RXP SERVICES LIMITED ABN 30 146 959 917
AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RXP SERVICES LIMITED
We have reviewed the accompanying half‐year financial report of RXP Services Limited and controlled entities, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half‐year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the period’s end or from time to time during the half‐year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half‐Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half‐year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half‐year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half‐year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half‐year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2016 and its performance for the half‐year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of RXP Services Limited and controlled entities, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half‐year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half‐year financial report of RXP Services Limited and controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half‐year ended on that date; and
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
