Message from  
the Founders

Time  flies  when  you’re  having  fun,  and  given  how  quickly 
the first ten years of Pacific Smiles Group seems to have gone 
by,  there’s  no  doubt  that  both  of  us  have  thoroughly  enjoyed 
the  journey.  We  continue  to  enjoy  it  every  day  and  this  has 
been an important aspect of the prevailing culture at our great 
organisation.  We  genuinely  aim  to  generate  smiles  for  life,  not 
only for our patients, but for all stakeholders, including dentists, 
employees, colleagues and associates and of course, our fellow 
shareholders.

As  founders,  we  are  justifiably  proud  of  the  organisation 
reaching  the  significant  milestone  of  ten  years  in  business. 
From three Dental Centres in the Hunter in 2003 to thirty-four 
Dental Centres across New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria and 
Queensland  in  2013,  the  growth  and  expansion  has  already 
exceeded  our  initial  expectations.  Yet  we  feel  like  we’re  just 
getting started! There are so many more opportunities to build 
on our successful foundations.

In  our  celebratory  tenth  year  of  operations,  it  was  pleasing 
to  achieve  a  record  financial  performance,  despite  subdued 
consumer sentiment and the cessation of a major government 
funding initiative for the dental services industry. The government 
program contributed to outstanding performance in the first half 
of  the  year  and  its  termination  impacted  negatively  on  patient 
demand in the second half.

Economic  sentiment  is  cyclical,  government  programs  come 
and  go.  Regardless,  Pacific  Smiles  Group  consistently  focuses 
on exceeding the expectations of dentists and patients, our two 
customer  groups.  Our  service  culture,  expressed  as  A  Perfect 
Patient  Experience  (APPEx®)  is  our  point  of  difference  and 
sustainable  competitive  advantage  in  an  increasingly  crowded 
provider market. So it was at the start, so it is today and so it will 
be tomorrow.

Dr Alex Abrahams  
& Dr Alison Hughes

for life, not only for

Pacific Smiles Group Annual Report 2013

Robert  
Cameron AO

Pacific Smiles 

Group is a company that 

is successfully balancing 

the dual commitments 

of performance and 

compliance, exhibiting 

a strong culture of 
good corporate social 

responsibility.

Chairman’s Report

The 2013 financial year commenced with the 2012 Authorised 
Sale  through  which  TDM  Asset  Management  joined  our  share 
register and Ben Gisz, one of their principals, joined our Board. 
The relationship has been value-adding from the start and is one 
of many contributors to the achievement of a record Net Profit 
Before Tax of $9.1 million. This was an improvement of 39% over 
the previous year’s record result.

As  Chairman,  I  am  obviously  very  pleased  with  the  robust 
financial  performance,  but  I  am  equally  proud  of  the  positive 
progress  that  the  company  is  making  on  multiple  fronts, 
including  operational  efficiencies,  business  development, 
strategic collaboration, risk management, clinical and corporate 
governance,  and  health  and  safety.  Pacific  Smiles  Group  is  a 
company  that  is  successfully  balancing  the  dual  commitments 
of performance and compliance, exhibiting a strong culture of 
good corporate social responsibility. 

Despite some economic and government funding challenges 
to  the  business  during  the  year,  the  patient  volumes  at  the 
established  Pacific  Smiles  Dental  Centres  and  nib  Dental  Care 
Centres held up quite well and according to anecdotal evidence, 
better  than  many  others  in  the  industry.  Our  over-the-counter 
billings for the year was a record high $95 million, but there was a 
skew to the first half of the year when the Federal Government’s 
Chronic Disease Dental Scheme was operating.

The  management  actions  in  relation  to  the  termination  of 
the  Chronic  Disease  Dental  Scheme  will  be  covered  in  the 
Managing Director’s report, but suffice to say, my fellow Board 
members  and  I  were  pleased  with  management’s  anticipation 
and response to one of the most significant changes to dental 
funding seen in Australia.

Expansion  has  continued  at  a  solid  pace,  benefiting  from  the 
highly  systematic  approach  that  management  has  developed 
and  honed  over  many  years.  Three  new  Pacific  Smiles  Dental 
Centres  were  opened  during  the  year  at  Bendigo  in  regional 
Victoria, Bateau Bay on the Central Coast of New South Wales 
and  at  Belmont  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Macquarie,  also  in  New 
South Wales. A number of other opportunities were scoped out 
for commencement in the current year.

The Board has declared a final dividend of $0.05 per share on 
the basis of the very successful year. Total dividends in relation to 
the 2013 financial year are $0.075, representing a payout ratio of  
56%  on  the  statutory  net  profit  after  tax.  The  total  dividends  
paid during the financial year were up over 100% on last year.

We continue to work towards a liquidity  

event on behalf of all shareholders and 
I thank you for your continued  
support.

Managing Director’s
Report

The  2013  financial  year  was  truly  a  year  of  two  very  different 
halves.  Early  in  the  financial  year,  the  Federal  Government 
announced  the  impending  closure  of  the  Chronic  Disease 
Dental Scheme, precipitating a rush of eligible patients seeking 
treatment before the cut-off date at the end of November. This 
had the effect of bringing forward significant volumes of much 
needed dental treatment, thereby generating subdued demand 
conditions  in  the  short  term  following.  Given  that  the  Chronic 
Disease  Dental  Scheme  was  funding  about  15%  of  the  total 
private dental services market in Australia, it is hardly  surprising 
that the impact was so significant.

Fortunately, our long-term commitment to quality patient care 
and customer service bolstered patient loyalty and lessened the 
impact on the Dental Centres operated by Pacific Smiles Group, 
compared with the wider market. That is not to suggest that our 
second half was not materially impacted, but demand conditions 
had  improved  towards  the  end  of  the  financial  year,  despite 
the  absence  of  any  meaningful  Federal  government  funding 
program.

Subdued economic sentiment is possibly the more potent and 
immediate influence on patient demand for discretionary dental 
services. While participation in ancillary private health insurance 
has held up well in the face of the changes to the private health 
insurance  rebate, 
insurance  members  and  customers  are 
somewhat  less  inclined  to  seek  treatments  and  services,  other 
than those that they deem to be urgent or non-discretionary. 

Despite  the  challenges,  we  continue  to  enjoy  success  with 
new  Dental  Centres,  particularly  in  our  established  geographic 
clusters  where  our  brand  and  reputation  for  quality  are  well 
known. 

Business Performance
The 2013 financial year produced another solid result for Pacific 
Smiles  Group.  Our  Net  Profit  After  Tax  of  $6.1  million  was  up 
34%  on  the  previous  year,  quite  an  achievement  in  this  rapidly 
changing  market.  The  approach  to  accounting  for  commercial 
property leases was revised to fully comply with IFRS, and one 
onerous  lease  contract  was  provided  for.  These  non-cash 
adjustments increased expenses in 2013, but will lessen reported 
expenses in future periods. 

Almost  400,000  appointments  were  attended  across  our 
growing network of Dental Centres, producing a record $95m of 
over-the-counter patient billings. Strong growth compared to the

Pacific Smiles Group Annual Report 2013

previous year was evident across all of our operating 
regions,  underscoring  the  scalability  of  the  Pacific 
Smiles Group business model. Success builds upon 
success and there are opportunities being scoped in 
multiple of our operating regions.

Other  business  development  initiatives  included 
the launch of the employee and dentist intranet, the 
development  of  an  on-line  induction  and  training 
program  for  employees  plus  a  new  staff  rostering 
system.

One of the most pleasing aspects of our financial 
performance  this  year  was  cost  management, 
both  at  head  office  and  in  the  Dental  Centres.  The 
termination of the Chronic Disease Dental Scheme, 
combined  with  subdued  consumer  sentiment, 
triggered  an  unprecedented  focus  on  costs  across 
the whole dental industry and Pacific Smiles Group 
was  no  exception.  All  opportunities  to  reduce  the 
cost  base  without  compromising  quality  or  care  or 
the  capacity  for  future  expansion,  were  scrutinised 
and many useful initiatives were actioned.

Speaking of quality and care, Pacific Smiles Group 
is the pioneer of the use of post-visit surveys and the 
customer loyalty metric known as the Net Promoter 
Score in the dental services industry in Australia. In 
the  2013  financial  year,  it  was  very  encouraging  to 
see an already impressive result improve by a further 
7% to positive 67 across our network. By Australian 
and 
international  standards  across  numerous 
industries, this is an exceptionally high Net Promoter 
Score,  validating  our  focus  on  patient  care  and 
customer  service  under  our  APPEx®  (A  Perfect 
Patient Experience) program. 

Business Development
Three  new  Pacific  Smiles  Dental  Centres  were 
opened  during  the  year,  at  Bendigo  in  regional 
Victoria,  Belmont  on  Lake  Macquarie,  New  South 
Wales  and  Bateau  Bay  on  the  New  South  Wales 
Central Coast. Designed and fitted out to the Pacific 
Smiles  standard  blueprint,  they  were  all  delivered 
on  time  and  within  approved  expenditure  budgets. 
In  New  South  Wales,  the  new  centres  are  in  retail 
precincts  while  the  Bendigo  centre  is  part  of  a 
new  and  exciting  medical  precinct  that  has  been 
developed near the centre of the town.

Extensive research was undertaken during the year 
into new Dental Centre opportunities within existing 
clusters  and  in  new  geographic  zones,  many  of 
which are now being assessed.

Additional  surgeries  were  commissioned  at  a 
couple  of  our  existing  Dental  Centres  in  response 
to sustained patient demand. This is a very cost and 
time  effective  way  to  increase  capacity  and  Pacific 
Smiles Group has a number of unfitted surgeries that 
can be commissioned as patient demand grows.

Outlook
Patient  demand  has  recovered  to  levels  which 
support  our  current  operations  and  known  future 
plans. It is not currently at the almost unsustainably 
strong  levels  that  existed  towards  the  end  of  the 
Chronic  Disease  Dental  Scheme,  however,  a  new 
Federal Government program called the Child Dental 
Benefits  Schedule  (CDBS)  is  marked  to  commence 
from  January  2014,  at  which  time  the  underused 
Medicare Teen Dental Plan will cease.

CDBS will be directed towards 3.4 million children 
aged  2  to  17  in  Family  Tax  Benefit  A  households, 
providing them with government funding over a two 
year  period  with  which  to  pay  for  required  dental 
services  from  private  sector  providers.  While  the 
total funding under CDBS will be less than under the 
Chronic Disease Dental Scheme, it will nonetheless 
encourage and support more Australians to visit the 
dentist more regularly. It is a much better designed 
program for children and teens than the Teen Dental 
Plan.

Regardless  of  the  government  funding  regime, 
Pacific  Smiles  Group  will  continue  to  develop  and 
operate  Dental  Centres  that  appeal  to  their  local 
communities  and  which  successfully  build  up  a 
loyal base of patients over time. Numerous initiatives 
that  will  help  to  foster  successful  growth  and  drive 
preference for Pacific Smiles Dental Centres and nib 
Dental Care Centres are currently being evaluated.

The  focus  on  outer  urban  and  regional  localities 
will  continue  for  the  foreseeable  future,  bolstered 
by  an  upturn  in  the  number  of  dentists  graduating 
from  Australian  dental  schools.  Shareholders 
can  rest  assured  that  the  experienced  and  stable 
management  team  at  Pacific  Smiles  Group  will 
continue to develop and operate Dental Centres that 
are as appealing to dentists as they are to patients.

I take this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors, 
the  Executive  and  Senior  Management  teams,  the 
Centre Managers and Lead Practitioners and all the 
employees  and  dentists  throughout  Pacific  Smiles 
Group.

20  Pacific Smiles Group Annual Report 2013

Notes to the
Consolidated
Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)  Corporate Information

The  financial  statements  are  for  the  consolidated  entity  consisting  of  Pacific  Smiles  Group  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its 
subsidiaries (“the Group”).

Pacific Smiles Group Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and its 
principal place of business are located at 6 Molly Morgan Drive, Greenhills, NSW.

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors’ Report 
on pages 12 to 15, which is not part of this financial report.

The financial report is presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 October 2013. The Company has the power to amend and 
reissue the financial report.

(b)  Basis of Preparation

Statement of Compliance
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. 

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) 
adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. Pacific Smiles Group Limited is a 
for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  adopted  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  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 2013 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.

(c)  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 2013 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(h).

Consolidated
Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

(d)  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.

(e)  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.

Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and loss.

(f)  Income Tax
The income tax expense 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.

22  Pacific Smiles Group Annual Report 2013

Notes to the
Consolidated
Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

(g)  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, net of incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit and 
loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease 
term.

(h)  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(n)).

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.

(i)  Impairment of Assets
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 any material impairment losses recognised in the financial statements are provided in 
the notes dealing with the relevant asset category.

(j)  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.

(k)  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  and  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 and loss.

(l)  Inventories
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(m)  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 and 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  

10 to 20 years

Plant and equipment 

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(i).

(n)  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.

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

(p)  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.

(q)  Employee Benefits
(i) Short-term Obligations
Short-term  employee  benefit  obligations  are  measured  on  an  undiscounted  basis  and  are  expensed  as  the  related  service  is 
provided. The liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liability for annual 
leave  is  recognised  in  the  provision  for  employee  benefits.  All  other  short-term  employee  benefit  obligations  are  presented  
as payables.

(ii) Long-term Obligations
The Group’s obligation in respect of long service leave is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return 
for their service in the current and prior periods. That liability is measured as the present value of expected future payments 
to be made in respect of the services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period. Consideration is given to 
expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments

are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on national government bonds with terms to maturity that 
match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The obligations are presented as a current liability in the balance sheet if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(r)  Provisions
A  provision  is  recognised  if,  as  a  result  of  a  past  event,  the  Group  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive  obligation  that  can  be 
estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are 
determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time 
value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

Onerous Contracts
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are 
lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of 
the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a 
provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract.

(s)  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.

(t)  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.

u)  Parent Entity Financial Information

The financial information for the parent entity, Pacific Smiles Group Limited, disclosed in Note 28 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 (v)  Correction of Error –  Accounting for Operating Leases

In the Group’s financial statements up until the year ended 30 June 2012, the costs in relation to non-cancellable operating 
leases for premises were charged to profit and loss as expense when the payment obligation occurs. This resulted in matching 
of the operating lease expenses with the pattern of payments required under the various leases.

During the year ended 30 June 2013, the Group reviewed it’s accounting policy for operating leases, and determined that it was 
not in line with all of the requirements of the relevant Australian Accounting Standard. 

The Group’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 reflect the revised accounting policy described in Note 1(g). In 
summary, payments made under operating leases, net of incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit and loss on a 
straight line basis over the period of the lease.

The error has also been corrected retrospectively by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for the prior 
periods as follows:

(Decrease)

1 July 2012

Impairment Losses - Goodwill
During the financial year, the Group recorded an impairment loss of $360,121 relating to the write down of goodwill assets at 
two of its Dental Centres. 

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. 

Contingent Consideration Not Payable
During the financial year, the Group wrote down the value of goodwill associated with a business acquisition undertaken in 2011 
by $480,000. This amount represented contingent consideration. Under the contract for the acquisition of the business, the 
sum was payable if certain conditions were met over the two years following acquisition. Not all of the conditions for payment 
were met, and hence the amount did not become payable. A liability for deferred consideration had been recognised and it 
has been reversed during the financial year. The reversal of this liability of $480,000 is reflected in Other Income (Note 3). The 
carrying value of the goodwill related to this particular business has also been written down by $480,000, with this amount 
being reflected in Impairment Losses (Note 4).

(c)  Ordinary Shares
Fully paid ordinary shares – Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in 
proportion to the number of shares held. At shareholders’ meetings, each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is 
called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 

Partly paid ordinary shares – The partly paid ordinary shares are called on in accordance with their underlying agreements 
and as required by the Company. In any case, on winding up of the Company, the balance of partly paid shares, if any, may 
be called up. The proceeds on winding up are proportional to the amounts paid on partly paid shares. Partly paid shares 
carry equal dividend participation and voting rights as fully paid shares, although any dividends must first be applied to the 
unpaid balance on the shares.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

24. Financial Risk Management
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank bills, bank and other loans, 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. All of the 
Group’s bank borrowings at balance date, comprising bank bills and bank-provided equipment loans, attracted fixed interest 
rates. These loans have been used to partly finance the purchase of durable tangible assets and intangible assets such as 
goodwill acquired in business acquisitions. 

Bank bills totaling $3,000,000 form part of an ongoing loan facility which is reviewed annually with the Bank. The fixed 
interest rate period on this bill expired in September 2013, and at that time the bill was repaid. 

The balance of other non-bank loans is non-interest bearing.

Cash balances in cheque and other on-call accounts earn interest at rates ranging between 0.1% and 2.75% (2012: 0.1% and 
3.5%) for the Group, depending upon account balances. 

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at the end of the year was 4.90% (2012: 4.58%) 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

2013

$

43,251

(43,251)

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.

24. 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 15. 

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 $1,062,418. 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 time frames required.

* Bank bills totaling $3,000,000 form part of an ongoing 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 continue to be available 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 regardless of whether or not repayment is 
expected within this timeframe. The bank bill liability of $3,000,000 was repaid in full in September 2013.

Fair Value

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

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

error. In note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard 
AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements of the Group
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. These Auditing 
Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit

46  Pacific Smiles Group Annual Report 2013

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013

The Pacific Smiles Group Story

It’s  2003.  Beyonce,  Guy  Sebastian,  Eminem  and  the  Black  Eyed  Peas  are  dominating  the  local  music 
charts and Lord of the Rings, The Matrix and Finding Nemo are the box-office movie hits of the year. The 
Concorde takes off for its final trans-Atlantic flight and a military invasion of Iraq is launched. The iTunes 
Store opens for business and the first Blu-Ray disc players are available to the public. At Harvard University, 
a student creates Facemash in his dorm room, which is later to morph into Facebook. 

And during this eventful time, something exciting is happening in the Hunter region of New South Wales 
that will have a profound and lasting impact on the Australian dental scene.

On the 1st of January, Greenhills and East Maitland Dental merged with Lakes Dental Charlestown and 
Lakes  Dental  Dora  Creek  to  form  Pacific  Smiles  Group,  one  of  the  first  so-called  dental  corporates  in 
Australia. The company founders, Dr. Alex Abrahams and Dr. Alison Hughes, created the company with 
little fanfare, but big ambitions.

Those ambitions were borne of their vision of a dental group corporate in structure, but not in culture. With 
a corporate structure to support the group’s future expansion and growth combined with a friendly and 
unpretentious culture centred on patient care and customer service, Pacific Smiles Group was a sure-fire 
winner from the start.

Many years prior to 2003, Alex and Sue Abrahams believed that dentists should do dentistry and managers 
should manage. They learnt about practice management and implemented, evaluated and refined systems 
to support the philosophy. Alison came on board as a keen participant and the formula resulted in the 
initial success of the original three dental centres for the best outcome for patients, staff and dentists.

A business plan was developed by Alex with help from Dr Genna Levitch in the lead-up to 2003 and many 
of the guiding principles from that document are still relevant today.

Things  moved  quickly  from  the  start.  A  Board  of  Directors  was  appointed  at  commencement  and  a 
General  Manager  joined  a  year  later.  The  three  original  Dental  Centres  became  five  via  an  operations 
agreement with nib for the large nib Dental Care Centres in Newcastle and Sydney. Immediately following 
were the significant milestones of the first Dental Centre acquisition (Forster) and the first Dental Centre 
development (Salamander Bay).

A  group  head  office  was  developed  to  provide  the  corporate  and  administrative  employees  with  a 
professional workplace. During the first few years, this team had worked out of Dental Centre staff rooms, 
spare surgeries and for a while, a residential house! In the years that followed, Pacific Smiles Group continued 
to expand at a rapid pace with a growing family of employees and dentists. Even with such growth and the 
changes that inevitably accompany it, many of the employees and dentists from the earliest days of Pacific 
Smiles Group remain with the group today.

As with any organisation over a ten year period, there have been highs, lows and everything in between. 
Mixed  with  risks,  challenges,  successes  and  a  few  learning  experiences  along  the  way,  the  journey  has 
been an adventure and there are many chapters yet to come!
