Annual Report 2012    III

CHAIRMAN’S 
REPORT

It is a pleasure this year to report a record Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT) of $6.8 million, representing growth over the 

previous year of 98%. In the current economic climate, this was an outstanding result, achieved during a very busy year 

of major initiatives and against a backdrop of substantial geographic expansion of our Dental Centre networks into the 

three eastern mainland states of Australia and the ACT.

The Group now operates 34 Dental Centres, of which 6 are branded nib Dental Care Centres and 28 of which are Pacific 

Smiles Dental Centres. The latter are mainly located in regional hubs between one and three hours of capital cities. 

For our shareholders, the excellent financial result has allowed the Board to declare a final dividend of 2.0 cents per share 

(fully franked). Added to the interim dividend of 1.2 cents per share paid in April 2012, the total annual dividend in relation 

to the 2012 financial year of 3.2 cents per share was up by 88% on last year and represents a payout ratio of 28%.

As mentioned in the Message from the Founders and covered in more detail in the Managing Director’s report, there were 

many significant initiatives completed during the year. I won’t elaborate on them here, other than to say that the Board is 

very pleased that Pacific Smiles Group is now more sharply focused on its core business of Dental Centre development 

and management and dental services support businesses such as Dental Assistant Training Solutions, our Registered 

Training Organisation for the dental industry.

With a sharp business strategy and effective execution, Pacific Smiles Group remains committed to achieving sufficient 

scale  to  undertake  a  liquidity  event  on  behalf  of  all  shareholders  in  the  medium  term,  subject  to  conducive  external 

conditions.

“Pacific Smiles Group enjoys well located and popular 
Dental Centres throughout the eastern mainland states  
and the ACT. Our focus on patient care as the key driver  
of all operational and financial outcomes continues to  
serve us well, as evidenced in the 2012 results.”

IV    Pacific Smiles Group Limited

In the meantime, the Board was pleased to provide the 

Pacific  Smiles  Group  is  fortunate  to  have  someone  of  

recent (post balance date) opportunity for all shareholders 

his calibre on our Board.

to participate in the 2012 Authorised Sale. This occurred 

in  July  2012  and  approximately  20%  of  issued  shares 

were sold to new investors introduced to Pacific Smiles 

Group  by  TDM  Asset  Management.  The  price  of  $1.55 

per share at which the transactions took place set a new 

benchmark for the Company.

As  Chairman,  I  welcome  the  new  investors  and  thank 

them  for  their  confidence  in  our  successful  business 

model. Whilst there are now a number of dental corporates 

operating  in  the  Australian  market  place,  Pacific  Smiles 

Group  stands  out  as  a  scalable  and  sustainable 

organisation  with  stable,  experienced  management  and 

excellent clinical and corporate governance. 

I  also  welcome  Ben  Gisz  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  

Pacific  Smiles  Group.  Ben  has  extensive  experience 

in  financial  markets  in  Australia  and  overseas  and  is  a  

principal  of  TDM  Asset  Management.  His  contributions 

as  a  Director  are  greatly  appreciated  and  I  believe  that 

The long term prospects for Pacific Smiles Group are very 

promising, but there are current challenges accruing from 

economy-wide  negative  consumer  sentiment  and  the 

Federal Government retreat from direct funding of private 

dental services. 

However,  Pacific  Smiles  Group  enjoys  well  located  and 

popular Dental Centres throughout the eastern mainland 

states  and  the  ACT.  We  have  a  pipeline  of  new  Dental 

Centre  developments  that,  subject  to  suitable  market 

conditions, continue to roll out at a rate of approximately 

3 to 6 per year. Our focus on patient care as the key driver 

of  all  operational  and  financial  outcomes  continues  to 

serve us well, as evidenced in the 2012 results.

Thanks  to  all  shareholders  for  their  support  and  to  all 

internal stakeholders for their commitment and diligence 

in producing such a pleasing result.

The Year in Review

MANAGING  
DIRECTOR’S  
REPORT

Financial  Year  2012  proved  that  a  clear  strategy,  well 

As noted by the Chairman and the Founders, there were 

executed, will deliver record results, even in a challenging 

a  number  of  strategic  initiatives  completed  in  Financial 

operating  environment.  With  no  clear  signs  of  a  lift  in 

Year  2012.  The  sale  of  the  Eye  Care  business  was  a 

consumer sentiment in Australia and government policy

changes  that  are  quite  adverse  to  the  private  dental

services sector in the short to medium term, Pacific Smiles 

a pure-play dental facilities and dental services business.

Group  is  benefiting  from  its  prior  period  investments  in 

people and systems and from a service culture that we 

believe is second to none in our industry.

Soon after the sale of that business, Pacific Smiles Group 

entered into a new fifteen year Relationship and Marketing 

Agreement  with  nib  Health  Funds  Limited.  Under  this 

The  Net  Profit  Before  Tax  (NPBT)  of  $6.8  million  was 

agreement, Pacific Smiles Group enjoys exclusive rights 

achieved  from  record  services  to  patients  to  the  value 

to  the  development  and  operation  of  Dental  Centres 

of $86 million. Obviously, some of this accrued from the 

branded as nib Dental Care Centres. There are six such

was again strong this year, suggesting that our focus on 

patient  care  and  customer  service  resonates  with  the 

communities that we serve.

One of the nib Dental Care Centres was relocated during 

the  year.  The  flagship  Sydney  nib  Dental  Care  Centre 

was relocated from George Street to Hunter Street and 

Four  brand  new  Pacific  Smiles  Dental  Centres  were 

expanded to 18 surgeries. It is one of the most impressive 

opened  during  the  year  at  North  Lakes  in  Queensland, 

Dental  Centres  in  Australia  and  patient  volumes  have

stepped  up  considerably  since  the  move,  validating  the

expansion.

close  proximity  to  large  Westfield  Shopping  Towns  and 

benefit from excellent exposure and easy access. All four 

were designed and built to proprietary in-house templates 

and finishes guides and they all exude the professional, yet 

friendly Pacific Smiles appeal. So well documented and 

standardised are our new Centre developments that they 

can be rolled out without distraction to daily operational 

management or to other major strategic initiatives.

Since  the  balance  date,  three  more  Pacific  Smiles 

Dental Centres have been opened at Bendigo in regional 

Victoria,  Belmont  in  the  Lake  Macquarie  region  of  New 

South  Wales  and  Bateau  Bay  on  the  Central  Coast  of 

New South Wales.

A decision was finally made to close The Dental Specialists 

on  York  Street  after  some  years  of  under  performance 

and significant asset impairment write-downs in previous 

periods. Equipment and personnel were transferred to the 

new flagship nib Centre on Hunter Street, which benefited 

from  having  an  even  greater  array  of  dental  services  to 

offer patients.

From  an  operational  perspective,  great  strides  were 

made  during  the  year  on  our  two  key  internal  aims  – 

consistency  and  efficiency.  Increasingly,  many  of  the 

recurring  processes  and  communications  in  Centres 

and  in  Group  Head  Office  are  being  automated.  There

REPORT

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

PACIFIC SMILES GROUP LIMITED ABN: 42 103 087 449 

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT  
TO THE MEMBERS OF PACIFIC SMILES GROUP LIMITED 

Report on the Financial Report 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of Pacific  Smiles  Group  Limited,  which 
comprises  the  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2012,  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the 
year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other 
explanatory information, and the directors' declaration. 

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report  

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that 
gives  a  true  and  fair  view  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary 
to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  that  is  free  from  material  misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error.  

In  Note  1,  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standard  AASB  101 
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s Responsibility  

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

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

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

NOTES TO THE 
CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies 
have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated 
entity consisting of Pacific Smiles Group Limited and its subsidiaries.

a.  Basis of Preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative 
pronouncements  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board,  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations  and  the  Corporations  Act 
2001. Pacific Smiles Group Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards Board (IASB).

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

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The  preparation  of  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, where applicable, 
in the relevant notes to the financial statements.

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Interpretations
The  Group  has  adopted  all  of  the  new  and  revised  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards 
Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the reporting period. Details of the impact of the adoption of these new 
accounting standards, where applicable, are set out in the individual accounting policy notes. 

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  30  June  2012  reporting 
periods. None of these standards or interpretations have been adopted early in the preparation of these financial statements. On 
assessment of these new standards and interpretations, there is no material identified impact for the Group.

b.  Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Pacific Smiles Group Limited (“Company” 
or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Pacific Smiles Group Limited and its 
subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  entities  over  which  the  Group  has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating  policies,  generally 
accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are 
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. The acquisition method of accounting 
is used to account for business combinations by the Group (refer to note 1(g)).

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  on  transactions  between  Group  companies  are  eliminated.  Unrealised 
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of the parent entity.

c.  Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker.  
The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

NOTES TO THE 
CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

d.  Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised once the services have been provided and is measured in accordance with 
contractual calculation methods and rates.

Revenue from the sale of goods is net of returns, discounts and other allowances, and is recognised when the significant risks and 
rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered to pass to the buyer 
at the time when control of the goods passes to the customer in the case of the supply of non-customised products, or at the time a 
significant monetary deposit is taken in the case of customised products.

Income Tax

e. 
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable 
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences 
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting 
period in the jurisdictions where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically 
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretations. It 
establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted 
for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the 
transactions affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have 
been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income 
tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

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.

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amount  and  tax  bases  of 
investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and 
it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when 
the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a 
legally enforceable right to offset and intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

f.  Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease inception at the lower of the fair value of the lease asset and 
the  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  The  corresponding  rental  obligations,  net  of  finance  charges,  are  included  in 
borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate of the finance 
balance outstanding. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a 
constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired 
under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as 
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss as incurred.

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income as it is earned.

CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

g.  Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the 
assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed. The consideration also includes the fair value of any asset or 
liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their 
fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net 
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer Note 1(m)).

Contingent consideration is classified as a financial liability and amounts are subsequently re-measured to fair value, with changes in 
fair value recognised in profit and loss.

Impairment of Assets

h. 
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. 
Other assets, including those that are subject to depreciation or amortisation 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to 
sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately 
identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). 
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each 
reporting date. Cash inflows considered for the purposes of impairment testing are discounted to present value.

Significant  judgement  has  been  used  in  testing  assets  for  impairment  and  in  determining  the  amounts  recognised  as  impairment 
losses  at  reporting  date.  Further  details  of  the  material  impairment  losses  recognised  in  the  financial  statements  in  the  previous 
financial year are provided below:

Impairment Loss – Property, Plant and Equipment
During the previous financial year, the Group recorded an impairment loss of $1,107,149 relating to the write down of the leasehold 
improvements  assets  at  two  of  its  Dental  Centres.  The  adjustment  comprised  $685,692  relating  to  the  Group’s  specialist  Dental 
Centre located in Sydney, and $421,457 relating to a Dental Centre located in Melbourne.

The impairment assessments were made on the basis of the assets’ expected value in use. Discounted cash flow forecasts were 
reviewed for each business unit, and the carrying value of the business assets exceeded their recoverable amount. 

During the financial year ended 30 June 2012, a decision was made to cease operation of a dedicated specialist Dental Centre in 
Sydney, and instead facilitate the provision of a range of specialist dental services throughout the network of general Dental Centres 
operated by the Group. Assets with remaining carrying values that were previously utilised at the specialist Dental Centre have been 
redeployed to other productive uses within the Group.

i.  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.

j.  Receivables
Receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost,  less  provision  for  impairment  
if applicable.

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss with other expenses. When a receivable for which an impairment 
allowance  had  been  recognised  becomes  uncollectible  in  a  subsequent  period,  it  is  written  off  against  the  allowance  account. 
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Inventories

k. 
Inventories held for sale and stores of consumable supplies are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned 
to individual items of inventory on the basis of actual costs.

l.  Property, Plant and Equipment
All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation, amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

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

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of assets, net of their residual values, over their estimated 
useful lives, as follows:

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 

10 to 20 years
3 to 10 years

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

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its 
estimated recoverable amount (note 1(h)).

m.  Intangible Assets
(i)   Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the 
acquired business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of businesses is included in intangible assets. 

Goodwill acquired in business combinations is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently 
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 

Goodwill is allocated to relevant cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. 

(ii)   Rights and Licences
Contractual rights and licences have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. 
Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost of the rights and licences over their estimated useful lives, 
being between three and ten years.

n.  Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. 

o.  Borrowings
Borrowings are measured at amortised cost. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not incremental costs relating 
to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
facility.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilities for at 
least 12 months after the reporting period.

p.  Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees up to balance date. 
Employee benefits that may be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability 
is  settled,  plus  related  on-costs.  Employee  benefits  payable  later  than  one  year  have  been  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

q.  Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.

r.  Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

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

s.  Parent Entity Financial Information
The financial information for the parent entity, Pacific Smiles Group Limited, disclosed in note 30 has been prepared on the same basis 
as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below.

(i)  Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Pacific Smiles Group Limited.

(ii)  Tax consolidation legislation
Pacific Smiles Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.

The head entity, Pacific Smiles Group Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current 
and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand 
alone taxpayer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Pacific Smiles Group Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or 
assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax 
consolidated group.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly–owned entities fully compensate Pacific Smiles 
Group  Limited  for  any  current  tax  payable  assumed  and  are  compensated  by  Pacific  Smiles  Group  Limited  for  any  current  tax 
receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Pacific Smiles Group 
Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the 
wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable 
from or payable to other entities in the group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised 
as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.

Pacific Smiles Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. 
The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1. On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the 
tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability 
of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Pacific Smiles Group Limited.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly-owned entities fully compensate Pacific Smiles 
Group  Limited  for  any  current  tax  payable  assumed  and  are  compensated  by  Pacific  Smiles  Group  Limited  for  any  current  tax 
receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Pacific Smiles Group 
Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the 
wholly-owned entities’ financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, 
which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding 
amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables 
or payables.

The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial year, adjusted for franking credits 
that will arise from the payment of the amount of income tax payable or collection of income tax receivable.

The impact on the franking account of the dividend declared by the directors and paid since the end of the reporting period, but not 
recognised as a liability at the reporting date, will be a reduction in the franking account of $362,067 (2011: $163,123).

CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

26.    Financial Risk Management

The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank bills, bank and other loans, equipment finance instruments and cash. 
The main purpose of these instruments is to raise finance for the Group’s operations and investments. The Group has various other 
financial instruments such as trade and other debtors and creditors, which arise directly from its operations. The Group does not 
trade in financial instruments.

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. Senior management 
develops and monitors risk management policy, and reports regularly to the directors on issues and compliance matters. Risk 
management principles and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The 
main risks arising from the Company and Group’s financial instruments are identified below.

Market Risk

The Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its bank debt obligations. A significant portion 
(90%) of the Group’s borrowings at balance date attracted fixed interest rates, with fixed rates applying to the bank-provided 
equipment loans and bank bills. These loans are primarily used to partly finance the purchase of durable tangible assets and 
intangible assets such as goodwill acquired in business acquisitions. Of these fixed interest liabilities, $1,500,000 (or 22% of total 
borrowings) comprise bank bills, which have short durations and hence are repriced frequently. The remaining $3,000,000 of bank 
bills form part of a loan facility which is subject to annual review by the bank, but which has an interest rate fixed for more than 
twelve months. The remaining 10% of other loans were non-interest bearing.

Cash balances in cheque and other on-call accounts earned interest at rates ranging between 0.1% and 3.5% (2011: 1.25% and 
4.75%) for the Group, depending upon account balances.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at the end of the year was 4.58% (2011: 5.22%) for the Group.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

Effect on profit before tax and equity: 

1% increase in interest rates

1% decrease in interest rates

Credit Risk

(24,794)

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group does not have significant credit exposure to any one financial 
institution or customer. The credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity which have been recognised in the balance 
sheet is generally the carrying amount, net of any provision for doubtful debts.

NOTES TO THE 
CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

26.    Financial Risk Management (continued)

Liquidity Risk

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of working capital and 
bank borrowings. The Group aims to achieve this flexibility by keeping committed credit lines available. Opportunities to raise 
additional capital from shareholders are also considered where appropriate. Bank financing facilities are identified at Note 14. 

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows to ensure sufficient liquidity is always 
available to meet liability obligations as they fall due. The Group’s Balance Sheet shows an excess of current liabilities over current 
assets at balance date of $7,618,150. Liabilities have been classified as current where it is probable that they will be settled within 
twelve months or if there is a contractual obligation that may require settlement within twelve months, regardless of how likely 
settlement under contractual arrangements is judged to be. The Group’s current assets, available financing facilities, and ongoing 
positive operating cash flows continue to be sufficient to satisfy all payment obligations within the timeframes required.

* Bank bills totaling $4,500,000 form part of a bank facility which is reviewed annually with the Bank. The overall facility does not 
have a fixed expiry date. It is an ongoing line of credit, subject to the Bank’s annual review. The particular financial instruments 
drawn under the facility, such as bank bills, have specified maturity or roll-over dates, but the line of credit is un-termed. The 
Company anticipates the facility will be reviewed with the Bank during the next twelve months and will remain in place thereafter 
in the normal course of business. Balances outstanding under the facility have been classified as contractually due within twelve 
months for the purposes of this disclosure.

Fair Value
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities held by the Group approximate the individual carrying values of those assets and  
liabilities.
