A message from 
THE CHAIRMAN
Robert Cameron AO

This	 year	 was	 a	 very	 significant	 one	 for	 Pacific	 Smiles	
Group	(Pacific	Smiles)	with	our	listing	on	the	Australian	
Securities	Exchange	(ASX)	in	November	2014.	On	behalf	
of  the  Board,  welcome  to  all  of  the  new  Shareholders, 
and	thank	you	to	all	Shareholders	for	supporting	Pacific	
Smiles	to	reach	this	important	milestone.

Ordinary  dividends  declared  in  relation  to  the  2015 
financial	year	totalled	5.0	cents	per	share	fully	franked,	
representing	78%	of	pro	forma	Net	Profit	After	Tax	and	
a	25%	increase	on	the	previous	year.	A	pre-IPO	special	
dividend	 of	 1.6	 cents	 per	 share	 fully	 franked	 was	 also	
paid.

It was also a successful year and I am pleased to report 
that	our	results	for	the	financial	year	ended	30	June	2015	
exceeded  the  pro  forma  earnings  forecast  provided  in 
the	Prospectus	for	our	Initial	Public	Offering	(IPO).

Revenue	 of	 $74.9	 million	 was	 26.8%	 higher	 than	 the	
previous	year	and	our	pro	forma	Net	Profit	After	Tax	of	
$9.7	million	was	31.9%	higher	than	the	previous	year.	The	
results	reflect	our	ongoing	focus	on	revenue	growth	with	
improving	efficiencies	and	cost	management.	

The  key  milestones  and  achievements  were  delivered 
against	a	backdrop	of	an	accelerated	roll-out	program	
of new dental centres and the integration of three large 
dental	centres	acquired	from	Medibank	Private	in	June	
2014.	At	the	close	of	the	year,	the	dental	centre	network	
comprised	 42	 Pacific	 Smiles	 Dental	 Centres	 and	 7	 nib	
Dental  Care  Centres,  located  throughout  New  South 
Wales, Queensland, Victoria and the Australian Capital 
Territory.

Pacific	 Smiles	 Dental	 is	 now	 the	 largest	 branded	
dental network in Australia and is poised for continued 
expansion	in	established	and	new	geographic	clusters.	
Growth	 in	 revenue	 will	 be	 derived	 from	 the	 continued	
rollout	of	new	dental	centres	but	also	from	same-centre	
patient	 fees	 growth,	 which	 was	 4.3%	 in	 FY	 2015.	 As	
covered later in this report, our management is focussed 
on	 driving	 same-centre	 growth	 through	 the	 delivery	 of	
outstanding patient care and customer service in all our 
dental	centres	and	innovative	marketing	initiatives.

The Board’s enduring commitment to strong corporate 
governance	 throughout	 Pacific	 Smiles’	 history	 has	
smoothed  the  transition  to  the  more  formal  rigours  of 
the	 ASX	 listed	 company	 environment.	 Following	 the	
retirement	of	Lance	Wheeldon	from	the	Board	noted	in	
last year’s Annual Report, after a  considered  selection 
process  the  Board  was  delighted  to  welcome  Grant 
Bourke	 as	 a	 Director	 from	 October	 2014.	 All	 Directors	
are	highly	engaged	with	the	business,	are	committed	to	
its	success	and	embody	the	deep	skills	and	experience	
needed.

I would like to thank the dentists who choose to practice 
from	 our	 fully-serviced	 facilities.	 Our	 business	 is	 all	
about	providing	them	with	the	resources	and	the	patient	
flow	 to	 enable	 their	 practice	 to	 thrive.	 Our	 success	 is	
aligned	to	theirs.

I  would  also  like  to  thank  our  leadership  team  and  all 
employees	throughout	the	Group.	A	public	listing	places	
new  demands  upon  an  organisation  and  in  particular, 
upon	 the	 leadership	 team.	 My	 fellow	 Directors	 and	 I	
believe	 that	 they	 have	 risen	 to	 the	 challenge	 and	 will	
continue	 to	 build	 and	 operate	 a	 successful	 Australian	
healthcare	entity.

OPERATING AND  
FINANCIAL REVIEW
from John Gibbs

Overview
Pacific	Smiles	Group	is	leading	the	way	in	Australia	with	a	
branded	network	approach	to	the	dental	services	industry.	
Commencing	with	three	established	dental	centres	in	2003,	
Pacific	Smiles	now	has	42	Pacific	Smiles	Dental	Centres	and	
7	nib	Dental	Care	Centres	throughout	the	eastern	states	and	
territories	of	mainland	Australia.

We provide fully serviced surgeries to independent dentists 
who  choose  to  practice  from  one  or  more  of  our  dental 
centres.	 Those	 dentists	 are	 able	 to	 devote	 their	 working	
days	to	clinical	dentistry	while	employees	of	Pacific	Smiles	
take care of everything else including all administration and 
management	of	the	dental	centres	and	the	wider	business.

Our  focus  is  on  outstanding  patient  care  and  customer 
service.	We	were	a	Net	Promoter	Score	pioneer	in	the	dental	
services industry, introducing the methodology many years 
ago	 and	 achieving	 outstanding	 results,	 including	 a	 group-
wide	 average	 score	 of	 over	 60	 in	 FY	 2015.	 	 We	 have	 a	
proprietary internal training program called APPEx®, which 
stands	for	A	Perfect	Patient	Experience.	It	is	a	compulsory	
learning	module	for	all	centre-based	employees.	

We	prefer	to	expand	via	roll-out	of	new	dental	centres	rather	
than	via	a	roll-up	of	acquired	independent	dental	practices.	
We	grow	our	network	by	developing	new	dental	centres	in	
convenient	 locations	 in	 retail	 and	 services	 hubs	 in	 urban	
and	regional	settings.

Whilst  ongoing  acquisition  of  individual  practices  is  not  a 
feature  of  our  expansion  plans,  opportunities  for  strategic 
acquisitions	are	considered	on	their	merits.	

On	21st	November	2014,	Pacific	Smiles	Group	completed	an	
IPO	and	listed	on	the	ASX.

At	 the	 close	 of	 the	 year,	 Pacific	 Smiles	 Group	 employed	
approximately  700  staff  and  provided  services  to  270 
dentists.

Operations Overview and Highlights
During 2015, we grew from 41 to 49 dental centres with eight 
new	 Pacific	 Smiles	 Dental	 Centres	 opened	 at	 Jesmond,	
Toronto, Blacktown and Narellan in NSW, Tuggeranong and 
Manuka	 in	 ACT,	 and	 Deception	 Bay	 and	 Brisbane	 CBD	 in	
QLD.

Our	roll-out	involves	the	development	of	geographic	clusters	
of	dental	centres,	so	as	Pacific	Smiles	benefits	from	ongoing	
operational	and	marketing	efficiencies	and	advantages.

Three  large  dental  centres  at  Haymarket,  Parramatta  and 
Wagga	 Wagga	 acquired	 from	 Medibank	 Private	 in	 June	
2014,	were	integrated	during	the	year	into	the	Pacific	Smiles	
Dental	 network.	 Integration	 of	 these	 dental	 centres	 was	
viewed	 from	 the	 beginning	 as	 a	 multi-year	 initiative,	 and		
solid	progress	was	made	during	the	first	year	on	a	number	of	
operational	aspects.	The	facility	at	Parramatta	will	relocate	
to	 new	 premises	 in	 September	 2015	 and	 this	 will	 further	
assist	with	ongoing	successful	progress.

Group Financial Performance
Statutory Results
The	 Group	 achieved	 statutory	 Net	 Profit	 After	 Tax	 of	 $8.4	
million,	up	by	7.8%	from	$7.8	million	in	2014.	This	result	also	
exceeded the statutory Prospectus forecast for the year of 
$7.5	million.

The	statutory	results	are	impacted	by	the	$1.4	million	after-tax	
effect	of	one-off	transaction	costs	associated	with	the	IPO.	
Further, the results include the additional costs to conduct 
the	business	as	an	ASX-listed	company	from	21	November	
2014	onwards.	These	significant	events	and	changes	during	
the reporting period make comparisons to the previous year 
more	 difficult.	 Therefore,	 further	 discussion	 of	 the	 results	
in this Operating and Financial Review focusses on the pro 
forma	results	for	2015	and	the	comparative	period.

Pro Forma Results
On	a	pro	forma	basis,	EBITDA	increased	by	25.3%	to	$18.2	
million,  exceeding  the  Prospectus  pro  forma  forecast  of 
$17.4	 million.	 Pro	 forma	 Net	 Profit	 After	 Tax	 of	 $9.7	 million	
was	 31.9%	 higher	 than	 the	 previous	 year,	 and	 8.8%	 higher	
that	the	Prospectus	pro	forma	forecast	of	$8.9	million.

The	 strong	 financial	 results	 for	 the	 year	 were	 the	 result	 of	
strong	revenue	growth,	coupled	with	steady	profit	margins.	
The Prospectus forecast anticipated that the integration of 
the	three	dental	centres	acquired	in	June	2014	would	have	
a  dampening  effect  on  the  Group’s  margins  in  2015,  so  it 
was pleasing to conclude the year with an EBITDA to Patient 
Fees	 margin	 of	 15.0%,	 compared	 to	 15.1%	 in	 the	 previous	
year.

Group	 revenue	 was	 $74.9	 million,	 which	 was	 up	 by	 26.8%	
over	the	previous	full	year.	This	revenue	consists	mainly	of	
the service fees charged to the dentists who practice from 
our	dental	centres.

Operating and Financial Review

Patient	Fees	generated	by	dentists	at	Pacific	Smiles	dental	
centres	was	$121.4	million,	up	26.6%	over	the	previous	full	
year.	 This	 increase	 in	 patient	 fees	 comprised	 same	 centre	
growth	 of	 4.3%,	 plus	 a	 substantial	 contribution	 from	 the	

three	centres	acquired	from	Medibank	Private	in	June	2014	
and	 a	 full	 year	 effect	 from	 new	 centres	 opened	 in	 2014.	
Newly	 developed	 centres	 contributed,	 although	 some	 of	
them	opened	late	in	the	financial	year.

Statutory

Pro forma

Pro	forma	adjustments	have	been	presented	on	a	consistent	
basis	 with	 the	 Prospectus	 pro	 forma	 adjustments,	 and	 are	
explained as follows:

Listed	Public	Company	Costs – An estimate of  the incremental 
full	 year	 costs	 Pacific	 Smiles	 would	 have	 incurred	 if 	 it	 had	
operated	as	a	listed	company	for	the	full	period.	

IPO Transaction Costs  –  IPO  costs  charged  as  expenses 
have	been	excluded	from	pro	forma	results.

Net Interest  –  An  adjustment  for  the  full  year  impact  on 
interest income and interest expense as if  the major IPO cash 
flows	had	taken	effect	on	opening	balances	as	at	1	July	2014.	

Income Tax Effect	–	The	tax	effects	of 	the	above	pro	forma	
adjustments	calculated	at	the	corporate	tax	rate	of 	30%.
2015

Financial Position
Pacific	Smiles	ended	the	financial	year	in	a	strong	financial	
position,	with	a	net	cash	balance	of 	$15.2	million,	improved	
from	net	debt	of 	$5.8	million	at	30	June	2014.	Proceeds	from	
the	IPO	bolstered	cash	reserves,	and	healthy	operating	cash	
flows	also	assisted.

After	paying	for	the	costs	of 	the	IPO,	net	proceeds	of 	$19.6	
million	flowed	into	the	Company.	These	funds	were	partially	
used	to	repay	$9.0	million	in	bank	debt	and	to	fund	a	special	
dividend	to	pre-IPO	shareholders	of 	$2.2	million.

The  Group  again  invested  in  expanding  its  dental  centre 
network  and  in  renewing  and  upgrading  existing  facilities, 
equipment	 and	 systems.	 Total	 capital	 expenditure	 was	 $6.7	
million,	 which	 included	 $5.2	 million	 for	 new	 dental	 centres.	
During 2015, a total of  eight new centres were opened, one 
existing centre at Gladesville NSW was relocated, and works 
were in progress at the end of  the year to relocate the large 
Parramatta	centre.

The Market
The market for dental services in Australia is  approximately 
$8.7	billion	and	this	market	has	grown	steadily	over	the	long	
term.

Drivers  of   patient  demand 
include  general  economic 
conditions	 and	 sentiment,	 income	 levels	 and	 job	 security,	
private health insurance participation rates and dental health 
and	treatment	awareness.

Demand for dental services is discretionary to the extent that 
some	treatments	and	services	may	be	delayed	or	foregone	
by	 the	 patient.	 This	 is	 more	 so	 for	 cosmetic	 and	 aesthetic	
treatments and less so for treatments required as a functional 
necessity.	Some	treatments,	such	as	dental	implants,	deliver	
both	 aesthetic	 and	 functional	 benefits	 to	 patients	 and	 this	
particular  treatment  is  generating  higher  levels  of   interest 
and	activity.

Government  funding  is  fairly  limited  compared  to  other 
sectors	 of 	 healthcare.	 The	 Commonwealth	 funds	 the	 Child	
Dental	Benefit	Scheme	and	some	partnership	arrangements	
with	the	States	and	Territories,	but	this	is	a	small	proportion	
of 	the	total	funding	of 	the	market.	

An	increase	in	the	number	of 	local	dentistry	graduates	over	
the	last	few	years	will	be	a	sustained	feature	of 	the	market.	
The expected impact is increased local competition in some 
areas	 but	 also	 a	 less	 constrained	 labour	 market	 and	 better	
access	to	dentists.			

Business Strategy
Pacific	Smiles	Group	strives	to	continue	to	create	and	build	
shareholder  value  through  the  ongoing  rollout  of   quality 
branded	 and	 fully	 serviced	 dental	 centres	 that	 exceed	 the	
expectations  of   the  dentists  who  practice  there  and  the 
patients	who	attend.

Our	 business	 growth	 will	 be	 underpinned	 by	 the	 following	
strategic activities:

We	 will	 roll-out	 eight	 to	 ten	 new	 dental	 centres	 in	 FY	
2016	 and	 will	 continue	 to	 roll-out	 in	 the	 years	 ahead.	
Via	 our	 roll-out	 we	 will	 create	 an	 expanding	 network	
of 	 accessible,	 modern,	 purpose-built	 dental	 centres	
that	offer	a	comfortable	and	enjoyable	environment	for	
patients,	dentists	and	employees.

We  will  focus  on  patient  satisfaction  levels  and 
continually  enhance  our  service  levels  to  positively 
influence	loyalty	and	retention.

We  will  work  closely  with  each  of   the  dentists  who 
practice from our dental centres to help to enhance their 
professional	satisfaction	and	practice	development.			

We will invest in and use information technology solutions 
that enhance service delivery, communications, internal 
efficiencies	and	management	information.

We	 will	 launch	 new	 and	 innovative	 brand	 marketing	
initiatives	to	build	greater	awareness	in	the	communities	
we	serve	and	to	attract	new	patients.

We	 will	 continue	 to	 collaborate	 with	 private	 health	
insurers  and  other  third  parties  to  encourage  their 
members	 or	 customers	 to	 choose	 the	 dentists	 at	 our	
centres	as	their	preferred	providers.

We  will  enhance  our  high  performance  culture 
throughout  all  areas  of   the  organisation  through  an 
emphasis  on  employee  training  and  development, 
accountability	and	reward	and	recognition.	

We  will 
governance	and	workplace	safety	for	all.

foster  a  culture  of   exceptional  clinical 

Risk Management
Pacific	Smiles	is	subject	to	various	risk	factors,	with	some	of 	
these	specific	to	its	business	activities	and	others	of 	a	more	
general	nature.	Pacific	Smiles	has	not	identified	any	specific,	
material  exposure  to  its  economic,  social  or  environmental 
sustainability	over	the	long	term.	

Pacific	 Smiles	 has	 established	 policies	 and	 structures	 for	
oversight	 and	 management	 of 	 material	 business	 risks.	
Further	information	regarding	how	Pacific	Smiles	recognises	
and manages risks is detailed in our Corporate Governance 
Statement	and	related	governance	policies	on	our	website.

Outlook
In	 FY	 2016,	 Pacific	 Smiles	 will	 continue	 its	 dual	 focus	 on	
geographic	 expansion	 and	 organic	 growth.	 A	 total	 of 	 eight	
to	ten	new	dental	centres	are	anticipated	to	be	rolled	out	in	
existing and new geographic clusters during the coming year, 
building	 upon	 our	 successful	 record	 in	 the	 establishment	
of 	 new	 centres.	 The	 pipeline	 looks	 healthy	 for	 future	 years	
beyond	FY	2016.

Patient  fees  and  revenue  growth  are  expected  to  accrue 
from	 a	 number	 of 	 new	 marketing	 initiatives	 to	 attract	 new	
patients  and  service  and  quality  enhancements  to  drive 
loyalty	amongst	the	large	patient	base	across	the	network	of 	
dental	centres.	The	large	centre	at	Parramatta,	acquired	from	
Medibank	Private	in	June	2014,	will	be	relocated	as	planned,	
to	an	excellent	new	site	in	the	Parramatta	commercial	district.

Improved	 profitability	 will	 be	 underpinned	 by	 an	 ongoing	
drive	by	management	to	realise	the	benefits	from	increasing	
scale,  streamlining  operations  and  enhancing  the  patient 
experience	across	our	centres.

We	 will	 continue	 to	 benefit	 from	 our	 strong	 balance	 sheet,	
with	 an	 expectation	 that	 future	 growth	 can	 be	 funded	
while	 maintaining	 a	 net	 cash	 position	 and	 a	 dividend	 pay-
out	ratio	in	the	range	of 	70	to	100%	of 	profit,	as	previously	
communicated.

Risk Management (continued)
The	 following	 risk	 areas	 and	 mitigating	 factors	 have	 been	
identified	by	Pacific	Smiles:

General  economic  conditions  –  downturns  in  general 
economic  conditions  could  adversely  impact  demand  for 
dental  services,  given  the  discretionary  nature  of   some  of  
those	 services.	 Dentists	 at	 Pacific	 Smiles	 dental	 centres	
provide	 a	 range	 of 	 treatments	 to	 patients	 in	 a	 number	 of 	
different geographic zones throughout the eastern states of  
Australia.	

Reduction in private health insurance coverage – a reduction 
in private health insurance coverage could impact upon the 
attendance	frequency	of 	patients.	Patients	at	Pacific	Smiles	
dental	centres	are	a	mix	of 	privately	insured	and	non-insured	
individuals	and	there	are	facilities	available	to	assist	patients	
to	pay	for	the	treatments	they	require.

Competition  induced  fee  pressure  –  an  increase  in  the 
number	 of 	 practicing	 dentists	 could	 increase	 competition	
for  patients  and  the  degree  to  which  dentists  compete  on 
the	 basis	 of 	 fee	 levels.	 Pacific	 Smiles	 centres	 are	 usually	
differentiated  from  other  local  providers  and  compete  on 
the	basis	of 	convenience,	 value,	access	and	overall	 patient	
experience.

Reputational damage	 –	 Actions	 by	 employees	 or	 dentists	
could	give	rise	to	reputational	damage	of 	Pacific	Smiles	and	
its	brands.	There	is	a	close	focus	on	internal	procedures	and	
clinical	governance	by	management	and	the	board.

Termination	of	Service	and	Facility	Agreements	by	dentists			
-	Under	the	Service	and	Facility	Agreement	between	Pacific	
Smiles and dentists, the dentists may terminate without cause, 
on	a	few	months’	notice.		Pacific	Smiles	views	the	dentists	as	
a	key	customer	group	and	focuses	resources	accordingly.

The	Nomination	and	Remuneration	Committee	is	a	committee	of 	the	Board.	It	is	primarily	responsible	for	making	recommendations	
to the Board on:

• 

the	over-arching	executive	remuneration	framework;

•  operation of  the incentive plans which apply to the senior management team, including key performance indicators 

and	performance	hurdles;

• 

• 

remuneration	packages	for	the	chief 	executive	officer,	executive	director	and	senior	management;	and

remuneration	arrangements	for	non-executive	directors.

The	committee’s	objective	is	to	ensure	that	remuneration	policies	and	structures	are	fair	and	competitive	and	aligned	with	the	
long-term	interests	of 	the	Group.

The	Nomination	and	Remuneration	Committee	Charter,	included	on	the	Company’s	website	at	http://www.pacificsmilesgroup.
com.au	provides	further	information	on	the	role	of 	this	committee.

(c) Executive remuneration policy and framework
In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:

•  competitive	and	reasonable,	enabling	the	Group	to	attract	and	retain	key	talent;

•  aligned	to	the	Group’s	strategic	and	business	objectives	and	the	creation	of 	shareholder	value;

• 

transparent;	and

•  acceptable	to	shareholders. 

The executive remuneration framework has three components:

•  base	salary	and	benefits,	including	superannuation;

•  short-term	performance	incentives	('STI')	plan;	and

•  a	long-term	equity	incentive	(‘LTI’)	plan.

Base salary and benefits
Base	 salaries	 are	 reviewed	 annually	 or	 upon	 any	 substantial	 changes	 to	 positions.	 There	 are	 no	 guaranteed	 pay	 increases	
included	 in	 any	 key	 management	 personnel	 contracts.	 Base	 salary	 includes	 any	 elected	 salary	 sacrifice	 arrangements	 as	
individually	nominated.

Base	salary	is	inclusive	of 	required	superannuation	contributions.

Short-term performance incentives
Executives	have	the	opportunity	to	earn	an	annual	short-term	incentive	(STI)	linked	to	the	achievement	of 	performance	hurdles.	
The	actual	level	of 	STI	paid	to	each	executive	is	determined	at	the	end	of 	the	financial	year	based	on	the	executives’	achievement	
of 	specific	KPIs	and	an	annual	performance	review.	Targets	are	reviewed	annually.	

The	executive	STI	plan	performance	criteria	are	summarised	below:

Achieve	Group	net	profit	before	tax	targets

Individual	performance	metrics	(financial	and	non-financial)

Maximum STI for full achievement of targets

Exceptional	performance	bonus	for	over-achievement	of 	net	profit	before	tax	target

Pacific Smiles Group   |   ANNUAL REPORT  2015Directors’ ReportFor the year ended 30 June 2015(c) Executive remuneration policy and framework (continued)
Ongoing	participation	by	executives	in	the	STI	plan	is	at	the	discretion	of 	the	Board.	With	reference	to	recommendations	from	
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the Board will approve all executive STI payments, and may use its discretion to 
adjust	STI	remuneration	up	or	down,	to	prevent	any	inappropriate	reward	outcomes.

The	 STI	 amounts	 are	 paid	 in	 cash,	 and	 are	 those	 earned	 during	 the	 financial	 year	 and	 provided	 for	 in	 the	 annual	 financial	
statements.	STI	cash	bonuses	are	generally	payable	in	September	following	the	end	of 	the	financial	year,	and	once	the	financial	
results	of 	the	year	have	been	subject	to	independent	external	audit.

Long-term equity incentives 
During	the	year,	the	Company	established	a	LTI	plan	to	assist	in	the	motivation,	retention	and	reward	of 	executives.	The	LTI	
plan	is	designed	to	align	the	interests	of 	senior	management	more	closely	with	the	interests	of 	shareholders	by	providing	an	
opportunity	for	senior	management	to	receive	an	equity	interest	in	the	Company	through	the	granting	of 	performance	rights.

Vesting	of 	the	performance	rights	granted	during	the	year	will	be	subject	to:

• 

• 

satisfaction	of 	earnings	per	share	(EPS)	performance	hurdles	(measured	using	the	2014	year	as	the	base	year)	for	the	
performance	period.	The	number	of 	performance	rights	vesting	will	be	determined	on	a	sliding	scale	from	nil	vesting	
for	an	EPS	compound	annual	growth	rate	(CAGR)	of 	15.0%	per	annum	or	less	and	100%	vesting	for	an	EPS	CAGR	of 	
25.0%	per	annum;	and		

the	participant	remaining	employed	by	Pacific	Smiles	(or	its	subsidiaries)	on	the	vesting	date,	subject	to	certain	“good	
leaver”	exemptions.

Performance	rights	that	do	not	vest	on	the	relevant	vesting	date	will	lapse.	Performance	rights	will	also	lapse	if 	total	shareholder	
return	(TSR)	does	not	reach	a	minimum	of 	10.0%	per	annum	over	the	performance	period.

In	the	event	of 	serious	misconduct	or	a	material	misstatement	in	the	Group’s	financial	statements,	the	Board	may	determine	
that	 certain	 performance-based	 remuneration	 (including	 STIs	 and/or	 LTIs)	 should	 not	 have	 been	 paid	 and	 may	 claw	 back	
performance-based	remuneration	paid	in	the	preceding	three	financial	years.

(e) Non-executive director remuneration policy
Non-executive	 directors	 receive	 fees	 reflective	 of 	 board	 roles	 and	 market	 levels.	 These	 fees	 are	 inclusive	 of 	 their	 relevant	
responsibilities	 as	 part	 of 	 the	 main	 Board	 and	 on	 the	 various	 Board	 committees.	 Fees	 are	 inclusive	 of 	 any	 applicable	
superannuation.	

These	fees	exclude	any	additional	fees	for	special	services	which	may	be	determined	from	time	to	time.	No	additional	retirement	
benefits	are	payable.	Non-executive	directors	do	not	receive	performance-based	compensation.

The	non-executive	director	fees	are	reviewed	annually	to	ensure	that	the	fees	reflect	market	rates.	There	are	no	guaranteed	
annual	increases	in	any	directors’	fees.	

Non-executive	directors	are	entitled	to	be	reimbursed	for	their	reasonable	expenses	incurred	in	connection	with	the	affairs	of 	
the	Company.	

The	constitution	of 	the	Company	provides	that	non-executive	directors	are	entitled	to	receive	compensation	for	their	services	
as	determined	by	approval	at	a	general	meeting.	The	current	directors’	fees	pool	is	an	aggregate	sum	of 	$500,000.	Any	change	
to	this	aggregate	annual	amount	is	required	to	be	approved	by	shareholders.	The	Board	may	approve	additional	remuneration	
for	special	exertions	and	additional	services	performed	by	a	director	outside	of 	the	aggregated	pool.	Remuneration	paid	to	
directors	in	their	capacity	as	employees	also	falls	outside	of 	the	aggregated	pool.

The	following	fees	(inclusive	of 	applicable	superannuation)	were	applicable	on	an	annualised	basis:

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	 public	 company	 limited	
by	 shares,	 incorporated	 and	 domiciled	 in	 Australia.	 On	 21	
November	 2014	 the	 Company	 was	 listed	 on	 the	 ASX.	 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 23, 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	20	August	2015.	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	include	asset	impairment	testing.

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	 by	 the	 Australian	 Accounting	 Standards	
Board	 that	 are	 not	 mandatory	 for	 30	 June	 2015	 reporting	
periods	and	have	not	been	adopted	early	by	the	Group.	The	
Group’s  assessment  of   the  impact  of   these  new  standards 
and	interpretations	is	set	out	below.	

AASB 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is effective 
from	1	January	2017.	The	Group	is	not	required	to	adopt	this	
new  standard  until  the  annual  reporting  period  ending  30 
June	 2017	 and	 currently	 has	 no	 intention	 of 	 adopting	 this	
standard	 earlier.	 The	 potential	 impact	 of 	 the	 standard	 has	
been	assessed	at	this	stage	as	minimal.	

There are no other such standards that are not yet effective 
and that are expected to have a material impact on the Group 
in	the	current	or	future	reporting	periods	and	on	foreseeable	
future	transactions.

(c) Basis 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	 2015	
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	entities	controlled	by	the	Group.	The	Group	
controls  an  entity  when  it  is  exposed  to,  or  has  rights  to, 
variable	returns	from	its	involvement	with	the	entity	and	has	
the	ability	to	affect	those	returns	through	its	power	over	the	
entity.	The	financial	statements	of 	subsidiaries	are	included	in	
the	consolidated	financial	statements	from	the	date	on	which	
control	commences	until	the	date	on	which	control	ceases.

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)).

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.

Pacific Smiles Group   |   ANNUAL REPORT  201530 June 2015Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements1. Summary of  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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.

Government	 subsidies	 are	 recognised	 at	 their	 fair	 value	
where	 there	 is	 reasonable	 assurance	 that	 the	 subsidy	 will	
be	 received	 and	 the	 Group	 will	 comply	 with	 all	 attached	
conditions.	

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.

(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	and	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.

30 June 2015Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements1. Summary of  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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	to	note	1(n)).

Where	 contingent	 consideration	 is	 classified	 as	 a	 financial	
liability	 and	 amounts	 are	 subsequently	 re-measured	 to	 fair	
value,	changes	in	fair	value	are	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	 at	 least	
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	 judgment	 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.	Net	realisable	value	is	the	estimated	selling	
price	less	estimated	costs	associated	with	the	sale.

(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	 	

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	(refer	to	note	1(i)).

(n) Intangible Assets
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

(n) Intangible Assets (continued)
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	(CGU)	
for	the	purpose	of 	impairment	testing.	

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	fifteen	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.	 Borrowing	
costs	are	expensed	as	incurred.

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
The	employee	benefits	provisions	cover	the	Group’s	
liability	for	employees’	annual	leave	and	long	service	leave	
entitlements.

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.

Long-term	Obligations
The	Group's	net	obligation	in	respect	of 	long-term	employee	
benefits	is	the	amount	of 	future	benefit	that	employees	have	
earned  in  return  for  their  service  in  the  current  and  prior 
periods.	 Consideration	 is	 given	 to	 expected	 future	 wage	
and  salary  levels,  experience  of   employee  departures  and 
periods	of 	service.	The	benefit	is	discounted	to	determine	its	
present	value.	Re-measurements	are	recognised	in	profit	or	
loss	in	the	period	in	which	they	arise.

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.

Share Based Payments
Share-based	compensation	benefits	are	provided	to	selected	
employees	 via	 an	 LTI	 plan	 which	 was	 established	 during	
the  period,  with  effect  from  the  Company’s  listing  on  the 
Australian	Securities	Exchange	(ASX).	Further	information	on	
the	LTI	plan	is	set	out	in	note	22.

The	 fair	 value	 of 	 performance	 rights	 granted	 under	 the	 LTI	
plan	 is	 recognised	 as	 an	 employee	 benefits	 expense	 with	
a	 corresponding	 increase	 in	 equity.	 The	 total	 amount	 to	 be	
expensed	 is	 determined	 by	 reference	 to	 the	 fair	 value	 of 	
the performance rights granted, which includes any market 
performance	 conditions	 and	 the	 impact	 of 	 any	 non-vesting	
conditions	but	excludes	the	impact	of 	any	service	and	non-
market	performance	vesting	conditions.

Non-market	 vesting	 conditions	 are	 included	 in	 assumptions	
about	 the	 number	 of 	 performance	 rights	 that	 are	 expected	
to	 vest.	 The	 total	 expense	 is	 recognised	 over	 the	 vesting	
period,	 which	 is	 the	 period	 over	 which	 all	 of 	 the	 specified	
vesting	 conditions	 are	 satisfied.	 At	 the	 end	 of 	 each	 period,	
the	 Company	 revises	 its	 estimates	 of 	 the	 number	 of 	
performance	 rights	 that	 are	 expected	 to	 vest	 based	 on	 the	
non-market	 vesting	 conditions.	 It	 recognises	 the	 impact	 of 	
the	revision	to	original	estimates,	if 	any,	in	profit	or	loss,	with	
a	corresponding	adjustment	to	equity.

(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.

Make Good Provision
The  Group  is  required  to  restore  most  leased  premises  to 
their  original  condition  at  the  end  of   the  respective  lease 
terms.	 A	 provision	 has	 been	 recognised	 for	 the	 present	
value  of   the  estimated  expenditure  required  to  remove  any 
leasehold	improvements	and	repair	any	associated	damage.	
These	 costs	 have	 been	 capitalised	 as	 part	 of 	 the	 cost	 of 	
leasehold improvements and are amortised over the shorter 
of 	the	term	of 	the	lease	or	the	useful	life	of 	the	assets.

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.

30 June 2015Notes to the ConsolidatedFinancial Statements1. Summary of  Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share
Basic	earnings	per	share	is	calculated	by	dividing:

• 

the	 profit	 attributable	 to	 owners	 of 	 the	 Company,	
excluding  any  costs  of   servicing  equity  other  than 
ordinary shares

•  by	 the	 weighted	 average	 number	 of 	 ordinary	 shares	
outstanding	during	the	financial	year,	adjusted	for	bonus	
elements	in	ordinary	shares	issued	during	the	year.

Diluted earnings per share
Diluted	 earnings	 per	 share	 adjusts	 the	 figures	 used	 in	 the	
determination	 of 	 basic	 earnings	 per	 share	 to	 take	 into	
account:

• 

• 

the	after	income	tax	effect	of 	interest	and	other	financial	
costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, 
and

the	 weighted	 average	 number	 of 	 additional	 ordinary	
shares	that	would	have	been	outstanding	assuming	the	
conversion	of 	all	dilutive	potential	ordinary	shares.

(u) 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.

(v) Rounding of  Amounts
The  Company  is  of   a  kind  referred  to  in  Class  Order 
98/100,	issued	by	the	Australian	Securities	and	Investments	
Commission,	 relating	 to	 the	 ‘rounding	 off’	 of 	 amounts	 in	
the	 directors’	 report	 and	 financial	 report.	 Amounts	 in	 the	
directors’	report	and	financial	report	have	been	rounded	off 	
to  the  nearest  thousand  dollars,  or  in  certain  cases,  to  the 
nearest	dollar.

(w) Parent Entity Financial Information
The	financial	information	for	the	parent	entity,	Pacific	Smiles	
Group	 Limited,	 disclosed	 in	 note	 32	 has	 been	 prepared	 on	
the	 same	 basis	 as	 the	 consolidated	 financial	 statements,	
except	as	set	out	below.

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.

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.

(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.

(d)  Capital Management
The	 Group’s	 objectives	 when	 managing	 capital	 are	 to	 safeguard	 its	 ability	 to	 continue	 as	 a	 going	 concern	 so	 that	 it	 can	
continue	 to	 provide	 returns	 for	 shareholders	 and	 benefits	 for	 other	 stakeholders,	 maintain	 sufficient	 financial	 flexibility	 to	
pursue	its	growth	objectives,	and	maintain	an	optimal	capital	structure	to	reduce	the	cost	of 	capital.

During	2015,	pursuit	of 	the	Group’s	capital	management	strategy	resulted	in	an	initial	public	offering	of 	the	shares	of 	Pacific	
Smiles	Group	Limited,	including	new	share	capital	issued	by	the	Company	and	the	admission	of 	the	Company	to	the	official	
list	of 	the	ASX.

Information Concerning the Classification of Shares
(i) Partly Paid Shares
Partly	paid	shares	were	fully	paid	up	by	the	date	of 	the	IPO	and	listing	of 	the	Company	on	the	ASX	on	21	November	2014.	Until	
that  time,  partly  paid  shares  carried  equal  dividend  participation  and  voting  rights  as  fully  paid  shares,  although  dividends 
were	required	to	be	first	applied	to	the	unpaid	balance	of 	the	shares.	Partly	paid	shares	have	been	included	as	ordinary	share	
equivalents	in	the	determination	of 	basic	and	diluted	earnings	per	share.

(ii) Performance Rights
Performance	 rights	 granted	 to	 employees	 under	 the	 Company’s	 long	 term	 incentive	 plan	 are	 considered	 to	 be	 potential	
ordinary  shares  and  are  only  included  in  the  determination  of   diluted  earnings  per  share  to  the  extent  to  which  they  are 
dilutive.	 The	 total	 2,137,500	 performance	 rights	 granted	 during	 the	 year	 (2014	 –	 nil)	 are	 not	 included	 in	 the	 calculation	
of 	 diluted	 earnings	 per	 share	 because	 they	 are	 contingently	 issuable	 ordinary	 shares	 and	 conditions	 were	 not	
satisfied	 at	 30	 June	 2015.	 These	 performance	 rights	 could	 potentially	 dilute	 basic	 earnings	 per	 share	 in	 the	 future. 

22. Share Based Payments

(a) Long Term Incentive Plan Overview
During	the	year,	the	Company	established	a	LTI	plan	to	assist	in	the	motivation,	retention	and	reward	of 	senior	management.	The	
LTI	plan	is	designed	to	align	the	interests	of 	senior	management	more	closely	with	the	interests	of 	shareholders	by	providing	
an	opportunity	for	senior	management	to	receive	an	equity	interest	in	the	Company	through	the	granting	of 	performance	rights.

Under	the	LTI	plan,	2,137,500	performance	rights	were	granted	to	the	executive	directors	and	certain	executives	at	the	time	of 	
the	Company’s	IPO	and	listing	on	the	ASX.	Those	performance	rights	will	vest	after	four	years	(the	performance	period),	condi-
tional	on	the	achievement	of 	relevant	performance	and	service	conditions	measured	from	the	listing	date	of 	21	November	2014	
to	30	June	2018.	Vesting	of 	the	performance	rights	will	be	subject	to:

•  satisfaction	of 	earnings	per	share	(EPS)	performance	hurdles	(measured	using	the	FY2014	year	as	the	base	year)	for	
the	performance	period.	The	number	of 	performance	rights	(PR)	vesting	will	be	determined	on	a	sliding	scale	from	nil	
vesting	for	an	EPS	CAGR	of 	15.0%	per	annum	or	less	and	100%	vesting	for	an	EPS	CAGR	of 	25.0%	per	annum;	and	

• 

the	participant	remaining	employed	by	Pacific	Smiles	(or	its	subsidiaries)	on	the	vesting	date,	subject	to	certain	“good	
leaver”	exemptions.

Performance	rights	that	do	not	vest	on	the	relevant	vesting	date	will	lapse.	Performance	rights	will	also	lapse	if 	total	shareholder	
return	(TSR)	does	not	reach	a	minimum	of 	10.0%	per	annum	over	the	performance	period.

performance	right.	The	fair	value	at	grant	date	has	been	determined	via	a	pricing	model	which	uses	a	Monte	Carlo	simulation,	
and	takes	into	account	the	term	of 	the	right	(4	years),	the	share	price	at	grant	date	(IPO	offer	price	of 	$1.30	per	share),	exercise	
price	(nil),	expected	price	volatility	of 	the	underlying	share	(30.00%),	the	expected	dividend	yield	(4.00%)	and	the	risk	free	
interest	rate	(3.64%)	for	the	term	of 	the	right.

Financial Risk Management Objectives
The	Group’s	activities	expose	it	to	a	variety	of 	financial	risks:	market	risk	(interest	rate	risk),	credit	risk	and	liquidity	risk.

The	board	has	overall	responsibility	for	the	establishment	and	oversight	of 	the	risk	management	framework,	and	is	supported	
by	the	Board	Audit	and	Risk	Management	Committee.	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	Group’s	principal	financial	instruments	during	the	2015	and	2014	financial	years	comprised	bank	bills,	bank	and	other	
loans,	and	cash.	The	main	purpose	of 	these	instruments	has	been	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.

Market Risk
The	Group’s	exposure	to	market	risk	for	changes	in	interest	rates	at	the	end	of 	the	year	related	primarily	to	cash	balances.	
The	new	share	capital	raised	via	the	Company’s	initial	public	offering	during	the	2015	financial	year	was	used	to	repay	a	bank	
bill	liability	of 	$9,000,000	outstanding	at	that	time,	and	resulting	in	only	minimal	other	bank	borrowings	outstanding	at	the	end	
of 	the	financial	year.

Cash	balances	are	held	in	a	combination	of 	short	term	fixed	interest	deposit	accounts	and	other	cheque	and	on-call	accounts	
which	attract	variable	interest	rates.	The	weighted	average	interest	rate	on	cash	balances	at	the	end	of 	the	year	was	2.23%	
(2014:	1.88%)	for	the	Group.

The	weighted	average	interest	rate	on	borrowings	at	the	end	of 	the	year	was	6.8%	(2014:	4.87%)	for	the	Group.

Credit Risk
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.

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.	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.
