Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S LETTER

The 2019 Financial Year has been one of solid progress for the Group as the Board and 
Management implemented our strategy to move away from being a producer of price 
competitive, low value products to focus on the production of premium and specialty dairy 
products with realistic profit margins, including development of the Group’s own brands. Of 
particular note, was the Group securing the purchase of an overseas existing infant formula 
and nutritionals mixing plant for re-commissioning in Camperdown . This complements the 
Group’s earlier purchase of Flahey’s Nutritionals Pty Ltd which included various brands, 
trademark protected in both Australia and some Asian markets as well as infant formula 
recipes under development .  

The Group’s processing operations, Camperdown Dairy Company, continued its turn around 
with the commencement in July 2018 of the 4-year agreement to manufacture several yoghurt 
products under ‘The Collective’ brand ranged in Woolworths stores nationally .  

Pleasingly, this agreement was extended in February 2019 by a further 2 year period, (taking the term to 6 years) in return for the 
Group agreeing to invest in additional capacity for pouch based products through the purchase of an automated, high speed pouch 
machine . The pouch machine is due to be commissioned by December 2019 .   

The Group made good progress in the conversion of its dairy farms to organic milk, bringing the timeline forward with the purchase 
of the “Yaringa” farm in November 2019 . Conversion of the remaining farms is on track with all farms achieving full conversion 
during calendar year 2021. There were however, some significant headwinds for the farms through the 2019 Financial year with 
very high feed costs . Whilst South West Victoria hasn’t experienced drought conditions, key grain producing regions across the 
Eastern seaboard of Australia experienced significant drought conditions resulting in prices of key feed inputs more than doubling 
over the last 12 months. The season in South West Victoria has gotten off to a great start and therefore, the Group are expecting 
that its reliance on bought in feed will be much lower this year . 

In addition to this, milk prices have opened very strongly and Management have negotiated a new milk supply agreement 
commencing on 1 July 2019 which the Group expects will have a net benefit over the previous financial year of between $1.1 Mil 
and $1.3 Mil per annum. 

Finally, in June 2019 the Group successfully raised $12 million through a private placement to sophisticated investors. These 
funds will be used to fund the development of a new building for the infant formula plant and expansion of Camperdown Dairy’s 
operations as well as working capital .  

With strong milk prices, an expectation of lower costs at the farm level through better environmental conditions and strong progress 
on the development of the infant formula plant, the Board is optimistic that financial year 2020 will be a transformational one for the 
Group . 

I would like to thank all of our employees and the people involved in the company for their support and hard work during the year . 
I would also like to thank the securityholders for their support during the year and assure them that they are top of mind in all 
respects . For those of you who are able to make it to the AGM, please introduce yourself and I look forward to meeting you then .

Peter Skene

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Director’s Report

The Board of directors of Australian Dairy Nutritionals Limited (the Company) submits to members the Annual Report of the 
company and its controlled entities (the Group) for the financial year ended 30 June 2019.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE NATURE OF THOSE ACTIVITIES

The principal activities of the Group during the year were:

•  Operation of the Camperdown Dairy factory at Camperdown Victoria, which processes raw milk from the Group’s dairy farms to 
produce high quality fresh milk, cream, butter and yoghurt products for distribution and sale in Australia under the Camperdown 
Dairy brand and brand names of customers .

•  Development and market launch of new Camperdown Dairy branded dairy products including organics;

•  Ownership of dairy farms via the Australian Dairy Farms Trust (the Trust); 

•  Operation of dairy farms and ownership of dairy livestock through SW Dairy Farms Pty Ltd (SWDF) to produce fresh raw milk 

for sale to external parties and for use by Camperdown Dairy Company Pty Ltd (CDC); and

•  Continued emphasis on implementation of the Group’s published Strategy of expanding its Organic focus and aiming for 

production and ownership of high value added brands and products .

In respect of the Group’s continued commitment to conversion of all Group farms to organic milk production and expanded contract 
processing and packing of customers’ branded products, there has been no significant change in the scale or nature of the Group’s 
activities in the year .

The Trust acquired an advanced organic in-conversion farm Yaringa at Nirranda South in South West Victoria, which is expected to 
be fully certified Organic in November 2019, and also sold a non-milking fodder production farm at Glenfyne for $2.6 million with the 
net proceeds of the sale after costs, being applied to reduce bank borrowings .

Two separate equity capital raisings were undertaken during the financial year: 

• 

• 

a Stapled Security Purchase Plan on 30 October 2018 accepting 325 applications to raise $2,719,500 in new capital for the 
Group. The Group issued 20,919,363 new stapled securities at an issue price of $0.13 per security; and 

a Sophisticated Investor Placement of $12 million to new securityholders was made in June 2019, managed by Blue Ocean 
Equities Sydney and completed in two tranches of $3.9 million (32,657,851 securities) in June and $8.1 million (67,342,149 
securities) in August .

The placement was ratified and approved by securityholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 13 August 2019.

In the June quarter of the financial year, the board had an opportunity to acquire an existing entry level infant formula plant. 
The acquisition completed in late August 2019 . The plant has been dismantled and relocated to Camperdown, where it will be 
reassembled in a purpose built factory to be constructed on the Camperdown Dairy Park land owned by the Group . It is expected 
that the plant will be in full production in mid-2020 and be producing organic infant formula from organic milk produced on the 
Group’s own farms . 

In June 2019, the dairy processors announced significantly higher milk prices for the new season which potentially will result in 
higher milk revenues in FY2020 based on current production values .

The Board believes the combination of positive changes to the capital structure of the Group, new sales of the Group’s Own Brands 
and those of premium customers and increased milk prices for the Group’s farm production combine to place the Group in a strong 
position to build on this success in FY2020 .

BUSINESS MODEL AND OBJECTIVES

2019 Financial Year – Continued Transition, Implementation and Consolidation Year

FY2018 was the commencement of the necessary transition from being a commodity producer of predominantly bottled white milk 
to being a successful differentiated dairy producer and marketer with its own valuable brands.

The results of these changes showed the first positive financial impact in the December 2018 quarter of FY2019 as expected and 
foreshadowed in the FY2018 Directors’ Report .

 BUSINESS MODEL AND OBJECTIVES (cont’d)

In March 2018, the Board advised that the organic infant formula segment would be included in it’s strategic objectives and that the 
Group’s remaining conventional milk dairy farms would commence the three year conversion to organic certification. The organic 
conversion process requires more expensive organic grain and fodder inputs for livestock and the elimination of non-organic 
supplements and the use of certain chemicals and pesticides . The known initial impact of the conversion is that in the early stages, 
milk production volumes decrease. However, the rewards are significant once the conversion to organic process is complete and 
certified.

The 2019 financial year has been another transition year with a focus on the future to confidently set the Group on a realistic path 
to be a profitable, flexible and significantly diversified participant in the specialised dairy products market.

OPERATING RESULTS 

The consolidated net loss attributed to members of the Group, after providing for income tax was $4,026,025 (2018: $4,157,653).
This result is comprised of a net loss from the dairy processing segment of $2,077,510 (2018: $2,811,749) and net loss from the 
dairy farm segment of $1,948,515 (2018: $1,345,904).

Total income for the year ended 30 June 2019 is $21,940,223 up 10% against the 2018 comparative period of $19,902,214. This 
is a result of a $2,263,132 increase in revenue from the dairy processing segment, and a $225,123 decrease in revenue from the 
dairy farm segment .

Total expenses for the year ended 30 June 2019 were $25,966,248, up 8% against the 2018 comparative period of $24,059,867. 
This comprised a $1,528,893 increase in expenses from the dairy processing segment and an increase of $377,488 from the dairy 
farm segment .

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Strategy Implementation

The Group continues to progress with conversion of its dairy farms to produce organic milk including the acquisition of Yaringa 
farm, which is expected to be fully converted organically and certified in late 2019. The Group also continues to shift its focus from 
production of low margin commodity bottled white milk to higher margin processed products and, entering the infant and toddler 
formula market with the acquisition of Flahey’s Nutritionals . Planning for the construction of new processing facilities including 
installation of the first stage infant formula plant acquired on 27 August 2019 on Camperdown Dairy Park has also commenced.

Dairy Processing - Camperdown Dairy Company Pty Ltd (CDC)

CDC processes milk with outputs including bottled white milk, yoghurt, butter and cream, under the Group’s own Camperdown 
Dairy branded milks including Jersey and Free-Range labels, as well as for a range of other customer labels via contract packing . 
CDC reported a net loss of $2,077,510 (2018: $2,811,749) and EBITDA of -$1,168,304 (2018: -$1,964,637) for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2019 .

Included in expenses for the year ended 30 June 2019 is a provision of $864,438 in respect of trade receivables owing by Jonesy’s 
Dairy Fresh . On 26 August 2019 the Group announced that it had entered into a joint venture with Jonesy’s Dairy Fresh and the 
trade debtor balance will be fully secured against the existing and future assets of the joint venture (refer Note 7(a)(i)) .

Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 is $13,391,170 up 20% against the 2018 comparative period of $11,128,038. 

A significant sales contribution has been made by The Collective, a New Zealand based brand that has entered the Australian 
market after strong success over several years in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Production of The Collective products 
commenced in late August 2018 and the products are ranged in Woolworths stores nationally . Sale volumes of the The Collective 
products have increased in line with expectations during 2019, with growth forecast to continue in 2020 .

In line with the Group’s announced strategy to decrease the focus on low margin commodity milk sales in favour of building higher 
margin brands and sales, there was an expected decline in sales of bottled white milk compared with the prior comparative period .

Flahey’s Nutritionals Acquisition

The business, brands, formulations and trademarks of Flahey’s Nutritionals were acquired and settled in December 2018 . As part 
of the same transaction the brand’s founder, Christopher Flahey, commenced employment as the Group’s Sales and Marketing 
Director charged with the task of expanding sales of the existing products and the development of new formula brands (refer note 
3) .

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (cont’d)

Dairy Farms - Australian Dairy Farms Trust and SW Dairies Pty Ltd

The Group’s dairy farms reported a net loss of $1,948,515 (2018: $1,345,904) and EBITDA of -$750,814 of (2018: -$857,048) for 
the year ended 30 June 2019 .

Total farm milk sales for the year of $7,395,306 are 2% down on the 2018 comparative period. There has been an increase of 
$0.21 per kilogram in the net milk solids price from $5.87 to $6.08 during the year, offset by a 5% decrease in milk solids production 
arising from the the conversion to organic .

Gain on change in fair value of livestock during the year was $538,552 (2018: $380,267). Livestock carrying values remained 
steady for the year ended 30 June 2019 compared to a reduction in the carrying value of livestock following independent valuations 
in 30 June 2018 .

Operating costs in the year ended 30 June 2019 have increased $377,488 from the 2018 comparative. This is largely attributable 
to increased heifer rearing costs and costs associated with the commencement of milking on the new Yaringa farm . The Yaringa 
Farm at Nirranda South was acquired in October 2018 and is expected to become fully certified as an organic dairy farm in late 
2019. This will be a significant cornerstone in the process of focusing on higher value added organic products including organic 
infant formula .

Capital Raisings

The Group completed a Stapled Security Purchase Plan (SPP) on 30 October 2018 accepting 325 applications to raise $2,719,500 
in new capital for the Group. The Group issued 20,919,363 new stapled securities at an issue price of $0.13 per security. 

A Sophisticated Investor Placement of $12 million to new securityholders was made in June 2019, managed by Blue Ocean 
Equities Sydney and completed in two tranches of $3.9 million (32,657,851 securities) in June and $8.1 million (67,342,149 
securities) in August .

Name change

At the 2018 AGM held in Melbourne on 29 November 2018, securityholders voted to approve a resolution to change the name 
of the Group from Australian Dairy Farms Limited to Australian Dairy Nutritionals Limited to better reflect the primary focus of the 
Group going forward to concentrate on milk powders and dairy nutritionals including the production of organic infant formula . The 
name change was implemented on 24 December 2018 and the same change was adopted in the name of the Australian Dairy 
Nutritionals Group . 

FINANCIAL POSITION 

The net assets of the Group at 30 June 2019 total $33,014,661, an increase of $2,540,490 from the June 2018 comparative.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

Following is a summary of the key events after the reporting period:

•  On 20 August 2019, the Group announced to the ASX the completion of tranche 2 of its placement with the issue of 

67,342,149 stapled securities, raising $8.1m. Managing Broker, Blue Ocean Equities, which acted as lead manager to the 
placement, were also issued 2,500,000 options; 

•  On 26 August 2019 the Group announced to the ASX it has entered into a joint venture in relation to the Jonesy’s Dairy 

Fresh (JDF) milk distribution business (Business) . Under the terms of the joint venture, the assets of the Business will be 
transferred to a new trading company, Jonesy’s Distribution Pty Ltd (JD) . In addition, the outstanding trade debtor balance 
between the Business and Camperdown Dairy Company (CDC) will be transferred to JD and CDC will advance JD up to an 
additional $100,000 for working capital. 

The trade debtor balance as well as any working capital advanced by CDC to JD will be fully secured against the existing 
and future assets of JD. The parent company currently owns 100% of the share capital in JD but on completion of the joint 
venture transaction, the parent company will own 50% of the shares in JD and the founders of JDF will own the other 50% of 
the shares . The Group sees the joint venture as a strategic platform to expand its position in the hospitality and niche retail 
distribution market . In addition, the directors are of the view that the security which CDC will have over the new joint venture 
entity (JD), provide a potential opportunity for CDC to recover some or all of the trade debtor balance owed by the Business 
(refer Note 7(a)(i)) . 

•  On 27 August 2019 the acquisition of the infant formula and nutritionals mixing plant announced on 4 April 2019 completed 
(refer Note 18(c)(i) . The plant has obtained full customs and AQIS clearance and has now been re-located to Camperdown, 
Victoria .     

In the opinion of the directors there were no other material matters that have arisen since 30 June 2019 that have significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the Group, that are not disclosed elsewhere in this report or in the accompanying financial 
statements .

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Group is regulated by environmental obligations contained in the Environment Protection Act 1970 and is subject to water 
licensing restrictions under the Water Act 1989 .

The Group considers itself to be in compliance with its environmental obligations .

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

After extensive analysis of the practicalities and implications of transitioning to higher value-added production and processing, 
including an emphasis on developing the Group’s own brands of premium dairy products with high value margins and relative 
protection from price competition, the Board published its intention to commence the conversion process for its farms to become 
certified organic milk producers.

It is expected that the transition of the dairy farms to fully certified organic farms will take approximately three years.  

The intention is for the Group to focus on development of formula products, nutritionals and specialty dairy products using organic 
milk . Ultimately, this will be achieved by the Group’s expansion of its facilities and installation at the Camperdown Dairy Park on 
industrial zoned land already owned by the Group . 

In the short term, the Group intends to outsource infant formula arrangements to existing Australian producers and develop the 
Group’s new brands and where possible using organic milk produced on the Group’s own farms . However, planning and building 
applications are in progress to commence construction of a new factory facility on the Camperdown Dairy Park land owned by the 
Group, to accommodate the acquired infant formula plant referred to in Note 18(c)(i) and other dairy processing plant . During this 
period, significant concentration will be on generating revenue from contract processing and packaging to support and facilitate the 
Group’s development and transition .

Business Risk

The Group consists of complementary businesses in dairy farming and milk processing that are exposed to a range of strategic, 
financial, operational, environmental and related risks that are inherent when operating in agricultural and fast-moving consumer 
goods markets . The Group has an enterprise risk management framework which, together with corporate governance, provides a 
framework for managing the material risks . 

Environment

The agricultural and dairy farming industry are largely dependent on the natural outside environmental and weather conditions, 
including heat, cold, rain and sunshine, all of which directly impact animal health and welfare and productivity . Failure to 
successfully prepare for and respond to these factors, and to mitigate there impact may adversely effect on farm and business 
performance . 

7

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019DIRECTORS’ REPORT (cont’d)

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES (cont’d)

To mitigate these issues, the Group has progressively improved our farms by installing appropriate drainage, irrigation and water 
and fodder storage . Stock levels are regularly balanced to meet changing conditions and to prepare for expected changes and the 
pre-ordering of grain and fodder supplies that are not able to be grown on farms is in place .

The Group also continues to endeavour to play its part in not creating environmental pressures and promoting sustainability and 
animal welfare . 

Financial

The availability of funding and management of capital and liquidity are fundamental to the Group’s business operations and growth . 
In addition, a failure to move away from producing or dealing in low margin commodity products in favour of high value-added 
products and establishment of the Group’s own sought-after brands could continue to adversely impact on business profitability.

To mitigate these issues, the Group has board approved strategies to discontinue and avoid low margin commodity production and 
has plans for progressive expansion in the range and diversity of products produced . The Group will also need to continue to invest 
in new technology and recognise which parts of the business can be reduced or outsourced, or assets sold to further improve the 
overall capital position .

Operational

The Group is subject to operational risk including the availability of high quality and experienced personnel for farms and dairy 
processing .

To mitigate the issue, the Group has established policies, standards and training in regards to business operations, including 
people safety, health and wellbeing, food and product safety . We continue to invest in our operational capability across processes, 
technology and improving our business so that it attracts and retains high calibre personnel .

Compliance

The Group is subject to applicable laws, regulations and contractual arrangements and is exposed to adverse regulatory or 
legislative changes. Breaches or adverse changes could result in negative impacts on the Group’s reputation and profitability and  
significant fines or other adverse consequences.

To mitigate these issues, the Group has a compliance framework in place and a variety of policies have been established to 
facilitate legal, regulatory compliance and internal protocols . We liaise with government and regulatory bodies on proposed legal 
and regulatory changes and the Group Code of Conduct and training programs promote awareness of legal, regulatory and internal 
policy requirements .

REMUNERATION REPORT

Remuneration Policy

The remuneration policy of Australian Dairy Nutritionals Limited has been designed to align key management personnel (KMP) 
objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term 
incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Group’s financial results. The Board believes the remuneration policy to 
be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain high-quality KMP to run and manage the Group, as well as create goal 
congruence between directors, executives and shareholders .

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is as follows:

–   The remuneration policy is developed and approved by the Board, who form the remuneration committee due to the 

current size and nature of the Group’s activities . Professional advice is sought from independent external consultants when 
required .

–   All KMP receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation and 

performance incentives .

–   Performance incentives are only paid once predetermined key performance indicators (KPIs) have been met.

–   Incentives paid in the form of equity are intended to align the interests of the KMP and Group with those of the 

securityholders. In this regard, KMP are prohibited from limiting risk attached to those instruments by use of derivatives or 
other means .

–   The remuneration committee reviews KMP packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive 

performance and comparable information from industry sectors .

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the 
forecast growth of the Group’s profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined 
performance criteria . The policy is designed to attract a high calibre of executives and reward them for performance results leading 
to long-term growth in shareholder wealth .

KMP receive, at a minimum, a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%. Some 
individuals, however, may choose from time to time to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

There are currently no defined benefit superannuation entitlements to executive KMP and upon retirement KMP are paid employee 
benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement. Any options not exercised before or on the date of termination will lapse.

All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed.

The Board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities . The 
remuneration committee determines payments to the directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, 
duties and accountability . Independent external advice is sought when required . The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can 
be paid to directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting .

Directors are also entitled and encouraged to participate in the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) to align their interests with 
shareholders’ interests .

Options granted under the LTIP do not carry dividend or voting rights . Each option is entitled to be converted into one ordinary 
security once the interim or final financial report has been disclosed to the public and is measured using a binomial methodology.

KMP or closely related parties of KMP are prohibited from entering into hedge arrangements that would have the effect of limiting 
the risk exposure relating to their remuneration .

In addition, the Board’s remuneration policy prohibits directors and KMP from using Australian Dairy Nutritionals Limited securities 
as collateral in any financial transaction, including margin loan arrangements.

No KMP receive securities that are not performance based as part of their remuneration.

REMUNERATION REPORT (cont’d)

Engagement of Remuneration Consultants

During the financial year, no consultants were engaged by the remuneration committee to review the elements of KMP 
remuneration and provide recommendations . As the size and nature of the Group’s activities increase, this may become necessary .

Performance-based Remuneration

KPIs are set annually, with a certain level of consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically tailored to the area each 
individual is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for Group 
expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based 
on budgeted figures for the Group and respective industry standards.

Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed 
difficulty of the KPIs achieved. Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the 
desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the Group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the 
KPIs are set for the following year.

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved, the Group bases the assessment on audited figures; however, where the 
KPI involves comparison of the Group, or a division within the Group, to the market, independent reports may be obtained from 
other organisations .

Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Group Performance

The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives . The 
establishment of the LTIP is to encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests . The Group believes this policy 
should be effective in increasing shareholder wealth in future years.

Performance Conditions Linked to Remuneration

The Group seeks to emphasise reward incentives for results and continued commitment to the Group through the incorporation of 
incentive payments based on the achievement of Total Securityholder Returns and continued employment with the Group .

During this financial year, the Group did not issue Performance Incentives to current KMP. The performance-related proportions 
of remuneration based on the achievement of Total Securityholder Returns are included in the Employment Details of KMP table 
below . The objective of the Performance Incentives is to both reinforce the short and long-term goals of the Group and provide a 
common interest between management and shareholders . 

The satisfaction of the performance conditions is based on a review of the audited financial statements of the Group and publicly 
available market indices, as such figures reduce any risk of contention relating to payment eligibility. The Board does not believe 
that performance conditions should include a comparison with any other measures or factors external to the Group at this time .

Employment Details of Members of Key Management Personnel

The following table provides employment details of persons who were, during the financial year, members of KMP of the 
consolidated Group . The table also illustrates the proportion of remuneration that was performance and non-performance based .

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group (“the Group”) was formed by the stapling of Australian Dairy Nutritionals Limited (“the 
Company”) and its controlled entities, and Australian Dairy Farms Trust (“the Trust”) . The Financial Reports of the Group and the 
Trust have been presented jointly in accordance with ASIC Class Order 13/1050 relating to combining accounts under stapling and 
for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange.

The Trust is a registered managed investment scheme under the Corporations Act 2001 . The Responsible Entity is governed by 
the terms and conditions specified in the constitution. Trustees Australia Limited retired as Responsible Entity on 20 May 2018, and 
Dairy Fund Management Limited was appointed, both of which are domiciled in Australia . 

The Group was established for the purpose of facilitating a joint quotation of the Company and the Trust on the Australian Securities 
Exchange . The constitutions of the Trust and the Company ensure that, for so long as the two entities remain jointly quoted, the 
number of units in the Trust and the number of shares in the Company shall be equal and the unitholders and shareholders are 
identical . Both the Responsible Entity of the Trust and the Company must at all times act in the best interests of the Group .

To account for the stapling, Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer (the Company) to be identified and an acquisition 
to be recognised. The net assets and net profit of the acquiree (the Trust) are recognised as non-controlling interest as they are not 
owned by the acquirer in the stapling arrangement .

The stapling arrangement will cease upon the earliest of either the winding up of the Company or the Trust or by agreement 
between the parties . 

(a)  Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and in compliance with International 
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a for-profit entity for 
financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of 
these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 August 2019.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical 
costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial 
liabilities .

(b)  Principles of Consolidation

Stapling

The stapling of the Company and the Trust was approved at separate meetings of the respective shareholders and unitholders on 
1  September 2014 . On 22 October 2014, shares in the Company and units in the Trust were stapled to one another and are now 
quoted as a single security on the Australian Securities Exchange .

Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer to be identified and an in-substance acquisition to be recognised. In relation 
to the stapling of the Company and the Trust, the Company is identified as having acquired control over the assets of the Trust. To 
recognise the in-substance acquisition, the following accounting principles have been applied:

(1) no goodwill is recognised on acquisition of the Trust because no direct ownership interest was acquired by the Company in 

the Trust;

(2) the equity issued by the Company to unitholders to give effect to the transaction is recognised at the dollar value of the 

consideration payable by the unitholders . This is because the issue of shares by the Company was administrative in nature 
rather than for the purposes of the Company acquiring an ownership interest in the Trust; and

(3) the issued units of the Trust are not owned by the Company and are presented as non-controlling interests in the Group 

notwithstanding that the unitholders are also the shareholders by virtue of the stapling arrangement . Accordingly, the equity 
in the net assets of the Trust and the profit / (loss) arising from these net assets have been separately identified in the 
statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position.

The Trust’s contributed equity and accumulated losses are shown as a non-controlling interest in this Financial Report . Even though 
the interests of the equity holders of the identified acquiree (the Trust) are treated as non-controlling interests the equity holders of 
the acquiree are also equity holders in the acquirer (the Company) by virtue of the stapling arrangement .

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(b)  Principles of consolidation (cont’d) 

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of the Company and all subsidiaries from the 
date on which control is obtained by the Company .

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company . Control exists when the Company 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. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control 
commences until the date that control ceases .

Inter-entity transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Company entities 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 Company .

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of comprehensive income 
and statement of financial position respectively.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the Company. A list of subsidiaries 
appears in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.

Business combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses .

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or 
businesses under common control . The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is obtained, whereby 
the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to 
certain limited exemptions) .

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent 
consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not 
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability 
is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in 
value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial 
instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase .

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses . Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

(i)  the consideration transferred;

(ii)  any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and

(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any 
previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than 100% interest will depend 
on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest . The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-
controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share 
of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which 
method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business 
combination .

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is determined using valuation techniques which make 
the maximum use of market information where available . Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interest is 
recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets . Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in 
investments in associates .

Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions 
and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(b) Principles of consolidation (cont’d)

Goodwill (cont’d)

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units, 
representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored and not larger than an operating segment . Gains and losses on the 
disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of .

Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions

(c) Income tax

Under current income tax legislation the Trust is not liable to pay tax provided its taxable income and realised capital gains are 
distributed to unitholders . The liability for capital gains tax that may arise if the land and buildings were sold is not accounted for in 
this report .

The Company’s income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income adjusted by changes 
in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their 
carrying amounts in the financial statements and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are 
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted . The relevant tax rates are 
applied to cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An 
exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset 
or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, 
that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not 
recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the 
parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future .

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are also 
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity .

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned entities (this excludes the Trust) have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 July 
2014 and are, therefore, taxed as a single entity from that date . The head entity within the tax consolidated group is Australian 
Dairy Nutritionals Limited .

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of 
the tax consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax consolidated group, using 
the ‘separate taxpayer within the group’ approach by reference to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial 
statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation .

Any current tax liabilities or assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries are assumed by the 
head entity in the tax consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the tax 
consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts referred to in the following section. Any difference 
between these amounts is recognised by the Company as an equity contribution or distribution .

The Company recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax consolidated group to the extent that it 
is probable that future taxable profits to the tax consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Any 
subsequent period adjustment to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses, as a result of revised assessments of the 
probability of recoverability, is recognised by the head entity only .

Tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements

The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax consolidate group, has entered into a tax funding arrangement, which 
sets out the funding obligations of members of the tax consolidated group in respect of tax amounts . The tax funding arrangements 
require payments to/from the head entity equal to the current tax liability (asset) assumed by the head entity and any tax-loss 
deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity receivable (payable) equal in 
amount to the tax liability (asset) assumed . The inter-entity receivable (payable) is at call .

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(c) Income tax (cont’d)

Tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements (cont’d)

Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and reflect the timing of the head 
entity’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities .

The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax consolidated group, has also entered into a tax sharing agreement . 
The tax sharing agreement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the 
head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this 
agreement, as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote .

(d) Fair value of assets and liabilities

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the 
requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard .

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (ie unforced) 
transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date .

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair 
value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair 
values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques . 
These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data .

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (ie the market with 
the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous 
market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset 
or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs) .

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its 
highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use .

The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) 
may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to 
observable market information where such instruments are held as assets . Where this information is not available, other valuation 
techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.

(e) Inventories

Inventories and consumables held for use in operations are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value . Cost is determined 
on the average cost basis and comprises the cost of purchase including transport costs .

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

(f )  Biological Assets

Biological assets are comprised of livestock (dairy cattle) . Biological assets are measured at fair value less costs to sell, with any 
change recognised in profit or loss. Costs to sell include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets, including freight and 
direct selling costs .  

The Group, at each reporting date, appoints an external, independent valuer who having recent experience in the location and 
nature of cattle held by the Group performs a valuation for the reporting date . Fair value is determined by reference to market 
values for cattle of similar age, weight, breed and genetic make-up . The fair value represents the estimated amount for which 
cattle could be sold on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper 
marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion .

In the event an independent valuer has not been appointed the Group determines whether an active or other effective market exists 
for a biological asset in its present location and condition, the quoted price in that market is the appropriate basis for determining 
the fair value of that asset .  If an active market does not exist then the directors use one of the following valuation methods, when 
available, in determining fair value:

•

the most recent market transaction price, provided that there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances
between the date of that transaction and the end of the reporting period; or

• market prices, in markets accessible to the entity, for similar assets with adjustments to reflect differences.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(g)  Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the 
instrument. For financial assets, this is the date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade 
date accounting is adopted) .

Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where 
the instrument is classified at fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss 
immediately . Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value . In other circumstances, valuation 
techniques are adopted .

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing 
component or if the practical expedient was applied as specified in AASB 15.63.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities

All of the Group’s financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest expense 
in profit or loss over the relevant period.

The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the financial asset or liability; that is, it is the rate that exactly discounts the 
estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at initial recognition.

The Group does not have any financial liabilities classified as held for trading, designated as fair value through profit or loss or any 
financial guarantee contracts.

A financial liability cannot be reclassified.

Financial assets

Financial assets are subsequently measured at:

• 

• 

amortised cost; or

fair value through other comprehensive income, or through profit and loss.

Measurement is on the basis of the two primary criteria:

• 

• 

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset; and

the business model for managing the financial assets.

A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it meets the following conditions:

• 

• 

the financial asset is managed solely to collect contractual cash flows; and

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on 
the principal amount outstanding on specified dates.

A financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets the following conditions:

• 

• 

the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on 
the principal amount outstanding on specified dates; and

the business model for managing the financial asset comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the selling of the 
financial asset.

By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value through other 
comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(g)  Financial instruments (cont’d)

Derecognition

Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously recognised financial asset or financial liability from the statement of financial 
position .

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i .e . when the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires) . An 
exchange of an existing financial liability for a new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial modification to the terms 
of a financial liability is treated as an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of a new financial liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable, including 
any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred in such a 
way that all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred .

All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for derecognition of financial assets:

• 

• 

• 

the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired or been transferred;

all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been substantially transferred; and

the group no longer controls the asset (i .e . the group has no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell the asset 
to a third party) .

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum 
of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

On derecognition of an investment in equity which was elected to be classified as at fair value through other comprehensive 
income, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is not reclassified to profit or 
loss, but is transferred to retained earnings .

Impairment

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on:

• 

financial assets that are measured at amortised cost;

Loss allowance is not recognised for:

• 

financial assets measured at fair value.

Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. A credit 
loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows expected to be received, all discounted at 
the original effective interest rate of the financial instrument.

The Group uses the simplified approach to impairment, as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments.

Simplified approach

The simplified approach does not require tracking of changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead requires the 
recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all times .

In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix for trade receivables was used taking into consideration various data to 
get to an expected credit loss (ie diversity of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss experience, etc) .

Recognition of expected credit losses in financial statements

At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The carrying amount of financial assets measured at amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that asset.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(h) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less, where applicable, accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses .

Basis of measurement of carrying amount

Land, buildings and improvements, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses .

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount . The recoverable value of property is based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external 
independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings and an assessment of the properties value in use .

In the event the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the carrying 
amount is written down immediately to its estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.  
A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(l) for details of 
impairment) .

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured 
reliably.  All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss in the financial period in which they are 
incurred .

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including buildings but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis 
over the asset’s useful life to the Group commencing from the time the asset is available for use . Leasehold improvements are 
depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements .

The useful-life rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Assets

Land 

Land improvements

Buildings

Fixed Improvements

Depreciation Rate 
(years)

Not depreciated

3 years

40 years

30 years

Plant and equipment - owned

3-10 years

Plant and equipment - leased

Motor Vehicles

2-5 years

5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period .

An assets carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its 
estimated redeemable amount .

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount . These gains or losses are 
included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period which they arise. When revalued assets 
are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earning .

(i) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal 
ownership that is transferred to entities in the Group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased 
property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values . Lease payments are 
allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period .

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term .

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

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease 
term .

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(j) Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other 
than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period 
in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are 
measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled .

The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of 
current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and 
long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.Other long-term employee 
benefits

Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 
months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service . Other long-term employee 
benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments 
incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates 
determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that 
approximate the terms of the obligations . Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term 
employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.

The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial 
position, except where the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the 
reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions .

Equity-settled payments

Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting 
periods . Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value 
of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are 
recorded at the date the goods or services are received . The corresponding amount is recorded to equity . The fair value of options 
is determined using a binomial pricing model . The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the 
end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments 
granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest .

(k) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that 
an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period .

(l) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any 
indication that those assets have been impaired . If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of 
the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value . Any excess of the asset’s carrying 
value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs .

(m) Intangibles other than Goodwill

Other intangiblies have a finite life and are carried at cost or fair value less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment 
losses, and are amortised over their useful lives .

(n) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less .

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(o)  Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of 
business.  Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets.  
All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment . Refer to Note 1(g) for further discussion on the determination of impairment 
losses .

(p)  Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by 
the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid . The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being 
normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability .

(q)  Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial 
period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are 
substantially ready for their intended use or sale .

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(r)  Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable . The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or 
payments to suppliers .

(s)  Revenue and Other Income

The Group has applied new accounting standard AASB 15: Revenue from contracts, with  customers, with effect from 1 July 2018. 
Application of the standard has not impacted amounts recognised as revenue (refer note 1(v)(b)) . Revenue recognition policies are 
as follows: 

The sale of dairy farm and dairy processing segment products are measured at the fair value of consideration received net of any 
trade discounts and volume rebates allowed . 

The sale of dairy products represents a single performance obligation and accordingly, revenue will be recognised in respect of the 
sale of these goods at the point in time when control over the corresponding goods and services is transferred to the customer (i .e . 
at a point in time for sale of goods when the goods are delivered to the customer or transfer to the freight forwarder) . 

Dairy cattle fair value adjustments are determined at the end of each reporting date (refer Note 10) .  The amount of the net 
increment or decrement in the fair value is recorded as either revenue or expense and is determined as:

• 

The difference between the total net fair value of dairy cattle recognised at the beginning of the financial year and the total 
fair value of dairy cattle recognised as at the reporting date; less

•  Costs expected to be incurred in realising the fair value (including freight and selling costs) .

Dairy cattle sales are recognised when:

• 

• 

• 

there has been a transfer of control to the customer (through the execution of a sales agreement at the time of delivery of 
the cattle to the customer);

the quantity and quality of the cattle has been determined; and

the price is fixed and generally title has passed.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate inherent 
in the instrument .

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(t)  Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the financial statements requires directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the 
reported amounts in the financial statements. The director’s continually evaluate their judgements and estimates in relation to 
assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses . Judgements and estimates are based on historical experience and 
on other various factors they believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying 
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources .

Accounting measurements for which significant judgements, estimates and assumptions have been made are:

- Carrying value determination of land and buildings, refer Note 12;

- Carrying value determination of goodwill and intangibles, refer Note 11;

- Fair value determination of livestock, refer Note 10;

- Classification of debt, refer Note 15;

- Share based payments, refer Note 26; and

- Income tax and other taxes, refer Note 5 .

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. Further details of the nature of these assumptions and conditions may be found 
in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

(u)  Comparative figures

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

Where the Group has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement of items in the financial 
statements or reclassified items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the 
earliest comparative period will be disclosed .

(v)  New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by the Group

(a) Initial Application of AASB 9: Financial Instruments

AASB 9 replaces the provisions of AASB 139 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets 
and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting. Most of the 
changes are not relevant to the Group, however there was a new impairment model introduced in AASB 9 which requires the 
recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under 
AASB 139 .  

The adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018 resulted in changes to the Group’s accounting policies . No opening 
adjustment was necessary as a result of the adoption of AASB 9 . Financial assets in terms of AASB 9 need to be measured 
subsequently at either amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the Group’s business model and the cash flow characteristics of 
the financial assets. There were no financial liabilities impacted by the adoption of AASB 9. 

Impairment of financial assets

As per AASB, an expected credit loss model is applied, not an incurred credit loss model as per the previous Standard applicable 
(AASB 139). To reflect changes in credit risk, this expected credit loss model requires the Group to account for expected credit loss 
since initial recognition .

The Group has one type of financial asset that is subject to AASB 9’s new expected credit loss model:

• 

 trade receivables for sales of dairy farm and dairy processing segment products .

The Group was required to review its impairment methodology under AASB 9 for each of these classes of assets and no 
adjustment was required .

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss 
allowance for all trade receivables . To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on credit 
risk characteristics and the days past due. There was no material difference between the expected credit loss calculated under 
AASB 9 and AASB 139 .

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

(v) New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by the Group (cont’d)

(b) Initial Application of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which resulted in changes in accounting policies and 
required no retrospective adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. In accordance with the transition 
provisions in AASB 15, the Group has adopted the new standard with the modified retrospective method and has determined the 
application of AASB 15 to have an immaterial impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Accounting policy changes

•

Accounting for dairy farm and dairy processing segment products.

The sale of these products are measured at the fair value of consideration received net of any trade discounts and volume rebates 
allowed .

The sale of dairy products represents a single performance obligation and accordingly, revenue will be recognised in respect of the 
sale of these goods at the point in time when control over the corresponding goods and services is transferred to the customer (i .e . 
at a point in time for sale of goods when the goods are delivered to the customer or transfer to the freight forwarder) .

This represents a change in revenue recognition accounting policy of the Group from previous recognition when the significant risks 
and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer at the time of dispatch of the goods to customer - as stated above 
the accounting policy change has an immaterial impact on the Group financials.

(w) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards that have mandatory application dates for future 
reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the group . The directors have decided not to early-adopt any of the new and 
amended pronouncements . The following sets out their assessment of the pronouncements that are relevant to the Group but 
applicable in future reporting periods .

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019) .

The Group has chosen not to early-adopt AASB 16 . However, the Group has conducted a preliminary assessment of the impact of 
this new Standard, as follows .

A core change resulting from applying AASB 16 is that most leases will be recognised on the balance sheet by lessees as the 
standard no longer differentiates between operating and finance leases. An asset and a financial liability are recognised in 
accordance to this new Standard . There are, however, two exceptions allowed: short-term and low-value leases .

Basis of preparation

The accounting for the Group’s operating leases will be primarily affected by this new Standard.

AASB 16 will be applied by the Group from its mandatory adoption date of 1 July 2019 . The comparative amounts for the year prior 
to first adoption will not be restated, as the Group has chosen to apply AASB 16 retrospectively with cumulative effect. While the 
right-of-use assets for property leases will be measured on transition as if the new rules had always been applied, all other right-
of-use assets will be measured at the amount of the lease liability on adoption (after adjustments for any prepaid or accrued lease 
expenses) .

The Group’s non-cancellable operating lease commitments amount to $218,230 as at the reporting date .

The Group has performed a preliminary impact assessment and has estimated that on 1 July 2019, the Group expects to recognise 
the right-of-use assets of approximately $204,000 and lease liabilities of approximately $210,000 (after adjusting for prepayments 
and accrued lease payments recognised as at 30 June 2019) .

Following the adoption of this new Standard, the Group’s net profit after tax is expected to decrease by approximately $6,000 in 
2020. The repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities will be classified as cash flows from financing activities, thus 
increasing operating cash flows and decreasing financing cash flows by approximately $136,000.

(i) On 4 April 2019, the parent company announced to the ASX it had executed an agreement to purchase an existing offshore
infant formula plant comprising a dryer together with compatible evaporator and nutritionals blending equipment . The purchase
settled on 27 August 2019, with the Company acquiring 100% of the financing vehicle, Organic Nutritionals Pty Ltd for $1,302,014.
Included in the acquisition price is a $122,490 deposit for a high-speed pouch machine to further advance production capabilities
and capacity for The Collective contract. The Group is committed to the final balance of $277,753 which is payable on delivery of
the machine expected to be late in 2019 .

NOTE 3: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On 24 December 2018, Australian Dairy Nutritionals Limited acquired 100% of the issued capital and control of Flahey’s Nutritionals 
Pty Ltd (Flahey’s) for a total purchase consideration of $1,095,260. This acquisition forms part of the Group’s overall strategy to 
expand its dairy processing business and is a key step in entering the infant / toddler formula market . Additionally, Christopher 
Flahey, the founder of Flahey’s Nutritionals and an experienced sales executive in the infant formula sector, joined the Group as its 
Sales and Marketing executive .

2 . On 24 December 2018, 6,250,000 consideration securities were issued and valued using both the binomial option pricing model 
and Black-Scholes model . The consideration securities are subject to various performance milestones and Christopher Flahey 
remaining employed with the company on a conversion date . The consideration securities are forfeited if performance hurdles are 
not satisfied and the conversion dates are as follows:

• 

• 

• 

31 August 2019 - 1,875,000 consideration securities will be available to be converted to 1,875,000 stapled securities;

30 August 2020 - 1,875,000 consideration securities will be available to be converted to 1,875,000 stapled securities; and

31 August 2021 - 2,500,000 consideration securities will be available to be converted to 2,500,000 stapled securities .

The independent valuation resulted in a price of 12 cents per consideration security under both models . 

For financial accounting purposes (Under AASB 3 Business Combinations) the performance consideration is accounted for as 
follows:

Recognised as cost of acquisition (i)

intangible assets of Flahey’s on acquisition. Under the accounting standard, an intangible asset is considered identifiable if it 
meets the Contractual Legal Criterion . Flahey’s uses a range of recipes, formulations and patents which meet the Contractual 
Legal Criterion and in accordance with this requirement the Group has attributed $322,140 to the fair value of identifiable intangible 
assets acquired .

The Group has revenue losses of $25,565,148 (2018: $21,633,395). These losses comprise $19,784,841 of Group losses and 
$5,780,307 of transferred in losses “pre-stapling”. The transferred in losses can be carried forward and may be utilised against 
taxable income in future years provided the Same Business Test is satisfied. The Group is of the view that it satisfies the necessary 
criteria for these losses to be made available against future taxable profit, however the ATO will not rule on the availability to carry 
forward the losses at a point in time, they will only rule on the ability to utilise the losses at the date of utilisation . 

The 2018 year carry forward loss amounts have been re-stated to agree to tax returns as lodged and to reflect a tax rate of 27.5% 
(previously reported at 30%).

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which permits the use of 
the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables . To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been 
grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due . The loss allowance provision as at 30 June 2019 is 
determined as follows; the expected credit losses also incorporate forward-looking information .

(i) On 26 August 2019 the Group announced to the ASX it has entered into a joint venture in relation to the Jonesy’s Dairy Fresh 
(JDF) milk distribution business (Business) . Under the terms of the joint venture, the assets of the Business will be transferred to 
a new trading company, Jonesy’s Distribution Pty Ltd (JD). The parent company currently owns 100% of the share capital in JD 
but on completion of the joint venture transaction, the parent company will own 50% of the shares in JD and the founders of JDF 
will own the other 50% of the shares. As part of the joint venture transaction, the outstanding trade debtor balance between the 
Business and Camperdown Dairy Company (CDC) will be transferred to JD and CDC will advance JD up to an additional $100,000 
for working capital . The trade debtor balance as well as any working capital advanced by CDC to JD will be fully secured against 
the existing and future assets of JD. Whilst the security held by CDC over the assets of JD affords CDC the opportunity to collect 
some or all of the outstanding trade debtor balance, the directors have provided for the full $864,438 of the JDF outstanding 
balance to Camperdown Dairy at 30 June 2019 .

NOTE 7: TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (cont’d)

Credit risk

The Group has a significant concentration of credit risk with three key customers totalling $2,189,865 or 65% of receivables at 
balance date. Of this amount, $864,438 is impaired. The class of assets described as “trade and other receivables” is considered 
to be the main source of credit risk to the Group .

On a geographical basis, the Group has all credit risk exposures in Australia .

The Group always measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss . The 
expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of 
the debtor and an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtor, general 
economic conditions of the industry in which the debtor operates and an assessment of both the current and the forecast direction 
of conditions at the reporting date .

There has been no change in the estimation techniques used or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period. 

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there 
is no realistic prospect of recovery; for example, when the debtor has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy 
proceedings, or when the trade receivables are over two years past due, whichever occurs earlier .

(a) On 15 April 2016 the Group acquired Camperdown Dairy Company Pty Ltd (CDC) . In accordance with AASB 3 Business
Combinations, the purchase price was allocated to the fair value of the net identifiable assets of CDC and the remaining amount
was allocated to goodwill . 

As part of the annual review of holding values of all intangibles the directors have reviewed the carrying value of goodwill and have 
adopted the current carrying value at 30 June 2019 .

Impairment Disclosures

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGU) which are based on the Group’s internal reporting segments . Goodwill relates 
to the acquisition of CDC and the recoverable amount of this goodwill has been assessed using “value in use” calculations for the 
dairy processing segment .

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 11: INTANGIBLE ASSETS (cont’d)

Key Assumptions Used For ‘Value-In-Use’ Calculations

Value-in-Use

The impairment test for the dairy processing segment is based on ‘value-in-use’ calculations, applying discounted cash flow 
projections that have been approved by the board .  

Key assumptions

The key assumptions are based on historical results combined with expectations of future market activity and opportunities, and 
include revenue growth, gross margins, discount rates and terminal growth rate . 

Sensitivity to change in assumptions

Revenue growth – Revenue projections are based on the 2020 budget and forward-looking plans using current and contracted 
sales levels and pipeline growth. Growth rates of 3% have been used, reflecting a conservative approach in a changing 
marketplace .

Gross margins – Gross margins are based on the 2020 budget and reflect current actuals and estimates of contracted sales 
margins .

Discount rates – Discount rates used reflect pre-tax rates and are adjusted to incorporate risk premiums associated with the 
industry sector and specific business risk assessments. A pre-tax discount rate of 8.01% has been used in calculations, reflecting 
the Group’s estimated WACC which takes into account debt and equity .

Terminal growth rate - A terminal growth rate of 2.2% has been used for future cash flow growth beyond the 5-year forecast period. 
This is a conservative rate when compared with annual growth rates during the forecast period .

Impairment

At 30 June 2019, the recoverable amount of the CGU exceeded the carrying value and no impairment has been recorded for 
intangible assets in the dairy processing segment .

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions

The dairy industry has been experiencing significant change in recent years, and the Group has responded to this through strategic 
changes in product mix and customer base . Revenue and margin projections are based primarily on contracts in place at balance 
date, and are therefore considered reasonably based estimates .

Sensitivity analysis indicated that given current industry conditions and status of the Group, no reasonably possible changes in any 
of the key assumptions would cause the recoverable amount of the CGU to be less than its carrying value .   

(b) Recipes, formulations and patents relate to the acquisition of Flahey’s Nutritionals Pty Ltd on 24 December 2018 (refer note 3) .

1 . As announced to ASX on 5 October 2018, the Group acquired the Yaringa farm at Nirranda South . The farm is NASAA
       certified and set for full organic certification in October 2019. Yaringa is an important cornerstone in the Group’s strategy to 

focus its milk processing business on value-added premium dairy products and brand building .  

Land, buildings and improvements represents the total holding costs of each property including purchase price, acquisition 
costs, capitalised development and land improvement costs since acquisition .      

 (b) Registered valuers Preston Rowe Paterson completed an independent valuation of all farms for the year ended 30 

June 2018 . The basis of the valuation was ‘As Is and In Use’ with vacant possession and the combined fair value of all 
properties was $19,050,000, which gave rise to an impairment charge of $338,075 in that year, 

 (c) On 3 June 2019, the Group announced to ASX the completion of the Ignatios Farm (4 Maddens Bridge Road) sale for 

$2,600,000 with the net proceeds of the sale used to pay down CBA borrowings.

shareholders and share issues .

This strategy, consistent with the prior year, is to ensure that the Group’s gearing ratio remains below 35%. The gearing ratios for

NOTE 25: SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed by the board in assessing 
performance and determining the allocation of resources .

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category since the diversification of the Group’s operations inherently have 
notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same 
basis .

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar 
economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

•

•

•

the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

the type or class of customer for the products or service; and

external regulatory requirements .

Types of products and services by segment 

Dairy Farms

The dairy farms segment includes the ownership and operation of dairy farms and dairy livestock for the production and sale of 
fresh raw milk for conversion to milk and milk products .

Dairy Processing

The dairy processing segment includes the processing and sale of dairy products to domestic markets .

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting policies adopted

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the board with respect to operating segments are determined in accordance with 
accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group. 

In accordance with AASB 8, corporate costs and KMP remuneration have been allocated to the dairy farm and dairy processing 
segments on a 50/50 basis, representative of the consumption of this expenditure . Finance costs - banking facility, have been 
allocated in accordance with historical use of funds. The 30 June 2018 comparative has also been restated to reflect these 
allocations .

There are no intersegment sales and reporting of segment revenue has not been impacted by the adoption of AASB 15 (refer note 
1) .

53

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 25: SEGMENT REPORTING (cont’d)

Segment assets

If an asset is used across multiple segments, if possible it is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of economic value 
from it, otherwise it is split between segments. Segment assets are generally identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical 
location .

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are, if possible, allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the 
operations of the segment, otherwise they are split between segments . Bank facility borrowings are considered to relate to the 
Group as a whole and are not allocated . Segment liabilities include trade and other payables .

Vesting subsequent to grant date is subject to key management personnel meeting speficied performance criteria and the fair value 
of the options granted to employees is considered to represent the value of the employee services received over the vesting period . 
Historically volatility has been the basis for determining expected share price volatility as it is assumed that this is indicative of 
future movements . The life of  the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not evenuate in the future .

(ii) Cancelled and forfeited performance options

Options are forfeited if performance hurdles are not satisfied or after the holder ceases to be employed by the Group, unless the 
Board determines otherwise . During the year ended 30 June 2019, 780,000 (2018: 5,620,000) performance options were forfeited 
as the performance hurdle was not satisfied and $21,417 (2018: $439,519) has been transferred from the equity reserve to retained 
earnings . 

In the 2018 comparative, 6,140,000 performance options were cancelled and the $36,388 fair value of the cancelled options was 
offset against the fair value of the new options granted on 12 February 2018.

A summary of key terms and conditions of the loan securities are:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Loan securities are securities in the stapled entity, each carrying the same dividend rights and otherwise ranking pari passu 
in all respects with ordinary issued securities in the Group;

Financial assistance is provided to participants by way of a limited recourse interest free loan to acquire the securities;

The loan is repayable at any time or is repayable immediately if the participant ceases to be an employee;

The Group retains security over the loan securities whilst ever there is an amount outstanding under the loan; and

Loan securities that have not vested and / or are subject to loan repayment will be restricted from trading .

Under the applicable Accounting Standards, the loan securities and related limited recourse loan are accounted for as options, 
which gives rise to a share based payment expense . The value of the loan and the issue price of the shares are not recorded as 
loans receivable or share capital of the Group until repayment or part repayment of the loan occurs .

The fair value of loan securities granted during the period was $442,217 (2017: $nil). This value was calculated using a binomial 
option pricing model applying the following inputs:

Exercise price: 

Life of the option:

Expected share price volatility:

NOTE 27: EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE

Following is a summary of the key events after the reporting period:

•  On 20 August 2019, the Group announced to the ASX the completion of tranche 2 of its placement with the issue of 

67,342,149 stapled securities, raising $8.1m. Blue Ocean Equities, who acted as lead manager to the placement, were also 
issued 2,500,000 options; 

•  On 26 August 2019 the Group announced to the ASX it has entered into a joint venture in relation to the Jonesy’s Dairy 

Fresh (JDF) milk distribution business (Business) . Under the terms of the joint venture, the assets of the Business will be 
transferred to a new trading company, Jonesy’s Distribution Pty Ltd (JD) . In addition, the outstanding trade debtor balance 
between the Business and Camperdown Dairy Company (CDC) will be transferred to JD and CDC will advance JD up to 
an additional $100,000 for working capital. The trade debtor balance as well as any working capital advanced by CDC to 
JD will be fully secured against the existing and future assets of JD. The parent company currently owns 100% of the share 
capital in JD but on completion of the joint venture transaction, the parent company will own 50% of the shares in JD and the 
founders of JDF will own the other 50% of the shares. The Group sees the joint venture as a strategic platform to expand its 
position in the hospitality and niche retail distribution market . In addition, the directors are of the view that the security which 
CDC will have over the new joint venture entity (JD), provide a potential opportunity for CDC to recover some or all of the 
trade debtor balance owed by the Business (refer Note 7(a)(i)) . 

•  On 27 August 2019 the acquisition of the infant formula and nutritionals mixing plant announced on 4 April 2019 completed 
(refer Note 18(c)(i) . The plant has obtained full customs and AQIS clearance and has now been re-located to Camperdown, 
Victoria .   

In the opinion of the directors there were no other material matters that have arisen since 30 June 2019 that have significantly 
affected or may significantly affect the Group, that are not disclosed elsewhere in this report or in the accompanying financial 
statements .

NOTE 28: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s principal financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, accounts payable, bank 
loans and leases . 

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 9 as detailed in the accounting policies to 
these financial statements, are as follows:

The main purpose of the financial instruments listed is to raise finance for the Group’s operations when the board considers it 
appropriate. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise 
directly from its operations. Risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments include interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit 
risk . The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below . 

Treasury Risk Management 

The board considers financial risk exposure to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic 
conditions and forecasts. The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while 
minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are reviewed by the board when 
necessary. These include the use of credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 28: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

Financial Risk Exposures and Management 

(a) Credit risk

The Group trades only with parties that it believes to be creditworthy . The maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the 
financial assets’ carrying value. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit 
verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis, however the Group will always have 
exposure to potential bad debts (see also Note 7) .

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, bonds 
and deposits, the Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the 
carrying amount of those instruments . The Group generally does not require third party collateral .

(b)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its 
obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

•

preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;

• monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

•

obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

• maintaining a reputable credit profile;

• managing credit risk related to financial assets;

investing surplus cash with appropriately regulated financial institutions; and

comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

•

•

• 

The table below presents maturity of the Group’s financial instruments. Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect 
management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash 
flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates taking into consideration 
management expectations that Group banking facilities will be extended .

(c) Market risk

Interest rate risk 

The Group at the date of this report has debt exposure through $641,402 in fixed rate facilities, $12,054,000 in variable rate 
facilities, and $3,748,550 in variable rate cash balances.

Sensitivity Analysis

The Group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to variable interest rate at balance date . This sensitivity 
analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in this risk.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2019, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining 
constant would be as follows:

Change in profit

- Increase in interest rate by 1%

- Decrease in interest rate by 1%

Change in equity

- Increase in interest rate by 1%

- Decrease in interest rate by 1%

Australian Dairy Nutritionals Group Annual Report 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

NOTE 28: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (cont’d)

The fair values disclosed in the above table have been determined based on the following methodologies:

(i)  Cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, bonds and deposits and trade and other payables are short-term 

instruments in nature whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value . 

(ii)  Fair values on borrowings are determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporating current commercial borrowing 

rates . 

NOTE 29: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition:

• 

biological assets .

The Group may measure some items of property at fair value on a non-recurring basis . The Group does not subsequently measure 
any other assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis .

(a)    Fair Value Hierarchy

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which 
categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to 
the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Measurements based on quoted prices 
(unadjusted) in active markets for 
identical assets or liabilities that the 
entity can access at the measurement 
date .

Measurements based on inputs 
other than quoted prices included in 
Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly or 
indirectly .

Measurements 
based on 
unobservable inputs 
for the asset or 
liability .

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one valuation technique . This 
valuation technique maximises, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. All significant inputs required to measure 
fair value are observable, therefore the asset or liability or is included in Level 2 . 

The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to 
measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or 
liability being measured . The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with the following valuation approach:

•  Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for 

identical or similar assets or liabilities .

This valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or 
liability including assumptions about risks . When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that 
maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs . Inputs that are developed using market data 
(such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally 
use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and 
therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable .

The following tables provide the fair values of the Group’s assets measured and recognised on a recurring basis after initial 
recognition and their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy:
