A strong bond with our parents
No business can exist without its customers, but for us, 

our customers are arguably more special than most. They 

are all mothers and fathers, generally starting out on the 

journey of parenthood – with no lessons and no manuals. 

We realise that we play a role in that journey of joy and 
discovery – and it’s one that has helped shape our brand.  

At Bellamy’s, it’s our firm belief that babies everywhere 

deserve to start life with three basic necessities: the love 

and respect of their parents, the safety and security of a 

loving home, and the goodness of wholesome food to eat. 

It is this understanding that drives our mission: to produce 

wholesome, organic food for babies and infants. We want 

parents everywhere to be able to give their children a “Pure 

Start to Life”. This one mission drives our entire supply 

chain; from the finest organic ingredients sourced, to the 

care taken in how our products are made at the highest 

possible standards. 

It is why we believe our parents have a strong bond and 

deeper association with Bellamy’s than with other brands. 

This has come through strongly from our information 

resource pages and social media engagement. Mothers 

and fathers look to us for information and reassurance, 

provided simply and concisely, to help them come to their

Bellamy’s social media engagement across key platforms 

in Australia continued to outperform all others in the 

category.  As at 30 June 2016, Bellamy’s was the No. 1 

baby food / infant formula brand by number of followers 

across multiple platforms including Facebook, Twitter and 

Instagram.

In China, we are quickly building a strong following 

through social media and our word-of-mouth marketing 

activities.  The core brand proposition resonates in the 

minds of parents in China as a brand offering safety and 

trust.  Combined with a strong agency presence and 

our own on ground team, our digital media programs 

will continue to build on the assets we have already 

developed there.

Increasing brand awareness is critical to attracting new 

mothers to the category.

Where we play
Overall, distribution has continued to grow in 

FY16, as reflected by the 95% growth in net 

revenue over the last 12 months. Australia 

continues to represent the majority of sales 

– 78% in FY16, although a proportion of that 
is sales through Australian retailers that make 

their way to consumers in China. 

Bellamy’s in Australia

In Australia, Bellamy’s products are distributed 

in more than 4,400 outlets across major 

retailers including Coles, Woolworths, Big W, 

Target, Costco, Chemist Warehouse, Terry 

White and Amcal.

We have also pushed deeper into independent 

supermarkets and pharmacies, which provide 

a strong growth channel. For example, 

Bellamy’s continues to be the market leader in 

Infant Foods in Pharmacy holding more than 
50% market share at June 2016 (source: Aztec).

Bellamy’s in China

Bellamy’s recognises the importance of having 

a multi-channel distribution strategy in China, 

and providing easy access to our products for 

parents regardless of their physical location. 

This ensures that as the China market evolves, 

we can remain agile and adapt to changing 

consumer purchasing trends and government 

regulations.

Review of Operations Continued

Over the past 12 months there has been a 

continuing shift toward online purchasing of 

imported infant formula products through third 

party websites such as t-mall.com, jd.com, 

and vip.com, with delivery to consumers via 

free trade zones in China and local Chinese 

providers. Our multi-channel distribution 
strategy and strong online presence has 

underpinned our growth in China and strongly 

positions us to continue growing in this market.

In the offline (bricks and mortar) channel, we 

continue to build a focused and sustainable 

market presence, particularly in key mother 

and baby chain stores. With more than 30 

distributors, Bellamy’s products are now 

stocked in over 2,000 stores across China, 

predominantly in mother and baby chain stores. 

In the online channel, we built on our flagship 

store’s strong position on Tmall as one of the 

top 10 baby formula stores, and launched 

platforms on JD, Kaola, NetEase and VIP.  

Reflecting our multi-channel distribution 

strategy, we also commenced trading directly

Our products
Bellamy’s produces more than 40 Australian-

made and organically certified products 

including infant formula, toddler milk, snacks, 

cereals, pastas and ready to eat pouches. 

Our product range is designed to offer 
various entry points to the brand for parents, 

whether their baby is breast-fed, formula-

fed or complementary-fed. This is a unique 

proposition as there are no other organic 

brands in Australia offering a comprehensive 

selection of foods, and it is carefully executed 

to enhance the brand relevance for our 

families.

The strong relationships we have in place with

The announcement of our agreement with

to ensure continued growth in our baby

Our people and  
office locations
By most business standards, the Bellamy’s 

team is lean and efficient. This is due in part 

to choosing experienced committed people 

– but for the most part it is choosing people 
who are a strong fit with our internal values 

and culture – and work towards a higher 

purpose to help change the world.

We believe it is our purpose that galvanises 

our people. By producing wholesome, 

organic food, our people genuinely believe 

that they are helping to shape the next 

generation’s mindful eating habits. And 

in their own small way, they are helping 

Bellamy’s create better, healthier lives. It is 

this belief that makes our people a mirror 

of our brand personality, since our internal 

values are also those of our brand.

But we also realise that their commitment to 

the business is only one part of the equation: 

we also have a commitment to our people. 

We aim to give them the opportunity, support 

and environment to do the best work of their 

careers.

Our focus on people repays the business

Costs of Doing Business 

Bellamy’s utilises third party warehousing 
providers and logistics providers for the safe 

supply and delivery of products.  One of the 

outcomes of the sales volume growth we 

have achieved are operational efficiencies that 

assist us in optimising returns.  

During FY16, new warehouses in Hong 

Kong and China were contracted to deliver 

services to the expanding sales network. The

Reflecting the company’s strong balance sheet

Board declared a fully franked interim dividend 

of 4.1 cents per share. A fully franked final

Bellamy’s remains focused on delivering

While the China regulatory environment has 

undergone substantial change over the past 

six months, we were aware well in advance of

Cash from operations and

Cash balances remained relatively stable over 

the period, increasing by $0.3 million, closing 

at $32.3 million.

During FY16, the company generated positive 

cash flows from operations of $8.9 million. 

The primary factor driving this has been strong 

sales, a strong debtors’ collection cycle and 

improved trading terms with suppliers. 

Inventory balances have increased significantly 

as a result of the addition of a second 

manufacturing partner (Fonterra) and the 

ingredients required to support this initiative, as 

well as levels of finished goods to support the 

current sales rate of the business. Ingredients 

on hand at 30 June 2016 comprised

BELLAMY’S AUSTRALIA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16

Remuneration Report

Message from the Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee

Dear Shareholders,

The Board of Bellamy’s Australia Ltd 

(“Bellamy’s” or the “Company”) is pleased to 

present Bellamy’s Remuneration Report for the 

2015/16 financial year (FY16).  

This year, Bellamy’s continues to deliver 

solid growth and financial returns for its 

shareholders, continuing the trend of the  

last 5 years and particularly since listing  

24 months ago. 

The Bellamy’s Board believes that critical to 

delivering its short term business objectives 

and long term strategic ambitions for 

continued growth and expansion is the 

remuneration strategy.  It should embrace the 

company’s high performance, ambitious and 

entrepreneurial culture to continue to deliver 

performance for our shareholders.  

The changes to remuneration introduced 

by the board in FY15 and adopted by 

shareholders at our last AGM have enabled 

the board to grow and serve our shareholders.  

In March 2016 Bellamy’s appointed two 

new Non-executive Directors, Patria Mann 

and Charles Sitch.  Both appointments 

strengthen the Board diversity and depth.  

The appointment of Patria Mann means that 

50% of Bellamy’s board are women, and as a 

leading company providing organic nutrition 

solutions to families, Bellamy’s actively 

promotes and advocates diversity in the 

workplace.

Bellamy’s Board saw the retirement of 

longstanding director, Ian Urquhart, on 30th 

June 2016 after having held a role as director 

since Bellamy’s inception in 2007.

A continued focus of the business is to build 

the leadership and executive team.  During 

FY16, Bellamy’s appointed Katherine Henry 

as Executive Director People & Culture and 

Andrew Cohen as Chief Operations & Strategy 

Officer. These appointments build the strength 

and diversity of Bellamy’s leadership as the 

business continues to grow.

In a rapidly expanding and growing business, 

it is necessary to regularly review policies 

and practices.  We, therefore, intend to 
undertake a review during FY17 to establish 

a remuneration strategy and framework that 

aligns with Bellamy’s business and growth 

strategy.  There will be a focus on the mix 

of fixed versus variable remuneration and 

measures and targets for both the short term 

and long-term incentive plans.  With strong 

share price growth, it is especially important 

that any reward for executives under the 

long-term incentive plan is clearly linked to 

business performance and our shareholders’ 

expectations.  

On behalf of the Committee, I recommend the 

Report to you. 

Launa Inman

Remuneration Report Continued

Details of senior executive remuneration for FY16 prepared in accordance with statutory obligations and accounting standards, are contained in 

section 8 of this Report. 

The remuneration calculations in the table in section 8 are based on the Accounting Standards principle of ‘accrual accounting’ and, consequently 

do not necessarily reflect the amount of compensation an executive actually realised in a particular year. 

To supplement the required disclosure we have included the additional table below which shows the actual compensation realised by the senior 

executives who were key management personnel at the end of FY16. The amounts disclosed below are considered more helpful for shareholders as 

it reflects the senior executives ‘actual pay’ in FY16.  It is important to note that the STI and LTI amounts are amounts earned based on performance 

during FY16 that vested and/or were paid in FY17.

2   Role of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee 

The role of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee is to assist the Board by ensuring 

that Bellamy’s: 

•  has coherent and appropriate remuneration policies and practices which enable Bellamy’s 

to attract and retain non-executive directors and executives who will create value for 

shareholders; 

•  fairly and responsibly remunerates non-executive directors and executives having regard to 

In selecting the remuneration consultant, 
the Remuneration & Nomination 

Committee considered potential conflicts 

of interest and required the consultant’s 

independence from management as 

part of their terms of engagement.  

Egan Associates were asked to provide 

a remuneration recommendation in 

relation to the KMPs remuneration.  The 

recommendations were provided to, 

and discussed with the Chair of the 

Remuneration & Nomination Committee.  

Egan Associates has confirmed in 

writing to the Chair of the Remuneration 

& Nomination Committee that their 

recommendations were made free from 

any undue influence by the Group’s KMP.  

Considering the above factors, the Board 

is therefore satisfied that remuneration

environment;

•  has polices to evaluate the performance and composition of the Board, individual directors 

and executives on an annual basis with a view to ensuring that Bellamy’s has a Board that 

can properly discharge its responsibilities and duties; 

•  has adequate succession plans in place (including for the recruitment or appointment of 

non-executive directors and executives); and 

•  has policies and procedures that are effective to attract, motivate and retain appropriately 

skilled employees that meet Bellamy’s needs and are consistent with Bellamy’s strategic 

goals and human resource objectives.

Further information about remuneration structures and the relationship between remuneration 

policy and Company performance is set out below.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee has a Charter which outlines the terms of

 Remuneration policy  

& strategic direction

Bellamy’s remuneration policy aims to 

attract and retain the best available people 

to run and manage Bellamy’s and align 

their interests with our shareholders.  

The Board is committed to having a 

remuneration policy that rewards, and 

retains executives, for achieving our 

business objectives and delivering 

shareholder returns.

In the case of executives, by providing a 

fixed remuneration component together 
with specific short-term and long-term 

incentives based on key performance 

areas affecting Bellamy’s financial results, 

Bellamy’s seeks to create alignment 

between the interests of executives and 

shareholders.

In the case of non-executive directors, 

their remuneration does not contain 

performance-based or ‘at risk’ 

components.  Non-executive directors 

are paid fees and are encouraged to hold 

shares in Bellamy’s.

As advised to shareholders in the 

FY15 remuneration report, the Board 

has committed to revisit incentive 

arrangements to ensure the right 

hurdles are in place as the company 

continues to grow. Accordingly, 

a further review of Bellamy’s 

remuneration framework will be 

undertaken in FY17.

4.1  Executive remuneration structure

Executives’ total remuneration package may be comprised of the following elements:

•  Total Fixed Remuneration (base salary + superannuation)

•  At-Risk Remuneration:

•  Short Term Incentive (“STI”)

•  Long Term Incentive (“LTI”)

Currently Bellamy’s uses base salary for the purposes of calculating STI and/or LTI amounts.  

In FY17 Bellamy’s will move to a fixed remuneration approach for the purposes of calculating 

STI and/or LTI amounts.

The relative weighting of fixed and variable components for target performance is set 

according to the scope of the executive’s role. 

The ‘at-risk’ component for the CEO and those executives reporting to her (including KMP 
executives) ranges from 20% to 110% of base salary, with an average of 60%.  For the KMP 

the ‘at risk’ components are as follows:

remains competitive and it is reviewed 

regularly by the Remuneration & 

Nomination Committee with reference 

to individual performance and relevant 

comparative remuneration in the market.

Executive remuneration levels are 

market-aligned by comparison to similar 
roles in ASX-listed companies that 

have comparable market capitalisation, 

revenues, and financial metrics relevant to 

the executive’s role, skills and experience.

As disclosed in the FY15 remuneration 

report, a review of the CEO’s and CFO’s 

fixed remuneration was undertaken 

during FY15 and the Board approved a 

remuneration increase for the CEO and 

CFO for FY16.  

Effective from 1 July 2015, Laura McBain’s 

fixed remuneration was increased to 

$600,000 (inclusive of superannuation), an 

88% increase, and Shona Ollington’s fixed 

remuneration was increased to $299,308 

(inclusive of superannuation), a 50.2% 

increase.

In approving this increase, the 

Remuneration & Nomination Committee 

and the Board sought independent advice 

and were satisfied that the increase was 

necessary to ensure that the Company’s 

remuneration levels are aligned with the 

market. 

Details of KMP executives’ total fixed 

remuneration for the year ended 30 June 

2016 (and 30 June 2015) can be found in 

the ‘Remuneration Tables’ section of this 

report.

Bellamy’s adopted the following STI structure for FY16.

What is the  

STI plan?

An annual incentive plan under which participants are eligible to 

receive an annual award if they satisfy challenging operational, 

strategic and individual performance targets. 

Formal KPIs are notified to participants at the beginning of each year.

Performance is measured against:

KPIs?

•  Financial Group performance;

•  Financial Business Unit performance 

• 

 Non-Financial KPIs relevant to the individual’s role and 

responsibilities. The STI plan applies beyond KMP.

Why were the  

KPIs chosen?

A combination of financial and non-financial KPIs have been chosen 

because the Board believes that there should be a balance between 

short term financial measures and more strategic non-financial 

measures to support further growth.

How are the 

Financial KPIs are assessed quantitatively against predetermined 

KPIs measured 

targets.

(and why was 

this method 

chosen)?

Performance against non-financial KPIs relevant to the individual’s 

role and responsibilities is assessed annually as part of the broader 

performance review process for executives. 

The Board believes the STI provides the right measures and 

appropriately challenging targets for participants.

As cash

The STI plan is designed to encourage and reward high performance.  

It puts a significant proportion of the executives’ remuneration at-risk 

against targets linked to the Company’s performance objectives 

and therefore supports the alignment between the interests of the 

executive, Bellamy’s and our shareholders.

4.4  Long term incentive arrangements and the employee share option plan

LTIs are delivered in the form of options under the employee share option plan (“ESOP”). 

The granting of options under the ESOP is considered an effective means of motivating, retaining and attracting high quality employees and 

aligning executives’ interests with those of shareholders. All options issued have an exercise price and only become valuable to the extent that 

the share price rises above the exercise price. 

Option grants will be subject to the ESOP rules and other regulatory requirements, including the ASX Listing Rules. It is envisaged that the ESOP 

will form an integral part the of Bellamy’s LTI arrangements. 

The terms and conditions that applied to the FY16 grant of options are set out below. 

What are options?  

An option to acquire a fully paid ordinary share in the Company (subject to payment of an exercise price), that 

will only vest and become exercisable if performance hurdles are satisfied. 

Do senior executives pay 

Options are granted as part of remuneration and therefore there is no payment provided in connection with a

grant. 

However, senior executives are required to pay an exercise price to exercise the options and receive shares, 

unless the company operates a cash equivalent amount in lieu.

What is the performance 

The FY16 grant was divided into two tranches. The performance period that applies to each tranche is set

As set out above, the first tranche of the grant is subject to an earnings per share (“EPS”) performance hurdle, 

and the second tranche is subject to a share price growth (“SPG”) performance hurdle.   

The EPS Hurdle is based on the absolute and compound annual growth in the Company’s earnings per 

share over the relevant performance period.  An EPS hurdle has been chosen as it provides evidence of the 

Company’s growth in earnings. It is a hurdle that directly correlates to improved shareholder value. 

The SPG Hurdle is based on the Company’s share price growth on a compound basis performance over the 

relevant performance period.  A SPG hurdle has been chosen as it is directly linked to the Company’s share 

price growth and therefore the increase in value created for shareholders.

Further details on the hurdles are set out below. 

The EPS performance hurdle is subject to the measurement of the Company’s average annual growth in EPS. 

It is intended that EPS for each relevant financial year will be calculated as net profit attributable to 

shareholders for that financial year, adjusted to exclude the costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), 
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus elements.

Threshold vesting of options commences at 12% compound annual growth over the applicable performance 

period.  Full vesting occurs for compound annual growth in EPS at levels consistent with outperformance.

The levels of EPS CAGR required to attract full vesting of the options under the Board approved long-term 

plan are commercially sensitive and, therefore, will not be disclosed at this time.  The applicable EPS CAGR 

targets will be, however, disclosed on a retrospective basis in the Remuneration Report following the end of 

the performance period to ensure transparency for shareholders.

The Board has determined that the opening share price to be used for the purpose of the SPG Hurdle is 

$6.27.  This has been set by reference to the average broker consensus share price target determined after 

the announcement of the Company’s full year financial results for FY15.

Process for assessing 

performance conditions

The EPS performance hurdle is assessed based on the Company’s audited financial statements.  This method 

of measurement was chosen as the use of financial statements ensures the integrity of the measure and 

alignment with the true financial performance of the Company.  

The Board has determined that the SPG performance hurdle will be assessed based on the growth in the 

Company’s share price from $6.27 over the relevant performance period.

The Board believes the LTI provides the right measures and appropriately challenging targets for participants.

No voting rights or entitlements to dividends are attached to the options.

$4.97

The Board determined the exercise price with consideration to the 10 day VWAP (5 days pre the release of 

the annual results on 21st August 2015 and 5 days post).

the date of cessation. 

If a participant ceases to be employed for any other reason, then a pro rata proportion of any unvested 

options held, calculated by reference to the proportion of the total performance period that has elapsed as at 

the date of cessation, will be tested based on performance against the relevant hurdles to that date. 

Any options that vest based on performance against the hurdles will vest immediately. All other options will 

lapse.

What happens on a 

change of control? 

In the event of a takeover bid or other transaction that in the Board’s opinion would result in a change of 

control, the Board has the discretion to determine that some or all of a participant’s unvested options will vest.

If a change of control event occurs before the Board has exercised its discretion, then a pro-rata proportion 

of unvested options equal to the portion of the total performance period that has elapsed will be tested based 

on performance against the hurdles to that date.

Any options that vest based on performance against the hurdles will vest immediately. All other options will 

lapse.

1.  As disclosed in the 2015 remuneration report the CEO was granted 953,333 options (no other KMP executives received a grant).  The Board has determined that 
100% of the options granted to the CEO would vest as a result of the achievement of an NPAT of $9.073m for FY15.  Accordingly, the options granted to the CEO 
became fully exercisable and the CEO exercised these options in full shortly after the release of the FY15 results and sold the shares.

2.  There were no shares held nominally by KMP as at 30 June 2016 and as at the date of this report.

3. These shares were acquired by A Cohen before he commenced employment with Bellamy’s on 27th June 2016.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2016

These are the consolidated financial statements of Bellamy’s Australia Limited and its subsidiaries. A list of all subsidiaries is included in Note 25.  

The financial statements are presented in the Australian currency.

The notes are set out in the following main sections:

How numbers are calculated: provides a breakdown of those individual line items in the financial statements that the directors consider most 
relevant in the context of the operations of the group, or where there have been significant changes that required specific explanations.

Risk: discusses the group’s exposure to various financial risks and what the group does to manage these risks.

Group structure: explains significant aspects of the group structure

Unrecognised items: provides information about items that are not recognised in the financial statements

Other information: includes information that is not directly related to specific line items in the financial statements, including: related party 
transactions and share-based payments. Other information also includes significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial 

statements.  

HOW NUMBERS ARE CALCULATED

1  Significant changes in the current reporting period

No significant matters or circumstances arose in the current year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the 

group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.

For a detailed discussion of the group’s performance and financial position, please refer to our operating and financial review on pages 9 to 27.

Changes in accounting policy since the most recent interim financial report

During the current year, the Group elected to early adopt AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’. AASB 9 contains guidance on hedge accounting that 

replaces the existing requirements of AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. AASB 9 introduces changes to hedge 

effectiveness and eligibility requirements to align more closely with an entity’s risk management framework. 

• 

 As a result of early adoption of AASB 9, there has been no material impact on amounts reported in these financial statements; however 

application of this standard has resulted in additional disclosures which are incorporated in Note 23. 

• 

 The changes were adopted retrospectively with no impact on retained earnings in the current or previous financial years or interim financial 

reports.

2  Segment information

a)  Description of segments

Operating segments are determined in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments. To identify the operating segments of the business 

management has considered the business from both a product and geographical perspective, as well as considering the way information is 

reported to management and the Board. 

Segment revenues are derived from the sale and distribution of organic branded formula and food products to babies and toddlers. 

Management has determined that there are three operating segments based on geographical location. The revenue for geographical segments 

is determined by the location of the retailer/customer in respect of direct sales.

i)  Australia – revenues derived from sales to retailers within Australia

ii)  China / Hong Kong – revenue derived from sales to Chinese distributors and online sales from third party websites to Chinese customers.

iii)  Other / South East Asia – sales to other distributors and retailers, predominantly in South East Asia.

Management primarily uses a measure of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to assess the performance of the operating segments. 

Total assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the 

operations of the segment and physical location of the asset

 The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of $38,328,000 (2015: $9,073,000) 

and the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 96,350,131 (2015: 92,534,639) 

(b)  Diluted earnings per share

 The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 96,656,397 and 
unexercised employee options of 3,035,662 (2015:3,355,746).

4  Dividends to Shareholders

On 19 August 2016, the Directors declared a fully franked dividend of 7.80 cents per share).  Dividends of 2.86 cents per share were paid during 

the previous financial year.

In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2016, an interim dividend of 4.10 cents per share (2015: Nil) franked to 100% at 30% corporate 

income tax rate was paid to the holders of fully paid ordinary shares on 26 February 2016.

As at 30 June 2016, the level of 30% franking credits available to shareholders on a tax paid basis were $14,095,000 (2015: $4,566,000). The 

franking credits available are based on the balance of the dividend franking account in the prior year tax return adjusted in relation to the current 

income tax liabilities for the year ended 30 June 2016. The ability to utilise franking credits is dependent upon the ability to declare dividends.

Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebates 

allowed.  Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the 

market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Timing of recognition

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of 

ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is reported under the heading of net finance costs and recognised using the effective interest rate method.

Grant income is recognised as income when the grant becomes receivable.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

a)  Accounting for trade receivables

 The average number of days outstanding for trade debtors is approximately 30 days. Interest is not charged on overdue balances. Less than 

1% of the balance is past 60 days overdue with all balances considered to be recoverable. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed 

on an ongoing basis and written off by reducing the carrying value when known to be uncollectable. The impairment amount is recognised 

within administrative costs.

b)  Credit risk 

 The company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which permits the use of the 

lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The loss allowance provision as at 30 June 2016 is determined as follows:

2016

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when 

the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and those benefits can be reliably measured.

Product development costs will be amortised over 3 years, or where the product line is discontinued, the balance is written off during that 

financial period.

BELLAMY’S AUSTRALIA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16

 
BELLAMY’S AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements Continued

For the year ended 30 June 2016

15  Borrowings continued

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. 

The group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period. 

Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets  is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The 
quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. 

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise 
the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an 

instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for 
unlisted equity securities. 

Valuation techniques used to determine fair values

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include: 

• the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments 

• the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date

 Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future 

taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to 

settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

On 3 September 2015, 1,633,962 options granted to executives and employees on 26 June 2014 were exercised and converted to ordinary 

shares of the Company. 293,333 options of this original grant were forfeited as a result of an eligible employee ceasing employment with the 

Company, and a further 272,705 options were foregone as result of cashless exercise. 

On 23 March 2016, as a result of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, 22,043 shares were issued at a price of $10.80.

The number of ordinary shares on issue is now 96,656,397 (2015: 95,000,392).

As at 30 June 2016, executives and employees held options over 2,629,252 (2015: 3,355,748) ordinary shares of the Company. 

The holders of these options do not have the right, by virtue of the option to participate in any share issue or interest issue of the company 

or of any other related body corporate. 

Until they are exercised, the options carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights.

c)  Dividends not recognised at the end of the reporting period 

 On 19 August 2016 the Directors declared a dividend of 7.80 (2015: 2.86) cents per fully paid ordinary share, fully franked based on tax paid 

at 30%. The aggregate amount of the proposed dividend expected to be paid on 26 September 2016 out of retained earnings at 30 June 

2016, but not recognised as a liability at year end is $7.54 million.

d)  Capital Management 

Management and the board of directors monitor the capital of the group in order to maintain a prudent debt to equity ratio, provide the 

shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the group can effectively fund the operations in line with business growth objectives.

The group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.  At balance date there 

were no externally imposed capital requirements.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow 

hedge reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the 

hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within Other income (expenses).

RISK

22  Critical estimates, judgements and errors

 There are no critical estimates or judgements other than the capitalisation of product development costs. The accounting for product 

development costs are outlined in Note 13. At 30 June 2016 there is $1,519,000 (2015: $104,000) of capitalised costs.

23  Financial risk management

a)  Financial risk management policies

 The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable and loans to subsidiaries. 

b)  Financial risk exposures 

The group is exposed to liquidity and credit risks with limited exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange and equity price risk.

Liquidity risk  
Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining sufficient cash and monitoring forecast cash flows.

At the end of the reporting period, the group did not have access to any undrawn borrowing facilities, however, is in the process of obtaining 

a financing facility in order fund future working capital, as required.

The group’s liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets 

necessary to meet these.

Credit risk arises from exposure to customers and deposits with financial institutions. Management monitors credit risk by actively assessing 

and rating quality and liquidity of counter parties, through a combination of obtaining external credit ratings, credit checks and past 

experience. Individual risk limits are set in accordance with the group’s Credit Policy. The compliance with credit limits by customers is 

regularly monitored by management.

For some trade receivables the group obtains security in the form of directors guarantees, or letters of credit which can be called upon if the 

counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement. 

Interest rate risk

Due to low debt to equity ratios the group has limited exposure to interest rate risk. As at 30 June 2016, the total borrowings were $131,000 

under fixed interest borrowing arrangements. 

Foreign exchange risk

The group has exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates through:

•  Sales to distributors and customers in foreign currency

•  Anticipated purchases of inventory 

•  Translations of net investments in foreign subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies

Bellamy’s Australia Ltd’s functional currency is Australian dollars. For the internal operations in the entities in Singapore, Hong Kong and 

China, all income and expenses are conducted in local currency. 

The group imports ingredients to meet demand, and has exposure to USD and EUR movements directly where it purchases ingredients on 

its own behalf and indirectly through purchases of finished products where the group’s product manufacturers purchase ingredients on its 

behalf. 

In order to hedge against the exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates associated with the highly probable purchase of ingredients, the 

group enters into forward exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges. 

Exposure of overseas debtors to foreign exchange risk is minimal as these transactions are primarily denominated in AUD.

At the reporting date, the net amount of unrealised losses under forward exchange contracts hedging anticipated purchases of inventory is 

$0.8 million. The hedge relationships are all assessed as highly effective with insignificant hedge ineffectiveness and the movement of $0.8

*   The foreign exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable future inventory purchases (EUR), therefore the hedge 

ratio is 1:1.

Foreign currency exposures arising on translation of net investments in foreign subsidiaries are predominantly unhedged. 

Equity price risk

The Group has equity price risk as a result of its listed equity investment holdings valued at fair value through profit and loss $283,000 (2015: 

$216,500). Fair value of listed equity investments is determined with reference to quoted ASX bid prices. A 10% movement in equity prices 

would impact the carrying value of the listed investments and profit before tax by $28,000 (2015: $22,000).

c)  Categories of financial instruments

 Other than equity investments classified at fair value through profit and loss classified under the heading of current financial assets, all the 

nature and categories of all other financial instruments are apparent from the face of the Statement of Financial Position.

d)  Carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities

 The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements are considered to 

approximate their fair values.

33  Deed of cross guarantee

 Bellamy’s Australia Limited and Bellamy’s Organic Pty Ltd executed a deed of cross guarantee on 16 February 2015 under which each 

company guarantees the debts of the other. By entering into the deed, the wholly owned subsidiaries have been relieved from the requirement 

to prepare a financial report and Directors’ report under Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) issued by the Australian Securities and Investments 

Commission. The above companies represent a “Closed Group” for the purposes of the Class Order, and as there are no other parties to the 

deed of cross guarantee that are controlled by Bellamy’s Australia Limited, they also represent the “extended closed Group”.

34  Summary of significant accounting policies

Reporting entity

Bellamy’s Australia is a listed public company incorporated in Australia. The address of the principal place of business and registered office are 

as follows:

115 Cimitiere Street 
Launceston  

Tasmania 7250

The entity’s principal activities are the sale and distribution of organic food and formula products for babies and toddlers.

The consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Bellamy’s Australia Limited and Controlled Entity (the “Consolidated Group” 

or “Group”). 

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Bellamy Australia Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted 
by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have 

been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting 

of Bellamy’s Australia Limited and its subsidiaries. 

Basis of preparation

These consolidated general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 

Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Bellamy’s Australia Limited is a for-profit 

entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 19 August 2016 by the directors of the company. 

The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollar.

The directors have elected under s.334(5) of the Corporations Act 2001 to apply Accounting Standard AASB 9  (December 2014) ‘Financial 
Instruments’ for this financial year, even though the Standard is not required to be applied until annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 

January 2018.

The Group has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2015.

AASB 15 replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including AASB 118 Revenue, AASB 111 Construction Contracts and Interpretation 

13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service 

transfers to a customer. The notion of control under AASB 15 replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards under current accounting 

standards. The standard is applicable from 1 January 2018 with early adoption permitted.

The consolidated entity is currently assessing the potential impact of the new standard upon the consolidated entity’s revenue recognition policy 

and at this stage is unable to estimate the financial impact on adopting the standard.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available for sale financial 

assets, financial assets and liabilities.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Bellamy’s Australia Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 

(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

BELLAMY’S AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements Continued

For the year ended 30 June 2016

34  Summary of significant accounting policies continued

a)  Principles of consolidation

i)  Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Bellamy’s Australia Limited (‘company’ 

or ‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2016 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Bellamy’s Australia Limited and its 

subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the group or the consolidated entity. 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the group has the power to govern the financial and operating 

policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting 

rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. 

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 on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised 

losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of 

subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

b)  Income tax

The income tax expense for the financial reporting period comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense 

(income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates 

enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date.  Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be 

paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the financial year as well 

unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates 

to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and 

their carrying amounts in the financial statements.  Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax 

deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business 

combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future 

taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets 

and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the 

reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or 

simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a 

legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority 

on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that the net settlement or simultaneous realisation and 

settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are 

expected to be recovered or settled. 

Bellamy’s and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. Bellamy’s, as the head entity 

in the tax consolidated group and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities continues to account for their own current and deferred tax 

amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a standalone taxpayer in its own 

right.  In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Bellamy’s also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred 

tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. Assets or 

liabilities arising under the tax funding agreement with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to 

other entities in the Group.

Notes to the Financial Statements

34  Summary of significant accounting policies continued

c)  Foreign currency translation

Items included in the Financial Information of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 

environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian 

dollars, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rates in effect at the dates of each transaction. Amounts payable to or by 

the Group in foreign currencies have been translated into Australian currency at the exchange rates ruling on balance date. Gains and losses 

arising from fluctuations in exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities are included in the income statement in the period in which the 

exchange rates change, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges.

d)  Employee expenses and entitlements

Provision is made for employee expenses arising to the end of the reporting period. Employee expenses that are expected to be settled 

within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee expenses payable later 

than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining 

the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy any vesting requirements. 

Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on Australian corporate bond rates with terms to maturity that match the expected 

timing of cash flows attributable to employee expenses.

Provision has been made in the accounts for benefits accruing to employees up to balance date, such as annual leave, long service 

leave and bonuses. No provision is made for non-vesting sick leave as the anticipated pattern of future sick leave taken indicates that 

accumulated non-vesting leave will never be paid. Annual leave provisions are measured at their nominal amounts using the remuneration 

rates expected to apply at the time of settlement and are classified in other payables. Long service leave provisions are measured as the 

present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. 

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at reporting date on Australian corporate bonds with terms to maturity that 

match estimated future cash outflows. 

All on-costs, including superannuation, payroll tax, workers’ compensation premiums and fringe benefits tax are included in the 

determination of provisions.

e)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original 

maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the 

statement of financial position.

f)  Borrowings

Loan facilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 

cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over 

the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. 

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the actual drawdown of the facility, are 

capitalised and amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the facility.

g) 

 Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any provision for doubtful debts. 

Trade receivables are generally due for settlement based upon trading terms negotiated with customers. Sales to export distributors are 

generally receivable before shipment or secured by letter of credit for longer periods. Sales to domestic customers are generally receivable 

approximately 45 days from invoice. 

For trade receivables, the company applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by AASB 9, which 

requires the use of the lifetime loss provision for all trade receivables. Any credit losses are written off to Administrative Costs in the profit and 

loss.

h) 

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for 

inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Notes to the Financial Statements Continued

For the year ended 30 June 2016

34  Summary of significant accounting policies continued

i) 

Impairment of assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently 

if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or 

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by 

which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs 

to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 

identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

j)  Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value, less where applicable, any accumulated depreciation or 

amortisation.  

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 

impairment

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the 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 which will be received from the 

assets’ employment and subsequent disposal.  The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining 

recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the 

consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. 

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

Class of Fixed Asset

Plant and equipment

• IT Hardware

• Motor Vehicles

• Furniture and fittings

Useful life

4 years

8 Years

10 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet 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.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.  These gains or losses are included in the 

profit and loss statement.  When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred 

to retained earnings.

k)  Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance 

leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the 

minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. Finance 

lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of lease liability over the term of the lease. The interest expense is 

determined by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease to the outstanding lease liability at the beginning of each lease payment period. 

Finance leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset’s estimated useful life and the lease term.

Where the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, leased assets are classified as operating leases and are not capitalised. 

Rental payments are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 30 June 2016

34  Summary of significant accounting policies continued

l)  Accounts payable

These amounts represent liabilities for goods provided prior to the end of the reporting period and which are unpaid. The amounts are 

unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

m)  Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that 

an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

n)  Financial Instruments

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.

Financial assets classified at fair value through profit and loss

From time to time the group may hold listed investments for the purposes of trading, such investments are classified at fair value though 

profit and loss. These investments are measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss. Fair value is 

determined with reference to ASX quoted bid prices.

o)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expense 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 an expense.  Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, 

which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

p)  Share based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity 

instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in 

note 21. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over 

the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At 

the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the 

revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a 

corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve.

q)  Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the new share issue are shown in equity as a deduction, net 

of tax, from the proceeds.

r)  Comparative figures

When required by the Accounting Standards, comparative figures are adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current 

financial year.  

In the event that the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its 

financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the 

minimum comparative financial statements is presented. 

Comparative information is reclassified where appropriate to enhance comparability and provide more appropriate information to users.

s)  Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

In the current year, the Group has applied an amendment to AASBs issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that is 

mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2015, and therefore relevant for the current year end.

AASB 2015-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting 

This amendment completes the withdrawal of references to AASB 1031 

Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 

in all Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, allowing that 

Materiality’

Standard to effectively be withdrawn.

The application of this amendment does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group’s 

consolidated financial statements.

t)  New Accounting Standards for application in future periods

The table below lists the standards and amendments to standards that were available for early adoption and were applicable to the Group. 

The reported results and financial position of the Group are not expected to change on adoption of any of the amendments to current 
standards listed below as they do not result in any significant changes to the Group’s existing accounting policies. 

The Group does not intend on adopting the following new standards or amendments before their mandatory effective dates.

Independent Auditor’s Report

For the year ended 30 June 2016

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Bellamy's 
Australia Limited

Report on the financial report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Bellamy's Australia Limited (the company), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in 
equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, a summary of 
significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration for Bellamy's 
Australia Limited (the consolidated entity). The consolidated entity comprises the company and the 
entities it controlled at year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

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 is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 34, the 
directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 
Statements, that the 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 consolidated 
entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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 entity’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. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our audit opinion.

Independence
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations 
Act 2001.
