01

Katana Capital combines its listed investment company structure 
with the proven ability of its Manager (“KATANA ASSET MANAGEMENT LTD”) 
to provide investors with access to comprehensive investment 
techniques aimed at providing capital and income returns.

The Company and the Manager share similar investment 
philosophies. The role of the Company is to assess and monitor 
the Manager and liaise with the Manager with respect to its 
Mandate as detailed in the Management Agreement. 

Our investment philosophy

As an ‘All Opportunities’ fund, the underlying goal of the Manager 
is to assess the risk adjusted return of every potential opportunity 
identified by the Manager. The Manager’s approach includes 
selectively and modestly taking higher-risk positions, provided 
that the potential return exceeds the additional risk –  
preferably in terms of both value and time.

Whilst the Manager intends to combine the best principles  
of value investing, fundamental and technical analysis,  
it does not wish to be constrained by the constructs of 
any one approach. The key to the long-term success of 
the Company is seen as the capacity of the Manager to 
integrate the best principles of each discipline with  
the extensive and varied experiences of the Manager.

This is achieved by encouraging flexibility and 
adaptability, but within the confines of an overall 
framework that controls risk.

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

INVESTMENT REPORT

Katana Asset Management Ltd (‘The Manager’) has completed  
a report on the performance of Katana Capital Limited’s portfolio 
for the 12 months to 30 June 2015.

FY15 
financial 
year 
review

The All Ordinaries Index was broadly flat over 
the course of FY15, starting at 5,382 points as 
at 1 July 2014 and ending at 5,451.2 points, 
representing a gain of 1.29%. The index  
‘range traded’ between approximately  
5,200 points and 5,800 points over this period.  
After significantly outperforming its 
benchmark in FY14 with a 26.79% return verses 
the All Ords Index of 12.7% and a track record 
of outperformance in eight of the past nine 
years, the Manager unfortunately under-
performed its benchmark in FY15, generating 
a negative gross investment return (before fees 
and taxes) of -2.28%. A summary of returns 
delivered by the Manager compared to the  
All Ords Index is shown in the table below.

The Manager continued to hold between  
50-60 individual stock positions as well as  
a reasonable level of cash over FY15.  
The Manager remains committed to 
maintaining a diversified portfolio, which 
it believes, provides a better risk adjusted 
outcome compared to achieving that same 
level of return via a concentrated portfolio. 

The bar chart below illustrates the Manager’s 
track record of relative performance in each 
of the past ten years together with its average 
level of out-performance over this period.

The Top 10 holdings of the Fund as at  
30 June 2015 are shown below. There is a 
strong emphasis on and bias towards quality 
large and emerging industrial and diversified 
financial services companies. Several of these 
companies have international operations and 
virtually all have strong balance sheets and 
produce robust cash flows.

Outlook

Seven years on from the Global Financial Crisis 
(GFC) and we remain in a low global growth 
environment despite having the lowest 
interest rates in our lifetimes. We expect 
improvements in future growth to continue  
to be more gradual than in past recoveries. 

This is due to a combination of factors 
including debt deleveraging; ongoing 
structural changes in economies; and a 
general lack of demand growth in many 
countries, partly attributable to ageing 
populations. However, the global economy 
is improving and will benefit from extremely 
loose monetary policies as well as lower oil 
prices, which will reduce corporate input 
costs and increase net incomes. In addition, 
growth, particularly in the US and UK, is 
recovering and we expect both countries to 
begin to normalise interest rates over the  
next six months. 

There is a continuing gradual recovery in the 
euro area, supported by very accommodative

monetary policy and despite imposed 
austerity measures. Unemployment is 
gradually declining and as inflation remains 
well below the European Central Bank’s 
(ECB) target, monetary stimulus will continue 
for some while yet. Growth in China has 
moderated as it rebalances its economy away 
from fixed asset investment and towards 
consumer demand. The Chinese authorities 
are seeking to engineer a ‘soft landing’ by 
increasing a range of liquidity measures. 

Australia continues to grow at a sub-trend 
pace as it transitions away from the past 
mining investment boom and towards 
growth in other, non-mining sectors.  
Interest rates are now at historically low  
levels, supporting strong growth in housing 
and to a lesser extent, consumption.  
The lower Australian dollar is assisting 
key export industries to become more 
internationally competitive. This includes 
tourism and education, which is now 
Australia’s fourth largest export.  
Financial, business and healthcare services  
are also showing robust growth. In the 
medium term, Australia remains well 
positioned for growth as China and other 
Asian economies continue to develop their 
economies. This region contains some 40% 
of the world’s population and will continue 
to demand Australian products and services 
ranging from LNG to insurance. Demand for 
Australian agricultural products are being 
driven by the emerging Asian middle class 
and already, seven of the top 10 sources of 
Australian inbound tourism are from Asia. 

Strategy

The Manager believes that the stock market 
will move higher and provide modest total 
shareholder returns in FY16, boosted by the 
lower Australian dollar, low interest rates and 
a gradual improvement in global economic 
growth. Despite this, there will be periods 
of volatility, particularly as interest rates 
normalise in the US and as expectations 
regarding the local and global economic 
outlook fluctuate. 

The Manager has positioned the portfolio 
to benefit from the low and depreciating 
Australian dollar by selectively increasing its 
exposure to companies with international 
operations. It has also increased its holdings 
in domestic companies that offer solid and 
sustainable dividend yields as these should 
perform well in the low Australian interest 
rate environment. The Manager believes 
that dividends will form a greater part of 
total shareholder returns in this low growth 
environment. The portfolio also contains some 
high quality mid-cap companies that should 
deliver high levels of profitable growth and 
ultimately outperform the broader market. 

04

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

INVESTMENT REPORT

The portfolio remains very underweight in 
resource and associated stocks. The Manager 
expects the share market to experience 
periods of volatility and will use any weak 
periods to add to holdings. This may result in 
it holding higher cash balances from time to 
time as it will only invest valuable shareholder 
funds when it considers the risk/return 
equation to be favourable.

Corporate

Katana Capital Ltd issued a total of 11.8m new 
shares, raising $10.95m (before transaction costs 
of $0.2m) in FY15. Of this amount, 8.4m shares 
were issued in a placement to professional 
and sophisticated investors at 93 cents per 
share. The placement raised $7.8m and was 
over-subscribed. The balance of $3.15m was 
completed via a 1-for-8 non renounceable  
pro-rata rights issue at the same price. 

The company bought back 780,780 shares in 
FY15 at an average price of 88 cents per share. 
In addition to providing liquidity to existing 
shareholders, the buyback increased the 
underlying net asset backing for all existing 
and remaining shareholders.

In November, shareholders received one free 
bonus option for every ordinary share held. 
The options are exercisable at $1.00 each and 
have an expiry date of 1 March 2016. 

Katana paid four quarterly dividends 
totalling six cents ($0.06) during FY15 of  
which three cents ($0.03) were fully franked.   
This represented an increase of 20% over FY14.

In order to reduce the overall cost of running 
Katana Capital Ltd and provide a better 
conversion from gross investment returns 
to net shareholder returns, the Manager 
voluntarily reduced the management and 
performance fees by approximately 20%.  
(This was reported to the ASX on 26 
September 2014). This will directly benefit all 
shareholders. In addition the Manager has 
further reduced some transaction costs and 
is working with the Board to review all costs 
in order to maximise the conversion of gross 
returns to net returns. 

On behalf of all of the staff at Katana Asset 
Management, we take this opportunity to 
once again thank Katana Capital’s valued 
shareholders for your support and belief 
throughout FY15 and beyond.

Perth, WA 6000, Australia.

Operating and Financial Review

Company overview

Investments for future performance

Liquidity and funding

Katana Capital was incorporated in September 
2005 as a listed investment company providing 
shareholders with access to the investment 
services of Katana Asset Management Ltd 
(“Fund Manager”). The Fund Manager employs 
a benchmark unaware long only Australian 
Equities investment philosophy with active use 
of cash holdings as a defensive mechanism 
within the portfolio to deploy into market 
weakness. The portfolio does not incorporate 
gearing or short selling of securities.

The All Ordinaries Index was broadly flat over 
the course of FY15, starting at 5,382 points as 
at 1 July 2014 and ending at 5,451.2 points, 
representing a gain of 1.29%. The index 
‘range traded’ between approximately 5,200 
points and 5,800 points over this period. After 
significantly outperforming its benchmark 
in FY14 with a 26.79% return versus the All 
Ords Index of 12.7% and a track record of 
outperformance in eight of the past nine years, 
the Manager unfortunately under-performed 
its benchmark in FY15, generating a negative 
gross investment return (before fees and taxes) 
of -2.28%. The loss after tax for the year was 
$1,157,799 (2014: $5,904,101 profit after tax).

Katana Capital’s Fund Manager notes that 
the Australian equity market has now 
seen valuations return to more normalised 
historical levels and therefore we are entering 
a more challenging time for equity investing. 
In saying that, the Fund Manager continues 
to find some pockets of value including in 
a number of mid and small-cap companies. 
In addition to this, the Fund Manager has 
reviewed and invested in a number of 
successful IPOs more recently with several 
more on the radar for immediate further work.

Cash from operations

Net cash outflows from operations were 
($10,184,260) (2014: inflows $3,824,823) 
during the year which reflects the  
Group’s investment from the Australian 
equities market.

Net cash flows for the financial year ending  
30 June 2016 are expected to remain neutral 
and will be subject to the Group taking 
advantage of opportunities within the 
Australian equities market and the general 
performance of the market.

Following the completion of the issue of 
8,400,000 shares at $0.93 together with 1-for-8 
rights issue, the Company foresees no need 
to raise additional equity and will use its 
remaining cash reserves to invest  
into the Australian equities market along  
with continuing dividend payments and  
share buybacks.

Risk management

The Board is responsible for overseeing 
the establishment and implementation 
of an effective risk management system 
and reviewing and monitoring the Group’s 
application of that system.

Implementation of the risk management 
system and day to day management of risk  
is the responsibility of the Fund Manager.  
The Fund Manager is primarily responsible  
for all matters associated with risk 
management associated with the Equity 
Markets and Investment of the Group’s funds 
and has formalised an Investment Committee 
that meets on a regular basis to review the 
Group’s investments.

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

In the opinion of the directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity that occurred during the year.

Significant Changes After Balance Date

Other than the events below, the directors are 
not aware of any matter or circumstance that 
has significantly or may significantly affect the 
operations of the company or the results of 
those operations, or the state of affairs of the 
company in subsequent financial years. 

On 3 August 2015 the Company declared a 
fully franked 1.5 cent per share dividend.

At the time of writing this report, the Directors 
note that following 30 June 2015, there has 
been a correction in the All Ordinaries with 
the index down from 5,451 points at  
30 June 2015 to 5,076 points at 25 September 
2015, representing a decrease of 6.9%%.  
As this is the only Securities Exchange the 
Company invests in, changes in the value of 
the Company’s investments are reflected in 
the Company’s Net Tangible Asset Backing 

per share which is reported to the Australian 
Securities Exchange (ASX) monthly and is 
available via the ASX website. From 30 June 
2015 to 31 August 2015, the Company’s 
Net Tangible Asset Backing per share has 
decreased by 3.21%. The further impact for 
the month of September will be determined 
and reflected in the Company’s Net Tangible 
Asset Backing per share in 30 September 2015 
monthly report to ASX.

Likely Developments and Expected Results

Seven years on from the Global Financial 
Crisis (GFC) and we remain in a low global 
growth environment despite having the 
lowest interest rates in our lifetimes. We expect 
improvements in future growth to continue to 
be more gradual than in past recoveries. This is 
due to a combination of factors including debt 
deleveraging; ongoing structural changes 
in economies; and a general lack of demand 
growth in many countries, partly attributable 
to ageing populations. However, the global 
economy is improving and will benefit from 
extremely loose monetary policies as well as 
lower oil prices, which will reduce corporate 
input costs and increase net incomes. In 
addition, growth, particularly in the US and UK, 
is recovering and we expect both countries to 
begin to normalise interest rates over the next 
six months.  

There is a continuing gradual recovery in the 
euro area, supported by very accommodative 
monetary policy and despite imposed 
austerity measures. Unemployment is 
gradually declining and as inflation remains 
well below the European Central Bank’s 
(ECB) target, monetary stimulus will continue 
for some while yet. Growth in China has 
moderated as it rebalances its economy away 
from fixed asset investment and towards 
consumer demand. The Chinese authorities 
are seeking to engineer a ‘soft landing’ by 
increasing a range of liquidity measures. 

Australia continues to grow at a sub-trend 
pace as it transitions away from the past 
mining investment boom and towards  
growth in other, non-mining sectors. Interest 
rates are now at historically low levels, 

supporting strong growth in housing and 
to a lesser extent, consumption. The lower 
Australian dollar is assisting key export 
industries to become more internationally 
competitive. This includes tourism and 
education, which is now Australia’s fourth 
largest export. Financial, business and 
healthcare services are also showing robust 
growth. In the medium term, Australia remains 
well positioned for growth as China and other 
Asian economies continue to develop their 
economies. This region contains some 40% 
of the world’s population and will continue 
to demand Australian products and services 
ranging from LNG to insurance. Demand for 
Australian agricultural products are being 
driven by the emerging Asian middle class 
and already, seven of the top 10 sources of 
Australian inbound tourism are from Asia.

Remuneration Report (Audited)

This remuneration report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and Group in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. For the purposes of this report, key management personnel (KMP) of the Group are 
defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group, directly or 
indirectly, including any director of the Company (whether executive or otherwise).

This report outlines the remuneration arrangements in place for directors of Katana Capital. Katana Capital, at this stage of its development 
does not employ executive directors and does not have a Managing Director or a Chief Executive Officer. The Company has outsourced the 
management of the investment portfolio to the Fund Manager, Katana Asset Management Ltd. Katana Asset Management Ltd reports directly  
to the Board and is invited to attend all Board meetings to present its investment strategy and to discuss and review the financial performance  
of the Group.

(a)  Details of Key Management Personnel

The following persons were directors of Katana Capital Limited during the financial year:

(i)  Chairman - non executive

Dalton Gooding

(ii)  Non executive directors

Peter Wallace 
Giuliano Sala Tenna

(b)  Key management services – Katana Asset Management Ltd

In addition to the Directors noted above, Katana Asset Management Ltd, the Fund Manager for the Group provides the Group with key 
management services. The directors of Katana Asset Management Ltd are Brad Shallard, Romano Sala Tenna and Michelle Butler.

Officer

The company secretary is an officer of the Company but is not considered to be a key management person as he does not have the authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing or controlling the activities of the Group and is not involved in the decision making process, with his main 
duties being aligned to his compliance function.

Remuneration philosophy

The performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its directors. To prosper, the Group must attract, motivate and retain skilled  
non-executive directors.

As a result of the independence and separation of Non Executive Directors’ role of providing guidance and overview, the remuneration policy of 
the directors is not directly linked to company performance. Katana Asset Management Ltd’s performance fees and management fees are linked 
directly to the performance of the Company.

The Company does not have a remuneration committee. The Board of Directors act as the Remuneration Committee and is responsible for 
determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the Company. The Board will assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount 
of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis, by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring 
maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board.

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Remuneration Report (Audited) - CONTINUED

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive director and senior management remuneration is separate 
and distinct.

(i)  Non executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the 
highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The constitution and the ASX listing rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time 
to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. At present 
the aggregate remuneration totals $200,000 per year in respect of fees payable to non-executive directors. This amount was approved by 
shareholders at the annual general meeting held on the 10 November 2005.

The amount of aggregate remuneration, including the issue of options sought to be approved by shareholders and the manner in which it  
is apportioned amongst directors, is reviewed annually. The Board considers advice from external consultants as well as the fees paid to  
non-executive directors of comparable companies when undertaking the annual review process.

The Board considers that the majority of the Group’s performance lies with the Fund Manager.

Each director receives a fee for being a director of the Group and includes attendance at Board and Committee meetings. Any additional 
services provided are charged at a daily rate agreed in advance by the Chairman.

The remuneration of non-executive directors for the year ended 30 June 2015 is detailed on page 12 of this report.

(ii)  Senior manager and executive director remuneration

As previously noted the Company at present does not employ any executive directors or senior management. If the Company chooses in the 
future to employ executive directors the Company will review the remuneration packages.

Employment contracts

As noted above the Group does not currently employ any executive directors or senior management, it does however have an agreement in 
place with Katana Asset Management Ltd to provide the Group with investment management services.

(iii)  Compensation of Katana Asset Management Ltd

No amount is paid by the Group directly to the directors of Katana Asset Management Ltd. Consequently, no compensation is paid by the 
Group to the Directors of Katana Asset Management Ltd as Key Management Personnel.

Compensation is paid to the Fund Manager in the form of fees and the significant terms of the agreement and the amount of compensation is 
disclosed below.

The Company has entered into the Management Agreement with the Fund Manager with respect to the management of the Portfolio.  
The main provisions of the Management Agreement are summarised below.

The Management Agreement is for an initial period of 10 years from its commencement date (Initial Term) unless earlier terminated in 
accordance with its terms. The commencement date (Commencement Date) is the date on which the company listed on the Australian Stock 
Exchange - 23 December 2005.

 
 
 
11

(c)  the Company is guilty of any gross default, breach, non observance or non performance of any of the terms and conditions contained 

in the Management Agreement; or

(d)  a receiver or receiver and manager is appointed to the whole or part of the undertakings of the Company; and

2. 

such notice is given not less than two years after the commencement of the Initial Term. 

The Company may immediately terminate the Management Agreement if:

(a)  the Fund Manager or any of its directors or servants are found guilty of grave misconduct in relation to the affairs of the Company; 

(b)  the Fund Manager’s AFSL is suspended or cancelled at any time for any reason;

(c)  the Fund Manager commits a fundamental default or breach of its obligations under the Management Agreement or is in breach of any 
conditions of its AFSL and such default or breach is not remedied within 30 days after the Company has notified the Fund Manager in 
writing to remedy that default or breach;

(d)  the Fund Manager enters into liquidation (except voluntary liquidation for the purpose of reconstruction);

(e)  a receiver or receiver and manager is appointed to the whole or part of the undertaking of the Fund Manager;

strategy applicable to the Company at the time the relevant investment is made; or

 (j)  the Fund Manager is not lawfully able to continue to provide services to the Company pursuant to the terms of the  

Management Agreement.

The Company may, by written notice to the Fund Manager at any time within six months after the end of any five year period during the term, 
terminate the Management Agreement if Shareholders pass an ordinary resolution to terminate and the average Portfolio return for the five  
12 month periods comprising the relevant five year period is less than the average percentage increase in the ASX All Ordinaries Index for 
those five 12 month periods.

The Board on a regular basis reviews the Management Agreement and Mandate to ensure compliance with the terms of the agreement.

The nature and impact of each new standard and amendment is described below:

REFERENCE
AASB 2012-3

AASB 2013-3

AASB 2013-4

AASB 2013-5

TITLE
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation to address 
inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the 
meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may 
be considered equivalent to net settlement.
Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
AASB 2013-3 amends the disclosure requirements in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. The amendments 
include the requirement to disclose additional information about the fair value measurement when the 
recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on fair value less costs of disposal. 
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge 
Accounting [AASB 139]
AASB 2013-4 amends AASB 139 to permit the continuation of hedge accounting in specified circumstances 
where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty 
to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations.
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities [AASB 1, AASB 3, AASB 7, AASB 10, 
AASB 12, AASB 107, AASB 112, AASB 124, AASB 127, AASB 132, AASB 134 & AASB 139]
These amendments define an investment entity and require that, with limited exceptions, an investment 
entity does not consolidate its subsidiaries or apply AASB 3 Business Combinations when it obtains control 
of another entity. 
These amendments require an investment entity to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value 
through profit or loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements. 
These amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities to AASB 12 and 
AASB 127.

TITLE
Amendments to AASB 1038 arising from AASB 10 in relation to consolidation and interests of policyholders 
[AASB 1038]
AASB 2013-7 removes the specific requirements in relation to consolidation from AASB 1038, which leaves 
AASB 10 as the sole source of consolidation requirements applicable to life insurance entities.
Materiality
The revised AASB 1031 is an interim standard that cross-references to other Standards and the Framework 
(issued December 2013) that contain guidance on materiality. 
AASB 1031 will be withdrawn when references to AASB 1031 in all Standards and Interpretations have  
been removed. 
AASB 2014-1 Part C issued in June 2014 makes amendments to eight Australian Accounting Standards to 
delete their references to AASB 1031. The amendments are effective from 1 July 2014.
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and  
Financial Instruments
The Standard contains three main parts and makes amendments to a number of Standards and Interpretations. 
Part A of AASB 2013-9 makes consequential amendments arising from the issuance of AASB CF 2013-1. 
Part B makes amendments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1031 
and also makes minor editorial amendments to various other standards.
Part C makes amendments to a number of Australian Accounting Standards, including incorporating 
Chapter 6 Hedge Accounting into AASB 9 Financial Instruments.
AASB 2014-1 Part A: This standard sets out amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from 
the issuance by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) of International Financial Reporting 
Standards (IFRSs) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 
2011–2013 Cycle.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle addresses the following items:
>  AASB 2 - Clarifies the definition of ‘vesting conditions’ and ‘market condition’ and introduces the 

definition of ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’.

>  AASB 3 - Clarifies the classification requirements for contingent consideration in a business 

combination by removing all references to AASB 137.

>  AASB 8 - Requires entities to disclose factors used to identify the entity’s reportable segments when 

operating segments have been aggregated. An entity is also required to provide a reconciliation of total 
reportable segment assets to the entity’s total assets. 

>  AASB 116 & AASB 138 - Clarifies that the determination of accumulated depreciation does not depend 
on the selection of the valuation technique and that it is calculated as the difference between the gross 
and net carrying amounts.

>  AASB 124 - Defines a management entity providing KMP services as a related party of the reporting 

entity. The amendments added an exemption from the detailed disclosure requirements in paragraph 
17 of AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures for KMP services provided by a management entity.  
Payments made to a management entity in respect of KMP services should be separately disclosed.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle addresses the following items:
>  AASB 13 - Clarifies that the portfolio exception in paragraph 52 of AASB 13 applies to all contracts 

within the scope of AASB 139 or AASB 9, regardless of whether they meet the definitions of financial 
assets or financial liabilities as defined in AASB 132.

>  AASB 140 - Clarifies that judgment is needed to determine whether an acquisition of investment 

property is solely the acquisition of an investment property or whether it is the acquisition of a group  
of assets or a business combination in the scope of AASB 3 that includes an investment property.  
That judgment is based on guidance in AASB 3.

Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards - 
Part B
Defined Benefit Plans: 
Employee Contributions 
(Amendments to AASB 119)

AASB 2014-Part B makes amendments in relation to the requirements for contributions from employees or 
third parties that are set out in the formal terms of the benefit plan and linked to service.
The amendments clarify that if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years 
of service, an entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the 
period in which the related service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods  
of service.

Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

SUMMARY

AASB 9

Financial Instruments

AASB 9 (December 2014) is a new standard which replaces AASB 139.  
This new version supersedes AASB 9 issued in December 2009 (as amended) 
and AASB 9 (issued in December 2010) and includes a model for classification 
and measurement, a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model 
and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting.
AASB 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.  
However, the Standard is available for early adoption. The own credit 
changes can be early adopted in isolation without otherwise changing the 
accounting for financial instruments.
Classification and measurement
AASB 9 includes requirements for a simpler approach for classification and 
measurement of financial assets compared with the requirements of AASB 
139. There are also some changes made in relation to financial liabilities.
The main changes are described below.
Financial assets

a.  Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) 
the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial 
assets; (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows.

b.  Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains 
and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for 
trading in other comprehensive income. Dividends in respect of these 
investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit 
or loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of  
the instrument.

c.  Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through 
profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly 
reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would arise 
from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses 
on them, on different bases.

Financial liabilities

Changes introduced by AASB 9 in respect of financial liabilities are limited to 
the measurement of liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss 
(FVPL) using the fair value option. 
Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities, the change in fair 
value is to be accounted for as follows:
>  The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other 

comprehensive income (OCI)

>  The remaining change is presented in profit or loss
AASB 9 also removes the volatility in profit or loss that was caused by 
changes in the credit risk of liabilities elected to be measured at fair value. 
This change in accounting means that gains or losses attributable to 
changes in the entity’s own credit risk would be recognised in OCI.  
These amounts recognised in OCI are not recycled to profit or loss if the 
liability is ever repurchased at a discount.
Impairment
The final version of AASB 9 introduces a new expected-loss impairment 
model that will require more timely recognition of expected credit losses. 
Specifically, the new Standard requires entities to account for expected credit 
losses from when financial instruments are first recognised and to recognise 
full lifetime expected losses on a more timely basis.
Hedge accounting
Amendments to AASB 9 (December 2009 & 2010 editions and AASB 2013-9) 
issued in December 2013 included the new hedge accounting requirements, 
including changes to hedge effectiveness testing, treatment of hedging 
costs, risk components that can be hedged and disclosures.
Consequential amendments were also made to other standards as a result of 
AASB 9, introduced by AASB 2009-11 and superseded by AASB 2010-7, AASB 
2010-10 and AASB 2014-1 – Part E.
AASB 2014-7 incorporates the consequential amendments arising from the 
issuance of AASB 9 in Dec 2014.
AASB 2014-8 limits the application of the existing versions of AASB 9 (AASB 
9 (December 2009) and AASB 9 (December 2010)) from 1 February 2015 and 
applies to annual reporting periods beginning on after 1 January 2015.

Amendments to 
Australian Accounting 
Standards – Sale or 
Contribution of Assets 
between an Investor 
and its Associate or 
Joint Venture

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers replaces the existing 
revenue recognition standards AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 
118 Revenue and related Interpretations (Interpretation 13 Customer 
Loyalty Programmes, Interpretation 15 Agreements for the Construction 
of Real Estate, Interpretation 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, 
Interpretation  131 Revenue–Barter Transactions Involving Advertising 
Services and Interpretation 1042 Subscriber Acquisition Costs in the 
Telecommunications Industry). AASB 15 incorporates the requirements of 
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers issued by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and developed jointly with the US 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
AASB 15 specifies the accounting treatment for revenue arising from 
contracts with customers (except for contracts within the scope of other 
accounting standards such as leases or financial instruments). The core 
principle of AASB 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that 
reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in 
exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in 
accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
(a)  Step 1:  Identify the contract(s) with a customer
(b)  Step 2:  Identify the performance obligations in the contract
(c)  Step 3:  Determine the transaction price
(d)  Step 4:  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in 

the contract

(e)  Step 5:  Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a 

performance obligation

Currently, AASB 15 is effective for annual reporting periods commencing on 
or after 1 January 2017. Early application is permitted. 
AASB 2014-5 incorporates the consequential amendments to a number 
Australian Accounting Standards (including Interpretations) arising from the 
issuance of AASB 15.
AASB 2014-10 amends AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and 
AASB 128 to address an inconsistency between the requirements in AASB 10 
and those in AASB 128 (August 2011), in dealing with the sale or contribution 
of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.  
The amendments require:
(a)  a full gain or loss to be recognised when a transaction involves a 

business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not); and

(b)  a partial gain or loss to be recognised when a transaction involves  

assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed 
in a subsidiary.

AASB 2014-10 also makes an editorial correction to AASB 10.
AASB 2014-10 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after  
1 January 2016. Early adoption permitted.

Financial Liabilities is not specifically required for all interim periods. 
However, the additional disclosure is required to be given in condensed

134 Interim Financial Reporting when its inclusion would be required by 
the requirements of AASB 134.

amends AASB 134 to clarify the meaning of disclosure of information 
‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’ and to require the inclusion of 
a cross-reference from the interim financial statements to the location of 
this information. 

The Standard makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial 
Statements arising from the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative project.  
The amendments are designed to further encourage companies to apply 
professional judgment in determining what information to disclose in 
the financial statements.  For example, the amendments make clear that 
materiality applies to the whole of financial statements and that the 
inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of financial 
disclosures.  The amendments also clarify that companies should use 
professional judgment in determining where and in what order information 
is presented in the financial disclosures.
The Standard completes the AASB’s project to remove Australian guidance 
on materiality from Australian Accounting Standards.

This makes amendments to AASB 10, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other 
Entities and AASB 128 arising from the IASB’s narrow scope amendments 
associated with Investment Entities.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments that are issued but not yet effective. New standards or 
amendments will be adopted when they become effective.

The Group is in the process of determining the impact of the adoption of these standards and amendments on its financial statements.

(c)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2015. Control is 
achieved when the Group is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to 
affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only the Group has:

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of 
the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when 
the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year 
are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. 

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the 
Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non controlling interest having a deficit balance. When necessary, 
adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting 
policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the 
Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses 
control over a subsidiary, it:

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2 Summary of significant accounting policies - CONTINUED

(d)  Investments and other financial assets

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets held for trading (financial assets at fair value through profit or loss), loans and 
receivables, held to maturity investments or available for sale investments, as appropriate.

When financial assets are initially recognised they are recorded at fair value, plus in the case of investments not held for trading, directly 
attributable transaction costs. The Fund Manager determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition.

(i)  Financial assets held for trading

After initial recognition investments which are classified as held for trading are measured at fair value, gains and losses on these 
investments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. For financial assets that are actively traded in organised 
financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the 
reporting date.

For financial assets where there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current market value of another 
instrument which is substantially the same or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of the 
financial assets. The fair value of options is determined using an appropriate option pricing model.

Purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or 
convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset.

(ii)  Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active 
market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition. For financial assets carried at amortised 
cost, gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the financial assets are derecognised or 
impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

(iii)  Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred 
control of the asset.

(e)  Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will 
flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.

(i) 

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts 
estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial 
instrument. Interest on cash on deposit is recognised in accordance with the terms and conditions that apply to the deposit.

(ii)  Dividends

Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies - CONTINUED

(f)  Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the year is tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the applicable 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 or 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 between the carrying amount and tax losses to the extent that 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 company 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 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.

(g)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an 
original maturity of three months or less.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes deposits held at call with banks or financial institutions.

(h)  Trade and other receivables

Receivables may include amounts for dividends, interest and securities sold where settlement has not yet occurred. Receivables are 
recognised and carried at the original invoice amount and interest accrues (using the effective interest rate method, which is the rate that 
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the effective life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial 
asset. Amounts are generally received within 30 days of being recorded as receivables.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis at an operating unit level. Individual debts that are known to be 
uncollectible are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Group 
will not be able to collect the receivable. Financial difficulties of the debtor, default payments or debts more than 60 days overdue are 
considered objective evidence of impairment. The amount of the impairment loss is the receivable carrying amount compared to the 
present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

(i)  Trade and other payables

Liabilities for creditors and other amounts are carried at amortised cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future 
for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company.

Payables include outstanding settlements on the purchase of investments and distributions payable. The carrying period is dictated by 
market conditions and is generally less than 30 days.

(j)  Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

(k)  Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Incomes, expenses and assets, with the exception of receivables and payables, are recognised net of the amount of GST, to the extent that 
GST is recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Where GST is not recoverable it is recognised as part of the cost of the asset or as 
part of the expense item as applicable.

Reduced input tax credits (RITC) recoverable by the Company from the ATO are recognised as receivables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flow on a gross basis and the GST component of the cash flows arising from investing 
and financing activities, which is recoverable from or payable to the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows.

(l)  Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the parent, adjusted for:

(cid:114)(cid:1) (cid:68)(cid:80)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:71)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:1)(cid:70)(cid:82)(cid:86)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:9)(cid:80)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:84)(cid:10)(cid:1)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:81)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:71)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:84)(cid:28)

(cid:114)(cid:1) (cid:80)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:79)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:14)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:84)(cid:68)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:68)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:1)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:86)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:70)(cid:89)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:86)(cid:83)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:88)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:77)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:86)(cid:77)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:71)(cid:83)(cid:80)(cid:78)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:77)(cid:86)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:71)(cid:1)(cid:81)(cid:80)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:66)(cid:77)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:28)

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

(m) Derivative financial instruments

The Group may use derivative financial instruments such as exchange traded options to manage its risks associated with share price 
fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered 
into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when 
their fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to net profit or loss for the year.

Exchange traded options

From time to time, the Group writes and then trades Exchange Traded Options (‘ETO’s’), the Company’s policy for managing its risk for 
ETO’s is to ensure it only writes ETO’s against shares that it physically holds. ETO’s are governed by the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) 
and are traded on the ASX.

ETO’s are recognised as liabilities at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of ETO’s, are taken directly to net 
profit or loss for the year.

(n)  Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a 
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(o)  Pension benefits

Defined contribution plan

Contributions to superannuation funds are charged to the statement of comprehensive income when incurred.

(p)  Share based payments

Equity settled transactions

The Company can provide benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share based payments, 
whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity settled transactions).

There are currently no formal plans in place to provide these benefits.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the 
date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model.

In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than (if applicable):

(cid:114)(cid:1) (cid:47)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:14)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:1)(cid:68)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:80)(cid:1)(cid:79)(cid:80)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:69)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:78)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:88)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:40)(cid:83)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:81)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:36)(cid:80)(cid:78)(cid:81)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:74)(cid:87)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:70)(cid:83)(cid:87)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:77)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:70)(cid:78)(cid:81)(cid:77)(cid:80)(cid:90)(cid:70)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:1)

receive payment in equity or cash, and

(cid:114)(cid:1) (cid:36)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:77)(cid:74)(cid:79)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:81)(cid:83)(cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:71)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:70)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:73)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:70)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:71)(cid:1)(cid:44)(cid:66)(cid:85)(cid:66)(cid:79)(cid:66)(cid:1)(cid:36)(cid:66)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:66)(cid:77)(cid:1)(cid:45)(cid:74)(cid:78)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:70)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:9)(cid:78)(cid:66)(cid:83)(cid:76)(cid:70)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:68)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:69)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:74)(cid:80)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:10)(cid:15)(cid:1)

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the 
performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become 
fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the product of:

(a)  The grant date fair value of the award.

(b)  The current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee 

turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met.

(c)  The expired portion of the vesting period.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

2 Summary of significant accounting policies - CONTINUED

(p)  Share based payments - CONTINUED

Equity settled transactions - CONTINUED

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above, less the amounts 
already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity. Equity-settled awards granted by Katana Capital Limited to 
employees of subsidiaries are recognised in the parent’s separate financial statements as an additional investment in the subsidiary with 
a corresponding credit to equity. As a result, the expense recognised by Katana Capital Limited in relation to equity-settled awards only 
represents the expense associated with grants to employees of the parent. The expense recognised by the Group is the total expense 
associated with all such awards.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally 
anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition or non-vesting condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or 
not that market condition or non-vesting condition is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.

If a non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group, Company or the employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a 
cancellation. If a non-vesting condition within the control of neither the Group, Company nor employee is not satisfied during the vesting 
period, any expense for the award not previously recognised is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified.  
An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement,  
or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. 

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for 
the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement 
award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award,  
as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share. 
Shares in the Group reacquired on-market are classified and disclosed as reserved shares and deducted from equity.

(q)  Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity, Katana Capital Limited, disclosed in note 22 has been prepared on the same basis as the 
consolidated financial statements.

(r)  Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.  
The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments,  
has been identified as the strategic steering committee.

(s)  Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The determination of fair value of unlisted securities requires the application of a discounted cashflow valuation model. A discounted 
cashflow model requires that certain judgements and assumptions are made, including an estimate for the discount rate applied and  
an estimation of future uncertain cashflows.

When managing capital, management’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal 
returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the 
lowest cost of capital available to the entity. Management is constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable 
costs of capital or high returns on assets. The Company defines its capital as the total funds under management, being $41,920,922 at 
30 June 2015 (30 June 2014: $36,396,344), including equities and cash reserves. The Company does not have any additional externally 
imposed capital requirements however has as a goal the ability to continue to grow assets under management and maintain a sustainable 
dividend return to shareholders. To assist with meeting its internal guidelines, Katana Asset Management Limited holds regular Investment 
Committee meetings to assess the equity portfolio.

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16 Financial risk management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on ensuring compliance with the Company’s Investment Mandate and seeks to 
maximise the returns derived for the level of risk to which the Company is exposed.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to alter certain risk exposures. Financial risk management is carried out by the Investment 
Manager under policies approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

The Group 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 ratings analysis for credit risk.

(a)  Mandate

The Fund Manager must manage the Portfolio in accordance with guidelines for management set out in the Mandate, which may be 
amended by written agreement between the Company and the Fund Manager from time to time. The mandate provides that the Portfolio

is received to do otherwise.

(b)  Portfolio composition and management

The aim of the Fund Manager is to build for the Group a portfolio of 20 to 60 companies, with an emphasis towards holding a larger 
number of smaller positions. Under the current Mandate, the Company’s Portfolio may vary from between 0 to 80 securities, depending 
upon investment opportunities and prevailing market conditions. The Fund Manager may construct a Portfolio comprising of any 
combination of cash, investment and debt, subject to gearing limits in the Mandate. Under the Mandate, total cumulative gearing on the 
Portfolio may not exceed 50% of the total value of the net tangible assets of the Group after tax.

The capacity to short sell securities, as well as employ debt, allows the Fund Manager the flexibility to implement an absolute return 
strategy. It should also be noted that, despite the focus on emerging and green chip companies, in periods of overly negative market of 
stock sentiment, the best investment opportunities on a risk return basis are often found in the ASX S&P Index top 20 and ASX S&P Index 
top 100 stocks by market capitalisation. Often the larger stocks rebound first, hence providing not just safer returns, but quicker returns.

The Fund Manager may form views on the factors outlined above, may re-weight the Portfolio accordingly.

(d)  Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and prices will affect the Company income or the carrying 
value of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable 
parameters, while optimising the return on risk.

(i)  Price Risk

The Company is exposed to equity securities, convertible notes and derivative securities price risk. This arises from investments held 
by the Company for which prices in the future are uncertain. The paragraph below sets out how this component of price risk is 
managed and measured. 

Investments are classified in the statement of financial position as held for trading. All securities investments present a risk of loss of 
capital. Except for equities sold short, the maximum risk resulting from financial instruments is determined by the fair value of the 
financial instruments. Possible losses from equities sold short can be unlimited.

The Investment Manager mitigates price risk through diversification and a careful selection of securities and other financial 
instruments within specified limits set by the Board.

The table on page 40 summarises the impact of an increase/decrease in the Australian Securities Exchange All Ordinaries Index on the 
Company’s net assets attributable to shareholders at 30 June 2015. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the index increased/
decreased by 10% (2014: 10%) with all other variables held constant and that the fair value of the Company’s portfolio of equity 
securities and derivatives moved according to the historical correlation with the index. The impact mainly arises from the possible 
change in the fair value of listed equities, unlisted unit trusts and equity derivatives with combined value of $37,776,106  
(2014: $29,008,233) that represented the maximum exposure as at reporting date.

(ii)  Foreign exchange risk

The Company does not hold any monetary and non-monetary assets denominated in currencies other than the Australian dollar.

(iii)  Interest rate risk

The Company’s interest bearing financial assets expose it to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of 
market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis.

Compliance with the Company’s policy is reported to the Board on a monthly basis. The Company may also enter into derivative 
financial instruments to mitigate the risk of future interest rate changes.

The table below summarises the impact of an increase/decrease of interest rates on the Company’s operating profit and net assets 
attributable to shareholders through changes in fair value or changes in future cash flows. The analysis is based on the assumption 
that interest rates changed by +/- 50 basis points (2014: +/- 50 basis points) from the year end rates with all other variables held 
constant. The impact mainly arises from changes in the fair value of fixed interest securities.

(e)  Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Company’s operating profit and other comprehensive income to interest rate 
risk and other price risk. The reasonably possible movements in the risk variables have been determined based on management’s best 
estimate, having regard to a number of factors, including historical levels of changes in interest rates, historical correlation of the Company 
investments with the relevant benchmark and market volatility. However, actual movements in the risk variables may be greater or less 
than anticipated due to a number of factors, including unusually large market shocks resulting from changes in the performance of the 
economies, markets and securities in which the Company invest. As a result, historic variations in risk variables should not be used to 
predict future variations in the risk variables.

Credit risk primarily arises from investments in debt securities and from trading derivative products. Other credit risk arises from cash and 
cash equivalents, deposits with banks and other financial institutions and amounts due from brokers. None of these assets are impaired 
nor past due but not impaired.

As at 30 June 2015 the Company does not hold any debt securities (30 June 2014: Nil).

The Company does trade in Exchange Traded Options (“ETO’s”). The Investment Manager has established limits such that, at any time, such 
that options are not traded without holding the physical security in the portfolio and contracts are with counterparties included in the 
Board’s Approved Counterparties list. As at 30 June 2015 the Company held no Exchange Traded Options (30 June 2014: 4 ETO’s).

Compliance with the Company’s policy is reported to the Board on a monthly basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets. 

The majority of cash assets are held with one bank.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

(g)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. 
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows on a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. 

To control liquidity and cash flow interest rate risk, the Company invests in financial instruments which under normal market conditions are 
readily convertible to cash. In addition the Company invests within the Mandate guidelines to ensure that there is no concentration of risk. 

The Company held no derivatives (ETO’s) as at 30 June 2015 (30 June 2014: $35,123 liability).

Financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade and other payables and dividends payable. Trade and other payables have no 
contractual maturities but are typically settled within 30 days. 

(h)  Fair value measurements

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

The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of a financial instrument. The methods comprise:
(a)  Level 1 -  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(b)  Level 2 -  valuation technique for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly 

observable.

(c)  Level 3 -  valuation technique for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value movement that is not observable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have 
occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value 
measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2015.

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

16 Financial risk management - CONTINUED

(h)  Fair value measurements - CONTINUED

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available for sale 
securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by 
the Company is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. 

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted investments) is determined using 
valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at 
the end of each reporting period. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used to estimate fair value for long 
term debt for disclosure purposes. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the 
remaining financial instruments. In determining the fair value of the securities the company holds in the unlisted investments,  
the company referred to the Net Tangible Assets of the investee, recent trading in units of the investee and all other market factors 
associated with the unlisted investment.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are dependent on the change of input variables used to determine fair value, namely 
changes in market prices of equity securities. The majority of the investments are invested in shares of companies listed on the Australian 
Stock Exchange which are valued based on market observable information.

There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the year.

The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments for the year ended 30 June 2015:

The level 3 financial instrument above relates to an unlisted investment that was purchased on 19 June 2015. The input to the valuation 
includes the adjusted net assets as at 30 June 2015 of the investee, the purchase price, and the indicative initial public offering (IPO) price 
per share sourced directly from the investee on its plan for IPO in FY16. An increase or decrease of 10% on the valuation would result in an 
increase/(decrease) in fair value by $50,000 (2014: $nil).

17 Segment reporting

For management purposes, the Group is organised into one main operating segment, which invests in equity securities, debt instruments, 
and related derivatives. All of the Group’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent on the others. Accordingly, all significant 
operating disclosures are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the 
financial statements of the Group as a whole.

The Group operates from one geographic location, being Australia, from where its investing activities are managed.

The Group does not derive revenue of more than 10% from any one of its investments held.

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

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be 
issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

There were 45,706,657 options on issue as at 30 June 2015 (30 June 2014: Nil) that are not considered dilutive.

19 Events occurring after reporting date

Other than the events below, the directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has significantly or may significantly affect the 
operations of the company or the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the company in subsequent financial years. 

On 3 August 2015 the Company declared a fully franked 1.5 cent per share dividend.

At the time of writing this report, the Directors note and following 30 June 2015, that there has been a correction in the All Ordinaries with the 
index down from 5,451 points at 30 June 2015 to 5,076 points at 25 September 2015, representing a decrease of 6.9%. As this is the only Securities 
Exchange the Company invests in, changes in the value of the Company’s investments are reflected in the Company’s Net Tangible Asset Backing 
per share which is reported to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) monthly and is available via the ASX website. From 30 June 2015 to  
31 August 2015, the Company’s Net Tangible Asset Backing per share has decreased by 3.21%.The further impact for the month of September  
will be determined and reflected in the Company’s Net Tangible Asset Backing per share in 30 September 2015 monthly report to ASX.

Tax consolidation legislation

Katana Capital Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation legislation from 1 July 2007.

(i)  Members of the tax consolidated Group and the tax sharing arrangement.

Katana Capital Limited and its 100% owned Australian resident subsidiaries formed a tax consolidated Group from 1 July 2007. Katana 
Capital Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated Group. Members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing agreement that 
provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. 
No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement on the basis that the possibility of default is 
remote (see Note 4).

(ii)  Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated Group

Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences are recognised in the separate 
financial statements of the members of the tax consolidated Group using the Group allocation method. Current tax liabilities and assets 
and deferred tax assets arising from the unused tax losses and tax credits of the members of the tax consolidated Group are recognised by 
Katana Capital Limited, the head entity of the tax consolidated Group.

Members of the tax consolidated Group have entered into a tax funding agreement. Amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable 
by the Company and each member of the consolidated Group in relation to tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the 
parent entity and other members of the tax consolidated Group in accordance with this agreement. Where the tax contribution amount 
recognised by each member of the tax consolidated Group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or 
asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in respect of that period, the distribution is recognised as a 
contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.

23 Commitments and contingencies

There are no outstanding contingent liabilities or commitments as at 30 June 2015 (30 June 2014: Nil).

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Katana Capital Limited

Report on the financial report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Katana Capital Limited, which comprises the
consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2015, the consolidated statement of
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

such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the financial

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 judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's
internal controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act
2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy
of which is included in the directors’ report.

KATANA CAPITAL LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

The Board has a Corporate Governance Statement which outlines the role and duties of the Board. 

The Company considers that the primary responsibility of the Board is to oversee the Company’s business activities and management for the 
benefit of the shareholders by:

(a)  supervising the Company’s framework of control and accountability systems to enable risk to be assessed and managed which includes but is 

not limited to the points noted below: 

(b)  ensuring the Company is properly managed by: 

i. 

setting and communicating clear objectives; 

ii.  appointing and removing the Managing Director of the Company; 

iii. 

ratifying the appointment and, where appropriate, the removal of the Chief Financial Officer and the Company secretary; 

iv. 

input into and final approval of management’s development of corporate strategy and performance objectives; 

v. 

reviewing and ratifying systems of risk management and internal compliance and control, codes of conduct, and legal compliance; 

vi.  monitoring senior management’s performance and implementation of strategy, and ensuring appropriate resources are available; 

(c)  approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and divestitures; 

(d)  approval of the annual budget; 

(e)  monitoring the financial performance of the Company; 

(f )  approving and monitoring financial and other reporting; 

(g)  overall corporate governance of the Company, including conducting regular reviews of the balance of responsibilities within the Company to 

ensure division of functions remain appropriate to the needs of the Company; 

(h)  liaising with the Company’s external auditors either directly or via the Audit Committee as appropriate; and 

(i)  monitoring, and ensuring compliance with, all of the Company’s legal obligations, in particular those obligations relating to the environment, 

native title, cultural heritage and occupational health and safety.

Katana does not employ a Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director, but instead has a Fund Manager that is responsible for the Investment Risk 
Management and management of the equity Portfolio. The Fund Manager is responsible for running the affairs of the Company under delegated 
authority from the Board and to implement the policies and strategy set by the Board. In carrying out their responsibilities the Fund Manager must 
report to the Board in a timely manner and ensure all reports to the Board present a true and fair view of the Company’s financial condition and 
operational results. 

Matters which are not covered by the delegations require Board approval. 

The Corporate Governance Statement is available on the Company’s website in the Corporate Governance section. 

The Remuneration Committee annually assesses and evaluates the performance of the Board and the Managing Director. 

Katana undertakes appropriate checks before appointing a person, or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election, as a director. 
Security holders will be provided with all material information in its possession relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect a 
director in the relevant notice of meeting. Katana enters in to written agreements with its Directors and Senior Executives which set out the terms 
of their appointment.

Performance measures are established by the Board and outcomes of the review are reported to the Board.

Each Director has access to the Company Secretary for advice and support in effectively discharging their roles. The Company Secretary is 
accountable directly to the board. Additionally, each Board member may seek external professional advice at the expense of the Company in 
respect of their roles with the approval of the Chairman.

The Company does not have a documented procedure for the evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees, directors or senior executives. 

An evaluation of the performance of the Board, its directors and senior executives is undertaken informally each year. The Chairman of the Board is 
the driver of this process. This year the Chairman conducted interviews with each director and senior executives.

The evaluation of the performance of the Board’s various committees is undertaken on an exception basis. This is also an informal process which is 
driven by the Chairman of the Board.

the operations of the Board and its Committees; and outlines the Company’s culture and values as well as the strategic, financial, operational,  
and risk issues within the Company.

A biography profiling each Directors’ skill, experience, and expertise is set out in the Directors’ Report along with their respective term of office.

Company’s financial reporting, internal control structure, risk management procedures, and the internal and external audit function.

Committee. The Committee’s charter is published on the Company’s website. The Audit and Risk Committee is chaired by Mr Peter Walalce,  
an independent director, who is not the chair of the board.

The committee meets at least twice per annum and meetings are co-ordinated to coincide with the release of the Company’s interim and full 
year financial reports and audits. The Committee has access to external auditors and a high degree of financial literacy is prevalent amongst the 
committee members. The details, qualifications, and experience of each committee member and the attendance of committee members at Audit 
and Risk Management Committee meetings are contained in the Directors’ Report. 

The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer equivalent have provided the Board with a declaration in accordance with Section 295A 
of the Corporations Act 2001, assuring the Board that a sound system of risk management and internal control is operating effectively in aspects 
related to financial reporting risks.

material information about the Company and its prospects.

The disclosure obligations include:

that material information is disclosed to the ASX.

The Continuous Disclosure Policy can be found on the company’s website.

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders

strategy requires communication with shareholders and other stakeholders in an open, regular and timely manner so that the market has sufficient 
information to make informed investment decisions on the operations and results of the company. The strategy provides for the use of systems 
that ensure a regular and timely release of information about the company is provided to shareholders. Mechanisms employed include:

The Company is committed to the identification; monitoring and management of risks associated with its business activities and has embedded in 
its management and reporting systems a number of risk management controls. The Fund Manager is charged with implementing appropriate risk 
management systems within the Company and in particular with the investment process. 

The Board monitors and receives advice on areas from the Fund Manager on operational and financial risk, and considers strategies for appropriate 
risk management arrangements. The Fund Manager has an Investment Committee that meets on a regular basis to analyse, monitor and review 
the investment portfolio. 

Specific areas of risk identified initially and which will be regularly considered at Board meetings include financial performance, performance of 
portfolio, compliance within regulatory framework, markets, statutory compliance and continuous disclosure obligations. The Fund Manager has 
its own Investment Committee that regularly reviews the Company’s portfolio and reviews the performance of individual stocks. The Investment 
Committee also makes recommendations on significant investments and conducts its own research to assist with this process.

The annual report details material financial and investment risks which arose during the reporting period (see notes to financial statements). 

The board and committee have met during the year to review the entity’s risk management framework and associated risks. The board and 
committee do not consider that the Company currently has any material exposure to economic risk. The Company faces economic risks inherent 
to its business, which may materially impact the Company’s ability to create or preserve value for security holders over the short, medium or long 
term. The Company has policies and procedures in place to help mitigate and manage the financial risks. The Board and committee do not believe 
that the company has any environmental or social sustainability risks. 

The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer equivalent have provided the Board with a declaration in accordance with Section 295A 
of the Corporations Act 2001, assuring the Board that a sound system of risk management and internal control is operating effectively in aspects 
related to financial reporting risks. 

The Company does not have an internal audit function, however manages part of this process via, internal controls and risk management overseen 
by the fund manager as part of their mandate terms and conditions. Information on the Company’s charter of the Audit and Risk Committee is 
available on the Company’s website in the ‘Investors’ section.

requirement for remuneration committee

can be found in the Annual Report.
