BEHIND THE SCENES

THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

Each pearl is unique, every year is special

It  is  always  an  interesting  exercise  to  deliver  an  accurate  and  balanced  12-month  snapshot  of  a  4  year-long 
pearling cycle. Each year brings both challenges and rewards, some driven by Mother Nature and others by our 
global economy. We have come a long way since 2014/15 but have not yet harvested all the fruits, and certainly 
the pearls, which have been seeded and nurtured to date.

Here are a few key team achievements I would like to share with you:

A record number of oysters seeded due for harvest in 2018/19; 
• 
A significant improvement in hatcheries and juvenile oysters survival; 
• 
A sustained post-seeding nuclei retention rate; 
• 
A promising quality improvement in pearl skin and lustre; 
• 
• 
A steep productivity increase in grading and value adding; 
•  On-going support from the communities surrounding our farms; 
• 

A strong push in the appreciation of Indonesian pearls by the trade with the support of the Japanese, 
American and Indonesian pearl associations; 
A solid price recovery at the April and June Atlas private auctions in Kobe, Japan after 6 months of relatively 
soft prices backed up by an effective currency hedging strategy; 
An effective debt restructuring and tax management process; 
A broader connection with customers through a Channel 9 nationwide TV feature, also seen through Netflix, 
which showcased our farms in Bali and Flores (700,000 viewers, 141 countries, 14 languages); 
A step forward in pearl education with the launch of the “Pearl as One” program and Atlas’ new video; 
A carefully crafted collaboration with the West Australian Ballet and partnership with the WA Opera; 
A successful launch of the Atlas Brand in Singapore and soon to come in Shanghai and Jakarta.

Sarah, Chihiro, Emma and Diah, our Ambassadors, have successfully spread the Atlas message and company 
values this year. They are our ‘pearls’ and together we go forward into the community to reveal our inner beauty, 
and to celebrate the magic of the Atlas South Sea pearl.

Going forward, Atlas will remain focussed on quality and productivity gains, whilst staying close to its customers. 
This ideal combination fostered by team communication, passion and dedication, will deliver the growth and 
profitability that will then lead to sustainability.

Once again thank you to the Atlas team, staff, clients and shareholders alike, for your continuous support and 
inspiration.

Yours in pearling,

Pierre Fallourd

SARAH TILLEKE

Sarah encompasses the beauty of an Atlas South Sea pearl. As a model, Sarah is 
known for her versatility and demonstrates both classic and contemporary appeal.

Sarah was one of Atlas Pearls’ first models and Ambassadors. Equally, for Sarah, Atlas 
was the first company to book the then 19-year-old for a campaign.

Now at 22, the international model is making a name for herself and not just as a 
“token beauty”. Sarah is studying Communications and is also a keen adventurer. 

Recently she was one of the last contestants remaining on the Australian Survivor 
TV show. Her ability to outwit, outsmart and play the strategic game saw her make 
it to the final eight.

Sarah is a wonderful Ambassador for Atlas and, like a pearl, demonstrates an inner 
glow and projects beauty from within.

“Pearls are a miracle of nature. 
When I wear pearls I feel beautiful, romantic and special.”

Ballet dancer Chihiro Nomura is the perfect balance of grace and strength. 
She can be both a delicate beauty and a fierce athlete.

Chihiro was born and studied in Tokyo, Japan. She graduated from the Heinz Bosl 
Stiftung Ballet Academy in Munich and has danced for the Norwegian National 
Ballet in roles including the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker and Aurora 
in Sleeping Beauty.

Chihiro moved to Perth and joined West Australian Ballet (WAB) in 2015. 
Just this year she was promoted to principal.

Like an elite athlete, Chihiro is in constant training to achieve the fitness and 
technique demanded of her performances. The same dedication and commitment 
is required to create an Atlas pearl. Chihiro’s inner shine is only enhanced by the 
Atlas pearls she wears and loves.

“I love Atlas Pearls because they are so classic and feminine and I love wearing my 
Embraced earrings. At a recent photo shoot with Atlas I was able to model a stunning 
strand of pearls, so I have been leaving hints with my partner.”

Ballet Dancer & Atlas social media AmbassadorDid you know?Pearls are the only living gem.For personal use onlyEMMA PETTEMERIDES

Emma Pettemerides was about 5 years old when she discovered Judy Garland 
and became obsessed with singing.

Emma’s extraordinary gift led her to the respected West Australian Academy of 
Performing Arts. Emma began her career in London, but has returned to Australia 
and is now a soprano with West Australian Opera.

Emma finds great joy in the ability to move people through the power of music. 
She loves being a story-teller and being able to take people on a journey. 

Her performance highlight to date is singing for the late Dame Joan Sutherland’s 
80th birthday in her presence. 

And in another life highlight, Emma recently became a new mum to baby Archer. 

Just like the journey of a pearl, each woman’s journey is individual and unique.

“Pearls are the ultimate statement piece for any woman. 
Timeless and exquisitely beautiful, wearing pearls will always make you feel elegant. 
I love that each pearl is unique in colour, shine and shape and it also happens to be 
my birth stone.”

Emma Pettemerides

As one of the few Indonesian female surfers on the pro-circuit, Diah has rightly 
been described as a “rare pearl”. Diah started surfing when she was 12. 
She took up the sport with her father, and then quickly became addicted to 
surfing. Now at 23 years of age, Diah is a pro-surfer and sponsored by Rip Curl. 

In the very competitive world of surfing, Diah demonstrates incredible drive, 
perseverance and strength. She is breaking new ground for many young female 
surfers and is an incredible role model for Indonesian women.

As a lover of the ocean, Diah is a perfect advocate for Atlas Pearls and the 
Ambassador of the Atlas Pearls “Surfed” Collection.

“I feel truly happy when I wear pearls. I wear pearls because they are natural. 
Pearls remind me of the ocean and that is where I feel at home.” 

Diah Rahayu

THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholder

2016/17 marked a year of consolidation for Atlas and the laying 
of the foundations for sustained growth.

Our  sales  revenue  did  not  match  the  previous  year  due  to 
softened  market  conditions  between  October  2016  and 
March  2017.  Pleasingly,  prices  firmed  during  the  latter  part 
of  the  financial  year  to  levels  which  would  have  allowed  our 
performance to mirror 2015/16 had they been sustained across 
the full 12 months.

Importantly, we were able to continue our progress towards a 
material uplift in future revenues from our operational reforms 
evidenced by improved pearl quality, reduced mortality and a 
significant increase in the number of shells seeded.

On the capital structure front, the company has been fortunate 
in securing a $3.5m term debt facility from its major shareholder 
to replace the prior existing bank short term debt facility. The 
loan, which has been approved by the shareholders, is repayable 
in a number of instalments through to June 2020. In addition, 
Atlas has also been successful in tapping the traditional bank 
lending market for an overdraft of $1million to accommodate 
the historically slower cash flows in the first part of the year.

Reflecting the new certainty around our funding, we no longer 
have an “Emphasis of matter” paragraph relating to our going 
concern  status  in  our  Audit  Report,  which  I’m  sure  will  be 
welcomed by all shareholders.

Last  year  I  wrote  that,  as  we  had  listed  our  50%  interest  in 
Essential Oils of Tasmania (“EOT”) as an asset for sale at the end 
of the year and, as it had not sold, we were required to take 
a precautionary write down on the value of that investment. 
This year, I am pleased to report that the earnings outlook for 
this business has improved significantly. New trading revenue 
streams have been developed, new commercial arrangements 
instituted with growers and new products identified for further 
market  development.  Programs  for  selling  cosmetic  products 
based  on  pearl  powder  and  proteins  in  North  America  are 
also continuing to evolve with a renewed effort scheduled for 
November 2017.

We are now confident that EOT will justify the investment the 
company  made  in  it  and  it  has  the  potential  to  grow  into  a 
significant source of diversified earnings for the company.

Finally,  on  behalf  of  my  fellow  directors,  I  want  again  to 
acknowledge the contribution of all our employees not only for 
the achievements of 2016/17 but for putting in place the human 
and financial resources to underwrite future improvements in 
performance.

The Board is convinced that the production expansion path we 
are now pursuing will ensure both stability and growth in our 
future earnings and I am looking forward to sharing with you 
the fruits of these initiatives in the coming years.

$16.4M,  compared  to  the  year  ended  30  June  2016  -  $18.4M.  Pearl 
sales  revenue  was  $15.4M  (30  June  2016  -  $16.0M),  with  retail  and 
wholesale sales revenue of $0.9M (30 June 2016 - $1.9M). 

While  pearl  quality  has  remained  consistent,  market  conditions 
at  a  trading  level  became  challenging  early  in  this  financial  year, 
particularly  for  the  company’s  high-end  product,  before  a  partial 
recovery  at  the  company’s  April  and  June  Auctions.  These  market 
conditions were also felt at a wholesale and retail level, however the 
company holds a more positive market outlook for 2017/18. 

The subsequent reduction in revenues was partially off-set by effective, 
responsible cost controls. Farm operating costs remained in line with 
the prior year despite upward costs pressures in Indonesia generally, 
with cost of goods sold values reflect an increase in the number of 
pearls sold. Administration and Marketing expenses again remained 
consistent with the prior year on aggregate, and the combination of 
these cost performance efforts helped ensure the company remained 
profitable in 2016/17 despite tough market conditions.

From  a  Capital  perspective,  the  company  raised  $3.5M  from  its 
major shareholder during the year to drive the company’s long term 
strategic plan and assist with the full repayment of the CBA debt ($4M 
at 1 July 2016). The company has now concluded its relationship with 
the  CBA  and  is  moving  forwards  with  the  support  of  the  National 
Australia Bank. (NAB)

4.2.5    REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

4.2.5.1  PEARLING 

Following on from the efforts in 2015/16, improvements in operational 
processes at all levels of Oyster management remained a key focus 
during the year.

The return to normal water temperatures at the end of the El Nino 
season experienced in 2015/16 has allowed the full effects of hatchery 
evolution  and  juvenile  husbandry  to  be  understood,  generating 
improved  spat  survival  on  sea  deployment.  Juvenile  numbers  have 
increased  significantly  when  compared  to  June  2016,  and  the 
company expects to see the benefit of improved juvenile husbandry 
practices to build on the hatchery results and translate into increased 
virgin availability in the coming years.

In  terms  of  seeding  performance,  the  company  has  injected  a 
significant  number  of  quality  virgin  shells  sourced  from  supportive 
Indonesian  oyster  producers,  allowing  the  company  to  increase  its 
seeding  numbers  in  the  current  year  while  we  wait  for  the  oysters 
that  are  the  product  of  the  hatchery  and  juvenile  reforms  to  move 
through the 2 year growth cycle prior to seeding.

The  outcome  of  both  improved  juvenile  survival  and  increased 
seeding number is significant increase in the company’s biomass as 
at June 30 2017.

Project capital sourced in January 2017 was used to support the shell 
purchase program and provide the necessary infrastructure to host 
the growing number of Oysters that is the company’s future revenue 
stream.

Overall  harvest  profiles  remained  in  line  with  those  experienced 
towards  the  end  of  2015/16,  however  pearl  quality  is  beginning 
to  show  the  benefits  of  seeding  and  husbandry  reforms  and  the 
company is optimistic that this will continue to evolve and result in a 
steady flow of high quality goods into the market.

4.2.5.2  PEARLING VALUE ADDED

Wholesale  and  retail  pearl  markets  struggled  in  2016/17,  reflecting 
the  market  changes  at  a  trading  level  as  well  as  global  economic 
factors impacting discretionary spending in western economies. The 
company’s  traditional  pathways  to  non-trading  markets  performed 
poorly  and  showed  only  limited  appetite  for  quality  product,  with 
most  sales  generated  from  mid-range  goods  at  less  than  premium 
price points. As a result of these market conditions, more pearls were 
sold via trading avenues, realising value but returning lower margins.

Ongoing  refinements  in  matching  our  jewellery  design  offering  to 
international  market  demands,  and  value  adding  non-traditional 
product categories remains an opportunity in the sector and will be 
pursued in 2017/18.

The  company  is  now  well  advanced  in  efforts  to  both  re-open 
old  markets  in  the  USA  and  Middle  East  and  evolve  our  wholesale 
offering  by  seeking  partnerships  with  high  end  department  stores 
and  jewellery  chains  internationally.  Private  sales  made  available  to 
VIP customers of aligned company’s also remains an area expected 
to add value.

The  company  remains  committed  to  a  strong  retail  presence,  with 
refined efforts to build the Atlas brand ongoing.

4.2.5.3  NATURAL EXTRACTS

Essential Oils of Tasmania (EOT) was retained in the Atlas portfolio last 
year as a 50% owned subsidiary, and has been subject to a material 
evolution. The appointment of a new CEO and the re-negotiation of 
the  company’s  farming  contracts  has  changed  the  business  model 
to a more collaborative approach with the Tasmanian growers and is 
considered much more sustainable in the long term.

In  a  further  sign  on  the  company’s  evolution,  EOT  has  begun  a 
relationship with a USA based direct marketing company to develop 
a  market  pathway  for Tasmanian  oils  separate  from  the  company’s 
traditional  trading  markets.  This  has  resulted  in  significant  sales  of 
locally  sourced  Tasmanian  native  species  Kunzea  and  Southern 
Rosalina  Oil  into  US  markets  and  has  been  instrumental  in  the 
company  achieving  record  sales  in  2016/17.  Of  the  company’s  two 
major  product  lines,  Peppermint  pricing  struggled,  impacted  by 
strong  US  seasonal  production  volumes,  while  traditional  fennel 
markets remain strong.

A broadening of the EOT product offering and ongoing development 
of alternate market pathways remains the focus for 2017/18.

towards  industry  best  practice.  The  long  term  strategic  plan  will 
continue  to  drive  a  growth  agenda  and  both  JV  and  diversification 
strategies will be assessed in 2017/18.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

13.1.3 

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION POLICY AND FRAMEWORK 
(CONTINUED...) 

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  13.2  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  2017  the  Company  did  not 
engage any remuneration consultants. 

Voting and comments made that the Company’s 2016 
Annual General Meeting.

Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd received more than 98% of “yes” votes on 
its remuneration report for the 2016 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

percentage of EBITDA.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

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.

b)  Interest Income is recognised as it accrues.

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 key production inputs 
are confirmed with the relevant executives and agreed with the Board 
of Directors every six months. These are listed in below:

During the year ended 30 June 2017, the Group harvested 374,046 
(2016: 351,557) pearls. No significant events occurred which impacted 
on oyster mortalities during the financial year. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

Agricultural assets include pearl oysters, both seeded and unseeded. Seeded 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. The fair value of 
unseeded oysters is determined by reference to market prices for this type of asset 
in Indonesia. 

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  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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

Pearls: Pearl inventory is held at cost and value assessed based on the cost of oyster 
stock at time of harvest. At each reporting date, pearl inventory is reviewed to ensure 
it is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At 30 June 2017, a write off 
of pearl stocks of $263,441 has been recorded (30 June 2016- $165,036) to bring the 
value in line with the assessed net realisable value. 

Nuclei: Quantities on hand at the period end are valued at the lower of cost and net 
realisable  value.

Other: Including  jewellery,  cosmetics,  fuel,  mechanical  parts  and  farm  spares  at  the 
period end are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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.

6.  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, i.e. 
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 and Senior management.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

6.1   MARKET RISK

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The  Group  operates  internationally  and  is  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.

6.  Financial Risk Management (continued...)

GROUP SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Sensitivity analysis is based on exchange rates in US Dollars, Japanese Yen and Euro increasing or decreasing by 10% and the effect on profit 
and equity.

In prior years the majority of the exposure in the Company related to 
the borrowings held in Yen. As at 30 June 17 all Yen borrowings have 
been settled. Current borrowings are all held in AUD.

Not shown in the table above, is the exposure to exchange movements 
on the intercompany loans made to the Indonesian subsidiaries. The 
loans are held in IDR and revalued to AUD at each year end. At 30 June 
2017 this loan stood at AUD$2,463,005. 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.  All 
borrowings are currently repayable by 30 June 2020 and are at fixed 
interest rates. As such 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.

6.2   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 35. 
For retail customers without credit rating the Group generally retains 
title over the goods sold until payment is received in full.

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.

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 5) on the basis of expected cash 
flows. This is generally carried out by the Senior Management and 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.

During the year ended 30 June 2017 the Company’s debt position 
has  been  restructured.  As  at  30  June  2016,  the  Company  had 
a  $4,000,000  facility  in  place  with  the  Commonwealth  Bank  of 
Australia  (CBA). This  was  fully  drawn  down  at  this  date  and  due 
for repayment by 30 June 2017. This loan facility was 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 CBA loan was fully repaid by 30 June 2017 and the security 
position has been discharged.

• 

The Company secured a new debt financing package of $3,500,000 
from  Mr.  Tim  Martin  (Non-Executive  Director)  and  the  Martin 
Family,  a  related  party.  $1.5m  of  this  facility  was  drawn  down  in 
January 2017, with a further $2m secured in June 17. The loan is 
repayable  over  a  3  year  period  at  a  7.5%  interest  rate,  in  staged 
repayments to be completed by 30 June 2020.

6.5 

MATURITIES OF FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities, net and gross settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings 
based on their remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual 
undiscounted cashflows. 

Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Subject  to  shareholder  approval,  the  loan  agreement  with 
the  Martin  Family  will  contain  a  convertibility  provision.  The 
outstanding debt and interest will only be convertible into ordinary 
shares in the event the Company defaults on its repayment terms 
as noted above, with convertibility being at the lender’s option. In 
that event, the conversion price will be at a 15% discount to 30 day 
VWAP, with a minimum conversion price of 1.5c

In addition to the financing package noted above, the Company 
has agreed a new facility with the National Australia Bank (NAB). 
The NAB has taken over from CBA as the Company’s transactional 
banker and provided a $1,000,000 working capital overdraft facility. 
The  overdraft  facility  will  be  secured  by  a  registered  company 
charge over the Company’s Assets. As at 30 June 2017, no amount 
has been drawn down on this facility.

The Martin facility is currently not secured, but it is the intention 
of  the  Company  to  seek  approval  from  the  shareholders  for  a 
General  Security  Deed  in  relation  to  the  debt,  that  will  rank  as 
a second priority charge over the Company’s assets, behind the 
NAB facility. A General Meeting has been called for September 
2017 to attend to this matter.

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/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 2017 and 30

(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 2017 there are 
no level 3 related instruments in place.

 (i)   

 Transfers between levels 2 and 3 and changes in    
 valuation techniques

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy 
in the period ended 30 June 2017. There were also no changes made 
to any of the valuation techniques applied as of 30 June 2016.

Fair values of other financial instruments

(c.) 
The group also has a number of financial instruments which are not 
measured  at  fair  value  in  the  statement  of  financial  position. These

Impaired trade receivables

At  30  June  2017,  an  impairment  of  $43,090  has  been  booked  in 
relation  to  trade  receivables.  This  relates  to  debts  owing  from  two 
wholesale customers that are past due by more than 3 months and 
which management have deemed are at risk of not being collected. 
Management are actively pursuing recovery of the debt.

(b.)    Past due but not impaired

As at 30 June 2017, trade receivables of $52,726 (2016: $134,491) 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 these customers 
no  impairment  has  been  recognised  in  the  financial  period.  The 
ageing analysis of these trade receivables is as follows:

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  at  the  reporting  date  is  the 
carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned above. Refer 
to note 6 for more information on the risk management policy of the 
Group and the credit quality of the entity’s trade receivables.

Other  payables  include  accruals  for  annual  leave  and  employee 
benefits  of  $1,647,565,  and  $1,614,554  in  the  consolidated  entity  for 
30 June 2017 and 30 June 2016 respectively. The entire obligation is 
presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional 
right to defer settlement. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

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

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. 

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  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.

Refer to Note 6.4 for disclosures on financing arrangements currently in place. 

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

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.  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 6).

Derivative  financial  assets  and  liabilities  comprise  forward  exchange  contracts.  Gains 
and losses arising from changes in fair value of foreign exchange hedging contracts 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 2017 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.

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 2017 as potential ordinary shares which may 
have a dilutive effect on the profit of the Consolidated Group.

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

Basic earnings per share

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. Refer to Note 12.1 for further detail.

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.  Refer  to  Note  12.1  for  further  detail.

recognised as a liability at the reporting date; and

(iii)  Franking  credits  that  will  arise  from  the  receipt  of  dividends 

recognised as receivables at the reporting date.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

Each  class  of  property,  plant  &  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less,  where 
applicable,  any  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment  losses. The  carrying  value 
of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  their  useful  lives  are  reviewed  annually  by 
management 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 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 unchanged: Freehold 
Land (5-10%), Leasehold land & buildings improvements (5-10%), Vessels (10%), and 
Plant and Equipment (10-50%).

15.   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 detailed throughout the financial statements and 
in the prior period except as detailed below:

Inter-entity sales

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.

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.

15.   Segment reporting (continued...)

Major customers
A Japanese wholesaler accounted for 10% of external revenue in the 
period  ended  30  June  2017  (2016  -  19%).  The  top  three  Japanese 
customers accounted for 27% of revenue in the current period. 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  $599,528  (2016:  $653,152)  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 2017 was $14,748,723 (2016: $15,389,416). 89% of the 
total loose pearl sales revenue during the period ended 30 June 2017 
(2016: 86%) 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 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:

18.   Share Based Payments and Options

18.1   EMPLOYEE SALARY SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN

On 30 May 2012, the Atlas Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan was 
established. 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.

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 shares rank equally with other fully paid ordinary shares.

To  participate  in  the  Salary  Sacrifice  Plan,  Eligible  Employees  are 
required  to  salary  sacrifice  a  minimum  of  10%  of  their  annual  base 
salary into Shares. There is no maximum percentage or value cap to 
the amount that each Eligible Employee can sacrifice. The issue price 
for Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan will be determined from time 
to time by the Board of Directors (in their discretion).

Non-Executive share plans, under treasury shares.

18.3   ATLAS PEARLS AND PERFUMES LTD EMPLOYEE 

OPTION PLAN

At the EGM on 13 May 2014 it was resolved by the shareholders to 
approve the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd Employee Option Plan. On 
24 February 2014, the Board adopted the Atlas pearls and Perfumes 
Ltd  Employee  Option  Plan  (Plan)  under  which  eligible  participants 
may  be  granted  Options  to  acquire  Shares  in  the  Company.  The 
Directors consider that the plan is an appropriate method to:
(a.)  Reward Directors, executives, employees, consultants and  

contractors for their past performance;

(b.)  Provide long term incentives for participation in the Company’s  

future growth;

(c.)  Motivate Directors, executives, employees, consultants and  

contractors and general loyalty; and

(d.)  Assist to retain the services of valuation Directors, executives,  

employees, consultants and contractors.

The Plan will be used as part of the remuneration planning for Directors, 
executives, employees and contractors. Under the plan, participants 
are granted options which only vest if certain performance 

standards are met. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion 
and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or 
to receive any guaranteed benefits. 

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;
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

(iii) 

(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.

18.2 NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FEE SACRIFICE SHARE PLAN

Options on Issue

The  Non-Executive  Director  Salary  Sacrifice  Share  Plan  is  open  to 
Eligible Participants, being any Non-Executive Director who is declared 
by the Board to be an Eligible Participant for the purpose of the Plan.
The Company’s Non-Executive Directors will receive a portion of their 
Director’s fee in the form of Shares.
The  Company  agrees  to  issue  or  procure  the  transfer  of  Shares  to 
eligible  Non-Executive  Directors,  in  lieu  of  the  amount  of  Directors’ 
fees that each eligible Non-Executive Director has agreed to sacrifice 
from their monthly Directors’ fees each financial year. The issue price 
for Shares under the Salary Sacrifice Plan will be determined from time 
to time by the Board of Directors (in their discretion).

On the 30th of June 2015 5,500,000 options exercisable at $0.059 each, 
on or before 31 December 2018 (expiry date), were issued to employees 
of the Company on the terms and conditions set out in the Explanatory 
Memorandum ratified at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on the 
13th of May 2014. 

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  share. The 
exercise price of options is based on 143% (June 2016: 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. 

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
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.

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). This valuation 
imputes  a  total  value  of  approximately  $90,215  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 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 are detailed below.

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

(i)  Options are granted for no consideration and vest based on  

the individual’s Key Performance Indicators. Vested options are  
exercisable for a period of six months after vesting or the earlier  
of 31 December 2018. 

(ii)  Exercise price - $0.0590;

(iii)  Grant date – 30 June 2015;

(iv)  Share price at grant date: $0.044

(v)  Expected price volatility of the company’s shares: 60%;

(vi)  Expected dividend yield: 0%;

(vii)  Risk-free interest rate: 3.06% 

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

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.

Joint ventures

World  Senses  Pty  Ltd  (World  Senses)  was  formed  on  the  29th 
November  2012  as  a  joint  venture  between  Nomad  Two  Worlds 
Global Trading Pte Ltd and Atlas Pearls and Perfumes Ltd. 

At 30 June 2017, there is a net loan balance of $698,212 owing from 
World Senses to Atlas (30 June 2016 - $698,212). This balance consists 
of salary and administration recharges and accounting charges, offset 
by pearl cosmetic products, pearl jewellery and pearl protein extraction 
assets transferred to Atlas. 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 (EOT) was acquired in January 2013 
as a 100% subsidiary. On 20th April 2015 50% of the investment in the 
entity was sold to Westwood Properties Pty Ltd. Post this sale Essential 
Oils  of  Tasmania  has  been  deemed  a  joint  venture  and  has  been 
equity accounted for.

As at 30 June 2017, there is a loan balance of $2,042,450 (30 June 2016: 
$1,832,284)  owing  from  Essential  Oils  of  Tasmania  Pty  Ltd  to  Atlas. 
This balance consists of admin and expense recharges, and funding 
advances. A provision for impairment of $816,028 was 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.

The  parent  entity  has  a  50%  interest  in  Brookfield Tasmania  Pty  Ltd. 
At 30 June 2017, there is a loan balance of $449 (30 June 2016: $200) 
owing from Brookfield Tasmania Pty Ltd.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

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

Investments in subsidiaries

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

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.

The  company’s  historical  tax  affairs  are  regularly  subject  to  audit  by 
the  Indonesian Tax  Office  and  this  process  remains  ongoing. There 
is  a  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. Currently there are no periods 
under review. 

26.  Remuneration of auditors

The  Group  leases  premises  under  non-cancellable  operating  leases 
expiring in 5 years. On renewal the terms of the leases are renegotiated. 

There are no capital commitments in place in relation to the acquisition 
of  property,  plant  and  equipment.  Fixed  assets  are  replaced  in  the 
normal  course  of  business  operations  and  the  company  does  not 
anticipate  any  material  capital  outlay  for  such  replacement  costs  in 
the coming year.

Other commitments/guarantees

Atlas  Pearls  and  Perfumes  Ltd  had  a  bank  guarantee  with  the 
Commonwealth Bank of Australia for AUD$100,000 at 30 June 2017 
(30  June  2016:  $100,000).  This  guarantee  has  been  taken  out  to 
secure the rental of the Atlas Pearls and Perfumes corporate offices in 
Claremont, Western Australia.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY

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.

27.  Accounting Policies

27.1  BASIS OF PREPARATION

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared 
in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards,  and  other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board, IFRS 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 28 August 2017. 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.

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.

27.3  NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED 

BY THE GROUP

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently 
been issued or amended but are not yet effective have not been adopted 
by the Group for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2017 unless 
disclosed separately. The Group’s and the parent entity’s assessment of 
the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.  

AASB 16 - To the extent that the Company, as lessee, has significant 
operating leases outstanding at the date of initial application, 1 
July 2019, right-of-use assets will be recognised for the amount 
of the unamortised portion of the useful life, and lease liabilities 
will be recognised at the present value of the outstanding lease 
payments.

Thereafter EBITDA will increase as a result of operating lease expenses 
currently  included  in  EBITDA  which  will  be  recognised  instead  as 
amortisation  of  the  right-of-use  asset,  and  interest  expense  on  the 
lease liability. However, there will be an overall reduction in net profit 
before tax in the early years of a lease because the amortisation and 
interest charges will exceed the current straight-line expense incurred 
under AASB 117 Leases. This trend will reverse in the later years.

Atlas has identified the following lease where this standard change 
will have an impact:

Revenue will be 
recognised when control 
of the goods or services 
is transferred, rather than 
on transfer of risks and 
rewards as is currently the 
case under IAS 18 Revenue. 

AASB 16 eliminates the 
operating and finance 
lease classifications 
for lessees currently 
accounted for under 
AASB 117 Leases. Leases 
with terms greater 
than 12 months, unless 
the underlying asset 
is immaterial, will be 
recognised as a lease 
liability and a right of use 
asset in the statement of 
financial position.

Impact on initial application:

• 

• 

AASB 9 - The Company enters into forward hedge contracts to 
manage  foreign  currency  risk  but  it  currently  does  not  apply 
hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are fair valued 
at  each  reporting  date  and  gain  or  loss  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. It 
is  expected  that  the  application  of  the  new  amendments  will 
not have an impact on the entity’s financial statements.

AASB 15 – The Company does not currently enter into revenue 
contracts that will be affected by changes to this standard. It is 
expected that the application of the new amendments will not 
have an impact on the entity’s financial statements.

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 2017 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.

27. 

Accounting Policies  (continued...)

27.6  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

27.7  COMPARATIVE FIGURES

27.4  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION (CONTINUED...)

(a.)  Functional and presentation currency

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.  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 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. 

27.5  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  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. Actual results may differ 
from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and 
may materially affect financial results or the financial position reported 
in future periods.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial 
statements are detailed below:
(a.)  Determination of market value of biological assets – see note 3
(b.)  Write off of inventories – see note 4
(c.)  Impairment of debtors – see note 8
(d.)  Impairment of joint venture receivables – see note 22

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:
• 

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.

• 

• 

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.

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

27.8  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.

27.9 

 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 18.

27.10   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.

27.11   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.

28.  Events occuring after the reporting period

There have been no material events since the end of the financial year.
