CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

It is with great pleasure to report that the Company has recorded a profit after tax attributable to members at 
30th June 2015 of $5,221,000 compared to $1,570,000 for the comparable prior year, up +232.5%. 

The net profit before tax to 30th June 2015 was $8,195,000 up 258.3% from $2,287,000 at 30th June 2014.  

Revenues for the group were up +174% to $34.73 Million (excluding network sales from franchised stores). 

We are pleased to declare a final fully franked dividend of 3 cents per share payable on the 23rd of October 
2015  with  a  record  date  of  the  6th  of  October  2015.  In  addition,  subject  to  the  settlement  of  the  Moorebank 
property sale, a special fully franked dividend of 5 cents per ordinary share will be paid. In total this will result 
in a (substantially franked) 10.5 cent per ordinary share dividend for the entire calendar year. 

The Company’s Net Assets per share was 94 cents as at 30th June 2015.  The Earnings per share (EPS) is 
16.0 cents compared to 5.6 cents last year on a fully diluted basis for this same period. 

I  feel  it  is  important  to  share  the  following  information  with  shareholders.  In  order  to  adequately  reward  our 
existing shareholders for their continuing support of the Company.  We plan to pay a franked special dividend 
of 5 cents each year for the next two years in addition to this year on top of our normal dividend. We feel that 
the strategic plans the Company has developed will allow this special dividend to be relatively sustainable in 
the  next  periods  after  the  third  payment  subject  to  continued  stable  world  economic  and  local  trading 
conditions continuing. 

Given the current world economic and political climate, it is very positive that the Company is in a relatively 
impregnable financial position, with ample wherewithal to take advantage of growth opportunities into the near 
future with little downside risks.  

The  Company  announced  during  this  period  that  it  had  sold  its  40,800  square  metre  industrial  property  in 
Moorebank  NSW  for  $25  Million  and  it  is  due  to  settle  on  or  after  the  30th  September  2015.  This  result  will 
allow the Group to be debt free with ample cash to ensure our plans are completed. We have already received 
a non refundable deposit of $2.5 Million regarding the Moorebank sale. 

Subsequently,  as  an  after  balance  date  event,  we  have  also  announced  the  purchase  of  a  substantial 
commercial property of nearly 4,048, square metres in the highly sought after Osborne Park WA area for $4 
Million plus GST. The Company plans to develop this site and has already reviewed initial development plans 
for  the  site.  This  will  soon  house  our  corporate  offices  and  warehousing  and  provide  for  potential  additional 
rental income streams allowing for an EBIT gain on our property in the near future. 

The  Company’s  business  units  Bedshed  and  KWB  group  performed  well  and  above  expectations.  The 
Company continues to perform above our forecasts in the current period. 

I would like to thank the entire Management Team and staff, including Mr Anthony Mankarios our Executive 
Director  and  the  Joyce  and  KWB  Boards  for  a  solid  enviable  performance  and  I  have  no  hesitation 
commending the Company as highly secure and with significant wherewithal for growth 

We look forward to a positive future ahead.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT  

Operational Review 

Director’s Operational Review 

The Company announced a statutory profit for the year after tax of $5.22M and a record EBITDA of $7.93M to 
30th  June  2015  compared  with  $2.8M  in  the  prior  period,  up  183%.  This  result  included  provisions  on 
Moorebank,  one  off  costs  and  goodwill  impairment  charges  with  the  resulting  adjusted  provisions  and  costs 
totalling $2.9M. 

Bedshed Franchising (“Bedshed”) 

The main cash flow generating business unit managed to improve the underlying like for like earnings on the 
previous year. Total network written sales maintained modest growth on a like for like basis in a challenging 
retail goods environment. 

The Bedshed company owned stores traded well up on last year and earnings growth was also up in double-
digit growth. 

The company store at Bundall QLD was closed in this period due to the end of its lease. A new franchise store 
has now opened subsequent to year end in the Bundall area. 

Bedshed Franchising managed to secure a new franchise in the ACT late in the period.  

During the year two more stores were converted to the Bedshed “Evolution” store fit out and both stores have 
since  performed  very  strongly.  The  company  has  plans  to  fast  track  “Evolution”  upgrades  for  the  next  two 
years. 

KWB Group Pty Ltd (“KWB”) 

At the 30 June 2015 the company held 57% equity in the subsidiary KWB Group Pty Ltd. Total consolidated 
revenue  and  profit  increased  accordingly,  with  profit  up  in  triple-digit  growth.  This  has  resulted  substantially 
from restructuring initiatives. 

Kitchen Connection and Wallspan kitchen and wardrobes’ retail stores were upgraded and some stores were 
relocated during this year. The KWB stores have been fully upgraded to produce an inspiring contemporary 
kitchen  showroom  experience  for  our  customers.  KWB  currently  operates  in  QLD,  NSW  and  SA  with  12 
stores. 

The  Company  is  fully  cash  funded,  with  no  bank  debt  and  has  considerable  orders  on  its  books.  The  cash 
position is strong and this subsidiary managed to pay its first cash dividend during this period. We anticipate 
this may produce better procurement opportunities. 

The  focus  now  is  on  additional  new  stores  and  the  introduction  of  new  lines  and  benefits  to  our  customers. 
The Company has already signed leases to open new stores in major centres for the next period. 

Moorebank 
The Company announced during the year it has secured a sale of its large industrial property at Moorebank 
NSW. This asset is currently held in our books as a current asset and the associated bank debt liability is likely 
to be repaid on settlement of this property. 

The  Sale  Price was  $25 Million.  The settlement  will  be  on  or  after  the 30th  September  2015.  The deposit  of 
$2.5 Million was unconditionally released to Joyce prior to year end and the sale is unconditional. 

The property asset value has previously been carried in our books on the basis of the sub-economic rent 
valuations. Selling the property ensured net EBIT gain in our books of $6.6M. We have conservatively 
provided for any expenses and associated one off costs.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED) 

Future Outlook 

The  Company  has  concluded  its  recent  restructure  program  of  closing  underperforming  Bedshed  Company 
owned  stores.  The  last  remaining  discontinuing  store  recorded  a  loss  of  $95K  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 had a minor impact on cash in the fiscal 2015 year. This will have minor impact in the next year 
and these costs are provided for in the company books in prior years. 

The Company’s cash position has increased significantly and is due to increase with the pending settlement of 
the Moorebank property. The sale is for $25 Million and will allow for repayment of all current bank debt and 
will provide the opportunity for new business acquisitions to underpin the group’s activities and growth plans in 
the near future. 

The Company’s prospects are positive given the recent lift in activity in its core Bedshed business. Currently 
operations are all meeting profit expectations in a challenging retail environment.  

The Company has achieved successful earnings and cash flow development with its related company KWB 
Group  Pty  Ltd  and  there  is  potential  for  this  to  expand  initially  within  its  existing  geographical  operational 
areas. 

KWB commenced cash dividend payments which will commence to be franked in the year ahead.  

Joyce’s vision is to produce above market returns to its shareholders through partnering in various business 
opportunities;  it  aims  to  eventually  enhance  the  group  by  assisting  with  the  expansion  across  Australia.  We 
anticipate that our retail footprint into the premium “do it for me” market of kitchen and wardrobe renovation will 
grow significantly in the coming years. 

The outlook remains positive whilst continuing to be subject to overall economic activity. 

After Balance Date Events 

The Company has announced that it has purchased a property in Osborne Park W.A. This is due to settle on 
2nd of October 2015 for $4M plus GST. The Company is currently reviewing plans to develop this property. We 
aim to consolidate our corporate offices and W.A. warehouse facilities to this site. In the future this is likely to 
provide  additional  rental  revenue  streams  and  potential  lifts  in  EBIT  resulting  from  valuation  gains  and 
incoming rent.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 

Your Directors present their report on the Consolidated Entity, consisting of Joyce Corporation Ltd (“the Company”) and 
the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2015. 

DIRECTORS 

The names of the Company’s Directors in office during the year ended 30 June 2015 and until the date of this report are 
as below. Directors were in office for this entire period unless otherwise stated.

Executive Director  

Mr D A Smetana  
Mr T R Hantke    
Mr M A Gurry

SECRETARY 

Mr K Gray 

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 

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

(a)  The franchisor of the Bedshed chain of retail bedding stores; 
(b)  An owner of a number of Bedshed retail stores; 
(c)  Property Investment; and 
(d)  Majority owner of KWB Group Pty Ltd with 57% from October 2014. 

Other than the closure of a marginal store in Queensland in March 2015, the announced sale of the NSW Moorebank 
property and becoming a majority owner of KWB Group, 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 2015 (“the Financial Year”) the Consolidated Entity, achieved revenue from continuing 
operations of $34.7m (2014: $12.7m) and a profit from continuing operations before tax of $0.91m (2014: $0.62m) and 
an overall net profit after tax of $5.22m (2014: $1.57m). The revenue increased significantly from the consolidation of 
KWB  Group  Pty  Ltd  from  November  2015.  Like  for  like  sales  reduced  marginally  on  the  closure  of  a  Queensland 
company  store  due  to  the  end  of  a  lease  term.  A  franchise  store  was  subsequently  opened  in  the  vicinity  of  the 
company owned store.  

Profit  was  supported  with  revaluation  of  the  investment  property  at  Moorebank  in  NSW  from  an  unconditional  sale 
contract with settlement due 30 September 2015. 
 . 

Financial Position 

At 30 June 2015 the Consolidated Entity had equity of $26.5m (2014: $22.7m); with dividend payments increasing from 
$835k  in  2014  to  $1,273k  in  2015.  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  increased  to  $5.96m  (2014:  $0.82m).  Unutilised  debt 
facilities  were  $3.5m  (2014:  $869k).  Debt  is  likely  to  be  fully  repaid  after  settlement  of  the  Moorebank  property  in 
September 2015. 

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 to 30 June 2019. The $1.24m multi option facility which is subject to annual review was 
also extended for another year to June 2016.

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 consolidating the improved 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  converted  convertible  notes  into  to  a  majority  equity  stake  in  KWB  Group  Pty  Ltd  (KWB)  a  kitchen  and 
wardrobe  sales  and  installation  company  based  in  Queensland,  South  Australia  and  New  South  Wales.  The  KWB 
business is investing in additional stores and the expansion will see significant improvement in profits and an increase 
profit from the investment of 51% KWB after the final bonus equity earnings for the period ended 30 June 2015 reduces 
the Company interest in KWB from 57% from October 2015.

October 2015. A further special dividend of 5 cents per share fully franked will be paid on the same date subject 
to the settlement of the Moorebank property. Subsequent to year end the settlement date has been changed to 
30 October 2015. 
A contract to purchase a property for use by the Company allowing consolidation of a number of sites was made 
on 2 July 2015 for $4M.

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  to  2015 
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.

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.

levels were found to be consistent with the markets in which we operate, although some changes have been 
made  to  ensure  greater consistency  in  some  aspects  of  our  remuneration  practices.  During  the  financial  year 
ended 30 June 2015 the Company did not engage any remuneration consultants.

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

possible to apportion the premium between amounts relating to the insurance against legal costs and those relating to 
other liabilities.

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  2015  were  authorised  for  issue  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  directors  of  the  Company 
dated 30 September 2015. 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 5. 

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  2015  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 and amended standards adopted by the Group 

The  Group  has  applied  the  following  standards  and  amendments  for  the  first  time  for  their  annual 
reporting period commencing 1 July 2014: 

Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies 

 
  AASB  2013-3  Amendments  to  AASB  136  –  Recoverable  Amount  Disclosures  for  Non-Financial 

Assets 

  AASB  2013-4  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  –  Novation  of  Derivatives  and 

Continuation of Hedge Accounting 

  AASB 2014-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 

None  of  the  new  Standards  and  amendments  to  Standards  that  are  mandatory  for  the  first  time  for  the 
financial year beginning 1 July 2014 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any 
prior  period  and  is  not  likely  to  affect  future  periods.   Additionally,  they  did  not  significantly  affect  the 
entity’s accounting policies or any of the disclosures. 

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

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  AIFRS  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical 
accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the 
Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or 
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 4. 

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.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

AASB 9 Financial Instruments 
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9) addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of 
financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities.  Since  December  2013  it  also  sets  out  new  rules  for  hedge 
accounting. 

When  adopted,  the  standard will  affect the  Group's accounting  for  its available-for-sale  financial assets, 
since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if 
they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. The Group does not have any such assets.  

There will be no impact on the Group's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only 
affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the 
Group does not have any such liabilities.  

The new hedging rules align hedge accounting more closely with the Group's risk management practices. 
As  a  general  rule  it  will  be  easier  to  apply  hedge  accounting  going  forward.  The  new  standard  also 
introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. 
Adoption of AASB 9 is only mandatory for the year commencing 1 January 2017. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers  
The AASB has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace AASB 118 which 
covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts.  
The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service 
transfers to a customer - so the notion of control replaces the existing notion of risks and rewards.  

The standard permits a modified retrospective approach for the adoption. Under this approach entities will 
recognise transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (eg 1 July 2017), 
ie without restating the comparative period.  They will only need to apply the new rules to contracts that 
are not completed as of the date of initial application. 
The Group does not anticipate there will be a material effect on the financial statements from the adoption 
of this standards. 

Adoption of AASB 15 is only mandatory for the year commencing 1 January 2018. 
There  are  no  other  standards  that  are  not  yet  effective  and  that  would  be  expected  to  have  a  material 
impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

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. 

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

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

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

KWB Group Pty Ltd became a related party and has been consolidated into the Consolidated Entity from 
1 November 2014. Up to this date KWB was accounted for on an equity accounting basis. 

(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.

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).

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.

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 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.  

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2015 Annual Report I PAGE 31 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Trade receivables (Continued) 

(j) 
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. 

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.

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).

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.

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 
  KWB Group Pty Ltd 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.

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.

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.

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  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  includes  cash  flows  on  a  gross 
basis. 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. 

(ee) 

Business Combinations  

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  all  business  combinations,  regardless
whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisi
of a subsidiary comprises the 

 

 

fair values of the assets transferred 

liabilities incurred 

  equity interests issued by the group 

 

 

fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and 

fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination
are,  with  limited  exceptions,  measured  initially  at  their  fair  values  at  the  acquisition  date.  The  group
recognises  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquired  entity  on  an  acquisition-by-acquisition  basis
either  at  fair  value  or  at  the  non-controlling  interest’s  proportionate  share  of  the  acquired  entity’s  net
Identifiable assets. 
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. 
The excess of the 
consideration transferred, 

amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and 

acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity 

over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are
less  than  the  fair  value  of  the  net  identifiable  assets  of  the  subsidiary  acquired,  the  difference  is
recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2015 Annual Report I PAGE 39 

 
 
 
 
 
Where  settlement  of  any  part  of  cash  consideration  is  deferred,  the  amounts  payable  in  the  future  are
discounted  to  their  present  value  as  at  the  date  of  exchange.  The  discount  rate  used  is  the  entity’s
incremental  borrowing  rate,  being  the  rate  at  which  a  similar  borrowing  could  be  obtained  from  an
independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. 

Contingent  consideration  is  classified  either  as  equity  or  a  financial  liability.  Amounts  classified  as  a
financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or
loss. 
AASB3(42)  If  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  acquisition  date  carrying  value  of  the
acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date.
Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. 

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 2015 of US$200k. 

(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:

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 2015 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 2015, 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 $53k/$53k higher/lower (2014 - $69k/69k 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  $53k/$53k  higher/lower  (2014  -  $69k/$69k 
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:

3.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) 

(c) 

Liquidity risk 

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

Maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities 

The  tables  below  analyse  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  financial  liabilities,  net  and  gross  settled  derivative 
financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date

liquidity as at 30 June 2015 (2014: $868,000) represented by a $8,900,000 bank bill facility and overdraft 
facility    The  consolidated  entity  had  $5,962,000  (2014  $816,000)  cash  at  bank  as  at  the  reporting  date 
including funds held in trust set out at note 10. In addition the Consolidated Entity had a net investment in 
inventories of $2,185,000 as at 30 June 2015 (2014: $2,108,000). The Consolidated Entity has the ability 
to draw additional bank guarantees against the available undrawn facility.   

(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 (e). 

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  2015  and  30  June  2014  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 $1,375,000 (2014: $150,000) 
has  been  recognised  in  respect  of  goodwill  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2015.  See  note  18  for  further 
details. 

Recognition of deferred taxation assets 

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets at 30 June 2015 of Nil (2014: 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. 

Sale of investment property 

An unconditional sale contract for the Moorebank property for $25M was entered into in March 2015. The 
purchaser has paid a non-refundable $2.5M deposit directly to the Company. Settlement is due after 30 
June 2015.As the contract is unconditional it is recorded as a sale in the year ended 30 June 2105 and 
shown as a receivable   

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.

 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 2015 (2014: Nil).

(a) Closure of Company owned store 

A  store  in  Queensland  came  to  the  end  of  a  lease.  The  profit  performance  including  all  closure  costs 
resulted in a $95k loss during the year.  

Subsequently a franchise store commenced within the locality of the closed store.  

(b) Investment property sale 

The investment property was contracted for unconditional sale in March 2015. As this business will cease 
from 30 September 2015 the operation has been included as a discontinuing operation. 

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

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

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/(loss) 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 $39k (2014: $3k) 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:  $39,500  (2013:  $56,066). 
Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped until full 
payment is made. Each operating unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied 
that  payment  will  be  received  in  full.  Other  balances  within  trade  and  other  receivables  do  not  contain 
impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

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

(c) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk 

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

Intangible  assets  as  at  30  June  2015  reflects  the  value  of  the  Bedshed  activities  for  the  Bedshed 
Joondalup store which was purchased in May 2007, the Bedshed Claremont store that was purchased in 
October  2008,  the  remaining  51%  of  Bedshed  Franchising  Pty  Ltd  purchased  in  2006  and  the  57% 
interest in KWB Group purchased 31 October 2014. 

(b) Impairment Disclosures 

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  cash-generating  units  which  are  based  on  the  Consolidated  Entity’s  operating 
segments 

                                                                                                                                   CONSOLIDATED

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  2014/15  and  2015/16  financial  years 
extrapolated  using  estimated  growth  rates.  The  cash  flows  are  discounted  using  risk-adjusted  pre-tax 
discount rates.

(b) Impairment Disclosures (continued) 

The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:

Growth  
Rate 

Expense 
Growth 
Rate

3-5%
3-5%

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 one 
times earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation for the year ended 30 June 2016 
budget discounted at a rate of 11% per annum. 

Impairment of Goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2015 was $1,375,000 (2014: $150,000), due to 
changes in the estimates of future results and terminal value 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 
management’s  estimates,  the  Consolidated  Entity  would  have  recognised  further  impairment  of 
$356,000. 
If pre-tax discount rate applied was 10% higher than used in management’s estimates, then the 
Consolidated Entity would have recognised further impairment of $26,000.

(a) Provision for employee benefits 

A provision has been recognised for employee benefits relating to long service leave and annual leave. In 
calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long 
service leave being taken is based on historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to 
employee benefits have been included in note 2 to this report. 

(b) Provision for rental shortfall 

A provision continues for the payment of rental shortfalls following the closure of a company owned store 
as at 30 June 2013 which continues to August 2016. 

(c) Provision for store lease termination costs 

At  the  30  June  2015,  the  Consolidated  Entity  provisioned  for  the  estimated  cost  of  repairs  and 
maintenance upon termination of store leases.  

(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.  The  Department  of  Environment  and  Protection  has  not 
required any remediation work due to the low level of risk. An an ongoing monitoring program has been 
established  to  monitor  the  nature,  extent  and  movement  of  the  chemical  found.  The  trace  level  of 
chemical  found  has  generally  been  decreasing  according  to  independent  environmental  reports.  The 
costs of ongoing testing have been allowed for in the costs of sale of property.

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. 

There were no assets measured using level 2 or level 3 fair value valuation techniques. 

(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.   

 (iii) Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) 
The following table presents the changes in level 3 items for the period ended 30 June 2015 for recurring 
fair value measurements:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Joyce Corporation Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Joyce Corporation Limited, which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the
consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from
time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error. In Note 2(a), the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 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.
