02 EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

“The recently secured Nevada licence 

will provide the Company with 

access to the largest market within 

the Americas, once the necessary 

equipment approvals are received.”

Dear Shareholder, 

I am pleased with the Company’s progress thus far and encouraged to see that the product strategy and licensing initiatives previously 
implemented have enabled AGT to produce a financial turnaround marked by a small profit in the second half of FY10. 

Further  investment  in  product  initiatives  should  ensure  the  Company  continues  to  be  recognised  as  a  supplier  of  premium,  high 
performance gaming products. The  Company has  successfully  established itself as  a  major  supplier  within domestic markets and is 
endeavouring to increase its presence in key international jurisdictions as the current difficult market conditions recover. 

The  A560™  machine  range,  first  launched  in  Macau  and  subsequently  in  New  South Wales  and  Queensland,  has  been  very  well 
received.  I congratulate our people involved in the completion of this innovative machine.  The initial development concept for this 
new gaming machine was commenced in 2007 and has taken 3 ½ years development from initial concept to commercial release.

The  recently  secured  Nevada  licence  will  provide  the  Company  with  access  to  the  largest  market  within  the  Americas,  once  the 
necessary equipment approvals are received.  Continuing investment in gaming licenses, product submissions and the development 
of  additional  hardware  derivatives  leveraging  off  the  new  A560™  product,  provide  the  Company  with  the  opportunity  to  grow 
revenue as we move forward. The Company will continue to reinvest in the business to maintain progress and allow commencement 
of shareholder returns.  

Difficult economic conditions within international markets, primarily North America, have restricted the Company from capitalising 
in the short-term on the significant opportunities available in this very large market.  Conversely domestic revenues have grown 
strongly through the solid performance of the current suite of products offered and this growth is expected to continue.  

I am pleased to have been able to support the Company financially, which has facilitated the timely investment in new markets, 
innovative product strategies and research and development, necessary to compete in an evolving and dynamic market place. 

Under the leadership of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr Danny Gladstone, the Company has in place a highly experienced executive 
team with significant gaming industry expertise, backed by a multi disciplined, skilled and hardworking staff.

I wish to thank the Board, staff and shareholders for their continued support.  I believe the Company is well positioned to achieve 
profitability once international economic conditions improve.

“the recent release of the A560™, 

which is now approved for sale 

in targeted domestic markets, 

will assist in continued revenue 

growth within FY11.”

Dear Shareholder, 

I am pleased to report that the profit of $1.5 million achieved by the Company in the second half of the year ended 30 June 2010 
confirmed the success of the reform strategies implemented over previous periods. 

The full year loss after income tax of $2.7 million is a significant improvement on the corresponding 2009 year loss of $12.5 million. 
I believe AGT is well positioned to continue this turnaround.  

The Company continued its recovery in performance during FY10 and I am particularly pleased with the substantial increase achieved in 
domestic revenues, arising from the successful product development, improved gross margins and cost control measures to minimise 
operating costs.

Sales revenue achieved for FY10 was $69 million, an increase of 53% on the prior period. This increase was primarily due to the success 
of innovative product development strategies and market leading game performance in domestic markets. In international markets 
further diversification and minimisation of fixed overheads limited the impact of the difficult market conditions generally prevailing.   

Domestic revenue contributed 70% of total revenue and resulted in a 110% increase on the prior year. The Australian geographical 
segments contributed $7.7 million in profit compared to a loss of $2.3 million in 2009. All domestic markets increased their revenue 
contributions, with New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland experiencing significant growth. The growth was attributable to a strong 
uplift in sales as a result of the Company’s increased range of innovative product offerings and improved game performance.

I believe the recent release of the A560™, which is now approved for sale in targeted domestic markets, will assist in continued revenue 
growth  within  FY11.   The  next  generation  A560™  cabinet  range  is  the  result  of  the  Company’s  continued  commitment  to  research 
and development and provides leading edge game presentation, features and cabinet configurations. Following its launch at the G2E 
gaming show in Macau, the A560™ was approved for sale in New South Wales and Queensland in July and September, respectively.  
Approvals in other domestic jurisdictions and in selected international jurisdictions with the greatest opportunity for increased revenue 
in the short-term, are expected progressively throughout FY11.

Continuing  investment  in  research  and  development  has  positioned  the  Company  at  the  forefront  of  gaming  product  technology 
and has ensured a pathway for the development of innovative high quality equipment. In addition, improved operating systems and 
streamlined development procedures have reduced regulatory approval timeframes and enabled a faster release to market. 

Improved gross margins of 54% were achieved, due to a range of factors including, increased selling prices, reductions in product and 
overhead costs, efficiencies in the production process and reduced material costs. 

Cost control measures implemented by the Company were successful in reducing operating overhead costs, excluding research and 
development, to 33% of total revenue, down from 46% in the previous period. This reduction assisted the Company to offset the impact 
of the global financial crisis which resulted in lower international revenue.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT (continued)

“The Company is now well positioned to 
achieve improved financial performance 
as we continue to produce and sell to 
world markets, innovative next generation 
game technology, with increased player 
appeal and entertainment value.”

A560™ Launch - Star City Casino, Sydney

Improved working capital and cash management initiatives, including reduction in receivables and inventory holdings, continued to 
be a priority and resulted in net cash inflow from operating activities of $10.6 million compared to a $1.6 outflow in the previous year. 
The  resultant  falls  in  receivables  and  inventory  levels  despite  the  launch  of  the  new  A560™  model  in  July,  assisted  in  achieving  the 
positive turnaround in operating cashflows.

The granting of a Nevada gaming licence was a major achievement for the Company during the year. Since then the Company has 
commenced its initial Nevada product submissions and plans a progressive targeted expansion within the Americas, based on having 
an increased local presence and management structure.  This will enable the Company to capitalise on the revenue opportunities as 
and when market conditions improve.

I would like to thank the Chairman and Directors, the management team, external consultants and staff for their ongoing dedication 
and commitment. 

The Company is now well positioned to achieve improved financial performance as we continue to produce and sell to world markets, 
innovative next generation game technology, with increased player appeal and entertainment value.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

05

“Continued strong 

performance from the 

Double Shot™ standalone 

range of games in 5c and 

1c denominations has 

Ainsworth placed as market 

leaders in this product range.”

National Sales Manager Peter Black at the Australasian Gaming Expo, Sydney

Sales and Service
Domestic Markets:
The  year  2010  saw  a  continuation  of  improved  product  performance  and  in  turn  increased  sales  throughout  all  domestic  markets, 
resulting in revenue growth of 110% distributed across all States.  Contributions to revenue growth during this period included additional 
product diversity and mix, with increased sales personnel coverage.  

While the major markets in NSW and Queensland remain largely static due to uncertainty relating to the Productivity Commission’s 
recommendations, the Company has continued to grow floor space percentage in both States. 

The Players Paradise® linked progressive jackpot system launched at the 2009 Australasian Gaming Expo enhanced mid denomination 
market share providing the Company with a market leading Linked Progressive jackpot package.  Additional new product lines including 
Triple Shot and Super Games created greater product diversity and allowed Ainsworth to gain market share in the low denomination 
market, whilst expanding existing product lines of 50 line games.

Continued strong performance from the Double Shot™ standalone range of games in 5c and 1c denominations has Ainsworth placed 
as market leaders in this product range.  

Throughout the year the increased sales of premium products, specifically Players Paradise® which contributed almost 30% of sales, 
further increased the average selling price and gross revenues.  Initiatives were undertaken during the year with the introduction of 
more flexible purchasing options offered by Ainsworth, specifically related to hardware and software licensing.

The NSW service division again provided strong customer service links with sales by maintaining timely and quality installation of new 
machines and an innovative preventative maintenance program.  The current maintenance contracts cover in excess of 9,000 machines 
in Metropolitan and Regional venues. 

International Markets:
International revenue fell 5% to $21.0 million in the FY10 period as a result of continuing difficult financial conditions, particularly in 
North America. The Company experienced an increase in revenues from the South American market of 41% and a reduction in the North 
America market of 18%. 

Revenues within Europe experienced a reduction of $2.3 million, while revenues from Asian and New Zealand markets were similar to those 
achieved in the prior period. 

The  Company  has  implemented  a  number  of  strategies  in  Europe  and  other  international  markets,  including  the  diversification  of 
distribution channels and minimisation of fixed overheads to limit the impact of the global financial crisis and to explore opportunities 
to increase revenue as they arise

The Company is reviewing opportunities within the South American market to establish new distribution relationships thus increasing 
sales coverage in that region in order to further increase sales revenue.  Potential opportunities relating to the ability to offer machines 
on a participation basis are also being explored. 

The  North  American  market  continues  to  be  impacted  by  the  reduction  in  capital  purchases  by  venues  which  have  restricted 
opportunities for the Company to provide product. 

Another key objective is the pursuit of necessary product approvals following the recent granting of further licences in North America.  
To further provide the opportunity for increased revenue contributions in this key market the Company plans to build on its currently 
established presence by expanding its operations and management structure in the Americas in coming periods.

The Ambassador® SL product continues to perform well. The A560™ will be released in selected North American markets at the upcoming 
G2E trade show in Las Vegas, enabling the Company to provide additional hardware configurations and product offerings in those markets.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW (continued)

”The expanding game 

library has been further 

complemented by the 

in-built flexibility of 

the A560™ hardware 

platform.”

Product Development
The Company continues its commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and quality whilst maintaining a focus on reducing lead 
times to market.

Strategic game library expansion continues across a variety of game categories and denominations.  In excess of 50 games were added 
during FY10 with the emphasis being placed on international markets.

Major achievements were made in domestic markets with new game performance firmly establishing the Company as an industry 
leader. Notably the dominant performing games were Players Paradise® and the Double Shot™ standalone double progressives range.  
These products performed well in excess of floor average in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria contributing over 70% of sales 
volumes.  A key highlight during the year was the launch of the Big Shot Statewide Link progressive in New South Wales in conjunction 
with Max Gaming. 

In international markets Play 50 Line games and the custom designed 4 level link progressive Players Paradise® were leading performers.  
An expanded “World of Jackpots” link progressive strategy will be unveiled at the November G2E in Las Vegas featuring the new wide 
screen A560™ platform. 

The expanding game library has been further complemented by the in-built flexibility of the A560™ hardware platform.  This will allow 
the marketing of games in multiple cabinet configurations and provide players with an enhanced level of choice and entertainment 
value.  Further diversity on the current suite of games is planned for release in the 2011 calendar year.

Research and Development (R&D) / Engineering
The Technical Services Division continues to pursue research and development initiatives which will play an instrumental role in the 
Company’s current and future business plans.

The key objectives achieved during FY10 include approval of the newly developed A560™ High Boy dual screen, A560™ Low Boy single 
screen and the A560™ video topper in NSW and Queensland.

The recent platform approvals received for the new A560™ gaming machine have been a culmination of significant investment over a 
period of three and a half years.  Further A560™ product submissions in domestic and selected international markets are planned over 
FY11, including associated hardware derivatives which will provide additional product choices and entertainment appeal for customers.

The Company’s research and development initiatives are optimised by leveraging off previously proven technology, while the department’s 
extensive experience in gaming design processes ensures the ongoing development of strategic, diverse and innovative gaming platforms.

Processes and procedures on product submissions are regularly monitored and upgraded to facilitate timely approvals by gaming regulators. 

Compliance and Licensing
The Company continues to maintain a high level of regulatory compliance based on recognised Australian and international standards 
and accreditation.  

The  Company  is  approved  to  conduct  business  in  20  US  states  and  three  provinces  in  Canada. The  highlight  for  the  past  year  was 
the approval by the Nevada Gaming Commission of the Company’s manufacturer’s and distributor’s licence. Other major approvals 
were granted by the States of Illinois, Maryland and West Virginia, the Seneca tribe in New York, the Canadian province of Alberta, and 
Singapore.  In total, the Ainsworth Group has 73 tribal licences (compared to 61 as at 30 June 2009) across California, Connecticut, Florida, 
Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon and Wisconsin.

The Company reinforced its commitment to continuing improvement by successfully renewing and extending its accreditation to June 
2013 for its quality management system against the AS/NZ ISO 9001:2008 standard.

“Domestic revenue 

represented $48.2 million of 

total revenue, a 110% increase 

on 2009. All domestic markets 

contributed toward the 

growth experienced.”

Manufacturing
Further reductions in both raw material inventory and assembly times have been achieved through changes in operational flow through 
the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.  This has enabled global sales forecasts to be accurately entered into the Material Resource 
Planning (MRP) module, resulting in accurate purchasing and delivery of components.

With the incorporation of the ERP system into our USA operation during the year, a fully configured machine is now managed for both 
hardware and firmware through a unique, customised program.

The main emphasis for the year was to further streamline assembly processes including the implementation of supply chain management 
strategies for the new A560™ product.  The release of the new product in August 2010 was achieved with no interruptions to the current 
process and material costs were below expectations.

Additional  work  will  take  place  in  this  financial  year  with  the  aim  of  achieving  further  reductions  in  material  costs,  overheads  and 
assembly times by relocating tooling to local vendors.

Finance
As outlined in the enclosed Annual Financial Report, significant financial performance was achieved in the FY10 period.  Despite the loss 
of $2.7 million, the full year included the following highlights:

•	 A	profit	of	$1.5	million	was	achieved	in	the	second	half	compared	to	the	$4.2	million	loss	in	the	first	half	of	FY10;

•	 Revenue	increased	by	53%	to	$69.3	million	for	the	year	ended	30	June	2010;

•	 Gross	margin	achieved	on	sales	revenue	was	54%,	compared	to	48%	in	the	corresponding	period	in	2009;

•	 Operating	expenses	were	$33.1	million	and	represented	48%	of	revenue,	compared	to	73%	of	revenue	in	2009;	and

•	 Operating	cashflows	were	$10.6	million	positive,	compared	to	an	outflow	of	$1.6	million	in	2009.

Included in the FY10 result was $0.5 million in net foreign exchange losses compared to gains of $5.3 million in the corresponding 
period.  Excluding the impact of foreign currency, FY10 resulted in a $15.6 million turnaround on 2009.

Domestic revenue represented $48.2 million of total revenue, a 110% increase on 2009.  All domestic markets contributed toward the 
growth experienced.  The core markets of New South Wales and Queensland represented 85% of the increase achieved.  The recent 
launch of the A560™ product and the success of previous product development strategies can be expected to maintain the current 
performance turnaround and provide sustainable growth in earnings and profitability in the years ahead.

International revenue achieved was $21.0 million compared to $22.2 million for the prior year, a fall of 5%, as a result of the extended 
global financial crisis.  International revenue represented 30% of total revenue for the year compared to 49% in the prior period.

Gross margins continue to increase with a 54% margin being achieved in FY10 compared to 48% in 2009 and 39% in 2008.  This result 
was a combination of higher selling prices, reduced material costs and continued overhead efficiencies in production activities.

Operating costs, excluding cost of sales and financing costs, were $33.1 million compared to $33.0 million in the corresponding period 
in  2009.    Included  in  operating  costs  were  research  and  development  expenditure  of  $10.2  million,  a  decrease  of  $2.2  million  over 
the previous year in 2009.  This investment in product development programs allows the Group to remain at the forefront of product 
innovation in the global gaming market.

The cash inflow from operations for the period under review was $10.6 million compared to an outflow of $1.6 million in the corresponding 
period in 2009.  The Company continues to closely monitor its working capital requirements and has significantly reduced the extent of 
credit offered on sales made in all jurisdictions.  Reduction in receivables and inventory holdings have occurred which have assisted in 
the turnaround and improvement of cashflows from operating activities. 

For further commentary on the results refer to the “Operating and Financial Review” on page 26 of this report.

THE COMPANY’S APPROACH TO 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s Board of Directors and management strongly 
support  the  principles  of  good  corporate  governance  to 
create long-term value for shareholders and maintaining the 
Company’s strong reputation for integrity. This is particularly 
important given the highly regulated nature of the industry 
within  which  the  Company  operates  and  is  essential  for 
securing  new  gaming  licences  and  protection  of  current 
licences. 

The following are the Company’s main corporate governance 
principles  placed  in  the  order  as  set  out  in  the “Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations, 2nd edition” 
which was published by the Australian Securities Exchange 
(ASX)  Corporate  Governance  Council 
in  August  2007. 
Statements to this corporate governance section have been 
referenced  to  the  applicable  ASX  Recommendations  and 
compliance is indicated by .

Principle 1 
Lay solid foundations for 
management and oversight 
Role of the Board
The Board’s primary role is the protection and enhancement of long-
term shareholder value. To fulfill this role, the Board is responsible for 
the overall corporate governance of the Company, including guiding 
its strategic direction, approving and monitoring capital expenditure, 
monitoring  financial  performance,  setting 
remuneration  and 
reviewing the performance of the Chief Executive Officer. The Board 
is  responsible  for  ensuring  appointments,  removals  and  succession 
plans for directors and where necessary, seeking shareholder approval. 
In  addition,  the  Board  is  responsible  for  appointing,  removing  and 
creating succession polices for the Chief Executive Officer and senior 
executives.  The  Board  establishes  and  monitors  the  achievement 
of  management’s  goals,  ensuring  the  integrity  of  internal  control 
and management information systems and approves and monitors 
financial and other business related reporting. 

In his role as Executive Chairman, Mr LH Ainsworth provides input into 
technical  design,  strategic  guidance  and  overview  of  the  Company 
with the responsibility for management of the day to day operations 
delegated to the Chief Executive Officer. Responsibilities are delineated 
by formal authority delegations.

Board Processes
To  assist  in  the  execution  of  its  responsibilities,  the  Board  has 
established three Board Sub-Committees namely the Remuneration 
and  Nomination  Committee,  the  Regulatory  and  Compliance 
Committee and the Audit Committee. Each Committee has a Charter 
which  includes  a  more  detailed  description  of  their  duties  and 
responsibilities. These Charters are regularly reviewed and approved 
by the Board and are available in the Corporate Governance section 
of the Company’s website. The Board has also established a framework 
for the management of the Company including a system of internal 
control, a business risk management process and the establishment of 
appropriate ethical standards.

The Board currently holds monthly scheduled meetings throughout 
the year and any extraordinary meetings at such other times as may be 
necessary to address any specific significant matters that may arise.

The agenda for the Board meetings is prepared in conjunction with 
the Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer 
/ Company Secretary. Standing items include declaration of interests 
or conflicts, the Chief Executive Officer’s report, financial reports and 
any issues relating to strategic matters, governance and compliance 
requirements  of  the  Company.  Board  papers  and  submissions  are 
circulated  in  advance.  Executives  are  regularly  involved  in  Board 
discussions  and  directors  have  the  opportunity  for  contact  with  a 
wider group of employees and other stakeholders.

During the year under review, the Board met ten times and the Board 
members’  attendance  record  is  disclosed  in  the  table  of  directors’ 
meetings on page 19 of this Report.

Performance of Key Executives
The non-executive directors of the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee  review  the  performance  of  the  Company’s  Chief 
Executive  Officer  and  senior  executives  who  directly  report 
to  the  Chief  Executive  Officer.  Their  findings  are  reported  to 
the  Board.  A  performance  management  review  process  is 
undertaken  which  involves  self-assessment  and  review  against 
previously  established  goals  and  objectives  set  by  the  Board. 
The  performance  of  the  Company’s  senior  executives  has  been 
assessed this year in accordance with this process. Key aspects of 
the review process are described below. 

The  Chief  Executive  Officer  annually  presents  a  self-assessment 
to  the  Non-Executive  Directors  of  the  Remuneration  and 
Nomination  Committee,  who  formally  review  the  performance 
of the Chief Executive Officer. The key aspects of the assessment 
include financial performance measures, strategic initiatives, staff 
and  human  relations  indicators  and  compliance  performance. 
The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  reports  on  the 
performance of the Chief Executive Officer to the Board. 

The  Chief  Executive  Officer  evaluates,  at  least  annually,  the 
performance  of  the  following  key  executives:  Chief  Financial 
Officer  /  Company  Secretary,  General  Manager  of  Technical 
Services, General Manager of Manufacturing, Group Compliance 
Manager  and  Division  Sales  Managers.  Both  qualitative  and 
quantitative  measures  are  used  that  vary  according  to  an 
individual’s  role.  Factors  that  are  taken  into  consideration  when 
assessing  performance  include  relative  contributions  to  profit, 
how business is conducted, people leadership and adherence to 
the Company’s Code of Conduct and compliance policies. These 
performance  assessments  are  reviewed  by  the  non-executive 
directors of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee and 
reported to the Board.

Principle 2 
Structure the Board to add value 
Composition of the Board
The names and details of the directors of the Company in office 
at the date of signing the Financial Report are set out on page 19 
of this Report. 

The  composition  of  the  Board  is  evaluated  and  reviewed  to 
ensure  it  provides  a  broad  range  of  skills,  personal  qualities, 
expertise, ability to exercise independent judgment and diversity 
required  to  discharge  its  responsibilities.  Provision  of  such  skills 
and  experience  is  aimed  to  assist  the  Company  to  achieve  its 
objectives  and  continual  development.  The  Remuneration  and 
Nomination Committee assists the Board in regularly evaluating 
the effectiveness, size and composition of the Board. It identifies 
and  evaluates  suitability  qualified  candidates  as  directors  and 
makes recommendations to the Board for consideration.

Structure the Board to add value 
(continued)

Composition of the Board 
(continued)

An objective of the Company is to ensure that the majority of the 
Board  should  comprise  independent,  non-executive  directors 
with no other significant business or other links to the Company. 
An independent director is a director who is not a member of the 
management (i.e. a non-executive director) team and who:

•	 holds	less	than	five	percent	of	the	voting	shares	of	the	Company	
and is not an officer of the Company, or otherwise associated, 
directly or indirectly, with a shareholder of more than five percent 
of the voting shares of the Company;

•	 has	not	within	the	last	three	years	been	employed	in	an	executive	
capacity by the Company or another group member, or has been 
a director after ceasing to hold any 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 group member;

•	

is	not	a	material*	supplier	or	customer	of	the	Company	or	another	
group  member,  or  an  officer  of  the  Company  or  otherwise 
associated,  directly  or  indirectly,  with  a  material*  supplier  or 
customer;

•	 has	 no	 material*	 contractual	 relationship	 with	 the	 Company	
or  another  group  member  other  than  as  a  director  of  the 
Company; 

•	 has	not	served	on	the	Board	for	a	period	which	could,	or	could	
reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s 
ability to act in the best interests 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.

*  the  Board  considers, “material”,  in  this  context  to  be  where  any 
director-related  business  relationship  has  represented,  or  is  likely 
in  future  to  represent  the  lesser  of  at  least  10%  of  the  relevant 
segment’s or the director-related business’s revenue. The Board has 
considered the nature of the relevant industries’ competition and 
the size and nature of each director-related business relationship, 
in arriving at this threshold.

The majority of the Board comprises independent non executive 
directors  with  the  roles  of  the  Chairperson  and  Chief  Executive 
Officer not being exercised by the same individual. Each director 
has  the  right  of  access  to  all  Company  information  and  to  the 
Company’s  executives.  Further,  subject  to  informing  the  Board,  a 
director may seek independent professional advice from a suitably 
qualified adviser at the Company’s expense. A copy of the advice 
received by the director is made available to all other members of 
the Board.

The Company has a formal process to educate new directors about 
the  nature  of  the  business,  current  issues,  the  corporate  strategy 
and  the  expectations  of  the  Company  concerning  performance 
of  directors.  Directors  also  have  the  opportunity  to  meet  with 
management  to  gain  a  better  understanding  of  business 
operations.  Directors  are  able  to  access  continuing  education 
opportunities to update and enhance their skills and knowledge.

performance of the Board, its committees and individual directors. 
The  performance  of  the  Board  is  currently  under  assessment  in 
accordance with the process described below.

The  process  for  conducting  the  Board’s  performance  review 
consists  of  individual  interviews  with  each  director.  The  review 
includes  an  assessment  of  the  individual  contribution  of  each 
Board  member  as  well  as  the  performance  of  the  Board  as  a 
whole. The performance criteria that is taken into account include 
each director’s contribution to setting the direction, strategy and 
financial objectives of the group and monitoring compliance with 
regulatory  requirements  and  ethical  standards.  A  written  report 
discussing the results, issues for discussion and recommendations 
is to be presented to the Board and discussed at a Board Meeting. 
Each of the Board Committees undertakes a periodic review of their 
performance in accordance with their Charters. The results of these 
reviews are then presented and discussed at a Board meeting.

Due to the highly regulated nature of the gaming industry within 
which  the  Company  operates,  the  securing  of  new  gaming 
licences  and  protection  of  current  licences  is  an  on-going 
process  which  is  of  great  importance  to  the  Company.  The 
Regulatory  and  Compliance  Committee  Charter,  which 
is 
reviewed regularly and has been approved by the Board, outlines 
responsibilities  to  monitor,  review,  advise  and  assist  the  Board 
to  ensure  all  compliance  related  matters  and  procedures  have 
been  established  and  are  operating  effectively.  The  Charter  is 
available on the website of the Company. A majority of members 
are independent, including two non-executive directors and the 
chairman is not the Chairman of the Board.

The  Regulatory  and  Compliance  Committee  monitors  probity 
related  matters,  technical  compliance  issues  and  compliance 
conduct  and  issues,  systems  and  procedural  requirements  to 
ensure that the Company maintains a high standard of compliance 
with  all  of  its  gaming  regulatory  and  licence  obligations.  In 
addition,  the  Regulatory  and  Compliance  Committee  advises 
and makes recommendations to the Board regarding regulatory 
compliance  matters,  including  the  suitability  of  key  employees 
and  other  persons  or  entities  with  whom  the  Company  has  or 
intends to have an association or affiliation, in line with gaming 
regulations.

The Group Compliance Manager and the Technical Compliance 
Manager  are 
invited  to  the  Regulatory  and  Compliance 
Committee  meetings  to  present  and  discuss  their  reports  and 
recommendations. The  Regulatory  and  Compliance  Committee 
met  five  times  during  the  year  and  the  directors’  attendance 
record  is  disclosed  in  the  table  of  directors’  meetings  on  page 
19  of  this  Report.  Due  to  the  importance  of  the  regulatory 
environment within which the Company operates, and to ensure 
the  commitment  by  the  Board  within  this  important  area,  the 
Committee is scheduled to meet at least four times each financial 
year and as required to address any specific issues that may arise. 

The  main  responsibilities  of  the  Regulatory  and  Compliance 
Committee are to:

•	 oversees	activities	of	the	compliance,	licencing	and	technical	

compliance functions;

•	 regularly	 review	 the	 application	 of	 compliance	 to	 ensure	 that	
the Company meets all requirements outlined in its Compliance 
Policy;

•	 deal	 with	 and	 investigate	 any	 breaches,	 complaints	 and	

derogatory information of which it becomes aware;

•	 provide	 assistance	 and	 advice	 to	 the	 Board	 on	 matters	
pertaining  to  the  Company’s  continuing  suitability  to  obtain 
and maintain gaming licences;

independent  professional  advice,  at  the  Company’s  expense, 
in  carrying  out  these  duties,  subject  to  informing  the  Board. 
The  Committee  has  the  authority  to  conduct  any  investigation 
appropriate  to  fulfilling  its  responsibilities  and  is  provided  with 
the right to direct access to any person within the Company.

2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6

Non-compliance  to  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s 
Recommendations is as below:

Principle 2.2 

The chair 
should be an 
independent 
director

Given  that  the  Chairman,  Mr  LH  Ainsworth, 
is  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the  Company, 
he  is  not  considered  to  be  an  independent 
director.  The  Board  intends  to  consider  the 
succession  of  the  Chairperson  when  trading 
performance  of  the  Company  is  improved. 
Mr  SL  Wallis  AO  has  been  appointed  as  the 
lead independent director to ensure that any 
conflicts which may arise are dealt with in line 
with  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Principles 
and Recommendations.

Principle 3 
Promote ethical and responsible 
decision-making
Ethical Standards
All directors, managers and employees are expected to act with 
complete integrity and objectivity in all their activities related to 
the Company, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and 
performance of the Company. Every employee has a nominated 
supervisor  to  whom  they  may  refer  any  issues  or  complaints 
arising  from  their  employment.  To  further  promote  a  culture 
within the Company where ethical standards are maintained in 
accordance with Company policy, the Company has established 
a “Whistleblower” Policy which ensures protection of individuals 
reporting any incidents of misconduct or unethical behaviour.

Conflict of Interest
Directors  must  keep  the  Board  advised,  on  an  on-going  basis, 
of  any  interest  that  could  potentially  conflict  with  those  of  the 
Company. The  Board  has  developed  procedures  to  ensure  that 
directors disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Where the Board believes that a significant conflict exists for a director 
on a Board matter, the director concerned does not participate in any 
discussion  and  voting  on  the  applicable  matter  and,  if  considered 
appropriate,  the  director  is  requested  not  to  be  present  whilst  the 
matter is considered. Details of director related transactions with the 
Company are set out in Note 33 in the financial statements.

Code of Conduct
The Company has established a Code of Conduct that embraces 
high standards of personal and corporate conduct. Each director, 
manager and employee has been advised that they must comply 
with this Code. The full Code may be viewed on the Company’s 
website and it requires all directors and officers to:
•	 conduct	all	dealings	with	internal	and	external	stakeholders	in	

a truthful, honest and trustworthy manner;

•	 value	and	maintain	professionalism;
•	 treat	 all	 persons	 with	 whom	 they	 interact,	 with	 respect	 and	

dignity;

•	 respect	the	rights	of	individuals;
•	 act	towards	others	without	discrimination;
•	 comply	with	the	Company’s	internal	policies	and	procedures;
•	 report	unethical	behaviour	or	wrongdoing;
•	 use	authority	in	a	fair	and	unbiased	way;	
•	 comply	 with	 all	 applicable	 laws,	 regulations	 and	 licensing	

conditions; and 

•	 not	knowingly	make	a	misleading	statement.

A copy of the Code of Conduct is made available to all staff. The 
Code is reviewed regularly by the Board and processes are in place 
to communicate any amendments to the Code to all staff. New 
employees  are  issued  with  an  employee  handbook  containing 
the Code of Conduct and prior to commencing their respective 
employment, they are required to certify that they have read and 
understood the requirements contained within it. The Company 
has established procedures to monitor compliance with the Code 
of Conduct. 

In addition to the Code of Conduct and the Whistleblower policy, 
the Company also has policies which govern: 
•	 Occupational	Health	and	Safety;
•	 Dealing	in	Company’s	securities;	and	
•	 Equal	Employment	Opportunity.

All employees are required to complete the harassment, discrimination 
and compliance training conducted by the Company.

procedures  that  must  be  carried  out  before  any  director  or 
employee can deal in securities of the Company. The Company 
has in place internal mechanisms to review compliance with the 
policy.

Principle 7 
Recognise and manage risk 
Oversight of the risk management system
The Board oversees the establishment, implementation and annual 
review of the Company’s risk management system. Management 
has established and implemented the risk management system 
for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing operational, 
financial  reporting,  and  compliance  risks  for  the  Company. The 
Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer / Company 
Secretary have declared, in writing to the Board, that the financial 
reporting  risk  management  and  associated  compliance  and 
controls have been assessed and found to be operating efficiently 
and effectively. All risk assessments covered the whole financial 
year  and  the  period  up  to  the  signing  of  the  annual  financial 
report  for  all  material  operations  in  the  Company  and  material 
associates.

Risk profile and the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee reports to the Board on the status of risks 
through  integrated  risk  management  processes  and  programs 
aimed  at  ensuring  that  risks  are 
identified,  assessed  and 
appropriately managed.

Principle 7 
Recognise and manage risk 
(continued)

Risk profile and the Audit Committee
(continued)

Each  business  operational  unit  is  responsible  and  accountable  for 
implementing  and  managing  the  standards  required  by  the  risk 
management system.

The major risks that the Company faces are allocated to individual 
executives and are reviewed to determine progress and to provide 
updates as to the individual status and to ensure the identification 
of any further risks. 

Risk management and compliance and control
The  Company  has  implemented  a  compliance  program  which 
complies with the Australian Standard for Compliance Programs 
AS 3806. This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia 
Committee following a request by the Australian Competition and 
Consumer Commission and details the essential elements of an 
effective compliance program. The Standard provides principles 
for  the  development,  implementation  and  maintenance  of  an 
effective compliance program, whilst emphasising the need for 
continuous improvement. The use of these principles will enable 
the Company to identify risks and to develop processes to ensure 
compliance with relevant laws and regulations, including gaming 
regulatory and licence obligations.

The  Company  was  initially  accredited  in  2007  and  following  a 
re-certification  audit  of  the  Company’s  quality  management 
system 
in  June  2010,  this  accreditation  was  renewed  for 
a  further  three  year  period.  This  accreditation  confirmed 
the  Company’s  compliance  with  the  AS/NZ  ISO  9001:2008 
standard  Quality  Management  Systems-Requirements,  published 
by  the 
International  Organisation  for  Standardisation  (ISO). 
Further  to  receiving  the  above  accreditations,  the  Company 
has  demonstrated  its  ongoing  commitment  to  continuous 
improvement by successfully maintaining its quality accreditation 
through  regular  independent  surveillance  audits  of  its  quality 
management system during the year.

In addition to the above, the Company continually reviews internal 
controls  and  operating  procedures,  to  enable  compliance  with 
Gaming Machine National Standards and the Company’s Control 
System Manual. 

To ensure that these standards are maintained, there are a number of 
internal reporting measures including monthly Compliance Reports 
from all department managers and  monthly Continuous Disclosure 
Reports  from  all  senior  executives. The  Regulatory  and  Compliance 
Committee receives details from the above reports and reviews the 
Company’s reporting and processes on all these matters. 

The Board is responsible for the overall internal control framework, 
but  recognises  that  no  cost  effective  internal  control  system  will 
preclude all errors and irregularities. The Board’s policy on internal 
control  is  continually  under  review  to  ensure  it  keeps  pace  with 
internal and external changes. The Board oversees the Company’s 
internal compliance and control systems, including:

Operating unit controls - Operating units confirm compliance 
with  financial  controls  and  procedures,  including  information 
systems controls detailed in procedures manuals;

Functional specialty reporting  -  Key  areas  subject  to  regular 
reporting  to  the  Board  include Treasury  and  Risk  Management, 
Environmental, Legal and Insurance matters; and

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Investment appraisal - Guidelines for capital expenditure include 
annual budgets, detailed appraisal and review procedures, levels 
of  authority  and  due  diligence  requirements  where  businesses 
are being acquired or divested.

Comprehensive practices have been established to ensure:

•	 capital	expenditure	and	revenue	commitments	above	a	certain	

size, obtain prior Board approval;

•	 occupational	 health	 and	 safety	 standards	 and	 management	
systems are monitored and reviewed to achieve high standards 
of performance and compliance with regulations;

•	 business	transactions	are	properly	authorised	and	executed;

•	 the	quality	and	integrity	of	personnel	is	maintained	(see	below);

•	 financial	reporting	accuracy	and	compliance	with	the	financial	

reporting regulatory framework (see below); and

•	 environmental	regulation	compliance	(see	below).

Quality and integrity of personnel
Written  confirmation  of  compliance  with  policies  of  the 
Company is obtained from all operating units. Formal appraisals 
are  conducted  at  least  annually  for  all  employees. Training  and 
development  and  appropriate  remuneration  and  incentives 
with regular performance reviews create an environment of co-
operation and constructive dialogue with employees and senior 
management.  A  formal  succession  plan  has  been  established 
to  ensure  competent  and  knowledgeable  employees  fill  senior 
positions, as and when retirements or resignations occur.

Financial reporting
The  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  / 
Company  Secretary  have  declared,  in  writing  to  the  Board,  that 
the Company’s financial reports are founded on a sound system 
of  risk  management  and  internal  compliance  and  control. 
Monthly  actual  results  are  reported  against  budgets  approved 
by  the  directors  and  revised  forecasts  for  the  year  are  prepared 
regularly. 

Environmental regulation
The  Company’s  operations  are  not  subject  to  significant 
environmental regulations under either Commonwealth or State 
legislation. The  Board  believes  that  the  Company  has  adequate 
systems  in  place  for  the  management  of  its  environmental 
requirements  and  is  not  aware  of  any  breaches  of  those 
environmental requirements as they apply to the Company.

Assessment of effectiveness of risk management

Internal audit
To  further  assist  the  Board  in  ensuring  compliance  with  these 
internal controls and risk management programs, the Company 
allocated  the  responsibilities  of  the  Internal  Audit  function  to  a 
key  employee  within  the  Company’s  compliance  department. 
This role is to oversee and regularly review the effectiveness of the 
abovementioned compliance and control systems and conduct 
regular audits against the International and Australian Standards 
as well as against all operating policies and procedures. The Audit 
Committee is responsible for approving the internal audit plan to 
be undertaken during the year and for the scope of the work to 
be performed.

and the chairman of the Committee is not the Chairman of the 
Board.

The  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Human  Resources/Payroll 
Manager are invited to attend the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee  meetings,  as  required,  to  discuss  senior  executives’ 
performance  and  remuneration  packages.  The  Chief  Executive 
Officer and Chief Financial Officer / Company Secretary are not 
involved in matters pertaining to their own remuneration. During 
the year under review, the Committee met three times and the 
directors’ attendance record is disclosed in the table of directors’ 
meetings on page 19 of this Report. 

The  main  responsibilities  of  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination 
Committee are to:

responsibilities are outlined in its Charter, which is available on the 
Company’s website. The policy and procedure for appointment of 
directors also forms a part of the Committee’s Charter. 

17

Remuneration Report
The  Remuneration  Report  is  set  out  on  pages  20  to  25  of  this 
Report. 

Remuneration policies
Remuneration  levels  for  key  personnel  of  the  Company  are 
competitively  set  to  attract  and  retain  appropriately  qualified 
and  experienced  executives  and  directors.  The  Remuneration 
and  Nomination  Committee  obtains  independent  advice  on 
the  appropriateness  of  remuneration  packages,  given  trends  in 
comparative companies both locally and internationally. 

The  remuneration  structures  explained  below  are  designed  to 
attract  suitably  qualified  candidates,  reward  the  achievement 
of  strategic  objectives  and  achieve  the  broader  outcome  of 
creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration structures 
take into account:

•	 the	capability	and	experience	of	key	management	personnel;	

•	 management	 performance	 against	 key	 performance	 indicators	
the  Company’s 

individual  contributions 

to 

(KPIs)  and 
performance; 

•	 the	Company’s	performance	includes;	

-  revenue and earnings; and 
-  growth  in  share  price  and  delivering  increased  returns  to 
  shareholders. 

Remuneration  packages  include  a  mix  of  fixed  and  variable 
remuneration and short-term and long-term performance-based 
incentives. In addition to salaries, the Company also provides non-
cash benefits to its key management personnel and contributes 
to defined contribution superannuation plans on their behalf. 

Senior executives may receive bonuses based on the achievement 
of  specific  performance  hurdles.  The  performance  hurdles  are 
a  blend  of  the  Company’s  and  each  relevant  segment’s  result. 
In the year under review, no incentive payments were made as 
Company  performance  did  not  reach  the  minimum  threshold 
levels. The Company does not have any profit-share plan.

Total  remuneration  for  all  non-executive  directors,  last  voted 
upon  by  shareholders  is  not  to  exceed  $500,000  per  annum. 
The  base  fee  for  individual  non-executive  directors  for  the 
financial  year  under  review  was  $70,000  per  annum,  excluding 
superannuation and covers all main Board activities. Membership 
of  Committees  is  remunerated  in  addition  to  the  base  fee  as 
outlined in the Remuneration Report on page 21 of this Report. 
Non-executive directors do not receive any performance related 
remuneration  or  bonuses  or  retirement  benefits  other  than 
statutory superannuation payments.

20 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

For the year ended 30 June 2010

4. Remuneration report

4.1 Principles of compensation - audited 
Remuneration is referred to as compensation throughout this report.

Key  management  personnel  have  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the  activities  of  the  Company 
and the Group, including directors of the Company and other executives. Key management personnel comprise the directors of the 
Company and executives for the Company and the Group including the five most highly remunerated Company and Group executives.

Compensation levels for key management personnel and secretaries of the Company, and key management personnel of the Group 
are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. The Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee reviews market surveys on the appropriateness of compensation packages of both the Company and the Group 
given trends in comparative companies both locally and internationally and the objectives of the Company’s compensation strategy.

The compensation structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic 
objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The compensation structures take into account:

•	 the	capability	and	experience	of	the	key	management	personnel;	
•	 the	key	management	personnel’s	performance	against	key	performance	indicators	(KPI’s)	and	individual	contributions	to	the	Group’s	

performance;

•	 the	Group’s	performance	includes:	

- revenue and earnings; and
- growth in share price and delivering returns on shareholder wealth.

Compensation packages include a mix of fixed and variable compensation and short-term and long-term performance-based incentives.

In  addition  to  their  salaries,  the  Group  also  provides  non-cash  benefits  to  its  key  management  personnel,  and  contributes  to  post-
employment defined contribution superannuation plans on their behalf.

Fixed compensation
Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to 
employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.

Compensation  levels  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  through  a  process  that  considers 
individual, segment and overall performance of the Group. In addition market surveys are obtained to provide further analysis so as to 
ensure the directors’ and senior executives’ compensation is competitive in the market place. A senior executive’s compensation is also 
reviewed on promotion.

Performance-linked compensation
Performance  linked  compensation  includes  both  short-term  and  long-term  incentives  and  is  designed  to  reward  key  management 
personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term incentive (STI) is an ‘at risk’ bonus provided in 
the form of cash, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as options over ordinary shares of the Company under the rules of the 
Employee Share Option Plan (see note 24 to financial statements).

In  addition  to  their  salaries,  selected  key  sales  management  personnel  receive  commission  on  sales  within  their  specific  business 
segments as part of their service contracts.

Short-term incentive bonus 
Each year the Remuneration and Nomination Committee sets the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the key management personnel. 
The  KPIs  generally  include  measures  relating  to  the  Group,  the  relevant  segment,  and  the  individual,  and  include  financial,  people, 
customer, strategy and risk measures. The measures are chosen as they directly align the individual’s reward to the KPIs of the Group 
and to its strategy and performance. 

The financial performance objective is ‘profit after tax’ compared to budgeted amounts which is designed to reward key management 
personnel for the Group’s performance and not simply the achievement of individual segment results. The non-financial objectives vary 
with position and responsibility and include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes, safety and environmental performance, 
customer satisfaction and staff development. 

At the end of the financial year the Remuneration and Nomination Committee assess the actual performance of the Group, the relevant 
segment and individual against the KPI’s set at the beginning of the financial year. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee recommends the cash incentive to be paid to the individuals for approval by the board. 
The method of assessment was chosen as it provides the Committee with an objective assessment of the individual’s performance.

Long-term incentive
Options  are  issued  under  the  Employee  Share  Option  Plan  (ESOP)  (made  in  accordance  with  thresholds  set  in  plans  approved  by 
shareholders at the 2001 Annual General Meeting (AGM)) and it provides for key management personnel to receive options over ordinary 
shares for no consideration. The ability to exercise the options is conditional on the Group achieving certain performance hurdles. 

Performance hurdles are based on share price growth and are only exercisable once the Company’s share price achieves levels ranging 
from	100	–	300%	of	the	exercise	price	established	when	the	share	options	are	granted.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

 
 
21

In assessing whether the performance hurdles have been met, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee receives independent 
data  from  the  Australian  Securities  Exchange  (ASX)  which  provides  information  required  to  assess  Volume  Weighted  Average  Price 
(VWAP).

Short-term and long-term incentive structure
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee considers that the above performance-linked remuneration structure is appropriate because 
the key management personnel have the ability to reach a level of performance which qualifies them for the maximum bonus and options. 

In the current year the Group did not reach its targets and has resulted in no short-term incentives being recommended for payment. 

Other benefits 
Key management personnel can receive additional benefits such as non-monetary benefits, as part of the terms and conditions of their 
appointment. Non-cash benefits typically include payment of club memberships and motor vehicles. The Company pays fringe benefits 
tax on these benefits.

Service contracts
It is the Group’s policy that service contracts for key management personnel are unlimited in term but capable of termination by either 
party on 3 months notice and that the Group retains the right to terminate the contracts immediately, by making payment equal to 3 
months pay in lieu of notice.

The Group has entered into service contracts with each key management person that provide for the payment of benefits where the 
contract is terminated by the Group. The key management persons are also entitled to receive on termination of employment their 
statutory entitlements of accrued annual and long service leave, together with any superannuation benefits.

The service contract outlines the components of remuneration paid to the key management personnel but does not prescribe how 
remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account cost-of-living changes, 
any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive, retention of key personnel and any changes required to meet 
the principles of the remuneration policy.

Mr Danny Gladstone, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), has a contract of employment dated 5 February 2007 with the 
Company. The contract specifies the duties and obligations to be fulfilled by the CEO and provides that the board and CEO will early in 
each financial year, consult and agree objectives for achievement during that year.

The CEO has no entitlement to termination payment in the event of removal for misconduct as specified in his service contract.

Refer to note 28 of the financial statements for details on the financial impact in future periods resulting from the Group’s commitments 
arising from non-cancellable contracts for services with key management personnel.

Non-executive directors
The fees paid to non-executive directors reflect the demands and responsibilities associated with their roles and the global nature of 
the operations within the highly regulated environment within which the Company operates. Fees incorporate an allowance for the 
onerous probity requirements placed on non-executive directors by regulators of the global jurisdictions in which the Company is or 
proposes to operate in.

The Company’s non-executive directors only receive fees, including superannuation, for their services as compensation. In addition to 
these fees the cost of reasonable expenses which are reimbursed as incurred.

Non-executive directors do not currently receive or participate in any performance related remuneration. The level of fees paid to non-
executive directors has been established based on the demands and responsibilities of their positions and have been set with reference 
to fees paid to other non-executive directors of comparable companies.

Current fees for directors effective 1 July 2006, excluding superannuation, are set out below. The Executive Chairman and CEO do not 
receive any additional fees for undertaking Board or Committee responsibilities. Other non-executive directors who also chair or are a 
member of a committee receive a supplementary fee in addition to their annual remuneration.

Notes in relation to the table of directors’ and executive officers’ remuneration - audited
A.  The short-term incentive bonus is for performance during the 30 June 2010 financial year using the criteria set out on page 20. The amount 
was considered on 17 June 2010 by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee who recommended that no bonuses be paid for the 
current period, subject to a complete review which is scheduled for September 2010.

B.  The fair value of the options is calculated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes and binomial lattice option-pricing models and 
allocated to each reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed is the portion of the fair value 
of the options allocated to this reporting period. In valuing the options, market conditions have been taken into account.

The following factors and assumptions were used in determining the fair value of options on grant date:

performance criteria not being achieved.

B.  The minimum value of options yet to vest is $Nil as the performance criteria may not be met and consequently the option may not vest.

C.  The maximum value of options yet to vest is not determinable as it depends on the market price of shares of the Company on the 
ASX at the date the option is exercised. The share price of the Company at 30 June 2010 was $0.09. This compares to an exercise price 
of $0.50 in respect of the share options.

26 DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 

For the year ended 30 June 2010

5. Principal activities
The principal activity of the Group during the course of the financial year was the design, development, production, sale and servicing 
of gaming machines and other related equipment and services.

There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group during the year.

Objectives
The Group’s objectives are to:
•	 maintain	 strong	 operational	 focus	 on	 geographical	 markets	 which	 are	 expected	 to	 achieve	 positive	 contributions	 to	 the	 Group’s	

financial results;

•	 manage	and	further	reduce	levels	of	investment	in	working	capital	and	continue	to	achieve	positive	cash	flow	from	operations	in	the	

ensuing financial year;

•	 continue	investment	in	research	and	development;
•	 provide	a	positive	return	on	equity	through	profitability	and	share	price	growth;
•	 secure	 new	 gaming	 jurisdictional	 licences	 through	 selective	 entry	 into	 new	 international	 markets	 via	 distributors	 or	 direct	 sales	

channels; and

•	 provide	quality	market	leading	products	that	are	innovative	and	entertaining	providing	increased	player	satisfaction	and	therefore	

greater venue profitability.

In order to meet these objectives the following action priorities will continue to apply in future financial years:
•	 grow	market	share	for	existing	business	and	increase	revenue	and	operating	activities,	particularly	in	the	North	American	market;
•	 further	reduce	product	and	overhead	costs	through	improved	efficiencies	in	supply	chain	and	inventory	management;
•	 continue	to	improve	management	of	working	capital;
•	 to	 maintain	 best	 practice	 compliance	 policies	 and	 procedures	 and	 increase	 stakeholder	 awareness	 of	 the	 Group’s	 regulatory	

environment; and

•	 ensure	retention	and	development	of	key	employees.

6. Operating and financial review
Overview of the Group
The loss after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2010 was $2.7 million compared to a loss in the corresponding 2009 year of $12.5 
million. The above loss resulted in a second half profit of $1.5 million compared to the previously reported loss of $4.2 million for the six 
month period ended 31 December 2009.

Sales revenue achieved was $69.3 million compared to $45.2 million in the corresponding period in 2009, an increase of 53%, primarily 
due  to  further  improvements  in  product  performance  in  domestic  markets  in  the  current  period.  Further  diversification  and  less 
reliance on a relatively small number of international markets has minimised the impact of difficult market conditions presently being 
encountered. 

Domestic revenue was $48.2 million, an increase of 110% on the corresponding period in 2009. This increase is attributed to an increased 
range  of  innovative  product  offerings  and  sustainable  high  product  performance  in  the  period  under  review  resulting  from  the  re-
enforcement and expansion of changes in product development strategies undertaken. Domestic revenue in the period under review 
represented 70% of total revenue, compared to 51% in the previous corresponding period.

Continued investment and focus within the Americas, primarily within North American, including progression of the necessary product 
approval in the Nevada market should ensure progressive revenue growth once the impact of global economic conditions improve. 
Revenue from the Americas was $18.2 million, an increase of 7% on the previous year in 2009. Revenue within Europe was minimal in the 
current period compared to $2.4 million in 2009 due to continued financial uncertainties due to global financial conditions.

Investments for future performance
Increased investment during the current period in licensing and research and development will enable the Group to be at the forefront 
of technology in gaming related products. The global product development strategy previously introduced has ensured an extensive 
product range is available to targeted markets. Operating system upgrades and the streamlining of product development procedures 
have reduced lead times to market, including the time for regulatory approvals.

The regulatory nature of the gaming industry results in significant delays between securing a jurisdictional licence and obtaining the 
necessary game approvals before sales can be made to that jurisdiction. The Company continues to pursue product development in 
all jurisdictions where licences have been secured and is progressively obtaining product approvals to enable commercial realisation of 
additional revenue opportunities.

Significant compliance related costs are an inherent part of the supply of equipment to the gaming industry which assists in maintaining 
a high standard of integrity within the industry. The Company continues to invest in the future and through its licensing strategy has 
expanded its reach into North America. The North America market remains a key focus for the Company’s compliance and licensing 
strategic  plan.  The  Company  continues  to  maintain  a  high  level  of  regulatory  compliance  based  on  recognised  Australian  and 
International standards and accreditation. The Company reinforced its commitment regarding continuous improvement by successfully 
renewing and extending its accreditation to June 2013 for its quality management system against the AS/NZ ISO 9001:2008 standard.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

27

The  Company  has  consolidated  its  licensing  strategy  targeting  incremental  tribal  applications  in  the  US  particularly  focusing  on 
developing medium to long term commercial relationships as well as emerging global markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas. As 
at 30 June 2010, the Company renewed 50 licences and is approved to conduct business in 20 US states, three (3) provinces in Canada 
and in Singapore. As previously announced the Company was granted a licence in November 2009 to distribute its range of products, 
once approvals are received within Nevada. Other major approvals were granted by the states of Illinois, Maryland and West Virginia, 
the Seneca tribe in New York, the Canadian province in Alberta and Singapore. In addition, the states of Indiana and Michigan granted 
permanent licences to replace the temporary licences that were previously issued. The Group has 71 tribal licences (compared to 61 at 
the same period last year) across California, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, 
Oregon and Wisconsin.

The Company continues to follow a licensing strategy to gain further state and tribal licenses in North America and additional Canadian 
provinces. This strategy targets jurisdictions where the necessary product approvals are either transferrable or can be readily adapted.

Review of financial conditions
Capital structure and treasury policy
The Company currently has on issue 278,942,304 ordinary shares and 19,714,717 convertible notes. In December 2008 the Company 
received the necessary approval from security holders to extend the maturity date of the convertible notes from 31 December 2009 to 
either 31 December 2011 or 2014. Mr LH Ainsworth and his spouse (including entities they control) who collectively own 62% of the 
notes on issue at the time of seeking approval agreed to extend the maturity of their convertible notes until 31 December 2014. All 
registered noteholders are given a right to extend their notes for the same period should they elect to do so.

The Company has the right to redeem all convertible notes that are extended, including those held by Mr LH Ainsworth and his spouse 
on 31 December 2011 or at the end of every six months until the maturity date of 31 December 2014. The interest rate payable on the 
convertible notes has been varied from 8% per annum to 10% per annum with effect from 1 January 2010.

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risks on sales and purchases that are denominated in currencies other than AUD. The Group 
continually monitors and reviews the financial impact of currency variations and should facilities be available looks at establishing call 
options to minimise the volatility of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. No call options were placed in the current period due 
to the expectation of a reduction in the Group’s net asset exposure and the favourable reversal of previous translational impacts.

Liquidity and funding
The Company currently has a loan facility in place of $40 million with an entity controlled by the Executive Chairman, Mr LH Ainsworth, 
of which $26 million is unutilised at the reporting date. The maturity date of this facility was formally amended to a date that is 4 years 
from the will of Mr LH Ainsworth coming into effect and does not call for repayment of interest accrued until this maturity date.

In addition to the above an additional $6 million trade finance facility has been established with an entity controlled by the Executive 
Chairman, Mr LH Ainsworth of which $1.0 million is unutilised at the reporting date.

Cash flows from operations
The cash inflow from operations for the period under review was $10.6 million compared to an outflow of $1.6 million in the corresponding 
period in 2009. The Group continues to monitor closely its working capital requirements and has significantly reduced the extent of 
credit offered on sales made in all jurisdictions.

Continued efforts to reduce the Group’s investment in working capital have been made during the current period under review. Reduction 
in receivables and inventory holdings have occurred which have assisted in the turnaround and improvement of cashflows from operating 
activities.

Impact of legislation and other external requirements
The Group continues to work with regulatory authorities to ensure that the necessary licences to support its operations within Australia 
and overseas are granted on a timely and cost effective basis. The granting of such licences will allow the Group to expand its operations 
into new international markets.

Market  conditions  within  Australia  presented  opportunities  during  the  year  under  review  as  previously  introduced  legislative  and 
regulatory changes have become established. These changes specifically in relation to smoking legislation and increased government 
taxes were progressively offset by the Group’s innovative product development and the implementation of new strategies.

Review of principal businesses 
Revenue
Sales revenue of $69.3 million was recorded in the period under review compared to $45.2 million in the corresponding period in 2009, an 
increase of 53%. Within domestic markets revenue achieved was $48.2 million, an increase of 110% over the corresponding period in 2009. 
The increased revenue within Australia was primarily due to the product development strategies previously introduced providing improved 
game performance.

Within New South Wales positive signs of recovery emerged in the period following the previously introduced legislative and regulatory 
changes, resulting in increased revenue of 118 % compared to the corresponding period in 2009. Further growth due to development 
investment  within  the  Victorian  market  resulted  in  revenue  of  $6.4  million,  an  increase  of  59%  over  the  previous  year.  This  market 
represented 13% of total domestic revenue in the period, however recent licensing changes which impact the two major operators 
continue to create uncertainties. Continued growth within Queensland followed product initiatives introduced during the financial year. 
This market achieved a 106% increase in revenue compared to the previous corresponding period in 2009.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 
For the year ended 30 June 2010

6. Operating and financial review (continued)
Review of principal businesses (continued)

Revenue (continued)
International revenue represented 30% of total revenue for the period compared to 49% in the prior period in 2009. Total international 
revenue fell by 5% to $21.0 million in the period. The fall in international revenue was attributable to minimal revenue within Europe 
which fell by $2.3 million in the current period compared to the prior period in 2009. Excluding Europe international revenue increased 
by  6%  on  2009.  The  revised  distribution  arrangements  previously  initiated  within  Europe,  have  assisted  in  minimising  the  adverse 
impacts of legislative changes and global financial uncertainties.

The Group continues to explore the strategic game content licensing agreement entered into with Bally Gaming within the United 
States of America and Canada. This licensing agreement will expand the Group’s distribution channels through Bally’s extensive sales 
and marketing activities, as well as their currently installed base in the subject territory. The agreement has an initial term of three years 
and is expected to positively contribute to the Group’s result when further games licensed under the agreement receive the necessary 
regulatory approval.

Operating costs
Cost of sales in the period were $31.8 million compared to $23.3 million in the corresponding period in 2009. Gross margins for the year 
under review were 54% compared to 48% in the previous period in 2009. It is expected that margins will be further increased in the 2011 
financial year due to higher selling prices of the recently released A560 electronic gaming machine, continued overhead efficiencies 
through production processes and reduced material costs.

Operating costs, excluding cost of sales and financing costs, were $33.1 million compared to $33.0 million in the corresponding period 
in  2009.  Included  in  operating  costs  were  research  and  development  expenditure  of  $10.2  million,  a  decrease  of  $2.2  million  over 
the previous year in 2009. This investment in product development programs provides the Group with an ongoing product platform 
release strategy. Research and development, excluding the impact of capitalisation, amortisation and impairment losses on capitalised 
development  expenditure,  resulted  in  an  increase  in  expenditure  of  5%  and  represented  18%  of  revenue  compared  to  25%  in  the 
corresponding period in 2009.

Continued cost reductions assisted the Group to offset the immediate impact of lower international revenue resulting from the global 
financial crisis and further align cost structures with realistic revenue expectations. Further investment within the key North American 
market occurred during the current period which is expected to allow the Group to sell product under a direct sales model thus providing 
the opportunity to increase revenue contributions in FY11 and beyond as economic market conditions improve. 

Administration costs include impairment losses in the current period of $0.2 million on previously acquired goodwill and development 
costs capitalised. Excluding impairment losses administration costs fell by 1% over the prior corresponding period in 2009.

Financing costs
Net financing costs were $7.0 million in the period, an increase of $6.3 million on the corresponding period in 2009. This increase was 
primarily a result of net foreign exchange losses of $0.5 million in the current period compared to currency gains of $5.3 million in the 
corresponding period in 2009.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
There has been increased investment in research and development to ensure product development changes continue to positively affect 
product performance. The reduced operating cost structure is now geared to continue the financial turnaround experienced in the second 
half of the current financial year. The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) adversely impacted international revenue during the current period. 
Further investment is envisaged in 2011 within the Americas following the recent granting of a Nevada licence, to ensure the Group is 
positioned to capitalise on the significant opportunities within this region. 

The  development  and  recent  release  of  new  product  in  selected  markets  is  expected  to  enable  the  Group  to  continue  to  improve 
performance. The continued commercial relationship with Bally Gaming will provide ongoing revenue and further opportunities following 
the recent approval of the Group’s games on Bally’s gaming platform.

Other than the matters noted above, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.

7. Dividends
No dividends were paid or declared by the Company since the end of the previous financial year. The directors do not recommend that 
any dividends be paid in respect of the 2010 financial year.

8. Events subsequent to reporting date
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material 
and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those 
operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

29

9.  Likely developments
The Group will continue to evaluate and pursue further gaming licences and seek the necessary product approvals of the Company’s 
products to ensure sustainable revenue growth and continued improvement in results is achieved in future. This strategy is expected to 
achieve increased market share in targeted geographical business sectors which will positively contribute to Group results during future 
financial years. Further investment in product development for current and new products is expected to provide increased revenue and 
profitable results in the coming financial year.

The difficult market conditions caused by the GFC has impacted international revenue opportunities in the short term. Further investment 
is planned in the Americas which will ensure the Company is positioned to capitalise on revenue opportunities as and when conditions 
improve.

Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future 
financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable 
prejudice to the Group.

10. Directors’ interests
The  relevant  interest  of  each  director  in  the  shares,  convertible  notes  and  rights  or  options  over  such  instruments  issued  by  the 
companies within the Group and other related bodies corporate, as notified by the directors to the ASX in accordance with S205G(1) of 
the Corporations Act 2001, at the date of this report is as follows:

The Company granted 1,020,555 share options to all American employees on 2 July 2007 under an incentive plan. During or since the 
end of the financial year 310,250 options expired due to cessation of employment and 425,000 options lapsed leaving a balance of 
420,810 under issue. The share options under this incentive plan included 200,000 options granted to Mr M Cuadros.

In  addition  to  the  share  options  issued  by  the  Company  an  incentive  plan  was  previously  introduced  whereby  share  options  were 
granted to all Australian employees, excluding directors and four key management personnel. The share options granted on 2 July 2007 
to Australian employees totalled 10,994,707 and were granted over a portion of the personal shareholding of the Company’s Executive 
Chairman, Mr LH Ainsworth. During or since the end of the financial year 440,035 (2009: 808,414) options expired due to cessation of 
employment leaving a balance of 7,404,952 share options under issue (2009: 7,844,987). The share options under this incentive plan 
issued to key management personnel totalled Nil (2009: Nil) share options.

An exercise price of $0.50 per Share Option has been established and exercise is subject to vesting and performance conditions being 
met. The number of Share Options granted to each employee reflects the number of dollars comprising their individual base salary. 
The vesting of these Share Options is over a three year period with performance hurdles based on the market value of the shares in the 
Company. The Share Options lapse automatically on cessation of employment for any reason.

The options above have vesting and performance conditions, which must be satisfied prior to any of the options being exercised. The 
vesting condition is set with reference to the anniversary of the issue date of the option. All options expire on the earlier of their expiry 
date or termination of the option holders’ employment.

These options do not entitle the holder to participate in any share issue of the Company or any other body corporate.

Shares issued on exercise of options
During or since the end of the financial year, the Company issued no ordinary shares as a result of the exercise of options.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Ainsworth Game Technology Limited
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

37

1. Reporting entity

Ainsworth  Game  Technology  Limited  (the  ‘Company’)  is  a 
company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s 
registered  office  is  10  Holker  Street,  Newington,  NSW,  2127. 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 
and for the year ended 30 June 2010 comprise the Company 
and  its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  the  ‘Group’)  and 
the  Group’s  interest  in  associates.  The  Group  primarily  is 
involved  in  the  design,  development,  sale  and  servicing  of 
gaming machines and other related equipment and services. 

2. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance

(‘AASBs’) 

(including  Australian 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which 
has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards 
Interpretations) 
adopted  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(‘AASB’)  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  consolidated 
financial  report  of  the  Group  and  the  financial  report  of 
the  Company  also  comply  with  the  International  Financial 
Reporting  Standards  (IFRS’s)  and  interpretations  adopted 
by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board.  Certain 
comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with 
the current years’ presentation.

The  financial  statements  were  approved  by  the  Board  of 
Directors on 25 August 2010.

(b) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on 
the historical cost basis except for loans and borrowings with 
a Director related entity, which are measured at fair value.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in 
Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency 
and the functional currency of the majority of the Group. The 
Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 
dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, all 
financial information presented in Australian dollars has been 
rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management 
to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect 
the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported 
amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.  Actual 
results may differ to these estimates. Estimates and underlying 
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to 
accounting  estimates  are  recognised  in  the  period  in  which 
the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation 
uncertainty  and  critical  judgements  in  applying  accounting 
policies that have the most significant effect on the amount 
recognised in the financial statements are described in Note 
20	–	Intangibles	and	Note	24	–	Share-based	payments.

(e) Changes in accounting policies

Starting as of 1 July 2009, the Group has changed its accounting 
policies in the following areas:
•	 Presentation	of	financial	statements;	and
•	 Determination	and	presentation	of	operating	segments.

(f) Going concern

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on  the  going 
concern  basis  of  accounting,  which  assumes  that  the 
continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of 
assets  and  settlement  of  liabilities  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business. 

For the year ended 30 June 2010, the Group recorded a loss 
of $2.7 million (2009:$12.5 million). The Group’s operations are 
dependent on established facilities and funding by its major 
shareholder. 

In relation to the directors’ assessment of the going concern 
assumption, the directors have considered the following:

•	 The	 Company	 has	 a	 loan	 facility	 of	 $40.0	 million	 from	
its  majority  shareholder,  Mr  LH  Ainsworth  which  was 
extended  on  21  October  2008  and  matures  on  a  date  4 
years subsequent to the will of Mr LH Ainsworth coming into 
effect. At 30 June 2010, $13.7 million of this facility has been 
drawn, leaving $26.3 million available. Interest on the facility 
is not payable until the maturity date;

•	 The	Company	and	Group	do	not	expect	to	require	funding	
beyond these facilities in the foreseeable future, or at least 
one year from the signing of these financial statements. Of all 
available facilities, $18.3 million was drawn at 30 June 2010, 
leaving $27.7 million in unutilised facilities;

•	 At	balance	date,	the	Group	had	positive	net	working	capital	
of  $23.5  million  and  in  the  current  period  generated  net 
operating cash inflows of $10.6 million;

•	 Operating	 cost	 efficiencies	 were	 achieved	 in	 the	 current	

period under review;

•	 The	 investment	 in	 research	 and	 development	 as	 well	
as  servicing 
licenses  within  the  key 
North  American  market  is  expected  to  achieve  revenue 
opportunities beyond the 2010 financial year;

further  gaming 

•	 Progression	 of	 development	 strategies	 within	 domestic	
and  targeted  international  markets  is  expected  to  create 
additional revenue opportunities in future periods; and

•	 The	 directors	 have	 reviewed	 the	 cashflow	 forecasts	 and	
believe that these initiatives will enable the company to be 
to be able fund its operations for at least the next 12 months.

The Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare 
the  financial  report  on  a  going  concern  basis,  as  they  are 
confident the Company and the Group, has secured sufficient 
funding by way of support from its majority shareholder, can 
pay  its  debts  as  and  when  they  fall  due  for  the  foreseeable 
future, being at least one year from the date of approval of the 
financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

3. Significant accounting policies 

The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have  been  applied 
consistently  to  all  periods  presented  in  these  consolidated 
financial  statements,  and  have  been  applied  consistently  by 
Group entities.

(a) Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists 
when  the  Group  has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and 
operating  policies  of  an  entity  so  as  to  obtain  benefits  from 
its  activities.  In  assessing  control,  potential  voting  rights  that 
presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. 
The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  from  the  date  that  control 
commences until the date that control ceases.

In  the  Company’s 
subsidiaries are carried at cost.

financial  statements, 

investments 

in 

  Associates (equity accounted investees)
  Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant 
influence,  but  not  control,  over  the  financial  and  operating 
policies.  Significant  influence  is  presumed  to  exist  when  the 
Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power 
of  another  entity.  Associates  are  accounted  for  using  the 
equity method (equity accounted investees). The consolidated 
financial  statements  include  the  Group’s  share  of  the  income 
and expenses of equity accounted investees, after adjustments 
to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from 
the  date  that  significant  influence  commences  until  the  date 
that  significant  influence  ceases.  When  the  Group’s  share  of 
losses  exceeds  its  interest  in  an  equity  accounted  investee, 
the carrying amount of that interest (including any long term 
investments)  is  reduced  to  nil  and  the  recognition  of  further 
losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has 
an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

in 

Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group  balances  and  any  unrealised 
income  and 
expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated 
in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised 
gains  arising 
from  transactions  with  equity  accounted 
investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent 
of  the  Group’s  interest  in  the  investee.  Unrealised  losses  are 
eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the 
extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 

  Gains and losses are recognised when the contributed assets 
are consumed or sold by the equity accounted investees or, 
if  not  consumed  or  sold  by  the  equity  accounted  investees 
when the Group’s interest in such entities is disposed of. 

(b) Foreign currency

(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets 
and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  at  the 
balance  date  are  retranslated  to  the  functional  currency  at 
the foreign exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency 
gain  or  loss  on  monetary  items  is  the  difference  between 
amortised  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning 
of  the  period,  adjusted  for  effective  interest  and  payments 
in  foreign 
during  the  period,  and  the  amortised  cost 

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

currency  translated  at  the  exchange  rate  at  the  end  of  the 
period.  Non-monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated 
in  foreign  currencies  that  are  measured  at  fair  value  are 
retranslated  to  the  functional  currency  at  the  exchange 
rate  at  the  date  that  the  fair  value  was  determined.  Foreign 
currency  differences  arising  on  retranslation  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  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.

(ii) Foreign operations
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated 
to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. 
The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated 
to  Australian  dollars  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions.

recognised 

Foreign  currency  differences  are 
in  other 
comprehensive  income.  Since  1  July  2004,  the  Group’s  date  of 
transition  to  AASBs  under  AIFRS,  such  differences  have  been 
recognised  in  the  Foreign  Currency  Translation  Reserve  (FCTR). 
When  a  foreign  operation  is  disposed  of,  in  part  or  in  full,  the 
relevant amount in the FCTR is transferred to profit or loss, as part 
of profit or loss on disposal.

(c) Financial instruments

  Non-derivative financial assets
  Non-derivative  financial  assets  comprise  trade  and  other 

receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Trade and other receivables are recognised on the date that 
they  are  originated.  Financial  assets  are  derecognised  if  the 
Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
assets  expire  or  if  the  Group  transfers  the  financial  asset  to 
another party without retaining control or substantially all risks 
and rewards of the financial asset are transferred. 

Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  and  the  net  amount 
presented  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  when,  and 
only when the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts 
and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset 
and settle the liability simultaneously.

Trade  and  other  receivables  are  financial  assets  with  fixed 
or  determinable  payments  that  are  not  quoted  in  an  active 
market.  Such  assets  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value. 
Subsequent to initial recognition trade and other receivables 
are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest 
method, less any impairment losses.

  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  balances  and  call 

deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

  Non-derivative financial liabilities
  Non-derivative 

financial 
borrowings and trade and other payables.

liabilities  comprise 

loans  and 

  Debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities are initially 
recognised  on  the  date  that  they  are  originated.  All  other 
financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at 
which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability 
when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled 
or  expire.  Financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  and  the 
net amount presented in the statement of financial position 
when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the 
amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise 
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Loans  and  borrowings  and  trade  and  other  payables  are 
recognised initially at fair value plus any less directly attributable 
transaction  costs.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  these 
financial  liabilities  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  with 
any  difference  between  cost  and  redemption  value  being 
recognised  in  the  income  statement  over  the  period  of  the 
borrowings on an effective interest basis.

Subsequent costs
The  cost  of  replacing  part  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of an item if it 
is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within 
the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured 
reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant 
and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

39

  Where the terms and conditions of borrowings are modified, 
the carrying amount is remeasured to fair value. Any difference 
between the carrying amount and fair value is recognised in 
equity.

  Compound financial instruments
   Compound 

financial 

issued  by  the  Group 
instruments 
comprise  convertible  notes  that  can  be  converted  to  share 
capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares 
to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.

The liability component of a compound financial instrument 
is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does 
not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is 
recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the 
compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of 
the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs 
are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion 
to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  the  liability  component  of 
a compound financial instrument is measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. The equity component of a 
compound  financial  instrument  is  not  remeasured  subsequent 
to  initial  recognition.  Interest  relating  to  the  financial  liability  is 
recognised in the income statements.

Share capital 
  Ordinary shares
  Ordinary  shares  are  classified  as  equity.  Incremental  costs 
directly  attributable  to  issue  of  ordinary  shares  and  share 
options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any 
related income tax benefit.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

  Recognition and measurement 

  Depreciation
  Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of 
property, plant and equipment since this most closely reflects 
the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic 
benefits embodied in the assets. Leased assets are depreciated 
over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is 
not depreciated.

The  estimated  useful  lives  for  the  current  and  comparative 
periods are as follows::
•	buildings	
•	leasehold	improvements	
•	plant	and	equipment	

40	years
10	years
2.5	–	20	years

  Depreciation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values  are 
reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.

(e) Intangible assets

  Goodwill 
  Goodwill  (negative  goodwill)  arises  on  the  acquisition  of 

subsidiaries and associates.

  Acquisitions prior to 1 July 2004
  As part of its transition to AASBs, the Group elected to restate 
only those business combinations that occurred on or after 1 
July 2004. In respect of acquisitions prior to 1 July 2004, goodwill 
represents the amount recognised under the Group’s previous 
accounting framework, Australian GAAP. 

  Acquisitions on or after 1 July 2004

For acquisitions on or after 1 July 2004, goodwill represents the 
excess  of  the  cost  of  the  acquisition  over  the  Group’s  interest 
in  the  net  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and 
contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative 
(negative goodwill), it is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Subsequent measurement

  Goodwill  is  measured  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment 

  Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to 
the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part 
of that equipment. 

  When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have 
different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items 
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.

  Gains  and  losses  on  disposal  of  an  item  of  property,  plant 
and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds 
from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and 
equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in 
profit and loss.

losses.

  Research and development

Expenditure  on 
research  activities,  undertaken  with 
the  prospect  of  gaining  new  technical  knowledge  and 
understanding, is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

  Development  activities 

is  capitalised  only 

involve  a  plan  or  design  for  the 
production  of  new  or  substantially  improved  products  and 
processes.  Development  expenditure 
if 
development  costs  can  be  measured  reliably,  the  product  or 
process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic 
benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient 
resources  to  complete  development  and  to  use  or  sell  the 
asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, 
direct  labour  and  overhead  costs  that  are  directly  attributable 
to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development 
expenditure is recognised in profit or loss when incurred.

  Capitalised  development  expenditure  is  measured  at  cost 
less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment 
losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

3.  Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Intangible assets (continued)
  Other intangible assets
  Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which 
have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent  expenditure  is  capitalised  only  when  it  increases 
the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to 
which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on 
internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit 
or loss when incurred.

  Amortisation
  Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis 
over  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  intangible  assets,  other  than 
goodwill, from the date that they are available for use, since this 
most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the 
future economic benefit embodied in the asset. The estimated 
useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

•	capitalised	development	costs	
•	service	contracts	
•	intellectual	property	

2	–	5	years
8	years
10	years

(f) Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all 
the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  classified  as  finance 
leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at 
an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present 
value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the 
accounting policy applicable to that asset.

  Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not 
recognised on the Group’s statement of financial position. 

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value.  The  cost  of  inventories  is  based  on  the  first-in  first-out 
principle,  and  includes  expenditure  incurred  in  acquiring  the 
inventories,  production  or  conversion  costs  and  other  costs 
incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. 
In  the  case  of  manufactured  inventories  and  work  in  progress, 
cost  includes  an  appropriate  share  of  production  overheads 
based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the 
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(h) Impairment

Financial assets

  A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine 
whether  there  is  any  objective  evidence  that  it  is  impaired. 
A  financial  asset  is  considered  to  be  impaired  if  objective 
evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative 
effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

  Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include 
default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount 
due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider 
otherwise, indications that a debtor will enter bankruptcy. 

  An  impairment  loss  in  respect  of  a  financial  asset  measured 
at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its 
carrying  amount,  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future 
cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

financial  assets  are 

Individually  significant 
for 
impairment  on  an  individual  basis.  The  remaining  financial 
assets  are  assessed  collectively  in  groups  that  share  similar 
credit risk characteristics.

tested 

  All  impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  and 
reflected  in  an  allowance  account  against  receivables.  An 
impairment  loss  is  reversed  if  the  reversal  can  be  related 
objectively  to  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  loss 
was recognised. When a subsequent event causes the amount 
of  impairment  loss  to  decrease,  the  decrease  in  impairment 
loss is reversed through profit and loss.

  Non-financial assets

The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Group’s  non-financial  assets,  other 
than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine 
whether  there  is  any  indication  of  impairment.  If  any  such 
indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. 
For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that 
are not yet available for use, recoverable amount is estimated at 
each reporting date.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit 
is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to 
sell. 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 the purpose 
of  impairment  testing,  assets  are  grouped  together  into  the 
smallest  group  of  assets  that  generates  cash  inflows  from 
continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows 
of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash generating unit”). 
The  goodwill  acquired  in  a  business  combination  for  the 
purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating 
units  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from  the  synergies  of  the 
combination.

  An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  if  the  carrying  amount  of  an 
asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. 
Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  Impairment 
losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated 
first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to 
the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other 
assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

  An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In 
respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior 
periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications 
that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment 
loss  is  reversed  if  there  has  been  a  change  in  the  estimates 
used  to  determine  the  recoverable  amount.  An  impairment 
loss  is  reversed  only  to  the  extent  that  the  asset’s  carrying 
amount  does  not  exceed  the  carrying  amount  that  would 
have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if 
no impairment loss had been recognised.

(i) Employee benefits 
  Defined contribution superannuation funds
  A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan 
under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate 
entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay 
further amounts.

  Obligations 

for  contributions 

to  defined  contribution 
superannuation funds are recognised as an employee benefit 
expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services 
are rendered by employees.

 
 
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
 
 
 
 
 
 
41

  Other long term employee benefits

The  Group’s  net  obligation  in  respect  of  long-term  employee 
benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have 
earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods 
plus related on-costs; that benefit is discounted to determine its 
present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. 
The discount rate is the yield rate at the reporting date on AA 
credit  rated  or  government  bonds  that  have  maturity  dates 
approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations.

Termination benefits
Termination  benefits  are  recognised  as  an  expense  when  the 
Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of 
withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate employment 
before  the  normal  retirement  date  or  to  provide  termination 
benefits  as  a  result  of  an  offer  made  to  encourage  voluntary 
redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are 
recognised if the Group has made an offer encouraging voluntary 
redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the 
number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.

Short-term benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual 
leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ 
services  provided  to  reporting  date  and  are  calculated  at 
undiscounted  amounts  based  on  remuneration  wage  and 
salary rates that the Group expects to pay as at reporting date 
including  related  on-costs,  such  as  workers  remuneration 
insurance  and  payroll  tax.  Non-accumulating  non-monetary 
benefits,  such  as  cars  and  free  or  subsidised  goods  and 
services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the 
Group as the benefits are taken by the employees.

  A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid 
under short-term cash bonus plans if the Group has a present 
legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result 
of past service provided by the employee and the obligation 
can be estimated reliably.

Share-based payment transactions
The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is 
recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding 
increase in equity, over the period in which the employees 
become unconditionally entitled to the options. The amount 
recognised  as  an  expense  is  adjusted  to  reflect  the  actual 
number  of  share  options  for  which  the  related  service  and 
non-market  vesting  conditions  are  expected  to  be  met, 
such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the 
number  of  awards  that  meet  the  related  service  and  non-
market performance conditions at the vesting date.

(j)  Provisions
  A  provision  is  recognised  if,  as  a  result  of  a  past  event,  the 
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can 
be  estimated  reliably,  and  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of 
economic  benefits  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation. 
Provisions  are  determined  by  discounting  the  expected 
future  cash  flows  at  a  pre-tax  rate  that  reflects  current 
market  assessments  of  the  time  value  of  money  and,  where 
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

  Warranties
  A  provision  for  warranties  is  recognised  when  the  underlying 
products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical 
warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against 
their associated probabilities.

(k)  Revenue

  Goods sold 

Revenue  from  the  sale  of  goods  in  the  course  of  ordinary 
activities  is  measured  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration 
received  or  receivable,  net  of  returns,  allowances  and  trade 
discounts. Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence 
exists  usually  in  the  form  of  an  executed  sales  agreement, 
that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been 
transferred  to  the  buyer,  recovery  of  the  consideration  is 
probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods 
can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management 
involvement  with  the  goods,  and  the  amount  of  revenue 
can  be  measured  reliably.  Transfer  of  risks  and  rewards  vary 
depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale.

  When two or more revenue generating activities or deliverables 
are sold under a single arrangement, each deliverable that is 
considered to be a separate unit of account is accounted for 
separately. The consideration from a revenue arrangement is 
based on the relative fair values of each separate unit.

Services
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss 
when the services are performed.

(l)  Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit 
or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease 
incentives  received  are  recognised  as  an  integral  part  of  the 
total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

  Minimum  lease  payments  made  under  finance  leases  are 
apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction 
of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to 
each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant 
periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 

  Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether 
such an arrangement is or contains a lease. A specific asset is the 
subject of a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent 
on  the  use  of  that  specified  asset.  An  arrangement  conveys 
the  right  to  use  the  asset  if  the  arrangement  conveys  to  the 
Group the right to control the use of the underlying asset. At 
inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group 
separates payments and other consideration required by such 
an  arrangement  into  those  for  the  lease  and  those  for  other 
elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group 
concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate 
the  payments  reliably,  an  asset  and  a  liability  are  recognised 
at  an  amount  equal  to  the  fair  value  of  the  underlying  asset. 
Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and 
an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using 
the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

(m)  Finance income and expense

Finance  income  comprises  interest  income  and  foreign 
currency gains. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in 
profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, 
foreign  currency  losses  and  impairment  losses  recognised 
on  financial  assets.  Borrowing  costs  that  are  not  directly 
attributable  to  the  acquisition,  construction  or  production 
of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the 
effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

(n) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current 
and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent 
that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it 
is recognised in other comprehensive income.

  Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income 
for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at  the  reporting  date,  and  any  adjustment  to  tax  payable  in 
respect of previous years.

  Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences 
liabilities 
between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and 
for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used 
for  taxation  purposes.  Deferred  tax  is  not  recognised  for 
the  following  temporary  differences:  initial  recognition  of 
goodwill,  the  initial  recognition  of  assets  or  liabilities  that 
affect  neither  accounting  nor  taxable  profit,  and  differences 
relating  to  investments  in  subsidiaries  to  the  extent  that 
they  will  probably  not  reverse  in  the  foreseeable  future.  
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to 
be  applied  to  the  temporary  differences  when  they  reverse, 
based  on  the  laws  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantively 
enacted  by  the  reporting  date.  Deferred  tax  assets  and 
liabilities  are  offset  if  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to 
offset  current  tax  liabilities  and  assets,  and  they  relate  to 
income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  tax  authority  on  the  same 
taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to 
settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax 
assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

  A  deferred  tax  asset  is  recognised  for  unused  tax  losses,  tax 
credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that 
it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at 
each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no 
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(o) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount 
of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of 
GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In 
these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  with  the  amount  of  GST 
included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable 
to, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is included as a current 
asset or liability in the statement of financial position.

  Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross 
basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing 
and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, 
the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(p) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) 
data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing 
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the 
Company  by  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  EPS  is  determined 
by  adjusting  the  profit  or  loss  attributable  to  ordinary 
shareholders  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary 
shareholders  and  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary 
shares  outstanding  for  the  effects  of  all  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share 
options granted to employees.

(q) Segment reporting
  Determination and presentation of operating segments
  As of 1 July 2009 the Group’s determines and presents operating 
segments based on the information that internally is provided 
to the CEO, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. 
This  change  in  accounting  policy  is  due  to  the  adoption  of 
IFRS  8  Operating  Segments.  Previously  operating  segments 
were determined and presented in accordance with AASB 114 
Segment  Reporting.  The  new  accounting  policy  in  respect  of 
segment operating disclosures is presented as follows.

  An  operating  segment  is  a  component  of  the  Group  that 
engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues 
and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate 
to  transactions  with  any  of  the  Group’s  other  components.  All 
operating  segments’  operating  results  are  regularly  reviewed 
by  the  Group’s  CEO  to  make  decisions  about  resources  to  be 
allocated  to  the  segment  and  assess  its  performance,  and  for 
which discrete financial information is available.

  Comparative  segment  information  has  been  re-presented 
in  conformity  with  the  transitional  requirements  of  such 
standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts 
presentation  and  disclosure  aspects,  there  is  no  impact  on 
earnings per share.

(r) Presentation of financial statements 

The  Group  applies  revised  AASB  101  Presentation  of  Financial 
Statements (2007), which became effective as of 1 January 2009. 
As  a  result,  the  Group  presents  in  the  consolidated  statement 
of  changes  in  equity  all  owner  changes  in  equity,  whereas  all 
non-owner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income.

  Comparative information has been re-presented so that it also 
is in conformity with the revised standard. Since the change in 
accounting policy only impacts presentation aspects, there is 
no impact on earnings per share

(s) New standard and interpretations not yet adopted

The 
following  standards,  amendments  to  standards  and 
interpretations  have  been  identified  as  those  which  may 
impact the entity in the period of initial application. They are 
available  for  early  adoption  at  30  June  2010,  but  have  not 
been applied in preparing this financial report.

•	 AASB	 2009-5	 Further  amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process affect 
various  AASBs  resulting  in  minor  changes  for  presentation, 
disclosure,  recognition  and  measurement  purposes.  The 
amendments,  which  become  mandatory  for  the  Group’s  30 
June  2011  financial  statements,  are  not  expected  to  have  a 
significant impact on the financial statements.

•	 AASB	2010-3	Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising  from  the  Annual  Improvements  Process  affect  various 
AASBs resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, 
recognition  and  measurement  purposes.  The  amendments, 
which  become  mandatory  for  the  Group’s  30  June  2011 
financial  statements,  are  not  expected  to  have  a  significant 
impact on the financial statements.

•	 AASB	 2010-4	 Further  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Process affect 
various  AASBs  resulting  in  minor  changes  for  presentation, 
disclosure,  recognition  and  measurement  purposes.  The 
amendments,  which  become  mandatory  for  the  Group’s  30 
June  2011  financial  statements,  are  not  expected  to  have  a 
significant impact on the financial statements.

 
 
 
 
 
 
43

•	 AASB	 9	 Financial  Instruments  includes  requirements  for  the 
classification  and  measurement  of  financial  assets  resulting 
from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to replace AASB 
139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement. 
Retrospective application is generally required, although there 
are exceptions, particularly if the entity adopts the standard for 
the year ended 30 June 2012 or earlier. The Group has not yet 
determined the potential effect of the standard.

•	 AASB	 124	 Related  Party  Disclosures  (revised  December  2009) 
simplifies and clarifies the intended meaning of the definition 
of a related party and provides a partial exemption from the 
disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The 
amendments,  which  will  become  mandatory  for  Group’s  30 
June 2012 financial statements, are not expected to have any 
impact on the financial statements.

4. Determination of fair values
  A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures 
require the determination of fair value, for both financial and 
non-financial  assets  and  liabilities.  Fair  values  have  been 
determined  for  measurement  and  /  or  disclosure  purposes 
based  on  the  following  methods.  Where  applicable,  further 
information about the assumptions made in determining fair 
values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Intangible assets
The  fair  value  of  customer  contracts  acquired  in  a  business 
combination is based on the discounted cash flows expected to 
be derived from the use or eventual sale of these contracts. The 
fair value of other intangible assets is based on the discounted 
cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale 
of the assets.

Trade and other receivables / payables
For receivables / payables with a remaining life of less than one year, 
the notional amount is deemed to reflect the fair value. The fair value 
of all other receivables / payables is estimated as the present value 
of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the 
reporting date.

  Non-derivative financial instruments

Fair  value,  which  is  determined  for  disclosure  purposes,  is 
calculated based on the present value of future principal and 
interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest 
at the reporting date. In respect of the liability component of 
convertible notes, the market rate of interest is determined by 
reference  to  similar  liabilities  that  do  not  have  a  conversion 
option.  For  finance  leases  the  market  rate  of  interest  is 
determined by reference to similar lease agreements.

Loans and borrowings 
Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future 
principal and interest cash flows.

Finance lease liabilities
The fair value is estimated as the present value of future cash 
flows,  discounted  at  market  interest  rates  for  homogeneous 
lease agreements. The estimated fair values reflect changes in 
interest rates.

Share-based payment transactions 
The  fair  value  of  employee  stock  options  is  measured  using 
the Black Scholes and binomial lattice models. Measurement 
inputs  include  share  price  on  measurement  date,  exercise 
price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted 
average  historic  volatility  adjusted  for  changes  expected 

  due  to  publicly  available  information),  weighted  average 
expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience 
and  general  option  holder  behaviour),  expected  dividends, 
and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). 
Service and non-market performance conditions attached to 
the  transactions  are  not  taken  into  account  in  determining 
fair value.

5. Financial risk management
  Overview

The Company and Group have exposure to the following risks 
from their use of financial instruments:
•	Credit	risk;
•	Liquidity	risk;	and
•	Market	risk.

This  note  presents  information  about  the  Company’s  and 
Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, 
policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and 
the  management  of  capital.  Further  quantitative  disclosures 
are included throughout this financial report.

  Risk management framework

The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the 
establishment  and  oversight  of  the  risk  management 
framework. The Board has established processes through the 
Group Audit Committee, which is responsible for developing 
and  monitoring  risk  management  policies.  The  Committee 
reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

Risk  management  policies  are  established  to  identify  and 
analyse  the  risks  faced  by  the  Company  and  Group,  to  set 
appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and 
adherence  to  limits.  Risk  management  policies  and  systems 
are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions 
and the Company’s and Group’s activities. The Company and 
Group,  through  their  training  and  management  standards 
and procedures, aim to develop a disciplined and constructive 
control environment in which all employees understand their 
roles and obligations.

The  Group  Audit  Committee  oversees  how  management 
monitors  compliance  with  the  Company’s  and  Group’s 
risk  management  policies  and  procedures  and  reviews  the 
adequacy  of  the  risk  management  framework  in  relation 
to  the  risks  faced  by  the  Company  and  Group.  The  Group 
Audit  Committee  is  assisted  in  its  oversight  role  by  Internal 
Audit. Internal Audit undertakes reviews of risk management 
controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to 
the Group Audit Committee.

   Credit risk
  Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer 
or  counterparty  to  a  financial  instrument  fails  to  meet  its 
contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s 
and Company’s receivables from customers.

Trade and other receivables
is 
The  Company’s  and  Group’s  exposure  to  credit  risk 
influenced  mainly  by  the 
individual  characteristics  of 
each  customer,  including  the  default  risk  of  the  industry 
and  country  in  which  customers  operate.  Approximately 
2  percent  (2009:  2  percent)  of  the  Group’s  revenue  is  
attributable  to  sales  transactions  in  a  geographical  region 
with a single distributor. This distributor has been transacting 
business  with  the  Group  for  over  five  years  and  losses  have 
occurred infrequently.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

5. Financial risk management (continued)

   Credit risk (continued)
  Credit  policy  guidelines  have  been  introduced  under  which 
each  new  customer  is  assessed  by  the  compliance  division 
as to suitability and analysed for creditworthiness before the 
Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions 
are  offered.  The  Group’s  review 
investigations, 
external  ratings,  when  available,  and  in  some  cases  bank 
references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, 
which  represents  the  maximum  open  amount  without 
requiring approval from the Board. Customers that fail to meet 
the  Group’s  creditworthiness  criteria  may  only  transact  with 
the  Group  within  established  limits  unless  Board  approval  is 
received or otherwise only on a prepayment basis.

includes 

In  monitoring  customer  credit  risk,  customers  are  grouped 
according  to  their  credit  characteristics,  including  whether 
they  are  an  individual  or  legal  entity,  whether  they  are  a 
distributor, operator or customer, geographic location, aging 
profile, maturity and existence of previous financial difficulties. 
The  Group’s  trade  and  other  receivables  relate  mainly  to 
the  Group’s  direct  customers,  operators  and  established 
distributors. Customers that are graded as “high risk” require 
future sales to be made on a prepayment basis with approval 
of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer up to 
approved limits and thereafter only with Board approval.

  Goods  are  sold  subject  to  retention  of  title  clauses,  so  that 
in the event of non-payment the Group may have a secured 
claim.  The  Group  does  not  require  collateral  in  respect  of 
trade and other receivables.

The  Company  and  Group  have  established  an  allowance 
for  impairment  that  represents  their  estimate  of  incurred 
losses  in  respect  of  trade  and  other  receivables.  The  main 
components of this allowance are a specific loss component 
that relates to individually significant exposures.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet 
its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach 
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will 
always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, 
under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring 
unacceptable 
losses  or  risking  damage  to  the  Group’s 
reputation.

Typically  the  Group  ensures  that  it  has  access  to  sufficient 
cash  on  demand  to  meet  expected  operational  expenses 
for  a  period  of  60  days,  including  the  servicing  of  financial 
obligations;  this  excludes  the  potential  impact  of  extreme 
circumstances  that  cannot  reasonably  be  predicted,  such 
as  natural  disasters.  In  addition,  the  Group  maintains  the 
following lines of credit:

•	$40	 million	 facility	 that	 can	 be	 drawn	 down	 to	 meet 
  short-term financing needs; and 

•	$6	million	trade	facility.

  Market risk
  Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices,  such  as 
foreign  exchange  rates,  interest  rates  and  equity  prices  will 
affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial 
instruments.  The  objective  of  market  risk  management  is  to 
manage  and  control  market  risk  exposures  within  acceptable 
parameters, while optimising the return.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases 
that are denominated in a currency other than the respective 
functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian 
dollar  (AUD),  but  also  the  US  dollar  (USD).  The  currencies  in 
which these transactions primarily are denominated are AUD, 
New Zealand dollar (NZD), Euro and USD.

The  Group  regularly  monitors  and  reviews,  dependant  on 
available  facilities,  the  hedging  of  net  assets  denominated 
in a foreign currency. The Group has at various times utilised 
currency call options  to hedge its currency risk,  most with a 
maturity of less than six months. No currency call options were 
utilised throughout the reporting period.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated 
in  foreign  currencies,  the  Group  monitors  its  net  exposure  to 
address short-term imbalances.

Interest rate risk
The Group’s borrowing rates are fixed and no interest rate risk 
exists.

  Capital management
  Capital is defined as the total equity of the Group.

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to 
maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain 
future  development  of  the  business.  The  Board  continues  to 
monitor  group  performance  so  as  to  ensure  a  turnaround  is 
affected,  an  acceptable  return  on  capital  is  achieved  and  that 
dividends  will  be  provided  to  ordinary  shareholders  in  the 
medium term.

The  Board  continues  to  review  alternatives  to  ensure  present 
employees  will  hold  at  least  5%  of  the  Company’s  ordinary 
shares. This is expected to be achieved assuming all outstanding 
share  options  issued  vest  and/or  are  exercised.  These  share 
options were issued to all Australian employees over a portion 
of the Executive Chairman’s shareholding under a share option 
incentive plan provided on 2 July 2007. Refer Note 24.

There  were  no  changes  in  the  Group’s  approach  to  capital 
management during the year.

  Neither  the  Company  nor  any  of  its  subsidiaries  are  subject  to 

externally imposed capital requirements.

6. Segment reporting

The  Group  has  nine  reportable  segments  as  identified  below, 
which  are  the  Group’s  strategic  business  units.  For  each  of 
the  strategic  business  units,  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  (CEO) 
reviews  internal  management  reports  on  a  monthly  basis.  The 
Group’s  corporate  head  office  is  located  in  New  South  Wales, 
Australia where all design and development is undertaken and 
manufacturing facilities are operated. Sales offices are operated in 
New South Wales, Queensland and the Americas (Florida).

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is 
included below. Performance is measured based on segment 
profit  before  financing  costs  and  income  tax  as  included  in 
the  internal  management  reports  that  are  reviewed  by  the 
Group’s CEO. Segment profit is used to measure performance 
as  management  believes  that  such  information  is  the  most 
relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative 
to  other  entities  that  operate  within  these  industries.  Inter-
segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

  Comparative  segment  information  has  been  represented  in 
conformity with the requirement of AASB 8 Operating Segments.

(a) 

For the year ended 30 June 2010 the effect of the convertible notes was anti-dilutive as the Group recorded a loss for the period.

For the year ended 30 June 2010, the calculation of loss attributable to ordinary shareholders (diluted) and weighted average 
number of ordinary shares (diluted) also excludes the after-tax effect of interest on convertible notes (see note 22) and the effect 
of conversion of convertible notes, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The outstanding share options on issue were not considered to be potential ordinary shares for the year ended 30 June 2010 or 
30 June 2009 as they were anti-dilutive.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

20.  Intangible assets (continued)
Recoverability of development costs
The carrying amount of the Group’s development expenditure amounts to $8,003,000. An impairment test was triggered in the 
year due to the loss experienced by the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010. The recoverable amount of each cash generating 
unit  was  estimated  based  on  its  value  in  use,  and  using  a  pre-tax  discount  rate  of  20%.  Development  costs  were  segregated 
into  their  respective  cash  generating  units,  on  a  geographical  or  customer  specific  basis,  where  possible.    The  remainder  of 
development  costs  were  allocated  based  on  the  jurisdictional/customer  specific  revenue  they  are  expected  to  generate. 
The recoverable amount of each cash generating unit was estimated to be higher than the carrying amount of the unit and as 
such no impairment was required.

Value in use for individual cash generating units, excluding North America, were determined by discounting the future cash flows 
generated from the continuing use of the development and based on the following key assumptions:

•	

Cash	inflows	of	$72	million	in	the	2011	year	from	the	sale	of	the	Group’s	products	and	services.	These	cash	inflows	were	determined 
through board approved budgets, historical experience and actual operating results;

Annual	revenue	growth	of	between	2	and	7.5%	throughout	the	useful	life	of	the	development	based	on	current	actual	performance,	 

•	
  market conditions and strategic actions included in the Company’s three year Business Plan;

•	

•	

The	development	will	generate	cash	flows	for	5	years;	and

Discount	rate	of	20%	based	on	the	weighted	average	cost	of	capital	adjusted	for	volatility	of	regulatory	conditions.

The carrying amount of the North American cash generating unit was $3,839,000, comprising of $1,070,000 development costs, 
$1,209,000 other assets and $1,560,000 Nevada licence costs. The assessment of any related impairment for this cash generating 
unit was based on the projected forecasts included in the Group’s 2011 budget and 2012-2013 Business Plan and included the 
following key assumptions:

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Cash	inflows	of	$16	million	in	the	2011	year	from	the	sale	of	the	of	the	Group’s	products	and	services.	These	cash	inflows	were 
determined through a comprehensive review of the market undertaken as part of the budget and business planning process;

Revenue	growth	to	$27	million	and	$43	million	in	2012	and	2013,	respectively.	This	growth	is	based	on	the	planned	expansion 
and the  establishment  of  activities  in  the  Americas  and  the  resultant  growth  from  recent  development  undertaken.  Annual  
revenue growth of 5% subsequent to 2013 for the remaining useful life of the development;

Increased	market	share	resulting	from	higher	performance	through	recently	developed	product	initiatives;

Access	 to	 new	 markets	 following	 the	 recent	 granting	 of	 licences	 in	 North	 America	 and	 the	 release	 of	 the	 newly	 developed 
gaming machines in these markets;

The	development	will	generate	cash	flows	for	5	years;	and

Discount	rate	of	20%	based	on	the	weighted	average	cost	of	capital	adjusted	for	volatility	of	regulatory	conditions.

The value in use will be re-assessed at each reporting date for which an indicator of impairment exists. Should the above assumptions 
not remain valid, an impairment may be required.

Impairment testing for Nevada licence costs
The Nevada licence costs capitalised are classified as an intangible asset with an indefinite life, and as such the recoverable amount 
is assessed at each reporting date. The carrying amount of $1,560,000 was allocated to the North American cash generating unit 
which was assessed for impairment under the key assumptions noted above. As the recoverable amount of the North American 
cash generating unit was estimated to be higher than the carrying amount of the unit, no impairment was considered necessary.

Impairment testing for goodwill
Goodwill relates to acquired business and entities. The recoverable amount is assessed using calculation methodologies based 
on value-in-use calculations which utilise projected cashflows from financial budgets approved by the Board of Directors. The 
cashflow  models  consider  growth  over  the  medium  term,  being  five  years,  discounted  to  present  value  using  a  discount  rate 
determined by reference to its weighted average cost of capital (WACC) adjusted if necessary to reflect the specific characteristics 
of each entity. A capitalisation multiple is then applied to this medium term cumulative discounted cashflow and an acceptable 
valuation range is formulated and tested against the carrying value of goodwill associated with each business and entity.

The  recoverable  amount  was  estimated  to  be  lower  than  the  carrying  amount  of  the  goodwill  on  a  previous  acquisition  due 
to product transition to new generation gaming machines, and an impairment of $171,000 was required in the current period. 
The carrying amount as at the report date was $Nil (2009: $171,000).

The recoverable amount of the Australian service cash-generating unit was based on its value in use. Value in use was determined 
by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the service unit and was based on the following key 
assumptions:

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

 
 
 
 
 
 
57

•	

•	

Cash	flows	were	projected	based	on	actual	operating	results	and	a	projected	four	year	period.	Cash	flows	for	a	further	10	year 
period were extrapolated using a constant growth rate of 5 percent, which does not exceed the long term average growth 
rate for the industry. Management believes that this forecast period was justified due to the long term nature of the service 
business; and

Revenue	was	projected	at	about	$4,214,000	in	the	first	year	with	anticipated	annual	revenue	growth	included	in	the	cash	flow 
projections of 5 percent for the years 2010 to 2013. Management plans to achieve annual revenue of $4,886,000 by the fourth year.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the service industry and are based 
on internal sources via historical data.

The above estimates are particularly sensitive in the following areas:
•	

An	increase	of	1	percentage	point	in	the	discount	rate	used	would	have	reduced	the	recoverable	amount	of	the	cash	generating	unit	 
by $167,000 and no impairment would have resulted; and
A	5	percent	decrease	in	future	planned	revenues	would	have	resulted	in	an	impairment	loss	of	$1,338,000.

Trade/credit facility
A trade facility of $6 million has been established from a director / shareholder controlled entity under more favourable terms than 
those that could be achieved from the Company’s bankers and at arms length in the open market. Refer note 33.

Loan from director/shareholder controlled entity
The loan facility is provided by an entity controlled by Mr LH Ainsworth, a director and shareholder of the Company. This facility 
is secured by a debenture mortgage over the Group’s freehold land and buildings at 10 Holker Street, Newington, NSW and a 
fixed and floating charge over the Company. The facilities of $13,706,000 utilised at the reporting date exclude interest payable of 
$12,179,000.

A further unsecured loan of $4,801,000 has been provided to expand the Company’s Sydney facility and relocate all manufacturing 
operations from leased premises in Melbourne. This loan is under similar terms and conditions to the above facility with interest 
accruing from an agreed date at the rate of 8.0% per annum. The proposed terms of reimbursement are that an annual principal 
amount of $350,000 will be repaid monthly in arrears or as mutually agreed with the full repayment of the remaining balance and 
interest not required to be paid until the Company has sufficient operating cashflows to do so and until amounts owing on the 
$40 million facility has been repaid.

their convertible notes, the noteholder may elect to convert their notes on the proposed redemption date. Notes that are not 
converted to ordinary shares will be redeemed at face value on either 31 December 2011 or 2014 subject to the early redemption 
by the Company.

Loans – secured
This loan was recorded at fair value at 1 July 2005, given that the interest rate applied to the facility is lower than that which could 
be obtained commercially and was subsequently carried at amortised cost. The maturity date of the loan was extended during the 
current period and as such the loan was restated to its fair value, based on the extended terms. Subsequent to the restatement on 23 
May 2008, the loan will be carried at amortised cost (refer note 3(c)).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

24.  Share-based payments 

The Company has in place an ESOP approved on 30 July 2001. 

The terms and conditions of the grants are as follows, whereby all options are settled by physical delivery of shares:

Grant date / employee entitled

Number of 
instruments

Vesting conditions

Option grant to key management at 2 July 2007

200,000

331,060

Three years of service as per ESOP below

Contractual life 
of options

5 years

5 years

Total share options

531,060

To be eligible to participate in the ESOP the employee must be selected by the directors and reviewed by the Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee. Options may be exercised within a five-year period, starting on the first anniversary of the issue of the 
options (subject to earlier exercise where a takeover offer or takeover announcement is made, or a person becomes the holder of 
a relevant interest in 50% or more of the Company’s voting shares).

The ESOP provides for employees to receive options for no consideration. Each option is convertible to one ordinary share. There are 
no voting or dividend rights attached to the unissued ordinary shares. Voting and dividend rights will be attached to the unissued 
ordinary shares when the options have been exercised. The exercise price of the options is determined in accordance with the 
rules of the ESOP. The ability to exercise the options is conditional on the achievement of performance hurdles. Accordingly, the 
plan does not represent remuneration for past services.

The vesting and performance conditions of the share options issued on 2 July 2007 are as follows:

Date

First Anniversary of Grant Date

Second Anniversary of Grant Date

Third Anniversary of Grant Date

Vesting Condition 
(% of Options vesting)

Performance Condition 
(VWAP* must equal or exceed) 
% of Exercise Price

20%

20%

60%

200%

* The performance conditions measure the volume weighted average price at which Shares traded on the ASX for the most recent 
20 Business Days upon each of which any shares were traded on ASX within 60 business days immediately preceding the relevant 
vesting date of those Options..

In addition to the share options issued by the Company an incentive plan was introduced whereby share options were granted 
to all Australian employees, excluding directors and four key management personnel. The share options granted to Australian 
employees on 2 July 2007 totalled 10,994,707 and were granted over a portion of the personal shareholding of the Company’s 
Executive Chairman, Mr LH Ainsworth. During the year 380,035 share options expired as a result of cessation of employment with 
the Company and Group leaving 7,464,952 share options outstanding as at 30 June 2010.

The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options is as follows:

During the 2010 financial year, no share options were exercised or granted.

AINSWORTH GAME TECHNOLOGY ANNUAL REPORT 2010

The fair value of services received in return for share options granted are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. 
The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black Scholes and binomial lattice models. The contractual 
life of the option is used as an input into this model. Expectations of early exercise are incorporated into these models.

The expected volatility is based on the historic volatility (calculated based on the weighted average remaining life of the share 
options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.

Share  options  are  granted  under  a  service  condition  and,  for  grants  to  key  management  personnel,  market  and  non-market 
performance conditions. Non-market performance conditions are not taken into account in the grant date fair value measurement 
of the services received.

The Group has also issued share options (see note 24).

The Company does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued shares.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share 
at meetings of the Company. All shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.

Equity compensation reserve
The equity compensation reserve represents the cost of share options issued to employees that the Group is required to include 
in the consolidated financial statements.

Fair value reserve
The fair value reserve comprises the cumulative net change in fair value of related party loans and borrowings where interest is charged 
below market value.

Translation reserve
The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of  foreign 
operations where their functional currency is different to the presentation currency of the reporting entity, as well as from the translation 
of liabilities that hedge the Company’s net investment in a foreign subsidiary.

Dividends
No dividends were recommended or paid during or since the end of the financial year (2009: Nil).

The Group leases a number of warehouse and office facilities under operating leases. The leases typically run for a period of 1-5 
years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Lease payments are increased every five years to reflect market rentals. 
None of the leases includes contingent rentals.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2010, $455,000 was recognised as an operating  expense  in the income statement in 
respect of operating leases (2009: $465,000).

The warehouse and office leases are combined leases of land and buildings. When the Group adopted AASBs at 1 July 2004, it was not 
possible to obtain a reliable estimate of the split of the fair values of the lease interest between land and buildings at inception of the 
leases. Therefore, in determining lease classification, the Group evaluated whether both parts were clearly operating leases or finance 
leases. Firstly, land title does not pass. Secondly, because the rent paid to the landlord for the building is increased to market rent at regular 
intervals, and the Group does not participate in the residual value of the building, it was judged that substantially all the risks and rewards 
of the building are with the landlord. Based on these qualitative factors it was concluded that the leases are operating leases.

The impairment loss of $292,000 (2009: $Nil) was recognised in sales, service and marketing expenses in the income statement.

Based on historic default rates and current repayment plan in place, the Group believes that no impairment is necessary in respect 
of trade receivables not past due or on amounts past due up to 120 days as these relate to known circumstances that are not 
considered to impact collectibility.

An impairment allowance of $351,000 has been provided for past due amounts more than 121 days and relates to customers and 
distributors where the Group has either commenced legal action or has assessed potential collectability issues. The remaining 
balance where no impairment allowance has been provided relate to negotiated repayment plans from long standing customers 
and distributors who have met or had their obligations re-negotiated during the period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

32.  Financial instruments (continued)

Currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the AUD.

The Group monitors and assesses under its Treasury Risk policy and facilities available whether hedging of all trade receivables and 
trade payables denominated in a foreign currency from time to time is considered appropriate. The Group uses foreign currency 
call options to hedge its foreign currency risk. Most of the foreign currency call options have maturities of less than one year after 
the balance date. No foreign currency call options were in place at the reporting date due to expiry in the current period.

Exposure to currency risk
The Group’s significant exposure to foreign currency risk at balance date was as follows, based on notional amounts:

Sensitivity analysis
In managing currency risks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group earnings. Over the longer-term, 
however, permanent changes in foreign exchange will have an impact on profit/(loss).

A 10 percent strengthening of the Australian dollar against the following currencies at 30 June would have increased (decreased) equity 
and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed 
on the same basis for 2009.

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Ainsworth Game Technology Limited

Report on the financial report

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Ainsworth  Game  Technology  Limited  (the  Company),  which  comprises  the 
statements of financial position as at 30 June 2010, and statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and 
statements of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes 1 
to 34 and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time 
to time during the financial year.

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report

The  directors  of  the  company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  report  in  accordance  with 
Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility 
includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making 
accounting  estimates  that  are  reasonable  in  the  circumstances.  In  note  2(a),  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standard  AASB  101  Presentation of Financial Statements,  that  the  financial  report  of  the  Group,  comprising  the  financial 
statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with 
Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit 
engagements  and  plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  whether  the  financial  report  is  free  from  material 
misstatement. 

An  audit  involves  performing  procedures  to  obtain  audit  evidence  about  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  report.  The 
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 
report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s 
preparation and fair presentation of the financial report  in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating 
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and  the reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  made by  the  directors,  as  well  as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

We  performed  the  procedures  to  assess  whether  in  all  material  respects  the  financial  report  presents  fairly,  in  accordance  with  the 
Corporations  Act  2001  and  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (including  the  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations),  a  view  which  is 
consistent with our understanding of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position and of their performance.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Auditor’s opinion

In our opinion:

(a)  the financial report of Ainsworth Game Technology Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:  

 (i)  giving a true and fair view of the Company’s and the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2010 and of their performance 

for the year ended on that date; and 

 (ii)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations 

Regulations 2001.

(b)   the financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting  Standards as disclosed in note 2(a).
