CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

It  is  my  pleasure  to  announce  a  return  to  strong  profits  for  the  Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  Group  with  a  profit 
attributable  to  shareholders  of  $2.914  Million  (14+  cents  a  share)  compared  to  a  loss  of  ($8.15M)  in  the 
previous 2010 period. 

The loss last year was largely due to heavy provisioning as a consequence of the decision to close a number 
of  company  owned  stores  as  well  as  providing  for  settlement  of  franchisee  disputes,  which  have  now  been 
settled. 

With  the  cessation  of  all  legal  disputes  and  a  focussed  executive  team,  the  group  now  has  maximised 
opportunity for future growth. 

I have previously announced our shift in strategy toward sustainable franchise network growth, this is still our 
main focus. With the cessation of all  previous legal  disputes and a focused executive team the group  has a 
much enhanced chance to improve the future growth possibilities of the network.  

As at the reporting period the company's net assets per share are $0.87 cents per share including partly paid 
shares. The company has a relatively low level of bank debt.  Excluding convertible notes, the net bank debt to 
total equity was a conservative 25.5%. Assuming conversion of all convertible notes as at 30 June 2011 the 
gearing would reduce to 22.7%. 

The group now has unfettered opportunity and wherewithal to further undertake its strategic plans. 

The company will pay a final unfranked dividend of 2 cents per share in November and has already paid a 2 
cent per share interim unfranked dividend.   The record date for the final dividend is 2nd November and it is due 
to be paid on the 18 November 2011. 

Given  the  current  general  weakening  economic  and  trading  conditions,  the  group  will  look  to  continue  to 
minimise  variable  costs  and  improve  its  network  whilst  looking  at  potential  opportunities  to  deliver 
shareholders the best results. 

The Company is focused on maximising any opportunities for growth. 

I  would  like  to  take  the  opportunity  to  acknowledge  the  Executive  Team  and  the  Board's  efforts  in  this 
achievement.    The  company  has  a  coherent  and  focused  team.    I  would  particularly  like  to  thank  Anthony 
Mankarios (the Executive Director) and his executive team for their proactive commitment and resolve. 

I would also like to thank all our stakeholders for their cooperation and support and would urge shareholders 
who are convertible note holders to convert in November 2011 at the conversion rate of 30 cents per share.  
Conversion  after  the  first  anniversary  date  will  be  based  on  the  share  price  at  the  time.    Directors  holding 
convertible notes have indicated that it is their present intention to convert their convertible notes to shares in 
November 2011. 

It is appropriate to acknowledge that Directors’ have continued with their voluntary 10% reduction in Director’s 
fees, which began on 1st July 2010, having no increases since and this will continue until at least 31 December 
2011. 

I commend the Group’s prospects to you.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT  

We  are  pleased  to  advise  that  the  Company  recorded  a  net  profit  after  tax  (NPAT)  for  the  year  ending  30th 
June 2011 of $2.914 Million compared to a net loss of ($8.15 Million) for the comparative period ending 30th 
June 2010. The operating profit for the continuing business was $3.48 Million after tax compared to a loss of 
($2.8 Million) previously. 

It  is  important  to  note  that  the  Company's  Asset  Value  per  Share  has  risen  to  $0.87  including  partly  paid 
shares and that the group's net bank debt was reduced during the year to a $5.5 Million, after netting off $3.2 
Million  of  secured  bank  deposits.  The  company  also  has  $2.18  Million  of  Convertible  Notes  (CN)  on  issue 
which may  be converted after the first anniversary date starting in November 2011. Excluding CN from debt 
then the company would have a net gearing ratio of 25.5% reducing to 22.7% as at 30 June 2011 assuming 
conversion of all CN. 

The consolidated entity, Joyce Corporation Ltd, reported revenue for continuing operations to $20.7 Million this 
period to the 30th June 2011 from $21.9 Million in the previous year. Total revenue reduced from $27.2 Million 
to  $24.44  Million  over  the  same  period  as  a  result  of  the  re-structure  decision  for  company  owned  store 
closures during the reporting year.  

The Bedshed network written sales revenues increased by 2% on a year on year, like for like basis despite the 
current weak trading conditions. These conditions softened during the second half due to the highly publicised 
weakening in retail trading conditions and general economic factors relating to uncertainty with the proposed 
Carbon Tax and world economic uncertainty. 

Review of Operations 

Management focused on continuing to implement our re-structure plan and achieving improvements to overall 
efficiency. This resulted in a consolidation and re-structure of the Bedshed organisation to a level which can 
ensure ongoing future maintainable profits derived from its franchise network and its residual company stores. 

The  group  ceased  trading  at  five  of  those  six  locations  and  sold  one  company  owned  store  to  an  existing 
Franchisee, preferring to focus on Franchisee store growth. The Board reviewed the Company's policy toward 
multiple franchise store ownership. It now allows franchisees to own more than one franchise store, subject to 
strict and transparent policy criteria. The cost of all the re-structure was taken up in provisions in 2010. 
The improvement in operating profit is directly attributable to the Company's change in strategy and focus. 
The Company continues to own a significant industrial property in a prime location at Moorebank in Sydney's 
south west off the major M5- Tollway. The Land parcel is over 41,000 square metres near the Georges River 
in the City of Liverpool. 

Future Outlook 

The current economic outlook and world conditions prohibit any accurate forecasts of activity to be presented 
with  any  certainty.  As  a  result  the  board  has  decided  to  refrain  from  giving  any  further  outlook  toward  the 
group's 2012 results. 

The Company plan is to have its Bedshed business continue to grow its franchise business; we will investigate 
opportunities to reach a stronger market position and work to improve general performance. 
Joyce  Corporation  Limited  has  the  opportunity  to  leverage  its  strong  balance  sheet  to  grow  its  size  from  its 
present “micro- cap” company status, whilst taking a relatively low risk approach. The Board has undertaken to 
continue to review opportunities as they present themselves.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED) 

After date balance events 

The  Company  has  now  finalised  negotiations  and  executed  a  new  franchise  agreement  at  one  of  its  prime 
locations in WA and has signed an additional franchise agreement in a new Perth location. It has also received 
additional applications for further new franchise locations nationally.  

The Company's two Directors holding Convertible Notes (CN) have indicated to the board that they will 
seriously consider converting the Notes into ordinary shares at the first anniversary in November. It is 
anticipated as a result of this occurring that the company's net debt will be reduced further by a minimum 
$872,000. The company is optimistic that the remaining CN’s will also be converted. Assuming so, the CN 
debt will be reduced by $2.18 Million and move to equity and associated ongoing annual interest payments of 
$174,400 will cease.

and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2011. 

DIRECTORS 

The names of the Company’s Directors in office during the year ended 30 June 2010 and until the date of this report 
are as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Non-executive Director 
Executive Director  

Mr D A Smetana  
Mr T R Hantke

Mr A Mankarios  

SECRETARY 

Mr K Gray 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

During the year the principal continuing activities of the Consolidated Entity consisted of being: 

(a)  The franchisor of the Bedshed chain of retail bedding stores; and 
(b)  An owner of a number of Bedshed retail stores. 
(c)  Property Investment 

No significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Consolidated Entity occurred during the year. 

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

During the year ended 30 June 2011 (“the Financial Year”) the Consolidated Entity, achieved revenue from continuing 
operations  of  $20,730,000,000  (2010:  $21,990,000)  and  a  profit  from  continuing  operations  after  taxation  of 
$3,481,000 (2010: loss $2,838,000) and a net profit after tax of $2,914,000 (2010; loss $8,147,000). The reduction in 
revenue primarily resulted from imported furniture being arranged through an external agent. 

Profit before tax – continuing operations 

The operations of the Consolidated Entity remain strong with a continuing operations profit before tax of $1,203,000 
(2010; loss $3,012,000). 

During the Financial Year operating profitability was impacted by a number of non-recurring factors including: 

1.  The closure of some unprofitable Company-owned stores; and 
2.  The settlement of the legal actions between the Consolidated Entity and its franchisee 

The  Consolidated  Entity  has  brought  to  account  provisions  for  the  cost  of  the  above  factors  at  30  June  2011  and 
remaining provisions, in 2 above, reflect the outstanding amounts still to be paid.  

Closure of Company-owned stores 

During  the  year  ended  30  June  2011,  the  Consolidated  Entity  completed  the  closure  of  all  unprofitable  company 
owned stores that had been planned and provided for. 

Settlement of legal actions with franchisees 

During the year ended 30 June 2010, the Consolidated Entity reached a settlement with franchisees of all outstanding 
legal cases which was signed on 20 September 2010. The Consolidated Entity has brought to account a provision for 
the related costs of this settlement at 30 June 2010 and a provision for the remaining settlement was maintained at 30 
June 2011.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) 

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) 

Financial Position 

At 30 June 2011 the Consolidated Entity had equity of $17,918,000 (2010: $15,691,000); cash and cash equivalents 
of $3,780,000 (2010: $4,180,000) and unutilised debt facilities of $58,000 which has been subsequently increased by 
$300,000 post balance date (2010: $323,000) (refer to note 4 for further details). 

On  28  September  2010  the  sale  of  the  Queensland  property  classified  as  ‘held  for  sale’  at  30  June  2010  was 
completed.  Proceeds  from  this  sale  were  substantially  used  to  retire  bank  debt  to  allow  the  Consolidated  Entity  to 
reduce its interest bearing loans and borrowings by approximately $7.1 million. 

Bank Facility  

The Board is pleased to advise that the Consolidated Entity has successfully renewed its debt funding facility with the 
St  George  Bank.  This  outcome  is  indicative  of  St  George  Bank’s  understanding  and  support  of  the  Consolidated 
Entity’s  strategy.  Since  the  year  end  St  George  have  also  provided  additional  accommodation  and  agreed  some 
improved covenants, Refer Events after balance date in this Director’s Report and notes 3 and 21.  

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES 

The  Consolidated  Entity  will  look  to  further  develop  the  Bedshed  business  through  the  expansion  of  its  network  of 
franchised stores whilst seeking to improve the financial performance of Company-owned and operated stores.  

DIVIDENDS 

Dividends paid or declared during the financial year are as follows: 

Final unfranked ordinary dividend of nil (2010: 2.0 ) cents per share 
Interim unfranked ordinary dividend of 2.0 cents  (2010  nil) cents per share

After the year end the directors have declared  the payment of a final dividend out of retained profits at 30 June 2011 
of  2.0  cents  per  share  unfranked  (30  June  2010:  2.0  cents  unfranked).  The  Board  will  continue  to  review  the 
Company’s ability to pay dividends and expects to proceed with the payments of regular dividends as soon as certain 
financial milestones are achieved.

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED) 

Remuneration Policies 

The  objective  of  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  executive  reward  framework  is  to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is 
competitive  and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  with  achievement  of 
strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward. 
The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: 

•  competitiveness and reasonableness; 
•  acceptability to shareholders; 
•  performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; 
•  transparency; and 
•  capital management. 

In consultation with external remuneration consultants, where appropriate, the Consolidated Entity has structured an 
executive  remuneration  framework  that  is  market  competitive  and  complementary  to  the  reward  strategy  of  the 
organisation. 

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued) 

Alignment to shareholders’ interests: 

•  has economic profit as a core component of plan design; 
•  focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, 
and delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers 
of value; and 

•  attracts and retains high calibre executives. 

Alignment to program participants’ interests: 
•  rewards capability and experience; 
•  reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; 
•  provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and 
•  provides recognition for contribution. 

Non-executive Directors 

Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the 
Directors.  Non-executive  Directors’  fees  and  payments  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board.  The  Board  considers, 
where appropriate, the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive Directors’ fees and 
payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees 
of  non-executive  Directors  based  on  comparative  roles  in  the  external  market.  The  Chairman  is  not  present  at  any 
discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration. 

The  current  base  remuneration  was  last  reviewed  with  effect  from  30  June  2011.  The  Chairman's  remuneration  is 
inclusive  of  committee  fees  and  other  non-executive  Directors  who  are  members  of  a  committee  do  not  receive 
additional yearly fees. 

Non-executive  Directors’  fees  are  determined  within  an  aggregate  Directors’  fee  pool  limit,  which  is  periodically 
recommended  for  approval  by  shareholders.  The  maximum  currently  stands  at  $400,000  per  annum  and  was 
approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2006.

Executive pay 

Fixed Remuneration 

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the 
position  and  is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration  is reviewed annually by the  Remuneration Committee 
and  the  process  involves  the  review  of  Consolidated  Entity  and  individual  performance,  and  relevant  comparative 
remuneration in the market. 

Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentives   

The  goals  consist  of  a  number  of  key  performance  indicators  (KPI's)  covering  both  financial  and  non-financial, 
corporate and individual measures of performance.  Included in the measures are contributions to net profit before tax, 
cash targets and departmental functional KPI's. At the end of the financial year the remuneration committee assesses 
the  actual  performance  of  the  Consolidated  Entity,  the  relevant  segment  and  individual  against  the  KPIs  set  at  the 
beginning  of  the  financial  year.  Should  the  Consolidated  Entity,  or  the  relevant  segment,  achieve  the  set  KPIs,  the 
Board  will  reward  the  key  management  personnel  with  a  bonus  during  the  salary  review.  A  percentage  of  a  pre-
determined maximum amount is awarded depending on results. No bonus is awarded where performance falls below 
the minimum.

The  Consolidated  Entity  provided  executives  with  variable  remuneration  in  the  form  of  short-term  incentives  as 
described in Part A of the Remuneration Report. These incentives are payable upon the achievement of certain goals 
covering  both  financial  and  non-financial,  corporate  and  individual  measures  of  performance.    Included  in  the 
measures are contributions to net profit before tax, cash targets and departmental functional KPI's. 

The following table shows the gross revenue, profits and dividends for the last five years for the Consolidated Entity,

LOANS TO DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVES 

There were no loans outstanding to Directors and executives as at 30 June 2011. 

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

Company  and  its  Australian-based  controlled  entities,  and  senior  executives  of  the  Consolidated  Entity.  A  clause  in 
the relevant insurance policy prevents the disclosure of the amount of the premium.  

The  liabilities  insured  are  legal  costs  that  may  be  incurred  in  defending  civil  or  criminal  proceedings  that  may  be 
brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of entities in the Consolidated Entity, and any other payments 
arising  from  liabilities  incurred  by  the  officers  in  connection  with  such  proceedings.  This  does  not  include  such 
liabilities that arise from conduct involving a willful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of 
their  position  or  of  information  to  gain  advantage  for  themselves  or  someone  else  or  to  cause  detriment  to  the 
Company. It is not possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs 
and those relating to other liabilities. 

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY 

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on 
behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose of taking 
responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  (“the  Company”)  is  responsible  for  the  corporate 
governance  of  the  Company.  The  Board  monitors  the  business  affairs  of  the  Company  on  behalf  of  the 
shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. 

The  Company  has  made  it  a  priority  to  adopt  systems  of  control  and  accountability  as  the  basis  for  the 
administration  of  corporate  governance.  Some  of  these  policies  and  procedures  are  summarised  in  this 
statement.  Commensurate  with  the  spirit  of  the  August  2007  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council's 
Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ("Principles & Recommendations"), the Company 
has  followed  each  recommendation  where  the  Board  has  considered  the  recommendation  to  be  an 
appropriate benchmark for its corporate governance practices. Where the Company's corporate governance 
practices follow a recommendation, the Board has made appropriate statements reporting on the adoption of 
the recommendation. Where, after due consideration, the Company's corporate governance practices depart 
from a recommendation, the Board has offered full disclosure and reason for the adoption of its own practice.  

Further information about the Company's charters, policies and procedures may be found at the Company's 
website at www.joycecorp.com.au, under the section marked Governance.  

The  Company  has  not  established  (and  therefore  has  not  made  publicly  available)  a  formal  Nomination

The  Company  reports  below  on  how  it  has  followed  (or  otherwise  departed  from)  each  of  the  Principles  & 
Recommendations during the year ended 30 June 2011 ("Reporting Period"). 

Principle 1: Lay Solid Foundation for Management and Oversight 

Recommendation 1.1:  
Companies should establish the functions reserved to the Board and those  delegated to senior  executives 
and disclose those functions.  

Disclosure:  
The Board and senior management of the Company are committed to acting responsibly, ethically and with 
high  standards  of  integrity  as  the  Company  strives  to  create  shareholder  value.  The  Board  accepts 
responsibility  for  the  overall  corporate  governance  of  the  Company  and  has  consequently  developed  and 
adopted corporate governance practices and policies that have been implemented throughout management 
and governance.  

The Company has established the functions reserved to the Board and is in the process of formalising these 
functions  in  a  Board  Charter.  The  Board's  primary  role  is  the  optimisation  of  Company  performance  and 
protection and enhancement of shareholder value. Its functions and responsibilities includes setting strategic 
and  policy  direction,  monitoring  performance  against  strategy,  identifying  principal  risks  and  opportunities 
and  ensuring  risk  management  systems  are  established  and  reviewed,  approving  and  monitoring  financial 
reports,  capital  management,  compliance,  significant  business  transactions  and  investments,  appointing 
senior  management  and  monitoring  performance,  remuneration,  development  and  succession,  adopting 
procedures  to  ensure  the  business  of  the  Company  is  consistent  with  Company  values,  continuous 
disclosure  compliance,  ensuring  effective  shareholder  communication,  ensuring  the  Board  remains 
appropriately skilled, reviewing and approving corporate governance systems and enhancing and protecting 
the Company's reputation.

with a formal letter of appointment setting out key terms and conditions of the appointment their duties and 
responsibilities,  the  role  of  the  Board  and  committees,  the  Company's  constitution  and  the  Company's 
policies.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED) 

Principle 1: Lay Solid Foundation for Management and Oversight (continued) 

The Company has established the functions delegated to senior executives and will set out these functions in 
its Board Charter. Senior executives are responsible for supporting the Executive Director and assisting the 
Executive  Director  in  implementing  the  running  of  the  general  operations  and  financial  business  of  the 
Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board. 

Recommendation 1.2:  
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.  

Disclosure:  
Evaluation of the Executive Director is carried out by the Remuneration Committee each year together with 
the ongoing monitoring of management and Company performance, with informal discussions undertaken as 
required. The Executive Director conducts a formal review each  year assessing the performance of Senior 
Executives and reports back to the Board.  

Recommendation 1.3:  
Companies should provide the information indicated in the “Guide to reporting on Principle 1.”  

Disclosure:  
The  Remuneration  Committee  conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  Executive  Director  in  June  2011.  The 
remuneration  committee  conducted  an  evaluation  of  Senior  Executives  in  June  2011.  The  performance 
evaluation was undertaken in accordance with the process disclosed above. 

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value  

Recommendation 2.1:  
A majority of the Board should be independent Directors. 

Disclosure:  
The  Board  is  currently  comprised  of  four  Directors  with  three  being  non-executive  Directors,  including  the 
Chairman and one executive Director. The Company does not comply with this recommendation, as two of 
the four Directors are considered independent. 

The independent Directors of the Company are: 

• 
• 

Mr M Gurry (Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee) 
Mr T Hantke (Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee) 

The  Board  regularly  assesses  the  independence  of  each  Director  with  the  intention  to  have  a  majority  of 
Directors  being  independent.  Each  Director  is  required  to  provide  to  the  Board  all  relevant  information  to 
assist the Board in this regard. 

The  Board  will  continue  to  monitor  developments  and  consider  any  guidelines  that  may  be  issued  with 
respect to the maximum tenure of Directors in order to meet ‘independence’ guidelines.  

Explanation for Departure: 
Following the resignation of Mr R Mahoney, the Company’s former Managing Director in March 2010, Mr A 
Mankarios  has  become  an  Executive  Director  thus  precluding  him  from  being  considered  an  independent 
Director for the purposes of this recommendation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED) 

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued) 

Recommendation 2.2:  
The Chair should be an independent Director.  

Disclosure:  
The Chairman is not considered independent due to the size of the shareholding in his control.  

Explanation for Departure: 
The  Board  has  decided  to  continue  with  Mr  D  Smetana  as  Chairman  in  recognition  of  his  considerable 
experience with the Company and expertise that complements the skills and experience of the other Board 
members. The Company deals with the lack of independence of the Chairman by ensuring that conflicts of 
interest are adequately disclosed and the Chairman abstains from voting on matters where they have, or it is 
perceived they have, a beneficial interest in the outcome of the matters. 

Recommendation 2.3:  
The roles of the Chair and Managing Director should not be exercised by the same individual.  

Disclosure:  
The  Managing  Director  was  Mr  R  Mahoney  until  12  March  2010  who  was  not  Chair  of  the  Board.  The 
Executive  Director  (Anthony  Mankarios)  has  taken  over  all  operational  and  corporate  supervision 
responsibility. 

Recommendation 2.4:  
The Board should establish a Nomination Committee.  

Disclosure:  
The Company has not established a separate Nomination Committee.  

Explanation for Departure:  
The  Board  considers  the  present  Directors  are  able  to  discharge  the  responsibilities  of  a  Director,  having 
regards to the law and the highest standards of governance. Should a vacancy exist, for whatever reason, or 
where  considered  that  the  Board  would  benefit  from  the  services  of  a  new  Director,  the  Board  will  select 
appropriate candidates  with relevant qualifications, skills and experience. The  Board has not established  a 
separate Nomination Committee as, due to the Company's size, the simplicity of its operations, the Board's 
size  and  the  cost  effectiveness  of  the  Board's  current  operations,  the  Board  considers  such  a  separate 
Nomination Committee is not warranted or commercially viable and its functions and responsibilities can be 
adequately  and  efficiently  discharged  by  the  Board  as  a  whole.  The  Board  assesses  the  experience, 
knowledge and expertise of potential Directors before any appointment is made.  

Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Nomination Committee are marked as separate agenda 
items at Board meetings when required. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when 
convening in the capacity of Nomination Committee by ensuring the Director with conflicting interests is not 
party to the relevant discussions. 

Recommendation 2.5:  
Companies  should  disclose  the  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees  and 
individual Directors.  

Disclosure:  
The Company has adopted self-evaluation  processes to measure Board performance. The performance of 
all Directors is assessed through analysis and review by, and discussion with, the Chair on issues relating to 
individual  Directors'  attendance  at  and  involvement  in  Board  meetings,  interaction  with  management, 
performance of allocated tasks and any other matters identified by the Chair or other Directors. Evaluation of 
any Board committees is conducted on a similar basis. Due to the Board's assessment of the effectiveness 
of  these  processes,  the  Board  has  not  formalised  qualitative  performance  indicators  to  measure  individual 
Director’s performance.

Recommendation 2.6:  
Companies should provide the information indicated in the “Guide to reporting on Principle 2.”  

Disclosure:  

Skills, Experience, Expertise and Term of Office of each Director  
The composition of the Board has been determined on the basis of providing the Company with the benefit of 
a  broad  range  of  commercial,  administrative  and  financial  skills,  combined  with  an  appropriate  level  of 
experience at a senior corporate  level. The names and further information regarding the skills, experience, 
qualifications, relevant expertise and term of office of the Directors are set out in the most recent Directors’ 
Report.  

Board Access to Information and Independent Advice 
All  Directors  have  access  to  employees  and,  subject  to  the  law,  access  to  all  Company  records  and 
information  held  by  employees  and  external  advisers.  The  Board  receives  regular  detailed  financial  and 
operational reports from senior management to enable it to carry out its duties. 

Consistent with ASX Principle 2, the Company allows each Director to seek individual external advice at the 
expense of the Company. 

Committees of the Board 
The Board has established an Audit Committee and  a Remuneration Committee to assist the Board  in the 
discharge of its responsibly. 

Further  information  about  the  Audit  Committee  is  provided  in  the  statement  under  Principal  4:  Safeguard 
Integrity in Financial Reporting. 

Further  information  about  the  Remuneration  Committee  is  provided  in  the  statement  under  Principal  8: 
Remunerate Fairly and Responsibility. 

Identification of Independent Directors 
The  policy  on  Director  Independence  defines  an  independent  Director  as  a  non-executive  Director  (not  a 
member of management) and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or 
could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the independent exercise of their judgment.  

In determining the independent status of a Director the Board considers whether the Director:  

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

is  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the  Company  or  an  officer  of,  or  otherwise  associated  directly  or 
indirectly with, a substantial shareholder the Company;  
is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another 
group  member,  and  there  has  not  been  a  period  of  at  least  three  years  between  ceasing  such 
employment and serving on the Board;  
has  within  the  last  three  years  been  a  principal  of  a  material  professional  adviser  or  a  material 
consultant to the Company, or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the 
service provider;  
is  a  material  supplier  or  customer  of  the  Company,  or  another  group  member,  or  an  officer  of  or 
otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;  
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member, other than as a 
Director of the Company.  

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both a quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over 
5% of annual turnover or 5% of the individual Director’s net assets is considered material for these purposes.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued) 

Nomination Matters  
The full Board carries out the role of the Nomination Committee. The full Board did not officially convene as a 
Nomination  Committee  during  the  Reporting  Period,  however  the  Board  discusses  nominated-related 
matters  from  time  to  time  during  the  year  as  required.  The  explanation  for  departure  set  out  under 
Recommendation 2.4 above explains how the functions of the Nomination Committee are performed.  

Performance Evaluation  
During  the  Reporting  Period  no  review  or  evaluation  of  the  performance  of  the  Board,  individual  Directors 
and applicable Committees was undertaken in accordance  with the process disclosed  at Recommendation 
2.5.  

Selection and (Re)/Appointment of Directors  
The  Company  has  not  established  (and  therefore  has  not  made  publicly  available)  a  formal  Policy  and 
Procedure for Selection and (Re)/Appointment of Directors.  

In determining candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) considers the balance of 
independent  Directors  on  the  Board  as  well  as  the  skills  and  qualifications  of  potential  candidates  that  will 
best enhance the Board's effectiveness.  

The  Board  recognises  that  Board  renewal  is  critical  to  performance  and  the  impact  of  Board  tenure  on 
succession  planning.  Under  the  Company's  constitution,  at  every  annual  general  meeting  one  third  of  the 
Directors (except the Managing Director) must retire from office and is eligible for re-election at that meeting. 
The  Directors  to  retire  must  be  those  who  have  been  longest  in  office  since  their  last  election  and,  in  any 
event, Directors cannot hold office for more than three  years without submitting themselves for re-election. 
Re-appointment of Directors is not automatic.

and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

by Directors. The Code  is based  on a code of conduct for Directors prepared by  the Australian Institute of

justice, independence and equality of shareholder opportunity. 

The principles of the Code are:

with the interests of the Company. 
A Director has an obligation to be  independent in judgment and actions  and  to take all reasonable 
steps to be satisfied as to the soundness of all decisions taken by the Board. 
Confidential  information  received  by  a  Director  in  the  course  of  the  exercise  of  directional  duties 
remains  the  property  of  the  Company  and  it  is  improper  to  disclose  it,  or  allow  it  to  be  disclosed, 
unless  that  disclosure  has  been  authorised  by  the  Company,  or  the  person  from  whom  the 
information is provided, or is required by law.

customers, Franchisees, suppliers and  all third  parties with  whom they  have contact in the performance of 
their  duties.  In  addition,  all  employees  have  a  responsibility  to  adhere  to  the  Code  and  ensure  that  no 
breaches occur. An employee who breaches the Code may face disciplinary action. 
If  an  employee  suspects  that  a  breach  of  the  Code  has  occurred  or  will  occur,  he  or  she  must  report  that 
breach to the appropriate Company manager. 

No employee will be disadvantaged or prejudiced if he or she reports in good faith a suspected breach. All

Corporations Legislation under certain circumstances.

lies with the Company Secretary, in consultation with the Managing Director/Executive Director.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1.  CORPORATE INFORMATION 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  (“the  Company”)  for  the  year  ended  30 
June  2011  were  authorised  for  issue  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  directors  of  the  Company 
dated 27 September 2011. Joyce Corporation Ltd is a Company incorporated in Australia and limited by 
shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

The  nature  of  the  operation  and  principal  activities  of  the  Company  and  its  controlled  entities  are 
described in note 6. 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Joyce Corporation Ltd and its 
controlled subsidiaries (‘the Consolidated Entity’). 

(a) 

Basis of preparation 

This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting 
Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting  Standards Board (including 
Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  has  implemented  the  Corporations  Amendment  Regulations  2010  (No  6) 
regarding  the  requirement  to  disclose  parent  entity  information  as  a  note  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements. Parent entity information is presented in note 32. 

Compliance with IFRS 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  include  Australian  equivalents  to  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of the Consolidated Entity 
complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). 

Historical cost convention 
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  AIFRS  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the 
Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 
5. 

(b) 

Principles of consolidation 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  (including  special  purpose  entities)  over  which  the  Company  has  the 
power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating  policies,  generally  accompanying  a  shareholding  of  more 
than  one-half  of  the  voting  rights.  The  existence  and  effect  of  potential  voting  rights  that  are  currently 
exercisable  or  convertible  are  considered  when  assessing  whether  the  Consolidated  Entity  controls 
another entity. 

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 26 to the financial statements." 

The  consolidation  accounting  method  used  for  the  consolidated  financial  statements  that  include  the 
financial  statements  made  up  to  the  reporting  date  each  year  of  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  is 
disclosed  under  the  note  on  'Business  Combinations'  below.    Consolidated  financial  statements  are  the 
financial  statements  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  presented  as  those  of  a  single  economic  entity.    The 
consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and 
other events in similar circumstances.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(b) 

Principles of consolidation (continued) 

All  significant  intra-Consolidated  Entity  balances  and  transactions,  including  income,  expenses  and 
dividends,  are  eliminated  in  full  on  consolidation.    The  results  of  the  investees  acquired  or  disposed  of 
during the financial year are accounted for from the respective dates of acquisition or up to the dates of 
disposal.  On disposal, the attributable amount of goodwill, if any, is included in the determination of the 
gain or loss on disposal. 

Minority  interests,  being  that  portion  of  the  profit  or  loss  and  net  assets  of  subsidiaries  attributable  to 
equity interests held by persons outside the group, are shown separately within the Equity section of the 
consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position  and  in  the  consolidated  Statement  of  Comprehensive 
Income. 

Business combinations 

(c) 
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 
Consolidated  Entity  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  accounting  standards. 
Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised. 

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Consolidated Entity’s previously held interests 
in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Consolidated 
Entity 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 a 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  Consolidated  Entity  of  an 
acquiree’ 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 Non-
current 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 occurs, the Consolidated Entity reports provisional amounts for the terms 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 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.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(d) 

Segment reporting 

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated 
Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to 
the segments and to assess their performance.  

Foreign currency translation 

(e) 
Functional and presentation currency 
Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  entities  are  measured 
using  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (‘the  functional 
currency’).  The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  Dollars,  which  is  the 
Consolidated Entity’s presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the 
settlement of such transactions and from the translation, at year end exchange rates, of monetary assets 
and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income,  except  when  they  are  deferred  in  equity  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and  qualifying  net 
investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation. 

Translation  differences  on  non-monetary  financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  reported  as  part  of  the  fair 
value  gain  or  loss.  Translation  differences  on  non-monetary  financial  assets  and  liabilities  such  as 
equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain 
or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available 
for sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity. 

All companies of the Consolidated Entity have Australian Dollars as a functional currency. 

Revenue recognition 

(f) 
Revenue  is  recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  the  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the 
Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria 
must also be met before revenue is recognised: 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer 
of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those 
goods. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon completion of the service to customers. 

Interest income  
Interest  income  is  recognised  using  the  effective  interest  rate  method,  which,  for  floating  rate  financial 
assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. 

Dividend income  
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.  

Franchise revenue 
Revenue from franchising activities is recognised based on business written sales from franchised stores. 

Rental revenue 
Rental revenue is recognised monthly as defined in the relevant lease agreements. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Income tax 

(g) 
The  income  tax  expense  or  revenue  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  current  period’s  taxable 
income  based  on  the  national  income  tax rate  for  each  jurisdiction  adjusted  by  changes  in  deferred  tax 
assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  in  full,  using  the  liability  method,  on  temporary  differences  arising 
between  the  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements.  However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an 
asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  other  than  a  business  combination  that  at  the  time  of  the  transaction 
affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss.  Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates 
(and  laws)  that  have  been  enacted  or  substantially  enacted  by  the  reporting  date  and  are  expected  to 
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying 
amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the 
timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax 
assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.  Current 
tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends 
either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Current  and  deferred  tax  balances  attributable  to  amounts  recognised  directly  in  equity  are  also 
recognised directly in equity. 

Tax Consolidation 

Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian  subsidiaries  have  formed  an  income  tax 
consolidated  group  under  tax  consolidation  legislation.    Each  entity  in  the  group  recognises  its  own 
current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ 
approach  to  allocation.    Current  tax  liabilities  (assets)  and  deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  unused  tax 
losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.    

The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply 
from  1  July  2003.  The  tax  consolidated  group  has  entered  a  tax  funding  arrangement  whereby  each 
company  in  the  group  contributes  to  the  income  tax  payable  by  the  group  in  proportion  to  their 
contribution  to  the  group’s  taxable  income.  Differences  between  the  amounts  of  net  tax  assets  and 
liabilities  derecognised  and  the  net  amounts  recognised  pursuant  to  the  funding  arrangement  are 
recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

Hire purchases and leases 

(h) 
Hire  purchases  and  leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  where  the  Consolidated  Entity,  as  lessee, 
has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases 
are  capitalised  at  the  lease’s  inception  at  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  property  or,  if  lower,  the  present 
value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are 
included  in  other  short  term  and  long  term  payables.    Each  lease  payment  is  allocated  between  the 
liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the 
lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability 
for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over 
the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. 

Leases  in  which  a  significant  portion  of  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  not  transferred  to  the 
Consolidated Entity as lessee are classified as operating leases.  Payments made under operating leases 
(net of any  incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income 
on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

Lease income from operating leases  where the Consolidated Entity  is a lessor is recognised as income 
on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

(i) 
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are 
tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they 
might  be  impaired.    Other  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.    An  impairment  loss  is 
recognised  for  the  amount  by  which  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The 
recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use.  For  the 
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of 
assets  (cash  generating  units).    Non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  that  suffered  impairment  are 
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

(j) 
Cash and cash  equivalents includes cash on hand,  deposits held at call  with financial institutions, other 
short  term,  highly  liquid  investments  with  original  maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, 
and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of 
financial position. 

Trade receivables 

(k) 
Trade  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost 
using the effective interest method, less a provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due 
for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability  of  trade  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Debts  which  are  known  to  be 
uncollectible are written off.  A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is 
objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the 
original terms of the receivables.  Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor 
will  enter  bankruptcy  or  financial  reorganisation,  and  default  or  delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  30 
days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Trade receivables (Continued) 

(k) 
The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value 
of  estimated  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.    Cash  flows  relating  to 
short  term  receivables  are  not  discounted  if  the  effect  of  discounting  is  immaterial.    The  amount  of  the 
provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in other expenses. 

Inventories 

(l) 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises expenditure incurred 
in acquiring the inventories and in bringing them to their existing condition and location. 

Costs  are  assigned  to  individual  items  of  inventory  on  a  basis  of  weighted  average  costs.  Costs  of 
purchased  inventory  are  determined  after  deducting  rebates  and  discounts.  Net  realisable  value  is  the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Fair value estimation 

(m) 
The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and 
measurement or for disclosure purposes. 

The  carrying  value  less  impairment  provision  of  trade  receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to 
approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short  term  nature.  The  fair  value  of  financial  liabilities  for 
disclosure  purposes  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future  contractual  cash  flows  at  the  current  market 
interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments. 

(n) 

Investments and other financial assets 

Classification 
The  Consolidated  Entity  classifies  its  financial  assets  in  the  following  categories:  financial  assets  at  fair 
value  through  profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  held-to-maturity  investments  and  available-for-sale 
financial assets. 

The  classification  depends  on  the  purpose  for  which  the  investments  were  acquired.  Management 
determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as 
held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. 

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is 
classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are 
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified 
as current assets. 

(ii) Loans and receivables 

Loans  and  receivables  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are 
not  quoted  in  an  active  market.  They  are  included  in  current  assets,  except  for  those  with  maturities 
greater  than  12  months  after  the  reporting  date  which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.  Loans  and 
receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position. 

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments 

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and 
fixed maturities that the Consolidated Entity’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to 
maturity.  If  the  Consolidated  Entity  were  to  sell  other  than  an  insignificant  amount  of  held-to-maturity 
financial  assets,  the  whole  category  would  be  tainted  and  reclassified  as  available-for-sale.  Held-to-
maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 
months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.

(n) 

Investments and other financial assets (Continued) 

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets  

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives 
that  are  either  designated  in  this  category  or  not  classified  in  any  of  the  other  categories.  They  are 
included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months 
of the reporting date. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities 
and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. 

Recognition and derecognition 
Regular  purchases  and  sales  of  financial  assets  are  recognised  on  trade-date  -  the  date  on  which  the 
Consolidated  Entity  commits  to  purchase  or  sell  the  asset.  Investments  are  initially  recognised  at  fair 
value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial 
assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs 
are  expensed  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income.  Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the 
rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  financial  assets  have  expired  or  have  been  transferred  and  the 
Consolidated Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

When  securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  are  sold,  the  accumulated  fair  value  adjustments 
recognised  in  equity  are  included  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  as  gains  and  losses  from 
investment securities. 

Subsequent measurement 
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method. 

Available-for-sale  financial  assets  and  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  are 
subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial 
assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss'  category  are  presented  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income  within  other  income  or  other  expenses  in  the  period  in  which  they  arise.  Dividend  income  from 
financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  and  loss  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income  as  part  of  revenue  from  continuing  operations  when  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  right  to  receive 
payments is established. 

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  monetary  securities  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  and  classified  as 
available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost 
of  the  security  and  other  changes  in  the  carrying  amount  of  the  security.  The  translation  differences 
related to changes  in the amortised cost are recognised  in  profit or  loss, and  other changes  in carrying 
amount  are  recognised  in  equity.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  other  monetary  and  non-monetary 
securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. 

Impairment 
The  Consolidated  Entity  assesses  at  each  reporting  date  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a 
financial  asset  or  a  group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  In  the  case  of  equity  securities  classified  as 
available-for-sale,  a  significant  or  prolonged  decline  in  the  fair  value  of  a  security  below  its  cost  is 
considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-
sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and 
the current fair value,  less  any  impairment loss on  that financial asset  previously  recognised in profit or 
loss  -  is  removed  from  equity  and  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income.  Impairment 
losses  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  on  equity  instruments  classified  as 
available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.

Financial Guarantees 
Where  material,  financial  guarantees  issued,  which    requires  the  issuer  to  make  specified  payments  to 
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are 
recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition. 

The  guarantee  is  subsequently  measured  at  the  higher  of  the  best  estimate  of  the  obligation  and  the 
amount  initially  recognised  less,  when  appropriate,  cumulative  amortisation  in  accordance  with  AASB 
118:  Revenue.   Where  the  entity  gives  guarantees  in  exchange  for  a  fee,  revenue  is  recognised  under 
AASB 118. 

The  fair  value  of  financial  guarantee  contracts  has  been  assessed  using  a  probability  weighted 
discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on: 

– 
– 

– 

the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period; 
the  proportion  of  the  exposure  that  is  not  expected  to  be  recovered  due  to  the  guaranteed  party 
defaulting; and 
the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default. 

Derivatives and hedging activities 

(o) 
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are 
subsequently  remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each  reporting  date.  The  accounting  for  subsequent 
changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, 
the nature of the item being hedged. The Consolidated Entity designates certain derivatives as either: 

•  hedges  of  the  fair  value  of  recognised  assets  or  liabilities  or  a  firm  commitment  (fair  value 

hedges), 

•  hedges  of  the  cash  flows  of  recognised  assets  and  liabilities  and  highly  probable  forecast 

transactions (cash flow hedges), or 

•  hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedges). 

The Consolidated Entity documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between 
hedging  instruments  and  hedged  items,  as  well  as  its  risk  management  objective  and  strategy  for 
undertaking various hedge transactions. The Consolidated Entity also documents its assessment, both at 
hedge  inception  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  of  whether  the  derivatives  that  are  used  in  hedging 
transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash 
flows of hedged items. 

Property, plant and equipment 

(p) 
Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external 
independent  valuers,  less  subsequent  depreciation  for  buildings.    Any  accumulated  depreciation  at  the 
date  of  revaluation  is  eliminated  against  the  gross  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  and  the  net  amount  is 
restated  to  the  revalued  amount  of  the  asset.    All  other  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at 
historical  cost  less  depreciation.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the 
acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as 
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the 
Consolidated  Entity  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  The  carrying  amount  of  the 
replaced  part  is  derecognised.    All  other  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows: 

•  Plant and equipment - 1 to 20 years; 
•  Leased plant and equipment - over 5 to 6 years; and  
•  Leasehold improvements – 3 to 20 years.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

(p) 
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
date.  An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s 
carrying  amount  is  greater  than  its  estimated  recoverable  amount.Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are 
determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount.    These  are  included  in  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income.  When revalued assets are sold, it is the Consolidated Entity’s policy to transfer 
the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings. 

Investment property 

(q) 
Investment  property,  which  is  property  held  to  earn  rentals  and/or  for  capital  appreciation  (including 
property  under  construction  for  such  purposes),  is  measured  initially  at  its  cost,  including  transaction 
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains and losses 
arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in 
which they arise. 

(r) 

Intangible assets 

Acquired both separately and from a business combination 
Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Following initial recognition, the cost model 
is applied to the class of intangible assets. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this 
expense  is  taken  to  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  through  the  ‘amortisation  expenses’  line 
item. 

Intangible  assets,  excluding  development  costs,  created  within  the  business  are  not  capitalised  and 
expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred intangible assets 
are  tested  for  impairment  where  an  indicator  of  impairment  exists  and  in  the  case  of  indefinite  lived 
intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined 
on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. 

(i) Goodwill 

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  an  acquisition  over  the  fair  value  of  the  Consolidated 
Entity’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. 
Goodwill  on  acquisitions  of  subsidiaries  is  included  in  intangible  assets.  Goodwill  on  acquisitions  of 
associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested 
for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be 
impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of 
an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. 

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cash-
generating  units  represents  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  investment  in  each  country  of  operation  by  each 
operating segment. Cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated is as follows: 

•  Bedshed Franchising cash generating unit 
•  Bedshed Claremont cash generating unit 
•  Bedshed Joondalup cash generating unit 

(ii) IT development and software 

Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses 
that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are 
capitalised  to  software  and  systems.  Costs  capitalised  include  external  direct  costs  of  materials  and 
service, direct payroll and  payroll related costs  of employees’ time spent on the project.  Amortisation is 
calculated on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. IT development costs 
include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are only recognised following 
completion  of  technical  feasibility  and  where  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  an  intention  and  ability  to  use 
the asset.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Trade and other payables 

(s) 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the 
reporting  date  which  are  unpaid.    The  amounts  are  unsecured  and  are  usually  paid  within  45  days  of 
recognition. 

Provisions 

(t) 
Provisions  for  legal  claims,  service  warranties  and  make  good  obligations  are  recognised  when  the 
Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable 
that  an  outflow  of  resources  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation  and  the  amount  has  been  reliably 
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. 

Where  there  are  a  number  of  similar  obligations,  the  likelihood  that  an  outflow  will  be  required  in 
settlement  is  determined  by  considering  the  class  of  obligations  as  a  whole.    A  provision  is  recognised 
even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations 
may be small. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of Management’s best estimate of the expenditure required 
to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  the  reporting  date.    The  discount  rate  used  to  determine  the  present 
value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. 
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense. 

Employee benefits 

(u) 
(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave and sick leave  

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  and  annual  leave  expected  to  be 
settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' 
services  up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the 
liabilities are settled. 

(ii) Long service leave 

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as 
the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees 
up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future 
wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee  departures  and  periods  of  service.  Expected  future 
payments  are  discounted  using  market  yields  at  the  reporting  date  on  national  government  bonds  with 
terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

(iii) Profit-sharing and bonus plans 

The Consolidated Entity recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a 
formula  that  takes  into  consideration  the  profit  attributable  to  the  Company’s  shareholders  after  certain 
adjustments. The Consolidated Entity recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there 
is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. 

(iv) Termination benefits 

Termination  benefits are  payable  when  employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or 
when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Consolidated Entity 
recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment 
of  current  employees  according  to  a  detailed  formal  plan  without  possibility  of  withdrawal  or  providing 
termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due 
more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Borrowings 

(v) 
Borrowings  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value,  net  of  transaction  costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any  difference  between  the  proceeds  (net  of  transaction 
costs)  and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  over  the 
period  of  the  borrowings  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Fees  paid  on  the  establishment  of  loan 
facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised 
as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Bank loans are carried 
at amortised cost. Transaction costs are deducted against the outstanding principal amount at amortised 
cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Convertible notes 

(w) 
Convertible  notes  are  compound  financial  instruments  with  separate  liability  and  equity  components 
identified  on  initial  recognition.    Transaction  costs  are  deducted  against  the  liability  component  of  the 
these financial instruments at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. 

Contributed equity 

(x) 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new  shares  or  options  are  shown  in  equity  as  a 
deduction,  net  of  tax,  from  the  proceeds.    Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new 
shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of 
the purchase consideration. 

If  the  entity  reacquires  its  own  equity  instruments,  e.g.  as  the  result  of  a  share  buy-back,  those 
instruments  are  deducted  from  equity  and  the  associated  shares  are  cancelled.    No  gain  or  loss  is 
recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental 
costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity. 

Dividends 

(y) 
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer 
at  the  discretion  of  the  entity,  on  or  before  the  end  of  the  financial  year  but  not  distributed  at  reporting 
date. 

Earnings per share 
(z) 
(i) Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of 
ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the  financial  year,  adjusted  for  bonus  elements  in  ordinary  shares 
issued during the year. 

(ii) Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  figures  used  in  the  determination  of  basic  earnings  per  share  to 
take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive 
potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have 
been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

Comparatives 

(aa) 
When required by applicable accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform 
to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 

Rounding of Amounts 

(bb) 
The  Company  has  applied  the  relief  available  to  it  under  ASIC  Class  Order  98/100  and  accordingly, 
amounts in the financial report and directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

(cc)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues, expenses and  assets are recognised  net  of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority.  In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the 
amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.    The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the 
taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

AASB 9 Financial 
Instruments  

AASB 2009-11 
Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards 
arising from AASB 9  

AASB 139 Financial 
Instruments: 
Recognition and 
Measurement (part)  

AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the 
classification and measurement of financial assets and 
liabilities. AASB 9 uses a single approach to 
determine whether a financial asset is measured at 
amortised cost or fair value, replacing the many 
different rules in AASB 139 and removes the 
impairment requirement for financial assets held at 
fair value.  

In addition, the majority of requirements from AASB 
139 for the classification and measurement of 
financial liabilities has been carried forward 
unchanged, except in relation to own credit risk 
where an entity takes the option to measure financial 
liabilities at fair value. AASB 9 requires the amount 
of the change in fair value due to changes in the 
entity’s own credit risk to be presented in other 
comprehensive income (OCI), unless there is an 
accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, in which 
case all gains or losses are to be presented in the 
profit or loss.  

The requirements from AASB 139 related to the 
derecognition of financial assets and liabilities have 
been incorporated unchanged into AASB 9. 

31 December 2013  

AASB 9 amends the 
classification and measurement 
of financial assets; the effect 
on the entity will be that more 
assets are held at fair value and 
the need for impairment testing 
has been limited to assets held 
at amortised cost only.  

Minimal changes have been 
made in relation to the 
classification and measurement 
of financial liabilities, except 
‘own credit risk’ instruments. 
The effect on the entity will be 
that the volatility in the profit 
or loss will be moved to the 
OCI, unless there is an 
accounting mismatch.

Likely impact  

Depending on assets 
held, there may be 
significant movement of 
assets between fair 
value and cost 
categories and ceasing 
of impairment testing on 
available for sale assets.  

If the entity holds any 
‘own credit risk’ 
financial liabilities, the 
fair value gain or loss 
will be incorporated in 
the OCI, rather than 
profit or loss, unless 
accounting mismatch.

Tier 2 entities that prepare

The requirements for classifying and measuring 
financial liabilities were added to AASB 9. The 
existing requirements for the classification of 
financial liabilities and the ability to use the fair value 
option have been retained. However, where the fair 
value option is used for financial liabilities the change 
in fair value is accounted for as follows:  
a)  The change attributable to changes in credit risk 

are presented in other comprehensive income 
(OCI)  

b)  The remaining change is presented in profit or 

loss  

If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting 
mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the 
changes in credit risk are also presented in profit or 
loss.

AASB 2010-8 Amendments 
to Australian Accounting 
Standards - Deferred Tax: 
Recovery of Underlying 
Assets [AASB 112]  

31 December 2012  

These amendments address the determination of 
deferred tax on investment property measured at fair 
value and introduce a rebuttable presumption that 
deferred tax on investment property measured at fair 
value should be determined on the basis that the 
carrying amount will be recoverable through sale. The 
amendments also incorporate SIC-21 Income Taxes - 
Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into 
AASB 112. 

The amendments brought in by 
this Standard introduce a more 
practical approach for 
measuring deferred tax 
liabilities and deferred tax 
assets when investment 
property is measured using the 
fair value model under AASB 
140: Investment Property.  

Under the current AASB 112, 
the measurement of deferred 
tax liabilities and deferred tax 
assets depends on whether an 
entity expects to recover an 
asset by using it or by selling 
it. The amendments introduce 
a presumption that an 
investment property is 
recovered entirely through 
sale. This presumption is 
rebutted if the investment 
property is held within a 
business model whose 
objective is to consume 
substantially all of the 
economic benefits embodied in 
the investment property over 
time, rather than through sale.

IFRS 10 establishes a new control model that applies 
to all entities. It replaces parts of IAS 27 
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements 
dealing with the accounting for consolidated financial 
statements and SIC-12 Consolidation - Special 
Purpose Entities.  
The new control model broadens the situations when 
an entity is considered to be controlled by another 
entity and includes new guidance for applying the 
model to specific situations, including when acting as 
a manager may give control, the impact of potential 
voting rights and when holding less than a majority 
voting rights may give control. This is likely to lead to 
more entities being consolidated into the group.  

Entities most likely to 
be impacted are those 
that:  
- 

have significant, 
but not a majority 
equity interests in 
other entities;  
hold potential voting 
rights over investments , 
such as options  

IFRS 11  

IFRS 12  

IAS 27  

IAS 28  

IAS 31  

It introduces a new, principle-
based definition of control 
which will apply to all 
investees to determine the 
scope of consolidation.  

Traditional control 
assessments based on majority 
ownership of voting rights will 
very rarely be affected. 
However, 'borderline' 
consolidation decisions will 
need to be reviewed and some 
will need to be changed taking 
into consideration potential 
voting rights and substantive 
rights.

Joint Arrangements1  

IAS 31  

SIC 13  

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures 
and SIC-13 Jointly- controlled Entities - Non-
monetary Contributions by  
Ventures. IFRS 11 uses the principle of control in 
IFRS 10 to define joint control, and therefore the 
determination of whether joint control exists may 
change. In addition IFRS 11 removes the option to 
account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using 
proportionate consolidation. Instead, accounting for a 
joint arrangement is dependent on the nature of the 
rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. 
Joint operations that give the venturers a right to the 
underlying assets and obligations themselves is 
accounted for by recognising the share of those assets 
and obligations. Joint ventures that give the venturers 
a right to the net assets is accounted for using the 
equity method. This may result in a change in the 
accounting for the joint arrangements held by the 
group.

Entities with existing joint

enter into new joint 
arrangements will be affected 
by the new standard. These 
entities will need to assess 
their arrangements to

of the new standard or upon 
entering into the arrangement.

Entities that have been

will account for the joint 
venture using the equity 
method. In addition, there may 
be some entities that 
previously equity-accounted

to account for their share of 
assets and liabilities now that 
there is less focus on the

Fair Value Measurement1 

None  

31 December 2013  

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under 
IFRS for determining the fair value of assets and 
liabilities. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is 
required to use fair value, but rather, provides 
guidance on how to determine fair value under IFRS 
when fair value is required or permitted by IFRS. 
Application of this definition may result in different 
fair values being determined for the relevant assets.  
IFRS 13 also expands the disclosure requirements for 
all assets or liabilities carried at fair value. This 
includes information about the assumptions made and 
the qualitative impact of those assumptions on the fair 
value determined.

IFRS 13 has been created to:

3.  GOING CONCERN 
At  30  June  2011,  the  Consolidated  Entity  has  recorded  a  profit  before  tax  of  $1,203,000  for  continuing 
operations and $636,000 after tax before including discontinued operations and reported an overall profit 
after  tax  of  $2,914,000  with  positive  operating  cash  flows  totalling  $2,504,000  before  franchisee  legal 
settlement payments and store closure costs.  

There were no breaches of bank lending covenants (refer Note 21) at reporting date and no breaches up 
to the date of this report. 

A convertible note rights issue was undertaken during the year to support company restructuring and the 
convertible notes were fully subscribed for the issue of $2.18 million. 

Subsequent to the year end the Consolidated Entity has continued to service the loan facilities to the date 
of these financial statements in accordance  with  the  terms of that facility and further accommodation  of 
$300,000  has  been  approved  by  St  George  Bank  to  assist  with  working  capital  and  legal  settlement 
purposes.  Existing  working  capital  resources  are  expected  to  be  sufficient  to  cover  the  Consolidated 
Entity’s funding requirements for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of these financial 
statements to the date of signature of the next financial statements. 

The Directors have prepared a budget for the Consolidated Entity that indicates that it will be profitable for 
the year ending 30 June 2012. 

Based  on  the  Directors’  cash  flow  forecasts,  an  expected  capital  raising  and  the  understanding  that  St 
George  Bank  will  continue  to  provide  the  current  loan  facility  to  the  Consolidated  Entity  and  the  Parent 
Entity,  the  Directors  are  satisfied  that,  the  going  concern  basis  of  preparation  is  appropriate.  These 
financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of 
normal  business  activities  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and  the  settlement  of  liabilities  in  the  ordinary 
course of business. 

4  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 
The Consolidated Entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency 
risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Consolidated Entity's overall risk management 
program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse 
effects on the financial performance of the Consolidated Entity.  

The  Consolidated  Entity  makes  occasional  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments  such  as  foreign 
exchange  contracts  to  manage  foreign  currency  risk.  Derivatives  are  exclusively  used  for  hedging 
purposes,  i.e.  not  as  trading  or  other  speculative  instruments.  The  Consolidated  Entity  uses  different 
methods  to  measure  different  types  of  risk  to  which  it  is  exposed.  These  methods  include  sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit 
risk. 

Risk management is carried out by the CFO under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The Board 
provides  principles  for  overall  risk  management,  as  well  as  policies  and  supervision  covering  specific 
areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments 
and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

The  Consolidated  Entity  makes  purchases  some  of  which  are  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  arising 
from  various  currency  exposures,  primarily  with  respect  to  the  US  dollar,  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business.Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  from  future  commercial  transactions  and  recognised  assets  and 
liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency. The risk is 
measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. 

Management has a standard policy for dealing with foreign currency risk in the purchasing function of the 
Consolidated Entity in order to manage foreign exchange risk against the Consolidated Entity’s functional 
currency. Material purchase contracts which are denominated in foreign currency are regularly reviewed 
by  management  and  when  it  is  considered  necessary  the  currency  risk  exposure  may  be  managed  via 
the use of foreign currency contracts. The current policy is to forward buy USD contracts equivalent to fifty 
percent of six months forward US dollar denominated orders.

Based  on 
the  Australian  dollar 
weakened/strengthened  by  10%  against  the  US  dollar  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  the 
Consolidated  Entity's  post-tax  profit  for  the  year  and  equity  form  would  have  been  $60,000  higher/ 
$60,000 lower (2010: $8,487/ $6,499), as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on forward contracts. 
The US dollar orders are ultimately invoiced in Australian Dollars and the forward hedges used to partially 
offset  the  exposure  to  movement  in  exchange  rates  on  order  commitments.  The  forward  contracts  are 
marked to market. 

(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks 
The Consolidated Entity's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at 
variable  rates  expose  the  Consolidated  Entity  to  cash  flow  interest  rate  risk.  Borrowings  issued  at  fixed 
rates expose the Consolidated  Entity to fair  value  interest rate risk. The Consolidated  Entity policy  is to 
manage  both  risks  as  appropriate  in  conjunction  with  considerations  about  minimising  the  Consolidated 
Entity’s liquidity risk (see below), the current state of the yield curve and expectations about interest rates 
in  the  medium  term  and  the  need  for  flexibility  so  as  to  minimise  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  interest 
expense.

accrues and interest income at 6.2% fixed until October 2011. 

(iii)  Bank guarantees  attract a  variable interest rate plus  a line fee  and  have  a term of 1  year from the

(iv) Convertible notes attract a monthly in arrears interest of 8% fixed. The notes have a term of 5 years 
from date of issue commencing November 2010 and can convert to shares in Joyce Corporation Ltd 
from  the  first  anniversary  of  issue  at  $0.30  or  thereafter  at  an  average  of  the  market  price  at 
conversion. The notes are redeemable for cash at the end of five years. 

An analysis by maturities is provided in (c) below. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  analyses  its  interest  rate  exposure  on  a  dynamic  basis.  Various  scenarios  are 
modelled  taking  into  consideration  refinancing,  renewal  of  existing  positions,  alternative  financing  and 
hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Consolidated Entity calculates the impact on profit and loss of a 
defined  interest  rate  shift.  The  scenarios  are  run  only  for  liabilities  that  represent  the  major  interest-
bearing positions.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) 

(a) Market risk (continued) 

Based on the various scenarios, the Consolidated Entity manages its cash flow interest rate risk adopting 
an appropriate mix of fixed versus variable rate debt and also an appropriate mix of debt maturities  

to  provide  it  with  flexibility  to  repay  debt  as  quickly  as  possible  whilst  having  liquidity  available  to  take 
advantage of business opportunities as they arise. 

Consolidated Entity sensitivity 

The major  debt  facility  is  a  fixed  interest  rate  (see  above).  Variable  interest  rates  apply  to  the  overdraft 
and cash and cash equivalents. On balances at 30 June 2011, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 
basis  points  from  the  year-end  rates  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  post-tax  profit  for  the  year 
would  have  been  $480  higher/lower  (2010  -  $38,577  higher/lower),  mainly  as  a  result  of  a  higher/lower 
interest  expense  arising  from  borrowings  offset  by  lower/higher  interest  income  from  cash  and  cash 
equivalents.  Equity  would  have  been  $480  higher/lower  (2010  -  $38,577  higher/lower)  for  the  same 
reasons as above. 

(b) 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is limited to high credit quality financial institutions with which deposits are held and high credit 
quality wholesale customers with which the Consolidated Entity trades.  

Credit risk is managed on a Consolidated Entity basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, 
derivative  financial  instruments  and  deposits  with  banks  and  financial  institutions,  as  well  as  credit 
exposures  to  wholesale  customers,  including  outstanding  receivables  and  committed  transactions.  For 
banks  and  financial  institutions,  only  independently  rated  parties  with  a  minimum  rating  of  'A'  are 
accepted. If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is 
no  independent  rating,  risk  control  assesses  the  credit  quality  of  the  customer,  taking  into  account  its 
financial  position,  past  experience  and  other  factors.  Individual  risk  limits  are  set  based  on  internal  or 
external  ratings  in  accordance  with  limits  set  internally.  The  compliance  with  credit  limits  by  wholesale 
customers is regularly monitored by line management.  

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets 
as summarised in each applicable note. For wholesale customers without credit rating the Consolidated 
Entity generally retains title over the goods sold until full payment is received. For some trade receivables 
the Consolidated Entity may also obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters 
of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement. The 
Consolidated  Entity  does  not  hold  any  credit  derivatives  to  offset  its  credit  exposure.  The  Consolidated 
Entity trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is 
it the Consolidated Entity's policy to securitise its trade and other receivables. 

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference 
to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) 

(c) 

Liquidity risk 

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the 
availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close  
out market positions. The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast 
and  actual  cash  flows  and  matching  the  maturity  profiles  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities.  Due  to  the 
dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Consolidated Entity aims at maintaining flexibility in  
funding by keeping committed credit lines available and, where possible, with a variety of counterparties. 
Surplus funds are generally only invested in overnight deposits or used to repay debt. 

Maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities 

The  tables  below  analyse  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  financial  liabilities,  net  and  gross  settled  derivative 
financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date 
to  the  contractual  maturity  date.  The  amounts  disclosed  in  the  table  are  the  contractual  undiscounted 
cash flows.

The  Consolidated  Entity  had$58,000  of  available  facilities  to  manage  its  liquidity  as  at  30  June  2011 
(2010: $323,000)  The consolidated entity had $942,000 cash at bank as at the reporting date excluding 
funds  held  in  trust  set  out  at  note  7.  In  addition  the  Consolidated  Entity  had  a  net  investment  in 
inventories  of  $4,275,000  as  at  30  June  2011  (2010:  $5,886,000).  Subsequent  to  year  end  a  further 
$300,000  of  additional  facility  had  been  agreed  to  be  released  by  St  George  and  $55,979  in  additional 
overdraft facility had been available from return of a bank guarantee from a closed store. The total facility 
was reduced on settlement of the Queensland property in September 2010. 

(d) Fair value estimation 

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  must  be  estimated  for  recognition  and 
measurement  or  for  disclosure  purposes.  The  carrying  value  less  impairment  provision  of  trade 
receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to  approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short-term  nature. 
The  fair  value  of  financial  liabilities  for  disclosure  purposes  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future 
contractual  cash  flows  at  the  current  market  interest  rate  that  is  available  to  the  Consolidated  Entity  for 
similar  financial  instruments.  The  fair  value  of  forward  exchange  contracts  is  determined  using  forward 
exchange market rates at the reporting date. 

(e) Capital risk management 

Management  controls  the  capital  of  the  Consolidated  Entity  in  order  to  maintain  a  good  debt  to  equity 
ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Consolidated Entity can fund its 
operations and continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Entity’s debt and capital includes ordinary 
share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. The Consolidated Entity is not subject 
to any externally imposed capital requirements other than as disclosed in note 21 (f). 

Management effectively manages the Consolidated Entity’s capital by assessing the Consolidated Entity’s 
financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. 
These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. 
There  have  been  no  changes  in  the  strategy  adopted  by  management  to  control  the  capital  of  the 
Consolidated Entity since the prior year. This strategy is to ensure that the Consolidated Entity’s gearing 
ratio  remains  between  30%  and  50%.  The  gearing  ratio  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2011  and  30  June 
2010 is as follows:

5.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS 
Estimates  and  judgements  are  continually  evaluated  and  are  based  on  historical  experience  and  other 
factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are 
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

The  Consolidated  Entity  makes  estimates  and  assumptions  concerning  the  future.  The  resulting 
accounting  estimates  will,  by  definition,  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  have  a  significant  risk  of  causing  a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of 
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. 

Impairment testing of goodwill 

The Consolidated Entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to 
the  Consolidated  Entity  that  may  lead  to  impairment  of  assets. Where  an  impairment  trigger  exists,  the 
recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  determined.  Value-in-use  calculations  performed  in  assessing 
recoverable  amounts  incorporate  a  number  of  key  estimates.No  impairment  has  been  recognised  in 
respect of goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2011. 

Valuation of investment property 

The  Consolidated  Entity  assesses  investment  property  values  at  each  reporting  date  by  obtaining 
certificates  of  valuations  from  licensed  valuers  in  accordance  with  applicable  accounting  standards. 
During  the  year  ended  30  June  2011  the  investment  property  values  increased  by  $102,544  (2010: 
decrease  of  $76,000)  and  this  value  was  bought  to  account  to  reflect  the  current  market  value  of  the 
properties in the financial statements. 

Recognition of deferred taxation assets 

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets at 30 June 2011of $1,070,000 (2010: $546,000) which 
were not brought to account, associated with tax losses arising in Australia the benefits of which will only 
be realised if the conditions for deductibility set out in note 1(b) occur. 

Restructuring costs 

The Consolidated Entity brought to account a number of provisions associated with a restructuring of its 
operations  and  an  expected  settlement  of  all  franchisee  legal  actions.  Refer  to  note  22  for  further 
information  

6.  SEGMENT INFORMATION 

(a) AASB 8 Operating segments 

Operating Segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated 
Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers (The Board of Directors) in order 
to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.  

The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products 
and  services  provided,  with  each  segment  representing  a  strategic  business  unit  that  offers  different 
products and serves different markets. 

The Consolidated Entity has the following three operating segments:  

•  The Bedshed retail bedding franchise operation; 
•  The operation of Consolidated Entity owned Bedshed stores in Western Australia, South 

Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland; and 

•  The properties in New South Wales and Queensland which are leased under the sale agreement 

of the Foam Business. 

Refer to note 9 for a description of discontinued operations. Transfer prices between operating segments 
are set at an arms-length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties

ended 30 June 2011 and 30 June 2010 is as follows: 

Profit (loss)before income tax 

Income tax expense /(benefit) calculated at the statutory income tax 
rate  
of 30% (2010: 30%) 

Expenditure not allowable for income tax purposes 
Recoupment of prior-year tax losses not previously brought to

The  reduction  in  the  rate  of  effective  income  tax  in  the  year  ended  30  June  2011  is  attributable  to  the 
decision not to bring to account a deferred tax asset relating accumulated losses.

 INCOME TAX (CONTINUED) 

Tax consolidation 

Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  and  its  100%  owned  subsidiaries  are  a  tax  Consolidated  Entity.  Members  of  the 
Consolidated Entity have not entered into any tax sharing or tax funding arrangements. At the reporting 
date,  the  possibility  that  the  head  entity  will  default  on  its  tax  payment  obligations  is  remote.  The  head 
entity of the tax Consolidated Entity is Joyce Corporation Ltd. 

Measurement method adopted under UIG 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting 

The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Entity continue to account for their own 
current and deferred tax amounts. The Consolidated Entity has applied the Consolidated Entity allocation 
approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  current  taxes  and  deferred  taxes  to  allocate  to 
members  of  the  tax  Consolidated  Entity.  The  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts  are  measured  in  a 
systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes. 

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts,  the  head  entity  also  recognises  current  tax 
liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused  tax credits 
assumed from controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Entity. 

Tax consolidation contributions/(distributions) 

The  Consolidated  Entity  has  recognised  the  following  amounts  as  tax  consolidation  contribution 
adjustments: 

Total Increase/(reduction) to tax payable of Joyce Corporation Ltd:

Corporation Ltd:

Legislation  is  in  place  which  changes  the  tax  treatment  of  financial  arrangements  including  the  tax 
treatment  of  hedging  transactions.  The  Consolidated  Entity  has  assessed  the  potential  impact  of  these 
changes  on  the  Consolidated  Entity's  tax  position.  No  impact  has  been  recognised  and  no  adjustments 
have been made to the deferred tax and income tax balances at 30 June 2010 (2009: Nil).

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets of $1,070,000 (2010: $546,000) which were not brought 
to account, associated with tax losses arising in Australia the benefits of which will only be realised if the 
conditions for deductibility set out in note 1(b) occur. 

At 30 June 2011, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability (2010: Nil) for taxes 
that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Consolidated Entity’s subsidiaries, as 
the  Consolidated  Entity  has  no  liability  for  additional  taxation  should  such  amounts  be  remitted.

(a) Plan to close some unprofitable Company owned stores 

During the year ended 30 June 2010, the Consolidated Entity became committed to the closure of some 
unprofitable  company  owned  stores.  In  consequence,  the  Directors  have  completed  all  planned  store 
closures within the provisions made.  

(b) Analysis of loss for the year from discontinued operations 

The combined results of the discontinued operations (i.e. all the stores committed to the closure) included 
in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  are  set  out  below.  The  comparative  profit  or  loss  and  cash

10.  EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary 
equity  holders of the parent by the  weighted average  number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
year. 

Diluted  earnings  per  share  amounts  are  calculated  by  dividing  the  net  profit  attributable  to  ordinary 
shareholders (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (adjusted for the effects of dilutive options 
and dilutive convertible non-cumulative redeemable preference shares). 

The following reflects the income and share data used in the total operations basic and diluted earnings 
per share computations:

continuing operations for basic earnings per share

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 day terms. A provision for impairment 
loss  is  recognised  when  there  is  objective  evidence  that  an  individual  trade  receivable  is  impaired.  An 
impairment provision of $20,248 (2010: $65,000) has been recognised by the Consolidated Entity.

Receivables past due but not considered impaired are: Consolidated Entity: $276,000 (2010: $585,000). 
Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped until full 
payment is made. Each operating unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied 
that  payment  will  be  received  in  full.  Other  balances  within  trade  and  other  receivables  do  not  contain 
impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

Due  to  the  short  term  nature  of  these  receivables,  their  carrying  value  is  assumed  to  approximate  their 
fair value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as 
security,  nor  is  it  the  Consolidated  Entity's  policy  to  transfer  (on-sell)  receivables  to  special  purpose 
entities.  

(c) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk

The  fair  value  model  is  applied  to  all  investment  properties.  The  investment  property  was  valued  by 
registered independent valuers as at 30 June 2011 and at 30 June 2010. The gross valuation at 30 June 
2011  was  $11,100,000  with  the  remaining  value  not  included  above  included  in  Property  Plant  and 
Equipment.  Joyce  Corporation  Ltd  leases  its  property  to  Joyce  Foam  Pty  Ltd  (the  Company  which 
acquired the foam businesses in November 2005) at a rental less than the current market value. 

For the 30 June 2011, an independent valuer arrived at the above property valuation after deducting an 
amount  of  $2,668,000  because  the  existing  lease  attracts  rent  at  approximately  50%  of  current  market 
rental yields and the lease has another 4.4 years to run. But for the existence of this lease, the valuation 
of the above property would have been stated at $13,761,000.

The  recoverable  amount  of  each  cash-generating  unit  above  is  determined  based  on  value-in-use 
calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a 5-year 
period  with  the  period  extending  beyond  existing  budgets  for  the  2011/12  and  2012/13  financial  years 
extrapolated  using  estimated  growth  rates.  The  cash  flows  are  discounted  using  risk-adjusted  pre-tax 
discount rates.

The Consolidated Entity’s value-in-use calculations incorporated a terminal value component beyond the 
5 year projection period for both the Bedshed Franchising and Bedshed Stores operating segments. The 
principal assumption used to estimate the terminal value of each operating segment was a multiple of 3 
times earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation for the year ended 30 June 2011. 

There has been no impairment of Goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2011 (2010: Nil). 

(c) Impact of possible changes in key assumptions  

Sensitivity analysis is conducted on changes to discount factors and growth,  which do not highlight any 
material impairment.

(i) Remuneration Policy 

The  Remuneration  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  is  responsible  for  determining 
and  reviewing  compensation  arrangements  for  the  directors,  the  Managing  Director  and  the  executive 
team.  The  Remuneration  Committee  assesses  the  appropriateness  of  the  nature  and  amount  of 
emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions 
with  the  overall  objective  of  ensuring  maximum  stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high  quality 
Board and executive team. Such officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emolument in a 
variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It 
is  intended  that  the  manner  of  payment  chosen  will  be  optimal  for  the  recipient  without  creating  undue 
cost for the Company. 

It  is  the  Remuneration  Committee’s  policy  that  employment  agreements  shall  be  entered  into  with  the 
Executive Director and all other executives.

Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of Joyce Corporation Ltd

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Joyce Corporation Ltd (the 
“Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June

changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes 
comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information 
and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the 
entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors responsibility for the financial report 
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report 
that gives a true and fair view of the financial report in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes such 
internal controls as the Directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report to be free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The 
Directors also state, in the notes to the financial report, in accordance with Accounting 
Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the 
Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the 
financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International 
Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We 
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards which require us to 
comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement.  

Grant Thornton Australia Limited is a member firm within Grant Thornton International Ltd. Grant Thornton International Ltd and the member firms are not a

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 
report, whether due to fraud or error.  

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the 
Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit 
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes 
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 
accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of 
the financial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide 
a basis for our audit opinion.

Corporations Act 2001.
