Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 3
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
I am pleased to announce the return to sustainable profitability with an overall profit after tax of $1.57 Million compared
to $668K in the comparative year ending 30th June 2013. This is an increase of 135%.
Revenues in 2014 were up 1.5% on the previous year for the continuing business in the consolidated entity.
Net earnings are 5.6 cents per ordinary share. Our Asset backing has climbed to 82 cents undiluted net assets per
ordinary share.
In keeping with our Policy of paying Dividends we will seek to review the overall position in the coming months with an
aim to declare around 2.0 cents per share final unfranked Dividend. We anticipate, subject to cash flow, this may be
paid nearer to November 14.
Our valuable 41,840 sq mtr property in Moorebank, South West Sydney near the M5 motorway on/off ramp, has future
potential and as we have previously outlined the Company is not a long- term holder of industrial property. Of late we
have elected to invest in higher cash flow generating business units aligned with our retail and business unit strategy.
The property has strong growth prospects as outlined by recent independent evaluations of nearer to $21 Million. This
may see solid capital growth and anticipated up to $1M increase in rents as a result of the sub-economic rent wind
down for the lease option period in November 2015. The current market rent expectations will see additional net cash
available to the group each year should we elect to hold the property.
Our board is pleased with the recent investment in KWB Group Pty Ltd, the owner of Kitchen Connection and Wallspan
retail brands in the eastern states. The management team worked very well to achieve results within our initial
expectations. We anticipate additional earnings will be generated for this group in the coming 12 months as a direct
result of this strategy. This associate company, in which we own 32%, has grown sales like for like in solid double-digit
figures.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Executive Director Anthony Mankarios and the executive team along
with our Board for a solid performance and would like to commend the Company to you.
We look forward to a positive future ahead.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Operational Review
Bedshed, one of our core Business Units (BU’s), managed to expand its network sales in Mattresses during the year,
furniture sales declined due to the impact of import devaluation and overall softer consumer demand. The Bedshed
Company stores traded profitably and improved overall performance significantly due to the strategy undertaken by the
Board in the previous period.
Our Evolution fit-out program is progressing, with additional stores scheduled to take part in the next 12 months.
A new franchisee was approved to take over from the Nunawading Victorian Franchise store which ceased operations
in January 2013. This store is fully operational and is performing very well.
The Company completed works on our Moorebank Property, a 41,840 square meter site located near the Georges
River and in proximity to the publicised proposed $400M Inter-modal development in 2015/16, aimed at relieving
container freight away from busy Port Botany and improving congestion on the busy M5 Motorway that leads to the site.
The existing tenant, Australia’s leading foam manufacturer, has indicated their desire to progress with the 5 plus 5 -
year lease option in 2015, should they not be successful in purchasing the property.
The market rent at the end of the lease in November 2015 is anticipated to lift current sub-economic net rents by up to
approximately $1M per annum.
The property has been carried in our books on the basis of the sub-economic rent valuations. This will cease in late
November 2015, when rents move to market rents. With each year approaching 2015 the valuation approaches the
commercialisation rents and as such an appropriate lift in the property value is taken up toward the value based on an
independent registered valuer’s report.
The Directors have obtained an independent Valuation on 31 December 2013, and have adopted this value of $18.4M
less the wind-back of sub-economic rent adjustment in our carrying value in 2014. We also further reviewed the value
based on published market information from external valuer's recent sales values and recent rents achieved that are
published by independent third parties.
The Company not only took part in cost reduction programs set to guide the group into maintainable future profits; it
also enhanced the Company’s prospects considerably. A Joyce Corporation subsidiary decided to convert part of our
Convertible Notes (CN’s) investment in KWB Group Pty Ltd (KWB). We now hold 32% equity in this associate company
after electing to convert our CN’s in late January 2014. We have a further potential 25% investment via the CN’s, that
the board has not yet made any determination on and still earns interest and management fees for Joyce from this
investment. The Associate contributed $255K pre-tax in profits to our group results in 2014 in the five months since the
first tranche of notes were converted. This overall contribution is expected to increase significantly in the 2015 financial
year.
KWB group is the largest specialty independent retailer of kitchens and wardrobes in Australia, with 12 stores in Qld,
SA and NSW at 30 June 2014. It owns the brands Kitchen Connection and Wallspan. KWB is totally cash funded and
has plans to expand with additional stores in the next 12 months.
Joyce aims to eventually enhance the group by assisting with the introduction of a suitable structure for their franchise
business expansion across Australia. We anticipate that this group’s footprint into the premium “do it for me” market of
Kitchen and Wardrobe renovation will grow significantly in the coming two years.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 5
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)
Future Outlook
The Company has concluded its recent restructure program of closing underperforming Bedshed Company owned
stores. The discontinuing store recorded a loss of $59K in the year. The remaining Company owned stores are all
generating operating profits. Cash flow is anticipated to improve as the remaining store-exit payments conclude this
coming year. These exit payments impacted 2014 cash, this will not have the same effect next year, and while these
costs are all provided for in the company books in prior years, it leaves additional potential for the Company to consider
options of either additional dividends or partial share buy backs or both.
The Company’s prospects are positive given the recent lift in activity in its core Bedshed business. Currently operations
are meeting profit expectations in a challenging retail environment. The Company’s significant property asset at
Moorebank will underpin the group’s activities and growth plans in the near future.
The Company has a strong robust plan to enhance its earnings in its Associate company KWB group.
We anticipate a cash dividend will be payable back to Joyce from this Associate in the year ahead.
The outlook remains positive whilst continuing to be subject to overall economic activity.

as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

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;
(b) An owner of a number of Bedshed retail stores;
(c) Property Investment; and
(d) Minority owner of KWB Group Pty Ltd with 32% from February 2014 with convertible notes, that when converted,
will increase ownership to 57% of Kitchen Connection and Wallspan kitchen and wardrobe supply and installation
company.
Other than the closure of the last uneconomic store in NSW in August 2013 and the conversion in (d) above, no other
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 2014 (“the Financial Year”) the Consolidated Entity, achieved revenue from continuing
operations of $14.8m (2013: $14.6m) and a profit from continuing operations before tax of $2.3m (2013: $2.2m) and an
overall net profit after tax of $1.57m (2013: $0.67m). The revenue increased marginally year on year with some signs of
demand stability late in the year. Like for like sale bedding sales growth has been maintained across the Bedshed
stores network despite some product cost increases from lower exchange rates on imported product.
Profit was supported with revaluation of the investment property at Moorebank in NSW from firming market conditions
and further increases from the expiration of subsidised rental period out to November 2015.
Closure of Company-owned stores
During the year ended 30 June 2014, the Consolidated Entity concluded the last closure for the remaining
underperforming company owned store in August 2013. This store was in a sub-optimal regional location with net
present value of closure costs falling below expected operating losses for the remaining lease term.
Financial Position
At 30 June 2014 the Consolidated Entity had equity of $22.7m (2013: $22.1m); with dividend payments increasing from
$593k in 2013 to $835k in 2014. Cash and cash equivalents reduced to $0.8m (2013: $1.48m) after transfer of
previously consolidated marketing fund cash of $716k to the Bedshed Marketing Trust. Unutilised debt facilities were
$869k (2013: $622k) with further expansion facilities of $1.0m (refer to note 4 for further details).
Bank Facility
The Board is pleased to advise that the Consolidated Entity has successfully extended its longer term debt funding
facility with St George Bank from March 2014 to 30 June 2016. This outcome is indicative of St George Bank’s
understanding and support of the Consolidated Entity’s strategy. A $1.3m facility which is subject to annual review was
also extended.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 7
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
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. The
Board is completing a strategic review of all businesses to ensure maximum return on shareholders’ funds and during
the year invested in convertible notes that can be converted to a majority equity stake in KWB Pty Ltd a kitchen and
wardrobe sales and installation company based in Queensland, South Australia and New South Wales.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
The Company converted $500,000 of $900,000 convertible notes in KWB Pty Ltd at 1 February 2014 to achieve 32%
ownership. The remaining notes can be converted into equity to increase ownership to 57% of the Kitchen and
Wardrobe sales and Installation Company which operates as Kitchen Connection and Wallspan in Queensland and
South Australia and New South Wales. The Company has assisted with business strategy and management and has
developed a sustainable profit model to allow the Convertible Notes to be exercised. Should the Convertible notes not
be exercised then the investment is redeemable and is secured by a registered charge over the assets of KWB Pty Ltd.
SIGNIFICANT AFTER REPORTING DATE EVENTS
After the reporting date, agreement on subleasing excess space in a company store was signed. An unfranked
dividend declared on 27 February 2014 of 1.5 cents per share was paid on 31 July 2014. The secured deposit
of $1.1 million with St George Bank was repaid against bank bill facilities from St George bank with no net
change to undrawn facilities.

significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
the Consolidated Entity’s operations, or

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED)
A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)
The Remuneration Committee is required to assess its effectiveness periodically. In addition the Charter is required to
be revised annually and updated as required.
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.
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 independently reviewed with effect from 30 June 2011. The remuneration of
Directors was reduced in 2009 and has subsequently been reinstated without escalation during the 2013 and 2014
financial years. 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 $500,000 per annum and was approved
by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 22 November 2012.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED (CONTINUED)
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 the 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. There are no long term incentives.
B. Service Agreements

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS
During the financial year, Joyce Corporation Ltd paid a premium to insure the Directors and secretaries of the 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.

other irrelevant difference.

1) To recruit from a diverse range of people based on merit.
2) To ensure all employees have equal access to opportunities in the workplace.
3) To ensure there is equal pay for equal work.
4) To continue to build an environment that is accepting of a diverse range of backgrounds and views.

against a potential candidate based on gender, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability or any other
irrelevant difference.

Board members and there is one female in a senior position representing 20% of senior managers.

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

Selection, Appointment and Rotation of External Auditor. Where applicable, the Company's "If Not, Why Not"
disclosure for each of the Recommendations to which this charter and the policies and procedures relate, is
provided below.
Disclosure – Principles & Recommendations
The Company reports below on how it has followed (or otherwise departed from) each of the Principles &
Recommendations during the year ended 30 June 2014 ("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.
The Board is also governed by the Company's constitution, and on appointment each Director is provided
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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 21
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 2013. The
remuneration committee conducted an evaluation of Senior Executives in June 2013. 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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 22
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 compliments 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 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.

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 responsibilities.
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:

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 recognizes 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 are 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.
Principle 3: Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making
Recommendation 3.1:
Companies should establish a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the
practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity, the practices necessary to take into
account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders and the responsibility
and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.
Disclosure:
The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct for Directors to promote ethical and responsible decision making
by Directors. The Code is based on a code of conduct for Directors prepared by the Australian Institute of
Company Directors and embraces the values of honesty, integrity, enterprise, excellence, accountability,
justice, independence and equality of shareholder opportunity.
The principles of the Code are:
•
•
A Director must act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company as a whole.
A Director has a duty to use due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office and exercising
the powers attached to that office.
A Director must use the powers of office for a proper purpose, in the best interests of the Company
as a whole.
A Director must not take improper advantage of the position of Director.
A Director must not allow personal interests, or the interests of any associated person, to conflict
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.
A Director should not engage in conduct likely to bring discredit upon the Company.

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 2014 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors of the Company
dated 30 September 2014. 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
These general purpose financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 have been prepared in
accordance with requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards.
Joyce Corporation Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the Financial Statements.
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”).
New accounting standards and interpretations
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and
interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been
adopted early by the Company.
Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s
accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement.
Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the
Company’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have
been issued but are not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
In the current year, the Consolidated Entity has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its
operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. There has been no material impact on
the financial statements upon the adoption of the new and revised standards, other than additional
disclosure requirements, including:
-
-
-
amendments made to AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to remove
Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements effective from 1 July 2013, now
require the individual requirements of AASB 124 to be removed from the notes to the financial
statements and these requirements will be disclosed in the Remuneration Report only;
additional note disclosures are required under AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
effective from 1 July 2013; and
additional note disclosures are required under AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement effective from 1
July 2013;
The impact of standards and interpretations that have been published but are not mandatory for 30 June
2014 reporting periods and have not been early adopted are disclosed within note 2 (ee). There were no
standards that were early adopted as of 30 June 2014.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 40
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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.
New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30
June 2014 reporting periods. The Consolidated Entity’s and the parent entity’s assessment of the impact
of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
(i)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (issued December 2009 and amended December 2010 and June
2014) (effective from 1 January 2018)
Amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets. The available-for-
sale and held-to-maturity categories of financial assets in AASB 139 have been eliminated. AASB 9
requires that gains or losses on financial liabilities measured at fair value are recognised in profit or
loss, except that the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk are recognised in other
comprehensive income. Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year ending 30 June 2019.
The consolidated entity has not yet made an assessment of the impact of these amendments.
(ii)
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued June 2014) (effective from 1 January
2017)
An entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods or services. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or
services is transferred, rather than on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under
IAS 18 Revenue.
Due to the recent release of this standard, the Consolidated Entity has not yet made a detailed
assessment of the impact of this standard.
(iii)
IFRS 9 Equity Accounting in Separate Financial Statements (issued August 2014) (effective from 1
January 2016)
Currently, investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for in separate
financial statements at cost or at fair value under IAS 39/IFRS 9. These amendments provide an
additional option to account for these investments using the equity method as described in IAS 28
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.
The entity currently accounts for investments in associates in the parent financial information at
cost. When these amendments are first adopted, the entity will decide whether to account for these
investments in the parent financial information using the equity method. This may result in an
increase in investments and retained earnings on 1 July 2015 so that investments are recorded at
the equity accounted amount under IAS 28.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 41
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(iv) AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial
Assets (issued June 2013) (effective from 1 January 2014)
Clarifies the disclosure requirements for cash-generating units (CGUs) with significant amounts of
goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives and also adds additional disclosures when
recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less costs to sell.
As this standard amends disclosure requirements only, there will be no impact on amounts
recognised in the financial statements. The recoverable amount for CGUs with significant amounts
of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives will only be required to be disclosed where an
impairment loss has been recognised. However, there will be additional
disclosures about the level of the fair value hierarchy where recoverable amount for a CGU is
determined based on fair value less costs to sell.
(v) AASB 3 Business Combinations (issued June 2014) (effective from 1 July 2014)
The amendment clarifies that contingent consideration is assessed as either a liability or an equity
instrument on the basis of AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendment also
requires contingent consideration that is not classified as equity to be re-measured to fair value at
each reporting date, with changes in fair value being reported in profit or loss.
There will be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments are first adopted
because they apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after 1 July 2014.
(vi) AASB 8 Operating Segments (issued June 2014) (effective from 1 July 2014)
When operating segments have been aggregated in determining reportable segments, additional
disclosures are required regarding judgments made by management in applying the aggregation
criteria used to assess that the aggregated segments have similar economic characteristics,
including:
(cid:31) A description of the operating segments that have been aggregated
(cid:31) The economic indicators considered in determining that the aggregated operating segments
share similar economic characteristics.
There will be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments are first adopted
because this is a disclosure standard only. However, as the consolidated entity currently
aggregates operating segments in determining reportable segments, additional disclosures
regarding judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria will be required
when this amendment is adopted for the first time in the financial statements for the year ended 30
June 2015.
(vi) AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures (issued June 2014) (effective from 1 July 2014)
The amendment clarifies that an entity that provides key management personnel services
(‘management entity’) to a reporting entity (or to the parent of the reporting entity), is a related party
of the reporting entity. The amendment also requires separate disclosure of amounts recognised as
an expense for key management personnel services provided by a
separate management entity (but not in the categories set out in AASB 124.17).
There will be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments are first adopted
because this is a disclosure standard only. As the consolidated entity does not currently engage the
services of a management entity, it is also unlikely that any additional disclosures will be required
when this amendment is adopted for the first time for the year ended 30 June 2015.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 42
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Principles of consolidation
(b)
The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
investment with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the
activities of the entity. All controlled entities have a 30 June financial year end. 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 28 to the financial statements.
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.
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 Consolidated Entity, are shown separately within the Equity
section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the consolidated Statement of Profit or
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(c)
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.
(d)
Foreign currency translation
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 profit or loss and other
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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 43
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue recognition
(e)
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).
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 44
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income tax
(f)
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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 45
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Hire purchases and leases
(g)
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 profit or loss and other
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 profit or loss and other
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
(h)
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
(i)
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 and other receivables
(j)
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.
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 profit or loss and other comprehensive income in other
expenses.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 46
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Inventories
(k)
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
(l)
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.
(m)
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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 47
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(m)
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 profit or loss and other 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 profit or loss and other 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 profit or loss and
other 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 profit or loss and other 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 profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of profit or
loss and other 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.
(n)
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is
considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less
costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee
benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights
under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group)
to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to
sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously
recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-
current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised
while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a
disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for
sale are presented separately from the other assets in the Statement of Financial Position. The liabilities
of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the
Statement of Financial Position.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held
for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is
part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a
subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are
presented separately in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
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).
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 49
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(p)
Derivatives and hedging activities (continued)
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
(q)
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 profit or
loss and other 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.
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
profit or loss and other 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
(r)
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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 50
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(s)
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 profit or loss and other 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 Stores 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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 51
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Trade and other payables
(t)
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
(u)
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
(v)
(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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 52
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Borrowings
(w)
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 profit or loss and other 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.
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.
(z)
Earnings per share
(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.
(bb) Rounding of Amounts
The Company has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly,
amounts in the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 53
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(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.
(dd)
Investments in associates
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated
financial statements. Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the
consolidated statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Consolidated
Entity’s share of net assets of the associate. After application of the equity method, the Consolidated
Entity determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the
Consolidated Entity’s net investment in the associate.
The Consolidated Entity's share of the associate post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements
are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Consolidated Entity's share of
losses in the associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any unsecured long-term
receivables and loans, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The reporting dates of the associate and the Consolidated Entity are identical and the associate’s
accounting policies conform to those used by the Consolidated Entity for like transactions and events in
similar circumstances.
3. 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 holds the following financial instruments:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Other financial assets
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
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.
The Consolidated Entity’s had exposure to foreign currency risk with respect to the US Dollar at the at 30
June 2014 of US$321k .
(ii) Cash flow 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. 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.
As at the reporting date, all of the Consolidated Entity had the following variable and fixed rate financial
instruments:

This debt facility is bank bill based and incurs a line fee on use.
An analysis by maturities is provided in (c) below.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 55
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(a) Market risk (continued)
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.
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 drawn at 30 June 2014 is at a variable interest rate (see above). Variable interest
rates apply to the overdraft and cash and cash equivalents. On balances at 30 June 2014, 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 $69k/$69k higher/lower (2013 - $15k/15k 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 $69k/$69k higher/lower (2013 - $15k/$15k
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:

(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 consolidated entity had $816,000 cash at bank as at the reporting date excluding funds held in trust
set out at note 10. In addition the Consolidated Entity had a net investment in inventories of $2,108,000
as at 30 June 2014 (2013: $1,960,000). The Consolidated Entity has the ability to draw additional bank
guarantees against the available undrawn facility. A new facility of $1.0m was approved by St George
bank to assist in supporting new franchisee expansion.
(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 20 (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 remain below 40%. The gearing ratio for the year ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 is as

4. 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. Impairment of $150,000 (2013: $100,000)
has been recognised in respect of goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2014. See note 18 for further
details.
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 2014 the investment property values were determined by Directors to
have increased by $949 k (2013: $1,25 m) and this value was bought to account to reflect the current
market value of the properties in the financial statements. Refer to note 17 for further details.
Recognition of deferred taxation assets
The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets at 30 June 2014 of Nil (2013: Nil) 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 are met.
Restructuring costs
The Consolidated Entity brought to account a provision associated with closure of some underperforming
company owned stores. The remaining lease terms have reduced to allow commercial negotiations to be
available for surrender of leases. A total closure provision of Nil (2013: $351k) has been made in the
reporting period.
5. 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, Victoria, New
South Wales and Queensland; and
• The property in New South Wales which is leased under the sale agreement of the Foam
Business.
Refer to note 8 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.

INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)
Tax consolidation
Joyce Corporation Ltd and its 100% Australian 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 no consolidation contribution adjustments.
Taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA)
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 2014 (2013: Nil).

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets of $Nil (2013: $Nil) which were not brought to account.
At 30 June 2014, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability (2013: 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.

9. 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:
Net profit attributable to equity holders from continuing
operations for basic earnings per share
Effect of dilutive equity instruments
Net profit attributable to equity holders from continuing
operations for diluted earnings per share
Profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders from discontinued
operations

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 $3k (2013: $41k) has been recognised by the Consolidated Entity.

* Past due not impaired ('PDNI')
Considered impaired ('CI')
Receivables past due but not considered impaired are: Consolidated Entity: $56,066 (2013: $145,019).
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.
Joyce Corporation Ltd 2014 Annual Report I PAGE 69
11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
Movement in the provision for impairment of receivables is as follows:

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
Detail regarding foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposure is disclosed in note 3.

(a) Convertible notes
As of 1 February 2014 Joyce converted $500,000 of $900,000 of Convertible Notes invested in KWB
Group Pty Ltd to achieve a 32% holding. The Convertible Note Deed was amended at the time of the first
tranche conversion to remove a fixed redemption date and to extend the conversion and to give KWB
discretion over the issue date of shares from when the second tranche is notified to be converted. The
number of shares to be issued upon conversion of all or the part of the convertible notes shall be the
number calculated by dividing the monies payable which the Noteholder has elected to be converted into
shares by the issue price of $1.00 per note. The Convertible Notes attract an interest rate of 8.75% per
annum receivable monthly in advance as from the applicable Draw down Date until the Redemption Date
in respect of that Drawdown and includes the Redemption Date. Each convertible note has a face value of
$1.00 and is secured by a first ranking security granted by KWB Group Pty Ltd over all of its assets and
undertaking in favour of the Noteholder. The directors have applied a conversion feature value of nil,
given the option to convert is now subject to KWB Group Pty Ltd director approval.

In accordance with the requirements of the accounting standards an independent valuation was
undertaken by the Company to determine the fair value of the New South Wales investment property. The
Company has revalued the investment property in New South Wales based on the valuation received as
at 31 December 2013 of $18.4M less a reduction for discounted rent to November 2015. The Directors
have adopted a value based on the 31 December 2013 valuation discount by taking up pro-rata
increments of the discounted rent as the discounted rent period expires. The Directors have also further
valued the property based on market information from valuers, recent sales values and recent rental rates
received from independent third parties. A total value of the investment property of $17.3M has been
recorded at 30 June 2014.
The deduction for the remaining discounted rent period to 29 November 2015 as at 30 June 2014 from
the valuation of $18.4M is $1.12M. The valuer has not provided a calculation or advised of the discount
rate used to determine the discount calculation.
Refer to 26 for disclosure of fair value measurement.

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 2013/14 and 2014/15 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 2014
and a discount rate of 11% per annum.
Impairment of Goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2014 was $150,000 (2013: $100,000), due to changes
in the estimates of future results for the Bedshed stores segment.
(c) Impact of possible changes in key assumptions
Sensitivity analysis was conducted on the Bedshed stores segment:
-
-
If budgeted sales growth rate used in the value in use calculation has been 10% lower than
managements estimates, the Consoldiated Entity would have recognised further impairment of
$64,959.
If pre-tax discount rate applied was 10% higher than used in managements calculations, then the
Consolidated Entity would have recognised further impairment of $55,742.

(d) Provision for environmental testing
As part of the ongoing testing of Joyce Corporation owned sites it was found that traces of a chemical
used by the lease, Joyce Foam Products, was detected in the groundwater at the South Australian and
New South Wales properties. The levels found were not high and to be prudent the Department of
Environment and Conservation were notified. Confirmation has been received from the Department of
Environment and Protection that no remediation work is required due to the low risk of harm to the
environment; however an ongoing monitoring program has been established to monitor the nature, extent
and movement of the chemical found. The trace level of chemical found have generally been decreasing
according to independent environmental reports.

26. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(i) Fair value hierarchy
This note explains the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair values of the non-financial
assets that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication
about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the group has classified its non-
financial assets and liabilities into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards.
Level 1: The fair value is based on quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities at the end of the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable
market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair
value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the asset is
included in level 3. This is the case for investment property.

(ii) Valuation techniques used to determine level 3 fair values
The Consolidated Entity obtains independent valuations for its investment property at least every three
years.
At the end of each reporting period, the directors update their assessment of the fair value of the property,
taking into account the most recent independent valuations. The directors determine the property’s value
within a range of reasonable fair value estimates. Refer to note 19 for the valuation technique performed
by the directors at 30 June 2014.
(iii) Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3)

(v) Valuation processes
The group engages external, independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of the group’s
investment properties at least every two years. As at 30 June 2014, a directors’ valuation has been
performed for the fair value of the investment property.
(vi) Recognised fair value measurements
The main level 3 inputs used by the group are derived and evaluated as follows:
(cid:31) Investment property – discount rates, terminal yields, expected vacancy rates and rental growth rates
are estimated by management based on comparable transactions and industry data.
Changes in level 3 fair values are analysed at each reporting date during the half-yearly valuation
discussion between the CFO and directors. As part of this discussion the CFO presents a report that
explains the reason for the fair value movements.

INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD
The Company acquired 32% of KWB Group Pty Ltd as of February 2014 by converting $500K of $900K
of two tranches of convertible notes. The notes earn 8.75% interest on a daily basis payable monthly in
arrears until conversion. The second tranche of the convertible notes have been agreed to not expire as
previously and after conversion notice is issued the timing of the issue of shares rests with KWB Group
Pty Ltd. If the second tranche of $400K of convertible notes is converted the total equity in KWB Group
Pty Ltd increases to 57%. The total profit reported by KWB Group Pty Ltd for the five months to 30 June
2014, after the first conversion, was $796K of which 32% share represents $255K. KWB Group Pty Ltd
has surplus carried forward tax losses to absorb the current year income tax expense.

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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the 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.
