withdrawals for the year then ended, in accordance with the accounting convention and the

accounting policies set out in Note 2 and Note 3 of the Notes to the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our

responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for

the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Projectin accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial

statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these

requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate

to provide a basis for our opinion.

Basis of Accounting

We draw attention to Note 2 and Note 3 of the Notes to the financial statements, which

describes the accounting convention and the summary of the significant accounting policies.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting convention and the

accounting policies set out in Note 2 and Note 3 of the Notes to the financial statements and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (Continued)

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Project'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Project or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Chairman are responsible for overseeing the Project's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards onAuditing (ISAs) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

* Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

* Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.

* Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Project'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport.

* Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates, if any, and related disclosures made by management.

We communicate with the Chairman and the Board of Management regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
