For personal use onlyDuring the 2018 financial year, the Company generated annual 
revenue on a pro forma basis of $153.4 million ($173.4 million 
including Statewide) from its business base covering tyre and 
wheel  importing  and  original  equipment  supplying,  with  a 
sectoral focus on 4WD, SUV and cars.  In the 2018 financial year, 
the Company converted this activity to a pro forma EBITDA of 
$16.9 million, which exceeded the pro forma forecast set out in 
its prospectus. 

The  Company’s  balance  sheet  is  strong  with  net  cash  at  
30 June 2018 of $5.2 million and a debt to equity ratio of 22%.

Directors declared a final dividend of 2.3 cents per share (fully 
franked) which was paid to shareholders on 8 October 2018, 
bringing the full year dividend to 3.3 cents (fully franked). The 
full year dividend represents a payout ratio of 58% of net profit 
after tax but before amortisation (NPATA), which is consistent 
with the Company’s policy of paying out 40% - 60% of NPATA. 

The  Company  now  employs  more  than  200  people  in  three 
countries (Australia, New Zealand and South Africa), operates 
11  distribution  centres  and  utilises  another  seven  third-party 
distribution  facilities.    The  business  now  sells  more  than 
1,000,000 tyres and wheels annually to over 2,000 customers.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder

The  2018  financial  year  was  a 
transformational  year 
for  your 
Company  as  it  undertook  a  $59 
million  initial  public  offering  (IPO), 
listed  on  the  Australian  Securities 
Exchange  and  completed  multiple 
business acquisitions. 

The Company achieved a pro forma 
the 
profit  result 
forecast published in the prospectus, issued as part of its IPO. 
By any measure, it has been a busy and successful year for the 
Company. 

that  exceeded 

The  acquisition  transactions  were  the  culmination  of  a  plan 
made  four  years  ago  to  increase  the  scale  and  diversity  of 
the Company’s activities, while continuing to grow the original 
Exclusive Tyre Distributors business, to reduce risk, create an 
opportunity  for  founding  shareholders  to  realise  some  of  the 
value they had built and facilitate other expansionary outcomes.  

During  the  2018  financial  year,  the  Company  acquired  three 
new  businesses  and  the  remaining  shares  in  two  others  as 
follows:

•  Cotton Tyre Service;

•  50% of TyreLife Solutions (South Africa);

• 

 the  remaining  shares  in  MPC  Mags  &  Wheels  Pty  Ltd  and 
Dynamic Wheel Co Pty Ltd; and

• 

 Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd (Statewide).

The  Company  has  successfully  executed  organic  growth 
strategies focused on the importation and wholesale distribution 
of wheels and tyres. These core activities are substantial and 
service  a  wide  array  of  consumers  and  businesses  using  an 
extensive  range  of  vehicles.  The  various  operating  entities 
owned by the Company concentrate on being leaders in their 
respective market segments.  

Our  prime  objective  is  to  assure  employees,  customers, 
suppliers  and  shareholders  that  the  Company  is  a  stable, 
secure and durable entity, determined to serve their interests 
and  dedicated  to  rewarding  the  differing  investments  each 
of them makes. I am pleased to report that these goals were 
achieved in the 2018 year.

For personal use onlyDuring the year, I was appointed Chairman of the Board and 
Mr Robert Kent joined as a non-executive director.  The results 
achieved  by  the  Company  in  a  year  filled  with  executing 
multiple  transactional  and  organic  growth  strategies  are 
outstanding and a testament to the dedicated hard work and 
commitment  of  all  of  our  Directors,  management  and  staff.  I 
thank them all for their contribution.

I  would  also  like  to  thank  our  customers,  suppliers  and 
shareholders for the support they have delivered over the past 
year. 

Yours faithfully

Managing Director’s Report

Introduction

The  Company  welcomed  over 
2,000 new shareholders as part  of 
an  initial  public  offering  (IPO)  and 
listing  on  the  Australian  Securities 
Exchange  which  were  completed 
on  15  December  2017.  The  IPO 
to  a 
was  completed  according 
prospectus  dated  24  November 
2017.  The  Company  is  a  holding 
Company for a number of operating subsidiaries (the “Group”).

At the same time as the ASX listing, the Group expanded via 
the acquisition of:

• 

• 

• 

• 

the assets of Cotton Tyre Service;

 50%  of  TyreLife  Solutions,  a  South  African  tyre  importer/
wholesaler;

 45.6%  of  Dynamic  Wheel  Co  that  the  Company  did  not 
already own; and 

 50%  of  MPC  Mags  &  Wheels  that  the  Company  did  not 
already own.

The  Company  acquired  Statewide  Tyre  Distribution  in  May 
2018  and  the  FY18  results  include  a  brief  period  of  trading  
by that business.

Operations

The  Company  carries  on  the  business  of  importing  and 
wholesaling  tyres  and  wheels  in  Australia,  New  Zealand 
and  South  Africa.  We  employ  over  200  people  and  sell  to  
over  2,000  customers.  Figure  A  below  describes  our 
distribution footprint.

During  the  year,  we  combined  the  warehouse  operations  of 
Dynamic Wheel Company and Cotton Tyre Service in Adelaide. 

The Group is engaged in the following businesses:

• 

• 

• 

• 

 premium  4WD,  SUV  and  passenger  tyre  importing  and 
wholesaling  (Exclusive  Tyre  Distributors  in  Australia  and 
New Zealand as well as TyreLife Solutions in South Africa);

 wheel importing and wholesaling (Dynamic Wheel Co);

 supplying  tyres  and  wheels  as  original  equipment  to 
caravan manufacturers (MPC); and

 broad  based 
wholesaling (Statewide).

and  budget 

tyre 

importing 

and  

The prospectus included 3 years of pro forma accounts for the 
Group  to  provide  a  normalised  basis  of  comparing  financial 
performance  over  that  period.  This  Annual  Report  includes 
references to those pro forma accounts.

Figure B

The  Company  focuses  on  addressing  the  needs  of  the 
following segments within the broad tyre and wheel industry:

• 

  geographic  expansion  of  wheel  sales  (NSW  and  New 
Zealand); and 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 premium 4WD, SUV and passenger tyres;

 steel and alloy wheels for 4WD vehicles;

 original equipment wheels and tyres for caravans; and

 lower priced tyres.

The  Company  is  dedicated  to  being  a  value  adding,  trusted 
supplier to its customers.

In FY18, the Company’s organic growth was underpinned by:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

  increased  sales  of  new  SUV  and  passenger  products 
introduced by ETD and ETD NZ in September 2016;

  retail  customers  increasingly  adopting  a  loyalty  program 
(the 360° Partner Program) introduced by ETD and ETD NZ 
in 2016;

  a  program  to  differentiate  key  products  by  their  technical 
features and benefits (the TCC Program);

 growing demand for steel wheels;

 increased caravan manufacture;

• 

 new customers and a growing market share in South Africa.  

Acquisition Strategy

The  tyre  and  wheel  markets  can  be  segmented  in  various 
ways  –  by  vehicle  type,  vehicle  use,  geography  and  price/
quality position. The Company does not yet operate in certain 
segments  such  as  truck  and  bus  tyres,  agricultural  tyres, 
industrial tyres (e.g. fork trucks) and lower price tyres outside 
South Australia. It is also underweight in other segments such 
as passenger car tyres. 

The  Company  aspires  to  acquire  other  tyre  and  wheel 
wholesale  businesses  that  operate  in  these  segments  to 
expand  its  supplier  and  customer  bases,  build  economies  of 
scale,  capture  revenue  and  cost  synergies  and  diversify  its 
streams of revenue and earnings.   

Like  the  acquisitions  completed  to  date,  there  are  other 
wholesale businesses that meet these acquisition criteria.

Outlook

The  tyre  market  is  expected  to  grow  as  the  vehicle  fleet 
increases  in  Australia,  New  Zealand  and  South  Africa,  with 
growth  in  target  segments  (especially  SUV)  growing  faster 
than  others.  Distances  travelled  and,  consequently  the  rate 
at which tyres are changed, may increase if the depreciating 
domestic  currencies  in  these  markets  (relative  to  the  USD)  
keeps travellers in the relevant country. Price competition has 
been intense in each region for over three years and we don’t 
expect any significant change to that market dynamic. 

The  devaluation  of  the  domestic  currencies  against  the  US 
dollar  since  January  2018  will  increase  import  prices  for  the 
vast majority of importers. Tyre prices in markets beyond the 
Group’s territories have increased due to higher raw material 
costs and we expect those increases will flow through to our 
markets  in  due  course.  Typically,  suppliers  understand  that 
higher  import  prices  have  an  impact  on  competitiveness, 
regardless of how those increases are caused. As import price 
changes of this kind eventually affect all industry participants, 
competiors move more or less in unison and we don’t expect 
import  price  changes  to  have  any  long  term  impact  on  our 
performance. 

The strategic direction of our operating entities will not change 
substantially  in  FY19.  We  expect  organic  business  growth 
opportunities will be underpinned by

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 The launch of a new generation Cooper AT3 (an all-terrain 
4WD tyre and our largest selling product) in Australia, New 
Zealand and South Africa;

 The launch of a new all-terrain tyre in Q3;

 Continuing sales growth driven by the 360 loyalty program;

 New wheel products (Dynamic and MPC);

 Selling by some businesses into new geographic markets; 

 Cross selling between business units; and

 Initiatives  dealing  with  the  changing  nature  of  consumer 
purchase pathways (e.g. accessing information online).

The Company has identified businesses that fit the acquisition 
principles outlined earlier and we will be seeking to negotiate 
transactions that meet our criteria.

$10.7 million was ahead of the 
prospectus forecast of $10.3 million

Acknowledgements

FY18 was obviously a watershed moment in the history of the 
Company. To have completed a public share offer, ASX listing, 
numerous  acquisition  transactions  and  grown  all  business 
units in one year is an outstanding achievement. 

These outcomes were made possible by the contributions of 
our people, suppliers, customers and advisors, as well as the 
support  we  received  from  new  and  departing  shareholders. 
Everyone  involved  will  be  rightly  proud  of  what  has  been 

achieved.

Review of operations 
NTAW (ASX:NTD) successfully listed  on the Australian Stock Exchange on 15  December 2017 following  an initial public 
offer (“IPO”) of 24,922,767 new shares and the sale of 34,077,233 existing shares at a price of $1.00 per share, raising a 
total of $59 million. NTAW published a Prospectus dated 24 November 2017 (“Prospectus”) in connection with that offer. 

NTAW is the holding company for the following operating subsidiaries:

 Dynamic Wheel Co Pty Ltd (“Dynamic”); 
 M.P.C. Mags & Wheels Pty Ltd (“MPC”); 
 Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd (“Statewide”); and

business models that offer competitive advantages. 

ETD  and  ETDNZ  are  the  exclusive  importers  and  wholesale  distributors  of  Cooper,  Mickey  Thompson,  Starfire  and 
Mastercraft  branded  4WD,  SUV  and  passenger  tyres  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand.  They  also  import  Federal  branded 
tyres  in  Australia  (excluding  Queensland)  and  New  Zealand.  Cooper  and  Mickey  Thompson  products  are  well  known  to 
consumers  for  their  reliability  and  performance  and  exclusive  arrangements  between  ETD,  ETDNZ  and  retail  customers 
underpin strong retail support for the promotion of products.

● 

 ETD  and  ETDNZ  introducing  a  wider  range  of  Cooper  branded  products  that  are  suitable  for  SUV  and  passenger 
vehicles  (these  entities  historically  focussed  on  the  4WD  segment)  and,  in  the  process,  they  are  repositioning  the 
Cooper brand; 
 A loyalty program for ETD and ETDNZ customers launched in 2016; 
 Tapping into new consumer pathways arising from access consumers now have to information via the internet;

 Statewide is focussing on improving business processes to enhance customer experiences. 
 Top  Draw  Tyres  recently  launched  the  Mickey  Thompson  range  of  products  in  South  Africa  and,  having  been  in 
business for less than 5 years, continues to grow by attracting new customers in its territory. 
 NTAW also plans to grow by acquiring other wholesale wheel and/or tyre businesses in Australia and New Zealand.

NTAW’s Board and management are pleased to report that the results for the financial year are in line with the pro forma 
forecast set out in the Prospectus. 

Result highlights 

Statutory results 
NTAW has reported total revenue of $147.5 million for the financial year, an increase of $27.0 million (22.4%) on the prior 
year  resulting  from  the  increased  sales  across  all  business  units  and  the  acquisition  of  several  entities  during  the 
year. Details of the businesses acquired are contained on page 7. 

NTAW’s statutory profit for the Group after providing for income tax and non-controlling interest amounted to $4.5 million 
(30 June 2017: $5.5 million). 

The  profit  for  the  previous  financial  year  reflects  a  different  capital  structure  and  no  public  company  costs.  The  current 
financial year profit was impacted by the one-off costs associated with the IPO, pre-IPO acquisition expenses, recognition 
of share based payment expenses relating to an existing option plan and other items as described in the results highlight 
below.  NTAW’s  financial  year  result  was  also  impacted  by  permanent  tax  differences  including  the  non-deductibility  of 
share based payments expenses on the existing option plan exercised on IPO. Refer to Note 6 to the financial statements 
for further details. 

The  combined  effect  of  these  differences  and  effects  is  $4.8  million  (see  Table  2,  difference  in  FY2018  pro  forma  and 
statutory actual, NPAT attributable to NTAW). 

Pro forma results 
In addition to the statutory results, pro forma financial information is presented below to enable the results for the financial 
year to be compared to the financial information contained in NTAW’s Prospectus. The pro forma information is provided 
on  an  unaudited  basis  and  a  reconciliation  between  the  statutory  and  pro  forma  performance  information  is  contained 
within this report. 

NTAW’s pro forma result for the financial year was a profit after providing for income tax and non-controlling interests and 
excluding  amortisation  (NPATA)  of  $10.74  million  compared  with  a  Prospectus  forecast  pro  forma  NPATA  for  the  year 
ending 30 June 2018 of $10.27 million.

Directors’ Report
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2018
Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect the inclusion of the acquired interests in Cotton and Top Draw Tyres with 
effect from 1 July 2017, and to reflect the cost structure of the Group as a listed entity.  Statewide’s results are included in 
the statutory results from the date of acquisition, but have been excluded from the pro forma results in each of the following 
tables as it was not included in the Prospectus forecast. 

Key operating metrics of NTAW 

Table 1 below shows some of the key operating metrics and ratios for NTAW for the financial year. 

NTAW sold 776,123 tyre units in the financial year compared with 720,566 in the 2017 financial year and forecast sales of 
783,550  tyre  units.  While  the  Group  achieved  year  on  year  growth,  4WD  tyre  unit  sales  growth  in  Australia  was  below 
expectations due to recent releases of new competing products.  A new generation version of ETD’s biggest selling 4WD 
product will be launched in September 2018.  The Group has reported a pro forma full year gross profit margin of 32.6% 
and  a  strong  EBITDA  margin  of  11.0%,  which  are  above  the  Prospectus  forecast  margins  of  31.6%  and  10.6% 
respectively. The gross profit margin is derived from lower than expected USD imported prices and more favourable than 
expected exchange rates between the AUD and USD.  The Group’s operating costs as a percentage of sales was slightly 
higher  than  forecast.  This  was  the  result  of  timing  of  costs  associated  with  employment  expenses  and  advertising  and 
promotion activities.

  NPAT relating to acquired businesses - reflects the trading of the Group from 1 July 2016 to the dates on which they became controlled (to the extent such trading was not already 

included in the FY2017 statutory financials for NTAW, or the FY2018 statutory forecast).

  Equity accounting Top Draw Tyres - reflects the equity accounted share of Top Draw Tyres profit for the period from 1 November 2017 until the date of control 13 December 2017. 

  Unrealised FX translations – reflects the non-cash accounting for foreign exchange translations at 31 December 2017 in accordance with AASB 121. 

  Offer costs – reflects the amounts forecast to be expensed in FY2018 in relation to the Prospectus offer (fees payable to advisors, Lead Manager and tax, accounting and legal fees) 

and the listing on the ASX. Note that $1.475 million of the offer costs (relating to the primary issue) are tax effected and netted off against issued capital. 

5 

  Public  company  costs  –  reflects  the  increase  in  corporate  costs  expected  as  a  consequence  of  the  Company  becoming  ASX  listed.  The  costs  principally  relate  to  Board  and 

governance  (additional  non-executive  Directors,  Audit  and  Remuneration  Committee),  additional  professional,  legal  and  company  secretarial  costs  as  well  as  an  increase  in 

administrative resources and investor relations. The FY2018 adjustment reflects the incremental costs that  have  not been  incurred prior to completion but are included in the pro 

forma forecast. 

6 

  Share based payments – reflects a share based payments remuneration expense based upon the LTI scheme operating prior to the IPO after ignoring the costs associated with a 

new  LTI  scheme,  incorporating  “at  risk”  share  based  remuneration  to  key  management  personnel  and  to  other  employees  under  a  proposed  Employee  Equity  Plan  to  be 

implemented from and including the 2019 financial year. The statutory forecast for the 2018 financial year included a share based expense of approximately $2.652 million which is 

the expense for the option package for senior management of NTAW prior to the IPO. This package does not reflect the expense of the share based equity scheme post IPO. 50% of 

the post IPO scheme has been represented in the pro forma adjustment. All options under the pre IPO plan have been exercised and held as ordinary shares and were either to be 

sold through the offer or held in escrow. 

  Other pro forma adjustments – includes one-off costs that are considered to be non-recurring as well as Group elimination entries. 

  Interest (net) – Interest (net) reflects the expense on the corporate debt facility and finance leases at completion, offset by interest income on cash. 

  Taxation  adjustment  –  Net  taxation  effect  of  other  residual  items  between  forecast  pro  forma  taxation  expense  (including  recurring  non-deductible  items)  and  taxation  statutory

Business acquisitions 
Several business acquisitions were completed during the financial year: 
● 

 Top  Draw  Tyres  -  On  30  September  2017,  NTAW  acquired  34%  of  the  ordinary  shares  in  Top  Draw  Tyres,  the 
importer and distributor of tyres in South Africa. NTAW subsequently acquired a further 16% in Top Draw Tyres on 13 
December 2017.  Top Draw Tyre’s balance sheet was consolidated into the Group accounts on 31 December 2017. 
 S.N Tyre Wholesaler Pty Ltd ('Cotton') - On 31 October 2017, the Group acquired 100% of the business assets from 
Cotton, a distributor of tyres in South Australia and Northern Territory. 
 MPC  -  On  14  December  2017,  NTAW  acquired  the  remaining  50%  of  the  shares  in  MPC,  a  previously  recognised 
controlled entity. 
 Dynamic  -  On  14  December  2017,  NTAW  acquired  the  remaining  45.6%  of  the  shares  in  Dynamic,  a  previously 
recognised controlled entity. 
 Statewide  -  On  31  May  2018,  the  Group  acquired  100%  of  the  ordinary  shares  in  Statewide,  the  importer  and 
distributor of tyres in South Australia, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.

Further details of these acquisitions are included in Note 33 to the financial statements. 

Capital management – debt & equity 
The  Group’s  debt  facility  was  increased  by  $7.5  million  to  $14.38  million  with  an  expiry  date  of  21  May  2021  during  the 
financial  year,  to  assist  with  the  acquisition  of  Statewide. Repayments  during  the  financial  year  have  reduced  the  facility 
limit to $14.0 million at the end of the year. Further facility details are contained in note 20 to the financial statements. 

The  Group  raised  $59.0  million  (prior  to  transaction  costs)  during  the  financial  year  as  part  of  the  IPO  process,  which 
included the issue of 24.9 million shares. In addition, 15.75 million shares were issued as part consideration for business 
acquisitions to the vendors of those businesses, and 7.58 million shares were issued to employees, prior to the IPO, upon 
the exercise of previously issued options. 

Other than the matters discussed in the Directors’ report, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of 
the Group during the financial year.

Significant balance sheet movements during the financial year were as follows: 
● 

 Total assets increased by $37.5 million, primarily due to the acquisition of businesses during the financial year and the 
resulting recognition of intangible assets and associated business assets, including inventory. 
 Total  liabilities  increased  by  $14.2  million  due  to  the  net  increase  in  borrowings  ($6.2  million)  for  the  Statewide 
business acquisition and an increase in trade payables following business acquisitions. 
 Issued capital increased by $45.8 million which included the issue of new shares as noted above. 

● 

● 

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year 
Apart from the dividend declared as discussed above, no other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2018 that 
has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's 
state of affairs in future financial years. 

Likely developments and expected results of operations 
The Group will continue to pursue growth in revenue and profit in the next financial year as it seeks to further diversify its 
business and build the scale of its operations in the importation and wholesale distribution of tyres and wheels in Australia, 
New Zealand and South Africa. Focus areas will include organic growth in the markets within which it operates, including 
capitalising  on  the  opportunities  for  revenue  and  cost  synergies  associated  from  the  businesses  already  acquired,  and 
considering further acquisition growth over time.

30 June 2018
Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Material business risks 
The Board is committed to monitoring and mitigating business risks faced by the Group, including the following key risks 
that have the potential to materially impact its financial prospects: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 Supplier  risk  -  the  Group  is  reliant  on  long-term  formal  distribution  and  licence  agreements  with  key  suppliers, 
including  Cooper  Tire  and  Mickey  Thompson  for  the  supply  of  many  products  it  wholesales.    The  Group  owns 
customer relationships and controls the marketing of brands, but it relies on rights under formal long-term agreements 
granted by Cooper Tire and other suppliers to access those brands.  The Group proactively engages in maximising its 
key relationships to mitigate such risks. 

 Foreign exchange risk - a significant proportion of the Group’s costs and expenses, and an increasing proportion of 
revenues,  are  transacted  in  foreign  currencies.  Adverse  movements  between  the  Australian  dollar,  New  Zealand 
dollar and South African Rand against the US dollar may increase the price at which the Group acquires its trading 
stock  and  result  in  volatility  in  profitability  to  the  extent  that  the  Group  may  or  may  not  be  able  to  pass  on  price 
changes to  its customers (after allowing for the impact inventory cycles have on the time it takes for exchange rate 
movements to impact on cost of goods sold). The Company also seeks to use foreign exchange contracts to mitigate 
its  foreign  exchange  exposures.    The  effect  of  foreign  currency  translation  on  operating  results  from  offshore 
operations remains inherent in the Group’s business. 

 Business  integration  risk  –  the  Group  has  acquired  interests  in  several  businesses  during  the  financial  year. 
Successfully  integrating  and  extracting  synergies  from  acquisitions  and  managing  growth  is  critical  to  the  Group’s 
continued performance and earnings from the acquisitions.  The Group’s Board and management is experienced in 
acquiring  and  integrating  businesses,  conducts  comprehensive  due  diligence  and  ensures  an  integration  plan  is 
followed. 

 Retention of key personnel - the Group’s future success is significantly dependent on the expertise and experience of 
its  key  personnel  and  management.  The  loss  of  services  of  key  members  of  management,  and  any  delay  in  their 
replacement,  or  the  failure  to  attract  additional  key  managers  to  new  roles could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on 
NTAW’s financial performance and ability to deliver on its growth strategies. 

 Customer  risk  –  the  Group  is  dependent  on  its  ability  to  retain  its  existing  customers  and  attract  new  customers. 
Although customer concentration is low, sales revenue would be adversely affected if all members of a chain or group 
decided  not  to  purchase  products from the Group.  The Group proactively manages  its customer relationships,  and 
has established a value adding customer loyalty program. 

 Risk  of  competition  -  the  tyre  and  wheel  wholesale  market  is  highly  competitive.  Competition  is  based  on  factors 
including  price,  service,  quality,  performance  standards,  range  and  the  ability  to  provide  customers  with  an 
appropriate  range  of  quality  products  in  a  timely  manner.  A  failure  by  the  Group  to  effectively  compete  with  its 
competitors may adversely affect the Group’s future financial performance and position. 

Environmental regulation 
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under Australian Commonwealth or State law.

Directors’ Report
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2018
Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Remuneration report (audited) 
The Board is pleased to present the Company’s first remuneration report. 

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: 
(a)   Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
(b)   Details of remuneration 
(c)   Relationship between remuneration and Company performance 
(d)   Service agreements 
(e)   Share-based compensation 
(f) 
(g)   Other transactions with key management personnel 

 Equity instruments held by key management personnel 

(a)  Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The objective of the Group's executive remuneration framework is  to  ensure reward for  performance is  competitive and 
appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  remuneration  with  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives  and  the  creation  of  value  for  shareholders,  and  it  is  considered  to  conform  with  accepted  market  practice  for 
remuneration and reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive remuneration satisfies the following 
key criteria for good remuneration governance practices: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness; 
 acceptability to shareholders; 
 performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and 
 transparency. 

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and 
executives  and  making  recommendations  to  the  Board  for  consideration  and  approval.  The  performance  of  the  Group 
depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high 
performance and high quality personnel. 

The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  has structured  an  executive  remuneration  framework  that  is  market 
competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group, as determined by the Board. 

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board considers that it should 
seek to enhance shareholders' interests by: 
● 
● 

 having economic profit as a core component of plan design; 
 focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering 
constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and 
 attracting and retaining high calibre executives. 

● 

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by: 
● 
● 
● 

 rewarding capability and experience; 
 reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and 
 providing a clear structure for earning rewards. 

Since  the  Group’s  listing  on  the  ASX,  in  accordance  with  best  practice  corporate  governance,  the  structure  of  non-
executive director and executive director remuneration is separate. 

Non-executive directors' remuneration 
Fees  and  payments  to  non-executive  directors  reflect  the  demands  and  responsibilities  of  their  role.  Non-executive 
directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Remuneration 
and Nomination Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure 
non-executive  directors'  fees  and  payments  are  appropriate  and  in  line  with  the  market.  The  chairman's  fees  are 
determined independently to the fees of other non-executive directors based on comparative roles in the external market. 
The chairman is not present at any discussions relating to the determination of his own remuneration. Since the Group’s 
IPO, non-executive directors do not receive share options or other incentives.

Directors’ Report
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2018
Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Under NTAW’s constitution, the directors decide the total amount paid to  all directors as remuneration for their services. 
However,  under  the  ASX  listing  rules,  the  aggregate  non-executive  directors'  remuneration  (ie  excluding  the  Managing 
Director and executive directors, if any) for a financial year must not exceed the amount fixed by the Company in general 
meeting. This amount has been fixed at $750,000 per annum. Any changes to the aggregate remuneration will be put to a 
general meeting where the shareholders will be asked to approve a maximum annual aggregate remuneration. 

The annual base non-executive director fees paid by the Company are $90,000 per annum for the chairman and $70,000 
per annum for other non-executive Directors. From 1 July 2018, an additional fee of $10,000 per annum will be paid to the 
chairman  of  each  Board  committee.  Directors  may  also  be  reimbursed  for  all  travelling  and  other  expenses  incurred  in 
connection with their Company duties. 

As  disclosed  in  the  Prospectus,  one  of  the  non-executive  directors  received  options  pursuant  to  NTAW’s  former  share 
option  plan,  which  vested  and  were  exercised  prior  to  completion  of  the  IPO,  resulting  in  shares  being  issued  on  14 
December 2017. Further details of the options granted are contained on page 18, and the shares issued are included in the 
relevant disclosures on page 19. 

Executive remuneration 
The  Group  aims  to  reward  executives  based  on  their  position  and  responsibilities,  with  a  level  and  mix  of  remuneration 
which has both fixed and variable components. 

The executive remuneration and reward framework has four main components: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 fixed remuneration, comprising base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits; 
 short-term performance incentives (STIs); 
 long-term performance incentives (LTIs), including share-based payments; and 
 other remuneration such as long service leave. 

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration. 

Fixed  remuneration,  consisting  of  base  salary,  superannuation  and  non-monetary  benefits,  is  reviewed  annually  by  the 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  for  the  Managing  Director  and  senior  executives,  based  on  individual  and 
business  unit  responsibilities  and  performance,  the  overall  performance  of  the  Group  and  comparable  market 
remuneration. 

Executives  may  receive  their  fixed  remuneration  in  the  form  of  cash  or  other  fringe  benefits  (for  example  motor  vehicle 
benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive. 

The STI program is designed to align the annual targets of the business units with the performance hurdles of executives. 
STI  payments  are  granted  to  executives  based  on  financial  and  non-financial  key  performance  indicators  ('KPI's')  being 
achieved. KPI's may include profit contribution, customer satisfaction, leadership contribution and product management. 

The  LTI  program  includes  share-based  payments.  The  objective  of  the  LTI  program  is  to  align  the  interests  of  key 
management personnel to those of the company and its shareholders. 

On listing, the Board adopted the executive remuneration framework and the executives’ service contracts as outlined in 
the Prospectus and disclosed on pages 17 to 18 of this report. 

STIs  paid  during  the  financial  year  were  in  the  nature  of  cash  bonuses,  determined  by  the  Board,  having  regard  to  the 
Company’s strategy and ability to achieve the pro-forma net profit targets contained in the Prospectus. 

In relation to LTIs, prior to the IPO, options that were issued by NTAW to management pursuant to NTAW’s former share 
option  plan,  vested  and  were  exercised,  resulting  in  shares  being  issued  to  employees  on  14  December  2017.  Peter 
Ludemann and Jason Lamb were two of the recipients of these options and shares. Further details of the options granted 
are contained on  page 18, and the shares issued are included  in the relevant  disclosures on page 19. The share based 
payments expense included in the results for the financial year relates solely to this pre-IPO arrangement. 

No further LTIs were issued for the financial year. 

Remuneration review 
During  the  financial  year,  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  undertook  a  review  of  the  Group’s  executive 
remuneration framework (‘Remuneration Review’). The Group engaged Egan and Associates (remuneration consultants), 
to review its existing STI and LTI policies and provide recommendations on how to improve these.

Directors' report 
30 June 2018 

Fees paid to Egan and Associates during the financial year in relation to this work amounted to $15,750. 

Following this review, the Board intends to adopt a new executive remuneration framework, including new STI and LTI 
programs with effect from and including the financial year ending 30 June 2019. The new framework is expected to include 
the following components:  

● 

● 

● 

 Fixed remuneration – will continue to comprise base salary, superannuation contributions and other benefits, having 
regard to comparable market benchmarks; 
 STI  program  –  will  be  an  ‘at  risk’  component  of  remuneration  where,  if  individual,  business  unit  and  Group 
performance measures are met, senior executives will be awarded cash bonuses equal to a percentage of their fixed 
remuneration.  Performance measures will include a financial gateway hurdle and non-financial KPIs.  The percentage 
of  fixed  remuneration  received  as  an  STI  will  be  capped,  but  may  vary,  depending  on  the  level  of  performance 
achieved. 
 LTI program – will be an ‘at risk’ component of remuneration where senior executives are awarded options which are 
subject to an earnings per share (EPS) performance condition and a service condition.  The number of options to be 
awarded  will  be  determined  by  the  Board  having  regard  to  the  overall  amount  of  executive  remuneration  and  the 
annual profit impact of the options awarded. 

The  Board  believes  that  this  remuneration  framework  will  ensure  that  remuneration  outcomes  link  to  Company 
performance and the long-term interests of Shareholders. 

Details of these plans are still being finalised, with completion expected in September 2018. 

Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP)  
Options may be granted under the existing ESOP which was adopted on 6 November 2017. The details of the ESOP are 
summarised as follows: 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 Options  may  be  granted  under  the  ESOP  to  any  person  who  is,  or  is  proposed  to  be,  a  full-time  or  part-time 
employee, a non-executive director, a contractor (40% full-time equivalent ('FTE')) or a casual employee (40% FTE) of 
the Company or any of its associated bodies corporate, and whom the Board determines to be an eligible person for 
the purposes of participation in the ESOP (referred to as an 'Eligible Person'). 

 An  option  may  not  be  granted  under  the  ESOP  if,  immediately  following  its  grant,  the  shares  to  be  received  on 
exercise of the option,  when aggregated  with the number of shares which  would be issued  if each  unvested option 
granted under the ESOP or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company were to vest and be exercised and 
the number of shares issued in the previous three years under the ESOP or any other employee incentive scheme of 
the Company, exceeds 5% of the total number of issued shares at the time of grant (or any varied limit if permitted 
under  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  ASX  Listing  Rules  and  ASIC  instruments).  Certain  offers  of  options  may  be 
excluded from the calculation as permitted under Class Order 14/1000, including excluded offers under section 708 of 
the Corporations Act 2001 and offers under a disclosure document. 

 Each option entitles the participant to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company. 

 The  specific  terms  relevant  to  the  grant  of  options  are  set  out  in  an  offer  from  the  Company  to  the  Eligible  Person 
which contains details of the application price (if any) (which must not be for more than nominal consideration), the 
expiry  date,  the  exercise  price,  the  vesting  date,  any  applicable  performance  conditions  and  other  specific  terms 
relevant to those options. 

 Unless otherwise specified in the offer of an option, if a “Change of Control Event” occurs before the vesting date of 
an  option,  that  option  immediately  vests  and  ceases  to  be  subject  to  any  performance  condition  to  which  it  was 
subject. A Change of Control Event means the occurrence of one or more of the following events: 
 -  a person who has offered to acquire all shares in the Company acquires Control (as defined in section 50AA of the 

Corporations Act 2001) of the Company; 

 -  any other event occurs which causes a change in Control of the Company; 
 -  unless the Board determines otherwise, a takeover bid is recommended by the Board or a scheme of arrangement 

which would have a similar effect to a full takeover bid is announced by the Company; and 

 -  any other event which the Board reasonably considers should be regarded as a Change of Control Event.

● 

 Options may only be transferred: 
 - to a legal personal representative on the death of the participant or to the participant’s trustee in bankruptcy on the 

bankruptcy of the participant; or 

 -  pursuant  to  an  off-market  takeover  bid,  in  various  compulsory  acquisition  scenarios  under  Chapter  6A  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001, under a creditor’s scheme of arrangement under section 411 of the Corporations Act 2001 
or if approved by the Board. 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

● 

 An option does not confer any rights to participate in a new issue of shares by the Company. 

 If  the  Company  conducts  a  rights  issue,  the  exercise  price  of  options  will  be  adjusted  in  accordance  with  the 
adjustment formula for pro rata issues set out in the Listing Rules. 

 If  the  Company  makes  a  bonus  issue  of  securities  to  holders  of  shares,  the  rights  of  a  holder  in  respect  of  an 
unexercised option will be modified such that the participant will receive, upon exercise of an option, one share plus 
such  additional  securities  which  the  participant  would  have  received  had  the  participant  exercised  the  option 
immediately before the record date for that bonus issue and participated in the bonus issue as the holder of the share. 

 If  the  Company’s  issued  capital  is  reorganised  (including  consolidation,  subdivision,  reduction,  or  return),  then  the 
number of options, the exercise price or both or any other terms will be reorganised in a manner determined by the 
Board which complies with the listing rules. 

 Any shares issued under the ESOP rank equally in all respects with the shares of the same class on issue, subject to 
the restrictions on the transfer of shares. 

 Shares  issued  on  exercise  of  options  are  not  transferable  for  the  period  (if  any)  specified  in  the  offer  from  the 
Company to the Eligible Person. 

 An unvested option lapses upon the first to occur of the following: 
 - its expiry date; 
 - any applicable performance condition not being satisfied prior to the end of any prescribed performance period; 
 - a transfer or purported transfer of the option in breach of the rules; 
 - 30 days following the day the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company or an associated body 
corporate  by  resigning  voluntarily  and  not  recommencing  employment  with  the  Company  or  an  associated  body 
corporate before the expiration of that 30 days; 

 - 30 days following the day the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company or an associated body 
corporate by reason of his or her death, disability, bona fide redundancy, or any other reason with the approval of 
the  Board  and  the  participant  has  not  recommenced  employment  with  the  Company  or  an  associated  body 
corporate  before  the  expiration  of  those  30  days,  however  the  Board  has  a  discretion  to  deem  all  or  any  of  the 
options to have vested; or 

 - termination of the participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an associated body corporate on 
the basis the  participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the participant’s obligations or otherwise for 
cause. 

 A vested but unexercised option lapses upon the first to occur of the following: 
 - its expiry date; 
 - a transfer or purported transfer of the option in breach of the rules; or 
 - termination of the participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an associated body corporate on 
the basis the  participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the participant’s obligations or otherwise for 
cause. 

 Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the law, the Board may at any time by resolution amend or add to the rules of 
the  ESOP.  However,  the  consent  of  a  participant  is  required  for  any  change  to  the  rules  or  option  terms  which 
prejudicially affects the rights of the participant in relation to the option (except for certain changes, including changes 
to benefit the administration of the Plan or to comply with laws, ASX Listing Rules or regulations).

Indemnity and insurance of officers 
The  Company  has  indemnified  the  directors  and  executives  of  the  Company  for  costs  incurred,  in  their  capacity  as  a 
director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack of good faith. 

During the financial  year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and executives of 
the Company against a liability to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits 
disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium. 

Indemnity and insurance of auditor 
The Company has not, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the 
Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. 

During  the  financial  year,  the  Company  has  not  paid  a  premium  in  respect  of  a  contract  to  insure  the  auditor  of  the 
Company or any related entity. 

Proceedings on behalf of the Company 
No  person  has  applied  to  the  Court  under  section  237  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  leave  to  bring  proceedings  on 
behalf  of  the  Company,  or  to  intervene  in  any  proceedings  to  which  the  Company  is  a  party  for  the  purpose  of  taking 
responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. 

Non-audit services 
Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor 
are outlined in note 27 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another 
person or firm on the auditor's behalf), is compatible  with the general standard  of independence for auditors imposed by 
the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 27 to the financial statements do not compromise the 
external auditor's independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 
● 

 all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity 
of the auditor; and 
 none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code 
of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including 
reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, 
acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

Notes to the financial statements
National Tyre & Wheel Limited and its controlled entities 
30 June 2018
Notes to the financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 1. General information 

The  financial  statements  cover  National  Tyre  & Wheel  Limited  as  a  Group  consisting  of  National  Tyre  &  Wheel  Limited 
('Company'  or  'parent  entity')  and  the  entities  it  controlled  at  the  end  of,  or  during,  the  year  ('Group'  or  "NTAW').  The 
financial  statements  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars,  which  is  National  Tyre  &  Wheel  Limited's  functional  and 
presentation currency. 

National  Tyre  & Wheel  Limited  is  a  listed  public  company  limited  by  shares,  incorporated  and  domiciled  in  Australia.  Its 
registered office and principal place of business is: 

30 Gow Street 
Moorooka QLD 4105 

A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is 
not part of the financial statements. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 29 August 2018. The 
directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted 
The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  or  amended  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  that  are  mandatory  for  the  current  reporting  period.  The  adoption  of  these 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations did  not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position  of 
the Group. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. 

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('AASB')  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  as 
appropriate  for  for-profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting 
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the 
revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a 
higher  degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where  assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the  financial 
statements, are disclosed in note 3. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  Group  only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 32. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  National  Tyre  &  Wheel 
Limited as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. 

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  Group  has  control.  The  Group  controls  an  entity  when  the  Group  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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  Group  are  eliminated. 
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. 
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted 
by the Group. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, 
without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the  consideration 
transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss and 
other  comprehensive  income,  statement  of  financial  position  and  statement  of  changes  in  equity  of  the  Group.  Losses 
incurred by the Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. 

Where  the  Group  loses  control  over  a  subsidiary,  it  derecognises  the  assets  including  goodwill,  liabilities  and  non-
controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group 
recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain 
or loss in profit or loss. 

Operating segments 
Operating  segments  are  presented  using  the  'management  approach',  where  the  information  presented  is  on  the  same 
basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the 
allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. 

Foreign currency translation 

Foreign currency transactions 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation  at  financial  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Foreign operations 
The  assets  and  liabilities  of  foreign  operations  are  translated  into  Australian  dollars  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the 
reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average 
exchange rates, which approximate the rates at the dates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange 
differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. 

The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. 

Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably 
measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

Sale of goods 
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the 
risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net of sales returns and trade discounts. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the 
amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest 
rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset 
to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Income tax 
The  income  tax  expense  or  benefit  for  the  period  is  the  tax  payable  on  that  period's  taxable  income  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 
the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are  settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  that  are  enacted  or  substantively  enacted, 
except for: 
● 

 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting 
nor taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 
the  timing  of  the  reversal  can  be  controlled  and  it  is  probable  that  the  temporary  difference  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

● 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only  if it is probable that 
future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying  amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred 
tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for 
the carrying amount to be  recovered.  Previously  unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the  extent that it is 
probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  only  where  there  is  a  legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets 
against  current  tax  liabilities  and  deferred  tax  assets  against  deferred  tax  liabilities;  and  they  relate  to  the  same  taxable 
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

National Tyre & Wheel Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries (Exclusive Tyre Distributors 
Pty Ltd, MPC Mags & Tyres Pty Ltd, Dynamic Wheel Co Pty Limited and Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd), have formed 
an  income  tax  consolidated  group  under  the  tax  consolidation  regime.  The  head  entity  and  subsidiary  in  the  tax 
consolidated  group continue to account for their own  current and  deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated  group has 
applied  the  'separate  taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in  determining  the  appropriate  amount  of  taxes  to  allocate  to 
members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) 
and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax 
consolidated group. 

Assets  or  liabilities  arising  under  tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as  amounts 
receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the 
intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a 
contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An  asset  is  classified  as  current  when:  it  is  either  expected  to  be  realised  or  intended  to  be  sold  or  consumed  in  the 
Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months 
after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle 
a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held 
primarily  for  the  purpose  of  trading;  it  is  due  to  be  settled  within  12  months  after  the  reporting  period;  or  there  is  no 
unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities 
are classified as non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly 
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and 
which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective 
interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written 
off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly.  A  provision  for  impairment  of  trade  receivables  is  raised  when  there  is 
objective  evidence  that  the  Group  will  not  be  able  to  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  original  terms  of  the 
receivables.  Significant  financial  difficulties  of  the  debtor,  probability  that  the  debtor  will  enter  bankruptcy  or  financial 
reorganisation  and  default  or  delinquency  in  payments  (more  than  60  days  overdue)  are  considered  indicators  that  the 
trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying 
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows 
relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. 

Inventories 
Finished  goods  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realisable  value  on  a  'first  in  first  out'  basis.  Cost  comprises  of 
purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion 
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Derivative financial instruments 
Derivatives  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  on  the  date  a  derivative  contract  is  entered  into  and  are  subsequently 
remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each  reporting  date.  The  accounting  for  subsequent  changes  in  fair  value  depends  on 
whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. 

The  Group  has  not  satisfied  the  documentation,  designation  and  effectiveness  tests  required  by  Australian  Accounting 
Standards,  as  such  they  do  not  qualify  for  hedge  accounting  and  gains  or  losses  arising  from  changes  in  fair  value  are 
recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation. 

Investments and other financial assets 
Investments  and  other  financial  assets  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  are  included  as  part  of  the 
initial  measurement,  except  for  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  They  are  subsequently  measured  at 
either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of 
the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted. 

Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when  the  rights  to  receive  cash  flows  from  the  financial  assets  have  expired  or  have 
been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. 

Loans and receivables 
Loans  and receivables  are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are  not quoted  in  an 
active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised 
in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or 
group  of  financial  assets  is  impaired.  Objective  evidence  includes  significant  financial  difficulty  of  the  issuer  or  obligor;  a 
breach  of  contract  such  as  default  or  delinquency  in  payments;  the  lender  granting  to  a  borrower  concessions  due  to 
economic  or  legal  reasons  that  the  lender  would  not  otherwise  do;  it  becomes  probable  that  the  borrower  will  enter 
bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial asset; or observable 
data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between the 
asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest 
rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been recognised 
had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes 
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation  is  calculated  on  a  diminishing  value  basis  to  write  off  the  net  cost  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Motor vehicles 

 2.5% to 15% 
 5% to 60% 
 13.5% to 25% 

The  residual  values,  useful  lives  and  depreciation  methods  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  reporting 
date. 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, 
whichever is shorter. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the 
Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 

Leases 
The determination  of whether an arrangement is  or contains a lease  is based  on the substance of the  arrangement and 
requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets 
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the 
risks  and  benefits  incidental  to  the  ownership  of  leased  assets,  and  operating  leases,  under  which  the  lessor  effectively 
retains substantially all such risks and benefits. 

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, 
the  present  value  of  minimum  lease  payments.  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  the  principal  component  of  the 
lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's 
useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease 
term. 

Operating lease payments, net of any  incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on  a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value 
at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible 
assets  are  not  amortised  and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortisation  and  any  impairment.  The  gains  or  losses  recognised  in  profit  or  loss 
arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. 
Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation 
method or period.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  arises  on  the  acquisition  of  a  business.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at 
cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses.  Impairment  losses  on  goodwill  are  taken  to  profit  or  loss  and  are  not 
subsequently reversed. 

Brand name 
Brand names are assessed as having an indefinite useful life on the basis of brand strength, ongoing expected profitability 
and continuing support. Brand names are not amortised, but are instead tested for impairment annually, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 

Customer relationships 
Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite useful life of 7 years. 

Importation rights 
Importation rights are amortised on a straight line basis over the term of the distribution agreement. Importation rights are 
tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested 
annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired. 
Other  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying 
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to 
form a cash-generating unit. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and 
which  are  unpaid.  Due  to  their  short-term  nature  they  are  measured  at  amortised  cost  and  are  not  discounted.  The 
amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 
are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in 
the period in which they are incurred. 

Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is 
probable  the  Group  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the  amount  of  the 
obligation. The amount recognised  as a  provision  is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the  present 
obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value 
of  money  is  material,  provisions  are  discounted  using  a  current  pre-tax  rate  specific  to  the  liability.  The  increase  in  the 
provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  long  service  leave  expected  to  be 
settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled.

30 June 2018 

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date 
are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees 
up  to  the  reporting  date.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on 
high-quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future 
cash outflows. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. 

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for 
the rendering of services. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  measured  at  fair  value  on  grant  date.  Fair  value  is  independently  determined 
using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the 
option,  the  impact  of  dilution,  the  share  price  at  grant  date  and  expected  price  volatility  of  the  underlying  share,  the 
expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do 
not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken 
of any other vesting conditions. 

The  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  are  recognised  as  an  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  over  the 
vesting  period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair  value of the award, the 
best  estimate  of  the  number  of  awards  that  are  likely  to  vest  and  the  expired  portion  of  the  vesting  period.  The  amount 
recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already 
recognised in previous periods. 

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions 
are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are 
satisfied. 

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. 
An  additional  expense  is  recognised,  over  the  remaining  vesting  period,  for  any  modification  that  increases  the  total  fair 
value of the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a 
cancellation.  If  the  condition  is  not  within  the  control  of  the  Group  or  employee  and  is  not  satisfied  during  the  vesting 
period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 

If  equity-settled  awards  are  cancelled,  it  is  treated  as  if  it  has  vested  on  the  date  of  cancellation,  and  any  remaining 
expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and 
new award is treated as if they were a modification. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability,  financial or non-financial,  is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure  purposes, the 
fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date;  and  assumes  that  the  transaction  will  take  place  either:  in  the 
principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair  value  is  measured  using  the  assumptions  that  market  participants  would  use  when  pricing  the  asset  or  liability, 
assuming they  act  in their  economic best  interests. For non-financial assets,  the fair  value measurement is based  on  its 
highest  and  best  use.  Valuation  techniques  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are 
available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used,  maximising  the  use  of  relevant  observable  inputs  and  minimising  the  use  of 
unobservable inputs.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  are  classified,  into  three  levels,  using  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  reflects  the 
significance  of  the  inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair 
value measurement. 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either 
not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge 
and  reputation.  Where  there  is  a  significant  change  in  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an 
analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, 
where applicable, with external sources of data. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company. 

Business combinations 
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments 
issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value 
or  at  the  proportionate  share  of  the  acquiree's  identifiable  net  assets.  All  acquisition  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred  to 
profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate 
classification  and  designation  in  accordance  with  the  contractual  terms,  economic  conditions,  the  Group's  operating  or 
accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the  Group  remeasures  its  previously  held  equity  interest  in  the 
acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and  the difference between  the fair value  and the previous carrying amount  is 
recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent  consideration  to  be  transferred  by  the  acquirer  is  recognised  at  the  acquisition-date  fair  value.  Subsequent 
changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss. 
Contingent  consideration  classified  as  equity  is  not  remeasured  and  its  subsequent  settlement  is  accounted  for  within 
equity. 

The  difference  between  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  assets  acquired,  liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment 
in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair 
value  of the identifiable  net assets acquired, being a  bargain purchase to the acquirer, the  difference is recognised as a 
gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and 
measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred 
and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  acquirer  retrospectively  adjusts  the 
provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based 
on  new  information  obtained  about  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  existed  at  the  acquisition-date.  The  measurement 
period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the 
information possible to determine fair value.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the  owners of National Tyre  &  Wheel Limited, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the 
weighted  average  number  of  shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no  consideration  in  relation  to  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  tax  authority  is  included  in  other  receivables  or  other  payables  in  the  statement  of 
financial position. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  Company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Corporations  Instrument  2016/191,  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments Commission, relating to 'rounding-off'. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that 
Corporations Instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2018. The Group's 
assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, 
are set out below. 

Accounting Standard 

 Nature of change 

 Impact on the financial statements 

AASB 9 'Financial 
Instruments' (effective 
for the accounting 
period starting 1 July 
2018) 

 AASB 9 introduces various new concepts 
including: 
• Amended rules for hedge accounting; 
• Changes to the categorisation and 
measurement of financial assets particularly 
affecting those measured as available for sale 
('AFS') or held to maturity ('HTM'); 
• New methods of calculating impairment losses 
of financial assets; and 
• A change to the rules surrounding the 
modification of financial liabilities measured at 
amortised cost. 

 These changes are not expected to have a 
material impact since the Group: 
• Does not hedge account; 
• Has no financial assets measured as AFS or 
HTM; 
• Does not have significant financial assets to 
impair and only have insignificant provisions for 
doubtful debts; and 
• Does not intend to modify existing financial 
liabilities.

Accounting Standard 

 Nature of change 

 Impact on the financial statements 

AASB 15 'Revenue 
from Contracts with 
Customers' (effective 
for the accounting 
period starting 1 July 
2018) 

 AASB 15 is based on the principle that revenue 
is recognised when control of a good or service 
transfers to a customer. This new standard 
requires a five step analysis of transactions to 
determine whether, how much and the point at 
which revenue is recognised. It applies to all 
contracts with customers except leases, 
financial instruments and insurance contracts. 

 AASB 15 is not expected to have a material 
impact on the Group since revenue principally 
comprises sale of goods revenue which will 
continue to be recognised at point of sale of the 
goods. 

AASB 16 'Leases' 
(effective for the 
accounting period 
starting 1 July 2019) 

 AASB 16 requires recognition of a right-of-use 
asset along with the associated lease liability 
where the entity is a lessee. An interest expense 
will be recognised in the profit or loss using the 
effective interest rate method, and the right-of 
use asset will be depreciated. Lessor accounting 
will largely remain unchanged. 

 AASB 16 is not expected to have a material 
impact since the Group are not lessees. The 
Group are significant lessors, however, there is 
little change to lessor accounting under AASB 
16. 
If AASB 16 were adopted from 1 July 2019 
based on the leases in effect at 30 June 2018, 
this would have a material impact on the 
transactions and balances recognised in the 
financial statements, specifically: 
• Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the 
balance sheet would increase on 1 July 2018 by 
approximately $7.6m and $8.2m, respectively; 
• Retained earnings would be reduced on 1 July 
2018 by approximately $0.6m because the 
carrying value of the assets reduce more quickly 
than the carrying amount of the lease liabilities; 
and 
• Total expenses for FY19 would be 
approximately $0.1 million less, as amortisation 
and interest expense would increase by 
approximately $2.5m but rent expense would 
decrease by approximately $2.6m. 

We do not intend to adopt AASB 16 before its 
effective date. 

AASB  9,  AASB  15  and  AASB  16  will  each  introduce  expanded  disclosure  requirements  and  changes  in  presentation. 
These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Group’s disclosure about its financial instruments, revenue and 
leases respectively, particularly in the year the new standard is adopted. 

IASB revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 
The  revised  Conceptual  Framework  has  been  issued  by  the  International  Accounting  Standards  Board  ('IASB'),  but  the 
Australian equivalent has yet to be published. The revised framework is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning 
on  or  after  1  January  2020  and  the  application  of  the  new  definition  and  recognition  criteria  may  result  in  future 
amendments to several accounting standards. Furthermore, entities who rely on the conceptual framework in determining 
their accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions that are not otherwise dealt with under Australian Accounting 
Standards may need to revisit such policies. The Group will apply the revised conceptual framework from 1 July 2020 and 
is yet to assess its impact.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that 
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in 
relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  Management  bases  its  judgements,  estimates 
and  assumptions  on  historical  experience  and  on  other  various  factors,  including  expectations  of  future  events, 
management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will 
seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing 
a  material  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  (refer  to  the  respective  notes)  within  the  next 
financial year are discussed below. 

Business combinations 
As discussed in note 2, business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The fair value of assets 
acquired,  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  are  initially  estimated  by  the  Group  taking  into  consideration  all 
available  information  at  the  reporting  date.  Fair  value  adjustments  on  the  finalisation  of  the  business  combination 
accounting  is  retrospective,  where  applicable,  to  the  period  the  combination  occurred  and  may  have  an  impact  on  the 
assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported. 

Recognition of identifiable intangible assets on acquisition 
Brand names, importation rights and customer relationships have been recognised on the acquisition of subsidiaries. The 
valuation of these assets is based on the present value of expected future cash flows associated with the brand and the 
recurring  current  customers  covering  a  period  of  5-10  years.  These  cashflows  have  been  calculated  using  an  average 
growth rates of between 3-6.3% and a discount rate of between 17-20%. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in 
note  2.  The  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been  determined  based  on  value-in-use  calculations. 
These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital 
and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The  Group  assesses  impairment  of  non-financial  assets  other  than  goodwill  and  other  indefinite  life  intangible  assets  at 
each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. 
If  an  impairment  trigger  exists,  the  recoverable  amount  of  the  asset  is  determined.  This  involves  fair  value  less  costs  of 
disposal or value-in-use calculations, which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The  Group  measures  the  cost  of  equity-settled  transactions  with  employees  by  reference  to  the  fair  value  of  the  equity 
instruments  at  the  date  at  which  they  are  granted. The  fair  value  is  determined  by  using  the  Binomial model  taking  into 
account the terms and conditions upon  which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions 
relating  to  equity-settled  share-based  payments  would  have  no  impact  on  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Share-based  payments  expense  under  the  employee  share  option  plan  has  been  recognised  over  the  expected  vesting 
period of the options. The  share-based  payment expense incurred is equal to the value of the  options and management 
have  assessed  the  fair  value  of  the  options  using  a  Binominal  model  with  the  following  key  criteria:  pre-determined 
exercise  price,  share  price  at  grant  date  based  on  estimated  enterprise  value  of  the  company,  risk-free  rate  of  1.5%, 
volatility of share price of 60% and assumed vesting period from grant date. 

Income tax 
The  Group  is  subject  to  income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement  is  required  in 
determining  the  provision  for  income  tax.  There  are  many  transactions  and  calculations  undertaken  during  the  ordinary 
course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax 
audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is 
different  from  the  carrying  amounts,  such  differences  will  impact  the  current  and  deferred  tax  provisions  in  the  period  in 
which such determination is made.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Warranty provision 
In  determining  the  level  of  provision  required  for warranties  the  Group  has  made  judgements  in  respect  of  the  expected 
performance of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the 
costs  of fulfilling  the  conditions  of  the  warranty.  The  provision  is  based  on  estimates made  from  historical  warranty  data 
associated with similar products. 

Note 4. Operating segments 

Identification of reportable operating segments 
The Group's operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors 
(who  are  identified  as  the  Chief  Operating  Decision  Makers  ('CODM'))  in  assessing  performance  and  in  determining  the 
allocation of resources. 

The Directors are of the opinion that there is one reportable segment in the Group as the CODM reviews results, assesses 
performance and allocates resources at a Group level. 

As  the  information  reported  to  the  CODM  is  the  consolidated  results  of  the  Group,  the  segment  results  are  shown 
throughout these financial statements and are not duplicated here. 

Major customers 
During the year ended 30 June 2018, none of the Group's external revenue was derived from sales of greater than 10% to 
any customer.

The  recoverable  amount  of  assets  including  goodwill  and  brand  name  assets  is  determined  based  on  value  in  use 
calculations at the individual CGU level at 30 June 2018. The value in use assessment is conducted using a discount cash 
flow  (DCF)  methodology  derived  from  managements  forecast  for  FY19.  This  has  been  based  on  management  and 
Directors past experience, current performance and market conditions to estimate the future cashflows that are expected to 
arise at the CGU level.

Note 14. Non-current assets - intangibles (continued) 

The  DCF  model  adopted  by  the  directors  was  based  on  the  FY19  approved  budget.  The  key  assumptions  used  in  the 
testing for impairment are: 
● 
● 
● 

 Post tax discount rate 14%; 
 Terminal value of 6 times multiple; and 
 Budgeted EBITDA growth rate of 4% per annum. 

No reasonable change in any if the key assumptions would result in an impairment. 

The Directors’ assessment of 2018 goodwill and brand names were that they are not impaired.

Note 22. Equity - issued capital (continued) 

Capital risk management 
The  Group's  objectives  when  managing  capital  is  to  safeguard  its  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern,  so  that  it  can 
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce 
the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated 
as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to  shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding 
relative  to  the  current  Company's  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  Group  is  actively  pursuing  additional 
investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

Foreign currency reserve 
The  reserve  is  used  to  recognise  exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  the  financial  statements  of  foreign 
operations to Australian dollars. It is also used to recognise gains and losses on hedges of the net investments in foreign 
operations. 

Share-based payments reserve 
The share-based payments reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to employees and directors 
as part of their remuneration. Share-based payment reserves have been transferred to share capital upon exercising. 

Other reserves 
The  other  reserve  is  used  to  record  transactions  with  owners  in  their  capacity  as  owners  and  transfers  to  the  non-
controlling  interest.  These  have  been  transferred  to  retained  earnings  following  the  100%  acquisition  of  Dynamic Wheel 
Co. Pty Ltd during the year. 

Note 24. Equity - dividends 

Dividends 
Dividends paid during the financial year were as follows: 

Final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2017 (declared and paid prior to the IPO)

Note 24. Equity - dividends (continued) 

At the date of signing these financial statements, the Company has declared a fully franked final dividend of 2.3 cents per 
share with a record date of 13 September 2018 and a payment date of 8 October 2018. The total dividend payable is $2.35 
million. The financial effect of this dividend has not been brought to account in the financial statements for the year ended 
30 June 2018 and will be recognised in subsequent financial reports.

Note 25. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The  Group's  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (including  foreign  currency  risk,  price  risk  and 
interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The  Group's  overall  risk  management  program  focuses  on  the 
unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the 
Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk 
exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The 
Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors 
('the  Board').  These  policies  include  identification  and  analysis  of  the  risk  exposure  of  the  Group  and  appropriate 
procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating 
units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Market risk 

Foreign currency risk 
The  Group  undertakes  certain  transactions  denominated  in  foreign  currency  and  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  risk 
through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. 

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial  transactions and recognised financial assets and financial  liabilities 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and 
cash flow forecasting. 

In  order  to  protect  against  exchange  rate  movements,  the  Group  has  entered  into  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts. 
These  contracts  are  hedging  highly  probable  forecasted  cash  flows  for  the  ensuing  financial  year.  Most  of  the  Group’s 
transactions are carried out in $AUD. Exposures to currency exchange rates arise from the Group’s overseas purchases, 
which are primarily denominated in $US-Dollars ($USD). To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-
$AUD  cash  flows  are  monitored,  and  forward  exchange  contracts  are  entered  into  in  accordance  with  the  Group’s  risk 
management  policies.  The  usual  length  of  forward  contracts  entered  into  are  short  term  and  cover  known  $USD 
exposures. Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are expected to largely offset one another, 
no further hedging activity is undertaken. 

At 30 June 2018, the Group had forward foreign exchange contracts to acquire $15,355,000 of USD (2017: $16,725,000). 
These  are  due  to  mature  within  3  months  of  balance  date.  The  fixed  exchange  rates  on  these  contracts  ranged  from 
0.7335 to 0.8046 (2017: 0.7190 to 0.7664). 

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in AUD, was as follows:

(1,801) 

The  percentage  change  is  the  expected  overall  volatility  of  the  significant  currencies,  which  is  based  on  management's 
assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations. The actual foreign exchange loss for the year ended 30 June 2018 was 
$657,000 (2017: loss of $160,000). 

Price risk 
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The  Group's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  long-term  borrowings.  Borrowings  obtained  at  variable  rates  expose  the 
Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. 

As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate borrowings outstanding:

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities in shown in 'liquidity and interest rate risk management' below. 

For  the  Group  the  bank  loans  outstanding,  totalling  $14,021,000  (2017:  $7,180,000),  are  principal  and  interest  payment 
loans. An official increase/decrease in interest rates of 50 (2017: 50) basis points would have an adverse/favourable effect 
on profit before tax of $70,000 (2017: $39,000) per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of 
interest  rates  using  market  data  and  analysts  forecasts.  In  addition,  minimum  principal  repayments  of  $1,436,000 
(2017:$1,200,000) are due during the subsequent 12 month period.

Note 25. Financial instruments (continued) 

Credit risk 
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the 
Group.  The  Group  has  a  strict  code  of  credit,  including  obtaining  agency  credit  information,  confirming  references  and 
setting  appropriate  credit  limits.  The  Group  obtains  guarantees  where  appropriate  to  mitigate  credit  risk.  The  maximum 
exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for 
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The 
Group does not hold any collateral. 

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant  liquidity  risk  management  requires  the  Group  to  maintain  sufficient  liquid  assets  (mainly  cash  and  cash 
equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously 
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

There were no transfers between levels during the financial year. 

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair 
values due to their short-term nature. 

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market 
interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.

Note 33. Business combinations 

2018 

Top Draw Tyres Proprietary Limited ('Top Draw Tyres') 
On 30 September 2017, the Group acquired 34% of the ordinary shares in Top Draw Tyres, the importer and distributor of 
tyres in South Africa. The Group subsequently acquired a further 16% on 13 December 2017. The Group now owns 50% 
of  Top  Draw  Tyres  and  the  remaining  shares  are  held  by  the  Top  Draw  Tyres  vendors.  Total  consideration  for  the 
acquisition was $4,006,000 in cash. The acquired business has contributed revenue of $8,260,000 and profit before tax of 
$735,000 to the Group from the date of acquisition to 30 June 2018. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2017, the full year 
contributions would have been revenues of $17,060,000 and profit before tax of $1,190,000. NTAW recognised $133,000 
as previously equity accounted profits for the period up until control was obtained. 

S.N Tyre Wholesaler Pty Ltd ('Cotton') 
On 31 October 2017, the Group acquired 100% of the business assets from Cotton, a distributor of tyres in South Australia 
and Northern Territory. Total consideration for the acquisition was $6,220,000, including $3,732,000 in cash consideration 
and $2,488,000 in Company shares, issued on 14 December 2017. The acquired business assets have been incorporated 
in Exclusive Tyre Distributors. The acquired business assets have contributed revenue of $5,780,000 and profit before tax 
of $920,000 to the Group from the date of acquisition to 30 June 2018. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2017, the full 
year contributions would have been revenues of $8,980,000 and profit before tax of $1,170,000. 

Statewide Tyre Distribution Pty Ltd ('Statewide') 
On  31  May  2018,  the  Group  acquired  100%  of  the  ordinary  shares  in  Statewide,  the  importer  and  distributor  of  tyres  in 
South  Australia,  New  South  Wales  and  the  Northern  Territory.  Total  consideration  for  the  acquisition  was  $8,542,000, 
including  $7,067,000  in  cash  consideration  and  $1,475,000  in  Company  shares,  issued  on  31  May  2018  and  18  June 
2018. The acquired business has contributed revenue of $1,970,000 and profit before tax of $170,000 to the Group from 
the date of acquisition to 30 June 2018. Due to Statewide not maintaining accounting records in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards prior to the acquisition, it is impracticable to disclose the impact to revenue and profit and loss of the 
Group for the 2018 financial year if the acquisition had been at 1 July 2017. 

The goodwill on the above acquisitions comprise the value of the workforce, future revenues from those customers which 
are not current and expected and future synergies to be realised as part of the Group. 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the above business combinations have been accounted for on a provisional 
basis as at year end.

2017 

M.P.C Mags and Tyres Pty Ltd 
On  31  March  2017,  the  Group  acquired  50%  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  M.P.C  Mags  and  Tyres  Pty  Ltd.  This  was 
subsequently increased to 100% with the remaining 50% acquired on 14 December 2017. 

The  goodwill  on  acquisition  comprises  the  value  of  the  workforce,  future  revenues  from  those  customers  which  are  not 
current and expected and future synergies to be realised as part of the Group. If the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2016, 
the  full  year  contributions  would  have  been  revenues  of  $12,001,000  and  profit  before  tax  of  $2,204,000.  The  purchase 
price allocation for M.P.C Mags and Tyres Pty Ltd has been finalised resulting in a decrease of goodwill of $86,000. 

Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Two employee option plans were in existence during the financial year. 

NTAW Senior Executive Option Plan ('SEOP') 
The SEOP  was used  prior to the Company’s listing  on the ASX to recognise senior executives contribution to the Group 
and to allow them to share in the growth in value of the Group. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  SEOP,  participants  are  granted  options  over  ordinary  shares  of  the  Company  which  vest  only  if 
certain events occur. 

This plan has been discontinued following the IPO. 

Employee Share Option Plan ('ESOP') 
The  Company  has  adopted  a  new  employee  share  option  plan  on  6  November  2017.  The  details  of  the  ESOP  are 
summarised as follows: 

Options may be granted under the ESOP to any person who is, or is proposed to be, a full-time or part-time employee, a 
non-executive director, a contractor (40% full-time equivalent ('FTE')) or a casual employee (40% FTE) of the Company or 
any  of  its  associated  bodies  corporate,  and  whom  the  Board  determines  to  be  an  eligible  person  for  the  purposes  of 
participation in the ESOP (referred to as an 'Eligible Person'). 

An option may not be granted under the ESOP if, immediately following its grant, the shares to be received on exercise of 
the option, when aggregated with the number of shares which would be issued if each unvested option granted under the 
ESOP or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company were to vest and be exercised and the number of shares 
issued in the previous 3 years under the ESOP or any other employee incentive scheme of the Company, exceeds 5% of 
the total number of issued shares at the time of grant (or any varied limit if permitted under the Corporations Act 2001, ASX 
Listing Rules and ASIC instruments). Certain offers of options may be excluded from calculation as permitted under Class 
Order  14/1000,  including  excluded  offers  under  section  708  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  offers  under  a  disclosure 
document. 

Each option entitles the participant to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company.

Note 39. Share-based payments (continued) 

The specific terms relevant to the grant of options are set out in an offer from the Company to the Eligible Person which 
contains details of the application price (if any) (which must not be for more than nominal consideration), the expiry date, 
the  exercise  price,  the  vesting  date,  any  applicable  performance  conditions  and  other  specific  terms  relevant  to  those 
options. 

Unless  otherwise  specified  in  the  offer  of  an  option,  if  a  “Change  of  Control  Event”  occurs  before  the  vesting  date  of  an 
option,  that  option  immediately  vests  and  ceases  to  be  subject  to  any  performance  condition  to  which  it  was  subject. A 
Change of Control Event means the occurrence of one or more of the following events: 
● 

 a person who has offered to acquire all shares in the Company acquires Control (as defined in section 50AA of the 
Corporations Act 2001) of the Company; 
 any other event occurs which causes a change in Control of the Company; 
 unless the  Board  determines otherwise, a takeover  bid is recommended by the  Board  or a scheme of arrangement 
which would have a similar effect to a full takeover bid is announced by the Company; and 
 any other event which the Board reasonably considers should be regarded as a Change of Control Event. 

● 
● 

● 

Options may only be transferred: 
● 

● 

 to a legal  personal representative on the death of the participant or to the participant’s trustee in bankruptcy  on the 
bankruptcy of the participant; or 
 pursuant  to  an  off-market  takeover  bid,  in  various  compulsory  acquisition  scenarios  under  Chapter  6A  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001, under a creditor’s scheme of arrangement under section 411 of the Corporations Act 2001 or 
if approved by the Board. 

An option does not confer any rights to participate in a new issue of shares by the Company. 

If the Company conducts a rights issue, the exercise price of options will be adjusted in accordance with the adjustment 
formula for pro rata issues set out in the Listing Rules. 

If the Company makes a bonus issue of securities to holders of shares, the rights of a holder in respect of an unexercised 
option  will  be  modified  such  that  the  participant  will  receive,  upon  exercise  of  an  option,  one  Share  plus  such  additional 
securities which the participant would have received had the participant exercised the option immediately before the record 
date for that bonus issue and participated in the bonus issue as the holder of the share. 

If the Company’s issued capital is reorganised (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction, or return), then the number 
of options, the exercise price or both or any other terms will be reorganised in a manner determined by the Board which 
complies with the Listing Rules. 

Any shares issued under the ESOP rank equally in all respects with the Shares of the same class on issue, subject to the 
restrictions on the transfer of shares. 

Shares issued on exercise of options are not transferable for the period (if any) specified in the offer from the Company to 
the Eligible Person. 

An unvested option lapses upon the first to occur of the following: 
● 
● 
● 
● 

 its expiry date; 
 any applicable performance condition not being satisfied prior to the end of any prescribed performance period; 
 a transfer or purported transfer of the option in breach of the rules; 
 30 days following the day the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company or an associated body 
corporate  by  resigning  voluntarily  and  not  recommencing  employment  with  the  Company  or  an  associated  body 
corporate before the expiration of that 30 days; 
 30 days following the day the participant ceases to be employed or engaged by the Company or an associated body 
corporate by reason of his or her death, disability, bona fide redundancy, or any other reason with the approval of the 
Board  and  the  participant  has  not  recommenced  employment  with  the  Company  or  an  associated  body  corporate 
before the expiration of those 30 days, however the Board has a discretion to deem all or any of the options to have 
vested; or 
 termination of the participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an associated body corporate on the 
basis the participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the participant’s obligations or otherwise for cause.

Note 39. Share-based payments (continued) 

A vested but unexercised option lapses upon the first to occur of the following: 
● 
● 
● 

 its expiry date; 
 a transfer or purported transfer of the option in breach of the rules; or 
 termination of the participant’s employment or engagement with the Company or an associated body corporate on the 
basis the participant acted fraudulently, dishonestly, in breach of the participant’s obligations or otherwise for cause. 

Subject to the ASX Listing Rules and the law, the Board may at any time by resolution amend or add to the rules of the 
ESOP. However,  the  consent  of  a  participant  is  required  for  any  change  to  the  rules  or  option  terms  which  prejudicially 
affects  the  rights  of  the  participant  in  relation  to  the  option  (except  for  certain  changes,  including  changes  to  benefit  the 
administration of the Plan or to comply with laws, ASX Listing Rules or regulations).
