About MACA

MACA is a well-established mining services group that provides open pit 

contracting services including loading and hauling, drilling and blasting, crushing 

and screening and civil works. A dedicated civil services subsidiary (MACA 60% 

share) was established in 2011 to increase the services offering to include public 

sector works and more detailed civil works.

Incorporated as a private company in November 2002, MACA was admitted to 

the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’) in November 2010 following a highly 

successful initial public offering (‘IPO’). After comfortably exceeding its prospectus 

profit forecast for the financial year ended 2011, MACA has continued to deliver on 

its growth objectives and generate sound financial returns. 

MACA specialises in providing services predominantly to mid-size mining projects 

across a range of commodities, and currently employs a workforce in excess of 850 

employees and sub-contractors.

ChAirMAn’s Address

It gives me great pleasure to present the 

Annual Report for MACA for the year ended 

30 June 2012, the Company’s second such 

report as a publicly listed entity.

I am pleased to advise that MACA has achieved a record 
net profit after tax for the 2012 financial year of $37.7 
million and earnings per share of 25.1 cents (basic). this 
represents a 39.1 % increase in profit on the previous year. 
the Company has declared a final dividend of 4.5 cents per 
share, bringing the total for the year to 8 cents per share 
fully franked.

this financial performance reflects the Company’s 
continuing strong focus on client relationships and service 
quality, its unwavering commitment to health and safety, 
and its “Can Do” culture. this is evidenced in the reliable 
operating performance across the Company’s project 
portfolio, including a number of new projects successfully 
commenced during the year. Significantly, and most 
pleasingly, MACA operated lost time injury free throughout 
the reporting period. 

Stock market conditions have been subdued and at times 
volatile over the past 12 months. the Company’s share price 
has broadly moved in line with the ASX 300 index, although 
its total Shareholder Return (tSR – which captures both 
dividends and share price change) of -5.51% equates to the 
2nd quartile of the tSR achieved by companies within that 
index. MACA was included in the ASX 300 index from 22 
September 2012 – an important milestone which is further 
recognition of the Company’s successful journey since listing 
nearly two years ago. 

Whilst the prices for many commodities other than gold have 
softened in recent times, MACA is well placed to continue 
to support its clients to deliver on their plans. the Company 
is in a strong financial position, with cash on hand of $40 
million and net debt of $15 million, and has an order book 
of $1.32 billion plus the potential for further extension works 
with existing clients.

As recently announced, Mr Doug Grewar will join the 
Company on 1 October 2012 as the newly appointed 
Managing Director, and the Board looks forward to Doug 
joining the MACA team. this follows the resignation of the 
previous CEO and Managing Director Mr Chris tuckwell in 
July 2012. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly 
thank Chris for all his efforts during nearly 5 years with 
MACA and to wish him well in his new role.

I am also delighted to welcome linton Kirk as a newly 
appointed director who will join the board on 1 October 
2012. linton is a mining engineer with over 30 years varied 
experience in mining, earthmoving and management roles. 
He replaces Karen Field who resigned during the year and I 
thank Karen for her contribution during her time on the board. 

I would like to particularly thank the management team led 
by Chris tuckwell up until his departure and by Operations 
Director Geoff Baker since that time, for their untiring effort 
during the year. this has been critical to the continuing 
success that MACA has enjoyed. I would also like to thank 
my fellow directors for their support and contribution.

We look forward to continuing MACA’s successful progress 
in the coming year and beyond.

Andrew edwards

operAtions direCtor’s  
review of operAtions

MACA will have been incorporated for 

10 years on the 20th of November this 

year. I am extremely proud that the 

values instilled by the founders have 

become embedded in the culture of the 

business and paved the way for a most 

successful transition to a respected 

public company. 

In its second year as a listed company, MACA has continued 
to deliver exceptional operational performance which has 
driven record financial outcomes for shareholders.

It is very pleasing that the passion we share for meeting the 
needs of our customers has resulted in a mutually rewarding 
and rapidly growing relationship with our long term clients.

Work-in-hand as at 30 June 2012 was $1.32 billion with 
an average contract term of almost 3 years, positioning the 
company very well for continued growth.

On 26 July 2012, the main operating subsidiary Mining & 
Civil Australia Pty ltd changed its name to MACA Mining Pty 
ltd to better illustrate the segmentation of the mining and 
civil divisions following the formation of MACA Civil Pty ltd.

Group revenue increased due to continued growth in the 
core mining segment together with a maiden full year 
revenue contribution of approximately $41 million from the 
majority owned (MACA 60%) civil business.

Operating cash flow for the 12 months ending 30 June 
2012 was $52.8 million, a commendable result given the 
significant investment in working capital to support the 
strong growth in revenue. 

the after tax profit has increased by 39%, from $27.1 
million in 2011 to $37.7 million for the year ended 30 June 
2012. the increase in profitability is attributable to higher 
revenues at constant margins at group level and was 
underpinned by reliable operational performance across 
the portfolio of projects. EBItDA (Earnings before interest, 
tax, depreciation and amortisation) grew from $65.6 
million in 2011 to $86.3 million for the period ending 30 
June 2012, again demonstrating consistency in margins. 
Over the second half of the recently completed financial 
year, EBItDA was $50 million on revenue of $194 million, 
reflecting a greater contribution from projects commenced 
in the first half.

During the year to 30 June 2012 MACA invested $73 
million in acquiring property, plant and equipment to 
service new contracts and replace certain equipment 
on continuing projects. A considerable portion of this 
investment relates to capital which will not be actively 
deployed until the current financial year, most notably 
the crushing plant which was under construction for the 
Peculiar Knob project in South Australia. Purchases were 
funded by a combination of cash ($32.6 million) and 
commercial hire purchase agreements. 

Despite the significant increase in revenue and assets 
employed, the group remains in a strong financial position 
with a gearing ratio (net debt to net debt plus equity) of 
only 11.3%.

Cash on hand at 30 June 2012 was $39.9 million.

fully franked.

operAtions

MACA Mining pty ltd (includes Crushing)
the core operating division, operated through the wholly 
owned subsidiary MACA Mining Pty ltd (previously known 
as Mining & Civil Australia Pty ltd) was contracted across 
10 projects for 9 clients during the period 1 July 2011 to 
30 June 2012. 

A summary of material projects which were active during all 
or part of the reporting period, by sector, is provided below:

iron ore:
  Mining services and crushing and screening services for:

  Crosslands Resources at Jack Hills – completed in 

January 2012

base Metals:
  Mining services for:

  Western Areas at Spotted Quoll – completed in  

March 2012

  Magellan Metals at Wiluna – suspended

other Mineral:
  Mining services for: 

  Kimberley Diamonds at Ellendale – commenced in 

November 2011

MACA Mining generated revenue of $294.3 million, 
representing 88% of total group revenue. 

Revenue was derived from continuing operations from 
the previous year, two projects which were completed 
early in the 2012 calendar year and three new projects 
commenced in the second half of calendar year 2011. 
Revenue growth was particularly strong in the second 
half of the 2012 financial year as new projects which had 
commenced late in the first half made a full contribution.

It is particularly pleasing that MACA Mining has been able 
to deliver consistent and reliable operational performance 
while achieving such significant growth. this growth has 
been underpinned by both the number of projects and 
contract tenure, providing considerable opportunities for 
organic growth through established relationships.

With crushing projects due to commence at both Peculiar 
Knob and Mt Dove during the first half of the current 
financial year, it is anticipated that Crushing will make a 
greater contribution to earnings into the future.

MACA Civil pty ltd
MACA Civil (MACA 60% ownership) was engaged on 
several projects which, in aggregate, delivered revenue of 
nearly $41 million, representing approximately 12% of total 
group revenue. the primary project undertaken during the 
period was the Main Roads of Western Australia (MRWA) 
Gascoyne Alliance works.

this division was established with the minority owners, 
Andrew Sarich (General Manager) and Darren Erikssen 
(Operations Director) to deliver a more comprehensive civil 
construction service to both existing and new MACA clients 
within the private and public sectors.

MACA is aiming to increase revenue from the civil division 
to between 15% and 20% of total group operating revenue 
over the next 12 to 18 months. upon achievement of this 
growth, we are confident that the civil division will make 
a positive contribution to group profitability, following the 
modest loss recorded for the period ended 30 June 2012. 
Recent contract wins, together with current opportunities, 
have the division well positioned to achieve this objective. 

Both MACA Mining and MACA Civil have been awarded 
works at Atlas Irons’ Mt Dove project, comprising a 
combination of mining, crushing and civil works (Refer ASX 
Release dated 25 June 2012). 

Subsequent to the end of the 2012 financial year, MACA 
Civil Pty ltd has also been awarded a project with 
Main Roads Western Australia (‘MRWA’) with projected 
revenue being approximately $60 million over 12 months 
commencing in October 2012 (Refer ASX Release dated 
24 September 2012).

heAlth, sAfety And environMent
MACA manages risk through proactive processes 
including continual measurement and review aimed at 
preventing the occurrence of incidents. these include 
quarterly audits across all projects and compliance to our 
certified Occupational Health and Safety Management 
Systems (AS/NZS: 4801) and Environmental Management 
Systems (ISO: 14001). 

the continued focus on health and safety through our 
audit and compliance vigilance has seen our lost time 
Injury Frequency Rate (ltIFR) fall to zero as at 30 June 
2012, a most pleasing outcome against the backdrop of 
significant growth in the business and employee numbers, 
as illustrated in the following graph.

operAtions direCtor’s review of operAtions

Despite the ltIFR falling to zero, MACA identified the 
number of medical treated injuries as an area for concern 
and, following a comprehensive review, set about the 
implementation of new and improved safety initiatives 
to address these occurrences. As a result of this review, 
MACA also launched a ‘ZERO HARM’ programme with the 
objective being that all employees would go to work and 
return unharmed.

QuAlity MAnAgeMent
MACA maintained accreditation for its Quality Management 
Systems (ISO: 9001) during the year and continues to 
develop its systems to support growth through continual 
measurement and review.

A significant investment was made in aligning the systems 
of MACA Mining Pty ltd and MACA Civil Pty ltd and this 
resulted in dual accreditation of systems being achieved.

In March of this year MACA Civil Pty ltd was successful in 
having its MRWA (Main Roads Western Australia) National 
Prequalification Rating lifted from R2 to R3 (Road) and its 
Financial level from F2 to F25.

huMAn resourCes
As at 30 June 2012 the Group had a total workforce of 
approximately 870 employees and subcontractors.

the industry was faced with a tightening labour market 
during the reporting period and this highlighted the need to 
focus on strategies that would enable MACA to attract and 
retain key personnel with the skills required to work in a 
safe and productive manner.

MACA has enhanced performance management strategies 
for site employees to ensure greater fairness and equity. 
these include a focus on gender diversity and the 
development of a MACA scholarship programme for mining 
and civil engineers. these strategies are supported by an 
improved capacity to develop the skills and capabilities 
of employees through continual development of internal 
and external training programmes. the success of MACA’s 
apprenticeship programme is evident in the number of 
qualified trade personnel who have successfully completed 
the programme with the support of MACA and we are 
continuing to increase intake levels.

MACA continues to encourage and support indigenous 
employment and is striving to improve the participation rate 
through clear strategies and the revision of its targets.

As the company continues to grow, MACA is conscious 
of the need to ensure that the positive ‘Can Do’ culture 
of the organisation is maintained. An internal programme 
has been planned and partially implemented to ensure the 
core values which have been pivotal to MACA’s success 
are integrated into our culture.

CoMMunity
MACA, with the support of its many loyal employees, 
makes a significant contribution to the community and 
to this end has been a long-time supporter of many 
organisations including the Princess Margaret Hospital 
for Children and the West Australian Institute for Medical 
Research (WAIMR).

MACA is the inaugural ‘Powered By’ sponsor for the 
West Australian leg of ‘the Sunsuper Ride to Conquer 
Cancer’ which supports the WAIMR. With the support of its 
employees and stakeholders, MACA has raised in excess 
of $500,000 through its sponsorship and fundraising 
efforts and looks forward to continuing its support of this 
important cause.

outlook
the recent declines in certain commodity prices, 
particularly Iron Ore, have resulted in a welcome relief to 
capacity constraints across the industry and we anticipate 
our clients will benefit from moderating cost inputs as 
a result of the potential delays in development of large 
scale projects. We are nevertheless conscious of the 
political and global economic uncertainty and the impact 
that lower commodity prices have on our clients and 
prospective customers. 

MACA is well aligned with the organic growth of long 
term quality key customers and is confident of securing 
sufficient new and extension work to deliver on its growth 
strategy. Opportunities with potential new clients are also 
active, largely created by industry relationships resulting 
from proven operational and financial capability. 

Our objective is to support our customers in achieving 
their growth aspirations through delivering a reliable 
and high quality service while working in a safe manner 
and respecting the environment. In achieving this we 
are confident that we will continue to develop positive 
relationships with our clients and deliver positive outcomes 
for all stakeholders. 

With an order book in excess of $1.3 billion as at 30 June 
2012, including contracted revenue of $380 million for the 
current financial year, MACA is moving forward with a level 
of optimism that defies current market sentiment.

Finally, on behalf of the board and all shareholders, I would 
like to extend my gratitude to the many loyal and hard-
working employees of MACA who are an important part of 
our success.

reMunerAtion report

a) details of the key Management personnel (“kMp”)
the KMP of the Group during and since the end of the financial year comprise the company directors (as detailed in the 
beginning of the Director’s Report) and the following senior executive officers. Except as noted, these persons held their 
current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year:

name of kMp

David Edwards

tim Gooch

Mitch Wallace

Andrew Sarich

Darren Erikssen

position

Business Development Manager

Mining Manager

Plant Manager

General Manager – MACA Civil Pty ltd

Operations Director – MACA Civil Pty ltd

b) remuneration policy
the Remuneration Committee reviews the remuneration packages of all KMP on an annual basis and makes 
recommendations to the Board. Remuneration is benchmarked against comparable industry packages and is adjusted to 
recognise the specific performance of both the company and the individual. 

During the financial year, the remuneration committee engaged Gerard Daniels as a remuneration consultant to review the 
amount of senior executive remuneration during the year.

Gerald Daniels was paid $15,000 for the remuneration recommendations relating to the review of the elements of KMP 
remuneration. Gerard Daniels were also engaged to assist in the executive search process which culminated in the recently 
announced appointment of a new Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director. Fees paid pertaining to this engagement 
totalled $149,866.

In order to ensure that Gerald Daniels work is free from undue influence by KMP, the terms of engagement, among other 
matters, required Gerald Daniels to report its recommendations directly to the Chair of the remuneration committee and 
not to any members of KMP. A declaration was received from Gerard Daniels as part of its report that advice provided was 
made free from undue influence of senior executives.

c) non executive directors fees
Non executive directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate directors’ fee pool which is periodically recommended for 
approval to shareholders. the current aggregate directors’ fee pool is $350,000.

Fees paid to non executive directors are set at levels which reflect both the responsibilities of, and time commitments 
required from, each non executive director to discharge their duties. Non executive director fees are reviewed annually by 
the Board to ensure they are appropriate for the duties performed, including Board committee duties, and are in line with 
the market. Other than statutory superannuation, non executive directors are not entitled to retirement benefits.

d) senior executives
the nature and amount of compensation for executive KMP is designed to retain and motivate individuals on a market 
competitive basis.

the compensation structure for executive directors and KMP comprise of three components, the first two – a base salary 
package, (including superannuation and other benefits) and a variable cash bonus for short term incentives (StI). the 
third component is cash or performance rights issue as a long term incentive (ltI), which has been implemented for only 
two executives as outlined below. the compensation structure is made up of a combination of profit performance targets, 
delivered safety targets and equipment specific targets. 

the base salary package takes into account a number of factors including available market information on similar 
positions, length of service and the experience, responsibilities and contribution of the employee concerned.

the StI component for the 2011/12 financial year was up to 25% of the base salary package dependent on the KMP.

CorporAte governAnCe

the Board of Directors of MACA limited (the Company) is responsible for the corporate governance of the consolidated 
entity. the Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom 
they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

the Australian Stock Exchange listing Rule 4.10.3 requires companies to disclose the extent to which they have complied 
with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments released on 30 June 2010 
(‘ASX Principles’). Where recommendations have not been followed, the Company must identify the recommendations 
which have not been followed and give reasons for not following them. the Company’s corporate governance practices 
for the year ended 30 June 2012 are outlined in this Corporate Governance Statement. Where, after due consideration, 
the Company’s corporate governance practices depart from a recommendation, the Board has offered full disclosure and 
reason for the adoption of its own practice, in compliance with the “if not, why not” regime. 

prinCiple 1: lAy solid foundAtions for MAnAgeMent And oversight 
Companies should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management.

recommendation 1.1:
Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose 
those functions. 

the Company has established and disclosed (on its website) its Board Charter in accordance with this recommendation. 
the Board Charter establishes the relationship between the Board and management and describes their respective 
functions and responsibilities. 

Details of the functions and responsibilities of the Board, Chairman and matters delegated to senior executives are set out 
in sections 1 to 6 of the Board Charter. the roles and responsibilities of the Company’s Board and senior executives are 
consistent with those set out in ASX Principle 1.

recommendation 1.2:
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. 

the Board undertakes a review of the Managing Director’s performance, at least annually. targets are approved by the 
Board after they have been established between the Board’s Remuneration Committee and the Managing Director. these 
targets are aligned to overall business goals and the Company’s requirements of the position. 

All executives of MACA limited are subject to a formal review. Key performance targets are the same as for the Managing 
Director (and adjusted for the requirements of these positions). 

the Managing Director, in conjunction with the Remuneration Committee, carries out a full evaluation of each executive’s 
performance against the agreed targets once a year. Performance pay components of executives’ packages are dependent 
on the outcome of the evaluation. 

recommendation 1.3:
Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1. 

the Company has made the relevant material available in its Corporate Governance Statement within its website disclosure, 
in accordance with this recommendation.

prinCiple 2: struCture the boArd to Add vAlue 
Companies should have a board of effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities 
and duties. 

recommendation 2.1:
A majority of the board should be independent directors. 

the Company does not conform to Recommendation 2.1 the board currently comprises two non-executive directors 
including the Chairman, and two executive directors and with effect from 1 October 2012 will comprise three non-
executive directors and three executive directors.

this equal representation of executive and non-executive directors is considered by the Board to be a reasonable balance 
given the Company’s size and circumstances, in particular, in recognition of its recent transition to a publicly listed 
company and the current importance of the existing executive directors to MACA’s continued success. 

the directors in office at the date of this report, the year of each director’s appointment and each director’s status as a 
Non-executive or Executive Director are set out on pages 11 to 12 in the Director’s Report. 

In assessing the independence of each director the Board considers, amongst other things, whether the director: 
is a substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined by the Corporations Act) or an officer of, or otherwise 
•	
associated directly with a substantial shareholder of the Company; 

•	 within the last three years has been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member or 

been a director after ceasing to hold any such employment; 

•	 within the last three years has been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the 

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

Company or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; 
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated 
directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; 
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member other than as a director of the 
Company; 
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member other than as a director of the 
Company; 
has served on the Board for a period which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the 
director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company; and
is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, 
materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company. 

Applying the above criteria, the Board has determined that Mr Andrew Edwards and Mr Joseph Sweet are independent 
directors, and that Mr linton Kirk will also be an independent director on his appointment.

recommendation 2.2:
The chair should be an independent director. 

the Board has determined that the Company’s Chairman, Mr Andrew Edwards is an independent director. 

recommendation 2.3:
The roles of the chair and chief executive officer should not be exercised by the same individual. 

the roles of Chairman of the Board and Managing Director are held by different individuals. 

recommendation 2.4:
The board should establish a nomination committee. 

the Board has not formed a separate Nomination Committee. the Board as a whole fulfils the role of a Nomination 
Committee. to assist the Board to carry out the nomination committee function, it has documented and formalised its 
nomination related responsibilities in its Board Charter. this approach is considered by the Board to be appropriate given 
the Company’s size and current circumstances.

M A C A   l I M I t E D  2 0 1 2  A N N u A l   R E P O R t 23

CorporAte governAnCe

recommendation 2.5:
Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors. 

In accordance with its Charter the Board will undertake an annual evaluation of its effectiveness as a whole and in 
committee against a broad range of good practice criteria. the first such evaluation will be undertaken during the coming 
twelve months and the Board may involve an external facilitator for this purpose. the individual performance of each 
Board member is reviewed by the Chairman prior to each being considered for re-election. the Chairman’s performance is 
evaluated periodically by the Board. 

recommendation 2.6:
Companies should provide the information indicated in the Guide to Reporting on Principle 2. 

the Company has made the relevant material available, being the Board Charter and Nomination Committee Charter 
in the Corporate Governance Statement within its Annual Report and its website disclosure, in accordance with this 
recommendation, including the following policies and procedures.

In determining the independence of each Director, materiality is assessed on a case-by-case basis with consideration 
of the nature, circumstances and activities of the directors having regard to the guidelines the Board uses to assess the 
independence of directors under recommendation 2.1, rather than by applying general materiality thresholds.

It is a policy of the Board that each has the right to seek independent professional advice at the company’s expense, 
subject to prior approval of the Chairman which will not be unreasonably withheld.

the Board’s policy and procedure for the selection, nomination and appointment of new directors and the re-election of 
incumbent directors is as follows: 

•	

•	

the Board will oversee the appointment and induction process for directors and the selection, appointment and 
succession planning process of the Company’s Managing Director. When a vacancy exists or there is a need for 
particular skills, the Board determines the selection criteria based on the skills deemed necessary;
the Board may identify potential candidates with advice from an external consultant. those nominated will be 
assessed by the Board against background, experience, professional skills, personal qualities, whether the nominee’s 
skills and experience will augment the existing Board, and their availability to commit themselves to the Board’s 
activities. the Board then appoints the most suitable candidate. Board candidates must stand for election at the next 
general meeting of shareholders; and

•	 When directors are due for re-election, the Board will not endorse the reappointment of a director who is not 

satisfactorily performing the role.

prinCiple 3: proMote ethiCAl And responsible deCision-MAking 
Companies should actively promote ethical and responsible decision-making. 

recommendation 3.1:
Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the practices 
necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity; the practices necessary to take into account their legal 
obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders; and the responsibility and accountability of individuals 
for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices. 

the Company has established and disclosed (on its website) its Code of Conduct in accordance with this recommendation. It 
is a policy of the Board that the Code of Conduct applies to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.

the Code of Conduct is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure it reflects the high ethical standards of 
conduct necessary to maintain confidence in the Company’s integrity. 

recommendation 3.2:
Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy 
should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to 
assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them. 

the Company has established a Diversity Procedure and a Human Resources and Cultural Diversity Policy, both of which 
are available on the Company’s website.

recommendation 3.2 (Continued): 
the Company will continue to integrate their diversity policy within the recruitment and appointment processes in a 
manner that promotes gender diversity, including establishing a structured approach for identifying a pool of candidates for 
all Board and Senior Executive positions, using external experts where necessary. 

the Company is currently reviewing their succession plans, promotions and turnover to ensure an appropriate focus 
on diversity. the Company has identified specific factors to take account of in recruitment and selection processes 
to encourage diversity. the Company has also developed programs to raise awareness of the advantages of diversity 
and develop a broader pool of skilled and experienced senior management and board candidates, including, diversity 
education, workplace development programs mentoring programs and targeted training and development.

the company has Identified and removed barriers to diversity that existed within the Company to create an inclusive 
and supportive organisation which enables employees to develop to their full potential. the Company has focused on 
developing a culture which recognises that employees at all levels of the Company may have domestic responsibilities and 
family commitments and will implement any other strategies the Board and management may develop from time to time.

recommendation 3.3:
Companies should disclose in each annual report the measureable objectives for achieving gender diversity, set by the 
board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them. 

the Company is in the process of developing objectives (including measurable objectives) aimed at enhancing diversity 
in a broader context and, more specifically, gender diversity. the Board views this as a process of continual improvement 
however the following measurable objectives have been implemented initially and will be expanded on over time.

initiatives aimed at increasing this percentage on a continual basis, particularly at the Senior and 
Executive Management levels. Women with high potential are identified and provided with career 
development opportunities. the Board composition included one female director during the 
reporting period and prior to her resignation on 30 April 2012.

equal employment which is supported by the executive management team. Remuneration levels 
are determined based on position and competency, not gender. Review processes are supported 
by diversity surveys.

be done with the implementation of the diversity policy and the regular reporting to the Board on progress in achieving 
these objectives.

notes to the  
finAnCiAl stAteMents

for the yeAr ended 30 June 2012

these consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of MACA limited and Controlled Entities (the 
“consolidated group” or “group”). 

the separate financial statements of the parent entity, MACA limited, have not been presented within this financial report 
as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. the financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 September 2012 by 
the directors of the company. 

note 1. suMMAry of signifiCAnt ACCounting poliCies

basis of preparation 
the financial statements are general purpose financial statements that has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authorative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out in accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial 
statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with 
Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial 
Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial 
statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

these financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where 
applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. 

a. principles of Consolidation
the consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by MACA limited 
at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which MACA limited has the ability to govern the 
financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities is 
included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 15 to the 
financial statements. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the 
consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown 
separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive 
income. the non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business 
combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.

Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. 

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities 
or businesses under common control. the acquisition method requires that for each business combination one of the 
combining entities must be identified as the acquirer (i.e. parent entity). the business combination will be accounted for 
as at the acquisition date, which is the date that control over the acquiree is obtained by the parent entity. At this date, 
the parent shall recognise, in the consolidated accounts, and subject to certain limited exceptions, the fair value of the 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In addition, contingent liabilities of the acquiree will be recognised 
where a present obligation has been incurred and its fair value can be reliably measured.

the acquisition may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. the method adopted for the 
measurement of goodwill will impact on the measurement of any non-controlling interest to be recognised in the acquiree 
where less than 100% ownership interest is held in the acquiree.

the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair 
value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements. 
Consideration may comprise the sum of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to the 
former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.

finAnCiAl stAteMents

for the yeAr ended 30 June 2012

note 1. suMMAry of signifiCAnt ACCounting poliCies (Continued)
Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the statement of comprehensive income. Where 
changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such 
amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

Included in the measurement of consideration transferred is any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration 
arrangement. Any obligation incurred relating to contingent consideration is classified as either a financial liability or 
equity instrument, depending upon the nature of the arrangement. Rights to refunds of consideration previously paid 
are recognised as a receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not 
remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset 
or a liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value through the statement of comprehensive income unless the 
change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive income.

b. investments in Associates
Associate companies are companies in which the Group has significant influence through holding, directly or indirectly, 
20% or more of the voting power of the company. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements 
by applying the equity method of accounting whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter 
for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate company. In addition the Group’s share 
of the profit or loss of the associate company is included in the Group’s profit or loss.

the carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill relating to the associate. Any excess of the Group’s share of 
the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment 
is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the 
investor’s share of the associate’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the 
relation to the Group’s investment in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues 
recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf 
of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume the recognition of its share of 
those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

Details of the Group’s investments in associates are shown at Note 14.

c. income tax
the income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable 
income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are 
therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year 
as well unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss 
when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have 
been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial 
recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable 
profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. 
their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the 
related asset or liability.

finAnCiAl stAteMents

for the yeAr ended 30 June 2012

note 1. suMMAry of signifiCAnt ACCounting poliCies (Continued)

c. income tax (Continued)
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income 
taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended 
that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future 
periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

d. inventories
Inventories and Work in Progress are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. the cost of manufactured 
products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are 
applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. 

e. property, plant and equipment 
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property
Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged 
between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations 
by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation surplus in equity. 
Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in equity, all 
other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between depreciation 
based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income and depreciation 
based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and 
the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated 
recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and the 
impairment losses are recognised either in the profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate 
to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer 
to Note 1(h) for details of impairment). 

the carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the 
recoverable amount from these assets. the recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows 
that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. the expected net cash flows have been 
discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

the cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when 
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be 
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the 
financial period in which they are incurred.

note 1. suMMAry of signifiCAnt ACCounting poliCies (Continued)

Depreciation
the depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, 
is depreciated on a diminishing value and/or straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of 
either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

the depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of fixed Asset

leasehold improvements

Plant and equipment

low value pool

Motor vehicles

depreciation rate

2.5%

2.5% - 50%

18.75% - 37.5%

18.75% - 50%

the asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater 
than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. these gains and 
losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the 
revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

f. leases
leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the 
legal ownership that is transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases. 

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of 
the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. lease 
payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. 

lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as 
expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. 

lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of 
the lease term. 

g. financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the 
instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or 
sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified 
‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement
Finance instruments are subsequently measured at either of fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method, or cost. 

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied 
to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar 
instruments and option pricing models.

finAnCiAl stAteMents

for the yeAr ended 30 June 2012

note 1. suMMAry of signifiCAnt ACCounting poliCies (Continued)

g. financial instruments (Continued)
Amortised cost is calculated as: 
a. 

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;

b. 

less principal repayments;

c.  plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the 

maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and

d. 

less any reduction for impairment.

the effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is 
equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs 
and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual 
term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected 
future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or 
expense in profit or loss.

the Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the 
requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. 

i. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as 
such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is 
managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management 
or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being 
included in profit or loss. 

ii. 

Loans and receivables

loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in 
an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 
12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as non-current assets.)

iii.  Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable 
payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. they are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost.

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 
12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets.)

If during the period the Group sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity 
investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified as 
available-for-sale.

iv.  Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into 
other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. they comprise 
investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current assets.)

v.  Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

g. financial instruments (Continued)

Impairment 
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument 
has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the 
instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or 
loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to 
profit or loss at this point. 

De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to 
another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with 
the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. the 
difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of 
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

h. impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. the 
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from 
subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, 
an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the 
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value 
over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in 
accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a 
revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard. 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

i. functional and presentation currency
the functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which that entity operates. the consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which 
is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.

j. employee benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the 
end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the 
liability, consideration is given to employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting 
requirements. those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to 
maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

Equity-settled compensation
the Group operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. the fair value of the equity 
to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with 
a corresponding increase to an equity account. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of 
goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the good or 
services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. the corresponding 
amount is shown in the option reserve. 

the fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. the fair value of options is ascertained using a Black–
Scholes pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. the number of shares and options expected to 
vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as 
consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

k. provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. 

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the 
reporting period. 

l. Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-
term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

m. revenue and other income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade 
discounts and volume rebates allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted 
at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. the difference between the amount 
initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks 
and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets, is the rate 
inherent in the instrument.

All dividends received shall be recognised as revenue when the right to receive the dividend has been established.

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the 
transaction at the end of the reporting period and where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of 
completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services 
to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related 
expenditure is recoverable.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GSt).

n. trade and other payables
trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services 
received by the Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. the balance is recognised as a current liability 
with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

o. borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a 
substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as 
the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

p. goods and services tax (gst)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GSt, except where the amount of GSt incurred is 
not recoverable from the Australian taxation Office. In these circumstances the GSt is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position 
are shown inclusive of GSt. 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cashflows on a gross basis, except for the GSt component of investing and 
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

q. Comparative figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation 
for the current financial year. 

When the Group applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its 
financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

r. Critical Accounting estimates and Judgments
the directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge 
and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on 
current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates
i. 

Impairment

the Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to 
the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using 
value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. 

ii.  Taxation

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation are based on the best 
estimates of directors. these estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the Group 
as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. No adjustment has 
been made for pending or future taxation legislation. the current income tax position represents that directors’ best 
estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian taxation Office.

iii.  Estimation of Useful Lives of Assets

the estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment has been based on historical experience and 
reviewed on an ongoing basis. the condition of the assets are assessed at least annually against the remaining useful 
life with adjustments made when considered necessary.

Key judgments
i. 

Environmental Issues

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted 
environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s development 
and its current environmental impact the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

s. rounding of Amounts
the group has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in the financial 
statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000. Comparative information has been adjusted 
to reflect this change.

On 2 September 2010, MACA limited acquired 100% of the issued capital of MACA Plant Pty ltd (and its subsidiary 
MACA Mining Pty ltd, formerly Mining and Civil Australia Pty ltd) for a purchase consideration of $92,523,641. the 
purchase was satisfied with the issue of 92,523,641 ordinary shares in MACA limited at $1 per share. 

Net assets of MACA Plant Pty ltd at acquisition date were $34,323,775. under the principles of AASB 3 Business 
Combinations, MACA Plant Pty ltd is the accounting acquirer in the business combination. therefore the transaction has 
been accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Fair value of the consideration transferred has been determined by reference 
to the fair value of issued shares in MACA Plant Pty ltd immediately prior to the business combination. 

the purchase acquisition was part of a group restructure to facilitate listing on the Australian Securities Exchange to enable 
further expansion.

a. Credit risk 
the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties 
other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 11. the class of assets described as 
“trade and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

the following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit 
enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the 
debt has not been settled, with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to 
the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are 
provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.

when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show 
of hands.

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a 
prudent debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate 
returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue 
as a going concern.

the Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial 
liabilities, supported by financial assets.

there are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the 
Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to 
changes in these risks and in the market. these responses include the 
management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

identification of reportable segment
the Group identifies its operating segments based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors 
(chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.

the Group operates predominantly in two business and one geographical segment being the provision of civil and contract 
mining services to the mining industry throughout Australia. A new segment was identified for the Group for this reporting 
period. this is as a result of the Group’s diversification into civil contracting. Accordingly, the identified segment has been 
included in these financial statements. 

basis of Accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

Accounting Policies Adopted
unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief operating decision maker, is in 
accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the financial statements of the Company.

Inter-segment transactions
Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received net of transaction costs. 
If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on 
market interest rates. this policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of 
economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their 
nature and physical location. 

unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and intangible 
assets have not been allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities
liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of 
the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. 
Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

financial risk Management policies
the Board of Directors (“the Board”) is responsible for, amongst other issues, monitoring and managing financial risk 
exposures of the Group. the Board monitors the Group’s financial risk management policies and exposures and approves 
financial transactions within the scope of its authority. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to 
commodity price risk, counterparty credit risk, currency risk, financing risk and interest rate risk.

the Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated group in meeting its financial targets, while 
minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Its functions include the review of the use of hedging 
derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

specific financial risk exposures and Management
the main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk 

M A C A   l I M I t E D  2 0 1 2  A N N u A l   R E P O R t 61

notes to the  
finAnCiAl stAteMents

for the yeAr ended 30 June 2012

consisting of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and commodity and equity price risk.

note 28. finAnCiAl risk MAnAgeMent (Continued)
a.  Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of 
contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for 
the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring 
of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers 
and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for 
impairment. Depending on the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 14 to 30 days from the invoice date.

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or in 
entities that the Committee has otherwise cleared as being financially sound. Where the Group is unable to ascertain 
a satisfactory credit risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, the risk may be further managed through 
insurance, title retention clauses over goods or obtaining security by way of personal or commercial guarantees over 
assets of sufficient value which can be claimed against in the event of any default.

Credit Risk Exposures
the maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at balance date, excluding the value of 
any collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net 
of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. Credit risk also arises through the provision of 
financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries (refer 
Note 11 for details).

the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. 
Details with respect to credit risk of trade and Other Receivables are provided in Note 11(a).

trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of acceptable quality. 
Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 11(a). 

Credit risk related to balances held with banks and other financial institutions are only invested with counterparties 
with a Standard & Poors rating of at least AA-.

b. 

liquidity risk
liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. the Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

•	 preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities;
•	 monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
•	 obtaining funding from a variety of sources;
•	 maintaining a reputable credit profile;
•	 managing credit risk related to financial assets;
•	 only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions; and
•	 comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets.

the Group’s policy is to ensure that all hire purchase agreements entered into, are over a period that will ensure that 
adequate cash flows will be available to meet repayments.

the tables below reflect an undiscounted (except for finance lease liabilities) contractual maturity analysis for financial 
liabilities. Financial guarantee liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group has no control over the 
timing of any potential settlement of the liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing 
may therefore differ from that disclosed. the timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities 
reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates and does not reflect management’s expectations that banking 
facilities will be rolled forward.

net fair values

fair value estimation
the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a 
liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. the fair values of financial assets 
and financial liabilities approximate the carrying values in the financial statements.

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgment, where changes in assumptions 
may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair value is 
extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair 
values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes 
are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by 
market participants.

financial instruments Measured at fair value 
the financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified 
using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. the fair value 
hierarchy consists of the following levels:

•	
•	

•	

quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1); 
inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as 
prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and
inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) level 3.

Included within level 1 for the current and previous reporting periods are listed investments. the fair value of these assets 
have been based on the closing quoted bid prices at the end of the reporting period, excluding transaction costs. the 
Group does not have other material instruments within the fair value hierarchy.

note 32. new ACCounting stAndArds for AppliCAtion in future periods
the AASB has issued a number of new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory 
application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the Group. the Group has decided not to early 
adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. the Group’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements 
that are relevant to the Group but applicable in future reporting periods is set out below:

- 

AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) [AASB 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 101, 102, 108, 112, 118, 120, 121, 127, 128, 
131, 132, 136, 137, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 5, 10, 12, 19 & 127] (applicable for annual reporting 
periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

these Standards are applicable retrospectively and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of 
financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.

note 32. new ACCounting stAndArds for AppliCAtion  
in future periods (Continued)

the key changes made to accounting requirements include:
- 

simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and those carried at fair value;

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives;

removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets;

removing the requirements to separate and fair value embedded derivatives for financial assets carried at amortised 
cost;

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

requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially 
classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the 
characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and

requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in 
its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income, except when that would 
create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all 
changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

the Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these pronouncements on its financial statements.

- 

AASB 2010–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying Assets 
[AASB 112] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012).

this Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income taxes and incorporates Interpretation 121: Income taxes – 
Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into AASB 112.

under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an 
entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. the amendments introduce a presumption that an investment 
property is recovered entirely through sale. this presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a 
business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment 
property over time, rather than through sale.

the amendments are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in 
Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements (August 2011), AASB 128: Investments in Associates and 
Joint Ventures (August 2011) and AASB 2011–7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the 
Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 101, 107, 112, 118, 121, 124, 
132, 133, 136, 138, 139, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 5, 9, 16 & 17] (applicable for annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (March 2008, as amended) 
and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and 
additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. the Group has not yet been able to 
reasonably estimate the impact of this Standard on its financial statements.

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements 
to be classified as either “joint operations” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the 
assets and obligations for the liabilities) or “joint ventures” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement 
have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting 
(proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed).

AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary, joint venture, 
joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a “structured entity”, replacing the “special 
purpose entity” concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any 
investments in unconsolidated structured entities. this Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to 
significantly impact the Group.

AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011–8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from 
AASB 13 [AASB 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 2009–11, 2010–7, 101, 102, 108, 110, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 128, 131, 
132, 133, 134, 136, 138, 139, 140, 141, 1004, 1023 & 1038 and Interpretations 2, 4, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 131 & 
132] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures 
about fair value measurement. 

AASB 13 requires: 

- 

- 

inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and 

enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial 
liabilities) to be measured at fair value. 

these Standards are not expected to significantly impact the Group.

- 

AASB 2011–9: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive 
Income [AASB 1, 5, 7, 101, 112, 120, 121, 132, 133, 134, 1039 & 1049] (applicable for annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 July 2012).

the main change arising from this Standard is the requirement for entities to group items presented in other 
comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently. 

this Standard affects presentation only and is therefore not expected to significantly impact the Group.

- 

AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011–10: Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) [AASB 1, AASB 8, AASB 101, AASB 124, AASB 134, 
AASB 1049 & AASB 2011–8 and Interpretation 14] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 
January 2013).

these Standards introduce a number of changes to accounting and presentation of defined benefit plans. the Group does 
not have any defined benefit plans and so is not impacted by the amendment.

AASB 119 (September 2011) also includes changes to the accounting for termination benefits that require an entity to 
recognise an obligation for such benefits at the earlier of:

(i) 

for an offer that may be withdrawn – when the employee accepts;

(ii) 

for an offer that cannot be withdrawn – when the offer is communicated to affected employees; and

(iii)  where the termination is associated with a restructuring of activities under AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent 

liabilities and Contingent Assets, and if earlier than the first two conditions – when the related restructuring costs 
are recognised.

the Group has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these changes to AASB 119.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MACA LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  MACA  Limited  which  comprises  the  consolidated 
statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2012,  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income, 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other  explanatory  information  and  the 
directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s 
end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  for  such  internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from 
material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with 
Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

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

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

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

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We 
confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has  been  given  to  the 
directors of MACA Limited, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the date of this auditor’s 
report.
