MAKE SMILEYOU“I am pleased to report record network 
expansion, strong patient fees growth, 
solid underlying financial performance and 
a continued commitment to patient care 
and customer service...”

Pacific Smiles is in a strong financial position with positive 
net cash and strong cash flows. We continue to fund our 
expansion from reserves and operating cash flows and anticipate 
expansion of our network in FY 2017 by at least another ten new 
dental centres.

A final dividend of 3.5 cents per share has been declared 
in relation to FY 2016 and this will be paid in October 2016. 
Total dividends in relation to FY 2016 represented 82% of 
underlying Net Profit After Tax.

I offer a most sincere thanks to the dentists who choose to 
practice from the dental centres owned and operated by 
Pacific Smiles and to the patients who choose our centres for 
their dental care needs. Thanks also to the whole Pacific Smiles 
team, my fellow Directors, the senior leadership group, and our 
managers and employees, without whom we could not provide 
high quality service and care to patients and dentists.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Cameron AO 
Chairman 

CHAIRMAN’S
REVIEW

Reflecting on the first full financial year since listing on the 
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in November 2014, 
I am pleased to report record network expansion, strong 
patient fees growth, solid underlying financial performance 
and a continued commitment to patient care and customer 
service as the foundations of Pacific Smiles Group Limited 
(“Pacific Smiles”).

Shareholders can be assured that as we continue to expand 
our branded network and grow our business, the management 
team also constantly works to enhance the patient experience 
delivered at all our centres, new and existing. 

A record nine new dental centres were opened in FY 2016, 
demonstrating capability and appetite for continued acceleration 
in our rate of new centre roll-out. As covered in more detail in 
the Managing Director’s Review, there has been a strong focus 
on network development throughout South East Queensland, 
building upon the success of network clusters developed 
in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales. 
Results to date are very encouraging.

Patient fees were $133.8 million for the year, up 10.2% on prior 
year, underpinned in part by the successful roll-out of new centres 
but also by a 5% uplift in same-centre patient fees. This uplift 
resulted from various initiatives to attract more new patients to our 
centres, encourage regular attendances by existing patients and 
expand the range of treatments and services available.

The FY 2016 underlying EBITDA increased by 8.1% to 
$19.7 million compared with 2015 pro forma EBITDA. 
The underlying EBITDA to patient fees margin in FY 2016 was 
14.7%, slightly lower than the 15.0% (pro forma) achieved in 
2015. Key influences on this result were losses from the record 
number of new centres, additional marketing expenditure on 
new campaign initiatives and costs associated with a small 
number of key corporate hires. These impacts are detailed 
more fully later in this report but, suffice to say, Pacific Smiles 
is building a sustainable business for the long term, with the 
infrastructure and resources in place to continue to expand the 
dental centre network and grow the patient base at new and 
existing dental centres.

MANAGING 
DIRECTOR’S 
REVIEW

Overview

Pacific Smiles Group Limited (“Pacific Smiles” or “the Group”) 
owns and operates two of the leading branded dental centre 
networks in Australia, one being Pacific Smiles Dental and the 
other, nib Dental Care Centres. Network expansion is generally 
via rollout of new dental centres in convenient locations within 
busy shopping centres in Queensland, New South Wales, 
Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. Our dental centres 
are appealing and comfortable for patients and efficient and 
productive for dentists. Over many years, the model has 
been refined to enhance the attractiveness to both patients 
and dentists. 

Revenue generation at Pacific Smiles is by way of service 
fees charged to dentists who practice from the fully serviced 
surgeries at the branded dental centres. Strong patient demand 
for initial and subsequent dental services is generated through 
a range of marketing initiatives and an absolute commitment 
to outstanding patient care and customer service. Extended 
opening hours including weekends, early mornings and evenings 
enhance patient convenience.

A particular appeal of the Pacific Smiles business model to 
dentists is that they are able to devote their whole working day 
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.

At the close of the financial year, Pacific Smiles owned and 
operated 51 Pacific Smiles Dental Centres and seven nib 
Dental Care Centres. We employed approximately 800 staff 
and provided fully serviced surgeries to over 300 dentists. 

Operations Review and Highlights

Financial year 2016 was a year of record expansion and 
innovation for Pacific Smiles.

A total of nine new Pacific Smiles Dental Centres were 
added, all of which are situated in busy shopping centres and 
offer patients the valued convenience of seven-day-a-week 
appointment availability. The nine new centres were established 
in South East Queensland at Browns Plains, Burleigh Heads, 
Capalaba, Helensvale, Morayfield and Mount Ommaney, 
in Victoria at Cranbourne Park and Point Cook and in 
New South Wales at Queanbeyan.

We continue to build clusters of dental centres in targeted 
geographic regions to realise efficiencies and benefits in regional 
management, centre staffing and dentist schedules and in key 
marketing activities. Focused cluster expansion in Brisbane and 
on the Gold Coast was successfully executed during financial 
year 2016, following on from similarly focused activity in previous 
years in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales 
and Victoria. 

Two large dental centres acquired from Medibank Private and 
rebranded as Pacific Smiles Dental Centres in 2014 were 
relocated during the year. Pacific Smiles Dental, Parramatta 
and Pacific Smiles Dental, Haymarket (now Pacific Smiles 
Dental, Town Hall), were relocated in September 2015 and 
June 2016 respectively.

Online appointments

Online appointment booking 
facilities were introduced 
for Pacific Smiles Dental 
and nib Dental Care 
Centres during FY 2016. 
Via pacificsmilesdental.com.au 
and nibdental.com.au, patients 
can easily search availability 
with their preferred centre 

and dentist for convenient 
appointment times. New 
and existing patients 
have embraced this new 
functionality. Online bookings 
now feature prominently 
in marketing and patient 
communications collateral.

The relocations were important in the ongoing program of 
performance improvement of these centres, a multi-year 
undertaking that commenced in June 2014. While these two 
centres have not performed to expectations, the wider benefit 
of the acquisition arrangements, being the exclusive provision 
of no-gap check-up services to eligible ahm members across 
the whole Pacific Smiles Dental network, has helped to underpin 
patient volume growth. 

A number of key innovations were introduced during the year 
to promote patient awareness and patient experience. Chief 
among these was the introduction of an online appointment 
booking facility in combination with new websites for both the 
Pacific Smiles Dental Centres and the nib Dental Care Centres. 
Existing and new patients have embraced the online booking 
service to an extent that has exceeded our expectations.

Awareness of the Pacific Smiles Dental Centres was enhanced 
via a unique loyalty partnership with Velocity Frequent Flyer to 
provide Velocity points for regular dental check-ups. The carefully 
designed loyalty program effectively rewards patients for their 
commitment to good oral health.

Wider community awareness in a number of key markets was 
sought through a multi-channel brand marketing campaign 
which included television, radio and cinema advertisements plus 
a digital marketing program. These campaigns will be continued 
into the new financial year.

To support the accelerated rollout of new dental centres and the 
introduction of a range of new marketing and patient experience 
initiatives, a number of key corporate appointments were made 
in the important areas of Business Development, People & 
Culture and Information & Communication Technology, bolstering 
these key areas and increasing the capacity to drive meaningful 
differentiation and enhanced competitive advantage.

MANAGING 
DIRECTOR’S 
REVIEW

Statutory Results

The Group achieved statutory Net Profit After Tax of $9.9 million, 
up by 18.5% from $8.4 million in 2015. 

During 2016, the statutory results were impacted by significant 
once-off costs associated with two major Dental Centre 
relocations. The 2015 statutory results were impacted 
by the $1.4 million after-tax effect of once-off transaction 
costs associated with the IPO. Further, the 2015 results 
included the additional costs to conduct the business as 
an ASX-listed company from 21 November 2014 onwards. 
The previous table sets out these adjustments between 
statutory, underlying and pro forma net profit in 2016 and 2015. 
These significant events and changes during each reporting 
period make comparisons to the previous year more difficult. 
Therefore, further discussion of the results in this Managing 
Director’s Review focuses on the underlying and pro forma 
results for 2016 and the comparative period.

Underlying and Pro Forma Results

Underlying EBITDA increased by 8.1% to $19.7 million 
compared with 2015 pro forma EBITDA. Underlying Net 
Profit After Tax of $10.2 million was 4.5% higher than the 
previous year.

Group revenue was $83.3 million, up by 11.3% over the 
previous financial year. This revenue consists mainly of the 
service fees charged to the dentists who practice from our 
dental centres, and is calculated with reference to the patient 
fees they generate.

Patient fees generated by dentists at the Group’s dental 
centres were $133.8 million, up 10.2% over the previous year. 
This increase in patient fees comprised same centre growth of 
5.0%, plus a full year effect from new centres opened in 2015 
and part-year impact of new centre openings in 2016, although 
several of those opened late in the financial year.

Pacific Smiles remains committed to building a platform for long 
term sustainable growth, which is expected to support improving 
profit margins over time. The Group’s underlying EBITDA to 
patient fees margin in 2016 of 14.7% was slightly lower than 
the 15.0% (pro forma) achieved in 2015. Very strong growth 

8 | PACIFIC SMILES GROUP

in revenues and profitability was recorded in the majority of the 
Group’s dental centres. Offsetting the many outstanding 
dental centre performances, the key drivers of the lower 
margin included:

 – Start up losses from new centres – Pacific Smiles’ dental 

centres are typically not profitable in the first year of operation. 
Pacific Smiles accelerated the rate at which it opens new 
dental centres from 2015, opening eight new centres 
in FY 2015 and a further nine new centres in FY 2016. 
Centres opened in 2015 showed improved trading results 
in the second half of FY 2016, and the 2016 new openings 
have performed above expectations. However, this higher 
concentration of new centres has been dilutive to Group 
profitability in the short term.

 – Marketing expenses – Expenditure on marketing increased by 
$0.5 million compared with the previous year, partly reflecting 
the increased number of new centre launch and support 
marketing activities, as well as innovative new marketing 
initiatives such as the Velocity Frequent Flyer arrangements 
and a multi-channel brand campaign. Each of these new 
initiatives involved some costs in production and launch 
which are expected to benefit future periods.

 – Corporate resources – Several key senior appointments 
were made to lead Group functions including Business 
Development, People & Culture and Information & 
Communication Technology, deepening the Group’s 
management expertise in these areas which are critical to 
the growth plans.

Financial Position

Pacific Smiles ended the financial year in a strong financial 
position, with a net cash balance of $6.0 million.

The cash reserves established by the Group’s IPO in FY 2015, 
combined with healthy operating cash flows, were applied 
to expand the dental centre network and in renewing and 
upgrading existing facilities, equipment and systems. Total capital 
expenditure was $14.2 million, which included $7.5 million for 
new dental centres and a total of $4.6 million to complete the 
new facilities for the two major dental centre relocations. 

Once again, Pacific Smiles increased ordinary dividends with 
$8.1 million paid to shareholders compared with $5.9 million in 
ordinary dividends in 2015 (excluding the $2.2 million paid in 
2015 in the form of a pre IPO special dividend). After considering 
the final dividend declared of 3.5 cents per share in relation 
to FY 2016, which will be paid in October 2016, the dividend 
payout increased to 82% of underlying Net Profit After Tax 
(2015 was 78% of pro forma Net Profit After Tax).

The Market

The market for dental services in Australia is approximately 
$9 billion per annum 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.

Direct government funding for dental services is limited 
compared to other sectors of healthcare. The Commonwealth 
currently funds the Child Dental Benefit Schedule and some 
partnership arrangements with the States and Territories, but 
this is a small proportion of the total funding of the market and 
a small proportion of the fees billed by dentists practicing from 
Pacific Smiles’ dental centres. 

An increase in the number of Australian 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. 

Queensland expansion

Queensland was a strong 
focus of the new centre 
roll-out in FY 2016. Six of 
the nine new Pacific Smiles 
Dental centres were located 
in South East Queensland, 
growing the number of centres 
there from four to ten. All 
new FY 2016 centres were 

rolled out according to a 
successful formula – located 
in busy shopping centres, 
modern shopfronts, extended 
operating hours, participation 
in a range of private health 
insurance and government 
programs and innovative 
launch marketing.

Business Strategy

Pacific Smiles strives to continue to create and grow 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 at least ten new dental centres per annum in 
the years ahead. Via our rollout 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 technology solutions that enhance 
service delivery, communications, internal efficiencies and 
management information.

 – We will launch new and innovative 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 foster a culture of exceptional clinical governance and 

workplace safety for all.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | 9

MANAGING 
DIRECTOR’S 
REVIEW

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. 

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 – changes to 
the nature or extent of 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 payment options 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’ dental 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 to Pacific Smiles and its brands. 
There is a close focus on internal procedures and clinical 
governance by management and the Board.

10 | PACIFIC SMILES GROUP

Termination of Service and Facility Agreements by dentists 
– Under the Service and Facility Agreements 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.

Outlook

In FY 2017, Pacific Smiles will continue its dual focus on 
geographic expansion and organic growth. At least 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 of opportunities looks healthy for FY 2017 and beyond.

Revenue growth and 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.

With a relentless focus on patient care and the patient 
experience, supported by convenient locations, extended 
operating hours and innovative marketing, Pacific Smiles 
expects to continue to win market share in established 
and new geographic clusters. 

The increased number of dentists practicing in Australia will 
continue to improve the attractiveness of the Pacific Smiles 
model, allowing them to establish a clinical practice without 
the upfront investment in a facility.

John Gibbs

Matters Subsequent to the End of the Financial Year

Other than the declaration of a final dividend subsequent to the end of the financial year, no other matter or circumstance has arisen 
since 30 June 2016 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

a.  the Group’s operations in future financial years, or

b.  the results of those operations in future financial years, or

c.  the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely Developments and Expected Results of Operations

The Group will continue to pursue opportunities to enhance the growth and prosperity of its business. The Managing Director’s 
Review accompanying this report provides further detail. Further information on likely developments in the operations of the Group 
and the expected results of operations have not been included in this annual financial report because the directors believe it would 
be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Environmental Regulation

The Group’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation.

Insurance of Officers and Auditors

During the financial year, the Group paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the directors and officers of the Group against 
liability incurred as such a director or officer, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to the Group, to the extent 
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of 
the premium. No such insurance contracts entered into by the Group apply to insure auditors of the Group.

b.  Remuneration governance
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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | 17

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2016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 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

Total maximum STI 

% of 
Base Salary

Up to 12.5%

Up to 7.5%

Up to 20.0%

Up to 15.0%

Up to 35.0%

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.

18 | PACIFIC SMILES GROUP

DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2016Long-term equity incentives 
The Group has 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.

Performance rights have been issued to selected senior managers pursuant to the LTI plan in financial years 2016 and 2015.

Vesting of the performance rights on issue are subject to:

 – satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for a four year 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 Group (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 relevant 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 $600,000. 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.

28 | PACIFIC SMILES GROUP

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS For the year ended 30 June 2016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 Level 1, 6 Molly Morgan 
Drive, Greenhills, New South Wales.

A description of the nature of the consolidated entity’s operations and its principal activities is included in the Directors’ Report on 
pages 13 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 18 August 2016. 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 2016 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 for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. 
The Group is not required to adopt this new standard until the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2019 and currently has no 
intention of adopting this standard earlier. The potential impact of the standard has been assessed at this stage as minimal. 

AASB 16 Leases is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group is not required to adopt 
this new standard until the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2020 and currently has no intention of adopting this standard 
earlier. The Group is assessing the potential impact of the application of AASB 16 on its financial statements, including the potential 
impact of the various transition provisions available to the Group. On a high level basis, if the Group was to adopt AASB 16 as at 
30 June 2016, the present value of the future minimum lease payments for non-cancellable operating leases as noted in note 25(b) 
would be recognised as a financial liability in the consolidated balance sheet, and under one of the transition provisions available to 
the Group, it would recognise a corresponding amount as a right-of-use asset. 

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | 29

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the year ended 30 June 20161.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

b.  Basis of Preparation (continued)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is not 
required to adopt this new standard until the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2019 and currently has no intention of adopting 
this standard earlier. It includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected 
credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. The potential 
impact of the standard has yet to be assessed, but the impact is expected to be 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 2016 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.

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.

30 | PACIFIC SMILES GROUP

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2016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.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | 31

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 20161.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

i.  Impairment of Assets (continued)

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 are 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 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 groups of cash-generating units 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 15 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. 

32 | PACIFIC SMILES GROUP

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2016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 a Long Term Incentive plan (LTI plan) which was 
established during the previous financial year, with effect from the Company’s listing on the 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 their 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.

Restructuring
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the 
restructuring has either commenced or has been announced. Future operating losses are not provided for.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016 | 33

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2016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 ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 (Rounding 
instrument). Pursuant to this instrument, 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
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.

were paid as dividends.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 201612.  Intangible Assets (continued)

The impairment assessments for each CGU are made on the basis of the assets’ expected value in use and involve the use of key 
assumptions. Recoverable amounts of the CGUs exceeded their carrying values, and therefore no impairment losses were recorded 
in the year.

The calculations use discounted cash flow projections covering a ten year period, which is consistent with the typical lease term 
entered into for the Group’s dental centre locations. The cash flows for years one to five are based on detailed management 
projections, which consider historical financial results and trends, the Board-approved financial budget for the next financial year 
and reasonable expectations regarding future business and market circumstances. Cash flows beyond the first five year period are 
extrapolated using an estimated growth rate. 

A longer-term growth rate of 2.5% is used in determining the terminal values, which is considered reasonable in the context of the 
long term growth rates for the markets in which each CGU operates.

Future cash flows are discounted using the Group’s weighted average cost of capital of 9.7% (2015: 10.0%).

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 – 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. 

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 
4,312,500 performance rights on issue 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 2016. These performance rights could 
potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

22.  Share Based Payments

a.  Long Term Incentive Plan Overview
The Group has 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.

Performance rights have been issued to selected senior managers pursuant to the LTI plan in financial years 2016 and 2015. 

The performance rights will vest for a set term (the performance period), and are conditional on the achievement of relevant 
performance and service conditions. Vesting of the performance rights will be subject to:

 – satisfaction of earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdles for a four year 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 Group (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 relevant performance period.

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 2016 and 2015 financials 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 2016 and 
2015 financial years.

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 1.36% (2015: 2.23%) 
for the Group.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at the end of the year was 6.8% (2015: 6.8%) for the Group.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDFor the year ended 30 June 2016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. The Group’s balance sheet shows an excess of current liabilities over current 
assets at balance date of $1,778,556. Liabilities have been classified as current where it is probable that they will be settled within 
twelve months or if there is a contractual obligation that may require settlement within twelve months, regardless of how likely 
settlement under contractual arrangements is judged to be. The Group’s current assets, available financing facilities, and ongoing 
positive operating cash flows continue to be sufficient to satisfy all payment obligations within the timeframes required.

DIRECTORS’ DECLARATIONIndependent auditor’s report to the members of Pacific Smiles Group Limited

Report on the financial report 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Pacific Smiles Group Limited (the 
“Company”), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2016, and 
consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended on 
that date, notes 1 to 32 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other 
explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the Company 
and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year. 

Directors’ responsibility for the financial report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the 
Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to 
enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due 
to fraud or error. In note 1(b), 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 
engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial 
report is free from material misstatement.  

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

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report 
presents fairly, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting 
Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Group’s 
financial position and of their performance.  

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