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. 

01

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 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 2016.

FY16 
financial 
year review

The All Ordinaries Index started FY16 at 
5,451.2 points and fell by 2.58% during the 
course of the year to close at 5,310.4 points 
on 30 June 2016. FY16 was characterised as 
another year of low global growth during 
which the US Federal Reserve commenced 
its interest rate hiking cycle and concern 
about the level of bad debts in the Chinese 
and Italian banking systems increased. 
Subsequent to the financial year end, the UK 
voted to leave the European Union (‘Brexit’) 
in July 2016. Katana outperformed its 
benchmark by 7.21% with a positive (gross) 
return of 4.63%. This extended its track 
record of outperformance to nine out of the 
past eleven years since the Fund’s inception 
(before fees and taxes). A summary of the 
Fund’s returns compared to the All Ords 
Index is shown in the table (left).

The Manager continued to hold between 
50-60 individual stock positions and a high 
level of cash over FY16. The Manager is 
committed to maintaining a diversified 
portfolio, which it believes, provides 
better risk adjusted returns compared 
to achieving that same outcome with a 
concentrated portfolio. 

The bar chart (left) illustrates the Manager’s 
track record of outperformance in each 
of the past eleven years together with its 
average level of outperformance over this 
period. The Manager increased the Fund’s 
holdings in large energy and mining stocks 
in FY16 and reduced its overweight tilt to 
financials. These changes are represented 
in the top 10 stocks, which now also 
include two consumer stocks. All of the top 
10 companies have strong balance sheets 
and produce robust cash flows. The top 10 
holdings as at 30 June 2016 are shown in 
the pie chart (left).

outlook

The world remains in a low global growth 
environment despite significant monetary 
stimulus being injected by many of the 
world’s central banks. Growth in the US 
economy does appear to be recovering 
slowly and interest rates should continue 
to normalise over the next several years. 

Europe and Japan have implemented  
very accommodative monetary policy,  
which has resulted in bond yields trading at 
negative rates. Despite this, growth in these 
geographies remains tepid; unemployment 
is only declining slowly; and inflation remains 
well below central bank targets. China is 
trying to rebalance its economy away from 
fixed asset investment and more towards 
consumer expenditure and despite it having 
some success, there is concern over the high 
level of bad debts in its financial system.

Australia continues to grow at a sub-trend 
pace with the lower Australian dollar 
assisting non-mining sectors such as tourism, 
education and agricultural production as it 
transitions away from mining investment. 
Demand is being driven by the emerging 
middle classes in China and other Asian 
countries. This region contains some 40% of 
the world’s population and should continue 
to increase demand for a broad range of 
products and services for many years to 
come. As an example, seven of the top 
10 sources of Australian inbound tourism 
are from Asia and there is a similar theme 
occurring in education. Low interest rates 
have facilitated strong growth in housing 
demand although new home approvals are 
currently peaking. Healthcare services are 
also growing strongly aided by an ageing 
population. Volume growth in liquefied 
natural gas (LNG) and iron ore exports 
are also partly offsetting the decline in 
commodity prices.

The low growth environment is  
providing a tailwind to companies in  
the form of lower interest rates and  
lower input costs, which is being partly 
offset by reduced consumption growth 
due to an ageing population and lower 
immigration. In addition, technological 
change is disrupting traditional business 
models and in many cases, reducing 
operating margins. This issue and the 
associated uncertain outlook has resulted 
in many companies cutting back on 
investment and instead simply using  
any excess funds to pay higher dividends 
and/or to buy back shares.

Despite the uncertain  
environment, the Manager  
remains committed to  
outperforming its benchmark  
and rewarding shareholders  
with solid dividends.

Katana paid four quarterly 1.5 cent 
dividends, totalling six cents ($0.06) during 
FY16. Three of the dividends totalling  
4.5c were fully franked and one of 1.5c  
was 50% franked.

Despite the uncertain environment,  
the Manager remains committed  
to outperforming its benchmark  
and rewarding shareholders with  
solid dividends.

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.

While this is exactly what shareholders are 
looking for in the short term, profitability 
will inevitably decline if this continues over 
the longer term. 

strategy

Overall, the Manager believes the stock 
market will move slightly higher and 
provide modest total shareholder returns  
in FY17, boosted by low interest rates;  
a more reasonably priced Australian dollar; 
and a gradual improvement in global 
economic growth. 

The Manager has added a few large 
resource stocks to the portfolio as it 
believes we have now seen the low in the 
oil price and potentially other commodity 
prices, too. It has also increased the Fund’s 
holdings of quality small and mid-cap 
companies that are able to grow earnings 
and dividends despite being in a low 
growth environment and trimmed some  
of its previous financial positions.  
The Manager believes that dividends will 
continue to form a greater part of total 
shareholder returns in this low growth 
environment. Although the Manager 
has recently deployed some of its cash 
holdings into the stock market, it is likely 
to maintain higher average cash balances 
in FY17 as it will only invest valuable 
shareholder funds when it considers the 
risk/return equation to be favourable.  
The Manager believes the share market  
will continue to experience periods of 
volatility and will use any weak periods to 
add to its holdings. 

Corporate

Katana Capital Ltd finished FY16 with 
44.7m shares on issue. During the period 
from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016, 753,968 
shares were bought back on market and 
were subsequently cancelled. The shares 
were acquired at an average price of $0.80 
with the price ranging from $0.76 to $0.835 
per share. The buyback also provided 
liquidity and increased the underlying net 
asset backing for all existing shareholders.

Operating and Financial Review
Company overview

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 started FY16 at 5,451.2 points and fell by 2.58% during the course of the year to close at 5,310.4 points on 30 June 2016. 
FY16 was characterised as another year of low global growth during which the US Federal Reserve commenced its interest rate hiking cycle and 
concern about the level of bad debts in the Chinese and Italian banking systems increased. Subsequent to the financial year end, the UK voted 
to leave the European Union (‘Brexit’) in July 2016. Katana outperformed its benchmark by 7.21% with a positive return of 4.63%. This extended 
its track record of outperformance to nine out of the past eleven years since the Fund’s inception (before fees and taxes). Katana increased the 
Fund’s holdings in large energy and mining stocks in FY16 and reduced its overweight tilt to financials. These changes are represented in the 
top 10 stocks, which also now include two consumer stocks. All of the top 10 companies have strong balance sheets and produce robust cash 
flows. The profit after tax for the year was $598,401 (2015: $1,157,799 loss after tax).

investments for future performance

The Manager is committed to maintaining a diversified portfolio, which it believes, provides better risk adjusted returns compared to achieving 
that same outcome with a concentrated portfolio. The Manager continued to hold between 50-60 individual stock positions and manage cash 
to match risk profile. Similar to a position taken in FY16, Katana’s Fund Manager will seek to continue to find value including in a number of 
mid and small-cap companies. In addition to this, during FY16 the Fund Manager invested in a number of successful IPOs and will continue to 
assess quality IPO opportunities in which to invest into. Key to the Fund’s investment outlook is its maintenance of the current dividend cycle.

Cash from operations

Net cash inflows from operations were $12,163,093 (2015: outflows $10,184,260) during the year which reflects the Group’s investment from 
the Australian equities market.

Net cash flows for the financial year ending 30 June 2017 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.

Liquidity and funding

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.

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 1.5 cent dividend declared on 9 August 2016, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has significantly or 
may significantly affect the operation of the Company or the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent 
financial years.

Directors’ Report

Likely Developments and Expected Results
The world remains in a low global growth environment despite significant monetary stimulus being injected by many of the world’s central 
banks. Growth in the US economy does appear to be recovering slowly and interest rates should continue to normalise here over the next 
several years. Europe and Japan have implemented very accommodative monetary policy, which has resulted in bond yields trading at 
negative rates. Despite this, growth in these geographies remains tepid; unemployment is only declining slowly; and inflation remains 
well below central bank targets. China is trying to rebalance its economy away from fixed asset investment and more towards consumer 
expenditure and despite it having some success, there is concern over the high level of bad debts in its financial system.

Australia continues to grow at a sub-trend pace with the lower Australian dollar assisting non-mining sectors such as tourism, education and 
agricultural production as it transitions away from mining investment. Demand is being driven by the emerging middle classes in China and 
other Asian countries. This region contains some 40% of the world’s population and should continue to increase demand for a broad range 
of products and services for many years to come. As an example, seven of the top 10 sources of Australian inbound tourism are from Asia and 
there is a similar theme occurring in education. Low interest rates have facilitated strong growth in housing demand although new home 
approvals are currently peaking. Healthcare services are also growing strongly aided by an ageing population. Volume growth in liquefied 
natural gas (LNG) and iron ore exports are also partly offsetting the decline in commodity prices.

The low growth environment is providing a tailwind to companies in the form of lower interest rates and lower input costs, which is being 
partly offset by reduced consumption growth due to an ageing population and lower immigration. In addition, technological change is 
disrupting traditional business models and in many cases, reducing operating margins. This issue and the associated uncertain outlook has 
resulted in many companies cutting back on investment and instead simply using any excess funds to pay higher dividends and/or to buy 
back shares. While this is exactly what shareholders are looking for in the short term, profitability will inevitably decline if this continues over 
the longer term.

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 (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

Remuneration Report (Audited) - COntInUed
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 linked to company performance. However, 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 acts 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.

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. During the year there were no 
external consultants utilised to provide remuneration recommendation.

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 2016 is detailed on page 11 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.

The initial Management Agreement was due to expire at the end of 2015, however the agreement was renewed at the shareholder’s 
Annual General Meeting held on 24 November 2015 for a further period of 5 years and was renewed on the following basis:
1. 
2. 
3. 

the renewal is approved by Shareholders of the Company, such approval being sought by ordinary resolution;
the Fund Manager is not in breach of the Management Agreement; and 
the Fund Manager has not in the reasonable opinion of the Board, materially breached the Management Agreement.

(h)  the Fund Manager fails to remedy a breach of the Management Agreement within the time period reasonably specified in a notice 

from the Company requiring it to do so;

(i) 

(j)

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.

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.

Application 
of Australian 
Accounting 
Standards

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

AASB 2015-8 amended the AASB 15 effective date so it is now effective 
 for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2018.  
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 2016-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – 
Clarifications to AASB 15 amends AASB 15 to clarify the requirements on 
identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations 
and the timing of recognising revenue from granting a licence and provides 
further practical expedients on transition to AASB 15.
This Standard lists the application paragraphs for each other Standard (and 
Interpretation), grouped where they are the same. Accordingly, paragraphs 
5 and 22 respectively specify the application paragraphs for Standards and 
Interpretations in general. Differing application paragraphs are set out for 
individual Standards and Interpretations or grouped where possible. 
The application paragraphs do not affect requirements in other Standards 
that specify that certain paragraphs apply only to certain types of entities.

AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting: 
•	 Disclosure	of	information	‘elsewhere	in	the	interim	financial	report’	-	

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.
This Standard inserts scope paragraphs into AASB 8 and AASB 133 in place 
of application paragraph text in AASB 1057. This is to correct inadvertent 
removal of these paragraphs during editorial changes made in August 2015. 
There is no change to the requirements or the applicability of AASB 8 and 
AASB 133.

lessee accounting
•	

Lessees	are	required	to	recognise	assets	and	liabilities	for	all	leases	with	a	
term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value.
A	lessee	measures	right-of-use	assets	similarly	to	other	non-financial	
assets and lease liabilities similarly to other financial liabilities. 
Assets	and	liabilities	arising	from	a	lease	are	initially	measured	on	a	
present value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease 
payments (including inflation-linked payments), and also includes 
payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably 
certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an 
option to terminate the lease.
AASB	16	contains	disclosure	requirements	for	lessees.

operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of 
leases differently.
AASB	16	also	requires	enhanced	disclosures	to	be	provided	by	lessors	
that will improve information disclosed about a lessor’s risk exposure,

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

2  Summary of significant accounting policies - COntInUed
(c)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2016.  
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:

•	

•	

•	

Power	over	the	investee	(i.e.	existing	rights	that	give	it	the	current	ability	to	direct	the	relevant	activities	of	the	investee)

Exposure,	or	rights,	to	variable	returns	from	its	involvement	with	the	investee,	and

The	ability	to	use	its	power	over	the	investee	to	affect	its	returns

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and 
circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

•	

•	

•	

The	contractual	arrangement	with	the	other	vote	holders	of	the	investee

Rights	arising	from	other	contractual	agreements

The	Group’s	voting	rights	and	potential	voting	rights

24

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:

•	 De-recognises	the	assets	(including	goodwill)	and	liabilities	of	the	subsidiary

•	 De-recognises	the	carrying	amount	of	any	non-controlling	interests

•	 De-recognises	the	cumulative	translation	differences	recorded	in	equity

•	

•	

•	

•	

Recognises	the	fair	value	of	the	consideration	received

Recognises	the	fair	value	of	any	investment	retained

Recognises	any	surplus	or	deficit	in	profit	or	loss

Reclassifies	the	parent’s	share	of	components	previously	recognised	in	OCI	to	profit	or	loss	or	retained	earnings,	as	appropriate,	 
as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

(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 Group 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.

(d) 

investments and other financial assets - COntInUed

(iii)  De-recognition 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:

> 

> 

> 

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without 
material delay to a third party lender under a “pass through” arrangement; or

the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks 
and 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.

25

(ii)  Dividends

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

(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 Group 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.

Collectability 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.

2  Summary of significant accounting policies - COntInUed
(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 Group.

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)

26

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 Group 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:

>  costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends;

>  other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential  

ordinary shares;

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 Group’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.

Financial StatementSKatana capital limited 2016 AnnuAl RepoRt2  Summary of significant accounting policies - COntInUed
(p)  Share based payments

Equity settled transactions

The Group 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):

>  Non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group or Company receives the services that entitle the employees to 

receive payment in equity or cash, and

>  Conditions that are linked to the price of the shares of Katana Capital Limited (market conditions). 

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:

27

(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.

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.

11  Issued capital - COntInUed
(a)  movements in ordinary share capital: - COntInUed

Fully paid ordinary shares carry one vote per share and carry the right to dividends.

During the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016, 753,968 shares were bought back on market and were subsequently cancelled.  
The shares were acquired at an average price of $0.80 with the price ranging from $0.76 to $0.835 per share.

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) for its dividend distribution, which shareholders have the discretion to join or exit. 
The DRP shares are managed via an on-market buyback of shares that are then re-distributed to shareholders. During the year as part of 
the DRP the Company issued 94,997 new shares to meet the DRP shortfall for buyback shares acquired on-market.

(b)  Capital management

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 Group defines its capital as the total funds under management, being $40,136,795 at  
30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: $41,920,922), including equities and cash reserves. The Group 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.

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 will be managed with the following investment objectives:

> 

> 

to achieve a pre-tax and pre expense return which outperforms the ASX All Ordinaries Index; and

the preservation of capital invested. The Mandate permits the Fund Manager to undertake investments in:

(i) 

listed securities;

(ii)  rights to subscribe for or convert to listed securities (whether or not such rights are tradable on a securities exchange);

(iii)  any securities which the Fund Manager reasonably expects will be quoted on the ASX within a 24 month period from the date 

of investment;

(iv)  listed securities for the purpose of short selling;

(v)  warrants or options to purchase any investment and warrants or options to sell any investment;

(vi)  discount or purchase of bills of exchange, promissory notes or other negotiable instruments accepted, drawn or endorsed 
by any bank or by the Commonwealth of Australia, any State or Territory of Australia, or by any corporation of at least an 
investment grade credit rating granted by a recognised credit rating agency in Australia;

(vii) deposits with any bank or corporation declared to be an authorised dealer in the short term money market;

(viii) debentures, unsecured notes, loan stock, bonds, promissory notes, certificates of deposit, interest bearing accounts, certificates 
of indebtedness issued by any bank or by the Commonwealth of Australia, any State or Territory of Australia, any Australian 
government authority, or a corporation of at least an investment grade credit rating granted by a recognised credit rating 
agency in Australia;

(ix)  units or other interest in cash management trusts;

(x)  underwriting or sub-underwriting of securities as and where permitted by relevant laws and regulations and the Fund 

Manager’s AFSL; and

(xi)  any other investment, or investment of a particular kind, approved by the Company in writing as and where permitted by the 

Fund Manager’s AFSL.

The Mandate specifies the following risk control features:

The Portfolio may comprise securities in up to 80 companies from time to time.

>  no investment may represent more than 10% of the issued securities of a company at the time of investment.

> 

> 

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 Fund Manager will adhere to the parameters on a pre stock basis as set out in the table below unless the prior approval of the 
Board 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 Group’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.

Under the current Mandate, the following parameters will apply to individual investments unless the prior approval of the Directors is 
received to do otherwise:

The Fund Manager’s allocation of the Portfolio will be weighted in accordance with various macro economic factors. These factors will 
invariably impact the medium and long term Performance of the Group. These factors include:

>  global economy;

>  Australian economy and positioning within the economic cycle;

> 

sectors within the Australian market;

>  phase of the interest rate cycle; and

> 

state of the property market (e.g. comparative investment merit).

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 Group 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 Group is exposed to equity securities, convertible notes and derivative securities price risk. This arises from investments held by 
the Group 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 35 summarises the impact of an increase/decrease in the Australian Securities Exchange All Ordinaries Index 
on the Group’s net assets attributable to shareholders at 30 June 2016. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the index 
increased/decreased by 10% (2015: 10%) with all other variables held constant and that the fair value of the Group’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 $25,681,307 
(2015: $37,776,106) that represented the maximum exposure as at reporting date.

(ii)  Foreign exchange risk

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

Financial StatementSKatana capital limited 2016 AnnuAl RepoRt 
 
 
 
16  Financial risk management - COntInUed
(d)  market risk - COntInUed

(iii)  Interest rate risk

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

The table below summarises the Group’s exposure to financial assets/liabilities at the balance sheet date.

The table above summarises the impact of an increase/decrease of interest rates on the Group’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 (2015: +/- 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.

35

(e)  Summarised sensitivity analysis

The following table summarises the sensitivity of the Group’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 Group 
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 Group 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 2016 the Group does not hold any debt securities (30 June 2015: nil).

The Group 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 2016 the Group held no Exchange Traded Options (30 June 2015: nil).

Compliance with the Group’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, which has a credit rating of A-1, which is the significant concentration risk.

(g)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. 

To control liquidity, the Group invests in financial instruments which under normal market conditions are readily convertible to cash. 

The Group held no derivatives (ETO’s), as at 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: $nil).

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

16  Financial risk management - COntInUed
(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 2016.

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 investment 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.

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.

The investment in the controlled entity is for 100% of the issued capital of Kapital Investments (WA) Pty Ltd.

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 2016 (30 June 2015: Nil).

24  Corporate Governance

The Board is committed to achieving the highest standards of corporate governance. The Board reviews and improves its  
policies and procedures to ensure they are effective for the Group and fulfil the expectations of stakeholders.  
The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement has been approved by the Board and can be located on the Company’s website at
