Source: Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia Source: Datamonitor FSA Group has 51% market share for debt agreements. FSA Group is one of the few remaining non-conforming lenders. The services market consists of individuals who rely upon a debt agreement or a personal insolvency agreement or bankruptcy to address their unmanageable debt. Debt agreements are an alternative to bankruptcy. In July 2007 the Bankruptcy Act 1966 was amended, changing the way fees could be charged and collected for debt agreements. The result has been to further increase the barriers to entry into the market as administrators require a substantial capital base to operate. The non-conforming home loan market consists of lenders who provide loan products to an individual who is unlikely to “conform” to the lending criteria of the banks. Prior to the Global Financial Crisis, the market was characterised by a high number of competitors. Today the market is signiﬁ cantly altered. Fewer competitors exist with increased levels of capital now required to operate a home loan lending business. The result has been to further increase the barriers to entry into the market. 3 Growing by expanding our lending services… Lending Services Home Loan Lending s n o i l l i M $ 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 Loan Pool Size August 08: Westpac $210m facility renewed June 09: Westpac $210m facility renewed June 07: Westpac $210m facility secured May 10: Westpac facility renewed and increased to $235m Loan pool of over $200 million 0 Jun 07 Aug 07 Oct 07 Dec 07 Feb 08 Apr 08 Jun 08 Aug 08 Oct 08 Dec 08 Feb 09 Apr 09 Jun 09 Aug 09 Oct 09 Dec 09 Feb 10 Apr 10 Jun 10 At the start of the 2008 ﬁ nancial year, FSA Group commenced its non-conforming home loan lending division with Westpac Banking Corporation committing non-recourse funding of $210 million.

FSA Group has ﬁ rmly established a track record in home loan lending. It has originated a high quality loan pool of over $200 million which is outperforming those of its competitors.

It has originated a high quality loan pool of over $10 million. FSA Group is experiencing high quality demand for factoring ﬁ nance because the availability of credit for small businesses continues to remain tight.

DEBT SOLUTIONS REHABILITATION PERIOD BUILDING WEALTH Our vision is to expand our range of debt solutions, extending our services and introducing new products to meet the demand of our growing pool of clients. 7 Chairman’s Letter Dear Shareholders, Unusual macro economic conditions during the year impacted our business. Despite this we have successfully navigated this period of historically low interest rates, followed by rising interest rates combined with the effect of the Government stimulus package, which temporarily slowed demand for our products and services. FSA Group generated $50.78 million in revenue, achieved a proﬁ t after tax attributable to members of $7.52 million for the 2010 ﬁ nancial year and is in a strong ﬁ nancial position. FSA Group has retained its position as the largest provider of debt solutions to individuals. Our market share for debt agreements is 51%. We manage over $240 million of unsecured debt under debt agreements and during the year paid $55.6 million in dividends to creditors. We are one of the largest registered trustees and the largest broker of non-conforming home loans in the country. FSA Group has ﬁ rmly established a track record in non-conforming home loan lending. We have originated a high quality loan pool of over $200 million which is outperforming those of our competitors. This was achieved through a disciplined approach to origination and exceptional arrears management. During the year our facility was increased to $235 million and renewed for a further term by Westpac Banking Corporation. In addition, we successfully raised $5 million in capital to support the future growth of this division. FSA Group is aiming to grow its loan pool to $600 million by 2013. FSA Group also provides a range of debt solutions to small businesses including the provision of factoring ﬁ nance. FSA Group has originated a high quality loan pool of over $10 million. During the year our facility was increased to $25 million and renewed for a further term by Westpac Banking Corporation. FSA Group is aiming to grow its loan pool to around $20 million to $25 million by 2011. The Directors have committed to continuing the current policy of reinvesting earnings into high growth divisions particularly home loan lending and factoring ﬁ nance. Through home loan lending and factoring ﬁ nance FSA Group is better positioned to assist more clients, capture greater margin and most importantly secure annuity income. The Directors therefore have not recommended a dividend for the 2010 ﬁ nancial year. High levels of consumer debt together with a higher interest rate environment should continue to drive demand for our products and services which we expect will increase considerably in 2011 and 2012. Demand for our home loan lending and factoring ﬁ nance remains strong. We will continue to source additional funding capacity to support the growth of high quality loan pools and to achieve our long term targets. I am conﬁ dent of continued substantial growth for FSA Group in the years ahead. I would like to thank my fellow directors, all our executives and staff for their contribution to the successes of the current year. Yours sincerely, Sam Doumany Chairman 8 FSA Group Ltd Executive Director’s Review Dear Shareholders, The 2010 ﬁ nancial year has been very successful for FSA Group considering the unusual macro economic conditions which impacted our business. In the ﬁ rst half of the year we experienced an historically low interest rate environment combined with the effect of the Government stimulus package which temporarily slowed demand for our products and services. In the second half we experienced a rising interest rate environment, in which the RBA increased the cash rate by 150bps which had a short term impact on the proﬁ tability of our home loan lending division. There has been no better environment to test our business model than the 2010 ﬁ nancial year. During the year demand for our debt solutions underpinned revenues of $50.78 million (2009: $50.07 million) and helped to deliver a proﬁ t after tax attributable to members of $7.52 million (2009: $8.84 million). Financial Overview Revenue and Income Proﬁ t Before Tax Proﬁ t After Tax (Attributable to Members) Net Assets NTA backing/share EPS basic FY2009 $50.07m $13.93m $8.84m $32.07m 24.2¢ 7.66¢ FY2010 % Change $50.78m $12.87m $7.52m $44.75m 29.9 ¢ 5.82¢ ▲ 1% ▼ 8% ▼ 15% ▲ 40% ▲ 24% ▼ 24 % Our business operates across the following key segments, Services, Home Loan Broking and Home Loan Lending. FSA Group also provides a range of debt solutions to small businesses including the provision of Factoring Finance. I will now provide more detail around the operational performance of each division. Now, I’m no longer avoiding phone calls Now, I’m on top of my repayments 9 Executive Director’s Review Operational Performance Services The Services division offers a range of simple and convenient solutions to assist clients wishing to enter into a payment arrangement with their creditors. These include informal arrangements, debt agreements, personal insolvency agreements, bankruptcy assistance and other solutions. FSA Group is the largest provider of debt agreements and one of the largest registered trustees for personal insolvency agreements and bankruptcies in Australia. During 2009 the Services division assisted a record number of clients. There was a 37% increase in debt agreement client numbers and a 22% increase in personal insolvency agreement and bankruptcy clients numbers when compared to 2008. In the ﬁ rst half of 2010, our Services division was affected by an historically low interest rate environment together with the effect of the Government stimulus package. This temporarily slowed demand for our services, as shown in the table below, and resulted in lower than expected client numbers for the sector as a whole. Notwithstanding, FSA Group was able to maintain its market share for debt agreements of 51% and remains the clear market leader. FY2009 Up 37% Up 22% FY2010 Down 6% Up 2% Client Numbers Debt Agreements Personal Insolvency Agreements and Bankruptcies FSA Group has 51% market share for debt agreements. Now, my debts are under control 10 FSA Group Ltd FSA Group manages over $240 million of unsecured debt under debt agreements. The strength of FSA Group’s arrears and risk management capabilities is evidenced by the dividends paid to creditors. During 2010 FSA Group paid $55.6 million in dividends to creditors which was an increase of 33% compared with the $41.7 million paid in 2009. In July 2007 the Bankruptcy Act 1966 was amended, changing the way fees could be charged and collected. The result has been to further increase the barriers to entry into the market as debt agreement administrators require a substantial capital base to operate. FSA Group’s competitors in this market include 35 administrators which combined, make up market share balance of around 49%. Dividend Distributions to Creditors CAGR = 33% s n o i l l i M $ 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Now, I can afford my repayments WHAT IS A DEBT AGREEMENT? A debt agreement, which was introduced into the Bankruptcy Act in 1996, is a simple way for an indebted individual to come to a payment arrangement with their creditors and yield superior returns to creditors when compared with bankruptcy. FSA Group manages over $240 million of unsecured debt under debt agreements. 11 Executive Director’s Review continued Home Loan Broking and Home Loan Lending The Home Loan Broking and Home Loan Lending divisions offer a range of simple and convenient solutions to assist clients with property wishing to consolidate their debt. FSA Group offers solutions both as a broker and a lender of non-conforming home loans. The non-conforming home loan market consists of lenders who provide loan products to an individual who is unlikely to “conform” to the lending criteria of the banks. FSA Group is the largest broker of non-conforming home loans in the country. During 2009, the high interest rate environment and tighter credit conditions impacted client numbers. There was an 18% fall in the number of home loan approvals when compared to 2008. During 2010, the lower interest rate environment, the improvement in availability of credit and the property market resulted in the number of home loan approvals increasing by 41% when compared to 2009. During the period, approximately 59% of FSA Group’s home loan approvals were brokered to third party lenders with the balance assisted by FSA Group’s Home Loan Lending division. FSA Group has ﬁ rmly established a track record in non-conforming home loan lending. We have originated a high quality loan pool of over $200 million which is outperforming those of our competitors. In the ﬁ rst half of 2010 the loan pool grew by $15 million and as demand recovered in the second half the loan pool increased by a further $35 million. During the year our facility was increased to $235 million and renewed for a further term by Westpac Banking Corporation.

There are no further developments that the Directors are aware of which could be expected to affect the results of the Consolidated Entity’s operations in subsequent ﬁ nancial years other than the information contained in the Executive Director’s review and besides any other information which the Directors believe comment on or disclosure of would prejudice the interests of the Consolidated Entity.

The contract of insurance prohibits the disclosure of the nature of the liabilities covered and amount of the premium paid. The Corporations Act 2001 does not require disclosure of the information in these circumstances. Remuneration Report (Audited) This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and Executives of FSA Group Ltd (the Company). Remuneration policy The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors, Executives and Senior Management. To prosper, the Company must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors, Executives and Senior Management. The Board does not presently have a Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Directors consider that the Company is not of a size, nor are its affairs of such complexity, as to justify the formation of a separate committee. All matters which might be dealt with by such a committee are reviewed by the Directors in meeting as a board. The Board, in carrying out the functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, are responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors, Executives and Senior Management. The Board, in carrying out the functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such ofﬁ cers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum shareholder beneﬁ t from the retention of a high quality board and Executive team. Such ofﬁ cers are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a variety of forms including cash and fringe beneﬁ ts. It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the Company. The Company aims to reward the Directors, Executives and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company. The Board’s policy is to align Director, Executive and Senior Management objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a ﬁ xed remuneration component and offering short and long-term incentives. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non-Executive Director, Executive Director, Executives and Senior Management remuneration is separate and distinct. Directors’ Report continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Non-Executive Director Remuneration The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Company with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders. The Constitution of the Company and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled to remuneration as determined by the Company in General Meeting. The total aggregate annual remuneration payable to Non-Executive Directors of the Company is currently determined to be a maximum aggregate of $250,000 excluding the value of share options expensed as calculated by the Black-Scholes method (to be divided between Non-Executive Directors as the Board determines). Additionally, Non-Executive Directors will be entitled to be reimbursed for properly incurred expenses. If a Non-Executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of the Director, the Company may remunerate that Director by payment of a ﬁ xed sum determined by the Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. A Non-Executive Director is entitled to be paid travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Directors’ or General Meetings of the Company or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company. The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ending 30 June 2010 is detailed in Table 1 of this Remuneration Report. Executive Directors and Senior Management Remuneration The Company aims to reward the Executive Directors and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company and so as to: (cid:129) reward Executives for company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks; (cid:129) align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders; (cid:129) link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and (cid:129) ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards. The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Senior Management may from time to time be ﬁ xed by the Board. The remuneration will comprise a ﬁ xed remuneration component and also may include offering speciﬁ c short and long-term incentives, in the form of: 1. performance based salary increases and/or bonuses; and/or 2. share-based payments. Performance based salary increases and bonuses are assessed on a discretionary basis by the Board. No formal performance conditions or earnings milestones have been set for the granting of salary increases and bonuses. This allows the Board to retain ﬂ exibility around granting of salary increases and bonuses if the Company is affected by adverse economic conditions, and the payment of these salary increases and bonuses is not in the best interests of shareholders. A review of bonuses paid to the Executive Directors over the previous 5 years is consistent with the operational performance of the Group in those periods. All executives and employees have the opportunity to qualify for participation in the FSA Group Ltd Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”). The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Senior Management for the year ended 30 June 2010 is detailed in Table 1 of this Remuneration Report. An employee share incentive scheme has been established where executives and certain members of staff of FSA Group Ltd are issued with options over the ordinary shares of FSA Group Ltd. The options, issued for nil consideration, are issued in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Directors of FSA Group Ltd. The options cannot be transferred and will not be quoted on the ASX. The total number of shares in respect of which options may be granted under the scheme to employees and which have not been exercised or lapsed shall not at any time exceed ﬁ ve percent (5%) of the Company’s total issued share capital. There are no such restrictions as to the number of shares in respect of which options may be granted under the scheme to executives. The exercise price of an option and the exercise period is determined by the Board in accordance with Listing Rules. No formal policy has been adopted regarding employees and directors hedging exposure to holdings of the Company’s securities. No employees or directors have hedged their exposures. 21 Directors’ Report continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Employment contracts It is the Board’s policy that employment agreements are entered into with all Executive Directors, Executives and employees.

(cid:3) 29 Corporate Governance Statement The Board of Directors of FSA Group Ltd is responsible for the corporate governance of the Consolidated Entity. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of FSA Group Ltd on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. Principle 3 Promote ethical and responsible decision making Principle 4 Safeguard integrity in ﬁ nancial reporting Principle 5 Make timely and balanced disclosure FSA Group Ltd’s Corporate Governance Statement is now structured with reference to the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Council’s (the “Council”) Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, 2nd Edition, which are as follows: Principle 1 Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Principle 2 Structure the board to add value Principle 6 Respect the rights of shareholders Principle 7 Recognise and manage risk Principle 8 Remunerate fairly and responsibly A copy of the eight Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations can be found on the ASX’s website at www.asx.com.au. The Board is of the view that with the exception of the departures from the ASX Guidelines as set out below, it otherwise complies with all of the ASX Guidelines. ASX Principles and Recommendations Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight Recommendation 1.3 – The Board should evaluate the performance of Directors and Senior Executives in accordance with its documented process Summary of the Company’s Position No formal performance evaluation of the Directors or Senior Management was undertaken by the Board during the year ended 30 June 2010, though this was considered informally by the Board at its regular meetings. Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value Recommendation 2.4 – The Board should establish a nomination committee Principle 7 – Recognise and manage risk Recommendation 7.2 – The Board should require management to design and implement a risk management and internal control system to manage the Company’s material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The Board should disclose that Management has reported to it the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material risks Principle 8 – Remunerate fairly and responsibly Recommendation 8.1 – The Board should establish a remuneration committee FSA Group Ltd does not have a separately established nomination committee. The Board currently performs the functions of a nomination committee and where necessary will seek advice of external advisors in relation to this role. The Board does not believe that any marked efﬁ ciencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of a separate nomination committee. While the design and implementation of a basic risk management and internal control system is in place, a formal report as to the effectiveness of the management of the Company’s material business risks has not been provided to the Board. The Company is currently reviewing and updating its risk management systems and procedures and adherence to providing formal reports is under review. Nonetheless, the Board is otherwise satisﬁ ed that adequate operational risk management procedures and reporting exists at the business unit level and certain compliance reports are reviewed by the Board monthly in lieu of a formal board report. FSA Group Ltd does not have a separately established remuneration committee. The Board currently performs the functions of a remuneration committee. For further details regarding remuneration please refer to the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report. 30 FSA Group Ltd Corporate Governance Statement continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Role of the Board The role of the Board is to exercise its management responsibilities in the wider interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Board charter and functions reserved for the Board (and senior executives) have been established and can be viewed in the Company’s corporate governance practices and policies, publicly available on the Company’s web site, www.fsagroup.com.au Structure of the Board The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of Director held by each Director in ofﬁ ce at the date of the Annual Report is included in the Director’s Report. Corporate Governance Council Recommendation 2.1 requires a majority of the Board to be independent directors. The Corporate Governance Council deﬁ nes independence as being free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with – or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with – the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. In the context of Director independence, “materiality” is considered from both the Company and the individual Director perspective. The determination of materiality requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 10% of the appropriate base amount. It is presumed to be material (unless there is qualitative evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered included whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the Director in question to shape the direction of the Company’s loyalty. In accordance with the Council’s deﬁ nition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors are not considered to be independent: Name Position Mr Tim Odillo Maher Executive Director Ms Deborah Southon Executive Director Reason for non-compliance Mr Odillo Maher is employed by the Company in an executive capacity and is a substantial shareholder. Ms Southon is employed by the Company in an executive capacity and is a substantial shareholder. The majority of FSA Group Ltd’s Board is independent. FSA Group Ltd considers industry experience and speciﬁ c expertise, as well as general corporate experience, to be important attributes of its Board members. The members of the Board have been brought together to provide a blend of qualiﬁ cations, considerable industry skills and national and international experience required for managing a company operating within the ﬁ nancial services and debt management industry. There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable the Directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. The term in ofﬁ ce held by each Director in ofﬁ ce at the date of this report is as follows: Name Sam Doumany Tim Odillo Maher Deborah Southon Hugh Parsons Stan Kalinko Term in ofﬁ ce 7 years 8 months 8 years 1 month 8 years 1 month 4 years 1 month 3 years 4 months In accordance with the Council’s deﬁ nition of independence above, and the materiality thresholds set, the following Directors are considered to be independent: Nomination and Remuneration Committees Name Mr Sam Doumany Mr Hugh Parsons Mr Stan Kalinko Position Non-Executive Chairman Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director Recommendations 2.4 and 8.1 require listed entities to establish nomination and remuneration committees. During the year ended 30 June 2010, FSA Group Ltd did not have separately established nomination or remuneration committees. The full Board shall for the time being carry out the functions of remuneration & nomination committees performing this function at its regular meetings. The Board does not believe that any marked efﬁ ciencies or enhancements would be achieved by the creation of separate remuneration or nomination committees. 31 Corporate Governance Statement continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Audit and Risk Management Committee The Board has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board’s responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efﬁ ciency of signiﬁ cant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records, and the reliability of ﬁ nancial information as well as non-ﬁ nancial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The Board has delegated the responsibility for the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards for the management of the Consolidated Entity to the Audit and Risk Management Committee. The Audit and Risk Management Committee also provides the Board with additional assurance regarding the reliability of ﬁ nancial information for inclusion in the ﬁ nancial statements. All members of the Audit and Risk Management Committee are Non-Executive Directors.

This also contains the Committee’s procedures for the selection and appointment of external auditors and the rotation of external audit engagement partners. Recommendation 7.2 requires that the Board disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the Company’s management of its material business risks. Business risks are considered regularly by the Board and Management. 32 FSA Group Ltd As required by Recommendation 7.3, the Board has received written assurances from the Executive Directors and Chief Financial Ofﬁ cer that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the declaration provided by them in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that their system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to ﬁ nancial reporting risks. Performance evaluation The full Board, in carrying out the functions of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, considers remuneration and nomination issues annually and otherwise as required in conjunction with the regular meetings of the Board. The performance of the individual members of the Board, the Audit and Risk Management Committee and Senior Executives is considered at the regular meetings of the Board. No formal performance evaluation of the Directors or Senior Management was undertaken by the Board during the year ended 30 June 2010. Remuneration It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder beneﬁ t from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team by remunerating Directors and Key Executives fairly and appropriately with reference to relevant employment market conditions.

In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Board, having regard to the overall performance of FSA Group Ltd and the performance of the individual during the year. The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors themselves and the executive team. As noted above, no separate remuneration committee has been created.

37 Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies The ﬁ nancial statements include the ﬁ nancial statements of FSA Group Ltd (“the Parent Entity” or “the Company”) and the Consolidated Entity (or “the Group”) consisting of FSA Group Ltd and its controlled entities. FSA Group Ltd is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The ﬁ nancial statements are general purpose ﬁ nancial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated ﬁ nancial statements of the Group and the ﬁ nancial statements of the Company comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the ﬁ nancial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. Basis of preparation The ﬁ nancial statements are presented in Australian dollars. Reporting basis and conventions The ﬁ nancial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modiﬁ ed by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and ﬁ nancial assets and ﬁ nancial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The Consolidated Entity has applied ASIC class order 10/654 dated 26 July 2010 which allows companies presenting consolidated ﬁ nancial statements to also present the parent entity ﬁ nancial statements. Accounting Policies (a) Principles of Consolidation A controlled entity is any entity FSA Group Ltd has the power to control the ﬁ nancial and operating policies so as to obtain beneﬁ ts from its activities. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 12 to the ﬁ nancial statements. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Group, including any unrealised proﬁ ts or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies applied by the Parent Entity. Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. 38 FSA Group Ltd Non-Controlling interests in equity and results of the entities controlled are shown as separate items in the consolidated ﬁ nancial statements. (b) Income Tax The charge for current income tax expense is based on the proﬁ t for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the “balance sheet” liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the ﬁ nancial statements. No deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable proﬁ t or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax proﬁ ts will be available against which deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. The amount of beneﬁ ts brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufﬁ cient future assessable income to enable the beneﬁ t to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Tax consolidation FSA Group Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. Additionally, 180 Group Pty Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries and Fox Symes Home Loans Pty Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have also formed income tax consolidated groups under the Tax Consolidation Regime. FSA Group Ltd, 180 Group Pty Ltd and Fox Symes Home Loans Pty Ltd as head entities of their respective tax consolidated groups and the controlled entities in each group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right. Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies continued In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity of each tax consolidated group also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. The respective tax consolidated groups have entered into tax sharing agreements whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable of the consolidated group. (c) Financial Instruments Non-derivative ﬁ nancial instruments Non-derivative ﬁ nancial instruments comprise investments in equity and debt securities, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings and trade and other payables. Non-derivative ﬁ nancial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through proﬁ t and loss, any directly attributable transaction costs, except as described below. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative ﬁ nancial instruments are measured as described below. A ﬁ nancial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised if the Group’s contractual rights to cashﬂ ows from the ﬁ nancial assets expire or the Group transfers the ﬁ nancial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of ﬁ nancial assets are accounted for at trade date i.e. the date the Group commits itself to purchase or sell an asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised if the Group’s obligations speciﬁ ed in the contract expire, are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. 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 purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows. Ordinary Share Capital Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity net of any related income tax beneﬁ t. Held-to-maturity investments If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then they are classiﬁ ed as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Available-for-sale ﬁ nancial assets The Group’s investments in equity securities and certain debt securities are classiﬁ ed as available-for-sale ﬁ nancial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on available-for-sale monetary items are recognised as a separate component of equity. When an investment is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to proﬁ t or loss. Investments at fair value through proﬁ t or loss An instrument is classiﬁ ed as at fair value through proﬁ t or loss if it is held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial instruments are designated at fair value through proﬁ t or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition, attributable transaction costs are recognised in proﬁ t or loss when incurred. Financial instruments at fair value through proﬁ t or loss are measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognised in proﬁ t or loss. Loans and Receivables Loans and receivables are held at amortised cost. Loan assets held at amortised cost are non derivative ﬁ nancial instruments with ﬁ xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when a mortgage loan is originated in the Group’s Statement of Financial Position. These are accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic beneﬁ ts associated with the item will ﬂ ow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the ﬁ nancial year in which they are incurred. 39 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies continued (d) Property, Plant and Equipment continued Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their useful lives to the Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The useful lives used for each class of asset are: Class of Asset Plant and equipment Computers and Ofﬁ ce Equipment Leasehold improvements Furniture and Fitting Motor Vehicles Useful life 2 to 5 years 2 to 5 years 5 years 2 to 5 years 5 years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the assets carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. (e) Investment properties Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both. Investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. The carrying amount of an asset in this class is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Investment properties have a useful life of 40 years. (f) Leases Leases of property plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and beneﬁ ts incidental to the ownership of the asset are classiﬁ ed as ﬁ nance leases. Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the year. Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. 40 FSA Group Ltd Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and beneﬁ ts remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. (g) Impairment of assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. (h) Employee beneﬁ ts Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee beneﬁ ts arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date. Employee beneﬁ ts that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee beneﬁ ts payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outﬂ ows to be made for those beneﬁ ts. Equity settled compensation Share based compensation beneﬁ ts are provided to employees via the FSA Group Ltd Employee Share Option Plan (“ESOP”). Information relating to the ESOP is set out in the Remuneration Report, contained within the Directors’ report. The fair value of options granted under the ESOP is recognised as an employee beneﬁ t expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reﬂ ect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, proﬁ tability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies continued Trustee Fees Bankruptcy and Personal Insolvency Agreements are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee beneﬁ t expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share- based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital and the proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital. Under the employee share scheme, shares issued to employees for no cash consideration vest immediately on grant date. On this date, the market value of the shares issued is recognised as an employee beneﬁ ts expense with a corresponding increase in equity. Bonuses and proﬁ t sharing arrangements A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or proﬁ t-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. (i) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outﬂ ow of economic beneﬁ ts will result and that outﬂ ow can be reliably measured. (j) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic beneﬁ ts will ﬂ ow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following speciﬁ c recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Rendering of Services – Personal Insolvency When the outcome of a contract to provide services under the Bankruptcy Act can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised by reference to the right to be compensated for services and where the stage of completion of the service can be reliably estimated, speciﬁ cally: Debt Agreement Application Fees Upon the completion of preparing the Debt Agreement proposal for consideration by the creditors and the Insolvency and Trustee Service of Australia (ITSA). Debt Agreement Fees At the date of approval of the Debt Agreement proposal by a majority of the vote value of creditors. Trustee Fees are recognised as work in progress and time billed. Fee income is only recognised to the extent fees have been approved by creditors. Rendering of Services – Recruitment Fees Recruitment Fees are recognised upon commencement of employment under the agreed contact terms for that placement. Under the contract terms the outcome of the transaction cannot be measured reliably until such time as the candidate has commenced employment. Reﬁ nance Fees When the outcome of a contract to provide services can be estimated reliably, either upon receipt of upfront fee and subsequent turbo or trail commission, in the case of non- conforming lending, or in the case of conforming lending, trail commission revenue and receivables are recognised at fair-value being the future trail commission receivable discounted to their net present value. Interest Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is the method of calculating the amortised cost of a ﬁ nancial asset or ﬁ nancial liability and allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the ﬁ nancial instrument to the net carrying amount of the ﬁ nancial asset or ﬁ nancial liability (which includes, where applicable, the unamortised balance of transaction costs). Finance fee income Finance fee income is recognised in either of two ways, either upfront where the fee represents a recovery of costs or a charge for services provided to customers (e.g. application fees and risk assessment fees) or, where income relates to loan origination, income is deferred and amortised over the effective life of the loan using the effective interest method. Deferred establishment fees are establishment fees which the borrower is contracted to pay but payment is deferred until such time as they repay the outstanding loan balance. These fees are waived if the loan is repaid after the qualifying period. These fees are recognised at the commencement of the contract and are amortised over the current average life of the loan. (k) Goods & Services Tax (GST) Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Ofﬁ ce. 41 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies continued (k) Goods & Services Tax (GST) continued In these circumstances GST is recognised as part of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of a subsidiary include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiary sold. Software is measured on the cost basis less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Software is amortised over its useful life of 2 years. (o) Trade and other payables Cash ﬂ ows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of ﬁ nancing and investing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash ﬂ ows. Trade payables and other amounts are carried at amortised cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Group. (l) Comparative ﬁ gures Where required by Australian Accounting Standards, comparative ﬁ gures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current ﬁ nancial year. In the prior year, trade payables included amounts payable on invoices legally assigned but not approved for factoring ﬁ nance. The balance is now shown on a net basis to reﬂ ect the substance of what is ultimately owed to the client on their undrawn facility limit. This affects the trade and other receivables in Note 8 and factoring client payables in Note 16. The comparatives have been restated to reﬂ ect this treatment resulting in both the gross trade receivable and gross factoring client payables in the prior year being offset by $2.37m. This restatement has had no effect on the working capital ratio, net assets of the group, proﬁ t before tax and total comprehensive income in the prior or current year. (m) Investments in Subsidiaries Investments are brought to account on the cost basis in the Parent Entity’s ﬁ nancial statements and using the acquisition method, after initially being recognised at costs in the Consolidated Entity’s ﬁ nancial statements. The carrying amount of investments is reviewed annually by Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the shares’ current market value or the underlying net assets in the particular entities. The expected net cash ﬂ ow from investments has not been discounted to their present value in determining the recoverable amounts, except where stated. (n) Intangibles Goodwill on consolidation is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business or for an ownership interest in a controlled entity exceeds the fair value attributed to its net assets at date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less 42 FSA Group Ltd Monies received (and not yet distributed pursuant to the Debt Agreements) on behalf of institutional creditors are recorded as current liabilities. (p) Provision for Institutional Creditor Payments Dividends payable to Institutional Creditors are provided for in the ﬁ nancial statements in accordance with the respective Debt Agreement Proposals accepted by the ofﬁ cial receiver for processing prior to 1 July 2007 and are classiﬁ ed as current provisions unless all of the Debt Agreement fee has been received, in which case they are classiﬁ ed as a current payable. (q) Signiﬁ cant accounting estimates and assumptions The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and assumptions about future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a signiﬁ cant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities in the next annual reporting period are: Impairment of goodwill The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated (refer to Note 15 in the ﬁ nancial statements). Impairment of receivables Debt agreement receivables Impairment of debt agreement receivables is assessed on a collective basis based on historical collections data. Considering the length of time it takes to collect debts in administration and the inherent uncertainty over the collection of these amounts this method represents management’s “best estimate” of the recoverability of debtors in the debt agreement business. Impairment is provided for and recorded in a separate Allowance account. Amounts are written off against this account as bad when debt agreements are terminated by creditors. The evaluation process is subject to a series of estimates and judgments. The frequency of default, loss history, and current economic conditions are considered. Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies continued Changes in these estimates could have a direct impact on the level of provision determined (refer to Note 8 in the ﬁ nancial statements). Other loans and advances For other loans and advances individually assessed provisions are raised where there is objective evidence of impairment and full recovery of the principal is considered doubtful. Provisions are established after considering the estimates of the fair value of the collateral taken and recorded in a separate Allowance account. Amounts are written off against the account as bad after management establishes amounts which will not be recovered from available evidence. (r) Associates Associates are those entities in which the Group has signiﬁ cant inﬂ uence, but not control, over the ﬁ nancial and operating policies. Associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees). The consolidated ﬁ nancial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses of the equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from that date the signiﬁ cant inﬂ uence commences until the date where signiﬁ cant inﬂ uence ceases. When the Group’s share of the loss extends its interest in the equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long term investments) is reduced to nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. (s) Finance Income and Costs Finance Income is measured and recognised as per (j) Revenue recognition above. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of discount on provisions, dividends on preference shares classiﬁ ed as liabilities, foreign currency losses, changes in fair value of ﬁ nancial assets at fair value through proﬁ t or loss, impairment losses recognised on ﬁ nancial assets and losses on hedging instruments that are recognised in proﬁ t or loss. All ﬁ nance costs are recognised in proﬁ t or loss using the effective interest method. (t) Earnings per share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the proﬁ t or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting proﬁ t or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. (u) Operating segments An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity); whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and for which discrete ﬁ nancial information is available. Operating segments are distinguished and presented based on the differences in providing services and providing ﬁ nance products. (v) Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a ﬁ nancial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation, where appropriate. (w) New standards and interpretations issued not yet effective or adopted Certain new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2010 reporting period. The Consolidated Entity and the Parent Entity’s assessment of the impact of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations in the period of initial application is set out below. (i) AASB 2009-5 Further amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the annual improvements process [AASB 5, 8, 101, 107, 117, 118, 136 & 139] This affects the above mentioned standard resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, recognition and measurement purposes. The amendments, which become mandatory in the Company’s 30 June 2011 ﬁ nancial statements, are not expected to have a material impact to the ﬁ nancial statements. (ii) AASB 2010-3 Further amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the annual improvements process [AASB 3, AASB 7, AASB 121, AASB 128, AASB 131, AASB 132 & AASB 139] This affects the above mentioned standard resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, recognition and measurement purposes. The amendments, which become mandatory in the Company’s 30 June 2011 ﬁ nancial statements, are not expected to have a material impact to the ﬁ nancial statements. 43 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 1. Summary of signiﬁ cant accounting policies continued (w) New standards and interpretations issued not yet effective or adopted continued (iii) AASB 2010-4 Further amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the annual improvements process [AASB 1, AASB 7, AASB 101 & AASB 134 and Interpretation 13] This affects the above mentioned standard resulting in minor changes for presentation, disclosure, recognition and measurement purposes. The amendments, which become mandatory in the Company’s 30 June 2011 ﬁ nancial statements, are not expected to have a material impact to the ﬁ nancial statements. (iv) AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 includes requirements for the classiﬁ cation and measurement of ﬁ nancial assets resulting from Phase 1 of the project to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Retrospective application is generally required, although there are exceptions, particularly if the entity adopts the standard for the year ended 30 June 2012 or earlier. The Company has not yet determined the potential effect of the standard on its ﬁ nancial statements (v) AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures Revised in December 2009, the amendments simplify and clarify the intended meaning of the deﬁ nition of a “related party” and provide partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government related entities. These amendments which become mandatory for the 30 June 2012 ﬁ nancial year are not anticipated to have any impact on the Company’s ﬁ nancial statements. (x) New, revised or amending Standards and Interpretations The Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant in the current period. Any signiﬁ cant impact on the accounting policies of the Consolidated Entity on adoption of these accounting standards and interpretations is disclosed in the relevant accounting policy. The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the ﬁ nancial performance or position of the Consolidated Entity. The following standards and interpretations are most relevant to the Consolidated Entity: (i) AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements The Consolidated Entity has applied the revised AASB 101 from 1 July 2009 and now presents a statement of comprehensive income, which incorporates the income statement and all non-owner changes in equity. As a result the Consolidated Entity now presents all owner changes in the Statement of Changes in Equity. The Balance Sheet is now referred to as the Statement of Financial Position. There is a requirement to present a third Statement of Financial Position if there is a restatement of comparatives through either a correction of an error, change in accounting policy or a reclassiﬁ cation. The Cashﬂ ow Statement is now referred to as a Statement of Cash Flows. (ii) AASB 3 Business Combinations The Consolidated Entity has applied the revised AASB 3 for all new business combinations acquired on or after 1 July 2009. As well as the expensing of transaction costs and minority interest now being referred to as non-controlling interests, there are a number of signiﬁ cant changes which do not impact on the Consolidated Entity’s ﬁ nancial position in this or the prior year. (iii) AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements The Consolidated Entity has applied the revised AASB 127 from 1 July 2009. The revised standard requires changes in ownership interest of a subsidiary without a change in control to be accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners. It also changes the accounting for losses incurred by a partially owned subsidiary as well as loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes do not impact on the Consolidated Entity’s ﬁ nancial position in this year. (iv) AASB 2008-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate The amended standard is applicable from 1 July 2009 and removes references to the cost method. The distinction between pre and post acquisition profits is no longer relevant as all dividends are now recognised in proﬁ t or loss. (v) AASB 7 Financial Instruments – Disclosure The amended standard is applicable from 1 July 2009 and requires additional disclosure about the fair value measurement of ﬁ nancial instruments, using a three level fair value hierarchy. The amendments also clarify the disclosure requirements about liquidity risks for derivative transactions and assets used for liquidity management. 44 FSA Group Ltd – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 87,548 87,548 9,157 9,157 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 2.

Trade and Other Receivables continued Debt Agreement receivables Debt agreement receivables are collected on 2 bases: 1. For all debt agreements accepted by ITSA for processing prior to 1 July 2007, debt agreement fees are receipted in priority to other parties to the debt agreement, and in accordance with work performed to date; and 2. For all debt agreements accepted by ITSA for processing after 1 July 2007, debt agreement fees are receipted on a pro rata basis, in parity with other parties to the debt agreement. These debtors are assessed as being in arrears where they do not make their periodic payments as required by their debt agreements and where the terms of this payment have not been re-negotiated and approved by creditors to the debt agreement. This is monitored continuously by the Company’s internal collection department. Impairment of debt agreement receivables is assessed on a collective (portfolio) basis based on historical collections data. Considering the length of time it takes to collect debts in administration and the inherent uncertainty over the collection of these amounts this method represents management’s “best estimate” of the recoverability of debtors in the debt agreement business. Amounts are written off against this account as bad when debt agreements are terminated by creditors. Bridging and factoring ﬁ nance receivables Bridging ﬁ nance receivables are generally on 90 day terms and factoring ﬁ nance receivables are generally on 14 to 60 day terms. Impairment of bridging ﬁ nance receivables and factoring ﬁ nance receivables is assessed primarily by the equity in their underlying mortgage security (collateral), any ﬁ xed and ﬂ oating charges over the borrower’s business assets, the credit quality of the debtor, payment history and any other information available. Factoring ﬁ nance receivables are credit insured up to 90c in every dollar of approved receivables. These debtors are assessed as being in arrears where they do not make their payment obligations as required by their loan contracts and where the terms of this payment have not been re-negotiated. This is monitored monthly by management. At reporting date there are certain bridging ﬁ nance receivables that were past due and are not impaired. Management has reviewed these receivables, their underlying mortgage security (collateral) and other information available, and have considered these to be recoverable. Of the $4,874,472 of receivables which are past 90 days in arrears, $1,885,734 represents bridging ﬁ nance receivables which are have underlying collateral and security as mentioned above. Other trade and sundry receivables Other trade and sundry receivables are generally on 14 to 30 day terms. Impairment of other trade and sundry receivables is assessed on an individual basis with regard to the credit quality of the debtor, payment history and any other information available. These debtors are assessed as being in arrears where they do not pay on their invoice terms and where the terms of this payment have not been re-negotiated. This is monitored monthly by management. At reporting date there are certain other trade and sundry receivables that were past due and are not impaired. Management has reviewed these receivables, their payment history and other information available, and have considered these to be recoverable. 49 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 9.

Mortgage Finance Assets continued Impairment An impairment loss is recognised if the total expected recoveries in regard to an individual loan do not exceed the mortgage balance. In the event that actual or expected sales proceeds do not exceed the mortgage loan balance, this difference and any realisation costs would equal the impairment loss. Total recoveries include expected or actual net sales proceeds resulting from enforced sale of property security. Impairment has been assessed on an individual basis with primary regard to the underlying equity in mortgage security (collateral) for each of the loans receivable and also with regard to the credit quality of the debtor, payment history and any other information available. A mortgage loan is classiﬁ ed as being in arrears at the reporting date on the basis of “past due” amounts. Any loan with an amount that is past due (either instalment arrears or total arrears comprising of any instalments arrears plus any other charges) is classiﬁ ed as being in arrears and the total amount of the loan is recorded as in arrears. Ageing of arrears is determined by dividing total arrears over instalment amount and multiplying this by the instalment frequency (i.e. weekly, fortnightly, and monthly). At reporting date, the Group had registered mortgages over real property (comprising of residential land and buildings) for each of the mortgage loan receivables. The assessed fair value of the underlying real property securities at reporting date were $485,571,000 (2009: $241,822,500). The valuations of the underlying property securities have been performed at the later of the original loan application or subsequent loan variation date and do not take into account any other realisation costs.

Intangible Assets continued Impairment The recoverable amount of goodwill attributable to the 180 Group CGU, is determined based on “value in use” calculations, by estimating the future cash inﬂ ows and outﬂ ows to be derived by the CGU and applying an appropriate discount rate to those future cashﬂ ows. The major key assumption relating to the forecast information is the continued growth of the factoring ﬁ nance division and the utilisation of its funding lines. The cashﬂ ows have been projected over a 2 year period with a growth rate of 3% each year. The cashﬂ ows beyond the two year period are extrapolated using a constant growth rate of 3%, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the industry. An average pre-tax discount rate of 18.5% has been applied to the net cashﬂ ows. Consolidated Entity Parent Entity 2010 $ 2009 $ 2010 $ 2009 $ Note 16.

Segment Information continued Information about operating segments Identiﬁ cation of reportable segments The Consolidated Entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker has identiﬁ ed three reportable segments based on the differences in providing services and providing ﬁ nance products. These three segments are subject to different regulatory environments and legislation. The three identiﬁ ed reportable segments are: Services; Home Loan Lending; and Business Services and Lending. Services include debt agreement proposal preparation and administration, reﬁ nance broking, trustee services and other related services. Home Loan Lending includes the provision of mortgage ﬁ nance. Business Services and Lending includes corporate insolvency consultancy services and the provision of bridging ﬁ nance and factoring ﬁ nance. The Consolidated Entity operates in one geographic region – Australia. Measurement Each identiﬁ ed reportable segment accounts for transactions consistently with the Accounting policies mentioned in Note 1 to these ﬁ nancial statements. Inter-segment transactions are highlighted as eliminated to reconcile to the proﬁ t, total assets and liabilities amounts of the Consolidated Entity, with the exception of internal reﬁ nance broking fees which have not been eliminated in the segment proﬁ t of Home Loan Lending. The Consolidated Entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, has speciﬁ cally elected to do this so that the Home Loan Lending division can be read as a standalone entity and have its cost structure benchmarked against other similar market lenders. Centrally incurred costs for shared services are allocated between segments based employee numbers as a percentage of the total head count. Note 27. Financial Instruments Financial and Capital Risk Management The Group undertakes transactions in a range of ﬁ nancial instruments including: (cid:129) Cash and cash equivalents (cid:129) Trade and other receivables (cid:129) Mortgage Finance Assets (Mortgage receivables) (cid:129) Other Financial Assets (cid:129) Payables (including Institutional creditor liabilities) (cid:129) Interest Bearing Liabilities including 364 day rolling Note Facility funding, Bank loans, Mortgage Loans and Hire Purchase Liabilities 64 FSA Group Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 27.

The Audit and Risk Management Committee is responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies. The Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee reports to the Board of Directors on its activities. Risk management procedures are established by the Audit and Risk Management Committee and carried out by management to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Consolidated Entity and to set controls and monitor risks. These are discussed individually below. Capital Management The Consolidated Entity’s objectives in managing its capital is the safeguard of the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, maintain the support of its Investors and other business partners, support the future growth initiatives of the Consolidated Entity and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the costs of capital. The Consolidated Entity’s current capital maintenance policy as opposed to a dividend policy is consistent with its Capital Management objectives. These objectives are reviewed periodically by the Board. The Consolidated Entity assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of capital and gearing (i.e. debt/equity mix) in line with these objectives. Gearing is used to monitor levels of debt capital used by the Consolidated Entity to fund its operations. The ratio is calculated as Net Interest Bearing Liabilities divided by Tangible Assets (less Cash Assets). The gearing ratio at 30 June 2010, excluding the Consolidated Entity’s special purpose entity Fox Symes Home Loans Warehouse Trust #1, whose liabilities are non-recourse to the Consolidated Entity, was 25.6% (2009: 26.8%). It was the policy of the Consolidated Entity during the 2010 ﬁ nancial year to maintain a gearing ratio, excluding the Consolidated Entity’s special purpose entity Fox Symes Home Loans Warehouse Trust #1 of less than 50% (2009: 50%) The Consolidated Entity deﬁ nes capital as total equity reported in the Statement of Financial Position. 65 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 27. Financial Instruments continued Fair values of ﬁ nancial instruments The carrying values of the Consolidated Entity’s ﬁ nancial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values. Fair value measurements recognised in the Statements of Financial Position The Consolidated Entity has only one ﬁ nancial asset measured at fair value through proﬁ t or loss, being an option to acquire shares in an unlisted proprietary company. The value has been determined by independent external experts using inputs which have been derived from observable market data. The fair value of this option as at 30 June 2010 was $898,050. This represents a “tier 2” fair value measurement as per AASB 7 Financial Instruments. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of ﬁ nancial loss to the Consolidated Entity if a customer or counterparty to a ﬁ nancial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Consolidated Entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under ﬁ nancial instruments entered into by the Consolidated Entity. Credit risk is concentrated in two categories of ﬁ nancial instruments: (cid:129) Trade and other receivables, including bridging ﬁ nance receivables and factoring ﬁ nance receivables; and (cid:129) Mortgage Finance Assets (Residential mortgage secured loans receivable) Credit and lending policies have been established for all lending operations whereby each new borrower is analysed individually for creditworthiness and serviceability prior to the Consolidated Entity doing business with them. This includes where applicable credit history checks and affordability assessment and, in the case of lending activities, conﬁ rming the existence and title of the property security, and assessing the value of the security provided. These are monitored by the Audit and Risk Management Committee though the management of the Consolidated Entity. Mortgage Finance Assets are secured by ﬁ rst mortgage security over real property. Bridging ﬁ nance and factoring ﬁ nance receivables are secured by ﬁ rst or second mortgage security, and where applicable, ﬁ xed and ﬂ oating charges over business assets. The Consolidated Entity retains the mortgages over the secured real property (consisting of land and buildings) until the loans are repaid. The Consolidated Entity is entitled to take possession of and enforce the sale of the secured real property in the event that the borrower defaults under the terms of their mortgage. Personal Insolvency (debt agreement and personal insolvency agreements under the Bankruptcy Act) receivables are unsecured, though debtors are assessed for serviceability and affordability prior to inception of each agreement. The above minimises the Consolidated Entity’s credit risk exposure to acceptable levels. The Audit and Risk Management Committee also establishes the Consolidated Entity’s allowance for impairment policy which is discussed in notes 8 and 11. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its ﬁ nancial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity’s approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufﬁ cient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Consolidated Entity’s reputation. The Consolidated Entity’s liquidity risk management policies include cashﬂ ow forecasting, which is reviewed and monitored monthly by management as part of the Consolidated Entity’s master budget and having access to funding through credit facilities. 66 FSA Group Ltd Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 27.

These relate to loans with its Subsidiaries. There is no contractual maturity on these balances. FSA Group Ltd has a secured note facility comprising of senior and mezzanine debt through a special purpose entity, the Fox Symes Home Loans Warehouse Trust No.1. The facility has a combined drawdown limit of $235,000,000. This facility is secured against the book of loan assets created by the trust. As at 30 June 2010 the Consolidated Entity had withdrawn $191,904,000 from this facility. It had unused credit at the end of the year of $43,096,000. FSA Group Ltd’s subsidiary 180 Group Pty Ltd has two secured loan facilities supporting its lending activities. The bridging ﬁ nance and factoring ﬁ nance facilities have drawdown limits of $7,000,000 and $25,000,000 respectively. As at 30 June 2010, the Company had withdrawn $2,850,000 from the bridging ﬁ nance facility and it had unused credit at the end of the year of $4,150,000 on this facility. As at 30 June 2010, the Company had withdrawn $11,668,631 from the factoring ﬁ nance facility and it had unused credit at the end of the year of $13,331,369 on this facility. 67 Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 27. Financial Instruments continued Warehouse facilities The Consolidated Entity is reliant on the renewal of existing warehouse facilities, the negotiation of new warehouse facilities, or the issuance of residential mortgage backed securities. Each warehouse facility is structured so that if it is not renewed or otherwise defaults there is only limited recourse to the Consolidated Entity. If a warehouse facility is not renewed or otherwise defaults and its assets are liquidated, the primary impact to the Consolidated Entity would be the loss of future income streams from excess spread, being the difference between our mortgage rate and the cost of funds, fee income and the write off of any unamortised balance of deferred transaction costs. The Directors are satisﬁ ed that any sale of mortgages in repayment of warehouse facilities or an event of default in relation to the Consolidated Entity’s warehouse facilities will not affect the Consolidated Entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Consolidated Entity’s income or the value of holdings in its ﬁ nancial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Market risk of the Consolidated Entity is concentrated in interest rate risk. Mortgage Finance Assets are lent on variable interest rates and are ﬁ nanced by variable rate borrowings, which mitigate the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to interest rate risk on these borrowings to an acceptable level. These borrowings are provided to the Consolidated Entity on a 364 day rolling facility and are non-recourse to the Consolidated Entity unless there is material event of default or breach of borrowing covenants. Bridging ﬁ nance assets and factoring ﬁ nance assets are provided to borrowers on ﬁ xed and variable rate terms. These are ﬁ nanced by variable rate borrowings. The returns on the products are sufﬁ cient to mitigate adverse interest rate movements on the borrowings. As such the risk does not warrant the cost of purchasing derivative ﬁ nancial instruments to mitigate this risk completely. The Board and Management are satisﬁ ed that this policy is appropriate for the Consolidated Entity at this time. These assets are ﬁ nanced by a long term debt facility. All other sources of ﬁ nance are immaterial to the Consolidated Entity in amount and exposure. Interest rate sensitivity analysis The tables below show the effect on ﬁ nance costs and proﬁ t after tax if interest rates had been 25 basis points (bps) higher or lower at reporting date on the Consolidated Entity’s ﬂ oating rate ﬁ nancial instruments (2009:50 bps). A 25 bps sensitivity is considered reasonable given the current level of both short-term and long-term Australian interest rates. This would represent approximately 1 rate increase/decrease. The Reserve Bank of Australia in its commentary has noted that interest rates have returned from emergency levels required to stimulate the economy through the Global Economic Crisis and as such have not moved the ofﬁ cial cash rate since May 2010. In the current economic environment, where inﬂ ation remains low and unemployment stable, it is unlikely that the Reserve Bank of Australia will commence a sharp upwards movement in the interest rate cycle over the next 12 months. The analysis is based on interest rate risk exposures at reporting date on both ﬁ nancial assets and liabilities. If interest rates increased by 25bps (2009: 50bps) – Increase/(decrease) If interest rates decreased by 25bps (2009: 50bps) – increase/(decrease) If interest rates increased by 25bps (2009: 50bps) – increase/(decrease) If interest rates decreased by 25bps (2009: 50bps) – increase/(decrease) 68 FSA Group Ltd Consolidated Entity Proﬁ t after tax 2010 $ 8,778 (8,778) 2010 $ 2,866 (2,866) 2009 $ 17,052 (17,052) Parent Entity Proﬁ t after tax 2009 $ 2,192 (2,192) Notes to the Financial Statements continued for the year ended 30 June 2010 Note 28.
