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 commencing 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’s investment strategy focuses on investing in well managed companies, with a profitable history and that offer attractive dividend yields. The strategy, implemented by Contact Asset Management, incorporates bottom up stock selection, focusing on the merits of individual companies rather than market and economic trends. Dividend Policy Having 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 From 1 November 2016 the portfolio management and advisory function of BKI was externalised to Contact Asset Management Pty Ltd (“Contact”). Contact is majority owned by Mr Tom Millner and Mr Will Culbert, the former CEO and Portfolio Manager respectively of BKI, with the remaining 20% owned by Washington H Soul Pattinson and Company Limited. The BKI Board of Directors and Investment Committee have continued to perform their current functions, and in particular, continue to meet regularly to review the portfolio and set the investment strategy of BKI. Incorporating the investment management services of Contact, BKI will ensure it maintains the disciplined adherence to its long standing and successful investment philosophy. 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. 5 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS Dear Shareholders, I am pleased to enclose the 14th Annual Report of BKI Investment Company Limited (BKI) for the year to 30 June 2017. Result Highlights BKI’s Net Operating Result before special investment revenue increased from $41.2m to $41.8m, while the Net Profit Attributable to Shareholders increased 8% to $45.6m. The BKI Board has declared a Final Dividend of 3.70cps, up from the 3.65cps Final Dividend paid last year. This dividend will be fully franked, like all previous BKI dividends paid to shareholders. BKI’s Retained Profits as at 30 June 2017 totalled $47.4m prior to the declaration of this dividend. BKI’s Net Operating Result of $41.8m 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. BKI received $3.9m in special dividend income from participating in the Telstra Corporation off market buy back. This compares to $1.1m of special dividends received last year. Dividends A fully franked Final Ordinary Dividend of 3.70cps was declared, bringing the total 2017FY dividend to 7.30cps, representing a 96% pay-out ratio on BKI’s Net Profit. As at 30 June 2017, BKI’s fully franked dividend yield was 4.5% (based on the immediate past 12 Month rolling dividend and share price of $1.62), while the grossed up yield was 6.4% (assumes a tax rate of 30%). BKI has been listed since December 2003, and during this time, the Company has paid a total of $465m or 85.1cps in dividends to BKI shareholders, including five fully franked Special Dividends passed on to shareholders. 1.00 5.00 5.30 6.00 6.00 1.00 5.25 0.50 6.65 1.00 6.00 6.40 6.95 7.20 7.25 7.30 8.0 7.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 4.30 2.00 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Ordinary Dividends Special Dividends Above: Fully franked Interim and Final dividends declared (cents per share) The last trading date to be eligible for the Final Dividend is Thursday 3 August 2017.

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 7 August 2017). Externalised Management On 26 September 2016 BKI announced that the management of its investment portfolio would be externalised from 1 November 2016. The portfolio management and advisory function has been assumed by Contact Asset Management Pty Ltd (“Contact”), a new investment management company majority owned by Mr Tom Millner and Mr Will Culbert, the former CEO and Portfolio Manager respectively of BKI. Mr Millner and Mr Culbert each own 40% of Contact, with the remaining 20% owned by Washington H Soul Pattinson and Company Limited. The BKI Board of Directors and Investment Committee has continued to perform their functions, and in particular, have continued to meet regularly to review the portfolio and set the investment strategy of BKI. Along with the investment management services of Contact we have ensured that our disciplined adherence to BKI’s long standing and successful investment philosophy has been maintained. We have ensured continued alignment of the Management team through a long-term, Investment Management Agreement (“IMA”) and through the existing BKI shares already held by the principals of Contact. The IMA was negotiated on behalf of BKI by an Independent Board Committee comprising David Hall, Alex Payne and Ian Huntley. The key terms of the IMA can be found on the BKI website www.bkilimited.com.au We have preserved BKI’s low MER by locking in a long term Management Fee of only 0.10% with no Performance Fee charged to BKI shareholders.

The portfolios acquired were a strong fit with BKI’s existing portfolio. An investment in BKI will now provide the vendors with administration simplicity as well as access to a low cost diversified equity portfolio, increasing fully franked dividend distributions and capital growth. Share Purchase Plan BKI announced on 22 June 2017 that it had raised $21.2m under its 2017 Share Purchase Plan (SPP). BKI Shareholders were given the opportunity to purchase shares up to a maximum value of $15,000 at $1.58 per share. The offer was once again attractive for shareholders giving them the opportunity to purchase new shares without paying brokerage plus being eligible for the 3.70cps final dividend declared today by the Company in respect of the 2017 financial year. Outlook The S&P/ASX 300 Index generated very strong returns in FY2017. These returns have been driven by Australian investors continuing their search for yield, investing in sectors like Diversified Financials and the Banks, returning 28% and 22% respectively over the year. The official cash rate has been 1.50% for 11 months now and provided there is no change to jobs growth or consumer spending, we believe that Australia’s historically low interest rate environment will continue into FY2018. This situation will continue to encourage investors into equity markets and in particular into stocks that are offering attractive and sustainable dividend yields. The BKI portfolio is well placed for the long-term and remains in a strong financial position with no debt, and cash and cash equivalents representing approximately 5% of the portfolio.

BKI’s 13 year Total Shareholder Return including franking credits was 11.2% per annum as at 30 June 2017, compared to the S&P/ ASX 300 Accumulation Index which returned 10.1% per annum over the same period. BKI’s Net Portfolio Return (after all operating expenses, provision and payment of both income and capital gains tax and the reinvestment of dividends) for the year to 30 June 2017 was positive 9.1%. 6. Review of Operations Operating expenses of $1.51m were in line with the previous year (2016: $1.48m). This, combined with an increase in the average Total Portfolio Value during the year, lowered BKI’s MER to 0.15% (2016: 0.16%). BKI’s net investment during FY2017 was approximately $54m, with major long term investments made in companies including; Flight Centre, Sydney Airport, Telstra Corporation, Sonic Healthcare, Challenger Limited, Lend Lease, IOOF Group, Macquarie Group, Transurban Group and TPG Telecom. The main disposals from BKI’s investment portfolio included Fairfax Media, Crown Resorts, Programmed Maintenance and Salmat Limited. BKI also disposed of half of the BHP Billiton position and participated in the off market buy back by Telstra Corporation. During the year BKI completed the acquisition of one unlisted investment company with net assets of $4.2m. The portfolio acquired was a strong fit with BKI’s existing portfolio. BKI has now completed five transactions of this nature, 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 to $940m (2016: $880.0m). The acquisition of one unlisted investment entity increased assets by $4.2m during the year, the SPP in June 2017 increased funds by an additional $21.2m, and the market value of the investment portfolio increased $37m. 8. Employees The Group had no employees as at 30 June 2017 (2016: two). 9.

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. During the year the Company externalised its investment management function to Contact Asset Management Pty Limited. As part of this process the employment of the CEO, Mr Thomas Millner and the Portfolio Manager, Mr William Culbert, terminated effective 31 October 2016. During the period to 31 October 2016 Mr Thomas Millner was classified as Key Management Personnel and Mr William Culbert was classified as an Other Key Executive. Mr Jaime Pinto, the Company Secretary, is classified as Key Management Personnel. Remuneration Policy The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements, including performance incentives, for the Directors themselves and the Company Secretary, and previously for the Chief Executive Officer and the Portfolio Manager. 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. 15 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) 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 previously established the BKI Incentive Scheme to form part of the remuneration packages of the Group’s executive team. 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. As at 1 July 2016, the participants in the BKI Incentive Scheme were Mr Thomas Millner, the CEO, Mr William Culbert, the Portfolio Manager, and Mr Jaime Pinto, the Company Secretary. The employment of Mr Thomas Millner and Mr William Culbert was terminated effective 31 October 2016. In accordance with their Deeds of Termination, all unvested incentives previously allocated to Mr Millner and Mr Culbert under the BKI Incentive Scheme were forfeited. Therefore, at the date of this report the only participant in the BKI Incentive Scheme is Mr Jaime Pinto. To achieve the objectives of BKI, the Incentive Scheme is required to include several components with separate measurement criteria. 16 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY 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 the 2017FY the value of the Short Term Incentive for the CEO was calculated as 20% of CEO Base Remuneration, the value of the Short Term Incentive for the Portfolio Manager was calculated as 15% of Portfolio Manager Base Remuneration, and the Short Term Incentive for the Company Secretary was set at 40% of the CEO Incentive. The CEO and Portfolio manager subsequently forfeited their entitlement to the 2017FY Short Term Incentive. 100% of the Short Term Incentive is 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 2% Plus 3% Plus 4% Plus 5% or more 0% 100% 110% 120% 130% 140% 150% 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 2017 against the Short Term Incentive measurement criteria: 1 Year BKI Total Portfolio Return S&P/ASX 300 Acc Index over 1 Year Over / (Under) Performance % Entitlement to Eligible Bonus 9.1% 13.8% (4.7%) Nil The vesting criteria for the 2017 Financial Year Short Term Incentives were therefore not satisfied, and the Company did not award any short term incentives in respect of 2017 Financial Year Short Term incentives. 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 year ended 30 June 2017, the CEO’s Long Term Incentive was calculated on 30% of the Base Remuneration of the CEO, the Portfolio Manager’s Long Term Incentive was calculated as 20% of Portfolio Manager Base Remuneration, and the Company Secretary’s Long Term Incentive was set at 40% of the CEO Long Term Incentive and subject to the same vesting conditions. The CEO and Portfolio Manager subsequently forfeited their entitlement to the 2017FY Long Term Incentive, and to all unvested Long Term Incentives issued in respect of previous years. 17 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) All outstanding Long Term Incentives granted are to be awarded to participants 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. The Company has accrued as an expense the appropriate portion of these future costs in the 2017 financial year. The Company reversed prior year accruals previously recognised in respect of unvested Long Term Incentives of the CEO and Portfolio Manager, creating a negative expense in the 2017 financial year. These positive and negative expenses have been included in the disclosed remuneration of the CEO and Company Secretary. During the 2017 Financial Year the following outstanding Long Term Incentives granted by the Company became eligible for vesting: Incentive Issue Issue Number of Value of rights date granted initial grant Initial vesting date Expiry date Number Number of of rights vested rights yet to vest/ lapse J Pinto 2014 01/07/2013 21,998 $30,600 30/06/2017 30/06/2018 21,998 - The table below summarises the performance for the relevant four year period against the Long Term Incentive measurement criteria: Period 4 year BKI total shareholder return S&P/ASX 300 Over/ (Under) accumulation performance % Entitlement to eligible bonus index over 4 years 1/07/2013 to 30/06/2017 7.9% 9.2% (1.3)% nil Based on the above performance the vesting criteria for Long Term Incentives issued on 1 July 2013 were not satisfied. In accordance with the terms of the Long Term Incentive Scheme, these incentives will be retested as at 30 June 2018. No outstanding Long Term Incentives granted by the Company became eligible for vesting between 1 July 2017 and the date of this report.

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. 26 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 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. 27 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 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 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. 28 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 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. 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. 29 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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 2017 (“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. 2.

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 2017 net debt was $Nil (2016: $Nil). 36 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 13. Share capital (continued) (d) Acquisition of controlled entities During the 2017FY the Company acquired 100% of the shares of one unlisted investment company (2016FY: three acquisitions were made). The acquisition benefits 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 Company issued 2,588,696 new shares in BKI Investment Company Limited as consideration for the acquisition in 2017FY, having a fair value of $4M. The acquisition resulted in BKI achieving a discount on acquisition, which is not allocated against the assets of the company 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”. 14.

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 94% (2016: 91%) of total assets. As at 30 June 2017, 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 (2016: 5%); and - A movement of 7.7 cents per share in the net asset backing before provision for tax on unrealised capital gains (2016: 7.1 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. 39 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 18. Management of Financial Risk (continued) d.

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 2017 (2016: Nil). 40 2017 Annual ReportBKI INVESTMENTCOMPANY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017 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. 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.
