EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 

The  2016  financial  year  continued  to  provide  extremely  difficult  trading  conditions  for  PPK  Group  Limited, 
particularly in the mining equipment division. With the depressed trading conditions in the mining sector and 
particularly  the  coal  mining  sector  continuing  on  from  FY2015,  PPK  determined  there  was  a  need  to  seek 
extended support for the ongoing viability of the group with reference to a prospective merger, sale or equity 
injection  alternative  in  relation  to  its  mining  services  businesses  and/or  PPK  itself.  Hence,  on  the  29th  of 
September 2015 the Company applied for the Voluntary Suspension of its shares from quotation on the ASX, 
whilst negotiations with interested parties were undertaken. Further details of these events are available under 
the Strategy Direction section of this report. 

Unfortunately, at the date of this report it is still not clear whether there will be a sale, merger or equity injection 
alternative of the PPK mining services businesses and/or PPK itself. Accordingly, the voluntary suspension of 
PPK’s shares continues. However, the PPK Board is currently focussed on addressing the specific conditions to 
permit a resumption in trading of shares in the Company. Further, given the date of release of this 2016 Annual 
Report, it is recommended shareholders take time to also review the 2017 half year report, which is due for 
release on or before 30 June 2017. 

STRATEGY DIRECTION  

As announced in 2013, PPK embarked on a growth strategy that was predicated on the view that the mining 
cycle was approaching its bottom and there was an opportunity to create value by acquiring assets which would 
generate consistent, increasing revenue streams and demonstrate significant growth in asset value as the mining 
equipment and technology cycle rebounded and strengthened.   While considerable progress was made against 
this strategy during the FY14 and FY15 years, the sustained downturn in the mining sector, and in particular the 
coal mining sector, have been well documented.   

In September 2015, PPK announced a review of its mining services businesses including a prospective merger, 
sale or equity injection alternatives in relation to its mining services businesses and/or PPK itself.  

In December  2015, PPK entered into a non-binding and conditional Letter of Intent (LOI) with a  major State 
Owned  Chinese  mining  equipment  manufacturer  (Counter  Party)  under  which  it  is  contemplated  that  the 
Counter Party will acquire a controlling interest in PPK through the placement of new shares. Pursuant to the 
terms of the LOI, PPK is not permitted to disclose the identity of the Counter Party. 

During the 2016 financial year, the Counter Party appointed legal and accounting firms to undertake detailed 
due diligence on PPK generally and, in particular, the PPK mining services businesses. Subsequent to the FY2016 
period, financial and legal due diligence was completed and a non-binding offer negotiated pending the Counter 
Party’s rigorous internal and external approval process. However, at the date of this report a binding agreement 
(conditional or otherwise) is yet to be concluded.  

In the meantime, the Mining Equipment division has continued to be supported by the sale of assets from PPK’s 
Property and Investment divisions.  

FINANCIAL RESULTS  

PPK Group Limited (PPK) reported a net loss after tax attributable to owners of PPK of $7.763M for the 12 months 
to 30 June 2016 (FY2015 $12.122M loss).  Group revenue for the 12 months from mining equipment sales and 
mining services was $26.075M (FY2015 $29.577M), revenue from investment properties was $0.585M (FY2015 
$1.778M) and interest received was $0.495M (FY2015 $1.587M). 

                          1 
 
 
 
The $7.763M net loss comprised a first half loss of $4.994M and second half loss of $2.769M. The considerable 
improvement in the second half result is largely reflecting a gain on partial sale of the company’s ASX traded 
share portfolio ($1.5m) and PPK’s cost saving initiatives as outlined further below. 

Underpinning  the  disappointing  PPK  Group  result,  was  a  net  loss  of  $6.699M  from  the  Mining  Equipment 
division, being $2.763M second half loss following a $3.936M first half loss. Further, the current year result was 
impacted  by  impairments,  writedowns,  provisions  and  redundancy  costs  totalling  $0.5M  (FY2015:  $13.7M). 
Current year amounts  include: available-for-sale investments $0.08M, inventory of $0.68M, redundancy costs 
of $0.11M less write-back of onerous lease provision of net $0.37M ($0.55M less associated interest of $0.18M).  

The Financial Results outlined above are reflective of the continued downturn endured by the mining sector, in 
particular, underground coal mining.  A number of Australian coal mines are currently operating in “care and 
maintenance” mode, while operating mines are experiencing both capital and operational expense constraints.   
Notably,  PPK  did  not  sell  a  single  unit  of  its  flagship  Coaltram  “Load,  Haul,  Dump”  product  domestically  or 
internationally  during  the  financial  year.    Further,  an  extremely  competitive  maintenance,  service  and 
rental/lease market resulted in varying degrees of margin suppression across PPK’s mining equipment products 
and services range. 

PPK  did  not  acquire  or  merge  any  new  businesses  into  the  Group  during  FY2016,  but  rather  focussed  on 
operational stability and cost reduction. To this extent, PPK has targeted cost savings of $5M per annum from 
the  Mining  Equipment  division,  Corporate  Head  Office  and  Board.  At  30  June  2016,  costs  exceeding  $1.5M 
annualised had been removed from the business and a further $3M in opportunities identified, including $1.6M 
per annum in relation to an operating lease for 7 Coaltrams. 

OPERATIONS 

Major operational highlights during the year under review were: 

• 

• 

• 

Cost base removal of $1.5M annualised during the financial year, with a further $3M in opportunities 

identified and subsequent tangible progress already exceeding $1.6M. 

Successful  completion  of  the  Rambor  /  Firefly  business  merger  announced  in  2015,  which  saw  the 

closure of the Rambor Nowra facility and integration of the business into Firefly’s Mt Thorley facility. 

Completed the acquisition of the MONEx Electronic Engine Management System technology. 

•  Material progress on the COALTRAM engine management system upgrades. 
•  Material  progress  on  other  product  development  investments  including  automated  mobile  bolter 

upgrade, Alternator upgrade and hydraulic tensioner.  

PPK Mining Equipment Businesses 

As  stated  above,  like  many  companies  servicing  the  sector,  PPK’s  mining  equipment  businesses  have  been 
materially impacted by the current market environment. 

At the end of the financial year PPK’s mining equipment and technology businesses comprised: 

•  Manufacture, service, support, and hire of the class leading COALTRAM underground transport utility 

vehicle; 

•  Manufacture and distribution of the global market leading flameproof alternator for use in methane 

gas prone underground mines; 

                          2 
 
 
 
 
•  Design, manufacture and overhaul of Exlec hazardous area electrical equipment; and 
•  Manufacture, service, support and hire of Rambor and Firefly mining equipment. 

COALTRAM 

In  the  prior  year,  PPK  announced  the  first  sale  of  a  COALTRAM  into  the  Chinese  market.  Despite  positive 
feedback following exhibition of the machine at the National China Coal Show in November 2015, no further 
orders have been received. 

In the year in review, PPK did not sell or deliver any COALTRAMs to customers (FY2015: 3 COALTRAMs delivered). 
In the four years FY2011-2014 (prior to PPK ownership) the business delivered in excess of 100 units into the 
market. The current lack of machine sales is reflective of unprecedented levels of capital expenditure restrictions 
at a customer level both domestically and internationally.  

MINING EQUIPMENT SERVICE FACILITIES 

PPK successfully consolidated its Rambor operations at Nowra into both the Firefly Mt Thorley facility and PPK’s 
Port Kembla centre. This process completed in early FY2016, which then resulted in the closure of the Nowra 
Facility. Accordingly, PPK now operates three facilities in NSW located at Tomago, Port Kembla and Mt Thorley.   

Property 

Industrial Property 

As at June 2016, PPK’s remaining industrial property at Seven Hills remains fully tenanted. As previously stated, 
PPK would consider selling the Seven Hills property at the appropriate time and subject to achieving an upper 
quartile  sale  price  which  provided  full  value  for  shareholders.    This  was  achieved  in  January  2017  when  the 
property was sold for $7.875M resulting in a profit on sale of $4.433M. 

Property Development 

PPK continues to hold 22.86% interest in the Kiah Willoughby residential development which is scheduled to be 
complete within the first quarter of FY2017.  By 30 June 2016, almost all construction of the final stages of the 
development had been completed with only final property sales, council approvals, customer settlements and 
a number of legal matters to be resolved. 

PPK also has an 18.75% stake in the Nerang Street Southport Project Trust (Trust), which owns an 11,000 square 
metre development site at Southport, on the Gold Coast. The Trust is currently marketing this site for sale to 
capitalise on the strengthening Gold Coast property market. 

The proceeds from realisations mentioned above, along with those arising in the future, will be used to fund a 
combination  of  debt  reduction,  new  business  acquisitions,  select  further  property  and  other  investment 
opportunities, and capital management strategies. 

Financial Investments 

During the year, PPK advanced $2.647M in mortgage secured loans to entities owning /operating the Couran 
Cove Resort based on South Stradbroke Island in Queensland. This investment was fully funded by non-bank 
borrowings and these borrowings were repaid in September 2016.  PPK had one other short term mortgage 
secured loan totalling $0.4M that was repaid in full during the financial year.   

In addition, the book value of PPK’s share investment portfolio is approximately $2.076M at balance date. 

                          3 
 
 
 
 
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS 

Key Leadership Changes 

In  January  2016,  PPK  announced  the  resignation  of  Chief  Executive  Officer  Peter  Barker.  Accordingly,  Robin 
Levison resumed the role of Executive Chairman. 

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT 

While the board is committed to transforming the size, scope and profitability of PPK, it is equally intent on 
expanding  the  company  in  an  ordered  manner  through  maintaining  a  prudent  and  relatively  conservative 
approach to debt and capital management. With the current challenges in our Mining business, this strategy is 
more important than ever. 

Accordingly,  as  previously  outlined,  PPK  is  seeking  to  strengthen  its  balance  sheet  by  continuing  talks  with 
interested  parties  and  in  particular  the  State  Owned  Chinese  mining  equipment  manufacturer  referred 
previously. 

Further, the following debt re-structuring occurred during the year: 

• 

 Re-financing of $2.79M in Commonwealth Bank debt secured by the mining equipment businesses to 

be secured against the Seven Hills industrial property, thereby mitigating covenant compliance risk. 
•  Re-financing $2.3M in National Australia Bank debt to a non-bank lender, there by mitigating covenant 

compliance risk. 

As such the potential capital cost of all future planned acquisitions will be carefully evaluated to ensure that they 
can be primarily funded internally, and that when required, additional funding via external debt or share issues, 
will not overly negatively impact on PPK’s balance sheet or shareholder value. 

OUTLOOK 

Whilst the mining and general business environment remains challenging, the PPK focus continues to be: 

Our Customers 

a)  Support  our  current  and  seek  new  underground  coal  mining  customers  through  the  sales,  service, 

provision of parts and leasing of our market leading Coaltram, Rambor and Firefly product lines, both 

domestically and internationally. 

b)  Utilise our significant industry experience, connections and supply chain to provide high quality low 

cost  mining and drilling  consumables and underground diesel parts, thus assisting our  customers  in 

lowering their ongoing operational costs. 

Our Products 

c)  Continue to be one of the few Australian original equipment makers (OEMs) incrementally investing in 

the continual development of their products. 

d)  Partner internationally for the sale of current products and new technologies to international markets. 

                          4 
 
 
 
 
 
Our Business 

e)  Recognising the well documented economic challenges in the underground coal mining industry, which 

we serve, leverage our resources and particularly our Board’s considerable experience to diversify our 

revenue streams through investment in appropriate attractive property and financial investments.   

f)  Continue to manage the company as leanly and efficiently as possible. 

Our Group 

g)  Maintain a disciplined and prudent approach to capital management. 
h)  Continue  to  progress  the  proposed  transaction  with  the  State  Owned  Chinese  mining  equipment 

manufacturer, or should it not occur, pursue other merger or financing opportunities with interested 

parties. 

Disappointingly, the depressed trading conditions in the mining sector and particularly the coal mining sector 
have remained. Whilst subsequently there are some very encouraging signs, picking any recovery in this industry 
is extremely difficult.   

Accordingly, the board has determined that PPK should, for the sake of diversity, adopt a two-pronged approach 
of executing on the mining strategy as articulated, plus now continue to leverage its experience in commercial 
and residential property development to invest in appropriate attractive property and other financial investment 
opportunities with a number of potential transactions under active consideration. 

Finally, based on the current trading performance and the continued focus on strong capital management, the 
company  does  not  anticipate  paying  a  dividend  for  the  current  financial  year.      The  Board  is  committed  to 
returning to dividend payments as soon as trading conditions allow.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

•  Winding up and deconsolidation of SLOT Loan Trust 

In September 2015, Supported Living on Tweed Pty Ltd (borrower) repaid $3.235M in loans payable to 
the SLOT Loan Trust. In turn the SLOT Loan Trust repaid $1.684M to external lenders. These comprised 
the primary assets and liabilities of the trust, accordingly, the SLOT loan trust has been wound up during 
the year and accordingly been deconsolidated from the Group. 

•  Debt Restructure 

During the year, PPK borrowed $2.550M from Neruj Pty Ltd ATF Wemole Funding Trust. The loan attracts 
interest  at  15%  per annum,  has an  initial 12 month  term  and is  secured by  second mortgage  over the 
property located at 13A Stanton Road, Seven Hills. PPK Directors Glenn Molloy, Graeme Webb and Robin 
Levison share beneficial ownership and control of the trust. Proceeds from this loan were primarily used 
to fully repay the existing National Australia Bank commercial bill facility of $2.210M. In January 2017, 
upon sale of the Seven Hills Industrial property, the Neruj loan was repaid in full. 

In October 2015, the Commonwealth Bank market rate loan of $2.729M owed by PPK Mining Equipment 
Pty  Ltd  (wholly owned  PPK subsidiary)  was assigned  to  Seven  Hills  Property  Holdings Pty  Ltd  (wholly 
owned PPK subsidiary) along with all the associated security interests. The assignment was funded by 
Seven  Hills  Property  Holdings  Pty  Ltd  borrowing  an  equivalent  amount  from  the  Commonwealth  Bank 
under market rate loan facilities secured by first registered mortgage of the property located at 13A Stanton 
Road, Seven Hills. The term of the Commonwealth Bank loan is 3 years, maturing on the 19th October 
2018. In January 2017, upon sale of the Seven Hills Industrial property, the CBA loan was repaid in full. 

•  Other loans receivable and payable 

In October 2015, PPK (CC) Pty Ltd (wholly owned subsidiary) acquired loans receivable totalling $2.647M 
owed by Couran Cove Holdings Pty Ltd ATF CCH trust and secured by real property located at Couran 
Cove  Resort,  South  Stradbroke  Island.  There  are  multiple  loan  agreements  comprising  the  loans 
receivable with interest of 14 per cent per annum. These loans were repaid in full in September 2016, with 
principal and interest proceeds totalling $2.905M.  

As  funding  for  the  transaction  above,  PPK  borrowed  $2.000m  and  $1.000m  from  Atkone  Pty  Ltd  and 
Contemplator Pty Ltd, respectively, at 10% interest per annum on 2 year terms expiring September 2017. 
The loans are secured by General Security Agreements over the assets of PPK (CC) Pty Ltd and PPK 
Investment Holdings Pty Ltd, together with a Guarantee & Indemnity from PPK Group Limited and PPK 
Investment Holdings Pty Ltd. During the year a further $0.450M was borrowed and $2.225M was repaid 
leaving outstanding borrowings of $1.225M at 30 June 2016. A further $0.275M was advanced post year 
end and in September 2016 these loans were repaid in full.  

•  Nowra facility closure 

In December 2014, PPK completed the acquisition of the Firefly business. Operating from a base at Mt 
Thorley, Firefly sells, services and hires a range of mobile pneumatic (air) powered products for the mining 
industry. The Firefly business compliments PPK's existing Rambor pneumatic products business. Post-
acquisition, PPK consolidated Rambor's operations at Nowra into both the Firefly Mt Thorley facility and 
PPK's Port Kembla centre. This process was completed in early FY 2016 and the Nowra facility was closed 
generating considerable cost savings across the combined businesses. 

• 

Leased Coaltrams 
On 27 June 2016, Glegra Pty Ltd ATF The Coaltram Trust (TCT) being a PPK director related entity (refer 
related party disclosures within the Remuneration Report, page 18) acquired the rights and obligations of 
the lessor on arms-length commercial terms. At 30 June 2016, total liabilities recognised in relation to the 
lease were $2.840M comprising $1.210M unpaid lease payments (rental arrears) and $1.630M onerous 
lease provision.  

There have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs during the 2016 financial year or existing at the 
time of this report.  

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 

Refer note 31 to the financial statements. 

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS  

The likely developments in the operations of PPK and the expected results of those operations in financial years

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 Group’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 Group, 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 $0.275M 
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. 

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: 

(cid:1) 
(cid:1) 
(cid:1) 
(cid:1) 

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: 

(cid:1) 

(cid:1) 

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

REMUNERATION REPORT (audited) (cont.) 

Shares or Options 

No shares or options were issued to executives in the current financial year. 

PPK Group Ltd has a share and loan plan in place with certain key executives. During the 2014 year, they were 
issued with 15.500M shares in the Group at an issue price of $0.70 per share. 

The Group provided the executives with a non-recourse loan to pay for the shares, which expired 27 April 2017.  
The terms of the non-recourse loan provide no obligation on the senior executive to repay the full amount of the 
outstanding loan balance and the Group has the option to sell or buy-back the plan shares as full satisfaction of the 
outstanding loan balance. Each share held in the share and loan plan is entitled to dividends declared on ordinary 
shares. These dividends are not paid in cash to the executives but they are credited against their respective share 
loans and reduce the amounts of interest and/or principle outstanding to the Group. 

The plan is treated as an option for accounting purposes and a one-off share based payment was recognised during 
the 2014 financial year for these share plans. There are no further share based payments expected to arise from 
this plan. The repayment of loans by way of dividend or cash repayment is treated as an increase to issued capital 
for accounting purposes, which during the current financial year was nil (2015: $0.542M).  

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016 

NOTE 1 
CORPORATE INFORMATION  

The financial statements of PPK Group Limited (“PPK” or “the Group”) 
for  the  year  ended  30  June  2016  were  authorised  for  issue  in 
accordance with a resolution of the directors on 23rd June 2017 and 
covers PPK Group Limited and its controlled entities as required by 
the Corporation Act 2001. 

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

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 9. 

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are 
described in the Directors’ Report. 

NOTE 2 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

(a) Basis of Preparation and Statement of Compliance 

The  financial  statements  are  general  purpose  financial  statements 
which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. 

issued  by  The 

The  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial 
Reporting  Standards  (IFRS)  as 
International 
Accounting Standards Board. PPK Group Limited is a for-profit entity. 
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  and  intangible 
assets 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  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same 
reporting period as the parent, using consistent accounting policies.  
The Parent Company, regardless of the nature of its involvement with 
an entity (the investee), determines whether it is a parent by assessing 
control.  All  intercompany  balances  and  transactions,  including 
unrealised  profits  arising  from  intergroup  transactions  have  been 
the 
eliminated.  Unrealised 
transaction  provides  evidence  of  the  impairment  of  the  asset 
transferred.  

losses  are  also  eliminated  unless 

Non-controlling  interests,  presented  as  part  of  equity,  represent  the 
portion of a subsidiary's profit or loss and net assets that is not held 
by  the  Group.  The  Group  attributes  total  comprehensive  income  or 
loss  of subsidiaries  between  the owners  of the  parent  and  the  non-
controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests. 

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 of accounting. Under the 
equity  method  the  Group's  share  of  the  post-acquisition  other 
comprehensive  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. 

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. 

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. 

(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: 

The accounting policies have been consistently applied to the entities 
of the consolidated entity unless otherwise stated.  

Sales of goods 

The financial statements are presented in Australian currency.  

(b) Basis of Consolidation 

Subsidiaries 

The  financial  statements consolidate  those  of the Parent  Company, 
PPK Group Limited, and all of its subsidiaries at 30 June each year.  

The Parent Company, regardless of the nature of its involvement with 
an entity (the investee), determines whether it is a parent by assessing 
control.  

This occurs when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from 
its  involvement  with  the  investee  and  has  the  ability  to  affect  those 
returns.  

Potential  voting  rights  that  are  substantive,  whether  or  not  they  are 
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.  

Revenue  from  the  sale  of  mining  equipment  is  recognised  when 
significant  risk  and  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. 

Revenue from the sale of Coaltram vehicles or spare parts sales are 
recognised when they leave the warehouse and risks and rewards of 
ownership have passed. 

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.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  not  recognised  for  temporary 
differences  between 
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. 

the  carrying  amount  and 

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 and entered into a tax 
sharing  agreement  for  the  whole  of  the  financial  year,  where  each 
subsidiary will compensate PPK Group Limited for the amount of tax 
payable that would be calculated as if the subsidiary was a tax paying 
entity. PPK Group Limited is the head entity in the tax consolidated 
group. The 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 & 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 profit or loss statement in the year that the item 
is derecognised. 

Property, plant and equipment 

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  brought  to  account  at  cost  less, 
where applicable, any accumulated depreciation or amortisation and 
impairment.    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. 

NOTE 2 
SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES 
(continued) 

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 

Gain and loss 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. 

(d) Inventories 

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.  Costs  are  assigned  to 
inventory using an actual 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. 

(e) Trade Receivables & other receivables 

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at original invoice 
amounts  less  an  allowance  for  uncollectable  amounts  and  have 
repayment terms between 30 - 60 days. Collectability is assessed on 
an  ongoing  basis.  Debts  which  are  known  to  be  uncollectable  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  includes  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  collectable  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 de-recognition 
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. 

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.

(h) Non-Current Assets Classified as Held for Resale 

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are those assets whose 
carrying  amounts  will  be  recovered  principally  through  a  sale 
transaction rather than through continuing use and sale is considered 
highly probable. These assets are stated at the lower of their carrying 
amount  and  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  are  not  depreciated  or 
amortised. Interest expense continues to be recognised on liabilities 
of a disposal group classified as an asset held for sale. 

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-
down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised 
for subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset but 
not  exceeding  any  cumulative 
losses  previously 
recognised. 

impairment 

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been 
disposed  of  or  is  classified  as  held  for  sale  and  that  represents  a 
separate major line of business or geographical operations, is part of 
a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area 
of  operations,  or  is  a  subsidiary  acquired  exclusively  with  a  view  to 
resale.  The  results  of  discontinued  operations  are  presented 
separately on the face of the profit or loss. 

(i) Investments and Other Financial Assets 

All investments and other financial assets are initially recorded 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. 

Derecognition 

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. 

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  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  (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 2(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. 

The  fair  value  of  quoted  investments  is  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 
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.

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. 

(j) Leases 

Leases  of  property,  plant  &  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 
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. 

(k) 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 rates at year end. 
The gains and losses from conversion of short term balances, whether 
realised or unrealised, are recognised in profit or loss. 

(l) 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. 

(m) 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 
profit or loss statement over the period of the loans and borrowings 
using the effective interest method.  Bank loans are subject to set-off 
arrangements. 

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 using the projected unit 
credit method. 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 
corporate 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 
superannuation  plans  other 
the 
superannuation  guarantee  legislation.  Contributions  are  recognised 
as expenses as they become payable.

(o) 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. 

(p) Intangible assets 

Brands 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,  at  the 
same time every year. 

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 costs, 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. 

(n) Employee Benefit Provisions 

Patents, Trademarks and Licences 

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 

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 20 years.

NOTE 2 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
(continued) 

(v) Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

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 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. 

(q) 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. 

(r) Borrowing costs 

All borrowing costs are expensed when incurred. 

(s) Share-Based Payments 

The Group recognises an expense for all share-based remuneration 
and  amortises  those  expenses  over  the  relevant  vesting  periods 
where required. 

(t) 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. 

(u) 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. 

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 

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. 

(w) 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. 

(x) Business Combinations 

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over 
one or more businesses. A business combination is accounted for by 
applying  the  acquisition  method.  The  business  combination  will  be 
accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair 
value  of  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  (including 
contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised. 

All  transaction  costs  incurred  in  relation  to  business  combinations 
other  than  those  associated  with the  issue  of  a  financial  instrument 
are  recognised  as  expenses  in  profit  or  loss  when  incurred.  The 
acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a 
gain from a bargain purchase. 

(y)  New  and  revised  Standards  that  are  effective  for  these 
financial statements 

PPK  has  adopted  all  of  the  new,  revised  or  amending  Accounting 
Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting 
Standards Board “AASB” that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period. 

Adoption  of  these  standards  and  interpretations  did  not  have  any 
effect on the statements of financial position or performance of PPK. 

Information of these standards is presented below. 

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

company's shareholders as a whole; and   

AASB 2012-3 Offsetting Financial Assets and Liabilities 

(c)  The  payment  of  the  dividend  does  not  materially 
prejudice the company's ability to pay its creditors. 

►  adds  application  guidance  to  AASB  132  Financial  Instruments: 
Presentation  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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
(continued) 

AASB  2013-3:  Amendments  to  AASB  136  –  Recoverable  Amount 
Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets 

►  includes the requirement to disclose additional information about 
the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based 
on fair value less costs of disposal. 

(z)  New  Accounting  Standards  and  interpretations  not  yet 
adopted 

No new accounting standards and interpretations, that are available 
for early adoption at 30 June 2015, 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. 

Standards issued but not yet adopted are as follows 

AASB 9 - Financial Instruments (applies from 1 January 2018) 

► 

Simplifies measurement and classification of financial liabilities.  
For example financial assets can be designated and measured 
at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if doing so 
eliminates  or  significantly 
reduces  a  measurement  or 
recognition inconsistency.   

Furthermore AASB 9 introduces a new impairment model based 
on expected credit losses. 

AASB 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applies from 1 
January 2017) 

► 

Establishes a new revenue recognition model and changes the 
basis for deciding whether revenue is to be recognised over time 
or  at  a  point  in  time.    It  also  provides  new  and  more  detailed 
guidance on specific topics. 

AASB 16 - Leases (applies from 1 January 2019) 

► 

The new standard will be effective for annual periods beginning 
on  or  after  1  January  2019.    Early  application  is  permitted, 
provided  the  new  revenue  standard,  AASB  15  Revenue  from 
Contracts with Customers, has been applied, or is applied at the 
same date as AASB 16.  The key features of AASB 16 are as 
follows: 

Lessee accounting 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Lessees are required to recognise assets and liabilities for 
all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the 
underlying asset is of low value. 

A  lessee  measures  right-of-use  assets  similarly  to  other 
non-financial  assets  and  lease  liabilities  similarly  to  other 
financial liabilities. 

Assets  and  liabilities  arising  from  a  lease  are  initially 
measured  on  a  present  value  basis.  The  measurement 
includes  non-cancellable 
(including 
inflation-linked  payments),  and  also  includes  payments  to 
be  made  in  optional  periods  if  the  lessee  is  reasonably 
certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to 
exercise an option to terminate the lease. 

lease  payments 

AASB 16 contains disclosure requirements for lessees. 

The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of 
its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group. 

(aa)  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.   

Key estimates – Impairment 

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  is 
determined for  the asset or cash generating unit to which the asset 
has been allocated. Where the recoverable amount is based on value 
in use, discounted cash flow calculations have been prepared which  
incorporate a number of key estimates. Estimated future cash flows 
are  based  on  past  experience,  actual  operating  results,  annual 
budgets,  business  plans  and  long  term  strategy  for  the  cash 
generating unit. In particular, past experience is relevant when forming 
expectations in a recovering mining sector. 

Key assumptions include: 

Non-Manufacturing CGU:

to yr 5)

Manufacturing CGU: 
New Coaltram sales of between 4 to 10 per year (2015: 6 per year).  
Terminal and discount rates are as per above. 

The  discount  rate  was  calculated  based  on  the  Group’s  weighted 
average cost of capital, an average of beta’s within the industry, risk 
free rate based on Australian government 10-year treasury bonds, a 
market risk premium of 6% and a calculated cost of debt based on the 
Group’s current debt and interest rates payable on this debt. 

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 investments in the certain 
listed companies were impaired resulting in the following impairment 
losses being taken up in profit or loss on these investments.

financial assets were impaired at balance date. 

Investment in Associates 

The Group's investments in associated 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.

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.  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.  

(ab)  Going Concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern 
basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities 
and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal 
course of business. As articulated in this report, the financial 
performance for the group’s Mining Equipment business segment 
has been materially impacted by the severe economic conditions 
affecting the underground coal mining industry during the financial 
year and subsequently. In particular, customer capital expenditure 
restrictions have been detrimental to PPK’s Coaltram mining 
equipment sales. Accordingly, in the 2016 financial year the Group 
recorded a loss of $7.740M after tax and consumed $6.230M in 
operating cash flows. On 23rd June 2017, being the date of approval 
of the financial report, the Directors believe it is appropriate to 
prepare the financial report on a going concern basis.  In making this 
assessment the directors have identified and considered: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

As at the end of the 2016 financial year, and at all times 
subsequently, the Group has been able to meet its 
obligations as and when they fell due;  

The Group currently enjoys low levels of debt financing 
and the Directors are confident that additional debt 
financing would be available if required; 

Industry conditions and the operating performance of the 
group’s mining equipment segment is improving and the 
company is currently responding to enquiries for the sale 
of Coaltram mining equipment with a number of 
customers; and 

The Group has a history of strong support from the 
majority of shareholders and has an expectation that this 
will continue. 

NOTE 2 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
(continued) 

Investment Properties 

All  investment  properties  have  been  included  in  the  financial 
statements  at  cost.  The  last  independent  valuation  of  investment 
properties was conducted in November 2014, which indicated that no 
impairment was necessary. 

Goodwill, Brand Names, Plant and Equipment 

No  impairment  charges  with  respect  to  goodwill,  brand  names, 
patents, licences and development costs were recognised during the 
year ended 30 June 2016. 

In 2015 impairment charges of $7.696M were recognised in respect 
of  goodwill,  brand  names,  patents,  licences  and  development costs 
and $0.489M for plant and equipment for the financial year reflecting 
the challenging  industry conditions  particularly in the second  half  of 
the 2015 financial year.  Refer to note 18 for details of assumptions 
used in estimating the recoverable amount of intangible assets. 

Deferred Tax Asset 

Deferred  tax  asset  is  only  recognised  to  the  extent  that  there  is 
reasonable certainty of realising future taxable amounts sufficient to 
recover the carrying value. Due to carry forward tax losses exceeding 
$15.000M  and  an  expectation  that  the  current  challenging  industry 
conditions  would  continue in the short  term,  the  Directors  assessed 
that deferred tax assets would only be recognised to the extent of, and 
offset against, available deferred tax liabilities.  

No  deferred  tax  assets  were  recognised  during  the  year.  No 
impairment  of  previously  recognised  deferred  tax  assets  was 
recognised during the year (2015: $0.073M). Refer note 4 and note 
17(a) for further details. 

Inventory 

Inventory  is  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  net  realisable  value.  
Estimates  of  net  realisable  value  are  based  on  the  most  reliable 
evidence available at the time the estimates are made of the amount 
the  inventories  are  expected  to  realise  and the  estimate  of  costs to 
complete.  Key assumptions require the use of management judgment 
which are continually reviewed.  Management’s assessment resulted 
in  an  inventory  write-down  of  $0.682M  (2015:  $2.191M)  during  the 
year. Refer note 3(d). 

Warranty Provision 

Provisions  for  product  warranties  are  based  on  current  volumes  of 
products  sold  still  under  warranty  and  on  historic  quality  rates  for 
mature  products  as  well  as  estimates  and  assumptions  on  future 
quality rates for new products and estimates of costs to remedy the 
various qualitative issues that might occur. Total provisions for product 
warranties as at year end was $0.040M (2015: $0.140M). 

Key judgements  

Cash Generating Units (CGU) 

A key judgement has been the determination of cash generating units 
relating to the assessment of assets for impairment. The Group has 
determined the existence of two cash generating units for the mining 
equipment  segment:  Manufacture  (design,  build  and  sale  of  capital 
equipment)  and  Non-Manufacture  (service,  repair,  hire  and  spare 
parts distribution).

Listed investments are recorded at fair value based on the ASX closing price at 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  equity  in  other 
comprehensive income through a reserve, 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.  

In the 2015 financial year, Additions at Cost included $2.221M in shares received as part of the consideration on sale of the Easy Living subsidiary 
investments.

A deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that there is reasonable certainty of realising future taxable amounts sufficient to recover the 
carrying value. Due to carry forward tax losses exceeding $15.000M and an expectation that the current challenging industry conditions would 
continue in the short term, the Directors assessed that deferred tax assets would only be recognised to the extent of, and offset against, available 
deferred tax liabilities. As a result, an impairment of previously recognised deferred tax assets of nil (2015: $0.073M) was recognised.

NOTE 18  INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Cont’d) 
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 20 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 
its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, 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 estimated useful life of 7 years. They are tested annually for impairment with any impairment losses being charged to profit or loss. 

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 Group 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 

At balance date PPK assessed certain non-current assets at their cash generating unit level for impairment.  No intangibles were written down 
during the year (2015: $7.696M). 

The remaining intangibles balance of $0.079M (2015: $0.120M) relates to acquired software.

NOTE 21  PROVISIONS (Cont’d) 

Warranty provisions comprise estimated costs to perform repairs to mining equipment while under warranty. 

Make good provision comprise estimated costs to return leased premises to their original condition on expiry of the lease. 

A $2.000M onerous lease provision was recognised for 2015 in relation to long term lease contracts entered into for seven COALTRAMS with an 
industry finance provider.  PPK has determined that the lease payments are considerably higher than corresponding revenue currently expected 
in the short term hire environment.  At 30 June 2016, the onerous lease provision is $1.630M, as a result of net writebacks of $0.370M (being 
$0.550M gross writeback less $0.180M associated interest).

The major facilities are summarised as follows: 

Banking overdrafts 
As at the date of this report the Group has no bank overdraft facilities (2015: $0.940M with National Australia Bank). 

Commercial bill facilities 
Provided by the National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB). 
Variable interest rate facilities provided by the NAB facility were extinguished during the financial year and at reporting date were Nil 
(2015 $2.210M).  The interest rate on the facilities was 4.90% (2015: 4.89%) inclusive of bank margins. 

Provided by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd (CBA). 
$2.730M (2015: $2.667M) of market rate facilities are provided by the CBA, maturing in October 2018, secured by first mortgage over 
the property located at 13A Stanton Road, Seven Hills. 

Market rate interest banking facilities with the CBA were renegotiated during the year and are subject to interest only payments and 
annual review. 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 7.03% (2015: 6.11%) inclusive of bank margins. 

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

Non Bank Loans 

PPK (CC) Pty Ltd non-bank loans of $1.225M is provided on terms of interest at 10% per annum, and expires in September 2017.  The 
loans are secured by General Security Agreements over the assets of PPK (CC) Pty Ltd and PPK Investment Holdings Pty Ltd, together 
with a Guarantee & Indemnity from PPK Group Limited and PPK Investment Holdings Pty Ltd. 

PPK Investment Holdings Pty Ltd non-bank loan of $2.757M attracts interest at 15% per annum, has an initial 12 month term and is 
secured by second mortgage over the property located at 13A Stanton Road, Seven Hills, NSW.

Capital Risk Management  

The Group considers its capital to comprise its ordinary share capital, reserves and retained earnings. 

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 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.

[1]   The  available-for-sale  financial  assets  reserve  carries  fair  value  adjustments  made  to  available-for-sale  financial  assets  which  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income. When an available-for-sale financial asset is either sold or considered impaired the amount held in this reserve is recognised in the profit 
or loss. 

[2] 

The share options reserve is used to recognise the value of equity settled share-based payments provided to employees, including key management personnel, 
as part of their remuneration and business vendors as part of business combination agreements.  The current financial year share based payment expense of 
$0.103M relates wholly to a business combination. In accordance with the terms of the business combination in October 2014 the vendor employee may receive 
$1.000M in PPK Group Limited ordinary share capital in two $0.500M tranches over two years. As per this agreement and having met the vesting conditions the 
vendor was issued 0.667M shares on 16 October 2015 being the first $0.500M tranche. Further the vesting conditions for the second tranche of $0.500M shares 
due on 16 October 2016 were not met and accordingly no shares issued.  

The terms and condition of the contract effectively makes the agreement a share options instrument under AASB 2 Share-based Payments and does not form part 
of the consideration paid for the acquisition in accordance AASB 3 Business Combinations. The fair value of the options at issue date is deemed to represent the 
value of employee services received over the vesting period, recognised as a proportional share-based payment expense during each reporting period, with the 
corresponding credit taken to a Share Option Reserve. 

[3] 

The foreign currency translation reserve is used for consolidation purposes to recognise exchange differences arising on translation of PPK’s foreign subsidiary 
PPK (Beijing) Mining Equipment Co., Ltd.

Fair Value  
The carrying values of financial assets and liabilities listed above approximate their fair value. 

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 AASB13 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. 

(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 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.

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%.

(18) 

18 

(25) 

25 

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 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 available for sale reserve unless 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 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.

(iii) Currency Risk 
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  was  not  exposed  to  exchange  rate transaction  risk  on  foreign currency sales  during  the  year.  The  Group  was  not  exposed  to 
significant exchange rate risk on purchases during the year. Sales revenue for the Group for the year was all denominated in Australian dollars (2015: 
5% of sales were made primarily in USD). The Group does not take forward cover or hedge and was therefore at risk in relation to foreign currency 
movements during the year.  The Group operates an office in Beijing, China and maintains CNY and USD bank accounts in relation to this office. At 
balance date these accounts comprised approximately 9.9% (2015: 1.7%) of cash at bank. 

(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 to 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 agreement with 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 that entity. Refer to note 11 for detail on the Group's trade and other receivables. The Group's 
exposure to credit risk at balance date by country of loans and receivables is as follows:

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 loans, other loans 
and hire purchase contracts. The Group and parent's exposure to liquidity risk is not significant based on available funding facilities and cash flow 
forecasts. Details of the Group’s financing facilities are set-out in note 22. 

Financial Liabilities maturity analysis 
The tables below reflect the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for the Group’s 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.  

The CBA market rate loan facility of $2.730M (fully used at balance date) expires in October 2018 and is subject to quarterly review. 

These renewal dates have been used for disclosure of maturity dates of bank overdraft and loans, even though they are subject to periodic 
review as there is no reason to believe that the facilities will be altered by the bank at the time of annual review. This bank loan was subsequently 
repaid in the 2017 reporting year, refer to Note 31.

NOTE 31    EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD 

Onerous lease  
On 27 June 2016, Glegra Pty Ltd ATF The Coaltram Trust (TCT) being a PPK director related entity (refer related party disclosures in the Audited 
Remuneration Report in the Directors Report) acquired the rights and obligations of the lessor on arms-length commercial terms. At 30 June 2016, 
total liabilities recognised in relation to the lease were $2.840M comprising $1.210M unpaid lease payments (rental arrears) and $1.630M onerous 
lease  provision. PPK  has  paid  TCT  rental  arrears  to  31st  August 2016  and  subsequent monthly  amounts  remain  outstanding  as mutually  agreed 
between PPK and TCT. 

Other loans receivable and payable 
In October 2015, PPK (CC) Pty Ltd (wholly owned subsidiary) acquired loans receivable totalling $2.647M owed by Couran Cove Holdings Pty Ltd 
ATF CCH trust and secured by real property located at Couran Cove Resort, South Stradbroke Island. These loans were repaid in full in September 
2016, with principal and interest proceeds totalling $2.905M.  

Further to the Non-Bank Loan payable of $1.225M in note 22, an additional $0.275M was advanced post year end and the full amount of these loans 
was repaid in September 2016. 

In May 2017, secured loans of $1.25M were received from entities associated with PPK Director Glenn Molloy. Loan proceeds were used to repay the 
Mt Thorley premises vendor loan of $1.037M and the balance for capital expenditure and net working capital purposes. These loans were provided 
under a one year term and attract interest of 10% per annum. The loans are secured by a first ranking mortgage over the property located at 25 Thrift 
Close Mt Thorley and General Security Agreements and Specific Security Agreements for entities related to these premises or the Firefly business 
operating from these premises.  

Sale of Industrial Property and Debt repayment 
In January 2017, the Seven Hills (NSW) Investment property was sold for $7.875M resulting in a profit on sale of $4.433M.  Proceeds on sale were 
used to repay the Commonwealth Bank market rate loan of $2.729M and Neruj Pty Ltd ATF Wemole Funding Trust loan of $3.195M (inclusive of 
interest and further advances from initial loan of $2.550M).  

Share Portfolio 
PPK’s share portfolio is materially comprised of one key ASX listed stock, being Eureka Group Holdings (EGH).  As at 30 June 2015, the EGH share 
price was $0.51 and PPK held 6.450M shares at a value of $3.290M. During the FY16 year 4.032M EGH shares were sold at an average price of 
$0.646 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $2.603M.  Furthermore, to date in FY17, 2.038M shares have been sold at an average price of 
$0.379 per share, for proceeds of $0.772M.  The total EGH shareholding remaining as at the 12th June 2017 was 0.400M shares at $0.36. 

Shares based payment and new share issue 
Further to share based payment comments in note 24, in accordance with the terms of a business combination in October 2014 the vendor 
employee may receive $1.000M in PPK Group Limited ordinary share capital in two $0.500M tranches over two years. As per this agreement and 
having met the vesting conditions the vendor was issued 0.667M shares on 16 October 2015 being the first $0.500M tranche. Further, the vesting 
conditions for the second tranche of $0.500M shares due on 16 October 2016 were not met and accordingly no shares issued. 

Employee Share and Loan Plan 

As noted in the Remuneration Report, key executives had a non-recourse loan which expired 27th April 2017. The outstanding loan balance has not 
been repaid (pursuant to the non-recourse terms) and PPK is considering its options to sell or buy-back/cancel these shares. 

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since the end of the financial year which is not otherwise dealt with in this report or in the Consolidated 
Financial Statements that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those 
operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Report 
To the Members of PPK Group Limited 

Report on the financial report 
We have audited the accompanying financial report of PPK Group Limited (the 
“Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2016, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for 
the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and 
other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity 
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. The Directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as 
the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that 
gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error. The Directors also state, in the notes to the financial report, in accordance with 
Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, the financial 
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 

Auditor’s responsibility 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We 
conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards 
require us to 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 
Company’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 Company’s internal control. An audit 
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence 
In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001.   

Auditor’s opinion 
In our opinion: 
a 

the financial report of PPK Group Limited is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including: 

i 

ii 

giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as 30 
June 2016 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and 
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations 
Regulations 2001; and 

b 

the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as 
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.  

Emphasis of matter 
Without  qualification  to  our  opinion,  we  draw  attention  to  Note  2(ab)  to  the  financial 
report,  which  indicates  that  the  group  incurred  a  loss  after  tax  of  $7,740,000  for  the  year 
ended 30 June 2016, and net operating cash outflows of $6,230,000 for the year then ended. 
These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2(ab), indicate the existence 
of  a  material  uncertainty  which  may  cast  significant  doubt  about  the  group’s  ability  to 
continue as a going concern and therefore, the group may be unable to realise its assets and 
discharge  its  liabilities  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  and  at  the  amounts  stated  in  the 
financial report. 

Report on the remuneration report  
We have audited the remuneration report included in pages 12 to 20 of the directors’ report 
for the year ended 30 June 2016. The Directors of the Company are responsible for the 
preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of 
the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the remuneration 
report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. 

Auditor’s opinion on the remuneration report 
In our opinion, the remuneration report of PPK Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 
2016, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
