2015 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED
GROUP PROFILE
BKI Investment Company Limited (“BKI” or “the Group”) is a Listed Investment Company on the Australian Stock
Exchange. The Group invests in a diversified portfolio of Australian shares, trusts and interest bearing securities.
BKI shares were listed on the Australian Stock Exchange Limited from 12 December 2003.
Corporate Objectives
The Group aims to generate an increasing income stream for distribution to shareholders in the form of fully
franked dividends to the extent of available imputation tax credits, through long term investment in a portfolio of
assets that are also able to deliver long term capital growth to shareholders.
Investment Strategy
The Group is a research driven, long term manager focusing on well managed companies, with a profitable
history and that offer attractive dividend yields. Stock selection is bottom up, focusing on the merits of individual
companies rather than market and economic trends.
Dividend Policy
With respect to prudent business practices, and ensuring the business retains sufficient working capital to allow
the achievement of the Group’s Corporate Objectives and Business Strategy, the Group will pay the maximum
amount of realised profits after tax for that year to shareholders as fully franked dividends to the extent permitted
by the Corporations Act and the Income Tax Assessment Act.
Ordinary dividends will be declared by the Board of Directors out of the Company’s Net Operating Result, after
tax but before special investment revenue.
In circumstances where the Group accumulates sufficient special investment revenue after ensuring the business
retains sufficient working capital in accordance with its capital management objectives, the Board will consider
declaring special fully franked dividends to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act and the Income Tax
Assessment Act.
In circumstances where the Group generates sufficient qualifying capital gains, LIC Gains will be distributed to
shareholders to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act and the Income Tax Assessment Act.
Management
The Group has an internal portfolio management function comprising the CEO, Mr Tom Millner and Senior
Investment Analyst, Mr William Culbert.
The Group also engages Corporate & Administrative Services Pty Ltd to provide accounting, company secretarial
and administrative services. These services are overseen by the BKI Company Secretary, Mr Jaime Pinto.

2015 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to enclose the 12th Annual Report of BKI Investment Company Limited (BKI) for the year to 30 June 2015.
Result Highlights
We’ve been able to deliver another solid result for our shareholders in a market dominated by volatility and
uncertainty. Net Operating Result before special dividend income increased 14% to $40.9m, while Basic Earnings
per Share before special dividend income increased 4% to 7.40cps. Special dividend income for the year totalled
$2.1m, taking Basic Earnings per Share after special dividend income to 7.78cps, up 5% from last year.
BKI’s improved result was mainly driven by higher dividends received from BHP Billiton, Woodside Petroleum,
APA Group, Commonwealth Bank, Transurban Limited, Suncorp Group, Westpac Bank, ANZ Bank, ASX Limited,
Wesfarmers Limited and Macquarie Bank. Lower contributions were received from New Hope Corporation, ALS
Limited, Salmat Limited and Coca Cola Amatil.
BKI also received special dividend income from ARB Corporation, Suncorp Group, New Hope Corporation,
Wesfarmers Limited and Milton Corporation. These special dividends helped lift Net Profit attributable to
shareholders by 15% to $43.0m, against the previous year.
We’ll continue to look through the short term noise and keep investing for the long term, through profitable
dividend paying companies that we understand and are supported by a long term thematic. We will continue to
invest our shareholders funds with a clear focus on generating an increasing income stream for distribution as
fully franked dividends.

2015 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED
CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS (continued)
Outlook
Fiscal 2016 will be another interesting year for equity markets with the low interest rate environment in Australia
expected to continue. Given this, the most sought-after equity investments are likely to be those companies
offering quality dividend yields. Further opportunities exist to obtain sustainable income outside of cash and fixed
interest with the dividend yield of the S&P/ASX300 Index alone forecast at 4.9% in FY2016. However, for many
companies, the ability to continually offer this high income stream to yield motivated shareholders is becoming
increasingly challenging.
In many sectors of the economy, company revenue growth has been flat for a number of years. Managers have
been forced to focus on cutting expenses to ensure they deliver increased dividends. However, there has been
a lack of growth in earnings in this period. To continually increase dividend distributions, payout ratios of the
S&P/ASX 300 Index have grown from 59% in FY2010 to an estimated 75% for FY2015.

This cost out strategy has been appropriate in recent years, but it’s the next phase where investors need to be
careful. BKI’s strict investment process ensures we don’t chase investments with high, unsustainable payout
ratios or high gearing levels. We become concerned when companies are not reinvesting back into their business
for future growth or can’t afford to service their debt.
When companies need to address their lack of investment or high debt levels, something has to give and it’s
usually the dividend that goes first. With this in mind BKI will be taking a cautious approach to the next year. We
will continue to invest as we always have done, with a focus on the companies which are well managed and
profitable. We prefer to buy stocks that have strong dividend growth but we won’t be chasing stocks offering
high yields that we don’t think are sustainable.
BKI remains in a strong financial position with no debt, and cash and cash equivalents (including dividends
receivable) representing 5.4% of the total portfolio.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Millner

2015 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
4. Principal Activities
Principal activities of the Group are that of a Listed Investment Company (LIC) primarily focused on long term
investment in ASX listed securities. There were no significant changes in the nature of those activities during the year.
5. Operating Results
Net Operating Result before special dividend income increased 14% to $40.9m, while Basic Earnings per Share
before special dividend income increased 4% to 7.40cps. Special dividend income for the year totalled $2.1m,
taking Basic Earnings per Share after special dividend income to 7.78cps, up 5% from last year.
BKI’s improved result was mainly driven by higher dividends from BHP Billiton, Woodside Petroleum, APA
Group, Commonwealth Bank, Transurban Limited, Suncorp Group, Westpac Bank, ANZ Bank, ASX Limited,
Wesfarmers and Macquarie Bank. Lower contributions were received from New Hope Corporation, ALS Limited,
Salmat Limited and Coca Cola Amatil.
BKI also received special dividend income from ARB Corporation, Suncorp Group, New Hope Corporation,
Wesfarmers Limited and Milton Corporation. These special dividends helped lift the Net Profit attributable to
shareholders by 15% to $43.0m (2014:$37.4M).
6. Review of Operations
Operating expenses for the full year were $1.61m, an increase of $0.36m on FY2014. This, in combination
with an 8% increase in the Total Portfolio Value from 30 June 2014, resulted in BKI’s MER increasing to 0.18%
(2014: 0.17%).
BKI’s Total Shareholder Return (including the reinvestment of dividends) for the year to 30 June 2015 was 5.4%,
underperforming the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 0.2%. BKI’s Total Shareholder Returns for 5 years
and 10 years outperformed the Index by 3.8% per annum and 2.6% per annum respectively.
BKI’s Net Portfolio Return (after all operating expenses, provision and payment of income and capital gains tax
and the reinvestment of dividends) for the year to 30 June 2015 was 5.6%, compared to the S&P/ASX 300
Accumulation Index which returned 5.6% over the same period.
During the year BKI successfully completed a Share Purchase Plan (SPP), raising $47.8m at $1.655 per share.
BKI deployed funds of approximately $107 into the market over FY2015, offset by sales of approximately $57m.
Major investments during the year included National Australia Bank, APA Group, Sydney Airports, Transurban
Group, Qube Logistics, Santos Limited, Wesfarmers Limited, Lindsay Australia and ASX Limited. A new position
in Regis Healthcare was also established.
Main disposals included Toll Holdings, ALS Limited, DUET Group, GWA Group, South32 Limited, Healthscope
Limited, Medibank Private, UGL Limited, Arrium Limited and Seven West Media.
7. Financial Position
Net assets of the Group increased during the financial year by $61.8 million to $853.2 million. This movement
was driven by the $47.8 million raised in the SPP in August 2014.
8. Employees
The Group has two employees as at 30 June 2015 (2014: two).

10. Likely Developments and Expected Results
The operations of the Group will continue with planned long term investments in Australian equities and fixed

franked) was paid out of retained profits at 30 June 2014.
K On 26 February 2015, an interim total dividend of $19,698,078 (ordinary dividend of 3.55 cents per share,
fully franked) was paid out of retained profits at 31 December 2014.
In addition, the Directors declared a final ordinary dividend of 3.65 cents per share fully franked payable on

15. Proceedings on Behalf of the Group
No person has applied for leave of the Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Group or intervene in any
proceedings to which the Group is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for all
or any part of those proceedings. The Group was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
16. Non-audit Services
No non-audit services were provided by and no fees for non-audit services were paid to the external auditor, MGI
Sydney Assurance Services Pty Limited (“MGI Sydney”), during the year to 30 June 2015.
17. Auditor Rotation
In accordance with section 324DAA of the Corporations Act 2001 (“the Act”) and the recommendation of the BKI
Audit Committee, the Board of BKI has granted approval for Martin Boxce of MGI Sydney (formerly Ruwald +
Evans) to play a significant role in the audit of BKI for an additional 2 successive financial years to 30 June 2015.
Approval is so granted as the BKI Board is satisfied that retaining MGI Sydney will maintain the quality of the audit
provided to the company; and will not give rise to a conflict of interest situation (as defined in section 324CD of
the Act). Reasons supporting this decision include:
K BKI will retain the right to reassess the appointment at any time;
K MGI Sydney has a number of independent registered auditors available to undertake the audit of BKI;
K MGI Sydney does not provide any services to BKI other than audit services;
K The existing independence and service metrics put in place by MGI Sydney and BKI are sufficient to ensure
that auditor independence will not be diminished by such an extension.

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration for the year to 30 June 2015 is on page 46.

21. Remuneration Report (Audited)
This remuneration report outlines the Director and Executive remuneration arrangements of the Group in
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this
report, Key Management Personnel of the Group are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility
for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or indirectly.
Remuneration Policy
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements, including performance
incentives, for the Directors themselves, the Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Investment Analyst and the
Company Secretary. It is the Group’s objective to provide maximum shareholder benefit from the retention of a
high quality Board and Executive team by remunerating Directors and Key Executives fairly and appropriately with
reference to relevant employment market conditions, their performance, experience and expertise.
Elements of Director and Executive remuneration
The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for Key Management Personnel and
other Key Executives of the Group is as follows:
K The remuneration policy is developed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board after
professional advice is sought from independent external consultants.
K All Key Management Personnel and other Key Executives receive a base salary or fee, superannuation and
performance incentives.
K Performance incentives are only paid once predetermined key performance indicators have been met.
K Incentives paid in the form of shares are intended to align the interests of the Key Management Personnel and
other Key Executives with those of the shareholders.
K The Remuneration Committee reviews the remuneration packages of Key Management Personnel and other
Key Executives annually by reference to the Group’s performance, Executive performance and comparable
information from industry sectors.
The performance of Key Management Personnel and other Key Executives is measured against relative market
indices and financial and strategic goals approved by the Board and as agreed with each Executive. Performance
is measured on an ongoing basis using management reporting tools. Performance for the assessment of
incentives is performed annually, based predominantly on the growth of shareholder and portfolio returns.
The Board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives and can recommend changes to the
Committee’s recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria.
The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance results
leading to long-term growth in shareholder wealth.
All remuneration paid to Key Management Personnel and other Key Executives is valued at the cost to the Group
and expensed.
The Board’s policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for time, commitment and
responsibilities. The Remuneration Committee determines payments to the Non-Executive Directors and reviews
their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is
sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is
subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
15
2015 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Performance-based Remuneration
BKI has established a Short Term and a Long Term Incentive Scheme. The participants in this scheme are the
CEO, Mr Thomas Millner, the Senior Investment Analyst (SIA), Mr William Culbert, and the Company Secretary,
Mr Jaime Pinto. Mr Thomas Millner and Mr Jaime Pinto are classified as Key Management Personnel, whereas
Mr William Culbert is classified as an Other Key Executive.
The aims of the BKI Incentive Scheme are:
1. To promote superior performance at BKI over both the short and, more importantly, long term.
2. To ensure remuneration is fair and reasonable market remuneration to reward staff.
3. To promote long term staff retention and alignment.
To achieve the objectives of BKI, the Incentive Scheme is required to include several components with separate
measurement criteria.
Short Term Incentive
The Short Term Incentive is determined by reference to annual Total Portfolio Return; compared to the S&P ASX
300 Accumulation Index. BKI’s Total Portfolio Returns are measured by the change in pre tax NTA and are after
all operating expenses, payment of both income and capital gains tax and the reinvestment of dividends.
The Short Term Incentive is paid by way of BKI shares purchased on market by the Company.
The value of the Short Term Incentive for the CEO is calculated as 15% of CEO Base Remuneration. The Short
Term Incentive for the Company Secretary is set at 40% of the CEO Incentive. The value of the Short Term
Incentive for the SIA is calculated as 10% of SIA Base Remuneration.
100% of the Short Term Incentive is initially based on the Total Portfolio Returns as follows:
BKI Total Portfolio Return Compared to S&P/ASX 300 Acc Index
% of Eligible Bonus
Less than Index
Equal to Index
Plus 1%

Plus 4%
Plus 5% or more
0%
100%
110%

The Short Term Incentive is subject to discretionary Board adjustment for the achievement of improved
Management Expense Ratio and promotion of BKI.
The following table summarises performance for the year to 30 June 2015 against the Short Term Incentive
measurement criteria:

Given the above performance, the vesting criteria for the 2015 Financial Year Short Term Incentives were satisfied,
and subsequent to 30 June 2015 the Company purchased on market 51,577 shares on behalf of executives.
16
2015 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)
Long Term Incentive
The Long Term Incentive is determined by reference to annual Total Shareholder Returns compared to the S&P/
ASX 300 Accumulation Index. Total Shareholder Returns are based on the change in BKI Share Price and include
the reinvestment of dividends.
For the CEO the Long Term Incentive is calculated on 25% of the base remuneration of the CEO. All outstanding
incentives granted are to be awarded to the CEO after 4 years, provided that BKI’s 4 year Total Shareholder
Returns exceed the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index over the same period. Should that test fail on the day it
is to be retested in Year 5.
For the Company Secretary, the Long Term Incentive is to be set at 40% of the CEO Long Term Incentive and
subject to the same vesting conditions.
For the SIA, the Long Term Incentive is calculated on 15% of the Base Remuneration of the SIA, and subject to
the same vesting conditions as the CEO Long Term Incentive.
The Long Term Incentive Scheme is to be paid by way of BKI shares purchased on market by the Company
should the incentive targets be met. The Company has accrued as an expense in 2015FY the appropriate portion
of these future costs, and has included these costs in the disclosed remuneration of the CEO and Company
Secretary.
No outstanding Long Term Incentives granted by the Company became eligible for vesting as at 30 June 2015.
No outstanding Long Term Incentives granted by the Company became eligible for vesting between 1 July 2015
and the date of this report.
During the 2015 financial year the Company purchased on market 60,033 shares on behalf of executives in
satisfaction of rights for the period to 30 June 2014 that satisfied the required performance criteria.
The following table summarises movements in Long Term Incentives granted by the Company that have not

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report covers the parent entity of BKI Investment Company Limited and its controlled entities, with
information relating to BKI Investment Company Limited as an individual parent entity summarised in Note 27.
BKI Investment Company Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial report complies with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety.
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the
financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of Preparation
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all years presented.
The Group has attempted to improve the transparency of its reporting by adopting ‘plain English’ where possible.
Key ‘plain English’ phrases and their equivalent AASB terminology are as follows:
Phrase
Market Value
Cash
Share Capital
AASB Terminology
Fair Value for Actively Traded Securities
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Contributed Equity
Reporting Basis and Conventions
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the
revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of
accounting has been applied.
Accounting Policies
a.
Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity BKI Investment Company Limited has the power to control the financial and
operating policies of so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 24(i) to the financial statements. All controlled entities have
a 30 June financial year-end.
All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised profits
or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed
where necessary to ensure consistencies with those policies applied by the parent entity.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, their operating results have been
included/excluded from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased.
Minority equity interests in the equity and results of the entities that are controlled are shown as a separate
item in the consolidated financial report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
b.
Income Tax
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-
assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are
substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised
or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may
be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be
available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the
assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the
group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with
the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.
BKI Investment Company Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income
tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own
current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax balances resulting from unused tax losses
and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The current tax liability of each group
entity is then subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The group notified the Australian Tax Office that
it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 12 December 2003. The tax consolidated
group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each entity in the group contributes to the income
tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.
c.
Financial Instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when
the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are
measured as set out below.
The Group has two portfolios of securities, the investment portfolio and the trading portfolio. The investment
portfolio relates to holdings of securities which the Directors intend to retain on a long-term basis and the
trading portfolio comprises securities held for short term trading purposes.
Securities within the investment portfolio are classified as ‘financial assets measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income’, and are designated as such upon initial recognition. Securities held
within the trading portfolio are classified as ‘mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss in
accordance with AASB 9’.
Valuation of investment portfolio
Listed securities are initially brought to account at market value, which is the cost of acquisition, and are
re-valued to market values continually. Movements in carrying values of securities are recognised as Other
Comprehensive Income and taken to the Revaluation Reserve.
Where disposal of an investment occurs, any revaluation increment or decrement relating to it is transferred
from the Revaluation Reserve to the Realised Capital Gains Reserve.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c.
Financial Instruments (continued)
Valuation of trading portfolio
Listed securities are initially brought to account at market value, which is the cost of acquisition, and are
re-valued to market values continually.
Movements in carrying values of securities in the trading portfolio are taken to Profit or Loss through the
Income Statement.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on last sale price for all quoted investments. In previous years fair value was
determined based on current bid prices.
d.
Employee Benefits
(i) Wages, salaries and annual leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including annual leave, expected to be settled within 12 months of
balance date are recognised as current provisions in respect of employees’ services up to balance date
and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
In calculating the value of long service leave, consideration is given to expected future wage and salary
levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are
discounted using market yields at balance date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and
currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(iii) Share incentives
Share incentives are provided under the Short and Long Term Incentive Plans.
The Short Term Incentive Plan is settled in shares, but based on a cash amount. A provision for the amount
payable under the Short Term Incentive plan is recognised on the Balance Sheet.
For the Long Term Incentive Plan, the incentives are based on the performance of the Group over a
minimum three year period. The incentives are settled in shares (but based on a cash amount). Expenses
are recognised over the assessment period based on the amount expected to be payable under this plan,
resulting in a provision for incentive payable being built up on the balance sheet over the assessment period.
In the event that the executive does not complete the period of service, the cumulative expense is reversed.
e.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly
liquid investments with original maturities of 12 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are
shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
f.
Revenue
Sale of investments occurs when the control of the right to equity has passed to the buyer.
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to
the financial assets.
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
g.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment represents the costs of furniture and computer equipment and is depreciated over
its useful life, a period of between 3 and 5 years.
h.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount
of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables
and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
i.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting used by the chief
operating decision-maker. The Board has been identified as the chief operating decision-maker, as it is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
j.
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes
in presentation for the current financial year. Where a retrospective restatement of items in the statement
of financial position has occurred, presentation of the statement as at the beginning of the earliest
comparative period has been included.
k.
Rounding of Amounts
The parent has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts
in the financial report and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.
l.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Deferred Tax Balances
The preparation of this financial report requires the use of certain critical estimates based on historical
knowledge and best available current information. This requires the Directors and management to exercise
their judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and
assumptions of future events. In accordance with AASB 112: Income Taxes deferred tax liabilities have
been recognised for Capital Gains Tax on unrealised gains in the investment portfolio at the current tax
rate of 30%.
As the Group does not intend to dispose of the portfolio, this tax liability may not be crystallised at the
amount disclosed in Note 14. In addition, the tax liability that arises on disposal of those securities may
be impacted by changes in tax legislation relating to treatment of capital gains and the rate of taxation
applicable to such gains at the time of disposal.
Apart from this, there are no other key assumptions or sources of estimation uncertainty that have a risk
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities within the next
reporting period.

m. Australian Accounting Standards not yet effective
The Group has not applied any Australian Accounting Standards or UIG interpretations that have been issued
as at balance date but are not yet operative for the year ended 30 June 2015 (“the inoperative standards”). The
impact of the inoperative standards has been assessed and the impact has been identified as not being material.
The Group only intends to adopt inoperative standards at the date at which their adoption becomes mandatory.

The Parent does not have an authorised share capital and the ordinary shares on issue have no par value.
Holders of ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on a winding up of the parent entity in
proportion to the number of shares held.
At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each
shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.
(c) Capital Management
The Group’s objective in managing capital is to continue to provide shareholders with attractive investment
returns through access to a steady stream of fully-franked dividends and enhancement of capital invested,
with goals of paying an enhanced level of dividends and providing attractive total returns over the medium to
long term.
The Group recognises that its capital will fluctuate in accordance with market conditions and in order to maintain
or adjust the capital structure, may adjust the amount of dividends paid, issue new shares from time-to-time or
return capital to shareholders.
The Group’s capital consists of shareholders equity plus net debt. The movement in equity is shown in the
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. At 30 June 2015 net debt was $Nil (2014: $Nil).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
26. Management of Financial Risk
The risks associated with the holding of financial instruments such as investments, cash, bank bills and
borrowings include market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board has approved the policies and procedures
that have been established to manage these risks. The effectiveness of these policies and procedures is reviewed
by the Audit Committee.
a.
b.
Financial instruments’ terms, conditions and accounting policies
The Group’s accounting policies are included in note 1, while the terms and conditions of each class of
financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument, both recognised and unrecognised at the balance
date, are included under the appropriate note for that instrument.
Net fair values
The carrying amounts of financial instruments in the balance sheets approximate their net fair value
determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 1 to the accounts.
c.
Credit risk
The risk that a financial loss will occur because counterparty to a financial instrument fails to discharge an
obligation is known as credit risk.
The credit risk on the Group’s financial assets, excluding investments, is the carrying amount of those
assets. The Group’s principal credit risk exposures arise from the investment in liquid assets, such as cash
and bank bills, and income receivable.
The spread of cash and bank bills between banks is reviewed monthly by the Board to determine if it is
within agreed limits. Income receivable is comprised of accrued interest and dividends and distributions
which were brought to account on the date the shares or units traded ex-dividend.
There are no financial instruments overdue or considered to be impaired.
d. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the fair value of a financial instrument.
The Group is a long term investor in companies and trusts and is therefore exposed to market risk through
the movement of the share/unit prices of the companies and trusts in which it is invested.
The market value of the portfolio changes continuously because the market value of individual companies
within the portfolio fluctuates throughout the day. The change in the market value of the portfolio is
recognised through the Revaluation Reserve. Listed Investments represent 93% (2014: 93%) of total
assets.
As at 30 June 2015, a 5% movement in the market value of the BKI portfolio would result in:
- A 5% movement in the net assets of BKI before provision for tax on unrealised capital gains (2014: 5%);
and
- A movement of 7.7 cents per share in the net asset backing before provision for tax on unrealised
capital gains (2014: 7.7 cents).
The performance of the companies within the portfolio, both individually and as a whole, is monitored by the
Investment Committee and the Board.
BKI seeks to reduce market risk at the investment portfolio level by ensuring that it is not, in the opinion of the
Investment Committee, overly exposed to one Group or one sector of the market.

The relative weightings of the individual securities and relevant market sectors are reviewed at each meeting of
the Investment Committee and the Board, and risk can be managed by reducing exposure where necessary.
There are no set parameters as to a minimum or maximum amount of the portfolio that can be invested in a
single company or sector.
e.
f.
Interest Rate Risk
The Group is not materially exposed to interest rate risk as all its cash investments, excluding cash in
operating bank accounts, are short term (up to 1 year) for a fixed rate.
During the 2014FY the Group entered into a short term revolving facility (refer Note 24(ii)). Given the facility
was fixed rate in nature, any movement in market interest rates would not have affected the value of the
underlying financial liability nor would it have affected the Group’s operating result. This facility was closed
with no liability existing as at 30 June 2014.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Group is not exposed to foreign currency risk as all investments are quoted in Australian dollars. The
fair value of the Group’s other financial instruments is unlikely to be materially affected by a movement in
interest rates as they generally have short dated maturities and fixed interest rates.
41

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
g.
h.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet financial obligations as they fall due.
The Group has a zero level of gearing, and sufficient cash reserves to meet operating cash requirements
at current levels for more than 5 years.
The Group’s other major cash outflows are the purchase of securities and dividends paid to shareholders
and the level of both of these is fully controllable by the Board.
Furthermore, the majority of the assets of the Group are in the form of readily tradeable securities which
can be sold on-market if necessary.
Capital risk management
The Group invests its equity in a diversified portfolio of assets that aim to generate a growing income
stream for distribution to shareholders in the form of fully franked dividends.
The capital base is managed to ensure there are funds available for investment as opportunities arise.
Capital is increased annually through the issue of shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Other
means of increasing capital include Rights Issues, Share Placements and Share Purchase Plans.
