 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   ABOUT MACA

MACA IS A SUCCESSFUL MINING SERVICES 
AND CIVIL CONSTRUCTION GROUP PROVIDING 
OPEN PIT CONTRACTING SERVICES TO THE 
MINING INDUSTRY INCLUDING LOADING AND 
HAULING, DRILLING AND BLASTING, CRUSHING 
AND SCREENING AND CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE 
SERVICES TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INDUSTRY. 

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’). In every year following the listing, MACA has 
delivered on its earnings forecasts and maintains continuing 
positive forward projections based on its solid financial and 
operational capacity. 

MACA’s mining business specialises in providing mining and 
crushing services predominantly to mid-size mining projects 
across a range of commodities. Through its dedicated civil 
construction business, MACA provides a broad range of civil 
infrastructure services to government and private organisations. 
The Group currently employs a workforce in excess of 1300 
employees and sub-contractors.

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT 
THE ANNUAL REPORT FOR MACA FOR THE YEAR 
ENDED 30 JUNE 2014.

I am pleased to advise that in 2014 MACA has continued its 
history of delivering strong operating and financial outcomes. 
Net profit after tax was a record $55.4 million, up 12% on the 
previous year, a very pleasing performance given the subdued 
economic conditions within the mining services sector and 
the adverse impact of the disruption which occurred at the 
Duketon operations in the second half of the year. 

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 
(EBITDA) grew by nearly 19% to $138 million, testament to 
MACA’s ability to work proactively and efficiently with its clients 
across the Company’s portfolio of projects. Your Company’s 
strong balance sheet enabled MACA to provide working capital 
support to its client following the Duketon disruption and this 
led to a reduction in operating cash flow for the year. However, 
operating cash flow is expected to return to normal operating 
patterns in the current year.

In the light of this strong financial performance, MACA has 
declared a final dividend of 7.5 cents per share, bringing the 
total ‘operating dividends’ for the year to 14 cents per share 
fully franked, a 40% increase on the previous year. In addition, 
a special dividend of 30 cents per share fully franked was paid 
in March of this year and a further special dividend of 25 cents 
per share was declared subsequent to year end which will be 
paid on 1 October. These special dividends flowed from the 
Board’s desire to release to shareholders the value of stored 
franking credits held within the Company.

Two separate capital raisings have occurred to replenish the 
funds utilised for the special dividends. In consequence, the 
Company has retained significant cash resources so as to be 
well placed to both pursue future growth opportunities and 
continue to support its clients’ operations where required. At 
30 June cash on hand was $104.5 million and net cash (net of 
debt) was $6.7million. The capital raisings also added liquidity 
to trading in your Company’s shares.

The Board and management have maintained their focus on 
the safety of the Company’s workforce. Very pleasingly, there 
were no Lost Time Injuries recorded during the reporting 
period, which remains well below industry benchmarks. We will 
continue to relentlessly pursue the objective of zero harm for 
all of the Company’s employees and contractors.

The Company also continues to actively engage with the 
community and is a proud supporter of the Sunsuper Ride to 
Conquer Cancer, the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation 
and West Australian Symphony Orchestra. 

MACA’s performance over the past year is in no small way 
attributable to the work ethic of our people and I would like to 
express my appreciation to the management and staff for their 
hard work over the past year. Since year end, Chris Tuckwell 
has rejoined the Company as Managing Director and we are 
pleased to welcome him back.

I would also like to thank my fellow directors for their support 
and contribution. In July, the Board farewelled Joe Sweet who 
played a key role in helping MACA through its successful 
transition from private to public ownership, and we wish Joe all 
the very best in his retirement. The other board change is that 
Ross Williams, one of MACA’s founders, has moved from an 
executive to non executive director role.

The Board and management remain positive about the future 
outlook for your Company. At 30 June, MACA’s order book 
stood at $1.3 billion. In July the Company announced it had 
been awarded a contract with Karara Mining Limited with 
respect to the Hinge DSO Project which is expected to be 
worth $90 million over 17 months, and further prospective 
opportunities are being actively pursued across both the 
Mining and Civil businesses.

The Board will continue to seek to maximise returns to 
shareholders concurrent with the objective of the Company 
continuing its profitable growth path.

Chairman

MANAGING  
DIRECTOR’S  
REVIEW OF  
OPERATIONS

ON THIS, THE 11th YEAR OF OPERATION OF 
MACA AND OUR FOURTH SINCE LISTING IN 
2010, I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT MY REVIEW 
OF THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE TO 
SHAREHOLDERS OF MACA LIMITED.

MACA continues to perform well across its broad spectrum 
of projects in both the mining and civil sectors. During the 
period MACA continued operations at Mt Dove and Abydos 
for Atlas Iron, Blue Hills for Sinosteel Midwest Corporation, 
and at Paroo Station for Rosslyn Hill Mining. In addition, 
MACA continued mining at Rosemont, Garden Well and 
Moolart Well for Regis Resources, Peculiar Knob for Arrium, 
and Ellendale for Kimberlery Diamonds. Operations at 
Pardoo (Atlas) and Plutonic (Barrick) were closed with MACA 
successfully deploying personnel and equipment to other 
MACA projects.

4

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014The Company paid a special 
dividend of 30 cents per share on 
the 31st March 2014 taking the full 
year dividend to 44 cents

The company declared a second special 
dividend post year end of 25 cents per 
share to be paid on 1st October 2014, 
taking total fully franked dividends this 
calendar year to 69 cents.

Positive outlook for 
financial year ended 30 
June 2015 and beyond 
given contracted work 
in hand position

MACA’s historical financial performance was maintained  
for the majority of the financial year, driven by high levels 
of utilisation and a disciplined approach to operational 
management. A major disruption occurred at the Duketon 
Operations during the second half of the financial year, 
resulting in a material impact on earnings (refer ASX release 
20 February 2014) for that period. The potential impact of this 
event was significantly reduced due to proactive management 
and innovative utilisation of MACA’s strong financial position 
to support its clients. This was reflected in the lower cash flow 
from operations, which was impacted while MACA provided 
assistance to clients with extended terms.

The results have been achieved through a number of 
success factors including:

• 

• 

A strong focus on the management and execution of 
our operations
Commitment to our clients and the relationships in 
our business

• 

• 

• 

• 

A high priority towards training and development of  
our people
The delivery of services and outcomes through 
the talent of our workforce who demonstrate the 
Company’s commitment to working safely every day
The management of our assets which we recognise as 
an integral component of business success
A demonstrated commitment to our “Can Do” culture 
and our promise; we care; we deliver and we are flexible.

In April MACA relocated its 3 Perth based operational 
support units to the one purpose built facility in Welshpool. 
The move to the new office, warehousing and workshop 
complex is already assisting the Group to be more aligned 
and efficient in reducing overheads in an increasingly cost 
conscious environment.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Revenue

EBITDA

EBIT

Net Profit Before Tax

Contracted Work in Hand

Operating Cash Flow

Earnings per share – basic

Dividends per share (fully franked)

Group revenue increased due to continued growth in 
the core mining segment and a revenue contribution of 
approximately $77 million from the civil business.

The after tax profit has increased by 12.0%, from $49.5 
million in 2013 to $55.4 million for the year ended 30 
June 2014. The NPAT margin was adversely impacted by 
a weather event in February but will not impact FY2015 
financial performance. This is reflected in a modest decline 
in Earnings per Share from 31.5 cents in 2013 to 30.3 in 
2014. EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation 
and amortisation) grew from $116.3 million in FY2013 to 
$138.0 million for the period ending 30 June 2014, again 
demonstrating consistency in returns of the group.

DIVIDEND
On the 19th August 2014, the board of MACA Limited 
declared a final dividend for the financial year ending 2014 
of 7.5 cents per share, and with a special dividend of 30.0 
cents per share declared in February 2014, this brings the 
full year dividends to 44.0 cents per share fully franked.

The board declared a further fully franked special dividend 
post year end in August 2014 of 25.0 cents per share.

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

OPERATING CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL 
EXPENDITURE
Operating cash flow for the 12 months ending 30 June 2014 
was $46.8 million. The reduction from the previous year was 
due to agreed cash management issues in the second half 
where the Company agreed to a delayed payment structure 
with various clients.

Capital expenditure for the financial year was $51 
million. Capital was prioritised for the purchase of new 
and replacement equipment which was funded through 
a combination of cash and commercial hire purchase 
agreements.

Assets were purchased to replace specific plant and 
equipment which had previously been hired and also plant 
that has been sold off, to meet increased activity levels and 
for new contract works awarded during the period.

BALANCE SHEET AND GEARING
Despite the significant increase in revenue and assets 
employed, the group as at 30 June 2014 remains in a strong 
financial position with a net cash position of $6.7 million 
and with cash on hand of $104.5 million. During the period 
MACA successfully raised $58.95 million (before costs) in a 
capital raising on the back of declaring the special dividend. 
This raising had minimal effect on the net cash position and 
balance sheet strength of the Group as it essentially involved 
an exchange of retained earnings for share capital (equity).

ORDER BOOK
As at 30 June 2014 the Company had work-in-hand of $1,307 
million with an average mining contract term of 33 months 
over 10 major projects.

OPERATIONS
Mining and Crushing
The division’s revenue of $518 million represented 87% of 
the total group revenue and was derived from continuing 
operations, the completion of two projects and the 
commencement of one new project during the period.

Revenue for the year continued to grow in line with 
increases in project scope and the commencement of  
new projects.

Crushing activity saw the completion of the Pardoo 
project for Atlas Iron and the commencement of crushing 
operations at Abydos at the beginning of the year. Peculiar 
Knob and Mt Dove projects continued to contribute to 
production during the period. Total crushing production 
increased from 4m tonne to over 11m tonne during the 
financial year as MACA continued to grow its capability and 
market recognition in this area.

MACA remains focused on providing a safe workplace for 
its employees, contractors and visitors. We acknowledge 
that the successful leadership of safety is principle to our 
business success and it is an enduring philosophy of ours 
that each employee return home every day safe and in the 
same way they began the day.

Focus on the development of new safety standard 
initiatives continues as one of our key business drivers. 
The goal of ‘Zero Harm’ underpins every task we perform in 
the workplace.

MACA Civil Pty Ltd has accreditation to the Federal Building 
and Construction OHS Scheme. This safety accreditation 
facilitates access to tender opportunities listed as federally 
funded projects.

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.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
MACA manages risk through the continual improvement, 
measurement and review of its systems and processes 
targeted specifically to prevent incidents. Quarterly audits 
are conducted across all projects with compliance measured 
against 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 processes has seen our Lost Time Injury 
Frequency Rate (LTIFR) remain below industry benchmarks, 
a good outcome considering the business growth and 
increase in number of new employees and contractors to 
our business.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

HUMAN RESOURCES
As at 30 June 2014 the Group had a total workforce of 
approximately 1380 employees and subcontractors.

The labour market has eased allowing the Group an 
opportunity to attract new talent whilst building on its 
retention strategies. Imperative to our business success is 
the skills and experience of our people and their ability to 
work in a safe and productive manner.

MACA continues to develop and improve a number of 
programmes to enhance the performance and satisfaction 
of our workforce even when the industry in general has 
retracted. Internal and external leadership programmes, 
scholarships for mining and civil engineers, and the in-
house development of our key people ensures the skills 
and capability of our workforce is enabled to meet future 
business challenges. The company now has a recognised 
certificated up-skilling programme within our  
crushing department.

MACA’s apprenticeship scheme also continued to grow 
in the 2014 financial year with a further increase in our 
intake of critical trade apprentices. MACA’s key strength 
resides in the ability to retain the business culture that has 
delivered successful outcomes and the business recognises 
the importance of retaining these values as the company 
continues to grow.

MACA maintains a proactive approach to diversity through 
the monitoring of employment outcomes particularly 
for female and indigenous groups. Policies have been 
established to meet our commitment to embrace diversity 
and recruitment and retention strategies have been 
established to fulfil this goal.

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

COMMUNITY
MACA, with the support of its employees, suppliers and 
stakeholders maintains a strong link to the regions and 
communities in which it operates. The Company actively 
contributes and supports many regional and local groups 
across a diverse range of activities as part of our focus to be 
a solid community participant.

MACA has also maintained its “Powered By” sponsorship 
of the ‘Sunsuper Ride to Conquer Cancer’ which directly 
supports the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research 
(Perkins). The support of ‘Perkins’ and the ride will continue 
in the current year with MACA workforce and stakeholders 
united in its efforts to raise in excess of $1.3m with 300 
participating riders for this year’s event.

During the year MACA continued its long term association 
with the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, through the 
provision of funds for medical equipment. The Company is 
also involved in various forms of sponsorship, the Hawaiian 
Ride for Youth and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

OUTLOOK
MACA’s strong operational performance and relationships 
with its clients continues to generate opportunities for 
growth. Despite a challenging market environment MACA 
is well positioned both financially and operationally to 
support its clients, both existing and new, on delivering 
their growth aspirations. The Company has a strong balance 
sheet to fund future projects and is well positioned and 
resourced to take advantage of new opportunities.

MACA has delivered reliable, quality services which has 
supported our customers in developing and executing their 
projects. We are confident that this successful formula will 
continue to grow the business with our existing customers 
and attract the attention of potential new clients. MACA 
is focused on continuing to deliver its services to clients 
whilst maintaining the ongoing commitment to its people, 
their safety and the culture that has made the business 
successful to this date.

MACA highly values its hard working and loyal employees. 
On behalf of the board, I would like to extend my thanks to 
them and all of our stakeholders who remain an essential 
component of our success.

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 did not engage any organisation to review the levels of senior 
executive and non executive remuneration.

17

DIRECTOR’S REPORT MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   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 $600,000. This provides for any future increases to 
Non Executive Directors fees and to allow for any changes to the Board make up and potential increases in the number of 
Non Executive Directors.

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 KMP comprise of three components. The first two comprise 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 issued as a long term incentive (LTI), which to date has been implemented to the 
executives as outlined below. The STI and LTI compensation structure is made up of a combination of profit performance 
targets, delivered safety targets, personal performance and total shareholder return. 

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. In the 2013/14 year base 
salaries were adjusted mainly for CPI increases and changes in roles.

The STI component for the 2013/14 financial year was up to 25% of the base salary package dependent on the individual 
executive. The 2014/15 STI component is up to 25% of base salary. Further detail on the STI payments made in the 2013/14 
year is set out later in this Remuneration Report. The hurdle components in 2014/15 comprise Net Profit after Tax, Earnings 
per Share, Return on Capital Employed, safety, and personal performance measures.

The Group had a LTI plan in place for Operations Director Mr Geoff Baker on the following terms:

A retention bonus paid in cash of $750,000 subject to a further 3 years of continued service with MACA from 3 November 
2010 and a minimum share price for the Company’s shares at the time of vesting (November 2013). This was satisfied and has 
been paid during the year. 

During the year performance rights were issued to each of the General Manager - Mining Mr Tim Gooch, General Manager 
- Plant and Crushing Mr Mitch Wallace and General Manager - Civil Mr Maurice Dessauvagie pursuant to an LTI Plan on the 
following terms:

- 

- 

- 

- 

The performance rights will have a 3 year vesting period

Vesting conditions will include continuous employment during this period plus performance hurdles

The performance hurdles will comprise a 25% growth in earnings per share component and a 75% relative TSR 
component against a specified group of comparable companies 

The number of performance rights issued was determined as 20% of each employee’s current fixed annual 
remuneration divided by the independently assessed value of a performance right.

The first Performance Criteria accounting for 75% of the total allocation is the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) 
percentile ranking over the Performance Period relative to the TSR achieved by a Comparator Group of companies within the 
ASX Industrials Index over that same period.  Specifically, if the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period is:

(i)  below the 50th percentile of the TSR achieved by the Comparator  Group of companies, then nil Performance Rights will vest;

(ii)  at the 50th percentile of the TSR achieved by the Comparator Group of companies, then 50% of the Performance Rights 

will vest;

(iii)  between the 50th and 75th percentile of the TSR achieved by the Comparator Group of companies then between 50% and 

100% of the Performance Rights will vest pro-rata; and

(iv)  at or above the 75th percentile of the TSR achieved by the Comparator Group of companies, 100% of the Performance 

Rights will vest.

TSR means, broadly, the increase in the share price plus dividends paid, excluding franking credits and taxation, over the 
Performance Period.

18

DIRECTOR’S REPORTMACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014 
The second Performance Criteria accounting for 25% of the total allocation is the Company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) over 
the vesting period. Specifically, if the compound growth in the Company’s EPS over the Performance Period is:

(i)  below 6% per annum – then nil Performance Rights will vest;

(ii)  equal to 6% per annum– then 50% of Performance Rights will vest;

(iii)  between 6% and 12.5% annum– then 50% - 100% of the Performance Rights will vest pro-rata; and

(iv)  equal to 12.5% or higher then 100% of Performance Rights will vest;

The Group will seek approval at the AGM for the issue of performance rights to the Managing Director Mr Chris Tuckwell 
pursuant to an LTI Plan on the following terms:

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

The performance rights will have a 3 year vesting period

Vesting conditions will include continuous employment during this period plus performance hurdles

The performance hurdles will comprise a 25% growth in earnings per share component and a 75% relative TSR 
component against a specified group of comparable companies 

The number of performance rights issued will be determined as 25% of Mr Tuckwell’s current fixed annual 
remuneration divided by the independently assessed value of a performance right.

Full particulars of the terms and conditions will be set out in the information sent to shareholders for the 
purposes of the forthcoming annual general meeting.

The Remuneration Committee assesses whether the performance conditions under both the STI and LTI components are 
achieved and makes recommendations to the Board.

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 2014 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.

A listed entity should establish and disclose the respective roles and responsibilities of board and management and how 
their performance is monitored and evaluated.

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.

27

 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   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 currently comprises three non-executive directors including the Chairman, and two executive directors.

The board for the 2014 reporting period consisted of equal numbers of independent and non independent directors. The 
current board now consists of 2 executive directors, and 3 non executive directors of which only 2 of these directors are 
considered independent. This mix of executive and non-executive directors is considered by the board to be a reasonable 
balance given the Company’s size and current circumstances. Nevertheless, the board will continue to consider its size and 
composition to ensure it represents the best interest of all security holders.

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 12 to 14 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 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 bests 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 Linton Kirk are independent directors.

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.

28

CORPORATE GOVERNANCEMACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014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 has undertaken an evaluation of its effectiveness as a whole and in committee 
against a broad range of good practice criteria. The results of this evaluation will be used as part of the Board’s continual 
improvement process. These evaluations are intended to be undertaken annually by the Board and 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. Evaluation of the Chairman’s performance is included in the Board evaluation process. 

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 director 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 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 appointments 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.

29

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   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 continually reviews its succession plans, promotions and turnover to ensure there is an appropriate focus on 
diversity.  The Company has identified specific factors in the recruitment and selection processes to encourage the diversity 
of its workforce. 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. These programs include 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 has developed 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 initial measurable objectives are 
indicated below and will be expanded over time:

Item Measurable Objective

Report on gender diversity and 
salary equality

Increase the representation of 
women as a percentage of total 
employees to 15% by 2015

The Human Resources Manager has been appointed as the Company’s Diversity 
Manager to oversee the application of the Diversity Policy and provide the Board with 
regular measurement and review as to the effectiveness of the Policy and objectives. 
At each board meeting directors are provided up to date information on gender 
diversity and salary equality.

The Groups female participation rate has decreased from 14.4% to 12.4% over the 
past 12 months. This has occurred through natural attrition, projects closing and 
projects commencing during the year. The Group continues to develop 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.

Promote an equal opportunity 
culture

The Group promotes a culture of equal employment which is supported by the 
board and executive management team. Remuneration levels are determined 
based on position and competency, not gender. Review processes are supported 
by diversity surveys.

The Company is also aiming to achieve salary equality across gender at all levels of the organisation.

Recommendation 3.4:
Companies should disclose in each annual report the proportion of women employees in the whole organisation, women 
in senior executive positions and women on the board.

The proportion of women employees in the organisation as of 30 June 2014 is:

In whole organisation
In senior executive positions
On the Board

 %
12.4
-
-

Number
142
-
-

The Company will continue to strive to achieve these gender objectives on an ongoing basis. The aim is to appoint more 
women into senior executive and Board roles, as opportunities arise and as appropriate candidates are identified. This 
will be done with the implementation of the Group’s diversity policy and the regular reporting to the Board on progress in 
achieving these objectives.

30

procedures to enable accurate, timely, clear and adequate disclosure to the market in accordance with the Listing Rules.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent MACA 
Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. 
The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with 
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is 
provided in Note 13.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group 
from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from 
the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions 
between group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed 
and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as “non-
controlling interests”. The Group initially recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests 
in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair 
value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other 
comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement 
of financial position and statement of comprehensive income.

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.

 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

Fair value uplifts in the value of pre-existing equity holdings are taken to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
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 Profit or Loss and Other 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 Profit or 
Loss and Other 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.

There were no investments in associates as at 30 June 2014.

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 as 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.

40

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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 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.  Construction Contracts and Work in Progress

Construction work in progress is measured at cost, plus profit recognised to date less any provision for anticipated 
future losses. Cost includes both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are 
attributable to the contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Construction profits are recognised on the stage of completion basis and measured using the proportion of costs 
incurred to date compared to the expected actual costs. Where losses are anticipated they are allowed for in full.

Construction revenue has been recognised on the basis of the terms of the contract adjusted for any variations or 
claims allowable under the contract.

f.  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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive 
Income. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset 
charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 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.

41

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 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(i) 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 Profit or 
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

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% - 66.67%
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 Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are 
sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

g.  Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but 
not the legal ownership 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.

h.  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.

Amortised cost is calculated as:

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

a. 
b. 
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
less any reduction for impairment.

d. 

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.)

43

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

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 an indication that 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 
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.

i. 

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.

44

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

j.  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.

k.  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. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the 
market bid price. The fair value of options and performance rights are ascertained using a Black–Scholes pricing 
model and a Monte Carlo simulation respectively 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 date 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. The impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, is 
recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with corresponding 
adjustment to the equity settled Option Reserve.

l.  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.

m.  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.

n.  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)

45

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

o.  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.

p.  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.

q.  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 cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of 
investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

r.  Changes in ownership interests

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions 
with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interests results in an adjustment between the carrying 
amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any 
difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and the consideration paid or 
received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of MACA Limited.

When the group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity 
is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is 
the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, 
jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or 
liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to 
profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant 
influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

s.  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.

t.  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.

46

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 
Group’s best estimates. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of 
the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the Group’s understanding thereof. 
No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position 
represents that 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 is 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 Group’s understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group’s 
development and its current environmental impact such treatment is considered reasonable and appropriate.

u.  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.

v.  New and Amended Accounting Policies Adopted by the Group

Consolidated financial statements

The group adopted the following Australian Accounting Standards, together with the relevant consequential 
amendments arising from related Amending Standards, from the mandatory application date of 1 January 2013:

– AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements; 
– AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; and 
– AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements.

AASB 10 provides a revised definition of “control” and may result in an entity having to consolidate an investee 
that was not previously consolidated and/or deconsolidate an investee that was consolidated under the previous 
accounting pronouncements.

The first-time application of AASB 10, 12 and 127 did not result in any changes to the group’s financial statements.

47

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Employee benefits
The group adopted AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011–10: Amendments to Australian 
Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) from the mandatory application date of 1 January 
2013. The Group has applied these Standards retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108: Accounting Policies 
Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and the transitional provisions of AASB 119.

The adoption of these Standards does not affect the group’s financial statements as the group does not operate 
any defined benefit employee plans.

AASB 2011-4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management  Personnel 
Disclosure Requirements. 

This standard removes the individual key management personnel disclosure requirements in AASB 124 ‘Related 
Party Disclosures’. As a result, the Group only discloses the key management personnel compensation in total and 
for each of the categories required in AASB 124. 

In the current year, the individual key management personnel disclosure previously required by AASB 124 (note 
6 in the 30 June 2013 financial statements) is now disclosed in the remuneration report due to an amendment to 
Corporations Regulations 2001.

w.  Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, 
depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an 
orderly (ie unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the 
measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to 
determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific 
asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined 
using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of 
observable market data.

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability 
(ie the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a 
market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (ie the market that 
maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after 
taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use 
the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its 
highest and best use.

The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment 
arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial 
instrument, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this 
information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, are detailed in the 
respective note to the financial statements.

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 10. 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 within 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.

The balance of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of 
acceptable credit quality.

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.

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. 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.

Unallocated items
The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not 
considered part of the core operations of any segment:

•

As at the date of exercise, the weighted average share price of options exercised during the year was $1.15.

All options were exercised prior to the expiration date on 1 January 2014. There were no outstanding options at the end 
of the reporting period. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at year end was nil.

The fair value of the options granted to employees is deemed to represent the value of the employee services received 
over the vesting period.

The life of the options is based on the historical exercise patterns, which may not eventuate in the future.

The total share based payment expense in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 30 June 2014 relating to the 
grant of share options in November 2010 (which fully vested during the year) is $189,535 (2013: $526,000). 

(b)  Performance Rights

There were 446,830 performance rights issued for the year ended 30 June 2014. 185,000 performance rights were 
terminated upon Mr Grewars resignation leaving a balance of 261,830 at 30 June 2014. (2013: Nil)

An independent valuation was completed on performance rights granted during the year.  Market based vesting 
conditions were valued using a hybrid share option pricing model that simulates the share price of the Company as at 
the test date using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.  For non-market based vesting conditions no discount was made 
to the underlying valuation model. The weighted average fair value of the performance rights granted during the year 
ended 30 June 2014 was $1.55 per right. The total share based payment expense for the year ended 30 June 2014 
relating to the grant of performance rights in the statement of profit or loss is $95,403 (2013: Nil)

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

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.

65

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014 MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014   NOTE 27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

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 27 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 10(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 10(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 lease 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.

The Group is also exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer 
terms. The risk associated with these investments has been assessed as reasonably not having a significant 
impact on the Group.

iii.  Foreign exchange risk

The group is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies.

Sensitivity Analysis
The following illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates, and equity prices. The table 
indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected 
by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of the other variables.

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 31. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together 
with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are 
discussed below:

– 

AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2017).
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes 
revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and 
derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting.

The key changes made to the Standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain 
simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, 
and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held 
for trading in other comprehensive income.  AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will 
allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items.  
Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of AASB 9, 
the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the Group’s financial 
instruments, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact.

– 

AASB 2012–3:  Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014).
This Standard provides clarifying guidance relating to the offsetting of financial instruments, which is not expected 
to impact the Group’s financial statements.

70

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSfor the year ended 30 June 2014MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014NOTE 31. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN  
FUTURE PERIODS (CONTINUED)

– 

– 

– 

– 

Interpretation 21: Levies (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014).
Interpretation 21 clarifies the circumstances under which a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government should 
be recognised, and whether that liability should be recognised in full at a specific date or progressively over a 
period of time. This Interpretation is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

AASB 2013–3: Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (applicable for 
annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014).
This Standard amends the disclosure requirements in AASB 136: Impairment of Assets pertaining to the use of fair 
value in impairment assessment and is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

AASB 2013–4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of 
Hedge Accounting (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014).
AASB 2013–4 makes amendments to AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to permit the 
continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging 
instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. 
This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

AASB 2013–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities (applicable for annual 
reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014).
AASB 2013–5 amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements to define an “investment entity” and requires, 
with limited exceptions, that the subsidiaries of such entities be accounted for at fair value through profit or loss 
in accordance with AASB 9 and not be consolidated. Additional disclosures are also required. As neither the parent 
nor its subsidiaries meet the definition of an investment entity, this Standard is not expected to significantly impact 
the Group’s financial statements.
