CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Message from 
the Chairman

Over the coming year, I look 
forward to CSG achieving a 
number of growth targets 
including growing EBITDA 
organically by between  
16 to 25 per cent.

In September 2012, we returned $56.5 million as a 20 cents per 
share fully franked dividend. In April 2013 we distributed a further 
$25.0 million, or 9 cents per share, as a capital return. We also 
undertook a buy back of 4.4 million shares at a cost of $2.1 million.

Subject to Australian Tax Office approval and shareholder 
approval, we intend to return a further 4 cents per share in 
December 2013. 

The Board’s objective is to distribute $25 million, or 9 cents per 
share, per annum over the medium term.

Retaining and motivating the right people is key to executing on our 
business strategy. One of the most exciting initiatives in this regard 
has been commencement of a significant long term incentive plan 
for executives and a staff share plan for the vast majority of CSG 
staff in Australia and New Zealand. I strongly believe in the benefits 
of aligning management and employees with shareholders’ 
interests, and that the best way to achieve this is through share 
ownership. I look forward to the years ahead where, if CSG delivers 
the shareholder return thresholds, executives have the potential 
to own approximately 5 per cent of the Company.

Over the coming year, I look forward to CSG achieving a number 
of growth targets including growing EBITDA organically by 
between 16 to 25 per cent.

I would like to commend Managing Director, Julie-Ann Kerin and 
her management team for their efforts in leading the turnaround 
in the business. While there is still much work to do, the team has 
executed on the initial stages of their plan admirably. 

Yours sincerely

Tom Cowan

Tom Cowan

CSG’s management 
and staff have 
performed 
exceptionally well  
over the year, often 
in times of pressure 
to achieve growth 
and reduce costs.

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

It is with pleasure that I present CSG’s Annual Report for 2013. 

Over the course of the year, CSG has delivered a significant 
turnaround in business performance. What is even more exciting 
is that the executive team have also managed during the period 
to position the business for strong growth over the medium term. 
Initiatives which will drive this growth include the development 
of the Australian Finance business, a new vision for the Business 
Solutions division and some significant contract wins in 
Enterprise Solutions.

Throughout the 2013 financial year, CSG also returned a 
significant amount of capital to shareholders.

Managing 
Director’s 
Report

Julie-Ann Kerin

Dear Shareholders,
The past year has been a significant year in the history of the Company. Following the  
sale of our Technology Solutions business to NEC last year we embarked on a program  
to ensure that the business had a solid platform from which to grow into the future.  
This resulted in some significant cost reductions and restructuring of the business  
along with the establishment of an Executive Management Team to provide the  
leadership we require to move forward and capitalise on the opportunities we see  
for growth and improved productivity.

In December we launched our new brand with our new  
promise to our customers, shareholders and staff to deliver 
“More than you expect”.

We launched our vision statement:

“To become the first choice brand in every market segment we 
operate. We will create sustainable value through innovative 
products and services, which will be delivered with unrivalled 
customer care and passion.”

At the start of this financial year, CSG set itself some key goals  
to achieve.

Financial Achievements

For the full year, our underlying EBITDA was $23.2 million which 
represented a 76 per cent growth on the previous corresponding 
period. As a direct result of cost saving initiatives, our underlying 
EBITDA margins expanded from 6.5 per cent to 12.6 per cent. 

The second half of the year also saw growth in equipment sales, 
with an increase in equipment revenue of 18 per cent. 

In addition, CSG Finance Solutions exceeded expectations with  
a book growth of 16 per cent to a total of $115.5 million.

At the start of the year, CSG had set an ambitious target of 
achieving an annualised cost saving of $13 million through 
improved efficiencies and restructuring. This goal has been 
met. We have consolidated the businesses, and commenced 
actitivites to create greater operating efficiencies across the 
business. Progress has been made on a further annualised cost 
saving of $4 million through opportunities to reduce duplication 
in back office systems and other efficiencies.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Managing 
Director’s 
Report

The launch of our new brand coupled 
with the planned introduction of a new 
self-service environment provides 
CSG with the differentiator of achieving 
our vision of becoming the first 
choice brand for our customers.

Innovation and Growth Achievements

People Goals

No successful company thrives without a healthy culture.  
To achieve this critical goal, CSG has established a new  
Executive Management Team and implemented one of the most 
generous share schemes for Executives and staff of any publicly 
listed company in Australia. 

Over the coming year we will continue with the reorganisation 
of the Company to further reduce costs and improve customer 
satisfaction.

Conclusion

Without a doubt, this has been an extremely busy year for CSG. 

Our business transformation plan, whilst ambitious, will give us 
the platform for further growth and efficiencies.

None of these achievements would have been possible without 
the support of the Board or the hard work and dedication of our 
CSG staff. I would like to thank our customers for their continued 
support, our Board and our staff for their continued commitment 
to the success of the business.

Yours sincerely

Julie-Ann Kerin

In line with our motto of being a company that delivers ’More than 
You Expect’, CSG has driven innovation through the Company 
which has established a platform for future growth.

We launched a new customer portal, in a trial to select customers. 
This new offering is the first step in achieving our goal to extend 
our billing relationship with our customers. Through the portal, 
CSG customers can not only log service calls, download their bills 
and perform their regular contact with CSG in a secure, online 
environment, but they can also order new and value added 
products such as stationery and office supplies and recycling 
services. Over the coming year, we expect this to be rolled out 
to a significant proportion of our customer base in Australia and 
New Zealand.

On 15 March 2013, we launched CSG Finance Solutions,  
providing a further opportunity to re-engage with our customers. 
Based on CSG’s established business in New Zealand, CSG 
Finance Solutions provides a credit facility for our customers to 
lease printers and multi-function devices. We saw a rapid uptake 
of this new offering by Australian customers with a $15.1 million  
book achieved by the end of June 2013. 

Over the course of the year we also grew the pipeline for our  
new division of Enterprise Solutions. This provides managed  
print services and positions CSG to leverage from the Standing 
Offer Arrangement we have with the Queensland Department  
of Education, Training and Employment. The appointment of a 
new Senior Executive to head the division is an important step  
to position the division for growth in future years.

Customer Achievements

The launch of our new brand coupled with the planned 
introduction of a new self-service environment provides CSG  
with the differentiator of achieving our vision of becoming the  
first choice brand for our customers.

We have also improved our service management system and 
have set ourselves the goal of improving customer retention  
over the coming year.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of CSG Limited (‘Company’) is committed to protecting shareholders’ interests 
and keeping investors fully informed about the performance of the Company’s businesses. 
The Directors have undertaken to perform their duties with honesty, integrity, care and 
diligence, according to the law and in a manner that reflects high standards of governance. 
The Directors have established the following processes to protect the interests and 
assets of shareholders and to ensure high standards of integrity and governance. 

The Board has adopted a formal:

•	 Board Charter

•	 Audit Committee Charter

•	 Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter

•	 Code of Conduct for Directors and Officers

Further, the Board has also adopted policies with respect to:

•	 Independence and Conflicts of Interest

•	 Risk Management

•	 Board Performance Evaluation

•	 CEO Performance Evaluation

•	 Continuous Disclosure and External Communications

•	 Securities Trading

•	 Remuneration

•	 Diversity

Copies of these charters and policies are available to 
shareholders on request.

This corporate governance statement outlines the Company’s 
practices for the year-ended 30 June 2013 and as at the date 
of this Report. It is referenced against the revised Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations issued by the  
ASX Corporate Governance Council. 

Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The Directors of the Company are accountable to shareholders 
for the proper management of business and affairs of the 
Company. The Board fulfils these obligations by delegating 
certain business development responsibilities to the Managing 
Director, but retains the following responsibilities as set out in  
the Board Charter:

•	 agreeing with the Managing Director the annual cycle 

and process for review of strategic plans, including which 
stakeholders are to be involved and how

•	 ensuring that the whole Board is directly involved in the  

strategic planning and review processes

•	 ensuring that strategy development includes proper 

consideration by the Board and management of associated 
risks and opportunities

•	 ensuring that all approved strategic plans include clear and 

measurable financial and other objectives

•	 requiring that business plans and budgets are prepared and 
provided to the Board to support the agreed strategic plans

•	 monitoring and reviewing the performance of the Company 

against the agreed strategic plans and goals

•	 monitoring the Executive Management Team’s performance

The Board is responsible for the development of appropriate 
internal controls to monitor and supervise the implementation 
of agreed strategies and policies and the financial and other 
performance of the Company against approved strategies, 
budgets, and delegations. 

The Board delegates responsibility for day-to-day management 
of the Company to the Managing Director. The Company has 
adopted a Delegated Authorities Manual which establishes 
delegations and approval levels throughout the business. The 
Managing Director is responsible for executing the delegations 
contained in the manual but must consult the Board on matters 
that are sensitive, extraordinary or of a strategic nature.

The Board has adopted a Remuneration Policy to govern the 
process for evaluating the employees of the Company, including 
the performance of the Executive Management Team. For 
the 2013 financial year, the Board measured the Executive 
Management Team against the performance objectives set  
out in the Remuneration Report on page 23.

Structure the Board to add value

Composition of the Board

At the end of the 2013 financial year, the Board comprised of 
four Directors, two of whom are Non-Executive and independent 
Directors as defined by the Corporate Governance Principles 
and Recommendations. The Managing Director is an Executive 
Director. The skills, experience and appointment date of each 
Director is set out on pages 12 and 13 of this Report.

Whilst the number of independent Directors on the Board does 
not constitute a majority, the number of independent Non-
Executive Directors does constitute 50 per cent of the Board  
and all Directors bring an independent judgment to bear on Board 
decisions. The Directors are considering the most appropriate 
composition of the Board given the current nature and scale 
of the Company’s residual businesses following the sale of 
the Technology Solutions business in July 2012. The Board has 
commenced a search process for a further Non-Executive 
Director during the 2014 financial year.

All Directors (except the Managing Director) are subject to 
retirement by rotation but may stand for re election by the 
shareholders every three years. The term of the Managing 
Director’s appointment is governed by her terms of engagement.

The composition of the Board is determined by the Board and, 
where appropriate, external advice is sought. The Board are 
cognizant of the following principles and guidelines in determining 
the composition of the Board:

The Majority of the Board should be Independent Directors

Based on the Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations, to be independent, a Director should be  
Non Executive and:

8 

•	 not be a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer  

of or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a 
substantial shareholder of the Company

•	 not have, within the last three years, been employed in an 

executive capacity by the Company or another company within 
the group, or been a Director after ceasing to hold any such 
employment

•	 not be a principal or employee of a professional advisor or 

consultant to a company in the group whose annual billings to 
the group represent more than 5 per cent of the advisor’s or 
consultant’s total annual billings or greater than 5 per cent of the 
Company’s annual (before tax) profit

•	 not be a supplier or customer whose annual revenues from the 
group represent more than 5 per cent of the Company’s annual 
(before tax) profit or more than 5 per cent of the supplier’s or 
customer’s total annual revenue

•	 not have a material contractual relationship with the Company 

or another group company other than as a Director

•	 be free from any interest and any business or other relationship, 
which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially 
interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests  
of the Company

•	 not have served on the Board for a period which could, or 

could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the 
Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company

Mr Ian Kew and Mr Philip Bullock are considered by the Board to 
be independent.

The Chairman, Mr Tom Cowan, is a Non-Executive Director but 
is not independent due his shareholding in the Company being 
categorised as substantial. However, the Board considers that the 
Chairman is independent from management and the business 
operations and acts in the best interests of the Company. 

All Directors are expected to bring independent views and 
judgement to all Board discussions and decision-making.

Independent Professional Advice

A procedure has been determined for each Director to have the 
right to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s 
expense, subject to the prior approval of the Chairman.

Director Selection

As far as practicable, the Board should comprise people 
who bring robust and independent judgement to the Board. 
When a vacancy exists through whatever cause, or where it 
is considered that the Board would benefit from the services 
of a new Director with particular skills, the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee are to nominate candidates for the 
Board’s consideration for Board membership. The Board looks 
to ensure that an appropriate balance of skills, experience and 
expertise is achieved. A selection procedure is then completed, 
which includes a review of the candidates’ independence.  
The Board appoints the most suitable candidate who, in 
accordance with clause 13.10 of the Company’s constitution, 
must retire but may stand for re election at the next annual 
general meeting of shareholders.

Review of Board Performance

The Board has adopted a policy in relation to Board Performance 
Evaluation. Due to the Board focusing on the Company’s 
consolidation and growth phase after the sale of the Technology 
Solutions division in July 2012, the Board did not carry out a 

performance evaluation in the last financial year. It is intended 
that an evaluation will be carried in the 2014 financial year.

A standing item is included on the agenda at the end of each 
Board meeting to encourage Directors to provide regular 
feedback on the conduct of Board meetings or any other  
Board business to assist in the continual improvement of  
Board processes. 

Board Committees

The Board has established an Audit Committee and a 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee which operate 
under formal Charters that clearly set out each Committees’ 
roles, responsibilities, composition, structure, membership 
requirements and the procedures for inviting non-Committee 
members to attend meetings. The Board has not established 
a separate risk management committee, as the Board has 
determined that these matters are appropriately addressed by 
the Audit Committee or the full Board.

The names of the members of each Committee and their 
attendance at Committee meetings is set out on page 13  
of this Report.

Promote ethical and responsible decision making

Code of Conduct

The Company has developed a Code of Conduct to guide the 
Company’s Directors, Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer 
and other senior executives in respect of ethical behaviour. 
This Code of Conduct is designed to maintain confidence in the 
Company’s integrity and the responsibility and accountability 
of all individuals within the Company for reporting unlawful and 
unethical practices.

The Code of Conduct embraces such areas as:

•	 Conflicts of interest

•	 Use of information or position

•	 Use of Company property

•	 Confidentiality

•	 Fair trading

•	 Compliance with the law

•	 Whistle blowing

•	 Political contributions and activities

Share Trading Policy

The Company has adopted a formal Securities Trading Policy, 
which applies to Directors, the Company Secretary, all senior 
executives and key management personnel and employees  
of the Company and their associates (‘Officers’). 

The Officers may not deal in any of the Company’s security  
at any time if they have inside information.

 An Officer may trade in securities:

•	 in the six (6) week period after the release to the ASX of the  

half-yearly and annual results

•	 in the four (4) week period after the end of the AGM or after  

the release of a section 708A Cleansing Notice

•	 at any time the Company has a prospectus open

but only if they have no inside information and the trading is  
not for short term or speculative gain. 

9

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Corporate Governance Statement (Continued)

An Officer may trade in securities at other times only if:

•	 they are personally satisfied that they are not in possession  

of inside information

•	 with respect to Directors, Company Secretary, senior 

executives and key management personnel, have obtained the 
approval of the Chairman or in the case of any proposed trade 
by the Chairman, of another Non Executive Director nominated 
by the Board for the purpose

•	 in the case of all others, they have obtained the approval of the 

Company Secretary

Directors and all senior executives and key management 
personnel must advise the Company Secretary in writing of 
the details of completed transactions within 2 business days 
following each transaction. Such notification is necessary 
whether or not prior authority has been required. The Secretary 
must maintain a register of securities transactions. The 
Company must comply with its obligations to notify ASX in 
writing of any changes in the holdings of securities or interest in 
securities by Directors.

Diversity Policy

The Company has adopted a Diversity Policy which, consistent 
with its organisational values and strategic goals, focuses upon 
gender, ethnicity/culture, disability and flexibility as key levers 
linked to building a high performing and sustainable organisation. 
Key principles include:

•	 facilitating equal employment opportunities based on relative 

ability, performance and potential

•	 building and maintaining a safe work environment by taking 

action against inappropriate workplace and business behaviour 
including harassment, bullying, victimisation and vilification

•	 develop flexible work practices to meet the differing needs 
of our employees at different stages of their life cycle in the 
context of business requirements

•	 attracting and retaining a skilled and diverse workforce as an 

employer of choice

•	 making a contribution to the economic, social and educational 

well-being of the communities we serve

•	 creating an inclusive workplace culture

The Diversity Policy is implemented by the Executive 
Management Team under the direction of the Managing Director. 
Achievement of the objectives under the policy are measured  
by implementation of the following key benchmarks each of 
which are reviewed annually as a minimum, or upon presentation 
of results:

1.   Percentage of senior management women to exceed  

30 per cent;

2.   Percentage of women across the company to exceed  

25 per cent; and

3.   Conduct a diversity audit by 31 March each year.

During the 2013 financial year, gender diversity within the 
Company was:

(3) members

•	 has a majority of independent Directors

•	 is chaired by an independent chair, who is not the Chairman

Make timely and balanced disclosure

The Board recognises that the Company, as a publicly listed 
entity, will have an obligation to make timely and balanced 
disclosure in accordance with the requirements of the ASX  
Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001. The Board also  
is of the view that an appropriately informed shareholder base, 
and market in general, is essential to an efficient market for the 
Company’s securities. The Board is committed to ensuring 
that shareholders and the market have timely and balanced 
disclosure of matters concerning the Company. 

The Company has adopted a formal Continuous Disclosure  
and External Communications Policy to ensure compliance  
with its continuous disclosure requirements and to allow the 
market to be appropriately informed of the Company’s strategy 
and performance. 

10 

Amongst other matters, this Policy requires the immediate 
notification to ASX of information concerning the Company that 
a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on 
the price or value of the Company’s securities as prescribed 
under ASX Listing Rule 3.1, except where such information is 
not required to be disclosed in accordance with the exception 
provisions of the Listing Rules.

A copy of the Policy can be found at www.csg.com.au.

Respect the rights of shareholders

Communication Strategy

The Board recognises that the shareholders are the beneficial 
owners of the Company and respects their rights and will 
continually seek ways to assist shareholders in the exercise of 
those rights.

The Board also recognises that as owners of the Company, the 
shareholders may best contribute to the Company’s growth, 
value and prosperity if they are informed. To this end, and as set 
out in the Continuous Disclosure and External Communications 
Policy, the Board seeks to empower shareholders by:

•	 communicating effectively with shareholders through  

periodic disclosure and market briefings

•	 enabling shareholders access to balanced and  

understandable information about the Company,  
its operations and proposals

All information released to the ASX is made available on the 
Company’s website.

Participation in Meetings

The Board is committed to assisting shareholders participation 
in meetings. In particular, the Company will request that a 
representative of the Company’s external auditor is present at  
all Annual General Meetings and that shareholders have 
adequate opportunity to ask questions of the auditor at that 
meeting concerning the audit and preparation and content of  
the auditor’s report.

Recognise and manage risk

The Board carries overall responsibility to all stakeholders for the 
identification, assessment, management and monitoring of the 
risks faced by the Company. 

The Company has adopted a formal Risk Management Policy, 
which is available to shareholders on its website. This Policy 
aims to ensure that the Board implements appropriate risk 
management policies and procedures in order to protect the 
assets and undertaking of the Company. 

Following the Company’s consolidation phase after the sale of 
the Technology Solutions division, the Board and Management 
are progressing with the development of a Risk and Reporting 
Framework suitable to the residual CSG businesses. 

In accordance with s.295A of the Corporations Act 2001, 
the Board requires that the Managing Director and the Chief 
Financial Officer state in writing that the Company’s financial 
reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the 
Company’s financial condition and operating results and are in 

accordance with relevant accounting standards. The Board has 
received that assurance.

Further, and under the Company’s Risk Management Policy, the 
Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer must provide 
written confirmation to the Board that all assurances given by 
management in respect of the integrity of financial statements 
are founded on sound systems of risk management and internal 
compliance and control which implement the policies adopted 
by the Board.

Remunerate fairly and responsibly

The Board’s primary remuneration objectives are to motivate 
Directors and management to pursue the long-term growth and 
success of the Company within an appropriate control framework 
and to demonstrate a clear relationship between key executive 
performance and remuneration. The Board believes that it is in 
the interest of all stakeholders in the Company for there to be in 
place a Remuneration Policy that attracts and retains talented 
and motivated Directors, managers and employees so as to 
encourage enhanced performance of the Company.

As noted previously, the Board has established a Nomination  
and Remuneration Committee that: 

•	 consists of a majority of independent Directors

•	 is chaired by an independent chair

•	 has three (3) members

Please refer to page 13 of this Report for membership  
and attendance details.

The Committee is responsible for the following, amongst  
other matters:

•	 reviewing and approving the appropriate remuneration  
of Directors, the Managing Director and the Executive 
Management Team of the Company

•	 ensuring that remuneration levels take into account risks 
involved, demands and time requirements of each role,  
and relevant industry and related benchmarks

•	 developing and recommending to the Board remuneration 
incentive programs such as bonus schemes and Company 
share schemes

•	 developing, maintaining and monitoring appropriate 

remuneration policies and procedures

•	 ensuring that the structure of Non Executive and Executive 

Directors’ remuneration is clearly distinguished

•	 ensuring that equity-based executive remuneration is paid  
in accordance with thresholds set in plans, as disclosed to,  
or approved by shareholders

•	 reviewing and approving appropriate disclosures to be included 
in the Company’s annual report regarding the Committee, its 
activities and performance

The Board has recently adopted a new Remuneration Policy to 
govern remuneration paid to employees and senior executives, 
including Non-Executive Directors.

Please refer to the Remuneration Report set out on pages 21 to 30 
of this Report for details of remuneration for all Directors and key 
management personnel.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Directors’ Report (Continued)

4  Principal Activities

The principal activities of the CSG Group during the  
financial year were print related sales and service and  
financing of office equipment.

There have been no other significant changes in the nature 
 of the activities of the CSG Group during the financial year.

5  Operating and Financial Review

CSG Limited is a leading provider in the sale and service  
of multi-function devices and printers in Australia and  
New Zealand. CSG also operates a leasing company across  
both countries to facilitate the sale of printing devices along  
with an integrated communications business that supplies 
telephony equipment and service.

In the Australian marketplace CSG has established a recognised 
brand for the supply and service of multi-function devices in the 
small to medium enterprise sector as well as across state and 
federal government. In the New Zealand market, CSG operates as 
the Konica Minolta brand and is one of the largest suppliers  
of sales and service to the corporate, government and 
commercial marketplace. 

Our core income is comprised of equipment sales revenue, 
finance income and monthly service fees based on a metered 

charge for each page printed or scanned on the printing device. 
We also derive income from the provision of software solutions 
that assist in the management of the print environment, digital 
data and document storage for larger enterprise and government 
customers. Our integrated communications business earns 
its income from the sale of equipment and annual service and 
equipment maintenance fees.

The key differentiator for CSG in both the Australian and  
New Zealand market is the quality of service which is reflected in 
the “More than you expect” tag line that accompanies the CSG 
logo which was released in December 2012. Premium service 
combined with efficient financing and high quality technical 
advice is paramount to the CSG value proposition. As the only 
publicly listed company of size and scale in Australia and New 
Zealand that can provide sales, service and support across both 
nations, CSG truly differentiates itself from the manufacturers 
who operate with a host of indirect channel partners in various 
forms of relationships.

CSG has a commitment to diversity and recognising and 
rewarding our staff. We currently employ approximately 700 staff 
across Australia and New Zealand with offices in 27 locations.  
We strive to achieve above industry standard benchmarks for  
the productivity of our workforce whilst delivering the highest 
level of staff and customer satisfaction.

We sell and service the following brands of printers, multi-function devices and communications equipment.

Our Products and Service

Our core value proposition is built on “delighting” our customers. 
Underpinning the successful operation of our customer case is 
printing technology that is supported and serviced by CSG. This 
is increasingly important as customers replace multiple printers 
and low capacity MFDs with higher capacity MFDs. 

Our sales team work with our customers to tailor the selection  
of a printing device that is the best fit for their organisation with  
a customised finance arrangement from our leasing company  
to meet their business requirements. Our sales team consists  
of Master Agents (who are commission only agents) and full  
time employees. 

Our customer base is distributed across Australia with a large 
concentration on the eastern seaboard. Our current market 
share is approximately 3 per cent of the laser printer market and 
there is a substantial opportunity for the business to grow across 
the small and medium enterprise customer base. 

All of our customers are serviced by our technicians who repair 
and replace parts as necessary. In many cases, our technicians 
are industry veterans, expert in the diagnosis and repair of faults 
or breaks in either the hardware or software managing  
the devices. 

In New Zealand, CSG Business Solutions is the exclusive 
distributor of Konica Minolta multi-function devices and printers 
and provides long-term maintenance service agreements. CSG 
Business Solutions is positioned in the New Zealand market as 
one of the largest participants in this sector. 

CSG acquired the New Zealand business in February 2010.  
The acquisition involved the purchase of 90 per cent of Konica 
Minolta Business Solutions (KMBS) and 100 per cent of the 
associated finance company, Leasing Solutions Limited (LSL). 
The remaining 10 per cent of the print business is owned by 
Konica Minolta Business Technologies Japan. KMBS has exclusive 
rights to sell Konica Minolta MFDs in New Zealand. Under the 
shareholder agreement CSG has management control for the 
KMBS operations.

Core elements of the service organisation are the call centre, 
second level service centre, that provides remote diagnosis  
and call resolution, field technicians and the professional  
services organisation.

The professional services organisation consults, recommends, 
implements and supports a range of software solutions integral 
to supporting the printing environment of our customer base. 
Colour consulting and design are also key services delivered  
by the professional services group.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Directors’ Report (Continued)

6.2  Enterprise Solutions

•	 Service Management

A growing division within CSG is the Enterprise Solutions division. 
This team provides managed print solutions to tier one and 
government sectors. In December 2012 the business secured 
the Standing Offer Arrangement for the Queensland Department 
of Education, Training and Employment, as the sole provider 
to all government schools, TAFEs, and education agencies. 
It is an agreement that can be applied to other government 
departments and agencies in the state of Queensland. 

In 2011 the unit won two large managed print services (“MPS”) 
contracts with major Australian universities and was also the  
only Australian-owned company of a total of four companies  
to be included on the Federal Government’s Major Office 
Machines Panel which is mandatory for 105 Federal  
Government Departments and may also be used for  
another 86 government bodies. 

The main objectives of our current Enterprise Solutions  
offering are fourfold:

•	 Reduce the cost of printing to the organisation through 
providing a rationalisation / consultancy service to each  
site/department. The goal of the rationalisation service is  
to reduce the number of print devices

•	  Implement control measures for an organisation for the 
procurement of print devices, available from a standard 
catalogue, to ensure the right device for the job is delivered. 
Non-standard devices are available when a specific business 
need is determined and approved

•	 Introduce a range of operational services relating to print 

devices, including a dedicated print device helpdesk, proactive 
consumables ordering and a dedicated onsite support team, 
who are responsible for replenishing paper and toner, attending 
service calls and providing training to our customer’s staff on 
print services

•	  Continuously improve the service offering over time and deliver 
services that meet the service levels agreed between CSG and 
the customer

Service Scope

•	 Procurement of new equipment from a standard  

device catalogue

•	 Provisioning, installation, configuration and training  

for procured equipment

•	 Break / fix services (for both new and existing equipment  

under management)

clean device, provide quick response to break/fix calls and 
provide training)

•	 Fleet Management

– Moves and changes
– Existing fleet management
– Service / Equipment disposal

– Reporting 
– Incident/Problem management including escalation
– Service request management
– Billing management
– Dispute resolution
– Continuous improvement

•	 Rationalisation / Consultancy service

6.3  Finance Solutions

In New Zealand, the finance business is a mature, well managed 
business with strong performance driven by bad debts of  
less than 0.5 per cent and a strong return on equity of above  
50 per cent. 

In Australia, the Finance business launched in March 2013 and 
provides a major growth opportunity for existing and new CSG 
customers. Management are looking to replicate the size of the 
New Zealand business in Australia over the next 3 to 5 years. 

In a competitive Australian landscape, the new offering of CSG 
Finance Solutions provides a fresh opportunity to engage and 
re-engage with customers. The business has rapidly achieved 
close alignment with the Business Solutions Australia sales force, 
resulting in 95 per cent of new business written with Australian 
customers being transacted through the facility.

Total lease receivables grew 16 per cent to $115.5m in the  
12 months to 30 June 2013.

Industry Background and Trends

Our business strategy to achieve the vision is as follows:

The Printing Services sector is a mature industry selling and 
servicing digital printing devices for the office and light production 
printing applications. The major shift in this industry in recent 
years has been the move from mono (black and white) printing 
to colour. This shift has provided a major increase in the service 
income per unit as the customer spend per colour print is 
significantly higher than for a mono print. This trend is continuing 
as all major providers convert their existing customer bases over 
to colour technology.

As a mature industry the market place is highly competitive, 
requiring the development of strong customer relationships and 
added value business offerings to secure customer contracts. 
The introduction of Enterprise Solutions is a successful method 
in which to provide an added value offering to customers as an 
alternative to price based competition. This expansion is a core 
strategy for the future at CSG, both in New Zealand and Australia.

9  Strategy

The Board and management have built a three year plan for 
the business to address the immediate challenges facing the 
business along with the opportunities for growth.

The vision for the three core divisions of the business are: 

•	 Business Solutions

   To continue to grow the customer base by providing an end 
to end service solution for small and medium customers. To 
expand the share of the customer wallet on office products, 
business systems and core IT platforms all supported by a 
single CSG Finance Solution

•	 Enterprise Solutions

   To introduce to the market a disruptive engagement 
proposition that integrates the management of printing 
devices with an organisations approach to managing their 
core IT platforms. To work with our enterprise customers to 
manage the transition of their environment from manufacturer/
purchasing driven to an agnostic relationship focused on 
maximising the value of their existing devices whilst managing 
their fleet along the same model as their IT infrastructure

•	 Finance Solutions

To migrate the Australian customer base to a relationship  
with CSG Finance Solutions. This would result in the receivables 
book in Australia being of equivalent size to the book in  
New Zealand

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Principal Risk Area: Key Suppliers
CSG’s key suppliers are Canon Australia and Konica Minolta 
Business Technologies who supply the majority of inventory.  
It is critical to maintain relationships. 

Risk Management Approach: 
These are long standing relationships managed by CSG’s 
Executive Management Team and the Board through long term 
contracts under commercial terms. 

Principal Risk Area: Key Personnel
CSG’s continued success is highly dependent upon the efforts 
of the Executive Management Team and other key employees 
including sales professionals. The retention of these skilled 
personnel is critical.

Risk Management Approach:  
CSG has introduced a Long Term Incentive Plan for the Executive 
Management Team and other key management and a share based 
plan for all other employees across Australia and New Zealand.

Principal Risk Area: Competition
The Company’s business is susceptible to competition in 
the markets in which the Company operates. Additionally, 
competitive pricing strategies and demands from high value 
clients seeking preferred supplier agreements, may impact  
on the Company’s profit margins and profit share. 

Risk Management Approach:  
The risk is mitigated by a large diversified client base with 
multi-year agreements in place reducing the impact of pricing 
strategies and demands from any one customer. 

Directors’ Report (Continued)

9.1  Risk Management

CSG has established the following at risk areas and  
mitigating procedures: 

Principal Risk Area: Innovation
Inability to optimise full value of innovation opportunities in 
services, products, processes and commercial solutions to 
support growth opportunities. 

Risk Management Approach:  
CSG has a proactive growth strategy that combines leadership, 
partnerships and continual review.

Principal Risk Area: Foreign Exchange
Revenue from non-Australian operations is denominated 
primarily in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and equipment purchases 
for New Zealand operations are primarily in US Dollars (USD). 
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may result in 
corresponding movements in revenues and earnings.

Risk Management Approach:  
Currency hedging instruments, including foreign currency forward 
contracts are used to mitigate this risk. 

Principal Risk Area: Interest Rate
The CSG Group has both corporate and operational debt 
facilities. Movements in interest rates could have an adverse 
impact on cash flows and operating results. 

Risk Management Approach:  
To minimise interest rate risk between the fixed rate assets and 
variable rate liabilities, management uses interest rate swaps to 
broadly match fixed rate assets to floating rate liabilities. 

Principal Risk Area: Availability of Debt
CSG’s finance divisions in Australia and New Zealand provide 
rental and lease products. These businesses are sensitive to 
credit cost and availability as well as market liquidity. Should 
there be any disruptions in the credit markets or changes in 
the procurement of credit there could be a reduction in the 
availability of credit or an increase in the cost of sources  
of funding.

Risk Management Approach:  
Credit indicators and market conditions are monitored  
on a regular basis by management.

10  Financial Review1

The Board was pleased that the business was able to  
show significant growth in underlying EBITDA from the 2012 
results. During the 2013 financial year, the new Executive 
Management Team were able to deliver on many initiatives  
that now positions the business for good growth in profitability 
over the medium term. 

Given the significant level of transition and restructuring in the 
business during the financial year the Board measured the 
performance of the business using Underlying Earnings before 
Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) after 
taking into account all non–recurring or one off items. This is an 
unaudited measure which is reconciled to the audited Net Profit 
after Tax in the table below:

10.1  Revenue

10.2  Expenses 

Revenue declined by 10 per cent to $184.6m during 2013.  
This was driven by:

•	  Equipment revenue decline in Australia as the attention  
of the sales force was changed to focus on quality over  
quantity of revenue

•	 Service revenue in New Zealand has seen some print and 

volume erosion in all of Government and tier 1 customers due 
to increased competition. Penetration of colour printing as 
a percentage of overall volumes continues to occur which is 
offsetting a decline in service revenue

•	 The provision of managed print services by CSG Enterprise 

Solutions should be a significant driver of growth in the medium 
term, however it did not contribute a material amount of 
revenue in 2013

Expense reduction was a major focus of the business during 
2013 as part of the turnaround strategy. Management was able to 
deliver an increase in underlying EBITDA margin from 6.5 per cent 
to 12.6 per cent. The drivers of this result were:

•	 Cost of goods sold benefited from the relatively weak  
US dollar in CSG Business Solutions and lower interest  
rates in New Zealand for CSG Finance Solutions

•	 The first phase of the cost out program to achieve  

$13m in annualised cost savings was delivered

It is also noted:

•	 A number of legacy legal matters were resolved during the 

year with the settlement of Fuji Xerox Australia and Fuji Xerox 
Finance legal dispute ($4.5m) and the NEC working capital 
adjustment ($7.5m). Adjustments down in the carrying value of 
post completion payments from two business acquisitions in 
2008 have also been made due to a lack of activity at this time

•	 A number of the CSG Finance Solutions Australia start-up costs 
which are included in the reported result would not expect to  
be repeated

•	 Net interest expense decreased due to the repayment of the 

corporate debt facility in July 2012

Receivables have decreased by $229.0m primarily due to the 
settlement of the sale of the Technology Solutions division 
($227.5m) and the reclassification of the NEC working capital 
adjustment to accrued expenses ($7.5m). The associated  
cash has been used to:

Deferred consideration was reduced to nil due to the settlement 
and write-back of various amounts listed below:

•	 Canon was paid $7.0m in July 2013 for the final settlement  

of service contracts purchased in 2010

•	 A prior period earn-out dispute with Delexian was settled  

•	 Repay the corporate debt facility ($91.1m)

in July 2012 for $2.8m

•	 Pay a fully franked dividend in September 2012 for $56.5m

•	 Other prior period earn-out disputes were written back due  

•	 Participate in an on-market share buy-back in 1H13 for $2.1m

to the absence of any outstanding claims for $6.3m

•	 Pay corporate tax in February 2013 for $19.0m

•	 Pay a capital return in April 2013 for $25.0m

Leasing receivables increased by 16 per cent from the prior 
year to $115.5m due to the establishment of the CSG Finance 
Solutions business in Australia. Closing lease receivables in  
the Australian CSG Finance Solutions division was $15.1m up  
to 30 June 2013.

10.4  Liabilities

Total liabilities decreased by $127.8m to $151.2m during the year 
ended 30 June 2013.

Short term borrowings have been reduced by $91.1m due to  
the repayment of CSG Group debt out of the proceeds on sale  
of the Technology Solutions division. 

The tax payable balance in the prior year primarily represented 
the capital gains tax payable on the proceeds from the sale of the 
Technology Solutions division. 

10.5  Equity

Equity has decreased by $73.4m due to the following items:

•	 Dividend distribution of $56.5m in September 2012

•	 On-market share buy-backs of $2.1m in November and 

December 2012

•	 Capital return of $25.0m in April 2013

11  Remuneration Report

Message from the Chairman, Nomination and Remuneration Committee

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of your Board, I am pleased to present CSG’s 2013 Remuneration Report which sets  
out remuneration information for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Executive Management  
Team, Non-Executive Directors and the broader employee group.

Our underlying business performance is solid, as demonstrated in our results outlined over  
the following pages. All key business metrics have been achieved in 2013, including:

•		Underlying	EBITDA	of	$23.2m
•		Commencement	of	CSG	Finance	Solutions	Australia	in	March	2013
•		Growth	in	CSG	Enterprise	Solutions
•		Underlying	cash	conversion	tracking	to	expectations
•		Revenue	growth	in	2nd	half	2013	compared	to	1st	half	2013
•		Final	review	of	consolidated	business	functions	and	plan	for	additional	savings	of	$4.0m

At the 2012 Annual General Meeting the shareholders approved the implementation of a new executive 
Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The focus of this plan is to better align executive remuneration with 
business performance and the creation of shareholder value. Your Board recognised that this was 
an important and necessary step to attract and retain key executive talent, recognise the individual 
contributions of our people and to enhance employee engagement in the Company.

Two Staff Incentive Share Plans were also approved at the 2012 Annual General Meeting to assist the 
Company to recruit, reward, retain and motivate its employees that are not part of the executive LTIP.

Thank you for taking the time to review the 2013 Remuneration Report. Your Board is confident that 
CSG’s remuneration practices are well designed to help best drive outstanding employee and executive 
performance. It is this performance that is required to execute our business strategy and create 
sustainable shareholder value.

Yours sincerely

Philip Bullock

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Directors’ Report (Continued)

12  Key Management Personnel

14  Remuneration Consultant

This report covers the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of CSG.

KMP are employees with authority and responsibility for planning, 
directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or 
indirectly. For CSG, the KMP are defined to be the:

•	 Chief Executive Officer

•	 Members of the Executive Management Team (senior 

executives, as listed below)

•	 Non-Executive Directors

PwC was engaged by the N&R Committee to provide 
remuneration recommendations for the new LTIP and the 
Staff Incentive Share Plans. PwC provided the services and 
information to the N&R Committee for total fees of $142,200. 
The engagement of PwC was undertaken by the N&R Committee, 
independent of management, and was based on an agreed 
set of protocols governing the manner in which remuneration 
recommendations would be developed by PwC. These protocols 
ensured that the following steps were taken:

For the year ended 30 June 2013, the Executive Management 
Team comprised the following:

•	 PwC took instructions from the N&R Committee and was 

accountable to the N&R Committee for all work

•	 During the course of any assignments, PwC sought input from 
management, however recommendations were provided 
directly to the N&R Committee

•	 Professional fee arrangements were agreed directly with the 

Chairman of the Board

The Board undertook its own enquiries and review of the 
processes and procedures and was satisfied that PwC’s 
remuneration recommendations were made free from any 
undue influence by the Executive Management Team to whom 
recommendations were related.

15  Remuneration Objectives, Policy and Practice

Like many organisations, CSG relies on the leadership of its 
Executive Management Team for the successful development 
and execution of its strategies. The remuneration strategy aims to 
attract, motivate and retain the best people in the business, align 
executive rewards with the creation of shareholder value and 
motivate executives to achieve challenging performance targets. 

In order to deliver the remuneration strategy, CSG continues to 
focus on an executive compensation framework which is made 
up of both fixed and variable remuneration. This is comprised of 
the following three elements:

Short Term 
Incentive

Fixed Term
Remuneration

Long Term 
Incentive

Total
Remuneration

Current 

•	 Chief Financial Officer – Mr. Neil Lynch

•	 Chief Operating Officer – Mr. Duncan Powell (appointed  

15 April 2013)

•	  Executive General Manager of CSG Business Solutions,  

New Zealand – Mr. Warwick Beban (appointed 20 March 2013)

•	 Executive General Manager of CSG Business Solutions, 

 Australia – Mr. Declan Ramsay

Former

•	  Executive General Manager of CSG Finance Solutions –  

Mr. Evan Johnson (resigned 3 May 2013)

13  Remuneration Governance

The policy for determining the nature and amount of 
remuneration of Directors and Executive Management Team  
is agreed by the Board. The Board has established a Nomination  
and Remuneration Committee (“N&R Committee”), which  
is responsible for the following:

•	  Reviewing and approving the appropriate remuneration 

of the Chief Executive Officer, members of the Executive 
Management Team and Non-Executive Directors

•	 Ensuring that remuneration levels take into account risks 

involved, demands and time requirements of each role and 
relevant industry and related benchmarks

•	 Developing and recommending to the Board remuneration 

incentive programs such as bonus schemes and group share 
schemes

•	 Developing, maintaining and monitoring appropriate 

remuneration policies and procedures

•	 Ensuring that the structure of Non-Executive and Executive 

Directors’ remuneration is clearly distinguished

•	 Ensuring that equity based Executive Management Team 

remuneration is paid in accordance with thresholds set out in 
plans as disclosed or approved by shareholders

•	 Reviewing and approving appropriate disclosures to be included 
in the Company’s Annual Report regarding the N&R Committee, 
its activities and performance

The Board obtains professional advice where necessary to 
ensure that the Company attracts and retains talented and 
motivated employees and Directors who can enhance company 
performance through their contributions and leadership. 

22 

15.1  Fixed remuneration

•	 Fixed remuneration is made up of base remuneration and 
superannuation. Base remuneration includes cash salary  
and any salary sacrifice items e.g. motor vehicles

•	 The following factors are taken into account when setting fixed 

remuneration levels:

  – The individual’s skills and experience
  – The requirements of their role
  –  Remuneration levels of companies in the Company’s 

comparator group

  – Relevant economic conditions

•	 CSG provides employer superannuation contributions at 
Government legislated rates (2013: 9 per cent in Australia  
and 3 per cent in New Zealand), capped at the relevant 
concessional contribution limit unless part of a salary sacrifice 
election by the employee

•	 The Board determines an appropriate level of fixed 

remuneration for the CEO and Executive Management Team, 
with recommendations from the N&R Committee

•	 Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually, following the end  

of the 30 June performance year

15.2  Short term incentives (STI)

•	 The purpose of an STI is to provide direct alignment between 
employee remuneration and the CSG strategy, objectives  
and performance

•	 An STI is an annual incentive opportunity based on individual 
and divisional performance and CSG’s overall performance

•	 The Executive Management Team of CSG are eligible to 
participate in the STI Plan based on their responsibility  
and impact on achievement of annual objectives

•	 The STI may be delivered as cash or shares (subject to any 

shareholder approval requirements)

Performance measures are cascaded from the Company level 
through to individuals. Company measures are approved by the 
Board and individual measures are determined by the employee’s 
position and responsibilities. The Board has regard primarily for 
Company performance versus individual performance to align 
reward outcomes with shareholder outcomes. 

The introduction of a corporate scorecard will occur during  
2014. This scorecard will be used to measure a component  
of all STI entitlements. 

For the 2013 financial year, the Board set one or more of the 
following Company performance objectives for each of the  
Executive Management Team under the STI plan:

Category

Financial

Type

Profit

Revenue

Examples

Achieve Group Underlying 
EBITDA of $23m

Non–Financial

Operational

Group Strategic Plan

Customer

satisfaction score

Improve customer

From time to time, other fees in addition to the STI may be 
provided to the Executive Management Team to reward 
performance that is considered exceptional in terms of 
shareholder return or Company performance. These fees are 
approved at the discretion of the N&R Committee. 

During 2013, other fees were paid to Non-Executive Directors  
as detailed below. These amounts were paid to compensate the 
Non-Executive Directors for the exceptional effort, additional 
workload and support provided to the Executive Management 
Team in relation to the sale of the Technology Solutions division  
in July 2012. 

15.3  Long Term Incentives (LTI)

•	 While STI reward past performance, the Board considers it 
essential that the Executive Management Team and other 
management have reward incentives linked to longer-term 
Company performance and to value creation for shareholders

•	 In June 2013, the CEO and Executive Management Team were 
issued with performance rights under the CSG LTIP (LTIP Issue 
5, 6 & LTIP Issue 7). Each performance right represents an 
option to receive one ordinary share in the Company, subject  
to the satisfaction of the relevant vesting conditions

•	 The final stage of the current LTIP will expire in November 

2017 and has been implemented to provide a reward to key 
personnel during the Company’s turnaround phase. The Board 
will consider the long term plan beyond the current LTIP at a 
time in the future

•	 The performance hurdle for the grants made is growth in  

Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and the Company share price

•	 TSR was chosen as a performance hurdle as it is an indicator  

of shareholder wealth creation

•	 The Company share price was chosen in order to align with 

shareholder wealth objectives

*  Excluding retention rights  

Details of the performance criteria attached to each of the performance rights are included in the LTI discussion above and in note 21 to the financial statements. No performance rights have been 
granted since the end of the financial year. 

(a)  The percent forfeited and lapsed in the year represents the reduction from the maximum number of options available to vest due to the performance or conditions not being achieved.

(b)  Fair value is independently determined utilising assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes methodology to produce a Monte Carlo simulation model which allows for the incorporation of 

performance hurdles that must be met before the performance right vests. The valuation is undertaken in a risk-neutral framework whilst allowing for variables such as volatility, dividends, the risk 
free rate, the withdrawal rate and performance hurdles along with constants such as the strike price, term and vesting periods. 

(c)  The value of options that lapsed or were forfeited during the year represents the benefit foregone and was calculated as the number of options at the date the options lapsed or were forfeited, 

multiplied by the fair value of the options calculated independently at the date the options lapsed or were forfeited but assuming the vesting conditions were satisfied.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 1: Reporting Entity

CSG Limited (the “Company”) is a company limited by shares, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of the 
Company’s registered office is 252 Montague Road West 
End, Brisbane, QLD, Australia 4101. The consolidated financial 
statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 
2013 comprise the Company and its controlled entities (together 
referred to as the “Group” and individually as (“Group entities”). 
The Group is a for-profit entity and primarily involved in print 
related sales and service and financing of office equipment.

Note 2: Basis Of Preparation

Statement of Compliance

This financial report is a general purpose financial report that 
has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 
2001. The consolidated financial statements of the Company also 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors  
on 20 August 2013.

(a)  Basis of measurement

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost 
convention, as modified by revaluations to fair value for certain 
material items in the statement of financial position and as 
described in the accounting policies. 

(b) Functional and presentation currency

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the 
Company’s functional currency.

The company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100 
and in accordance with that Class Order, amounts in the financial 
statements have been rounded off to the nearest thousand 
dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

(c) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial report in conformity with  
IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies 
and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and 
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an 
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised 
in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future 
periods affected.

Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a 
significant inherent risk, and where future events are not as 
anticipated there could be a material impact on the carrying 
amounts of the assets and liabilities discussed below:

(d) Assessing impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (CGUs) according 
to applicable business operations. The CGUs are aligned at 

the segment level. The recoverable amount of a CGU is based 
on value-in-use calculations. These calculations are based on 
projected financial forecasts and projected cash flows approved 
by management covering a period not exceeding five years. 
Management’s determination of cash flow projections are based 
on past performance and its expectation for the future. The 
present value of future cash flows has been calculated using a 
post-tax discount rate of 11.6 per cent  for the Australia CGU and 
9.4 per cent for the NZ CGU to determine value-in-use. 

(e) Income taxes

Income tax benefits are based on the assumption that no 
adverse change will occur in the income tax legislation and 
the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future 
assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and 
comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(f) Employment benefits

Calculation of long term employment benefits requires 
estimation of the retention of staff, future remuneration levels 
and timing of the settlement of the benefits. The estimates are 
based on historical trends. 

(g) Share-based payments

Calculation of share based payments requires estimation of the 
timing of the exercise of the underlying instrument. The estimates 
are based on historical trends.

(h) Inventory – consumables at customer premises

Inventory balances include consumables owned by the Group 
but located at customer premises. The value of consumables 
recorded as inventory is based on management’s estimate 
resultant from information held in customer servicing systems 
and a sample of customer holdings.

(i) Inventory – obsolescence

Inventory balances relate to items subject to technological 
obsolescence and unknown usage levels. Obsolete and  
slow-moving inventory is estimated based on the age of the 
inventory items, historical usage and likely future usage, and  
likely recoverable values. 

Note 3: Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied 
consistently to all periods presented in this financial report,  
and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

(a) Basis of Consolidation

i. Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition 
method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which 
control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to 
govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as 
to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the 
Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that 
currently are exercisable.

38 

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:

•	 The fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

•	 The recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the 

acquiree; plus

•	  If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value 

of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less 

•	 The net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the 

identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related 
to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are 
generally recognised in profit or loss.

Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of 
debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with 
a business combination are expensed as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value 
at acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified 
as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for 
within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value  
of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

When share-based payment awards (replacement awards) 
are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s 
employees (acquiree’s awards) and relate to past services, then 
all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement 
awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred 
in the business combination. This determination is based on the 
market-based value of the replacement awards compared with 
the market-based value of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to 
which the replacement awards relate to past and/or future service.

ii. Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial 
statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated 
financial statements from the date that control commences  
until the date that control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the 
same reporting period as the parent entity, using consistent 
accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line  
any dissimilar accounting policies, which may exist. 

iii. Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests in the results of subsidiaries are shown 
separately in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and 
other comprehensive income and consolidated statement of 
financial position respectively.

iv. Loss of control

Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets 
and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests 
and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any 
surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in 
profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous 
subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the 

date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an 
equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial 
asset depending on the level of influence retained.

v. Transactions eliminated on consolidation

All inter company balances and transactions, including  
any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated  
on consolidation. 

(b) Foreign currency

i. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies of entities within the Group  
are translated into functional currency at the rate of exchange 
ruling at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary 
items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than 
monetary items arising under foreign currency contracts where 
the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the contract) 
are translated using the spot rate at the end of the financial  
year. All resulting exchange differences arising on settlement  
or restatement are recognised as revenues and expenses for  
the financial year. 

ii. Foreign operations

Entities that have a functional currency different to the 
presentation currency are translated as follows:

•	 Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates 

prevailing at that reporting date

•	 Income and expenses are translated at actual exchange rates  
or average exchange rates for the period, where appropriate

•	 All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate 

component of equity

(c) Financial instruments

i. Non-derivative financial assets

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date 
that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets 
designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised 
initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party  
to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual 
rights to the cash flow from the asset expire, or it transfers the 
rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset 
in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest 
in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the 
Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount 
presented in the statement of financial position only when the 
Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either  
to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the  
liability simultaneously.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: 
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans  
and receivables.

39

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies (Continued)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss 
if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon 
initial recognition. Financial assets are designated at fair value 
through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments 
and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value 
in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management 
or investment strategy. Attributable transaction costs are 
recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Financial assets at their 
fair value through profit or loss are remeasured at fair value, and 
changes therein are recognised in profit or loss.

Investments in listed securities are carried at fair value through 
profit and loss. They are measured at their fair value at each 
reporting date and any increment or decrement in fair value from 
the prior period is recognised in the profit and loss of the current 
period. The fair value of listed investments is based on closing bid 
prices at balance date.

Non-listed investments, for which fair value cannot be reliably 
measured, are carried at cost and tested for impairment.

 Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or 
determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market. 
Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at inception and 
subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise cash and cash equivalents and, 
trade and other receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, 
including restricted cash and a group multi-function bank 
overdraft facility. Bank overdrafts are shown within long-term 
borrowings in non-current liabilities on the balance sheet.

ii. Non-derivative financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value 
through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade 
date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. 

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual 
obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the 
other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are 
recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable 
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these 
financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method.

Other financial liabilities comprise trade payables, other creditors 
and loans from third parties including inter company balances 
and loans from or other amounts due to Director related entities.

iii. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs 
directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in 
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or for 
the acquisition of a business are included in the cost of the 
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

iv. Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its 
exposure to interest rate risks arising from financing activities 
and foreign exchange risk in respect of inventory purchases. In 
accordance with treasury policy, the Company does not hold 
or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. 
However, derivatives that are not designated hedges are 
accounted for as held for trading instruments.

On initial designation of the derivative as the hedging instrument, 
the Group formally documents the relationship between the 
hedging instrument and the hedged item, including the risk 
management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge 
transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods 
that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging 
relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the 
inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing 
basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly 
effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows 
of the respective hedged items attributable to hedged risk, and 
whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 
80 – 125 per cent. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, 
the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should 
present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could 
ultimately affect reported profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at 
fair value and transaction costs are expensed immediately. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments 
are stated at fair value and subject to the nature of the hedging 
instrument the gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is 
recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive 
income or as described below.

Cash flow hedges

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a 
hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular 
risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly 
probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss,  
the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative 
is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in 
the hedging reserve in equity. The ineffective portion of changes 
in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in 
profit or loss.

When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount 
recognised in equity is included in the carrying amount of the 
asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases the amount 
accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same 
period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging 
instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, 

40 

expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is 
revoked, the hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.  
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then 
the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

(d) Revenue Recognition

Sale of Goods

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable. 

Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is 
recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the 
goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be 
incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.

Rendering of Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised 
by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The 
revenue recognised from rendering of services combines:

(i)   invoicing from the provision of the Group’s services inclusive 
of the amounts due and payable under the terms of the long 
term service contracts; and

(ii)   revenue not yet invoiced but earned on work completed in 

servicing long term service contracts which, while owing to the 
Group under the terms of those contracts, will not become 
payable until future years.

The long term service contracts specifically detail both services 
to be performed and the invoicing components for each year 
of the contracts. The Group’s contract administration system 
enables the stage of completion of each contract to be reliably 
determined.

Interest Income

Interest on loans and receivables from finance leases is 
recognised on an effective interest rate basis. Minimum lease 
payments received under finance leases are apportioned 
between the finance income and the reduction of the 
outstanding asset. The finance income is allocated to each 
period during the lease term so as to produce a constant period 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the asset. An accrual 
basis is used to record interest income. 

Operating Lease Revenue

Rental income from operating leases of equipment is recognised 
on an accrual basis with income recognised on a straight line 
basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are 
recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the 
term of the lease.

Equipment Sales under Financing Arrangement 

Equipment which is subject to rental agreements with customers 
may be sold to a finance company prior to the commencement 
of the rental agreement. Rental payments are collected by the 
relevant Group entity and passed on to the finance company.  
A sale is recognised when goods have been dispatched to a 
customer pursuant to a rental agreement and a sales invoice has 
been issued to the finance company. Under these arrangements 
the risks of ownership of the equipment passes to the customer 

upon delivery of the equipment to the customer and the 
credit risk in relation to the rental stream passes to the finance 
company. In these circumstances the Group entity guarantees to 
buy back the equipment for a nominal amount at the end of the 
rental agreement (or upon termination of the agreement) based 
on the term of the agreement.

Other Income

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive  
a dividend has been established.

(e) Receivables

All trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value,  
and subsequently at amortised cost, less impairment.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. 
An impairment loss is raised when there is objective evidence 
that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due 
according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount 
of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, 
discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows 
relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect 
of discounting is not material. The amount of the impairment is 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 

(f) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out 
principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the 
inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their 
existing location and condition. 

Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price  
in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs  
of completion.

(g) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less 
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment 
charges. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable  
to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount 
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it 
is probable that future economic benefits associated with the 
item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. All repairs and maintenance are charged to  
the income statement during the financial period in which they 
are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing 
proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the 
statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its 
recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than 
its estimated recoverable amount.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies (Continued)

(i) Impairment

i. Non-derivative financial assets

Where the Company leases assets as a lessor on an operating 
lease, the Company retains substantially all the risks and  
rewards of ownership. The assets are stated at historical  
cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses 
(where applicable). 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated  
on a straight line and diminishing value basis to allocate their  
cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over  
their estimated useful lives to the Company.

The following rates used in the calculation of depreciation  
are as follows:

(h) Intangible Assets

i. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition 
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired 
subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of 
subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill acquired in  
a business combination is allocated into the specific components 
acquired as part of the business combination. 

All goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently 
if events or circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and 
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and 
losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of 
goodwill relating to the entity sold.

ii. Licenses and other Intangible Assets

Licenses and other intangible assets have a finite useful life 
and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-
line method to allocate the cost of the licenses over their 
estimated useful life. Software developed for resale is amortised 
over five years. Customer contracts/relationships acquired in a 
business combination have been assigned a finite life of 14 years 
and are amortised on a straight line basis over this period.

A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is 
assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is 
objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired 
if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one 
or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the 
asset, and that the loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated 
future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured 
at amortised costs is calculated as the difference between its 
carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future 
cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest 
rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in 
an allowance account against loans and receivables. Interest 
on the impaired asset continues to be recognised. When an 
event occurring after the impairment was recognised causes 
the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in 
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.

ii. Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets are 
reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there 
is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, 
then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and 
indefinite life intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. 
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an 
asset or its related cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its 
recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its 
value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value 
in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to the 
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current 
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks 
specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment 
testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped 
together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash 
inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the 
cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating 
segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated 
are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is 
performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored 
for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business 
combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to 
benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment 
losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce 
the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of 
CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other 
assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For 
other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent 
that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying 
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation  
or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

iii. Trade and other Payables

 i. Restructuring

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year,  
which are unpaid.

( j) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value. Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any differences 
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the 
redemption amount is recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using 
the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment 
of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating to the 
actual draw down of the facility, are recognised as transaction 
costs and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of  
the facility.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company 
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at 
least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in 
which they are incurred.

(k) Employee benefits

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave 
and any other employee benefits expected to be settled 
within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at 
their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which 
are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other 
employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value 
of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of 
services provided by employees up to the reporting date

i. Share-based Payments

The Group operates an employee share option plan. The bonus 
element over the exercise price for the grant of options is 
recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive 
income in the period(s) when the benefit is earned.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is 
determined by reference to the fair value of the options at grant 
date. The fair value of options at grant date is determined using 
the Monte Carlo pricing model, and is recognised as an employee 
expense over the period during which the employees become 
entitled to the option.

(l) Provisions

A provision is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation 
exists as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow 
of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and 
the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. Provisions 
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows  
at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of  
the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.  
The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group 
has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the 
restructuring either has commenced or has been announced 
publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for.

ii. Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the 
expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are 
lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under 
the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of 
the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and 
the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a 
provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment 
loss on the assets associated with the contract.

(m) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating 
or finance leases based on the economic substance of the 
agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental  
to ownership

i. Finance Leases

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their 
fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the 
minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of 
the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in 
the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Leased assets are 
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the 
assets and the lease term. 

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and 
reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance 
charges are charged directly against income.

ii. Operating Lease

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another 
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in 
which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

(n) Finance income and finance costs

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, 
dividend income, fair value gains on financial assets at fair 
value through profit or loss, gains on the remeasurement to 
fair value of any pre-existing interest in an acquiree, gains on 
hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and 
reclassifications of amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income. Interest income is recognised as it 
accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. 
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date  
that the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

43

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies (Continued)

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, 
unwinding of the discount on provisions and contingent 
consideration, fair value losses on financials assets at fair 
value through profit or loss, impairment losses recognised 
on financial assets (other than trade receivables), losses on 
hedging instruments that are recognised in profit or loss and 
reclassifications of amounts previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the 
acquisition of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss 
using the effective interest method. 

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis 
as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether 
foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

(o) Income Tax

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and 
deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent 
that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised 
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current income tax expense or revenue is the tax payable on the 
current year’s taxable income based on the applicable income 
tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities 
and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. 
Current tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the 
declaration of dividends. 

A balance sheet approach is adopted under which deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying 
amounts in the financial statements. No deferred tax asset or 
liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences arising 
from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose 
in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the 
time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or 
taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be 
applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax 
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the 
Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions 
and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The 
Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate 
for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, 
including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. 
This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and 
may involve a series of judgements about future events. New 
information may become available that causes the Group to 
change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax 
liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense  
in the period that such a determination is made.

44 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally 
enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and 
they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority 
on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they 
intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or 
their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary 
differences and unused tax losses only when it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences and losses. 

Additional income tax expenses that arise from the distribution of 
cash dividends are recognised at the same time that the liability 
to pay the related dividend is recognised. The Group does not 
distribute non-cash assets as dividends to its shareholders.

i. Tax Consolidation

CSG Limited and its Australian subsidiaries have formed an 
income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation 
legislation on 1 July 2007. The parent entity is responsible for 
recognising the current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets 
arising in respect of tax losses, for the tax consolidated group.  
The tax consolidated group has also entered a tax funding 
agreement whereby each company 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. 

(p) Research & Development

Research & Development expenditure is recognised as an 
expense as incurred. Concessional tax benefits receivable 
in respect of eligible expenditure are recognised as income. 
Income is recognised with respect to concessional benefits upon 
confirmation and registration of eligible projects with evaluation 
and registration of eligible projects typically completed in the 
following financial year. Costs incurred on development projects 
are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that 
the project will, after considering its commercial and technical 
feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits 
and its costs can be measured reliably.

(q) Discontinued operations

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon the 
disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified 
as held for sale or distribution, if earlier. 

(r) Segment reporting

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items 
directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be 
allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise 
mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), 
head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities

Note 4: New Accounting Standards  
and Interpretations

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and 
interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning 
after 1 July 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these 
consolidated financial statements. 

1   AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2010)  

(includes financial assets and financial liability requirements) 
(effective 1 January 2015, previously 1 January 2013). 

 In December 2010, the AASB added requirements for the 
classification and measurement of financial liabilities that 
are generally consistent with the equivalent requirements in 
AASB 139 except in respect of the fair value option; and certain 
derivatives linked to unquoted equity instruments. The Group 
does not expect the new standard to have a significant effect 
on existing financial assets and financial liabilities. 

2   AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements  

(effective 1 January 2013) 

 AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and 
consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial 
Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation – Special 
Purpose Entities. The Group does not expect the new standard 
to have a significant effect on disclosures. 

3   AASB 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities  

(effective 1 January 2013) 

 AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements for entities that 
have interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates 
and/or unconsolidated structured entities. The Group does 
not expect the new standard to have a significant effect on 
disclosures. 

4  AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective 1 January 2013) 

 AASB 13 provides a single source of guidance on how to 
measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures 
and expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or 
liabilities carried at fair value. The Group does not expect the 
new standard to have a significant effect on disclosures. 

 5 AASB 119 Employee Benefits (effective 1 January 2013) 

 AASB 119, amended September 2011, changes the definition 
of short-term and other long-term employee benefits to 
clarify the distinction between the two. The standard also 
makes changes to defined benefit plans and subtle changes 
to termination benefits. The Group does not have any defined 
benefit plans. Therefore, these amendments will not have a 
significant impact.

Note 5: Determination of Fair Values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures 
require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined 
for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the 
following methods. When applicable, further information about 
the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in 
the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(a) Equity and debt securities

The fair value of equity and debt securities is determined by 
reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date, 
or if unquoted determined using a valuation technique. Valuation 
techniques employed include market multiples and discounted 
cash flow analysis using expected future cash flows and a 
market-related discount rate. The fair value of held-to-maturity 
investments is determined for disclosure purposes only.

(b) Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables are estimated as 
the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market 
rate of interest. Where this fair value is determined for disclosure 
purposes the market rate of interest is that at the reporting date. 
Where this fair value is determined when acquired in a business 
combination, the market rate of interest is that at the date of 
acquisition.

(c) Forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their 
quoted price, if available. If a quoted price is not available, then 
the fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between 
the contractual forward price and the current forward price for 
the residual maturity of the contract using a credit-adjusted risk-
free interest rate (based on government bonds).

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. 
These quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting 
estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity 
of each contract and using the market interest rates for a similar 
instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the 
credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take 
account of the credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty 
when appropriate.

(d) Other non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is 
calculated based on the present value of future principal and 
interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest  
at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of 
interest is referenced to the contract.

45

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13 
 
 
 
 
During the year the Group entered into a new Senior Debt Facility 
Agreement with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”) for 
a maximum facility amount of $25m (2012:$nil) with a maturity 
date of 4 July 2016. This Facility is primarily to be used for working 
capital and general corporate purposes but also provides for a 
business card facility and a lease finance facility. At balance date 
there are no amounts outstanding under this Facility. Interest on 
the Facility is charged at a floating rate plus a margin. 

The Group’s Commonwealth Bank of Australia New Zealand 
funding facility (“NZ CBA”), securitised by finance lease 
receivables, (“Securitisation Facility”) matures on 8 July 2014.  
The maximum funding limit under this facility is $84.2m 
(NZ$100m) (2012: $78.3m ($NZ100m)). Interest on the 
Securitisation Facility is charged at a floating rate plus a margin, 
and re-prices on a monthly basis. As the finance lease receivables 
are predominantly fixed rate in nature, the Group enters into 
interest rate swaps to fix these floating rate exposures.

In addition to the NZ CBA facility above the Group has funded 
leasing activities in New Zealand by way of finance leases with 
CBA through a Cash Advance Facility, also secured by finance 
lease receivables (previously funded by Equigroup Finance 
Limited). The facility limit is $23.2m (NZ$27.5m) (2012:$21.5m 
(NZ$27.5m)). Interest on the facility is charged at a floating rate 
plus a margin and re-prices at specified short-term intervals. 

During March 2013, CSG Finance Australia Pty Ltd was 
established to provide leasing products to Australian customers. 
The operations are funded by a new facility with the CBA and are 
provided to its subsidiary CSG Group Receivables Pty Ltd. The 
facility limit is $25m (2012:$nil) and the debt is secured by the 
finance lease receivables. This facility matures on 20 June 2016. 
Interest on the facility is charged at a floating rate plus a margin 
and re-prices at specified short-term intervals. 

Financial instruments are subject to the risk that market values 
may change subsequent to their acquisition. In the case of 
interest rates, market changes will affect the cash flows of 
interest income and interest expense for the Company and 
Group. The management of the Group’s exposure to interest 
rates is carried out through regular monitoring of the interest 
re-pricing profile for both assets and liabilities of the Group. In 
terms of the securitisation facility interest rate swaps are taken 
out by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Solutions Group 
Receivables Limited to hedge 100 per cent of the future cash flow 
equivalent to the portfolio designated “securitised” leases.

Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 5: Determination of Fair Values 
(Continued)

(e) Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of the Performance Rights under the Long Term 
Incentive Plan is measured using Monte Carlo sampling. The 
fair value of the employee share options currently under issue 
is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement 
inputs include the share price on the measurement date, the 
exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on 
an evaluation of the historic volatility of the Company’s share 
price, particularly over the historical period commensurate with 
the expected term), expected term of the instruments (based 
on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), 
expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on 
government bonds). Service and non-market performance 
conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into 
account in determining fair value. 

(f) Contingent consideration

The fair value of contingent consideration is calculated using the 
income approach based on the expected payment amounts and 
their associated probabilities. When appropriate, it is discounted 
to present value.

Note 6: Financial Risk Management

The major financial instruments entered into by the Group 
comprise short term trade receivables and payables, loans and 
receivables, loans and borrowings and long term borrowings. The 
Group does not have any significant financial risks in respect of 
trade receivables and payables. The main area of financial risk 
arises in respect of interest rate risk on long-term borrowings. 
Certain aspects of financial risk management are considered 
further as detailed below:

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks comprising:

•	interest	rate	risk
•	credit	risk
•	liquidity	risk
•	foreign	exchange	risk
•	fair	values

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for identifying 
and managing operational and financial risks.

(a) Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risks and the effective 
interest rates of financial assets and financial liabilities, both 
recognised and unrecognised at the balance date, are detailed  
in the table provided below.

Note 6: Financial Risk Management (Continued)

(b) Credit Risk Exposures 

Credit risk is the risk that a loss will be incurred if a counterparty  
to a transaction does not fulfill its financial obligations. 
Management is responsible for sanctioning large credit exposures 
to all customers arising from lending activities. Financial 
instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentrations 
of credit risk consist principally of cash and bank balances, 
finance leases receivables, trade receivables and prepayments.

The Group has a credit policy that is used to manage its exposure 
to credit risk. As part of this policy, limits on exposures have been 
set, lease agreements are subject to defined criteria, and leases 
are monitored on a regular basis. Maximum exposures are net 
of any recognised provisions. The maximum credit risk is the 
contract value of the leases. To control the level of credit risk 
taken, management evaluates each customer’s credit risk on a 
case by case basis. Credit risk is mitigated by the large number  
of clients and relatively small size of individual credit exposures.

For finance and operating leases the collateral taken on the 
provision of a financial facility is by way of a registered security 
interest over the leased asset. In some cases a personal 
guarantee is obtained. Loan and lease agreements provide  
that, if an event of default occurs, collateral will be repossessed 
and/or the personal guarantee invoked. The repossessed 
collateral is either held until overdue payments have been 
received or sold in the secondary market.

In addition the Company has contingent liabilities relating to  
buy back guarantees on certain finance contracts for the lease  
of copiers and multi-function devices by customers. The 
Company undertakes a credit approval process to determine 
whether it is prepared to buy back the loan on default. When  
a circumstance arises where the Company is required to buy 
back the loan, the equipment financed becomes the property  
of the Company. To date, there has been one instance where  
the Company has been required to buy back a loan.

i. Concentrations of Credit Risk 

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation 
to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with a large 
number of customers. The print businesses have a broad 
range of clients across all sectors of the economy, and spread 
throughout all regions of Australia and New Zealand. The leasing 
business has a wide spread of clients across all economic 
sectors and regions of New Zealand. The Group does not have 
any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group 
of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the 
consolidated entity.

(c) Liquidity Risk

The Group produces positive cash flows from operating activities 
on a regular basis. Refer to Note 23 (c) for details on the unused 
banking facility.

As part of the arrangements regarding the Facilities in New 
Zealand (NZ CBA Securitisation Facility and the Cash Advance 
Facility), the Group is required to contribute towards credit 
protection reserves. The credit protection reserve of the NZ 
CBA Securitisation Facility has to be maintained at a minimum 
calculated percentage of the net pool balance of securitised 
finance leases. The minimum calculated percentage is based 
on historical bad debt and charge off rates. At 30 June 2013 the 
required percentage was 9.40 per cent (2012: 9.40 per cent). 
The cash reserve has to be maintained at 2 per cent of the lease 
book value (2012: 2 per cent). The credit protection reserve of 
the Cash Advance Facility is a cash reserve maintained at 10 per 
cent of the lease book value (2012:10 per cent).

The credit protection reserve for the leasing facility in Australia 
has to be maintained at the greater of $4.6m or a minimum 
calculated percentage which is based on historical arrears rates. 
The cash reserve has to be maintained at the greater of 2 per 
cent loan book value or $0.4m. At 30 June 2013 the cash reserve 
provided is $0.4m (2012: $nil) and the credit protection provided 
is $4.6m which is invested in leased assets. 

The Company was in full compliance with these covenants  
at balance date.

Cash reserve accounts and enhancement deposit accounts are 
restricted under the securitisation arrangements. The funds will 
be repaid to the Group on request if the Company has paid more 

than required for the Credit Protection. Once a month funds paid 
into the bank accounts, by the lessees, which do not relate to 
repayment of principal balances, will be returned to the Group. 

(d) Foreign Exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign 
exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily 
with respect to the New Zealand dollar and US dollar.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial 
transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net 
investments in foreign operations.

The Company’s subsidiary, Konica Minolta Business Solutions  
New Zealand Limited, settles purchases of equipment 
predominantly in US dollars. All purchases are fully hedged 
with forward cover taken out to protect from exchange rate 
movements between the shipping date and settlement.

(e) Fair values

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities 
approximates their carrying amounts as disclosed in the 
Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the financial 
statements.

Note 16: Property, Plant And Equipment (Continued) 

Change in estimates

During the year, the Group conducted a review of assets which resulted in changes in the expected usage of certain items. Certain 
office computer equipment, leasehold improvements and furniture and fittings are now considered no longer in use and as a result, 
the expected useful life of these assets has decreased. The effect of these changes on actual and expected depreciation expense in 
current and future years is as follows:

Note 17: Intangibles (Continued)

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s operating divisions. The aggregate carrying amounts of 
goodwill allocated to each CGU are as follows:

164,790

2013

68,483
93,974
162,457

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are based on their value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows  
covering a five year period, based on financial budgets approved by the Board. 

Key assumptions used in the calculation of value in use were discount rate and the EBITDA growth rate, which are listed 
in the table below.

The discount rate applied was a pre-tax measure based on the risk-free rate obtained from the yield on 10–year bonds issued by 
the government in the relevant market and in the same currency as the cash flows adjusted for a risk premium to reflect both the 
increased risk of investing in equities generally and the systemic risk of the specific CGU.

The Board has determined there are no reasonably possible changes that could occur in the two key assumptions that would cause 
the carrying amount of these CGUs to exceed their recoverable amount.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 26: Deed Of Cross Guarantee 

CSG Limited and its Australian wholly owned subsidiaries as 
detailed in Note 25(e) are parties to a Deed of Cross Guarantee 
under which each company guarantees the debts of others. 

By entering into the Deed, the participating wholly owned entities 
have been relieved of the requirements to prepare financial 
reports and Director’s Report under the Class Order 98/1418 (as 
amended by Class Orders 98/2017, 00/0321 and 01/1087) issued 
by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission.

The above companies represent a ’Closed Group’ for the purpose 
of the Class Order, and there are no other parties to the Deed of

Note 31: Segment Information

(a) Description of Segments

Management has determined the operating segment based on 
reports reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and Executive 
Management Team (comprising the Chief Financial Officer 
and Group General Managers) for making strategic decisions. 
The Chief Executive Officer and Executive Management Team 
monitor the business based on product/service factors and have 
identified the following reportable segment:

Print Services

The Print Services segment derives its revenue through the 
aggregation of three specialist service offerings:

•	 Print Service business centres providing integration  

and convergence of voice, print and data 

•	 Managed Print Services delivering and implementing holistic 
managed print solutions and document output solutions

•	 Finance solutions for print services equipment

The remaining business operations/activities (including 
corporate office activities) are classified as ’Other’ to facilitate 
reconciliation to Group results.

Management has determined that the Australian and  
New Zealand businesses are separate operating segments but 
due to their similarity in terms of product and service offerings 
in addition to the methods used to distribute products across 
both geographies these business units will be aggregated for the 
purposes of segment reporting.

CSG ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13 
Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2013

Note 34: Contingent Liabilities

During the year the Company has received correspondence 
regarding earn out payments under two historical purchase 
agreements. The agreements relate to the purchase of the 
Cinglevue and ATI businesses in 2008 and the maximum 
payments are capped at $5.6m and $2.3m respectively. 

In relation to the ATI matter, there is currently no known  
or threatened claim against the Company and therefore  
no provision has been made. 

In relation to the Cinglevue matter, the Company has complied 
with its order for inspection of documents. At this stage, the 
Company does not have clarity in relation to the nature of the 
potential claim and therefore no provision has been made. 

There is a risk that the vendors may commence legal proceedings 
against the Company seeking the post completion payments.
