Net proﬁt after tax for the year decreased by 1.9% to $48.8m. The Group’s full year revenue growth of 15.0% (excluding Keurig commission income) was driven by the strength of new product launches across all geographies. Following a very strong ﬁrst half increase of 23.2%, second half revenues were impacted by softer trading in North America which was more than offset by revenue in the Rest of World segment. The Board has increased the level of dividends in the ﬁnancial year demonstrating its continued conﬁdence in Breville’s growth potential and commitment to providing strong returns to shareholders. The Group has delivered constant strong shareholder returns since 2009, with earnings per share increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 32.8% and dividends per share increasing by 37.5% over the same period. As previously announced, Jack Lord stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Ofﬁcer (‘CEO’) effective 21 August 2014. A global search for a new CEO is well underway and Mervyn Cohen, our long standing Chief Financial Ofﬁcer, has been appointed Interim CEO. The Group’s focus on its “Food Thinking” strategy and commitment to investment in product development and marketing continues. With its strong balance sheet, the Group is well placed for future growth from both its existing business and future opportunities. During the year we welcomed Tim Antonie, who joined the Board on 19 December 2013 as a non-executive director. I, together with my Board and management colleagues, encourage all shareholders to attend the Annual General Meeting in November and join us in formally welcoming Tim. Finally, I would like to thank my Board colleagues, our dedicated management and staff, shareholders, customers and suppliers for their continued support.

The year’s trading performance reﬂected the resilient nature of the business which is well diversiﬁed by product, category and geography. The Group’s revenue and EBIT for the year was impacted by the loss of Keurig commission income, following the cessation of the majority of the Keurig distribution arrangement in Canada on 30 June 2013. Whilst full year revenue growth was higher by 11.3% to $541.6m, driven by Breville product revenue increases, EBIT decreased to $70.4m or by 1.6%. The ANZ business performed well, despite difﬁcult trading conditions gaining market share during the year. Revenue showed pleasing growth of 8.6% to $261.6m driven by new product launches, including the Breville co-branded Nespresso range launched in June 2013. Despite the higher revenues, a stronger USD placed increased pressure on the landed costs of products resulting in a 9.1% fall in EBIT to $24.9m. In the 2015 ﬁnancial year, the ANZ segment is expected to beneﬁt from selective price increases and a cost efﬁciency program to be implemented. In the North American segment, full year revenues from the sale of Breville products were 13.2% higher at $198.5m. Whilst the revenues from this segment were strong in the ﬁrst half (higher by 29.9%), the second half revenues ﬁnished 8.4% lower than the second half of the prior year. Second half revenues were adversely affected by strong purchasing by retailers late in the ﬁrst half, adverse weather conditions which affected many retailers and lower sales from the juicing category which had experienced substantial growth over the past two and a half years. The decrease in the high margin Keurig commission income caused EBIT in North America to decline. Pleasingly, North American sales in core categories in both halves, excluding juicing, continued to show good growth. The impact of new products launched in the second half of the 2014 ﬁnancial year, along with the pipeline of new products to be launched in FY15, should assist future North American revenues. Shortly after the end of the ﬁnancial year, the Group acquired the culinary division of the USA based business PolyScience. PolyScience is considered one of the market leaders in the sous-vide category in the commercial and professional markets, with a product range including sous-vide, vacuum sealers and other complementary products. As part of the Group’s strategy of expanding its geographic reach, during the prior year the Group established a new business in the United Kingdom. This business, which launched in May 2013, distributes Breville premium designed and developed products under a new company-owned brand, Sage™ , which is endorsed by internationally acclaimed chef Heston Blumenthal. In its ﬁrst full year of trading the business delivered a positive earnings result. The rest of world distribution business supplied from Hong Kong experienced a strong performance in the 2014 ﬁnancial year driven by growth from European strategic partners and from the Middle East and Asia. This business is expected to beneﬁt in the second quarter of the 2015 calendar year following an agreement entered into for the marketing and distribution of Breville designed premium products in Brazil on a co-branded basis by leading Latin American homewares brand, Tramontina. We continue to demonstrate that not only can we adapt to the environment, but lead the market with our “Food Thinking” strategy and aspire to bring the best new products and experiences to our customers. Food Thinking is about creating those simple moments of brilliance in the home and using innovation to make day to day food related processes that little bit better. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 3 CEO’s review continued We have also taken the initiative to invest in efﬁciency and cost improvement projects to better support our growing global business. The Group’s core strategy of delivering sustainable growth through product innovation, brand management and distribution capabilities and leveraging these across multiple geographies, includes a number of initiatives that will assist the Group to address challenges that are expected in the 2015 ﬁnancial year: (cid:154)(cid:1) Acquisition of the culinary division of PolyScience; (cid:154)(cid:1) Grow the Rest of World segment including the launch in Brazil; (cid:154)(cid:1) A strong pipeline of new products in FY15 and beyond; and (cid:154)(cid:1) Continue to collaborate with Group ambassador Heston Blumenthal. In addition, an organisation-wide cost efﬁciency strategic review has commenced. On a personal note, I would like to thank the Board and the entire Breville Group team for their ongoing support and assistance.

The Breville brand makes up the majority of the Group’s revenues and marketing activities, however, there are a number of other company owned brands and brand partners that are ﬁnancially and strategically important to the Group. Australia and New Zealand In Australia and New Zealand, the Group trades under its company owned brands, Breville, Kambrook and Ronson and also distributes a range of Philips products in the garment and personal care categories under a licence agreement. The Breville brand includes a range of Breville co- branded Nespresso coffee machines as one of Nespresso’s machine partners in Australia and New Zealand. In line with its global strategy, the Breville brand is focused on the premium kitchen segment of the market but still enjoys reasonably broad distribution in Australia and New Zealand. The Kambrook and Ronson brands extend to categories beyond the kitchen offering not just a full range of kitchen appliances, but also irons, vacuums, heating and cooling products, all at an affordable price without any compromise on quality or performance. North America In North America, the Group distributes the Breville range of internally designed and developed premium kitchen products through high end retail channels and its own online retailing platform. Shortly after the end of the 2014 ﬁnancial year, the Group acquired the USA based culinary division of PolyScience, one of the world’s market leaders in premier sous vide cooking products for the commercial sector. Europe In Europe and the United Kingdom, the Breville brand is not owned or operated by the Breville Group. Within Europe, the Group has a number of partners who market Breville’s premium designed and developed products under their own brands. In the United Kingdom, the group markets and distributes its premium designed and developed kitchen products under the new company owned brand Sage™ which is endorsed by Heston Blumenthal. The internationally acclaimed chef, Heston Blumenthal, in addition to endorsing the Sage™ brand is also Breville’s global brand ambassador. Rest of the World In the Asia Paciﬁc region and the Middle East, the Group markets several of its premium designed and developed kitchen products under the Breville brand as well as selected products under the Kambrook brand in parts of Asia and Africa. Distribution in these regions is managed using local third party distributors supplied via the Group’s Hong Kong ofﬁce. In the second quarter of the 2015 calendar year, a range of Breville premium designed products will be marketed and distributed in Brazil by leading Latin American homewares brand, Tramontina on a co-branded basis. Breville - Thought for Food™ On Melbourne Cup day 1932, two Australian entrepreneurs, Bill O’Brien and Harry Norville, combined their surnames to form the name ‘Breville’ and founded a company that manufactured radios in Sydney. During the 1960’s, Bill’s son John focused the organisation to solve common kitchen problems and established the Breville small appliance research and development centre, which led to the invention of the now iconic Breville toasted sandwich maker. The toasted sandwich maker kick-started a long list of innovative Breville products developed in Australia. From the original Kitchen Wizz™ food processor and High-Wall Wok to the launch of the world’s ﬁrst wide feed chute Juicer, Breville has become synonymous with innovation in the kitchen. In 2000, Breville embarked on a project to expand its design and innovation capabilities, building a much larger internal team that has today become one of Australia’s premier product development teams. This investment culminated in the 2003 launch of its premium range of products into the United States and other international markets. In 2009, Breville combined its design and development capabilities with a more focused marketing, recruitment and cultural initiative entitled “Food Thinking”. As a part of this strategy, a new global brand identity was developed and rolled out including packaging, point of sale and all other consumer marketing touch points. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 5 6 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Strategy and brands continued Breville - Thought for Food™ continued Breville’s strategy of “Food Thinking” and creativity continues to gain momentum. The strategy is based on: (cid:154)(cid:1) Deeper understanding of food and the challenges consumers face; (cid:154)(cid:1) Protectable innovation; (cid:154)(cid:1) Superior quality and design; and (cid:154)(cid:1) Increased marketing communication. Breville’s growing appreciation for food science and culinary trends has led to a fostering of relationships with several high proﬁle food thinkers including well known baristas and chefs, some of whom have helped the Group in a product development capacity. In his ambassadorial role, world renowned chef Heston Blumenthal works closely with Breville’s product development teams, providing invaluable insights into the food science necessary for the Group to continue developing “best in class” products. Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal® In May 2013, the Group launched a range of its premium designed and developed products into the United Kingdom under a new Group owned brand, Sage™, which is endorsed by Heston Blumenthal. The brand identity and positioning of Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal® is aligned closely to the global Breville brand identity and “Food Thinking” strategy. The Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal distribution strategy is also very similar to that of the company’s operations in North America, with distribution limited to premium retailers. The Group has committed to marketing activity for Sage™ by Heston Blumenthal® and plans to continue investing in marketing activity to solidify its presence in the premium channel in the United Kingdom. Kambrook - The Smarter Choice™ Kambrook has become known for quality, durable products at an affordable price. The ever-expanding product range includes appliances for the kitchen, living room, laundry and bedroom. Kambrook continues to highlight the durability of its appliances and the rigorous testing process that each new product undergoes. Products are subjected to extensive laboratory and quality testing before receiving the Kambrook seal of approval. The Group conducts product marketing to build the Kambrook brand, and has negotiated a celebrity endorsement for its personal blender with renowned athlete and television host, Hayley Lewis. The partnership has proven a resounding success, driving strong sales and raising the proﬁle of Kambrook. Philips Breville Group is the exclusive distributor for Philips’ personal care and garment care appliances in Australia and New Zealand. The relationship with Philips is now in its 14th year and both parties work collaboratively to grow sales and market share. Philips sets the benchmark for innovation and performance with its ﬂagship shaver range and it also offers a compelling range of high performance garment care products. PolyScience Breville Group acquired the PolyScience culinary division shortly after the end of the 2014 ﬁnancial year. PolyScience was founded in Illinois, USA in 1963, predominantly as a supplier of specialised medical and laboratory equipment that could uniquely control temperatures with great precision. Throughout the last decade, PolyScience expanded into culinary products, employing its temperature control technologies to launch the world’s premier immersion cooking circulators (for sous vide cooking) as well as various specialty cooking accessories such as the Smoking Gun (for rapid food smoking), vacuum sealers, cold plates, ultra- sonic and vacuum evaporation systems. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 7 Strategy and brands continued Innovation and product development The Group’s growth is based on investment in product development with a focus on design and innovation.

The team has received accolades both domestically and internationally, with multiple design awards, and recognition through mainstream media.

Breville Group invests in the training and education of its team, building strong, collaborative links with world experts in food thinking and technology. Breville was a major sponsor of the award winning Margaret River Gourmet Escape event in Western Australia for the second year running in November 2013.

To further develop its culture of food thinking, Breville also maintains a quarterly guest speaker program to provide all staff with insights from leading minds within the food industry. the Crispy Crust™ 12” stone baked pizza oven 8 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Corey Costelloe, the head chef of Neil Perry’s Rockpool Bar & Grill in Sydney, was the most recent speaker, making time to visit Breville’s global head ofﬁce in Sydney in June 2014. Toby Smith from Toby’s Estate, Dietician Susie Burrell, and Food Writer Grant Jones also helped share knowledge and provide food thinking inspiration at Breville’s head ofﬁce during the 2014 ﬁscal year. Each visiting speaker receives a tour of Breville headquarters, including a behind the scenes look at the extensive design facility. The speaker program builds valuable relationships between the brand and the wider food community, both in Australia and abroad. Strongly committed to its core values of creativity, simplicity, insight and excellence in all departments, Breville recruits, trains, assesses and rewards employees on this basis. With a team anchored by these common values, the business is able to foster a workplace that stimulates idea generation, a passion for learning, and the continuous search for new and better solutions. Breville advocates for diversity in its workforce, recognising the insight and creativity that it brings to the business. Ensuring a safe workplace is another business commitment, with employees participating in regular work health and safety audits. The organisation promotes and encourages a proactive safety culture.

It is determined to build a culture, through the commitment of its employees, to reduce the organisation’s impact on the environment and increase its contribution to society. Breville is a committed signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant in the reduction of the potential impact of its products, packaging and warehouse operations. It has also implemented improved waste reduction and recycling practices in its global test kitchen. We are proud to integrate actions and goals into existing business systems so that sustainable packaging considerations become ‘just how we do business’. Success is being achieved via cross functional teams working together to implement the Group’s Sustainable Packaging Policy. Breville purchases, when possible, products that contain recycled content to help sustain local markets for waste packaging and other materials diverted from landﬁll. Ethical sourcing Breville Group is committed to conducting business in a socially responsible manner and managing its business to reﬂect high ethical and moral values. We expect our vendors to respect and adhere to the same philosophy in the operation and management of their businesses and reserve the right not to do business with vendors that do not share and demonstrate our commitment to compliance with local and internationally accepted labour and employment laws. The Group has an ethical sourcing requirements code (‘code’) which sets out the minimum requirements and expectations that all vendors, including sub-contractors engaged by vendors, must comply with. The code speciﬁes compliance in areas such as wages and beneﬁt policies, child labour, working hours, discrimination, health and safety and environmental practices. The Group monitors the vendors’ compliance with the code, which may include a visit by the Group or its representatives to their factories. Breville Group in the community Breville Group continues to contribute to a variety of charitable activities as a sponsor, product partner and fundraiser. In the 2014 ﬁscal year, the charity committee donated both cash and products to various charitable organisations.

In Australia and New Zealand, the Group trades under its company owned brands, Breville, Kambrook and Ronson and also distributes a range of Philips products in the personal care and garment care categories under a license agreement with Philips. In North America, the Group distributes Breville branded products through premium channels. Up until 30 June 2013, the Group was also the primary distributor in Canada of a range of Keurig branded single serve coffee machines and portioned coffee capsules. During May 2013, the Group launched a business in the UK marketing and distributing Breville designed premium ﬂagship products under a new company owned brand, Sage. The Group’s Hong Kong ofﬁce performs the functions of a group procurement and quality assurance centre and also, a supplier of primarily Breville designed products to distributors globally. These distributors are located outside of the Group’s principal markets of Australia, New Zealand, North America and UK. The products sold to distributors located in Europe (excluding UK) are sold on a non-Breville branded basis. The products sold to distributors outside of Europe, including in the Asia Paciﬁc region, the Middle East and South America, are Breville branded products. Strategic initiatives The Group continues to pursue a number of strategic growth initiatives including establishing important alliances with key industry participants and internationally recognised “food thinkers”. The Group has: • Continued its investment in product development and marketing; Year to 30 June Revenue EBITDA EBIT Net proﬁt after taxation Earnings per share EPS (cents) Return on equity (%)1 Dividends per share (cents) Net cash ($m) 2014 $m 2013 $m % Change 541.6 486.5 11.3% 77.9 70.4 78.9 71.6 (1.2%) (1.6%) 48.8 49.7 (1.9%) 37.48 38.23 (1.9%) 22.9% 24.7% 27.0 47.0 26.0 43.4 3.8% Minor differences may arise due to rounding 1 ROE is calculated based on NPAT for the 12 months ended 30 June 2014 (2013: 12 months ended 30 June 2013) divided by shareholders’ equity at 30 June. Revenue of the consolidated entity for the year was $541.6m which was 11.3% higher than the consolidated revenue for the previous corresponding year of $486.5m. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) decreased 1.6% on the previous corresponding year to $70.4m. This decrease was driven primarily by the decrease in Keurig commission income, following the cessation of the majority of the Keurig distribution arrangement in Canada in June 2013. The Group’s proﬁt after income tax was $48.8m which approximated the earnings of the previous corresponding year of $49.7m. The basic earnings per share for the consolidated entity was 37.48 cents per share (2013: 38.23 cents per share). • Entered into the portioned coffee market in Australia and New Zealand in partnership with Nespresso; Segment results • Increased its marketing and product development resources to support growth in the Rest of World segment; • Launched into the UK; • Continued to collaborate with Heston Blumenthal as the Group’s global ambassador for global advertising and marketing communication; • Subsequent to 30 June 2014, acquired the culinary division of the USA-based business PolyScience, one of the market leaders in the sous-vide category in the commercial and professional markets. The product range includes sous-vide, vacuum sealers and other complementary products.

Revenues of $261.6m were 8.6% higher than the prior corresponding year. Despite increased revenues, a stronger USD over the period compared to the prior year especially in the second half placed increased pressure on the landed cost of products resulting in a fall in EBIT by 9.1% to $24.9m (2013: $27.3m). EBIT margin was also unfavourably impacted by a highly competitive marketplace. North America North American revenue for the year increased by 4.1% to $200.2m despite a decline in Keurig commission income of $15.4m to $1.7m (2013: $17.1m). Full year sales revenue from Breville products of $198.5m (2013: $175.3m) increased by 13.2%. Following a very strong ﬁrst half result which recorded a 29.9% increase in revenue from Breville products, second half North American revenues from Breville products ﬁnished 8.4% lower than the prior corresponding period. Second half revenue was adversely impacted by strong purchasing by major retailers late in the ﬁrst half in anticipation of strong retail sales in post-Christmas trading, followed by adverse weather conditions which impacted many retailers. In addition, the juicing category which had exhibited exponential growth over the past two and a half years, experienced increased competition and an overall decline as consumer demand shifted to blending in the second half. Full year EBIT decreased by 20.5% from $37.9m to $30.1m primarily due to the fall in the high margin Keurig commission income. Rest of World Total revenue from this segment, comprising the rest of the world distribution business supplied from Hong Kong (previously the International Distributors segment) and for the ﬁrst time, the new UK business, increased by 56.1% to $79.8m and EBIT increased by 28.8% to $20.2m (2013: $15.7m). The higher revenues were derived equally from the rest of world distribution business and the UK. The UK was recorded within the Group’s Other reporting segment in the prior year given that trading commenced in May 2013. Strong orders from European strategic partners and growth in the Middle East and Asian geographies contributed to the higher revenues from the rest of world distribution business. The UK business delivered a positive earnings’ result in its ﬁrst full year of operation. Other Represents the Group’s shared service facility, including the Group’s design and development and global marketing functions. This segment also incurs the amortisation charge on capitalised product development projects. The movement from prior year is primarily attributable to a net over recovery of intra-group charges and lower group employee short term incentive expense. The prior year comparative includes revenues and costs associated with the UK business. Advertising and marketing expenses Consistent with the Group’s intention of building awareness of its brands locally and internationally, the Group maintained its investment in growth driving marketing activities. The importance of online consumer research, reviews and communication continues to increase. The Group continues to invest in communicating its products’ features and beneﬁts through traditional and digital media, including emerging social media channels. In the online world of consumer reviews, consumer blogs and online sales, the quality and performance of Breville’s products together with credible endorsements, will be a key to the Group’s future success. Financial position The investment in working capital was marginally lower than the prior year. The level of inventory at year end increased by $10.5m compared to the prior year as a result of the fall in juicer sales in North America in the second half and associated time lag to reset the procurement supply chain as well as a wider range of new products. Trade and other receivables at year end were $12.3m lower driven by the softer total North American revenue in the second half of the year (including substantially decreased Keurig commission income). The Group’s net cash position at 30 June 2014 was $47.0m compared to $43.4m at the same time last year. Operating cash ﬂow for the year was $51.2m (2013: $37.0m). Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 15 Directors’ report continued Operating and ﬁnancial review continued Margin risk Capital expenditure The Group continues to invest in efﬁciency and cost improvement projects to support a larger and more geographically diverse business. In the second half of the 2014 ﬁnancial year, the Australian distribution business relocated and commenced operating from a new leased distribution centre in Minto, New South Wales. During the 2015 ﬁnancial year, the Group will relocate its Sydney-based Australian business and corporate head ofﬁce to new leased premises and will also during the ﬁrst half of the 2015 year commence the implementation of a new Group-wide enterprise resource planning system (ERP). Foreign exchange exposures The Group operates in a number of countries and is subject to a number of exchange rate inﬂuences on its earnings. Firstly, the Group has a transactional exposure as its product purchases are primarily paid for in US dollars. In Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK, the exchange rate impacts product costs as the US dollar changes relative to those currencies. A stronger US dollar will generally have a negative effect on the Group’s reported earnings in terms of this transactional exposure. The Group also has a translational exposure as its international earnings, a large portion of which are denominated in US dollars, are translated into Australian dollars for reporting purposes. A higher US dollar relative to the Australian dollar will generally have a positive effect on the Group’s reported earnings in terms of this translational exposure. The transactional and translational exposures are considered to result in a partial natural hedge from a Group perspective. A weak Australian dollar is likely to have an adverse impact on the Australian segment’s earnings (as a result of higher landed costs) but a positive impact on the translation of non-Australian dollar denominated results. Consumer demand risk Given the Group’s reliance on consumer discretionary spending, adverse changes to the general economic and retail landscape and consumer sentiment in the principal markets in which the Group operates, can impact its ﬁnancial results. The Group mitigates this risk by continued communication with its consumers to gain greater insight into the changing world of food and beverage trends and by keeping abreast with global economic and consumer data and industry trends. The highly competitive nature of the small domestic appliance market together with changes in manufacturing costs, including commodity prices, could have an impact on the Group’s ﬁnancial results. This risk is mitigated by protecting the Group’s intellectual property, brand building initiatives, introducing elements of variability into its cost structure and strengthening its long term supplier relationships. Group strategies and prospects The ongoing investment in innovation and an increasing portfolio of some of the world’s best kitchen products, provides a strong platform to expand the Group’s geographic reach and continue to grow global volumes. Although the economic environment remains uncertain, our product development and brand management strengths and a strong balance sheet, mean that the Group is well positioned for the future and the growth opportunities that lie ahead.

Compensation philosophy The performance of the company depends, in part, upon the quality of its directors and executives. The company must attract, retain, motivate and develop highly skilled directors and executives in order to secure the short and long term success of the business so to enhance shareholder value. Based on this philosophy, the company’s compensation strategy and framework embodies two interrelated outcomes: improved business results and building a culture of high performance. The following principles deﬁne the compensation framework: • Provide competitive rewards (for ﬁxed and variable compensation) to attract high calibre employees; • Link reward to sustained growth in shareholder value from dividends and growth in share price and the delivery of a consistent return on assets; • Link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of the company; and • Reinforce a competitive business strategy to deliver organisational success and enhanced shareholder value. People and performance committee The people and performance committee of the board of directors of the company is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the board executive and employee remuneration arrangements and executive succession as set out in the people and performance committee charter. The people and performance committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of compensation of executives and employees on an annual basis by reference to relevant individual and company performance and market conditions. The people and performance committee is responsible for the engagement of any external compensation consultants for work on executive remuneration. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 17 Directors’ report continued Remuneration report (audited) continued Structure In determining the level and make-up of executive compensation, the people and performance committee may engage an external consultant as appropriate, to provide independent advice detailing market related levels of compensation. No such external consultants were engaged for the year ended 30 June 2014. The group chief executive ofﬁcer makes recommendations to the people and performance committee for consideration. Employment contracts are entered into with executives. Details of the contracts are provided on page 22. Compensation consists of the following key elements: • Fixed compensation • Variable compensation • Short term incentive (STI); and • Long term incentive (LTI) The proportion of the ﬁxed compensation and variable compensation (potential short term and long term incentives) is established for each executive by the people and performance committee and approved by the board. Table 3 on page 25 of this report details the components (%) of the compensation of key management personnel of the Group. Fixed compensation Objective Fixed compensation is set to provide a base level of compensation which is appropriate to the position and responsibility and is competitive in the market. Fixed compensation is reviewed annually by the people and performance committee. The process consists of reviewing company and individual performance, relevant comparative market compensation, internal relativities and, where appropriate, external advice on policies and practices. Structure Executives are given the opportunity to receive their ﬁxed compensation in a variety of forms including cash and non-cash beneﬁts. Compensation structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and executive compensation is separate and distinct. Non-executive director compensation Objective The board seeks to set compensation at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain directors of high calibre whilst maintaining a level commensurate with companies of a similar size and type. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate compensation of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by general meeting. The aggregate compensation of $950,000 per year was approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held in November 2010. The compensation of non-executive directors is reviewed annually. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the company. An additional fee is also paid to each director who also acts as chairman of a board committee. The payment of additional fees for acting as chairman of a committee recognises the additional time commitment required by the director to facilitate the running of the committee. The compensation of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2014 is detailed in Table 1 on page 23 of this report. Executive compensation Objective The company aims to remunerate and reward executives with a level and mix of compensation commensurate with their positions and responsibilities within the company and to: • Reward executives for company and individual performance against speciﬁc targets set with reference to business objectives and results; • Align the interest, focus and performance of the executives with those of the shareholders; • Attract, retain and motivate high performing executives; and • Ensure total compensation is competitive by market standards. 18 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Remuneration report (audited) continued Variable compensation – short term incentive (STI) Objective The objective of the STI plan is to reward executives and other employees on the achievement of company and individual value adding performance objectives established annually, providing them with the opportunity to earn over and above their ﬁxed compensation should the agreed objectives be achieved. Depending upon their position and seniority in the organisation, executives and other employees are eligible for a STI award of between 20% - 50% of their ﬁxed or base annual remuneration. The incentive payment is based on the achievement of ﬁnancial and non-ﬁnancial objectives, with the former dependant upon a multiplier in accordance with a sliding scale. Objectives for each participant are determined on an individual basis aligned to enhance shareholder value. The principle objectives of the plan are: • To ensure that the company delivers its primary ﬁnancial results and achieves its targets every year to deliver sustainable performance and continued organisational growth; • To achieve business goals through rewarding value adding individual performance; • To contribute to the development of a performance culture across the company; and • To promote and facilitate the concept of shared ownership whereby executives and employees who contribute to the success of the company will also share in that success. The total potential STI available is set at a level to provide an incentive to the executives and employees to achieve and exceed personal, ﬁnancial and operational targets. Structure Actual STI payments are determined on the basis of the achievement of speciﬁc targets and objectives set at the commencement of the year. Financial performance targets include net proﬁt before tax. Individual objectives are aligned to the non-ﬁnancial components of the Group strategy. The company has predetermined ﬁnancial performance benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI plan and these are varied on a yearly basis in line with the annual budgeting process. On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against the established targets/objectives, incorporating both company ﬁnancial targets and individual objectives, the group chief executive ofﬁcer recommends to the people and performance committee an amount, if any, of the STI payment each executive (excluding the group chief executive ofﬁcer) is eligible to receive. This recommendation, together with a recommendation by the people and performance committee of an amount if any, of the STI payment the group chief executive ofﬁcer is eligible to receive, is then put to the board for approval. The group chief executive ofﬁcer may also award discretionary bonuses to recognise and reward key contributions from high performing employees. All discretionary bonuses are presented as recommendations to the people and performance committee and the board for approval. The aggregate of the annual STI payments available for executives across the company is subject to the approval of the people and performance committee and the board and payments are typically paid in cash. The minimum amount of the STI payments assuming that no executives meet their respective targets/objectives (including company ﬁnancial targets and individual objectives) for the 2014 ﬁnancial year is nil (2013: nil). Variable compensation – long term incentive (LTI) Objective The objective of the LTI plan is to reward executives and other employees in a manner that aligns this element of compensation with the creation of shareholder value. The LTI plan is only made available to executives and other employees who are able to inﬂuence the generation of shareholder value and have a direct impact on the company’s performance against relevant long term performance hurdles. Depending upon their position and seniority in the organisation, executives and other employees are eligible for a LTI award of between 20% - 50% of their ﬁxed annual compensation. Structure – performance rights plan LTI grants to executives and other employees (collectively “participants”) are provided in the form of performance rights awards issued in accordance with the Breville Group Limited Performance Rights Plan (PRP). LTI grants to participants (excluding the group chief executive ofﬁcer) are recommended by the group chief executive ofﬁcer to the people and performance committee. This recommendation, together with a recommendation by the people and performance committee of a LTI grant to the group chief executive ofﬁcer, is then put to the board for approval. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 19 Directors’ report continued Remuneration report (audited) continued Variable compensation – long term incentive (LTI) continued Structure – performance rights plan continued An offer under the PRP grants a participant the right to a certain number of fully paid ordinary shares in the company. Upon satisfaction of the performance hurdles, the right will vest and be convertible into shares. The company uses time-based and ﬁnancial-based hurdles. Earnings per share (EPS) is the ﬁnancial-based performance hurdle for the LTI plan. EPS represents the earnings per share from operations adjusted for non- trading items. The use of EPS ensures an alignment between shareholder return and reward for participants. In addition to the grant of performance rights awards which are subject to an EPS performance hurdle, performance rights awards may also be granted in accordance with the PRP as a retention award where the performance condition is continued employment with the company to vesting date. If the performance hurdle is not met or if the participant ceases to be employed by the company, any unvested performance rights will lapse unless otherwise determined by the board. There are no cash alternatives. The performance rights cannot be transferred and are not quoted on the ASX. Holders of performance rights are not entitled to notice of, or attend, a meeting of shareholders of the company, or receive any dividends declared by the company, until the rights have vested and then converted into shares. Once allocated, disposal of shares is subject to restrictions whereby board approval is required to sell the shares granted within three years of the shares being allocated to the participant or; if the participant ceases to be employed by the company, within twelve months of the date employment ceases; or such other date as the board determines. In the event of a takeover bid where the bidder and its associates become entitled to at least 50% of the voting shares of the company, any performance rights granted will vest where the board, in its absolute discretion, is satisﬁed that pro rata performance is in line with any performance condition applicable to those performance rights. Any performance rights which do not vest will immediately lapse, unless otherwise determined by the board. Other The number of ordinary shares in the company which could be acquired by executives and other employees holding performance rights if all outstanding performance rights were vested shall not exceed 5% of the total number of issued shares of the company. 20 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Remuneration report (audited) continued Variable compensation – long term incentive (LTI) continued Relationship of rewards to performance The table below shows the details of LTI plans for which compensation has been included in the remuneration tables on pages 23 and 24 of this report.

Steven Fisher Non-executive chairman Sydney 20 August 2014 30 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Corporate governance statement The board of directors is responsible for the corporate governance practices of the company and is committed to adhering to the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) Corporate Governance Council (‘council’) ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations’. The ASX principles that have been adopted are outlined below. The company’s corporate governance practices throughout the year ended 30 June 2014 were compliant with the council’s principles and recommendations, except for those differences disclosed and explained in this statement. The following documents are available on the investor relations, corporate governance section of the company’s website brevillegroup.com • selection and appointment of directors • criteria for assessing independence • code of conduct • continuous disclosure policy • share trading policy • shareholder communications policy • board charter • audit and risk committee charter • people and performance committee charter • diversity policy The term of the current directors as at the date of this annual report are as follows: Director Appointed Term in ofﬁce Non-executive Independent Last elected Steven Fisher (chairman) Tim Antonie1 Sally Herman Dean Howell1 Steven Klein1 Lawrence Myers Samuel Weiss1 2004 2013 2013 2008 2003 2013 2008 10 years 0 years 1 years 6 years 11 years 0 years 6 years Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No Yes No Yes Yes 2013 - 2013 2011 2011 2013 2011 1. In accordance with the requirements of the company’s constitution, Mr Antonie (appointed effective 19 December 2013) will seek election and Mr Howell, Mr Klein and Mr Weiss will seek re-election at the company’s AGM later this year. Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Role of the board and management The board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the company on behalf of the shareholders, by whom it is elected and to whom it is accountable. The board has adopted formal guidelines for board operation and membership. These guidelines outline the roles and responsibilities of the board and its members and establish the relationship between the board and management. The board is responsible for approving the strategic direction of the company, establishing goals for management, monitoring the achievement of those goals and establishing a sound system of risk oversight and management. The board will regularly review its performance and the performance of its committees. Appointment of board members A detailed process is undertaken for the appointment of new board members, including appropriate checks as to background, history and any potential conﬂicts of interest. Diversity policy The company is an equal opportunity employer and values differences such as gender, age, culture, disability, ethnicity and lifestyle choices. The company’s diversity policy aims to ensure a corporate culture that supports workplace diversity whilst providing access to equal opportunities at work based on merit. This policy is available on the company’s website at the investor relations, corporate governance section and is subject to periodic review by, and may be changed by resolution of the board. The policy has no contractual effect. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 31 Corporate governance statement continued Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight continued To assist the board in fulﬁlling its responsibilities in relation to diversity, the implementation of these objectives is overseen by the people and performance committee. Diversity policy objectives The objectives set by the board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them are: • Representation of women trained in recruitment and selection panels: Progress was made in Australia during the year with further women being trained; • Issuing the company equal opportunity statement to recruiting agencies: This continued in Australia during the year; • Explicit requirement of recruiting agencies to provide a gender balance of suitable, qualiﬁed, shortlisted candidates for interview: This initiative achieved further progress during the year; • Promoting a safe workplace free from harassment or discrimination of any kind: Training and education programs which included topics on harassment, bullying, victimisation and discrimination were conducted in Australia and the United Kingdom during the year; • Enhancing the gender balance of women in career development for those in senior and managerial roles; and • Continue ﬂexible working arrangements where operationally appropriate. The proportion of women employees in the company and the current targets are as follows: The people and performance committee shall: • • report to the board at least annually, on the company’s progress in achieving the objectives set for achieving gender diversity; regularly oversee a review of the relative proportion of women across the company and their relative positions; and • consider other initiatives to promote diversity in the workplace. Workplace equality In accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (Act), Breville Pty Limited lodged its annual compliance report with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency. This report is available on the company’s website. Evaluating the performance of the board There is no formal review process of the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. Currently, the chairman informally assesses the performance of committees and individual directors and their contribution to board affairs. Evaluating the performance of key executives The performance of key executives is reviewed against speciﬁc and measurable qualitative and quantitative performance criteria and includes: Women on the board Women in senior executive roles Women in senior roles Women in company 30 June 2013 30 June 2014 Target by June 2015 • ﬁnancial measures of the company’s performance; • development and achievement of strategic objectives; 17% 14% 25% 17% 17% 20% • development of management and staff; • compliance with legislative and company policy requirements; and • achievement of key performance indicators. Performance evaluation 25% 26% 30% All key executives were subject to a performance review as described above during the reporting period. 50% 55% 50% Senior executives are direct reports to the CEO or a business unit manager. Senior roles include senior executives and direct reports to senior executives or other employees with a strategically important role. 32 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Principle 2: Structure the board to add value Board composition The company’s constitution states that there must be a minimum of three directors and contains detailed provisions concerning the tenure of directors. The board currently comprises seven non-executive directors. The directors’ report, on pages 12 and 13, outlines the relevant skills, experience and expertise held by each director in ofﬁce at the date of this report. In accordance with good corporate governance, where the chairman of the board is not an independent director, the board considers it to be useful and appropriate to designate an independent director to serve in a lead capacity to co-ordinate the activities of the other independent directors, including acting as principal liaison between the independent directors and the chairman and representing the board as the lead independent director when the chairman is unable to do so because of his non independent status. Effective 20 August 2014, Mr Myers was appointed the company’s lead independent director. Director independence In considering whether a director is independent, the board refers to the company’s “Criteria for assessing independence of directors” which is consistent with the council’s recommendations. Independent directors of the company are those that are not involved in the day-to-day management of the company and are free from any real or reasonably perceived business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. In accordance with the deﬁnition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds outlined in the company’s policy ‘Criteria for assessing independence of directors’, it is the board’s view that Mr Dean Howell, Mr Lawrence Myers and Mr Samuel Weiss are independent directors. The following directors are not independent directors: • Mr Steven Fisher (non-executive chairman) is employed by an entity associated with a substantial shareholder of the company; • Mr Tim Antonie (non-executive director) is a non- executive director of Premier Investments Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the company; and • Ms Sally Herman (non-executive director) is a non- executive director of Premier Investments Ltd, a substantial shareholder of the company; and • Mr Steven Klein (non-executive director) is a principal of SBA Law which is a professional adviser to the company. Regardless of whether directors are deﬁned as independent, all directors are expected to bring independent views and judgement to board deliberations. Material personal interest requirement The Corporations Act provides that unless agreed by the board, where any director has a material personal interest in a matter, the director will not be permitted to be present during discussions, or to vote on the matter. Access to independent advice There are procedures in place to enable directors, in connection with their duties and responsibilities as directors, to seek independent professional advice at the expense of the company. Prior written approval of the chairman is required, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Board committees The board has established the audit and risk committee and people and performance committee to assist in the execution of its duties and to allow detailed consideration of complex issues. The composition of these committees is shown on page 29. Nomination committee During the year ended 30 June 2014, the company did not have a separately established nomination committee. All duties and responsibilities typically delegated to such a committee are the responsibility of the full board. Although the council’s recommendation 2.4 recommends that a nomination committee can be a more efﬁcient mechanism for the detailed examination of selection and appointment practices, particularly in larger companies, the board does not believe at this time that any marked efﬁciencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of a separate nomination committee. Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making Code of conduct The board has formally adopted a code of conduct (“code”) for all employees (including directors). The code aims at maintaining the highest ethical standards, corporate behaviour and accountability across the Group. These obligations are also consistent with the duties imposed on directors by the Corporations Act. In addition, directors are obliged to be independent in judgement and to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to be satisﬁed as to the soundness of board decisions. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 33 Corporate governance statement continued In accordance with the council’s recommendation 4.2, the A&RC is structured so that it: • comprises only non-executive directors; • comprises only independent directors; • is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board; and • has at least three members. In accordance with the council’s recommendation 4.2 the group chief executive ofﬁcer and group chief ﬁnancial ofﬁcer provided the board with a written declaration conﬁrming that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system operated effectively in all material respects. Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure The company’s continuous disclosure policy complies with the council’s recommendation 5.1. This policy is available on the company’s website at the investor relations, corporate governance section. Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders Communication policy The company is committed to providing all shareholders with comprehensive, timely and equal access to information about its activities to enable them to make informed investment decisions. The company’s shareholder communication policy is available on the company’s website at the investor relations, corporate governance section. Electronic communication The company’s website displays recent ASX announcements and contains information about the company. Brieﬁngs The company keeps a record of brieﬁngs held with investors and analysts, including a record of those present and the time and place of the meeting. Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in ﬁnancial reporting Audit and risk committee The board has an audit and risk committee (A&RC), which operates under a charter approved by the board. It is the board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the consolidated entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efﬁciency of signiﬁcant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of ﬁnancial information. The board has delegated the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards of the company to the A&RC. Among its responsibilities, the A&RC: • ensures that company accounting policies and practices are in accordance with current and emerging accounting standards; • • reviews all accounts of the Group to be publicly released; recommends to the board the appointment and remuneration of the external auditors; • reviews the scope of external audits; • assesses the performance and independence of the external auditors, including procedures governing partner rotation; • reviews corporate governance practices; and • monitors and assesses the systems for internal compliance and control, legal compliance and risk management. Composition of committee The members of the A&RC as at the date of this report are: • Mr Lawrence Myers (chairman) • Mr Dean Howell • Mr Samuel Weiss Effective 20 August 2014, Mr Steven Fisher and Mr Steven Klein resigned from the A&RC. The directors’ report, on page 29, outlines the number of A&RC meetings held during the year and the names of the attendees at those meetings. It also outlines the qualiﬁcations of A&RC members on pages 12 and 13. The group chief executive ofﬁcer; company secretary; group chief ﬁnancial ofﬁcer; the external auditors and any other persons considered appropriate may attend meetings of the A&RC by invitation. The committee also meets from time to time with the external auditors independent of management. 34 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk The company is committed to the identiﬁcation, monitoring and management of risks associated with its business activities including ﬁnancial, operational, compliance, ethical conduct, brand and product quality risks. The company has embedded in its management and reporting systems a number of risk management controls. These include: • guidelines and limits for approval of capital expenditure; • policies and procedures for the management of ﬁnancial risk and treasury operations including exposures to foreign currencies and movements in interest rates; • annual budgeting and monthly reporting systems for all businesses which enable the monitoring of progress against performance targets and the evaluation of trends; • policies and procedures which enable management of the company’s material business risks; • formal strategic planning sessions; and • presentation of periodic reports to the board and the A&RC identifying items that represent a potential risk and the manner in which these are being managed and responded to. Breville does not have an internal audit function and management is ultimately responsible to the board for the system of internal control and risk management and has reported to the board as to the effectiveness of the company’s management of its material business risks. The A&RC assists the board in monitoring this function. During the year ended 30 June 2014, the company did not have a separately established risk committee. All duties and responsibilities typically delegated to such a committee are the responsibility of the full board, with assistance from the A&RC. Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly People and performance committee The board has a people and performance committee, comprising the following directors as at the date of this report: • Mr Samuel Weiss (chairman) • Mr Steven Fisher • Ms Sally Herman • Mr Dean Howell • Mr Lawrence Myers In accordance with the council’s recommendation 8.1, the people and performance committee comprises: • an independent chairman; and • at least three members. The majority of the people and performance committee is considered to be independent as at the date of this report, although of the ﬁve committee members, Mr Steven Fisher and Ms Sally Herman are considered not to be independent for the reasons noted above. For details on the number of meetings of the people and performance committee held during the year and the attendees at those meetings, refer to the directors’ report on page 29. Remuneration disclosure For details of the company’s remuneration philosophy and framework, and the remuneration received by directors and executives in the current period, please refer to the remuneration report contained in the directors’ report on pages 17 to 28.

Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies Breville Group Limited is a for proﬁt company limited by shares incorporated in Australia. Breville Group Limited shares are quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange. This ﬁnancial report covers the consolidated entity comprising Breville Group Limited and its subsidiaries (company or group). A description of the group’s operations and of its principal activities is included in the operating and ﬁnancial review in the directors’ report on pages 13 to 16. The directors’ report is unaudited (except for the remuneration report) and does not form part of the ﬁnancial report. (a) Basis of preparation The ﬁnancial report is a general-purpose ﬁnancial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards. The ﬁnancial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative ﬁnancial instruments which have been measured at fair value. The ﬁnancial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000) unless otherwise stated under the option available to the company under ASIC class order 98/100. The company is an entity to which the class order applies. (b) Statement of compliance The ﬁnancial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. (c) Basis of consolidation The consolidated ﬁnancial statements comprise the ﬁnancial statements of Breville Group Limited and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the group controls another entity. The ﬁnancial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period, using consistent accounting policies. In preparing the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions, income and expenses and proﬁt and loss resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the group. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the business combination to the fair value of assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. (d) Signiﬁcant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a signiﬁcant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: Impairment of goodwill & intangibles with indeﬁnite useful lives The group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indeﬁnite useful lives are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill and intangibles with indeﬁnite useful lives are allocated. The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill and intangibles with indeﬁnite useful lives are discussed in note 14. Share-based payment transactions The group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using either the Black-Scholes or binomial option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 27. Taxes Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective countries in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 41 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (d) Signiﬁcant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions continued Taxes continued on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective group company’s domicile. As the group assesses the probability for litigation and subsequent cash outﬂow with respect to taxes as remote, no contingent liability has been recognised. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable proﬁt will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Signiﬁcant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable proﬁts together with future tax planning strategies. Warranty and faulty goods Provision for warranty and faulty goods is recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the group’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the group’s liability. Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the group’s productivity and quality initiatives, as well as parts and labour costs. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 17. Provision for make-good The provision for make-good represents the value of expected future payments to be made in respect of restoration of leased premises under contracts that have clauses potentially requiring these premises to be restored to their original condition at the conclusion of the lease. The estimate may vary as a result of negotiations between the parties at the end of the lease term. The related carrying amounts are disclosed in note 17. (e) Business combinations All identiﬁable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of the business combination over the net fair value of the group’s share of the identiﬁable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any transaction costs incurred in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. (f) Operating segments An operating segment is a component of the group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including certain inter- group revenues and expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which discrete ﬁnancial information is available. Operating segments have been identiﬁed based on the information provided to the chief operating decision makers being the group chief executive ofﬁcer and board of directors. Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as prescribed by AASB 8 Operating Segments are reported separately. However, an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative criteria is still reported separately where information about the segment would be useful to the users of the ﬁnancial report. (g) Foreign currency translation (i) Functional and presentation currency Both the functional and presentation currency of Breville Group Limited and its Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars (AUD or A$). Each entity in the group determines its own functional currency and items included in the ﬁnancial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. (ii) Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. The functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries is either: • USD - United States dollars (Breville Holdings USA, Inc. and Breville USA, Inc.); • HKD - Hong Kong dollars (HWI International Limited); • CAD - Canadian dollars (HWI Canada, Inc., Holding HWI Canada, Inc. and Breville Canada, L.P.); • NZD - New Zealand dollars (Breville New Zealand Limited); • GBP – British pounds (BRG Appliances Limited); and • RMB – Chinese Renminbi (Breville Services (Shenzhen) Company Limited). As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into the presentation currency of Breville Group Limited. They are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the income statements are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. 42 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (g) Foreign currency translation continued (ii) Transactions and balances continued Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The exchange differences arising on the retranslation of the ﬁnancial statements of foreign subsidiaries are taken directly to a separate component of equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the income statement. (iii) Disposal of foreign operations In some instances companies in the Breville Group provide intra group funding to other group entities by way of permanent equity loans. In these instances any foreign exchange movements are recognised in equity (foreign currency translation reserve) as these equity loans are considered to form part of the net investment in the subsidiary. (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insigniﬁcant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. For the purposes of the cash ﬂow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as deﬁned above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (i) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Bad debts are written off when incurred. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the allowance is recognised in the income statement. (j) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. This includes the transfer from equity of gains and losses on qualifying cash ﬂow hedges of purchases of ﬁnished goods. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on a weighted average cost basis. (k) Derivative ﬁnancial instruments and hedging The group may use derivative ﬁnancial instruments such as forward exchange contracts, foreign exchange option contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate ﬂuctuations. Such derivative ﬁnancial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives, except for those that qualify for hedge accounting, are taken directly to the income statement for the year. The fair value of forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange option contracts are calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity proﬁles and where applicable exercise prices. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market values for similar instruments. For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classiﬁed as cash ﬂow hedges when they hedge exposure to variability in cash ﬂows that is attributable either to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or to a forecast transaction. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identiﬁcation of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s cash ﬂows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash ﬂows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the ﬁnancial reporting periods for which they were designated. When accounting for foreign exchange option contracts, the intrinsic value of the option is the only component subject to the hedging relationship. The time value of money is excluded from the hedge relationship. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 43 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (k) Derivative ﬁnancial instruments and hedging continued Hedges that meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows: Cash ﬂow hedges Cash ﬂow hedges are hedges of the group’s exposure to variability in cash ﬂows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and that could affect proﬁt or loss. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in equity, while the ineffective portion is recognised in income statement. Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects proﬁt or loss, such as when hedged income or expenses are recognised or when a forecast purchase occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non- ﬁnancial asset or liability, the amounts taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non- ﬁnancial asset or liability. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in equity are transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amount is taken to the income statement. A hedge of the foreign currency risk of a ﬁrm commitment is accounted for as a cash ﬂow hedge. (l) Plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation on plant and equipment is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of between 2 and 10 years. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each year end. An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic beneﬁts are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset at the time of derecognition) is included in the income statement in the year in which they arise. (m) Intangible assets - 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 acquiree’s identiﬁable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination shall, from the acquisition date, be allocated to each of the group’s cash generating units, or groups of cash generating units, that are expected to beneﬁt from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. When goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and an operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed. (n) Intangible assets - other Intangible assets acquired separately or in a business combination are initially measured at cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against proﬁts in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either ﬁnite or indeﬁnite. 44 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (n) Intangible assets - other continued Intangible assets with ﬁnite lives are amortised over the useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a ﬁnite useful life are reviewed at least at each year end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic beneﬁts embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, which is a change in accounting estimate. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with ﬁnite lives is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible asset. Intangible assets with indeﬁnite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Such intangibles are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indeﬁnite life is reviewed each reporting period to determine whether indeﬁnite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indeﬁnite to ﬁnite is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate and is thus accounted for on a prospective basis. Research and development costs Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development expenditure on an internal project is recognised only when the group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic beneﬁts, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure so capitalised is amortised over the period of expected beneﬁts from the related project. The carrying value of an intangible asset arising from development expenditure is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting period. A summary of the policies applied to the group’s intangible assets is as follows: Brand names Internally generated or Acquired Useful lives Acquired Indeﬁnite Amortisation method used No amortisation Impairment test Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists. Computer software Internally generated or Acquired Internally generated and acquired Useful lives Finite Amortisation method used Amortised over the useful life, not exceeding 3 years, on a straight line basis. When an indication of impairment exists. The amortisation method is reviewed at each year end. Internally generated Impairment test Development costs Internally generated or Acquired Useful lives Finite Amortisation method used Amortised over the period Impairment test of expected future sales, not exceeding 3 years, from the related project on a straight line basis. Annually and more frequently when an indication of impairment exists. The amortisation method is reviewed at each year end. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement when the asset is derecognised. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 45 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (o) Impairment of non-ﬁnancial assets other than goodwill 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 tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 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 inﬂows that are largely independent of the cash inﬂows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-ﬁnancial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are tested for possible reversal of the impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the impairment may have reversed. (p) Investments and other ﬁnancial assets Financial assets in the scope of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are classiﬁed as either ﬁnancial assets at fair value through proﬁt or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments, as appropriate. When ﬁnancial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through the income statement, directly attributable transactions costs. The group determines the classiﬁcation of its ﬁnancial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each year end. All regular way purchases and sales of ﬁnancial assets are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the group commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of ﬁnancial assets under contracts that require delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace. (i) Financial assets at fair value through the income statement Financial assets classiﬁed as held for trading are included in the category ‘ﬁnancial assets at fair value through the income statement’. Financial assets are classiﬁed as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classiﬁed as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the income statement. (ii) Held-to-maturity investments Non-derivative ﬁnancial assets with ﬁxed or determinable payments and ﬁxed maturity are classiﬁed as held-to-maturity when the group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments intended to be held for an undeﬁned period are not included in this classiﬁcation. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity, such as bonds, are subsequently measured at amortised cost. This cost is computed as the amount initially recognised minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initially recognised amount and the maturity amount. This calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts. For investments carried at amortised cost, gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. (iii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative ﬁnancial assets with ﬁxed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. (iv) Available-for-sale investments Available-for-sale investments are those non-derivative ﬁnancial assets that are designated as available-for- sale or are not classiﬁed as any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale investments are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is recognised in the income statement. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised ﬁnancial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments with no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash ﬂow analysis and option pricing models. (q) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the group prior to the end of the year that are unpaid and arise when the group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 46 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (q) Trade and other payables continued Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non- monetary beneﬁts, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in trade and other payables in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable. Contributions to the deﬁned contribution fund are recognised as an expense as they become payable. (r) Share-based payment transactions Equity settled transactions The group provides beneﬁts to employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). Refer to note 27 for details. award subject to a market condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition is fulﬁlled, provided that all other conditions are satisﬁed. If the terms of an equity-settled award are modiﬁed, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modiﬁed. An additional expense is recognised for any modiﬁcation that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneﬁcial to the employee, as measured at the date of modiﬁcation. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modiﬁcation of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reﬂected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (see note 4). (s) Provisions The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value has been determined by an external valuer using a Black Scholes or binomial model, further details of which are given in note 27. Provisions are recognised when the group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outﬂow of resources embodying economic beneﬁts will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of Breville Group Limited (market conditions), if applicable. The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulﬁlled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the income statement is the product of (i) the grant date fair value of the award; (ii) the current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met; and (iii) the expired portion of the vesting period. The charge to the income statement for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity. Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any Where the group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured as the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reﬂects the risks speciﬁc to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a ﬁnance cost. Onerous contracts An onerous contract is considered to exist when the group has a contract under which the unavoidable cost of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic beneﬁts estimated to be received. Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised as a provision to the extent that the present obligation exceeds the economic beneﬁt estimated to be received. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 47 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (s) Provisions continued Warranties and faulty goods Provisions for warranty and faulty goods are recognised at the date of sale of the relevant products, at the group’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the group’s liability. Employee leave beneﬁts - long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised as a provision and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using appropriate market yields at the reporting date to estimate the future cash outﬂows. Provision for restructure The provision for restructure represents the value of expected future payments to be made in respect of business restructuring. Provision for make-good The provision for make-good represents the value of expected future payments to be made in respect of restoration of leased premises under contracts that have clauses potentially requiring these premises to be restored to their original condition at the conclusion of the lease. The estimate may vary as a result of negotiations between the parties at the end of the lease term. (t) Borrowings All borrowings, including cash advance facilities, are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings, including cash advance facilities, are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised. Borrowings are classiﬁed as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. (u) Contributed equity (i) Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classiﬁed as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. (ii) Ordinary shares held by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust Ordinary shares held by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust in order to fulﬁl its obligations under the Breville Group Limited Performance Rights Plan are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase of the group’s equity instruments by the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust. (v) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable to the extent it is probable that the economic beneﬁts will ﬂow to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following speciﬁc recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Sale of goods Revenue is recognised when the signiﬁcant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer at the earlier of delivery of the goods or the transfer of legal title to the buyer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns, allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. (ii) Commission income Where an agency relationship exists, the amount included in revenue represents the commission received or receivable. (iii) Finance revenue Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a ﬁnancial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the ﬁnancial asset to the net carrying amount of the ﬁnancial asset. (iv) Dividends Revenue is recognised when the group’s right to receive the payment is established. (w) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. 48 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (x) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulﬁlment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a speciﬁc asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. (i) Group as a lessee Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Any lease incentives are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. (ii) Group as a lessor In some instances the group sub leases surplus operating lease space. Rentals received under sub leases are recognised as a reduction in operating lease expense. Future rentals to be received under non- cancellable sub leases are disclosed in note 24. (y) Income tax and other taxes (i) Current tax Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. (ii) Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets/liabilities and their carrying amounts at balance sheet date for ﬁnancial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: • when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting proﬁt nor taxable proﬁt or loss; or • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries and the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable proﬁt will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: • when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable proﬁt or loss; or • when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable proﬁt will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufﬁcient taxable proﬁt will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable proﬁt will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Income taxes in relation to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the income statement. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. (iii) Tax consolidation legislation Breville Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian resident controlled entities (excluding the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust) have implemented the tax consolidated legislation as of 1 July 2003. The head entity, Breville Group Limited and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue 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 stand alone tax payer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Breville Group Limited also recognises: (a) 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; and (b) assets or liabilities arising for Breville Group Limited under the tax funding agreement as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

Summary of signiﬁcant accounting policies continued (y) Income tax and other taxes continued (aa) Comparatives (iii) Tax consolidation legislation continued Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. (iv) Other taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) or value added tax (VAT) except: • where the GST/VAT incurred on the purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST/VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and • receivables and payables, which are stated with the applicable amount of GST/VAT included. The net amount of GST/VAT recoverable/payable is included in receivables/payables in the statement of ﬁnancial position. Cash ﬂows are included in the cash ﬂow statement on a gross basis and the GST/VAT component of cash ﬂows arising from investing and ﬁnancing activities are classiﬁed as operating cash ﬂows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of recoverable/payable GST/VAT. (z) Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated as net proﬁt attributable to members of the parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net proﬁt or loss attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for: • cost of servicing equity (other than dividends); • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and • other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares; divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element. Where necessary, comparatives have been reclassiﬁed and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures. (ab) New accounting standards and interpretations (i) Changes to accounting policy and disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous ﬁnancial year, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations noted below: AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 119 Employee Beneﬁts AASB 2012-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Annual Improvements 2009- 2011 Cycle AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (early adopted) Other new standards that are applicable for the ﬁrst time at 30 June 2014, did not affect Breville Group’s accounting policies or any of the amounts recognised in the ﬁnancial statements.

Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 53 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 3. Income tax continued Tax consolidation Breville Group Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries (excluding the Breville Group Performance Share Plan Trust) have formed a tax consolidated group with effect from 1 July 2003. The head entity, Breville Group Limited, and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group are required 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 stand alone tax payer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Breville Group Limited also recognises: (a) 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; and (b) assets or liabilities arising for Breville Group Limited under the tax funding agreement as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group. Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The tax funding agreement supports the calculation of current tax liabilities (and assets) and deferred tax assets/liabilities on a stand-alone basis. Calculation is performed in accordance with AASB 112 Income Tax. The allocation of taxes under the tax funding agreement is recognised as an increase/decrease in the subsidiaries’ intercompany accounts with the tax consolidated group head company, Breville Group Limited. No amounts have been recognised in the ﬁnancial statements in respect of the tax sharing agreement should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations on the basis that the possibility of default is remote. 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 Note 4.

An allowance for uncollectible receivables is made when there is objective evidence on a case by case basis that a trade receivable is impaired. A charge of $37,000 (2013: $124,000) has been recognised by the group as an expense in ‘other expenses’ for the current year for speciﬁc debtors for which such evidence exists. The amount of the allowance/impairment loss has been measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables and the estimated future cash ﬂows expected to be received from the relevant debtors. Movements in the allowances for uncollectible receivables are as follows: Balance at beginning of year Charge for the year Net foreign exchange Amounts utilised Balance at end of year 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 291 37 (5) (131) 192 470 124 20 (323) 291 At 30 June 2014 an ageing analysis of those trade receivables which are past due but not impaired are as follows: 1 – 30 days overdue 31 – 60 days overdue 61+ days overdue Total past due but not impaired 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 16,219 122 10 16,351 8,682 149 8 8,839 Trade receivables past due but not impaired amount to $16,351,000 (2013: $8,839,000). Of this balance, $13,803,000 (2013: $6,851,000) is covered by insurance to be used in the event of default of payment. In all instances each operating unit has been in contact with the relevant debtor and is satisﬁed that payment will be received in full. (b) Non-trade other receivables are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 and 60 days. Balances within other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these balances will be received when due. The carrying value and estimated net fair values of the trade and other receivables is assumed to approximate their fair value, being the amount at which the asset could be exchanged between willing parties.

This intangible asset has been assessed as having a ﬁnite life and is amortised using the straight line method over a maximum period of 3 years. If an impairment indication arises, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised to the extent that the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount. Computer software is internally developed and purchased computer software that has been capitalised into other intangible assets at cost. Brand names include intangible assets acquired through previous business combinations. These intangible assets have been determined to have indeﬁnite useful lives as the economic beneﬁts which are obtained from them are expected to be ongoing.

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangibles with indeﬁnite lives Goodwill and brand names acquired through business combinations have been allocated to cash generating units for impairment testing as follows: • Breville Group • Breville Australia • North America Distribution • New Zealand Distribution • Rest of World Distributors In all cases the recoverable amount of the individual cash generating unit has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash ﬂow projections based on ﬁnancial budgets approved by the Board. The discount rate applied to cash ﬂow projections is 12.8% (2013: 13.4%). Cash ﬂows beyond the approved 30 June 2014 budgets are extrapolated using a 3% growth rate (2013: 2.0%), which is the same as the long-term average growth rate for the wholesale consumer products industry generally. Management has performed sensitivity testing by cash generating unit (CGU), based on assessing the effect of changes in revenue growth rates as well as discount rates. Management consider any reasonable likely combination of changes in these key assumptions would not result in the carrying value of the goodwill exceeding the recoverable amount. Note 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 Carrying amount of goodwill and brand names are allocated as follows: Breville Group - brand names with indeﬁnite useful lives 13,800 13,800 Breville Australia - goodwill - brand names with indeﬁnite useful lives North America Distribution - goodwill New Zealand Distribution - goodwill Rest of World Distributors - goodwill All cash generating units - goodwill - brand names with indeﬁnite useful lives Total carrying amount of goodwill and brand names 20,277 17,775 38,052 20,277 18,003 38,280 1,764 1,764 276 276 2,241 56,133 24,558 31,575 56,133 2,241 56,361 24,558 31,803 56,361 13 12(c) Key assumptions used in value in use calculations for the cash generating units for 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its cash ﬂow projections when determining the value in use of the cash generating units. • Budgeted gross margins – the basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margins is based on past performance and expectations for the future. • Bond rates – the yield on a ten-year government bond rate at the beginning of the budgeted year is used.

Provisions continued Employee beneﬁts – long service The provision for employee beneﬁts represents the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using appropriate market yields at the reporting date to estimate the future cash outﬂows. Provision for restructure The provision for restructure represents the value of expected future payments to be made in respect of the restructure of the Canadian business unit following the cessation of the Keurig distribution agreement in Canada. Provision for make-good The provision for make-good represents the value of expected future payments to be made in respect of restoration of leased premises under contracts that have clauses potentially requiring these premises to be restored to their original condition at the conclusion of the lease. The estimate may vary as a result of negotiations between the parties at the end of the lease term. Onerous lease contracts The provision for onerous lease contracts represents the present value of the future lease payments that the consolidated entity is presently obligated to make in respect of onerous lease contracts under non-cancellable operating lease agreements, less revenue expected to be earned on the lease including estimated future sub-lease revenue, where applicable. The estimate may vary as a result of changes in the utilisation of the leased premises and sub-lease arrangements where applicable. Note 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 Note 18.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of ﬁnancial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a signiﬁcant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a signiﬁcant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. The fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities have been determined under Level 2. Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 65 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 18. Other ﬁnancial liabilities continued (i) Forward exchange contracts - cash ﬂow hedges The majority of the group’s inventory purchases from suppliers are denominated in US dollars (US$). In order to manage exchange rate movements and to manage the inventory costing process, the group has entered into forward exchange contracts to purchase US$. These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted purchases and highly probable forecasted payments and they are timed to mature when settlement of purchases or the payments are scheduled to be made. The cash ﬂows are expected to occur between 0-12 months from 1 July 2014 (2013: 0-12 months) and the cost of sales and where applicable the sale of goods within the income statement will be affected in the next ﬁnancial year as the inventory is sold or the payments are made. At balance date, the details of outstanding contracts are: 30 June 2014 30 June 2013 Average exchange rate A$’000 Average exchange rate A$’000 Buy US$ / Sell Australian $ Buy US$ - maturity 0-12 months (2013: 0-12 months) 34,658 0.8887 30,631 0.9549 Buy US$ / Sell New Zealand $ Buy US$ - maturity 0-5 months (2013: 0-5 months) 1,731 0.8312 2,494 0.8149 Buy US$ / Sell Canadian $ Buy US$ - maturity 0-6 months (2013: 0-6 months) 10,587 0.9150 8,514 0.9772 Buy US$ / Sell British £ Buy US$ - maturity 0-6 months (2013: 0-5 months) 2,348 1.6757 3,095 1.5161 Buy CHF / Sell Australian $ Buy CHF – maturity 0-7 months (2013: nil) 538 0.8367 Buy Euro / Sell Australian $ Buy Euro – maturity 0-8 months (2013: nil) 1,531 0.6859 - - - - The cash ﬂow hedges of the forecast purchases and forecast payments are considered to be highly effective and any gain or loss on the contracts is taken directly to equity. Where the contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted inventory purchases, when the inventory is received the amount recognised in equity is adjusted to the inventory account in the balance sheet. Where the contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted payments, when the payments are made the amount recognised in equity is adjusted to the income statement. During the year $1,099,000 was credited to inventory (2013: $257,000 debited) and $2,947,000 was debited (2013: $1,370,000 credited) to equity in respect of the group. 66 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 Note 19.

Operating segments 5(a) 48,765 (33,824) 84,934 49,732 (33,174) 69,993 The group has identiﬁed its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed by the chief operating decision makers (group chief executive ofﬁcer and board of directors) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The ANZ Distribution and North America Distribution operating segments distribute primarily small electrical appliances to retail customers in their geographical locations. The Rest of World operating segment distributes primarily small electrical appliances to distributors in international locations and also includes the UK business. Other is not an operating segment and comprises the short term incentive plan and group’s shared service facility, including the group’s design and development, global marketing and supply chain functions. The prior year comparative includes the revenues and costs associated with the establishment of the new UK business which commenced trading in May 2013. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in note 1. Transfer prices between operating segments are set at arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. The segment revenue and segment result include certain transfers between operating segments. Those transfers are eliminated on consolidation. Segment proﬁt before income tax excludes certain transfer prices and includes an allocation of head ofﬁce costs.

Financial risk management objectives and policies The group’s principal ﬁnancial instruments, other than derivatives, comprises cash advances, bank overdrafts, cash at bank and short-term deposits. The main purpose of these ﬁnancial instruments is to raise ﬁnance for the group’s operations. The group has various other ﬁnancial assets and liabilities such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from its operations. The group also enters into derivative transactions, including forward exchange contracts and at times, foreign exchange option contracts and interest rate swaps. The purpose is to manage the interest rate and currency risks arising from the group’s business operations and its sources of ﬁnance. It is the group’s policy that no speculative trading in derivatives shall be undertaken. The main risks arising from the group’s ﬁnancial instruments are cash ﬂow interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and credit risk. The board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below. Details of the signiﬁcant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of ﬁnancial asset, ﬁnancial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 1 to the ﬁnancial statements. The fair value of the forward exchange contracts is estimated using market observable inputs. The fair values of these ﬁnancial instruments are disclosed in notes 9 and 18. Interest rate risk The group is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings, cash balances and derivative ﬁnancial instruments. The group’s policy is to manage its interest rate risk using a mix of ﬁxed and variable rate debt. Historically, ﬁxed rate debt was achieved through the use of interest rate swaps in which the group agrees to exchange, at speciﬁed intervals, the difference between ﬁxed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Cash advance facilities have short term ﬁxed interest rates with maturities ranging between 1 and 3 months, therefore within the ﬁnancial year they are exposed to interest rate risk. At 30 June 2014, the group has the following exposure to interest rate risk: Cash at bank Bank overdraft – on demand Cash advance facilities Term loan Net exposure 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 70,885 - (23,687) (149) 47,049 68,130 (1,580) (22,941) (179) 43,430 At 30 June 2014, 0% of the group’s borrowings (2013: 0%) are at a ﬁxed rate of interest. The remaining 100% (2013: 100%) is exposed to ﬂoating rates. On a principal net receivable of $47,049,000 (2013: $43,430,000), at an average payable rate including margin of 2.5% (2013: 2.5%) and average receivable rate of 1.4% (2013: 2.3%), an increment of 0.5% in the market rates would result in a decrease in ﬁnance costs of $437,000 (2013: $421,000), conversely a decrement of 0.5% in the market rates would result in an increase in ﬁnance costs of $323,000 (2013: $333,000). The group’s net exposure to interest rate risk calculated as at 30 June 2014 is not representative of its exposure during the ﬁnancial year due to seasonality in the volume of sales such that ﬁnancial performance is historically weighted in favour of the half to 31 December. This seasonality results in a higher level of receivable and inventory balances and a consequent increase in working capital requirements. All of the group’s borrowings during the year (2013 average borrowings: 100%) are at a ﬂoating rate of interest. On an average principal net receivable during the year of $31,936,000 (2013: $35,688,000), at an average payable rate including margin of 2.5% (2013: 2.5%) and average receivable rate of 1.4% (2013: 2.3%), an increment of 0.5% in the market rates would result in a decrease in ﬁnance costs of $160,000 (2013: $178,000), conversely a decrement of 0.5% in the market rates would result in a decrease in ﬁnance costs of $126,000 (2013: $152,000). Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 71 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 23. Financial risk management objectives and policies continued Foreign currency risk The group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currently and is exposed to foreign exchange rate ﬂuctuations. Such exposure arises primarily from purchases of inventory by a business unit in currencies other than the unit’s functional currency (purchases are predominately US dollar denominated). Other foreign exchange risk only arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. To hedge exposure arising from the purchase of inventories or payments in currencies other than the business unit’s functional currency, a combination of forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange option contracts may be utilised. At inception these hedge contracts are designated as cash ﬂow hedges to hedge the exposure to the variability in cash ﬂows arising as a result of movements in exchange rates below contracted exchange rates for options and for movements above or below a contracted exchange rate for forward exchange contracts. Also, as a result of the group’s investment in its overseas operations, the group’s balance sheet can be affected signiﬁcantly by movements in the exchange rates of the jurisdictions it operates within. At 30 June 2014, the group has the following ﬁnancial assets and liabilities exposed to foreign currency risk: Cash at bank Trade and other receivables Trade and other payables Other ﬁnancial assets – derivative assets Other ﬁnancial liabilities – derivative liabilities Net exposure 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 1,442 2,287 (17) 7 (1,967) 1,752 (37) 3,286 (3,264) 2,110 (13) 2,082 At 30 June 2014, the group had hedged 57% (2013: 50%) of its foreign currency purchases extending to June 2015 (2013: June 2014). The remaining 43% (2013: 50%) is exposed to foreign exchange risk. Of the total net exposure above, an increment of 10% in the foreign exchange rates would result in a decrease in other expenses of $335,000 (2013: $1,500). A decrement of 10% in the foreign exchange rates would result in an increase in other expenses of $415,000 (2013: $1,700). In respect of net derivative assets and liabilities above, being the fair value of forward exchange contracts designated as cash ﬂow hedges, a decrease of 10% in the US dollar exchange rate against local currencies, all other variables held constant, would result in an increase in equity of $5,215,000 (2013: $5,164,000). Conversely, an increase of 10% in the US dollar exchange rate against local currencies, all other variables held constant, would result in a decrease in equity of $4,267,000 (2013: $4,225,000). Capital management The board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market conﬁdence and to sustain future development of the business. The board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. The board monitors the group’s gearing ratio and compliance with debt covenants on a regular basis. The group’s gearing ratio at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 is nil due to the group being in a net cash position. The gearing ratio is deﬁned as group net borrowings divided by capital employed (net borrowings plus shareholders’ equity). 72 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 23. Financial risk management objectives and policies continued Credit risk Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The credit risk on ﬁnancial assets, excluding investments, of the group that has been recognised on the balance sheet is the carrying value amount, net of any uncollectible receivables. The group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit veriﬁcation procedures. In certain instances, where deemed appropriate, receivable insurance is acquired to offset the group’s exposure to credit risk. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the group’s exposure to bad debts is not signiﬁcant. There are no signiﬁcant concentrations of credit risk across the group. With respect to credit risk arising from the other ﬁnancial assets of the group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, the group’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. These counter parties are large multi-national banks. Since the group trades only with recognised third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. Liquidity risk The group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and ﬂexibility through the use of cash advances and bank overdrafts. The group’s bank facilities carry between a one and three year term in Australia, USA, Canada and the UK. As at 30 June 2014, 99.6% of the group’s borrowings will mature in greater than one year (2013: 45%) and 0.4% (2013: 55%) in less than one year. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the group’s liquidity reserve on the basis of expected cash ﬂows. See note 16 for details of available facilities. At 30 June 2014, the remaining contractual maturities of the group’s ﬁnancial liabilities are: Less than 1 year Between 1 and 5 years Total ﬁnancial liabilities 30 June 2014 $’000 30 June 2013 $’000 83,846 23,780 107,626 95,931 11,686 107,617 The table below analyses the group’s remaining contractual maturities by the type of ﬁnancial liability.

Share-based payment plans Performance rights plan Under the performance rights plan participants are issued with performance rights over the ordinary shares of Breville Group Limited issued in accordance with the Breville Group Limited Performance Rights Plan (PRP). An offer under the PRP grants a participant the right to a certain number of fully paid ordinary shares in the company. Upon satisfaction of the performance hurdle, the right will vest and be convertible into shares. The company uses time-based and ﬁnancial-based hurdles. Earnings per share (EPS) is the ﬁnancial-based performance hurdle for the LTI plan. EPS represents the earnings per share from operations adjusted for non-trading items. The use of EPS ensures an alignment between shareholder return and reward for participants. In addition to the grant of performance rights awards which are subject to an EPS performance hurdle, performance rights awards also may be granted in accordance with the PRP as a retention award where the performance condition is continued employment with the company to vesting date. If the performance hurdle is not met or if the participant ceases to be employed by the company, any unvested performance rights will lapse unless otherwise determined by the board. There are no cash alternatives. The performance rights cannot be transferred and are not quoted on the ASX. Holders of performance rights are not entitled to notice of, or attend, a meeting of shareholders of the company, or receive any dividends declared by the company, until the rights have vested and then converted into shares. Once allocated, disposal of shares is subject to restrictions whereby board approval is required to sell the shares granted within three years of the shares being allocated to the participant or; if the participant ceases to be employed by the company, within twelve months of the date employment ceases; or such other date as the board determines. In the event of a takeover bid where the bidder and its associates become entitled to at least 50% of the voting shares of the company, any performance rights granted will vest where the board, in its absolute discretion, is satisﬁed that pro rata performance is in line with any performance condition applicable to those performance rights. Any performance rights which do not vest will immediately lapse, unless otherwise determined by the board. At 30 June 2014 there are 920,000 (2013: 1,124,734) performance rights outstanding under this plan. 78 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Note 27.

Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 79 Notes to the ﬁnancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 Note 27. Share-based payment plans continued The average remaining contractual life for the performance rights outstanding at 30 June 2014 is between 1 and 3 years (2013: 1 and 3 years). The exercise price for performance rights outstanding at the end of the year was $0.00. (2013: $nil). The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted during the year was $7.70 (2013: $4.84). The fair value of the equity-settled performance rights granted under the performance rights plan, is estimated as at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options and performance rights were granted. The following table lists the inputs to the model used for the grants during the year ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013: Grant date Vesting date Dividend yield (%) Expected volatility (%) Historical volatility (%) Risk-free interest rate (%) Expected life of performance right (years) Performance right exercise price ($) Weighted average share price at grant date ($) Weighted average fair value at grant date ($) 30 June 2014 30 June 2013 (Black- Scholes) (Black- Scholes) (Black- Scholes) (Black- Scholes) (Black- Scholes) (Black- Scholes) 10 Mar 14 2 Oct 13 2 Oct 12 2 Oct 12 2 Oct 12 2 Oct 12 2 Jan 17 2 Sep 16 3 Oct 14 3 Oct 13 2 Sept 13 3 Sep 15 3.50 35.00 35.00 3.00 4.00 35.00 35.00 2.86 5.00 35.00 35.00 2.40 5.00 35.00 35.00 2.57 5.00 35.00 35.00 2.57 5.00 35.00 35.00 2.38 2.8 years 2.9 years 2.0 years 1.0 years 1.0 years 2.9 years 0.00 9.93 8.58 0.00 8.33 7.61 0.00 5.74 4.95 0.00 5.74 5.19 0.00 5.74 5.21 0.00 5.74 4.73 The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur.

On behalf of the board Steven Fisher Non-executive chairman Sydney 20 August 2014 82 Breville Group Limited annual report 2014 Independent audit report Independent auditor’s report to the members of Breville Group Limited Report on the financial report We have audited the accompanying financial report of Breville Group Limited (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the 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 controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, 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 about 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 judgment, 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 controls relevant to the 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 controls. 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. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the directors’ report.
