Shareholders resolved to adopt a new Constitution at the 

General Meeting of Shareholders held on 29 August 2014.

4.2. Significant Changes in Principal Activities

comparatives are reported on the bases as disclosed in

5. Operating and financial review

There were no other significant changes to the state of 

affairs of the Group.

Ensurance Capital operates three distinct businesses 

in the insurance industry consisting of a Sydney-based

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 

to “white label” customers. Once the new platform is 

operational, the Ensurance Group will begin the process 

of migrating all existing products and clients to the new

this Prospectus is subject to providing the Australian 

Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) with 

additional information to clarify certain details in the 

Prospectus.

“White labelling” is the branding by the marketing

with the ability to take advantage of market opportunities

Directors’ report& CONTROLLED ENTITIES - ABN 76 149 278 759 (Previously known as Parker Resources Limited)ANNUAL REPORT 20155.2. 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

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.

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

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.

Notes	to	the	consolidated	financial	statements	
for	the	Year	Ended	30	June	2015	

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.

for	the	Year	Ended	30	June	2015	

Note		 1 

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.

for	the	Year	Ended	30	June	2015	

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).

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

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.

d.  At	the	end	of	the	2015	financial	year,	the	Group	has	1,000,000	unissued	shares	under	options	(2014:	nil)	and	8,000,000	partly-
paid	shares	on	issue	(2014:	nil).	The	Group	does	not	report	diluted	earnings	per	share	on	annual	losses	generated	by	the	Group.	
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

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

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.

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

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.
