What are drilling fluids?

Drilling fluids, or muds, as they are known in the drilling 
industry are a key part of the drilling process to ensure 
productivity and successful completion of the hole in 
some of the most difficult ground conditions. Imdex 
offers a broad range of drilling fluids, all with distinctive 
properties and uses, adapted to specific formations. 
Their principal application is to clean, cool and lubricate 
the drill bit, return chips of rock known as cuttings to 
the surface, and keep the borehole stabilised and open.

During the drilling process, a continuous circulation 
of drilling fluid is used. Fluid is typically pumped down 
the drill pipe, through the drill bit, and returns via the 
cavity between the drill pipe and borehole carrying the 
drill cuttings to the surface. Traditionally the fluid then 
circulates through a shale shaker or mud pits to remove 
the cuttings from the fluid for reuse. 

What is fluid recycling equipment?

AMC has developed drilling fluid recycling units that 
provide an economical and environmentally acceptable 
alternative to the conventional mud pits used in the 
drilling process. They reduce the environmental footprint 
of a drill site and reduce consumption of water.

What are down hole survey 
and core orientation instruments?

Reflex’s down hole survey and core orientation 
instrumentation are essential for efficient exploration and 
mine planning and provide accurate data on the path of 
the bore hole. A 2 degree variation at surface can lead to 
a 35 metre discrepancy at 1000 metres. Core orientation 
is the procedure of aligning (or marking) the orientation 
of a drill core sample in relation to its in situ position, 
prior to retrieval from the hole allowing geological 
structure to be defined for planning purposes. 

Fluid is pumped down the drill pipe lubricating the drill bit and 
returning cuttings to the surface.

Fluids stabilise and keep the bore hole open.

Market review

•  Record mining instrumentation rental fleet 
  numbers achieved 

•  Significantly improved trading activity in Africa, Asia Pacific,  

the Americas and Europe

•  Drilling activity continued to be robust in the four 
  major mining regions with the major drilling contractors 
estimating increased rig utilisation in the year ahead  
subject to no material deterioration in their markets

•  Strong commodity prices added to upward pressure 
  on the Australian dollar, a mixed blessing for our 

global business

•  Activity in the coal bed methane sector in Australia 

gathered momentum although was negatively impacted 

  by flooding during the year.

The resources ‘boom’ in Australia 
(and globally) and what’s driving it

Australia is one of the world’s major exporters of 
commodities such as nickel, iron ore, copper, coal and 
precious metals. Demand for these resources is largely 
due to the huge growth in industry and urbanisation in 
emerging countries such as China and India. Construction 
projects in these countries require enormous amounts 
of steel (from iron ore), copper for wiring and electricity, 
which is still mostly supplied by coal fired generators. As a 
result prices for commodities have been increasing and given 
the resource riches in Australia, it is in a prime position to 
benefit from this demand. A similar situation exists in the 
other major mining regions of the world giving rise to robust 
demand globally for the products and services provided by 
the Imdex Group. 

Prices for gold and other precious metals have also increased 
dramatically in recent years, known as safe-haven investments. 
Uncertainties in global share markets and concerns about 
sovereign debt levels have seen some countries stockpiling 
metals and minerals.

Chairman’s report

On behalf of Imdex Limited’s Board, 
welcome to our 2011 Annual Report. I am 
pleased to report that the year to 30 June 
2011 was an exceptionally positive one 
for Imdex with record revenue and profit 
performance and the achievement of key 
operational milestones. 

Our revenue improved sharply during the 12 months to 
30 June 2011 to set a new record at $205.2 million. This 
was 53% higher than FY10 revenue of $134.3 million. A 
similar theme was experienced with earnings before interest, 
taxation and amortisation (EBITA) setting a new record at 
$48.1 million for the year which was 132% higher than the 
$20.7 million achieved in FY10. These results are a fitting 
reward for the expertise and commitment displayed by our 
staff and management and the consistent delivery of quality 
products and services to our global customers.

In line with the Board’s commitment to pay a growing 
dividend stream while balancing the capital needs of the 
business during this exciting growth phase, the Directors 
were delighted to announce a 2.75 cents per share fully 
franked final dividend. This is in addition to the 1.75 cents 
per share fully franked interim dividend paid in March 2011. 

Looking back on the past year, 
significant momentum has been 
built and our achievements have 
consolidated our place as a major 
player in our key markets.

Chairman’s report continued

Realising our potential

The current financial year allowed the Imdex Group to reap 
the financial benefit of much work undertaken during the 
global financial crisis. 

Financial benefits have been gained by Imdex continuing to 
adhere to its proven strategy of being committed to:

•  Growing its global business (organically and 

through acquisition)

•  Expanding into new markets

•  Maintaining product leadership through investment 

in research and product development

• 

Increasing rental based revenue

•  Achieving operational efficiencies.

Imdex’s decision to implement a regional structure dividing 
its minerals business into four operational regions, Africa, 
Asia Pacific, the Americas and Europe, yielded significant 
market share growth in FY11, particularly in the Americas 
and Africa. We expect this strategy to continue to yield 
further gains in market share across all regions in FY12 and 
beyond as cross selling opportunities are further unlocked.

Our ongoing research and product development spending 
saw the continued global uptake of new and improved down 
hole instrumentation which was a significant driver behind 
the increase in the size of the rental instrumentation fleet 
in FY11. By 30 June 2011, Reflex’s mining rental fleet had 
exceeded the previous high point in July 2008 by 79% and we 
expect new record levels to be achieved in FY12. This is very 
pleasing for our Company as we have remained focussed on 
renting rather than selling instrumentation.

Acquisitions drive growth

Outlook

Consistent with our strategy to grow Imdex’s core business 
through complementary and strategic acquisitions, Imdex 
acquired new businesses during the year. 

The acquisition of Fluidstar based in Brisbane, Queensland, 
Australia increased our fluids business in the Australian east 
coast market and the Asia Pacific region and further built our 
business in the expanding Coal Bed Methane industry.

Recent volatility in global financial markets has highlighted 
the uncertainties and concerns that exist in relation to 
European and US government debt levels and the slow 
recovery of the US economy. However, the outlook for 
our key target markets appears strong given the resilience 
of global commodity prices and continued focus on 
exploration by minerals and energy companies.

The acquisition of Mud-Data in Germany and Romania, 
allows Imdex to grow its oil and gas fluids footprint in 
Europe with further potential to enter the growing 
geothermal market. 

Imdex plans to continue to pursue further local and 
international bolt on acquisitions where synergies 
and market growth opportunities exist.
Leading edge technology recognised
Looking back on the past year, significant momentum has 
been building and our achievements have consolidated our 
place as a major player in our key markets. We have worked 
closely with our existing and potential customers, to ensure 
we meet or exceed their needs in the regions and develop 
products to enhance their future growth. 

Significant achievements continue to be made in the 
development of Imdex’s range of down hole survey 
instrumentation for application in our markets (see 
pages 20-21 for further information). Imdex’s 
instrumentation continues to be acknowledged by the 
industry as being leading edge and was recognised as 
a finalist in the C.Y. O’Connor Award for Excellence 
in Engineering and Technology. 

Our technology even made headlines helping to save 
lives in Chile during the mine rescue in August 2010. 
My sincere thanks to Kelvin Brown and all staff involved 
for their quick response to this crisis. 

The mineral exploration market is buoyant with strong 
commodity prices maintained even during the recent period 
of volatility in global financial markets. Major, intermediate 
and junior mining companies have increased budgets and 
are spending on exploration projects. McKinsey / Metals 
Economics Group predicts a 70% increase in global drilling 
activity in the 2010 – 2013 period with exploration spending 
set to exceed and be sustained above previous record levels.  
This is confirmed by our major customers who expect 
drill rig utilisation levels to move towards full utilisation 
levels in calendar 2011.

The oil and gas market remains strong as global demand for 
these commodities continues to grow. The dearth of new 
world class discoveries drives exploration into more and 
more challenging environments where Imdex’s expertise 
and technology are well positioned to assist.

Since 1 July 2011 three new growth initiatives came into 
operation. The first is the oil and gas services joint venture 
with DHSO Services. This is expected to generate significant 
upside in future years as the advanced technology of the 
Imdex Group is combined with the customer network 
and industry expertise of DHSO Services. The second is 
the acquisition of Australian Drilling Specialities (ADS), an 
AMC dedicated drilling fluids manufacturer in Australia.  
This acquisition allows improved synergies and ownership 
of fluids technology and intellectual property. The third is the 
proposed acquisition of System Mud (Brazil) which provides 
Imdex access to the growing Brazilian minerals market and 
the ability to better serve our global customers.

10

Chairman’s report continued

Key growth drivers for FY12 and beyond for the 
Imdex Group will be:

•  Oil and Gas DHSO Services joint venture operating 
  out of Dubai

•  Growth in mud recycling technology rentals / sales business

•  Organic growth in all regions, particularly 
  underpenetrated markets in Africa and the Americas

•  Growth of Mud-Data, renamed AMC Oil & Gas Europe

• 

Integration of ADS as dedicated fluids manufacturer 
for Australia and flow on effects to our global drilling 

Oilfield rig.

  fluids manufacturing

•  Further bolt on acquisitions. 

I am confident that the Imdex Group will continue to benefit 
from the work done in the past few years to grow our 
research and product development capability, maintain our 
technology leadership position, retain our commitment to 
customers and grow our international footprint. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and employees, I would 
like to offer my sincerest thanks to our valued customers, 
shareholders, staff and management for your ongoing support 
and hope you will continue to be part of Imdex’s exciting future.
I am confident that the Imdex Group will continue to benefit from 
the work done in the past few years to grow our research and 
product development capability, maintain our technology leadership 
position, retain our commitment to customers and grow our 
international footprint.

Managing director’s report

I am delighted with the achievements 
we have made this financial year. We have 
delivered strong revenue and earnings, 
increased market share in all key regions, 
record Reflex instrumentation rental levels, 
and a number of operational highlights, 
including strategic acquisitions and 
continuing development of our products for 
the minerals and oil and gas industries. In a 
nutshell, the financial year to 30 June 2011 
was record breaking for our business on a 
number of fronts.

Having identified significant opportunities for market 
penetration for both our drilling fluids and down hole 
instrumentation products, we deployed regional managers 
to ensure operational efficiencies, a high level of support 
for global customers, and the realisation of opportunities 
to gain market share. This strategy has yielded, and continues 
to yield, excellent results across all major mining regions of 
Africa, Asia Pacific, the Americas and Europe.

Drilling contractors continue to report strong demand from 
the major, intermediate and junior mining companies and 
global rig utilisation rates are also well up at approximately 
75-80%, due mainly to robust commodity prices and 
increased liquidity.

Imdex has a long and successful history of growth, both 
organically and through acquisitions. We have integrated 
several strategic acquisitions into the Group over the past 
six years. In FY11, the acquisitions of Fluidstar and Mud-Data 
have been complementary to existing operations, and have 
integrated smoothly into our Group (discussed in more 
detail on page 22). In addition, towards the close of FY11, 
we announced the acquisition of Australian Drilling Specialities 
(ADS) effective 1 July 2011. ADS is a dedicated manufacturer 
of drilling fluids and chemicals for AMC and owns proprietary 
PHPA (Polymer) technology which AMC intends to expand 
further in strategic overseas locations.

Mr. Bernard Ridgeway B.Bus (ACCTG) ACA 
Managing Director

Managing director’s report continued

Exciting aspects of the business are our technologies and 
product development which continue to position us as a 
leader in both drilling fluids and down hole instrumentation. 
This requires tremendous effort and dedication from our 
employees in order to produce leading products using 
innovation and expertise for global application.

Best ever results

The highlights of our financial performance for the full 
2011 year were:

•  Record revenue (excluding interest revenue), up 53% 

to $205.2 million (FY10: $134.3 million)

•  Record normalised EBITA up 132% to $48.1 million 

(FY10: $20.7 million)

•  Record normalised net profit after tax from continuing 
  operations, up 196% to $29.0 million (FY10: $9.8 million)

•  Dividend reinstated with the payment of a 1.75 cents per 
share fully franked interim FY11 dividend and declaration 
  of a 2.75 cents per share fully franked final FY11 dividend

•  Exceptional growth in cash flow from operations to 
  $35.9 million, an increase of 530% (FY10: $5.7 million)

•  Strong balance sheet with gearing (net debt/capital) 
reducing to 13.4% (30 June 2010: 19.6%) even after 
the acquisitions of Fluidstar and Mud-Data

•  Net assets up 33% to $125.4 million (FY10: $94.5 million).

Having identified significant 
opportunities for market 
penetration for both our 
drilling fluids and down hole 
instrumentation products, 
we deployed regional 
managers to ensure operational 
efficiencies, a high level of 
support for global customers, 
and the realisation of 
opportunities to gain market 
share. This strategy has yielded, 
and continues to yield, excellent 
results across all major mining 
regions of Africa, Asia Pacific, 
the Americas and Europe.

Divisional performance

Minerals division

In FY11, the minerals division achieved record revenues up 
60% to $177. 7 million, representing 87% of the Company’s 
total revenue for the year. 

Key operational highlights

•  Reflex instrumentation rental fleet has increased by 337% 
since the April 2009 low to record levels at the end of 
June 2011 due to additional drill rig utilisation and growing 

  market share globally (as shown on the graph below)

•  Strong performance across all regions, with record sales 

in Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Africa and parts of Asia Pacific 
for AMC

•  The regional structure has had a significant impact on the 
  business globally, particularly in facilitating product cross 
selling, operational efficiencies, greater local support for 
customers, and increasing market share

•  Generated the first AMC sales out of Europe during the year

•  Record revenue generated given strong demand for 
  Reflex’s rental instruments in Africa, Asia Pacific,  

the Americas and Europe

•  Reflex continued its active product development and 

technology improvements

•  Continued development of Imdex’s innovative drilling 
  fluid recycling technology (previously known as the solids 

control units) to be marketed in the major mining  

  markets around the world

•  Overall winner in the Innovator of the Year Awards in the 
  Western Australian Chamber of Commerce’s Industry 

and Export Awards held on 4 November 2010

•  Demand continues to grow for Reflex’s newly launched 
  MEMS gyro down hole survey instrument within the 

global mining and mineral exploration market.

Oil & Gas division

Platform for growth

Oil & Gas division revenue was up 19% to $27.5 million, 
representing 13% of the Company’s total revenue for 
the year.

The oil and gas sector has significant growth potential and 
is a logical diversification from the cyclical minerals industry. 
Imdex has exciting growth opportunities in the oil and gas 
sector through an oilfield services joint venture (DHSO) 
and the acquisition of Mud-Data (as outlined on page 22).

The Queensland and central Australia floods had a negative 
effect on sales of our conventional oil and gas drilling fluids 
and coal bed methane fluid products during the second 
half of FY11.

Key operational highlights

•  AMC Oil & Gas brand continues to grow in niche 

South East Asian markets and onshore Australia and PNG

•  Further demand in niche markets for production and 
completion chemicals developed and produced by 
 Wildcat Chemicals Australia, a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Imdex

•  Continued investment in engineering and product  
  development to maintain an active technology pipeline

•  As announced to the ASX on 22 March 2011, Imdex 
completed the acquisition of Mud-Data, a drilling 
  fluids and equipment supplier to the oil and gas and 
geothermal markets in Germany and key parts of 
  Europe, a market with attractive growth opportunities 

•  Completed a joint venture agreement with DHSO 
Services allowing Imdex to penetrate the global oil 
and gas down hole survey services markets, effective 
  1 July 2011. Details of the joint venture are outlined 

in the Investors section of our website.

As we look toward the new financial year, our focus will 
be in six key areas:

•  Expanding our capabilities and presence in the 
  oil and gas and geothermal markets in Germany 

and the rest of Europe

•  Developing organic initiatives, particularly the fluids 
recycling technology for delivery to major mining 

  markets around the world

•  Continuing to invest in research and product 
  development to extend our product offering 
and maintain technology market leadership

•  Expanding the DHSO oil and gas services joint 

venture globally

•  Continuing to grow market share in under-penetrated 
  minerals markets globally

• 

Integrating the bolt on acquisitions of ADS 
and System Mud.

Trading conditions globally are conducive to growing our 
business and Imdex is well positioned to respond to the 
growing needs of the sectors in which we specialise. 

Subject to there being no material deterioration in our 
end markets, Imdex’s sound fundamentals and balance 
sheet, comfortable liquidity position and low gearing, global 
footprint, leading brands and technologies, and strong 
customer relationships, place the Company in a strong 
position to accelerate future growth. We look forward 
to partnering with our customers to ensure our mutual 
success in FY12 and beyond.

I wish to congratulate everyone, particularly our 
hardworking, dedicated and loyal staff, who contributed to 
our record results, recent awards success and our growing 
number of loyal customers. We remain focused on seizing 
new opportunities and growing our business for the benefit 
of all customers and shareholders.

Experts in the field

From 1 July 2010, Imdex’s new regional operating structure 
for the Minerals division came into effect. This divided the 
business into four operational regions – Africa, Asia Pacific, 
the Americas and Europe. Many of our customers in the 
fluids and down hole instrumentation sectors are common 
so the change has allowed Imdex to facilitate important cross 
selling opportunities. There are significant opportunities for 
market penetration for our drilling fluids and down hole 
instrumentation products, particularly in Africa, the Americas 
and Europe where benefits have emerged from the shift to 
greater local representation of technical expertise in these 
sometimes challenging environments. 

The drilling fluids product development laboratory in 
Osborne Park, Western Australia is adding value with 
specialised analytical equipment to test and develop drilling 
fluids used in oil and gas, mining, water well and specialised 
drilling sectors. The ability to offer these services gives Imdex 
a significant competitive advantage within the drilling fluids 
market, in particular. 

During the year, Reflex published a professional reference 
guide to drilling, titled A guide to borehole deviation and 
surveying. The essential guide contains 40 pages of detailed 
instructions with accompanying visual diagrams on managing 
every aspect of drilling, including surveying techniques, 
measuring principles and interpreting survey data. The 
guide is aimed at all professionals involved in drilling, 
including drillers, geologists and down hole surveyors. 
The guide is also being provided to tertiary students 
intent on entering the workforce to supplement their 
theoretical and practical understanding of drilling 
and instrumentation. 

AMC’s popular drilling fluid training continued during 
the year to educate our customers and staff on various 
aspects in the optimum use of AMC’s drilling fluids. 

The training is designed to address specific customer 
requirements and provide a unique hands-on opportunity to 
work with AMC drilling fluids and equipment. The schools 
are an integral part of the superior level of service and 
training accessible to our customers worldwide.

Over the past two years, we have centralised our 
manufacturing facilities for the down hole instrumentation 
used in the mining and exploration sectors. This was to 
enhance operational efficiencies, generate cost saving 
benefits, and allow greater control over the manufacturing 
and research and product development functions. The first 
of these activities relocated Reflex’s manufacturing facility at 
Imdex Technology in the United Kingdom to Osborne Park, 
Western Australia. The repair and production facility at Imdex 
Technology, Sweden was successfully transferred to Imdex’s 
premises in Osborne Park, Western Australia at the end of 
September 2010. Imdex upgraded its Osborne Park premises 
into a dedicated facility for ongoing research, product 
development and future growth.

The operations of AMC in the European region were 
strengthened during the year with the relocation of an 
experienced AMC Sales Manager to Europe to establish 
AMC’s drilling fluids division in Europe. Customers in the 
European region (including Ireland, Turkey, Kazakhstan and 
Kyrgyzstan) were previously supported from Australia and 
Canada but will now be supported directly from Europe.

There are significant opportunities 
for market penetration for both 
our drilling fluids and down hole 
instrumentation products

Award winning products

Imdex subsidiaries, Reflex and AMC, were both nominated 
as finalists in the Western Australian (WA) Industry and 
Export Awards. 

The awards, described by the Western Australian Chamber 
of Commerce as WA’s most prestigious, acknowledge 
the importance of WA businesses and the contributions 
they make to the local economy. The awards cover various 
industry and export categories and recognise the innovation 
and hard work of business, both large and small. 

AMC was the winner of 2010 WA Innovator of the Year 
award for its unique SCU design. This award is made for 
outstanding achievement or excellence in developing 
an innovative commercial product, process, service 
or technology. 

Reflex was selected as a finalist for the C.Y. O’Connor 
Award for Excellence in Engineering and Technology 
category. The C.Y. O’Connor Award is awarded for 
excellence in engineering, technology, medical technology, 
information technology and/or technical research and 
development. Reflex was selected for its design and 
development of the Reflex ACT II Rapid Descent core 
orientation instrument. Key benefits of this instrument 
are speed, accuracy and ease of use making it the 
industry wide preferred tool for core orientation.

Since introducing the concept of our Solids Control Unit 
(SCU) (MK1) in 2009 to the diamond drilling industry, the 
process of commercialisation continued with positive results 
from several field trials conducted in Western Australia in 
2H11. The unique design of the unit is being developed to 
conserve water, contain used drilling fluids and enable the 
responsible disposal of solids and reduce the digging of mud 
pits. The unit will initially be rolled out in the Asia Pacific 
market and will move to the other major mining markets 
of Africa, Canada and Latin America in 2H12.

A recent successful field trial involved access to a restricted 
area of national park in northwest Australia. Previously off 
limits to exploration drilling, crews had not been permitted 
to operate in this highly sensitive area. With the contained 
drilling fluid system, drillers were given permission to enter 
the area and drilling operations were successfully conducted. 

AMC was the winner of 2010 
WA Innovator of the Year award 
for its unique SCU design. This 
award is made for outstanding 
achievement or excellence 
in developing an innovative 
commercial product, process, 
service or technology.

Organic and acquisition growth

Refl ex to the rescue

Imdex has enjoyed a consistently successful history of 
acquisitions to increase its global presence, product offerings 
and expertise. FY11 was no exception.

Imdex was proud to play a role in the successful rescue 
mission of 33 miners who became trapped at the San Jose 
underground mine in Northern Chile on 5 August 2010.

The acquisition of Fluidstar became effective 1 September 
2010, and its specialist products were integrated with AMC’s 
range of drilling fl uids. The business is now benefi ting from 
a combined sales team and an expanded sales presence in 
South East Asia.

The acquisition of the European based Mud-Data was 
effective 1 March 2011. This provides a base for Imdex to 
effectively penetrate the oil and gas and geothermal drilling 
fl uids markets in Europe, with considerable potential for 
market growth in Germany and Romania. It will
deliver an expanded product range, excellent capabilities
and enhanced exposure to these industries across Europe.

The acquisition was funded from existing cash resources. 
Whilst Mud-Data did not contribute to profi ts in FY11, the 
business is well placed to generate signifi cant revenue and 
profi ts in FY12 and future periods. 

Imdex has enjoyed a consistently 
successful history of acquisitions 
to increase its global presence, 
product offerings and expertise. 
FY11 was no exception.

Refl ex’s Global Product Manager, Kelvin Brown, assisted with 
the planning and design of the drill hole which successfully 
intercepted the refuge chamber in which the miners were 
trapped, some 700 metres below the surface.

Mr. Kelvin Brown was fl own to Chile to help direct the 
drilling and was on site working with the rescue team
when it fi rst made contact with the miners on 22 August, 
2010. Refl ex’s EZ-Trac survey instrument, renowned for
its superior accuracy and speed, was utilised to survey
the communications bore hole and orientate the
HX Navimotors.

In addition, AMC drilling fl uid was also used to increase 
drilling effectiveness through the hard rock formations. 
The product is a unique high performance extreme 
pressure lubricant and cutting oil, with excellent lubricating 
characteristics that improve drilling penetration rates and 
reduce wear to drilling equipment.

Since returning, Kelvin has presented on behalf of Refl ex at 
various forums to share the experience and learnings with 
industry professionals. and has been awarded the WA Spatial 
Excellence award for his role in the rescue.

As a result of Kelvin’s efforts, Refl ex has been selected as a

Managing risk

Corporate governance

Risk management framework

Imdex’s Board of Directors has delegated the oversight of 
risk management to the Audit and Compliance Committee 
(ACC). The ACC monitors the Group’s obligations in 
relation to financial reporting, internal control structure, 
risk management systems and the internal and external 
audit functions.

The ACC is supported by an Internal Audit and Risk 
Management function which regularly conducts reviews 
and location based internal audits and risk reviews.

Imdex has a strong and 
stable management team with 
extensive technical and product 
knowledge together with 
unrivalled hands-on experience. 
With regional managers based 
in Africa, Asia Pacific, the 
Americas and Europe, we can 
offer on-site technical support 
to our customers worldwide.

Imdex operates within a risk management framework that 
provides an over-arching and consistent mechanism for the 
assessment and management of risks. Risks are ranked using 
a common methodology. Where a risk is assessed as material, 
it is reported and reviewed by senior management.

Imdex’s risk management framework incorporates 
the following factors:

•  Consideration of other ASX listed risk frameworks

•  Consultation with Senior Management in identifying 
  business risk areas

•  Consideration of the Imdex Quality Assurance 

risk assessment system to ensure that the same risk 
language is used across both operational and commercial  
environments within the Company

•  A review of all internal and external audit management  

letters and audit reports

•  Development of a central risk register to record and 
assess risks, evaluate existing controls and record risk 

  mitigation strategies to reduce risk exposure

• 

Identification of risk areas where additional work is 
required by Internal Audit and/or the business itself 
to reduce exposure of the business to risks.

The principal aim of the Group’s risk management 
governance structure and system of internal control is to 
manage business risks, with a view to enhancing the value 
of shareholders’ investments and safeguarding assets.

Management has put in place a number of key policies, 
processes and independent controls to provide assurance to 
the Board and the ACC as to the integrity of the Company’s 
reporting and effectiveness of its systems of internal control 
and risk management.

Remuneration Report 

Remuneration policy for Directors and Executives 

Non Executive Directors 

The  Board seeks  the  approval  of Shareholders in relation  to the  aggregate  of Non Executive Directors‟ remuneration  and  any  options 
and performance rights that may be granted to Directors. The remuneration for Non Executive Directors is reviewed from time to time, 
with due regard to current market rates. The cash remuneration of Non Executive Directors is not linked to the Company‟s performance
in order to preserve independence. Other than statutory superannuation, no Non Executive Director is entitled to any additional benefits 
on retirement from the Company.  

Management of the Company believes that in order to retain quality Non Executive Directors on the Board, some incentive to maintain 
their future involvement, commitment  and  loyalty to the Company is required  on certain  occasions  over  and  above  nomin al Directors' 
fees. No Director received a payment during the current or prior years as consideration for agreeing to hold the relevant position.  

The  maximum  total  remuneration  payable  to  Non  Executive  Directors  was  approved  by  Shareholders  at  the  2006  Annual  General 
Meeting  and  is currently  $500,000. In the current  year  remuneration to Non Executive  Directors totalled $374,300,  including statutory 
superannuation. The Board determines the apportionment of directors‟ fees between each Director.

Managing Director 

The Managing Director‟s remuneration is determined by the Remuneration Committee with due regard to current market rates.  

The  Managing  Director  has  a  short  term  incentive  bonus  amounting  to  28%  of  his  base  remuneration  package.  Each  year  the 
Remuneration  Committee  sets  key  performance  indicators  (KPIs)  for  the  Managing  Director  to  earn  this  short  term  incentive  bonus.
These KPIs typically include financial, strategic and risk based measures. The Remuneration Committee set these performance hurdles 
as they are significant profit and cash flow drivers which are  linked to Imdex‟s increased growth and profitability and hence shareholder 
value.  Performance  is  measured  relative  to  budget  and  forecast  results  as  these  are  the  most  accurate  measures  available  against 
which to assess the achievement of set hurdles. The balance of his cash compensation package for the current year is not linked to the 
Group‟s performance.  

From  time  to  time  options  or  performance  rights  may  be  issued  to  the  Managing  Director  as  a  long  term  performance  incentive.  The 
portion  of  the  Managing  Director‟s  compensation  package  that  comprises  options  or  performance  rights  is  linked  to  the  Company‟s 
performance. The number  of  options  or performance rights  granted  are  determined  with regard to current  market trends.  The issue  of 
any such options or performance rights requires the approval of Shareholders in General Meeting. 

The Managing Director is employed under a permanent contract that provides for a 12 month termination period.  No additional benefits 
above those already entitled to will become payable on termination. 

Executives and Staff 

All Executives and staff of the Company are subject to a formal annual performance review. The remuneration of Executives comprises 
a  fixed  monetary  total,  which  is  not  linked  to  the  performance  of  the  Company,  although  bonuses  related  to  the  performance  of  the 
Company  may  be  agreed  between  that  Executive  and  the  Company  from  time  to  time.  The  base  component  of  Executive  salaries  is 
benchmarked  against  current  market  trends  and  is  not  linked  to  Company  performance  as  it  serves  to  attract  and  retain  suitably 
qualified  and  experienced  staff.  Performance  incentives  that  are  linked  to  Company  performance  are  used  to  reward  Executives  for 
exceptional performance that benefits the Company and Shareholders.  

Each  year  the  Remuneration  Committee  sets  the  KPIs  for  each  key  management  person.  These  KPIs  typically  include  people, 
customer, system, financial, strategic  and risk  based measures. The Remuneration Committee set these performance hurdles  as they 
are significant profit and cash flow drivers which are linked to Imdex‟s increased growth and profitability and hence shareholder value. 
Performance is measured relative to budget  and forecast results  as these  are  the  most  accurate  measures  available  against  which  to 
assess the achievement of set hurdles.  No bonus is awarded where hurdles are not met. 

From time to time options  or performance rights may be issued to the Executives and staff as a long term performance incentive. The 
portion of remuneration package that comprises options  or performance rights is linked to the Company‟s performance. The number of 
options  or  performance  rights  granted  are  determined  with  regard  to  current  market  trends.  The  issue  of  any  such  options  or 
performance rights requires the approval of Shareholders in General Meeting.  

All Executives are employed under permanent contracts, none of which provide for any termination payments. Mr G E Weston‟s contract 
provides  a  12  month  notice  period  and  Mr  D  J  Loughlin‟s  and  Mr  P  A  Evans‟  contracts  provide  a 6  month  notice  period  and  Mr  M L
Quesnel‟s contract provided for  a  30  day notice  period. No  additional benefits  above those  already  entitled to  will become payable  on 
termination.

IMDEX LIMITED 
and its controlled entities 

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 

(i)  Mr  B  W  Ridgeway  is  a  party  to  a  service  contract  with  Imdex  Limited,  which  sets  out  a  fixed  compensation  package,  reviewable 
annually.  The  service  contract  specifies  a  twelve  month  notice  period  in  the  event  that  the  contract  is  terminated.  If  the  contract  is 
terminated  without  notice,  the  notice  period  will  become  payable  in  cash.  There  are  no  termination  benefits  specified  in  this  contract. 
Additional performance incentives may be agreed between Mr Ridgeway and Imdex Limited from time to time. The Managing Directo r‟s 
compensation is reviewed and determined annually by the Remuneration Committee.  

Mr Ridgeway earned a short term cash bonus of $140,000 in the current year.  This bonus was achieved for exceeding budgeted EBITA 
levels by more than a set percentage and for achieving one of three product development milestones. An additional $40,000 could have 
been  earned  by  Mr  Ridgeway  had  the  remaining  two  product  development  targets  and  one  cash  flow  related  target  been  met.  Mr 
Ridgeway earned a short term cash bonus of $10,000 in the prior year on the achievement of operational targets. 

No options were granted to Mr Ridgeway in the current year or in the prior year.  

The grant of 196,579 performance rights to Mr Ridgeway in the current year was approved by the shareholders at the Annual Gen eral 
Meeting  on  14  October  2010.  The  Managing  Director  is  subject  to  two  hurdles  each  with  equal  weighting.  The  first  is  that  the  Total 
Shareholder Return (TSR)  of Imdex  Limited must  exceed the  average TSR  of the ASX300 over the 3  year  measurement  period. The 
second is that the Earnings Per Share  of Imdex  Limited must  exceed  the  average  EPS  of the ASX300  over the 3  year  measurement 
period.  The  performance  hurdle  in  relation  to  these  performance  rights  will  be  measured  after  the  audit  sign  off  of  the  FY13  fin ancial 
statements  on  or  about  August  2013.  No  value  has  therefore  been  received  by  Mr  Ridgeway  in  the  current  year.  Refer  note  33 for 
further details.

The  grant  of  234,375  performance  rights  to  Mr  Ridgeway  in  the  prior  year  was  approved  by  the  shareholders  at  the  Annual  General 
Meeting on 15 October 2009. All of these performance rights expired in the prior year due to the FY10 EBITA performance hurdles not 
being met. No value was therefore received by Mr Ridgeway. Refer note 33 for further details. 

(ii) Mr G E Weston is party to a service contract with Imdex Limited, which sets out a fixed compensation package, reviewable annually. 
The  service  contract  stipulates  a  twelve  month  notice  period  in  the  event  that  the  contract  is  terminated.  There  are  no  termination 
benefits  specified  in  this  contract.  Performance  incentives  may  be  agreed  between  Mr  Weston  and  Imdex  Limited  from  time  to  time. 
Additionally, Mr Weston is party to a deed with Imdex Limited,  granting Mr Weston the right of first refusal  of Australian Mud Company 
Pty  Ltd,  a  100% held subsidiary  of Imdex  Limited,  in the  event that  an  offer is received by the  directors  of Imdex Limited  to  purchase 
100%  of  the  Imdex  Limited  shares  on  issue.  This  „right‟  lapses  automatically  should  Mr  Weston  no  longer  be  employed  by  Imdex 
Limited.

Mr  Weston  earned  a  short  term  cash  bonus  of  $178,500  on  achievement  of  specified  profitability  hurdles.  This  was  the  maximum 
possible bonus that Mr Weston could have earned. No short term cash bonus was earned in the prior year as the required hurdles were 
not met.  

No options were granted to Mr Weston in the current  or prior year. The options expense shown in the tables above includes a portion of 
the value of options granted in past years that has been spread over the three year vesting period. Refer note 32 for further details. 

Mr Weston  was  granted  120,897  performance  rights  in  the  current  period  under  the  Performance  Rights  Plan.  It  is  expected  that  the 
hurdles  applicable  to  all  of  these  performance  rights  will  be  achieved  in  the  current  year.  These  120,897  performance  rights  will  be 
settled via the issue of 120,897 fully paid ordinary shares in Imdex Limited in equal one third tranches annually on or about August each 
year  starting  in  August  2011  on  condition  that  Mr Weston  remains  employed  by  Imdex  Limited  at  that  time.  Refer  note  33  for  further 
details. 

Mr Weston  was  granted 136,009  performance  rights  in the prior period  under the  Performance Rights Plan. All  of these  performance 
rights  expired  in  the  prior  year  due  to  the  FY10  EBITA  performance  hurdles  not  being  met.  No  value  was  therefore  received  by  Mr 
Weston. Refer note 33 for further details. 

(iii)  Mr  D  J  Loughlin  is  a  party  to  a  service  contract  with  Imdex  Limited,  which  sets  out  a  fixed  compensation  package  reviewable 
annually. The service contract specifies a six month notice period in the event that the contract is terminated. There are no termination 
benefits specified in this contract. Additional performance incentives may be agreed between Mr Loughlin and I mdex Limited from time 
to time.  

Mr  Loughlin  earned  a  short  term  cash  bonus  of  $113,150  on  achievement  of  specified  profitability  hurdles.  This  was  the  maximum 
possible  bonus  that  Mr  Loughlin  could  have  earned.  No  short  term  cash  bonus  was  earned  in  the  prior  year  as  the  required  hurdles 
were not met.  

No options were granted to Mr Loughlin in the current or prior year. The options expense shown in the tables above includes a portion of 
the value of options granted in past years that has been spread over the three year vesting period. Refer note 32 for further details. 

Mr Loughlin  was  granted  125,587 performance rights in  the current  period under the Performance Rights Plan.  It is  expected  that the 
hurdles  applicable  to  all  of  these  performance  rights  will  be  achieved  in  the  current  year.  These  125,587  performance  rights  will  be 
settled via the issue of 125,587 fully paid ordinary shares in Imdex Limited in equal one third tranches annually on or about August each 
year starting  in August 2011  on condition that  Mr Loughlin remains employed by Imdex  Limited  at that  time. Refer  note 33 for further 
details. 

Mr  Loughlin  was  granted  93,493  performance  rights  in  the  prior  period  under  the  Performance  Rights  Plan.  All  of  these  performance 
rights  expired in the current  year  due to the  FY10 EBITA performance  hurdles not  being  met. No  value  was therefore received  by  Mr 
Loughlin. Refer note 33 for further details.

Value of performance rights granted to Directors and Senior Managers 

Performance  rights  are  granted  to  Senior  Managers  at  a  fixed  percentage  of  their  base  salaries  depending  on  seniority.  Percentages 
range from 7.5% to  25%. Each  performance right is to  be satisfied  by the  issue  of  one fully  paid Imdex  Limited  ordinary share for nil 
consideration should specified profitability targets be met. Shares issued in satisfaction of performance rights are done so in 1/3 lots on 
the anniversary date of the satisfaction of the specified hurdles should employment tenure be ongoing. The following table discloses the

Principal Activities 

The Group‟s principal continuing activities during the course of the financial year were manufacturing and sale  and rental of a range of 
drilling fluids and chemicals and down hole instrumentation. 

(j) 

Review of Operations 

During the current year the Imdex Group continued with its strategy to sell drilling fluids and chemicals as well as develop, rent and sell 
technologically advanced down hole instrumentation to the mining and oil and gas industries globally.

The Imdex Group  expanded  its European footprint  by purchasing Mud-Data GmbH,  a  mud business  with  a  presence in  Germany  and 
Romania. The competitive position in the Australian east coast market was also strengthened through the purchase of Brisbane based 
Fluidstar Pty Ltd and Ecospin Pty Ltd. 

These  acquisitions  occurred  against  the  global  backdrop  of  strong  commodity  prices,  high  drill  rig  utilisation  rates  and  incr easing 
exploration spending which assisted existing Imdex Group businesses to expand organically.  

The Imdex Group to earn revenue from continuing operations including interest  of $205.3 million (2010: $135.6 million) and profit after 
tax of $29.0 million (2010: loss $21.5 million). 

(k)  Dividends 

In  the  current  year  a  fully  franked  interim  dividend  of  1.75  cents  per  ordinary  share  was  paid  on  25  March  2011  to  shareholders 
registered on 11 March 2011. Since 30 June 2011 the Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of  2.75 cents per ordinary 
share, the financial effect of which has not been reflected in this Financial Report.  

In the prior year no dividends were declared or paid. 

(l) 

Changes in State Of Affairs 

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 

(m)  Subsequent Events 

Effective  1  July  2011  Imdex  Limited  was  allotted  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  DHS  Oil  Services  Limited  (DHSO)  in  exchange  for  the 
granting of an exclusive global technology license to use its oil and gas surveying instruments and technology. Following this allotment 
Imdex  Limited  holds  50%  of  the  issued  share  capital  of  DHSO.  DHSO  is  registered  in  the  British  Virgin  Islands  and  will  operate  an 
oilfield  services  business  based  in  Dubai  using  the  technology  licensed  to  it  by  Imdex  Limited.  Imdex  Limited  will  account  for  its 
investment  in  DHSO  as  an  associate  per  Australian  Accounting  Standard  128  “Investments  in  Associates”  since  it  holds  50%  of  t he
issued capital but only 2 out of 5 Board positions. Imdex Limited therefore has significant influence over DHSO but does not control or 
jointly control DHSO. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the acquisition accounting 
is still being finalised. 

Effective 1 July 2011 Imdex Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Australian Drilling Specialties Pty Ltd, a drilling fluids 
manufacturer  based  in  Kwinana,  Western  Australia.  The  consideration  of  $12  million  will  be  paid  $6  million  in  cash  and  $6  million  in 
Imdex shares valued at the 5 days volume weighted average price at completion. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition 
are impractical at this stage as the acquisition accounting is still being finalised. 

On  25  July  2011  Imdex  announced  that  it  had  entered  into  a  conditional  heads  of  agreement  to  purchase  100%  of  the  issued  share 
capital  of System Mud  Industria  e Comercio Ltda (System  Mud)  effective 1 August 2011. System  Mud is  a manufacturer  and seller  of 
drilling muds in Brazil. Imdex will pay approximately $9.0 million as follows: 

 

 

 

BRL 6.7 million (approximately $4.0 million) in cash at settlement; plus 

$3.8  million  by  the  issue  of  1,600,000  fully  paid  Imdex  Limited  ordinary  shares  at  an  issue  price  of  $2.40  per  share,  to  be 
escrowed for 12 months; plus 

$1.2 million by the issue of 330,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares at an issue price of $3.50 per share. If the share 
price  on the  two  year  anniversary  of the settlement date is below  $3.50  an  additional cash payment  arises  as the difference 
between the share price at that date and $3.50 multiplied by 330,000. In the event that the Imdex share price reaches $3.50 
at any time within the two year period, the potential cash top up falls away. 

Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the due diligence process is still underway. 

Subsequent to year end the Directors declared a 2.75 cent per share fully franked dividend with an entitlement date of 7 October 2011 
and a payment date of 21 October 2011. The effect of this dividend has not been reflected in this financial report. 

(n) 

Future Developments 

Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years and the expected results 
of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed in this 
report. 

(o)  Environmental Regulations 

The only entity in the Group that is subject to environmental regulations is Samchem Drilling Fluids and Chemicals (Pty) Ltd. They are 
required to comply with the South African National Water Act, Act No 36 of 1998 which requires the management of effluent dis charge. 
This is controlled through an effluent system. No known environmental breaches have occurred in relation to th e Group‟s operations. 

(p)  Non-audit services 

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 6 to 
the Financial Report. 

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the 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.

The  Directors  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  services  as  disclosed  in  note  6  to  the  financial  statements  do  not  compromise  the  external 
auditor‟s independence, based on advice received from the Audit and Compliance Committee, 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 Code of Conduct APES 
110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & 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. 

(q)  Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The auditor‟s independence declaration is included in the Annual Report immediately prior to the Audit Report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

ASX Governance Principles and ASX Recommendations 

The  Australian  Stock  Exchange  Corporate  Governance  Council  sets  out  best  practice  recommendations,  including  corporate 
governance practices and suggested disclosures. ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires companies to disclose the extent to which th ey have 
complied with the ASX recommendations and to give reasons for not following them.  

Unless  otherwise  indicated  the  best  practice  recommendations  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council,  including  corporate 
governance practices and suggested disclosures, have been adopted by the Company for the full year ended 30 June 2011. In addition, 
the  Company  has  a  Corporate  Governance  section  on  its  website:  www.imdexlimited.com (under  the  “Investors”  heading)  which 
includes the relevant documentation suggested by the ASX Recommendations. 

The extent to which Imdex has complied with the ASX Recommendations during the year ended 30 June 2011, and the main corporate 
governance practices in place are set out below. 

Principle 1: Lay solid foundation for management and oversight 

The Board has implemented a Board Charter that formalises the functions and responsibilities of the Board. The Charter is published on 
the Company‟s website. 

The performance  of Senior Executives  is measured  against prescribed criteria  as set  by the Remuneration Committee. These crit eria 
are set annually and individual performance is assessed annually. 

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value 

Imdex‟s Board structure is consistent with the ASX Recommendations on Principle 2, with the exception that it does not have a separate 
nomination committee for the reasons detailed below.   

(i) Board Structure 

The  Board  consists  of  a  Non  Executive  Chairman,  three  Non  Executive  Directors  and  one  Executive  Director.  Of  the  five  Board 
members, four are considered independent. 

In  accordance  with  the Company‟s Constitution the  minimum number  of Directors is  three. There  is no  maximum number,  although it 
would be expected that the optimal number of Directors would be five or six. 

The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this Statement are set out in the Directors‟ Report and further details 
concerning the skills, experience, expertise and term of office of each Director is set out in the Director‟s Profiles in the first section of 
the Annual Report. 

(ii) Board Independence 

Directors  are  expected  to bring  independent  judgement  to the  decision  making  of the Board.  To facilitate  this,  each Director has the 
right to seek independent legal advice at the Group‟s expense with the prior approval of the Chairman, which may not be unreasonably 
withheld. 

In assessing Director independence, materiality has been determined from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective.  An amount  
of over 5% of turnover is considered material.  Similarly, a transaction of any amount, or a relationship, is deemed material if knowledge 
of it impacts, or may impact, the Shareholders‟ understanding of the Director‟s performance. The Board has conducted a review  of each 
Director‟s independence and reports as follows:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

(iii) Board Nomination  

The Board does not have a separate nomination committee and, given the Company‟s size, does not intend to form such a committ ee.  
However, the composition of the Board is determined using the following principles: 

 

 
 

The Board should comprise a majority of independent, Non Executive Directors with a broad range of experience, skills and 
expertise; 
The Chairman of the Board should be an independent, Non Executive Director; and 
The roles of the Chairman and the Managing Director should not be exercised by the same individual. 

(iv) Procedure for the selection and appointment of new Directors to the Board 

The Company has published on its website, procedures for  the selection and appointment of new Directors to the Board. The Company 
also  has  terms  and  conditions  which  govern  the  appointment  of  Non  Executive  Directors.  These  are  subject  to  the  Company‟s 
Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001, and cover: appointment, retirement, Corporate Governance, remuneration, Board meetings, 
and Board Committees.   

The Board does not impose on Directors an arbitrary time limit on their tenure. Under the Company‟s Constitution and the ASX  Listing 
Rules however, each Director must retire by rotation within a three year period following their appointment.  In such cases, the Director‟s 
nomination for re-election should be based on performance and the needs of the Company. 

(v) Process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual Directors 

Board  performance  is  measured  primarily  by  means  of  monitoring  Group  profitability  and  share  price  performance  in  the  market.  
Individual Director performance is also measured by way of monitoring meeting attendance and individual contributions made at these 
meetings. 

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making 

(i) Code of Conduct 

The  Company  has  developed  a  Code  of  Conduct  that  applies  to  all  employees,  officers  and  Directors  of  the  Company.  T he  Code 
addresses matters relevant to the Company‟s legal and other obligations to its Shareholders and covers: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

the way in which duties must be discharged;
compliance with laws;  
conflicts of interest;  
confidentiality;  
insider trading;  
the use of the Company‟s resources and 
the environment, health and safety. 

The Code is published on the Company‟s website.

(ii) Share Trading Policy 

This policy imposes trading restrictions when dealing with Imdex securities, specifically limiting key management and employees of the 
Company or persons who have access to inside information relating directly or indirectly to the Company, from trading in  the Company's 
securities.  This  policy  aims  to  develop  a  culture  of  awareness  of  individual  responsibilities  under  insider  trading  laws  and  is  made 
available on the Company website.  

Employees generally may freely trade in Imdex securities, however, they are reminded that insider trading restrictions apply  to them.   

Additional  restrictions  on  dealing  in  the  Company‟s  securities  apply  to  those  persons  having  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning, 
directing  and  controlling  the  activities  of  the  Company,  directly  or  indirectly,  including  Directors  and  any  of  their  associates,  where 
considered  appropriate,  executives reporting directly to the  Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer  and  any  other  employees  of the 
Company  considered  appropriate  by  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Company  Secretary  from  time  to  time  (Key  Management 
Personnel). A list  of  all Key  Management Personnel  is maintained  by the Company  Secretary  who  ensures that  all Key  Management 
Personnel receive notification of this policy.

disclosures  about  credit  risk  and  collateral  held  and  provide  relief  from  disclosures 
previously required regarding renegotiated loans.

Disclosures in these financial statements  have been  modified to reflect the clarification  in 
AASB  2009-5  „Further  Amendments  to Australian  Accounting  Standards  arising  from  the 
Annual Improvements  Project‟  that  the  disclosure  requirements  in Standards  other  than 
AASB  5  do  not  generally  apply  to  noncurrent assets  classified  as  held  for  sale  and 
discontinued operations.

Amendments to AASB 101 „Presentation  of 
Financial Statements‟  (adopted  in advance 
of effective date of 1 January 2011)

The  amendments  (part  of  AASB  2010-4  „Further  Amendments  to Australian  Accounting 
Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project‟) clarify that an entity may choose 
to present  the  required  analysis  of  items  of  other comprehensive income  either  in  the 
statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.

Amendments  to  AASB  107 „Statement  of 
Cash Flows‟

The  amendments  (part  of  AASB  2009-5  „Further  Amendments  to Australian  Accounting 
Standards  arising  from  the  Annual Improvements  Project‟)  specify  that  only  expenditures 
that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position can be classified as 
investing activities in the statement of cash
flows.  Consequently,  cash  flows  in  respect  of  development  costs that  do  not  meet  the 
criteria in AASB 138 „Intangible Assets‟ for capitalisation as part of an internally generated 
intangible  asset (and,  therefore,  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  incurred)  have been 
reclassified from investing to operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

The  Company  and  the  Group  have  adopted  all  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian

AASB  2009-5:    Further  Amendments  to 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  arising 
from the Annual Improvements Process

AASB  2009-5 Further  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  arising  from  the 
Annual  Improvements  Project  specify  amendments  resulting  from  the  IASB‟s  annual 
improvement  project  to  various  Australian  accounting  standards  and  interpretations.  As 
permitted,  the  group  has  early  adopted  most  of  the  amendments  in  AASB 2009-5.
However, the amendments to AASB 117 Leases have not been early adopted. Adoption of 
these  amendments  will potentially result in the reclassification  of several leases  over land 
as finance leases. The amendments, which apply retrospectively to unexpired leases from 
1  July  2010,  remove  the  guidance  from  AASB  117  which  effectively  prohibited  the 
classification  of  leases  over  land  as  finance  leases.  It  is  not  practical  to  provide  a 
reasonable  estimate  of  the  impact  of  this  amendment  until  a  detailed  review  of  existing 
leases has been completed.

The application of AASB 2009-8 makes amendments to AASB 2 „Share-based Payment‟ to 
clarify the scope of AASB 2, as well as the accounting for group cash-settled share-based 
payment  transactions  in  the  separate  (or individual)  financial  statements  of  an  entity 
receiving  the  goods or  services  when  another  group  entity  or  shareholder  has  the

The  application  of  AASB  2010-3  makes  amendments  to AASB  3(2008)  „Business 
Combinations‟ to clarify that the measurement choice regarding non-controlling interests at 
the date  of  acquisition  is  only  available  in  respect  of  non controlling interests  that  are 
present  ownership  interests  and that  entitle  their  holders  to  a  proportionate  share  of  the 
entity's net assets in the event of liquidation. All other types of non controlling interests are 
measured  at  their  acquisition-date  fair value,  unless  another  measurement  basis  is 
required by other Standards.

In  addition, the  application  of AASB 2010-3 makes amendments to  AASB 3(2008) to  give 
more  guidance regarding  the  accounting  for  share-based  payment  awards held  by  the 
acquiree's  employees.  Specifically,  the amendments  specify  that  share-based  payment 
transactions of the acquiree that are not replaced should be measured in accordance with 
AASB 2 „Share-based Payment‟ at the acquisition date („market-based measure‟).

Except  for  the  amendments  to  AASB  7  and  AASB  101 described  earlier  this  section,  the 
application of AASB 2010-4 has not had any material effect on amounts reported in the
financial statements.

Interpretation  19:  Extinguishing  Financial 
Liabilities with Equity Instruments.

This Interpretation provides guidance regarding the accounting for the extinguishment of a 
financial  liability  by  the  issue  of equity  instruments.  In  particular,  the  equity  instruments 
issued under  such  arrangements  will  be  measured  at  their  fair  value, and  any  difference 
between  the  carrying  amount  of  the financial  liability  extinguished  and  the  fair  value  of 
equity instruments  issued  will  be  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  To  date, the  Group  has  not 
entered into transactions of this nature.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT 

2. 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The financial report is  a general  purpose financial report  which has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with the Corporations Act 2001  and 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  and  complies  with  other  requirements  of  the  law.  Accounting  Standards  include  Australian 
equivalents  to  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  („A-IFRS‟).  Compliance  with  the  A-IFRS  ensures  that  the  consolidated 
financial statements and notes of the Company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards („IFRS‟). 

The financial report includes the separate financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 12 August 2011. 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

The  Financial  Report  has  been  prepared  on  the  basis  of  historical  cost  except  for  the  revaluation  of  certain  non-current  assets  and 
financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in 
Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class 
Order amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.  

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concept s of 
relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.  

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the Financial Report: 

(b) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash  and cash  equivalents comprise cash  on hand, cash in  banks  and investments  in  money  market instruments,  net  of  outstanding 
bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.  

(c) 

Goods and services tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: 

(ii) 

where  the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  it  is  recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of 
acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or 

(iii) 

for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. 

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows 
are  included  in  the  cash  flow  statement  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  component  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  and  financin g
activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.  

(d) 

Goodwill 

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill 
is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and 
the fair value of the acquirer‟s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acqu isition-date amounts of the 
identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.  

If,  after  reassessment,  the  Group‟s  interest  in  the  fair  value  of  the  acquiree‟s  identifiable  net  assets  exceeds  the  sum  of  t he 
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer‟s previously held 
equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.  

Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to 
each  of the Group‟s cash-generating  units  expected to benefit from the synergies  of  the combination. Cash-generating  units to  which 
goodwill  has  been  allocated  are  tested  for  impairment  annually,  or  more  frequently  when  there  is  an  indication  that  the  unit  may  be 
impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first t o
reduce  the  carrying  amount  of  any  goodwill  allocated  to  the  unit  and  then  to  the  other  assets  of  the  unit  pro-rata  on  the  basis  of  the 
carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent p eriod. 

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(e) 

Inventories 

Inventories  are  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value.  Costs,  including  an  appropriate  portion  of  fixed  and  variable 
overhead  expenses,  are  assigned to  inventory  on  hand  by  the  method  most  appropriate  to  each  particular class  of inventory,  with the 
majority  being  valued  on  a first in first out basis. Net realisable  value represents the  estimated selling price less  all  estimated costs  of 
completion and costs necessary to make the sale. 

(f) 

Property, plant and equipment 

Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and equipment under financ e lease are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. In the event that settlem ent of all or part 
of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is  determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as 
at the date of acquisition.  

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  straight  line  basis  in  order  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  asset  over  its  expected  useful  life  to  its 
estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements and assets held under finance lease are depreciated over the period of the lease or 
estimated  useful  life,  whichever  is  the  shorter,  using  the  straight  line  method.  The  estimated  useful  lives,  residual  values  and
depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective 
basis. 

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between 
the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. 

The annual depreciation rates used for each class of assets are as follows: 

Plant and equipment:  

10% to 50%

Equipment rented to third parties:  

10% to 50%

Equipment under finance lease:  

10% to 50% 

Capital  works  in  progress  in  the  course  of  construction  for  production  or  supply  purposes,  or  for  purposes  not  yet  determined,  are 
carried  at  cost,  less  any  recognised  impairment  loss.  Cost  includes  professional  fees  and,  for  qualifying  assets,  borrowing  costs 
capitalised in accordance with the Group‟s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other  property, plant 
and equipment assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. 

(g) 

Share-based payments 

Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity 
instrument  at  the  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  measured  by  the  use  of  the  Black-Scholes  Model,  Binomial  Tree  Method  and  Monte-Carlo 
Simulation  as  appropriate.  The  expected  life  used  in  the  model  has  been  adjusted,  based  on  management‟s  best  estimate,  for  the 
effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations. 

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed over the vesting period, based on 
the Group‟s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision 
of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the 
employee equity-settled benefits reserve.  

(h) 

Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Comp any (its 
subsidiaries) (referred to as „the Group‟ in these financial statements). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern 
the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective 
date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into lin e with those 
used by other members of the Group. 

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

(i) 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Business combinations 

Acquisitions  of subsidiaries  and businesses  are  accounted for using the  acquisition  method. The consideration for  each  acquisition is 
measured  at  the  aggregate  of  the  fair  values  (at  the  date  of  exchange)  of  assets  given,  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed,  and  equity 
instruments  issued  by  the  Group  in  exchange  for  control  of  the  acquiree.  Acquisition-related  costs  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as 
incurred. 

Where  applicable,  the  consideration  for  the  acquisition  includes  any  asset  or  liability  resulting  from  a  contingent  consideration 
arrangement,  measured  at  its  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent  changes  in  such  fair  values  are  adjusted  against  the  cost  of 
acquisition  where  they  qualify  as  measurement  period  adjustments  (see  below).  All  other  subsequent  changes  in  the  fair  value  of 
contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards. Changes in the fair 
value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised. 

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group‟s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair 
value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised  in profit or loss. 
Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive 
income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.  

The  acquiree‟s identifiable  assets, liabilities  and contingent liabilities that  meet the conditions for recognition  under AASB 3(2008)  are 
recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that: 

 



 

deferred  tax  assets  or  liabilities  and  liabilities  or  assets  related  to  employee  benefit  arrangements  are  recognised  and 
measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively;  

liabilities  or  equity  instruments  related  to  the  replacement  by  the  Group  of  an  acquiree‟s  share  based  payment  awards  are 
measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment; and 

assets (or  disposal groups) that  are classified  as  held for sale in  accordance  with AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale 
and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard. 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occ urs, the 
Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during 
the measurement period (see below),  or  additional  assets  or  liabilities  are recognised, to reflect new  information  obtained  about facts 
and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. 

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and 
circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year. 

(j) 

Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily 
take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the 
assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. 

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is  
deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.  

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

In  preparing  the  financial  statements  of  the  individual  entities,  transactions  in  currencies  other  than  th e  entity‟s  functional  currency 
(foreign  currencies)  are  recorded  at  the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  At  each  balance  sheet   date, 
monetary  items  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  retranslated  at  the  rates  prevailing  at  the  balance  sheet  date.  Non-monetary 
items carried  at fair  value that  are  denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated  at the rates prevailing  on the date  when the fair 
value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. 

Exchange  differences  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in  which  they  arise  except  for  exchange  differences  on  monetary 
items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to occur, which form part of the 
net  investment  in  a foreign  operation,  and  which  are recognised  in the foreign currency translation reserve  and recognised in profit  or 
loss on disposal of the net investment. 

On  consolidation,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Group‟s  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  at  exchange  rates 
prevailing  on  the  balance sheet  date. Income  and  expense items  are translated  at the  average  exchange rates for the period, unless 
exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period,  in  which case the  exchange rates  at the dates  of the transactions  are  used. 
Exchange  differences  arising,  if  any,  are  classified  as  equity  and  transferred  to  the  Group‟s  translation  reserve.  Such  exch ange 
differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed.  

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity on or after the date of transition to A-IFRS are treated 
as  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  foreign  entity  and  translated  at  exchange  rates  prevailing  at  the  reporting  date.  Goodwill  arising  on
acquisitions before the date of transition to A-IFRS is treated as an Australian dollar denominated asset. 

(l) 

Derivative financial instruments 

The  Group  enters  into  derivative  financial  instruments  to  manage  its  exposure  to  interest  rate  risk.  This  risk  is  primarily  managed 
through the use of an interest rate cap. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in  the financial instruments note 
in the financial statements.  

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently rem easured to their 
fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately. The Group has not designated 
any financial instruments as being hedge accounted. 

(i)  

Embedded derivatives 

Derivatives  embedded  in  other  financial  instruments  or  other  host  contracts  are  treated  as   separate  derivatives  when  their  risks  and 
characteristics are  not closely related to those  of host contracts and the host contracts  are  not measured  at fair  value  with changes in 
fair value recognised in profit or loss. 

(m) 

Financial assets 

All  financial  assets  are  recognised  and  derecognised  on  trade  date  where  purchase  or  sale  of  a  financial  asset  is  under  a  contract 
whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured 
at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  except  for  those  financial  assets  classified  as  „at  fair  value  through  the  profit  or  loss‟  which  are 
initially measured at fair value.  

Financial  assets  are  classified  into  the  following  specified  categories:  financial  ass ets  „at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss‟,  „held-to-
maturity‟  investments,  „available-for-sale‟  financial  assets,  and  „loans  and  receivables‟.  The  classification  depends  on  the  nature  and 
purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. 

(i)  

Effective interest method 

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest i ncome over the 
relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of 
the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.  

Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets „at fair value through profit 
or loss‟.

Financial assets (continued) 

Held-to-maturity investments 

Bills of exchange and debentures with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates  where the Group has the positive intent 
and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method less impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis. 

(iii) 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss where the financial asset:  

 
 

 

Has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; 
Is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern  
of short-term profit-taking; or 
Is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The 
net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial  asset.  

(iv) 

Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale  assets  are  stated  at  fair  value.  Gains  and  losses  arising  from  changes  in  fair  value  are  recognised  directly  in  the 
investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest rate method and 
foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets which are recognised directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is  disposed 
of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the investments revaluation reserve is included 
in profit or loss for the period. The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets held in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign 
currency and translated at the spot rate at reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that results from 
a change  in  amortised cost  of  the  asset is recognised  in profit  or loss, and  other changes  are  recognised in  equity.  Available-for-sale 
financial  assets include investments  where shareholding  is greater than 20% but significant  influence is not  exerted  over the invest ed
company. 

(v) 

Loans and receivables 

Trade receivables, loans,  and  other receivables  that have fixed  or  determinable payments that  are not quoted in  an  active  market  are 
classified  as  „loans  and  receivables‟.  Loans  and  receivables  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method 
less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate. 

(vi) 

Impairment of financial assets 

Financial  assets  other than those  at fair  value through  profit  or  loss,  are  assessed for indicators  of impairment  at  each bal ance sheet 
date.  Financial  assets  are  impaired  where  there  is  objective  evidence  that,  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  events  that  occurred  after  the 
initial  recognition  of  the  financial  asset,  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  of  the  investment  have  been  impacted.  For  financi al  assets 
carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment 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. 

The  carrying  value  of  the  financial  asset  is  reduced  by  the  impairment  loss  directly  for  all  financial  assets  wit h  the  exception  of  trade 
receivables where the carrying value is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollect ible, it is 
written  off  against the  allowance  account. Subsequent recoveries  of amounts previously  written  off are credited  against the  allowance 
account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.  

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and 
the  decrease  can  be  related  objectively  to  an  event  occurring  after  the  impairment  was  recognised,  the  previously  recognised 
impairment  loss  is  reversed  through  profit  or  loss  to  the  extent  the  carrying  amount  of  the  investment  at  the  d ate  the  impairment  is 
reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.  

In  respect  of  available-for-sale  instruments,  any  subsequent  increase  in  fair  value  after  an  impairment  loss  is  recognised  direct ly  in 
equity.

Derecognition of financial assets 

The Group derecognises  a financial  asset  only  when  the contractual rights to the cash flows from  the  asset  expire,   or it transfers the 
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor 
retains  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  and  continues  to  control  the  transferred  asset,  the  Group  recognises  its 
retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risk and 
rewards  of  ownership  of  a  transferred  financial  asset,  the  Group  continues  to  recognise  the  financial  asset  and  also  recognises  a 
collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. 

(n) 

(i) 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group 

Debt and equity instruments 

Debt  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  as  either  liabilities  or  as  equity  in  accordance  with  the  substance  of  the  contractual 
arrangement. An  equity  instrument is  any contract that  evidences  a  residual interest in the  assets  of an  entity  after deducting  all  of its  
liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. 

(ii) 

Financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities „at fair value through profit or loss‟ or other financial liabilities. 

(iii) 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognis ed in profit or loss. 
The net gain or loss recognised through profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.  

A financial liability is held for trading if: 

 

 

 

it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future; or  

it is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern 
of short-term profit-taking; or 

it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument. 

A  financial  liability  other  than  a  financial  liability  held  for  trading  is  designated  as  „at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss‟  upon  initial 
recognition if: 

 

 

 

such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; 
or

the  financial  liability  forms  part  of  a  group  of  financial  assets  or  financial  liabilities  or  both,  which  is  managed  and  its 
performance  evaluated  on  a  fair  value  basis,  in  accordance  with  the  Group‟s  documented  risk  management  or  investment 
strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally or on that basis; or 

it forms part  of  a contract containing  one  or  more  embedded derivatives,  and AASB139 „Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement‟ permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as „at fair value through profit or 
loss‟. 

(iv) 

Other financial liabilities 

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.  

Other  financial  liabilities  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method,  with  interest  expense 
recognised on an effective yield basis.  

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest income over 
the relevant period. The  effective interest rate is the rate that  exactly discounts  estimated future cash payments through the  expected 
life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Intangible assets 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination 

All intangible  assets  acquired in  a  business combination  are identified  and recognised separately from  goodwill where they satisfy the 
definition  of  an intangible  asset  and their  value can be  measured reliably. Identifiable  intangible  assets comprise intellectual  property, 
technology, contracts, customers, development costs and trade marks. These are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation  and 
impairment. Amortisation is charged on  a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation 
method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period. 

Estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Intellectual property  

Technology 

Contracts 

Customers 

Trade Names and Patents  

10 years 

5-7 years 

1-5 years (term of contract) 

5-6 years 

1-6 years 

Each period, the useful life  of this  asset  is reviewed to  determine  whether  events  and circumstances continue to support  an i ndefinite 
useful life assessment for the asset. Such assets are tested for impairment in accordance with the policy stated in note 2(t).  

 (ii) 

Research and development costs 

Expenditure  on  research  activities  is  recognised  as  an  expense  in  the  period  in  which  it  is  incurred.  Where  no  internally-generated 
intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred. An intangi ble asset 
arising  from  development  (or  from  the  development  phase  of  an  internal  project)  is  recognised  if,  and  only  if,  all  of  the  following  are 
demonstrated: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;  

the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; 

the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; 

how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; 

the  availability  of  adequate  technical,  financial  and  other  resources  to  complete  the  development  and  to  use  or  sell  the 
intangible asset; and 

the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

Capitalised  development costs  are stated  at cost  less  accumulated  amortisation  and impairment,  and  are  amortised  on  a straight-line 
basis over their useful life of between 3 and 5 years, commencing on commercialisation of the underlying projects. 

(p) 

Taxation 

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. 

(i)  

Current tax 

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement 
because  of items  of income  or  expense that  are taxable  or deductible in  other  periods  and items that  are  never  taxable  or ded uctible. 
The Company and the Group‟s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 
the end of the reporting period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Taxation (continued) 

Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is recognised  on temporary differences between the carrying  amounts  of  assets  and liabilities in the financial statements 
and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised  for all taxable 
temporary  differences.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  generally  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences  to  the  extent  that  it  is 
probable that taxable profits  will  be  available  against  which those deductible temporary  differences can  be utilised. Such  deferred tax 
assets  and liabilities  are  not recognised  if the temporary  difference  arises from  goodwill  or from the initial recognition (other than in  a 
business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and ass ociates, and 
interests in joint ventures, except where the Company and the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is 
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductibl e temporary 
differences  associated  with  such  investments  and  interests  are  only  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  there  will  be 
sufficient  taxable  profits  against  which  to  utilise  the  benefits  of  the  temporary  differences  and  they  are  expected  to  revers e  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or 
the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the repor ting period. 
The  measurement  of  deferred tax  liabilities  and  assets reflects  the tax consequences that  would follow from the manner in  which the 
Company and the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities . 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  set  off  current  tax  assets  agains t  current  tax 
liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company and the Group intends to settle 
its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 

(iv) 

Current and deferred tax for the period 

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are  recognised 
outside  profit  or  loss  (whether  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity),  in  which  case  the  tax  is  also  recognised  outside 
profit or loss, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combin ation, the tax 
effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. 

(v) 

Tax consolidation 

The Company  and  all  its  wholly-owned Australian resident  entities  are  part  of  a tax-consolidated  group under  Australian taxation law. 
Imdex  Limited  is  the  head  entity  in  the  tax-consolidated  group.  Tax  expense/income,  deferred  tax  liabilities  and  deferred  tax  assets 
arising from temporary differences in the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of 
the members of the tax-consolidated group using the „separate taxpayer within group‟ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in 
the separate financial statements  of  each  entity  and the tax  values  applying  under tax consolidation. Current tax  liabilities   and  assets 
and  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  unused  tax  losses  and  relevant  tax  credits  of  the  members  of  the  tax-consolidated  group  are 
recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group). Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between 
the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the Company and each member of the 
group  in  relation  to  the  tax  contribution  amounts  paid  or  payable  between  the  parent  entity  and  the  other  members   of  the  tax-
consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement. Further information about the tax funding arrangement is detailed in n ote 5 to 
the financial statements. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the tax-consolidated group for a particular 
period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax 
credit in respect of that period, the difference is recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(q) 

Leased assets 

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to 
the lessee.  All other leases are classified as operating leases. 

(i)  

Group as Lessor 

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.  

(ii)  

Group as Lessee 

Assets  held  under  finance  leases  are  initially  recognised  at  their  fair  value  or,  if  lower,  at  amounts  equal  to  the  present  value  of  the 
minimum  lease  payments,  each  determined  at  the  inception  of  the  lease.  The  corresponding  liability  to  the  lessor  is  included  in  the 
balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. 

Lease  payments  are  apportioned  between  finance  charges  and  reduction  of  the  lease  obligation  so  as  to  achieve  a  constant  rate   of 
interest  on  the  remaining  balance  of  the  liability.  Finance  charges  are  charged  directly  against  income,  unless  they  are  directly 
attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group‟s general policy on borrowing costs. 

Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.  

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic 
basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.  

(iii)  

Lease incentives 

In  the  event  that  lease  incentives  are  received  to  enter  into  operating  leases,  such  incentives  are  recognised  as  a  liability.  The 
aggregate  benefits  of  incentives  are  recognised  as  a  reduction  of  rental  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis,  except  where  another 
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.  

(r)   

Revenue 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

(i)  

Sale of goods 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: 

 

 

 

 

 

the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownerships of the goods; 

the  Group  retains  neither  continuing  managerial  involvement  to  the  degree  usually  associated  with  ownership  nor  effective 
control over the goods sold; 

the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; 

it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and 

the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. 

(ii) 

Rendering of services 

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.  

(iii) 

Royalties 

Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement. 

(iv) 

Dividend and interest revenue 

Dividend  revenue  from  investments  is  recognised  when  the  shareholders  right  to  receive  payment  has  been  established.  Interest  
revenue  is accrued  on  a time basis, by reference to the  principle  outstanding  and  at the  effective  interest rate  applicable,  which is the  
rate  that  exactly  discounts  estimated  future  cash  receipts  through  the  expected  life  of  the  financial  asset  to  that  asset‟s  n et  carrying 
amount. 

(v) 

Operating lease income 

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Employee benefits 

Provisions 

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave 
when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.  

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using 
the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. 

Provisions made in respect  of  employee  benefits  which  are not  expected  to be settled  within 12 months  are measured  as the present 
value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date. 

(ii) 

Defined contribution plans 

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred. 

(t)   

Impairment of other tangible and intangible assets (other than goodwill) 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any 
indication  that  those  assets  have  suffered  an  impairment  loss.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is
estimated  in  order  to  determine  the  extent  of  the  impairment  loss  (if  any).  Where  the  asset  does  not  generate  cash  flows  that  are 
independent  from  other  assets,  the  Group  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash-generating  unit  to  which  the  asset  belongs. 
Where  a  reasonable  and  consistent  basis  of  allocation  can  be  identified,  corporate  assets  are  also  allocated  to  individual  cash-
generating units,  or  otherwise they  are  allocated to the smallest  group  of cash-generating units for  which  a reasonable  and consistent 
allocation basis can be identified. 

Intangible  assets  with  indefinite  useful  lives  and  intangible  assets  not  yet  available  for  use  are  tested  for  impairment  annually  and 
whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated  future cash 
flows  are discounted to  their present  value  using  a  pre-tax discount rate that reflects current  market  assessments  of the time  value  of 
money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recov erable amount 
of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating 
unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 

Where  an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying  amount  of the  asset (cash-generating  unit)  is increased  to  the revised 
estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carryi ng amount that 
would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of 
an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 

(u) 

 Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event, it is probable that 
the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.   

The  amount  recognised  as  a  provision  is  the  best  estimate  of  the  consideration  required  to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  reporting 
date,  taking  into  account  the  risks  and  uncertainties  surrounding  the  obligation.  Where  a  provision  is  measured  using  the  cas hflows 
estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows. 

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable 
is  recognised  as  an  asset  if  it  is  virtually  certain  that  recovery  will  be  received  and  the  amount  of  the  receivable  can  be  measured 
reliably.

Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty 

In  the  application  of  the  Group‟s  accounting  policies,  which  are  described  in  note  2,  management  is  required  to  make  judgements, 
estimates  and  assumptions  about  carrying  values  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not  readily  apparent  from  other  sources.  T he 
estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable 
under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period in  which the  estimate is revised if the revision  affects  only that  period,  or  in the  period  of  the revision  and future periods if the 
revision affects both current and future periods. 

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

Management have not made any significant critical judgements in the process of applying the Group‟s accounting policies. 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, 
that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial 
year: 

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangibles

Determining whether goodwill and intangibles are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating 
units to which goodwill and intangibles are attributable. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future 
cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.  A
forward looking estimation of this nature is inherently uncertain. Details of the key assumptions made are contained in note 12 
(Goodwill) and note 13 (Intangibles). No impairment losses were booked in the current year. Impairment losses booked in the 
prior year are detailed in notes 12 and 13. 

Recognition of net deferred tax asset

A net deferred tax asset of $16.0 million has been recognised on the face of the balance sheet. The largest component of this 
asset is the future tax  benefit  of depreciation  of unrealised profits  in self manufactured  property,  plant  and  equipment items. 
This  tax  benefit  will  be  realised  progressively  over  the  next  3-5  years  as  these  assets  are  depreciated.  This  net  asset  has 
been raised as it is considered more likely than not that it will be realised. In making this assessment of likelihood a forw ard 
looking  estimation  of  cash  flows  and  the  likelihood  of  business  success  needs  to  be  made  up  to  5  years  into  the  future.  A 
forward looking estimation of this nature over 5 years is inherently uncertain. Details of deferred tax balances  are contained in 
note 5. 

Fair value of options and performance rights

Options  and  performance  rights  as  detailed  in  notes  32  and  33  are  inherently  complex  to  value  due  to  their  nature  and 
relationship to the share market and its uncertainties. The Imdex Group therefore engaged valuation professionals to perform 
a valuation.  The  models  used  by  the  valuation  professionals,  although  they  are  industry  standard  models,  are  subject  to 
limitations and uncertainties.

Income Taxes (continued) 

Tax Consolidation 

Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group 

Legislation to  allow groups, comprising  a parent  entity  and its Australian resident wholly-owned  entities, to  elect to consolidate  and  be 
treated as a single entity for income tax purposes was substantively enacted on 21 October 2002. The Company and its wholly-owned 
Australian resident  entities  are  eligible to consolidate for tax purposes under this  legislation  and have  elected to  be taxed  as  a single 
entity from 1 July 2003. The head entity in the tax consolidated group for the purposes of the tax consolidation system is Imdex Limited. 

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements 

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding and a tax-sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the 
terms  of  this  agreement,  Imdex  Limited  and  each  of  the  entities  in  the  tax  consolidated  group  has  agreed  to  pay  a  tax  equival ent 
payment to or from the head entity, based on the net accounting profit or loss of the entity and the current tax rate. Such amounts are 
reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. 

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax consolidated group provides for the d etermination of the allocation 
of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations or if an entity  should leave the 
tax consolidated group. The  effect  of the tax sharing  agreement is that  each  member's liability for tax  payable by  the  tax consolidated 
group is limited to the amount payable by the head entity under the tax funding arrangement. 

The amount of contribution or distribution relating to tax consolidation in the current and prior year amount ed to nil.

(i) The average credit period on sales of goods is around 60 days. Trade receivables are interest free. An allowance has been made for
estimated irrecoverable amounts from the sale of goods and services, determined by reference to past default experience and specific
knowledge of individual debtors circumstances.

The above analysis shows debtors that are past due at the end of the reporting date where no provision has been raised as the Group
believes that the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

(ii) Movement in the allowance for doubtful debts

Balance at the beginning of the year
Amounts written off during the year
(Increase) / decrease in allowance recognised in 
profit or loss
Balance at the end of the year

All impaired debtors are in excess of 90 days overdue.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the
date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and
unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

(i)  Comprises  251,908,446  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  Sino  Gas  and  Energy  Holdings  Pty  Ltd  (SEH)  held  at  fair  value  (2010: 
251,908,446  shares).  This  amounts  to  25.96%  of  the  issued  share  capital  of  SEH  (2010:  26.95%). 243,448,446  of  these  shares  are 
subject  to  escrow  until  15  September  2011.  The  shareholding  percentage  dropped  in  the  current  year  due  to  additional  shares  being 
issued by SEH to third parties. 

Despite holding  more  than  20%  of the issued share capital  of SEH, the Company  does not have significant influence  over SEH  in the 
current  or  prior  periods  due  to  its  limited  Board  representation  and  minimal  involvement  in  strategic  planning  and  day  to  day 
management. The shareholding  in  excess  of  20%  is  a consequence  of  partially sub-underwriting SEH‟s recent capital raising in June 
2010. The partial sub-underwriting was undertaken to facilitate the Company‟s exit from the SEH convertible note that had been issued 
by SEH to Imdex Limited in a prior year. As the Company‟s intention remains to realise the value of the investment through sale, subject 
to escrow arrangements, this investment has been classified, as an available-for-sale non-current asset and carried at fair value.

During the prior  year SEH undertook  a capital raising  which  was partially sub-underwritten by Imdex Limited. There  was  a shortfall  on 
the capital raising  and Imdex  Limited was called upon to subscribe for 220,470,096 shares  at $0.033 per share. As part  of this capital 
raising, Imdex also received for no consideration 96,263,092 SEH options exercisable  at $0.125 each before 31 December 2012. These 
options have been valued at nil. 

At 21 June 2010 Imdex held a convertible loan note of $13.2 million with SEH. On 21 June 2010 capitalised interest of $1.8 million was 
converted  into fully paid SEH  ordinary shares  at $0.20  per share. On 28 June  2010  $7.3  million  was converted  into  220,470,096 fully 
paid SEH ordinary shares as part of the sub-underwriting agreement described above and the balance of $4.1 million was repaid. 

The  impairment  adjustment  of  $10.4  million  arose  on  the  write  down  of  SEH  shares  to  their  market  value  per  the  Australian  Stock 
Exchange of $0.027 per share at 30 June 2010. 

In the current year the carrying value of this investment was written up to its market value of $0.064 per share or $16.1 million in total at 
30 June 2011. 

(ii) Loans to Subsidiaries are repayable on demand and carry interest at market related rates. These loans are classified as  non-current 
as there is no intention for them to be repaid in the next 12 months.

(i) Goodwill arose in the current year on the acquisition of Fluidstar Pty Ltd (Fluidstar) and Ecospin Pty Ltd (Ecospin) by Imdex Limited   
effective 1 September 2010 (Refer note 26(a)). Fluidstar and Ecospin were purchased simultaneously from the same vendor in a single 
deal. Effective 1 January 2011, the businesses of Fluidstar and Ecospin were transferred into Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd  (AMC), 
an existing legal entity and separate cash generating unit. This transfer occurred to gain synergies since these businesses are similar in 
nature and have similar customers and end markets. The goodwill of Fluidstar and Ecospin has therefore been absorbed into the AMC 
CGU and has been assessed for impairment as part of the AMC CGU. 

(ii) Goodwill arose in the current year on the acquisition of AMC Germany GmbH (formerly Mud-Data GmbH) (AMC Germany) by Imdex 
Limited effective 1 March 2011 (Refer note 26(b)). AMC Germany is considered to be a separate cash generating unit since it operates 
independently  from  other  Imdex  operations  in  a  separate  geographical  area  being  the  greater  European  region  and  in  a  separate 
market, being the oil and gas and geothermal markets.

At 31 December 2009 it was recognised that the major mining regions had been hit hard by the global financial crisis and  were slow to 
recover. In particular this was true for the mining regions of Africa, Canada and Latin America. This caused the financial performance of 
all cash-generating units to fall below expected levels at this time which was the trigger for performing impairment reviews of the Drilling 
Fluids  and  Chemicals  businesses  (Samchem,  Wildcat,  Suay,  AMC  North  America  and  AMC  Chile).  In  addition  Imdex  took  the 
opportunity  to restructure these businesses  along regional lines  and re-branding  all  entities to the “AMC” brand. Wildcat  and Suay  are 
both oil and gas segment businesses while Samchem, AMC North America and AMC Chile are Minerals Segment businesses.  

The  lower  performance  and  technical  difficulties  experienced  in  commercialising  the  oil  and  gas  down  hole  instrumentation  tool  suite 
and penetrating that market  was the trigger for the impairment adjustment  at 31 December 2009 within the Down Hole Instrumentation 
businesses (Flexit and Imdex Technology Germany). Both these businesses are oil and gas segment businesses. 

The  recoverable  amount  of  goodwill  was  determined  based  on  a  value  in  use  calculation  which  uses  a  5  year  discounted  cash  flow 
projection based on the 2011 forecast plus a terminal value. Future cash flows were discounted to present values using region specific, 
real, pre-tax  discount rates  per the  table below.  Management  believe  that  any  reasonably  possible change in the key  assumptions  on 
which recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

Changes to the Corporations Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998. 
Therefore, the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.

(ii) Share options granted under the staff option plan

No options were granted under the staff option plan in the current or prior year.

In accordance with the provisions of the staff option plan, as at 30 June 2011, executives, directors and staff have options over 8,518,158
ordinary shares (all of which had vested), in aggregate. These options expire over a range of dates up to March 2013. As at 30 June 2010,
executives, directors and staff have options over 13,436,864 ordinary shares (11,814,088 of which had vested), in aggregate. These options
expire over a range of dates up to March 2013. Share options granted under the employee share option plan carry no rights to dividends and
no voting rights.

Details of the Staff Option Plan can be found in note 32.

(iii) Shares issued in satisfaction of Performance Rights

No shares were issued in the current or prior years in satisfaction of performance rights. Performance rights obligations were settled by the
purchase of existing shares on market. More information on the performance rights plan can be found in note 33.

Acquisition of Businesses 

(a) Acquisition of entity - Fluidstar Pty Ltd and Ecospin Pty Ltd

With effect from 1 September 2010, Imdex Limited, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Fluidstar Pty Ltd (Fluidstar) and Ecospin Pty Ltd
(Ecospin). Both companies are incorporated in Australia and operate out of premises located in Brisbane. Fluidstar manufactures and distributes
drilling fluids throughout the Asia Pacific region with a strong presence in the Queensland market. Ecospin develops and sell solids control
solutions for the drilling industry. Both companies focus predominately on the mineral drilling industry. The provisional numbers presented below
have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

(i) Provisional acquisition numbers were presented in the 31 December 2010 half year financial report released to the ASX on 21 February 2011.
These provisional numbers included $1.1 million attributed to the mud separation technology contained within the Ecospin business. Upon further
investigation it was determined that this intangible asset could not be separately identified and reliably measured apart from goodwill. This amount
and the related deferred tax balance shown in the 31 December 2010 half year financial report has therefore been reclassified to goodwill.

(ii) Goodwill arose in the business combination because the cost of the combination included a control premium paid to acquire Fluidstar and
Ecospin. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies,
revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of Fluidstar and Ecospin. These benefits are not recognised separately
from goodwill as the future economic benefits arising from them cannot be reliably measured. There were no acquisition provisions created, nor
were there any contingent liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

(iii) The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 30 June 2011 records the payment for the acquisition of Fluidstar and Ecospin as
$12.2 million being the total purchase consideration of $12.2 million shown above plus $0.2 million of on-costs expensed during the period and
less $0.2 million of cash acquired.

(iv) Fluidstar and Ecospin traded as independent entities from the date of their acquisition (1 September 2011) to 31 December 2011 after which
they ceased trading in their own rights and their businesses were transfered into Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd. The results presented above
represent trading for this four month period only. Had the acquisition of Fluidstar and Ecospin been effected on 1 July 2010, the beginning of the
current financial year, the Fluidstar and Ecospin financial results included in the Imdex consolidated results would have been revenue of
approximately $18.8 million and profit after tax of approximately $2.3 million. The results of Fluidstar and Ecospin are included in the Minerals
segment. The Board considers these 'pro-forma' numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an
annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

With effect from 1 March 2011, Imdex Limited, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Mud-Data GmbH, a company incorporated in
Germany and operating out of premises in Rastede. This entity was subsequently renamed AMC Germany GmbH (AMC Germany). AMC
Germany own 100% of the issued share capital of Mud-Data-Rom SRL, an entity incorporated in Romania. AMC Germany manufactures and
distributes drilling fluids and solids control equipment for the oil & gas and geothermal industries in Europe. The numbers presented below are

(i) Intangibles assets of $3.9 million comprise the fair value of a key geothermal contract. AMC Germany is currently negotiating this contract and
it is expected that work will commence in financial year 2012. Additional deferred consideration comprising cash and share payments will be made
to the vendors over the next 5 years depending on the level of financial performance of this contract. (details in (iii) below) The discounted present
value of these expected payments have been used to determine the fair value of this intangible asset. This intangible asset is being amortised
over its expected useful life of 5 years. Deferred tax of $1.2 million was raised on this asset.

(ii) Goodwill arose in the business combination because the cost of the combination included a control premium paid to acquire AMC Germany. In
addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth,
future market development and the assembled workforce of AMC Germany. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill as the
future economic benefits arising from them cannot be reliably measured. There were no acquisition provisions created, nor were there any
contingent liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

(iii) Additional cash and share payments become payable to the vendors in future periods, the discounted value of which is presented above.
Additional consideration becomes payable as follows:

- cash payment of € 1.2 million plus € 1.0 million in fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares should drilling commence on a key geothermal 
contract before 1 April 2016 or a minimum of €2.0 million be received in cash from this client for the purchase of mud systems; and
- cash of € 0.15 million per complete set of four wells drilled on the key geothermal contract; and
- cash amounting to 1.065% of the revenue generated by the key geothermal contract for calendar years 2011 to 2015 paid quarterly.

(iv) The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 30 June 2011 records the payment for the acquisition of AMC Germany as $2.1
million being the cash consideration above of $1.6 million above plus $0.6 million of on-costs expensed in the current year and less $0.1 million of
cash acquired .

(v) Had the acquisition of AMC Germany been effected on 1 July 2010, the beginning of the current year, the AMC Germany financial results
included in the Imdex consolidated results would have been revenue of approximately $3.4 million with breakeven profit. The results of AMC
Germany are included in the Oil & Gas segment. The Board considers these 'pro-forma' numbers to represent an approximate measure of the
performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

27   Segment Information 

Adoption of AASB 8 Operating Segments 

The Group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified 
on  the  basis  of  internal  reports  about  components  of  the  Group  that  are  regularly  reviewed  by  the  chief  operating  decision  maker  in 
order  to  allocate  resources  to  the  segments  and  to  assess  their  performance.  In  contrast,  the  predecessor  Standard  (AASB  114 
Segment Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments (business and geographical), using a risks and returns  approach, 
with  the  entity‟s  „system of  internal  financial  reporting  to  key  management  personnel‟  serving  only  as  the  starting  point  for  the 
identification of such segments. As a result, following the adoption of AASB 8, the identification of the Group‟s reportable  segments has 
not changed. 

In prior years segment information reported externally was analysed on the basis of product (ie Drilling Fluids and Chemicals  or Down 
Hole  Instrumentation).  Effective  1  July  2010  changed  internal  reporting  structures  came  into  effect  that  chang ed the  way  information 
was  reported  to  the  chief  operating  decision  maker.  Information  is  now  presented  along  market  lines  with  the  Imdex  Group  reporting 
financial results and making decisions to allocate resources made with reference to the Minerals market and the oil and gas market. 

Reportable Segments 

Segment  results,  assets  and  liabilities  include  items  directly  attributable  to  a  segment  as  well  as  those  that  can  be  allocat ed  on  a 
reasonable  basis. Unallocated  items  mainly comprise income  earning  assets  and  interest revenue,  interest bearing loans, borrowings 
and expenses, and corporate assets and expenses. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to  acquire 
segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period. 

The Group comprises the following reportable segments which are based on the Group's internal management reporting system:  

(i) Minerals division: This segment comprises the manufacture, sale and rental of down hole instrumentation and manufacture and sale 
of drilling fluids and chemicals to the mining and mineral exploration industry globally; and  

(ii) Oil & Gas division: This segment comprises the manufacture, sale and rental of down hole instrumentation and manufacture and sale 
of drilling fluids and chemicals to the oil and gas and geothermal industries globally;

(a) Capital Risk Management 

The  Group  manages  its  capital  to  ensure  that  entities  in  the  Group  will  be  able  to  continue  as  a  going  concern  while  maximisi ng  the 
return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. 

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note  15, cash and cash equivalents and 
equity  attributable to  equity  holders  of  the  parent, comprising issued capital, reserves  and retained  earnings  as   disclosed  in notes  18 
and 19. Management and the Board review the capital structure regularly. The treasury function present regular updates to the Board. 
As a part of these reviews management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on the 
outcome of these reviews the Group will balance its overall capital structure through payment of dividends and issue of new shares as 
well as the issue of new debt or repayment of existing debt.  The Board does not have a specific optimum gearing target other than to 
maintain a competitive weighted average cost of capital. 

The Group‟s overall capital management strategy remains unchanged from prior years. 

The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

Debt (i)
Cash and bank balances
Net debt

Equity (ii)

Financial Instruments (continued) 

(d) Financial risk management objectives

The Group‟s treasury function provides services to the  business, co-ordinates  access to domestic  and  international financial  markets, 
monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which  analyse exposures 
by degree  and magnitude  of risks. These  risks include  market risk (including currency risk  and fair  value interest rate risk), credit risk, 
liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk. 

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using natural hedges where possible and derivative financial instruments to 
hedge remaining risk exposures where the benefit of the hedge outweighs the cost. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the 
Group‟s  treasury  policies  which  are  approved  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  These  policies  describe  the  Group‟s  policies  with  respect  to 
foreign  exchange  risk,  interest  rate  risk,  credit  risk,  the  use  of  financial  derivatives  and  non-derivative  financial  instruments,  and  the 
investment of excess liquidity. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments for 
speculative purposes. There are no derivative instruments in operation at year end. 

(e) Market risk

The  Group‟s  activities  expose  it  primarily  to  the  financial  risks  of  changes  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  (note  (f)  below)  and 
interest  rates  (note  (g)  below).  The  Group  monitors  its  exposure  to  these  risks  on  a  regular  basis  and  enters  into  derivative  financial 
instruments to manage these risks where appropriate. There are no derivative financial instruments in operation at year end. At a Group 
and at a company level market risk exposures are measured by sensitivity analyses and scenario modelling.   

There has been no change to the Group‟s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

(f) Foreign currency risk management 

The Group undertakes certain transactions  denominated  in foreign  currencies,  hence  exposures  to foreign  exchange rate fluctuations 
arise. Exchange rate  exposures  are  managed  with the  use  of natural hedges where possible  and  with the  use  of financial instruments 
where benefit outweighs cost within approved policy parameters. During the current and prior year no financial instruments were used to 
manage foreign exchange risk. 

The carrying amount in Australian dollars of the Group‟s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Australian 
dollars at the reporting date are as per the table below. Non Australian dollar liabilities include trade creditors, accruals and borrowings 
recorded  in  Australian  as  well  as  non-Australian  entities.  Non  Australian  dollar  assets  include  cash  on  hand  and  debtors  recorded  in 
Australian  as  well  as  non-Australian  entities.  Any  fluctuation  in  exchange  rates  relative  to  the  Australian  dollar  will  cause  the  below 
assets and liabilities to change in value.

(f) Foreign currency risk management (continued) 

Foreign currency sensitivity 

The Group is mainly exposed to United States Dollars, Canadian Dollars, European Dollars and South African Rand.  

The  following  table  details  the  Group‟s  sensitivity  to  a  10%  (2010:  5%)  increase  and  decrease  in  the  Australian  Dollar  against  the 
relevant  foreign  currencies.  The  sensitivity  rate  of  10%  (2010:  5%)  is  the  rate  used  when  performing  regular  reporting  on  foreign 
currency  risk  internally.  Foreign  exchange  risk  is  reported  regularly  to  key  management  personnel  and  the  Board.  The  estimate d
movement of 10% (2010: 5%) represents management‟s assessment of the possible change in foreign currency exchange rates which 
is based on regular forecasts received from major lending institutions. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency 
denominated monetary items and adjust their translation at the period end for a  10% (2010: 5%) change in foreign currency rates. The 
sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is 
in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss and other 
equity  where  the  Australian  Dollar  strengthens  against  the  respective  currency.  For  a  weakening  of  the  Australian  Dollar  against  the 
respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would carry the 
opposite sign.

Financial Instruments (continued) 

(g) Interest rate risk management 

The  Company  and the Group  are  exposed to interest rate  risk  as  entities in the Group  borrow funds  at floating interest rates.  Interest 
rate risk is managed within defined treasury policy guidelines. This is achieved by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between 
fixed and floating rate borrowings and by the use of an interest rate cap to limit the  maximum exposure to interest rate rises on part of 
Group debt. 

The  Company  and  the  Group‟s  exposures  to  interest  rates  on  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  detailed  in  the  liquidity  risk
management section of this note. 

Interest rate sensitivity 

The sensitivity data below is presented based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the 
reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held const ant throughout the reporting 
period.  A  100  basis  point  increase  or decrease  is used  when reporting interest rate risk internally to  key  management  personnel  and 
represents  management‟s  assessment  of  the  possible  changes  in  interest  rates  based  on  consultation  with  appropriately  qualified  
financial professionals. 

Group sensitivity 

At reporting date,  if interest rates had been  100  basis points  higher  and  all  other  variables  were  held constant, the Group‟s  net profit 
would  decrease  by  $0.3  million  (2010:  $0.3  million).  There  would  be  a  nil  impact  on  equity  other  than  via  profit. A 100  basis  point 
decrease  in  interest  rates,  holding  all  other  variables  constant  would  yield  an  increase  in  the  Group‟s  net  profit  of  $0.3  million  (2010: 
$0.3 million). This is mainly attributable to the Group‟s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.  

Company sensitivity 

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Company‟s net profit 
would  decrease  by  $0.3  million  (2010:  $0.2  million).  There  would  be  a  nil  impact  on  equity  other  than  via  profit.  A 100  basis  point 
decrease in interest rates, holding all other variables constant would yield an increase in the Company‟s net profit of $0.3 million (2010: 
$0.2 million). This is mainly attributable to the Company‟s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings. 

Interest rate cap 

On 1 January 2008 the Company entered into an interest rate cap arrangement for a 3 year period. This interest rate cap, costing $0.2 
million,  enabled the Company to limit the  maximum  exposure to interest rate movements  on  $10  million  of its debt to 7%  per  an num. 
This interest rate cap expired on 31 December 2010. At 30 June 2010 this interest rate cap had a fair value of nil. This fair value was 
determined by seeking market valuations at year end for an interest rate cap with identical terms that terminates on 31 December 2010. 

(h) Credit risk management 

Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the  Group.  The 
Group has  adopted  a policy  of  only  dealing with creditworthy counterparties  and  obtaining sufficient collateral where  appropriate,  as  a 
means  of  mitigating  the  risk  of  financial  loss  from  defaults.  The  Group‟s  exposure  and  the  credit  ratings  of  its  counterparties  are 
monitored  on  a  weekly  basis  and  the  aggregate  value  of  transactions  concluded  is  spread  amongst  approved  counterparties.  Credit 
exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed regularly by management. 

Trade  receivables  consist  of  a  large  number  of  customers,  spread  across  diverse  industries  and  geographical  areas.  Ongoing  cr edit 
evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable. 

The  Group  does  not  have  any  significant  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  counterparty  or  group  of  counterparties  having  similar 
characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with 
high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.  

The carrying  amount  of financial  assets recorded in the financial statements, net  of any  allowances for losses, represents th e Group‟s 
maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of collateral obtained. At 30 June 2011 no such collateral had been 
obtained. (30 June 2010 : nil)

(i) Liquidity risk management 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who monitor short, medium and long term liquidity 
requirements through the use of financial models. The treasury function reports regularly to key management personnel and the Board 
on  matters  affecting  liquidity  risk.  The  Group  manages  liquidity  risk  by  maintaining  adequate  reserves,  banking  facilities  and  reserve 
borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and 
liabilities. Included in note 29(d) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Company/Group has at its disposal to further reduce 
liquidity risk. 

Liquidity and interest risk tables 

The following tables detail the Company‟s and the Group‟s remaining contractual maturity for its non–derivative financial liabilities. The 
tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which t he Group 
can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. The adjustment column represents the possible future 
cash flows attributable to the instrument included in the maturity analysis which are not included in the carrying amount of  the financial 
liability on the balance sheet.

(j) Fair value of financial instruments 

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows: 

 

 

the fair  value  of financial  assets  and financial liabilities (excluding  derivative financial instruments)  are  determined  in  accordance 
with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using pricing models based on observable current 
market transactions; and  
the fair value of derivative financial instruments are calculated using quoted market prices  

The financial statements include holdings in „available for sale‟ listed shares which are measured at fair value (note 9). 

The Directors consider that the carrying  amounts  of financial  assets  and financial  liabilities  recorded  at  amortised cost in  the financial 
statements approximates their fair values.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position 

The  following  table  provides  an  analysis  of  financial  instruments  that  are  measured  subsequent  to  initial  recognition  at  fair  value, 
grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable. 

 

 

 

Level  1  fair  value  measurements  are  those  derived  from  quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or 
liabilities. 
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable 
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 
Level 3 fair  value  measurements  are those  derived from  valuation  techniques that  include inputs for the  asset  or  liability  that  are 
not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(a) Share Based Payment Arrangements

Staff Option Plan 

The Group has in place  a  Staff Option Scheme (Scheme) to reward  employees (including Key  Management Personnel) for their  past 
services as well as to provide an incentive for future efforts. The terms and conditions of the Scheme are set out in the Scheme Rules 
with  the  Board  of  Directors  responsible  for  the  administration  of  the  Scheme.  The  options  carry  no  rights  to  dividends  and  no  voting 
rights.  The  options  expire  on  their  expiry  date.  Each  employee  share  option  converts  to  one  ordinary  share  of  Imdex  Limited  on 
exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. Options may be exercised at any time from  the date 
of vesting to the date of expiry. The number of options granted to staff is generally based on an assessment of the performance of that 
staff member as determined by the Board of Directors. Staff are  normally only eligible to receive options when they have been with the 
Company in excess of 6-12 months. Options expire when the option holder ceases to be employed by the Group.

Performance Rights Plan 

(a) Performance Rights Plan 

At the Imdex Limited Annual General Meeting  on  15 October  2009  the shareholders  approved the formation  of  a Performance Rights
Plan (PRP or Plan). The Plan allows for the issue of  performance rights to employees from time to time. The quantum of  performance 
rights  granted  to  employees  is  at  the  discretion  of  the  Directors  and  is  generally  based  on  seniority  and  level  of  contribution  to  the 
strategic  goals  of  Imdex  Limited.  A  performance  right  is  the  right  to  receive  one  fully  paid  Imdex  Limited  ordinary  share  for  nil 
consideration  should  set  hurdles  be  achieved  and  tenure  of  employment  be  maintained.  The  hurdles  are  set  by  the  Directors  when 
performance  rights  are  issued  and  are  generally  linked  to  the  achievement  of  financial  or  other  strategic  goals  of  Imdex  Limited.  If 
hurdles are achieved generally shares will be issued evenly over the 3 year period assuming continuity of employment.

Performance Rights Plan (continued) 

(b) Performance rights Granted in the current year 

Staff Performance Rights 

2,630,029 performance rights were granted to employees during the  current year in 3 tranches (Tranches 2, 3 and 4 in the table below).
Since  their  granting  157,657  of  these  performance  rights  have  expired  by  virtue  of  staff  leaving  the  employment  of  the  Imdex  Group. 
One fully paid Imdex  Limited  ordinary shares  will be issued in satisfaction  of  each performance right should specified targets be  met. 
Targets  are  typically  a  mixture  of  earnings  per  share,  total  shareholder  return,  EBITA  or  other  profitability  hurdle  combined  with  the 
requirement for  ongoing  employment tenure. Targets  are  tailored to each  employee  with due  regard to  the  business unit they  work in. 
No shares will be issued where targets are not met. Measurement against targets will only be possible once the FY11 independent audit 
report is signed in August 2011. Shares issued in satisfaction  of performance rights  will  occur  annually in 1/3 lots,  with the first 1/3 lot 
being issued after the FY11 independent audit report is signed. 

For the purposes  of the FY11 financial statements, the Directors have  made  an  estimate  of the  likelihood  of the  achievement  of FY1 1 
targets and hence the number of fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares that are likely to be  issued. An adjustment will be made in the 
next financial year should the actual number of shares issued be different from those estimated. It is estimated that out of  the 2,472,372 
remaining  performance  rights,  all will  meet  the  required  performance  hurdles  and  will  result  in  2,472,372  fully  paid  Imdex  Limited 
ordinary shares being issued over three years should employment tenure be retained. 

The  weighted  average  fair  value  of  a performance  right  at  grant  date  was  $1.50  per  right.  The  expected  total  cost  of  the  estimated 
2,472,372 fully paid  ordinary shares to be  issued  in Imdex  Limited  will  therefore be $3.7 million. This  value  will  be  expensed  over the 
vesting period from July 2010 to August 2013, with $2.0 million expensed in the current year. 

Managing Director’s Performance Rights 

196,579  performance rights were  granted to the  Managing Director on 14 October  2010 following  approval by the shareholders  at the 
Annual General Meeting.  One fully  paid  Imdex  Limited  ordinary shares  will be  issued in satisfaction  of  each performance right should 
the specified earnings per share and total shareholder return targets be met over the 3 year measurement period from FY11 to FY13.
The Managing Director is subject to two hurdles each with equal weighting. The first is that the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of Imdex 
Limited must exceed the average TSR of the ASX300 over the 3 year measurement period. The second is that the Earnings Per Share 
of Imdex Limited must exceed the average EPS of the ASX300 over the 3 year measurement period. 

Measurement against targets will only be possible once the FY13 independent audit report is signed in August 2013.

For  the  purposes  of  the  FY11  financial  statements,  the  Directors  have  made  an  estimate  of  the  likelihood  of  the  achievement  of  the 
specified targets and hence the number of fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares that are likely to be issued.  Due to the hurdle being 
market  related,  adjustment  will  not  be  made  in  future  periods  should  the  actual  number  of  shares  issued  be  different  from  those 
estimated.  It  is  estimated  that  out  of  the  196,579  performance  rights  issued,  all will  meet  the  required  performance  hurdles  and  will 
result in 196,579 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares being issued on or about August 2013 should employment tenure be retained. 

The  fair  value  of  a  performance  right  at  grant  date  was  $1.14  per  right.  The  expected  total  cost  of  the  estimated  196,579  fully  paid 
ordinary shares to  be  issued in Imdex  Limited  will  therefore  be  $0.2 million. This  value  will  be  expensed  over the  vesting period from 
October 2010 to August 2013, with $0.1 million expensed in the current year. 

(c) Performance rights Granted in the prior year 

2,262,366 performance rights  were  granted to  employees during the  prior  year. Included  in this total  were 234,375 performance rights 
granted to the Managing Director. The issue to the Managing Director was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General M eeting 
on 14 October 2009. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary share was to be issued in satisfaction of each performance right for specified 
FY10 EBITA targets met. FY10 EBITA targets were required to be met by each individual with due regard to the company and business 
unit  they  work  in.  No  shares  were  issued  where  targets  were  not  met.  Shares  issued  in  satisfaction  of  performance  rights  will  occur 
annually in 1/3 lots, with the first 1/3 lot being issued after the FY10 independent audit report is signed. 

Of the 2,262,366 performance rights issued, 458,779 met the  required performance  hurdles  and will result in  458,779 fully paid Imdex 
Limited ordinary shares being issued over three years should employment tenure be retained. Adjustments are made each year to the 
number of performance rights outstanding to reflect where employment tenure has not been maintained. 

The fair  value  of  a  performance right  at grant date  was  $0.685  per  share. The  expected  total cost  of the  estimated  458,779 fully  paid 
ordinary shares to  be  issued in Imdex  Limited  will  therefore  be  $0.3 million. This  value  will  be  expensed  over the  vesting period from 
February 2010 to August 2012, with $0.1 million expensed in the prior year.

Subsequent Events 

Effective  1  July  2011  Imdex  Limited  was  allotted  fully  paid  ordinary  shares  in  DHS  Oil  Services  Limited  (DHSO)  in  exchange  for  the 
granting of an exclusive global technology license to use its oil  and gas surveying instruments and technology. Following this allotment 
Imdex  Limited holds 50%  of the  issued share capital  of DHSO. DHSO is registered in the  British Virgin Islands  and will  operat e  an  oil 
and  gas  services  business  based  in  Dubai  using  the  technology  licensed  to  it  by  Imdex  Limited.  Imdex  Limited  will  account  for  its 
investment  in  DHSO  as  an  associate  per  Australian  Accounting  Standard  128  “Investments  in  Associates”  since  it  holds  50%  of  t he
issued capital but only 2 out of 5 Board  positions. Imdex Limited therefore has significant influence  over DHSO but does not control or 
jointly control DHSO. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the acquisition accounting 
is still being finalised. 

Effective 1 July 2011 Imdex Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Australian Drilling Specialties Pty Ltd, a drilling fluids 
manufacturer  based  in  Kwinana,  Western  Australia.  The  consideration  of  $12  million  will  be  paid  $6  million  in  cash  and  $6  million  in 
Imdex shares valued at the 5 days volume weighted average price at completion. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition 
are impractical at this stage as the acquisition accounting is still being finalised. 

On  25  July  2011  Imdex  announced  that  it  had  entered into  a  conditional  heads  of  agreement  to  purchase  100%  of  the  issued  share 
capital  of System Mud  Industria  e Comercio Ltda (System  Mud)  effective 1 August 2011. System  Mud is  a  manufacturer  and seller  of 
drilling muds in Brazil. Imdex will pay approximately $9.0 million as follows: 

 

 

 

BRL 6.7 million (approximately $4.0 million) in cash at settlement; plus 

$3.8  million  by  the  issue  of  1,600,000  fully  paid  Imdex  Limited  ordinary  shares  at  an  issue  price  of  $2.40  per  share,  to  be 
escrowed for 12 months; plus 

$1.2 million by the issue of 330,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares at an issue price of $3.50 per share. If the share 
price  on the  two  year  anniversary  of the settlement date is below  $3.50  an  additional cash payment  arises  as the difference 
between the share price at that date and $3.50 multiplied by 330,000. In the event that the Imdex share price reaches $3.50 
at any time within the two year period, the potential cash top up falls away. 

Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the due diligence process is still underway. 

Subsequent to year end the Directors declared a 2.75 cent per share fully franked dividend with an entitlement date of 7 October 2011 
and a payment date of 21 October 2011. The effect of this dividend has not been reflected in this financial report.
