In 1966, we began our journey as Burnett Permanent Building Society in Bundaberg, establishing our roots as the bank that best serves the financial, and particularly home lending, needs of the local community. Over the years, a desire to grow and share a unique banking experience has transformed Auswide Bank into a regional bank with branches across Queensland and customers across Australia. Despite our growth into new markets, our philosophy remains the same - putting the community first and making a big difference to our customers. A history of mutual relationships underpins our ability to consistently provide the best banking. These relationships are the reason we have weathered years of economic cycles, significant changes in community and society attitudes, and massive advances in technology and communication. Today, Auswide Bank is stronger, fitter and more capable than ever to deliver exceptional banking for our customers. Being a successful and trusted bank in Queensland for 50 years is a significant achievement that proves that it is the small things that make a big difference. AUSWIDE BANK / 5 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Auswide Bank continued to improve its customer service skills and capabilities during the year, which supported organic growth momentum and a solid financial performance. I am pleased to report that Auswide Bank‘s financial results in 2015/16 represents another year of improvement, with a 2.8 per cent increase in underlying cash Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) to $14.041 million for the consolidated group. Statutory NPAT for the consolidated group was $11.699 million, compared to the 2014/15 figure of $13.262 million. This figure was impacted by one-off expenses totalling $3.788 million (before tax) including merger and acquisition costs of $2.836 million, $848,000 for branch rationalisation and rebranding expenses, and other professional costs. Auswide Bank’s organic growth continued to gain momentum over the course of the year, and this is one of the most pleasing aspects of the Company’s performance. We have been able to achieve this because of the improvements that have been made to our organisational capabilities in retail and business banking, third party broker relationships and omni-channel delivery. We are excited that our customers can now do business with Auswide Bank wherever and whenever they choose – online or by mobile banking application, over the phone, through a broker or in person at one of our branches. Most importantly, our improving organisational capabilities and the positive attitude of our staff means that our customers enjoy outstanding service through all of these channels. During 2015/16, we completed a successful merger with Your Credit Union (YCU). We welcomed more than 4,000 new customers and shareholders, many of whom will recently have received their first dividend from Auswide Bank. YCU customers voted overwhelmingly in favour of becoming customers and shareholders of Auswide Bank, reinforcing that they value the products and exceptional customer service we provide. This was the first merger between a listed bank and mutual organisation in more than a decade and favourably positions Auswide Bank as a merger partner for other mutuals. As a result of organic growth and our merger, assets of the company now exceed $3 billion. On the basis of the continued improvement in the Company’s financial performance and our strong capital position, the Board has declared a fully franked final dividend of 16.0 cents per share. This brings the total dividend for 2015/16 to 30.0 cents per share fully franked, which is in line with last financial year. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan was reinstated for the interim dividend and will continue for the final dividend with a discount of 2.5 per cent. The improved performance of Auswide Bank is a result of the organisation delivering on the initial three-year Strategic Plan to strengthen and reposition the business. The Board approved a refreshed three-year Plan in March 2016, with a continued focus on improvements that will enhance the experience we provide for our customers, generate sustainable cost efficiencies and support continued organic growth. 6 / ANNUAL REPORT I would like to thank my fellow directors for their dedication and insights in guiding the Company throughout the year. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank our shareholders, customers and business partners for your continued support of Auswide Bank. John Humphrey Chairman The new Strategic Plan also identifies some areas in which we will seek to accelerate performance improvement through streamlining and automating back office systems and processes, as well as leveraging our investments in YCU and the peer-to-peer lender, MoneyPlace. As we celebrate our 50th year of operations, it is pleasing to see that our business continues to grow and create value for shareholders because we remain focused on our foundation values to put our customers first and support them with exceptional banking service. The continued positive performance of Auswide Bank and the returns generated for shareholders are the result of the efforts of our employees and management team. The hard work of Martin Barrett and his team to ensure all of our people understand the role they play in delivering our brand promise, has been central to these achievements. AUSWIDE BANK / 7 MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT Auswide Bank built on the momentum achieved since 2013 and delivered another year of organic growth across the business. We continued to build organisational capabilities that make customer experience the central element of all our operations. Our progress in strengthening and repositioning the business underpinned a solid financial performance for 2015/16. Net Interest Revenue increased by 6.1 per cent to $53.892 million in 2015/16, compared with $50.806 million in the previous financial year. We reported an 8.9 per cent expansion of our underlying loan book, to $2.537 billion at 30 June 2016. The result was above system growth and while lending activity retreated in our traditional Central and North Queensland markets, we expanded our position in South-East Queensland which now makes up more than one-third of the loan book. Taking account of the loans acquired through the Your Credit Union (YCU) merger, Auswide Bank’s loan book grew by 14.4 per cent to $2.666 billion. Home loan approvals in 2015/16 totalled $591.571 million, which represents an increase of 31.7 per cent compared with the previous financial year. The growth was balanced between Auswide Bank’s retail and third party channels, with our broker and mortgage alliance platform contributing approximately 60 per cent of loan originations in the period. In spite of an increasingly competitive lending market, Net Interest Margin remained stable at 196 basis points, compared with 198 basis points for the previous financial year. 8 / ANNUAL REPORT MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT We achieved significant loan book growth without compromising the bank’s prudent approach to risk management or increasing our risk appetite. Total arrears (greater than 30 days past due) increased to $26.0 million from $22.3 million in 2014/15. Despite economic challenges in our traditional markets, arrears remain materially lower than in 2013/14, and the Board is satisfied that adequate provisions have been made for risks from current and future doubtful debts. Auswide Bank has maintained a strong capital position that will accommodate future lending growth and allow the Board to consider further merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunities. We reported a capital adequacy ratio of 14.3 per cent at 30 June 2016, compared with 15.2 per cent at the end of 2014/15. Our investments in loan funding and M&A projects led to a reduction in the level of capital but this figure remains comfortably above the Board’s target of 13.5 per cent. Outlook The broad drivers of the banking sector are largely unchanged from last year. Interest rates remain at historic lows and intense competition continues to be a feature of the market. As a result, the banking sector, including Auswide Bank, will continue to manage margin pressures. Challenging economic conditions continue to confront retail and business customers in our traditional Central and Northern Queensland markets. This has been more than offset by our growing presence in South-East Queensland, and nationally through our digital platform and third party broker relationships. In spite of these pressures, we remain reasonably optimistic about our abilities to maintain loan book growth in the year ahead. The integration of YCU into Auswide Bank represents a significant growth opportunity in 2016/17 and beyond. Auswide Bank’s balance sheet strength also gives us the opportunity to pursue other consolidation opportunities as an avenue for growth. Over the past three years, we have substantially expanded Auswide Bank’s organisational capabilities to offer our customers exceptional service which in turn drives organic growth. In the year ahead, we will continue to develop those capabilities and look to leverage them to strengthen our competitive position and build on the momentum we have achieved. We will focus on finding new and better ways to delight our customers by capitalising on our market position as a smaller bank that is close to its customers. The Auswide Bank ‘Small things, Big difference’ brand promise is all about knowing our customers and responding to their needs. It is part of our DNA and something we will continue to foster as we celebrate our first 50 years and look to the future. I would like to thank our staff, the Board, our shareholders and most of all, our customers for their continued support throughout the year. Martin Barrett Managing Director AUSWIDE BANK / 9 RENEWING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN The progress we’ve achieved in strengthening and repositioning Auswide Bank under our 2013–2016 Strategic Plan will be continued under a new three-year plan approved by the Board in March. Using this foundation, the 2016–2019 Strategic Plan sets out how we will leverage that investment to further strengthen the business and extend our market position to create value for our shareholders. The Plan maintains our path of transforming our business processes, pursuing strategic acquisitions and partnerships, focusing on our customers and communities, building the capabilities of our people, target investments in technology and grow our risk management culture. Transforming our business In regard to transforming our business we have identified a number of areas in which we can make step changes in the performance of our business. We will expand our efforts to streamline internal systems and processes to generate cost efficiencies and increase the speed of our customer response times. Auswide Bank invested in deploying a new automated loan origination system during the financial year, which has resulted in substantial efficiencies and faster processing of loan applications for customers and brokers. We will continue to automate our administrative processes so that we can manage a larger volume of loan applications more quickly and at lower cost. Strategic Acquisitions and Partnerships Following our recent merger with Your Credit Union (YCU) and partnership with peer-to-peer (P2P) lender, MoneyPlace, we will also look to leverage our position as a leader in pursuing opportunities and creating mutually beneficial partnerships. Our merger with YCU was completed in May 2016 and introduced more than 4,000 new customers to Auswide Bank and provides us with an established Brisbane CBD branch and South-East Queensland presence. This is both a significant growth opportunity in 2016/17 and beyond, and a strategic advantage for us in a consolidating market. 10 / ANNUAL REPORT The new Strategic Plan identifies mergers and acquisitions as an area of focus, and we will continue to actively consider and pursue opportunities that align with our strategy and strengthen our competitive position. The fact that we were the first listed bank to complete a merger with a mutual organisation in more than ten years has raised the profile of Auswide Bank as a potential merger partner in the mutual sector. We have captured the many lessons from the YCU merger and developed systems and processes that enable us to move quickly to facilitate a transaction, as well as streamline any integration to realise revenue and cost synergies, while ensuring the customer value proposition. Our strategic investment in MoneyPlace, Australia’s second licenced P2P lender in a market that has an estimated value of $50 billion, is contributing to the expansion of our personal lending portfolio. We have acquired a 19.3 per cent stake in the business and will provide conditional funding of up to $60 million over five years for personal lending. This strategic relationship has increased our understanding of the fast moving fintech sector of our industry. The future of financial services is becoming increasingly digital, and our Plan calls for us to continue to pursue ‘win win’ fintech partnerships through which we can leverage our funding capacity to reach new customers. The Plan maintains our path of transforming our business processes, pursuing strategic acquisitions and partnerships AUSWIDE BANK / 11 We have re-shaped our organisational structure to place increased emphasis on customer service and continue to build our capabilities in this critical area ENHANCING OUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE As a regional bank with a strong community focus, Auswide Bank’s ability to provide outstanding customer service is a key competitive advantage. However, as we expand into new markets, our Strategic Plan highlights the need to build on this advantage by making all customers the principal consideration in all of the business decisions we make. We have re-shaped our organisational structure to place increased emphasis on customer service and continue to build our capabilities in this critical area. Auswide Bank has established the role of Chief Customer Officer and appointed experienced banking executive, Damian Hearne with responsibility for retail and business banking sales and distribution teams, third party relationships, and marketing and product initiatives. This new customer management structure aligns all of our customer-facing functions in a single team, giving the customer a greater voice in shaping the way we do business. The revitalisation of our branch network was completed in 2015/16 with upgrades to branches in Maryborough, Gympie, Nambour, Townsville and Bundaberg. The branches have been re-branded and upgraded to create a more modern environment in which our customers can have genuine conversations about their financial needs with our people. Introducing attractive and competitive new products that can be accessed through all of our traditional and digital channels is an important element of customer experience and maintaining our competition position. In 2015/16, some of our new product initiatives included enhancements to our mobile banking app, introducing online home loan redraw, and expanding Visa Debit Card capability and business banking support. We are planning to launch new products and services in the current financial year, including: • developing our home and personal loan products to meet the needs of a broader group of borrowers • enhancing our savings options with attractive new features • offering credit cards provided by Auswide Bank and backed by our own balance sheet • new functionality that will allow customers to apply for personal loans and open accounts online • upgrades to our existing internet banking and mobile banking applications. 12 / ANNUAL REPORT The research also highlighted a need to promote our brand more widely. In June, we responded by launching our first major brand campaign as a bank. The Big-Hearted Bank creative concept behind the campaign reinforces our ‘Small things, Big difference’ brand promise that focuses on building personal relationships with our customers. The campaign is being rolled out nationally through television, billboard and online advertising to support our growth plans. During the year, Auswide Bank commissioned independent brand awareness and customer satisfaction research to understand how we are seen by our customers as well as people who bank with other institutions. Almost 75 per cent of people we surveyed nationally rated Auswide Bank positively compared with other banks based on our friendly and reliable customer service. More than 80 per cent of our customers said they were likely or very likely to recommend Auswide Bank to their friends and family. Our vision is to become “the bank that our customers, staff and partners want their friends, family and colleagues to bank with” and we are delighted that so many customers are willing to be advocates for us. AUSWIDE BANK / 13 SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY For 50 years, Auswide Bank has been an active member of our local community, helping schools, groups and clubs to achieve their aims through sponsorships and in-kind contributions covering a wide range of interests and endeavours. Grants and sponsorships are a tangible way we can make a positive difference for local community organisations, a focus of the strategic plan The Auswide Bank ‘Our Community’ grants scheme provides vital funding for community projects and events. Over the course of the year, over 57 projects received our support. Young people who contribute to their communities are an important element of our community connections. In 2015/16, Auswide Bank was a key sponsor of the Queensland Young Achievers Awards, providing each recipient with a cash grant as recognition of their outstanding achievements. During the year, Auswide Bank renewed our relationship with CQUniversity with a three-year scholarship agreement valued at $50,000 to support Central Queensland’s next generation of business leaders. Our 50th birthday has been an opportunity to celebrate our community roots. Customer and community events were held across our network. Auswide Bank’s ‘Loan Referral Program’ provides further support for not-for- profit organisations through a mutually beneficial incentive program. Accredited referrers are rewarded when they refer a new home or personal loan customer to Auswide Bank. We are proud to make a contribution in ways that benefit our communities and Auswide Bank. Our ongoing financial and in-kind support helps our community partners to achieve their aims, and reinforces that Auswide is the bank that our customers, staff and partners want their friends, family and colleagues to bank with. 14 / ANNUAL REPORT EMPOWERING OUR PEOPLE At Auswide Bank, our people are our brand. Empowering our people to live our brand and values is essential to our ongoing success and growth as highlighted in the Strategic Plan. Our new mission and vision place our customers at the centre of everything we do. They also provide our people with a focus on customer advocacy that supports our growth strategy. Empowering our people through professional development and training ensures we continue to meet the high expectations of our shareholders, customers and business partners. During the year, Auswide Bank conducted Brand Culture workshops with our people throughout the business. These discussions helped to re-position our brand, values, vision and mission to support long term passionate employees. Employee engagement surveys after the workshops have shown significant and positive support for embracing our brand values. Our new values, Empower, are a simple idea that positions our teams to take the initiative in delivering excellent customer service and build rapport with customers. These value help to ensure that our actions with customers live up to Auswide’s brand promise: Small things, Big difference. Some of the learning and development initiatives during 2015-16 included: • training to support key technology rollouts in our core banking system and our new loan origination system that are being utilised across our retail banking, business banking and third party mortgage broker alliances • continued use and development of our eLearning platforms and SalesMAX programme enhance the capabilities of our staff and satisfy our regulatory training obligations. Our people have been given a spotlight on Auswide Bank’s Facebook page through personal profiles. This personalises and promotes the ‘Big- Hearted Bank’ philosophy and connects our people to a broader audience. AUSWIDE BANK / 15 Feature upgrades are also planned for Internet Banking and our Mobile App 16 / ANNUAL REPORT INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY Each year, the banking market becomes more competitive and our customers demand more digital products. This makes our technology capabilities critical to providing exceptional customer service. Our Strategic Plan directs how we invest in and manage technology to focus on: • delivering superior customer service • offering competitive products and services • maintaining secure and efficient systems • leveraging data to better understand and meet our customers’ needs. In June 2016, we completed deployment of the first phase of our new loan origination system, Lendfast. Automated valuations, credit policy assessment, and customer identification and screening have already led to faster loan processing at lower cost to the business. Our customers now benefit from automated communications at each milestone during the loan application process, as well as electronic document capture and automated credit assessment. Lendfast also provides our third party brokers with an automated channel to lodge customer loan applications via the broker centric NextGen platform. Lendfast will soon offer brokers the same improved communication at each loan application milestone and online document lodgement through the Loan Tracker portal. The use of data to drive decisions within the business continues to gain momentum with the establishment of a dedicated Business Intelligence team that develops tools to reveal “real time” business and customer insights. This work is helping us to better understand our customers’ needs and behaviours, so that we can continue to improve the service we provide through all our channels. Further feature upgrades are also planned during 2016/17 for Internet Banking and our Mobile App to ensure we deliver banking services at any time and in any place. Planning for the next generation technology platform to drive Auswide Bank’s business to 2020 is also underway. The platform will provide fast and secure end to end processing capabilities across the business to create sustainable efficiencies and improve customer service. AUSWIDE BANK / 17 18 / ANNUAL REPORT MANAGING RISK Auswide Bank has a comprehensive risk and compliance management program to actively eliminate risk where possible, and mitigate and minimise the impact of those risks that cannot be eliminated. Our risk management culture underpins the effectiveness of our Strategic Plan. An organisation-wide risk culture survey conducted during the year demonstrated that our people have a strong orientation to ‘own risk’ and accept personal responsibility to manage it across each business unit. Empower, as our brand’s newest value, encourages staff to harness this attitude, reinforcing our ‘Three Lines of Defence’ risk management model. Line 1 – Business Units. As part of their normal operations, business units manage risk. Line 2 – Risk and Compliance Management. Our Risk and Compliance Management team maintain an integrated risk management framework and provide support, supervision and expertise to support the business. The team measures risk exposures to support the decisions of the business, provides reporting to the Board and management, and makes credit risk decisions under approved delegations and loan portfolio management. Line 3 – Audit Management. During the reporting year, Auswide Bank outsourced our internal audit function to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). This has allowed the bank to improve the capabilities to review our internal controls, risk management processes, and governance systems and identifies more ways to support and provide assurance on these functions. All our staff continue to make considerable improvements across the organisation to enhance the risk and compliance culture of the business. Their hard work this year has resulted in our arrears level being well managed and Standard & Poor’s reaffirming our issues credit ratings as ‘BBB’ stable. Throughout the year, we continued to focus on: • our people – training to increase capabilities of the Risk and Compliance staff • continuous review and refinement of credit policies to meet the expectations of businesses and customers in a sustainable fashion • sustainability – continuous improvement working towards reducing arrears levels • regulatory change – monitoring regulations outlined by APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 220 Risk Management • technology solutions – implementation of our new loan origination system, Lendfast, that allows: – automation of the decision to lend in line with Auswide Bank’s credit risk appetite – instantaneous credit decisions for our customers and brokers including outside business hours – consistent and paperless loan application process which is integrated with other external systems – capacity for growth.

Mortgage Risk Management Pty Ltd (MRM) The Board announced on 13 August 2015 the effective date of 30 September 2015 to wind up the captive lenders’ mortgage insurance subsidiary, MRM. MRM was Auswide Bank Ltd’s wholly owned lenders’ mortgage insurer, which ceased writing new business in August 2012. In response to a formal application by MRM, APRA revoked the authorisation under subsection 12(2) of the Insurance Act 1973, to carry on insurance business in Australia, effective 17 December 2015. The credit risk and provisions were transferred to the balance sheet of the parent entity. risk and audit processes and capital strength; and • Review of M&A and Fintech opportunities as they arise. Merger Implementation In December 2015 Auswide Bank and Queensland Professional Credit Union Ltd (trading as YCU – Your Credit Union) entered into a Merger Implementation Agreement under which the two parties agreed to proceed with a merger proposal by way of a scheme of arrangement between YCU and its members. In April 2016 YCU members voted in favour of the merger proposal (which involved the demutualisation of YCU) and the required prudential regulatory approvals were granted. The merger was a strategic acquisition for Auswide with the addition of a branch in the Brisbane CBD and in excess of 4,000 new customers for the bank. The transaction represented the first merger between a listed ADI and a mutual in 11 years. On 19 May 2016 the court approved Scheme of Arrangement was implemented, and Auswide Bank acquired 100 percent of the shares of YCU. Each eligible YCU member received $4,055 in cash and 696 new Auswide Bank Ltd shares for their membership interest. The total consideration transferred by Auswide Bank was $30,818,434, which was comprised of $16,584,949 cash and $14,233,485 of new shares issued (2,846,640 shares at $5.0001 per share). The integration of the systems and products of YCU with those of Auswide Bank is currently underway. This is expected to be materially completed by the end of September 2016. Financial synergies expected from the transaction have been realised and will add to operating profit in the future. Investment in MoneyPlace On 16 December 2015 Auswide Bank announced it would be entering into a strategic relationship and equity investment with MoneyPlace, Australia’s second fully licenced peer- to-peer (P2P) lender. The long term relationship includes a conditional five year deal to fund up to $60m to invest in consumer loans. In addition, Auswide Bank has acquired a 19.3% equity stake in MoneyPlace which settled on 4 January 2016. MoneyPlace launched in October 2015 after receiving its retail and wholesale Australian Financial Services licence and provides loans of $5,000 to $35,000 through its P2P platform. 24 / ANNUAL REPORT Branch network The rebranding of Auswide Bank which commenced in the 2014/15 financial year has included the roll-out of the branch refurbishment plan, creating a more modern look and customer-friendly experience across our branch locations. Six branch upgrades were completed during 2015/16 and additional branches have been identified for 2016/17. Some branches have been closed, amalgamated or relocated to locations which will provide more opportunity. There is an ongoing review of the existing branch footprint to ensure it delivers a strong performance for both shareholders and customers. The branches which have been refurbished in the 2015/16 year include Maryborough, Gympie, Nambour and Townsville branches and 2 branches in Bundaberg at Sugarland and the Barolin Street head office. Technology Auswide has invested in the deployment of a new automated loan origination system which has resulted in significant processing efficiencies. Loan origination now uses automated valuation request and fulfilment, credit policy assessment and exception management, customer identification and AML screening. Further stakeholder benefits include back channel messaging at origination milestones, and electronic document capture and assessment. Brokers now have an automated lodgment channel and will soon have the same back channel milestone communication and online document lodgment as the retail network. The investment in the loan origination automation is expected to result in further efficiencies as cost effective procedures are implemented across the 2016/17 year. Net Interest Margin Competition in the home loan market has continued across the 2015/16 financial year with interest rates at historical lows. Auswide has been able to manage the NIM to reflect a stable performance across the 2015/16 financial year when compared to the prior corresponding period. The net margin and interest spread for the 2015/16 year was 1.96% compared to 1.98% in the 2014/15 financial year. Arrears and collections The Arrears Project implemented in prior years has continued to deliver positive results in the arrears of the group. In accordance with data disclosed in the financial accounts of the bank, total arrears greater than 30 days past due (excluding the effects of hardship accounts) increased from $22.3m to $26.6m. Despite economic challenges in some regions of Queensland, the arrears have been maintained at levels materially less than experienced in the 2013/14 financial year. The Board is satisfied that the provisions set aside cover the risks arising from current and future doubtful debts. Risk Strengthening the risk management ‘culture’ of the organisation has been a focus of the Board and management of Auswide in the 2015/16 financial year, and is a key focus in the 2016/17 financial year. There has been increased measurement, monitoring and reporting of risk related matters in the financial year. The Board Risk Committee provides strong oversight of this process and of the risk framework across the organisation. The Board remains focused on the improvement of credit quality as the loan book grows. ACQUISITIONS The Board will continue to monitor opportunities to acquire loan books or suitable institutions as they arise and the Board will review any offers made which may complement the overall operations of the Group. MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR There has been no other matter or circumstance since the end of the financial year that will significantly affect the results of operations in future years or the state of affairs of the company. CAPITAL The capital adequacy ratio for the Auswide Group at 30 June 2016 was 14.31% (2015: 15.15%). The tier 1 capital ratio at 30 June 2016 was 11.90% (2015: 12.59%). The total capital level remains strong and in excess of the Board target of 13.50%.

REMUNERATION REPORT The Board Remuneration Committee consists of independent Directors Mr Barry Dangerfield, Mr Greg Kenny and Ms Sandra Birkensleigh. Mr Barry Dangerfield is Chairman of the Committee. The objective of the Board Remuneration Policy is to maintain behaviour that supports the sustained financial performance and security of Auswide Bank Ltd and to reward efforts which increase shareholder and customer value. This objective is upheld by: • Appropriately balanced measures of performance weighted towards long-term shareholder interests; • Variable performance based pay for Executives/Senior Managers involving a long-term incentive plan subject to an extended period of performance assessment; • Recognition and reward for strong performance; • A considered balance between the capacity to pay and the need to pay to attract and retain capable staff at all levels; • The exercise of Board discretion as an ultimate means to mitigate unintended consequences of variable pay and to preserve the interests of the shareholders; and • Short-term and long-term incentive performance criteria are structured within the overall risk management framework of the Company. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors The fees payable for Non-Executive Directors are determined with reference to industry standards, the size of the Company, performance and profitability. The Directors’ fees are approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in the aggregate and the individual allocation is approved by the Board. The Company’s Non-Executive Directors receive only fees (including superannuation) for their services. They are not entitled to receive any benefit on retirement or resignation (other than superannuation) and do not participate in any share based remuneration. Remuneration of Executive Directors and Senior Executives Remuneration of the Managing Director for 2015/16 was subject to review and recommendation of the Remuneration Committee and ratification by the Board. Remuneration of other senior executives for 2015/16 was subject to ratification by the Remuneration Committee. The remuneration policy for executives uses a range of components to focus the Managing Director and senior executives on achieving Auswide Bank’s strategy and business objectives. Auswide’s overall philosophy is to adopt, where possible, a Total Target Reward methodology which links remuneration directly to the performance and behaviour of an individual with Auswide’s results. The Total Target Reward framework is designed to: • Reward those who deliver the highest relative performance through the Company’s incentive programs; • Attract, recognise, motivate and retain high performers; • Provide competitive, fair and consistent rewards, benefits and conditions; • Align the interests of senior executives and shareholders through ownership of Company shares. In setting an individual’s Total Target Reward, the Committee considers: • Input from the Company’s Managing Director on the Total Target Reward for senior executives who report directly to the Managing Director; • Market data from comparable roles in the financial services industry; • The performance of both the individual and Auswide Bank Ltd over the last year; and • General remuneration market environment and trends. Each individual’s actual remuneration will reflect: • The degree of individual achievement in meeting key performance measures under the performance management framework; • Parameters approved by the Board based on the Company’s financial and risk performance and other qualitative factors; • Auswide Bank Ltd’s share price performance and relative shareholder returns; and • The timing and level of deferral in relation to any vesting conditions applicable. Components of the Total Target Reward include: • Fixed annual remuneration provided as cash and benefits (including employer superannuation and fringe benefits) (FAR); • Cash based short-term incentive (STI) reflecting both individual and business performance for the current year that supports the longer term objectives of Auswide Bank; and • Equity based long-term incentives (LTI) provided to drive management decisions focused on the long-term prosperity of Auswide Bank through the use of challenging performance hurdles. Performance based payments were made to senior executives under the STI scheme for the year as follows: • Mr M Barrett (Managing Director): $25,000 cash bonus granted 6 November 2015 as an incentive payment for achievement of non-financial Key Performance Indicator (‘KPI’) targets relating to the financial year ended 30 June 2015. These KPI targets included launching the company’s strategic business plan and effective executive team restructure, together with his overall effectiveness as measured against his initial executive service agreement. AUSWIDE BANK / 27 DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT continued 30 JUNE 2016 REMUNERATION REPORT continued Remuneration of Executive Directors and Senior Executives continued Performance based payments were made to senior executives under the LTI scheme for the year as follows: • Mr M Barrett (Managing Director): $37,500 of shares granted 25 February 2016 as an incentive payment for achievement of non-financial Key Performance Indicator (‘KPI’) targets relating to the financial year ended 30 June 2013. These KPI targets included launching the company’s strategic business plan and effective executive team restructure, together with his overall effectiveness as measured against his initial executive service agreement. KPI targets were considered by the Remuneration Committee to be appropriate measures of performance as these had been specifically chosen for each executive with the overall aim of achieving the strategy and business objectives of the Company. The KPI targets for the Managing Director were assessed by the Remuneration Committee. The KPI targets for the other senior executives were assessed by the Managing Director and then ratified by the Remuneration Committee. No incentive payments based on financial KPIs were made during the year.

INDEMNITIES AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR OFFICERS AND AUDITORS NON-AUDIT SERVICES During the year, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the Company’s Auditor, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. During the financial year the Company has paid premiums to indemnify Directors and Officers against personal losses arising from their respective positions within the Company. During the reporting period and subsequent to 30 June 2016, no amounts have been paid under the indemnities by the Company. The Directors and Officers of the Company and its subsidiaries are insured against certain liabilities arising in the course of their duties. This premium is paid by the Company but under the confidentiality provisions of this policy, the Directors have not disclosed the nature of the liability, the insurer, the limit of liability, or the premiums paid. The company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the Auditor, and in accordance with advice provided by the Board Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the Auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: • All non-audit services were subject to the Corporate Governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Board Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the Auditor, and • The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the Auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards. A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration, as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, is included in the Directors’ Statutory Report. 32 / ANNUAL REPORT Non-audit services paid to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu are as follows: Services provided in connection with: Tax advisory services Other assurance services Non-audit services paid to Bentleys are as follows: Services provided in connection with: Tax advisory services Other assurance services Other services 2016 $ 61,107 51,539 112,646 2016 $ – – – – 2015 $ – 16,414 16,414 2015 $ 24,741 6,753 1,883 33,377 This Report is signed for and on behalf of the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group (or the ‘Consolidated Entity’), consisting of Auswide Bank Ltd (‘the Company’) and subsidiaries, and the separate financial statements of Auswide Bank Ltd as an individual parent entity. Auswide Bank Ltd is a for–profit listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements comply with all International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) in their entirety. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for land and buildings, hedging instruments, financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss, and available–for–sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The presentation currency of the financial statements is Australian Dollars (AUD). The following is a summary of the material accounting policies applied by the Group in the preparation of the financial statements. Except where stated, the accounting policies have been consistently applied. (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Auswide Bank Ltd (‘the Company’), being the parent entity, and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the Group. Control is achieved when the Company: • has power over the investee; • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company has power when it has rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. The Group not only has to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes. The existence and effect of potential voting rights where the Group has the practical ability to exercise them are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The Company reassesses whether it has control of an investee if facts and circumstances indicate changes to the aforementioned elements have occurred. A list of the controlled entities is provided in Note 11. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de–consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the consolidated entity are presented as ‘non–controlling interests’. The consolidated entity initially recognises non–controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non–controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non–controlling interests are attributed their share of profits or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non–controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. (c) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash–generating units (or groups of cash– generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. A cash–generating unit or groups of cash–generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash–generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. (d) Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the date on which the investee becomes an associate. The financial statements of the associate are used by the Group to apply the equity method. The reporting dates and accounting policies of the associate have been aligned to that of the Group where necessary. 42 / ANNUAL REPORT Investments in an associate are carried in the consolidated and parent entity statement of financial position at cost plus post– acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment in value. The consolidated and parent entity profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the associate’s equity, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated and parent entity statement of changes in equity. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Rental income from operating leases where the Group is lessor is recognised in profit or loss on a straight–line basis over the lease term. The respective leased assets are included in the Statement of Financial Position based on their nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight–line basis over the lease term. (e) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Interest revenue: Loan interest revenue is calculated on the daily loan balance outstanding and charged in arrears to the customer’s loan account. Loan interest revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. When a loan is classified as impaired, the Group generally ceases to recognise interest and other income earned but not yet received. Loan interest is generally not brought to account if a loan has been transferred to a debt collection agency, or a judgement has been obtained. Dividend revenue: Dividend revenue is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive the payment is established. Fees and commissions: Fees and commissions are recognised on an accrual basis once a right to receive consideration has been attained or when service to the customer has been rendered. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). (f) Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the Group are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. The corresponding 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 asset’s expected useful life where it is likely that the Group will obtain ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term or over the shorter of the asset’s expected useful life and the lease term where there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. (g) Employee benefits Provision is made for the liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Short–term employee benefits Liabilities for wages, salaries, sick leave and bonuses, that are expected to be settled wholly within twelve months of the end of the reporting period are recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of employee services provided to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on–costs. Long–term employee benefits Liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled within twelve months of the end of the reporting period. They are recognised as provisions for employee benefits and are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to expected future salary and wage increases and periods of service. Regardless of when settlement is expected to occur, liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are presented as current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period. Superannuation Contributions are made by the Group to an employees’ superannuation fund and are charged as an expense when incurred. The Group has no legal obligation to cover any shortfall in the fund’s obligation to provide benefits to employees on retirement. (h) Taxation Income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. The income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. AUSWIDE BANK / 43 NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (h) Taxation continued Deferred income tax loss is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited to profit or loss except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. Tax consolidation legislation The Company and all its wholly–owned Australian resident entities have formed an income tax consolidated Group under the Australian Consolidation System as of the financial year ended 30 June 2008. Auswide Bank Ltd is the head entity in the tax consolidated Group, and as a consequence recognises current and deferred tax amounts relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly–owned Australian controlled entities in this Group as if those transactions, events and balances were its own, in addition to the current and deferred tax amounts arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances. The tax consolidated Group has not entered into a tax sharing agreement. (i) 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. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. (j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short–term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. (k) Financial instruments Recognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below. Financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A financial asset is classified as fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non–derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. Held-to-maturity investments Investment with fixed maturities that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments. These investments are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. 44 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale investments are non–derivative investments that are not designated as another category of financial assets. Unquoted equity securities, whose fair value cannot be reliability measured, are carried at cost. Other available–for– sale assets that are traded in an active market are stated at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly through equity through other comprehensive income. Financial liabilities and equity instruments Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the asset of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group entity are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Equity instruments include contributed equity. In the case of available–for–sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 1(n) for further details regarding impairment of financial assets. Derivative financial instruments The Group enters into derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at FVTPL’ or ‘other financial liabilities’. Hedge accounting The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include interest rate swaps, as cash flow hedges. Financial liabilities are classified at FVTPL when the liability is either held for trading or is designated as at FVTPL. These liabilities are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, trade payables and other non–derivative financial liabilities are originally measured at fair value. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Derecognition The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment Other than for assets held at FVTPL, the Group assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired, at each reporting date. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of cash flow hedging reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item. Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non–financial asset or a non–financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non–financial asset or non– financial liability. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the consolidated entity revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss. AUSWIDE BANK / 45 NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (l) Property, plant and equipment Freehold land and buildings are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent depreciation for buildings and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is not depreciated. Revalued amounts are based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the re–valued amount of the asset. Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. 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 charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of freehold land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated within equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously expensed. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready 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 depreciation periods used for each class of depreciable assets are: • Buildings – 40 years • Plant and equipment – 4 to 6 years • Leasehold improvements – 4 to 6 years or the term of the lease, whichever is the lesser The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. (m) Intangible assets Purchased items of computer software which are not integral to the computer hardware owned by the Group are classified as intangible assets. Intangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. Computer software has a finite life and accordingly is amortised on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the software. Amortisation periods ranging from 4 to 6 years are applied. An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal processes and the carrying amount of the assets and are taken to profit or loss at the date of derecognition. No internally generated intangible assets are recognised by the Group. (n) Impairment of assets At the end of each reporting period, the Board assesses whether there is any indication that its tangible and intangible assets may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information, including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (for example, in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash–generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use. Further impairment considerations are discussed within the respective policy note throughout this section. 46 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016Loans and advances – doubtful debts A provision for losses on impaired loans is recognised when objective evidence is available that a loss event has occurred and as a consequence it is not likely that all amounts owed will be received. Specific provisions for doubtful debts are recognised for individual loans that are identified as impaired by undertaking an assessment of estimated future cash flows. Collective provisions are determined by segmenting the portfolio into asset classes with similar credit risk characteristics. Each exposure within each segment is allocated a probability of default and a loss given default percentage to calculate an expected loss. Key elements determining the segmentation of an exposure include the product type, LVR, whether the exposure is covered by Lenders’ Mortgage Insurance and the arrears position. Where loan terms have been renegotiated (e.g. loans provided hardship relief), impairment provisioning is determined on the basis of the arrears position as if the renegotiation had not taken place. Restructured loans are returned to performing status after meeting restructured terms for a minimum six month period. A reserve for credit losses is also maintained to cover risks inherent in the loan portfolio. Movements in the reserve for credit losses are recognised as an appropriation of retained earnings. Bad debts are written off, as determined by management, when it is reasonable to expect that the recovery of the debt is unlikely. All write–offs are on a case–by–case basis, taking into account the exposure at the date of the write–off. On secured loans, the write–off takes place following ultimate realisation of collateral value. Bad debts are written off against the provision for impairment where impairment has previously been recognised in relation to a loan. If no provision for impairment has previously been recognised, write–offs for bad debts are recognised as expenses in profit or loss. (o) Deposits Deposits are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest on deposits is recognised on an accruals basis. Interest accrued at reporting date is shown as part of deposits. (p) Securitisation Where the Group enters into transactions that transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets, the Group derecognises the transferred assets. Where the Group enters into transactions that transfer assets recognised on its Statement of Financial Position, but retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognised and a secured liability for funds raised is recognised. In transactions in which the Group neither retains nor transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and it retains control over the asset, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. Refer to Note 10 for further details regarding the securitisation structure in place. (q) 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 that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. 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 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 (i.e. the market with 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 (i.e. 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. In measuring fair value, the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are received at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories are as follows: Level 1 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2 Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Measurement 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 or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3. AUSWIDE BANK / 47 NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (q) Fair value of assets and liabilities continued Valuation techniques: 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 economic entity are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: Market approach Valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities. Income approach Valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value. Cost approach Valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity. Each 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 priorities 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 that 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. For recurring and non–recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is ether not available or when the valuation is determined to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. 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 instrument, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held in 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. (r) Business combinations Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition–date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition–related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that: • deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ and AASB 119 ‘Employee Benefits’ respectively; • liabilities or equity instruments related to share–based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share–based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share–based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share–based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non–current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ are measured in accordance with that Standard. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non–controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition–date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition–date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non–controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. Non–controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non–controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction–by–transaction basis. Other types of non–controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another Standard. Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition–date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. 48 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016Management have made critical accounting estimates when applying the Group’s accounting policies with respect to the impairment of financial assets, loans and advances, other investments and goodwill– refer Notes 9, 10, 11 and 14, respectively. Management have made significant judgements when applying the Group’s accounting policies with respect to loans assigned to a special purpose vehicle used for securitisation purposes – refer to Note 10. Management have made critical accounting estimates and judgement in relation to the assessment of the fair value of the assets and liabilities on the date of acquisition of Queensland Professional Credit Union (YCU) – refer to Note 33. In addition, details on critical estimates and judgements in respect of credit risk are disclosed in Note 32. (u) Application of new and revised Accounting Standards Amendments to AASBs and the new interpretations that are mandatorily effective for the current year The Group applied, for the first time, certain standards and amendments which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. • AASB 2015–3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality’ • AASB 2015–4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Financial Reporting Requirements for Australian Group with a Foreign Parent’ The adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any material impact on the current or any prior period and are not likely to materially affect future periods. The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, or AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. (s) Comparative figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. (t) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. AUSWIDE BANK / 49 NOTE 1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued (u) Application of new and revised Accounting Standards continued Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2016 reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. Standard/Interpretation Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after Expected to be initially applied in the financial year ending AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’, and the relevant amending standards 1 January 2018 30 June 2019 AASB 15 ‘ Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ and AASB 2014–5 ‘ Amendments to Australian Accounting standards arising from AASB 15’ AASB 16 ‘ Leases’ AASB 2014–3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interest in Joint Operations’ AASB 2014–4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation’ AASB 2014–6 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Agriculture: Bearer Plants’ AASB 2014–9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards– Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements’ AASB 2014–10 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Sale of Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture’ 1 January 2018 1 January 2019 30 June 2019 30 June 2020 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 AASB 2015–1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012–2014 Cycle’ 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 AASB 2015–2 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 101’ AASB 2015–5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception’ 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 1 January 2016 30 June 2017 AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2014) (application date 30 June 2019) The AASB has issued complete AASB 9. The new standard includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment, and supplements the new general hedge accounting requirements previously published. This supersedes AASB 9 (issued in December 2009– as amended) and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010). AASB 9 may have a potential increase in the Group’s loan and advances provisioning. However, the Group has not yet fully assessed the impact of AASB 9 (December 2014) as this standard does not mandatorily apply before 1 January 2018. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (application date 30 June 2019) The standard contains a single model that applies to contracts with customers and two approaches to recognition revenue: at a point in time or over time. The model features a contract–based five–step analysis of transactions to determine whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. Management have yet to assess the full impact of this standard. Other standards The Group has not yet assessed the impact of the other listed Standards; however none are expected to have a material impact on future or prior periods. 50 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016NOTE 2 INTEREST REVENUE AND INTEREST EXPENSE The following tables show the average balance for each of the major categories of interest bearing assets and liabilities, the amount of interest revenue or expense and the average interest rate from continuing operations.

All of YCU’s assets, liabilities and obligations, whether actual or contingent were transferred to Auswide Bank Ltd. In addition, all duties, obligations, immunities, rights and privileges which apply to YCU, had YCU continued in existence, apply to Auswide Bank Ltd as a continuation of, and the same legal entity as YCU. The financial accounting for this business combination was prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and as set out in Notes 1(c) & (r), and recognises the acquisition date as 19 May 2016. (b) Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd (MPBS) Pursuant to a bidder’s statement lodged with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission on 15 November 2007, the company issued an off–market takeover offer for 100% of the ordinary shares in Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd (MPBS). On 11 January 2008 the company announced the fulfilment of conditions pertaining to the off–market takeover offer set out in the bidder’s statement and gave notice that the offer was unconditional effective 10 January 2008. In accordance with APRA’s approval for the transfer of business the financial and accounting records of the entities were merged on 1 June 2008. The financial accounting for this business combination was prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and as set out in Notes 1(c) & (r), and recognises the acquisition date as 10 January 2008. Goodwill Consolidated Company 2016 $ 2015 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ 46,363,080 42,057,110 46,363,080 42,057,110 46,363,080 42,057,110 46,363,080 42,057,110 Impairment testing The cash–generating unit selected for impairment testing of goodwill was the Auswide Bank Ltd parent entity, as it is impractical to identify a separate MPBS cash generating unit, or YCU cash generating unit, within the Company and Consolidated entities. The goodwill disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position at 30 June 2016 was supported by the impairment testing and no impairment adjustment was required. Impairment testing of goodwill was carried out by comparing the net present value of cash flows from the cash–generating unit to the carrying value of the cash generating unit. The cash flows were based on projections of future earnings before taxation, depreciation and amortisation, minus forecast capital expenditure. The cash flows have been projected over a period of three years. The terminal value of the business beyond year three has been determined using a constant growth perpetuity. 62 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016The key assumptions used in carrying out the impairment testing were as follows: * Budgeted trading result for the financial years ending 2017/18 * Estimated growth rate Represents the cash–generating potential of the parent entity based on the forecast approved by the Board of Directors. 6.0% (2015: 5.0%) represents growth in cash–generating unit cash flows over years one to three (beyond 30 June 2016). (Such growth is considered to be reasonable by management and the Board of Directors given historical loan book growth and strategic long–term growth targets) * * Terminal growth rate 6.0% (2015: 5.0%) represents the terminal growth rate (beyond three years). Pre–tax discount rate 12.0% (2015: 11.5%) is the pre–tax discount rate used in impairment testing representing the Cost to Equity to the consolidated group at 30 June 2016. The recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value of the cash–generating unit by $124.4m at 30 June 2016 (2015: $33.7m). The trigger points at which the carrying value of cash–generating unit would exceed its recoverable amount, while holding all other variables constant, are as follows: • terminal growth rate – 1.9% (2015: 3.8%); • discount rate – 15.6% (2015: 12.8%); and • average revenue growth rate – 2.1% (2015: 4.6%).

NOTE 30 BUSINESS AND GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENT INFORMATION The company operates predominantly in one industry. The principal activities of the company are confined to the raising of funds and the provision of finance for housing, personal loans and business banking. The company commenced funding personal loans in May 2013. The personal loans portfolio was immaterial at balance date and has not been reported as a segment. Funding of business loans commenced in April 2014. The business loans portfolio was immaterial at balance date and has not been reported as a segment. The company operates principally within the states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. NOTE 31 CONCENTRATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND OFF BALANCE SHEET ITEMS The Directors are satisfied that there is no undue concentration of risk by way of geographical area, customer group or industry group. AUSWIDE BANK / 73 NOTE 32 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: • Capital risk • Market risk • Liquidity risk • Credit risk (a) Capital risk management The Board and Management of Auswide Bank Ltd are responsible for instituting a Risk Management Framework (RMF) including policies and processes to reduce such risks to prudent levels at both a Company and Group level. The Board has established the following committees and delegated responsibilities to develop and monitor risk within their relevant areas and consistent with the Group wide Risk Management Framework: Risk Committee Responsible for constructing and reviewing Auswide Bank Ltd’s risk management policies and procedures and appraising the adequacy of the Risk Management Framework. Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) Audit Committee Responsible for the analysis and management of interest rate risk. Responsible for providing an impartial review of internal and external audit and of Auswide Bank Ltd’s : • statutory reporting; • prudential reporting required by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA); • other financial reporting; and • compliance with laws and regulations. APRA’s Prudential Standard APS 110 Capital Adequacy aims to ensure the Authorised Deposit–taking Institutions (ADI’s) maintain adequate capital, on both an individual and group basis, to act as a buffer against the risks associated with the group’s activities. APRA requires capital to be allocated against credit, market and operational risk, and the group has adopted the ‘standard model’ approach to measure the capital adequacy ratio. The Board of Directors takes responsibility to ensure the Company and Group maintain a level and quality of capital commensurate with the type, amount and concentration of risks to which the company and consolidated group are exposed from their activities. The Board has regard to prospective changes in the risk profile and capital holdings. The Company’s management prepares a three year capital plan and monitors actual risk–based capital ratios on a monthly basis to ensure the capital ratio complies with Board’s targets. The Board’s target is for the capital adequacy ratio to be maintained above 13.5%. During the 2016 and 2015 financial years the capital adequacy ratios of both the Group and Company were maintained above the target ratio, with the exception of the month ended 31 May 2016 where the ratio temporarily fell below the board target due to a delay in issue of a Tier 2 Capital Instrument. At all times the capital ratio was in excess of APRA’s Prescribed Capital Ratio (PCR). The capital adequacy calculations at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 have been prepared in accordance with the revised prudential standards incorporating the Basel III principles. APRA Prudential Standards and Guidance Notes for ADIs provide guidelines for the calculation of capital and specific parameters relating to Tier 1, Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital. Tier 1 capital comprises the highest quality components of capital and includes ordinary share capital, general reserves and retained earnings less specific deductions. Tier 2 capital comprises other capital components including general reserve for credit losses and cumulative subordinated debt. Consistent with Basel III, the approach to capital assessment provides for a quantitative measure of the capital adequacy and focuses on: • credit risk arising from on–balance sheet and off–balance sheet exposures; • market risk arising from trading activities; • operational risk associated with banking activities; • securitisation risks; and • the amount, form and quality of capital held to act as a buffer against these and other exposures. 74 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016Details of the capital adequacy ratio on a Company and consolidated basis are set out below: Total risk weighted assets Capital base Risk-based capital ratio Consolidated Company 2016 $ 2015 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ 1,262,860,678 1,033,792,787 1,261,386,967 1,031,499,262 180,694,838 156,652,308 178,540,918 154,647,013 14.31% 15.15% 14.15% 14.99% (b) Market risk management Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, will affect Auswide Bank Ltd’s income or the worth of its holdings of financial instruments. The Board’s objective is to manage market risk exposures while optimising the return on risk. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of earnings to Auswide Bank Ltd due to adverse movements in interest rates. The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is responsible for the analysis and management of interest rate risk inherent in the balance sheet through balance sheet and financial derivative alternatives. These risks are quantified in the Interest Rate Risk Analysis Report (the ‘Gap Analysis Report’). The ALCO’s function and role are: (i) to review and analyse the interest rate exposures (as set out in the Gap Analysis Report) in the context of current wholesale interest rate settings; to compare the interest rate exposures set out in the Gap Analysis Report against the limits prescribed under Auswide’s Interest Rate Risk Policy limits; to ascertain whether the risks manifested in the Gap Analysis Report are appropriate given the committee’s view on interest rates; to review and analyse: (ii) (iii) (iv) • the maturity profile of cash flow as produced through the Gap Analysis Report; • the concentration in sources and application of funds; • the ability to borrow in various markets; • the potential sources of volatility in assets and liabilities; • the impact of market/operational disruption on cash flow and on customers; and • the ability to undertake asset sales. At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 2.0% higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the group’s net profit would decrease by $10,955,048 or increase by $10,453,066 (2015: decrease by $10,060,065 or increase by $9,782,054). This is mainly due to the company’s exposures to fixed and variable rate loans, and deposit and securitisation liabilities. The sensitivity analysis was derived from the Gap Analysis Report which calculates risk associated with movements in interest rates through the input of parameters for all financial assets and liabilities. The parameters used were consistent with those adopted for the prior period. (c) Liquidity risk management The Board of Directors have approved an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the group’s short, medium and long–term funding and liquidity management requirements. The group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, credit facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, and daily monitoring and forecasting cash flows. Liquidity is monitored by management and a projection of near future liquidity (30 days) is calculated daily. This information is used by management to manage expected liquidity requirements. An additional reserve equivalent to a minimum of 8% of the company’s liability base assessed on a quarterly basis is set aside and isolated as additional liquidity available in a crisis situation via the RBA repurchase facility (Repo). The undrawn limits on the securitisation warehouses were as follows: Securitisation Trust Wide Bay Trust No. 5 Wide Bay Trust No. 6 Total Maturity Analysis Up to 1 year 2016 $ 2015 $ 52,688,446 81,553,957 8,657,495 30,605,288 61,345,941 112,159,245 61,345,941 112,159,245 The maturity analysis for the respective groups of financial assets and liabilities have been included in the notes to the financial statements. AUSWIDE BANK / 75 NOTE 32 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS continued (d) Credit risk management Under the direction of the Board of Directors, management has developed risk management policies and procedures to establish and monitor the credit risk of the company. The risk management procedures define the credit principles, lending policies and the decision making processes which control the credit risk of the company. Credit risk is minimised by the availability and application of insurances including lenders’ mortgage insurance, title insurance, property insurance, mortgage protection insurance and consumer credit insurance. Credit risk in the loan portfolio is managed by protecting all loans in excess of 80% LVR with one of the recognised mortgage insurers and by securing the loans by first mortgages of residential property. The company has a diversified Branch Network consisting of 24 branches and agencies across Queensland, and a business centre in Brisbane city, which conducts the company’s third party and interstate business. All regional loan staff and panel valuers are locally based ensuring an in depth knowledge of the local economy and developments in the real estate market. The Board of Directors and management receive reports on a monthly basis to monitor and supervise the past due loans in the portfolio and ensure credit procedures are adhered to on a timely and accurate basis. The economic entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the balance sheet. The maximum credit risk exposure does not take into account the value of any security held or the value of any mortgage or other insurance to cover the risk exposure. The past due loans and advances for the group (excluding effects of hardship accounts) comprise: 30 days and less than 60 days 60 days and less than 90 days 90 days and less than 182 days 182 days and less than 273 days 273 days and less than 365 days 365 days and over Consolidated Company 2016 $ 2015 $ 2016 $ 2015 $ 4,400,909 7,125,543 4,400,909 7,125,543 6,713,812 3,215,709 6,713,812 3,215,709 8,222,802 3,178,019 8,222,802 3,178,019 2,265,778 1,670,694 2,265,778 1,670,694 553,023 2,463,633 553,023 2,463,633 4,405,670 4,652,942 4,405,670 4,652,942 26,561,994 22,306,540 26,561,994 22,306,540 As at 30 June 2016 there were 18 loans totalling $4,023,172 (30 June 2015: 13 loans totalling $3,903,233) on which interest was not being accrued due to impairment. Concentration of credit risk The company minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to loans receivable by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers principally within the states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. The concentration of the loans and advances throughout Australia are as follows: 2016 % 81.1 9.0 6.9 0.8 1.6 0.1 0.5 2015 % 83.8 8.0 5.9 0.9 1.2 0.1 0.1 100.0 100.0 Queensland New South Wales Victoria South Australia Western Australia Tasmania Northern Territory 76 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016Counterparty risk As part of Auswide Bank Ltd’s investment policy individual counterparties need to have the appropriate investment grading and are monitored in respect of their credit rating. Further, limits are placed on the amount of funds which may be placed with institutions with certain credit ratings. (e) Terms, conditions and accounting policies The economic entity’s accounting policies, including the terms and conditions of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument, both recognised and unrecognised at the balance date, are as follows: Recognised financial instruments FINANCIAL ASSETS Short term deposits Notes to accounts 6,7 Accrued receivables Bills of exchange and promissory notes Certificates of deposit Notes RMBS investments Mortgage Risk Management Pty Ltd investments Loans and advances 8 9 9 9 9 9 10 Accounting policies Terms and conditions Short term deposits are stated at amortised cost.

They have an effective interest rate of 3.71% (2015 – 3.13%) RMBS investments are recorded at fair value through the Available for Sale Reserve. Investments held by Mortgage Risk Management Pty Ltd are recorded at fair value through profit or loss. Loan interest is calculated on the closing daily outstanding balance and is charged in arrears to the customer’s account on a monthly basis. Loans and advances are recorded at amortised cost. New mortgage loans approved with an LVR in excess of 80% will be insured under an arrangement with QBE, and are secured by first mortgage over residential property. Personal loans are approved on both a secured and unsecured basis and are not insured. Loans made for the purchase of staff shares are secured by the shares themselves. Certain of the company’s loans have been securitised and continue to be managed by the company. Further details are disclosed in Note 10. The securitisation notes have a maturity period of greater than 30 years. The securitisation notes are eligible for repayment once the balance of the trust falls below 10% of the invested amount. Interest paid to the note holders is repriced on a monthly basis at a set margin above BBSW. Details of maturity of the deposits are set out in Note 16. Interest is calculated on the daily balance. Trade creditors are normally settled on 30 day terms. Details of the final dividend declared by the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 are disclosed in Note 5. These notes are issued for a period of 10 years non call 5 years, at which time they can be redeemed. Interest is repriced quarterly at a set margin above 90 day BBSW. AUSWIDE BANK / 77 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES 16 Deposits Payables and other liabilities 17 Dividends payable 5 Deposits are recorded at the principal amount.

These are designated as effective hedges and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 1(k) for further details. (g) Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow and lend funds at both fixed and variable interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and variable rate assets and liabilities and by the use of interest rate swap contracts.

All of YCU’s assets, liabilities and obligations, whether actual or contingent were transferred to Auswide Bank Ltd. In addition, all duties, obligations, immunities, rights and privileges which apply to YCU, had YCU continued in existence, apply to Auswide Bank Ltd as a continuation of, and the same legal entity as YCU. The acquisition is expected to provide geographic diversification of earnings, cost synergies and revenue opportunities. Consideration Transferred Cash Fully paid ordinary shares in Auswide Bank Ltd Total 2016 $ 16,584,949 14,233,485 30,818,434 The ordinary shares were issued in part satisfaction of the payment of the consideration under the Scheme of Arrangement between YCU and its members on the acquisition date of 19 May 2016. The fair value of ordinary shares issued was based on the share price of the Group at 19 May 2016, of $5.0001 per share. Acquisition related costs amounting to $2.499m have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the current year, within the ‘General and administration expenses’ line item.

In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, and future market developments. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Revenue for the year includes $799,021 in respect of YCU. Had this business combination been in effect at 1 July 2015, the revenue from the Group arising from continuing operations would have been $140.513m, and the profit for the year from continuing operations would have been $11.733m. The directors of the Group consider these ‘proforma’ numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined Group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods. 84 / ANNUAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued30 JUNE 2016NOTE 34 DISCONTINUED OPERATION MRM has been in wind–down since ceasing to write insurance business in 2012.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control, relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
