conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of International

consideration.
The Company has also proposed to change its name to International Consolidated

2007. This change of name will become effective prior to 12 October 2007.

the AIM rules at the appropriate date of 20th August 2007.
There was a Profit on Ordinary Activities before taxation of #716,703, for the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period ended 30 June 2007
1. Financial Information
The financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts
within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. It has been
prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). The accounting policies applied in preparing the
financial information are consistent with those that have been adopted in the
Company's 2006 statutory accounts.
2. Basis of Preparation
This financial information has been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU),
IFRIC interpretations and the Companies Act 1985 applicable to companies
reporting under IFRS. The financial information has been prepared under
historical cost convention.
The preparation of this financial information in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial information and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best
knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ
from those estimates.
The financial statements are presented in US dollars ($).
3. Earnings per Share
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable
to ordinary shareholders of $716,603 (30 June 2006: $637,091; 31 December 2006:
$(4,768,712)) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue
of 12,418,752 (30 June 2006: 9,759,680; 31 December 2006: 12,432,786). As the
Company has incurred a loss for the period, no options or warrants are
potentially dilutive, and hence basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
4. Called Up Share Capital
The authorised share capital of the Company and the called up and fully paid
amounts at 30 June 2007 follows:
Authorised $
50,000,000 ordinary shares of $0.001 each 50,000
______
Issued and fully paid
12,418,752 ordinary shares of $0.001 each 12,419
______
5. Post Balance Sheet Events
On 13 September 2007, the Company conditionally agreed to acquire the entire
issued share capital of International Consolidated Minerals Limited ('ICM')
through the issue of 30,000,000 ordinary shares at $7.30 per share. 641,308
Warrants were also granted as part of the consideration.
The Company has also proposed to change its name to International Consolidated
Minerals Inc. in its 'Re-admission to trading on AIM' document dated 20 August
2007.
As disclosed in the 'Re-admission to trading on Aim' document dated 20 August
2007, and in a Regulatory News Service (RNS) announcement released to the London
Stock Exchange on 10 September 2007, there is an ongoing litigation claim from
Precious Metal Capital Corporation, Ontario, Canada ('PMCC') which was issued to
certain companies, which include ICM and some of it's subsidiaries.
PLATINUM DIVERSIFIED MINING INC. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Period ended 30 June 2007
The claim seeks:
i. an order that ICM transfer its interest in the Concessions to PMCC;
ii. alternatively, a declaration that the ICM shares issued in exchange
for the Concessions are beneficially owned by PMCC and that they be
registered in the name of PMCC;
iii. a declaration that the Consideration Shares to be issued to pursuant
to the Acquisition Agreement are beneficially owned by PMCC and they be
registered in the name of PMCC;
iv. an interim injunction preventing the defendants to the Claim from
disposing the interest in the Concessions;
v. in the further alternative, damages in the sum of US$200,000,000.
In the opinion of the Board of ICM there is no foundation to these claims and,
having consulted with its Canadian solicitors Blake Cassels & Graydon LLP
('BCG'), instructed BCG to respond to the Claim vigorously on its behalf. To
this effect, BCG issued a letter to PMCC dated 6 September 2007 seeking the
dismissal of the Claim and in the alternative confirming that they will defend
the Claim vigorously and seek a substantial sum for security for costs.
PLATINUM DIVERSIFIED MINING INC. INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT
Period ended 30 June 2007
Introduction
We have been instructed by the Company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2007 which comprises the income statement, the
balance sheet, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement
and the related notes to the accounts and we have read the other information
contained in the interim report and considered whether it contains any apparent
misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial information.
This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the
Company for the purpose of the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange and for no
other purpose. We do not, in producing this report, accept or assume
responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report
is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our
prior consent in writing.
Directors' Responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Directors. The Directors are
responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the AIM Rules of
the London Stock Exchange which require that the accounting policies and
presentation applied to the interim figures should be consistent with those
applied in preparing the annual accounts except where any changes, and the
reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review Work Performed
We conducted our review in accordance with the guidance contained in Bulletin
1999/4; the review of interim financial information issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review consists principally of
making enquiries of management and applying analytical procedures to the
financial information and underlying financial data and, based thereon,
assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been
consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit
procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and
transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and
therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do
not express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review Conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months
ended 30 June 2007.
