be exercised will be determined by the Company's performance as measured by Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to the TSR's of the individual companies in a peer group. TSR is calculated according to a formula based on a combination of share price appreciation and dividends. The peer group comprises 50 listed industrial companies nearest in size to Jupiters Limited (25 on either side) in terms of market capitalisation of ordinary shares, excluding companies whose sole activity or business is that of funds management, investment, trusteeship or internet business. After three years have elapsed from the date of issue of the options, 50% of the options vest in the relevant employee and may be exercised where TSR equals the TSR of 55% of the companies in the peer group. An additional 2% of the options vest and may be exercised for each percentage point exceeding the TSR of 55% of companies in the peer group. 100% of the options vest and may be exercised where TSR equals or exceeds the TSR of 80% of companies in the peer group. Unvested options lapse. The options were valued at $1.13 on average on the initial grant date based on a calculation using the internationally accepted Black Scholes option pricing methodology performed by an independent specialist. However, the percentage of options which can be exercised will be determined by the Company's performance as measured by Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to the TSR's of the individual companies in a peer group. TABCORP Holdings Limited has offered to acquire all outstanding options (refer Note 29). For the purposes of valuing income of Directors and Executive Officers in Note 22(a) and 22 (b) above, a pro rata portion of the full options valuation determined at the initial grant date has been allocated to the year ended 30 June 2003 (one third). Comparatives have been restated for consistency. These allocations of option values have not been expensed in the Statements of Financial Performance. There were no options granted during the year. 75,250 options were forfeited during the year and 14,750 options were exercised. The closing balance of options on issue at 30 June 2003 was 1,570,000. The market value of the Company's ordinary shares at 30 June 2003 was $6.41 each. 23. RELATED PARTIES: The names of the Directors of Jupiters Limited holding office during the year were: Mr L.J.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT'D): (c) CREDIT RISK EXPOSURES Credit exposure represents the extent of credit related losses that the Consolidated Entity may be subject to on amounts to be exchanged under the cross currency interest rate swap agreement or to be received from financial assets. The Consolidated Entity, whilst exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the cross currency interest rate swap agreement, does not expect the counterparty to fail to meet its obligations given its high credit rating. Receivables due from major counterparties are not normally secured by collateral, however, the creditworthiness of counterparties is regularly monitored. The Consolidated Entity's exposures to items on the statement of financial position credit risk are as indicated by the carrying amounts of its financial assets. The major geographic concentrations of credit risk arise from the location of the counterparties to the Consolidated Entity's financial assets as shown in the following table. Location of Credit Risk - Net Trade Debtors Consolidated ------------ 2003 2002 $000 $000 ---- ---- Australia 12,458 11,186 Asia 6,122 1,504 Other 211 339 ------ ------ Net Trade Debtors (Note 8) 18,791 13,029 ====== ====== (d) NET FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair values except as noted below. The net fair value of a financial asset or a financial liability is the amount at which the asset could be exchanged, or liability settled in current transactions between willing parties after allowing for transaction costs. The net fair value of the cross currency interest rate swap at 30 June 2003 is estimated to be $3.0 million and represents the net amount receivable if the derivative was terminated at that date (2002: $10.8 million receivable) (refer Note 13). The net fair value of the reset preference shares at 30 June 2003 is $107.20 per share (2002: $103.45) as determined by the closing value on the Australian Stock Exchange at that date (including accrued interest) (refer Note 16). 38 JUPITERS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2003 28.

HINES Managing Director Brisbane 12 August 2003 41 [ERNST & YOUNG LETTERHEAD] INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO MEMBERS OF JUPITERS LIMITED SCOPE THE FINANCIAL REPORT AND DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY The financial report comprises the statement of financial position, statement of financial performance, statement of cash flows, accompanying notes to the financial statements, and the directors' declaration for Jupiters Limited (the company) and the consolidated entity, for the year ended 30 June 2003. The consolidated entity comprises both the company and the entities it controlled during that year. 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 the consolidated entity, 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 internal 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 and the consolidated entity's financial position, and of their performance as represented by the results of their 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 internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls. [ERNST & YOUNG LETTERHEAD] 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 judgment of the appropriateness or reasonableness of the business plans or strategies adopted by the directors and management of the company. INDEPENDENCE We are independent of the company, and have met the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements and the Corporations Act 2001. In addition to our audit of the financial report, we were engaged to undertake the services disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The provision of these services has not impaired our independence. AUDIT OPINION In our opinion, the financial report of Jupiters Limited is in accordance with: (a) the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the financial position of Jupiters Limited and the consolidated entity at 30 June 2003 and of their performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Accounting Standards in Australia and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and (b) other mandatory financial reporting requirements in Australia.
