from the chairman
Following the
substantial
transformation
of your Company,
we are confident
that the coming
financial year will
generate positive
results for our
shareholders.
Dear Fellow Shareholder
The 2015 financial year has seen
a dramatic increase in the size and
scale of your Company.
The Board and management team
focused on two key goals during the
year: driving the growth of the Aristo
International Hotel in Vietnam, and
adding value to shareholders through
corporate activity.
We took a strong step towards the
first goal in November 2014, when
the construction of the Aristo was
completed, and the property received
its five star certification. After enduring
some headwinds in the soft opening
phase, the subsequent marketing
of the property has shown promising
signs of growth. We consider the
Aristo to be our flagship property,
and it is extremely important to us,
but it is no longer our major business,
as noted below.
The second goal was also achieved
during the year, with the signing in
January 2015 of a deal to acquire the
Star Vegas Resort & Club in Cambodia.
The deal was successfully completed
on 1 July 2015. The Star Vegas is now
our largest property, and the deal has
increased the pro forma revenues
of your Company by a factor of more
than five times. It has also provided
substantial diversification benefits,
with the Star Vegas serving primarily
Thai customers, while the Aristo serves
primarily Chinese customers.
In order to complete the deal, the
Company successfully raised $132
million via a pro rata rights issue. We
would like to thank shareholders for
their support of the Company’s strategy.
As a means of clearing the decks prior
to completing the Star Vegas deal,
we completed the spin-off of the
mobile technology business, iSentric,
into a separate ASX-listed company
in September 2014. This was followed
by the sale of our wagering marketing
business, Way2Bet, in October
2014. Accordingly the Company no
longer operates its former Gaming
Technology businesses.
With the completion of the Star Vegas
deal on 1 July 2015, the Board was
expanded through the addition
of Ham Techatut Sukjaroenkraisri as an
Executive Director, and Paul Porntat
Amatavivadhana as a Non-Executive
Director. These gentlemen have
substantial experience in
Thai-facing businesses, and the
gaming industry in particular, and have
already added significant value to the
Board’s deliberations.
Your Board is one of the most
ethnically and culturally diverse
boards in the ASX300, with 57% of its
members having been born, educated
and now residing in Asia. This
provides deep and direct experience
and knowledge of the regions in which
we operate. According to the 2015
Watermark Board Diversity Index,
only 17% of directors on the boards
of ASX100 companies have similar
overseas experience and heritage.
For companies in the ASX100-200,
the figure is less than 10%.
Further, we have two directors originally
from Malaysia, and two from Thailand.
These two countries are amongst
Australia’s top 10 trading partners,
but they have minimal representation
among the ASX200 boards.
Following the substantial
transformation of your Company, we
are confident that the coming financial
year will generate positive results for
our shareholders.

donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportfrom the managing director
Dear Fellow Shareholder
In last year’s Annual Report, I stated
that “we expect to transform and
expand our business in the year
ahead”. I am pleased to confirm that
we have delivered on this promise.
The successful acquisition of the Star
Vegas Resort & Club has ensured that
the new financial year has begun very
brightly for Donaco. The Star Vegas
has demonstrated the power of its
diversified revenue streams, with rapid
growth in turnover and revenue over
the past 12 months.
The Star Vegas is a large and high
quality property, with 385 hotel rooms,
109 gaming tables,1500 slot machines
and 57,000 square metres of usable
building space. It has an enviable
position in the Poipet gaming market,
which is the closest legal gaming
destination to the greater Bangkok
area and its population of some
15 million people.
Our marketing strategies for the
Star Vegas property, and the ongoing
improvements in the highway linking
the Star Vegas to Bangkok, will drive
continuing growth in this business
in FY16.
In addition, our recent deal with Heng
Sheng Group, one of Macau’s leading
junket operators, will bring substantial
numbers of VIP players from outside
Thailand to the Star Vegas Resort
& Club. This deal is expected to
generate significant additional
revenues for Donaco in FY16.
The fitout for the new Heng Sheng
gaming room at the Star Vegas was
completed very quickly and efficiently,
which is a testament to the high
quality and capacity of the Star Vegas
property, and the professionalism
of the management team. Our
relationship with the Heng Sheng
Group was successfully launched
in September 2015, with a large
number of new VIP players visiting
the property for the first time and
enjoying the entertainment at 30
new gaming tables.
The Heng Sheng relationship will
help us to capture some of the strong
demand from Chinese tourists visiting
Cambodia. In the first six months
of calendar 2015, Chinese tourist
numbers to Cambodia grew by 22%.
Many of these visitors are keen to
enter via the international airport
at Siem Reap, which provides access
to the world-famous Angkor Wat
Archaeological Park. Siem Reap
is also an easy two-hour drive to
our Star Vegas property.
The Aristo International Hotel in
Vietnam is also back on track in recent
months, after a difficult first year.
Record levels of visitation and strong
turnover figures give us confidence
in the performance of this flagship
business for the coming year.
Further, we recently signed
a ground-breaking sponsorship deal
with Manchester United, which is also
expected to drive further growth in
the year ahead, at both the Star Vegas
and the Aristo. Our appointment as
the Official Casino Resort Partner of
Manchester United will drive increased
positive awareness of both properties
in the Company’s key target markets,
and is expected to generate
significant value for the Company.
With the expansion of our business,
we have also expanded the
capabilities of our senior management
team. I am pleased that Mr Chong
Kwong Yang has joined us in the
role of Chief Financial Officer, after
consulting to us for 12 months while
working on the Star Vegas acquisition.
Mr Richard Na remains as a key
member of the management team, in
his capacity as Deputy Chief Executive
Officer, thus ensuring continuity and
ongoing depth of management talent.
Our Company now employs some
1800 people across two major leisure
and entertainment properties in
Asia. The capability of this diverse
workforce gives us a strong base to
pursue success in these businesses,
and any others that meet our
investment criteria.
While a strong pipeline of investment
opportunities continues to present
itself to us, I wish to emphasise that
we are highly disciplined in our
approach, and will not pursue any
deal unless it provides good returns
to shareholders. We are confident that
the Star Vegas deal will be proven to
meet these criteria.

(appointed 1 July 2015)

principal activities
During the financial year the
principal continuing activities of the
consolidated entity consisted of:
• operation of a hotel and casino
in northern Vietnam;
• operation and development
of gaming technology, including
mobile payment gateways; and
• acquisition and disposal
of businesses.
dividends
There were no dividends to
shareholders paid, recommended or
declared during the current or previous
financial year. A dividend was paid by
the Lao Cai International Hotel Joint
Venture Company to non-controlling
interests (the Vietnamese Government)
in the previous financial year. The
consolidated entity’s dividend policy
is unchanged from that set out in the
prospectus dated 13 December 2012,
which stated: The Company intends
to pay dividends to Shareholders in
the future subject to the availability of
sufficient profits and franking credits
and subject to the Company’s then
current working capital requirements
and growth plans. Shareholders should
note that the payment of dividends
is not guaranteed.
review of operations and
financial results
The loss for the consolidated entity
after providing for income tax and
non-controlling interest amounted
to $2,928,075 (30 June 2014: profit
of $6,793,403).
The primary focus of the Board and
management team during FY15 was
to complete the successful acquisition
of the Star Vegas Resort & Club in
Cambodia, which took place on
1 July 2015. Accordingly the FY15
statutory results include only the
Aristo International Hotel, which as
at the date of this report represents
approximately 15% of the Company’s
overall business, in terms of net
(reported) revenue.
Aristo International Hotel –
performance summary
The performance of the Aristo
International Hotel was affected by
a number of specific factors during
the year. The property was in soft
opening mode until November 2014,
with not all facilities available. Further,
the performance of the property in the
December half was adversely affected
by China’s travel warning for Vietnam,
the Soccer World Cup, and an
earthquake in the Aristo’s main target
market of Yunnan Province.
Despite these factors, the Aristo saw
steady increases in casino visitation,
which grew by 28% over the year,
and in gaming turnover. Table game
turnover grew by 17% in Australian
dollar terms, while slot machine
turnover grew by 294%. Normalised
results show operating revenue grew
by 51%, while earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA) grew by 67%.
Normalised results adjust the revenue
received from the VIP table games
business, by applying a theoretical
win rate of 2.85% to VIP rolling
chip turnover. This provides a more
accurate guide to the underlying
operating performance of the VIP
table games business, which can
experience significant volatility over
shorter periods. The theoretical
win rate for VIP baccarat in Asia is
generally accepted to range between
2.7% and 3.0% of rolling chip turnover.
The Company normalises its revenue
from VIP table games in the middle of
this range, at 2.85%, in line with other
Asian casino operators.
Actual results at the Aristo were
affected by a below theoretical win
rate of 1.93% on VIP table games.
The VIP win rate at the Aristo has
been closely monitored by the
Board and management team. This
process of scrutiny has included the
engagement of external consultants,
who have confirmed that while some
processes could be tightened (and
this has been addressed), the low win
rate simply comes down to the luck
factor. With the Aristo having a heavy
concentration of VIP players, the
business in FY15 lacked the spread
of smaller players required to counter
the effects of a significant win by
a VIP player. Management is working
to address this issue via marketing
plans to attract more main hall players.
Increases in operating expenses at
the Aristo International Hotel primarily
relate to the increased scale of
operations at the new property, which
opened in May 2014. The workforce
was scaled up from 420 staff at the
start of FY14, to 850 staff at the start
of FY15. Staff numbers were scaled
down to 800 during the year, but
due to recent increases in business
activity and visitation, have again been
increased to 850.
The increase in cost of sales relates
to food and beverage consumables,
driven by the 149% increase in food
and beverage revenues during the
year. Property costs (housekeeping
items etc.) also increased, due to the
994% increase in accommodation
revenues during the year.
Other developments
The Gaming Technology businesses
were successfully sold during the year.
The primary business was iSentric Sdn
Bhd, a successful mobile commerce
business based in Kuala Lumpur. The
spin-off of iSentric was completed on
23 September 2014, when iSentric
Limited listed on the ASX under the
code ‘ICU’. The other main Gaming
Technology business was Way2Bet Pty
Limited, which operated the Company’s
wagering marketing portal in Australia.
This business was sold on 31 October
2014. As a result of these disposals,
both iSentric and Way2Bet have been
treated as discontinuing operations
in the FY15 statutory accounts.
significant changes in the
state of affairs
On 26 February 2014, the Company
announced that it planned to spin
off its mobile technology business,
iSentric Sdn Bhd, into a new company
separately listed on the ASX. A binding
Share Sale Agreement to implement
the transaction was signed with OMI
Holdings Limited on 9 May 2014.
The agreed value for the sale was
$12,000,000 in ordinary fully paid
shares in OMI, which were distributed
to Donaco shareholders in specie.
The transaction was completed
on 23 September 2014, when OMI
Holdings Limited changed its name to
iSentric Limited and iSentric Limited
was requoted on the ASX under
the code ‘ICU’. Donaco distributed
its shares in the newly listed entity
to Donaco shareholders in specie
on 16 September 2014. Donaco
shareholders with a minimum of
19,206 shares on the record date
of 12 September 2014 received
approximately 0.13 iSentric shares
for each Donaco share. Holders
of fewer Donaco shares had their
entitlements sold, and received the
proceeds of sale (less costs) in cash.
No impairment loss was recognised
on the reclassification of iSentric
to a discontinued operation.
On 31 October 2014, Way2Bet Pty
Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company
that managed the Company’s online
wagering marketing business, was
sold to Punters Paradise Pty Limited.
The net proceeds of sale to the
Company were $450,000.
There were no other significant
changes in the state of affairs of
the consolidated entity during the
financial year.
matters subsequent to the
end of the financial year
The ultimate parent company, Donaco
International Limited (DNA), entered
into a share sale agreement on 23
January 2015, supplemental share
sale agreement on 22 May 2015, and
amending and restating deed on 18
June 2015 (the ‘Sale and Purchase
Agreements’) with independent third
parties for the acquisition of the 100%
equity interests in DNA Star Vegas Co.,
Ltd (‘DNA Star’) for a consideration
of USD360 million. DNA Star is
principally engaged in operation of
a casino business in Cambodia. The
consideration to be paid by DNA to
the vendor was made by:
1. Deposit of USD5 million within 14
days of execution of the share sale
agreement, which occurred in FY15.
2. USD135 million to be paid on
completion date of acquisition.
3. USD120 million by issuing
consideration shares in DNA on the
completion date of acquisition.
4. USD100 million to be paid to an
account or held in escrow in favour
of the vendor.
According to the nomination
letter signed on 22 June 2015,
DNA nominated its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Donaco Hong Kong
Limited (‘DHK’), to be the registered
owner of DNA Star and vested unto
DHK all of the rights, titles and interest
in DNA Star under and/or pursuant
to the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
The acquisition was completed on 1 July
2015. Consequent on the completion
of the acquisition, applicable legal
and consultancy fees of $10,444,225
were expensed and paid in the month
of July 2015. As part payment for the
acquisition, a term loan of USD100
million from Mega International
Commercial Bank Co, Ltd of Taiwan
was drawn down on 1 July 2015, and
the proceeds paid to the vendor.
Pursuant to a detailed valuation report
and purchase price allocation report
dated 22 January 2015 prepared by
Colliers International Hong Kong
Limited and its related party, Colliers
International Thailand, the fair value
of the business acquired by DNA was
USD411.2 million. Since the price paid
was USD360 million, this valuation
would require the acquisition to be
treated as a bargain purchase, which
would require the excess of USD51.2
million to be recorded as a positive
income amount in the Company’s
income statement.
However the directors have decided
to take a more conservative approach
to the valuation, and will continue to
evaluate the business and the assets
acquired in more detail over the next 12
months, before deciding whether to treat
the acquisition as a bargain purchase.
As a result of the successful acquisition
of the Star Vegas Resort & Club
on 1 July 2015, the FY15 statutory
results relate only to the Company’s
pre-existing business, the Aristo
International Hotel in Vietnam. Based
on unaudited Star Vegas management
accounts for FY15, the Aristo now
represents approximately 15% of the
Company’s overall business, in terms
of net (reported) revenue.
Unaudited management accounts
for FY15 show that the Star Vegas
12

donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportachieved actual net revenue of $92.66
million, and earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation and amortisation
(EBITDA) of $70.22 million, with net
profit after tax (NPAT) of $65.4 million.
Normalised results show revenue
of $100.82 million, EBITDA of $78.39
million, and NPAT of $73.56 million.
In order to provide working capital for
the consolidated entity, a term loan
facility in the amount of USD20 million
from OL Master Limited was drawn
down on 7 July 2015.
No other matter or circumstance
has arisen since 30 June 2015 that
has significantly affected, or may
significantly affect, the consolidated
entity’s operations, the results of
those operations, or the consolidated
entity’s state of affairs in future
financial years.
likely developments, business
strategies and prospects
The Company operates leisure and
entertainment businesses across the
Asia Pacific region.
Our largest business is the Star Vegas
Resort & Club, a successful casino and
hotel complex in Poipet, Cambodia,
on the border with Thailand. Star
Vegas was established in 1999, and
is the largest and highest quality of
the Poipet casino hotels. The property
has more than 100 gaming tables,
more than 1400 slot machines and 385
hotel rooms.
Our flagship business is the Aristo
International Hotel, a successful
boutique casino in northern Vietnam,
located on the border with Yunnan
Province, China. Established in 2002,
the property has recently been
expanded to a brand new five star
resort complex with 400 hotel rooms.
Donaco is a pioneer casino operator
in Vietnam and owns a 95% interest
in the business, in a joint venture with
the Government of Vietnam.
The operation and marketing
of both of these properties will
underpin our growth during the
next 12 months. Our strategy is to
take advantage of the demand for
leisure and entertainment in the
Asia Pacific region, and to leverage
the experience of the Board and
management in the gaming sector.
This will complement the growth
at the expanded casinos in both
Cambodia and Vietnam, and provide
for diversification.
Material risks to this strategy include
those affecting listed entities
generally, and companies operating
in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam
generally. These risks include the
possibility of adverse macroeconomic
developments, such as exchange
rate declines; cross-border disputes;
or terrorist attacks affecting the
Company’s key target markets. Other
material risks include the possibility of
adverse regulatory change affecting
casino operators, such as changes in
tax rates, and the possibility of breach
of licences or legislation. These risks
are carefully monitored by the Board
and management team. These key

renumeration report (audited)
remuneration report
(audited)
The remuneration report details
the key management personnel
remuneration arrangements for
the consolidated entity, in accordance
with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and
its Regulations.
Key management personnel are
those persons having authority and
responsibility for planning, directing
and controlling the activities of the
entity, directly or indirectly, including
all directors.
The remuneration report is set out
under the following main headings:
• Principles used to determine the
nature and amount of remuneration
• Details of remuneration
• Share-based compensation
• Additional information
• Additional disclosures relating
to key management personnel.
Principles used to determine
the nature and amount
of remuneration
The objective of the consolidated
entity’s executive reward framework
is to ensure reward for performance
is competitive and appropriate for
the results delivered. The framework
aligns executive reward with the
achievement of strategic objectives
and the creation of value for
shareholders, and conforms to the
market best practice for the delivery
of reward. The Board of Directors (‘the
Board’) ensures that executive reward
satisfies the following key criteria for
good reward governance practices:
• competitiveness and
reasonableness
• acceptability to shareholders
• performance linkage/alignment
of executive compensation
• transparency.
The performance of the consolidated
entity depends on the quality
of its directors and executives.
The remuneration philosophy is
to attract and retain high quality
personnel, and motivate them
to achieve high performance.
The Board has an established
Nominations, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee,
consisting only of non-executive
directors, with a majority of
independent directors. It is primarily
responsible for setting the overall
remuneration policy and guidelines for
the Company, and its functions include:
• reviewing and recommending to the
Board for approval, the Company’s
general approach towards
remuneration, and to oversee the
development and implementation
of remuneration programs;
• reviewing and recommending to
the Board for approval, corporate
goals and objectives relevant to
the remuneration of the Managing
Director/Chief Executive Officer,
and evaluating the performance
of the Managing Director/Chief
Executive Officer in light of those
goals and objectives;
• reviewing and recommending to the
Board for approval, remuneration
programs applicable to the
Company executives, and ensuring
that these programs differ from the
structure of remuneration for non-
executive directors; and
• reviewing the remuneration of
non-executive directors, and
ensuring that the structure of non-
executive directors’ remuneration
is clearly distinguished from
that of executives by ensuring
that non-executive directors are
remunerated by way of fees, do not
participate in schemes designed
for the remuneration of executives,
do not receive options or bonus
payments, and are not provided
with retirement benefits other than
statutory superannuation.
In consultation with external
remuneration consultants when
necessary (refer to the section ‘Use of
Remuneration Consultants’ below),
the Nominations, Remuneration
and Corporate Governance
Committee has structured an
executive remuneration framework
that is market competitive and
complementary to the reward strategy
of the consolidated entity.
The remuneration framework is
aligned to shareholders’ interests:
• has economic profit as a core
component of plan design
• focuses on sustained growth
in shareholder wealth, consisting
of growth in share price, and
delivering constant or increasing
return on assets as well as focusing
the executive on key non-financial
drivers of value
• attracts and retains high
calibre executives.
The remuneration framework
is also aligned to program
participants’ interests:
• rewards capability and experience
• reflects competitive reward
for contribution to growth in
shareholder wealth
• provides a clear structure for
earning rewards.
All remuneration paid to directors
and executives is valued at cost to the
Company and expensed.
In accordance with best practice
corporate governance, the structures of
remuneration for non-executive directors
and for executives are separate.

donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportNon-executive directors’
remuneration
Fees and payments to non-
executive directors reflect the
demands that are made on, and
the responsibilities of, the directors.
Non-executive directors’ fees and
payments are reviewed annually by
the Nominations, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee.
The Nominations, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee
may, from time to time, receive advice
from independent remuneration
consultants to ensure non-executive
directors’ fees and payments are
appropriate and in line with the market.
There are no bonuses payable to non-
executive directors, and there are no
termination payments for non-executive
directors on retirement from office,
other than statutory superannuation
entitlements. Non-executive directors
are not granted options.
ASX Listing Rules require that the
aggregate of non-executive directors’
remuneration be determined
periodically by a general meeting. The
most recent determination was at the
2013 Annual General Meeting, where
the shareholders approved a maximum
aggregate remuneration of $750,000
per annum, including statutory
superannuation contributions.
Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity’s
remuneration policy is to ensure that
executive remuneration packages
properly reflect a person’s duties
and responsibilities, and that
remuneration is competitive in
attracting, retaining and motivating
executives of the highest calibre.
As a result, remuneration packages
for the Managing Director/Chief
Executive Officer and senior
executives include both fixed and
performance-based remuneration.
Base salary is determined by
considering the scope of the
executive’s responsibility, importance
to the business, competitiveness in
the market, and assessed potential.
The total remuneration package for
executives includes superannuation
and other non-cash benefits to reflect
the total employment cost to the
Company, inclusive of any fringe
benefits tax.
The executive remuneration and reward
framework has four components:
• base pay and non-monetary
benefits
• short-term performance incentives
• long-term incentives, currently
consisting of the grant of options
• other remuneration such as super-
annuation and long service leave.
The combination of these
components comprises the executive’s
total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting
of base salary, superannuation
and non-monetary benefits (if
any), is reviewed annually by the
Nominations, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee,
based on individual and business unit
performance, the overall performance
of the consolidated entity and
comparable market remuneration.
Executives may receive their fixed
remuneration in the form of cash or
other fringe benefits (for example
motor vehicle benefits) where it does
not create any additional costs to
the consolidated entity and provides
additional value to the executive.
The short-term incentive (‘STI’)
program is designed to align the
targets of executives with the targets
of the consolidated entity. STI
payments are granted to executives
based on the achievement of
specific annual targets and key
performance indicators (‘KPIs’). During
FY15, applicable KPIs related to
achievement of corporate objectives,
specifically the successful acquisition
of the Star Vegas Resort & Club, and
the successful raising of $132 million
to enable the consolidated entity to
achieve its objectives.
The long-term incentive (‘LTI’)
program currently consists of
participation in the Company’s option
plan. Options are awarded on an
annual basis, ensuring that at any
given time, the executives have at
risk a number of plans, with different
vesting periods and amounts. This
also helps to smooth out both the risk
and the cash flow for the Company
and for executives. The option
plan was established pursuant to
shareholder approval given at the
Annual General Meeting held on
21 November 2013.
Consolidated entity performance
and link to remuneration
Remuneration for certain executives
is directly linked to performance of
the consolidated entity. Bonus and
incentive payments are dependent
on defined KPIs being met and are
at the discretion of the Nominations,
Remuneration and Corporate
Governance Committee.
The section headed ‘Additional
Information’ below provides information
on the improvement in revenue,
earnings, share price and market
capitalisation for the Consolidated
Entity over the past three years.
The increase of 50% in the
consolidated entity’s market
capitalisation is directly attributable to
the successful acquisition of the Star
Vegas Resort & Club on 1 July 2015.
This has increased the Company’s
revenues by a factor of 5.4 times,
based on unaudited management
accounts for the Star Vegas in FY15.
This has transformed the size and
scale of the consolidated entity.
The Nominations, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee is
of the opinion that the expansion of
the size and scale of the consolidated
entity’s business during the year can
be attributed in part to the adoption
of performance-based compensation,
and is satisfied with the upwards trend
in shareholder wealth. The Committee
also considers that the remuneration
framework in place will continue
to increase shareholder wealth if
maintained over the coming years,
subject to any adjustments that are
necessary or desirable to reflect the
Company’s growth.
Use of remuneration consultants
The consolidated entity did not
engage remuneration consultants
during the financial year ended
30 June 2015. Recommendations
received from remuneration
consultants in prior years were
implemented during the year.
An agreed set of protocols is put
in place at the time of engaging
remuneration consultants, to
ensure that any remuneration
recommendations are free from undue
influence from key management
personnel. The Board is satisfied that
there was no undue influence.
Voting and comments made at the
Company’s 2014 Annual General
Meeting (‘AGM’)
At the AGM held on 25 November
2014, 78.85% of the eligible votes
received supported the adoption of
the remuneration report for the year
ended 30 June 2014. Eligible votes
received represented approximately
23% of the total voting power in
the Company at that time. The
company did not receive any specific
feedback at the AGM regarding its
remuneration practices.

Criteria for performance-based
remuneration
The short-term incentive (‘STI’)
program is designed to align the
targets of executives with the targets
of the consolidated entity. STI
payments are granted to executives
based on specific annual targets and
key performance indicators (‘KPIs’)
being achieved. The Board, advised by
the Nominations, Remuneration and
Corporate Governance Committee,
applied these criteria in determining
the award of performance-based
remuneration during the year.
Performance-based bonuses were
paid on 1 October 2014, with the total
amounts set out in the tables above.
These bonuses related to performance
during FY14. The relevant criteria for
award of these bonuses included the
fact that during FY14, the Company’s
share price increased by a multiple of
2.65 times (an increase of 165%), and
the Company’s market capitalisation
increased by a multiple of 3.28 times
(an increase of 228%), as well as the
successful raising of $100 million
to enable the Company to pursue
its objectives.
During FY15, applicable KPIs related
to the achievement of corporate
objectives, specifically the successful
acquisition of the Star Vegas Resort
& Club, and the successful raising
of $132 million to enable the
consolidated entity to pursue
its objectives.
Service agreements
Remuneration and other terms
of employment for the Managing
Director, Chief Financial Officer
and the other key management
personnel are formalised in contracts
of employment. The service
agreements specify the components
of remuneration, benefits and notice
periods. The specified executives
are employed under contracts with
no fixed term. The Company may
terminate the contracts immediately
if the executive is guilty of serious
misconduct or wilful neglect of
18
19
donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportduties. Otherwise, the Company may
terminate the contracts by giving
three months’ notice or paying three
months’ salary (in the case of Mr Lim,
Mr Na and Mr Goh), or six months (in
the case of Mr Reichel). In the case
of Mr Lim and Mr Na, termination for
any reason other than just cause will
result in a termination payment of 24
months’ base salary.

Company for costs incurred, in their
capacity as a director or executive,
for which they may be held personally
liable, except where there is a lack of
good faith.
During the financial year, the Company
paid a premium in respect of a
contract to insure the directors and
executives of the Company against a
liability to the extent permitted by the
Corporations Act 2001. The contract
of insurance prohibits disclosure of the
nature of the liability and the amount
of the premium.
The Company has not, during or

indemnified or agreed to indemnify
the auditor of the Company or any
related entity against a liability
incurred by the auditor.
During the financial year, the Company
has not paid a premium in respect of
a contract to insure the auditor of the
Company or any related entity.

of the company
No person has applied to the Court
under section 237 of the Corporations
Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings
on behalf of the Company, or to
intervene in any proceedings to
which the Company is a party for the
purpose of taking responsibility on
behalf of the Company for all or part
of those proceedings.
non-audit services
Details of the amounts paid or
payable to the auditor for non-audit
services provided during the financial
year by the auditor are outlined in
note 31 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the
provision of non-audit services during
the financial year, by the auditor
(or by another person or firm on the
auditor’s behalf), is compatible with
the general standard of independence
for auditors imposed by the
Corporations Act 2001.

donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportThe directors are of the opinion that
the services as disclosed in note 31
to the financial statements do not
compromise the external auditor’s
independence requirements of
the Corporations Act 2001 for the
following reasons:
• all non-audit services have been
reviewed and approved to ensure
that they do not impact the integrity
and objectivity of the auditor; and
• none of the services undermine
the general principles relating to
auditor independence as set out
in APES 110 Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants issued by
the Accounting Professional and
Ethical Standards Board, including
reviewing or auditing the auditor’s
own work, acting in a management
or decision-making capacity for
the Company, acting as advocate
for the Company or jointly sharing
economic risks and rewards.

notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportnote 1. significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the
years presented, unless otherwise stated.
New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and
Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new, revised
or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board
(‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or
Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been
early adopted.
The adoption of these Accounting Standards and
Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the
financial performance or position of the consolidated entity.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are
most relevant to the consolidated entity:
AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities
The amendments are applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The
amendments add application guidance to address
inconsistencies in the application of the offsetting criteria in
AASB 132 ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’, by clarifying
the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of
set-off’; and clarifies that some gross settlement systems
may be considered to be equivalent to net settlement. The
adoption of the amendments from 1 July 2014 will not have
a material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable
Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The
disclosure requirements of AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’
have been enhanced to require additional information
about the fair value measurement when the recoverable
amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs
of disposals. Additionally, if measured using a present value
technique, the discount rate is required to be disclosed.
The adoption of these amendments from 1 January 2014
may increase the disclosures by the consolidated entity.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and affects several
Accounting Standards as follows: Amends the definition of
‘vesting conditions’ and ‘market condition’
and adds definitions for ‘performance condition’ and
‘service condition’ in AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’;
Amends AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ to clarify that
contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or
liability shall be measured at fair value at each reporting
date; Amends AASB 8 ‘Operating Segments’ to require
entities to disclose the judgments made by management
in applying the aggregation criteria; Clarifies that AASB
8 only requires a reconciliation of the total reportable
segments assets to the entity’s assets, if the segment assets
are reported regularly; Clarifies that the issuance of AASB
13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ and the amending of AASB
139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’
and AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ did not remove the
ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with
no stated interest rate at their invoice amount, if the effect
of discounting is immaterial; Clarifies that in AASB 116
‘Property, Plant and Equipment’ and AASB 138 ‘Intangible
Assets’, when an asset is revalued the gross carrying
amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with
the revaluation of the carrying amount (i.e. proportional
restatement of accumulated amortisation); and Amends
AASB 124 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ to clarify that an
entity providing key management personnel services to the
reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity is a
‘related party’ of the reporting entity. The adoption of these
amendments from 1 January 2015 will not have a material
impact on the consolidated entity.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle
These amendments are applicable to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and affects four
Accounting Standards as follows: Clarifies the ‘meaning of
effective IFRSs’ in AASB 1 ‘First-time Adoption of Australian
Accounting Standards’; Clarifies that AASB 3 ‘Business
Combination’ excludes from its scope the accounting
for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial
statements of the joint arrangement itself; Clarifies that the
scope of the portfolio exemption in AASB 13 ‘Fair Value
Measurement’ includes all contracts accounted for within
the scope of AASB 139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement’ or AASB 9 ‘Financial Instruments’,
regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial
assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB 132
‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’; and Clarifies that
determining whether a specific transaction meets the
definition of both a business combination as defined in
AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’ and investment property
as defined in AASB 140 ‘Investment Property’ requires
the separate application of both standards independently
of each other. The adoption of these amendments from
1 January 2015 will not have a material impact on the
consolidated entity.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations
Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities.
These financial statements also comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention, except for, where applicable,
the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial
assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
investment properties, certain classes of property, plant
and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires
management to exercise its judgment in the process of
applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The
areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity,
or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant
to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these
financial statements present the results of the consolidated
entity only. Supplementary information about the parent
entity is disclosed in note 34.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate
the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Donaco
International Limited (‘Company’ or ‘parent entity’) as
at 30 June 2015 and the results of all subsidiaries for the
year then ended. Donaco International Limited and its
subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial
statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.
Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the
consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity
controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed
to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power to direct the activities of the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains
on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity
are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the
asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have
been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with
the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the
acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership
interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as
an equity transaction, where the difference between the
consideration transferred and the book value of the share
of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised
directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of
subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of
financial position and statement of changes in equity of the
consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated
entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full,
even if that results in a deficit balance.
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a
subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill,
liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary
together with any cumulative translation differences
recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises
the fair value of the consideration received and the fair
value of any investment retained together with any gain
or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the ‘management
approach’, where the information presented is on the
same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief
Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is
responsible for the allocation of resources to operating
segments and assessing their performance.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars,
which is Donaco International Limited’s functional and
presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian
dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates
of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at financial year-end exchange rates
of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are
translated into Australian dollars using the exchange
rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses
of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars

rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All
resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in
other comprehensive income through the foreign currency
reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss
when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the
economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and
the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Casino revenue
Revenue at the playing tables is recognised upon the
differences between chips at the closing and chips at the
opening of each table plus chips transferred from the
playing table to the cage, less chips transferred from the
cage to the playing table. Revenue from slot machines
represents the amount received over the exchange counter
less the amount returned to customers.
Sale of goods
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale,
which is where the customer has taken delivery of the
goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer
and there is a valid sales contract.
Rendering of services
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised
in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the
effective interest method. This is a method of calculating
the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the
interest income over the relevant period using the effective
interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash receipts through the expected life
of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the
financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when
the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
Current and non-current classification
Inventories
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the
tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by
the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable
to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the
adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for
temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be
applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are
settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or
substantively enacted, except for:
• When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises
from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination
and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the
accounting nor taxable profits; or
• When the taxable temporary difference is associated with
interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and
the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it
is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse
in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible
temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it
is probable that future taxable amounts will be available
to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised
deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date.
Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits
will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered.
Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised
to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable
profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against
deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable
authority on either the same taxable entity or different
taxable entities that intend to settle simultaneously.
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the
consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is
classified as held for sale and that represents a separate
major line of business or geographical area of operations,
is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line
of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired
exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued
operations are presented separately on the face of the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial
position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected
to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in
normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose
of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months
after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash
equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used
to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is expected to be
settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the
purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months
after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right
to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months
after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified
as non-current.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as
non-current.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits
held at call with financial institutions, other short-term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade
receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable
are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.
A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised
when there is objective evidence that the consolidated
entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according
to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial
difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will
enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default
or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue)
are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be
impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted
at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating
to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect
of discounting is immaterial.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any
provision for impairment.
Inventories include consumable stores, food and beverages
and are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out basis and comprises
all costs of purchases, conversion and other costs incurred
in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs
of completion and selling expenses.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those
inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in
which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of
any write-down of inventories to net realizable value and
all losses of inventories are recognised as an expense in
the period of the write-down or loss occurs. The amount
of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising
from an increase in net realisable value, is recognised in
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income, in the period in which the reversal occurs.
Non-current assets of disposal groups classified
as held for sale
Non-current assets and assets of disposal groups are
classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than
through continued use. They are measured at the lower of
their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal.
For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to
be classified as held for sale, they must be available for
immediate sale in their present condition and their sale
must be highly probable.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or
subsequent write-down of the non-current assets and
assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal.
A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair
value less costs of disposal of non-current assets and assets
of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative
impairment loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised
while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other
expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale
continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets
of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented
separately on the face of the statement of financial position,
in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified
as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the
statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015notes to the consolidated financial statements FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015donaco international limited 2015 annual reportdonaco international limited 2015 annual reportProperty, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical
cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to
the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to
write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and
equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives
as follows:
Buildings and structures
Machinery and equipment
Motor vehicles
Office equipment and other
25 years
5–10 years
3–6 years
3–10 years
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are
reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised
upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit
to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the
carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to
profit or loss.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains
a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the
arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or
assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
A distinction is made between finance leases, which
effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially
all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased
assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor
effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.
Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received
from the lessor, are charged to the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
Intangible assets
The intangible asset includes costs incurred to acquire
interests in the usage of land in the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam for the original hotel, located in Lao Cai. The term
of the agreement is 30 years from the initial licensing date
of 19 July 2002. These land use rights are stated at cost less
accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated on a
straight-line basis over a period of 30 years, from the licensing
date. At the expiry of the land term it is expected that the
relevant State body will consider an application for extension.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill
is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or
loss and are not subsequently reversed.
Prepaid construction costs
Amounts recognised as prepaid construction costs relate
to tranche payments made to third party developers in
connection with the construction of the new Lao Cai Casino.
Tranche payments are made in advance of construction
work being performed in accordance with the terms of the
contractor agreements, however once associated works
have been completed an amount equal to the tranche
payment is transferred from prepaid construction costs
to construction in progress. Once recognised as part of
construction in progress the amounts are then carried on
the statement of financial position at cost, until such time as
the asset is completed and ready for its intended use. Work
in progress is not depreciated, but tested for impairment
annually. Once ready for its intended use an amount equal
to the cost of the completed asset will be transferred
to property, plant and equipment and accounted for in
accordance with the consolidated entity’s accounting policy
for property, plant and equipment.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite
useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested
annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that they might be
impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which
the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less
costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to
the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset
or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets
that do not have independent cash flows are grouped
together to form a cash-generating unit.
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services
provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the
financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term
nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not
discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually
paid within 30 days of recognition.
Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair
value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs.
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method.
Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting
date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.
Finance costs
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are
capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are
expensed in the period in which they are incurred including:
– interest on short-term and long-term borrowings.
Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary
benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected
to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when
the liabilities are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is
expensed to profit or loss when incurred.
Other long-term employee benefits
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not
expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the
reporting date are recognised in non-current liabilities,
provided there is an unconditional right to defer settlement
of the liability. The liability is measured as the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of
services provided by employees up to the reporting date
using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is
given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience
of employee departures and periods of service. Expected
future payments are discounted using market yields at the
reporting date on national corporate bonds with terms
to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible,
the estimated future cash outflows.
Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans
are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are
provided to employees. Equity-settled transactions are
awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided
to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at
fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently
determined using 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, together with non-vesting
conditions that do not determine whether the consolidated
entity receives the services that entitle the employees
to receive payment. No account is taken of any other
vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an
expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the
vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is
calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award,
the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely
to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The
amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the
cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less
amounts already recognised in previous periods.
Market conditions are taken into consideration in
determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject
to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective
of whether or not that market condition has been met,
provided all other conditions are satisfied.
If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum
an expense is recognised as if the modification has
not been made. An additional expense is recognised,
over the remaining vesting period, for any modification
that increases the total fair value of the share-based
compensation benefit as at the date of modification.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the
consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the
condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not
within the control of the consolidated entity or employee
and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining
expense for the award is recognised over the remaining
vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it
has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement
award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled
and new awards are treated as if they were a modification.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial,
is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will
take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence
of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or liability,

For
non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based
on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are
appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient
data is available to measure fair value, are used, maximising
the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the
use of unobservable inputs.
Issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net
of tax, from the proceeds.
Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account
for business combinations regardless of whether equity
instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-
date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former
owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business
combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree
is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share
of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs
are expensed as incurred to profit or loss.
On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity
assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities
assumed for appropriate classification and designation
in accordance with the contractual terms, economic
conditions, the consolidated entity’s operating or
accounting policies and other pertinent conditions
in existence at the acquisition date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the
consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity
interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value
and the difference between the fair value and the previous
carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer
is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration
classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or
loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted
for within equity.
The difference between the acquisition-date fair value
of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value
of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any
pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised
as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the
pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase
to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain
directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition
date, but only after a reassessment of the identification
and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-
controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration
transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest
in the acquirer.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on
a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts
the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises
additional assets or liabilities during the measurement
period, based on new information obtained about the facts
and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The measurement period ends on either the earlier of
(i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the
acquirer receives all the information possible to determine
fair value.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit
attributable to the owners of Donaco International Limited,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary
shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the
determination of basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other
financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary
shares and the weighted average number of shares
assumed to have been issued for no consideration
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of
the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred
is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is
recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset
or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the
amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount
of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority
is included in other receivables or other payables in the
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST
components of cash flows arising from investing or
financing activities that are recoverable from, or payable
to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net
of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not
yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations
that have recently been issued or amended but are not
yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the
consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended
30 June 2015. The consolidated entity’s assessment of the
impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards
and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated
entity, are set out below.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard and its consequential amendments are
applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2018 and completes phases I and III of
the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) ‘Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. This standard
introduces new classification and measurement models
for financial assets, using a single approach to determine
whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or
fair value. The accounting for financial liabilities continues
to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB
139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change
of fair value relating to the entity’s own credit risk is to
be presented in other comprehensive income unless it
would create an accounting mismatch. Chapter 6 ‘Hedge
Accounting’ supersedes the general hedge accounting
requirements in AASB 139 and provides a new simpler
approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more
closely align with risk management activities undertaken
by entities when hedging financial and non-financial risks.
The consolidated entity will adopt this standard and
the amendments from 1 July 2017 but the impact of its
adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.
Interpretation 21 Levies
This interpretation is applicable to annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Interpretation
clarifies the circumstances under which a liability to pay
a levy imposed by a government should be recognised,
and whether that liability should be recognised in full at
a specific date or progressively over a period of time. The
adoption of the interpretation from 1 January 2014 will not
have a material impact on the consolidated entity.
AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and
Financial Instruments makes amendments to AASB 9 to:
(i) replace the general hedge accounting requirements to
more closely align hedge accounting with risk management
activities undertaken when hedging financial and non-
financial risks; (ii) permit fair value changes due to changes
in ‘own credit risk’ of financial liabilities measured at fair
value to be recognised through other comprehensive
income, without applying all other requirements of AASB 9
at the same time; and (iii) defer the mandatory application
date of AASB 9 to annual reporting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2017. This application date is subject
to review and is expected to be revised by the IASB.
AASB 2014-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards – Clarification of Acceptable methods of
Depreciation and Amortisation. This Standard makes
amendments to AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment
and AASB 138 Intangible Assets. The main principle is to
establish the basis of depreciation and amortisation as
being the expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits of an asset rather than associated to
revenue streams. This Standard applies to annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The Company
has not elected early adoption.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The standard provides
a single standard for revenue recognition. The core principle
of the standard is that an entity will recognise revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. The standard will require: contracts
(written, verbal or implied) to be identified, together with
the separate performance obligations within the contract;
determination of the transaction price, adjusted for the
time value of money excluding credit risk; allocation of the
transaction price to the separate performance obligations
on a basis of relative stand-alone selling price of each
distinct good or service, or estimation approach if no distinct
observable prices exist; and recognition of revenue when
each performance obligation is satisfied. Credit risk will be
presented separately as an expense rather than adjusted to
revenue. For goods, the performance obligation would be
satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods.
For services, the performance obligation is satisfied when
the service has been provided, typically for promises to
transfer services to customers. For performance obligations
satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate
measure of progress to determine how much revenue
should be recognised as the performance obligation is
satisfied. Contracts with customers will be presented in
an entity’s statement of financial position as a contract
liability, a contract asset or a receivable, depending on
the relationship between the entity’s performance and the
customer’s payment. Sufficient quantitative and qualitative
disclosure is required to enable users to understand the
contracts with customers; the significant judgments made

Identification of reportable operating segments
The consolidated entity is organised into three operating
segments: Casino operations, Gaming Technology
operations and Corporate operations. These operating
segments are based on the internal reports that are
reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are
identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers
(‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining
the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation
of operating segments.
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies
adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent
with those adopted in the financial statements.
The information reported to the CODM is on at least
a monthly basis.
Types of products and services
The principal products and services of each of these
operating segments are as follows:
Casino
operations
Comprises the Aristo International
Hotel operations, including hotel
accommodation, gaming and leisure
facilities, operated in Vietnam.
Gaming Technology Comprises the operation and
operations
development of gaming technology,
including mobile payment gateways
and interactive media and gambling
applications for deployment on
television, mobile and internet.
Corporate
operations
Comprises of the development and
implementation of corporate strategy,
commercial negotiations, corporate
finance, treasury, management
accounting, corporate governance
and investor relations functions.
The consolidated entity is domiciled in Australia and
operates predominantly in four countries: Australia,
Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia.
Intersegment transactions
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates.
Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
in applying the guidance to those contracts; and any assets
recognised from the costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with
a customer. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard
from 1 January 2017 but the impact of its adoption is yet to
be assessed by the consolidated entity.
AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards (Parts A to C)
IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ contains
new requirements for the recognition of revenue. The
standard will also include additional disclosures about
revenue. Adoption of IFRS 15 is not mandatory until annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 and 1 January
2018 respectively. Early adoption is permitted. The potential
financial impact to the Group is not yet possible to determine.
note 2. critical accounting judgments,
estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.
Management continually evaluates its judgments and
estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities,
revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgments,
estimates and assumptions on historical experience and
on other various factors, including expectations of future
events, management believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgments and
estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The
judgments, estimates and assumptions that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective
notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Share-based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled
transactions with employees by reference to the fair value
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are
granted. The fair value is determined by using the Black-
Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions
upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting
estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-
based payments would have no impact on the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual
reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.
The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3
is determined by the use of valuation models. These include
discounted cash flow analysis or the use of observable
inputs that require significant adjustments based on
unobservable inputs.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful
lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for
its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible
assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a
result of technical innovations or some other event. The
depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where
the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or
technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been
abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Goodwill
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment,
whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible
assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with
the accounting policy stated in note 1. The recoverable
amounts of cash-generating units have been determined
based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations
require the use of assumptions, including estimated
discount rates based on the current cost of capital and
growth rates of the estimated future cash flows.
Income tax
The consolidated entity is subject to income taxes in the
jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is
required in determining the provision for income tax. There
are many transactions and calculations undertaken during
the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate
tax determination is uncertain. The consolidated entity
recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based
on the consolidated entity’s current understanding of the
tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is
different from the carrying amounts, such differences will
impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period
in which such determination is made.
Employee benefits provision
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits
expected to be settled more than 12 months from the
reporting date are recognised and measured at the present
value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in
respect of all employees at the reporting date.
In determining the present value of the liability, estimates
of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and
inflation have been taken into account.
Business combinations
As discussed in note 1, business combinations are initially
accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets
acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are
initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking into
consideration all available information at the reporting date.
Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business
combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable,
to the period the combination occurred and may have
an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and
amortisation reported.

Description
On 26 February 2014, the Company announced that it
planned to spin off its mobile technology business, iSentric
Sdn Bhd, into a new company separately listed on the
ASX. A binding Share Sale Agreement to implement the
transaction was signed with OMI Holdings Limited on
9 May 2014. The agreed value for the sale was $12,000,000
in ordinary fully paid shares in OMI, which were distributed
to Donaco shareholders in specie.
The transaction was completed on 23 September 2014,
when OMI Holdings Limited changed its name to iSentric
Limited and iSentric Limited was requoted on the ASX
under the code ‘ICU’. Donaco distributed its shares in the
newly listed entity to Donaco shareholders in specie on
16 September 2014. Donaco shareholders with a minimum
of 19,206 shares on the record date of 12 September
2014 received approximately 0.13 iSentric shares for each
Donaco share. Holders of fewer Donaco shares had their
entitlements sold, and received the proceeds of sale (less
costs) in cash. No impairment loss was recognised on the
reclassification of iSentric to a discontinued operation. On
31 October 2014, Way2Bet Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the
Company which managed the Company’s online wagering
marketing business, was sold to Punters Paradise Pty Limited.
The net proceeds of sale to the Company were $450,000.

discontinued operation during the year ended 30 June 2015

Impairment testing of goodwill
Goodwill is monitored by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’) at the cash generating unit level. CODM reviews
the business performance based on geography and type of business. It has identified two reportable cash generating units.
A business-level summary of the goodwill allocation is presented below:

depreciated in accordance with company policy and local legislation.
In the FY14, Land right of $33,779 was classified as Non-current assets – Property, plant and equipment. For FY15 this

The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit
of Donaco Singapore has been determined based on
the value-in-use calculation. To calculate this, cash flow
projections are based on financial budgets approved by
senior management covering a five-year period.
The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least
on an annual basis. To do so, the Group employs a value-
in-use calculation using cash flow projections from financial
budgets approved by senior management. Management
has forecast a strong growth rate in budgeted gross margin
for FY16 based on the growth in revenue from Aristo’s main
gaming floor, VIP gaming, and the increase in the number
of slot machines. The new hotel room, entertainment,
restaurant and bar revenue lines, with associated marketing
programs, will increase visitation to the new hotel, which
will also contribute to overall revenue growth. Gross margin
projections for future years are based on past performance
and management’s expectations for future performance in
each segment.
Management determined budgeted gross margin based
on past performance and its expectations for the future and
are considered to be reasonably achievable. The weighted
average growth rates used are consistent with forecasts
included in industry reports. The discount rates used reflect
specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the
countries in which they operate.
The recoverable amount calculation for goodwill is most
sensitive to changes in growth rate and EBIT margin
on sales. Based on sensitivity analysis performed, no
reasonable change in these assumptions would give rise
to an impairment.
Land right
An intangible asset of $38,390 relates to a 30-year land use
right in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Land use right
is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any
impairment losses. The amortisation period is 30 years. This
intangible asset is tested for impairment annually or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may be impaired.
In FY14, Land right of $33,779 was classified as
Non-current assets – Property, plant and equipment. For
FY15 this category has been reclassified as Non-current
assets – Intangibles

Construction relates to costs incurred by the new
construction of the Aristo Casino.
Amounts previously recognised as prepaid construction
costs, are transferred to construction in progress, once
associated works have been completed. Once recognised
as part of construction in progress the amounts are then
carried on the statement of financial position at cost,
until such time as the asset is completed and ready for its
intended use. Work in progress is not depreciated, but
tested for impairment annually. Once ready for its intended
use an amount equal to the cost of the completed asset will
be transferred to property, plant and equipment or non-
current prepayment and accounted for in accordance
with the consolidated entity’s accounting policy for each
asset class.
All borrowing costs incurred in connection with the
borrowing of funds that are directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of the qualifying
asset, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to
get ready for their intended use, are capitalised as part of
the cost of the asset, until substantially all those activities
necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended
use, or sale, are complete. Total capitalised as at 30 June
2015 is $31,565 (2014: $1,232,870).

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in
dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the
Company in proportion to the number of and amounts paid
on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no
par value and the Company does not have a limited amount
of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting
in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll
each share shall have one vote.
Capital risk management
The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital
are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern,
so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits
for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital.
note 25. equity – reserves
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the
consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends
paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue
new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when
an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen
as value adding relative to the current parent entity’s share
price at the time of the investment.
The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing
arrangements and meeting these is given priority in all
capital risk management decisions. There have been no
events of default on the financing arrangements during
the financial year.
The capital risk management policy remains unchanged
from the 2014 Annual Report.

previous financial year. The consolidated entity’s dividend
policy is unchanged from that set out in the prospectus
dated 13 December 2012, which stated: The Company
intends to pay dividends to Shareholders in the future
subject to the availability of sufficient profits and franking
credits and subject to the Company’s then current working
capital requirements and growth plans. Shareholders should
note that the payment of dividends is not guaranteed.
note 29. financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety
of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The consolidated entity’s overall risk management program
focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial
performance of the consolidated entity. The consolidated
entity uses different methods to measure different types of
risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and
other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Directors (‘the Board’). These policies include identification
and analysis of the risk exposure of the consolidated
entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits.
Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks
within the consolidated entity’s operating units. Finance
reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such
as interest rate and foreign exchange rate, will affect the
consolidated entity’s income.
Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign exchange
fluctuations in relation to cash generated for working capital
purposes, denominated in foreign currencies and net
investments in foreign operations, namely Vietnam and Malaysia.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial
transactions and recognised financial assets and financial
liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s
functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity
analysis and cash flow forecasting. An assessment of the
sensitivity of the consolidated entity’s exposure to interest
rate movements was performed, and was found to be
immaterial for the purposes of this disclosure.
Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved
policy parameters and material movements are not expected.
The consolidated entity does not enter into any forward
exchange contracts to buy or sell specified foreign currencies.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives
(‘finance’) under policies approved by the Board of

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown
in ‘liquidity risk management’ below.
An assessment of the sensitivity of the consolidated entity’s
exposure to interest rate movements was performed, and was
found to be immaterial for the purposes of this disclosure.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default
on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code
of credit, including obtaining agency credit information,
confirming references and setting appropriate credit
limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where
appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure
to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial
assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement
of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
The consolidated entity does not hold any collateral.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated
entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and
cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be
able to pay debts as and when they become due and
payable.
The consolidated entity maintains cash to meet all its
liquidity requirements and manages its liquidity by carefully
monitoring cash outflows due in a day-to-day and week-
to-week basis. Furthermore, the consolidated entity’s
long-term liquidity needs are identified in its annual Board
approved budget, and updated on a quarterly basis
through revised forecasts.

Subject to the continuance of satisfactory credit ratings, the bank loan facilities may be drawn at any time and have
an average maturity of five years (2014: six years).
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s
remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities.
The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted
cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date
on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid.
The tables include both interest and principal cash flows
disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore
these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the
statement of financial position.

note 36. events after the reporting period
The ultimate parent company, Donaco International
Limited (DNA), entered into a share sale agreement on
23 January 2015, supplemental share sale agreement
on 22 May 2015, and amending and restating deed on
18 June 2015 (the ‘Sale and Purchase Agreements’) with
independent third parties for the acquisition of the 100%
equity interests in DNA Star Vegas Co., Ltd (‘DNA Star’) for
a consideration of USD360 million. DNA Star is principally
engaged in operation of a casino business in Cambodia. The
consideration to be paid by DNA to the vendor was made by:
1. Deposit of USD5 million within 14 days of execution
of the share sale agreement, which occurred in FY15.
2. USD135 million to be paid on completion date
of acquisition.
3. USD120 million by issuing consideration shares in DNA
on the completion date of acquisition.
4. USD100 million to be paid to an account or held
in escrow in favour of the vendor.
According to the nomination letter signed on 22 June
2015, DNA nominated its wholly-owned subsidiary, Donaco
Hong Kong Limited (‘DHK’), to be the registered owner of
DNA Star and vested unto DHK all of the rights, titles and
interest in DNA Star under and/or pursuant to the Sale and
Purchase Agreement.
The acquisition was completed on 1 July 2015. Consequent
on the completion of the acquisition, applicable legal and
consultancy fees of $10,444,225 were expensed and paid in
the month of July 2015. As part payment for the acquisition,
a term loan of USD100 million from Mega International
Commercial Bank Co, Ltd of Taiwan was drawn down on
1 July 2015, and the proceeds paid to the vendor.
Pursuant to a detailed valuation report and purchase price
allocation report dated 22 January 2015 prepared by Colliers
International Hong Kong Limited and its related party,
Colliers International Thailand, the fair value of the business
acquired by DNA was USD411.2 million. Since the price
paid was USD360 million, this valuation would require the
acquisition to be treated as a bargain purchase, which would
require the excess of USD51.2 million to be recorded as a
positive income amount in the Company’s income statement.
However the directors have decided to take a more
conservative approach to the valuation, and will continue
to evaluate the business and the assets acquired in more
detail over the next 12 months, before deciding whether
to treat the acquisition as a bargain purchase.
As a result of the successful acquisition of the Star Vegas
Resort & Club on 1 July 2015, the FY15 statutory results
relate only to the Company’s pre-existing business, the
Aristo International Hotel in Vietnam. Based on unaudited
Star Vegas management accounts for FY15, the Aristo now
represents approximately 15% of the Company’s overall
business, in terms of net (reported) revenue.
Unaudited management accounts for FY15 show that
the Star Vegas achieved actual net revenue of $92.66
million, and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortisation (EBITDA) of $70.22 million, with net profit
after tax (NPAT) of $65.4 million. Normalised results show
revenue of $100.82 million, EBITDA of $78.39 million, and
NPAT of $73.56 million.
In order to provide working capital for the consolidated
entity, a term loan facility in the amount of USD20 million
from OL Master Limited was drawn down on 7 July 2015.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June
2015 that has significantly affected, or may significantly
affect, the consolidated entity’s operations, the results of
those operations or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs
in future financial years.
With the expansion of our business, we have also
expanded the capabilities of our senior management team.

Employee Option Allocation FY14
At the Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2013,
shareholders approved the establishment of a long-term
incentive (LTI) plan for executives, consisting of the annual
grant of units under an option share trust (OST). On 23
December 2013, the Company announced that it had
issued options amounting to 1% of its then issued capital
(a total of 4,010,511 options) under the LTI plan. Approval
for the issue of these options under an employee incentive
scheme was obtained pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
These options were not contributed to the OST until 1 July
2014. Accordingly employees were not allocated units
in the OST until 1 July 2014.
Employee Option Allocation FY15
Pursuant to the approval granted by shareholders at
the FY13 Annual General Meeting, further options were
contributed to the OST for FY15. These options were not
contributed to the OST until 1 July 2015, and accordingly
employees were not allocated additional units in the OST
(apart from those outlined below) until 1 July 2015.
Set out below are summaries of options granted during
FY15 under the plan:

independent auditor’s report to the members
of donaco international limited
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DONACO
INTERNATIONAL LIMTIED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of Donaco International Limited (the
Company) on pages 26 to 72, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30
June 2015, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement
of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information,
and the directors’ declaration of the company and the consolidated entity comprising the
company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the
financial year.
Directorsʼ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report
that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view
and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the
directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of
Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards.
Auditorʼs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards
require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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
judgment, 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 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.
