In line with the Board’s growth strategy, Korvest has been actively
engaged in reviewing potential acquisition opportunities during
the year. Approximately $0.2m of costs associated with these
activities are included in the year’s net profit after tax.
A Number of Board meetings attended
B Total Number of Board meetings available for attendance
Financial Results
The revenue from trading activities for the year under review was
$63.0m, down 14.5% on the previous year. Profit after tax was
$1.5m compared to $5.6m in the previous year. The overall
results for the year were impacted by the impairment of $1.7m of
goodwill relating to the Power Step and Titan Technologies
businesses. These businesses principally service the mining
industry and with the significant slow-down in demand in that
sector the results of the businesses have been disappointing. As
a result of the uncertainty surrounding the timing of future projects
and recovery of activity in the mining sector and on the basis of an
impairment assessment performed during the first half the Board
took the decision to impair the goodwill. The exit of the Indax
business was completed during the year with all remaining
equipment and inventory sold. The review of operations set out
below contains more detailed commentary in relation to
business performance during the year.
15
DIVIDENDS
The directors announced a fully franked dividend of 12.0 cents
per share compared to 31.0 cents per share last year and 17.0
cents at the half year. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will
operate for the final dividend with the issue price calculated at a
5% discount to the volume weighted average market price for the
period from 19 to 25 August 2015 inclusive. The dividend will be
paid on 4 September 2015 with a record date of 21 August 2015.

STRATEGY AND FUTURE PERFORMANCE
Korvest’s businesses service a number of major markets including
infrastructure, commercial, utilities, mining, food processing, oil &
gas, power stations, health and industrial. Korvest continued to
supply a small number of large projects during the year. Recent
years have been characterised by the lack of medium to large
projects and the FY15 year saw no change in this situation.
Day-to-day business is yet to show signs of improving on the
subdued levels that have been experienced over recent years.
Foreshadowing the slowdown in the Australian economy an export
strategy was developed and is now being implemented. The target
countries are Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the
Philippines. Korvest has yet to benefit from this investment but
there has been interest in the target markets.
Korvest’s strategy has been to focus on businesses where it holds
a strong market position. This strategy resulted in the closure
of the Indax business over the past year. The remaining Korvest
businesses continue to hold strong market positions and are
therefore well equipped to take advantage of opportunities as they
arise.
Korvest continues to have a strong balance sheet providing the
capacity for further growth by acquisition. Korvest would consider
taking on a prudent level of debt to fund suitable acquisitions. In
which case, as a guide, Korvest would look to maintain a gearing
ratio, measured as net debt/(net debt plus equity), at below 30%.
Korvest has a long history of paying franked dividends. Since July
2012 the Korvest dividend policy has been to distribute 100% of
after tax profits which is slightly above the upper end of the target
dividend payout ratio range of 65-90% of after tax profits. The
final dividend declared remains at the upper end of the target
range. The Board has reactivated the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
for the final dividend. This has been done to ensure that Korvest
continues to distribute its available franking credits to shareholders
whilst also preserving cash to the extent of the DRP participation
to be utilised in the growth opportunities that Korvest is
actively pursuing.
In April 2014 Korvest announced the exit of the Indax grating and
handrail business previously included in the Industrial Products
group. During the 2015 year the focus has been on selling the
business assets. This process was completed during the year
with all of the inventory being sold and all of the plant and
equipment sold or redeployed.
Power Step designs and assembles access systems for large
mobile equipment. Titan Technologies supplies specialised tools
in the form of torque wrenches, hydraulic pumps and related
accessories. Both businesses rely principally on the mining
industry and as a consequence the performance of both
businesses during the year was disappointing. The cost structure
of both the Power Step and Titan Technologies businesses were
reviewed during the year and a number of savings initiatives were
implemented.
Production
In the Production group the Galvanising business experienced
substantially reduced demand during the year. This resulted in
plant volumes in both the main bath and the spin plant being less
than has been experienced in recent years. External plant
volumes suffered the larger decline although the internal volumes
also fell as the activity in the Industrial Products segment eased.
Risk
The Board and Management periodically review and update risk
reviews that identify and assess the risks faced by the business
and the controls that are in place to mitigate those risks. General
Managers report to the board monthly on any changes to the risk
profile of their business unit. There have been few changes to the
risk environment faced by Korvest over the past year.
Operational risks relate principally to continuity of supply and
continuity of production. To ensure continuity of supply Korvest
monitors the performance of key suppliers and establishes more
than one supply source for key products. For many bought in
finished goods the ability for the product to also be manufactured
in-house mitigates the risk.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The principal continuing activities of the Group consist of hot dip
galvanising, sheet metal fabrication, manufacture of cable and pipe
support systems and fittings, design and assembly of access
systems for large mobile equipment and sale, repair and rental
of high torque tools.
Korvest had another good year in terms of plant reliability and low
down time. The responsibility for this falls to the Korvest in-house
engineering and maintenance department. Preventative
maintenance programmes are in place for key processes and
items of plant and the low plant down time over recent years is an
indicator of the success of those programmes.
The Group is comprised of the Industrial Products Group which
includes the EzyStrut, Power Step and Titan Technologies and the
Production Group which includes the Korvest Galvanisers
business.
Financial risks faced by the business are typical of those faced
by most businesses and centre around management of working
capital. In particular trade receivables and inventory levels are
constantly reviewed and performance is monitored with key
performance indicators on an ongoing basis.
Industrial Products
In the Industrial Products group the EzyStrut cable and pipe sup-
port business supplies products to contractors for small industrial
developments and also supplies products for major infrastructure
developments. EzyStrut performed credibly in a difficult market.
The business continued to supply two major oil and gas projects
during the year and these underpinned the EzyStrut performance.
Outside of the very small number of large projects the remaining
market conditions remained difficult and competitive.
During the year Korvest went live with a new Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) system. There was significant management input
on the project in the period leading up to implementation and
also post implementation to ensure that the risks associated with
projects of this type were mitigated.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
In the opinion of the directors there were no significant changes in
the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial
year under review.
REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
Principles of compensation
Remuneration is referred to as compensation throughout
this report.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
At the date of this report there is no matter or circumstance that
has arisen since 30 June 2015, that has significantly affected, or
may significantly affect:
(i) the operations of the Group;
(ii) the results of those operations; or
(iii) the state of affairs of the Group;
in the financial years subsequent to 30 June 2015.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
Korvest continues to look for growth by export and acquisition.
The types of businesses that are of interest include those that
provide vertical integration with existing Group businesses, those
that expand the product or service offering to the Group’s existing
customer base or those that may be able to benefit from utilising
the Group’s existing national distribution network. The
appointment of a Manager - Acquisitions and Growth in June
2014 has seen an increased focus on this area and a number of
acquisition opportunities have been evaluated over the past year.
The broad focus for the existing businesses continues to be on
innovation both in relation to new product development and
process improvement. With subdued market conditions the focus
on customer service remains critical and projects that assist with
manufacturing efficiency and improve lead times to improve
customer service are a priority. Korvest continues to invest in
resources to pursue opportunities in markets in the Asia Pacific
region that Korvest has not previously serviced.
Further information about likely developments in the operations of
the Group and the expected results of those operations in future
financial years has not been included in this report because
disclosure of the information would be likely to result in
unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE
Since the end of the previous financial year the Company has paid
insurance premiums in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability
and legal expenses insurance contracts, for current and former
directors and officers of the Company and related entities. The
insurance premiums relate to:
a) costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers
in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal
and whatever their outcome; and
b) other liabilities that may arise from their position,
with the exception of conduct involving a wilful
breach of duty or improper use of information or
position to gain a personal advantage.
The premiums were paid in respect of all of the directors and
officers of the Company. The directors have not included details of
the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium
paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability and legal
expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited
under the terms of the contract.
Key Management Personnel (KMP) have authority and
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the
activities of the Group, including directors of the Company and
other executives. KMP comprise the directors and senior
executives of the Group.
Compensation levels for KMP are competitively set to attract
and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and
executives.
The compensation structures explained below are designed to
attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of
strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation
of value for shareholders. The compensation structures take
into account:
(a) the capability and experience of the KMP
(b) the KMP’s ability to control performance; and
(c) the Group’s performance including the
Group’s earnings.
Fixed compensation
Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is
calculated on a total cost basis), as well as employer contributions
to superannuation funds.
Compensation levels are reviewed annually by the remuneration
committee.
Non-executive directors receive a fixed fee. The total remuneration
for all non-executive directors was last voted upon by
shareholders at the AGM held on 25 October 2013 and is not to
exceed $450,000.
Performance linked compensation
Performance linked compensation includes both short-term and
long-term incentives, and is designed to reward KMP for meeting
or exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The
short-term incentive (STI) is an ‘at risk’ cash bonus, while the
long-term incentive (LTI) is provided as performance rights under
the rules of the Korvest Performance Rights Plan.
Short-term incentive bonus
The key performance indicators (KPIs) for the KMP are set
annually. The KPIs include measures relating to financial and
operating performance, safety, strategy and risk measures.
The KPIs are chosen to directly align the individual’s reward to
the KPIs of the Group and to its strategy and performance. The
non-financial objectives vary with position and responsibility and
include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes, safety
and environmental performance. The financial objectives relate
to earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for various parts of the
business depending on the KMP.
The structure of the STIs was changed in the current year to
encompass a wider range of KPIs and with a capped level. Previ-
ously STIs were principally based on EBIT and were uncapped.

Long-term incentive bonus
Performance rights are issued under the Korvest Performance
Rights Plan to employees (including KMP) as determined by the
remuneration committee. Performance rights become vested
performance rights if the Group achieves its performance hurdle.
If rights become vested performance rights and do not lapse, the
holder is able to acquire ordinary shares in the Company for no
cash payment.
The performance hurdle relates to growth in basic earnings per
share (EPS). EPS performance is measured in total over a three
year period. The performance hurdle is tested once at the com-
pletion of the three year vesting period. The % growth is based on
a base year which is the year prior to the commencement of the
vesting period. For the most recent issue of Performance Rights
the table below sets out the % of rights that vest depending on the
level of EPS growth achieved.

The EPS objective was chosen because it is a good indicator of
the Group’s earnings growth and is aligned to shareholder wealth
objectives.
100%
The Company’s securities trading policy prohibits those that are
granted share-based payments as part of their remuneration from
entering into other arrangements that limit their exposure to losses
that would result from share price decreases. Entering into such
arrangements has been prohibited by law since 1 July 2011.
Service contracts
It is the Group’s policy that service contracts for all KMP are
unlimited in term but capable of termination by providing 1 to 6
months’ notice depending on the KMP, and that the Group retains
the right to terminate the contract immediately by making payment
in lieu of notice. The Group has entered into a service contract
with each executive KMP.
On termination of employment the KMP are also entitled to receive
their statutory entitlements and accrued annual leave and long
service leave, as well as any entitlement to incentive payments and
superannuation benefits.
Services from remuneration consultants
The remuneration committee engaged the services of AON Hewitt
and Lillas Harrison as remuneration consultants to the board to
provide benchmarking data for the amount and components of the
KMP remuneration. AON Hewitt were engaged to provide
benchmarking advice on the executives’ remuneration in
comparison with organisations of similar size and complexity to
Korvest. Lillas Harrison were engaged to specifically provide
benchmarking from a South Australian perspective.
AON Hewitt was paid $20,670 for their benchmarking advice.
Lillas Harrison was paid $790 for their benchmarking advice.
AON Hewitt conducted interviews with each of the KMP to
understand the roles and responsibilities of each. Lillas Harrison
had no contact with any members of the KMP in preparing their
report. Both consultants were engaged by and reported directly to
the Chairman of the remuneration committee. With the exception
of the interviews conducted by AON Hewitt, there were no other
interactions between the consultants and KMP.
The scope of the AON Hewitt engagement was to provide data
and market commentary only. No recommendations were made
in relation to remuneration of KMP. Similarly, Lillas Harrison was
also engaged to provide South Australian market benchmarks and
made no recommendations in relation to remuneration of KMP.
The Board was aware of the process undertaken by AON Hewitt
and Lillas Harrison and the interactions with key management
personnel and is satisfied that their reports were made free from
undue influence by members of the key management personnel.
The remuneration committee consists entirely of non-executive
directors and is responsible for setting the remuneration levels
for KMP.
The Board is satisfied that the remuneration committee is able to
make a decision on remuneration levels without undue influence
by the members of the KMP about whom the recommendations
may relate.
Non-executive directors
Non-executive directors receive a fixed fee. The total remuneration
for all non-executive directors was last voted upon by sharehold-
ers at the AGM held on 25 October 2013 and is not to exceed
$450,000.
The current base fees became effective on 1 July 2014 and are:
Chairman $123,600
Director $61,800
The Chairman of a Board Committee receives a further
$10,300 p.a. Superannuation is added to these fees where
appropriate. Non-executive directors do not receive
performance-related compensation.
Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth
In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for
shareholder wealth, the remuneration committee have regard to
the indices set out in the 5 Year Summary on page 31.

Analysis of options and rights over equity instruments granted as
compensation
Details of vesting profiles of the options granted as remuneration
to each director and key executive of the Company are detailed
below:
All performance rights have a nil exercise price.
All performance rights expire on the earlier of their expiry date
or termination of the individual’s employment. The performance
rights are exercisable for one year after the conclusion of the
vesting period. In addition to the continuing employment service
condition, the ability to exercise performance rights is condition-
al on the Group achieving performance hurdles. Details of the
performance criterion are included in the long-term incentives
discussion on page 18.
No equity-settled share-based payment transaction terms
(including performance rights granted as compensation to KMP)
have been altered or modified by the Group during the reporting
period or the prior period.

* - These options were issued under the previous Korvest Ltd
Executive Share Plan. They vested during the year ended 30 June
2011 and were exercised in January 2011. Restricted ordinary
shares were issued at an exercise price of $3.79 per share. Under
the terms of the previous Korvest Ltd Executive Share Plan upon
exercise of the options the individual must pay the exercise price
over a maximum term of 20 years. Dividends, after deduction of
an amount intended for the participant’s tax, are applied in
payment of the exercise price. The arrangement to pay the
exercise price over 20 years is interest free and without personal
recourse to the participants (recourse is limited to the shares
themselves). As a result of these arrangements, under AASBs, the
instruments are treated as options until such time as the
associated non-recourse loan is fully repaid. The shares remain
restricted from transfer until the completion of a 5 year service
period from grant date and until such time as the loan is fully paid.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. REPORTING ENTITY
Korvest Ltd (the ‘Company’) is a company domiciled in Australia.
The address of the Company’s registered office is 580 Prospect
Road, Kilburn SA 5084. The consolidated financial statements
of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2015
comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to
as the ‘Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’). The Group is a
for-profit entity and is primarily involved in manufacturing
businesses as detailed in the Segment Reporting (Note 5).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose finan-
cial statements which have been prepared in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the
Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the
Board of Directors on 30th July 2015.
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
the historical cost basis except for land and buildings, which are
measured at fair value.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in
Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100
dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order,
all financial information presented in Australian dollars has been
rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongo-
ing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the
period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods
affected.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that
have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within
the next financial year are included in the following notes:
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except as described below, the accounting policies set out below
have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements, and have been applied
consistently by the Group entities.
(a) Basis of consolidation
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition
method as at the acquisition date – i.e. when control is transferred
to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its
activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration
potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.
The Group measures goodwill at acquisition date as:
• The fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
• The recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in
the acquiree; plus
• If the business combination is achieved in stages , the fair
value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less
• The net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related
to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are
generally recognised in profit or loss.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of
debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with
a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value
at the acquisition date. If contingent consideration is classified as
equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within
equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the
contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group
controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its investment with the entity and has the ability affect
those returns through its power over the entity. The financial state-
ments of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial
statements from the date that control commences until the date
that control ceases.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income
and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated
in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
• Note 3(c) and 15 – Trade and other receivables
• Note 3(g) and 16 – Inventories
• Note 3(j) and 22 – Provisions
• Note 3(q) and 6 – Assets held for sale
• Note 4 – Determination of fair values
(b) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective
functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the
dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are
retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that
date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the
difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the
beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments
during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency trans-
lated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value
in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at
the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based
on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are generally
recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables on the date
that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets
designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised
initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or if it transfers the
rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in
which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred
financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is
recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount
presented in the statement of financial position when, and only
when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and
intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the
following categories: financial assets at fair value through the profit
or loss, held to maturity financial assets, loans and receivables and
available-for-sale financial assets.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determi-
nable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such
assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attrib-
utable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans
and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less any impairment losses (see Note 3 (h)).
Cash and cash equivalents / Bank overdrafts
Cash and cash equivalents and Bank overdrafts comprise cash
balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less
from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk
of changes in their fair value and are used by the Company in the
management of its short-term commitments.
Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Group initially recognises financial liabilities initially on the trade
date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual
obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities into the other
financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are
recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method.
Other financial liabilities comprise loans and other borrowings,
bank overdrafts, and trade and other payables.
Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an
integral part of the Group’s cash management and included as
a component of cash and cash equivalents for the statement of
cash flows.
Share capital
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are
recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accu-
mulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Property is measured at fair value.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets
includes the following:
• The cost of materials and direct labour,
• Any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a
working condition for their intended use,
• When the Group has an obligation to remove the assets
or restore the site, as estimate of the costs of dismantling
and removing the items and restoring the site on which
they are located, and
• Capitalised borrowing costs.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the relat-
ed equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

(d) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have dif-
ferent useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major
components) of property, plant and equipment.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are appor-
tioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the out-
standing liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period
during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and
equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds
from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in
profit or loss.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable
that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure
will flow to the Group. On-going repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred.
Depreciation
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the
date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect
of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is
completed and ready for use.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the carrying value of
property, plant and equipment less the estimated residual values
using the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is generally recognised in profit or loss, unless the
amount is included in the carrying amount of another asset.
Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term
and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group
will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not
depreciated.
Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease
At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether
such an arrangement is or contains a lease. This will be the case if
the two following criteria are met:
• the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use
of a specific asset or assets; and
• the arrangement contains a right to use the asset(s).
At inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group
separates payments and other consideration required by such an
arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements
on the basis of the relative fair values. If the Group concludes
for a finance lease that it is impractical to separate the payments
reliably, then an asset and liability are recognised at an amount
equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the
liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance
cost on the liability is recognised using the Group’s incremental
borrowing rate.
(f) Intangible assets and goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is
presented with intangible assets. For the measurement of
goodwill at initial recognition, see Note 3(a).
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of
significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Subsequent measurement
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
• Buildings
• Plant and equipment 3-12 years
40 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(e) Leases
Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. On
initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal
to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum
lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is
accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable
to that asset.
Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not
recognised on the Group’s statement of financial position.
Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit
or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease
incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total
lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are required by the Group and have
finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortisa-
tion and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the
future economic benefits embodied in the specific assets to which
it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally
generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss
as incurred.
Amortisation
Except for goodwill, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-
line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the
date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years
are as follows:
• Patents and trademarks
5 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realis-
able value. The cost of inventories is based on average cost
and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories,
production and conversion costs, and other costs incurred in
bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case
of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes
an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal
operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(h) Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss
is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there
is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is
impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the
asset, and that the loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated
future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes
default or delinquency by a debtor or indications that a debtor will
enter administration. In addition, for an investment in an equity
security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its
cost is objective evidence of impairment.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other
than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each
reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually
for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its
recoverable amount.
Any impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For
other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that
the asset’s carrying amounts does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation or
amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(i) Employee benefits
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are expensed as the
related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount
expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or
constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past
service provided by the employee and the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
Share-based payment transactions
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted
to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a
corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the
employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The
amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the
number of awards for which the related service and non-market
performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the
amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the
number of awards that do not meet the related service and
non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For
share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the
grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured
to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences
between expected and actual outcomes.
Employee Share Bonus Plan
The Employee Share Bonus Plan allows Group employees to
acquire shares of the Company. Shares are allotted to employees
who have served a qualifying period. Up to $1,000 per year in
shares is allotted to each qualifying employee. The fair value of
shares issued is recognised as an employee expense with a corre-
sponding increase in equity. The fair value of the shares granted is
measured using a present value method.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its
value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks
specific to the asset or CGU. For impairment testing assets are
grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate
cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of
the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating
segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated
are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is
performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored
for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business
combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment
losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce
the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group
of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other
assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
Executive Share Plan
The Executive Share Plan and the Performance Rights Plan allow
Group employees to acquire shares of the Company. The fair
value of options or rights granted is recognised as an employee
expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is
measured at grant date and spread over the period during which
the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options/
right. The valuation method takes into account the exercise price
of the option/right, the life of the option/right, the current price of
the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the share price, the
dividends expected of the shares and the risk-free interest rate for
the life of the option/right.
Defined contribution superannuation funds
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan
under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate en-
tity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further
amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution
superannuation funds are recognised as an employee benefit ex-
pense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services
are rendered by employees.

(i) Employee benefits (continued)
Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that
a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
Other long-term benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits
is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in
return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obli-
gation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and
salary rates, including related on-costs and expected settlement
dates, and is discounted using the rates attached to high quality
corporate bonds at the reporting date which have maturity dates
approximating to the terms of the Company’s obligations.
(j) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group
has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimat-
ed reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined
by discounting risk adjusted future expected cash flows at a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.
Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying
products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical
warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against
their associated probabilities.
(k) Revenue
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business
is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates.
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of
the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible
return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing
management involvement with the goods, and the amount of the
revenue can be measured reliably. Transfer of risks and rewards
vary according to the terms of individual sale contracts. Transfer
usually occurs when the product is received by the customer or
upon completion when the customer requests delayed delivery.
(l) Finance income and finance costs
Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested.
Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective
interest rate method.
Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings.
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in
profit or loss using the effective interest method.
(m) Tax
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and
deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent
that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised
directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the
taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to
tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also
includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
•
•
•
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or
liabilities in a transaction that is not a business
combination and that affects neither accounting nor
taxable profit or loss
temporary differences related to investments in
subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to
the extent that the group is able to control the timing of
the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable
that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial
recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to
be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally
enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and
they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same
taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle
current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax cred-
its and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Tax consolidation
The Company and the wholly owned Australian subsidiaries set
out in Note 27 are part of a tax-consolidated group with Korvest
Ltd as the head entity. The implementation date of the tax
consolidation system for the tax-consolidated group was
1 March 2013.
Current tax expense (income), deferred tax liabilities and deferred
tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of
the tax-consolidated group are allocated to the Company and
recognised using a ‘group allocation’ approach. Deferred tax
assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured by reference to the
carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities in the Company’s
balance sheet and their tax values applying under
tax consolidation.
Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising
from unused tax losses of a member of the tax consolidation
group are assumed by the head entity of the tax-consolidated
group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to
other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any
tax funding arrangement amounts. Any difference between these
amounts is recognised by the member of the tax consolidated
group as an equity contribution from or distribution to
the head entity.
(n) Goods and services tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount
of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of
acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST
included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,
the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement
of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of cash flows on a gross
basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing
and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to,
the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
(o) Earnings per share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the
profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit
or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of
all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise share options
granted to employees.
(p) Segment reporting
Segment results that are reported to the Group’s Managing
Director (the chief operating decision maker) include items directly
attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on
a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate
assets, head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.
(q) Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and
liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that
they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than
continuing use.
Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the
lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any
impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill,
and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis,
except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial asset and
deferred tax assets, which continue to be measured in accordance
with the Group’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses
on initial classification as held-for-sale and subsequent gains and
losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property,
plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.
(r) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1
July 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these
consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant
to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt
these standards early, and continues to assess the impact
on the entity.

4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures
require measurement of fair values, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group adopted IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, with date
of initial application of 1 July 2013. IFRS 13 establishes a single
framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about
fair value measurements when such measurements are required
or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies the definition of fair value
as the price that would be received to sell or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. It replaces and expands the disclosure
requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs. As a
result, the Group has applied additional disclosures in this regard
(see Notes 6 and 17).
In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the
Group has applied the new fair value measurement guidance pro-
spectively and has not provided any comparative information for
the new disclosures. Notwithstanding the above, the change had
no significant impact on the measurements of the Group’s assets
and liabilities.

4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES (Continued)
The Group has an established control framework with respect to
the measurement of fair values. The Finance Director has overall
responsibility for all significant fair value measurements, including
Level 3 fair values.
(b) Inventories
The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination
is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs of completion and
sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to
complete and sell the inventories.
(c) Trade and other receivables
The fair values of trade and other receivables are estimated as the
present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate
of interest at the measurement date. Short-term receivables with
no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount
if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Fair value is determined
at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual
reporting date.
(d) Contingent consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration arising in a business
combination is calculated using the income approach based on
the expected payment amounts and their associated probabilities
(i.e. probability-weighted). Since the contingent consideration is
long-term in nature, it is discounted to present value.
(e) Share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the performance rights is measured using the
Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price
on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument,
expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility of
the Company’s share prices, adjusted for changes expected due
to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of
the instruments, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate
(based on government bonds). Service and non-market
performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken
into account in determining fair value.
(f) Other non-derivative financial liabilities
Other non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value,
at initial recognition and for disclosure purposes, at each annual
reporting date. Fair value is calculated based on the present value
of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the
market rate of interest at the measurement date. For finance
leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to
similar lease agreements.
The Finance Director regularly reviews significant unobservable
inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information is used
to measure fair values, the Finance Director assesses the evidence
obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such
valuations meet the requirements of AASB, including the level in
the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should
be classified.
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Audit Committee.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group
uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are
categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on
inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
• Level 3: inputs for asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or liability might be
categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the
fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same
level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value
hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the
change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair
values is included in relevant notes.
(a) Property, plant and equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a
result of a business combination is the estimated amount for which
a property could be exchanged on the date of acquisition between
a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction
after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted
knowledgeably. The fair value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures
and fittings is based on the market approach and cost approaches
using quoted market prices for similar items when available and
depreciated replacement cost when appropriate. Depreciated
replacement cost reflects adjustments for physical deterioration as
well as functional and economic obsolescence. Land and
buildings are valued by an independent valuer every three years.
In the intervening years between independent valuations the
directors make an assessment of the value of the land and
buildings having regard for the most recent independent valuation.
5. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group has two reportable segments. The business is
organised based on products and services. The following
summary describes the operations in each of the Company’s
reportable segments.
Industrial Products
Includes the manufacture of electrical and cable support systems,
steel fabrication and access systems. It also includes the sale,
hire and repair of high torque tools. It includes the businesses
trading under the EzyStrut, Power Step and Titan Technologies
names and formerly the Indax name.
Production
Represents the Korvest Galvanising business, which provides hot
dip galvanising services. The reportable segment also includes
light to medium fabrication of components and machine guarding.
Both reportable segments consist of the aggregation of a number
of operating segments in accordance with AASB 8 Operating
Segments.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment
is included below in the manner reported to the chief operating
decision maker as defined in AASB 8. Performance is
measured based on segment earnings before interest and tax
(EBIT). Inter-segment transactions are not recorded as revenue.
Instead a cost allocation relating to the transactions is made based
on negotiated rates.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)
Geographical segments
The Group operates predominately in Australia.
Customers
Revenue from one customer of the Group’s Industrial Products
segment represented $13,029,000 (2014: $8,154,000) of the
Group’s total revenues.
6. DISPOSAL GROUP HELD FOR SALE
In April 2014 Korvest advised that the Indax business would be
exited and accordingly the assets associated with that business
were presented as a disposal group held for sale.
During 2015 all inventory has been sold and all plant and
equipment has been either sold or redeployed within the remaining
Korvest business.
(a) Impairment loss relating to the disposal group
As at 30 June 2014 impairment losses of $678,000 for write-
downs of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying amount
and its fair value less costs to sell were included in administration
expenses. In current year the impairment losses were applied
to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment
($263,000) and inventory ($415,000) within the disposal group.
The impairment losses were reversed to offset cost of property,
plant and equipment and inventory sold and shown as a reduction
in administrative expenses (see note 8).
(b) Assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale
At 30 June 2014, the disposal group was stated at fair value less
costs to sell and comprised the following assets and liabilities:

Fair value hierarchy
At least every three years the directors obtain an independent
valuation to support the fair value of Land and Buildings. This
valuation is used by the directors as a guide in determining the
directors’ valuation for the Land and Buildings. An independent
valuation of Land and Buildings was carried out in March 2014 by
Mr Mark Klenke, AAPI MRICS FFIN of AON Valuation Services on
the basis of the open market value of the properties concerned in
their highest and best use and was used as a reference for direc-
tor’s valuation as at 30 June 2015.
The carrying amount of the Land and Buildings at cost at 30 June
2015 if not revalued would be $1,217,209.
Level 3 fair values

approach: the valuation
model applies a yield to
the property’s value to
assess its value less
any required capital
expenditure. The yield
applied to the potential
rental return from the
property is based on
recent sales and has been
calculated by dividing the
estimated rental return
from comparable sales to
derive a fair market sales
price. Capitalised value
has been increased by
value of a vacant land as
the property has below
average site coverage
indicating further capacity
for development.

Executive Share Plan (ESP) - discontinued
In March 2005, the Group established a share option plan that
entitled selected senior executives to acquire shares in the entity
subject to the successful achievement of performance targets
related to improvements in total shareholder returns over a
two-year option period. The plan was discontinued in 2010 with
no new issues made under the plan since that time. The plan
remains in operation for those employees granted options under
that plan prior to 2010.
The options were exercisable if the total shareholder return
(measured as share price growth plus dividends paid) over a
two-year period from the grant date exceeded ten per cent plus
CPI per annum. Once exercised the shares are forfeited if the
holder ceases to be an employee of the Group within a further
three-year period. The shares issued pursuant to these options

Korvest Performance Rights Plan (KPRP)
In August 2011 the Company established a performance rights
plan to replace the ESP. In November 2011 the first performance
rights were granted under the plan and further issues have been
granted annually since. The plan is designed to provide long term
incentives to eligible senior employees of the Group and entitles
them to acquire shares in the Company, subject to the successful
achievement of performance hurdles related to earnings per share
(EPS).
Under the plan, eligible employees are offered Performance Rights,
which enables the employee to acquire one fully paid ordinary
share in the Company for no monetary consideration, once the
Performance Rights vest. The conditions attached to the
Performance Rights are measured over the three year period
commencing at the beginning of the financial year in which the
Performance Rights are granted. If the performance conditions at
the end of the three year period are met, in whole or in part, all or
the relevant percentage of the Performance Rights will vest.

Measurement of fair values
The fair value of the rights granted through the KPRP was mea-
sured based on the Black-Scholes formula. Expected volatility
is estimated by considering historic share price volatility over the
twelve months prior to grant date.

Site restoration and safety
A provision of $360,000 was initially made during the financial year
ended 30 June 2003 in respect of the Company’s obligation to
rectify potential environmental damage at the main site premises in
Kilburn. The provision is reassessed annually and is now based on
an estimate of the current day cost to rectify the site. It has been
assumed that the rectification would occur in 10 years. Provisions
are determined by discounting risk adjusted future expected cash
flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of
money. A discount rate of 6.5% and an inflation rate of 3.0% have
been used for the calculation.

In the previous year the Company issued new shares under the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan applying to the Special Dividend.
Eligible shareholders (those with registered address in Australia
or New Zealand) had an opportunity to reinvest all or part of their
Special Dividend entitlement in the Company’s shares instead of
receiving cash. The new shares were issued at a 5% discount with
a cap price of $5.50 per share.
Effective 1 July 1998, the Company Law Review Act abolished the
concept of par value shares and the concept of authorised capital.
Accordingly, the Company does not have authorised capital or par
value in respect of its issued shares.
The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as
declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share
at meetings of the Company. All shares rank equally with regard
to the Company’s residual assets.
Asset revaluation reserve
The revaluation reserve relates to land and buildings measured at
fair value in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
Profits reserve
The profits reserve represents current year and accumulated
profits transferred to a reserve to preserve the characteristic as a
profit and not appropriate against prior year accumulated losses.
Such profits are available to enable payment of franked dividends
in the future.
Equity compensation reserve
The Equity compensation reserve represents the accumulated
expense recognised for share-based payments granted by the
Company to date. This reserve will be reversed against share
capital or retained earnings when the underlying shares vest in the
employee. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the
purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own
equity instruments.

In thousands of AUD
30% franking credits available to shareholders of Korvest Ltd for
subsequent financial years
The above available amounts are based on the balance of the
dividend franking account at year-end adjusted for:
(a) franking credits that will arise from the payment of
the current tax liabilities;
(b) franking debits that will arise from the payment of
dividends recognised as a liability at the year-end;
(c) franking credits that will arise from the receipt of
dividends recognised as receivables by the tax
consolidated group at the year-end; and
(d) franking credits that the entity may be prevented
from distributing in subsequent years.
The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon being
able to declare dividends. The impact on the dividend franking
account of dividends proposed after the reporting date but not
recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $541,662 (2014: reduce
by $1,388,685).

24. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial risk management
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of
financial instruments:
• Credit risk;
• Liquidity risk; and
• Market risk.
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the
establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse
the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and
controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The Audit
Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with
the risk management policies and procedures and reviews the
adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the
risks faced by the Group.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables
from customers.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum
credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the
reporting date is summarised below:

Trade and other receivables

13,592
17,706
Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the
individual characteristics of each customer. However, manage-
ment also considers the demographics of the Group’s customer
base, including the default risk of the industry and country in
which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence
on credit risk, particularly in the current deteriorating economic
circumstances.
There is an established credit policy under which each new
customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the
Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are
offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings and in some
trade references when applicable and available. Purchase limits
are established for each customer, which represent the maximum
open amount without requiring further approval. These limits
are subject to on-going review. Customers that fail to meet the
Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group
only on a prepayment basis.
Goods are sold subject to retention of title clauses, so that in the
event of non-payment the Group may have a secured claim. The
Group otherwise does not require collateral in respect of trade and
other receivables.
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that
represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and
other receivables and investments. The main components of this
allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually
significant exposures, and a collective loss component established
for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been
incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is
determined based on historical data of payment statistics for
similar financial assets.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receiva-
bles at the end of the reporting period by geographic region was
as follows.

The impairment loss at 30 June 2015 relates to a number of
customers where an assessment has been made that the
amounts are likely to be uncollectable.
The Group sells to a variety of customers including wholesalers
and end users and does not have a concentration of credit risk in
any one sector.
Impairment losses (Continued)
Based on the Group’s monitoring of customer credit risk, the
Group believes that, except as indicated above, no impairment
allowance is necessary in respect of trade receivables
not past due.
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far
as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions,
without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the
Group’s reputation.
(Bank overdraft) / cash and cash equivalents
The Group had a bank overdraft of $500,000 (2014: cash and
cash equivalents of $497,000) at 30 June 2015, which represents
its maximum credit exposure on these assets. The bank overdraft
/ cash and cash equivalents is held with major Australian banks.
The Group monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade
and other receivables together with expected cash outflows on
trade and other payables.
In addition, the Group maintains the following lines of credit:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in
meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that
are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
• $0.75m overdraft facility that is unsecured.
The following are the remaining contractual maturities at the end
of the reporting period of financial liabilities, including estimated
interest payments. The amounts disclosed are the contractual
undiscounted cash flows (inflows shown as positive,
outflows as negative).

Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as
foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect
the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instru-
ments. The objective of market risk management is to manage
and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,
while optimising the return.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases
that are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar
(AUD). The currency in which these transactions primarily are
denominated is US dollars (USD).
Exposure to currency risk
The Group did not have any material exposure to foreign currency
risk and as a result movements in the Australian dollar against
other currencies will not have a material impact on the Group’s
profit or equity.
Interest rate risk
The Group is not currently exposed in any material way to interest
rate risk. The risk is limited to the re-pricing of short term deposits
utilised for surplus funds. Such deposits generally
re-price approximately every 30 days.
Exposure to interest rate risk
Movements in interest rates will not have a material impact on the
Group’s profit or equity.
Other market price risk
The Group has no material financial instrument exposure to other
market price risk as it is not exposed to either commodity price
risk or equity securities price risk. The Group does not enter into
commodity contracts other than to meet the Group’s expected
usage requirements.
Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital (net debt and
equity) are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern,
so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and
benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital
structure to reduce the cost of capital.
During the year the Group was not subject to externally imposed
capital requirements.
There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital
management during the year.
