INTRODUCTION This 2012 Corporate Governance Statement (“Statement”) sets out the key corporate governance principles adopted by the directors in governing Amalgamated Holdings Limited (“Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “AHL” or “Group”) and reflects the corporate governance policies and procedures which applied during the financial year ended 30 June 2012. The Company continues to monitor and review its corporate governance policies and procedures. 2. APPROACH TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 2.1 Framework and approach to corporate governance and responsibility The Board has the responsibility for ensuring AHL is properly managed so as to protect and enhance shareholders’ interests in a manner that is consistent with AHL’s responsibility to meet its obligations to all stakeholders. For this reason, the Board is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance across the Group. The Board believes that corporate governance is about having a set of values and behaviours that underpin AHL’s everyday activities and which ensure transparency, risk management, accountability, value creation, fair dealing and protection of the interests of stakeholders. Consistent with this belief, the Board’s approach is to consider corporate governance within the broader framework of corporate responsibility and regulatory oversight. 2.2 Compliance with the Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations The Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) has issued the ASX Listing Rules which require listed companies to include in their annual report a statement disclosing the extent to which they have followed the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (“Recommendations”) in the reporting period. Listed companies must identify the Recommendations that have not been followed and provide reasons for the company’s decision. A table outlining the compliance, or otherwise, to the Recommendations has been included in section 11 of this Statement. The corporate governance page of the Company’s website (www.ahl.com.au) contains most of the documents which are referred to in this Statement. The Statement, charters, code and various policies are regularly reviewed to take account of any recent changes in the law and governance practices. If a shareholder does not have access to the internet, they may contact the Company Secretary for copies of the relevant documents. 3. BOARD 3.1 Role and responsibilities of the Board The Board recognises its overriding responsibility to act honestly, fairly, diligently and in accordance with the law in serving the interests of the Company’s shareholders as well as its employees, customers and the community. Its primary responsibilities are: • • • • • • • providing input into, reviewing and approving the corporate and divisional strategic plans; making decisions in relation to matters of a sensitive, extraordinary or strategic nature; providing advice and counsel to management on a periodic and ad hoc basis; ensuring best practice corporate governance; appointing and where appropriate removing the Managing Director and approving succession plans; ratifying the appointment and, where appropriate the termination, of the direct reports to the Managing Director; monitoring the performance of the Managing Director and senior management and approving remuneration policies and practices for such Managing Director and senior management; enhancing and protecting the reputation of the Group; reporting to shareholders; ensuring appropriate compliance frameworks and controls are in place and are operating effectively; approving and monitoring the effectiveness of and compliance with policies governing the operations of the Group; monitoring compliance with regulatory requirements and ethical standards; monitoring the integrity of internal control and reporting systems; monitoring strategic risk management systems and risk management policies and procedures and oversight of internal controls and review of major assumptions used in the calculation of significant risk exposure; reviewing and approving business plans, the annual budget and financial plans, including available resources and major capital expenditure initiatives; monitoring and assessing management’s performance in achieving any strategies and budgets approved by the Board; approving decisions concerning the capital of the Company, including capital restructures; reviewing and approving half yearly and annual statutory accounts and other reporting and monitoring financial results on an ongoing basis; and determining dividend policy and declaring dividends. • • • • • • • • • • • • The Board operates in accordance with the principles set out in the Board Charter. The Board Charter details the Board’s purpose, role, responsibilities and functions. A copy of the Board’s Charter is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. The Board has delegated responsibility for operation and administration of the Company and Group to the Managing Director and executive management. Responsibilities are delineated by formal authority delegations. Senior executives reporting to the Managing Director have their roles and responsibilities defined in position descriptions. 2 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 3.2 Board processes To assist in the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has in place an Audit Committee and a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. These Committees have charters which are reviewed on a regular basis. Other Board Committees may be appointed from time to time to deal with issues associated with the conduct of the Group’s various activities. Recommendation 2.4 of the Recommendations states that the Board should establish a nomination committee. The Board has determined that any recommendations required by a nomination committee are undertaken, as required, by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The full Board holds at least nine scheduled meetings each year, including strategy meetings. Unscheduled meetings are arranged as necessary to address any specific significant matters that may arise. Site visits are arranged on a regular basis to improve directors’ understanding of the Group’s locations and operations. The agenda for meetings is prepared in conjunction with the Chairman, Managing Director and Company Secretary. Standing items include the Managing Director’s report, financial reports, strategic matters, governance and compliance. Submissions are circulated in advance. Executives are regularly involved in Board discussions and directors have other opportunities, including visits to business operations, for contact with a wider group of employees. 3.3 Composition of the Board The composition of the Board is determined using the following principles: • • • the Board should comprise of a majority of non-executive independent directors; the Board should comprise of directors with a broad range of relevant expertise; and the same individual should not exercise the role of Chairman and Managing Director. The Chairman of the Board is a non-executive director. There is a Managing Director, who is also the Chief Executive Officer. It is standard practice to have six non-executive directors, the majority of whom are deemed to be independent under the principles set out below. The composition of the Board is reviewed periodically by the Chairman and the other directors to ensure that the Board has an appropriate mix of expertise and experience. When a vacancy exists, through whatever cause, or where it is considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new director with particular skills, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee identifies suitable candidates with the appropriate expertise and experience, as well as taking into consideration other attributes including diversity, and makes a recommendation to the Board. The Board then appoints the most suitable candidate who must then stand for election at the next general meeting of shareholders. Non-executive directors must stand for re-election each three years. The terms and conditions of the appointment and the retirement of directors, including the Managing Director, are first considered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and then recommended for determination by the Board. A formal letter of appointment is provided to all incoming non-executive directors. The Board considers that individually and collectively the directors bring a level of skill, knowledge, experience and diversity that enables the Board to discharge its responsibilities effectively. Further information on the skills, experience and expertise of the directors has been included in section 10.1 of this Statement. Details of the number of Board meetings and the attendance of the directors have been included in section 10.2 of this Statement. 3.4 Directors’ independence The Board has considered specific principles in relation to a director’s independence. The Board has determined that an independent director is a director who is not a member of management (a non-executive director) and who: • • is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or does not have a material beneficial interest in a substantial shareholder of the Company; has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or Group, or been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment; within the last three years has not been a principal or employee of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Company or Group; is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or Group, or an officer of or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, with a material supplier or customer; must have no material contractual relationship with the Company or Group other than as a director of the Company; and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company. • • • • In forming this view, the Board has considered and determined that “material”, in this context, to be where any director related business relationship has represented, or is likely in the future to represent, the lesser of at least 10% of the relevant segment’s or the director related business’s revenue. The Board considered the nature of the relevant industries’ competition, and size and nature of each director related business relationship, in arriving at this threshold. Two directors of the Company are also directors of Carlton Investments Limited (“Carlton”), which is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Carlton is a publicly listed company. Carlton’s main activity is the holding of a wide portfolio of listed investments. The Board has considered the question of independence of the director of Carlton who does not have a substantial beneficial shareholding in his own right. The Board has concluded that, as the nature of Carlton’s business is in no way similar to that of the businesses of the Group, the sole holding of a directorship in Carlton should not impact on the ability and willingness of a director to effectively review and challenge the performance of management and exercise independent and objective judgement for the benefit of all shareholders of the Company. 3 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 3.5 Chairman and Managing Director The Chairman is responsible for leading the Board, ensuring that Board activities are organised and effectively conducted and for ensuring directors are properly briefed for meetings. The Managing Director is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. Recommendation 2.2 of the Recommendations states that the Chairman should be an independent director. The Chairman, Mr AG Rydge, is not considered an independent director due to the substantial shareholding clause. Mr Rydge was previously Chairman and Managing Director of the Company until retiring from the position of Managing Director on 31 December 2001. The Board has determined that the chairmanship of Mr Rydge is of significant benefit to the Company and Group due to his long standing contribution to, and association with, the Company and extensive knowledge of the film, hospitality, leisure and tourism industries. Mr Rydge has been non-executive Chairman since 1 January 2002. As Mr AG Rydge is not considered an independent director due to the substantial shareholding clause, the Board has appointed a lead independent director. 3.6 Conflict of interest In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Company’s Constitution, directors give standing notice on appointment of any interest that could potentially conflict with that of the Company or Group and must keep the Board advised of any changes. Where the Board believes a significant conflict of interest exists, the director concerned does not receive the relevant Board papers and is not present at the meeting whilst the item is considered. 3.7 Director education The Company has a process to educate new directors about the nature of the business, current issues, corporate strategy and the Company’s expectations of directors. All directors are made aware of their rights to access employees, information and resources. Directors are encouraged to visit facilities of the Group and meet with management to gain a better understanding of business operations. Directors are given access to continuing education opportunities to update and enhance their skills and knowledge base. 3.8 Independent professional advice Each director has the right of access to all relevant Company information and to the Group’s executives and, subject to prior consultation with the Chairman, may seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified advisor at the Group’s expense. The director must consult with an advisor suitably qualified in the relevant field, and obtain the Chairman’s approval of the fee payable for the advice before proceeding with the consultation. A copy of the advice received by the director is made available to all other members of the Board. 3.9 Directors’ Retirement Plan The Directors’ Retirement Plan was suspended in May 2003 and directors appointed to the Board after that date are not entitled to participate in the plan. Eligible directors in office prior to the suspension of the plan in May 2003 are able to participate in the plan. Subject to the Corporations Act 2001, those eligible directors with more than three years service receive a retirement lump sum based on the length of service and the average of the fees paid. The benefit is capped at a maximum lump sum per eligible director of $165,000. The Chairman and Managing Director are not eligible to participate in the plan. The total accrued retirement benefits for non-executive directors other than superannuation, and further details on directors’ remuneration, are disclosed within the Remuneration Report. 4. AUDIT COMMITTEE 4.1 Role and responsibilities of the Audit Committee The Audit Committee Charter sets out the Committee’s roles and responsibilities. Its primary responsibilities are to: • • review and monitor the financial integrity of the Group’s financial reports and statements; review the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s financial risk management framework and system of internal control and the monitoring of the various control processes; ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations and statutory obligations; review and approve the internal and external audit work plans; and review significant accounting changes or reporting issues. • • • The Committee reviews the performance of the external auditor on an annual basis and meets with them during the year to discuss a number of matters including the external audit plan, proposed fees for audit work to be performed, half year and annual reporting and other matters as necessary. The Audit Committee, in scheduled sessions at the end of each meeting, without the presence of management, addresses questions to the external auditor and Group Internal Audit Manager on matters relating to the Committee’s responsibilities. The Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board concerning the appointment of the external auditor including remuneration and other terms of the auditor’s engagement. The Committee reviews and ensures that the level of any non-audit work carried out by the external auditor is compatible with maintaining audit independence, taking into account the guidelines which it has set. The current practice, subject to amendment in the event of legislative change, is for the rotation of the engagement partner to occur every five years, with the most recent rotation having taken place in August 2011. The Board receives the minutes and regular updates from the Chairman of the Committee, and reviews and approves the charter of the Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. 4 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 4.2 Composition of the Audit Committee The Audit Committee consists of a minimum of three non-executive directors, the majority of whom are independent, and is chaired by an independent director who is not the Chairman of the Board. All Committee members are familiar with finance and accounting procedures. The members of the Audit Committee during the year were: • • • AJ Clark (Chairman) – independent non-executive director; PR Coates – independent non-executive director; and AG Rydge – non-executive director. Other directors who are not members of the Committee are invited to attend meetings. The Managing Director, Director Finance & Accounting, Company Secretary, Group Internal Audit Manager and external auditors are invited to attend Committee meetings. Other executives may be invited to Committee meetings at the discretion of the Committee. The Audit Committee meets at least four times per year. Details of the number of Committee meetings and the attendance of the Committee members have been included in section 10.2 of this Statement. 5. NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE 5.1 Role and responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter sets out the Committee’s roles and responsibilities. Its primary responsibilities are to advise the Board on matters including: • • • • the composition, remuneration and performance evaluation of the Board; the appointment of the Managing Director; succession plans for the position of Managing Director; and the remuneration strategy for the Managing Director and other senior executives. The Committee also acts as a nomination committee and reviews the need for appointment of new directors for recommendation to the Board and shareholders for approval. The Board receives the minutes and regular updates from the Chairman of the Committee, and reviews and approves the charter of the Committee. A copy of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. 5.2 Composition of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee The Nomination and Remuneration Committee consists of a minimum of three non-executive directors, the majority of whom are independent, and is chaired by an independent director who is not the Chairman of the Board. The members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee during the year were: • • • AJ Clark (Chairman) – independent non-executive director; PR Coates – independent non-executive director; and AG Rydge – non-executive director. Other directors who are not members of the Committee are invited to attend meetings. The Managing Director and Company Secretary are invited to attend Committee meetings. Other executives may be invited to Committee meetings at the discretion of the Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee meets at least two times per year and further as required. Details of the number of Committee meetings and the attendance of the Committee members have been included in section 10.2 of this Statement. 6. PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION 6.1 Board performance and remuneration The Board reviews its performance annually to ensure that individual directors and the Board as a whole work efficiently and effectively in achieving their functions set out within the Board Charter. The Chairman annually assesses the performance of individual directors and meets privately with each director to discuss this assessment and any ideas for improvement. At this same time, directors are able to provide feedback on the performance of the Chairman. The Board as a whole discusses and analyses its own performance during the year. The Board also has in place an annual process to review its performance as well as the performance of the Board Committees. Each director completes a performance evaluation questionnaire. The questionnaire covers topics including: • • • • • • the Board’s role; composition and effectiveness; procedures and practices; behaviours; Board administration; and the conduct of the Chairman. 5 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 6.1 Board performance and remuneration (continued) Directors are requested to provide comment and feedback and to evaluate each area by providing a rated response to various questions. The results of the performance evaluation are collated by the Company Secretary and submitted to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee for review. A summary of the results is then submitted to the full Board. The Board evaluation process was last completed in May 2012. The results of the performance evaluation form the basis of an action plan designed to address performance improvement opportunities. The Group’s remuneration philosophy and details of the current remuneration arrangements are outlined within the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report confirms that the structure of non-executive director remuneration is separate and distinct from that of senior executive remuneration. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board, fees applicable to non-executive directors. Non- executive directors may also be reimbursed for their expenses properly incurred as a director, or in the course of their duties. Non-executive directors are also encouraged to own shares in the Company. The non-executive directors do not participate in any other short or long term incentive schemes. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that may be paid to all non-executive directors each year is capped at $1.5 million, which was approved by shareholders at the 2010 Annual General Meeting of shareholders. The Board maintains a fee buffer to give it sufficient flexibility to plan its structure in advance of specific needs that may arise. The total fees paid to non-executive directors during the reporting period were $859,000. Information regarding the Directors’ Retirement Plan has been included at section 3.9 of this Statement, and disclosed within the Remuneration Report. 6.2 Executive performance and remuneration Each year, the Board, with the assistance of the Managing Director, and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, undertake a formal process of reviewing the performance of senior executives. The measures generally relate to the performance of the Group, the performance of the senior executive’s division or department and the performance of the senior executive individually. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board review the performance of the Managing Director. The Managing Director is not present at the Nomination and Remuneration Committee or Board meetings when his own performance and remuneration are being considered. For senior executives, the Managing Director conducts interviews with each executive and provides comments and feedback in relation to the senior executive’s performance. A formal review process occurs for each employee with nominated supervisors conducting the performance review. The formal review process occurs annually and was completed in June 2012. Further details on the assessment criteria for the Managing Director and senior executive remuneration (including equity-based share plans) are disclosed within the Remuneration Report. 6.3 Remuneration Report The Remuneration Report is set out with, and forms part of, the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2012. 7. RISK MANAGEMENT 7.1 Risk profile and oversight of the risk management system The Board oversees the establishment, implementation and annual review of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems. Management has established and implemented the systems for identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing material operational, financial reporting, internal controls and compliance risks for the Group. The systems and processes implemented to manage material risks include: • • • • • • • • • • risk management framework; clearly defined management responsibilities and organisational structure; delegated limits of authority; treasury and accounting controls and reconciliations; comprehensive management reporting systems; budgeting and strategic planning processes; segregation of duties; physical security over the Group’s assets; appropriate policies and procedures that are widely disseminated to, and understood by, employees; and risk management and internal audit functions. Divisional Managing Directors and other senior executives complete and sign off on an annual Directors’ Risk Management Questionnaire. The operational and other compliance risk management procedures have also been assessed and found to be operating efficiently and effectively. All risk assessments cover the whole financial year and the period up to the signing of the annual financial report for all material operations in the Group. The annual Directors’ Risk Management Questionnaire for the year ended 30 June 2012 was completed in July 2012. As well as the Directors’ Risk Management Questionnaire, matters relating to the business risk and risk management system are analysed and discussed as part of the annual strategic planning process. The Board provides assistance to management in the development and maintenance of processes to minimise and mitigate business risks. A summary of the Risk Management Policy is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. 6 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 7.2 Financial reporting The Managing Director and the Director Finance & Accounting have declared, in writing to the Board that the financial report of the Group is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control which implements the policies adopted by the Board. The declarations for the year ended 30 June 2012 were received in August 2012. 7.3 Internal Audit The Group Internal Audit Manager assists the Board in ensuring compliance with internal controls and risk management programs, by regularly reviewing the effectiveness of compliance and control systems. The Audit Committee is responsible for approving the program of internal audit visits to be conducted each year and the scope of the work to be performed at each location. 7.4 Code of Ethics and Business Conduct The Company has a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“Code”), which has been endorsed by the Board and applies to all directors and Group employees. The Code is reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the highest standards of behaviour and professionalism and the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Group’s integrity. In summary, the Code encapsulates that all directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Group. Every employee has a nominated supervisor to whom they refer any issues arising from their employment. The Board reviews the Code regularly and processes are in place to promote and communicate the Code’s contents. The Code is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. 7.5 Whistleblowing Policy The Company has a Whistleblowing Policy for the Australian operations. The policy is designed to support and protect any employees who report non-compliant, suspicious or unethical conduct by other employees of the Group, regardless of seniority of those involved in the alleged conduct. The Whistleblowing Policy formalises the Company’s commitment to protect the confidentiality and position of employees wishing to raise serious matters that affect the integrity of the Company and Group. The Board reviews the Whistleblowing Policy regularly and processes are in place to promote and communicate the Whistleblowing Policy’s contents. The Whistleblowing Policy is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. 7.6 Legal compliance training All senior management personnel are required to complete legal compliance training at least once every two years. The training covers such topics as: • • • • • • • contract fundamentals; issues relating to the Trade Practices Act 1974; employment contracts, termination and redundancy; harassment and discrimination; workplace relations; occupational health and safety obligations; and corporate policies (including limits of authority and share trading). 7.7 Dealing in Company shares by directors and employees The Company has a Share Trading Policy Guide. It is the policy of the Company that directors and senior executives can only buy or sell shares in the Company in the six week period from (and including) the second business day following any price sensitive announcement including the half year and full year results, and the Annual General Meeting. Trading outside of this period can only be conducted with prior written approval, which will only be provided in certain exceptional circumstances. This policy is subject to the overall restriction that persons may at no time deal in any securities when they are in possession of price sensitive information. The policy is also applicable to all other employees of the Group. All directors have entered into written agreements to notify the Company Secretary when they buy or sell shares in the Company. In accordance with the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules, the Company Secretary advises the ASX of any transactions conducted by directors in shares in the Company. This information is also reported to the Board. Each senior executive is requested, on an annual basis, to provide information regarding the financial arrangements (including margin loans) attached to their personal holdings of shares in the Company. In addition, each senior executive has provided an undertaking to advise the Company Secretary of any subsequent change regarding the financial arrangements (including margin loans) attached to their personal holdings of shares. This information is reported to the Board. The policy prohibits employees from using derivatives or entering into transactions that operate, or are intended to operate, to limit the economic risk of unvested entitlements to shares, including unvested performance shares issued under the Group’s long term incentive scheme. The Share Trading Policy Guide is available from the Company’s website or upon request from the Company Secretary. 7 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 8. COMMUNICATION AND ENVIRONMENT 8.1 Continuous Disclosure Policy The Board provides shareholders with information using a comprehensive Continuous Disclosure Policy which includes identifying matters that may have a material effect on the price of the Company’s shares, notifying them to the ASX, posting them on the Company’s website, and issuing media releases. In summary, the Continuous Disclosure Policy provides the Chairman, Managing Director, Director Finance & Accounting and Company Secretary with the responsibility for interpreting the Continuous Disclosure Policy and where necessary informing the Board. The Company Secretary is responsible for all communications with the ASX. Such matters are advised to the ASX on the day they are identified and all senior executives must follow a set process, which involves monitoring all areas of the Group’s internal and external environment. In addition: • the half year report contains summarised financial information and a review of the operations of the Group during the period. The report is sent to all shareholders (unless a shareholder has specifically requested not to receive the document); the annual report is distributed to all shareholders who have requested to receive a copy. The Board ensures that the annual report contains disclosures required by the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules; the full texts of notices of meetings and associated explanatory material are placed on the Company’s website; details of all meetings with investors and analysts are retained by the Group, including details of what was discussed, the persons present and the time and location of the meeting; the Chairman’s address is presented at the Annual General Meeting and subsequently distributed by mail to all shareholders; and notification is made to the ASX of any other significant matters regarding the Group in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. • • • • • The Company considers it has complied with all of its continuous disclosure obligations. The above information, including that of the previous three years, is made available on the Group’s website within one day of public release. 8.2 Shareholders and the Annual General Meeting The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Group’s strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to shareholders as single resolutions and in plain English. Shareholders are requested to vote on the appointment and maximum aggregate amount of fees that may be paid to all non-executive directors, the granting of performance shares to the Managing Director and changes to the Constitution. The external auditor attends the Annual General Meeting to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Independent Audit Report. The meeting is held in Sydney and shareholders can attend in person or send a proxy as their representative. Unless indisposed, all current directors and senior executives attend the meeting, along with the external auditor. A copy of the Constitution is available to any shareholder who requests it. 8.3 Environmental reporting system The Group’s operations are subject to various environmental regulations under Commonwealth, state or territory and other applicable legislation. The Group has an established environmental reporting system for its environmentally sensitive businesses, which monitors compliance with existing environmental regulations and new regulations as they are enacted. The recreational and other ancillary activities conducted by those businesses are subject to various licences and legislation issued under environmental laws that apply in each respective location. The Board has a responsibility to ensure that robust systems are in place to manage the assets in a sustainable and responsible manner and to ensure that the activities of each business are conducted in compliance with legislation. The reporting system is documented in a legal compliance manual and includes procedures to be followed should an incident occur which may adversely impact the environment. The directors are not aware of breaches of any applicable legislation during the year, which are material in nature, and have no reason to believe that any possible legal or remedial action would result in a material cost or loss to the Group. 9. DIVERSITY 9.1 Diversity in the workplace The Board is committed to an inclusive workplace that embraces and promotes diversity, including indigenous and disability employment, equal opportunity and women in management. The Board has delegated management of diversity to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Group’s Diversity Policy formalises the Group’s commitment to diversity and seeks to promote an inclusive culture where people are encouraged to succeed to the best of their ability. Progress in respect of the measurable objectives for the Group are reviewed on an annual basis by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee receives reports on the Group’s diversity related initiatives and facilitates periodic reporting to the Board. The Group has adopted the following initiatives to progress the objectives of its diversity policy: • • reporting on the gender diversity within the AHL Group to the AHL Board; and aiming to increase (or at least maintain) the percentage of women in Board and senior management positions as vacancies arise, subject to identification of candidates with appropriate skills. The Group will report on progress in achieving its objectives on an annual basis. 8 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 C O R P O R A T E G O V E R N A N C E S T A T E M E N T 9.2 Gender representation The gender representation profile for the Board, senior executives, and all employees of the Group is as follows: Board Other key management personnel Other senior executives All Group employees 10.

The acquisitions were primarily attributable to the redevelopment of the Gowings and State Theatre buildings, general routine capital expenditure, the refurbishment of the existing cinema circuits, refurbishment requirements for the cinemas, hotels and resorts and the infrastructure and operational requirements for the Thredbo Alpine Resort. Acquisitions exclude capital expenditure incurred through partnership activities. Capital structure Cash and term deposits at 30 June 2012 totalled $63,309,000 and total debt outstanding was $46,981,000. Treasury policy The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. At 30 June 2012, the Group had no interest rate hedges (2011: 17% of debt hedged) due to the low level of Group debt. Liquidity and funding The Group’s secured bank debt facilities comprise the following: • • • The above facilities were negotiated and finalised during the year. The facilities mature on 10 July 2015 and are supported by interlocking guarantees from most Group entities and are secured by specific property mortgages (refer Note 17). A$350,000,000 revolving multi-currency loan facility; A$30,000,000 credit support facility (for the issue of letters of credit and bank guarantees); and A$50,000 overdraft facility supports transactional banking facilities. Cash flows from operations Operating net cash inflows marginally decreased to $138,285,000 from $139,727,000 in the prior year to 30 June 2011. The lower trading cash flows were primarily due to the hotel segment and Thredbo. Impact of legislation and other external requirements There were no changes in environmental or other legislative requirements during the year that have significantly impacted the results of operations of the Group. 18 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T REVIEW OF OPERATIONS BY DIVISION ENTERTAINMENT Cinema Exhibition – Australia As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * 2012 55 479 2011 55 479 Movement – – * Managed and joint venture cinema sites (excludes Moonlight Cinema sites and screens). The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $53,930,000, an increase of $7,377,000 or 15.8% on the prior year result. The Australian cinema circuit experienced stronger trading conditions, achieving a 2.5% increase in Box Office. This increase was primarily due to an improved second half, which was up on the prior comparable half year period by 6.2%. The full year result included standout results from The Avengers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, with both achieving in excess of $50 million at the Australian Box Office. Other major contributors included Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, The Hunger Games and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, each achieving in excess of $25 million at the Box Office. The Group has continued to expand its digital footprint with an additional 159 digital projectors installed, taking the total number of digital projectors to 441 representing some 92% of the total Australian circuit. Merchandising revenue continued to grow with a 3.9% improvement in revenue per admission over the prior year. This growth was driven by the continued rollout of the successful self serve Scoop Alley candy bar concept and the ongoing success of the Gold Class cinema experience. The Group continued to expand its successful big screen, big seat Vmax concept, with an additional two traditional auditoriums converted to the Vmax concept at Tuggerah on the NSW Central Coast and at Indooroopilly in Brisbane. There are now a total of 28 Vmax screens across the Australian circuit. The Group increased the range of mobile channels available to book tickets and view session times, with new mobile and android apps launched during the year. The contribution from the Group’s 50% interest in the Village managed circuit in Victoria increased by 27.4% over the prior comparable year. The increase was similarly due to the improved film line-up particularly, over the second half of the year. Cinema Exhibition – New Zealand As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. 2012 17 124 2011 18 129 Movement (1) (5) The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $3,281,000, an increase of $1,002,000 or 44.0% on the prior year result. The New Zealand business, which also includes the Fiji Cinema Joint Venture (66.67% share in two cinemas), experienced a marginal increase in Box Office. Box Office was impacted by the Group’s decision to close the seven-screen cinema complex at Centre Place in Hamilton in January 2012. On a same screen basis, Box Office increased by 1.3% over the prior year. The Box Office result for the year was predominately driven by the strong performances of The Avengers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which grossed NZ$8.4 million and NZ$7.9 million respectively at the New Zealand Box Office. These titles were supported by The Hunger Games, Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, all of which grossed in excess of NZ$5 million. During the year, merchandising revenue spend per admission increased by 6.9%. This growth was driven by a continued focussed approach on staff awareness and competitions. The addition of variety into the candy bar range helped to drive incremental spend, along with a number of successful Candy Bar Combo promotions. The Group added two additional screens in the historic Embassy Theatre in Wellington. The cinemas, both with 70 seats, have access to an exclusive platinum lounge. 19 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 Cinema Exhibition – Germany As at 30 June Cinema locations * Cinema screens * * Managed and joint venture cinema sites. D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T 2012 59 441 2011 60 455 Movement (1) (14) The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $18,574,000, an increase of $2,947,000 or 18.9% on the prior year result. After a strong first half of the year, the second half of 2012 suffered from a lack of compelling film product and the negative impact of the European Championships in June 2012. Nonetheless, Germany wide admissions were 127.5 million, an increase of 3.0 million over the prior year. Box Office for the German circuit increased 3% over prior year with admissions flat but average admission price showing an increase of 3.2%. This increase in average admission price was partly due to the surcharge on increased 3D admissions. The top performing films at the German Box Office for the financial year were Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Puss in Boots, Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, The Avengers and, in the absence of any breakout German production, the French hit film The Intouchables. A number of German films did however break 1 million admissions, such as Turkish for Beginners, What a Man and Maennerherzen. German film share grew to 16.4% of Box Office compared with 10.6% in the prior year. Live broadcasts of The Metropolitan Opera and other alternative content continued to grow in popularity. Merchandising spend per admission increased by 6.7% over the prior year. During the year there was an increased level of capital expenditure, arising from the rollout of digital projection systems in line with a virtual print fee agreement with Arts Alliance Media. The German circuit currently has 220 digital screens at 55 sites. The strengthening of the Australian dollar against the Euro continued to have a negative impact on the result when translated to Australian dollars. The average month end A$/Euro exchange rate for the financial year to 30 June 2012 was 76.9 cents against 72.7 cents for the prior financial year. As noted in the 2011 Annual Report, German controlled and joint venture entities have had a long running dispute with local tax authorities over the level of VAT paid on a number of food products sold. A contingent asset was disclosed at 30 June 2011 relating to the disputed VAT and the potential interest receivable thereon. The contingent asset has now been recognised as income in the reporting period and has been disclosed as an individually significant item. The total VAT and interest receivable booked as income during the year totals $18,799,000. HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE Hotels and Resorts As at 30 June Locations * Rooms * * Owned and managed hotels. 2012 44 8,139 2011 45 8,189 Movement (1) (50) The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $26,565,000, a decrease $1,656,000 or 5.9% on the prior year result. Rydges Occupancy in the Group’s like for like owned and managed hotels declined 0.8 percentage points to 68.1%. This was offset by an increase in average rate of almost 6% to $143. With a cyclical upswing in hotel average rates underway in several key destinations, the Group moved to maximise the opportunity by completing refurbishments of Rydges Lakeside and Rydges North Sydney. After accounting for the short term disruption of these refurbishments, the Group’s occupancy held steady with the prior year’s result. Refurbishments have also been commenced in Gladstone and Townsville. Individual hotel performance continued to be strongest in locations benefiting from mining related corporate travel, such as Gladstone, Perth, Darwin and Kalgoorlie. The wider corporate market also performed well in most Australian mainland capital cities and major regional centres, albeit with some softening in demand emerging in the fourth quarter. The corporate segments experienced some growth in demand enabling further growth in average room rate but demand did soften in the fourth quarter. Despite concerns with negative consumer sentiment, the domestic leisure market held up well. However, this segment remains price and time sensitive, with the trend towards short city breaks and minimal upward movement in average rates evident throughout the year. The year saw some signs of a recovery in the conference segment, however demand remains patchy. This factor, combined with lingering issues impacting inbound arrivals resulted in a challenging year in regional leisure and conference destinations in Australia and New Zealand. 20 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T In a further effort to increase market share and profitability, the Group’s Sales, Marketing and Revenue departments were reoriented during the year to have an increased focus on the corporate and conference segments, being the Group’s two highest yielding segments Encouraging results were produced from the Group’s focus on the food and beverage department, with food and beverage revenues from owned hotels increasing by 7.5%. New bar concepts, in both owned and managed hotels, such as those in place in Canberra, Cronulla, Cairns and Port Macquarie are impacting favourably. The re-launch of the hotel loyalty program as Priority Guest Rewards coincided with major upgrades of the Group’s branded websites. These assets produced almost 350,000 room nights and some $55,000,000 in revenue to owned and managed hotels during the year. In addition to the aforementioned renovation and rebranding activity, the Group stepped up the roll out of the Rise breakfast concept. Together with the Rydges Dream Beds, this concept is proving to be a competitive advantage receiving positive guest reaction, particularly on various social networks such as Trip Advisor. The Group also commenced a major upgrade of the Wi-Fi and Broadband internet services on offer to conference and in house guests. QT Hotels Redevelopment of the QT Gold Coast was completed at the end of December 2011 and was launched into the strong Gold Coast Christmas holiday period. Outside this peak period however, visitor demand to the Gold Coast remains soft. Room rate is however strong and the Hotels restaurants and bars continued to trade very successfully. Late in the final quarter, QT Port Douglas was also launched following a $5.5 million refurbishment. The much anticipated QT Sydney, located within the historic Gowings and State Theatre buildings, is scheduled to open in mid-September 2012. Thredbo Alpine Resort The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $10,701,000, a decrease of $4,467,000 or 29.4% on the prior year result. Despite a strong start with heavy early snowfall the 2011 season ended up being very disappointing with virtually no significant snowfalls occurring over the peak August period and with conditions rarely suited for snowmaking. Overall skier numbers were almost 7% down on the 2010 season and this was the major factor in the 29.4% decline in earnings. The 2012 season began well with early snow and with a reinvigorated offering of family and social events over the opening weekend. The resort was freshened up for the season with new branding identification, signage and the repainting of Valley Terminal and several other major buildings. Non-winter visitation was encouraging with January experiencing a 15% lift in revenue over that of the prior year. Leisure and Attractions The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $3,794,000, an increase of $952,000 or 33.5% on the prior year result. Featherdale achieved a strong result, with profit before interest and tax increasing by approximately 80% on the prior year. The domestic market segment performed well, and the inbound tourist segment was stable following declines in previous years. The State Theatre also produced a strong result, with profit before interest and tax increasing 15% on the prior year. The improvement was due to better overall attendance across all shows. ENTERTAINMENT TECHNOLOGY The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $915,000, an increase of $23,000 or 2.6% on the prior year result. STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS Property The normalised profit before interest and income tax expense was $3,186,000, representing a decrease of $1,874,000 or 37% on the prior year result. The result included a fair value decrement of the investment properties of $71,000, compared to a fair value increment in the prior year of $438,000. The result was also impacted by the vacancy at the Forum building in Brisbane following the financial collapse of Border Books. All remaining lots at the residential subdivision of the Bass Hill Drive-in site were sold during the year, with a profit of $1,966,000 booked as an individually significant item in relation to those sales. The total accounting profit over the life of the Bass Hill project was $15,848,000. 21 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T STRATEGIC PLANS BY DIVISION The Group’s strategic plan, which includes future expansion, will depend on industry, economic and political conditions, the potential impact of global events, the future financial performance and available capital, the competitive environment, evolving customer needs and trends, and the availability of attractive opportunities. It is likely that the Group’s strategies will continue to evolve and change in response to these and other factors, and there can be no absolute assurance that these current strategies, as detailed below, will be achieved. ENTERTAINMENT The strategic plans for Entertainment are applicable to both the domestic and international cinema businesses. Cinema Exhibition – domestic and international Enhancing the customer experience Whilst the Group has no control over the general audience appeal of available films, providing consumers with a demonstrably superior experience in the cinema to that which can be achieved in the home, is a central strategic platform. To provide this enhanced cinema experience, the Group will pursue the following strategies: • • • continued refurbishment of existing cinemas and expansion of the number of cinemas with the Event Cinema brand; expansion of the Gold Class cinema concept to certain cinema locations within the Australian domestic circuit; expansion of the Vmax cinema concept which provides the ultimate big screen cinema experience through larger screens and seats than a traditional auditorium; continued improvement of food and beverage outlets within the cinemas to maximise food and beverage revenue opportunities; continued expansion of the 3D digital footprint within the Australian domestic and German circuit to ensure all regions have access to the release of 3D titles; and enhanced customer communication and ticketing through online applications. • • • Maximising returns from existing locations The cinema exhibition markets in Australia, and those international locations in which the Group currently operates, are considered to be mature markets with limited growth and expansion opportunity. The Group anticipates achieving growth primarily through further expansion of the premium cinema concepts of Gold Class and Vmax and building higher frequency through loyalty programs. Rationalising under-performing cinema sites The Group will continue to pursue the policy of rationalising under-performing cinema sites. All sites, in all territories, are reviewed periodically and, where it is assessed that there is limited profit or potential for performance turnaround, an exit strategy is formulated. Where the site (or group of sites) is subject to long term leases, the exit strategy may be over a protracted period of time. Industry developments The Group believes that there are certain current issues pertaining to the industry that have the capacity to impact the strategic plans and future direction of the cinema operations. The Group will continue to monitor developments in relation to the following issues: • • • • increase in capital expenditure resulting from the deployment a digital platform for film exhibition; alternative film delivery methods and the rise in popularity of other forms of entertainment (including DVD ownership and the increase of home entertainment systems); shortening of the release window of film to DVD; and increase in unauthorised recording (piracy) of audio and visual recordings for commercial sale. HOSPITALITY AND LEISURE Rydges Hotels and Resorts Enhancing the guest experience The Group will continue to provide hotel guests with quality 4 star accommodation that consistently delivers a product and service that meets or exceeds guest expectations. To provide this, the Group will continue to pursue the following strategies: • constant focus on innovative and dynamic recruitment and training practices to ensure talented and dynamic people are attracted to work in Rydges Hotels; • maintenance of all hotels at 4 star standard and when required, rejuvenation of key areas of hotels to ensure Rydges’ reputation continues to be enhanced; specific focus on creating stand out food and beverage experiences that build incremental spend and enhance each hotel’s reputation; and • • maintenance of a leadership position in the online distribution and booking capabilities for guests. The Priority Guest Rewards program and the sales and revenue structure are important support functions for the online strategy. QT Hotels and Resorts • The Group has recognised a market opportunity in the 4.5 star design hotel segment. This segment presents far greater opportunities for the level of average room rate with the level of operating costs not significantly greater than the 4.0 star segment of the Rydges brand. The segment requires an innovative approach to the operation of the hotel restaurant bar and again these operate at a higher margin level. The Group will own and operate an initial core of 3 – 4 QT hotels and then seek further expansion largely through managed opportunities. • • 22 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Increasing the number of hotel rooms The Group will continue to seek opportunities for future growth through gaining of new hotel management agreements and freehold acquisitions. Maximising returns from existing locations The Group anticipates achieving continuing improvements in results through growth in market share and initiatives that drive increased spend and capture rates in all hotels. Thredbo Alpine Resort – Kosciuszko Thredbo Premier holiday destination The key strategy for the Thredbo Alpine Resort is to maintain the facility as one of the premier Australian holiday destinations. This strategy includes: • • • • • continuing to ensure the popularity, high-quality and ambience of the winter-time resort facility; enhancing snow making automation to minimise risks in poor seasons; increasing the summer and shoulder visitations by both leisure and conference guests; staging special events that help to promote the Resort; and ensuring that the environmental integrity of the Resort is maintained and, where possible, improved. Maximising returns from existing facility The Group anticipates that the Resort will achieve growth through shoulder periods, summer revenue and cost improvements, increased visitation and increased occupancy rates. ENTERTAINMENT TECHNOLOGY The strategic plans for Entertainment Technology are applicable to each of the technology businesses. Edge Digital Technology and Filmlab Maintaining pace with technological advances The Group will continue to build knowledge in relation to evolving cinema systems, and in particular digital projection systems. Maximising returns from existing businesses The Group is focussing on restructuring business processes to reduce the level of operating costs of the existing business and ensuring the appropriate structures are in place for the rollout of the digital platform. Industry developments The Group expects that a digital platform will replace the current 35mm film release printing process over the next one to three years. The Group is assessing potential income streams from digital content delivery platforms, including alternate content distribution. STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS Property Maximising returns from existing investment The Group has a number of property assets that it intends to redevelop over time. The timing of these redevelopments is dependent on the type of use and stage of the property cycle. DIVIDENDS Dividends paid or declared by the Company since the end of the previous year were: Type Declared and paid during the year Final 2011 dividend Special 2011 dividend Interim 2012 dividend Declared after the end of the year Final 2012 dividend Per share Cents Total amount $’000 Date of payment Tax rate for franking credit 23 4 14 25 36,755 6,392 22,478 65,625 22 September 2011 22 September 2011 22 March 2012 30% 30% 30% 40,140 20 September 2012 30% All the dividends paid or declared by the Company since the end of the previous year were 100% franked.

OFFICERS WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY PARTNERS OF THE AUDIT FIRM The following persons were officers of the Company during the year and were previously partners of the current audit firm, KPMG, at a time when KPMG undertook an audit of the Group: • • AJ Clark (retired from audit firm in 1998); and PW Horton (retired from audit firm in 2001). AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 37 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2012. 24 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED BY KPMG During the year, KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: • • all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

DC Seargeant Director 25 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors and executives of the Group. D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Remuneration philosophy The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies and packages applicable to the Board members and senior executives of the Group. The objective of the remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities, and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining people of the appropriate quality. Remuneration levels are competitively set to attract appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the level of remuneration packages. The remuneration packages of the Managing Director and senior executives include an at-risk component that is linked to the overall financial and operational performance of the Group and based on the achievement of specific goals of the Group. Executives participate in the Group’s Executive Performance Share Plan. The long term benefits of the Executive Performance Share Plan are conditional upon the Group achieving certain performance criteria, details of which are outlined below. The Group also has the following share plans: • • Tax Exempt Share Plan; and Employee Share Plan (closed to new members and no offers have been made under the plan since 1998). Further details in relation to the various share plans are provided in Note 30 to the financial report. Remuneration structure In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director remuneration is separate and distinct from senior executive remuneration. Non-executive director remuneration Objective The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. Structure The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. The latest determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 October 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $1,500,000 per year. Non-executive directors do not receive any performance related remuneration nor are they issued shares or performance shares. The amount of aggregate remuneration sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it is apportioned among directors is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process. Further information regarding the use of remuneration consultants has been detailed on page 30. Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Company. An additional fee is also paid for being a member of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The payment of an additional fee recognises the additional time commitment required by directors who serve on those Committees. Directors’ base fees for the financial year ending 30 June 2013 are $118,000 per annum (Chairman: $295,000 per annum, inclusive of Committee fees). Directors’ fees cover all main Board activities. Non-executive director members who sit on both the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee receive an additional payment of $18,000 per annum (Chairman of both the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee: $36,000 per annum). The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2012 is detailed on page 32 in this report. The Company had a Directors’ Retirement Plan. The plan was suspended in respect of any new director appointments, on 15 May 2003 and directors appointed to the Board after that date are not entitled to participate in the plan. Under the plan, directors with more than three years service receive a retirement lump sum based on the length of service. The plan benefits accrued on a monthly basis and reach the maximum amount after 12 years service. The benefit is capped to a maximum lump sum per director of $165,000. The plan has been fully accrued since the year ended 30 June 2007 and the Company has not incurred any additional expense since that date. There were no benefits paid under the plan during the year ended 30 June 2012. During the year ended 30 June 2011, the Company paid $165,000 to RM Graham under the plan. Mr Graham resigned as a director on 20 April 2011. The amount accrued in respect of the Directors’ Retirement Plan at 30 June 2012 is $165,000 (2011: $165,000) in respect of Mr AJ Clark. The maximum benefit amount has been accrued for the participating director and no further Directors’ Retirement Plan expense accruals will occur in future years. 26 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Managing Director and executive remuneration Objective The Group aims to reward the Managing Director and executives with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group, and so as to: • reward executives for Group, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks and key performance indicators (“KPIs”); align the interests of executives with those of shareholders; link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. • • • Structure In determining the level and make-up of executive remuneration, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee obtains independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages for executives, given remuneration trends in other companies, from which recommendations are made to the Board. It is the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s policy that employment contracts are entered into with the Managing Director and other executives. Details of these employment contracts are provided on page 30. Remuneration consists of both fixed and variable remuneration components. The variable remuneration component consists of a Short Term Incentive Plan and a Long Term Incentive Plan. The proportion of fixed remuneration and variable remuneration (potential short term and long term incentives) is established for each senior executive by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Fixed annual remuneration Objective Remuneration levels for executives are reviewed annually to ensure that they are appropriate for the responsibility, qualifications and experience of each executive and are competitive with the market. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee establishes and issues an appropriate guideline for the purpose of the annual review of fixed remuneration levels. The guideline is based on both current and forecast Consumer Price Index and market conditions. There are no guaranteed fixed remuneration increases in any senior executives’ contracts. Structure Executives have the option to receive their fixed annual remuneration in cash and a limited range of prescribed fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and car parking. The total employment cost of any remuneration package, including fringe benefits tax, is taken into account in determining an employee’s fixed annual remuneration. Certain employees have been relocated from their country of origin. In some cases, expatriate employees are entitled to the payment or reimbursement of relocation costs (at the commencement and termination of the contract), annual return airfares to the employee’s country of origin and the provision of assistance to complete various taxation returns and visa applications. Variable remuneration – short term incentive (“STI”) Objective The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the operational targets with the remuneration received by the executives charged with meeting those targets. The total potential STI available is set at a level so as to provide sufficient incentive to the executive to achieve the operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances. 27 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure Actual STI payments granted to each executive depend on the extent to which specific operating targets, set at the beginning of the year, are met. The operational targets consist of a number of KPIs covering both financial and non-financial measures of performance. Typically, KPIs and assessment criteria include: • • • meeting of pre-determined growth in Group earnings over the prior year; meeting of strategic and operational objectives; and assessed personal effort and contribution. The Group has pre-determined benchmarks which must be met in order to trigger payments under the STI. The measures were chosen as they directly align the individual’s STI reward to the KPIs of the Group and to its strategies and performance. On an annual basis, after consideration of performance against KPIs, an overall performance rating for the Group and each individual business unit is assessed and approved by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The individual performance of each executive is also rated and all three ratings are taken into account when determining the amount, if any, of the STI pool to be allocated to each executive. The aggregate of annual STI payments available for executives across the Group is subject to the approval of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. STI payments are delivered as a cash bonus. For the Managing Director and named executives, the general target bonus opportunity range is from 0% to 150% of the executives’ fixed annual remuneration. The target bonus range for the Managing Director and named executives is detailed below: Executives DC Seargeant NC Arundel PC Bourke GC Dean MR Duff HR Eberstaller JM Hastings PW Horton (b) Maximum STI calculated on fixed annual remuneration (a) Group earnings divisional earnings special projects quantitative KPIs qualitative KPIs Allocated between: 150.0% 50.0% 40.0% 40.0% 50.0% 50.0% 50.0% 40.0% 60.0% 16.7% 20.0% 20.0% 16.7% 16.7% 16.7% 20.0% – 16.7% – – – 16.7% 16.7% – 35.0% – 4.0% 5.0% 11.1% – – 12.3% – 16.6% 4.0% 2.0% 13.9% – 16.6% – 55.0% – 12.0% 13.0% 8.3% 16.6% – 7.7% (a) Fixed annual remuneration is comprised of base salary, superannuation and benefits provided through salary sacrificing arrangements. (b) PW Horton ceased employment with the Group on 28 October 2011. There are no future STI payments available to Mr Horton. Bonuses may be paid above these levels at the discretion of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board, if it is assessed that an exceptional contribution has been made by an executive. There is no separate profit-share plan. Variable remuneration – long term incentive (“LTI”) Objective The Executive Performance Share Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting. The Executive Performance Share Plan was designed to link employee reward with KPIs that drive sustainable growth in shareholder value over the long term. The objectives of the LTI plan are to: • • • align senior employees’ incentives with shareholder interests; balance the short term with the long term Group focus; and retain high calibre senior employees by providing an attractive equity-based incentive that builds an ownership of the Group mindset. Only senior employees who are able to directly influence the long term success of the Group participate in the Executive Performance Share Plan. Structure Executives are awarded performance shares which will only vest on the achievement of certain performance hurdles and service conditions. An offer is made under the Executive Performance Share Plan to senior employees each financial year and is based on individual performance as assessed by the annual appraisal process. If a senior employee does not sustain a consistent level of high performance, they will not be nominated for Executive Performance Share Plan participation. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews all nominated senior employees with participation subject to final Board approval. In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, approval from shareholders is obtained before participation in the Executive Performance Share Plan commences for the Managing Director. 28 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Structure (continued) Each award of performance shares is divided into equal portions, with each portion being subject to a different performance hurdle. The performance hurdles are based on earnings per share (“EPS”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) growth of Amalgamated Holdings Limited as determined by the Board over a three year period (“Performance Period”). The extent to which the performance hurdles have been met will be assessed by the Board at the expiry of the Performance Period. The performance hurdles for the awards of performance shares to executives in the financial year ended 30 June 2012 are based on Amalgamated Holdings Limited’s EPS and TSR growth over the Performance Period of the three years from 30 June 2011 (being the “Base Year”) to 30 June 2014. The performance hurdles are as follows: EPS hurdle The EPS hurdle requires that the Group’s EPS growth for the Performance Period must be greater than the target set by the Board. The EPS hurdle was chosen as it provides evidence of the Group’s growth in earnings. The hurdle is as follows: • • if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is less than 8%, no shares will vest with the executive; if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period is equal to 8% but less than 12%, the proportion of performance shares vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if annual compound EPS growth over the Performance Period compared to the Base Year is equal to or greater than 12%, all of the performance shares awarded (and attaching to this hurdle) will vest with the executive. • If the EPS measure is not achieved within the initial performance measurement period to a threshold level or higher, there will be no entitlement to shares for a participant. If the EPS performance measure is achieved to a threshold level or higher in the initial period, it will not be retested. TSR hurdle The TSR hurdle requires that the growth in the Group’s TSR must be at or above the median of the Group’s comparator group (“comparator group”). The comparator group is the S&P/ASX 200 (excluding mining stocks). Growth in TSR is defined as share price growth and dividends paid and reinvested on the ex-dividend date (adjusted for rights and bonus issues and any capital reconstructions) measured from the time of issue to the time of vesting. The TSR performance hurdle was chosen as it is widely recognised as one of the best indicators of shareholder value creation. The comparator group for TSR purposes has been chosen as it represents the group with which the Group competes for shareholders’ capital. The hurdle is as follows: • if annual compound TSR growth over the Performance Period is less than the 51st percentile, no shares will vest with the executive; • if annual compound TSR growth over the Performance Period is equal to or exceeds the 51st percentile but is less than 75th percentile, the proportion of performance shares vesting will be increased on a pro-rata basis between 50% and 100%; or if annual compound TSR growth over the Performance Period is equal to or greater than 75th percentile, all of the performance shares awarded (and attaching to this hurdle) will vest with the executive. • The TSR calculation, once completed, is independently reviewed. If the TSR measure is not achieved within the initial performance measurement period to a threshold level or higher, there will be no entitlement to shares for a participant. If the TSR performance measure is achieved to a threshold level or higher in the initial period, it will not be retested. The Board has retained the discretion to vary the performance hurdles and criteria. Review of LTI During the year, the Board received advice from external consultants (refer page 30) regarding certain existing remuneration policies. As a consequence of the advice received, and in accordance with best practice, the Board has determined that it will review the existing LTI plan, and suitable alternative plans, during the 30 June 2013 year. Performance indices In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholders’ wealth, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has regard to the following indices in respect of the current year and the previous four years: 2012 $ 2011 $ 2010 $ 2009 $ 2008 $ Net profit before individually significant items, income tax and non-controlling interest * 106,564,000 104,269,000 127,255,000 94,144,000 77,738,000 Share price (year end) 6.45 5.80 5.70 4.30 4.87 * Refer to page 17 for a reconciliation to reported profit for the year. 29 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Employment contracts It is the Group’s policy that employment contracts for the Managing Director and each senior executive are unlimited in term. The employment contracts typically outline the components of remuneration paid to the Managing Director and executives but do not prescribe how remuneration levels are to be modified from year to year. Generally, remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account Consumer Price Index changes, and any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy. Termination provisions in the employment contracts with the named executives are summarised in the table below: Executives Termination by executive Termination by Group Expiry date of contract DC Seargeant The notice period is three months. NC Arundel PC Bourke GC Dean MR Duff HR Eberstaller PW Horton (a) JM Hastings The notice period is four weeks. The notice period is one month. The notice period for the Group is one month. On termination, the Group may make a payment in lieu of notice, equal to the notice period. The Group retains the right to terminate the contract immediately under certain conditions. On termination, the executive is entitled to accrued annual and long service benefits. There are no other termination payments. Payment of any LTI incentive (or pro-rata thereof) is at the discretion of the Board. Not applicable, rolling contracts. (a) PW Horton ceased employment with the Group on 28 October 2011. Use of remuneration consultants In May 2012, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee employed the services of Godfrey Remuneration Group Pty Limited (“GRG”) to review its existing remuneration policies and to provide recommendations in respect of the remuneration of the executive and non-executive directors. Under the terms of the engagement, GRG provided remuneration recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 and was paid $16,500 for these services. GRG has confirmed that the above recommendations have been made free from undue influence by members of the Group's key management personnel. The following arrangements were made to ensure that the remuneration recommendations were free from undue influence: • GRG was engaged by, and reported directly to, the chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The agreement for the provision of remuneration consulting services was executed by the chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee under delegated authority on behalf of the Board; The report containing the remuneration recommendations was provided by GRG directly to the chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee; and • • GRG was permitted to speak to management throughout the engagement to understand company processes, practices and other business issues. However, GRG was not permitted to provide any member of management with a copy of their draft or final report that contained the remuneration recommendations. As a consequence, the Board is satisfied that the recommendations were made free from undue influence from any members of the key management personnel. Voting and comments made at the 2011 Annual General Meeting The Company received more than 95% of votes in favour of the Group remuneration report for the 2011 financial year. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the Annual General Meeting on its remuneration practices. 30 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 D I R E C T O R S ’ R E P O R T Key management personnel Key management personnel have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, including directors of the Company and executives.

Information relating to the insurance contracts is set out within this Remuneration Report. The amounts disclosed in the table above relate to premiums paid by the Group for group salary continuance insurance. Amounts disclosed above for remuneration relating to performance shares have been determined in accordance with the requirements of AASB 2 Share-based Payment. AASB 2 requires the measurement of the fair value of performance shares at the grant date and then to have that value apportioned in equal amounts over the period from grant date to vesting date. A value has been placed on the performance shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Details of performance shares on issue are set out within the Remuneration Report and further details on the terms and conditions of these performance shares is set out in Note 30 to the financial report. There were no amounts accrued during the year relating to the Directors’ Retirement Plan. In the previous financial year, an amount of $165,000, which had been accrued in prior years, was paid to RM Graham on his resignation from the Board. Further information regarding the Directors’ Retirement Plan has been included within the Remuneration Report. VA Davies was appointed on 20 April 2011. (d) (e) RM Graham resigned on 20 April 2011.

L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Amalgamated Holdings Limited (“Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2012 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. Amalgamated Holdings Limited is a for-profit company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares. The shares are publicly traded on the ASX. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in Note 2. The financial report was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of Amalgamated Holdings Limited on 23 August 2012. (a) (b) (i) (ii) Statement of compliance The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board. Basis of preparation Basis of measurement The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the Statement of Financial Position which are measured at fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial assets classified as available-for-sale, liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments and investment properties. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other 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. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods if affected. Judgements made by management in the application of AASBs that have a significant effect on the financial report and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 1(aa). (iii) Functional and presentation currency The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and the functional currency of the Group is Australian dollars. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with the Class Order, amounts in the financial report and Directors’ Report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated. (iv) Change in significant accounting policies The accounting policies described in this note have been applied consistently to all periods presented in this financial report and have been applied consistently by all entities in the Group, except as explained in this note which addresses changes in accounting policies. From 1 July 2011 the Group has applied the amendments outlined in AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards arising from the annual improvements project, AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards and AASB 124 (2009) Related Party Disclosures, which did not have a significant impact on the financial report of the Group. A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are available for early adoption or are not yet ready for adoption and have therefore not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for: • • AASB 9 Financial Instruments (December 2010), which becomes mandatory for the Group's 2016 consolidated financial statements and could change the classification and measurement of financial assets; and AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, which becomes mandatory for the Group's 2014 consolidated financial statements and could result in a change in the accounting treatment of the Group’s interest in various jointly controlled entities. The Group does not plan to adopt the above standards early and the extent of the impact has not been determined. 43 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (c) (i) Basis of consolidation 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. Under the acquisition method, consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is measured as the sum of the fair values at acquisition date of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration and share-based payment awards of the acquiree that are replaced mandatorily in the business combination. For acquisitions on or after 1 July 2009, the Group measures goodwill arising from the business combination at the acquisition date as the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the consideration transferred is lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if the liability represents a present obligation and arises from past events, and its fair value can be measured. The Group measures any non-controlling interest at its proportionate interest of the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquiree. (ii) (iii) Transaction costs incurred by the Group in connection with a business combination, such as due diligence fees, legal fees and other professional costs, are expensed as incurred. Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Associates and jointly controlled entities (“equity accounted investees”) Associates are those entities for which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. Jointly controlled entities are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of associates and jointly controlled entities, after adjustment to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. The Group’s share of movements in reserves is recognised directly in consolidated equity. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has legal or constructive obligations to make payments on behalf of the investee. (iv) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-Group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial report. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. 44 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (d) (i) (ii) Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the year end date are translated to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation that is effective, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. Financial statements of foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the reserve is transferred to profit or loss. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant portion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. (iii) Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and the effective portion of related hedges, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. They are released to profit or loss as an adjustment to profit or loss on disposal. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned or likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. (e) Derivative financial instruments From time to time, the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (refer Note 1(f)). The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at the reporting date, being the present value of the quoted forward price. (f) Hedge accounting On entering into a hedging relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. The Group makes an assessment, both at inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they are designated. 45 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (i) (ii) (g) (i) Cash flow hedges Where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the variability in cash flows of a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecast transaction, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the hedging reserve. When the forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, or the forecast transaction for a non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, then the associated gains and losses that were recognised directly in equity are reclassified into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects profit or loss (i.e. when interest income or expense is recognised). For cash flow hedges, the associated cumulative gain or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the Income Statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects profit or loss. Any ineffective portion of change in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is kept in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If a hedge transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is reclassified in profit or loss. Hedge of net investment in foreign operations The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation, that is determined to be an effective hedge, is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in equity in the hedging reserve. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Property, plant and equipment Owned assets Items of property, plant and equipment (except for investment properties – refer Note 1(g)(ii)) are stated at cost or deemed cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of assets represents the fair value of the consideration provided, plus incidental costs, directly attributable to the acquisition and may also include: • • • • the initial estimate of the cost at the time of installation and during the period of use, when relevant and probable, of removing items and restoring the site on which they are located (decommissioning); changes in the measurement of existing liabilities recognised for decommissioning costs resulting from changes in the discount rate applied to these future liabilities or changes to estimates of cost; transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment; and the borrowing cost related to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets (refer Note 1(v)). Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable are recorded at their present value, discounted at the rate applicable to the Group if a similar borrowing were obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. The unwinding of the discount is treated as interest expense. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. (ii) Investment properties Investment properties comprise land and buildings which are held for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation, or both, and are not occupied by the Group in the ordinary course of business or for administration purposes. Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Property that is being constructed or redeveloped for future use as an investment property is also measured at fair value (unless a fair value cannot be reliably determined). When the use of a property changes from owner occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified as an investment property. Any difference at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the property immediately prior to transfer and its fair value is recognised directly to the investment property revaluation reserve if it is an increase and to profit or loss if it is a decrease. A gain may be recognised to profit on re-measurement only to the extent it reverses a previous impairment loss on the property. 46 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Investment properties (continued) Transfers are made from investment properties to inventories when there is a change in use as evidenced by the commencement of development with a view to sell. Investment properties are derecognised when they have either been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the derecognition of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the period of derecognition. Leased assets Leases for property, plant and equipment under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases. Finance leases are capitalised. Upon initial recognition, a lease asset is measured at the lower of its fair value and the present value of minimum lease payments. Contingent rentals are written off as an expense of the accounting period in which they are incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy of the applicable asset. The interest component of finance lease payments is charged to profit or loss. Payments made under operating leases are charged against profits in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property. Subsequent costs The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: Buildings Plant and equipment Fixtures and fittings Leasehold buildings and improvements 40 – 80 years 3 – 20 years 3 – 10 years Shorter of estimated useful life and term of lease. Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held ready for use. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted prospectively if appropriate. (h) (i) Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill that arises from a business combination is initially measured as described in Note 1(c)(i). Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the business combination’s synergies. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. The carrying amount of goodwill in respect of associates and jointly controlled entities is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or jointly controlled entity. (ii) Construction rights Construction rights relate to the Group’s ability to develop accommodation in the Thredbo Alpine Resort. Construction rights are recognised at cost and are derecognised as the rights are either sold or developed. The carrying value of construction rights is reviewed annually. Any amounts no longer considered recoverable are written off, with the impairment loss recorded in profit or loss. 47 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (iii) Other intangible assets Other intangible assets, which largely comprise management and leasehold rights and software, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Management rights are amortised over the life of the management agreements on a straight-line basis. Software for major operating systems is amortised over a four to five year period on a straight-line basis. (i) Impairment The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time. The recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell, and its 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 or cash-generating unit. 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. In assessing fair value less costs to sell, the Group obtains market valuations for all properties on a triennial basis. Impairment of receivables is not recognised until objective evidence is available that a loss event has occurred. Receivables are individually assessed for impairment. Where the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying value of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit on a pro-rata basis. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss unless the asset or its cash-generating unit has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of the previous revaluation, with any excess recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, 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 only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (j) Investments All investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. After initial recognition, investments, which are classified as available-for-sale, are measured at fair value. Available-for-sale financial assets comprise marketable equity securities. For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to securities exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business at reporting date. Gains or losses on available-for-sale investments are recognised as a separate component of equity in the available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised in profit or loss in respect of an available-for-sale investment is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the investment’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised. (k) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Work in progress is valued at cost. Cost is based on the first-in- first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing condition and location. The cost of inventories may also include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of inventories. (See Note 1(f)). Transfers are made from investment properties to inventories when there is a change in use as evidenced by the commencement of development with a view to sale. (See Note 1(g)). (l) Contract work in progress For equipment build and cinema installation contracts, profit is brought to account on a percentage of completion basis. 48 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (m) (n) (o) (p) (q) (i) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the Statement of Cash Flows. Receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Where the payment terms for the sale of an asset are deferred, the receivable is discounted using the prevailing rate for a similar instrument of an issuer with similar credit terms. The unwinding of the discount is treated as finance revenue. Payables Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Trade accounts payable are normally non-interest bearing and settled within 30 days. Borrowings Interest bearing and non-interest bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Provisions Employee benefits Provision is made for employee benefits including annual leave for employees and the retirement benefits for qualifying non-executive directors. The provision is calculated as the present value of the Group’s net obligation to pay such benefits resulting from the employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. The provisions due or available to be settled within 12 months have been calculated at undiscounted amounts based on the remuneration rates the employer expects to pay after the reporting date and includes related on-costs. The liability for employees’ benefits to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to the reporting date. Liabilities for employee benefits which are not due to be settled within 12 months are discounted using the rates attaching to national government securities at reporting date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities. In determining the liability for employee benefits, consideration has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates, and the Group’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability. (ii) Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under that contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with the contract. The provision recognised is based on the excess of the estimated cash flows to meet the unavoidable costs under the contract over the estimated cash flows to be received in relation to the contract, having regard to the risks of the activities relating to the contract. The net estimated cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government guaranteed bonds with terms to maturity that match, as closely as possible, the expected future cash flows. (iii) Decommissioning of leasehold improvements A provision for the estimated cost of decommissioning leasehold improvements is made where a legal or constructive obligation exists. In determining the provision for decommissioning costs, an assessment is made for each location of the likelihood and amount of the decommissioning costs to be incurred in the future. The estimated future liability is discounted to a present value, with the discount amount unwinding over the life of the leasehold asset as an interest expense recorded in profit or loss. The estimated decommissioning cost recognised as a provision is included as part of the cost of the leasehold improvements at the time of installation or during the term of the lease, as the liability for decommissioning is reassessed. This amount capitalised is then depreciated over the life of the asset. (iv) Other Other provisions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. 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, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. 49 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (r) (s) (i) (ii) (t) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) Superannuation plans The Group contributes to several defined contribution superannuation plans. Contributions are charged against income as they are made. These contributions are in accordance with the relevant trust deeds and the Superannuation Guarantee Levy. Share-based payment transactions – employee share plans Executive Performance Share Plan Equity-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Executive Performance Share Plan. The fair value of performance shares granted under the Executive Performance Share Plan is recognised as an employee expense over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the shares. There is a corresponding increase in equity, being recognition of a share-based payments reserve. The fair value of performance shares granted is measured at grant date. The fair value of the shares was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the shares were granted. To facilitate the operation of the Executive Performance Share Plan, a third party trustee is used to administer the trust which holds shares allocated under the Executive Performance Share Plan. The trust is controlled by the Group and therefore its financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements. The shares in the Group held by the trust are therefore shown as treasury shares (see note 26). Performance shares are subject to performance hurdles. The performance shares are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as restricted ordinary shares. Performance shares are included within the weighted average number of shares used as the denominator for determining basic earnings per share and net tangible asset backing per share. The Group incurs expenses on behalf of the trust. These expenses are in relation to administration costs of the trust and are recorded in the Income Statement as incurred. Employee Share Plan The Group has in prior years issued shares to certain employees under an Employee Share Plan. No shares have been issued under this plan since February 1998. Other than costs incurred in administering the scheme which are expensed as incurred, the scheme does not result in any expense to the Group. Revenue recognition Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received, net of the amount of goods and services tax (“GST”), or equivalent tax in overseas jurisdictions. Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods comprises revenue earned (net of returns, discounts, allowances and GST or equivalent tax in overseas jurisdictions) from the provision of products to entities outside the Group. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the customer. Rendering of services and deferred revenue Revenue from rendering services is recognised in the period in which the service is provided. Revenue relating to future periods which is not yet recognised because the service is yet to be provided or the admission made, is shown on the Statement of Financial Position as deferred revenue. Revenues from advance movie ticket and gift card sales are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognised when tickets or gift cards are redeemed. Interest and dividend revenue Interest income is recognised as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset. Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Rental income Rental income is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income. Sale of non-current assets The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds from the disposal. 50 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (vi) (u) Customer loyalty programs The Group operates loyalty programs where customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitles them to discounts on future purchases. The award points are recognised as a separately identifiable component of the initial sale transaction, by allocating the fair value of the consideration received between the award points and the components of the sale such that the award points are recognised at their fair value. The fair value of the points is estimated based on the fair value of the goods and services received and adjusted to take into account the expected forfeiture rate. Revenue from the award points is recognised when the points are redeemed or the options expire. The amount of the revenue is based on the number of points redeemed relative to the total number expected to be redeemed. Goods and services tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, or equivalent tax in overseas jurisdictions, except where the amount of GST or equivalent tax incurred is not recoverable from the local taxation authorities. In these circumstances, the tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST or equivalent tax included. The net amount of the tax recoverable from, or payable to, taxation authorities is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST or equivalent tax components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, taxation authorities are classified as operating cash flows. (v) Finance costs Finance costs include interest, unwinding of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings and lease finance charges. Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings. Finance costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take more than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is that incurred in relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are recognised in profit and loss using the effective interest method. (w) (i) Taxation Income tax Income tax expense in the Income Statement for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: taxable temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. (ii) Tax consolidation regime The Company and its Australian wholly owned subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax consolidated group are taxed as a single entity. Amalgamated Holdings Limited is the head entity within the tax consolidated group. 51 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (x) Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, including revenues and expenses from transactions with other Group segments. All segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Managing Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to the Managing Director include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate head office assets, head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Additions to non-current segment assets are the total cost incurred during the period to acquire assets that include amounts expected to be recovered over more than 12 months after the year end date. Amounts include property, plant and equipment, but exclude financial instruments and deferred tax assets. (y) (i) (ii) (z) Share capital Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Treasury shares Performance Share Plan Shares held by the Group’s employee share plan trust are recognised as treasury shares and deducted from equity. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to members of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company. Diluted EPS adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic EPS to take into account the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. (aa) Accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below: (i) Recoverable amount of assets The Group has undertaken assessments of whether long-lived assets including property assets, goodwill and plant and equipment could be deemed to be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of these assets, assumptions are made regarding the estimated future cash flows and other factors, including the pre-tax discount rate to be applied, to determine the recoverable amount of the respective assets. The estimate of cash flow is based upon, among other things, certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. Estimates of discounted cash flow may differ from actual cash flow due to factors such as economic conditions, changes to business models or changes in operating performance. If the sum of the discounted estimated cash flows is less than the current carrying value, an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset, is recognised. The Group has also previously recognised impairment write-downs for property, plant and equipment. Where trading circumstances improve at the previously impaired site, an assessment of recoverable value is made to determine if an impairment loss can be reversed, net of depreciation that would have been incurred had no impairment loss been recognised. These determinations also require estimates and assumptions with regard to the future trading performance of those assets. Refer Notes 17 and 19 for details of key estimates and assumptions in respect of impairments. 52 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) (ii) (iii) (iv) (i) (ii) (ab) Fair value of investment properties Investment properties are independently revalued to fair value each reporting period, with any gain or loss arising on remeasurement being recognised in profit or loss. In assessing the fair value of properties, a number of assumptions are made at the end of each reporting period regarding future cash flows, future property market economic conditions and other factors including cash flow discount rates and rental capitalisation rates. The carrying value of investment properties is disclosed in Note 18 along with a summary of the movements in the carrying value. Share-based payment transactions The Group measures the cost of the Executive Performance Share Plan by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which the shares are granted. The fair value of performance shares granted is determined by an external valuer using a Monte Carlo simulation model using the assumptions detailed in Note 30. Taxation The Group has unrecognised deferred tax assets in respect of certain foreign tax revenue losses – refer to Note 7. The utilisation of the tax revenue losses is dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable profits within the applicable foreign tax entities and a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is supported by sufficient forecast taxable profits. Assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable profits relevant to those foreign tax entities has been based upon management’s budget estimates and forecasts. Management considers that the forecast of taxable profits for the applicable foreign tax entities are subject to risk and uncertainty; hence, the Group has not recognised all of the losses as a deferred tax asset. Critical judgements Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is: Classification of properties The Group holds three properties which were previously operating cinema sites. Pending completion and approval of plans for the long term use of these properties, they have not been classified as investment properties. These properties continue to be accounted for using the cost basis rather than the fair value basis which is applied to investment properties. Contingent assets and liabilities Refer Note 32 for estimates and judgements made in relation to contingent assets and liabilities. Discontinued operations A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business that has been disposed of or is held for sale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income are re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period. 53 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 2 – SEGMENT REPORTING Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s reporting segments. These are the Group’s main strategic business segments and have differing risks and rewards associated with the business due to their different product or service and geographic markets. For each of these operating segments, the Group’s Managing Director regularly reviews internal management reports. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax as included in the internal management reports. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of segments relative to other businesses. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise interest bearing loans and borrowings and borrowing costs, interest income and corporate head office assets and expenses. Operating segments The Group comprises the following main operating segments: Cinema Exhibition Australia Includes the cinema exhibition operations in Australia. Cinema Exhibition New Zealand Includes cinema exhibition operations in New Zealand as well as a joint venture interest in two cinema sites in Fiji. These cinema exhibition operations were acquired on 18 February 2010. Cinema Exhibition Germany Includes the cinema exhibition operations in Germany. Cinema Exhibition United Arab Emirates Includes the Group’s 49% investment in cinema exhibition operations in the United Arab Emirates. The Group’s interest in the United Arab Emirates associate was sold on 25 October 2010. See Note 5. Entertainment Technology Includes theatre equipment supply and servicing and the manufacture of film processors and related equipment. Hotels Includes the ownership operation and management of hotels in Australia and overseas. Thredbo Alpine Resort Includes all the operations of the resort including property development activities. Leisure/Attractions Includes ancillary leisure and other activities including Featherdale Wildlife Park and The State Theatre. Property and Other Investments Includes property rental, investment properties and available-for-sale investments. Geographical information Also presented is information on the Group’s split of revenue and non-current assets by geographic location. Geographic revenue is based on the geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the assets. The Group operates in Australia, New Zealand and Germany. The Group also operated in the United Arab Emirates until 25 October 2010. 54 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 S T N E M E T A T S L A I C N A N I F E H T O T S E T O N 2 1 0 2 E N U J 0 3 D E D N E R A E Y E H T R O F d e t a d i l o s n o C : s s e L 0 0 0 ’ $ i g n u n i t n o c s n o i t a r e p o 0 0 0 ’ $ s n o i t a r e p o d e u n i t n o c s i D 0 0 0 ’ $ 0 0 0 ’ $ d e t a d i l o s n o C s t n e m t s e v n I r e h t O d n a y t r e p o r P 0 0 0 ’ $ / e r u s i e L s n o i t c a r t t A i e n p A l o b d e r h T 0 0 0 ’ $ t r o s e R 0 0 0 ’ $ s l e t o H 0 0 0 ’ $ l y g o o n h c e T 0 0 0 ’ $ s e t a r i m E i t n e m n a t r e t n E b a r A d e t i n U 0 0 0 ’ $ y n a m r e G 0 0 0 ’ $ d n a l a e Z w e N 0 0 0 ’ $ a i l a r t s u A I G N T R O P E R T N E M G E S – 2 E T O N ) d e u n i t n o c ( e m o c n i r e h t o d n a e u n e v e R s t n e m g e s g n i t a r e p O 2 1 0 2 i n o i t i b h x E a m e n C i 2 0 7 , 2 7 7 2 6 2 , 1 1 8 5 0 , 1 2 7 7 7 1 0 , 4 6 1 1 , 9 0 8 ) 2 6 2 , 1 1 ( 4 5 8 , 7 9 7 5 4 8 , 2 8 8 0 3 , 0 4 3 5 1 , 3 2 1 6 4 1 , 1 ) 0 7 4 , 4 1 ( 9 2 8 , 9 0 1 ) 7 8 0 , 0 3 ( 2 4 7 , 9 7 ) 0 5 3 , 7 3 ( ) 8 2 2 , 8 1 ( 8 5 2 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 2 0 7 , 2 7 7 6 3 0 , 5 1 7 3 3 , 3 1 8 8 9 , 1 5 3 7 2 , 0 7 1 2 6 2 , 1 1 8 5 0 , 1 2 7 7 7 1 0 , 4 6 1 1 , 9 0 8 ) 2 6 2 , 1 1 ( 4 5 8 , 7 9 7 5 4 8 , 2 8 8 0 3 , 0 4 3 5 1 , 3 2 1 6 4 1 , 1 ) 0 7 4 , 4 1 ( 9 2 8 , 9 0 1 ) 7 8 0 , 0 3 ( 2 4 7 , 9 7 ) 0 5 3 , 7 3 ( ) 8 2 2 , 8 1 ( 8 5 2 – 1 2 6 – – – 0 5 – 7 9 8 , 2 1 6 6 , 5 – 1 6 6 , 5 4 9 7 , 3 – 4 9 7 , 3 1 0 7 , 0 1 – 1 0 7 , 0 1 5 6 0 , 9 – 5 6 0 , 9 – – – – – – ) 1 5 1 , 2 ( ) 8 9 3 ( ) 0 6 6 , 3 ( – ) 8 3 6 , 2 1 ( ) 0 0 5 , 7 1 ( – 0 2 5 , 0 3 2 6 2 , 1 1 0 1 9 5 5 1 9 – – ) 5 0 3 ( – – – – – – – – – 0 6 2 , 5 6 2 3 7 3 , 2 6 5 1 9 , 3 6 1 e u n e v e r t n e m g e s l a n r e t x E – 2 3 2 , 7 1 – 8 5 2 – – e m o c n i r e h t o d n a e u n e v e r e u n e v e r d e t a c o l l a n u r e h t O l a t o T e u n e v e r t n e m g e s -

Included in the deferred tax assets not recognised is the gross value of tax revenue losses arising in Germany worth $48,852,000 (2011: $74,109,000). The availability of these tax losses is subject to certain utilisation limits and ongoing availability tests under German tax law. At 30 June 2012, there was no recognised deferred income tax liability (2011: $nil) for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Group’s subsidiaries, associates or incorporated jointly controlled entities.

valuations of interest in land and buildings In assessing current values for the Group’s interest in land and buildings and integral plant and equipment, including long term leasehold land and improvements, directors have relied upon independent valuations from registered qualified valuers. Except for investment properties, which are revalued every half year (refer Note 18), valuations are generally carried out on a progressive three year cycle. The last valuations have been completed as at June 2012, June 2010 and June 2009. Most recent valuations of interest in land and buildings, excluding investment properties Due to the diversity of the Group’s operations, valuations have been prepared on a highest and best alternate use or existing use basis. A summary, by year of the last valuation, is set out as follows: Highest and best alternate use Independent valuation – 2012 – 2009 Existing use Independent valuation – 2012 – 2010 – 2009 – 2009 Land and buildings not independently valued Acquisition cost of properties acquired since June 2009 not yet independently valued The above valuations do not take into account the potential impact of capital gains tax. 2012 $’000 2011 $’000 44,650 – 499,834 191,698 84,000 – 820,182 – 820,182 – 54,500 – 202,199 84,000 331,815 672,514 81,061 753,575 The written-down book value of plant and equipment which is deemed integral to land and buildings, has been determined to total approximately $93,200,000 as at 30 June 2012 (2011: $83,200,000). Impairments Land and buildings, resort apartments and share of common property During the year ended 30 June 2012, the trading performance of certain hotel properties caused the Group to reassess their recoverable amount. Hotel properties are treated as separate cash-generating units and their recoverable values were estimated based on their value in use. In determining the estimated value in use, discount rates in the range of 12.71% to 13.18% (2011: 11.4% to 12.8%) per annum were used. Cash flows were projected based on actual operating results, with longer term cash flows, after the initial forecast periods, extrapolated using average expected growth rates of 3.0% (2011: 2.5% to 3.2%) per annum. As a result of these assessments, impairment losses totalling $16,700,000 (2011: $nil) were recognised in respect of hotel properties. Given the long life nature of these assets, the estimates of their recoverable value in use are particularly sensitive to changes in certain key assumptions. Although all assumptions used are considered to be appropriate at this time, an increase of 1 percentage point in the discount rate, for the hotel properties assessed, would increase the impairment loss by $8,524,000. A 1 percentage point decrease in the discount rate would reduce the impairment loss by $10,314,000. A 10% decrease in the forecast earnings would increase the impairment loss by $7,979,000 and a 10% increase in forecast earnings would decrease the impairment loss by $7,430,000. 72 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 17 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued) Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment During the year ended 30 June 2012, impairment write-downs totalling $1,528,000 (2011: $655,000) were made in respect of plant and equipment and leasehold improvements at certain hotel properties and at a small number cinema sites in Germany. Also during the year ended 30 June 2012, impairment write-downs made in prior years for a cinema site in New Zealand were reversed to the value of $258,000 (2011: impairment reversal of $325,000). These write-downs and write-backs were deemed appropriate, using the value in use method, due to changes in cash flow generated by the sites resulting from a general improvement or decline in trading performance. Write- downs were also made where there is a planned closure of a site. The impairment write-backs did not exceed the carrying amount of the assets that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised. In assessing the recoverable amount for plant and equipment and leasehold improvements at these cinema and hotel sites, a discount rate of 12.0% to 13.58% (2011:12.2% to 12.65%) per annum has been applied to projected future cash flows which included a growth rate of 2% to 3% (2011: 2%) per annum. Security The following assets, whose carrying values are listed below, are subject to mortgage security to secure the Group’s bank loan facilities. Refer Note 23.

Fair values were determined having regard to recent market transactions for similar properties in the same location as the Group’s investment properties. For five of the six investment properties held by the Group, the valuer used capitalisation rates on reversionary rental yields in the range of 6.57% to 9.5% (2011: 6.5% to 9.0%) to determine fair values. For the remaining investment property, the valuer concluded that the appropriate fair value was best determined through categorising the property as a future development site. To derive the fair value for that investment property, the valuer has utilised a discounted cash flow analysis over the term of the existing lease and applied a discount rate of 9.5% per annum with an escalated terminal value, based on the current land value of the property. Investment properties comprise a number of commercial properties that are leased to third parties and which are held to derive rental income or capital appreciation or both. Each of the leases for investment properties contains an initial non-cancellable period of between five to 15 years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. No contingent rents are charged for these investment properties.

This calculation uses cash flow projections based on actual operating results and projected five year results, with cash flows beyond the five year period being projected using a per annum growth rate of negative 2.5% to 2%, which is considered appropriate given economic indicators and the expected long term increase in revenue and operating costs in these markets. Pre-tax discount rates of 11.24% and 12.0% (2011: 12.2% and 12.65%) per annum have been used in discounting the projected cash flows. In management’s assessment, there are no reasonable possible changes in assumptions that would give rise to an impairment.

Provisions have been raised for the forecast net deficits resulting from obligations under the leases. For further detail on the basis of accounting, refer Note 1(q)(ii). Insurance loss contingencies and other claims The provision relates to estimated costs to be incurred in respect of various claims that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date. Decommissioning of leasehold improvements The decommissioning of leasehold improvements provision has been raised in respect of “make-good” obligations under long term lease contracts for cinema sites. In determining the provision, an assessment has been made, for each location, of the likelihood that a decommissioning cost will be incurred in the future and, where applicable, the level of costs to be incurred. Uncertainty exists in estimating the level of costs to be incurred in the future because of the long term nature of cinema leases. The basis of accounting is set out in Note 1(q)(iii).

The Group’s activities expose it to the following financial risks: • • • credit risk; liquidity risk; and market risk, including interest rate risk and currency risk. The Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of the risk management framework. Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly and modified as appropriate to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Audit Committee oversees how management has established and monitors internal compliance and control systems and to ensure the appropriate and effective management of the above risks. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the Internal Auditor. The Internal Auditor undertakes reviews of risk management controls and procedures in accordance with an annual plan approved by the Audit Committee. The results of these Internal Audit reviews are reported to the Audit Committee. Credit risk Credit risk arises from trade and other receivables outstanding, cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions. It is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to the financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables from customers. Trade and other receivables The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, have less of an influence on credit risk. Exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Management has established a credit policy under which each new customer requiring credit over a certain amount is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment terms and conditions are offered. Purchase limits are established for major customers, which represent the maximum open amount without requiring additional approval from management. The Group has established an allowance for impairment that represents their estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main component of this allowance relates to exposures for specific debtors. Investments and derivatives Investments of surplus cash and deposits and derivative financial instruments are with banks with high credit ratings. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations. At 30 June 2012, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the Statement of Financial Position. Guarantees All guarantees are in respect of obligations of subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities in which the Group has an interest. Details of guarantees given by the Group are provided in Note 32. Details of guarantees given by the parent entity are provided in Note 28. The Group’s exposure to credit risk The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: Unquoted investment in other entities Available-for-sale financial assets Trade and other receivables Cash and cash equivalents Short term deposits Security deposits in respect of long term operating leases 82 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 Note 14 15 11 10 10 20 2012 $’000 2011 $’000 315 10,032 40,514 63,309 – 1,137 115,307 315 10,762 38,755 50,581 65,000 1,633 167,046 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 29 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The maximum exposure to credit risk for receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was: Australia New Zealand Germany and other Euro-zone countries United Kingdom Other The maximum exposure to credit risk for receivables by reportable segment at the reporting date was: Cinema Exhibition – Australia Cinema Exhibition – New Zealand Cinema Exhibition – Germany Entertainment Technology Hotels Thredbo Alpine Resort Leisure/Attractions Property and Other Investments Other 2012 $’000 28,450 3,333 8,717 14 – 40,514 7,917 898 8,583 5,453 10,885 565 180 1,113 4,920 40,514 2011 $’000 28,534 3,808 6,376 9 28 38,755 5,043 585 5,500 5,174 10,556 1,328 228 3,962 6,379 38,755 Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Group Treasury aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available with a number of counterparties. Bank debt facilities available to the Group are detailed in Note 23.

Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, 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, whilst optimising the return. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Derivatives are used exclusively for hedging purposes and are not traded or used as speculative instruments. This is carried out under treasury policies approved by the Board. Interest rate risk The Group manages interest rate exposures on borrowings in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. The policy specifies upper and lower hedging limits set for specific timeframes out to five years. These limits may be varied with approval of the Board. At the reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest bearing financial instruments was: Fixed rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities Variable rate instruments Financial assets Financial liabilities 2012 $’000 – – – 2011 $’000 – – – 51,807 (46,981) 4,826 110,495 (46,321) 64,174 The Group manages interest rate risk in accordance with a Board approved policy covering the types of instruments, range of protection and duration of instruments. The financial instruments cover interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. Maturities of these instruments are up to a maximum of five years. Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements allow the Group to raise long term borrowings at floating rates and swap a portion of those borrowings into fixed rates. The approved range of interest rate cover is based on the projected debt levels for each currency and reduced for each future year. At 30 June 2012, the Group had no interest rate hedges (2011: 17% of debt hedged) due to the low level of Group debt. 84 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 29 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) The Group classifies interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges and states them at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position. Details on the major components of the Group’s interest bearing liabilities are disclosed in Notes 22 and 23. Sensitivity analysis Sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments The Group accounts for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The movement in fair value of interest rate swaps that have been deemed ineffective, are accounted for through profit or loss. Where the Group’s derivatives (interest rate swaps) qualify for hedge accounting, the movement in fair value of those effective interest rate swaps is accounted for in equity in the hedging reserve. Therefore, only those interest rate swaps that have been deemed ineffective are exposed to market rate changes that would impact on profit or loss. At 30 June 2012, if prevailing market interest rates had moved by +/- 1% (100 basis points) per annum from year end rates, the effect on the Group’s post-tax profit and equity, assuming all other variables remain constant, would have been as illustrated below: 2012 Variable rate instruments Interest rate swaps 2011 Variable rate instruments Interest rate swaps Profit or loss expense/(income) 100 bp increase $’000 100 bp decrease $’000 Hedging reserve (gain)/loss 100 bp increase $’000 100 bp decrease $’000 (34) – (34) (449) (70) (519) 34 – 34 449 70 519 – – – – (34) (34) – – – – 33 33 The movement in profit is due to the higher or lower interest income or costs resulting from a change in rate receivable or payable on variable rate deposits, debt and net interest rate swaps. The movement in equity in the hedging reserve is due to an increase or decrease in the fair value of derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedges, net of tax. Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on purchases, borrowings and surplus funds that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (“AUD”), but also the New Zealand dollar (“NZD”), Euro (“EUR”) and Great British pound (“GBP”). Transactions undertaken by Group entities are primarily denominated in AUD, NZD, EUR and US dollars (“USD”). The Group manages foreign currency exposures in accordance with a Board approved treasury policy that specifies parameters for hedging, including hedging percentages and approved hedging instruments. At any point in time, the Group hedges up to 60% of “highly probable” foreign currency exposures and 100% of confirmed foreign currency exposures. Typically, foreign currency exposures are hedged with the utilisation of forward exchange contracts. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk in AUD equivalents at the reporting date was as follows, based on notional amounts: Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables Secured bank loans Trade payables Gross balance sheet exposure Interest rate swaps Forward exchange contracts NZD $’000 596 264 (46,981) (140) (46,261) – – – Net exposure (46,261) 117 85 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 2012 EUR $’000 GBP $’000 USD $’000 117 – – – 117 – – – 38 – – – 38 – – – 38 234 – – – 234 – (18) (18) 216 NZD $’000 762 1,178 (46,321) (890) (45,271) (85) – (85) (45,356) 2011 EUR $’000 GBP $’000 24 – – – 24 – – – 24 6 – – – 6 – – – 6 USD $’000 3,090 – – – 3,090 – (10) (10) 3,080 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 29 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Sensitivity analysis A 10% strengthening/weakening of the Australian dollar against the following currencies at 30 June 2012 would have (decreased)/increased Group equity and profit (pre-tax) by the amounts shown below.

The carrying amount of the loan at 30 June 2012 was $46,981,000 (2011: $46,321,000). A foreign exchange loss of $660,000 (2011: profit of $1,764,000) was recognised in equity on translation of the loan to AUD. The majority of the movement in the AUD/NZD sensitivity analysis in the table above is attributed to movements in the holding value of this NZD bank loan. This movement would have an opposite movement in the AUD holding value of the underlying hedged investment in New Zealand. 86 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 29 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Fair values The fair values of financial assets and liabilities together with their carrying amounts shown in the Statement of Financial Position are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Short term deposits Trade and other receivables Present value of loans provided under the Employee Share Plan Other financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets Security deposits – operating leases Bank loans Loans from other companies Payables Interest rate swaps Forward exchange contracts 2012 Carrying amount $’000 Fair value $’000 2011 Carrying amount $’000 Fair value $’000 63,309 – 40,337 177 315 10,032 1,137 (44,767) (2,034) (86,443) – (18) (17,955) 63,309 – 40,337 177 315 10,032 1,137 (46,981) (2,034) (86,443) – (18) (20,169) 50,581 65,000 38,533 222 315 10,762 1,633 (46,022) (1,416) (75,928) (221) (10) 43,449 50,581 65,000 38,533 222 315 10,762 1,633 (46,321) (1,416) (75,928) (221) (10) 43,150 Note 10 10 11 11 14 15 20 22 22 21 25 25 Estimation of fair values The following summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments reflected in the table above: Trade and other receivables/payables For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the notional amount is deemed to reflect the fair value. All other receivables/payables are discounted to determine the fair value where an appropriate rate of interest is not received/charged in respect of the amount. Quoted investments Fair value is determined by reference to the securities exchange quoted market prices at close of business on 30 June, without any deduction for transaction costs. Interest bearing loans and borrowings Fair value is calculated based on discounted expected future principal and interest cash flows. Derivatives Bank mark-to-market valuations have been used to determine the fair value of interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts. These have been back tested against valuations generated by the Group’s treasury system pricing module, using market quoted data as at 30 June. The system uses discounted cash flow techniques to value financial instruments. Interest rates used for determining fair value The Group uses a bank quoted interest rate swap curve as at 30 June plus assessed risk factors/credit spread to discount financial instruments. 87 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 29 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) Financial instruments fair value determination method grading The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows: • • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). • 2012 Available-for-sale financial assets Derivative financial liabilities 2011 Available-for-sale financial assets Derivative financial liabilities Level 1 $’000 10,032 – 10,032 10,762 – 10,762 Level 2 $’000 Level 3 $’000 – (18) (18) – (231) (231) – – – – – – Total $’000 10,032 (18) 10,014 10,762 (231) 10,531 Capital management The Group manages its capital with the objective of maintaining a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to have the capacity to take advantage of opportunities that will enhance the existing businesses and enable future growth and expansion. The Board monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as operating profit after income tax divided by shareholders’ equity and long term debt. The Board also monitors the Group’s gearing ratio, being net debt divided by shareholders’ equity. It is recognised that the Group operates in business segments in which operating results may be subject to volatility and the Board continuously reviews the capital structure to ensure sufficient: • surplus funding capacity is available; • funds are available for capital expenditure and to implement longer term business development strategies; and • funds are available to maintain appropriate dividend levels. There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year. No Group entity is subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Employees receiving awards under the Executive Performance Share Plan are those of a senior level and above (including the Managing Director). An employee awarded performance shares is not legally entitled to shares in the Company before the performance shares allocated under the plan vest. However, the employee can vote and receive dividends in respect of shares allocated to them. Once the shares have vested which is dependent on the Group achieving its earnings per share (“EPS”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) targets, they remain in the trust (refer Note 1(s)(i)) until the earliest of the employee leaving the Group, the tenth anniversary of the date the performance shares were awarded or the Board approving an application for their release. Award, vesting and exercise under the plan are made for no consideration. The performance period is three years. Set out below are summaries of performance shares awarded under the plan: Balance at the start of the year Number Grant date Granted Number Exercised Number Forfeited shares reallocated Number Balance at the end of the year (a) Number Type of right 2012 Performance shares 29 February 2012 Performance shares (b) 23 February 2012 Performance shares 16 May 2011 Performance shares (c) 23 February 2011 Performance shares (d) 28 June 2010 Performance shares (e) 23 February 2009 Performance shares (f) 18 February 2008 Performance shares (g) 19 February 2007 2011 Performance shares 16 May 2011 Performance shares (c) 23 February 2011 Performance shares (d) 28 June 2010 Performance shares (e) 23 February 2009 Performance shares (f) 18 February 2008 Performance shares (g) 19 February 2007 – – 10,000 759,577 50,000 603,447 570,193 525,051 298,515 109,572 – – – – – – – – – – – (95,630) (35,108) (24,112) 2,156,778 769,577 (154,850) – – 50,000 603,447 570,193 525,051 357,351 289,185 – – – – – – – – (58,836) (129,613) 1,741,780 653,447 (188,449) – – – – – – – (10,000) (10,000) – – – – – (50,000) (50,000) 10,000 759,577 50,000 603,447 570,193 429,421 263,407 75,460 2,761,505 50,000 603,447 570,193 525,051 298,515 109,572 2,156,778 (a) The balance at the end of the year includes a total of 380,959 shares (2011: 294,234 shares) that have been forfeited by employees due to cessation of employment.

During the year to 30 June 2012, 769,577 performance shares were granted to employees under the plan and 382,077 shares, relating to the 2009 plan issue, vested with employees. Of the shares that have vested from the 2007, 2008 and 2009 plan issues, 154,850 shares were exercised and withdrawn from the trust during the year. Other than as disclosed above, none of the performance shares awarded under the plan vested or became exercisable during the year. 89 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 30 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued) Fair value of performance shares granted The assessed fair value at grant date of performance shares granted under the Executive Performance Share Plan during the year ended 30 June 2012 was $5.89 (2011 issue: $5.98) for those shares that have EPS hurdles and $4.21 (2011 issue: $3.94) for those shares that have TSR hurdles. The fair value of each performance share is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo model with the following weighted average assumptions used for each grant: Dividend yield (per annum) Expected volatility Risk-free rate (per annum) Share price (30 day volume weighted average price) Expected life of incentive Granted 23 Feb 2012 Granted 23 Feb 2011 Granted 28 Jun 2010 6.9% 25% 3.65% $5.89 3 years 6.2% 25% 5.2% $5.98 6.6% 33% 4.5% $5.78 3 years 3 years The expected life of the performance shares is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. Tax Exempt Share Plan All Australian resident permanent employees (excluding directors) are eligible to participate in the Tax Exempt Share Plan. The Tax Exempt Share Plan enables participating employees to make salary sacrifice contributions to purchase shares on-market on a monthly basis. The shares in the Tax Exempt Share Plan are restricted from being traded and must be held for a minimum of three years whilst the participant remains an employee of the Group. Trading restrictions are lifted on the cessation of employment. Offers under the Tax Exempt Share Plan are at the discretion of the Company. All shares acquired under the Tax Exempt Share Plan rank equally with all other ordinary shares. The total number of shares purchased during the year by employees, under the Tax Exempt Share Plan, totalled 16,221 shares (2011: 15,378 shares). Employee Share Plan At 30 June 2012, the total shares issued under the plan was 168,920 (2011: 171,720). There were no shares issued during the year. The plan is closed to new members and no offers have been made under the plan since 1998. The market value of ordinary shares at 30 June 2012 was $6.45 (2011: $5.80). Note 26 provides details of the movement in the ordinary share capital during the year.

The leases typically run for periods up to 20 years, with varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal or extension options. The head lease in respect of the Thredbo Village and ski area is for a longer period, being 50 years from 29 June 2007. A small number of leases have commitments in respect of contingent rental payments which arise when the operating performance of a site exceeds a pre-determined amount. Also, there are rentals which are determined as the higher of a base rental and a fixed percentage of a defined amount reflecting the operating performance of a site or a base rental plus a fixed percentage of the net profit from the site. Contingent rental payments recognised as an expense in the period for the Group amounted to $2,756,000 (2011: $3,307,000).

With exception to sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease, leases are for periods ranging between one to 15 years and have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal options. There are approximately 700 sub-leases under the Thredbo head lease. Thredbo sub-leases consist of long term accommodation sub-leases for holiday apartments, chalets and lodges and also retail sub-leases for shops. Long term accommodation sub-leases are typically for periods mirroring the head lease, which was renewed for a further 50 year period on 29 June 2007. Finance lease commitments – as lessor or lesee The Group does not have finance lease or hire purchase arrangements in place where it acts as a lessor or a lesee. 91 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 32 – CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Details of contingent liabilities and contingent assets which, although considered remote, the directors consider should be disclosed, are as follows: Contingent liabilities Jointly controlled entities Certain subsidiaries have obligations in respect of the lease commitments for jointly controlled entities.

It is estimated that the Group’s maximum liability under this claim is $618,000 (2011: $668,000), plus interest and legal costs. No provision has been established against this amount as it is currently not considered that the success of this claim is probable. Claims for personal injury The nature of the Group’s operations results in claims for personal injury being received from time to time. The directors believe that the outcome of any current claims outstanding, which are not provided against in the financial statements, will not have a significant impact on the operating result of the Group in future reporting periods. The directors are of the opinion that provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement at balance date. 92 Amalgamated Holdings Limited – Annual Report 2012 N O T E S T O T H E F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S F O R T H E Y E A R E N D E D 3 0 J U N E 2 0 1 2 NOTE 33 – DEED OF CROSS GUARANTEE Pursuant to ASIC Class Order 98/1418 (as amended) dated 13 August 1998, the wholly owned subsidiaries listed below are relieved from the Corporations Act 2001 requirements for preparation, audit and lodgement of financial reports, and directors’ reports. It is a condition of the Class Order that the Company and each of the subsidiaries enter into a Deed of Cross Guarantee. The effect of the deed is that the Company guarantees to each creditor, payment in full of any debt in the event of winding up of any of the subsidiaries under certain provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.

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. These Auditing 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 entity’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 entity’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. We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s financial position and of its performance. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. Auditor’s opinion In our opinion: (a) the financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
