a. Acquisition of Ensurance Capital Pty Ltd
(Ensurance Capital)
At a General Meeting of Shareholders held on 12
January 2015, the shareholders of the Company passed
a number of resolutions approving the acquisition to
acquire 100% of the issued capital of Ensurance Capital.
On 6 February 2015 the Company lodged the Prospectus
for the capital raising of the Ensurance Capital
acquisition as approved at the General Meeting. The
offer is 6,818,182 Shares at an issue price of 22 cents
each Share to raise a minimum subscription amount
of $1,500,000. Oversubscriptions of up to a further
2,272,727 Shares at an issue price of 22 cents each
Share to raise a further $500,000 may be accepted.
The insurance brokerage, Savill Hicks Corp Pty Ltd
(SHC), has operated nationally for over 23 years with
the complementary underwriting agency having been
established in 2013. Ensurance IT Pty Ltd (Ensurance IT),
the IT business, has developed an online platform which
has enabled the business to execute real-time insurance
sales online for the past 6 years. Ensurance IT is now in the
process of developing a new platform, taking advantage of
its knowledge, experience and the availability of improved
technology to enable the Ensurance Group to not only
conduct its own existing insurance brokerage business
more efficiently but also to assist in marketing the platform

Directors’ report& CONTROLLED ENTITIES - ABN 76 149 278 759 (Previously known as Parker Resources Limited)ANNUAL REPORT 20155.2. Financial Review
a. Operating results
Ensurance Ltd (“the Group”) delivered a FY15 Loss
before tax of $4,185,751 (2014: $19,188 profit),
representing a decline in profitability. However this
figure includes an accounting entry of “corporate
transaction accounting expense”, as a result of the
reverse takeover of $3,159,454. The operational loss
of the Group was $907,999 against a Profit in FY14 of
$190,886. The decrease in profit was due to several
main factors;
Increase in Employee Benefits (Wages) of $438,190
(mainly software development)
Incurring abnormal Merger Costs of $174,685
(Legal, Consultants, and Accountancy)
Increase in Hardware Costs for Software
Development of $117,551
Decrease of Other Income of $249,531
results of those operations have not been included in this
report as the Directors believe that the inclusion of such
information would be likely to result in unreasonable
prejudice to the Group.
5.5. Environmental Regulations
The Group’s operations are not subject to significant
environmental regulations in the jurisdictions it operates in,
namely Australia.
The Directors have considered the enacted National
Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act)
which introduced a single national reporting framework for
the reporting and dissemination of information about the
greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and
energy use and production of corporations. At the current
stage of development, the Directors have determined that
the NGER Act has no effect on the Company for the current,
nor subsequent, financial year. The Directors will reassess
this position as and when the need arises.

13.2. Principles used to determine the nature and
amount of remuneration
The remuneration policy of the Company has been
designed to ensure reward for performance is competitive
and appropriate to the result delivered. The framework
aligns executive reward with the creation of value for
shareholders, and conforms to market best practice.
The Board ensures that Director and executive reward
satisfies the following key criteria for good reward
government practices:
Competitiveness and reasonableness;
Acceptability to the shareholder;
Performance;
Transparency; and
Capital management.
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase
the direct positive relationship between shareholders’
investment objectives and Directors’ and Executives’
performance. Currently, this is facilitated through the issues
of options to the majority of Directors and Executives
11
The Company believes this policy will be effective in
increasing shareholder wealth. The Board’s policy for
determining the nature and amount of remuneration for
Board members and Senior Executive of the Company
is as follows:
a. Executive Directors and other Senior Executives
Executives receive a base salary (which is based on
factors such as length of service and experience),
retirement benefits, options and performance incentives.
The Board reviews Executive packages annually by
reference to the Company’s performance, executive
performance, and comparable information from industry
sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.
Executives are also entitled to participate in the
employee share and option arrangement.
b. Non-Executive Directors
The Company’s Constitution provides that Directors are
entitled to be remunerated for their services as follows:
The total aggregate fixed sum per annum to be paid
to the Directors (excluding salaries of executive
Directors) from time to time will not exceed the sum
determined by the Shareholders in general meeting
and the total aggregate fixed sum will be divided
between the Directors as the Directors shall determine
and, in default of agreement between them, then in
equal shares.
The Directors’ remuneration accrues from day to day.
The total aggregate fixed sum per annum which may
be paid to non-executive Directors is $250,000. This
amount cannot be increased without the approval of
the Company’s Shareholders.
The Directors are entitled to be paid reasonable
travelling, accommodation and other expenses incurred
by them respectively in or about the performance of
their duties as Directors.
c. Fixed Remuneration
Other than statutory superannuation contribution, no
retirement benefits are provided for Executive and Non-
Executive Directors of the Company. To align Directors’
interests with shareholder interests, the Directors are
encouraged to hold shares in the company.

& CONTROLLED ENTITIES - ABN 76 149 278 759 (Previously known as Parker Resources Limited)ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Statement of significant accounting policies
Note 1
These are the consolidated financial statements and notes of Ensurance Limited (Ensurance or the Company) and controlled
entities (collectively the Group). Ensurance is a company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in Australia.
The separate financial statements of Ensurance, as the parent entity, have not been presented with this financial report as
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2015 by the directors of the Company.
a. Basis of preparation
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the
consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation
of these financial statements are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
i. Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AAS Board) and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and
the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) set out accounting policies that the AAS Board has concluded would result in a
financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.
Compliance with AASBs ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
ii. Financial position
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified,
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal
business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Group incurred a loss for the year of $4,185,751 (2014: $19,188 profit) and a net cash in-flow of $2,041,348 (2014:
$359,235 in-flow). The net assets of the Group have increased from 30 June 2014 by $2,208,273 to $2,598,787 at 30 June
2015 (2014: $390,514). As at 30 June 2015, the Group's cash and cash equivalents increased from 30 June 2014 by
$2,037,774 to $2,485,532 at 30 June 2015 (2014: $447,758) and had working capital of $689,726 (2014: $(1,254,194)
working capital deficit).
Based on a cash flow forecast, the Group has sufficient working capital to fund its mandatory obligations for the period
ending 12 months from the date of this report. Should the Group be unable to generate sufficient funds from its operations
or it is unable to raise sufficient capital, the planned operations and software development may have to be amended. The
Board is confident in securing sufficient additional capital to fund the operations and software development program. The
Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation to be appropriate based on forecast cash flows and confidence in
raising additional funds.
iii. Reverse acquisition
Ensurance (formerly Parker Resources Limited) is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The Company completed the
legal acquisition of Ensurance Capital Pty Ltd (Ensurance Capital) on 5 May 2015.
Ensurance Capital (the legal subsidiary) was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes as it has obtained control
over the operations of the legal acquirer Ensurance (accounting subsidiary). Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements of Ensurance have been prepared as a continuation of the financial statements of Ensurance Capital. Ensurance
Capital (as the deemed acquirer) has accounted for the acquisition of Ensurance from 5 May 2015. The comparative
information presented in the consolidated financial statements is that of Ensurance Capital.
The impact of the reverse acquisition on each of the primary statements is as follows:
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income:
for the year to 30 June 2015 comprises twelve months of Ensurance Capital and the period from 5 May 2015 to 30
June 2015 of Ensurance; and
for the comparative period comprises 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 of Ensurance Capital.

for the comparative period comprises 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 of Ensurance Capital's cash transactions.
iv. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have significant effect on the consolidated financial
statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in note 1o.
v. Comparative figures
Where required by AASBs comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current
financial year.
Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its
financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in
addition to the minimum comparative financial statements is presented.
b. Principles of consolidation
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial
statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated
Group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
i. Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on
which control is transferred to the Group. Control exists when the Group is exposed to variable returns from another entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire; plus
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree;
less
the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts
are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Note 1
Statement of significant accounting policies
Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group
incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is
classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to
the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
ii. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the
Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even
if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 21 Controlled Entities on page 45
of the financial statements
iii. Loss of control
Upon the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests
and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is
recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, than such interest is measured at
fair value at the date control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-
sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.
iv. Transactions eliminated on consolidation
All intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions,
are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
c. Foreign currency transactions and balances
i. Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which
is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.
ii. Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured
at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured
at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss except where
deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive
income to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange
difference is recognised in the profit or loss.
iii. Group companies and foreign operations
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's
presentation currency are translated as follows:
assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency
translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the profit or loss in the period
in which the operation is disposed.

d. Taxation
Statement of significant accounting policies
Income tax
i.
The income tax expense / (income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax
expense/(income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as
well unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to
items recognised outside profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have
been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable
profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement
also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or
liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in
future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Where the Group receives the Australian Government's Research and Development Tax Incentive, the Group accounts for
the refundable tax offset under AASB 112. Funds are received as a rebate through the parent company's income tax return
and disclosed as such in Note 7 Income Tax, on page 35.
36.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
ii.
Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not
recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of
the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown
inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or
liability in the balance sheet.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
e. Fair Value
i. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending
on the requirements of the applicable AASB.
Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly
unforced transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Note 1
Statement of significant accounting policies
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine
fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the
market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most
advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts
from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction
costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset
in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial
instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the respective
note to the financial statements.
ii. Fair value hierarchy
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which
categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is
significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Measurements based on quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement
date.
Measurements based on inputs other
than quoted prices included in Level 1
that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly.
Measurements based on unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all
significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more
significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
iii. Valuation techniques
The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available
to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the
asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the
following valuation approaches:
Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for
identical or similar assets or liabilities.
Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single
discounted present value.
Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the
asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those
techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are
developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions
that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs
for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such
assumptions are considered unobservable.

f. Plant and equipment
Statement of significant accounting policies
i. Recognition and measurement
Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and carried at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below)
and impairment losses (see accounting policy 1h Impairment of non-financial assets).
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets
includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working
condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are
located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the
recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows
that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been
discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Where parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of
plant and equipment.
ii. Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is
probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured
reliably. Any costs of the day-to-day servicing of plant and equipment are recognised in the income statement as an
expense as incurred.
iii. Depreciation
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated
group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the
shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually for appropriateness. The depreciation rates used for the current
and comparative period are:
Fixtures, furniture, and equipment
Plant and equipment
2015
%
2014
%
11.25 – 37.50
11.25 – 37.50
25.00 – 37.50
25.00 – 37.50
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
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.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal
with the carrying amount of plant and equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss.
g. Non-current assets held for disposal
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair
value less costs to sell, where the carrying amount will be recovered principally through sale as opposed to continued use. No
depreciation or amortisation is charged against assets classified as held for sale.
Classification as "held for sale" occurs when: management has committed to a plan for immediate sale; the sale is expected to
occur within one year from the date of classification; and active marketing of the asset has commenced. Such assets are
classified as current assets.
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity, being a cash-generating unit (or a group of cash generating units), that
either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and: represents a separate major line of business or geographical
area of operations; is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of
operations; or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with the view to resale.
Impairment losses are recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of an asset (or disposal group) classified as held for
sale to fair value less costs to sell. Any reversals of impairment recognised on classification as held for sale or prior to such
classification are recognised as a gain in profit or loss in the period in which it occurs.

Impairment of non-financial assets
Statement of significant accounting policies
Note 1
h.
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets (see accounting policy 1d) are
reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then
the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from
other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, unless the asset has previously been
revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any
excess recognised through the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of
the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not
generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has
decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been
recognised.
i. Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
i.
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial
assets are derecognised if the Group's contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group
transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group's obligations specified on the contract expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to
the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as
appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
ii. Non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise investments in equity securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash
equivalents and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through
profit or loss, any directly attributable transactions costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial
instruments are measured as described below.
iii. Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents
(1)
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of nine months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within
short-borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of financial position.
Loans
(2)
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Loans are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end
of the reporting period.

for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Note 1
Statement of significant accounting policies
Trade and other receivables
(3)
Receivables are usually settled within 60 days. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the
reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Collectability of trade and other receivables are
reviewed on an ongoing basis. An impairment loss is recognised for debts which are known to be uncollectible. An
impairment provision is raised for any doubtful amounts (see also 1i.vii).
Trade and other payables
(4)
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year
which are unpaid and stated at their amortised cost. The amounts are unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day
terms.
Share capital
(5)
Ordinary issued capital is recorded at the consideration received. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of
ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.
Ordinary issued capital bears no special terms or conditions affecting income or capital entitlements of the
shareholders.
iv. Amortised cost
Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition
less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the
difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
v. Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to
determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar
instruments and option pricing models.
vi. Effective interest method
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is
equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the
financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net
cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense
item in profit or loss.
vii. Impairment
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired.
A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative
effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.
An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its
carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis.
All impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was
recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in the income statement.
viii. Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to cash flow expires or the asset is transferred to another
party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the
asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The
difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair
value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Statement of significant accounting policies
ix. Finance income and expenses
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested (including available-for-sale financial assets), gains on the
disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
Financial expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, unwinding of
discounts on provisions, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and impairment
losses recognised on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest
method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as
the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the
period in which they are incurred.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
j. Employee benefits
i. Short-term benefits
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of
the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to the reporting date and are
calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at the
reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.
Non-accumulating non-monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services,
are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the benefits are taken by the employees.
ii. Other long-term benefits
The Group's obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits other than defined benefit plans is the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs; that
benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate
is the Reserve Bank of Australia's cash rate at the report date that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the
Company's obligations. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
iii. Retirement benefit obligations: Defined contribution superannuation funds
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions onto a
separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to
defined contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred.
iv. Termination benefits
When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when
the Group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for
restructuring pursuant to AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the costs include
termination benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees affected is known, the obligation for termination
benefits is measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are
expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are
measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the
same basis as other long-term employee benefits.
v. Equity-settled compensation
The Group operates an employee share option plan. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period
during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is
measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options
were granted. The amount recognised is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where
forfeiture is only due to market conditions not being met.

Statement of significant accounting policies
Note 1
k. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will results and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Leases
l.
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal
ownership, are transferred to entities in the Group are classified as finance leases.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely that the Group will
obtain ownership of the asset or over the term of the lease.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised in the
income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the
lease term.
m. Revenue and other income
Interest revenue is recognised in accordance with note 1i.ix Finance income and expenses.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts
and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated as the provision of financing and is
discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the
amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of GST (note 1d.ii Goods and Services Tax (GST)).
n. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. All
operating segments' results are regularly reviewed by the Group's Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
o. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Management discusses with the Board the development, selection and disclosure of the Group's critical accounting policies and
estimates and the application of these policies and estimates. The estimates and judgements 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.
i. Key judgements and estimates – Business Combinations
Refer note 3 Business combinations on page 33.
34.
ii. Key Estimate – Taxation
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of
directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company as they pertain to
current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for pending or
future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors' best estimate, pending an assessment
by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer Note 7 Income Tax on page 35.
36.
iii. Key Estimate —Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life
intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible
assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit
or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed
annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the
amortisation method or period.

Statement of significant accounting policies
Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when it is
probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; the consolidated entity is
able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and intent to complete the development and
its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of
their expected benefit, being their finite life of four years.
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their
expected benefit, being their finite life of four years.
p. New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations (AASB) issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB Board) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new, revised or
amending AASBs that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The adoption of these AASBs did not have any
significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group. The following AASBs are most relevant to the Group:
i. AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The Group has applied AASB 2012-3 from 1 July 2014. The amendments add application guidance to address
inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation, by clarifying the
meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off'; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems may be
considered to be equivalent to net settlement.
ii. AASB 2012-3 Amendments to AASB 136 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
The Group has applied AASB 2013-3 from 1 July 2014. The disclosure requirements of AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' have
been enhanced to require additional information about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of
impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposals. Additionally, if measured using a present value technique, the
discount rate is required to be disclosed.
iii. AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (Parts A to C)
The Group has applied Parts A to C of AASB 2014-1 from 1 July 2014. These amendments affect the following standards:
AASB 2 Share-based Payments: clarifies the definition of 'vesting condition' by separately defining a 'performance condition'
and a 'service condition' and amends the definition of 'market condition'; AASB 3 Business Combinations: clarifies that
contingent consideration in a business combination is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in profit or loss irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is within the scope of AASB 9; AASB 8
Operating Segments: amended to require disclosures of judgements made in applying the aggregation criteria and clarifies
that a reconciliation of the total reportable segment assets to the entity's assets is required only if segment assets are
reported regularly to the chief operating decision maker; AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement: clarifies that the portfolio
exemption applies to the valuation of contracts within the scope of AASB 9 and AASB 139; AASB 116 Property, Plant and
Equipment and AASB 138 Intangible Assets: clarifies that on revaluation, restatement of accumulated depreciation will not
necessarily be in the same proportion to the change in the gross carrying value of the asset; AASB 124 Related Party
Disclosures: extends the definition of 'related party' to include a management entity that provides KMP services to the
entity or its parent and requires disclosure of the fees paid to the management entity; AASB 140 Investment Property:
clarifies that the acquisition of an investment property may constitute a business combination.
q. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
AASBs that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for
the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2015. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended AASBs, most
relevant to the Group, are set out below.
i. AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all
previous versions of AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement. AASB 9 introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be
measured at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows, which arise on specified dates and solely principal and interest. All other financial instrument assets
are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on
initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive
income (OCI).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the Year Ended 30 June 2015
Note 1
Statement of significant accounting policies
For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit
risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements
are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New
impairment requirements will use an 'expected credit loss' (ECL) model to recognise an allowance. Impairment will be
measured under a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since
initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The standard introduces additional new disclosures.
The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group.
ii. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. 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 Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group.

Business combinations
a. Ensurance Capital Pty Ltd
On 5 May 2015, Ensurance Limited (formerly Parker Resources Limited)(Ensurance), acquired 100% of the ordinary share
capital and voting rights of Ensurance Capital Pty Ltd (Ensurance Capital) as described in the prospectus issued 6 February
2015 and supplementary prospectus issued 8 April 2015.
Under AASB 3 Business Combinations (AASB 3) this is treated as a 'reverse acquisition', whereby the accounting acquirer is
deemed to be Ensurance Capital and Ensurance is deemed to be the accounting acquiree. Refer to the effect upon the basis
of preparation at note 1a.iii Reverse acquisition on page 21.
22.
b. Acquisition consideration
As consideration for the issued capital of Ensurance Capital, Ensurance paid $500,000 (cash consideration) and issued
30,000,000 shares to the shareholder of Ensurance Capital.
c. Fair value of consideration transferred
Under the principles of AASB 3, the transaction between Ensurance and Ensurance Capital is being treated as a reverse
acquisition. As such, the assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary (the accounting acquirer), being Ensurance Capital, are
measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts. The assets and liabilities of the legal parent (accounting acquiree),
being Ensurance are measured at fair value on the date of acquisition.
The consideration in a reverse acquisition is deemed to have been incurred by the legal subsidiary (Ensurance Capital) in
the form of equity instruments issued to the shareholders of the legal parent entity (Ensurance). The acquisition-date fair
value of the consideration transferred has been determined by reference to the fair value of the number of shares the legal
subsidiary (Ensurance Capital) would have issued to the legal parent entity Ensurance to obtain the same ownership
interest in the combined entity.
d. Goodwill (Corporate transaction accounting expense)
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the fair value of consideration transferred less the fair value of the
identified net assets of the legal parent, being Ensurance. Details of the transaction are as follows:
Fair value of consideration transferred
Fair value of assets and liabilities held at acquisition date:
Cash
Trade and other receivables
Other current assets
Trade and other payables
Other liabilities
Fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed
Goodwill (Corporate transaction accounting expense)

The goodwill calculated above represents goodwill in Ensurance, however this has not been recognised as Ensurance (the
accounting acquiree) is not a business. Instead the deemed fair value of the interest in Ensurance Capital issued to existing
Ensurance shareholders to effect the combination (the consideration for the acquisition of the public shell company) was
recognised as an expense in the income statement. This expense has been presented as a "Corporate transaction
accounting expense" on the face of the consolidated statement profit or loss and comprehensive income".

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses have not been brought to account at 30 June 2015 because the directors
do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits
will only be obtained if:
i.
the Group derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the
deductions for the loss to be realised;
ii. the company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and
iii. no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Group in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss.

During the 2015 financial year the Group's unissued shares under option and partly-paid shares were anti-dilutive.
e. As noted in 1a.iii, the equity structure in these consolidated financial statements following the reverse acquisition reflects the
equity structure of Ensurance, being the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree), including the equity interests issued by
Ensurance to effect the business combination.
i.
In calculating the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator of the EPS calculation) for the
year ended 30 June 2015:
(1) the number of ordinary shares outstanding from 1 July 2014 to 4 May 2015 ( deemed acquisition date) are computed on
the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares of Ensurance Capital, (legal acquiree / accounting acquirer)
outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement; and
(2) the number of ordinary shares outstanding from 5 May 2015 to the end of year shall be the actual number of ordinary
shares of Ensurance outstanding during that period.
ii. The basic EPS for the period ended 2014 shall be calculated by dividing:
(1) the profit or loss of the Ensurance Capital attributable to ordinary shareholders in each of those periods by
(2) the Ensurance Capital's historical weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding multiplied by the exchange
ratio established in the acquisition agreement.

Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.
The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts
accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of
service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave
balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified
as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the
event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.
The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet
vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

d. Capital Management
The Directors' objectives when managing capital are to ensure that the Group can maintain a capital base so as to maintain
investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors
monitors the availability of liquid funds in order to meet its short term commitments. It does this by ensuring that its
current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) remains in excess of 1:1.
Current ratio
2015
1.40
2014

The focus of the Group's capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the
Group in respect to its operations, software developments programmes, and corporate overheads. The Group's strategy is
to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating
appropriate capital raisings as required.
The Group is subject to externally imposed capital requirements under the FSRA Legislation. This legislation requires that
the insurance assets of the entity be equal to or exceed the insurance liabilities. Refer also note 12.
The working capital position of the Group at 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 were as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Trust account insurer assets
Trust account insurer liabilities
Trade and other payables
Net current income taxes (payable)/receivable

Note 25 Operating segments
a.
Identification of reportable segments
2014
$
2013
$
The Group operates predominantly in the insurance industry. This comprises sale of insurance products and underwriting,
and development of industry information technology. Inter-segment transactions are priced at cost to the Group.
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are provided to the Board of Directors
(the Board) on a monthly basis and in determining the allocation of resources. Management has identified the operating
segments based on the two principal operations: insurance and information technology.
b. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
i. Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board, being the chief decision maker with respect to operating
segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the annual
financial statements of the Group.
ii.
Inter-segment transactions
An internally determined transfer price is set for all inter-segment sales. This price is based on what would be realised
in the event the sale was made to an external party at arm's length. All such transactions are eliminated on
consolidation of the Group's financial statements.
Corporate charges are recognised in "All other segments" which contains the treasury and oversight functions of the
Group. The Board recovers charges management fees from respective segments to reflect an allocation of costs across
the Group. All such transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements.
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of
transaction costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to
fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial
statements.
iii. Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to that segment that receives majority
economic value from that asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their
nature and physical location.
iv. Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and
are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.
v. Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not
considered part of the core operations of any segment:
Depreciation and amortisation
Gains or losses on sales of financial and non-financial assets
Investment income
Corporate transaction accounting expense
c. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
The Group operates in one geographical area and therefore one regulatory environment being Australia.

b. Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management
The main risk the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk
consisting of interest rate, foreign currency risk and equity price risk.
The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
The Board adopts practices designed to identify significant areas of business risk and to effectively manage those risks in
accordance with the Group's risk profile. This includes assessing, monitoring and managing risks for the Group and setting
appropriate risk limits and controls. The Group is not of a size nor is its affairs of such complexity to justify the
establishment of a formal system for risk management and associated controls. Instead, the Board approves all
expenditure, is intimately acquainted with all operations and discuss all relevant issues at the Board meetings. The
operational and other compliance risk management have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and
effectively.
i. Credit risk
Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under
financial instruments entered into by the Group.

Audited Financial Statements& CONTROLLED ENTITIES - ABN 76 149 278 759 (Previously known as Parker Resources Limited)ANNUAL REPORT 2015
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 30 June 2015
Note 26 Financial risk management (cont.)
The objective of the Group is to minimise the risk of loss from credit risk. Although revenue from operations is minimal,
the Group trades only with creditworthy third parties.
In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad
debts is insignificant. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying value of its financial assets as
indicated on the statement of financial position.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade
and other receivables.
Credit risk exposures
The maximum exposure to credit risk is that to its alliance partners and that is limited to the carrying amount, net
of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the
financial statements.
Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Group in accordance
with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with financial institutions
residing in Australia, where ever possible.

ii. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and ensuring sufficient cash
and marketable securities are available to meet the current and future commitments of the Group.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's
approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking
damage to the Group's reputation.
Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days,
including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot
reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier or at
significantly different amounts.
i. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will
affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk
management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the
return.
The Board meets on a regular basis and considers the Group's interest rate risk.
(1) Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the
reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed
rate financial instruments. The Group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments.
Due to the low amount of debt exposed to floating interest rates, interest rate risk is not considered a high risk to
the Group. Movement in interest rates on the Group's financial liabilities and assets is not material.
(2) Foreign exchange risk
Exposure to foreign exchange risk may result in the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
fluctuating due to movement in foreign exchange rates of currencies in which the Group holds financial
instruments which are other than the AUD functional currency of the Group.
The Group has no material exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Note 26 Financial risk management (cont.)
(3) Price risk
Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market prices. The Group does not presently hold material amounts subject to price risk. As such the
Board considers price risk as a low risk to the Group.
ii. Sensitivity Analyses
(1) Interest rates
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in interest rates. The table indicates
the impact on how profit and equity values reported at balance sheet date would have been affected by changes in
the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that
the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.
A change of 50 basis points in the interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) equity
and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2014.
Year ended 30 June 2015
±50 basis points change in interest rates
Year ended 30 June 2014
±100 basis points change in interest rates
(2) Foreign exchange

± 3,054
The Group did not carry significant assets or liabilities in foreign currencies in the 2015 financial year (2014: nil),
and therefore was not subject to material foreign exchange risk, and according not subject to material sensitivities.
iii. Net Fair Values
(1) Fair value estimation
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the table in note 26a and can be
compared to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those
amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an
arm's length transaction.
Financial instruments whose carrying value is equivalent to fair value due to their nature include:
Cash and cash equivalents;
Trade and other receivables;
Trust account insurance assets and liabilities; and
Trade and other payables.
The methods and assumptions used in determining the fair values of financial instruments are disclosed in the
accounting policy notes specific to the asset or liability.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF
ENSURANCE LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Ensurance Limited, which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of
profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity
and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’
declaration of the company also comprising the entities it controlled from time to time during the
financial year.
Directors’ responsibility 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. In note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we
comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due
to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by directors or
management.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide basis
for our audit opinion.
