The 2018 financial year has seen the company move further
towards its goal as a diversified wealth advisor supporting
self-directed and self-managing wholesale investors. This goal
included:
• Building out the range of equity fund products;
•
• Building a private wealth advisory service under the Clime
Expanding products and solutions across asset classes;
brand; and
• Developing a cost-effective administration service for
SMSF clients.
The Managing Director‘s Report explains the progress of these
objectives in greater detail.
Total revenue for the year of $10.86 million was a 25% increase
over the 2017 financial year, boosted by a $0.96 million
increase in performance fees and more pleasingly, a $1.39
million increase in management fees – the core of our business
sustainability.
Gross Funds Under Management grew during the 2018 financial
year by $271 million to $855 million. This included a net $122
million obtained from the merger with CBG Asset Management
and the balance from organic growth and market price
movements.
On 21 August 2018 the company announced the appointment
of a new CEO, Mr. Rod Bristow, to take responsibility for the
management and growth of the business from mid September
2018. Mr. Bristow brings a wealth of management experience,
having worked in senior roles across a range of successful
financial services businesses. He has expertise in developing and
implementing strategy for enhanced organisational performance
with a strong commercial and ethical overlay.
The managing director and founder, Mr. John Abernethy, remains
with the business and will be aligned with growth objectives in
Clime Private Wealth through timely investment market and
asset allocation forecasting.
Profit before income tax increased 78% to $1.37 million. Profit
after tax is not directly comparable due to the large tax benefit
in 2017 arising from the deconsolidation of the deferred tax
liability in Clime Private Limited (CPL).
Directors are proposing a fully franked final dividend of 1.5 cents
to be paid on 3 October 2018 which together with the fully
franked interim dividend of 1.5 cents, makes a total of 3.0 cents
per share which is unchanged from last year.
Profit before income tax is after amortisation of $0.57 million
across management contracts, client lists and investment
software. Profit before tax and amortisation amounted to $1.94
million compared with $1.24 million in FY17.
While these results are lower than the profits being reported
in 2014 and 2015, shareholders have benefited from stripping
down the non-core assets by way of in-specie distribution of
shares in CPL and generous dividend payments relative to
earnings per share. The objective of directors and management
is to continue to enhance the sustainable growth of the core
business through growth in management fees.
I would like to thank our 32 staff for their efforts and contribution
during the year. Clearer board driven objectives for the business
are giving greater focus. I welcome new staff with different
capabilities and experience who have recently joined us to assist
in achieving these broader objectives.
Finally, thank you to my fellow directors and the senior leadership
team. All have worked hard in the transition into a diversified
wealth advisor supporting self-directed and self-managing
sophisticated investors. We expect to see further improved
results in 2018-19.

Chairman’s Report C H A I R M A N ’ S R E P O R T | 3
April 2018 saw the recruitment and commencement of our inaugural Private Wealth Advisers.
New
Offering
Each of our advisers came to us with significant experience in dealing with high net worth individuals.
Central to the ability to scale up, is the evolution of our business model from being a product
transaction to creating something significant through Wealth Advisory by better understanding client’s
values and what is important to them. The focus of our first 3 months has been to engage with as many
of our existing clients as possible. We have evolved our general advice process in order that we can have
meaningful discussions regarding our client’s existing and potential portfolios. The initial conversations we are having are helping to
bring to light what our target market would expect in terms of service and expertise with the purpose of helping them achieve their
objectives.
It is of prime importance to really get to know our existing clients, not only so we can build enduring relationships but also so that we
can build a relevant advice model that will allow us to be more holistic with them. Uncovering and addressing more needs per client
will increase our value proposition to them, their families and their legacy.
Along with the recruitment of Private Wealth Advisers in NSW, VIC and QLD, we have commenced reshaping our operational support
functions and systems for the ongoing management and maintenance of our clients with the appointment of Private Wealth Associates.
This will enhance the client experience of having access to an adviser and their team.
Clime Asset Management Pty Limited AFSL 221146 currently has an application with ASIC to vary our licence to provide personal
advice on superannuation. Once approved, our advisers will be able to open up our conversations to include strategic advice. This
ability will open up our business and enable us to connect with more clients and broaden SMSF capability beyond Clime Super
Administration nationally. Whilst keeping abreast of the revelations being shared in the current Royal Commission, we are working on
fee for service based models as well as our value proposition for SMSF trustees and the identified needs of the sophisticated investor
overall.

Executive Team 6 | C I W 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T
I am very pleased to report that during FY18 Clime continued to
successfully implement its strategic plan to create and build out
a range of services to be provided to our direct client base and
broader target market. At this point, most of our services are
directed towards the trustees of self-managed superannuation
funds (SMSFs).
themselves through retirement. Whilst there is nothing wrong with
this, future governments will continue to make changes across
superannuation and taxation rules. These changes, the frantic
pace of change everywhere and an enduring low yield investment
environment, will require the self-funded to constantly monitor their
affairs or seek the support of ethical retiree consultants.
It is important to understand that SMSFs represent a massive
opportunity for a small company like Clime. The superannuation
industry measured through funds under management and advice
has continued to grow substantially in Australia. Recent estimates
suggest that total Australian superannuation assets exceed $2.6
trillion. Outside super, Australian households have an estimated
$1.5 trillion in investment assets (excluding the home).
Measured by assets, Australia now has the fourth largest retirement
system in the world. Further, Australia’s per capita income sits
comfortably inside the top 10% of world economies. We are
indeed a wealthy nation.
Whilst these observations and statistics are impressive it is
sobering to reflect that for the foreseeable future over 70% of
people who enter retirement will be dependent upon a full or part
Commonwealth public pension.
Those retirees in the community who are self-sufficient, through
super or non-super assets, will have an increasing burden to bear.
These people are and will increasingly be required to look after
The creation and now development of Clime Private Wealth (CPW)
has been strategically undertaken to provide a range of services
that include tactical, strategic, product and administrative solutions
to our clients. CPW fits nicely alongside our asset management
group to combine consulting services with product solutions.
To complete the service and create a one stop shop Clime now
partners with a range of quality product managers and service
providers.
At the time of writing this report, CPW has employed 5 highly
experienced wealth advisors working from our offices in Sydney,
Melbourne and Brisbane. Whilst it is relatively early days for CPW
we are encouraged by the feedback from clients, many of whom
have sought a deeper relationship with Clime.
Therefore, FY19 will be a consolidation period for CPW whose
success will not merely be measured by Funds Under Management
(FUM) or Assets Under Management (AUM) growth. Success will
be measured by client satisfaction and portfolio returns which, in
the main, will be generated from a balanced asset management
approach.
Managing Director’s Report M A N A G I N G D I R E C T O R ’ S R E P O R T | 7
In our quarterly updates through the ASX we have kept shareholders informed of our steady growth, product development, asset class
extension and extended service range. However, I would like to reiterate some of the milestones for the Clime Group for FY18.
•
•
•
•
•
•
The acquisition of CBG Asset Management Limited into Clime has proceeded smoothly and it is pleasing to report that CBG exceeded
the expectations that we set at the time of acquisition;
The creation of Clime Smaller Companies Fund in FY17 has resulted in strong returns of 22% in FY18 for our clients invested in this
fund and also for Clime who seeded the fund with $0.5 million;
The forming of a strategic partnership with Realm Investment House led to the strategic development of the Realm High Income Fund.
This is a closed end 5-year fund that is uniquely designed for the pension investment market;
The creation and then issue of a 4-year convertible note in Clime Capital Limited (CAM). The note was issued at a yield of 6.25% per
annum, has traded above issue price since listed and raised $21 million for CAM;
The launch of SMA products under mandate with FUM in this category is now $55 million as at 31 July 2018; and
The positive returns generated by our range of funds and external managers. It was pleasing to report that our managers generated
returns of about 10% for our balanced clients who invested across Australian and International equities, income and direct property
asset classes.
Clime has, for some period, utilised sophisticated marketing systems to ensure that our brand and views received wide coverage and
recognition. Today we have well over 40,000 people receiving our investment newsletters. Our brand is commonly associated with thought
leadership, education and value-based investment services that are delivered to the market place with “integrity, transparency and
conviction”.
The last year has seen Clime extend its client numbers, FUM and service capabilities. None of this could have been achieved without the
support and diligence of our staff. I acknowledge and thank them on behalf of all our shareholders.
John Abernethy
Managing Director
DID YOU KNOW?
During FY18, the Clime
Smaller Companies Fund
has returned 22%.
8 | C I W 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T
Clime’s investment approach evolved in June 2016 to more
directly align our strategy objectives with those of our customers.
This has now expanded to a multi-asset class objective-based
asset allocation framework of portfolio design. While a number
of aspects of Clime’s investment approach have changed over
these past two years, what remains unchanged is Clime’s
resolute focus on identifying compelling investment opportunities
and delivering strong results for our clients.
I’m pleased to report consistent strong results being achieved
across the underlying Clime and aligned manager component
strategies, both over financial year 2018 and the past two years
since commencing our journey of objective-based investing. I
provide a short summary of major asset class results below.
Australian Equity Growth
The key tenet of Clime’s Australian equity sub-portfolio approach
- finding meaningful growth outside of traditional large caps was
clearly demonstrated in portfolio results over FY 2018. The small
and mid-cap sub-portfolios delivered constructive results.
These strong results were echoed in the Clime Smaller
Companies Fund (CSCF). While the timeframe for strategy
evaluation is more closely aligned with a 5-year horizon as
opposed to a 1-year period, the CSCF made a pleasing start
for its first full year.
Another pleasing aspect of the financial year just past is the
welcoming of CBG Asset Management within the Clime Group.
The Clime CBG ‘All Cap Conviction’ strategy is a key element of
the journey that lies ahead for the business, as is the experience
and depth of talent they bring to the Clime Investment Team. FY
2018 saw very strong results produced by the Clime CBG Fund,
primarily driven by high quality mid- and small-caps.
International Equity Growth
Providing diversity as well as opportunity for amplified growth,
the Clime International Fund (CIF) delivered another year of
solid risk-adjusted total returns. Against a backdrop of broadly
elevated valuations, geopolitically driven uncertainties provided
opportunities to deploy capital through the judicious application
of our value-based investment approach.
Australian Income Strategies
After delivering a solid first six months, calendar year 2018
saw the prior period’s capital appreciation given back over
the second half of FY2018, resulting in an Australian Income
portfolio return equivalent to the income-component. The three-
year results for CAIF are consistent and marginally above its
stated investment objective.
Clime Group’s network of aligned ‘best of breed’ strategic
partners was expanded over the year to include Realm
Investment House, a specialist credit and RMBS manager.
Via the co-development of the Realm Capital Series 2018-1,
within Clime there now exists an added dimension to deliver a
foundation of regular income.
Australian Syndicated Unlisted Property
The network of aligned unlisted property managers was
expanded over the past 12 months, and Clime participated
in a number of raisings in select high-quality individual funds.
We continue to see high quality direct property, accessible via
syndicated unlisted funds, as an attractive opportunity set.
Clime’s investment objectives are aligned with our clients’
objectives and seek to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns.
Distilled to its essence, Clime’s investment approach comes
down to providing our clients with security in their investment
journey. This is captured in the Grow, Guard, Generate mantra.
The year just passed was a good one and, while global
uncertainties remain, I expect the year ahead to also offer a
range of attractive investment opportunities. Across Clime’s
multi-asset class objective based investment strategies, we
look forward to harnessing the diverse range of opportunities
in financial year 2019.
I thank you for your continuing support of Clime.

Ronni Chalmers - Executive Chairman
CBG Capital Limited
CBG Asset Management Limited (CBG)
is a successful Australian equities fund manager, founded in
2001. On 14 July 2017, CBG was acquired by Clime Investment
Management, and we believe that the combined resources of
the two companies offer the potential to facilitate even stronger
results going forward.
CBG is an active boutique manager with the objective of
maximising long term returns to investors through a balance
of capital growth and distributions. The CBG investment team
employs a proven, bottom-up investment process. CBG
manages a diversified portfolio of Australian listed equities with
generally between 40 and 60 stocks held.
The Australian equities market is heavily concentrated in the
largest capitalisation stocks. However, CBG’s mandate and
relative fund size allows it to invest more broadly and to have a
greater exposure to emerging companies.
CBG also has a longer term investment focus than most
investors, as evidenced by average historical turnover of 30-
40% per annum. This assists CBG to benefit from pricing
inefficiencies that result from the shorter term focus of the
market as a whole. CBG invests only in high quality companies,
which minimises the risk of permanent capital loss and ensures
the portfolios are highly liquid in nature. A key strength of the
team is the stock picking track record and in 2013 CBG won
the Golden Calf Award for best boutique fund manager at the
Australian Fund Manager Awards.
CBG is the investment manager for three products, namely
Clime CBG Australian Equities Fund (Wholesale), CBG Capital
Limited and CBG Australian Equities Fund (Retail).

Clime CBG Australian Equities Fund
(Wholesale)
The Clime CBG Australian Equities Fund (Wholesale) Fund was
launched in 2002. The objective of the Clime CBG Australian
Equities Fund (Wholesale) is to provide strong risk-adjusted total
returns over the medium to long-term (3+ years) by investing in
securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
We believe that in the short-term markets are inefficient and investors
are irrational and therefore that disciplined active management
can add value through the economic and market cycle. Over a
rolling three to five-year investment horizon we expect to achieve
a total return of 7% p.a. beyond the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The Fund aims to achieve a return higher than the broader market
benchmark (the S&P ASX200 Accumulation Index) while assuming
a similar level of total risk.
The Fund may be suitable for those seeking primarily capital growth,
with some supplementary income derived largely from dividends.
This is a wholesale fund and you must qualify as a sophisticated
investor, as defined by the Corporations Act, to invest.
CBG Capital Limited (ASX:CBC)
CBG Capital is an Australian equities Listed Investment
Company (LIC) that was listed on the ASX in December 2014.
The purpose of the company is to provide investors with access
to a listed investment vehicle that actively manages a portfolio
of investments in listed Australian companies.
CBG Capital aims to pay a growing stream of fully franked
dividends twice per year. For more information about the
company please visit: www.cbgcapital.com.au
CBG Australian Equities Fund (Retail)
The CBG Australian Equities Retail Fund was launched in
2006. It has a similar mandate to the other CBG funds but is
available via platforms and may be suitable for retail investors
and financial planners.
CBG Asset Management 1 0 | C I W 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T
Report from the Board
Interest and dividend marginally decreased from $416,000 to
$371,000 this year. The Group’s interest income declined in
line with lower average interest rates and a lower average cash
balance held.
Depreciation and amortisation expense increased from $520,000
in FY17 to $603,000 in FY18. The increase was mainly due to
amortisation of intangible assets recognised on the acquisition
of CBG.
Administration expenses rose from $7.7 million to $8.7 million
mainly due to $0.7 million increase in headcount and $0.2 million
increase in redundancy costs.
We are pleased to present the results of Clime Investment
Management Limited and its controlled entities (“the Group”) for
the financial year ended 30 June 2018 (FY18).
The comparison with the prior year needs consideration of the
impact of the acquisition of CBG Asset Management Limited
(CBG). On 14 July 2017, the Group acquired 100% equity
of CBG. The results of CBG has been included in the Group
consolidation from the date of acquisition to 30 June 2018 and
it contributed positively to the overall Group result.
Key Highlights
For FY18 the Group recorded a net profit before tax of
$1,367,296 compared with $766,739 in FY17. Net profit after
tax attributable to members was $1,064,259 for FY18 compared
with $619,945 (excluding one-off tax write back of $1,941,185
following the de-merger of Clime Private Limited) in FY17.
Group revenue increased by 25%, from $8.7 million in FY17 to
$10.9 million in FY18. Investment Management fees increased
from $7.2 million to $8.6 million attributed to higher Funds
Under Management (FUM). The Group’s Gross FUM was $855
million as at 30 June 2018, compared with $584 million as at
30 June 2017.
The Group received performance fees during the year at
$1,081,205 (FY17: $115,887) while revenue from Investment
Software was $0.6 million compared to $0.7 million in FY17 in
Stocks In Value Pty Ltd.

Cashflow
Operating cash flow (pre impact of financial asset transactions) was positive $0.4 million ($0.2 million in FY17).
This was primarily a function of the following:
• An increase in cash receipts from operating activities of $1.8 million;
• An increase in cash payments on operating activities of $1.9 million; and
• A decrease in tax paid by $0.4 million.
The Group generated net cash inflow of $1.1 million in short term financial assets from trading financial assets carried on the balance
sheet compared to $1.7 million net inflow in FY17.
Thus, the net cash inflow from operating activities was $1.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million in comparison with the prior corresponding
period.
Cash flows from investing activities were positive at $0.7 million mainly on account of the CBG acquisition resulting in a net cash inflow
of $0.7 million.
Cash reserves were applied as follows:
• Share buy-back program of $0.1 million; and
• Payment of half year and full year dividends to shareholders of $1.7 million.
Outlook for 2019 Financial Year
Directors and management expect 2019 to be a year of further growth as the business transitions from funds management into a
diversified product and financial solutions services business. The Group has a clear focus on expanding the Clime Private Wealth
Division, maintaining solid investment returns across all portfolios, and developing investment solutions that meet the needs of self-
direct or managed superannuation funds.
The Group has recently moved steadily to building on its successful multi-asset product solution business with the employment of
five highly skilled wealth advisors. This initiative, the strengthening funds management team and the building of strategic alliances
with specialist technical advice providers, ensures the Group can present as a one stop wealth and/or superannuation solution for
our clients.

Review of operations
In accordance with the relief provided by Legislative Instrument 2016/188 issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission,
the Company is not required to reproduce information required in the Directors’ Report if it has been included elsewhere in the Annual Report.
As such, for a detailed Review of Operations of the Company, please refer to Report from the Board beginning on page 10.
Significant changes in state of affairs
The Group acquired 100% share capital of CBG Asset Management Ltd (CBG) on 14 July 2017. The acquisition cost was $3,625,000
comprising $3,250,000 on completion and $375,000 in 12 months based on the fulfilment of certain warranties relating to funds under
management retention and delivery of agreed outcomes. On 16th July 2018 the Group issued 375,001 ordinary shares at a deemed issue
price of 50 cents per share as final settlement of the deferred consideration for the acquisitions of CBG.
There was no other significant change in the Group’s state of affairs during the financial year other than as disclosed in the financial statements.
Subsequent events
A final fully franked dividend for the year ended 30 June 2018 of 1.5 cents per share, totalling $852,725 has been declared by the directors.
This provision has not been reflected in the accounts.
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the
operations of the economic entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the economic entity in future financial years.
Future developments
The Company will continue to pursue investment management activities – primarily investing in equities listed on the Australian and international
securities exchanges.
The Company’s future performance is dependent on the performance of the Company’s investments. In turn, the performance of these
investments is impacted by company-specific and prevailing industry conditions. In addition, a range of external factors including economic
growth rates, interest rates, exchange rates and macro-economic conditions impact the overall equity market and these investments.
As such, we do not believe it is possible or appropriate to predict the future performance of the Company’s investments nor its mandates and
therefore, the Company’s performance.

Other key management personnel of the consolidated entity

B. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
Directors and other key management personnel
Remuneration packages are set at levels that are intended to attract and retain first class executives capable of managing the Group’s
diverse operations and achieving the Group’s strategic objectives. The remuneration packages of executives include a fixed component, a
performance based component and an equity based component.
The fixed portion of the package reflects the core performance of their duties. The executives may be given an incentive via a performance
based bonus (as determined by the remuneration committee) and certain executives may be entitled to commission payments commensurate
with the level of revenue they generate. Equity based remuneration can be made via the options issued to the executives under the Employee
Incentive Scheme (“EIS”).
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies and packages applicable to
the Board members and senior executives of the Group.
The Board’s remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties, responsibilities and the level of
performance and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.

Remuneration report - Audited (Continued)
B. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (Continued)
Directors
Fees and payments to Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Remuneration of
Independent Directors are determined by the full Board within the maximum amount approved by shareholders from time to time. The
payments to Independent Directors do not include retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation. Consultation with Independent
Directors outside their duties as Directors is treated as external consultation and is subject to additional fees by consent of the Board. The
Company has a policy that Independent Directors are not entitled to retirement benefits, may not participate in performance based incentives,
and may not participate in the EIS.
Directors’ Fees
The current base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 1 January 2016. The Independent Directors’ fees are inclusive of committee
fees.
Independent Directors’ fees are determined within an Independent Directors’ base remuneration pool, which is periodically recommended for
approval by shareholders. The Independent Directors’ base remuneration pool currently stands at $260,000 per annum.
Executive Directors’ remuneration
The executive remuneration framework has five components:
•
•
•
•
•
base pay and benefits;
commissions;
short-term performance incentives;
long-term incentives through participation in the Company’s EIS; and
other remuneration such as superannuation.
The combination of these comprises the Executive Directors’ total remuneration.
Base pay
Structured as a total remuneration package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the
executives’ discretion.
Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for senior executives is
reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the market.
Commissions
Sales commissions, if any, formed part of certain executive remuneration packages during the year, commensurate with the level of revenue
generated during the year.

B. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (Continued)
Short-term incentives (STI)
Executive Directors and key management personnel have target short-term incentive opportunities depending on the accountabilities of
respective roles and their impact on the organisation’s performance.
The intention of the STI plan is to recognise and reward the contributions and achievements of individuals for the achievement of their relevant
key performance indicators (“KPI’s”). Such KPI’s will generally include measures relating to both the Group and the relevant individual, and
may include financial, human resources, client service, strategy and risk measures where appropriate. The measures are chosen such that
they directly align the individual’s reward to the KPI’s of the Group and to its strategy and performance.
Each year the Remuneration Committee considers the appropriate targets and key performance indicators to link the short term incentive plan
and the level of payout if targets are met. This includes setting any maximum payout under the STI plan, and minimum levels of performance
to trigger payment of the STI. The Remuneration Committee also retains the capacity to pay discretionary bonuses subject to the executives’
respective performances during the year.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2018
1. Corporate information
Clime Investment Management Limited (the Company) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The address of its registered office
and principal place of business is Level 7, 1 Market Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Australia. The principal activities of the Company and its
subsidiaries (“the Group”) are described in note 26(a).
The financial statements of Clime Investment Management Limited for the year ended 30 June 2018 were authorised for issue in accordance
with a resolution of the directors on 21 August 2018 and covers the consolidated entity consisting of Clime Investment Management Limited
and its subsidiaries as required by the Corporations Act 2001.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The financial statements include the consolidated entity consisting of Clime Investment Management Limited and its subsidiaries. Clime
Investment Management Limited is a publicly listed company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Corporations Act 2001,
Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial
statements, the Group is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards (AASs) and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards
Board (‘AASB’). Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of Group comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting
Standards Board that are mandatory and relevant to the operations and effective for the current reporting period.
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current reporting period that are relevant to the
Group include:
i.
ii.
AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses. The
consolidated entity has adopted AASB 2016-1 from 1 July 2017. The amendments to AASB 112 ‘Income Taxes’ clarify the requirements
on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.
2016-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107. The consolidated entity has
adopted AASB 2016-2 from 1 July 2017. The amendments to AASB 107 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ require the disclosure of changes
in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of
available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss at the end
of each reporting period and certain classes of property, plant and equipment.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented
in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S | 3 7
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(a) Basis of preparation (Continued)
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating
the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes in to account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take
those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at measurement date.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Equivalent of International Financial Reporting Standards requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant
to the financial statements are disclosed in note 3.
(b) Principles of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled
by the Company and its subsidiaries. Clime Investment Management Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial
statements as the “Group” or the “Consolidated Entity”. Control is achieved when the Company:
•
•
•
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of
the three elements of control listed above.
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights
that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control
ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group (refer to note 2(f)).
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group
companies are eliminated on consolidation. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their
accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
and statement of financial position respectively.
(ii) Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between
20% and 50% of the voting rights and the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity. Investments in
associates are accounted in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at
cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition (refer to note
13).
The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition
movements in reserves is recognised in the statement of changes in equity. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against
the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends received or receivable from associates in the consolidated financial statements reduce the
carrying amount of the investment.

(b) Principles of consolidation (Continued)
(ii) Associates (Continued)
When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables,
the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are stated net of the
amounts of goods and services tax paid. Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
(i) Dividend income (excluding dividends received from associates)
Dividend income is recorded in the profit or loss on an accrual basis when the Group obtains control of the right to receive the dividend.
(ii) Services income
Fees and commissions that relate to specific transactions or events are recognised as revenue in the period that the services are provided.
When they are charged for services provided over a period, they are recognised as revenue on an accrual basis as the services are provided.
(iii) Investment education and software
The Group operates and distributes the online, web-based equity valuation tool, Stocks in Value. Client subscriptions comprise both online
access to the valuation tool as well as access to member training and education services over the period of subscription. Revenue received
in respect of client subscriptions is recognised on an accrual basis and amortised over the period of the subscription.
(iv) Interest income
Interest income is recorded in the profit or loss when earned on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. The effective interest
method uses the effective interest rate which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the
financial asset.
(d) Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the notional income
tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or
liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative
amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain
temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to
these temporary differences 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 assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and for unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income and equity are also recognised
directly in other comprehensive income and equity, respectively.
Clime Investment Management Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation legislation for the whole
of the financial year. Clime Investment Management Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidated group. These entities are taxed as a
single entity.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(e) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance
leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the
minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long term payables.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding.
The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are
depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the period of the 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 consumed. Contingent rentals arising under
operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate
benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more
representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
(f) Business combinations
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all acquisitions of assets (including business combinations) regardless of whether
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, shares issued or liabilities incurred or
assumed at the date of exchange. Where equity instruments are issued in an acquisition, the value of the instruments is their published market
price as at the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price at the date of exchange is
an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value. Transaction
costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as
incurred.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values
at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of
the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer to note 2(m)). If the cost of acquisition is less than the
fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the profit or loss, but only after a reassessment
of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their net present value as
at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could
be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
(g) Impairment of assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject
to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets
are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts, if any, are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of
financial position.
(i) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less allowance for doubtful debts and
have a repayment terms between 30 and 90 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance
for doubtful receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to
the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the allowance is recognised in the profit or loss.
(j) Investments and other financial assets
The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-
to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were
acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial
recognition. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term or if so designated
by management. The policy of management is to designate a financial asset if there exists the possibility it will be sold in the short term and
the asset is subject to frequent changes in fair value. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.
Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of
the reporting date.
The Group’s listed trading investments and its unlisted investments (excluding equity accounted investments) are classified as financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They
arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of selling the receivable. They are included
in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance date which are classified as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group’s
management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this
category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of
the investment within 12 months of the reporting date.
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S | 4 1
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(j) Investments and other financial assets (Continued)
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and
the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Realised
and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category
are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-
monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity in the available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve. When
securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the profit or loss as gains
and losses from investment securities.
The fair values of quoted investments are determined by reference to their quoted market price, as quoted on its primary stock exchange on
the day of valuation, or an alternative basis if deemed more appropriate. Given the size and nature of the Group’s listed investments, however,
the closing bid price may not always be the most appropriate basis for determining fair value. The Directors will consider the valuations of
each of the Group’s listed investments in accordance with this accounting policy at each reporting date.
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is
considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative
loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset
previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss
on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale investments are not reversed through the profit or loss.
(k) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Refer to note 2(j) for further information.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted securities) is determined using alternative
valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each
reporting date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques,
such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are considered to approximate their fair values. The fair
value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest
rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
(l) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical 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 Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs
and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
4 2 | C I W 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(l) Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
Depreciation of assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over
their estimated useful lives, as follows:
•
Plant and equipment
3-20 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.
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 (note 2(g)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are included in profit or loss. When
revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.
(m) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the
acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on
acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or group of cash-generating units)
that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any
impairment loss for the goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity
include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
(ii) Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment
losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method
are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
(iii) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the
acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation
and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.
(iv) Investment Management contracts and relationships
Investment Management contracts have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of investment management contracts over their estimated useful
lives (which vary from 10 to 15 years). Investment Management contracts are tested for impairment annually.
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S | 4 3
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(m) Intangible assets (Continued)
(v) Software licence, customer relationship and customer list
Software licence, customer relationships and customer lists have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation
and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the software licence, customer relationship and
customer list over their useful life of 3 to 10 years. Software license, customer relationship and customer list are tested for impairment annually.
(n) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(o) Employee benefits
(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the
reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be
paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities recognised in respect of long service leave are measured as the present value of the estimate
future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
(ii) Bonus plans
A liability for employment benefits in the form of bonus plans is recognised when there is no realistic alternative but to settle the liability and at
least one of the following conditions is met:
•
•
•
there are formal terms in the plan for determining the amount of the benefit;
the amounts to be paid are determined before the time of completion of the financial statements; or
past practice gives clear evidence of the amount of the obligation.
Liabilities for bonus plans are expected to be settled within 12 months and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when they are
settled.
(iii) Superannuation
Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(iv) Employee benefit on-costs
Employee benefit on-costs, including payroll tax, are recognised and included in employee benefit liabilities and costs when the employee
benefits to which they relate are recognised as liabilities.
(v) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Clime Investment Management Limited Employee Incentive Scheme.
Employee Incentive Scheme (EIS)
The Clime Investment Management Limited Employee Incentive Scheme (EIS) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual
General Meeting held in October 2007.
4 4 | C I W 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(o) Employee benefits (Continued)
The EIS provides an opportunity for eligible employees, as determined by the Board from time to time, to purchase shares in the Company
via the provision of an interest-free, non-recourse loan. Shares issued in accordance with the EIS are subject to certain restrictions for the
duration of the loan, including continued employment with the Company and share transfer locks. Upon the expiration of the loan term, and
the repayment of the outstanding loan balance by relevant employees, the shares become unconditional. Due to certain aspects of the EIS
- specifically the share transfer locks and non-recourse nature of the loans - the Company is required to classify shares issued under the EIS
as ‘in-substance options’ in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment.
As such, the underlying instruments, consisting of the outstanding employee loans and the issued fully paid ordinary shares, are not recognised
in the financial statements. Instead, the fair value of the ‘in-substance options’ granted is recognised as an employee benefit expense with
a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised on a straight-line
basis over the term of the loans.
The fair value of the ‘in-substance options’ at grant date is determined using a binomial distribution to statistically estimate the value of the
benefits granted. The valuation model takes into account the share issue price, the term of the loan, the current price and expected volatility
of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the loan.
In order to recognise the impact of employee departures and the resultant early termination of their respective loan agreements, at each
balance date the Company revises its estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately become unconditional. The employee benefit
expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate.
Following the expiration of the term of the loan, any repayment received from employees in respect of the amortised loan balance is recognised
in contributed equity in the statement of financial position. The balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those shares is also
transferred to contributed equity.
To the extent that an employee chooses not to repay the amortised loan balance at the completion of the loan term (i.e. where the value of the
shares is less than the amortised loan balance), then the Company will buy back those shares and the balance of the share-based payments
reserve relating to those shares is transferred to a lapsed option reserve.
It should be noted that the application of this accounting policy will result in differences between the number of shares on issue as disclosed
in the Group’s statutory reports, and the number of shares on issue as advised to the Australian Securities Exchange.
(p) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the
Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the
reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash
flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value
of money is material).
(q) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual
agreement.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the
acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S | 4 5
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(q) Financial liabilities and equity instruments (Continued)
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or
loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Financial liabilities are classified as ‘other financial liabilities’. Other financial liabilities, including borrowings are initially measured at fair value,
net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised costs using the effective interest method, with
interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the
financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(r) Dividends
A liability is recorded for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the period but not distributed at reporting date.
(s) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity
other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for bonus elements
in ordinary shares issued during the period.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares
assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to potential dilutive ordinary shares.
(t) Goods and service tax
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an
asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing
activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.
(u) New accounting standards and interpretations for application in future periods
The AASB has issued certain new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that are not mandatory for 30 June 2018 reporting
period and hence have not been early adopted by the Group. The Group’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are
relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:
4 6 | C I W 2 0 1 8 A N N U A L R E P O R T
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(u) New accounting standards and interpretations for application in future periods (Continued)
(i) AASB 9: Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments
This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This
standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial
asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance
with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity’s own credit risk is to be presented in
other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 ‘Hedge Accounting’ supersedes the general hedge
accounting requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align with
risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks.
The directors are still in the process of assessing the full impact of the application of AASB 9 on the Group’s financial statements and it is not
practicable to provide a reasonable financial estimate of the effect until the directors complete the detailed review. However, the directors do
not anticipate significant impact of the application of AASB 9. The directors do not intend to early adopt the standard.
(ii) AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is expected to be applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard provides a
single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts (either written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with the separate
performance obligations within the contract; determine the transaction price, adjusted for the time value of money excluding credit risk;
allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct
good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when each performance obligation
is satisfied. Credit risk will be presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to revenue.
For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods. For services, the performance
obligation is satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to customers. For performance obligations
satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine how much revenue should be recognised as the
performance obligation is satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in an entity’s statement of financial position as a contract liability,
a contract asset, or a receivable, depending on the relationship between the entity’s performance and the customer’s payment. Sufficient
quantitative and qualitative disclosure is required to enable users to understand the contracts with customers; the significant judgments made
in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.
The directors are still in the process of assessing the full impact of the application of AASB 15 on the Group’s financial statements and it is not
practicable to provide a reasonable financial estimate of the effect until the directors complete the detailed review. However, the directors do
not anticipate significant impact of the application of AASB 15. The directors do not intend to early adopt the standard.
(iii) AASB 16 Leases
ASAB 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of leases arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both
lessees and lessors.
The accounting model for lessees will require lessees to recognize all leases on balance sheet, except for short-term leases and leases of low
value assets.
AASB 16 applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. As at 30 June 2018, the Group has non-cancellable operating
lease commitment of $330,307 (note 28). A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangement will meet the definition of a lease under
AASB16, and hence the Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases unless they qualify
for low value or short-term leases upon the application of AASB 16. The directors currently anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 is unlikely
to have a significant impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors of the Company are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The
resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period
in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both
the current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year are discussed below.
Estimated impairment of goodwill, investment management contracts, software licences and customer relationships
The Group tests annually whether goodwill, investment management contracts, software licenses and customer relationships have suffered
any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2(m). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been
determined based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair values of cash-generating units have been determined in accordance with the
Directors’ assessments of their values based on arms’ length transactions between knowledgeable and willing parties on the basis of the best
information available. In determining these amounts, the Directors have considered the outcomes of recent transactions for similar assets
and businesses.
The Directors’ assessments of the fair values of cash-generating units are subject to an element of subjectivity concerning the selection of
appropriate benchmarks and transactions. A material adverse change in one or more of the underlying variables applied in the estimates of
fair values, therefore, may impact their recoverable amounts and result in alternative outcomes for the purposes of impairment testing.
4. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to various direct and indirect financial risks, including market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and
fair values.
Risk management is carried out by senior management under policies and strategies approved by the Board and Audit Committee. The
Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
(a) Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to other price risks (see (i) below) and interest rate risks (see (ii) below). Unfavourable economic
conditions both domestically and globally can have a significant impact on the investment returns of the investments and investment portfolios.
(i) Other price risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to equity securities price risk. This arises from the following:
•
•
Investments held by the Group as direct investments; and
Exposure to adverse movements in equity prices which may have negative flow-on effects to the revenue derived from the management
of clients’ investment portfolios.
The Group seeks to reduce market risk by adhering to the prudent investment guidelines of its Investment Committee. These guidelines
include ensuring that the Group is not overly exposed to any one security and/or sector of the market, and must operate within set parameters.

Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis
The table below summarises the pre-tax impact of both a general fall and general increase in market prices by 5% at the end of the reporting
period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the movements are spread equally over all assets in the investment and trading portfolios.

(ii) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because at balance date, the Group has a significant proportion of its assets held in interest-bearing
bank accounts and deposits at call. As such, the Group’s revenues and assets are subject to interest-rate risk to the extent that the cash rate
falls over any given period. Given that the Group does not have – nor has it ever had - any material interest-bearing borrowings/liabilities at
balance date, the Board and management do not consider it necessary to hedge the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis
The table below summarises the pre-tax impact on the Group’s profits due to both a decrease and increase in interest rates by 100 basis
points (one percentage point) at the end of the reporting period. The analysis is based on the assumption that the change is based on the
weighted average rate of interest on cash at bank and cash on deposit for the year (1.69% weighted average interest rate in 2018 and 1.80%
weighted average interest rate in 2017).

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has
adopted a policy of dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
The maximum credit risk of the Group in relation to cash and cash equivalents is the carrying amount and any accrued unpaid interest. The
average weighted maturity of the cash portfolio at any given time is no greater than 90 days. All financial assets that are not impaired or past
due are of good credit quality.
(ii) Trade and other receivables
The maximum credit risk of the Group in relation to trade and sundry receivables is their carrying amounts. This risk is largely mitigated by
automated systems in place which support collectability of debts on a timely basis.
F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S | 4 9
4. Financial risk management (Continued)
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the ability to close-out market positions.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group’s management and its Board actively review the liquidity position on
a regular basis to ensure the Group is always in a position to meet its debts and commitments on a timely basis.
(i) Maturities of financial assets and liabilities
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial assets and liabilities. The table has been
prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group is liable to meet its
obligations. The table includes both interests (where applicable) and principal cash flows. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest
date on which the Group may be required to pay.

(d) Fair value risk
(i) Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into
Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
•
•
•
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the assets or liability that are not
based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
All financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value comprise financial assets at fair value through profit
or loss.

Listed Investment in equity and preference securities and managed funds
When fair values of publicly traded equities and preference securities are based on quoted market prices in an active market, the instruments
are included within Level 1 of the hierarchy. The Group values these investments at closing prices at year end.
Unlisted managed funds
The Group invests in managed funds, which is not quoted in an active market. The Group considers the valuation techniques and inputs
used in valuing these funds as part of its due diligence prior to investing, to ensure they are reasonable and appropriate and therefore the Net
Asset Value (NAV) of these funds may be used as an input into measure their fair value. In measuring this fair value, consideration is also paid
to any transactions in the shares of the fund. Depending on the nature and level of adjustments needed to the NAV and the level of trading
in the fund, the Group classified these funds as Level 2.
Unlisted equity investments
The Group invests in public unlisted company which are not quoted in an active market. Transactions in such investments do not occur on a
regular basis. The Group used a combination of NAV method based on the value of the assets of the business less its liabilities adjusted for
fair value and market based valuation technique for valuing these positions. The Group classifies the fair value of these investments as Level 3.

The recoverable amounts of all cash generating units have been determined based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair values of cash
generating units have been determined in accordance with the Directors’ assessments of their values based on arms’ length transactions
between knowledgeable and willing parties on the basis of the best information available. In determining these amounts, the Directors have
considered the outcomes of recent transactions for similar assets and businesses.

(c) Terms and conditions
Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at shareholders’
meetings. In the event of winding up of the Company, ordinary shareholders rank after creditors and are fully entitled to any proceeds of
liquidation.
(d) On-market share buy-back
During the financial year ended 30 June 2018, Clime Investment Management Limited, in accordance with its on-market share buy-back
scheme, bought back 140,881 (2017: 446,850) shares. The number of shares bought back and cancelled was within the ‘10/12 limit’
imposed by s257B of the Corporations Act 2001, and as such, shareholder approval was not required. The shares were acquired at an
average price of 46.84 cents per share (2017: 52.58 cents per share). The total cost of $65,991 (2017: $235,140), including $150 (2017:
$168) of transaction costs, was deducted from contributed equity. The shares bought back in the current year were cancelled immediately.
(e) Employee Incentive Scheme (“EIS”)
As at 30 June 2018, there are 1,575,000 (2017: 1,575,000) EIS ‘in-substance’ options on issue. Share options granted under the Company’s
employee incentive scheme carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights. Refer to note 25(a) for a schedule of the movements in EIS
options on issue during the year.
(f) Capital Risk Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to
provide returns for shareholders, to maintain an optimal capital structure and to minimise the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the
capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares from time to time or
buy back its own shares.
The Group’s strategy is unchanged from 2017.

25. Share-based payments
(a) Employee Incentive Scheme (EIS)
The Clime Investment Management Limited Employee Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) was approved by shareholders at the Company’s Annual
General Meeting held on 25 October 2007.
The EIS provides an opportunity for eligible employees, as determined by the Board from time to time, to purchase shares in the Company
via the provision of an interest-free, non-recourse loan. Shares issued in accordance with the EIS are subject to certain restrictions for the
duration of the loan, including continued employment with the Company and share transfer locks. Upon the expiration of the loan term, and
the repayment of the outstanding loan balance by relevant employees, the shares become unconditional. Shares issued under the EIS rank
equally with other fully paid ordinary shares.
Due to certain aspects of the EIS - specifically the share transfer locks and non-recourse nature of the loans - the Company is required to
classify shares issued under the EIS as ‘in-substance options’ in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment. It should be noted that the
application of this accounting policy will therefore result in differences between the number of shares on issue as disclosed in the Company’s
statutory reports, and the number of shares on issue as advised to the Australian Securities Exchange.

* Includes 200,000 (2017: 200,000) in-substance options granted to the Managing Director approved by shareholders on 27th October 2017.
The weighted average contractual life of in-substance options outstanding at the end of the period was 1.05 years (2017 – 1.57 years).
The assessed fair value at grant date of in-substance options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to
vesting date. Fair values at grant date are determined by using a binomial distribution model to statistically estimate the future probability of
the in-substance options vesting and the amounts that these in-substance options would be worth. The valuation was performed as at the
grant date of each in-substance option issued.

TO THE MEMBERS OF CLIME INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LIMITED

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in

Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors’ Responsibilities for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
78
I N D E P E N D E N T A U D I T O R ’ S R E P O R T | 7 9
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
•
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in
our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up
to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
