Dear Shareholder

It is pleasing to write to you in this, my second year as Chairman, to 
report that Atlas has enjoyed a strong re-bound in earnings over the 
course of the 2015/16 year.

This year’s financial result of a positive $3.76m EBITDA represents a 
significant improvement over 2014/15. This is very heartening for the 
board, and a fitting recognition of the efforts of the Atlas Pearls’ team.

As encouraging as the re-bound is, it is important to acknowledge 
that the 2015/16 result was aided by some favorable external factors – 
particularly:

1. 

Improving pearl market and client appreciation of our pearls, and

2.  An increase in reported revenues realised due to the 

strengthening of the Japanese yen against the Australian dollar.

Together with effective cost management and an engaged team, 
these influences have helped our core financial performance recover 
back to historical levels. I firmly believe that the issues of 2014 are now 
well behind us. 

As most of us know this is a business with a 4 year production cycle, 
and perhaps of more significance than this year’s financial recovery 
is the groundwork that has been done to secure the future of the 
company and provide a platform for growth.  

The impacts of changes in seeding and husbandry practices in 2015 
has resulted in consistently improved post op seeding retention and 
oyster survival, and has the potential to result in increasing harvest 
volumes. In addition, while our expectations around enhanced pearl 
quality from these changes are yet to be reflected in reported financial 
results, harvest of the first of the crops to benefit from these changes 
will occur from December this year. 

From a corporate perspective, we again have a “matter of emphasis” 
note in this report relating to our debt facilities with CBA.  The 
reduction of our debt facility from $5M to $4M though our own 
profitability is a significant achievement of the last year, however the 
core of the debt remains. As advised to the market in June 2016, the 
company’s CBA facilities have been extended to June 2017 and Atlas 
will again reduce borrowings and net debt over the course of this year.  
It is however clear that if we are to make the most of the opportunities 
ahead of us, we must take innovative approaches to making our 
capital structure more robust.  The company has started on this 
process and our improved performance, coupled with our significant 
footprint in Asia, opens up partnering opportunities to do this.  

Having said that, I want to assure all shareholders that the Board is 
acutely aware of the commitment and loyalty shown by shareholders 
in the past, and we will do our best to manage an outcome which has 
the minimum dilutive effect on your existing investment.

Finally, on behalf of my fellow directors, I want to acknowledge the 
incredible performance of our skilled and dedicated employees over 
the past two years. Over that period, and many longer, they have 
shared the highs and lows of the company’s financial performance 
along with you, our shareholders. Throughout they have shown an 
unwavering commitment to your company’s future, and their loyalty 
and knowledge is the company’s greatest asset. The year ahead will 
present both new challenges and opportunities, and with strong, 
supportive leadership from our Managing Director Pierre Fallourd, our 
CFO Trevor Harris, our COO Mark Longhurst, and our Sales Manager 
Tim Jones, we now have in place an outstanding team of people to 
capitalize on the bright future ahead of us.  

Current evolutions at a hatchery level are also promising and are 
expected to provide further opportunities for organic growth in 
seeding numbers 2 to 3 years from now.

Geoff Newman

Chairman 

On a separate topic, the board has assessed its position on our 50% 
owned subsidiary Essential Oils of Tasmania (EOT) based on evaluation 
of offers to purchase our interest. It is our opinion that the company 
adds more strategic value as a diversified revenue stream than the 
offers reflect. The board has taken a prudent approach to valuing 
our interest in this year’s accounts, but remains confident in the 
future possibilities. As a result, Atlas intends to retain this interest and 
together with our Tasmanian partner expand the company’s footprint 
and grow the business into a significant provider of world class 
products into major international markets.

My main focus as CEO of Atlas since being appointed on 24 November 
2014, and now as Managing Director of both Atlas Pearls and Perfumes 
and its subsidiary PT Cendana Indopearls in Indonesia, has been to 
build and maintain a solid communication bridge between the group’s  
operations in Indonesia, Western Australia and Tasmania. 

FOCUS AND CONSOLIDATE

Last year was very much about focusing and consolidating the 
company’s core pearling business, by applying pearling best practices, 
re- aligning processes and further engaging people. Reshaping our 
corporate structure has allowed Atlas Pearls to trim overheads by $856, 
000 or 11% .  Overall operating expenses were reduced from $7 million 
in 2014/15 to $6 million in 2015/16.

The first wave of reforms were geared towards shell management.  
This, along with strong demand and favourable JPY/ AUD exchange 
rates, delivered a 52% turnover increase, and a 400% EBITDA increase 
to reach $18.4m and $3.76m respectively, as well as a return to a more 
historically “normalised” oyster stock valuation.

SHARE AND SUSTAIN

People are driving changes and handling challenges as a result of the 
agility of the organization and its ability to consistently create value.

Effective communication is the key to an efficient value chain along 
which synergies can be developed. At the centre of this value chain 
are skilled, inspired and aligned people. 

Significant efforts have been invested to  provide the right skillset and 
depth of knowledge to the organization by bringing in the right talent.  
While simultaneously ,providing opportunities for the growth of  local 
and expat staff.. 

Atlas has been able to double its pearl production every 5 years since 
it harvested 50,000 pearls in 2000 to reach 300,000 plus in 2015.

The past 12 months have demonstrated the ability of the Atlas team 
to turn around the business and further to that, build the foundations 
on which the company will grow.  Atlas is now well-positioned to take 
hold of  its solid competitive advantage.

This year is about anchoring the company on solid foundations to 
ensure both quantity and quality targets are hit consistently.

Two more waves of improvements are expected between 2017 and 
2020 when, subject to seeding and hatchery reforms, oysters  reach 
harvest time.

We can now consider Atlas Pearls and Perfumes’ growth over the 
next 5 and 10 years with more confidence thanks to the alignment 
and engagement of its people, further pearl quantity and quality 
improvements and overarching strong market support.

Thank you and well done to the Atlas team.

REVEAL AND DELIVER

Our ability to add value to our core product and to aim at the right 
market, at the right time has been another prime area of focus.

Trading revenues grew an outstanding 92% to reach a record $15.4 
million. The combined revenue of  value added activities –primarily 
wholesale and retail- grew 23% to reach a record $2.3million.

Pierre Fallourd 
Managing Director

The streamlining of our jewellery operations led to a significant 
inventory reduction by $1 million, or 79%, to align inventory level 
to the 600 days target, making Atlas pearl jewellery a profitable and 
attractive proposition to retailers and end consumers alike.

Atlas’ perfume arm, Essential Oils of Tasmania,  also delivered a record 
revenue year with a 20% increase to reach $2.5m in revenue and is also 
aiming at growing more value added activities  to boost income.

Going forward, cost efficient sales and marketing initiatives will 
continue to drive Atlas value added endeavours.

There has been an increase in the net assets of the group of $1.85M in 
the year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015 - $4.8M decrease).  

4.2.4 OPERATING RESULTS

Atlas recorded a net profit after tax for the period ended 30 June 2016 
of $0.96M, an increase of $9.1M (30 June 2015 – net loss after tax $8.1M).

The operating revenue for the year ended 30 June 2016 was $18.4M, 
compared to the year ended 30 June 2015 - $12.1M. Pearl sales 
revenue was $16.0M (30 June 2015 - $8.7M), with retail and wholesale 
sales revenue of $1.9M (30 June 2015 - $1.4M). Client appreciation for 
a consistent Atlas product has driven healthy yen/momme pricing at 
Auction, and favourable movements in the exchange rate between 
the Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar have further increased 
gains over this financial year.  Subsequent to the consolidation of Retail 
stores to four in May / June 2015, 2015/16 retail sales decreased by 
10%, but overall operating margins improved significantly due to the 
rationalisation of costs.

Gross Profit percentage overall improved to 54% in 2016 from 50% in 
2015. This gain was predominantly due to revenue gains as operating 
costs remain well controlled and within predicted ranges.

Other operating expenses fell from $7M in 2014/15 to $6M in 2015/16 
as a result of management restructuring and cost cutting efforts in the 
prior year.

The company also reduced its core debt with the CBA from $5M to $4M.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

4.2.5.3  DIVERSIFICATION AND PEARLING BY-PRODUCTS 

6.  EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

4.2.5.1  PEARLING 

Pearling operations in Indonesia continue to perform effectively. 
Unusually warm waters in the growing areas driven by an El Nino 
effect was effectively managed by the farming teams resulting in 
negligible seeded stock losses.

Impacts were felt in juvenile and virgin stocks, with water temperatures 
causing increased losses on sea deployment from hatchery. This had 
implications for 2017/18 numbers available for seeding, however 
stock has been sourced from external providers in the same area and 
internal growth targets are now expected to be met.

Improvements in seeding processes and shell husbandry made in 
2015 are now effectively embedded as standard operating procedures, 
and the company continues to evaluate the effectiveness of second 
operations. The initial shells to benefit from these improved seeding 
techniques are scheduled to be harvested in December 2016.

The second wave of improvements are now focused at a Hatchery 
level. With spat survival a key measure in predicting the availability 
of seedable oysters in any year, improvements in this part of the 
supply chain are critical in the efforts to grow harvest volumes. New 
and experienced staff members from Australia have been recruited 
to roll out industry leading food production systems, and review 
hatchery practices all the way to sea deployment. At the same time 
our hatchery sites are being reviewed in terms of marine environment, 
with alternate/additional sites continually being evaluated.

Harvest profiles continue to recover from 2014/15, with gains seen 
in most quality parameters. This was clearly reflected in two record 
auction results in March and June of this year. With the 16/17 harvest 
falling heavily in the first half of 2017, the company is becoming more 
and more confident that auction results in the New Year will continue 
to reflect the improving harvest profile.

4.2.5.2  PEARLING VALUE ADDED

The Company has continued this year with its efforts to maximise the 
value of its pearl harvest by customising its offerings at wholesale and 
retail levels, both domestically and internationally. While promoting 
our own wholesale sales, the Company is also engaged at an industry 
level to increase the value perception of South Sea Pearls and re-open 
international markets such as South East Asia and the USA.

On a retail level, the company undertook a re-structure of its Bail retail 
offering in June of 2015, closing three retail stores in Bail, retaining one 
retail store in Seminyak, and four farm based industrial tourism stores. 
The Flagship store remains on Bayview Terrace in Claremont, Western 
Australia.

The results of this structure this year has been a minor decline in 
sales volumes, but a significant increase in overall performance of the 
retail division due to the reduced cost base. As disclosed last year, the 
company continued to reduce the holdings of older, slower moving 
inventory via promotions and significant discounts. This process is 
complete, and the coming year is expected to benefit fully from the 
release of new capsule collections, designed both internally and in 
collaboration with international designers. The company remains 
committed to a strong retail presence, with refined efforts to build the 
Atlas brand ongoing.

During the year, the Company evaluated its options in the area of 
diversification of its revenue stream. The company remains committed 
to generating the maximum value from each Oyster, and the 
commercialisation of Mother of Pearl By-Products is a key opportunity. 
Pursuit of commercial outcomes by becoming a key supplier of pearl 
powder and proteins into the international cosmeceutical market 
remains of significant strategic value, and in conjunction with our 
partner Nomad Two Worlds, the company is well advanced to achieve 
this in the next 2 years.

4.2.5.4  NATURAL EXTRACTS

As part of the company’s ongoing focus on core business detailed in last 
year’s annual report, the company placed its 50% ownership in Essential 
Oils of Tasmania (EOT) as for sale during the year. After the evaluation of 
numerous offers, strategic discussions at a board level and discussions 
with our partner Westwood holdings, the Company has decided against 
a sale and made a fresh commitment to develop EOT as a strong 
diversified revenue stream. The Board of Atlas has taken a prudent 
approach to the valuation of Atlas’s interest EOT in this year’s accounts, 
but is driving a strategic assessment of the businesses operations.

EOT will now transition from being a direct farmer to a 100% contract 
farming model, leveraging its relationships within the Tasmanian 
Farming Industry and reducing capital costs. Material increases in 
capacity are being negotiated to deliver economies of scale for 
products competing in the bulk sector, while at the same time efforts 
are being made to refine and expand the company’s footprint in high 
margin retailed niche products, both domestically and internationally.

A number of research projects using Tasmanian grown by-products 
from other farming industries are expected to deliver commercial 
outcomes in the next year, and EOT’s role in the production of pearl 
powder and protein has the potential to add further value as product 
development moves to market release. A place in the evolving 
Medicinal Cannabis industry remains a medium term strategic vision.

7.  LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS    

OF OPERATIONS

The company expects to both consolidate and evolve the gains made 
across the business this year.

Oysters for harvest over the next 2 years are in the water, so the focus 
will be on shell care and cost control and client management to 
see the best possible outcomes over that period. As detailed above, 
the first of the harvests made under our new seeding practices are 
scheduled to be harvested from December 16 onwards and will 
provide significant feedback on the success of the changes.

Looking forward further, current efforts at a hatchery level have the 
possibility of delivering increases in seedable oysters 2 years from now, 
providing an internal platform for growth. In the interim the company 
will also evaluate JV opportunities within the Indonesian archipelago 
with local oyster growers to boost oyster holdings. The company 
intends to pursue a growth agenda while retaining a quality focus.

At a corporate level, the company will continue to reduce its debt 
position via repayments to the CBA from internal cash flows, and 
evaluate opportunities to restructure any remaining debt with minimal 
impacts on existing stakeholders.

Aligned to the company’s strategic and business objectives and 
the creation of shareholder value

13.1.3 

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AND 
FRAMEWORK  CONTINUED...

The executive remuneration framework has three components;
• 
• 
• 

Base pay and benefits, including superannuation
Short-term performance incentives, and
Long-term incentives through participation in the Atlas South Sea 
Pearl Limited Employee Share Plan.

Employment contracts are in place between the Company (or its 
subsidiaries) and all key management personnel.  Under these 
contracts, key management personnel are paid a base salary (which 
may be provided in the form of cash or non-financial benefits) in 
accordance with their skills and experience, as well as entitlements 
including superannuation and accrued annual leave and long service 
leave, in the event of termination.

Executives’ salaries are reviewed annually and are adjusted to take into 
consideration the individuals’ responsibilities and skills compared to 
others within the Company and the industry. There are no guaranteed 
base pay increases in any executives’ contracts.

There were no short or medium term cash incentives provided to any 
executives of the company during the last financial period except 
where noted in section 13.2 of this report.  Short or medium cash 
incentives are incorporated into some executives’ salary packages at 
the time of this report. The framework provides a mix of fixed and 
variable pay with short and medium term incentives. As executives 
gain seniority with the group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher 
proportion of ‘at risk’ rewards.

An Employee Share Plan (ESP) provides some senior executives with 
incentive over and above their base salary (refer 13.5 below).  The 
allocation of shares under the Employee Share Plan (ESP) is not 
subject to performance conditions of the Company.  The reasons for 
establishing the ESP were:
• 

To align the interests of senior management with shareholders.  
The ESP provides employees with incentive to strive for long term 
profitability which is in line with shareholder objectives; and
To provide an incentive for employees to extend their 
employment terms with the company.  Pearl farming is a 
long term business and the experience of long serving senior 
employees is an important factor in the long term success of the 
Company.

• 

Use of remuneration consultants 
During the financial year ended 30 June 2016 the Company did not 
engage any remuneration consultants. 

Voting and comments made that the Company’s 2015 Annual 
General Meeting. 
Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd received more than 98% of “yes” votes on 
its remuneration report for the 2015 financial year.  The Company did 
not receive any specific feedback at the AGM or throughout the year 
on its remuneration.

Relationship between Key Management Personnel Remuneration and 
Performance. 
Each Key Management Personnel is remunerated on an individual 
basis.  Some Key Management Personnel are entitled to bonuses 
based on a percentage of EBITDA.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1  BASIS OF PREPARATION

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative 
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and 
the Corporations Act 2001. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd is a for-profit 
entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial statements cover the consolidated entity of Atlas Pearls 
and Perfumes Ltd and its subsidiaries. Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd is 
a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations 
and its principal activities is included in the review of operations and 
activities in the directors’ report which is not part of these financial 
statements.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 
30 August 2016. The directors have the power to amend and reissue 
the financial statements.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these 
consolidated financial statements are set out below. The accounting 
policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, 
unless otherwise stated.

1.2  COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes 
Ltd group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

1.3  NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED 

BY THE GROUP

None of the new standards and amendments to standards that are 
mandatory for the first time for the financial period beginning 1 July 
2015 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or 
any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods. 

1.4  HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical 
cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial 
assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) 
at fair value through profit or loss and biological assets at fair value less 
cost to sell.

1.5  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements 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 1.32.

1.6  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and 
liabilities of all subsidiaries of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd (“Company” 
or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2016 and the results of its subsidiaries 

for the period then ended.  Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial statement as the 
consolidated entity.  

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which 
the group has control. 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 the 
acquisition of 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 the impairment of the 
asset transferred.  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 statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement 
of financial position respectively.

(i) 

Employee Share Trust

The Group has formed a trust to administer the Group’s employee 
share scheme.  The trust is consolidated, as the substance of the 
relationship is that the trust is controlled by the Group. Shares held by 
Atlas South Sea Pearl Limited Employee Share Trust are disclosed as 
treasury shares and deducted from contributed equity.

(ii) 

Joint Ventures

Joint venture entities

The interest in a joint venture entity is accounted for using the equity 
method after initially being recognised at cost in the consolidated 
statement of financial position. Under the equity method of 
accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and 
adjusted thereafter to recognise the group’s share of the post-
acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the 
group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the 
investee in other comprehensive income. Details relating to the entity 
are set out in note 30.

When the group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment 
equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other 
unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further 
losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf 
of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates 
and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group’s 
interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless 
the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset 
transferred. Accounting policies of equity accounted investees have 
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 
policies adopted by the group. The group treats transactions with 
non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as 
transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership 

Joint venture entities continued...

interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of 
the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative 
interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the 
adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or 
received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable 
to the owners.  

1.7 

INCOME TAX

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on 
the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable tax rate 
for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws 
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in 
the countries where the company’s subsidiaries operate and generate 
taxable income. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis 
of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on 
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial 
statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if 
it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction 
other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction 
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income 
tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or 
substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply 
when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred 
income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax is credited in the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income except where it relates to items that 
may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is 
adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences 
and unused tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences 
and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are offset when there is a legally 
enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when 
the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current 
tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or 
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(a) 

INVENTORIES
Pearls – The cost of pearls grown by the Group is the fair value 
less husbandry costs at the time the pearls are harvested. At each 
reporting date they are valued at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value.

(b)  Nuclei - quantities on hand at the period end are valued at the    

lower of cost and net realisable value.

(c)  Oysters – refer note 1.9.
(d)  Other inventories – including jewellery, fuel, mechanical parts  

and farm spares at the period end are valued at the lower of cost 
and net realisable value. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course 
of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

1.9  BIOLOGICAL ASSETS

Oysters are measured at their fair value less estimated husbandry costs. 
The fair value of these biological assets is determined by using the 
present value of expected net cash flows from the oysters, discounted 
using a pre-tax market determined rate.

Changes in fair value less estimated husbandry costs of these assets 
are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income in the period they arise.

The details of the Biological assets that are held by the economic 
entity as at 30 June 2016 are provided at Note 10.

1.10  PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT

Each class of property, plant & equipment is stated at historical cost less, 
where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their cost, less subsequent 
depreciation for buildings.

Leasehold property is shown at cost and amortised over the shorter 
of the term of the unexpired lease on the property or the estimated 
useful life of the improvements on the property.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation 
and impairment losses.

The carrying value of plant and equipment and their useful lives are 
reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount of these assets which is assessed on the basis 
of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets 
employed and subsequent disposal.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the economic entity 
includes the cost of materials and direct labour.  Repairs and 
maintenance carried out on the assets are expensed unless there is 
a future economic benefit that will flow to the Group which can be 
reliably measured, in which case the value of the asset is increased.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds 
with carrying amount. These are included in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Depreciation

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a 
straight line basis so as to write off the cost or valuation of property, 
plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives commencing 
from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES CONTINUED...

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

1.11  INVESTMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and 
receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale 
financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for 
which the investments were acquired. Management determines the 
classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluates 
this designation at each reporting date.

(a) 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets 
held for trading.  A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired 
principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are 
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.  
Assets in this category are classified as current assets. Realised and 
unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of 
these assets are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

(b) 

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or 
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They 
are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater 
than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-
current assets.  Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the 
statement of financial position.

(c)  Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable 
equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in 
this category or not classified in any of the other categories.  They are 
included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose 
of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date.  Unrealised 
gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly 
to equity. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do 
not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and 
management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

(d)  Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on 
trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or 
sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus 
transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through 
profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or 
loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are 
expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the 
rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired 
or have been transferred and the economic entity has transferred 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(e)  Measurement

At initial recognition, the group measures a financial asset at its fair value 
plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, 
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the 
financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value 
through profit or loss are expensed in the profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value 
through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or 
losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair 
value through profit or loss category are presented in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within 
other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.

(f) 

Impairment

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective 
evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. 
In the case of equity securities classified as available-for –sale, a 
significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below 
its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. A 
financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment 
losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment 
as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial 
recognition of the asset (a ‘loss’ event) and that loss event (or events) 
has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset 
or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

If there is evidence of impairment for any of the Group’s financial 
assets carried at amortised cost, the loss is measured as the difference 
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated 
future cash flows. The cash flows are discounted at the financial asset’s 
original effective interest rate. The loss is recognised in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. If, in a 
subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and 
the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the 
impairment was recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised 
impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income.

1.12  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative instruments are initially measured at fair value on the date 
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured 
to their fair value at each reporting date. Gains and losses arising from 
changes in fair value are taken to the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income.

1.13  IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by 
which the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs 
to sell and value in use. Non financial assets other than goodwill 
that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the 
impairment at each reporting date.

1.14  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(a)  Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the subsidiaries 
within the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the 
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the 
functional currency”).  The consolidated financial statements are 
presented in Australian dollars, which is Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd’s 
functional and presentation currency.

(b)  Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency 
using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions.  
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such 
transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 
recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, except when they are deferred in equity as 
qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are 
attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are 
reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on 
non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value 
through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair 
value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary assets such 
as equities classified as available for sale financial assets are included in 
the fair value reserve in equity.

All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement 
of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within other 
income or other expenses unless they relate to financial instruments.

(c)  Group Companies

The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which 
has the currency of a hyperinflation economy) that have a functional 
currency different from the presentation currency are translated into 
the presentation currency as follows:
1.  Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position 

presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that 
statement of financial position;
Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates;
and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a 
separate component of equity.

2. 

3. 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of 
any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other 
currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, 
are taken to shareholders’ equity.  When a foreign operation is sold 
or borrowings are repaid, a proportional share of such exchange 
differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale.

1.15  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Short Term Obligation

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits 
and accumulating sick leave that are expected to be settled wholly 
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees 
render the related service are recognised 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 settled. The 
liability for accumulating sick leave is recognised in the provision for 
employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations 
are presented as payables.

Wages and salaries, annual leave, sick leave and long service leave 
Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation 
funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Share-based payments 
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via 
the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Share Plan. Information 
relating to this scheme is set out in note 23.

The fair value of shares granted under the Employee Share Plan is 
recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in 
equity. The fair value is measured at the date that the employee enters 
into the plan and is recognised over the period during which the 
employee becomes unconditionally entitled to the shares.

1.16  PROVISIONS

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good 
obligations are recognised when the group has a present legal or 
constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is more likely 
than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the 
obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

1.17  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call 
with financial institutions, other short-term, high liquid investments 
with original maturity or three months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an 
insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

1.18  REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received 
or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade 
allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the 
economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be 
reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also 
be met before revenue is recognised:
(a) 

Sales Revenue comprises of revenue earned from the sale of 
products or services to entities outside the economic entity.  
Sales revenue is recognised when the goods are provided or 
when the fee in respect of services provided is receivable.
Interest Income is recognised as it accrues

(b) 

1.19  LEASES

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risk 
and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the 
period in which they are incurred.

1.20  TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less 
provision for impairment. All trade receivables are generally due for 
settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. 
Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing 
the carrying amount directly. An allowance account – provision for 
impairment of trade receivables, is used when there is objective 
evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due 
according to the original terms of the receivables.

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

1.25  DIVIDENDS

1.29  SEGMENT REPORTING  CONTINUED...

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

POLICIES CONTINUED...

1.20  TRADE RECEIVABLES CONTINUED...

Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, financial reorganisation, 
and default and delinquency in payments, more than 30 days overdue, 
are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The 
Group also considers the long term history of the debtor. The amount 
of the impairment allowance is the difference between the assets 
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short term 
receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income within other expenses. 
When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been 
recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written 
off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts 
previously written off are credited against other expenses in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

1.21  TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided 
to the group prior to the end of financial period which are unpaid. 
The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of 
recognition.

1.22  BORROWINGS

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs 
incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 
Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest 
rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which 
are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw down of the 
facility, are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when 
the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 
expired.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an 
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 
months after the reporting date.

1.23  BORROWING COSTS

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset 
are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete 
and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing 
costs are expensed.

1.24  CONTRIBUTED EQUITY

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the 
consideration received by the Company and recognised in equity.

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are 
recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds 
received.

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being 
appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on 
or before the end of the period but not distributed at reporting date.

1.26  GOODS AND SERVICE TAX (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of 
GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods & services 
is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense item as applicable; and where receivables and payables 
are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority is included as part of receivables in the statement of financial 
position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cashflows on a gross 
basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing 
and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

1.27  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share 

(a) 
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after 
income tax attributable to members 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 
period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during 
the period. The weighted average number of shares used for the basic 
earnings per share calculation is 415,837,428.

(b)  Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figure used in determination of 
basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect 
of interest and other financial 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. The weighted average number of shares used for the 
diluted earnings per share calculation is 421,337,428.

1.28  SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group has identified its operating segments based on internal 
reports that are reviewed and used by the board of Directors and 
management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing 
performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based on 
the manner in which the product is sold, whether retail or wholesale. 
Management also considers the business from a geographical 
perspective and has identified four reportable segments. Discrete 
financial information about each of these operating businesses is 
reported to the board of Directors and management team on at least 
a monthly basis.

The wholesale business is a producer and supplier of pearls within the 
wholesale market. The retail business is the manufacture and sale of 
pearl jewellery and related products within the retail market.

The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting segments are 
the same as those contained in note 1 to the accounts and in the prior 
period except as detailed below:

Inter-entity sale 
Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set transfer 
price. These transactions are eliminated within the internal reports. The 
revenue from external parties reported to the chief operating decision 
maker is measured in a manner consistent with that in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Biological assets and pearl inventories 
These are recognised at cost within the internal reports. 

It is the Group’s policy that if items of revenue and expense are 
not allocated to operating segments then any associated assets 
and liabilities are also not allocated to segments. This is to avoid 
asymmetrical allocations within segments which management believe 
would be inconsistent. 

1.30  COMPARATIVE FIGURES

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have 
been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current 
financial period.

1.31  PARENT ENTITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information for the parent entity, Atlas Pearls and 
Perfumes Ltd, disclosed in note 31 has been prepared on the same 
basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:

(i) 

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial 
statements of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd.

(ii) 

Share-based payments

The grant by the company of ordinary shares to the employees 
of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital 
contribution to that subsidiary undertaking. The fair value of employee 
services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, 
is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in 
subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

1.32  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal 
the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have 
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below. The directors evaluate estimates and judgements 
incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge 
and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable 
expectation of future events and are based on current trends and 
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates – Impairment

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating 
conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets.  
Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the 
asset is determined.  Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing 
recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

– Doubtful debts provision

No provision has been recognised in respect of receivables owed to 
the group for the year ended 30 30 June 2016 or 30 June 2015.

– Impairment of joint venture receivables

A provision has been recognised in respect of the receivable owed to 
the group from its joint venture entity, Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty 
Ltd, of $816,028 for the year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015 - $nil).

– Impairment of jewellery

A provision for jewellery obsolesce of $100,000 is held on the balance 
sheet in respect of the jewellery inventory holdings held by the group at 
30 June 16.  Judgement has been made in determining the amount of the 
provision based on the sales profile and recoverable value of jewellery. 

– Write-off of pearl inventories and jewellery

There was a write-off of $165,036 as at 30 June 2016 
(30 June 2015 – $1,386,517). 

– Determination of net market value of inventories and biological assets

Agricultural assets include pearl oysters, both seeded and unseeded 
and pearls that have been harvested from the oysters which remain 
unsold.  Seeded oysters are measured at their fair value using the 
net present value of expected future net cash flows attributed to 
this inventory less the estimated husbandry costs.  The fair value of 
unseeded oysters is determined by reference to market prices for 
this type of asset in Indonesia.  Pearls are measured at their fair value 
husbandry costs by reference to anticipated market prices for pearls 
upon harvest. Carrying amount of inventories and biological assets are 
disclosed in note 9.

Key assumptions that have been used to determine the fair market 
value of the oysters at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

Average selling price for pearls1

¥ exchange rate
Average pearl size
Proportion of market grade pearls
Discount rate applied to cash flow

Mortality & Rejection rates

1.  Average pearl prices are based on management’s best 

judgement of the quality of pearls in the water at year end.  
Atlas expects the percentage of F-ops harvested to increase 
over the next two years, resulting in the harvest of heavier, 
rounder pearls. Management takes into consideration historical 
averages discounted for potential market volatility when 
calculating the average selling prices for pearls.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

1.  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 

POLICIES CONTINUED...

1.32  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS  

CONTINUED...

Biological assets are valued using estimated future yen rates. Biological 
assets recognised as current assets on the Statement of Financial 
Position represent the estimated value of the pearls to be harvested 
within the next 12 months. The yen rate used is based on the 
estimated yen rates for the next 18 months from Commonwealth Bank 
of Australia.

1.33 GOING CONCERN

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

The net profit after tax for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016 
amounted to a profit of $0.97m (year ended 30 June 2015 $8.1m loss).  

At 30 June 2016 the Group had a working capital balance of $5.7m 
(2015: $3.9m); $5.3m (2015: $3.5m) of this balance comprised of 
unharvested oysters due for harvest during the next 12 months. As 
at the 30 June 2016 the Group had a net asset position of $25.8m 
(2015: $24m); $17.4m (2015: $14.6m) of this balance comprised of 
unharvested oysters.  

The company extended debt facilities with CBA in June 2015, with an 
agreed repayment plan of $1m over the course of the year to June 
2016. This repayment plan was met in full.

The company has announced it has agreed, on all material terms, with 
the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for an extension of its current 
Debt Facility through to 30 June 2017. This will entail:

- Continuation of the existing covenants;

Annual Normalised EBITDA greater than $1.5m.

• 
•  Minimum net worth of AUD $18m
• 

Ratio of net-worth equal to or greater than 60%

- Atlas to provide CBA with monthly updates on debt repayment 
activities and trading updates.

- Principle repayment plan of $4m during the FY16/17 with the 
schedule of repayments as follows:

Date of Repayment
31 October 2016
31 December 2016
28 April 2017
30 June 2017
Total

Repayment Amount
$250,000
$250,000
$1,250,000
$2,250,000
$4,000,000

The new agreement is expected to formalised and signed off with CBA 
in September 2017.

However, without:
• 

the refinancing of existing credit and debt facilities of the Group 
by 30 June 2017;
the international market for wholesale loose white south sea 
pearls maintaining existing demand levels and pricing;
the Group meeting its auction forecasts;
the Group generating profitable operations with positive cash flows; 
the realisation of assets at amounts greater than their carrying 
values, and/or
the raising of debt or equity

• 

• 
• 
• 

• 

There is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt over the 
groups’ ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be 
required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in 
the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that different from 
those in the financial statements.

On this basis and considering the options available to the Group, the 
directors declared on page 64 that there are reasonable grounds to 
believe that the Group can pay its debts, as and when they fall due.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 
to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the 
amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosure that 
may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going 
concern.

4.  INCOME TAX EXPENSE CONTINUED...

(b)  Past due but not impaired

e) During the period the company received assessments in relation 
to the PT. Cendana Indopearl tax returns in relation to the 2008, 2011 
and 2012 calendar years. The net result of the assessments, including 
penalties, was a charge of $606,445; this has been brought to account 
in the income tax charge for the year ending 30 June 2016. Please refer 
to note 22 for contingencies in relation to historical tax affairs.

As at 30 June 2016, trade receivables of $134,491 (2015: $211,586) 
were past due but not impaired in the Group. Within the Group these 
relate to a small number of independent customers for whom there is 
no recent history of default. Given the past history with this customer 
no impairment has been recognised in the financial period. The ageing 
analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:

    -

These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the normal 
operating activities of the Group. Collateral is not normally obtained. 

(d)  Foreign exchange and interest rate risk

421,337,428 339,521,538

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk in 
relation to trade and other receivables is disclosed in note 32.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated after taking into consideration 
all options and any other securities that were on issue that remain 
unconverted at 30 June 2016 as potential ordinary shares which may 
have a dilutive effect on the profit of the Consolidated Group.

(e)  Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying 
amount is assumed to approximate their fair value. 

Ordinary shares issued to employees under the Employee Share Plan 
are considered to be potential ordinary shares and have been included 
in the determination of diluted earnings per share to the extent that 
they are dilutive.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the 
carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned above. Refer 
to note 32 for more information on the risk management policy of the 
Group and the credit quality of the entity’s trade receivables.

(a) 

Instruments used by the Group

The Group is party to derivative financial instruments in the normal 
course of business in order to hedge a proportion of the exposure to 
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates in accordance with the Groups 
financial risk policies (refer note 32).

Derivative financial assets and liabilities comprise forward exchange 
contracts and an embedded derivative in the convertible note 
agreements. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value 
of foreign exchange hedging contracts and convertible notes are 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income in the period in which they arise.  

The Groups operating expenses mainly consist of materials and 
services purchased in Indonesian Rupiah. During the period ended 
30 June 2016 the Group did not enter into any forward exchange 
contracts to purchase Indonesian Rupiah. The sale of pearls is

denominated in Japanese Yen and so the Group has entered into 
forward exchange contracts and options to sell Japanese Yen and 
receive Australian Dollars.

See note 1.12 for details of accounting policy in relation to derivatives.

market value of the oysters during the period is reflected as follows:

Sensitivity analysis - Oysters 
The mark to market estimation of the value of the biological assets 
(Oysters) is determined using the net present value of expected 
future net cash flows attributed to this inventory less the estimated 
husbandry costs. The primary assumptions used for this estimate are 
shown in Note 1.32. The following table summarises the potential 
impact of changes in the key non-production related variables:

The Group is exposed to financial risk in respect of its involvement 
in primary production which consists of the breeding and rearing of 
oysters for the purpose of producing pearls. The primary financial risk 
associated with this activity occurs due to the length of time between 
the expenditure of cash in relation to the operation of the farm and 
the harvesting of the pearls and realisation of cash receipts from the 
sales to third parties.  The Group ensures that it maintains sufficient 
working capital to ensure that it can sustain its operation through any 
delays in cash flow that may be reasonably foreseen.

Level 3 analysis: The finance and operations departments undertake the 
valuation of the oysters. The calculations are considered to be level 3 
fair values. The data is taken from internal management reporting and 
work completed by the executive within the respective field teams 
to determine the material inputs to the model. The inputs below are 
confirmed with the relevant executives and agreed with the Board of 
Directors every six months. The main level 3 inputs used by the group

replacement costs in the coming year.

Other commitments/guarantees

June 2015: $100,000). This guarantee has been taken out to secure the 
rental of the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes corporate offices in Claremont, 
Western Australia.

22.   CONTINGENCIES

The company’s historical tax affairs are regularly subject to audit by 
the Indonesian Tax Office and this process remains ongoing. There 
is the possibility that this review programme may result in future tax 
liabilities in relation to prior year tax returns. All assessments received 
to date have been brought to account, but no provision has been 
booked in relation to periods currently under review due to the 
inherent uncertainty of the outcomes. 

23.   SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

the Board of Directors to offer shares to key management personnel 
within the Group.  A total of 1,100,000 shares were issued during 2007 
to six (6) employees including the managing director at a price of 40 
cents per share which was a one (1) cent and eight (8) cent discount 
to the market at the dates of issue being 17th April 2007 and 10th May 
2007 respectively.  An interest free, non-recourse loan was provided 
to the key management staff to pay for these shares.  This loan will be 
repaid by the employees from the proceeds of dividends that they are 
entitled to from the ownership of the shares.  50% of the shares vested 
to the employees after two (2) years employment from the time of 
issuing the shares and the remaining 50% vested to the employees 

after they have completed three (3) years of employment from the 
time of issuing the shares.  Employees are only entitled to the shares if 
the loan is repaid in full.

1,900,000 shares remain on issue as at 30 June 2016 with debt of 
$375,000 outstanding by employees from the initial loan of $1,063,500 
that was made when the shares were allocated to employees.  

Shares issued to the employees are acquired and held in trust for the 
employees. Shares held by the trust and not yet issued to employees 
at the end of the reporting period are shown as treasury shares in the 
financial statements.

The fair value of shares issued under the scheme is independently 
determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model that takes into 
account the exercise price, the term of the share, the impact of 
dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of 
the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free 
interest rate for the term of the share.

The shares rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares. Where 
shares are issued to employees of subsidiaries of the Group, the 
transactions are treated in accordance with the accounting policy at 
note 1.16.

Board of Directors.

The Corporate Governance Council Guidelines recommend that 
remuneration packages involve a balance between fixed and incentive 
pay reflecting short and long-term performance objectives appropriate 
to the Company’s circumstances and goals. The Board considers that 
the Plan will assist the Company in structuring the remuneration 
packages of its executives in accordance with the Guidelines.

The amount of options that will vest depends on the individual’s Key 
Performance Indicators. An option which has vested but has not been 
exercised will immediately lapse upon the first to occur of:
(i) 
(ii) 

Close of business on the Expiry Date;
The transfer or supported transfer of the Option in breach of 
Clause 7(a) of the plan;

(iii)  Termination of the Participant’s employment or engagement 

with the Company or an Associate Body Corporate on the basis 
that the Participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of 
the Participant’s obligations or otherwise for cause; and

(iv)  The day which is six months after an event which gives rise to a 

vesting under clauses 4(a) to 4(d) of the plan.

Options are granted under the plan for no consideration. Options 
granted under the plan carry no dividend or voting rights.  When 
exercisable, each option is convertible into one ordinary. The options 
expire on the 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2018. 

The exercise price of options is based on 143% (June 2015: 143%) of 
the volume weighted average share price at which the company’s 
shares are traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) during the 
week up to and including the date of the grant.

Fair value of options granted

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the 
year ended 30 June 2015 was $0.16 (5,500,000 options) and $0.51 
(2,000,000) (2014: $0.20).  The fair value at grant date is independently 
determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes 
into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of 
dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of 
the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free 
interest rate for the term of the option.

The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 
2015 and 30 June 2014 are detailed below.

On the 24th of February 2014 7,500,000 options exercisable at $0.0858 
each on or before 31 December 2016 were issued to employees and

Explanatory Memorandum ratified at the Extraordinary General Meeting 
held on the 13th of May 2014. The options issued on the 24th of February 
have a fair value of $0.020. This valuation imputes a total value of 
approximately $151,720 for the proposed Options. The value may go up 
or down as it will depend in part on the future price of a Share.

The Black & Scholes methodology has been used, together with the 
following assumptions:

individual’s Key Performance Indicators.  Vested options are 
exercisable for a period of six months after vesting or the earlier 
of 31 December 2016.

Where options are issued to employees of subsidiaries within the 
group, the subsidiaries compensate Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd for 
the amount recognised as expense in relation to these options.

Expenses arising from share-based payment transactions

Total expenses arising from share-based payment transactions and 
option related valuation expenses recognised during the period as 
part of employee benefit expense were as follows:

The share based payment expenses arising from the salary sacrifice 
share plan is nil as the plan does not give additional benefit to the 
employees as shares are issued in lieu of cash salary and cash bonus.  
The value of the shares originally issued to the trust is at the value 
sacrificed by the employee under the plan.

to Atlas. At 30 June 2016, there is loan balance of $72,961 (30 June 
2015: $72,961) owing to World Senses from Perl’Eco. This balance 
consists of pearl jewellery sold to Perl’ Eco by World Senses.  The net 
loan receivable balance for the Atlas group from World Senses of 
$698,212 has been fully impaired due to the net liability position of the 
World Senses Pty Ltd accounts.  

Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd acquired in January 2013 as a 100%

advances.  A provision for impairment of $816,028 has been booked 
against the loan for the year ending 30 June 2016 as a result of a review 
conducted on the recoverability of the intercompany receivable. The 
provision represents a write-down to the director’s best estimate of the 
recoverable value and is deemed a prudent assessment.

27. SEGMENT REPORTING CONTINUED...

(iv)  Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and 
the physical location of the asset.

Reportable segments’ liabilities are reconciled to total liabilities as follows:

Major customers 
A Japanese wholesaler accounted for 19% of external revenue in 
the period ended 30 June 2016 (2015 - 12%).  These revenues are 
attributable to the Australian wholesale loose pearl segment.

The entity is domiciled in Australia.  The result of its revenue from third 
party customers in Australia is $653,152 (2015: $627,605) in relation 
to wholesale loose pearl sales. Revenue for wholesale loose pearls 
from third party customers based in other countries during the period 
ended 30 June 2016 was $15,389,416 (2015: $8,034,402).  86% of the 
total loose pearl sales revenue during the period ended 30 June 2016 
(2015: 83%) were to Japanese based customers.

In relation to retail jewellery sales the above segment reporting is 
based on the location of the sale, whether in Australia or Indonesia 
as the nature of the retail business relies on one off sales transactions 
with customers from a variety of locations.

(ii)  Adjusted net operating profit

Segment liabilities
Unallocated:
Current tax liabilities
Borrowings
Deferred tax liabilities
Other

Total liabilities as per the statement of financial 
position

(v)  Normalised EBITDA reconciliation

Segment net operating profit/(loss) before income tax reconciliation to 
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Board of Directors and the management team review on a monthly 
basis the performance of each segment by analysing the segment’s 
net operating profit before tax. A segment’s net operating profit before 
tax excludes non-operating income and expense such as interest paid 
and received, foreign exchange gains and losses whether realised or 
unrealised, fair value gains and losses and impairment charges.

A reconciliation of adjusted net operating profit/(loss) before income 
tax is provided as follows:

Net profit/(loss) before tax
Finance/Interest (rec)/paid
Depreciation/Amortisation
FX (gain)/loss
Agriculture standard revaluation
Inventory write-off
Other non-operating (income)/expense
Gain on derivative instruments
Impairment of Joint Venture investment
Other taxes/penalties (land tax/fees)

32.   FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market 
risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price 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 derivative financial instruments such as foreign 
exchange contracts and options to hedge certain risk exposures. 
Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, ie not as trading 
or speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to 
measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. The Group uses 
sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign exchange 
risks and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors. The Group 
holds the following financial instruments:

The Group operates internationally and are exposed to foreign 
exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with 
respect to the Japanese Yen, Indonesian Rupiah, US Dollar and Euro.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions 
and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that 
is not the entity’s functional currency and net investments in foreign 
operations. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow 
forecasting.

Management manages their foreign exchange risk against their 
functional currency. Group companies are required to hedge a 
proportion of their foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future 
commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities using 
forward exchange contracts and options under the guidance of the 
Board of Directors.

The majority of the Group’s cash reserves are held in Australian banks 
with AAA ratings. 

The Groups exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date 
expressed in Australian dollars was as follows:

Majority of the exposure above relates to the borrowings held in Yen.

Not shown in the table above, is the exposure to exchange 
movements on the intercompany loan denominated in Australian 
dollars made to the Indonesian subsidiaries. At the period end this 
loan stood at AUD$5,376,067. The intercompany loans are eliminated 
on consolidation. 

(ii)  Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from its borrowings. Given 
that borrowings are all due within 12 months and are at fixed interest 
rates the Group considers that any fair value interest rate risk or cash 
flow risk will be immaterial.

(iii)  Price risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in pearl prices. This product is not 
traded as a commodity on an open market and as such the price risk 
cannot be hedged.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash 
and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, as well as credit 
exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding 
receivables. The Group considers the credit quality of the customer, 
taking into account its financial position, past experience and other 
factors. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or 
using major credit cards, thus mitigating credit risk.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the 
carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised on page 89. For

All cash balances held at banks are held at internationally recognised 
institutions. The Australian Government has guaranteed all deposits 
held with Australian banks, cash held in Indonesia is not covered by 
this guarantee. The majority of other receivables held are with related 
parties and within the Group. Given this the credit quality of financial 
assets that are neither past due or impaired can be assessed by 
reference to historical information about default rates.

The credit quality of trade receivables that are neither past due nor 
impaired can be assessed by reference to historical information about 
counterparty default rates.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, 
the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed 
credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group 
manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual 
cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and 
liabilities. Group management aims at maintaining flexibility in funding 
by keeping committed credit lines available. Surplus funds are

generally only invested in instruments such as term deposits that are 
highly liquid. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s 
liquidity reserve (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) 
and cash and cash equivalents (Note 6) on the basis of expected cash 
flows. This is generally carried out by the Board of Directors on a Group 
basis. In addition, the Group’s liquidity management policy involves 
projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of 
liquid assets necessary to meet these and monitoring debt financing 
plans.

Financing arrangements

The Company will be required to meet three financial undertakings to 
comply with the lending conditions imposed by the bank as follows:

• 

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and 
exceptional items (Normalised EBITDA) will be greater than and at 
least equal to;

• 

$1,500,000 for the 12 months 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017

•  Minimum net worth of the borrower (Atlas) will at all times be 

greater than $18,000,000; and

• 

The ratio of net worth of the borrower to total tangible assets of 
the borrower will at all times be equal to or greater than 60%.

The Group had access to the following borrowing facilities at the 
reporting date.

Normalised EBITDA for the 12 months ended 30 June 2016 was a profit 
of $3.6m, the covenant for this period was a profit of $1.5m.

A new other bank loan (unsecured) provided by Microsoft Finance 
was provided during the year ended 30 June 2014 to acquire the 
accounting software Microsoft Navision. Further loans were drawn 
down during the year ended 30 June 2015 in relation to Microsoft 
Navision expenditure. The liability at 30 June 2016 was $143,676 (2015: 
$247,240).

Lease liabilities provided by St George Bank were effectively secured by 
the rights to the leased assets, recognised in the financial statements, 
which revert to the lessor in the event of default. The value of the 
loans relating to Lease liabilities as at the reporting date was $5,172 (30 
June 2015: $20,689).

The fair value of bank loans equals their carrying amount, as the 
impact of discounting is not significant. The fair value of convertible 
notes is reviewed half-yearly to determine the fair value of the 
derivative liability component.

The bank loan with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”) has 
been renegotiated in principle and the facility is due to be extended 
until the 30 June 2017. The new facility agreement is currently being 
finalised with sign off by all parties expected in September 2017.

The current bank loan is secured by a registered company charge by 
CBA over the whole of the assets and undertaking including uncalled 
capital of Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd and its related entities except 
for the shares and assets of Essential Oils of Tasmania Pty Ltd and 
World Senses Pty Ltd.

The bank loan provided under a Japanese Yen Domestic Foreign 
Currency Advance facility has a facility limit equivalent to 
AUD$1,875,000. As at 30 June 2016 the facility had been fully drawn 
down. This facility is subject to a fixed interest rate plus the Japanese 
BBSY. As at 30 June 2016 this fixed interest rate was 6.08%. Under the 
new facility agreement, the fixed interest rate is 6.58%. This facilty 
expires on 30 June 2017.

The bank loan provided under an Australian Dollar Bills Discount facility 
has a facility limit of AUD $2,125,000. As at 30 June 2016 the company 
had drawn down $2,120,000. This facility is subject to a fixed interest rate 
plus LIBOR. As at 30 June 2016 this fixed interest rate was 6.08%. Under 
the new facility agreement, the fixed interest rate is 6.58%.

The facility is also subject to a monthly line fee of 0.05% calculated 
on the facility limit, A$4,000,000. The new facility will also attract an 
establishment fee of A$32,127 plus legal costs of A$2,500 in July 2016 
& A$30,000 in December 2016 and an ongoing monthly management 
fee of A$4,825.

The Company has agreed to the following principal repayments of its 
debt facility with CBA:

Borrowings include the loan to the Commonwealth Bank (CBA), and is 
classified as an amount due between 6-12 months.  This loan is drawn 
as a bank bill facility which has a maturity date of 30 June 2017.

(a) Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the 
following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(a)   quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets 

or liabilities (level 1)

(b)  

inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are 
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly 
(level 2), and

(c)  

inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable 
market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following table presents the group’s financial assets and financial 
liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2016 and 30 
June 2015 on a recurring basis:

(b)  Valuation techniques used to derive level 2 and 

level 3 fair values 

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active 
market (for example, over–the– counter derivatives) is determined 
using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the 
use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as 
possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required 
to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included 
in level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on 
observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is 
the case for unlisted equity securities. As at 30 June 2016 there are no 
level 3 related instruments in place.
