EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN AND CEO’S ADDRESS
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN AND CEO’S ADDRESS
Dear Shareholders,
We are delighted to present you with our results for the 2019 Financial Year.
Twelve months ago, we outlined our long-term plan for AMA Group Limited (ASX: AMA). Our key priorities
included consolidating Australia’s vehicle panel repair industry, executing further “Greenfield” opportunities,
expanding our partnership agreements and identifying and executing strategic acquisitions in the Automotive
Components and Accessories divisions. We are pleased to say this plan is on track and delivering success,
but there is much more work to do.
We finished the financial year with the strongest set of results in the company’s history. AMA’s strong growth
in 2019 is best reflected by a 21% increase in revenue to more than $616 million, up from $510 million in the
previous year. We report an unaudited normalised EBITDA of $58.2 million, up $6 million and 12% on last
year’s result, and consistent with the market guidance. We delivered 39% growth in reported basic earnings
per share from continuing operations, an increase from 2.88 cents to 4.00 cents and are pleased to declare a
final dividend of 2.25 cents per share to our shareholders.
The Vehicle Panel Repair division, which accounted for 86% of our business in the past year, completed 21
acquisitions and opened four greenfields, which is an impressive feat. Of those acquisitions, six were within
the Heavy Vehicle Repair industry, an attractive new growth market and strategic focus of AMA.
The Automotive Components & Accessories divisions (ACAD) delivered positive results with a significant
increase in revenue and a focus on improving the performance of the more recently acquired business units.
The ACAD business has embedded the right mix of personnel within their teams and further developed new
designs and innovative product ranges to ensure the division is set up for future growth. The team is looking
forward to a busy FY2020 with a continued focus on improving the quality of revenue and identifying and
executing strategic acquisitions.
AMA will continue to pursue an extensive pipeline of potential acquisitions and Greenfield development sites,
as we work towards $1 billion in revenue by FY2021 and $100 million in EBITDA. To achieve this goal we will
require both strategic acquisitions and whole-of-business continuous improvement. These priorities include:
1. Realising the full potential of our team;
2.
3.
Enhancing our processes and systems – a “one platform” approach; and
Strongly aligning our brand with our customers.
AMA recently relocated both the Corporate Head Office and Panel Division Support Centre into new a
corporate office at Bundall, QLD, setting AMA up for future growth.
The economic outlook and market conditions remain challenging. However, the Board and the CEO have
great confidence that the combination of the defensive nature of our industry, and our proven acquisition
strategy, our ability to increase revenues while containing cost, and the quality, high-performing people within
our business will ensure your company will deliver strong returns into the future.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Key Achievements
The Directors are proud of the team’s progress in executing the Board’s strategy to expand our business and
task advantage of industry consolidation while generating value and positive returns to shareholders.
FY2019 was another milestone year for AMA, which achieved a number of important successes throughout
the reporting period including:
• Exceeded $600m in revenue with growth of 21% and on-track to reach $1 billion revenue by FY2021.
• Completed 21 acquisitions, including six (6) business acquisitions in the Heavy Vehicle Repair industry.
This sector is an attractive new growth market and a strategic focus of AMA.
• The Vehicle Panel Repair division increased the number of shops it operates to 130 at 30 June 2019.
• The Vehicle Panel Repair division opened four (4) new greenfield sites, all supported by insurer contracts.
• Automotive Components & Accessories Divisions (ACAD) completed a major restructuring program, fully
integrating the Automotive Solutions Group acquisition into its existing businesses, and performed to
expectation.
• Relocated of the Corporate Head Office and Panel Division Support Centre into new a corporate office in
Bundall, QLD, which sets AMA up for future growth.
• Received the second tranche of the market investment incentive instalment in the amount of $30.9m.
Operating Results
Reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairment expense from continuing
operations (“EBITDA”) has increased from $43.6 million to $50.1 million; a 15% increase. This result,
however, has been significantly impacted by several large abnormal items. Adjusting the result for these
abnormal items results in an unaudited normalised EBITDA of $58.2 million, an increase of 12% from the prior
comparative year of $52.2 million. Importantly, this unaudited normalised EBITDA result is consistent with the
Company’s latest market guidance being “normalised EBITDA of approximately $58m”.

AMA GROUP LIMITED
(ACN 113 883 560)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
The Group’s reported net profit before tax from continuing operations (“NPBT”) has increased from $24.7
million to $31.4 million, an increase of 27.3%.
Vehicle Panel Repair
The Vehicle Panel Repair division increased its revenue by 21.4% and its reported EBITDA by 18.9%. A
major contributor to this growth was the full year impact of the acquisitions completed in FY2018 and the part
year impact of the current year’s acquisitions.
During the year the division integrated 21 acquisitions and opened four (4) greenfields. We also commenced
operations into the Heavy Vehicle Repair industry, with acquisitions of six (6) businesses across three states.
A new CEO (appointment date 1 July 2019) was recruited to lead the Panel Division. Steve Bubulj joined our
team and brings significant insurance industry knowledge and commercial acumen. Mr Bubulj has a strong
bond to the business given his lengthy time in the industry, and he has a strong affinity with AMA’s business
and growth story.
The division completed the rollout of the new ERP (NetSuite) and GemSafe, a purpose-built Workplace Health
& Safety / Occupational Health & Safety governance platform which provides AMA with industry leading
labour advantages. The division also commenced the rollout of Torque, a purpose-built environmental
governance management platform which provides AMA with an industry leading advantage.
During the year, the division launched a digital, centralised estimating service to insurer and fleet clients which
has enhanced the customers experience as well as materialising efficiencies in estimating, triage and
allocating motor vehicle repairs throughout AMA’s network.
The division continued the development of its apprentice programs, with these efforts recognised with an
industry first female finalist in the World Skills Competition in Russia, as well as the division being a finalist in
the Champion Employer of the Year award.
Automotive Components & Accessories Divisions
ACAD performed well in another challenging year, with new vehicle sales seeing year-on-year decreased
volumes throughout all of FY2019. Management is pleased to report that all four divisions again delivered
positive results. Our CSM Service Bodies business, acquired 1 December 2017, continued to deliver excellent
results taking advantage of favourable market opportunity in the specialised fleet area, achieving revenues of
$14.6m compared to $5.1m for the 7 months to 30 June 2018. We opened a second fitting site in Q4 FY2019
that will result in increased volumes and take advantage of opportunities to grow the CSM business.
In FY2019 the Vehicle Protection Products & Ute Accessories Division (Manufacturing) engaged a new
production management team whose focus is to continue improving margins in FY2020. We worked closely
with our OEM customers to develop protection products for their new vehicle ranges utilising our expert
product development team.
The Automotive Electrical & 4x4 Accessories Division (Distribution) continued integration of the 4x4
Accessories ranges and further development of new innovative product ranges enabled a modest increase in
revenue, despite ongoing cost pressures. The evolution of the AE4A West branch in converting “other” brand
products to our own brands contributed to improvement in revenue quality and cashflow. Expansion of the
solar range through our national retail chain customers has bolstered future supply to market.

AMA GROUP LIMITED
(ACN 113 883 560)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
In a challenging year the Automotive Remanufacturing Division (Re-manufacturing) achieved a solid
performance to deliver a similar result to FY2018. We continue to build on our OEM relationships to help drive
future volumes through new model development.
Workshop & Performance Products Division (Workshop) contributed positively to the FY2019 results despite
the softening in the sector. Our key focus has been on harnessing our existing customer base and developing
increased channels to market. This approach has successfully attracted work from two significant fleet
customers and a number of other key commercial clients.

Cashflow for the period was in line with expectations. Key points to note:
• The group increased its debt facilities to $150 million (including a $25 million accordion) over the period
and drew down $52.8 million to facilitate acquisitions, finalise contractual earnouts and for general
corporate purposes. Interest and borrowing costs increased consistent to expectations.
• The group spent $37.5 million on the acquisition of new businesses during the period.
• An equity raising to new sophisticated investors during the period raised $9.5 million. These funds were
used to facilitate the set-up of the Group’s new Procurement division.
Financial Position
The Current Ratio has decreased from 0.95 times to 0.84 times. This ratio is impacted by the significant non-
cash items in other current liabilities; namely the unamortised Deferred Income and the scrip component of
Contingent Vendor Consideration. Adjusting this ratio for these items, the Current Ratio adjusted for non-cash
items improves from 0.84 times to 0.98 times.

AMA GROUP LIMITED
(ACN 113 883 560)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
The gearing ratio has slightly increased from 11.46% at June 2018 to 13.28% at June 2019. While the
Company’s market capitalisation and the amount owing on Contingent Vendor Consideration has increased,
the major contributor to this increased gearing ratio has been the increased debt facilities held by the group.
Even so, the Directors believe that the Group is conservatively geared and that the Group has sufficient
capital resources, including the committed debt facility, which had $44.4 million undrawn at balance date.
This robust financial position will allow the Group to take advantage of the large number of attractive
acquisitions and greenfield expansion opportunities currently before it, as well as allow the Group to grow its
exciting new procurement division.
Capital Management
In November 2018, AMA paid the FY2018 final dividend of 2.0 cents per share fully franked at 30%.
In May 2019, AMA paid the FY2019 interim dividend of 0.5 cents per share fully franked at 30%.
Upon finalising the final report, the Directors are pleased to announce they have decided to declare a final
dividend, fully franked at 30%, of 2.25 cents per share with a record date of 13 September 2019 and a
payment date of 13 November 2019.
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations have increased from 2.88 cents to 4.00 cents; an
increase of 38.9%.
The closing price for an AMA Share on the ASX has also increased through the year from 104.5 cents at 30
June 2018 to 143.0 cents at 30 June 2019; an increase of 36.8%.
Business Strategies and Future Prospects
In recent years, the strategic direction of the Group has been focused on the growth opportunities presenting
themselves to both the Vehicle Panel Repairs and Automotive Components & Accessories Divisions. It was
believed that the Group could exploit these opportunities with:
• Market leading brands;
• Strong relationships with customers and suppliers across multiple channels;
•
• A robust strong financial position.
Industry experienced management with a commitment to operating excellence; and
It was anticipated that most business segments would have organic growth potential but given the
consolidation of the Vehicle Panel Repair industry there would be significant opportunities for strategic and
accretive acquisitions in this industry segment. To this end, Management then embarked on execution of its
business growth plan.
The Directors believe that the strong financial performance of AMA in the current reporting period reflects the
ongoing outcomes of this strategic plan. The investments made have resulted in a significant increase in the
scale and scope of the operations. The results are in line with the Directors’ expectations, and show a
substantial increase in the Group’s operating revenue and EBITDA over the past three years.

AMA GROUP LIMITED
(ACN 113 883 560)
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
The Board believe that there are still substantial growth opportunities presenting to the key business divisions.
The consolidation of the Vehicle Panel Repair industry continues and Management are actively involved in
negotiating the acquisition of existing businesses and the development of new “greenfield” sites, supported by
insurer customer contracts. These growth opportunities also exist for the non-panel repair operating divisions.
The acquisition of further businesses will provide scale to the operations and consolidate our position as
market leaders.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 3 July 2019, AMA acquired the remaining 40% shares in Woods Auto Shops (Dandenong) Pty Ltd.
On 8 August 2019, a fully refundable deposit of $4 million was returned for an acquisition that did not proceed.
On 26 August 2019, the Directors declared a dividend, fully franked of 2.25 cents per security which is to be
paid 13 November 2019.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AMA will continue to pursue the growth opportunities presenting themselves to both Vehicle Panel Repairs
and Automotive Components & Accessories Divisions. AMA believes that its continued application of key
management strategies combined with its acquisition strategy will continue to boost future earnings.

AMA GROUP LIMITED
(ACN 113 883 560)
REMUNERATION REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
There is no direct link between remuneration of Key Management Personnel and the share price movement.
Remuneration is based on key performance indicators, targets and other benchmarks as determined by the
Board or the Chief Executive Officer.
Non-Executive Directors
The Board determines the Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration based on independent market data for
comparative companies.
The remuneration payable from time to time to Non-Executive Directors shall be in an amount not exceeding
in aggregate a maximum sum that is approved by resolution of the Company, currently $400,000 per annum.
Non-Executive Directors’ retirement payments are limited to compulsory employer superannuation.
Executive Directors and Executive Management remuneration
The Company’s remuneration policy directs that the remuneration packages appropriately reflect the
executives’ duties and responsibilities and that remuneration levels attract and retain high calibre executives
with the skills necessary to successfully manage the Company’s operations and achieve its strategic and
financial objectives.
The Company also has a policy of rewarding extraordinary contribution to the growth of the Company with the
grant of an annual discretionary cash bonus, shares or options under the Company’s Employee Equity Plan.
Executives are also entitled to be reimbursed for their reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses
incurred in the execution of their duties.
Remuneration packages for Executives can generally consist of three components:
• Fixed remuneration which is made up of cash salary, salary sacrifice components and superannuation;
• Short term incentives which include the issue of shares or options or a cash bonus; and
• Long term incentives which include issuing options.
Fixed remuneration
Executives who possess a high level of skill and experience are offered a competitive base salary. The
performance of each executive will be reviewed annually. Following the review, the Board may in its sole
discretion increase the salary based on that executive’s performance, productivity and such other matters as it
considers relevant.
Superannuation contributions by the Company are limited to the statutory level of 9.50% (2018: 9.50%) of
wages and salaries.
Short-term incentives
The remuneration of Executives includes short-term incentive bonuses, payable as cash or equity, as part of
their employment conditions based on achieving specific measured objectives. The Board may however
approve discretionary bonuses to executives in relation to certain milestones being achieved.

AMA GROUP LIMITED
(ACN 113 883 560)
REMUNERATION REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Long-term incentives
The Company has in place an Employee Equity Plan for the benefit of Directors, full-time and part-time staff
members employed by the Company. There are options currently on issue under the plan.
The Company is currently in the process of reviewing the structure of this plan and will implement a new long-
term incentive plan in FY2020.
Performance based remuneration
Performance based remuneration is issued to reward individual performance in line with Group objectives.
Consequently, performance-based remuneration is paid to an individual where the individual’s performance
clearly contributes to a successful outcome for the Group. This is regularly measured in respect of
performance against key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) and incentive bonuses are paid monthly, quarterly
and yearly to reflect this.
KPI’s used to measure performance include, but are not limited to:
• Completion of set milestones.
• EBIT target achievements.
• Sales target achievements.
KPI’s are set in advance in conjunction with Group targets and in consultation with Executives and
employees. The KPI’s chosen reflect the Group’s goals for the year and endeavour to increase shareholder
wealth.
Assessment of KPI’s is undertaken by the Board and Executive Management based on management
accounts and year end audited financial results.
All Executives and employees are eligible to receive incentives whether through employment contracts or by
recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer or Board. Performance based incentive payments are based
on a set monetary value or number of shares or options. There is no fixed portion between incentive and
base remuneration.
Remuneration policy versus Group Performance
The Group’s remuneration policy is based on industry practice. Executive performance-based remuneration
issued during the 2019 financial year has been measured against the KPI’s set at the start of the year by the
Board and/or Executive Management to reflect the Group’s objectives for the year. The Board believes that
the performance-based remuneration issued to executives during the year reflects the contribution that they
have made to the Group’s performance over the past 12 months.
Service agreements
The Group has entered into service agreements with Key Management Personnel. Details of these
agreements are contained in Part D of this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Note 1
Significant Accounting Policies
1 (a) Basis of preparation
1 (a) (i) Basis of accounting
This general purpose financial report, for the year ended 30 June 2019, has been prepared in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001, for AMA
Group Limited (“AMA” or the “Company”) and its controlled entities as a consolidated group (the “Group”).
The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
This general-purpose financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the
Group will be able to meet its debts as and when they become due and payable. As at 30 June 2019, the
financial report shows current liabilities exceeding current assets by $20.7 million. This is impacted by the
significant non-cash items in other current liabilities; namely the unamortised Deferred Income and the scrip
component of Contingent Vendor Consideration. Adjusting for these items, this becomes an excess of current
liabilities over current assets of $2.4 million.
1 (a) (ii) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities in the
Group as at 30 June 2019 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended. A list of the
controlled entities is provided in Note 29 to these financial statements.
The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of
the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They
are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment
of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance
sheet respectively.
1 (a) (iii) Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified where
applicable by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and certain
classes of property, plant and equipment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Note 1
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
1 (a) (iv) Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in
presentation for the current financial year.
When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or
reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest
comparative period will be disclosed.
1 (a) (v) Rounding amounts
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors Reports)
Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in the financial statements have been
rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.
1 (a) (vi) Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the
process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are
disclosed in Note 2 to these financial statements.
1 (b) Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1 (b) (i) Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in
Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at
the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the
transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when
fair values were determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Note 1
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
1 (b) (i) Foreign currency transactions and balances (continued)
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the
extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in
the statement of comprehensive income.
1 (b) (ii) Revenue recognition
Impact of adoption of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2018. Accordingly, the Group applied AASB 15 for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2019.
Changes to the Group’s accounting policies arising from these standards are summarised below.
AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue and related Interpretations and
it applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers, unless those contracts are in the scope of other
standards. The new standard establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with
customers. Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and
circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers.
(a) Rendering of services
The Group operates a number of vehicle panel repair shops which provide services contracted for by
insurance companies. Revenue in respect of these services is recognised as each stage of the vehicle repair
process is completed. Under AASB 15, the Group concluded that revenue from these services will continue to
be recognised over time, using an output method to measure progress towards complete satisfaction of the
service similar to the previous accounting policy, because the customer simultaneously receives and
consumes the benefits provided by the Group.
(b) Sale of goods
The group is also a manufacturer and wholesale distributor of alloy vehicle protection equipment, automotive
and electrical accessories products. The Group’s contracts with customers for the sale of its products
generally include one performance obligation. The Group has concluded that revenue from sale of goods
should be recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on
delivery of the goods. Therefore, the adoption of AASB 15 did not have an impact on the timing of revenue
recognition.
As the introduction of this standard did not have any material impact on the Group’s financial statements,
accordingly there are no retrospective adjustments.

1 (b) (ii) Revenue recognition (continued)
New Accounting Standard adopted by the Group from 1 July 2018
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised so as to depict the transfer of promised services to
customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognised in accordance with the following five-step process:
Identifying the contract with the customer.
Identifying the performance obligations in the contract.
1.
2.
3. Determining the transaction price.
4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5. Recognising revenue as and when the performance obligations are satisfied.
Panel Repair Services
Revenue arising from these services relate to performance obligations satisfied over time and as such
recognised on progressive basis. Output method is used to recognise revenue from such contracts on the
basis of amounts invoiced to the customer for the services rendered during the period. This is because
management believes that the amounts invoiced represent the value of output transferred to the customer.
Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change.
Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period
in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management. Jobs completed and
yet to be invoiced are reflected as a receivable until billed. Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly
basis and consideration is payable when invoiced.
Sale of goods - wholesale
The group manufactures and sells a range of goods in the wholesale market. Sales are recognised when
control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the wholesaler, the
wholesaler has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled
obligation that could affect the wholesaler’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products
have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the
wholesaler, and either the wholesaler has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the
acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have
been satisfied.
Some goods are sold with retrospective volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a specified period.
Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated
volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the
expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a
significant reversal will not occur.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is
unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Sale of goods – retail
The group sells automotive accessory products both online and through retail premises. Revenue from the
sale of goods is recognised when a group entity sells a product to the customer. Payment of the transaction
price is due immediately when the customer purchases the goods.
Interest revenue
This revenue is recognised using the effective interest method. It includes amortisation of any discount or
premium.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Grants
and subsidies are recognised as income over the period to which they relate.
Contract assets and receivables
The group presents any unconditional rights to consideration separately as a receivable while those rights
arising from satisfaction of performance obligations in a contract are presented as contract assets. A right to
consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is
due. Contract assets are measured at the actual amount of transaction price.
1 (b) (iii) Income tax
The income tax expense/(income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred
tax expense/(income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated
using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period.
Current tax liabilities/(assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from)
the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the
profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also
result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income
tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination,
where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

1 (b) (iii) Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which Management expects to recover
or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent
that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset
can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint
ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temp-
orary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax
assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable
entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and
settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of
deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax consolidation
AMA Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated
group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax
assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation.
Current tax liabilities /(assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the
subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office
that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 September 2006.
1 (b) (iv) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-
term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial
position.
1 (b) (v) Inventories
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for, as follows:
• Raw materials: purchase cost on a first-in/first-out basis
• Finished goods and work in progress: cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate
proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure
Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

1 (b) (vi) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less any accumulated depreciation.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually to ensure it is not in excess of the
recoverable amount from these assets.
Depreciation is calculated on either a straight line or diminishing value basis (class or asset must have either
a straight line or diminishing value not both) as considered appropriate to write off the net cost or re-valued
amount of each item of plant and equipment over its expected useful life to the Group. The expected useful
lives are as follows:
Leasehold improvements
The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties is amortised over the unexpired life of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the improvement to the Group, whichever is the shorter.
Plant and equipment
The expected useful life of purchased plant and equipment is two to fifteen years. Where items of plant and
equipment have separately identifiable components which are subject to regular replacement, those
components are assigned useful lives distinct from the item of plant and equipment to which they now relate.
Furniture and equipment
The expected useful life of furniture and equipment is two to ten years.
Motor vehicles
The expected useful life of motor vehicles is four to eight years.
1 (b) (vii) Leases
A distinction is made between finance leases which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee
substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased non-current assets, and operating
leases under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the present value of minimum
lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and
the finance costs.
The leased asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, or where it is likely that the
Group will obtain ownership of the asset, the life of the asset. Leased assets held at the reporting date are
being amortised over periods ranging from three to five years.
Other operating lease payments are charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which
they are incurred, as this represents the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.

1 (b) (viii) Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the
sum of:
the consideration transferred;
•
• any non-controlling interest; and
•
the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest, over the acquisition date fair value of
net identifiable assets acquired.
The value of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100%
interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the aforementioned non-controlling interest. The
Group can elect to initially measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill
method) or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets
(proportionate interest method). The Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition based on
the entitlement of non-controlling interest to a proportionate share of the subsidiary net assets.
Under the full goodwill method, the fair values of the non-controlling interests are determined using valuation
techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill
attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates
is included in investments in associates.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units or groups of
cash generating units, which represent the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored but where such level is
not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying
amount of goodwill related to the entity sold.
Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect
the carrying values of goodwill.
Research and Development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of obtaining new or scientific or technical
knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an expense
when it is incurred.
Expenditure on development activities, being the application of research findings or other knowledge to a plan
or design for the production of new or substantially improved products or services before the start of
commercial product or use, is capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the product or
service will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. Expenditure on
development activities have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future
economic benefits over the useful economic life of the product or service.

Patents and trademarks
Patents and trademarks are recognised at the cost of acquisition. Patents and trademarks have a finite life
and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks
are amortised over their estimated useful life of 5 years.
Customer contracts
Customer contracts are recognised at the fair value at acquisition. Customer contracts have a finite life and
are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Customer contracts are
amortised over the lesser of the remainder of the contract or their estimated useful life relevant to each
specific contract.
1 (b) (ix) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be
impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information. If
such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount
of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s
carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the
statement of comprehensive income.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
1 (b) (x) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the
financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-45 days of
recognition. Other payables not due within a year are measured less cumulative amortisation calculated
using the effective interest method.
1 (b) (xi) Onerous leases
Represents contracts entered into in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the
contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. The excess of the lease obligations
over the expected economic benefits is expensed in the period that the contract becomes onerous. The
liability represents the present value of the minimum lease payments and is held on the statement of financial
position until it is extinguished.

1 (b) (xii) Finance costs
Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Finance costs include
interest on:
• Short term and long term borrowings
• Finance leases
1 (b) (xiii) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of
the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration
required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
1 (b) (xiv) Employee benefits
Wages and salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be wholly
settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in other payables and provisions in
respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts
expected to be paid when the liabilities are wholly settled.
Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in provisions and is measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date
at present value. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee
departures and periods of service.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Fair value is measured
by use of an option pricing model. The expected value used in the model is adjusted, based on Management’s
best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, other risk factors and behavioural
considerations.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability equal to the portion of the goods or services received is
recognised at the current fair value determined at the end of the reporting period.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or
options, or for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase
consideration.
1 (b) (xvi) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at
the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at the end of the
reporting period.
1 (b) (xvii) Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses and results in
the consolidation of its assets and liabilities.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination
involving entities or businesses under common control. The acquisition method requires that for each
business combination one of the combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. the Company). The
business combination will be accounted for as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the
acquiree is obtained by the Company. At this date, the Company recognises, in the consolidated accounts,
and subject to certain limited exceptions, the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised where a present
obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.
The acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The method
adopted for the measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be
recognised in the acquiree where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.
The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition
date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate
financial statements. Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities
incurred by the acquirer to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive
income. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other
comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

1 (b) (xvii) Business combinations (continued)
Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either
a financial liability or equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of
consideration previously paid are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent
consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within
equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair
value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the change in value can be identified as
existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of
comprehensive income.
1 (b) (xviii) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued
during the year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take
into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no
consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
1 (b) (xix) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In this case it is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount
of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included in other receivables or other payables in the
Statement of Financial Position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows.

Impact of adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 Financial Instruments became effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
Accordingly, the Group applied AASB 9 for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2019. Changes to the
Group’s accounting policies arising from these standards are summarised below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139’s ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting
for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. It makes major
changes to the previous guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and introduces
an ‘expected credit loss’ model for impairment of financial assets.
On 1 July 2018 (the date of initial application of AASB 9), the group’s management has assessed which
business models apply to the financial assets held by the group and has classified its financial instruments
into the appropriate AASB 9 categories. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt
instruments are solely comprised of principal and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as
at the initial recognition of the assets. The main effects resulting from this reclassification are as follows:

The accounting for the Group’s financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was under AASB 139. Similar
to the requirements of AASB 139, AASB 9 requires contingent consideration liabilities to be treated as
financial instruments measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognised in the statement of
profit or loss.
There is no impact on retained profits from the transition to AASB 9 since there has been no change in the
measurement basis of the Group’s financial instruments. There is no reconciliation of loss allowance since
there was no material change to this account.
The Group’s adoption of AASB 9 has not had a material effect on the Group.

New Accounting Standard adopted by the Group from 1 July 2018
Classification and measurement
The Group initially measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value plus, in the case of a financial
instrument not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.
Under AASB 9, debt financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss
(FVPL), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The classification is
based on two criteria: the Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’
contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount
outstanding (the ‘SPPI criterion’).
Financial assets
The classification and measurement of the Group’s debt financial assets are, as follows:
Debt instruments at amortised cost for financial assets that are held within a business model with the objective
to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. This
category includes the Group’s Trade and other receivables, and Loans included under Other non-current
financial assets.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
less principal repayments;
•
•
• plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised
and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and
less any reduction for impairment.
•
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period
and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees,
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably
predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or
financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying
value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
Debt instruments at FVOCI, with gains or losses recycled to profit or loss on derecognition. Financial assets in
this category are the Group’s quoted debt instruments that meet the SPPI criterion and are held within a
business model both to collect cash flows and to sell.
Other financial assets are classified and subsequently measured, as follows:

Note 1
Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
1 (b) (xx) Financial instruments (continued)
Equity instruments at FVOCI, with no recycling of gains or losses to profit or loss on derecognition. This
category only includes equity instruments, which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and
which the Group has irrevocably elected to so classify upon initial recognition or transition. The Group
classified its unquoted equity instruments as equity instruments at FVOCI. Equity instruments at FVOCI are
not subject to an impairment assessment under AASB 9.
Financial assets at FVPL comprise derivative instruments and quoted equity instruments which the Group had
not irrevocably elected, at initial recognition or transition, to classify at FVOCI. This category includes debt
instruments whose cash flow characteristics fail the SPPI criterion or are not held within a business model
whose objective is either to collect contractual cash flows, or to both collect contractual cash flows and sell.
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of
the financial year and which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30-45 days
of recognition. Other payables not due within a year are measured less cumulative amortisation calculated
using the effective interest method.
Loans are initially recognised at their fair value plus transaction costs. Interest is accrued over the period it
becomes due and unpaid interest is recorded as part of current payables.
Interest free loans are recorded at their fair value. Discounted cash flow models are used to determine the fair
values of the loans.
All non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised
cost.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted financial instruments, including recent arm’s length
transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
Impairment of financial assets is recognised based on the lifetime expected credit loss which is determined
when the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. In order to
determine whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the entity
compares the risk of default as at the reporting date with risk of default as at initial recognition using
reasonable and supportable data, unless the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the
reporting date.

Contract Assets and Trade and other receivables
For Contract Assets and Trade and other receivables (both classified as current and non-current), the
Group has applied the standard’s simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime
expected credit losses. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s
historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the
economic environment.
De-recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the
asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing
involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised
where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the
carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in
profit or loss.
1 (b) (xxi) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered
highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell,
except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and
investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are
specially exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to
fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell
of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A
gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is
recognised at the date of de-recognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while
they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal
group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale and
the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the
statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented
separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for
sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a
single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired
exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
1 (c) New accounting standards for application in future periods
In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by
the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the “AASB”) that are relevant to their operations and effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2018.
The adoption of all new and revised Standards and Interpretations did not affect the amounts reported for the
current or prior periods. In addition, the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations have not
had a material impact and not resulted in change to the Group’s presentation of or disclosure in these
financial statements.
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the
Group, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when
adopted in future periods, are discussed below:
AASB 16: Leases (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2019)
AASB 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting
treatments for both lessors and lessees. AASB 16 will supersede the current lease guidance including AASB
117 Leases and the related interpretations when it becomes effective. AASB 16 distinguishes leases and
service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. Distinctions of
operating leases (off balance sheet) and finance leases (on balance sheet) are removed for lessee
accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be
recognised for all leases by lessees (i.e. all on balance sheet) except for short-term leases and leases of low
value assets.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain
exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the
lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the
impact of lease modifications, amongst others.
The classification of cash flows will also be affected as operating lease payments under AASB 117 are
presented as operating cash flows; whereas under the AASB 16 model, the lease payments will be split into a
principal and an interest portion which will be presented as financing and operating cash flows respectively.
Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by AASB 16.
The Group’s assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease under AASB 16,
and hence the Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these
leases unless they qualify for low value or short-term leases upon the application of AASB 16.
The new requirement to recognise a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability is expected to have a
significant impact on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The Group will
apply the new standard using the simplified approach from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019 and
has determined that it will recognise a right of use asset in the range of $237.4 million to $244.7 million and a
lease liability in the range of $237.4 million to $244.7 million, with an impact on net assets of $0.

1 (c) New accounting standards for application in future periods (continued)
AASB 2017-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Prepayment Features with Negative
Compensation (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
This standard amends AASB 9 to clarify that an entity may pay or receive compensation for early termination
of a contract irrespective of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract and
includes a case where a party chooses to terminate a contract earlier than the contractual term.
The standard requires different disclosures on transition to these amendments when an entity does not apply
these amendments at the same as the date of transition to AASB 9.
This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
AASB 2017-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint
Ventures to Australian Accounting Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2019).
This standard amends AASB 128 to clarify that an entity should apply AASB 9 to other long-term interests in
an associate that is equity accounted. When applying AASB 9 the entity should ignore adjustments to the
carrying amount of the long-term interest due to application of AASB 1128.
This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group.
AASB 2018-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2015–2017 Cycle
(applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
The Standard amends:
(a) AASB 3 to clarify that an entity remeasures its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains
control of the business;
(b) AASB 11 to clarify that an entity does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when
it obtains joint control of the business;
(c) AASB 112 to clarify that an entity accounts for all income tax consequences of dividend payments
according to where the entity originally recognised the past transactions or events that generated the
distributable profits; and
(d) AASB 123 to clarify that an entity treats any borrowing originally made to develop a qualifying asset as
part of general borrowings when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group as the
existing accounting policies of the Group are already aligned with the amendments.

AASB 2018-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Plan Amendment, Curtailment or
Settlement (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
This amendment Standard amends AASB 119 to clarify how an entity accounts for defined benefit plans when
a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments require an
entity to use the assumptions used for the re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability or asset to
determine the current service cost and the net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after a plan
event occurs. The Standard also clarifies that, when a plan event occurs, an entity recognises the past service
cost or a gain or loss on settlement separately from its assessment of the asset ceiling
This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group as the
existing accounting policies of the Group are already aligned with the amendments.
AASB 2018-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business (applicable to
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020).
The Standard amends AASB 3 to clarify the definition of a business, assisting entities to determine whether a
transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. The amendments:
(a) clarify that to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a
minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create
outputs;
(b) remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing inputs or
processes and continuing to produce outputs;
(c) add guidance and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantive process has been
acquired;
(d) narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs by focusing on goods and services provided to
customers and by removing the reference to an ability to reduce costs; and
(e) add an optional concentration test that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of
activities and assets is not a business.
Earlier application of the standard is permitted.
This standard is prospectively applicable to transactions with acquisition date occurring on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period commencing on or after 1 January 2020. The directors are not
aware of any material contractual arrangements that would result in asset acquisitions occurring on or after 1
July 2020 and that are expected to be impacted by this amendment.

Revised Conceptual Framework and related amendments under AASB 2019-1 (applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020).
Among the many changes brought about by the revised conceptual framework issued by AASB, the following
are some of the key changes:
• New definitions for the terms ‘prudence’ and ‘measurement certainty’;
• New description of the scope and objective of financial statements and redefining the term ‘reporting
entity’. A reporting entity is an entity that chooses or is required to prepare financial statements and not
necessarily a legal entity;
• Altogether new definition for the term ‘assets’, ‘liabilities’ and ‘income and expenses’; More guidance on
deciding the ‘unit of account’ and regarding executory contracts;
• New definition for the terms ‘recognition’ and ‘de-recognition’;
•
Introduction of two measurement basis viz. historical measurement basis and current value measurement
basis such as fair value, value in use, fulfilment value and current cost; and
• Guidance on presentation and disclosure of income and expenses in P/L and OCI (including subsequent
recycling to P/L).
This standard is prospectively applicable to the entity for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July
2020. Although the directors expect there may be material impact on account of the new conceptual
framework, it is impracticable to determine a reasonable impact on application of the new conceptual
framework.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
When preparing the financial statements, Management undertakes various judgements, estimates and
assumptions concerning the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The
resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equate with the related actual results. The following
are significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in applying the accounting policies of the Group
that have the most significant effect on the financial statements.
Impairment of Goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating
units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the
future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to
calculate present value. Refer to Note 12 for details of key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable
amount of goodwill. The Group is yet to finalise the acquisition accounting for certain of its current year
acquisitions and will seek to do so over the twelve months post acquisition. The value attributed to Goodwill
may therefore change in future periods.
Fair value of Contingent vendor consideration
The carrying value of the Contingent vendor consideration, payable as a result of the acquisition of
businesses and entities, incorporate a number of assumptions. In determining this value, Management have
applied a discount factor and a probability factor on the earn-out components to determine the fair value. The
interest expense and the fair value adjustment have been taken to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The fair value of this contingent consideration liability is measured using a discounted cash flow methodology
applying the Group’s cost of capital. In making this assessment, it has been assumed, that where the
arrangement is subject to a cap, the business will meet the pre-specified target and the maximum will be
payable. Where the arrangement is not subject to a cap, Management have determined an estimate of the
likely outcome, based on the possible average profit outcomes that may be achieved, weighted by the
probability of each scenario.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Share-based payments plans
The cost of share-based payments plans (including options) is determined on the basis of the fair value of the
equity instrument at grant date. Determining the fair value assumes choosing the most suitable valuation
model for these equity instruments, by which the characteristics of the grant have a decisive influence. This
assumes also the input into the valuation model of some relevant judgments, like the estimated expected life
of the option and the volatility of the underlying share.
Provision for Make Good
Provisions for Make Good are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the
expenditure required to remove any leasehold improvements at the end of the respective lease. The discount
rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Segment Information
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by
the Board and Executive Management in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings since the
diversifications of the Group’s operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance
assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.
Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are
considered to have similar economic characteristics with respect to the products sold and/or services provided
by the segment.
The Group only operates within one geographical area, Australasia, and has historically been segmented by
the products it provides, being:
• Vehicle Panel Repair - Motor vehicle panel repairs.
• Manufacturing - Manufacture of motor vehicle protection products and Ute/Commercial accessories.
• Distribution - Distribution of automotive electrical & 4WD accessories.
• Remanufacturing - Motor vehicle component remanufacturing & repairs.
• Workshop - automotive workshops and performance products.
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported with respect to operating segments are determined in
accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. All inter-segment transactions are eliminated on
consolidation for the Group’s financial statements.
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the
majority of economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable
on the basis of their nature and physical location.
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a
whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct
borrowings.
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments, as
they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:
income tax expense;
• non-recurring items of revenue or expense;
•
• deferred tax assets and liabilities;
• other financial liabilities;
•
fixed manufacturing & service costs and other cost of sales adjustments;
finance costs;
•
• dividend payments;
•
intangible assets; and
• discontinued operations.

Past due but not impaired
The Group has not recognised a loss allowance for the below balances as there has been no significant
change in the customer’s credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The balances relate
to a number of customers for whom there is no recent history of default.

Customers with balances past due but without expected credit loss at 30 June 2019 amount to $6.193 million
(2018: $5.604 million). Management do not consider that there is any credit risk on the aggregate balances
after reviewing credit agency information and recognising a tacit extension to the recorded credit terms of
customers based on recent collection practices. The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade
terms (as detailed in table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

The Group is yet to finalise the acquisition accounting for the majority of its current year acquisitions and the
value attributed to Goodwill may change in future periods.
The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit above is determined based on value-in-use
calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a five-year
period with the period extending beyond five years extrapolated using an estimated growth rate. The cash
flows are discounted using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) (Pre-tax Discount rate) of the
Company at the beginning of the budget period.

Note 12
Intangible Assets (continued)
The following key assumptions were used in determining the recoverable amount of goodwill:
Vehicle Panel
Repair
Manufacturing
Distribution Remanufacturing
Pre-tax discount rate %
Year 1 EBITDA growth rate %
Terminal growth rate %
6.60
31.7

16.2
2.00
7.90
34.1

Management has based the value-in-use calculations for the CGUs on budgets and Management’s best
estimates of future growth rates, and what it believes will occur in future years. The value-in-use models are
most sensitive to the following assumptions:
• Discount rate;
• Year 1 EBITDA growth rates; and
• Terminal growth rates.
Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.
Management has based the starting point for the value-in-use calculations on the FY20 budgets for each
reporting segment. These budgets use a combination of historical growth rates and Management’s best
estimates of expected future growth rates. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins
and Management’s best estimates of expected future gross margins, and average inflation, which is
consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate.
Management has made the following considerations in respect of the Year 1 EBITDA growth rate:
Segment
Consideration
Vehicle Panel
Repair
Management has factored in the highly acquisitive nature of this division and growth
plans to further consolidate the industry.
Manufacturing
Management has estimated a modest growth in revenue with continued focus on
production efficiencies and manufacturing processes.
Distribution
Management has estimated growth in revenue and an improved margin due to a
continued focus on increasing the quality of revenue and incorporating cost saving
measures. There is further development of new innovative product ranges, continued
evolution of other brand products to our own brands, and expansion of the solar range,
which has been introduced to several of our national retail chain customers bolstering
future supply to the market. There has also been improved cash conversion within the
Distribution segment.
Remanufacturing
Management has estimated conservative growth in revenue with a focus on customer
expansion.

If the pre-tax discount rate of 7.90% was
1.00% higher, there would be no sign of
impairment.
Year 1 EBITDA
growth rate of 34.1%
Year 1 EBITDA
growth rate of 0.00%
If the Year 1 EBITDA growth rate was 0.00%,
there would be an indicator of impairment of
$709,000.
Year 1 EBITDA
growth rate of 34.1%
Year 1 EBITDA
growth rate of 5.00%
If the Year 1 EBITDA growth rate was 5.00%,
there would be no sign of impairment.
Terminal growth rate

At 30 June 2019, the Group has estimated un-recouped revenue losses of $334,000 (2018: $334,000) and
estimated un-recouped capital losses of $3,528,900 (2018: $3,528,900) which can be carried forward
indefinitely. None of these losses have been brought to account as a deferred tax asset. The benefit of these
losses will only be obtained if:
• The companies derive future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable the
benefits from the deductions for the losses to be realised.
• The companies continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law.
• No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the companies in realising the benefit from the deductions
for the losses.

Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months
The current provision for annual leave is presented as current, since the Group does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all
employees to take the full amount of accrued leave within the next 12 months.
The current provision for long service leave includes all unconditional entitlements where employees have
completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in
certain circumstances. The entire amount is presented as current, since the Group does not have an
unconditional right to defer settlement. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all
employees to take the full amount of accrued long service leave or require payment within the next 12
months.

In a previous financial year, the Group entered into an agreement with a key supplier to purchase product and
services from the supplier over an agreed period of time and receives various preferential benefits; one of
which is a market investment incentive. To satisfy the requirements of this agreement, the Group must
purchase from this supplier in accordance with agreed terms. The incentive is being amortised as this liability
reduces.
During the current year, the Group received a second tranche equal to $30.9 million. At 30 June 2019, an
amount of $12.5 million (2018: $7.1 million) has been classified as current representing the anticipated
reduction in this incentive over the next twelve months.
Lease Liability
The lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets recognised in the statement of
financial position revert to the lessor in the event of default.

Financial risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. These include market risk (including foreign
currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential
adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure
different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest
rate risk and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by Executive Management under policies approved by the Board. Executive
Management identifies, evaluates and mitigates financial risks within the Group's operating units.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group continues to make purchases in foreign currencies and is therefore exposed to foreign currency
risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
The carrying amount of the Group's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at
the end of the reporting period are set out below:

The Group had financial assets denominated in US Dollars of AUD $140,000 as at 30 June 2019 (2018: AUD
$48,000). Based on this exposure, had the Australian Dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US
Dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group's result for the year and equity would have been
$16,000 higher/lower (2018: A$5,000).
The Group had financial assets denominated in NZ Dollars of AUD $820,000 as at 30 June 2019 (2018: AUD

Dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group's result for the year and equity would have been

The Group had financial assets denominated in South African Rand of AUD $14,000 as at 30 June 2019
(2018: Nil). Based on this exposure, had the Australian Dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the
South African Rand with all other variables held constant, the Group's result for the year and equity would
have been $2,000 higher/lower (2018: Nil).
The Group had financial liabilities denominated in US Dollars of AUD $655,000 as at 30 June 2019 (2018:
AUD $316,000). Based on this exposure, had the Australian Dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against
the US Dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group's result for the year and equity would have
been $73,000 higher/lower (2018: A$35,000).
The Group had financial liabilities denominated in NZ Dollars of AUD $101,000 as at 30 June 2019 (2018:
AUD $183,000). Based on this exposure, had the Australian Dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against
the NZ Dollar with all other variables held constant, the Group's result for the year and equity would have
been $11,000 higher/lower (2018: $20,000).
The Group had financial liabilities denominated in South African Rand of AUD $81,000 as at 30 June 2019
(2018: AUD $30,000). Based on this exposure, had the Australian Dollar weakened/strengthened by 10%
against the South African Rand with all other variables held constant, the Group's result for the year and
equity would have been $9,000 higher/lower (2018: $3,000).
There were no assets or liabilities denominated in any other foreign currencies, other than US Dollars, NZ
Dollars or South African Rand as at 30 June 2019 or as at 30 June 2018.
The foreign exchange loss for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $39,000 (2018: $29,000 loss).
The Group does not employ foreign currency hedges and has no official foreign currency policy. If the
transactional value, net asset position and overall exposure were to increase it is likely that a policy will be
adopted to mitigate risk.

Note 24
Financial Instruments (continued)
Price risk
The Group and the Company are not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
The Group and the Company's main interest rate risk arises from short and long-term borrowings. All
borrowings are issued at variable rates and this exposes the Group and the Company to interest rate risk.
The Group and the Company attempt to mitigate this interest rate risk exposure by maintaining an adequate
interest cover ratio and gearing ratio that ensures financing costs are not significant costs. At the end of the
financial year, the Group had bank loans outstanding of $80.6 million (2018: $52.5 million).
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that
portion of loans and borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before tax is
affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
Increase of 50 bps

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its
contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit and
obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding
the value of any collateral or other security, at the end of the reporting period to recognised financial assets, is
the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of
Financial Position and the Notes to the Financial Statements.
As at 30 June 2019 the Group had no significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by
continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets
and liabilities.
The Group has a process of monitoring overall cash balances on a strategic long term basis and at an
operational level on a weekly basis. This is to ensure ongoing liquidity, prompt decision making and allow
proactive communication with its funders.
The Group’s current focus is to ensure it meets debt covenants, reduces debt, reduces costs and focuses on
its current operations in the automotive aftercare market.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of financial instruments as shown in the Statement of Financial Position reflects their fair
value. These financial instruments have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting
the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the
following levels:
• quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
•
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset / liability, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
inputs for the asset / liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
•
The fair value of the financial instruments included in Level 3 of the hierarchy has been determined using
valuation techniques incorporating observable direct and indirect market data relevant to the Company and an
estimation of the probability on paying the full amount.
During the financial year, the Group has acquired various entities and businesses. In undertaking these
acquisitions, the Group has incurred a contingent consideration liability consisting of an obligation to provide
shares in the Company and / or make an additional cash payment to the vendor if the average profits of the
acquisition for the earn-out period exceed a pre-specified target level.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs, the ranges
of those inputs and the relationships of unobservable inputs to the fair value measurement of the Contingent

Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so
that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an
optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group’s capital includes ordinary share capital,
debt facilities, vendor loans and lease liabilities supported by financial assets. There are no externally
imposed capital requirements. The Group may issue new shares or sell assets to either reduce debt or to
invest in income producing assets. This is decided on the basis of maximising shareholder returns over the
long term.

Note 25 Share-Based Payments
On 14 September 2015, the Company agreed to the new AMA Group Limited Employee Equity Plan (the
“Employee Equity Plan”). It was subsequently approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held
on 27 November 2015. It replaces the old Employee Share Option Plan which was last approved by
Shareholders at the 2013 AGM. The Employee Equity Plan was adopted by the Board to ensure it meets the
July 2015 changes to Australian Taxation laws regarding deferred taxation on employee options and
performance rights and to adopt the requirements of ASIC Class Order 14/1000.
The Employee Equity Plan is for the benefit of all staff members employed by the Group, including Directors
and Executive Management. Under the Employee Equity Plan an eligible participant is invited to accept a
right to receive a share or option.

Property leases periods 1 to 5 years (shown as operating leases) are non-cancellable with rent payable
monthly in advance. Contingent rental provisions within lease agreements generally require minimum lease
payments be increased by CPI or a percentage factor. Certain agreements have option arrangements to
renew the lease for an additional term and an option to purchase the premises at the market price at time of
option exercise.
During the previous financial years, the Group acquired businesses that had non-cancellable leases for
property that were deemed by Management to be onerous contracts. In these instances a provision was
raised to reflect the least net cost of exiting from the contract; which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and
any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfil it. This provision will unwind over the remaining
period of the lease terms.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF AMA GROUP LIMITED
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of AMA Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash
flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting
policies, and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001,
including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance
for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our
report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Impairment of Goodwill
Area of Focus
Refer also to Note 1 (Accounting Policy), Note 12
Intangible Assets (Financial Disclosures)
In the prior years the group expanded its activities
through acquisition of businesses. As a result the
group’s net assets include a significant amount of
goodwill.
How our audit addressed the area of focus
Our procedures included:
A detailed analysis of the key changes to the group
to determine the appropriateness of the five
segments and CGUs.
A detailed evaluation of the group’s budgeting
procedures upon which the forecasts are based
and testing the principles and integrity of the
discounted future cash flow models.

ShineWing Australia ABN 39 533 589 331. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation. ShineWing Australia is an independent member of ShineWing
International Limited – members in principal cities throughout the world.
Impairment of Goodwill
Certain of the new and established businesses are (i)
early in their life and/or trading cycles (ii) trading cycle’s
inconsistent (iii) value of businesses questionable, and,
as such, there is a risk that they may not trade in line
with initial expectations and forecasts, resulting in the
carrying amount of goodwill exceeding the recoverable
amount and therefore requiring impairment.
The Directors have determined in the current year that
they have five CGUs and these operate in five
segments.
The recoverable amount of the cash generating units
(CGU) have been calculated based on value-in-use
models. These recoverable amounts use discounted
cash flow forecasts in which Directors make judgements
about certain key inputs. For example, but not limited to
revenue, growth rates and inflation rates are estimated.
Overall, due to the high level of judgement involved, and
the significant carrying amounts involved, we have
determined that the recoverable amount is a key
judgemental area that our audit concentrated on.
Contingent Vendor Consideration
Area of focus
Refer also to Note 1 (Accounting Policy), Note 18 Other
Liabilities and Note 24 Financial Instruments (Financial
Disclosures)
The Group has continued to acquire new businesses
during the current financial period.
Most of the major business purchase agreements
contain earn out clauses for the payment of further
consideration should certain targets be met.
Determining the future payout liability is complex given
earn out considerations relate to purchases of
businesses over a number of financial periods. The
directors estimate of the likely quantum of consideration
which will ultimately be paid includes an assessment of:
The relevant performance metrics of the relevant
business; and
Future expected performance in the ern out periods.
Overall, due to high level of judgement involved, and the
significant carrying amounts involved, we have
determined that the recoverable amount is a key
judgmental area that our audit concentrated on.
Testing the accuracy of the calculation derived
from each forecast model and assessing key
inputs to the calculations such as revenue growth,
discount rates and working capital assumptions.
This is carried out with reference to the Board
approved forecasts, data external to the group and
using our own assessments.
Engaging our own valuation specialists when
considering the appropriateness of the discount
rates and long term growth rates.
Reviewing historical accuracy of original forecasts
made by comparing them with actual results.
We also considered the adequacy of the Group
disclosures in relation to the impairment testing.
How our audit addressed the area of focus
Our procedures included:
Review of the purchase agreements;
Referring to conditions precedent from previous
financial period agreements that have earn outs in
the current financial period and beyond;
Assessing the estimates by the directors at year
end to identify whether they appeared reasonable
based on actual performance to date, of the
businesses acquired;
Challenging the assumptions used and the basis
on which the forecasts have been prepared by the
directors; and
Testing the net present value calculation.
We also considered the adequacy of the Group’s
disclosures in relation to the contingent vendor
considerations.
98
Business Combinations
Area of focus
How our audit addressed the area of focus
Refer also to Note 1 (Accounting Policy), Note 30
Business Combinations (Financial Disclosures)
The Group acquired several businesses which were
considered significant purchases for the Group in the
current period.
Accounting for these transactions is complex and
required significant judgements and estimates by the
directors:
To determine the date of acquisition;
To determine the fair value of assets and liabilities
acquired;
To determine the fair value of deferred vendor
consideration; and
To allocate the purchase consideration to goodwill.
Our procedures included:
Reviewing the sales agreements to understand the
key terms and conditions of the acquisitions;
Assessing the goodwill recognised as a result of the
business combinations (Refer separate KAM above);
Reviewing the unaudited completion accounts used as
the directors determination of fair values of assets and
liabilities purchased at acquisition date; and
Testing the appropriateness of the deferred
consideration (Refer separate KAM above).
We assessed the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures
in respect of the business combinations.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and our
auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and
fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
99
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Group’s internal control.
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the directors.
conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them, all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in
the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion on the Remuneration Report
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 13 to 21 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30

section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in

shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
Commensurate with the spirit of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (3rd
Edition) (principles or recommendations), the Company has followed each recommendation where the Board

All Charters and Policies are available from the Company or on its website at www.amagroupltd.com.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight.
Role of the Board and Executive Management
The Board's role is to govern the Company rather than to manage it. In governing the Company, the Directors
must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. It is the role of executive management to manage
the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and the responsibility of the Board
to oversee the activities of executive management in carrying out these delegated duties. The Board's
responsibilities are detailed in its Board Charter.
Board Appointments
The Company undertakes comprehensive reference checks prior to appointing a director or putting that
person forward as a candidate to ensure that person is competent, experienced, and would not be impaired in
any way from undertaking the duties of director. The Company provides relevant information to shareholders
for their consideration about the attributes of candidates together with whether the Board supports the
appointment or re-election.
The terms of the appointment of a non-executive director, executive directors and senior executives are
agreed upon and set out in writing at the time of appointment.
The Company Secretary
The Company Secretary is accountable directly to the Board, through the chairman, on all matters to do with
the proper functioning of the Board, including agendas, Board papers and minutes, advising the Board and its
committees (as applicable) on governance matters, monitoring that the Board and committee policies and
procedures are followed, communication with regulatory bodies and the ASX and statutory and other filings.
Diversity
The Company is committed to increasing diversity amongst its employees, not just gender diversity. Our
workforce is employed based on the right person for the right job regardless of their gender, age, nationality,
race, religious beliefs, cultural background, sexuality or physical ability.

Company is committed to increasing gender diversity within these positions when appropriate appointments
become available. It is also committed to identifying suitable persons within the organisation and where
appropriate opportunities exist, advance diversity and to support promotion of talented employees into
management positions.
The Company has not set any gender specific diversity objectives as it believes that all categories of diversity
are equally as important within its organisation.

Encourage Enhanced Performance
The performance of the Board, individual directors and executive officers of the Company is monitored and
evaluated by the Board. The Board is responsible for conducting evaluations on a regular basis in line with
these policy guidelines.
An evaluation of the performance of the board was conducted during the year. The evaluation has provided
the board with valuable feedback for future development.
During the year, all directors have full access to all Company records and receive financial and operational
reports at each Board meeting.
Independent Advice
Directors collectively or individually have the right to seek independent professional advice at the Company's
expense, up to specified limits, to assist them to carry out their responsibilities. All advice obtained is made
available to the full Board.
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value.
Structure and Composition of the Board
The Board has been formed so that it has an effective mix of personnel who are committed to discharging
their responsibilities and duties and being of value to the Company.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Board believes that the interests of all shareholders are best served by:
• Directors having the appropriate skills and experience;
• A number of the directors being independent as defined in the ASX Corporate Governance Guidelines;
and
• Some major shareholders being represented on the Board.
Where any director has a material personal interest in a matter, the director will not be permitted to be present
during discussion or to vote on the matter. The enforcement of this requirement is in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001 and aims to ensure that the interests of shareholders, as a whole, are pursued and that
their interest or the director's independence is not jeopardised.
At 30 June 2019 the Board consisted of seven directors - four of the directors being non-executive: Leath
Nicholson, Brian Austin, Simon Moore and Anthony Day. Taking in consideration the ASX’s Principles, the
board has determined that all of the non-executive directors are considered independent. The Company
makes the following comments:
Mr Nicholson: The Company currently has a commercial relationship with a law firm for which Mr Nicholson is
a partner. The legal fees paid to this company for legal due diligence associated with some recent panel
division acquisitions are on an arms-length commercial basis and not considered material from a financial
perspective in light of the Company’s overall expenditure for the period (refer Note 26). The Company
believes that Mr Nicholson’s participation in the legal services provided by his firm are not material and he
exercises independent judgement in his position with the board. Mr Nicholson was not present or able to vote
when the Board discussed or voted on the contracts/fees paid to the associated company. Taking into
consideration the above, the Company considers Mr Nicholson to be independent.
Mr Austin: The Company currently has a commercial relationship with an insurance broking company for
which Mr Austin is the Chairman. The fees paid to this company for brokerage services are on an arms-
length commercial basis and not considered material from a financial perspective in light of the Company’s
overall expenditure for the period (refer Note 26). Mr Austin has no involvement in the provision of the
insurance brokerage services provided by his associated company. The Company believes that Mr Austin
exercises independent judgement in his position with the board. Mr Austin was not present or able to vote
when the Board discussed or voted on the contracts/fees paid to the associated company. Taking the above
into consideration, the Company considers Mr Austin to be independent.
Mr Moore: The Company currently has a relationship with a corporate advisory services firm in which Mr
Moore is a senior partner. The firm have provided due diligence services for potential material acquisitions for
the Company. To date, no fees have been paid to this firm. Any fees payable to this company in the future for
advisory services will be on an arm’s length commercial basis. Mr Moore’s participation in the provision of the
advisory services is not a significant proportion of his time. The Company believes that Mr Moore exercises
independent judgement in his position with the board. Mr Moore has a relevant interest in 20 million ordinary
shares in the Company. Taking the above into consideration, the Company considers Mr Moore to be
independent.
Mr Day: Until October 2017, Mr Day was the CEO of Suncorp Insurance. The Company currently has a
material contractual relationship with Suncorp Insurance. The Company believes that Mr Day exercises
independent judgement in his position with the board and his prior relationship with a material customer is a
benefit to the Company. Mr Day is not able to vote when the Board discusses or votes on any contractual
relationship with the insurer. Taking the above into consideration, the Company considers Mr Day to be
independent.
