Dear Sirs

Independent Accountant’s Report

1. INTRODUCTION
This Independent Accountant’s Report (“Report”) has been prepared at the request of the Directors of Revenir Limited (Revenir or “the Company”) for inclusion in a Prospectus (“the Prospectus”) to be dated on or about 1 July 2004 relating to the issue of 2,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares (“shares”) at an issue price of $0.60 per share each to raise $1,500,000. The Company may accept oversubscriptions of 1,700,000 fully paid shares at an issue price of $0.60 to raise an additional $1,020,000.

Expressions defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Report.

2. BACKGROUND
Revenir is a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, which has recently sold its main operating business, Aliquot Property Management Pty Ltd.

Revenir has entered into a Share Sale Deed with Bone Limited (“Bone”), under which Revenir is to acquire 80% of the ordinary fully paid shares and 100% of the preference shares in Bone with an option to acquire the remaining 20% of the ordinary shares. In consideration for the acquisition, Revenir will issue the shareholders in Bone fully paid ordinary shares, along with Class A, Class B and Class C preference shares in the capital of Revenir.

Bone was formed in December 2002 in Jersey, with a mission to focus on developing breakthrough treatments for musculo-skeletal degeneration and disease.

3. SCOPE
PKF Corporate Advisory Services (WA) Pty Ltd have been requested to conduct an independent review of the Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir as at 30 April 2004, and the Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir as at 30 April 2004.
The purpose of the Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is to demonstrate the financial effect on the Company assuming that the following transactions and events had taken place on 30 April 2004:

  1. The consolidation of the Company’s existing issued capital on the basis that every 4 fully paid shares in the capital of the Company be consolidated into 1 fully paid ordinary share in the capital of the Company;

  2. The acquisition of 80% of Bone via the issue of 34,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares and 20,000,001 fully paid preference shares. The value assigned to the acquisition of Bone is based on the table below:

Revenir is acquiring 80% of the net assets of Bone. The fair value of 80% of the net assets of Bone at 30 April 2004 was $244,374, resulting in goodwill on the acquisition of Bone of $20,355,626.

The Directors of Bone have developed a cashflow projections model in relation to the commercialisation of Bone’s products. PKF Corporate Advisory Services (WA) Pty Ltd has reviewed the cashflow projections model to determine if the material underlying assumptions are reasonable. PKF Corporate Advisory Services (WA) Pty Ltd has used the cashflow projections model to value Bone based on the Discounted Cash Flows valuation method and it is this valuation that supports the carrying value of goodwill.

  1. The issue of 2,500,000 shares at $0.60 each to raise $1,500,000 assuming no oversubscriptions;

  2. The settlement of capital raising costs incurred by the Company of $240,000 in relation to the Prospectus. These costs are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received in accordance with UIG 23 “Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments”; and

  3. The issue of 1,000,000 options to Bluewater Capital Limited (“Bluewater”).
    The options to be issued by the Company have not been bought to account as an expense.

Our review of the Historical and Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standard AUS 902 “Review of Financial Reports” and was limited to such inquiries and procedures as we, in our professional judgement, considered reasonable in the circumstances including:

  1. A review of work papers, accounting records and other documents prepared by the Company and Bone;

  2. A review of the Directors assumptions used to compile the Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as set out in Note 8 of this Report;

  3. Inquiry of Directors, management and others; and

  4. A review for post balance date events.

Our review was undertaken in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that would indicate that:

  1. The Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir as at 30 April 2004 is not presented fairly in accordance with the measurement requirements, but not the disclosure requirements, of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia; and

  2. The Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 April 2004 is not presented fairly in accordance with the measurement requirements, but not the disclosure requirements, of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, assuming the transactions and events set out in Note 8 of Annexure A had taken place as at 30 April 2004.

These review procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit on the Historical and Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir set out in Annexure A and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Historical and Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir as at 30 April 2004.

4. STATEMENT
4.1 Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir
Based on the scope of our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir as at 30 April 2004 as set out in Annexure A, is not presented fairly in accordance with the measurement requirements, but not the disclosure requirements, of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.

4.2 Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir
Based on the scope of our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Pro-Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Revenir as at 30 April 2004, as set out in Annexure A, is not presented fairly in accordance with the measurement requirements, but not the disclosure requirements, of applicable Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, on the basis and assumption that the transactions and events set out in Note 8 of Annexure A had taken place as at 30 April 2004.

5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
To the best of our knowledge and belief, and based on the work we have performed in relation to the scope of work set out in Section 3 of this Report, there have been no material transactions and events subsequent to 30 April 2004, other than those included in our Report, which would require a comment on or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause the information included in this Report to be misleading.

We have no responsibility to update this Report for events and circumstances occurring after the date of this Report.
