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 longterm 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. YEAR EnDing 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Katana Gross Investment Return All ords Index Outperformance % % % Katana Outperformance vs All Ords Index AvERAgE Percentage of portfolio valuation AS At 30 June 2017 2016 4.85 2017 5.41 8.54 9.20 49.03 -6.41 -23.57 24.54 19.10 -11.19 8.84 26.79 -2.28 6.90 25.36 -15.49 -25.97 9.55 7.75 -11.25 15.47 12.70 1.29 -2.58 2.30 23.67 9.08 2.40 14.99 11.35 0.06 -6.63 14.09 -3.57 7.43 -3.13 Top 10 holdings . % 1 8 3 / C n p % 7 1 . o / 3 T s % 9 Jh % g / 3.0 BTT / 3.09% C g F / 2.8 5 % E / 2 . 7 4 % h s o / 2 . 6 B i n / 2 . 5 0 % AnZ / 2.46% Q 8 B AMA / 2.18% R e M A I n I n G e Q uItIeS CASh & eQuIvAl e n t S Katana Asset Management ltd (‘The Manager’) has completed a report on the performance of Katana Capital limited’s (Katana) portfolio for the 12 months to 30 June 2017 The All Ordinaries Index started FY17 at 5,310.4 points and increased by 8.54% during the course of the year to close at 5,764.0 points on 30 June 2017. The market rallied after D. Trump was elected as president of the uS in november 2016 and peaked at 5,976.4 points in April 2017. This was due to high expectations that Trump’s proposed new infrastructure spending and tax cuts would boost global growth; improve corporate profitability; and further lower the risk of deflation. Although, the global economy continues to improve, Trump’s policies have so far failed to gain support and this combined with low profit growth in Australia, resulted in a decline in the share market in the final two months of the year. Overall, FY17 was another year of low global growth, although there are signs that a broader recovery is underway as many of the major developed economies are expanding. Katana slightly underperformed its benchmark with a positive (gross) return of 5.14%. A summary of the Fund’s returns compared to the All Ords Index over the past 12 years is shown in the table (left). The Manager continued to average between 50-60 individual stock positions and a high level of cash throughout FY17. 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 twelve years together with its average level of outperformance over this period. Katana’s top 10 holdings as at 30 June 2017 are shown in the pie chart (left). The Manager increased the Fund’s holdings in listed fund management companies, which are leveraged to an improving economy. The Manager also added to its holdings in quality small and mid-cap industrials, which it believes have more potential upside than many larger cap stocks. These stocks have strong balance sheets and produce robust cash flows. The Manager’s top 10 also includes three out-of-favour stocks, which it believes were excessively sold down and are expected to recover over the medium term. 03 KATAnA CApiTAl liMiTEd 2017 AnnuAl RePORT The Manager believes that the stock market will continue to move higher in FY18 and provide reasonable total shareholder returns, as corporate profitability continues to increase and interest rates remain supportive. Outlook The Manager believes that global growth should continue to improve in FY18. Growth has now picked up in most of the developed countries including the uS and europe; and China continues to expand, albeit at a slower rate. unemployment continues to decline and corporate profits have started to improve. Growth in consumer spending appears to be rebasing at a lower level, partly due to elevated household debt levels. This means the recovery is likely to occur more slowly, but over a potentially longer timeframe than normal. Although most central banks in developed economies have either begun to tighten policy or have at least commenced to discuss this, inflation remains below most central bank targets and the Manager expects that interest rates will ultimately peak below traditional levels. Australia is in its 25th year of growth without a recession, although this is currently at sub-trend pace. The mining investment boom has largely unwound and housing construction now appears to be peaking. Growth should, however, be maintained as investment is increasing in infrastructure, particularly road and rail in nSW and Victoria. South Australia should also benefit from increased naval defence expenditure. Tourism, education and healthcare continue to grow and the country’s natural resources including liquefied natural gas; iron ore; coal and other minerals; as well as food and services, should underpin export growth. Australia is well positioned to meet increasing demand for many of these products from China and other Asian countries, which contain around 40% of the world’s population. Strategy The Manager believes that the stock market will continue to move higher in FY18 and provide reasonable total shareholder returns, as corporate profitability continues to increase and interest rates remain supportive. The Manager has positioned a part of its portfolio to benefit from the ageing population trend as well as increasing consumption growth in many developing nations as more of their populations enter the middle class. These trends will continue for many years. The Manager has maintained its overweight exposure to listed fund managers, which should continue to perform well as the superannuation pool and annuities continue to expand. It has also increased the Fund’s holdings in quality small and mid-cap companies that are able to grow earnings and dividends despite being in a low growth environment. The portfolio is underweight large cap stocks, which may struggle in an increasingly competitive environment and could potentially lead to further dividend cuts. However, dividends will continue to form a large part of total shareholder returns in this low growth environment. The Manager believes that the share market will continue to experience periods of volatility due to tightening monetary policy in major economies and geopolitical events. This should provide opportunities to add to its holdings in weak periods when it considers the risk/return equation to be favourable. Corporate Katana Capital ltd finished FY17 with 44.3m shares on issue. During the period from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2017, 371,216 shares were bought back on market and were subsequently cancelled. The shares were acquired at an average price of $0.72 with the price ranging from $0.70 to $0.76 per share. The buyback also provided liquidity and increased the underlying net asset backing for all existing shareholders. Katana paid four quarterly dividends, totalling three cents ($0.03) during FY17. Three of the dividends totalling 2.5c were 50% franked and one of 0.5c was fully franked. 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.

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 FY17 at 5,310.4 points and increased by 8.54% during the course of the year to close at 5,764.0 points on 30 June 2017.  The market rallied after Donald Trump was elected as president of the uS in november 2016 and peaked at 5,976.4 points in April 2017. This was due to high expectations that Trump’s proposed new infrastructure spending and tax cuts would boost global growth; improve corporate profitability; and further lower the risk of deflation. Although, the global economy continues to improve, Trump’s policies have so far failed to gain support and this combined with low profit growth in Australia, resulted in a decline in the share market in the final two months of the year. Overall, FY17 was another year of low global growth, although there are signs that a broader recovery is underway as many of the major developed economies are expanding. Katana Capital slightly underperformed its benchmark with a positive (gross) return of 5.14%. The profit after tax for the year was $935,276 (2016: $598,401). 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 FY17, 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 FY17 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 outflows from operations were $2,342,367 (2016: inflows $12,163,093) during the year which reflects the Group’s investment from the Australian equities market. net cash flows for the financial year ending 30 June 2018 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. 07 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt Directors’ report 30 June 2017 Operating and financial review (CoNtiNuED) 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.

Growth has now picked up in most of the developed countries including the uS and europe; and China continues to expand, albeit at a slower rate. unemployment continues to decline and corporate profits have started to improve. Growth in consumer spending appears to be rebasing at a lower level, partly due to elevated household debt levels. This means the recovery is likely to occur more slowly, but over potentially a longer timeframe than normal. Although most central banks in developed economies have either begun to tighten policy or have at least commenced to discuss this, inflation remains below most central bank targets and the Manager expects that interest rates will ultimately peak below traditional levels.

The mining investment boom has largely unwound and housing construction now appears to be peaking. Growth should, however, be maintained as investment is increasing in infrastructure, particularly road and rail in nSW and Victoria. South Australia should also benefit from increased naval defence expenditure.

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 limited. Katana Capital limited, 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 and Romano Sala Tenna. 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. 09 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtDirectors’ report 30 June 2017 Remuneration Report (Audited) (CoNtiNuED) Remuneration structure (CONtINuEd) (i) Non-executive director remuneration (CoNtiNuED) 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 2017 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.

The financial report has also been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report comprises the financial statements of Katana Capital limited and its subsidiaries. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. (b) Statement of compliance The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Changes in accounting policy and disclosures The Group has adopted all the new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB interpretations effective as at 1 July 2016. The nature and impact of each new standard and amendment is described below: rEFErEnCE TiTlE AASB 2015-1 AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual improvements to Australian Accounting Standards 2012-2014 Cycle The amendments clarify certain requirements in: - AASB 5 non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations – Changes in methods of disposal. - AABS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures – servicing contracts; applicability of the amendments to AASB 7 to condensed interim financial statements. - AASB 119 employee Benefits – regional market issue regarding discount rate - AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting – disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’ This Standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify existing presentation and disclosure requirements and to ensure entities are able to use judgement when applying the Standard in determining what information to disclosure, where and in what order information is presented in their 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 adoption of these amendments had no material impact on the Group’s financial statements. 20 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt2 Summary of significant accounting policies (CoNtiNuED) (b) Statement of compliance (CONtINuEd) Accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective.

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for unrealised losses [AASB 112] Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107 This Standard amends AASB 107 Statement of Cash Flows (August 2015) to require entities preparing financial statements in accordance with Tier 1 reporting requirements to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions This Standard amends AASB 2 Share-based Payment, clarifying how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for: > The effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash- settled share-based payments > Share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations > A modification to the terms and conditions of a share based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments clarify certain requirements in: > AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards – deletion of exemptions for first-time adopters and addition of an exemption arising from AASB Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration > AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other entities – clarification of scope > AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value > AASB 140 Investment Property – change in use. This Standard clarifies the scope of AASB 12 Disclosure of interests in other Entities by specifying that the disclosure requirements apply to an entity’s interests in other entities that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with AASB 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued operations. AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement. except for certain trade receivables, an entity initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPl), amortised cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), on the basis of their contractual cash flows and the business model under which the debt instruments are held. There is a fair value option (FVO) that allows financial assets on initial recognition to be designated as FVTPl if that eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. equity instruments are generally measured at FVTPl. However, entities have an irrevocable option on an instrument-by-instrument basis to present changes in the fair value of non-trading instruments in other comprehensive income (OCI) without subsequent reclassification to profit or loss. For financial liabilities designated as FVTPl using the FVO, the amount of change in the fair value of such financial liabilities that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation in OCI of the fair value change in respect of the liability’s credit risk would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

The incurred credit loss model in AASB 139 has been replaced with an expected credit loss model in AASB 9. The requirements for hedge accounting have been amended to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management, establish a more principle-based approach to hedge accounting and address inconsistencies in the hedge accounting model in AASB 139. 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. The Interpretation clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria in IAS 12 income taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically addresses the following: > Whether an entity considers uncertain tax treatments separately > The assumptions an entity makes about the examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities > How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates > How an entity considers changes in facts and circumstances. AppliCATion dATE For ThE group 1 July 2018 1 July 2019 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 assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements. 22 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt2 (c) Summary of significant accounting policies (CoNtiNuED) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2017. 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 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. 23 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtnotes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2017 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (CoNtiNuED) (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. (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 substantively 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. 24 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt2 Summary of significant accounting policies (CoNtiNuED) (h) Trade and other receivables (CONtINuEd) 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. (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. Management fees, including performance fees, are calculated in accordance with the contractual arrangements and are payable in the year in which the returns are generated. (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 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. 25 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtnotes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2017 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (CoNtiNuED) (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 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: (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. 26 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtConsolidATEd YeAR enDeD 30 June 2017 $ (1,359,997) 2,761,143 388 1,401,534 30 June 2016 $ (121,310) 940,110 6,144 824,944 ConsolidATEd YeAR enDeD 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 65,485 26,872 112,569 204,926 (203,098) 90,529 (112,569) 578,471 - (642,512) (64,041) 837,036 (194,524) 642,512 ConsolidATEd YeAR enDeD 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 1,140,202 342,061 17,515 26,872 (5,396) 83,191 (259,317) - 204,926 534,360 160,308 - - (9,020) 102,652 (342,175) 24,194 (64,041) 3 Investment income Realised losses on investments held for trading unrealised gains on investments held for trading Other 4 Income tax expense (a) income tax benefit/(expense) Current tax expense under provision of prior tax expense Deferred tax benefit Deferred income tax benefit included in income tax expense comprises: (Decrease)/Increase in deferred tax assets (note 8) (Increase)/decrease in deferred tax liabilities (note 10) (b) Reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable Profit before income tax expense Tax at the Australian tax rate of 30% (2016 - 30%) Tax effect of amounts which are not deductible/(taxable) in calculating taxable income: non - deductible expense under provision of prior tax expense Franking credits denied Franking credits Franking rebate non Assessable Income Income Tax expense / (Benefit) 27 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtnotes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2017 5 Current assets - Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank 6 Current assets - Trade and other current receivables unsettled trades - listed equities Interest receivable Distribution receivable Dividend receivable There are no receivables past due or impaired.

The shares were acquired at an average price of $0.72 with the price ranging from $0.70 to $0.76 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 nil 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 $38,881,928 at 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: $40,136,795), 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 ltd holds regular Investment Committee meetings to assess the equity portfolio. 30 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt12 Reserves and accumulated losses (a) Reserves Option premium reserve ConsolidATEd AT 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 101,100 101,100 101,100 101,100 The option premium reserve is used to record the value of share based payments provided to employees, including KMP, as part of their remuneration.

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. 33 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtnotes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2017 16 Financial risk management (CoNtiNuED) (a) Mandate (CONtINuEd) 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: siZE oF CoMpAny Minimum investment per security Indicative benchmark Investment per security Maximum investment per security AS A PeRCenTAGe OF TOTAl PORTFOlIO ASX S&P Top 20 ASX S&P Top 100/Cash Hybrids ASX S&P Top 500 Outside of ASX S&P Top 500/Other Instruments 1% 1% no Minimum no Minimum 5% 3% 2% 1% 12.5% 10% 7.5% 5% (c) Asset allocation The Fund Manager’s allocation of the Portfolio will be weighted in accordance with various macroeconomic 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. 34 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt16 Financial risk management (CoNtiNuED) (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 36 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 2017. The analysis is based on the assumptions that the index increased/ decreased by 10% (2016: 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 $26,753,593 (2016: $25,681,307) 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. (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. Weighted Average interest rate (% p.a.)

The analysis is based on the assumption that interest rates changed by +/- 50 basis points (2016: +/- 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 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtnotes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2017 16 Financial risk management (CoNtiNuED) (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. -10% +10% iMpACT on opEr ATing proFiT +10% iMpACT on oThEr CoMprEhEnsivE inCoME -10% priCE risK 30 June 2017 30 June 2016 (2,675,359) (2,568,131) 2,675,359 2,568,131 - - - - -50bps iMpACT on opErATing proFiT inTErEsT rATE risK +50bps +50bps iMpACT on oThEr CoMprEhEnsivE inCoME -50bps 30 June 2017 30 June 2016 (f) Credit risk (41,230) (60,987) 41,230 60,987 - - - - 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 2017 the Group does not hold any debt securities (30 June 2016: 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 2017 the Group held no exchange Traded Options (30 June 2016: 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 2017 (30 June 2016: $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. 36 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt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 reporting date. group - As AT 30 JunE 2017 Assets Financial assets held at fair value through profit and loss - equity securities - listed unit Trust - unlisted equity securities Total Assets liabilities Financial liabilities held at fair value through profit and loss - Options Total liabilities group - As AT 30 JunE 2016 Assets Financial Assets held at fair value through profit and loss - equity securities - listed unit Trust - unlisted unit Trust Total assets liabilities Financial liabilities held at fair value through profit and loss - Options Total liabilities level 1 $ level 2 $ level 3 $ Total $ 24,400,440 1,953,153 - 26,353,593 - - 400,000 400,000 - - - - - - - - - - level 1 $ level 2 $ level 3 $ 23,292,498 1,829,186 - 25,121,684 - - 559,623 559,623 - - - - - - - - - - 24,400,440 1,953,153 400,000 26,753,593 - - Total $ 23,292,498 1,829,186 559,623 25,681,307 - - 37 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtnotes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2017 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 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. The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments for the year ended 30 June 2017: group Opening balance Transfer out to level 1 Closing balance 17 Segment reporting 2017 $ - - - 2016 $ 500,000 (500,000) - 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. 38 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRt18 earnings per share (a) Basic earnings per share: Profit per share attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Company 2.10 1.34 (b) Reconciliation of earnings used in calculating earnings per share ConsolidATEd YeAR enDeD 30 June 2017 Cents 30 June 2016 Cents Basic earnings per share Profit from continuing operations Profit attributable to the ordinary equity holders of the Company used in calculating basic earnings per share (c) Weighted average number of shares used as the denominator Weighted average number of ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating basic earnings per share Adjustments for calculation of diluted earnings per share: Options ConsolidATEd YeAR enDeD 30 June 2017 $ 30 June 2016 $ 935,276 598,401 935,276 598,401 ConsolidATEd YeAR enDeD 30 June 2017 number 30 June 2016 number 44,582,098 44,555,004 - - Weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares used as the denominator in calculating diluted earnings per share 44,582,098 44,555,004 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.

(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 2017 (30 June 2016: nil). 24 Corporate Governance The Board is committed to achieving the highest standards of corporate governance.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a)giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2017 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and b)complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial Independent audit report TO MeMBeRS OF KATAnA CAPITAl lIMITeD 44 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtA member firm of Ernst & Young Global LimitedLiability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 1.Investment existence and valuation Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter As a listed investment company, the Group has a significant investment portfolio consisting primarily of listed equities. As set out in Note 7 to the financial report, the value of these financial assets as at 30 June 2017, was $26.8 million which equates to 69% of the total assets held by the Group. As detailed in the Group’s accounting policies, and as described in Note 2(d) to the financial report, these financial assets are recognised at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard - AASB 139 Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139). Pricing, exchange rates and other market drivers can have a significant impact on the value of these financial assets and the financial report, therefore valuation of the investment portfolio is considered a key area of focus. We agreed the material investment holdings to the confirmation received from the custodians as at 30 June 2017. We assessed the report relating to the existence of the investments as provided by the auditor of the Custodian. Their work was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, specifically ASA 805 Special Considerations- Audits of Single Financial Statements and Specific Elements, Accounts or Items of a Financial Statement with reference to GS007 Audit Implications of the Use of Service Organisations for Investment Management Services. We checked the valuation of material investments in the portfolio as at 30 June 2017. To evaluate their fair value in accordance with AASB 139, we agreed the listed securities to independent pricing sources. We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 7 to the financial report. 2.Management and performance fees Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter Management and performance fees paid to the fund manager, Katana Asset Management Ltd, are significant expenses to the Group. As at 30 June 2017, management and performance fees totalled $0.4 million which equates to 31% of total expenses. The Group’s accounting policy for management and performance fees is described in Note 2(i) to the financial report. All expenses are recognised on an accruals basis, with performance fees recognised in the financial report if the performance hurdles for the Group have been met at the end of the relevant measurement period, which is the date where certainty exists that the criteria have been met and the liability has been crystallised. We performed a recalculation of management and performance fees in accordance with the contractual arrangements including agreeing the contract rate to the calculation. We assessed whether the data included in the calculation was appropriate and complete. We assessed the performance fee eligibility calculations including checks on the inputs into the calculation model and whether the methodology was in line with the underlying contractual arrangements. 45 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtA member firm of Ernst & Young Global LimitedLiability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation 3.Income taxes – recognition and recoverability of the deferred tax asset Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter As at 30 June 2017, the Group had recognised a $1.3 million net deferred tax asset that arose mainly from the net unrealised loss on the fair value of investments held for trading as at 30 June 2017. The analysis of the recognition and recoverability of the deferred tax asset was significant to our audit because the amount is material, the assessment process is judgemental and is based on assumptions that are affected by expected future market or economic conditions. The Group recognises a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial report. The probability of recovery is impacted by uncertainties regarding the likely timing and level of future taxable profits. We involved our EY tax specialists to assess the measurement of the deferred tax balance based on local tax regulations. We performed an analysis of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset based on the estimated future taxable income, on which we performed a sensitivity analysis and evaluated and tested the key assumptions used to determine the amounts recognised. We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 8 to the financial report and assessed whether the disclosure was in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard - AASB 112 Income Taxes. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Independent audit report TO MeMBeRS OF KATAnA CAPITAl lIMITeD 46 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtA member firm of Ernst & Young Global LimitedLiability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: •Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. •Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Group’s internal control. •Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. •Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. •Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. •Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entity or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 9 to 13 47 Katana Capital limited 2017 AnnuAl RepoRtA member firm of Ernst & Young Global LimitedLiability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on the audit of the Remuneration Report Opinion on the Remuneration Report We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 5 to 10 of the directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2017. In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Katana Capital Limited for the year ended 30 June 2017, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
