CHAIRMAN’S AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S OVERVIEW

In the 2013 financial year, 
PPK Group Limited (PPK) has 
continued the trend of improving 
its earnings, profit and dividend 
payout. 

JURY WOWK 
CHAIRMAN

GLENN MOLLOY 
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

In FY2013, PPK has:

•	

recorded a profit after tax attributable to members of 
$2.383 million compared to $1.543 million in FY2012 
(up 54%); and

•	 paid a total dividend of 3.5 cents per share fully franked 
compared to 1.0 cents per share fully franked in FY2012. 

Three of PPK’s divisions, Industrial Properties, Property 
Development and Financing performed extremely well 
whilst the fourth, Rambor – Mining Services performed 
admirably in what was a difficult year for mining services 
businesses. 

Industrial Properties 
PPK has continued to manage its remaining three 
industrial properties located at Arndell Park, Seven Hills 
and Dandenong South. All three properties are now 
fully leased to strong established tenants and provide 
a full rental return and strong cash flow.

The Arndell Park and Seven Hills properties are subject to 
options to purchase by the existing tenants providing a 
prospect that each of these properties may be sold within 
the next 12 to 18 months. 

Property Development
PPK has continued its investment and involvement in 
the “Kiah” Willoughby project in which PPK holds an 
18.28% interest. 

Sales of all 14 homes in Stage 1 have proceeded to 
completion. 13 sales were completed in December 2012. 
The sale of the 14th home (which was retained as an 
exhibition home) settled in September 2013. PPK’s share of 
the profit from the sale of the 13 Stage 1 homes contributed 
to FY2013 earnings. 

Construction of the 16 homes in Stage 2 (which 
have all been sold) will be completed in October/
November 2013. All 16 sales are scheduled to settle 
prior to 31 December 2013 and will provide a healthy 
contribution to FY2014 earnings. 

Development approvals and funding are in place for the 
construction of the remaining 46 homes in Stages 3, 4 
and 5. 18 of the homes have been presold for a total of 
$34,752,500 in pre-sales. Construction has commenced on 
the Stage 3 homes. On completion of the infrastructure 
works for Stages 4 and 5, early in the 2014 calendar year, 
work will commence on the Stage 4 and 5 homes.

PPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTThe Kiah Willoughby project continues to set new 
benchmarks in quality and selling prices and is on track 
to deliver profits as forecast in FY2014 and FY2015. 

PPK has continued it’s lead role in the Nerang Street 
Southport Project Trust (Trust) which in August 2013 
completed the acquisition of an adjoining property for a 
part cash and party equity consideration. This has reduced 
PPK’s equity interest in the Trust entity from 25% to 18.74% 
but has provided the Trust with a larger development site 
in a key location with improved development potential. 

The Trust participants are now reviewing the alternatives 
of either on selling the property as is, or preparing and 
lodging a development application and then, either 
proceeding with a development of the property or on 
sale with a development approval. 

The Easy Living Unit Trust (ELUT) and Easy Living 
(Bundaberg) Unit Trust (ELBUT) continue to own and lease 
out the 60 unit retirement village in Elizabeth Vale, South 
Australia and 54 unit retirement village in Bundaberg, 
Queensland. Both ELUT and ELBUT have made, and will 
continue to make positive contributions to PPK earnings 
until such time as each of the villages are either sold in line 
or strata titled and resold as strata titled units. The on sale/
resale of the villages is anticipated within the next 12 to 
15 months. 

Financing
The significant first Mortgage secured loans made to:

•	

•	

 Supported Living on Tweed Pty Ltd by the SLOT Loan 
Trust (in which PPK holds a 51.4% interest); and

 TMD Investments Pty Ltd, a member of the SubZero 
Group, a leading mining services provider in the Hunter 
Valley by the TMD Loan Trust (in which PPK holds a 
100% interest); 

continue to provide high level interest returns. 

Each of the borrowers are currently in the process of 
arranging repayment of their loans by either sale or 
refinancing of the security properties. 

Rambor – Mining Services
Rambor has continued its success and reputation as a 
leading manufacturer and supplier of mining equipment to 
the coal industry and remains a credit to its management 
team and their dedicated work force. 

Like all mining services providers Rambor experienced 
a slow down in sales and a reduced profit in the current 
difficult environment for all mining services businesses. 
However, earnings improved in the second half of FY2013 
and Rambor made a significant contribution in pre-tax 
profit for the full year.

Projections are for an improved performance in FY2014 
as Rambor leverages off:

•	

its technical expertise; and 

•	 unique engineering services offering;

to deliver cost and efficiency improvements to mining 
companies for whom these are critical factors in the 
current environment.

Net Assets, Dividends and Forecast
Present indications are for a continuing steady 
improvement in earnings in FY2014. 

The value of assets owned by PPK has shown an 
improvement and PPK’s net assets value is in the range 
of $0.70 cents to $0.75 cents per share. This net asset 
value per share is based on a calculation which takes into 
account the current market value of PPK’s assets as distinct 
from the book value reflected in the Financial Statements. 

The Directors are continuing to work on realising full value 
for the PPK assets and providing an improved dividend 
flow, share price and ultimate return for our shareholders.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES – 2013

Approach to Corporate Governance and

set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (“ASX 
Recommendations”) in the reporting period.

and copies of its policies are available in the designated 
corporate governance area of its website at 
www.ppkgroup.com.au

PRINCIPLE 1:  Lay solid foundations for 
management and oversight
Companies should establish and disclose the respective 
roles and responsibilities of board and management.

Recommendation 1.1:  Companies should establish the 
functions reserved to the board and those delegated to 
senior executives and disclose those functions.

The Board has formalised its roles and responsibilities into 
a Charter. The Board Charter clearly defines the matters 
that are reserved for the Board and those that the Board 
has delegated to management.

In summary, the responsibilities of the PPK Board include:

•	 oversight of the Company, including its control and 

accountability systems;

•	

•	

•	

•	

•	

setting the Company’s major goals including the 
strategies and financial objectives;

appointing, removing and controlling the Executive 
Director;

the appointment and, where appropriate, the removal 
of the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and/or Company 
Secretary;

input into and final approval of the corporate strategy 
and performance objectives;

approving systems of risk management and internal 
compliance and control, codes of conduct and legal 
compliance;

•	 monitoring senior management’s performance 

and implementation of strategy, and ensuring that 
appropriate resources are available;

•	

•	

•	

approving and monitoring the progress of major capital 
expenditure, capital management, and acquisitions and 
divestitures;

approving and monitoring financial and other 
reporting; and

corporate governance.

The Board has delegated responsibility to the Executive 
Director for:

•	 developing and implementing corporate strategies 

and making recommendations on significant corporate 
strategic initiatives;

•	 maintaining an effective risk management framework 
and keeping the Board and market fully informed 
about material risks;

•	 developing PPK’s annual budget, recommending it 
to the Board for approval and managing day-to-day 
operations within the budget;

•	 managing day-to-day operations in accordance with 
standards for social and ethical practices which have 
been set by the Board.

Recommendation 1.2:  Companies should disclose 
the process for evaluating the performance of 
senior executives.

The Board is responsible for approving the performance 
objectives and measures for the Executive Director and 
assessing whether these objectives have been satisfied 
by the performance of the Executive Director during the 
relevant period and in accordance with agreed terms 
of engagement.

The Executive Director is responsible for approving the 
performance objectives and measures of other senior 
executives in consultation with the Board. The Board 
provides input into the evaluation of performance by senior

means of scrutiny by the Board of regular monthly reports

performance and forecasted results, presentations 
and operational reports, and the achievement of 
predetermined performance objectives.

Recommendation 1.3:  Provide the information 
indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1.

Companies should have a board of an effective 
composition, size and commitment to adequately 
discharge its responsibilities and duties.

PRINCIPLE 3:  Promote ethical and responsible 
decision-making.
Companies should actively promote ethical and 
responsible decision-making.

Recommendation 2.1: A majority of the board should 
be independent directors.

The PPK is comprised of 4 directors or whom Mr Jury Wowk, 
Mr Ray Beath and Mr Glenn Webb are considered to be 
independent directors.

Mr Glenn Molloy is an executive director and accordingly 
is not considered to be independent director.

Recommendation 2.2:  The chair should be an 
independent director.

The Chairman Mr Jury Wowk, is considered to be an 
independent director.

Recommendation 2.3:  The roles of chair and chief 
executive officer should not be exercised by the

Recommendation 2.4:  The board should establish 
a nomination committee.

committee. Where a vacancy arises or it is considered 
appropriate to vary the composition of the Board of 
Directors, the full Board generally participates in any 
review of the Board’s composition and the qualifications 
and experience of candidates. Directors are selected upon 
the basis of their specialist skills and business background 
so as to provide an appropriate mix of skills, perspective 
and business experience.

Recommendation 2.5:  Disclose the process for 
evaluating the performance of the board, its committees 
and individual directors

The Board has adopted an on-going, self-evaluation 
process to measure its own performance and the 
performance of its committee and individual directors.

The Chairman meets periodically with individual directors 
to discuss the performance of the Board and the director. 
In addition, an evaluation is undertaken by the Chairman 
of the contribution of directors retiring by rotation prior to 
the Board endorsing their candidature.

The review process involves consideration of all of the 
Board’s key areas of responsibility and accountability and is 
based on an amalgamation of factors including capability, 
skill levels, understanding of industry complexities, risks 
and challenges, and value adding contribution to the 
overall management of the business.

Recommendation 2.6:  Provide the information included 
in the Guide to reporting on Principle 2.

The Company has provided this information.

Recommendation 3.1:  Establish a code of conduct and 
disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the:
•	 practices necessary to maintain confidence in the 

company’s integrity;

•	 practices necessary to take into account their legal 
obligations and the reasonable expectations of 
shareholders; and

•	

responsibility and accountability of individuals for 
reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

The Board has approved a Code of Conduct and Ethics 
which applies to all directors, executives, management and 
employees without exception. In addition, the conduct 
of directors and executives is also governed by Code of 
Conduct for Directors and Executives. In summary, the 
Code provides that directors and senior executives must:

•	

act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of 
the Company;

•	 use due care, skill and diligence in the fulfilling 

their duties;

•	 use the powers of their position for a proper purpose, 

in the interests of the Company;

•	 not make improper use of information acquired in 

their position;

•	 not allow personal interests, or those of associates, 

conflict with the interests of the Company;

•	 exercise independent judgement and actions;

•	 maintain the confidentiality of company information 

acquired by virtue of their position;

•	 not engage in conduct likely to bring discredit to the 

Company; and

•	

comply at all times with both the spirit and the letter of 
the law, as well as, policies of the Company.

In addition, PPK has developed a series of policies designed 
to promote ethical and responsible decision making by 
directors, executives, employees and contractors of the 
Company, including:

•	

Trading Policy;

•	 Market Disclosure Policy;

•	 Privacy Policy;

PRINCIPLE 4:  Safeguard integrity of financial 
reporting.

and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting.

Recommendation 4.1:  The Board should establish an 
audit committee.

of the board;

•	 has at least three (3) members.

consisted of two members, both of whom are non-executives:

•	 Mr Ray Beath (Committee Chairman)

•	 Mr Jury Wowk.

During the reporting period, the PPK Audit Committee was 
chaired by Mr Beath who was not Chairman of the Board.

Due to the size of the Company and the nature of its 
operations the Board considers that an Audit Committee 
comprised of two members is appropriate.

Recommendation 4.3:  The audit committee should 
have a formal charter.

The Board has established Terms of Reference for the 
Audit Committee. The Terms of Reference set out in detail 
the purpose, composition and membership, meeting 
procedures, roles and responsibilities of the committee and

action in relation to employees found to have behaved 
contrary to legal and company standard requirements.

RECOMMENDATION 3.2:  Companies should establish 
a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy 
or a summary of that policy. The policy should include 
requirements for the board to establish measurable 
objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board 
to assess annually both the objectives and progress in 
achieving them.

which is available on the Company’s website.

RECOMMENDATION 3.3:  Companies should disclose 
in each annual report the measurable objectives 
for achieving gender diversity set by the board in

an annual basis to ensure that they adequately focus on 
the participation of women in the workforce.

Women are considered for all positions in the Company

as and when opportunities or vacancies arise.

The Company aims to achieve gender diversity based 
on merit across all levels of its organisation subject to 
organisational capacity. 

RECOMMENDATION 3.4:   Companies should disclose in 
each annual report the proportion of women employees

•	

•	

recognises that effective management of risk is an 
integral part of good management and vital to the

the Executive Director, retained consultants and senior 
management on emerging or developed trends in market

effectively in all material respects in relation to financial 
reporting risks.

The Board has received such written assurances from the 
Executive Director and the person performing the chief 
financial officer function in respect of the year ended 
30 June 2013.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in its risk 
management role by reviewing the financial and reporting

Principle 7.

control and management of operational risk and the 
implementation of avoidance or mitigation measures 
within the group and may delegate control of these risks 
to the appropriate level of management at each site.

The Board regularly monitors the operational and financial 
performance of the Company and the economic entity 
against budget and other key performance measures. 
The Board also receives and reviews advice on areas of 
operational and financial risk and develops strategies, in 
conjunction with management, to mitigate those risks.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES – 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTA review of the compensation arrangements for the 
Executive Director and senior executives is conducted on 
a regular basis by the full Board and is based on criteria 
including the individual’s performance, market rates paid 
for similar positions and the results of the Company during 
the relevant period.

The broad remuneration policy objective of PPK is to 
ensure that the emoluments provided properly reflect 
the person’s duties and responsibilities and is designed 
to attract, retain and motivate executives of the highest 
possible quality and standard in the Company’s prevailing 
circumstances to enable the organisation to succeed.

The PPK Executive Incentive Plan (“PEIS”) has been 
approved by shareholders and provides the Board with the 
discretion to grant options and provide loans to Eligible 
Executives (as defined under the PEIS) for the purpose of 
acquiring Scheme Shares under the PEIS.

Recommendation 8.4:  Companies should provide the 
information indicated in the Guide to reporting on 
Principle 8.

The Company has provided this information where 
appropriate.

PRINCIPLE 8:  Remunerate fairly and 
responsibly.  Companies should ensure that 
the level and composition of remuneration 
is sufficient and reasonable and that its 
relationship to performance is clear.

Recommendation 8.1:  The Board should establish a 
remuneration committee.

Recommendation 8.2:  The remuneration committee 
should be structured so that it:

•	

•	

consists of a majority of independent directors;

is chaired by an independent director; and

•	 has at least three members.

The PPK Board has not established a formal Remuneration 
Committee as PPK is a relatively small publicly listed 
company and remuneration matters relating to the 
Executive Director and Senior Executives are considered 
by the full Board where appropriate.

Recommendation 8.3:  Companies should clearly 
distinguish the structure of non-executive directors’ 
remuneration from that of executive directors and 
senior executives.

The aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors is 
approved by shareholders.

Individual directors’ remuneration is determined by the 
board within the approved aggregate total.

In determining the appropriate level of director’s fees, data 
from surveys undertaken of other public companies similar 
in size or market section to PPK is taken into account.

Non-executive directors of PPK are:

•	 not entitled to participate in performance based 
remuneration practices unless approved by 
shareholders; and

•	

currently remunerated by means of the payment of 
cash benefits in the form of directors’ fees.

PPK does not currently have in place a retirement benefit 
scheme or allowance for its non-executive directors.

Executive directors do not receive directors’ fees.

Remuneration Report (audited)
The Directors of PPK present the Remuneration 
Report for non-executive directors, executive directors 
and other key management personnel, prepared in 
accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the 
Corporations Regulations 2001.

Remuneration Policy
The remuneration policy of the Company has been 
designed to align director and executive objectives with 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed 
remuneration component and offering specific short-term 
incentives based on key performance areas affecting the 
consolidated entity’s financial results. 

The PPK Board believes the remuneration policy to be 
appropriate and effective in its ability to attract, retain 
and motivate directors and executives of high quality and 
standard to manage the affairs of the consolidated entity, 
as well as, create goal congruence between directors, 
executives and shareholders.

The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions 
for directors, executives and management was developed 
by the Board. The policy for determining the nature and 
amount of remuneration for board members and senior 
executives of the consolidated entity is detailed in the 
paragraphs which follow.

Remuneration of non-executive directors is determined 
by the Board from the maximum amount available for 
distribution to the non-executive directors as approved by 
shareholders. Currently this amount is set at $275,000 per 
annum in aggregate as approved by shareholders at the 
2003 Annual General Meeting. 

In determining the appropriate level of directors’ fees, 
data from surveys undertaken of other public companies 
similar in size or market section to the Company is taken 
into account. 

Non-executive directors are remunerated by means 
of cash benefits. They are not entitled to participate 
in performance based remuneration practices unless 
approved by shareholders. The Company will not generally 
use options as a means of remuneration for non-executive 
directors and will continue to remunerate those directors 
by means of cash benefits. 

PPK does not provide retirement benefits for its non-
executive directors. Executive directors do not receive 
director’s fees.

16

The Board of Directors is responsible for approving 
remuneration policies and packages applicable to senior 
executives of the Company. The broad remuneration 
policy is to ensure that the remuneration package properly 
reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that the 
remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and 
motivating people of high quality and standard.

A review of the compensation arrangements for executive 
directors and senior executives is conducted by the full 
Board at a duly constituted Directors’ meeting.

The Board conducts its review annually based on 
established criteria which includes:

•	

•	

•	

•	

the individual’s performance;

reference to market data for broadly comparable 
positions or skill sets in similar organisations or 
industry;

the performance of the Company or consolidated 
entity during the relevant period; and

the broad remuneration policy of the consolidated entity.

Senior executives and executive directors may receive 
bonuses based on the achievement of specific goals of the 
consolidated entity.

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth 
and Directors and Executives Remuneration
The Remuneration Policy has been designed to achieve 
the goal congruence between shareholders, directors and 
executives. 

The two methods employed in achieving this aim are:

•	

•	

 a performance based bonus for executives based on 
key performance indicators (KPI’s) which include a 
combination of short-term financial and non-financial 
indicators; and/or

the issue of options to executives as a means of long-
term incentive to encourage the alignment of personal 
and shareholder interests. 

There were no options issued to directors or executives 
during the year and no bonus payments were made to key 
management personnel in respect of the 2013 financial year.

The Board considers that the existing remuneration 
arrangements regarding executives are appropriate in the 
Company’s prevailing circumstances to achieve the desired 
objectives of its Remuneration Policy.

These policy measures are chosen as they directly align the 
individual’s reward to the KPI’s of the consolidated entity 
and to its strategy and performance. 

The Company considers this policy is an effective means 
of maintaining shareholder wealth and in retaining quality 
employees committed to the long term objectives of 
the Company.

Recommendations”), the Company is required to disclose 
in its Annual Report the extent of its compliance with the 
ASX Recommendations.

PPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTNOTE 1   STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Corporate Information
The financial statements of PPK Group Limited for the 
year ended 30 June 2013 were authorised for issue 
in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 
24 September 2013 and covers PPK Group Limited and 
its subsidiaries as required by the Corporation Act 2001. 
Separate financial statements for PPK Group Limited as an 
individual entity are no longer presented as a consequence 
of a change to the Corporations Act 2001, however, limited 
financial information for PPK Group Limited is provided as 
an individual entity in Note 8.

PPK Group Limited is a company limited by shares, 
incorporated in Australia. Its shares are publicly traded 
on the Australian Securities Exchange.

PPK Group Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose 
of preparing the financial statements.

New and amended standards adopted by 
the group

AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Presentation of Items of Other 
Comprehensive Income (Applies annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012). 

AASB 2011-9 requires entities to group items presented 
in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on the basis of 
whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or 
loss subsequently, and changes the title of ‘statement of 
comprehensive income’ to ‘statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income’.

The adoption of the new and revised Australian 
Accounting Standards and Interpretations has had no 
significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies or 
the amounts reported during the current half-year period. 
The adoption of AASB 2011-9 has resulted in changes to 
the Group’s presentation of its financial statements.

(a)  Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial 
statements which have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards and other authorative 
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by 
The International Accounting Standards Board. The financial 
statements have been prepared on an accruals basis 
and are based on historical costs, except for available-
for-sale financial assets and derivatives which have been 
measured at fair value and land and buildings, plant and 

equipment where impairment has been recognised when 
the fair value of the asset is less than the historical cost. 
Non-current assets and disposal groups held-for-sale are 
measured at the lower of carrying amounts and fair value 
less costs to sell.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied 
to the entities of the consolidated entity unless otherwise 
stated. The financial statements are presented in

(b)  Basis of Consolidation

Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements comprise the 
financial statements of PPK Group Limited and its 
subsidiaries at 30 June each year (“the Group”). Subsidiaries 
are entities over which the Group has the power to 
govern the financial and operating policies generally and 
accompany a shareholding of more than one half of the 
voting rights. Potential voting rights that are currently 
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing 
control. Consolidated financial statements include all 
subsidiaries from the date that control commences until 
the date that control ceases. The financial statements of 
subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period 
asthe parent, using consistent accounting policies.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including 
unrealised profits arising from intergroup transactions 
have been eliminated. Unrealised losses are also 
eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the 
impairment of the asset transferred. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary 
not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the parent, are 
reported separately within the equity section of the 
consolidated statement of financial position and statement 
of comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests 
in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the 
original business combination and their share of changes 
in equity since that date.

Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant 
influence but not control. Associates are accounted 
for in the consolidated financial statements using the 
equity method accounting. Under the equity method the 
Group’s share of the post-acquisition income or loss of the 
associates is recognised in consolidated profit or loss and 
the Group’s share of the post-acquisition movements in 
reserves of associates is recognised in consolidated other 
comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition 
movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of 
the investment. Dividends and distributions received from 
associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment in 
the consolidated financial statements.

PPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTNOTE 1   STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT 

(d)  Inventories

ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

When the Group’s share of post-acquisition losses in an 
associate exceeds its interest in the associate (including 
any unsecured receivables), the Group does not recognise 
further losses unless it has obligations to, or has made 
payments, on behalf of the associate.

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. Costs comprise all direct materials, direct 
labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed 
overheads. Fixed overheads are allocated on the basis of 
normal operating capacity.

The financial statements of the associate are used to apply 
the equity method. The end of the reporting period of 
the associate and the parent are identical and both use 
consistent accounting policies.

Costs are assigned to inventory using a standard costing 
system. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in 
the ordinary course of business, less the estimated selling 
cost of completion and selling expenses.

(c)  Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration 
received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net of returns, trade allowance and duties and taxes paid. 
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met 
before revenue is recognised:

Sales of goods

Revenue from the sale of mining equipment is recognised 
when significant risk and rewards of rewards of ownership 
have passed to the buyer and can be reliably measured. 
Risks and rewards are considered passed to the buyer 
when the goods have been delivered to the customer.

Rental Income

Rental income on investment properties is accounted for 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent 
rentals are recognised as income in the periods when they 
are earned.

Interest income

Revenue is recognised as it accrues using the effective 
interest rate method. The effective interest method uses 
the effective interest rate which is the rate that exactly 
discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the 
expected life of the financial asset.

Asset sales

Gains and losses on sale of assets is recognised on a net 
basis. The gain or loss on disposal of assets is brought to 
account at the date an unconditional contract of sale is 
signed, or if a conditional contract is signed, the date it 
becomes unconditional. In the case of real estate sales 
under AASB 118 it becomes unconditional when title passes.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the Group’s right to receive 
payment is established.

28

(e)  Trade Receivables and other receivables
Trade and other receivables and are recognised initially at 
original invoice amounts less an allowance for uncollectible 
amounts and have repayment terms between 30 – 45 days. 
Collectibility is assessed on an ongoing basis. Debts which 
are known to be uncollectible are written off. An allowance 
is made for doubtful debts where there is objective 
evidence that the Group may not be able to collect all 
amounts due according to the original terms. Objective 
evidence of impairment include financial difficulties of 
the debtor, default of payment terms or debts more than 
60 days past due. On confirmation that the trade receivable 
will not be collectible the gross carrying value of the asset 
is written off against the associated provision.

From time to time the Group elects to renegotiate the 
terms of trade receivables due from customers with 
which it has previously had a good trading history. Such 
renegotiations will lead to a change in the timing of 
payments rather than changes to the amount owed and 
are not, in the view of the directors, sufficient to require the 
derecognition of the original instrument.

(f)  Income Tax
The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable 
on the current period’s taxable income based on the 
national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by 
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable 
to temporary differences between the tax base of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial 
statements, and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible 
temporary differences, between carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and 
their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to 
apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled, 
based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantially 
enacted for each jurisdiction. Exceptions are made for 
certain temporary differences arising on initial recognition 
of an asset or liability if they arose in a transaction other 
than a business combination that at the time of the 
transaction did not affect either accounting profit or 
taxable profit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTDeferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible 
temporary differences and unused tax losses if there is 
reasonable certainty that future taxable amounts will be 
available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for 
temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in subsidiaries, associates and 
interests in joint ventures 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.

Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts 
recognised directly in other comprehensive income or 
equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive 
income or equity.

PPK Group Limited and its wholly owned Australian 
subsidiaries have implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation for the whole of the financial year. PPK Group 
Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidated group. 
The stand-alone taxpayer/separate taxpayer within 
a group approach has been used to allocate current 
income tax expense and deferred tax expense to wholly-
owned subsidiaries that form part of the tax consolidated 
group. PPK Group Limited has assumed all the current 
tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets arising from 
unused tax losses for the tax consolidated group via 
intercompany receivables and payables because a tax 
funding arrangement has been in place for the whole of 
the financial year. The amounts receivable/payable under 
tax funding arrangements are due upon notification by the 
head entity. Interim funding notices may also be issued by 
the head entity to its wholly-owned subsidiaries in order 
for the head entity to be able to pay tax instalments.

(g)   Investment Property and Property, Plant 

and Equipment

Investment Properties

Investment properties are initially measured at cost 
including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, investment properties are carried at cost, less 
depreciation and any 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. Depreciation on investment properties is 
calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
life of the asset of 50 years. Land is not depreciated.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed 
and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet 
date. Gains and losses on disposals are calculated as the 
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the 
asset’s carrying amount and are included in the income 
statement in the year that the item is derecognised.

Other Property, plant and equipment

Other Property, plant and equipment are brought to 
account at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation or amortisation. The cost of fixed assets 
constructed within the Group includes the cost of materials 
used in construction, direct labour and an appropriate 
proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including 
buildings and capitalised leased assets, but excluding 
freehold land, is depreciated over their useful lives to the 
consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is 
held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are amortised 
over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease 
or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The gain or loss on disposal of all fixed assets is determined 
as the difference between the carrying amount of the 
asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds of disposal, 
and is included in the profit before income tax of the 
consolidated entity in the year of disposal.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable 
assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset

Buildings

Depreciation Rate
Straight Line

2 %

Leasehold Improvements

over the term of the lease

Plant and Equipment

Leased Plant and Equipment

3–50 %

3–33 %

(h)  Investments and Other Financial Assets
All investments and other financial assets are initially stated 
at cost, being the fair value of consideration given plus 
acquisition costs. Purchases and sales of investments are 
recognised at trade date which is the date on which the 
Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Accounting 
policies for each category of investments and other financial 
assets subsequent to initial recognition are set out below.

De-recognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual 
rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer 
has any significant continuing involvement in the risks 
and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities 
are derecognised where the related obligations are either 
discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between 
the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished 
or transferred to another party and the fair value of 
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash 
assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

29

NOTE 1   STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

Classification and subsequent measurement

(i)  Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets 
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
on an active market and are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

The host debt contract of a convertible note is classified 
as loans and receivables. The host debt contract is 
measured initially at the residual amount after separating 
the embedded option derivative. The host debt contract 
is subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method.

(ii)  Held-to-maturity investments

Held to maturity investments are non-derivative financial 
assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable 
payments, and it is the group’s intention to hold the 
investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured 
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iii)  Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets comprise investments 
in listed and unlisted entities and any non-derivatives 
that are not classified as any other category of financial 
assets, and are classified as non-current assets (unless 
management intends to dispose of the investments within 
12 months of the end of the reporting period). After initial 
recognition, these investments are measured at fair value 
with gains or losses recognised in other comprehensive 
income (available-for-sale investments revaluation 
reserve). Where there is a significant or prolonged decline 
in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset 
(which constitutes objective evidence of impairment) the 
full amount including any amount previously charged to 
other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. 
Purchases and sales of available-for-sale financial assets 
are recognised on settlement date with any change in fair 
value between trade date and settlement being recognised 
in other comprehensive income. On sale the amount held 
in available-for-sale reserves associated with that asset is 
recognised in profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture 
entities are accounted for in the consolidated financial 
statements as described in Note 1(b).

Reversal of impairment losses on equity instruments 
classified as available-for-sale cannot be reversed through 
profit or loss. Reversal of impairment losses on debt 
instruments classified as available-for-sale can be reversed 
through profit or loss where the reversal relates to an 
increase in the fair value of the debt instrument occurring 
after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss. 

30

The fair value of quoted investments are determined by 
reference to Securities Exchange quoted market bid prices 
at the close of business at the end of the reporting period. 
For investments where there is no quoted market, fair 
price is determined by reference to current market value 
of another instrument which is substantially the same 
or is calculated based on the expected cash flows of the 
underlying net asset base of the investment.

(iv)  Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial 
guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest rate method.

(v)  Derivatives

Share options embedded in a convertible note are 
not closely related to the debt host contract and are 
separated from the host debt contract and accounted 
for as a separate derivative. The share options are initially 
measured at fair value using the Black Scholes model or 
the listed market price if one exists. Other share options are 
classified as a derivative and initially measured at fair value 
net of transaction costs. Subsequent adjustments to fair 
value of the share options are taken to profit or loss.

The group does not use derivative financial instruments 
such as forward exchange contracts and interest rate 
swaps to mitigate risks associated with interest rate and 
foreign exchange fluctuations.

(vi)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit 
or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose 
of short-term profit taking, or if it is a derivative that is 
not designated as a hedge. Such assets are subsequently 
measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount 
being included in profit or loss.

(i)  Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group 
has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are 
classified as finance leases and capitalised at inception of 
the lease at the fair value of the leased property, or if lower, 
at the present value of the minimum lease payments. 
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance 
charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve 
a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of 
the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss 
over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for 
each period.

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter 
of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks 
and rewards of ownership of the net asset are classified as 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORToperating leases. Payments made under operating leases 
(net of incentives received from the lessor) are charged 
to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of 
the lease.

When assets are leased out under finance leases, the 
present value of the lease payments is recognised as 
a lease receivable. The difference between the gross 
receivable and the present value of the receivable is 
recognised as unearned finance income.

Lease income is recognised over the lease term using the 
net investment method which reflects a constant periodic 
rate of return. Lease income from operating leases is 
recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over 
the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating 
operating leases are added to the carrying value of the 
leased asset and recognised as an expense over the lease 
term on the same basis as the lease income.

(j)  Foreign Currency 
Foreign currency transactions during the period are 
converted to Australian currency at rates of exchange 
applicable at the dates of the transactions. Amounts 
receivable and payable in foreign currency at balance 
date are converted at the rates of exchange ruling at year 
end. The gains and losses from conversion of short term 
balances, whether realised or unrealised, are recognised 
in profit or loss.

(k)  Trade and Other payables 
These amounts represent unpaid liabilities for goods 
received and services provided to the group and parent 
entity prior to the end of the financial year. The amounts 
are unsecured and are normally settled within 30 to 
60 days, except for imported items for which 90 or 120 day 
payment terms are normally available.

(l)  Borrowings 
All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair 
value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference 
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the 
redemption amount is recognised in the income statement 
over the period of the loans and borrowings using the 
effective interest method. Bank loans are subject to set-off 
arrangements.

(m)  Employee Benefit Provisions

Salary, wages and annual leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 
12 months of the end of the reporting period are recognised 
in other liabilities or provision for employee benefits in 
respect of employees’ services rendered up to the end of the 
reporting period and are measured at amounts expected to 
be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Long service leave

Liabilities for long service leave are recognised as part of 
the provision for employee benefits and measure as the 
present value of expected future payments to be made in 
respect of services provided by employees to the end of 
the reporting period. Consideration is given to expected 
future salaries and wages levels, experience of employee 
departures and period of service. Expected future 
payments are discounted using national government 
bond rates at the end of the reporting period with terms 
to maturity that match, as close as possible, the estimated 
future cash outflows.

Retirement benefit obligations

The Group contributes to defined contribution 
superannuation funds for employees. All funds are 
accumulation plans where the Group contributed various 
percentages of employee gross incomes, the majority 
of which were as determined by the superannuation 
guarantee legislation. Benefits provided are based 
on accumulated contributions and earnings for each 
employee. There is no legally enforceable obligation on 
the Group to contribute to the superannuation plans other 
than requirements under the superannuation guarantee 
legislation. Contributions are recognised as expenses as 
they become payable. 

(n)  Cash
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash 
includes cash on hand and at call deposits with banks or 
financial institutions, net of bank overdrafts.

(o)  Intangible assets

Brand Names

Expenditure on internally generated brand names are 
expensed as incurred. Acquired Brand names are stated at 
cost and are considered to have indefinite useful lives and 
are not amortised. The useful life is assessed annually to 
determine whether events or circumstances continue to 
support an indefinite useful life assessment. The carrying 
value of brand names is reviewed annually for impairment.

31

NOTE 1   STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued

Research and Development

Research is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs 
incurred on development (relating to the design and 
testing of new or improved products) are recognised as 
intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, 
after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, 
be completed and generate future economic benefits 
and its costs can be measure reliably. The expenditure 
capitalised comprises all directly attributable cost, 
including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an 
appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development 
expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised 
as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously 
recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset 
in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are 
recorded as intangible assets at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation and impairment losses and amortised over 
the period of expected future sales from the related 
projects which vary from 5 – 7 years. The carrying value of 
development costs is reviewed annually when the asset 
is not yet ready for use, or when events or circumstances 
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Patents, Trademarks and Licences

Patents, trademarks and licences have a finite useful life 
and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated on a straight 
line basis over the number of years of their expected 
benefit which ranges from 3 to 10 years.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration 
transferred and the amount of the non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable 
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is not 
amortised but is measured at cost less any accumulated 
impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed annually for 
impairment annually, or more frequently if events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value 
may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an 
entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to 
the entity sold.

Goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-
generating units expected to benefit from the 
combinations synergies. Impairment is determined by 
assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating 
unit to which the goodwill relates. Impairment losses on 
goodwill cannot be reversed.

(p)  Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether 
there is an indication that individual assets are impaired. 
Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is 
determined and impairment losses are recognised in the 
income statement where the asset’s carrying value exceeds 
its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher 
of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For 
the purpose of assessing value in use, the estimated future 
cash flows are discounted to the present value using a pre-
tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of 
the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Where it is not possible to estimate recoverable amount for 
an individual asset, recoverable amount is determined for 
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

(q)  Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.

(r)  Rounding of Amounts 
The parent entity applied the relief available under ASIC 
Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in the 
financial statements and directors’ report have been 
rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain 
cases, to the nearest dollar.

(s)  Dividends
Provision is made for dividends declared, and no longer 
at the discretion of the Group, on or before the end of 
the financial year but not distributed at the end of the 
reporting period. 

The requirements for paying dividends under Section 254T 
of the Corporations Act 2001 were amended in June 2010. 
The old “profits” test has been deleted and been replaced 
with a “solvency” test and an “asset” test. Dividends can no 
longer be paid unless:

(a)  Assets exceed liabilities immediately before the 

dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the 
payment of dividends; and

(b)  The payment of the dividend is fair and reasonable to 

the company’s shareholder as a whole; and 

(c)  The payment of the dividend does not materially 

prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.

These new rules apply to all dividends declared on or after 
the date of Royal Assent of 29 June 2010.

32

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORT(t)  Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the 
profit attributable to owners of PPK Group Limited, by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in 
ordinary shares during the year.

Diluted earnings per share 

Earnings used to calculate diluted earnings per share are 
calculated by adjusting the basic earnings by the after-tax 
effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive 
potential ordinary shares. The weighted average number of 
shares used is adjusted for the weighted average number 
of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration 
in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(u)  GST
Revenues and expenses are recognised net of GST except 
where GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is 
not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case 
the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense item.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of 
GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, 
or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on 
a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities, which is 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are 
classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of 
the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
taxation authority.

(v)   New Accounting Standards and 
interpretations not yet adopted

No new accounting standards and interpretations, that are 
available for early adoption at 30 June 2013, but not yet 
adopted, will result in any material change to the financial 
statements.

The Group has determined that there will be no material 
change on the Group’s financial reports following 
adoption of these standards in future years, as either their 
application is only required to be applied prospectively, 
they are disclosure standards only and there will be no 
material impact on amounts recognised in the financial 
statements or they are disclosure standards only that will 
require various additional disclosures.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2015)

The AASB aims to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. The 
replacement standard (AASB 9) is being issued in 
phases. To date, the chapters dealing with recognition, 
classification, measurement and derecognition of financial 
assets and liabilities have been issued. These chapters are 
effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2015. 
Further chapters dealing with impairment methodology 
and hedge accounting are still being developed.

The amendments require that any changes in fair value 
attributable to the liability‘s credit risk be recognised in 
other comprehensive income instead of profit or loss. 
The amendments apply retrospectively from date of initial 
application. Therefore, at this stage, it is not yet possible 
for the entity to quantify the impact on the financial 
statements of first time application of these amendments.

Consolidation Standards

A package of consolidation standards are effective 
for annual periods beginning or after 1 January 2013. 
Information on these new standards is presented below. 
The Group‘s management have yet to assess the impact 
of these new and revised standards on the Group‘s 
consolidated financial statements.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (AASB 10)

AASB 10 supersedes the consolidation requirements in 
AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements 
(AASB 127) and Interpretation 112 Consolidation – Special 
Purpose Entities. It revised the definition of control 
together with accompanying guidance to identify an 
interest in a subsidiary. However, the requirements and 
mechanics of consolidation and the accounting for any 
non-controlling interests and changes in control remain 
the same.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (AASB 11)

AASB 11 supersedes AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures 
(AASB 131). It aligns more closely the accounting by 
the investors with their rights and obligations relating 
to the joint arrangement. It introduces two accounting 
categories (joint operations and joint ventures) whose 
applicability is determined based on the substance of the 
joint arrangement. In addition, AASB 131‘s option of using 
proportionate consolidation for joint ventures has been 
eliminated. AASB 11 now requires the use of the equity 
accounting method for joint ventures, which is currently 
used for investments in associates.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (AASB 12)

AASB 12 integrates and makes consistent the disclosure 
requirements for various types of investments, including 
unconsolidated structured entities. 

33

AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint 
Arrangements Standards

This Standard gives effect to many consequential 
changes arising from the issuance of the new Standards. 
For example, references to AASB 127 Consolidated and 
Separate Financial Statements are amended to AASB 10 
Consolidated Financial Statements or AASB 127 Separate 
Financial Statements, and references to AASB 131 Interests 
in Joint Ventures are deleted as that Standard has been 
superseded by AASB 11 and AASB 128 (August 2011).

AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and 
Transition Disclosures

AASB 2012-6 amends the mandatory effective date of 
AASB 9 so that AASB 9 is required to be applied for annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 
instead of 1 January 2013. It also modifies the relief from 
restating prior periods by amending AASB 7 to require 
additional disclosures on transition from AASB 139 to AASB 
9 in some circumstances.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel 
Disclosure

The Standard amends AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures 
to remove the individual key management personnel 
(KMP) disclosures required by Australian specific 
paragraphs. This amendment reflects the AASB‘s view that 
these disclosures are more in the nature of governance 
disclosures that are better dealt within the legislation, 
rather than by the accounting standards.

In March 2013, the Australian government released 
Corporations Legislation Amendment Regulation 
2013 which proposed to insert these disclosures into 
Corporations Regulations 2001 to ensure the disclosure 
requirements continue to be operative for financial years 
commencing on or after 1 July 2013. The closing date for 
submissions was 10 May 2013.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements 
incorporated into the financial report based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. 
Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future 
events and are based on current trends and economic 
data, obtained both externally and within the group.

Statements (AASB 127) and AASB 128 Investments in 
Associates and Joint Ventures (AASB 128)

AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements 
was amended to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements 
which now deals only with separate financial statements. 
AASB 128 brings investments in joint ventures into 
its scope. However, AASB 128‘s equity accounting 
methodology remains unchanged.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13)

AASB 13 does not affect which items are required to be 
fair-valued, but clarifies the definition of fair value and 
provides related guidance and enhanced disclosures about 
fair value measurements. It is applicable for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Group‘s 
management have yet to assess the impact of this 
new standard.

Amendments to AASB 119 Employee Benefits (AASB 119 
Amendments)

The AASB 119 Amendments include a number of targeted 
improvements throughout the Standard. The main 
changes relate to defined benefit plans. 

AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and 
Financial Liabilities

This Standard amends the required disclosures in AASB 7 
to include information that will enable users of an entity‘s 
financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential 
effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off 
associated with the entity‘s recognised financial assets 
and recognised financial liabilities, on the entity‘s financial 
position. This Standard also amends AASB 132 to refer 
to the additional disclosures added to AASB 7 by this 
Standard. The Group’s management has yet to assess the 
impact of these amendments.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
– Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

This Standard adds application guidance to AASB 132 to 
address inconsistencies identified in applying some of 
the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying 
the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right 
of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may 
be considered equivalent to net settlement. The Group’s 
management has yet to assess the impact of these 
amendments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTKey estimates – Impairment

Deferred Tax Asset

An assessment was made on the recoverability of the 
deferred tax asset recognised in the accounts. The deferred 
tax asset has only been recognised to the extent that there 
is reasonable certainty of realising future taxable amounts 
sufficient to use losses incurred. 

Capital losses with a tax asset value of $1,315,000 
(2012: $1,315,000) have not been recognised and carried 
forward as a deferred tax asset. 

Goodwill, Brand Names, Plant and Equipment

No impairment has been recognised in respect of 
goodwill, brand names, plant and equipment for the 
current financial year.

Refer to Note 17 for details of assumptions used in 
estimating the recoverable amount of intangible assets.

Key judgements – Classification as Held for Sale
The Group classifies assets as held for sale where an asset 
(or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its 
present condition subject only to terms that are usual and 
customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) 
and the sale is highly probable. For the sale to be assessed 
as highly probable, management must be committed 
to a plan to sell the asset (or disposal group), and an 
active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan 
must have been initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal 
group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is 
reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, 
the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition 
as a completed sale within one year from the date of 
classification and actions required to complete the plan 
should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes 
to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn

The Group has land located at Arndell Park, New South 
Wales which has been marketed for sale for a number of 
years. In prior years this property was classified as “Assets 
classified as held for sale”. Although the property continues 
to be actively marketed, it is considered appropriate to re-
classify this property as non-current investment property, 
as there is no certainty that a firm purchase commitment 
will be highly probable within one year. 

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by 
evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead 
to impairment of assets.

Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable 
amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use 
calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts 
incorporate a number of key estimates.

Available-for-sale financial assets

The Group reviews each of its listed investments at each 
reporting date to consider whether there is any indication 
that individual investments are impaired.

Based on all the information available to the Directors 
it was determined that the Group’s investment in the 
following listed companies were impaired:

Alchemy Limited

As a result an impairment loss of $22,000 (2012: $60,000) 
was taken up in profit or loss on this investment.

The Directors determined that no other listed available-for-
sale financial assets were impaired at balance date.

Investment in Associates

The Group’s investments in associate entities are reviewed 
at each reporting date to consider whether there is any 
indication that individual investments are impaired.

Based on all the information available to the directors it 
was determined that there were no impairments of the 
Group’s investments in associated entities.

Investment Properties

An independent valuation of the industrial properties was 
undertaken in May 2010. All properties have been included 
in the financial statements at cost. The independent 
valuation of the industrial properties indicated that the 
market value of one property was below cost and as a 
result an impairment was recognised in prior years on 
the land and buildings the Group owns at Arndell Park, 
New South Wales.

Based on all the information available to the directors it was 
determined that no further impairment adjustment was 
required for any investment property in the current year.

Loans and Receivables

The Group’s loans and receivables disclosed in Note 10 
are reviewed at each reporting date to consider whether 
there is any indication that individual loans or receivables 
are impaired.

Based on all the information available to the Directors 
it was determined that there was no impaired loans or 
receivables (2012: $nil).

The above amounts represent the balance of the franking account as at the end of the financial year, adjusted for:

(a)  franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liability

(b)  franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the reporting date

(c)  franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables at the reporting date, and

(d)  franking credits that may be prevented from being distributed in subsequent financial years.

The consolidated amounts include franking credits that would be available to the parent entity if distributable profits 
of subsidiaries were paid as dividends.

Under legislation that took effect on 1st July 2002, the amount recorded in the franking account is the amount of 
Australian income tax paid, rather than franking credits based on after tax profits, and amounts debited to that account 
in respect of dividends paid after 30 June 2002 are the franking credits attaching to those dividends rather than the gross 
amount of the dividends.

(e)  Convertible notes

The Group had invested in Convertible Notes in listed companies that could be converted to shares. The notes were 
secured over a first or second ranking fixed and floating charge over those companies’ assets. On acquisition the note is 
split into its loan component and is recorded at amortised cost and is classified as a receivable and its derivative element 
is recorded at is fair value and is classified as a derivative. The convertible notes maybe redeemed by the issuing company, 
prior to conversion into shares, for 110% of their face value. The discount to their face value is taken as interest received 
over the life of the note. Interest is received on the convertible notes at a fixed rate each quarter.

Convertible notes with a face value of $850,000 held in Allied Consolidated Limited were redeemed by the issuing 
company, a total of 2,936,097 fully paid ordinary shares in Allied Consolidated Ltd were issued to the Group, on 
redemption of the notes, which had a value of $47,770 when the company relisted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTListed investments are recorded at fair value based on the ASX closing price at the 30 June of the relevant financial period.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised directly 
in an equity reserve through other comprehensive income, unless they are impaired. When the available-for-sale financial 
asset is disposed of, any gain or loss arising from the sale is taken out of the reserve and included in the profit or loss.

A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered an indicator that the securities 
are impaired.

If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the value of the impairment is assessed and the difference 
between the cost and the impaired value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the 
profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss. Any subsequent difference 
between the impaired value and the fair value will be recognised in equity through the reserve.

Impairment losses recognised in the profit or loss on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed 
through profit or loss.

Acquisition and Disposals
The Easy Living (Bundaberg) Unit Trust completed the acquisition of a retirement village in Bundaberg, Queensland. 
There were no disposals of investment properties in the financial year.

Valuation of Investment Properties
An independent valuation of the industrial Land and Buildings was undertaken in May 2010 and valued these investment 
properties at $29.7 million. This does not include the retirement living buildings purchased by The Easy Living (Bundaberg) 
Unit Trust and The Easy Living Unit Trust which are considered by the Directors to have a fair value, equal to their cost of 
$6.26 million. No capital gains tax would be payable if the industrial Land and Buildings were sold at balance date at the 
independent valuation due to capital losses. These valuations have been reflected in the accounts to the extent that the 
value of one of the investment properties was considered impaired.

Impairment
The Group tests for impairment and measures recoverable amount based on value-in-use based on the discounted future 
cash flows derived from continued use of assets. Impairment losses are included in the line item “Investment property” 
expenditure in the profit or loss, no additional provision for impairment was deemed necessary.

Non-current assets pledged as security 
Refer to Note 21(b) for information on non-current assets pledged as security by the parent entity or its subsidiaries.

Licences, software and patents have a finite useful life. They are recorded at cost and amortised on a straight line basis 
over the number of years of their expected life which ranges from 3 to 10 years. 

Goodwill is assessed to have an indefinite life, it is tested annually for impairment with any impairment losses being 
charged to profit or loss. 

Costs incurred on development (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as 
intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be 
completed and generate future economic benefits and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured 
reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable cost, including costs of materials, services, direct 
labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are 
recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an 
asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the 
point at which the asset is ready for use on a straight-line basis over its useful life, 7 years.

54

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORTBrand names have been assessed to have an indefinite useful life. These brands are registered with the relevant agencies. 
The registrations are renewed at insignificant cost to the consolidated entity. This, combined with continued support 
for the brands by product development, advertising and marketing expenditure, has allowed the consolidated entity 
to determine that the assets have an indefinite useful life. They are recorded at cost and tested annually for impairment. 
Impairment losses are charged to profit or loss.

Impairment disclosures
Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are allocated to the Group’s cash generating units identified according to 
business segment.

A segment level summary of the intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives is as follows:

Year ended 30 June 2013

The recoverable amount of intangibles in the mining equipment manufacturing cash-generating units are determined 
based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of 5 year discounted cash flow 
projections based on budgets approved by management. The growth rate used in these budgets does not exceed the 
long term average growth rate for the business in which cash-generating units operate.

The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:

2013

5.00%

12.50%

12.50%

The budgets used by management use historical weighted average growth rates, adjusted for the current economic 
conditions to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated 
weighted average inflation rates over the period which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in 
which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular 
segment. The estimated recoverable amount of intangible assets exceeds the carrying amount of these assets at 
30 June 2013. If a discount rate of 60.5% was used instead of 12.5%, and if sales growth was limited to the inflation rate 
of 2.4% instead of 5.0%, the estimated recoverable amount of the intangible assets would equal the carrying value.

The major facilities are summarised as follows:

Banking overdrafts
Bank overdraft facilities are arranged with the National Australia Bank with the general terms and conditions being set 
from time to time. Overdraft balances are subject to set-off arrangements whereby credit balances can be netted off 
against debit balances with the total facility and interest being applied to the net balance.

Commercial bill facilities
Provided by the National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB).

$19,800,000 (2012: $18,500,000) variable interest rate facilities provided by the NAB. Further details on the banking 
facilities with the NAB are included in Note 25(c). Banking facilities with the NAB are subject to annual review and six 
monthly satisfaction of banking covenants. There is no reason to believe that facilities will not be routinely renewed. 
At year end the interest rates on the facilities range from 5.66% to 7.29% (2012: 5.66% to 7.94%) inclusive of bank margins.

Provided by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd (CBA).

$3,700,000 variable interest rate facilities provided by the CBA.

Further details on the banking facilities with the CBA are included in Note 25(c).

Banking facilities with the CBA are for two years and subject to a six monthly satisfaction of banking covenants. There is no 
reason to believe that facilities will not be renewed at the end of the term. At year end the interest rate on the facility was 
5.6% (2012: 6.65%) inclusive of bank margins.

During the financial year the group breached one banking covenant relating to its EBITDA requirements to CBA. As a 
result, the loan has been classified as current as required by AASB 101. Subsequent to year end the bank agreed to waive 
the breach.

These new renewal dates have been used for disclosure of maturity dates of bank overdraft and loans, even though they 
are subject to an annual review as there is no reason to believe that the facilities will be altered by the bank at the time of 
annual review.

The Group has loans owing to the non-controlling interest investors in the Easy Living Unit Trust, Easy Living Bundaberg 
Trust and SLOT Loan Trust. The loans in the Easy Living Unit Trust and Easy Living Bundaberg Trust are secured by a 
registered second mortgage over the properties owned by each of the trusts and a registered second ranking fixed and 
floating charge over the assets of each trust. They are repayable in 2017. The loans in the SLOT loan Trust are unsecured 
and are repayable by September 2014.

The current terms of the loans are that they are interest free, and are in proportion to the number of units each investor 
holds in each of the trusts. The non-controlling investors in each of the unit trusts are entitled to trust distributions each 
year, of the trusts net profit in proportion to the number of units they hold.

The group considers that under the existing terms of the loans and their anticipated repayment date that their carrying 
value approximates the present value of the loans.

Capital Risk Management
The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital, share premium and retained earnings / (accumulated 
losses). In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent 
return for its equity shareholders through a combination of capital growth and distributions and through the payment 
of annual dividends to its shareholders. In order to achieve this objective, the Group seeks to maintain a gearing ratio 
that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and also to maintain a sufficient funding base to enable the Group 
to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve 
these aims, either through altering its dividend policy, new share issues, share buy-backs, or the reduction of debt, the 
Group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and strategic objectives .

It is the Group’s policy to maintain its gearing ratio within the range of 20% – 50% (2012: 20% – 50%). The Group’s gearing 
ratio at the balance sheet date is shown below:

Fair Value
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities listed above approximate their fair value except for non current loans 
receivable which have a fair value of $9,946,000 (2012: $5,983,000).

Estimated discounted cash flows were used to measure fair value, except for fair values of financial assets that were traded 
in active markets that are based on quoted market prices.

The Group’s and parent’s investments and obligations expose it to market, liquidity and credit risks. The nature of the 
risks and the policies the Group and parent has for controlling them and any concentrations of exposure are discussed 
as follows:

Hierarchy
The following tables classify financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position of the group according 
to the hierarchy stipulated in AASB7 as follows:

•	

•	

•	

Level 1 – the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 Level 2 – a valuation technique is used using inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for 
financial instruments, either directly (i.e. as prices), or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); or

Level 3 – a valuation technique is used using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial Risk Management
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the financial risk management 
framework. PPK Group’s activities expose it to a range of financial risks including market risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. The Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of 
these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material. The Board receives monthly reports, which it 
reviews and regularly discuss the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and 
policies to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets while protecting future financial security. The Board also 
has in place informal policies over the use of derivatives and does not permit their use for speculative purposes.

(a)  Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the Group’s and parent entity’s financial instruments will 
fluctuate because of changes in market prices.

Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, equity price risk and currency risk.

62

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2013CONTINUEDPPK GROUP LIMITED  ANNUAL REPORT(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a security, will fluctuate due to changes in interest 
rates. Exposure to interest risk arises due to holding floating rate interest bearing liabilities, investments in cash and cash 
equivalents and loans to related parties and other persons. Although a change in the current market interest rate may 
impact the fair value of the Group’s fixed interest financial liabilities and other receivables, it does not impact the Group 
profit after tax or equity as these financial liabilities and other receivables are carried at amortised cost and not fair value 
through profit or loss. Floating interest rates attached to the Group’s and parent’s financial assets and liabilities give rise 
to cash flow interest rate risk. Any changes in the current market rate will affect the cash flows payable on floating rate 
interest bearing liabilities and hence impact the Group’s profit after tax.

Sensitivity disclosure analysis
The Group’s exposure to its floating interest rate financial assets and liabilities is as follows: 

Financial Assets

Receivables

Financial Liabilities

Bank overdraft

Net Exposure

The group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its interest rate risk based on 
the Group’s year end exposure. This sensitivity demonstrates the effect on after tax 
results and equity which could result from a movement in interest rates of +/- 1%.

Equity securities price risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the fair value of future cash flows of the 
Group’s financial instruments. The group is exposed to equity price risk through the movement in share prices of the 
companies in which it is invested. These are determined by market forces and and are outside control of the group. 
The risk of loss is limited to the capital invested in relation to shares and options held.

As the market value of listed companies fluctuate the fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets 
at fair value through profit or loss of the group change continuously. Changes in fair value of available-for-sale financial 
assets are recognised through the asset revaluation reserve unless the there is objective evidence that available-for-sale 
financial assets have been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Unlisted investments do not have 
a quoted price in an active market and their fair value cannot be reliably measured, so they remain valued at cost after 
their initial recognition. However when there is objective evidence of impairment of these unlisted investments, such 
impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. The value of unlisted investments at balance date was nil as the group 
considers that there is little or no likelihood of any return from these investments. Changes in the fair value of financial 
assets at fair value through profit or loss are taken directly to profit or loss for the year.

The group’s portfolio of investments in listed companies is concentrated in a small number of companies. The individual 
performances of these companies exposes the group to a greater concentration of risk than just that of general market 
forces if a more wide-spread portfolio were held. However, because of this concentration of holdings the Directors are able 
to regularly monitor the performance of the companies within its portfolio.

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial item will fluctuate as a result of movements 
in international exchange rates. The Group is exposed to exchange rate transaction risk on foreign currency sales and 
purchases primarily with respect to the United States dollar (USD). Of the total sales revenue for the Group some 22% 
(2012: 21%) is in export sales, all sales from 1 January 2009 are designated in AUD thus limiting the currency risk exposure. 
The group does not take forward cover or hedge and was therefore at risk in relation to foreign currency movements 
during the year. In 2012 the Group had maintained a USD bank account for receiving payments (if any) from trade 
receivables and making payment to trade payables. The account has now been closed.

(b)  Credit Risk 
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is generally the carrying amount net of any provisions for doubtful debts. 
The Group’s exposure is minimised by the fact that the trade receivables balance is with a diverse range of Australian 
and Multi-national customers. The Group has in place informal policies for establishing credit approval and limits so as to 
manage the risk. The Group also has a credit risk exposure in relation to cash at bank. The Group’s policy is ensure funds 
are placed only with major Australian banks thus minimising the group’s exposure to this credit risk.

The Group’s credit risk relating to tenants is primarily the risk that they will fail to honour their lease agreements. The lease 
agreements with the Dandenong property are secured by a guarantee from the head entity, Visy Industrial Plastics Pty Ltd, 
and the lease in relation to the Seven Hills property is supported by a bank guarantee. Loans receivable from the associate 
entity PPK Willoughby Funding Unit Trust are secured by a registered first mortgage over property owned by the ultimate 
borrower entity being the Willoughby Market Gardens Purchaser Unit Trust. 

Refer to Note 10 for detail the Group’s trade and other receivables.

(c)  Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and parent will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with 
financial liabilities.

The Group’s objective to mitigate liquidity risk is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility 
through the use of bank overdrafts, bank loans and hire purchase contracts. The Group and parents exposure to liquidity 
risk is not significant based on available funding facilities and cash flow forecasts.

Details of the groups financing facilities are set-out in Note 21.

Financial Liabilities maturity analysis
The tables below reflect the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for the groups financial liabilities of a fixed period 
of maturity, as well as the earliest possible settlement period for all other financial liabilities. As such the amounts may not 
reconcile to the balance sheet. Bank loans provided by the NAB are subject to an annual review with the next review date 
being 30 November 2013, with the facilities requiring renewal on 30 November 2013, and 31 January 2015. Bank overdraft 
facility is provided by the NAB with the current facility expiring on 31 January 2014. The Bank loans provided by the NAB 
have facilities that expire on 30 November 2013 and 31 January 2015. A facility of $2,410,000 expires on 30 November 
2013, $1,800,000 of this facility is currently used. A facility of $18,080,000 expires on 31 January 2015, $18,000,000 of this 
facility is currently used.

The CBA facilities expire on 23 March 2014 and 8 October 2014 each is for an amount of $1,850,000 that is fully utilised. 
During the financial year the group breached a banking covenant relating to its EBITDA requirements to CBA. As a result, 
the loan has been classified as current in accordance with AASB 101. Subsequent to year end the bank agreed to waive 
the breach. These new renewal dates have been used for disclosure of maturity dates of bank overdraft and loans, even 
though they are subject to an annual review as there is no reason to believe that the facilities will be altered by the bank 
at the time of annual review.
