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  Portfolio 
Manager, Mr Will Culbert.

The Group also engages Corporate & Administrative Services Pty Ltd to provide accounting and group secretarial 
services. These services are overseen by the BKI Company Secretary, Mr Jaime Pinto.

2016 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITEDCHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to enclose the 13th Annual Report of BKI Investment Company Limited (BKI) for the year to 30 June 2016.

Result Highlights

BKI’s Net Operating Result before special investment revenue increased 1% to $41.2m, while the BKI Board has 
declared a Final Ordinary Dividend of 3.65cps, unchanged from the 2015 Final Dividend. BKI’s Full Year Dividend 
totalled 7.25cps, a 1% increase on last year.
BKI’s Net Operating Result of $41.2m was mainly driven by higher dividends received from Transurban Limited, 
APA Group, Sydney Airports, Macquarie Group, TPG Telecom and Ramsay Healthcare. Lower dividends received 
from BHP Billiton, Woolworths, Woodside Petroleum, ANZ Banking Group and Suncorp Group impacted the result, 
while revenues from bank deposits and investments held for trading were also lower than the corresponding period. 
The resulting basic earnings per share decreased 3.3% to 7.16cps on an increased share capital base. BKI also 
received special dividend income for the year from New Hope Corporation, Milton Corporation, Suncorp Group 
and  IAG  Group.  Total  special  dividend  income  received  was  $1.1m  compared  to  $2.1m  last  year,  generating 
basic earnings per share after special dividend income of 7.35cps (2015: 7.78cps).

Dividends 

The  Directors  have  declared  a  fully  franked  Final  Ordinary  Dividend  of  3.65cps,  in  line  with  the  prior  year 
corresponding period. BKI’s Total Full Year Dividend is 7.25cps, a 1% increase on last year. The full year dividend 
payment of 7.25cps represents a 99% pay-out ratio on BKI’s Net Operating Profit. BKI’s historical grossed up 
yield as at 30 June 2016 was 6.6%, based on the share price as at 30 June 2016 and a tax rate of 30%. BKI 
has ample franking credits to ensure dividends are fully franked into the future.
BKI’s  Dividend  Re-investment  plan  (DRP)  will  be  maintained,  offering  shareholders  the  opportunity  to  acquire 
further ordinary shares in BKI. The DRP will not be offered at a discount. The DRP price will be calculated using 
the average of the daily volume weighted average sale price of BKI’s shares sold in the ordinary course of trading 
on the ASX during the 5 trading days after, but not including, the Record Date (Monday 8 August 2016). The last 
day for shareholders to nominate for their participation in the DRP is Tuesday 9 August 2016.

2016 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED 
CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS (continued)

The Board and Management continue to focus on creating wealth for all shareholders by keeping costs low and 
increasing fully franked dividends and capital growth. BKI has been listed for 12.5 years and has been providing 
shareholders with an increasing income stream of fully franked dividends and capital growth throughout this time. 
As  can  be  seen  in  the  chart  below,  an  investor  who  spent  the  equivalent  of  $10,000  to  purchase  BKI  shares 
upon listing in December 2003 and had reinvested dividends would now be receiving fully franked dividends of 
$1,208pa. The franking credits enhance the income by a further $518 (based on current corporate tax rate of 
30%), taking total income received in FY2016 to $1,726. The same investment in a term deposit, based on the 
cash rate plus 0.50% would only be earning $441pa pre-tax and without benefit of franking credits.

Portfolio Movements

BKI’s  net  investment  over  FY2016  was  approximately  $76m,  with  major  long  term  investments  made  in 
companies  including;  Commonwealth  Bank,  ANZ  Banking  Group,  Westpac  Banking  Corporation,  National 
Australia Bank, Macquarie Group, Qube Logistics, Telstra Corporation, Ramsay Healthcare, Caltex Australia, APA 
Group and Sydney Airports. The main disposals from BKI’s investment portfolio included Bendigo and Adelaide 
Bank, Clydesdale Bank, RioTinto Limited and the partial sell-down of our position in BHP Billiton. 
During the year BKI completed the acquisition of all the issued capital of three unlisted investment companies 
with  net  assets  of  approximately  $32m.  The  private  companies  acquired  were  a  good  fit  with  BKI’s  existing 
portfolio.  An  investment  in  BKI  provides  the  vendors  with  administration  simplicity  as  well  as  access  to  a  low 
cost diversified equity portfolio, increasing fully franked dividend distributions and capital growth. This brings the 
number of transactions of this nature completed by BKI to four, which will benefit existing BKI shareholders by 
increasing  the  size  of  BKI’s  portfolio  in  a  cost-effective  manner.  The  BKI  Board  looks  forward  to  engaging  in 
similar transactions in the future.

Outlook

Twelve months ago, we said that we expected fiscal 2016 to be an interesting year for equity markets. While the 
broad market return was flat, there was significant volatility in equities. This has created a sense of uncertainty. 
Investor sentiment is downbeat and much of the news flow is focused on the negative. Slowing consumption 
and manufacturing growth rates in Asia continue to impact sentiment as does the uncertain political landscape 
in  many  major  economies.  The  Australian  Dollar  traded  sideways  in  fiscal  2016,  which  impacted  a  number  of 
our export facing industries. Many Australian resources companies continue to be challenged by the imbalance 
between supply and demand of commodities.
Last year we lamented that many Australian listed companies were focused on cost out strategies rather than growth 
initiatives. The benign Australian economy has seen that behaviour continue. The subdued investor sentiment is yet 
to translate into a broad based sell-off of the market. We do not necessarily expect one. There is little incentive for 
investors to transition into cash.  Australia’s historically low interest rate environment continues to drive investors 
to chase yield. Well managed companies offering quality and sustainable dividend yields continue to trade at lofty 
multiples. We remain cautious on those companies trading on high earnings multiples that will struggle to deliver 
sustainable growth. We also remain cautious on companies with unsustainable dividend payout ratios.  
While we recognise the challenges in the economy, we believe the BKI portfolio is well placed for the long-term. 
We  think  there  is  cause  for  optimism.  As  long-term  investors,  we  welcome  periods  of  volatility  where  we  can 
add to the holdings of those businesses that we deem to be superior. We continually look for businesses that 
are managed by capable executives, are appropriately geared, have a favourable outlook and are appropriately 
priced. A sustainable income stream remains a core tenet of our disciplined investment criteria. 
BKI remains in a strong financial position with no debt, and cash and cash equivalents representing approximately 
8% of the portfolio.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Millner
Chairman

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

BKI’s  Net  Operating  Result  before  special  investment  revenue  increased  1%  to  $41.2m  (2015:  $40.9m), 
supported  by  higher  dividends  received  from  Transurban  Limited,  APA  Group,  Sydney  Airports,  Macquarie 
Group,  TPG  Telecom  and  Ramsay  Healthcare.  Lower  dividends  received  from  BHP  Billiton,  Woolworths, 
Woodside  Petroleum,  ANZ  Banking  Group  and  Suncorp  Group  reduced  the  result,  while  revenues  from  bank 
deposits and investments held for trading were also lower than the previous year. The resulting basic earnings 
per share decreased 3.3% to 7.16cps on an increased share capital base.

BKI also received special dividend income for the year from New Hope Corporation, Milton Corporation, Suncorp 
Group  and  IAG  Group.  Total  special  dividend  income  received  was  $1.1m  compared  to  $2.1m  in  2015FY, 
resulting in a basic earnings per share after special dividend income of 7.35cps (2015: 7.78cps).

BKI’s Total Shareholder Return for the year to 30 June 2016 was negative 0.8%, compared to the S&P/ASX 300 
Accumulation Index which returned positive 0.9% over the same period. BKI’s 12 year Total Shareholder Return 
including the benefit of franking credits was 11.3% pa as at 30 June 2016. 

6. Review of Operations

Operating  expenses  decreased  $0.13m  to  $1.48m  (2015:  $1.61m).    This,  combined  with  an  increase  in  the 
average Total Portfolio Value during the year, lowered BKI’s MER to 0.16% (2015: 0.18%).

BKI’s  net  investment  over  FY2016  was  approximately  $76m,  with  major  long  term  investments  made  in 
companies  including;  Commonwealth  Bank,  ANZ  Banking  Group,  Westpac  Banking  Corporation,  National 
Australia Bank, Macquarie Group, Qube Logistics, Telstra Corporation, Ramsay Healthcare, Caltex Australia, APA 
Group and Sydney Airports. The main disposals from BKI’s investment portfolio included Bendigo and Adelaide 
Bank, Clydesdale Bank, RioTinto Limited and a partial disposal of BHP Billiton. 

During  the  year  BKI  completed  the  acquisition  of  three  unlisted  investment  companies  with  net  assets  of 
approximately $32m. The private companies acquired were a strong fit with BKI’s existing portfolio.  This brings 
the number of transactions of this nature completed by BKI to four, which benefit existing BKI shareholders by 
increasing the size of BKI’s portfolio in a cost-effective manner. 

7. Financial Position

Net  assets  of  the  Group  increased  during  the  financial  year  by  $26.7m  to  $880.0m.    Acquisitions  of  unlisted 
investment entities increased assets by a combined $32m during the year and the SPP in May 2016 increased 
funds  by  an  additional  $28.2m.  This  was  affected  by  a  net  decrease  of  $33.9m  in  the  market  value  of  the 
investment portfolio.

8. Employees

The Group has two employees as at 30 June 2016 (2015: two).

franked) was paid out of retained profits at 30 June 2015.

K   On 26 February 2016, an interim total dividend of $20,473,202 (ordinary dividend of 3.60 cents per share,

allowing for payment of the final, fully franked ordinary dividend.

13. Environmental Regulations

The Group’s operations are not materially affected by environmental regulations.

Officers to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act. 

During the year to 30 June 2016, the Group paid premiums in respect of an insurance contract to insure each of 
the officers against all liabilities and expenses arising as a result of work performed in their respective capacities. 
The  Directors  have  not  included  details  of  the  nature  of  liabilities  covered  or  the  amount  of  premium  paid  in

20. 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. 

14

2016 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITEDDIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

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.

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 Portfolio Manager, 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.  

15

2016 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITEDDIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

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.

For financial years up to and including the year ended 30 June 2016, the value of the Short Term Incentive for the 
CEO was calculated as 15% of CEO Base Remuneration. For future financial years, commencing 1 July 2016, 
the value of the Short Term Incentive for the CEO will be calculated as 20% of CEO Base Remuneration.

For financial years up to and including the year ended 30 June 2016, the value of the Short Term Incentive for 
the Portfolio Manager was calculated as 10% of Portfolio Manager Base Remuneration. For future financial years, 
commencing 1 July 2016, the value of the Short Term Incentive for the Portfolio Manager will be calculated as 
15% of Portfolio Manager Base Remuneration.

The Short Term Incentive for the Company Secretary is set at 40% of the CEO Incentive.

100% of the Short Term Incentive is based on the Total Portfolio Returns as follows:

The  Short  Term  Incentive  is  subject  to  discretionary  Board  adjustment  for  the  achievement  of  improved 
Management Expense Ratio and promotion of BKI.

The  vesting  criteria  for  the  2016  Financial  Year  Short  Term  Incentives  were  therefore  not  satisfied,  and  the 
Company  did  not  award  any  short  term  incentives  in  respect  of  2016  Financial  Year  Short  Term  incentives.  
However, as noted in the 2015 Annual Report, in July 2015 the Company purchased 51,577 shares in satisfaction 
of 2015 Financial Year Short Term Incentives.

2016 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  financial  years  up  to  and  including  the  year  ended  30  June  2016,  the  CEO’s  Long  Term  Incentive  was 
calculated on 25% of the Base Remuneration of the CEO.  For future financial years, commencing 1 July 2016, 
the Long Term Incentive for the CEO will be calculated as 30% of CEO Base Remuneration.

For  financial  years  up  to  and  including  the  year  ended  30  June  2016,  the  Portfolio  Manager’s  Long  Term 
Incentive was calculated on 15% of the Base Remuneration of the Portfolio Manager.  For future financial years, 
commencing 1 July 2016, the Long Term Incentive for the Portfolio Manager will be calculated as 20% of Portfolio 
Manager Base Remuneration.

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.

All outstanding incentives granted are to be awarded to the above executives 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.

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 the appropriate portion of these 
future costs in the 2016 financial year, and has included these costs in the disclosed remuneration of the CEO 
and Company Secretary.

During the 2016 Financial Year the following outstanding Long Term Incentives granted by the Company became 
eligible for vesting:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

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 22. 
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 21(i) to the financial statements. All controlled entities have 
a 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 2016

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  continuously.  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.

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 continuously.
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.

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, where the total long service leave liability becomes material, 
consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and 
periods of service. In such circumstances, expected future payments are discounted using market yields 
at balance date on long term corporate 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  four  year  period.  The  incentives  are  settled  in  shares.  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. 

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  and  distribution  revenue  is  recognised  when  the  right  to  receive  a  dividend  or  distribution  has 
been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

f. 

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.

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.  The Group 
operates solely in the securities industry in Australia and has no reportable 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 Corporations Instrument (Rounding in Financial 
/ Directors’ Reports) 2016/191 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 12.  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.

BKI measures the fair value of its trading portfolio and investment portfolio with reference to the following fair value 
measurement hierarchy mandated by accounting standards:

Level 1:  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2:   inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either 

directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

Level 3:  inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Both the trading portfolio and investment portfolio are classified as Level 1, and are measured in accordance with 
the policy outlined in Note 1.c.

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 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 2016 net debt was $Nil (2015: $Nil).

(d) Acquisition of controlled entities

During the 2016FY the Company acquired 100% of the shares of three unlisted investment companies (2015FY: 
No acquisitions were made).  The Company issued 20,006,472 new shares in BKI Investment Company Limited 
in  total  as  consideration  for  the  three  acquisitions,  having  a  combined  fair  value  of  $32M.  These  acquisitions 
benefit BKI shareholders by increasing the size of BKI’s portfolio in a cost-effective manner, and at the same time 
reducing the per share cost of managing the portfolio.

The acquisitions resulted in BKI achieving a discount on acquisition, which is not allocated against assets of the 
companies purchased because only financial assets were purchased.  The discount has therefore been included 
in “Discount on acquisition of controlled entities, net of expenses” in the “Consolidated Income Statement”.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

18. 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. 
Cash and bank bills are reviewed monthly by the Board to ensure cash is only placed with pre-approved 
financial institutions with low risk profiles (primarily “Big 4” banks) and that the spread of cash and bank bills 
between banks 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  91%  (2015:  93%)  of  total 
assets. 
As at 30 June 2016, 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 (2015: 5%); 

and

-  A  movement  of  7.1  cents  per  share  in  the  net  asset  backing  before  provision  for  tax  on  unrealised 

capital gains (2015: 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. 

Interest Rate Risk
The Group is not materially exposed to interest rate risk. All cash investments are short term (up to 1 year) 
for a fixed rate, except for cash in operating bank accounts which are at-call and attract variable rates.
The Group has no financial liability as at 30 June 2016 (2015: Nil).

18. Management of Financial Risk (continued)

f. 

g. 

h. 

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.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet financial obligations as they fall due. 
The Group has no borrowings, and sufficient cash reserves to fund core operations at current levels for 
more than 10 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.
