OZGROWTH LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019OZGROWTH LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019ON BEHALF OF MY FELLOW
DIRECTORS, I AM PLEASED TO
PROVIDE THE 2019 ANNUAL
REPORT FOR THE COMPANY.
Significant results of the year include:
• A final dividend of 0.25 cents per share
has been provided for in respect of
the 2019 financial year. An interim
dividend of 0.25 cents per share was
paid in February 2019.
• The Company ended the 2019 financial
year with $21,290,340 in profit reserve.
• At 30 June 2019, net assets of the
Company were $70,912,000, or 19.9
cents per share1 .
• A net loss after tax of $5,342,998.
This compares to a net profit after tax
in the prior year of $12,095,003.
For more detailed information on the
investment performance and portfolio
of the Company, I refer you to the
Investment Manager’s Report on page 6.
The 2019 financial year was an
interesting one for equity markets with
changing expectations on the future
path of interest rates proving to be the
predominant driver of global financial
markets. Several factors had a positive
impact on the local bourse including:
a supply shock driven iron ore price
increase; a rally in the bank stocks post
the Royal Commission into Financial
Services; and, a surprise election win by
the Coalition.
The overall Australian market increased
in value by 11.0% over the period whilst
the index focused on smaller companies
lagged behind with a 1.9% gain. The Small
Resources Index experienced a tougher
year and declined 12.7%.
Our investment portfolio posted a
negative return of 9.3% over the 2019
financial year, calculated on a comparable
basis to the market indices. It is pleasing
to report the portfolio has had a positive
start to the 2020 financial year and
has generated a return of 9.6% over
July and August. Using a longer-term
timeframe our investment portfolio has
demonstrated an average return of
8.0% per annum since inception to
August 2019. As ever, the investment
strategy is focused on utilising our
experience to identify attractive
investment prospects from our base in
Western Australia.
Western Australia was negatively
impacted by restricted consumer credit
conditions in financial year 2019. Recent
economic releases suggest the worst
may be behind us and forecast capital
expenditure indicates better conditions
may lie ahead.
The financial statements in this report
demonstrate our Company’s reserves
and franking credit balance. With these
in mind Ozgrowth Limited Directors have
released a target dividend of 0.5c per
share for the 2020 financial year.
I encourage shareholders and other
interested parties to participate in our
shareholder communication program.
If you have not already done so, you can
register for our regular email updates at
our website: www.ozgrowth.com.au.
We hope to provide useful information
on our activities throughout the year and
welcome feedback to enhance this.
I look forward to reporting on results
as we move forward.
Yours sincerely
JAY HUGHES
Non-Executive Chairman
ABOUT OZGROWTH
• Ozgrowth Limited is a listed investment
company (ASX code: OZG) that
focuses on producing a positive return
on funds invested.
• It was formed on 9 July 2007 and
raised its initial capital for investment
in December 2007. As at 30 June
2019, it had $70,931,494 of assets in its
investment portfolio.
• The Company has appointed Westoz
Funds Management Pty Ltd as
manager to oversee the investment of
its portfolio of assets. This manager
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Euroz
Limited, a listed company that also
operates as a diversified financial
services company based in Western
Australia.
• The investment mandate set is to
identify undervalued companies
listed on the Australian Securities
Exchange and to invest to produce
a positive return. Because of the
geographic location of the manager,
it is anticipated that the majority
of situations identified will have a
connection to Western Australia.
• Ozgrowth Limited will consider
investments in small companies, as well
as suitable unlisted opportunities.
• The manager is paid a base fee of
1% per annum of funds managed.
In addition, a performance fee is
payable where the increase in the
portfolio value exceeds 7% over a
twelve month period to the end of
June and is calculated at 20% of the
increase exceeding the threshold. The
starting point for the calculation of the
threshold is the greater of the starting
portfolio value and the number of
shares on issue multiplied by $0.20.
1 This figure is calculated by dividing the net assets as set out in the Statement of Financial Position by the
number of ordinary shares on issue as at the reporting date and is after allowance for dividends and all costs.

PORTFOLIO RETURN
The Company invests in small to mid-
sized companies, generally listed on the
Australian Securities Exchange and with
some connection to Western Australia.
The portfolio of assets is managed to
generate a positive return regardless of
movements in the broader equity market.
To assist in an assessment of
performance, the rate of return before
fees and taxes is calculated. The figure
is calculated by dividing the gain (or
loss) in value of the portfolio, net of
external flows, by the average portfolio
value over the period of measurement.
Portfolio value is determined by reference
to current market value of underlying
investments. Monthly periods are used
and then geometrically linked to arrive
at an annual return. This figure is not
audited.
The last twelve months of investment
activity generated an investment return
of -9.3% before allowance for fees and
taxes (2018: 30.7%).
It is the objective of the manager to
produce positive investment returns
over the medium to long term, thereby
boosting the net asset backing per share
(NTA) and allowing for the payment
of dividends.
6
The figures presented for information
regarding NTA are on a per share basis
and after allowance for all realised and
unrealised costs, dividends and deferred
tax assets. These figures are included
as they provide an indication of the
underlying impact of the investment
strategy on shareholders after all costs
associated with the corporate structure.
At 30 June 2019, the net assets per share
was 19.9 cents (2018: 21.9 cents).
At 30 June 2019, a provision for payment
of 0.25 cents per share by way of
dividend was made. This dividend was
paid in August 2019.
ASSET ALLOCATION
Cash levels decreased over the 2019
financial year, closing at 5% of assets
from a starting point of 19%. Resources
exposure remains the largest allocation,
closing the year at 48% of total assets.
At year end, investments were held in
32 separate companies. One of these
holdings was unlisted at 30 June 2019.
OUTLOOK
Market volatility increased throughout
the 2019 financial year and it seems
reasonable to expect more of the same
in the short term. The first two months
of the 2020 financial year illustrate this
expectation with the local index up 3% in
July before surrendering all these gains in
August. Pleasingly, the net tangible assets
per share (before tax on unrealised gains)
of Ozgrowth Limited has increased by 1.6
cents over this period. Over the medium
to longer term our investment focus will
remain focused on “Finding the Best in
the West” and we remain confident of
continuing to produce positive returns
over the cycle.
The West Australian economy was
impacted last year by nationwide credit
tightening and the knock-on impact on
consumer confidence. Recent economic
releases on the local economy provide
some evidence that we are lifting off the
bottom. We are hopeful an increase in
private capital expenditure, particularly
in the resources industry, will see the
WA economy expand over the
forthcoming years.
We would encourage shareholders
and prospective shareholders to utilise
our shareholder communications
channels, which include: weekly emails;
monthly video updates; and, periodic
presentations.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
5. DIVIDENDS
An interim dividend of $890,031 (0.25 cents per share) was paid on 22 February 2019 (2018: $891,475).
The Board of Directors has provided for the payment of a final dividend of $889,826 (0.25 cents per share) be paid in respect of the
2019 financial year. This amount is provided in the 30 June 2019 financial statements (2018: $891,298).
6. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The financial results of the Company are driven by the gain or loss on its investment portfolio, which consists primarily of securities
listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and short term cash deposits. Whilst the investment objective for the portfolio is to
generate positive returns over the medium to long term, short term fluctuations in the broader equity market will influence results.
Apart from movements in the broader equity market, the key driver of income for the Company is the manager’s ability to
select appropriate investments. The majority of expenses are directly linked to the value of the portfolio managed and the level
of return achieved.
7.
STATE OF AFFAIRS
There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company.
8.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
There has not been any matter or circumstance that has arisen since the balance date that has affected or may significantly affect
the operations of the Company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company in subsequent periods.
9.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE RESULTS
Future results will be driven by the outcome of the Company’s investment strategy, which will in turn be influenced by the overall
direction of equity markets. These returns are uncertain and are expected to vary significantly from year to year. The key risk to
market returns will be influenced by a range of factors that cannot be predicted with any certainty and include the outlook for
growth, inflation, commodity prices, interest rates, general economic conditions, natural disasters and government regulation.
Market risk is managed by periodically moving into and out of equity positions.
Our investment strategy remains consistent and is to identify investment opportunities from our base in Western Australia.
We believe this focus will continue to deliver attractive returns.
The Western Australian economy continues to lag the national economy but we believe a pick up in private investment to a more
normalised level will provide a boost to the local economy in upcoming years. Ozgrowth Limited Directors have determined to
target a dividend payment of 0.5 cents per share in respect of the 2020 financial year. It is anticipated that the payment of this
dividend would occur in February (0.25 cents) and August (0.25 cents) of the 2020 calendar year.

The elements of emoluments have been determined on the basis of the cost to the Company. Emoluments of Directors are not
directly related to the performance of the Company. The maximum remuneration paid to Directors’ is currently set to not exceed
$250,000 per annum.
The Directors of Ozgrowth Limited during the year were Mr Jay Hughes, Mr Simon Joyner and Mr Michael Jefferies.
Westoz Funds Management Pty Ltd, a company of which Mr Hughes is a Director, provides Key Management Personnel services
to Ozgrowth Limited as it has the authority for the management of the investment portfolio of Ozgrowth Limited. Westoz Funds
Management Pty Ltd received management fees from the Company for the management of its assets. Total management fees
(inclusive of performance fees where applicable) of $777,004 (2018: $2,921,146) were charged in the period for these services. No
performance fee was paid in respect of the 2019 financial year (2018: $2,126,875). There was $65,097 (2018: $74,800) accrued for
management fees payable as at 30 June 2019.
These fees were charged in accordance with a management agreement. The management fee is calculated at 1% per annum of
funds managed. The performance fee as specified in the management agreement is payable where performance exceeds 7% over a
twelve month period to end of June and is calculated at 20% of the performance exceeding the threshold. The manager is required
to give three months written notice to terminate the agreement. The performance fee is based on the above performance condition
to be able to link the performance of the Company to the services provided by the fund manager.
No amount is paid by Ozgrowth Limited directly to the Directors of Westoz Funds Management Pty Ltd.
Euroz Securities Limited, a company of which Mr Hughes is a Director, received brokerage fees for transactions undertaken by
the Company in respect of its investments. An amount of $251,608 (2018: $359,700) was paid in the year as brokerage to Euroz
Securities Limited. Of this brokerage, $721 was outstanding as at 30 June 2019 (2018: $2,778). The above transactions were entered
into on normal commercial terms. Euroz Securities also provided Nominee and Custodial services for the Company. No fees were
paid in relation to these services in the period (2018:NIL).
The short term incentive provided by the performance fee is payable once a nominated level of profitability is achieved in a financial
year. The level of profitability is ultimately determined by the investment return on funds invested and is reflected in the earnings per
share figure. The following table shows the link between company performance and shareholder wealth over the last 5 years:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
1.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board.
For the purposes of preparing the financial statements the Company is a for-profit entity.
The financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain
investments, which have been measured at fair value.
The Company’s functional and presentation currency is the Australian dollar ($).
(b) Statement of Compliance
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the prior years except as follows.
The Company has adopted new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 July 2018.
The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of these new accounting standards are described below.
•
•
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: AASB 15 supersedes AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118
Revenue and related interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from customers.
AASB 15 establishes the five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires
that revenue be recognised at an amount that reflects the considerations to which an entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
The Company has adopted AASB 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial
application date of 1 July 2018. Under this method, the standard can be applied either to all contracts at the date
of initial application or only to contracts that are not completed at this date. The Company elected to apply the
standard to all contracts as at 1 July 2018. Comparative information was not restated and continues to be reported
under AASB 118.
The adoption of this standard did not have any financial impact as the Company does not have any material contracts
falling directly within the scope of AASB 15.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments: AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all the three aspects of the accounting for
financial instruments: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. The Company applied AASB
9 retrospectively, with an initial application date of 1 July 2018. The comparative information continues to be reported
under AASB 139.
AASB 9 introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured
at amortised cost, if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual
cash flows, which arise on specified dates and are solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). All other financial
instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) unless the entity
makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-
for trading) in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).
For financial liabilities, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity’s own credit
risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). The classification and measurement
requirements of AASB 9 had no financial impact on the Company. There was no adjustment to opening retained
earnings on transition.
-
Listed and unlisted equity instruments held for trading continue to be classified as financial assets at fair value
through profit and loss under AASB 9. (Amount on transition: $65,982,267).

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(b) Statement of Compliance (cont’d)
-
Cash balances and outstanding sale settlements previously classified as loans and receivables are held to collect
contractual cashflows and give rise to cashflows representing solely payments of principal and interest. These
are now classified and measured as debt instruments at amortised cost. These balances were assessed as
having low probability of default as they are either on demand or have relatively short maturity dates and it is
the Company’s policy that these balances are held with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings.
(Amount on transition: $13,299,208 for cash balances, $2,867,525 for other receivables)
The adoption of AASB 9 has changed the Company’s accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing
AASB 139’s incurred loss approach with a forward looking expected credit loss (“ECL”) approach. AASB 9 requires the
Company to recognise an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through the Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
The adoption of these new and amended standards has not had any financial impact on the financial position or results
of the Company.
Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
The financial report also complies with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
(c) New standards issued or amended but not yet effective
Applicable Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not
yet effective have not been adopted for the financial reporting period ended 30 June 2019. These are included in the
following table.

AASB 2019 – 1 has also been issued, which sets out
the amendments to Australian Accounting standards,
Interpretations and other pronouncements in order
to update references to the revised Conceptual
Framework. The changes to the Conceptual
Framework may affect the application of accounting
standards in situations where no standard applies
to a transaction or event. In addition, relief has
been provided in applying AASB 3 and developing
accounting policies for regulatory account balances
using AASB 108, such that entities must continue
to apply the definitions of an asset and a liability
(and supporting concepts) in the Framework for the
Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements
(July 2004), and not the definitions in the revised
Conceptual Framework.

Standards -
Definition of
Material
Summary of the accounting standard or amendment
The Interpretation clarifies the application of the
recognition and measurement criteria in AASB 112
Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income
tax treatments. The Interpretation specifically
addresses the following:
• Whether an entity considers uncertain tax
treatments separately
• The assumptions an entity makes about the
examination of tax treatments by taxation authorities
• How an entity determines taxable profit (tax loss),
tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and
tax rates
• How an entity considers changes in facts and
circumstances.
This Standard amends AASB 101 Presentation of
Financial Statements and AASB 108 Accounting
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors to align the definition of ‘material’ across
the standards and the clarify certain aspects of the
definition. The amendments clarify that materiality will
depend on the nature or magnitude of information.
An entity will need to assess whether the information,
either individually or in combination with other
information, is material in the context of the financial
statements. A misstatement of information is material
if it could reasonably be expected to influence
decisions made by the primary users.

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of a financial assets not at fair value through
profit or loss, transaction costs.
Financial assets within the scope of AASB 9 are classified as debt instruments at amortised cost or financial assets at
fair value through other comprehensive income or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as appropriate.
The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The classification of debt
instruments is based on two criteria: the Company’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the
instruments’ contractual cash flows represent ‘solely payments of principal and interest’ on the principal amount
outstanding. The assessment if the Company’s business model was made as of the date of initial application,
1 July 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely comprised of principal
and interest was made based on the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets.
Financial assets in the prior year within the scope of AASB 139 were classified as financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss or as loans and receivables as appropriate. Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or payables as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised
initially at fair value and, in the case of payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company may make short sales in which borrowed security is sold in anticipation of a decline in the market value
of the security. Short sales are classified as current financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
(ii)
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities depends on their classification as
described below:
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at
fair value. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and
measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.

(ii)
Subsequent measurement (cont’d)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with
net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss. These are listed equity investments which the
Company had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through OCI.
Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit and loss are designated at their initial
recognition date only if the criteria under AASB 9 are satisfied.
All financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are equity instruments that are managed through
making purchase and sales decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Company’s investment strategies.
The financial information about these financial assets and liabilities is provided internally on that basis to the Investment
Manager, Westoz Funds Management Pty Ltd and to the Board of Directors.
For investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets, fair value is determined by reference to the
Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices (offer prices for liabilities) at the close of business on the Statement of
Financial Position date, without any deduction for transaction costs.
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Statement of Financial Position cannot
be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of
mathematical models. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is
not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values.
The judgments include considerations of liquidity and model inputs such as credit risk (both own and counterparty’s),
correlation and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial
instruments. The models are calibrated regularly and tested for validity using prices from any observable current
market transactions in the same instrument (without modification or repackaging) or based on any available
observable market data.
Gains and losses on investments at fair value through profit and loss are recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income.
Purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by
regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date i.e. the date that the Company commits
to purchase/sell the asset.
Changes in the fair value of investments – net gains or losses on investments at fair value through profit or loss are
calculated as the difference between the fair value at sale (or purchase in the case of liabilities) or fair value at reporting
date and the fair value at the previous valuation point. This includes both realised and unrealised gains and losses but
does not include dividend.
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
•
•
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets to collect
contractual cashflows, and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject
to impairment. Expected credit losses (ECL’s) on financial assets at amortised costs are based on the difference
between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company
expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.
ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within
the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the
exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). This is further discussed in note 20.
The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in
certain cases, the Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information
indicates that the Company is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account
any credit enhancements held by the Company. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation
of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the asset is derecognised, modified
or impaired.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(d) Financial assets and liabilities (cont’d)
(iii) De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities
A financial asset (or where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognised when:
•
•
The rights to receive/contribute cash flows from the asset/liability have expired; or
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to
pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement;
and either
(a)
the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(b)
the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but
has transferred control of the asset.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and short term deposits, including
bank bills with a maturity 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.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and cash equivalents as
defined above.
(f)
Income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute
the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance date.
Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences at the balance date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences except where the deferred income tax liability
arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and,
at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except where the deferred
income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in
a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to
be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each balance date and are recognised to the extent that it has become
probable that future taxable profit will allow all or part of the deferred income tax to be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the
asset is realised or liability is settled, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance date.
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive
income and not in profit or loss.
(g) Other taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
•
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in
which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as
applicable; and
•
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in
the Statement of Financial Position.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(g) Other taxes (cont’d)
Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating
cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the
taxation authority.
(h) Revenue recognition
Interest revenue
Interest is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method which is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial investment to the gross carrying amount of the
financial asset.
Dividend revenue
Dividend is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established. This is taken to be the date the share
is quoted ex-dividend.
Other
The Company recognised revenue from sub-underwriting services on completion of the service.
In the prior year, revenue was recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable,
taking into account contractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes.
From 1 July 2018 the Company adopted AASB 15 where revenue from contract with customers is recognised when control
of the services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to
be entitled in exchange for those services. The timing or amount of the Company’s sub-underwriting fee from contracts with
customers was not impacted by the adoption of AASB 15. These fees are recognised as the related services are performed.
(i)
Trade and other payables
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are initially measured at fair value of the consideration to be paid on goods
and services received and then subsequently carried at amortised cost, whether or not billed to the entity. They represent
liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise
when the Company is obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services.
Payables include outstanding settlements on the purchase of investments and dividends payable. The carrying period is
dictated by market conditions and generally less than 30 days.
Payables to related parties are carried initially measured at fair value of the consideration to be paid on goods and services
received and then subsequently carried at amortised cost. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as an expense
on an accrual basis.
(j) Contributed equity
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company and is classified as equity.
Any incremental costs that are directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a
reduction of the share proceeds received.
(k) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as net profit attributed to ordinary equity holders divided by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders, adjusted for:
•
•
•
costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);
the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been
recognised; and
other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of
potential ordinary shares;
divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted for any
bonus element.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
(l) Receivables
Receivables are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method, less any allowance for uncollectible debts. Under AASB 139, an estimate of doubtful debts was made when there is
objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debt. Bad debts are written off when identified. Amounts
are normally received within 30 days of being recorded as receivable. An estimate of expected credit loss is made when there
is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debt.
Under AASB 9, the Company recognises an allowance for ECL for receivables using a general approach. Refer to note 2(d) for
the accounting policy on measurement of ECL.
(m) Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared by the Directors on or before the end of the financial year, but not
distributed at balance date.
(n) Management fees
Management fees, including performance fees, are calculated in accordance with contractual arrangements and are payable
in the year in which the returns are generated.
(o) Due to and from brokers
Amounts due to brokers are payables for securities purchased (in a regular way transaction) that have been contracted for
but not yet delivered on the reporting date. Refer to the accounting policy for ‘trade and other payables’ for recognition and
measurement of these amounts.
Amounts due from brokers include margin accounts and receivables for securities sold (in a regular way transaction) that
have been contracted for but not yet delivered on the reporting date. Refer to accounting policy for ‘Receivables’ for
recognition and measurement of these amounts.
(p) Presentation of comparative information
Prior year amounts in the financial report have been reclassified to ensure consistency with presentation of current
year amounts.
(q) Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
(i)
Taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which
the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax
assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with
future tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets relate to unrealised losses on investments in financial assets and
recognised tax losses.
Future taxable profits depend on the success of the Company’s investment strategy which in turn will be influenced
by the overall direction of equity markets. The markets are influenced by a number of factors such as outlook for
growth, inflation, commodity prices, interest rates, general economic conditions, natural disasters & government
regulation. Management has estimated future taxable profits based on an analysis that historic returns (per annum,
since inception) on the investment portfolio of Ozgrowth Limited. Market estimates of long term Australian equity
market returns are anticipated to be higher than the return that will be required to be generated by Ozgrowth
Limited in order to utilise the deferred tax asset. Changes in assumptions & estimates may affect the ability to
recognise deferred tax assets.
There are no other significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions during the financial year.
3.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
For management purposes, the Company is organised into one operating segment, which invests in equity securities on the
Australian Securities Exchange. All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent on the others.
Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Company as one segment. The financial results from
this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Company as a whole.
The Company operated in one geographical area being Australia.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value
hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
•
•
•
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable
Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
The following table shows financial instruments recorded at fair value, analysed between those whose fair value is based on quoted
market prices, those involving valuation techniques where model inputs are observable in the market and those where the valuation
technique involves the use of non-market observable inputs.

The level in which instruments are classified in the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. Assessment of the significance of an input requires judgement after considering factors specific to
the instrument.
The fair value of listed equity is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date (bid price for long positions), without any
deduction for transaction costs.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONT’D)
For instruments for which there is currently no active market, the Company uses valuation methods generally accepted in the
industry. Some of the inputs to those method may not be market observable and are therefore estimated based on assumptions. In
the case of unlisted equities, recent transactional evidence has been obtained that supported the current valuation. If, in the future,
similar transactions occur at significantly different values, the fair value of unlisted equities will be revised appropriately.

(c)
Terms and conditions of contributed equity
The Company does not have an authorised capital nor par value in respect of its issued capital.
Ordinary fully paid shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up the Company, to
participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of and amounts paid up on
shares held.
Ordinary fully paid shares entitle their holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at a meeting of the Company.
(d) Options
As at 30 June 2019 the Company has 35,466,231 options on issue. The options were issued pursuant to the Bonus Issue
prospectus issued on 29 September 2017 to all shareholders. The offer made a bonus issue of one Option for every 10 Shares
held by shareholders at the record date. These options are exercisable into 35,466,231 new ordinary shares in the Company
that rank equally with other ordinary shares by the payment of 19.0 cents per option at any time up until expiry date of 31
August 2019. 11,531 of these options were exercised during the period resulting in 11,531 new ordinary shares issued and 1,968
have been exercised between 1 July 2019 and 16 August 2019.
Holders of Options will be permitted to participate in new issues of securities only following the prior exercise of the Option.
An Option does not confer the right to a change in Exercise Price or a change in the number of Shares over which the Option
can be exercised. In the event of any reconstruction (including consolidation, subdivision, reduction or returns) of the issued
capital of the Company, the number of Options or Exercise Price or both shall be reconstructed in a manner consistent with
the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules at the time of the reconstruction.
(e) Capital Management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity share capital, accumulated losses and
profit reserve.
The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to produce positive return on funds, regardless of the
general direction of the listed share market and that is consistent with acceptable risk parameters in order to maximise the
shareholder value.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain
or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders
or issue new shares.
As far as possible, the Company intends to pay out a consistent stream of dividends to investors, having regard to availability
of franking credits and the balance in the profit reserve.
The Company was ungeared at year end and not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
Risks arising from holding financial instruments are inherent in the Company’s activities, and are managed through a process of
ongoing identification, measurement and monitoring. The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise listed equities, cash, short term deposits and outstanding sale and purchase
settlements. All securities investments present a risk of loss of capital. The maximum loss of capital on long equity securities is
limited to the fair value of those positions. On equities sold short, the maximum loss of capital can be unlimited. The Company has
other financial instruments such as trade creditors and distributions payable which arise directly from its operations. The Company
may also transact in other financial instruments, including derivatives, to achieve its target rate of return on assets. No derivatives are
held at 30 June 2019 (2018: Nil).
The Investment Manager is responsible for identifying and controlling the risks that arise from these financial instruments. The
Company has an established investment policy in place. Information about the total fair value of financial instruments exposed to
risk, as well as compliance with established investment policy, is monitored by the Investment Manager.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. This
risk is controlled by the Company investing in financial instruments, which in normal market conditions can be easily liquidated. In
addition, the Company maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet normal operating requirements.
Maturity Analysis for Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade, other payables, amounts due to brokers and distribution payable, which
contractually mature within 30 days.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the Company to incur a financial loss. The Company’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts in the statement of
financial position.
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the Company to incur a financial loss. The Company’s maximum credit exposure is the carrying amounts in the statement of
financial position.
The Company applies a general approach to calculating ECLs, except for those financial assets that apply the low credit risk
exemption. Following the adoption of AASB 9, the Company considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of a
financial asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout the reporting period.
The general approach is described in the accounting policy section 2(d). To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit
risk the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date
of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Company considers information that is reasonable and supportable, including
historical experience and forward-looking information. Forward-looking information considered includes consideration of external
sources of economic information. In particular, the Company takes into account the counterparties external credit rating (as far as
available), actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the counterparty and macroeconomic when assessing
significant movements in credit risk
The Company holds financial instruments with credit worthy third parties and as such applies the low credit risk simplification. At
each reporting period the Company evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable
and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making this evaluation, the Company considers
whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
At 30 June 2019, the Company held significant equities, cash balances and other current receivables in relation to outstanding
sale settlements. Cash deposits were held on an at call basis and term deposits have nominated maturity dates not greater
than three months forward with an institution covered under the Banking Act 1959 with a rating from Standard & Poors of AA-
(long term) and A-1+ (short term). Listed equities were held under a nominee arrangement with Euroz Securities Limited which
operates and maintains required prudential matters under an Australian Financial Services Licence. As at 30 June 2019, all
receivables are current with no balances that are past due nor credit-impaired.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in market variables
such as interest rates and equity prices. The Company has delegated the management of these risks to Westoz Funds Management
Pty Ltd (AFSL No 285607) who has expertise in the management of such risk.
The following risk control features are in place:
•
•
•
No one stock will represent more than 20% of the total portfolio value at the time of acquisition;
The portfolio usually consists of between 10 and 25 securities, although more or less may be held depending on the number
of securities identified that are expected to meet the performance expectations;
Where suitable stocks cannot be identified, the portfolio may invest in cash. Whilst unlikely over the medium term, the
portfolio may consist from time to time of significant cash deposits;

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of financial
instruments.
The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes to interest rate risk relates primarily to its earnings on cash and short term
deposits, which have variable interest rates. The total cash balance at 30 June 2019 was $5,577,731 (2018: $13,299,208). The
Company manages interest rate risk by ensuring that cash balances are always deposited in interest-bearing accounts that provide
competitive interest rates.
As at 30 June 2019, cash deposits of $5,577,731 (2018: $13,299,208) were held at call. No term deposits with maturities of more than
three months (2018: $nil) were held. No interest was recorded as receivable (2018: $nil).

Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Ozgrowth Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Ozgrowth Limited (the Company), which comprises the statement
of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income,
statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors'
declaration.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations
Act 2001, including:
a)
giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
b)
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the
Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONT’D)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
1.
Investment valuation
Why significant
The Company has a significant investment portfolio consisting
primarily of listed equities. As at 30 June 2019, the value of
these financial assets, per Note 5 to the financial report was
$67.2 million, which represents 89% of the total assets held by
the Company.
As detailed in the Company’s accounting policy, as described in
Note 2(d) of the financial report, these financial assets are
recognised at fair value through profit or loss in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards.
Volatility and other market drivers can have a significant
impact on the value of these financial assets, therefore
valuation of the investment portfolio was considered a key
audit matter.
2.
Management and performance fees
Why significant
Management and performance fees paid to the investment
manager, Westoz Funds Management Pty Ltd, are the most
significant expense for the Company.
As at 30 June 2019, management and performance fees
totalled $0.8 million which represents 70% of total expenses.
The Company’s accounting policy for management and
performance fees is described in Note 2(n) to the financial
report. All expenses are recognised on an accrual basis, with
performance fees recognised in the financial report if the
performance hurdles for the Company have been met at the
end of the relevant measurement period, which is the date
where certainty exists that the criteria has been met and the
liability has been crystallised.
The quantum of these expenses and the impact that the
volatility in the market prices of investments can have on the
recognition and payment of performance fees resulted in this
being a key audit matter. The disclosure of these amounts is
included in Note 15(b) of the financial report.
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
We assessed the fair value of significant
investments in the portfolio held at 30 June 2019
by reference to independent pricing sources.
We assessed the adequacy of the associated
disclosures in Note 5 of the financial report.
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
We assessed the Company’s performance fee
eligibility calculations. We recalculated
management and performance fees in accordance
with contractual arrangements ensuring contract
rates were correctly applied. We tested the inputs
to the performance fee calculation by ensuring the
key inputs, including the investment portfolio
values and the number of shares on issue at the
beginning of the performance period and the
movements in the investment portfolio value
during the year are consistent with the financial
report.
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in
Note 15(b) of the financial report.

Income taxes – recognition and recoverability of deferred tax assets
Why significant
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
At 30 June 2019, the Company has recognised $2.1 million of
net deferred tax assets (“DTA”) consisting of unrealised
investment losses. The analysis of the recognition and
recoverability of the deferred tax assets was considered a key
audit matter due to the value of the asset, the judgements
involved in the assessment process as assumptions are
affected by expected future market or economic conditions.
The Company recognises deferred tax assets to the extent that
it is probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred
tax assets to be recovered as disclosed in note 7 to the
financial report. The probability of recovery is impacted by
uncertainties regarding the likely timing and level of future
taxable profits.
Our tax specialists were involved in the
assessment of the recognition of deferred tax
balances based on local tax regulations.
We analysed the recoverability of the deferred tax
assets by assessing the Company’s estimated
future taxable income. We considered the
assumptions used in this forecast and considered
the historical accuracy of the Company’s
forecasting. We performed sensitivity analyses on
the key assumptions in the forecasts.
We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in
Note 7 to the financial report.
4.
Dividend payment
Why significant
After the provision for the dividend disclosed in Note 8 of the
financial report, the Company had net assets of $70.9 million
which is lower than the contributed equity (share capital) of
$72.7 million at 30 June 2019.
The Company is required to ascertain that the provision for
dividend is in compliance with the requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 and is not a return of capital.
How our audit addressed the key audit
matter
We considered the legal advice obtained by the
Company to assess whether the proposed dividend
complies with the requirements of Corporations
Act 2001, with particular consideration given to
the status of the dividend under the Act.
Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’
Report accompanying the financial report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and
our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true
and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial
report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of this financial report.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.

OZGROWTH LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2019
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONT’D)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
