CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to submit the 2011 Annual Report for LongReach Group Limited. Consolidated revenues for
the year from continuing operations were $10.7 million, a decline of 12.7% from the previous year. Net profit from continuing
operations before tax was -$0.3M for the year. As foreshadowed in last year’s Annual Report we continued to invest heavily in our
U.S. subsidiary, C4i Inc, during the year building the infrastructure necessary to ensure we capture our share of this important
market. All of the costs associated with this investment have been expensed as incurred.
C4i business performance continues to be impacted by the Global Financial Crisis with governments internationally continuing to
delay issuing new contracts. The C4i export efforts were further impacted by the strong Australian dollar for most of FY2011.
Although the year represented no growth in revenues, C4i did further develop its sales pipeline which we expect to be realised over
the next two (2) financial years. Additionally C4i spent considerable effort in advancing its world leading SwitchplusIP product
allowing the business to explore new vertical markets and accelerate deployment of new contracts.
C4i Inc’s results once again were significantly behind budget for FY2011, however the board is encouraged by the positive start to
FY2012 with C4i Inc securing orders in the first quarter equal to the full FY2011 result.
2011 Highlights
From an operational point of view, the C4i business achieved a number of milestones during the year, notably:
1) C4i secured and executed a number of public safety projects in the USA. C4i Inc has actively been working on developing an
engineering and project management capability in the USA allowing contracts to be executed directly. This strategy will
allow C4i to provide natural hedging on US/AUD with work being executed in the currency quoted, along with providing its
customer base a more responsive supplier.
2) The company completed delivery of a niche command and control system for the Royal Australian Air Force. This mobile
Red/Black VoIP application and technology is unique to C4i, with C4i currently exploring a number of export opportunities.
C4i is currently scheduled to deliver another Air Defence application to the Middle East later this calendar year, following
successful contract award in April of this year.
3) The company also completed works on the Sydney Ports project, which provides a command and control system for vessel
management in and around Sydney ports and harbours. This is the second such system delivered by C4i with numerous
other opportunities currently being explored internationally.
4) The company continued the rollout of systems to airports associated with the Airservices Australia national IP based
communications system for the 20 Australian airports. C4i has successfully completed the commissioning of 17 airports,
with the final three scheduled to be complete early 2012. In parallel to this project, C4i successfully completed the
commissioning of a new Alarmon system for Dubai International airport. This system has now been in service for ten (10)
months and has received very positive feedback from Dubai Airports Corporation. C4i views this as a key reference site for
future airport opportunities in the region, as Dubai international Airport is one of the busiest international airports, and the
largest and most advanced in the region.
5) The company continued its internal refinement of core products through heavy investment in R&D resulting in reduced
delivery time frames of contracts and cost of goods. The benefits of this investment will continue to be realised in the
upcoming year as the C4i SwitchplusIP products are proven and reliable products that are both market and technology
leading. R&D investment for the year represented 25% of the revenues which demonstrates the commitment of
Longreach’s board to ensuring SwitchplusIP remains a world leading product in its niche markets. The product has been
developed to support more vertical markets, with contracts for this technology in Defence, Public Safety, Mining, and
Transportation industries. The mature C4i product lends itself to rapid development and tailoring to meet unique customer
requirements. This translates to C4i being able to secure and deliver products to customers within months of contract
award, providing a competitive edge both in terms of technology and rapid deployment.
6) C4i continued to successfully sell and deliver systems to the international community, with contracted work being
performed in over ten countries, and C4i receiving first orders in five different countries from Europe, the Middle East and
Asia. C4i is encouraged by its international reseller network securing new orders in these countries and independently
financing new business development activities as it believes C4i technology is “world leading”.
Objectives for 2012
C4i’s prime objective for FY2012 is to secure projects from the large sales pipeline developed over the last two years. C4i will
continue to look at new ways to generate more annuity revenues to complement the lumpy project work the business is currently
pursuing. Year to date C4i has successfully secured three new maintenance contracts which accounts for approximately 8% of 2011
revenues. C4i is actively looking at developing its product, engineering, and project management capability to meet the
requirements of a new vertical market, the Resources sector. C4i has had some success and has confirmed its engineering and
product suitability to this market. C4i sees this as key to FY2012 while other vertical markets continue to languish. C4i has now
exported to over 25 countries and continues to identify new geographic markets for future export. This work requires the ongoing
efforts of identifying, developing and appointing international resellers and representatives. C4i is actively focussing on geographic
regions where infrastructure development must continue regardless of financial constraints.

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 3 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
Corporate
At both the corporate and the C4i level we have continued to look for strategic partners and acquisitions both to bolster our
existing offerings and to expand and diversify our earnings stream. It is disappointing that we have not as yet found a suitable and
suitably priced opportunity, but we prefer to remain selective when considering acquisitions. C4i will also continue to invest in R&D
associated with its world class SwitchplusIP product to ensure it continues to be a market leader.
Summary and Outlook
The global recession has clearly resulted in a slowdown in government spending, but with many government contracts being
deferred rather than cancelled. C4i is positioned well with established proposals and developed opportunities in multiple vertical
and geographic markets waiting for governments to make available funds for these types of acquisitions. Although this work is still
in competition, the current C4i products and solutions are market leading providing a great technology edge over our traditional
competitors.
As these delays continue for a second year C4i has identified the Resource and Mining market as applicable to C4i technology and
skills. This market is still project based, however with the strong growth in the resource sector there are more opportunities all
with motivation to commence work sooner rather than delaying.
Because C4i currently derives most of its revenues from a relatively small number of large contracts and because of the long and
unpredictable lead times associated with these contracts, it is difficult to predict annual results with any reliability. The fact that
most governmental bodies around the world are looking to reduce or delay expenditure where possible compounds the problem.
C4i will continue efforts to grow and diversify both its vertical and geographic markets in FY2012.
Finally on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the management and staff of C4i for their hard work and dedication during the
year. The C4i business depends heavily on the quality and reliability of its staff.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This remuneration report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and the Group in
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report, key
management personnel of the Group are defined as those having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling
the major activities of the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of
the parent company, and includes the five executives in the Parent and the Group receiving the highest remuneration.
For the purposes of this report, the term “executive” encompasses the chief executive, senior executives, general managers and
secretaries of the Parent and the Group.
Remuneration policy
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations on the remuneration policies and practices of the
Company and its controlled entities, on the remuneration packages of the Executive Directors and senior management, and on the
adequacy of fees paid to Non-Executive Directors.
The broad approach to remuneration is to ensure that remuneration packages properly reflect individuals’ duties and
responsibilities, are competitively set to attract, retain and motivate appropriately qualified and experienced Directors, senior
management and personnel, and uphold the interests of shareholders.
The remuneration policy aims to align Director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a
fixed remuneration component and offering specific long term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the
Consolidated Entity’s financial results. The Board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to
attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Consolidated Entity.
Fixed remuneration
All Directors and executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience) and
superannuation guarantee contributions required by the government, currently at 9%. The base salary is calculated on a total cost
to Company basis and includes FBT charges related to employee benefits including motor vehicles. The Remuneration Committee
reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Consolidated Entity’s performance, executive performance and
comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
Performance based remuneration
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives and bonuses. The policy is designed to attract the highest
calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long term growth in shareholder wealth.

Employee Share Plan
Employees may be granted share options under the Company’s shareholder approved Employee Share Plan. The Company has
established this plan to encourage employees to share in the ownership of the Company, in order to promote the long term success
of Company as a goal shared by the Employees. The Shares granted to employees are conditional on performance hurdles, and
have a predetermined exercise price of $0.30 at vesting dates. The shares are issued to employees under an Employee Share Loan
Plan. The loan plan is non-recourse (i.e. employee has an option over the shares, because if the value of shares fall, the employee is
not obliged to keep the share and repay the loan) and will operate over a four year period, with a vesting date of 30 September
each year.
The condition of the loan is that at the end of the four year period, the loan is to be repaid in one of the following ways.
! Company buy-back of shares;
! Employee repays the loan with cash; or
! Should the share price be lower than share purchase price, the shares are forfeited and the employee is not required to repay
the loan.
No shares under Employee Share Plan were granted to any non executive directors during the current financial year.
Service contracts
It is the Consolidated Entity’s policy that service contracts for Executive Directors and senior management be in force for indefinite
periods. The agreements are capable of termination, acknowledging appropriate notice periods, and the Consolidated Entity
retains the right to terminate the contract immediately through contractual breach on the part of the executive or by making
payment in lieu of notice. The Executive Directors and senior management are also entitled to receive on termination of
employment their statutory entitlements of accrued annual leave and long service leave, together with any superannuation
benefits.
The service agreements outline the components of remuneration paid to the Executive Directors and senior executives and
prescribe that the remuneration levels are modified based on inflation or performance criteria individually agreed. Remuneration
levels are reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee.
The service contracts currently entered into with key management personnel are as follows:
Mr Harrison has an employment agreement for an indefinite term and it is comprised of a basic salary plus a performance incentive
payable based on the achievement of key performance indicators. The termination provisions in the service contract cover
immediate termination for misconduct in the course of performing duties; upon bankruptcy and committing a criminal offence; and
termination with payment of one months notice. The key performance indicator on which Mr Harrison’s performance incentive is
payable, is the achievement of budgeted EBIT.
Mr Kay has an employment agreement for an indefinite term and it is comprised of a basic salary plus a performance incentive
payable based on the achievement of key performance indicators. The termination provisions in the service contract cover
immediate termination for misconduct in the course of performing duties; upon bankruptcy and committing a criminal offence; and
termination with payment of one months notice. The key performance indicator on which Mr Kay’s performance incentive is
payable, is the achievement of budgeted EBIT.
Non-executive Directors
The Company’s Constitution provides that the Non-executive Directors are each entitled to be paid such remuneration from the
Company as the Board decides for their services as Director, but the total amount provided to all Non-executive Directors for their
services must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount fixed by the Company in general meetings. This amount is
currently fixed at $300,000. Non-executive Directors’ fees may be in the form of cash and superannuation contributions. They may
also be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses incurred in attending to the Company’s affairs. Non-executive Directors of the
Company are not provided with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation. The remuneration of Non-executive
Directors must not include a commission on, or percentage of, profits or operating revenue and they do not receive options or
bonus payments. Fees for Non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Consolidated Entity.
Names and positions held of Directors and Executives (Key Management Personnel) in office at any time during the financial year

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company is committed to best practice in the area of corporate governance. This statement provides an outline of the main
corporate governance practices undertaken by the Company during the 2011 financial year. Except in regard to specific elements
of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s principles and recommendations (“recommendations”) as disclosed below, the
Company considers its corporate governance practices achieve compliance with the recommendations in a manner appropriate for
smaller listed entities such as LongReach Group Ltd. All practices, unless otherwise stated, have been applied for the year to 30
June 2011.
PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT
"Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management."
The roles and responsibilities of the board and management
The Board has the primary responsibility for guiding and monitoring the business and affairs of the Group, including compliance
with the Company’s corporate governance objectives.
The Board sets the strategic direction of the company and, through the Managing Director and Senior Management, have oversight
and monitor the implementation and progression by the Company f that strategic direction.
The responsibilities of the Board, the Managing Director and the Chairman are detailed in the Board Charter which is available on
the Company website (www.longreach.com).
Performance review
LongReach Group has process in place to review the performance of senior management. Each senior executive, including the
Managing Director, has personal objectives as well as objectives related to the performance of business or functional units and
LongReach as a whole. They are reviewed against those objectives at least annually. A performance review of senior management
has been conducted during the Reporting Period.
Performance evaluation of the Managing Director is handled by the Chairman with the assistance of the Remuneration committee.
Assessment and monitoring of the performance of other senior executives are handled by the Managing Director.
PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
"Companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and
duties."
Composition of the board
The Board is currently comprised of two non-executive directors and one executive director. The composition of the Board is
subject to review in the following ways:
! One-third (or if that is not a whole number, the whole number nearest to one-third) of the Directors retire each year, by
rotation, as required by the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules. The Constitution also states that any Director
who has been appointed during the course of the year must retire at the next Annual General Meeting. Eligible Directors who
retire each year may offer themselves for re-election by the shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting.
! The Board has established a Board Nomination Committee which is charged with responsibility for periodically reviewing the
size and composition of the Board to ensure that it is structured to make appropriate decisions with a variety of perspectives
and skills in the best interests of the Company as a whole.
! An annual review of the Board as a whole, and individual members of the Board, is undertaken to assess the effectiveness of
the Board against the requirements of the Board’s Charter and the Constitution of the Company. In addition, a review is
conducted of the performance of each Director who retires from office and seeks to re-nominate for a Board position.
Short biographies of the Directors of the Company are set out on page 4 and details of their term of office are disclosed on page 62.
The biographies contain details of relevant skills, experience and expertise of each Director. For

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 15 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
Independence
At this stage of development of the company, the Board considers it neither appropriate nor cost effective for there to be a
majority of independent directors.
This matter will be under review and as circumstances allow, consideration will be given to the appropriate time to move to
adopting the ASX Corporate Governance Council Recommendations.
Currently, the Board comprises three non-independent directors, one of whom is the Chairman. At the date of this report, the
Board comprises of one executive director and two non-executive directors.
Details of the members of the Board, their experience, expertise and qualifications are set out in the Directors’ Report on page 4.
The Board has assessed the independence status of the directors and has determined that there are no independent directors.
The Board has followed the CGC guidelines when assessing the independence of the directors which define an independent
director to be a director who:
! is non-executive;
! is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a
substantial shareholder of the Company;
! has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another consolidated entity
member, or been a director after ceasing to hold such employment;
! within the last three years has not been a principal or employee of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to
the Company or another consolidated entity member;
! is not a significant supplier or customer of the Company or another consolidated entity member, or an officer of or otherwise
associated, directly or indirectly, with a significant supplier or customer;
! has no material contractual relationship with the Company or another consolidated entity member other than as a director of
the Company; and
! is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially
interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.
Materiality for these purposes is determined on both quantitative and qualitative basis. An amount which is greater than five
percent of either the annual turnover of the consolidated entity or an individual director’s net worth is considered material for
these purposes. In addition, a transaction of any amount or a relationship is deemed material if knowledge of it impacts the
shareholders’ understanding of the director’s performance.
Access to information and independent advice
The Board, and each individual Director, is entitled to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense, subject to
the reasonableness of the costs and Board consent, in the conduct of their duties for the Group. In addition, the Board has full
access to Company records.
Board meetings
The Board’s business is largely conducted by a program of monthly meetings, together with such additional meetings as may be
required from time to time. Executives are required to attend and be present at Board meetings and answer questions from
Directors. Details of attendance at meetings of the Board can be found at page 7 of this Report.
Committees
The Board has established three Committees, all of which operate pursuant to formal charters;
! the Audit & Risk Management Committee,
! the Nomination Committee and
! the Remuneration Committee.
Mr Bernecker is Chairman of the Audit & Risk Management Committee and Mr Case is Chairman of the Nomination Committee and
the Remuneration Committee. Mr Harrison is a member of both committees. For

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISIONMAKING
"Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision-making."
Ethical Standards – Code of Conduct
The Board recognises the need to observe the highest standards of corporate practice and business conduct. Accordingly the Board
has adopted a formal Code of Ethics and a Code of Conduct which set out the standards in accordance with which each executive,
manager and employee of the Company is required to act. The Code of Conduct deals with standards of conduct for the Company’s
relationship with its shareholders, its customers, its staff and the community at large. The key aspects of this code are:
! to act with honesty, integrity and fairness
! to act in accordance with the law
! to use Company resources and property appropriately.
! comply with the share trading policy outlined in the Code of Conduct.
Diversity Policy
Change made to the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendation in 2010 include the recommendation
that companies establish a diversity policy that includes requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for
achieving gender diversity and to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.
The company is committed to diversity and recognises the benefits arising from employee and board diversity and the importance
of benefiting from all available talent. Accordingly, the company is currently looking to establish a diversity policy which, once
complete, will be available at www.longreach.com.
Dealing in Company Shares
The Company has a formal Share Trading Policy for all Group personnel, including Directors, senior management, employees and
contractors. The policy reinforces the restrictions in the Corporations Act 2001 with respect to insider trading and use of price-
sensitive information.
Under the terms of the policy, Group personnel may only buy or sell Company shares, without needing to obtain prior approval,
during a trading window of four months commencing on the next trading day immediately following the half-yearly results
announcement and the period of four months commencing on the next trading day immediately following the preliminary final
profit announcement of the Company.
In all instances buying or selling Company shares is not permitted at any time by any person who possesses price-sensitive
information not available to the market.
PRINCIPLE 4: SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING
"Companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting."
Audit committee
The names and qualifications of those appointed to the audit committee and their attendance at meetings of the committee are
included in the directors’ report.
Financial statements
The Company’s financial statements preparation and approval process for the 2011 financial year involved the Chief Executive
Officer providing a declaration to the Board that in his opinion:
! the financial records of the Consolidated Entity have been properly maintained in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001;
and
! the financial statements and notes thereto for the financial year comply with the accounting standards and provide a true and
fair view in all material respects of the Company’s financial condition and operational results.
In making this statement the Chief Executive Officer indicated to the Board that:
! the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control systems are operating efficiently and effectively in all
material respects; and
! the statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the
policies adopted by the Board.

PRINCIPLE 5: MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE
"Companies should promote timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters concerning the company."
Information disclosure and shareholder communication
The Company has in place a formal policy with respect to its continuous disclosure obligations and procedures. The Board seeks to
ensure that shareholders are provided with sufficient information to assess the performance of the Company.
PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
"Companies should respect the rights of shareholders and facilitate the effective exercise of those rights."
The Company has in placed a formal policy for communication with shareholders which enhances its strong culture of disclosure to
keep the shareholders and the relevant markets informed. The Policy reflects the Board’s requirement that shareholders should be
fully informed about the Company and that shareholders should have access to the latest information available utilising, where
practicable, electronic communications to keep shareholders and the relevant markets informed of relevant information from the
Company in a timely manner.
In addition to the Annual Report which is mailed to shareholders who have requested so, the Company uses its website to
communicate with its shareholders. The website provides electronic access to the latest and past Annual Reports and Financial
Statements, ASX releases, share price information, presentation material and analyst reports.
PRINCIPLE 7: RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
"Companies should establish a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control."
Risk management
The Board is responsible for overseeing the Group’s systems of internal control and risk management. The Board has delegated the
review of risk management to the Audit & Risk Management Committee which is comprised of two Directors. The primary
objective of that Committee is to assist the Board to fulfil its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities relating to
financial accounting practices, risk management, internal control systems, external reporting and the internal and external audit
function.
The executive management team has responsibility for implementing the risk management systems and internal controls within
the Group. The management team is integral in identifying the risks in the Group’s operations and activities. Regular monitoring of
risks, risk management and compliance is conducted by the Audit & Risk Management Committee and by management.
PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
"Companies should ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to
performance is clear."

Standard Impact
AASB 2009:Financial instruments
(December 2010)
This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013. This standard is
applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirement for the classification and measurement of financial
instruments. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group.
AASB 124: Related Party
Disclosures
This standard is applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011. This standard
removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the
government and other government-related entities and clarifies the definition of a "related party" to remove
the inconsistencies and simplify the structure for the standard. No changes are expected to materially affect the
Group.
AASB 2010-6:Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards -
Disclosure on Transfers of Financial
Assets (AASB 1 and AASB 7)
This standard is applicable for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011. This standard adds and
amends disclosure requirements about transfers of financial assets, especially those in respect of the nature of
the financial assets involved and the risks associated with them. Accordingly, this Standard makes amendments
to AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, and AASB 7: Financial Instruments:
Disclosures, establishing additional disclosure requirements in relation to transfers of financial assets.

AASB 2009–12: Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards
[AASBs 5, 8, 108, 110, 112, 119,
133, 137, 139, 1023 & 1031 and
Interpretations 2, 4, 16, 1039 &
1052] (applicable for annual
reporting periods commencing on
or after 1 January 2011).
This Standard makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and
Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made to the text of IFRSs by the IASB. The Standard
also amends AASB 8 to require entities to exercise judgment in assessing whether a government and entities
known to be under the control of that government are considered a single customer for the purposes of certain
operating segment disclosures. The amendments are not expected to impact the Group.
AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of
Australian Accounting Standards
and AASB 2010–2: Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards
arising from Reduced Disclosure
Requirements [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8,
101, 102, 107, 108, 110, 111, 112,
116, 117, 119, 121, 123, 124, 127,

Interpretations 2, 4, 5, 15, 17, 127,
129 & 1052] (applicable for annual
reporting periods commencing on
or after 1 July 2013).
AASB 1053 establishes a revised differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of financial
reporting requirements for those entities preparing general purpose financial statements:
Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
Tier 2 of the framework comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but
contains significantly fewer disclosure requirements.
The following entities are required to apply Tier 1 reporting requirements (ie full IFRS):
for private sector entities that have public accountability; and
the Australian Government and state, territory and local governments .
Since the Group is a for-profit private sector entity that has public accountability, it does not qualify for the
reduced disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities.
AASB 2010–7: Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards
arising from AASB 9 (December
2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102,
108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128,
131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 &
1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10,
12, 19 & 127] (applies to periods
beginning on or after 1 January
2013).
This Standard makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations as a
consequence of the issuance of AASB 9: Financial Instruments in December 2010. Accordingly, these
amendments will only apply when the entity adopts AASB 9.
As noted above, the Group has not yet determined any potential impact on financial statements from adopting
AASB 9.
AASB 2010–8: Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards –
Deferred Tax: Recovery of
Underlying Assets [AASB 112]
(applies to periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2012).
This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes
The amendments brought in by this Standard introduce a more practical approach for measuring deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model under
AASB 140: Investment Property.
Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on
whether an entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a
presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the
investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the
economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. The amendments
brought in by this Standard also incorporate Interpretation 121 into AASB 112. The amendments are not
expected to impact the Group.
(D) STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED WITH NO EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have also been adopted in these Financial Statements. Their adoption
has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these Financial Statements but may affect the accounting for future
transactions or arrangements.
Standard Impact Effective for annual
reporting periods beginning
on or after
AASB 2009-14 Amendments to
Australian Interpretation -
Prepayments of a Minimum
Funding requirement
This amendment applies when an entity is subject to minimum funding
requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those
requirements, permitting the benefit of such an early payment to be recognised as
an asset. This is not expected to impact the Group.

include:
clarifying the application of AASB 108 prior to an entity’s first Australian-
Accounting-Standards financial statements;
adding an explicit statement to AASB 7 that qualitative disclosures should be made
in the context of the quantitative disclosures to better enable users to evaluate an
entity’s exposure to risks arising from financial instruments;
amending AASB 101 to the effect that disaggregation of changes in each
component of equity arising from transactions recognised in other comprehensive
income is required to be presented, but is permitted to be presented in the
statement of changes in equity or in the notes;
adding a number of examples to the list of events or transactions that require
disclosure under AASB 134; and
making sundry editorial amendments to various Standards and Interpretations.

the risks associated with them. Accordingly, this Standard makes amendments to
AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, and AASB 7:
Financial Instruments: Disclosures, establishing additional disclosure requirements
in relation to transfers of financial assets.
This Standard is not expected to impact the group.
1 January 2011
(E) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by LongReach Group
Limited at the end of reporting period. A controlled entity is an entity over which LongReach Grop Limited has the ability and right
to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity activities. The financial statements of the
subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit
and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full on consolidation.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from
the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting
involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
(F) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
(i) Significant accounting judgements
Impairment
The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that
may be indicative of impairment triggers. These include product performance, technology, economic and political environment and
future product expectations. If an impairment trigger exists the recoverable amount of asset is determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 (CONTINUED)
ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 27 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
Considering the above, management tested the assets for impairment at the end of reporting period. The group assessed the value
in use of assets in accordance with NOTE 2(u), and considered also whether there existed any market indicators of fair value less
costs to sell, to compare with value in use. This was performed by comparison to a determination of the fair value less costs to sell
which was determined by reference to recent contractual exchanges for the sale of identical or similar assets between
knowledgeable parties.
As a result, no impairment has been determined to be required in respect of the intangible assets at the end of reporting period.
(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events.
Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both
externally and within the Group. Key estimates are:
Employee Leave Benefits
Liability for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settle
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payable in respect of employee’s service up to the reporting date.
They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave
are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of
expected future benefits. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national
government bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match.
Share – based payment transactions
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instrument
at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using the binomial model with the assumptions detailed in NOTE
28.
Work in Progress
Work-in-progress is valued at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated future losses. Cost includes both
variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to contract activity in general and that
can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Profits are recognised at the stage of completion basis and measured using the proportions
of costs incurred to date as compared to expected actual costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for in full. Major
contract revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjustment for any variations or claims allowable
under the contract.
(G) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer and the cost incurred
or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risk and rewards of ownership are considered passed to
the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.
(ii) Rendering of services
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of the completion of a contract. Stage of completion is
measured by reference to the labour hours and total cost incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours and total
cost for each contract.
(iii) Integrated goods and services contracts
Revenue from contracts where the goods and rendering of services are integrated as a single design and build product, is
recognised by reference to the stage of the completion of a contract. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the total
contract costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated contract cost for each contract.
(iv) Interest income
Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

NOTE 2 (CONTINUED)
ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 28 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
(v) Dividends
Revenue is recognised when the Groups’ right to receive the payment is established.
(H) BORROWING COSTS
Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred, or if related to a qualifying asset, are capitalised.
(I) LEASES
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an
assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement
conveys a right to use the asset.
(i) Group as a lessee
Finance leases which effectively transfer to the Group substantially all the risk and benefits incidental to the ownership of the
leased terms, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of
the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and the reduction of the lease liability
so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as an expense
in Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Capitalised leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term if there is no
reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over
the lease term. Lease incentives are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an integral part of the total lease
expense.
(J) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with
an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above,
net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities
on the Statement of Financial Position.
(K) TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.
An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad
debts are written off when identified.
(L) INVENTORIES AND WORK IN PROGRESS
Inventories including raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs are assigned to individual items of stock on a weighted average cost basis.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:
! Raw materials and finished goods are carried at cost.
! Work-in-progress is valued at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated future losses. Cost includes
both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to contract activity in general
and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Profits are recognised at the stage of completion basis and measured using the
proportions of costs incurred to date as compared to expected actual costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for
in full. Major contract revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjustment for any variations or
claims allowable under the contract.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 (CONTINUED)
ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 29 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(M) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Items included in the financial statements of each of the consolidated entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, which is LongReach Group's functional and presentation currency.
Each entity in the consolidation entity determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements each
entity are measured using the functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at dates of the
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year
end exchange rates of monetary assets liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at
the date of the initial transaction.
Resulting exchange differences, including those when payment is made, are recognised in the net profit or loss for the year.
The functional currency of the overseas subsidiary C4i Inc is US dollars.
(N) DERECOGNITION OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
! the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
! the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without
material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; or
! The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks
and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has
transferred control of the asset.
(ii) Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially
all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group’s
continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is
measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the
Group could be required to repay.
When continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-settled option or similar
provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that
the Group may repurchase, except that in the case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on
an asset measured at fair value, the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the
transferred asset and the option exercise price.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability
and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 30 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
(O) IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
The Group assesses at each Statement of Financial Position date whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
(i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the
amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest
rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced either directly or
through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually
significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If it is determined that no
objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included
in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for
impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognised
are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of
an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised
cost at the reversal date.
(ii) Financial assets carried at cost
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair
value (because its fair value cannot be reliably measured), or on a derivative asset that is linked to and must be settled by delivery
of such an unquoted equity instrument, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount
and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
(iii) Available-for-sale investments
If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale investment is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its
cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in
profit or loss, is transferred from equity to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Reversals of impairment losses for equity
instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit. Reversals of impairment losses for debt instruments are
reversed through profit or loss if the increase in an instrument’s fair value can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
(P) INCOME TAX
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or
paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the Statement of Financial Position date between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
! when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction
that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable
profit or loss; or
! when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures,
and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference
will not reverse in the foreseeable future. For

y
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 (CONTINUED)
ANNUA L R EP ORT 20 11 31 LONGR EAC H GR OUP LI MITED
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused
tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences
and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
! when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or
! when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint
ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset
to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each Statement of Financial Position date and are recognised to the
extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
Statement of Financial Position date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against
current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
(Q) GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
! when 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 items as applicable; and
! receivables and payables, which 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.
(R) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred.
Similarly, when each major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a
replacement only if it is eligible for capitalisation.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
! Property – 1-5 years
! Plant and equipment – 3-4 years
The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year
end. For

(i) Impairment
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being
estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating
unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The
asset or cash-generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount.
For property, plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(ii) Derecognition and disposal
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected
from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the
carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
(S) INVESTMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS
Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classified as either financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, or available for sale investments, as appropriate. When financial
assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or
loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition
and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to
purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require delivery
of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'.
Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with the intention of
making a profit. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or
loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
(iii) Available for sale investments
After initial recognition available for sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate
component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the
cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised as profit or loss.
The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market
bid prices at the close of business on the Statement of Financial Position date. For investments with no active market, fair value is
determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the
current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. For

(T) GOODWILL
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination
over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.
Following initial recognition, goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may be impaired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each
of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups or cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.
Each unit or group of units to which goodwill is so allocated:
! represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and
! is not larger than a segment based on either the Group’s primary or the Group’s secondary reporting format determined in
accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units), to
which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) is less than
the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash-
generating units) and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is
included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill
disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-
generating unit retained.
Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.
(U) INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset
acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are
carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets,
excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which the
expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised
over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The
amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at each
financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in
accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in profit or loss in the expense
category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit
level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed each reporting
period to determine whether indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life
assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a
prospective basis.
(i) Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is
recognised only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be
available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future
economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure
attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the
cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment
losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected benefits from the related project.

(V) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
At the end of each reporting period, the group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including the dividend received from
subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profit. If such an indication exists an
impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being higher of the asset’s fair value
less costs to sell and value in use, to asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable
amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another
standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a
revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(W) INTEREST-BEARING LOANS AND BORROWINGS
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction
costs.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the Statement of Financial Position date.
(X) PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation.
When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement
is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is
presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the risks
specific to the liability.
When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.
(Y) PROVISION FOR WARRANTIES
Provision is made in respect of the consolidated group’s estimated liability on all products and services under warranty at balance
date. The provision is measured as the present value of future cash flows estimated to be required to settle the warranty
obligation. Management estimates the related provision for future warranty claims based on historical warranty claim information,
as well as recent trends that might suggest that past cost information may differ from future claims. For comparative of warranty
provisions please refer to NOTE 20(ii)
(Z) EMPLOYEE LEAVE BENEFITS
(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date.
They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave
are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected
unit credit method. Consideration is given to expect future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures, and
periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government
bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(AA) SHARE BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS
The Group provides benefits to employees (including key management personnel) of the Group in the form of share-based
payment transactions, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (‘equity-settled
transactions’).
In addition to share options granted under the share option scheme, share options and other security related discretionary
incentives may be offered to directors, key management personnel - executives and third parties, subject to any necessary
shareholder, ASX and other statutory or regulatory requirements.
The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at the date at which they
are granted. The fair value is determined by using a binomial model.
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price
of the shares of LongReach Group Limited (‘market conditions’).
The cost of equity–settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the
performance conditions are fulfilled ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully-entitled to the award
(‘vesting date’).
The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until vesting date reflects
7) the extent to which the vesting period has expired; and
8) the number of awards that, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, will ultimately vest. This opinion is formed based
on the best available information at balance date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance
conditions being met as the affect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant date.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market
condition.
Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet
recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and
designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a
modification of the original award.
The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.
(BB) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Subsidiaries of the Consolidated Entity use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign exchange rate risks arising
from operational activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Consolidated Entity does not hold or issue derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as
trading instruments. There are no derivatives at balance date.
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is the estimated amount that the subsidiary would receive or pay to terminate
the forward contract at the Statement of Financial Position date, taking into account current foreign exchange rates and the
current creditworthiness of the forward exchange counterparties. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted
market price at the Statement of Financial Position date, being the present value of the quoted forward price.
(CC) CONTRIBUTED EQUITY
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(DD) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing
equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares,
adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:
! costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;
! the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as
expenses; and
! other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential
ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for
any bonus element.
(EE) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or
other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at
the date of exchange plus costs directly attributable to the combination. Where equity instruments are issued in a business
combination, the fair value of the instruments is their published market price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare
circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator or fair value and
that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of
equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.
Except for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale (which are measured at fair value less costs to sell), all
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at
their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interests. The excess of the cost of the business
combination over the net fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the cost
of acquisition is less than the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary, the difference is
recognised as a gain in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, but only after reassessment of the identification and
measurement of the net assets acquired.
Where settlement of any part of the consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present
value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
(FF) COMPARATIVE FIGURES
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the
current financial year.
Where the Group has retrospectively applied in accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement of items in the financial
statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.
(GG) DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction. They are not depreciated or
amortised. For an asset or disposal group to be classified as held for sale, it must be available for immediate sale in its present
condition and its sale must be highly probable or in the event that it is held as a disposal group, the decision to dispose of or close
down the business must have been taken.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to
sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in
excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of
the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents
a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of
business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations
are presented separately on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTE 3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, cash and short-term deposits.
The Group enters into derivative transactions, principally forward currency contracts, with the purpose of managing currency risk
arising from the Group’s foreign currency denominates sales. Forward currency contracts are only entered into when the timing of
the receivable can be predicted with reasonable certainty.
The main risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses
different methods to measure and manage different types of risks to which it’s exposed. These include monitoring levels of
exposure to foreign exchange risk and assessments of market forecasts for foreign exchange. Ageing analyses and monitoring of
specific credit allowances and the establishment of letters of credit are undertaken to manage credit risk and liquidity risk is
monitored through the development of future rolling cash flow forecasts.
(i) Risk Exposures and Responses
Interest rate risk
The Group has limited exposure to market interest rates as it doesn't have any long-term debt obligations.
At balance date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to Australian Variable interest rate risk
that are not designated in cash flow hedges:

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Net exposure 2,345,122 5,220,544
At 30 June 2011, if interest rates had moved, with all other variables held constant, post tax profit would have been affected as
follows:
! + 1% (100 basis points) increase in interest rate: Consolidated profit after tax would increase by $11,200per annum (2010:
$50,900) and
! - .5% (50 basis points) decrease in interest rate: Consolidated profit after tax would decrease by $5,600 per annum (2010:
$25,450).
Foreign currency risk
As a result of C4i Inc, the sales and marketing office in the United States of America for C4i Pty Ltd’s products, and due to a
significant proportion of C4i Pty Ltd’s sales occurring to international customers, the Group’s Statement of Financial Position can be
affected by movements in US$ / A$ exchange rates.
The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from sales, purchases or operating expenses by an
operating entity in currencies other than the functional currency.
Approximately 31% of the Group’s sales are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operating entity
making the sale, whilst almost 95% of costs are denominated in the Group's functional currency.
Where there is a high level of certainty with respect to the commitment and timing of foreign currency transactions, the Group
requires its operating entity to use forward currency contracts to eliminate the currency exposures.
It is the Group’s policy not to enter into forward contracts until a firm commitment is in place and until the transactional payment
terms are assured with a high degree of confidence.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprises cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables
and other financial assets. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the counter party, with a maximum
exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Exposure at balance date is addressed in each applicable note.
The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure.
The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Group’s
policy to securitise its trade and other receivables.
It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, including
an assessment of their financial position, past experience and industry reputation.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group’s exposure to bad debts is not
significant.
There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group and financial instruments are spread amongst a number of
financial institutions to minimise the risk of default of counter parties.
At 30 June, the ageing of trade receivables is as follows:
Consolidated Total 0-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days +91 days Impaired
receivables
2011 2,922,144 2,713,681 144,194 - 64,269 -

Receivables past due are not considered impaired are: Consolidated $64,269 (2010: $322,142). The operating entities have been in
direct contact with the relevant debtor as is satisfied that payment will be received in full.
Receivable past due considered impaired are: Consolidated $Nil.
Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these
other balances will be received when due.
Liquidity risk
The Group’s current objective is to have sufficient funding available to meet its financial commitments without requiring the use of
bank overdraft or credit line facilities.
The table below reflects all contractually fixed pay-offs and receivables for settlement, repayments and interest resulting from
recognised financial assets and liabilities. Cash flows for financial assets and liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on
the conditions existing at 30 June 2011.

The tax rate used in above reconciliation is corporate tax rate of 30% payable by Australian corporate entities on taxable profits
under Australian tax law. There has been no change in the corporate tax rate when compared with the previous reporting period.
The Group has tax losses of $4,097,548 (2010: $3,070,007) potentially available for offset against future taxable profits of the
Longreach tax consolidated group. Future use of the losses is subject to continued satisfaction of the statutory loss rules. In
addition, the rate at which losses are available will be limited to the relevant Available Fraction. The available fraction at 30 June
2011 was 39% of annual taxable income but this is subject to change on the occurrence of certain events. These tax losses have not
been recognised and brought to account in the current financial year as it is not considered that the future recovery of the losses
against taxable income is more likely than not. It is considered probable that these tax losses will not be able to be offset against
future taxable profits in the event that the Group has a change of control in the future.
At 30 June 2011, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability for taxes that would be payable on the
unremitted earnings of certain of the Group’s subsidiaries as the Group has no liability for additional taxation should such amounts
be remitted.
(i) Tax consolidation
LongReach Group Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries have formed a tax consolidated group with effect
from 1 July 2004. LongReach Group Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group. Members of the group have entered
into a tax sharing arrangement in order to allocate income tax expense to the wholly owned subsidiaries on a pro-rata basis. In
addition the agreement provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on
its tax payment obligations. At the balance date, the possibility of default is remote. For

(ii) Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group
Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement provides for the
allocation of current taxes to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with their accounting profit for the period,
while deferred taxes are allocated to members of the tax consolidated group in accordance with the principles of AASB 112 Income
Taxes. Allocations under the tax funding agreement are made at the end of each year.
The allocation of taxes under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the subsidiaries’ inter-company
accounts with the tax consolidated group head company, LongReach Group Limited. Because under Australian Accounting
Interpretation 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting the allocation of current taxes to tax consolidated group members on the basis of
accounting profits is not an acceptable method of allocation given the group’s circumstances, the difference between the current
tax amount that is allocated under the tax funding agreement and the amount that is allocated under an acceptable method is
recognised as a contribution/distribution of the subsidiaries’ equity accounts. The Group has applied the group allocation approach
in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. There were no
contributions / distributions during the year.

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit / (loss) for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of
the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit / (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of
ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

recoverable amount estimation was based on fair value less costs to sell and was determined at the cash-generating unit level. The
basis for determining the fair value is the Directors’ assessment of the ongoing value in use of the assets.
The useful life of the assets was estimated as follows both for 2010 and 2011:
Property 1 - 5 years

Goodwill
All Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been fully impaired and written off in years prior to the current financial
year.
Other identifiable intangible assets
Internally generated capitalised development intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment
losses. Amortisation of these assets is based on lifetime revenues of the products for which the development costs relate. These
intangible assets have been assessed as having a finite life and are amortised using the straight line method over a period of 10
years. Management believes that this method accurately reflects the consumption of the economic benefit derived from the
capitalised development. Management will review this amortisation method on an annual basis or more frequently if it appears
that the rate of economic consumption has changed.

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal
returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the
lowest cost of capital available to the entity.
Management are constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on
assets. As the market is constantly changing, management may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return
capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Directors have not authorised any Share Capital raising as at
of 30 September 2011.

(i) Fair values
All assets and liabilities recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, whether they are carried at cost or at fair value, are
recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair value.
(ii) Credit risk exposures
The credit risk on financial assets of the Consolidated Entity which have been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position,
other than investments in shares, is generally the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts.
(iii) Foreign currency risk exposure
Exposure to foreign currency risk arises from sales and purchased by an operating unit with the group in currencies other than its
functional currency. Forward contracts are utilised to reduce this exposure. There were no open forward contracts in existence at
year end.
(iv) Interest rate risk exposures
Exposures arise predominantly from assets and liabilities bearing variable interest rates as the Consolidated Entity intends to hold
fixed rate assets and liabilities to maturity. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted
average interest rate by maturity periods is set out in the following table.

The weighted average fair value per option granted during the year was $nil (2010: $nil).

Average share price at grant date ($) $0.12-$0.32 $0.12 - $0.32
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The
expected volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of
options granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.

Shares issued under this plan are considered fully paid ordinary shares with voting and dividend rights. The shares issued under
this plan are restricted and therefore, unquoted, until performance hurdles are met and loan repaid.
On 02 February 2010, LongReach group issued 39,000,000 shares to its employees at a price of $0.03 per share. Due to the non-
recourse nature of the loan, the loan is considered to be an option for accounting purposes and no loan receivable is recognised as
non-recourse loan doesn't satisfy the definition of financial instruments. The shares granted to employees under the plan are
conditional on the performance hurdles and predetermined exercise price. During the financial year shares were consolidated into
smaller number of shares in the ration of ten (10) to one (1).The exercise prices after consolidation of shares is $0.30 at vesting
dates. There were no other issues of fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to Employee Share Plan during the financial period.
In accordance with para 10 and 11 of AASB 2, the Company have recognised the remuneration expense of $nil (2010: $32,383)
associated with the 'in-substance' options issuance to employees under the Plan. The vesting period is 4 years and remuneration
expense will be recognised over this period. Total of 1,075,000 shares vested during the year under this plan.
