Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2011

1.	

Results

Net  profit  after  tax  for  the  Group  was  $0.657  million 
in  2011  compared  to  $1.647  million  in  2010.  Basic 
earnings  per  share  were  2.04  cents  (5.52  cents  in 
2010). The above result was achieved after expensing 
an unrealised loss on foreign exchange of $2.274 million 
caused by a mismatch of Australian dollar denominated 
debt for assets earning revenues in USD. An analysis of 
operational earnings is set out in Section 2 below, which 
identifies the operational progress made during the year.

The  2011  result  represented  a  return  on  average 
shareholders’  funds  of  1.53%  (3.99% 
in  2010). 
Adjusting  for  the  unrealised  loss  on  foreign  exchange 
(tax effected) the return increases to 5.25% on average 
shareholders’ funds. No dividend will be paid for the June 
2011 year (2010: nil). The emphasis on debt reduction 
means that it is highly unlikely that a dividend will be paid 
in the 2012 year.

The above table clearly shows the significant operational 
progress  made  during  the  year.  This  was  a  very 
encouraging  operational  result  in  an  extremely  testing 
business environment. Discussion on the trading of each 
division of the business is set out in Section 4.

The  result  has  been  achieved  while  managing  an 
aggressive loan repayment program and a strengthening 
of the AUD against the USD. The budget was based on 
a USD exchange rate of 0.90 but the actual rate was in 
a range of 1.02 to 1.09 for the last six months of the 
financial  year.  The  exchange  rate  effect  is  discussed  in 
Section 4.

To  meet  these  challenges  the  Group  implemented  a 
number of strategies. These included:

■■

■■

■■

■■

A  restructuring  of  and  repayment  of  financing 
facilities; 
A shift back to core trading activities; 
A major focus on asset utilisation and deployment;
A  focus  on  process  development,  expanding 
engine  care  and  maintenance  contracts,  and 
building the skill base in the engine workshop.

Restructure	and	repayment	of	financing	
facilities

The  Group  continues  to  make  substantial  progress 
in  working  through  the  issues  created  by  the  Global 
Financial Crisis (GFC) and continuing appreciation of the 
Australian  dollar  in  what  is  basically  a  US  dollar-based 
trading business.

The  Group  has  paid  down  $4.5  million  of  debt  in  the 
2011  financial  year.  The  level  of  debt  repayment 
has  meant  the  business  has  been  focused  on  cash 
management substantially at the expense of some new 
initiatives and trading opportunities.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

The Group expects to reduce the level of debt repayment 
on  the  CBA  Emerald  loan  which  will  provide  working 
capital for additional profit earning opportunities.

new customers. The business unit’s potential customers 
tend to be in difficult and challenging areas of the world 
where PTB’s skill in providing a complete engine support 
package is of benefit to the operator.

On 31 December 2010 the Group repaid $4.589 million 
in Notes funded by a $4.0 million facility sourced from 
the CBA Bank, with the balance from working capital.

It should be noted that in the previous financial year (in 
January 2010) the Emerald Financier’s loan to the Group 
was $15 million. This loan was refinanced with CBA and 
at 30 June 2011 the loan had been reduced to $5.685 
million. This has been an outstanding achievement.

Shift	back	to	core	trading	activities

IAP	Business

IAP  is  focused  on  selling  down  its  inventory  and 
consolidating into more modern product lines and lines 
for which it has established markets. The traditional parts 
business has been impacted by the AUD/USD exchange 
rate and product mix. The dollar value for spares sales 
is  down  on  prior  years  and  the  margin  is  significantly 
reduced.  The  short  fall  is  expected  to  be  taken  up  by 
one-off trading opportunities.

The  one-off  trading  opportunities  expected  to  be 
completed  in  the  new  financial  year  are  three  Fokker 
F100 aircraft and an externally funded MD82 aircraft.

The Group has funded the IAP purchase of five Fokker 
F100 aircraft. Two of these aircraft have been ferried to 
South Africa by the expected end user. The project the 
aircraft are to have been used on has been slow coming 
to  fruition,  however  a  sale  is  expected  in  the  2012 
financial year. The South African operator is responsible 
for the ferry of the third F100 to South Africa. Two of 
the  remaining  Fokker  F100  aircraft  have  been  broken 
down into parts and will provide a modern product line 
for the parts business.

During  2011  IAP  purchased  an  F27  aircraft  with  the 
cash  cost  covered  by  the  sale  of  the  airframe  and 
propellers. The engines and spares package are available 
for sale with minimal cost attached.

These  deals  are  core  trading  activities.  Craig  Baker  is 
spending time each week in Sydney and manages the IAP 
parts business to free up Steve Ferris, the IAP managing 
director  to  focus  on  trading  and  aircraft  opportunities. 
This operational change is working well.

PTB	Brisbane

PTB  continues  to  concentrate  on  PT6  and  TPE331 
engine  support  for  its  current  customers  and  has 
senior  sales  personnel  undertaking  international  travel 
supporting  existing  customers  and  looking  to  develop 

An additional margin from PTB’s engine support program 
is the supply of aircraft parts to its contract customers 
and as the contract customers grow this business grows.

Focus	on	asset	utilisation	and	deployment

The  Emerald  business  and 
IAP  continue  to  have 
underutilised aviation assets. Our cash constraints have 
made it difficult to pursue opportunities. Also aspects of 
various  loan  covenants  relating  to  geographical  spread 
of  assets  overseas  hinders  lease  deployment  for  some 
of these assets. 

The Emerald assets of one small door ATP freighter, one 
ATP  passenger  and  two  HS748  aircraft  are  in  the  UK 
under care and maintenance programs. Before the GFC 
these aircraft were leased or about to commence leases 
in Europe and the UK. This region has not recovered with 
little prospect these aircraft will be utilised in Europe or 
the UK.

We  continue  to  investigate  opportunities  for  these 
aircraft and it is becoming apparent there are potential 
opportunities  in  Australia,  PNG  and  Indonesia.  To  take 
advantage  of  these  opportunities  the  Group  will  need 
to offer the aircraft on an ACMI basis (aircraft, crewed, 
maintained  and  insured).  To  provide  aircraft  on  an  
ACMI  basis  they  need  to  be  on  an  Air  Operator  
Certificate (AOC). 

The  first  step  is  to  relocate  a  UK  based  aircraft  to 
Australia and place it on an AOC. This process requires 
cash and is budgeted to roll out in 2012.

IAP has a Metro 23 with fresh paint and a new interior 
which is available for immediate lease. There have been 
opportunities  to  lease  this  aircraft  off  shore  but  the 
aircraft  financier  has  prevented  overseas  deployment. 
The  Group  expects  to  lease  this  aircraft  in  the  new 
financial  year.  IAP  also  has  two  BAE  J32  passenger 
aircraft. These require major checks and refurbishment 
before they can be offered for sale or lease. At this stage 
IAP does not plan to invest cash in these aircraft until it 
has a customer.

The  Group  has  aircraft  on  operating  leases  or  finance 
leases  in  Australia,  Indonesia,  Bangladesh,  Africa  and 
South Korea.

The IAP and PTB businesses continue to focus on the sell 
down and management of inventory. These products are 
mostly demand-based products and sales opportunities 
only arise as a product is required.

A.	

Process	development

The  Group’s  major  cost  is  labour.  PTB  has  focused  on 
developing  smarter  processes  and  making  continuous 
improvements  to  ensure  productive  employees  are 
maximising  the  time  they  spend  utilising  their  skills. 
These  processes  also  focus  on  limiting  the  growth  of 
staff in support functions.

The actual volume growth at PTB in the last two years 
has been significant and this has been achieved with the 
addition  of  a  limited  number  of  productive  staff  and 
support staff as a result of the focus on process. This has 
been achieved without jeopardising the entrepreneurial 
nature of the business.

This  is  a  continuing  process  in  PTB  and  over  the  new 
financial  year  management  expects  to  deliver  further 
process improvements at IAP.

PTB’s  engine  workshop  contributes  around  50%  of  its 
margin.  The  workshop  is  the  key  to  extracting  value 
from  parts  and  is  a  major  factor  in  the  success  of  our 
engine maintenance contracts. The major challenge for 
the workshop has been to attract turbine engineers with 
our workplace ethos. 

To  meet  this  challenge  PTB  has  taken  on  a  number  of 
apprentices  who  are  part  way  through  their  training 
program  and  can  be  developed  with  the  Company’s 
workplace ethos. The focus is to have a small highly skilled 
workshop to extract the maximum profit opportunities 
from  the  work  generated  from  our  contracts  and 
subcontract the lower profit opportunity work.

All the above may appear to be business basics but until 
we ensure we are operating the current businesses the 
smartest way possible and are utilising assets to their full 
potential the Group will not achieve the desired level of 
market recognition.

AUD/USD	exchange	rate

The  continued  strengthening  of  the  Australian  dollar 
against  the  US  dollar  had  a  major  impact  on  Group 
performance,  and  significant  unrealised  losses  were 
incurred  on  the  net  USD  receivables  exposure  of  the 
Group. 

The exchange rate (against the USD) has been volatile 
over the past 12 months ranging from $0.85 at 30 June 
2010 to $1.01 at 31 December 2010 and to a high of 
$1.09 in April 2011. At 30 June 2011 it was $1.06.

A large part of PTB Group’s trading is undertaken in US 
dollars and in US dollar valued assets which means that 
the  conversion  to  Australian  dollars  has  a  significant 

negative impact on the gross margins and sales of the 
PTB  and  IAP  businesses  when  the  AUD  appreciates 
against the USD. As the industry is USD based, all trading 
in AUD is effectively denominated by the USD exchange 
rate.

Long  term  USD  exposures  were  originally  funded  in 
USD,  thus  providing  a  natural  hedge.  Unfortunately 
one of our earlier financiers withdrew this USD funding 
arrangement  resulting  in  matching  USD  funding  being 
restated  to  AUD.  Subsequent  financiers  were  also  not 
able  to  provide  USD  funding.  The  loss  of  this  natural 
hedge  for  this  specific  exposure  crystalised  a  $2.463 
million  currency  translation  loss  when  the  USD  facility 
was withdrawn in the 2009 year.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

This exposure to the USD continues to have a material 
impact,  particularly  due 
to  unrealised  currency 
translation restatements while the AUD strengthens. It 
is expected that some or all of this unrealised loss will 
reverse  over  the  life  of  these  transactions,  some  of 
which extend to four years.

The  volatile  nature  of  the  AUD/USD  exchange  rate  is 
something we have no control over and to hedge at this 
stage in the cycle is not considered prudent.

The  aviation  assets  we  buy  and  sell  are  world 
commodities sold in US dollars. The continuing weakness 
of the US dollar has a major impact on our margin. An 
item sold for USD $200 with a USD $100 margin at an 
AUD/USD  exchange  rate  of  .90  produces  a  margin  of 
AUD $111. At an AUD/USD exchange rate of 1.06 the 
margin  is  AUD$  94.  This  is  a  15%  reduction  in  margin 
and requires a 18% increase in sales volume to achieve 
the same overall forecast dollar margin.

This  reduction  in  margin  is  for  items  bought  and  sold 
at  a  similar  exchange  rate.  For  items  purchased  some 
time ago when the exchange rate was less than .90 the 
margin is reduced further.

PTB	Business	Performance

The  PTB  Brisbane  business  generated  a  profit  before 
tax of $2.919 million. This result is ahead of budget in 
USD terms with the stronger AUD/USD exchange rate 
resulting in slightly lower than budget result.

This is an outstanding result as during the year PTB has 
had to manage a number of negatives.

Income from rentals for the year was reduced as income 
from  the  lease  of  PTB’s  PNG  based  Air  Ambulance 
ceased with the loss of this aircraft on 31 August 2010 
due to an accident. This aircraft was a significant margin 
contributor. The Company’s insurance did not fully cover 
the aircraft book value with an AUD 0.451 million loss 
being incurred.

Engine  rental  income  has  declined  as  the  funding 
pressure on our working capital has meant we have not 
been replacing rental engines when they become due for 
replacement. Retired engines have been parted out.

Engine  sales  margins  have  reduced  as  the  production-
focused  OEM  approved  volume  shops  have  been  very 
aggressive  with  their  pricing  to  maintain  volume.  Our 
engine  contracts  often  have  a  fixed  fee  for  engine 
purchases  and  the  lower  volume  of  engine  sales  has 
resulted  in  a  higher  mix  of  low  margin  contract  sales 
which  has  reduced  average  engine  sales  margins  and 
increased the level of work in the workshop. 

The  strengthening  exchange  rate  and  reduced  engine 
sales margins has meant in the last six months we have 
had  to  increase  volume  by  around  20%  to  provide  the 
same  level  of  contribution.  These  shortfalls  have  been 
met by an increased workshop and parts sales revenue/
volume.  Both  these  increases  have  been  underwritten 
improved 
by 
process and staffing levels. PTB Brisbane’s prospects for 
the future are very positive. 

increased  contract  business  and  the 

The  benefits  of  our  Engine  Maintenance  Contract 
agreements cannot be underestimated as to their value 
in  providing  our  engine  business  with  a  base  load.  PTB 
Brisbane  continues  to  develop  its  regional  customer 
base and each new and established customer is another 
potential contract customer.

PTB Brisbane has a number of future initiatives that will 
grow and strengthen the business. These include:

■■

■■

■■

■■

Engine  finance  -  This  is  a  very  valuable  engine 
sales  tool  and  in  today’s  financial  climate  would 
generate additional new business. We expect at 
some time in the near future to be in a position 
to again offer engine finance which will enhance 
growth in this area.
PT6A  engine  test  cell  -  The  Brisbane  business 
continues  to  plan  for  the  installation  of  a  PT6A 
engine  test  cell  for  when  suitable  finance 
becomes available. A test cell would significantly 
expand  the  profit  opportunities  for  Brisbane  in 
the  PT6A  engine  repair  and  overhaul  business. 
We currently subcontract all the major overhaul 
and PT6A repair work to shops in the USA. With 
a test cell we would only carry out selected high 
profit  repair  and  overhaul  PT6A  work  that  we 
currently subcontract to the USA.
Test additional engine types - The engine test cell 
will  have  the  capacity  to  test  additional  engine 
types.  This  will  provide  the  basis  for  further 
growth in the future through an additional engine 
line. The key to progressing with the engine test 
cell  is  our  ability  to  finance  the  required  $2.2 
million of capital expenditure.
Full PT6A engine repairs - We expect to start full 
PT6A engine repairs on a limited basis in the new 
financial year. However without a test cell we will 
have  to  subcontract  the  engine  testing  to  the 
USA which will not be ideal operationally. 

IAP	Business	performance

The IAP business generated a profit before tax of $2.128 
million,  which  is  well  ahead  of  budget  when  restating 
the  result  at  the  budget  exchange  rate  assumption  of 
$0.90, and significantly stronger than the 2010 result 
of  $0.598  million.  This  result  was  underpinned  by  the 
margin from the MD90 transaction.

in continue to be impacted with the parking of aircraft 
around  the  world.  Operators  ‘Christmas  Tree’  these 
aircraft  by  removing  parts  to  keep  their  remaining 
aircraft flying which further delays their potential parts 
purchases from IAP.

The IAP parts business continues to be challenged with 
reduced  enquiries  from  its  traditional  clients  and  the 
exchange  rate  effect  on  its  margins  which  are  further 
eroded  by  the  strengthening  AUD  increasing  the  USD 
equivalent  cost  of  prior  periods  USD  purchases  of 
inventory.

The lease of the J32 and Metro 23 aircraft continues to 
create long-term parts sales opportunities for  IAP and 
engine repair and overhaul opportunities for Brisbane. 

The two LFD ATP’s operating in Indonesia have not flown 
the expected hours but even at the lower level of flying 
they have provided a new product line in ATP spares for 
IAP. The HS748’s operating in Bangladesh and Africa are 
engine and parts sales opportunities for IAP.

IAP  is  actively  working  on  initiatives  to  underpin  the 
IAP business into the future. The key strategy with the 
shift back to core trading activities has started with the 
transactions involving the five Fokker F100’s, the MD82 
and the F27.

The  IAP  parts  business  focus  is  to  turn  inventory 
into  cash,  reduce  the  number  of  product  lines,  and 
concentrate  on  supporting  its  lease  customers  and  its 
niche  product  lines.  The  F100  purchase  has  created  a 
new  modern  product  line  and  new  specialist  product 
lines need to be created in engines and airframes.

The one off trading activities will continue to be required 
to underwrite the short fall in the traditional IAP parts 
business sales and margin. As mentioned earlier we have 
three Fokker F100’s, and the MD82 as potential trading 
opportunities for the new financial year and beyond. 

Access  to  working  capital  is  important  for  the  future 
growth  of  the  core  IAP  business.  The  very  nature  of 
the  purchasing  opportunities  for  new  product  lines 
and aircraft part-out opportunities is very lumpy in its 
working capital requirements.

Emerald	Assets

The  Emerald  PBT  loss  was  $2.699  million  of  which 
$2.670  million  was  foreign  exchange  loss.  Emerald 
made  an  operational  PBT  loss  (excluding  total  FX  loss) 
of $0.029 million. This is a $1.555 million improvement 
against the 2010 operational loss of $1.584 million.

The reduction of interest as a result of the CBA refinance 
package  resulted  in  a  $0.955  million  interest  saving  in 
the Emerald result.

The  global  financial  crisis,  and  in  particular  the  impact 
on Europe and the UK continues to have a major effect 
on  this  division  and  the  Group’s  results.  The  insurance, 
airport  charges  and  care  and  maintenance  costs  are 
significant while the aircraft are not working. 

Our  aim  is  to  have  this  operation  profitable  and  self-
funding  by  maximising  aircraft  deployment  and  asset 
utilisation.  Every  additional  aircraft  deployed  enhances 
rental and leasing revenue and is also an additional parts 
sale opportunity for IAP. 

Emerald has a number of aircraft assets not deployed at 
present.  These  comprise  one  small  door  ATP  freighter, 
one  ATP  passenger  and  two  HS748  aircraft  in  the  UK 
under  care  and  maintenance  programs,  an  ATP  and  a 
HS748 mothballed in the UK.

All  these  aircraft  are  available  for  sale  but  the  sale 
opportunities are limited by the lack of finance for start-
ups and the current economic conditions. 

The  Group  is  working  its  way  toward  obtaining  an 
Australian  AOC.  However,  progress  on  the  AOC  is 
hampered  by  operational  working  capital  funding 
requirements.  The  AOC  will  enable  the  HS748  aircraft 
to be offered crewed and maintained which significantly 
expands the lease potential for the aircraft. 

Corporate	Overheads	

The  Group’s  corporate  overheads  were  $1.433  million 
which  is  $0.125  million  below  budget  and  $0.089 
million  up  on  the  2010  amount  of  $1.344  million. 
Employment  costs  represent  70%  of  overheads  with 
2011  expenditure  of  $1.005  million  compared  to 
$0.932 million for 2010, an increase of $0.073 mill. 

Bad	and	Doubtful	Debts

The  Group  has  had  a  very  good  year  with  respect  to 
the level of bad debts needing to be written off. This is 
indicated in the accounts with an addition to profits of 
$0.120 million due to a reduction in bad debts provision 
compared with a charge against profits in the 2010 year 
of $0.395 million. Total bad debts provision balance as 
a percentage of sales is 1.18% for 2011 compared to 
3.0% for 2010.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

5.	 Debt	and	Equity	Finance

6.	

Balance	Sheet	and	Net	Assets

The  net  asset  position  has  increased  from  $42.543 
million to $43.200 million as at 30 June 2011 reflecting 
the after tax profit for the year. It should be noted that 
retained earnings in 2009 were increased by $1 million as 
a result of the restatement of tax asset values due to the 
Group entering into tax consolidation. This adjustment is 
detailed in the Note 36 of the Financial Statements;

Included in net assets are:

■■

■■

■■

Emerald assets: These are predominantly aircraft 
assets  of  $15.4  million  (2010:  $16.0  million) 
and extended credit receivables of $10.1 million 
(2010:  $13.0  million),  being  hire  purchase 
arrangements for aircraft. 
IAP Assets: Land and Buildings $6.9 million (2010: 
$7.0  million),  Aircraft  fixed  assets  $7.3  million 
(2010:  $7.7  million),  other  fixed  assets  $0.4 
million  (2010:  $0.5  million),  Aircraft  inventory 
$2.5 million (2010: Nil) and spare parts inventory 
of $11.2 million (2010: $10.7 million) 
PTB Assets: Comprise plant & equipment, engines 
and spare parts inventory of $11.1 million (2010: 
$13.4 million).

7.	

Cashflows

The Group’s strong performance for 2011 is reflected in 
the excellent cashflow result. Operating cashflow is $2.1 
million (2010: $4.1 million) which is $2.0 million lower 
than  the  prior  year,  however  included  in  the  outflows 
of  operating  cash  was  a  net  reduction  in  creditors  & 
accruals of $3.5 million and increase in inventory of $3.7 
million,  mainly  relating  to  the  acquisition  of  the  F100s 
and MD 82 aircraft which will be realised as sales in the 
2012 financial year. 

Cashflow from investing was positive $1.6 million (2010: 
negative  $0.7  million)  due  to  lower  capital  expenditure 
$0.4 million (2010: $1.2 million) being more than offset 
by proceeds from asset sales of $2.0 million (2010: $0.5 
million) of which $1.7 million was the insurance recovery 
from the Cessna Citation aircraft loss.

The  Group  reduced  debt  by  $4.5  million  (2010:  
$2.8 million).

PTB Emerald Finance Facility

completed 

the  Group 

January  2010 

In 
the 
Commonwealth Bank sourced refinancing which enabled 
the payout of the Emerald Financier and the ANZ bank. 
The Emerald Financier accepted a total payment of $10.4 
million in cash, together with the issue of approximately 
4.6 million shares, in full settlement of the outstanding 
loan balance of approximately $15 million. 

As a result of the refinancing and the loan repayments 
from  working  capital,  the  outstanding  debt  relating  to 
the  Emerald  facility  has  reduced  from  $14.921  million 
as  at  30  June  2009,  to  $5.685  million  as  at  30  June 
2011. This is a significant achievement and one of our 
core strategic initiatives. However the drain on working 
capital has meant that some trading opportunities were 
foregone and key initiatives such as the Test Cell were 
delayed. 

Unsecured Note facility Refinance

On  31  December  2010  the  Group  repaid  in  full  the 
$4.589  million  Unsecured  Notes  facility.  This  was 
primarily funded by a new $4 million facility provided by 
the CBA Bank.

CBA Facility Review

The Group has met all its loan repayment commitments 
and loan covenants. On the release of the Annual Report 
it  will  be  seeking  CBA’s  approval  to,  inter-alia,  reduce 
the  rate  of  capital  reduction  on  the  Emerald  facility.  In 
addition, the Group is currently discussing with the CBA 
the refinancing of some CBFC aircraft chattel mortgages 
and  a  new  facility  to  replace  existing  aircraft  finance 
from third party financiers.

Equity

The  Group  continues  to  review  the  possibility  of  a 
placement  to  several  sophisticated  investors.  If  the 
Group  in  the  future  proceeds  with  a  placement,  an 
issue on the same terms would be made available to all 
shareholders via a Share Placement Plan. Capital raised 
would be used to pay down debt and  provide working 
capital for the core business.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

There  are  a  number  of  potential  growth  opportunities 
for the future but with our loan repayments and working 
capital requirements we have to concentrate on working 
our  assets.  This  will  improve  future  profitability  which 
will  lead  to  a  rerating  and  provide  a  platform  to  move 
into further profit opportunities. 

PTB	Group	Limited	

8.	 Management

The  Group  has  a  small  team  with  the  financial  skills  to 
meet  its  management  and  reporting  requirements  and 
obligations.  The  Company  is  upgrading  its  accounting 
and  reporting  systems  to  meet  the  complexities  of  a 
multicurrency, multi-country business. 

In the operations area, the Group continues to develop 
its people and processes to handle future growth. 

Our continual objective is to have good support, financial 
and other management staff freeing up frontline staff to 
spend a greater proportion of their time creating sales 
and new business.

9.	

PTB	Group’s	Outlook

Harvey	Parker
Chairman 

Craig	Baker
Managing Director 

Management of IAP and PTB continues to concentrate 
on the core businesses and building a strong foundation 
for future improved performance and profitability.

The Board and management have experienced a number 
of  economic  cycles  and  downturns  in  the  aviation 
industry.  While  economic  indicators  continue  to  be 
mixed, the Board is confident the Group has weathered 
the challenges from the cash constraints of the GFC, the 
strengthening AUD against the USD, the disintegration 
of  the  European  lease  market  in  our  space  and  the 
parking of aircraft by IAP’s traditional customers.

The  fluctuating  currency  over  which  we  have  little 
control  can  mask  the  operational  performance  of  the 
business.  It  is  important  we  remain  focused  on  the 
operational performance of the business. 

For the next 12 months we will be concentrating on:

■■

■■

■■

trading  and  business 

Executing  our  core 
capabilities to capitalise on all opportunities;
■■ Deploying  our  underutilised  aircraft  back  out 
on  lease  and  generating  income,  or  selling  to 
generate cash;
Turning inventory into cash;
Renegotiating new engine care and maintenance 
contracts  and  continuing  to  build  on  this 
competitive advantage;
Using  cash  flows  to  pay  down  debt  and  limiting 
the effect on working capital, while continuing to 
seek less expensive alternate funding for facilities 
requiring renewal; 
Completing  strategic  initiatives  such  as  setting 
up the ability to repair PT6A engines; and
Realisation  of  profit  and  cashflows  from  special 
projects such as the F100 sale and part out and 
MD82 deal.

in this report. 

Review	of	Operations

Background

PTB  Group  Limited  (“PTB”)  was  established  in  2001, 
when it was incorporated to acquire the Brisbane assets 
of Pacific Turbine Pty Ltd ACN: 079 166 653. It focused 
on providing services in relation to the Pratt & Whitney 
PT6A and Honeywell TPE331 light turbine engines. 

Its business operations are highly complementary to PTB 
Group’s business. Steve Ferris, the founder of IAP Group, 
took approximately 80 per cent of the consideration as 
PTB Group shares and now holds approximately 22 per 
cent of the expanded Group. 

In  October  2006  the  Company  announced  it  had 
acquired  the  aircraft  and  associated  parts  of  the  UK 
companies  Emerald  Airways  Ltd  and  Emerald  Airways 
Engineering Ltd for approximately $16.25 million. 

The  assets  acquired  comprised  five  British  Aerospace 
ATPs,  14  HS  748s,  10  Shorts  360s  and  their  related 
spare parts along with a lease of an engineering facility 
at  the  Blackpool  airport.  The  ATP  and  HS  748  aircraft 
are  assets  in  which  IAP  Group  has  a  long-term  history 
of  trading  and  managing.  During  that  year  the  Shorts 
aircraft and related parts were sold.

In December 2006 the Company moved from the NSX 
to the ASX. In conjunction with this move the Company 
issued 2.5 million shares at $2 each to raise $5 million. 
This followed capital raisings totalling $7.9 million earlier 
in the period to fund part of the IAP Group and Emerald 
assets acquisitions. 

In June 2007 a USD 40 million financing and rental fund 
was created with debt provided by an Australian financial 
institution. The purpose of the fund was to acquire and 
refurbish a diverse array of aviation assets for resale or 
lease.  By  this  time,  PTB  Emerald  had  also  refurbished 
and  delivered  one  of  the  ATP  and  three  of  the  HS748 
freighters to European customers.

A brief summary of the years ended June 2008 to June 
2010  as  the  Company  dealt  with  the  global  financial 
crisis and its aftermath is set out below:

The Company performed:

FY	2008:

limited  sale  and 

The  effect  of  the  financial  crisis  continued  to 
impact on global passenger and freight activity, 
creating  a  fall  in  aircraft  values,  the  inability  to 
source  financing,  and  significant  oversupply 
leasing 
of  aircraft  which 
opportunities.
The  sale  of  the  two  LFD  ATP  aircraft  did  not 
proceed as the customer defaulted.
The Group was forced to renegotiate the $14.7 
million Emerald loan to an amortising facility over 
four years at a more expensive interest rate.
The facility was moved to AUD at request of the 
Financier causing a $2.4 million currency loss.
The USD $40 million facility was let to lapse -the 
Group  was  unable  to  secure  profitable  projects 
within its risk profile
As  part  of  the  strategic  consolidation  of  its 
operations, the Company settled on the Belmont 
Land resulting in a profit of $1.9m (booked in the 
2008  year);  subsidiary  Aeropelican  Air  Services 
an RPT operator based at Newcastle Airport was 
sold;  the  $4.5  million  Unsecured  Note  facility 
was  rolled  over;  and,  a  purpose  built  workshop 
and  office  complex  in  Brisbane  was  completed; 
and  the  existing  ANZ  financing  facilities  were 
extended.
Core  operating  business  in  Pacific  Turbine  and 
IAP  exceeded  prior  year  and  current  forecasts 
in a difficult year, and a major Australian freight 
operator was signed up to an engine management 
contract.
Prior  to  the  2009  year  end,  the  two  LFD 
ATP  aircraft  were  also  sold  to  an  Indonesian 
freight  operator  on  an  extended  credit  type  of 
arrangement.

■■ Decision  made  to  reduce  the  scope  of  the  UK 

refurbishment facility.

FY	2010:

■■

Emerald  financier  debt  refinanced  by  CBA  Bank 
leading to a profit on settlement of approximately 
$3.6 million.

■■ MD 90 project in Indonesia (purchase of aircraft 
for  part-out  and  sale)  was  settled,  financed  on 
a  profit  share  basis  by  an  international  aviation 
group.

■■ One  of  Metro  aircraft  leased  into  South  Korea; 
fourth  J32  aircraft  deployed  with  NSW  RPT 
operator.
PTB engine maintenance contracts expanded.
■■
■■ Continued strengthening of Australian dollar.

Initiatives	in	the	Current	Period

The 2011 financial year has seen some ongoing challenges 
and a number of significant achievements. These events 

have  been  detailed  in  the  Chairman  and  Managing 
Director’s Review included in this annual report. 

Operating	Results

The  consolidated  profit  for  the  financial  year  after 
providing  for  income  tax  was  $0.657  million  (2010: 
$1.647 million). Operating profit before tax for the year 
was $1.035 million (2010: $2.237million). 

Operating profit before tax has been depressed by the 
recognition  of  $2.274  million  of  unrealised  foreign 
exchange loss (non-cash) on the Group’s long term HP 
debtors. This unrealised foreign exchange loss is $1.334 
million higher than the loss recognised in 2010 ($0.940 
million) as a consequence of the stronger AUD. From an 
operational  performance  perspective  the  2011  result 
is  a  significant  improvement  on  the  prior  year’s  result, 
which included $3.633 million in debt forgiveness.

Financial	Position

The  net  assets  of  the  Group  have 
increased  by 
$0.657million (4.2%) to $43.200 million as at 30 June 
2011 (2010: $42.543 million). 

Dividends

No dividend has been declared and paid for the 30 June 
2011 financial year (2010: Nil). 

Franking	Credits

Franking credits available for subsequent financial years 
based on a tax rate of 30% are $11.911million (2010: 
$11.911 million).

Significant	Changes	in	State	of	Affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs 
of the Group not otherwise disclosed in this report.

After	Balance	Date	Events	

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end 
of the financial year which have significantly affected or 
may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the 
results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the 
Group in future.

Future	Developments,	Prospects	and	
Business	Strategies

The  global  aviation  industry  is  currently  experiencing 
difficult  trading  conditions  with  lower  passenger  and 
freight  demand,  and  a  shortage  of  available  funding. 
However  suppliers  to  the  industry  such  as  the  PTB 
Group  have  benefited  historically  in  these  times,  and 
the Group has the ability to acquire assets to part-out

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

or trade as operators and financiers exit surplus assets.  
As  such  the  prospects  for  the  continuing  performance 
and growth of the Group remain sound. 

The Group is maintaining a very strong focus on its core 
competencies  and  has  identified  a  number  of  further 
initiatives that are expected to enhance its prospects.

The  Group  now  has  three  broad  business  groupings 
under its aviation asset management operations:

Pacific Turbine Brisbane:

■■

Rebuilding  PT6A  and  TPE331  engines  at  PTB’s 
engine repair and overhaul facilities in Brisbane;
■■ Managing the rebuilding of engines at third party 

■■

■■

overhaul shops;
Trading in spare parts for engines; and
Trading  in  parts  (other  than  engines)  for  PTB 
clients.

IAP Group:

included 

Additional  commentary  has  been 
in  the 
Chairman and Managing Director’s Review in this annual 
report.  The  Directors  have  excluded  from  this  report 
any  further  information  on  the  likely  developments  in 
the  operations  of  the  Group  and  the  expected  results 
of  those  operations  in  future  financial  years,  as  the 
Directors  have  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  it 
would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the 
Group.

Environmental	Issues

The  Group  operates  from  Brisbane,  Sydney,  and 
Bankstown  Airport  in  Australia.  It  is  required  to  meet 
Brisbane  Airport  Corporation  environment  regulations, 
the Commonwealth’s Airports (Environment Protection) 
Regulations  1997.  The  Group  also  has  administration 
and  warehouse  facilities  in  a  number  of  locations 
subject to relevant legislation. There have been no non-
compliances to date while the Group has operated from 
these various locations. 

■■

■■

Spare  Parts  Supply:  Acquisition  of  redundant 
spares  from  airlines  which  have  changed  their 
aircraft  types  and  then  remarketing  to  other 
operators of that type.
Acquisition  and  Sale  of  aircraft/parting-out 
aircraft: As an integral activity to spares support, 
IAP  Group  has  bought  and  sold  many  aircraft. 
The aircraft traded in this way range in size from 
an  Islander  to  a  Boeing  737  and  Airbus  A300. 
Its  engineering  operation  at  Bankstown  airport 
has  significant  capability  to  perform  aircraft 
refurbishment.  IAP  Group  also  acquires  aircraft 
and  parts  them  out.  For  example,  aircraft  could 
be  acquired  outside  of  Australia  and  be  parted-
out  on  site.  Some  parts  such  as  engines  could 
then  be  immediately  sold  to  recoup  the  initial 
purchase cost, with the balance containerised as 
parts and shipped to the Sydney warehouse for 
marketing and subsequent sale.

Aircraft Engine and Airframe Rental and Financing:

The  Group  receives  recurring  earnings  from  rental  and 
financing  although  the  more  difficult  debt  market  has 
significantly curtailed this part of the business. Finance 
leases  tend  to  generate  lower  returns  with  operating 
leases being more profitable. Activities include:

■■

■■

Short  or  medium  term  rental  or  financing  of 
engines 
including:  Pratt  &  Whitney  PT6A; 
Honeywell  TPE331;  Rolls  Royce  Dart  prop  jet; 
Rolls  Royce  Tay  turbo  fan  and  Rolls  Royce  Spey 
turbo fan; and
Airframe  financing  (including  purchase  and  sale) 
for  aircraft  including:  Metro  23;  J32  Jetstream; 
Hawker Siddley 748; BAE ATP; F27.

A.	

	Principles	used	to	determine	the	nature	
and	amount	of	remuneration	

Non-executive Directors

Non-executive Directors are to be paid out of Company 
funds  as  remuneration  for  their  services,  such  sum  as 
accrues on a daily basis as the Company determines to 
be divided among them as agreed, or failing agreement, 
equally.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  which  has 
been  approved  by  shareholders  for  payment  to  non-
executive Directors is $100,000 per annum.

Directors’  remuneration  for  their  services  as  Directors 
is by a fixed sum and not a commission or a percentage 
of profits or operating revenue. It may not be increased 
except at a general meeting in which particulars of the 
proposed  increase  have  been  provided  in  the  notice 
convening  the  meeting  to  shareholders.  There 
is 
provision for Directors who devote special attention to 
the business of the Company or who perform services 
which are regarded as being outside the scope of their 
ordinary  duties  as  Directors,  or  who  at  the  request  of 
the Board engage in any journey on Company business, 
to  be  paid  extra  remuneration  determined  by  the 
Board.  Directors  are  also  entitled  to  their  reasonable 
travel,  accommodation  and  other  expenses  incurred  in 
attending Company or Board meetings, or meetings of 
any committee engaged in the Company’s business. Any 
Director may be paid a retirement benefit as determined 
by  the  Board,  consistent  with  the  Corporations  Act 
2001 and the ASX Listing Rules.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

A.	

	Principles	used	to	determine	the	nature	
and	amount	of	remuneration	(continued)

Benefits: Executive Directors receive benefits including 
car allowances.

Executive and Key Management Pay

The remuneration committee is responsible for advising 
the  Board  on  remuneration  and  issues  relevant  to 
remuneration  policies  and  practices  including  those 
of  senior  management  and  executive  Directors.  The 
committee has responsibility for reviewing and evaluating 
market practices and trends in relation to remuneration, 
remuneration  policies,  overseeing 
recommending 
the  performance  and  making  recommendations  on 
remuneration  of  members  of  senior  management  and 
executive Directors.

Remuneration  in  each  case  is  taken  as  including  not 
only  monetary  payments  (salaries),  but  all  other  non-
monetary emoluments and benefits, retirement benefits, 
superannuation and incentive programs.

In  each  case  the  committee  refers  to  the  general 
market and industry practice (as far as directly relevant 
benchmarks can be identified for comparative purposes) 
and the need to attract and retain high calibre personnel. 

Compensation 
in  the  form  of  cash  bonuses  for 
executives and key management personnel is designed 
to  ensure  reward  for  performance  is  competitive  and 
appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework 
aligns  executive  and  key  management  reward  with 
achievement  of  strategic  objectives  and  creation  of 
value for shareholders in terms of return on equity, and 
conforms  with  market  practice  for  delivery  of  reward. 
The Board ensures that executive and key management 
reward  satisfies  the  following  key  criteria  for  good 
reward governance practices:

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

Competitiveness and reasonableness;
Acceptability to shareholders;
Performance alignment of compensation;
Transparency; and
Capital management.

Executive Directors

The Executive Directors’ pay and reward framework has 
the following components:

■■

■■

Base pay and benefits, including superannuation; 
and
Short-term performance incentives.

Base pay: Structured as a total employment cost package 
which  may  be  delivered  as  a  combination  of  cash  and 
prescribed  non-financial  benefits  at  the  Executive 
Director’s discretion. Base pay is reviewed annually and 
benchmarked against inflation. 

Superannuation:  Executive  Directors’  base  pay 
includes  statutory  and  salary  sacrificed  superannuation 
contributions.

Short-term  performance 
incentives:  Cash  bonus 
incentives  are  based  on  pre-determined  after  tax 
return  on  equity  and  operational  targets  based  on  the 
criteria  detailed  above,  as  set  by  the  remuneration 
committee.  The  bonuses  are  paid  in  October  each 
year.  The  pre-determined  targets  ensure  that  variable 
reward is only available when value has been created for 
shareholders, and when profit and operational objectives 
are  consistent  with  the  business  plan.  Each  Executive 
Director has a target short-term incentive opportunity 
depending on the accountabilities of the role and impact 
on  the  organisation  or  business  unit  performance.  The 
maximum target bonus opportunity is 33% of base pay.

Other Executives and key management personnel

Other Executives and key management personnel’s pay 
and  reward  framework  includes  base  pay  and  short-
term incentives. There are no fixed performance criteria 
for the cash bonuses. After the end of the financial year 
the remuneration committee assesses the performance 
of 
individuals  and,  where  appropriate,  approves 
discretionary cash bonuses to be paid to the individuals. 
Cash bonuses are paid in cash following approval by the 
remuneration committee.

Long-term incentives to Executives and 
Employees

In  order  to  provide  a  long-term  incentive  to  the 
executives and employees of the Company, an Employee 
Share  Option  Scheme  (“the  Scheme”)  is  in  place.  The 
incentive  provided  by  the  scheme  will  be  of  material 
benefit to the Company in encouraging the commitment 
and continuity of service of the recipients. By providing 
executives  and  employees  with  a  personal  financial 
interest  in  the  Company,  the  Company  will  be  able  to 
attract  and  retain  Executive  Directors,  key  Executives 
and  employees  in  a  highly  competitive  market.  This  is 
expected  to  result  in  future  benefits  accruing  to  the 
shareholders of the Company.

The  establishment  of  the  Scheme  was  approved  by 
shareholders  on  3  June  2005.  All  staff  are  eligible  to 
participate in the scheme, including Executive Directors 
(since  they  take  part  in  the  management  of  the 
Company).

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

A.	

	Principles	used	to	determine	the	nature	
and	amount	of	remuneration	(continued)

The options issued to key management personnel were 
issued  pursuant  to  the  Scheme  whereby  options  were 
issued to all employees (excluding Executive Directors’) 
on  the  same  basis  and  the  entitlements  are  not  linked 
to  performance.  The  number  of  options  issued  to 
employees  was  determined  by  the  remuneration 
committee  and  approved  by  the  Board  in  accordance 
with the terms of the Scheme.

Options  are  granted  under  the  Scheme  for  no 
consideration. The exercise price is the amount specified 
by  the  remuneration  committee  at  the  time  of  issue. 
The  exercise  period  is  the  period  specified  by  the 
remuneration  committee  at  the  time  of  issue.  Options 
under the plan may not exceed 5% of the total number 
of issued shares of the Company at the date of issue.

Options  lapse  if  prior  to  or  during  the  exercise  period 
the  employee  is  terminated  or  resigns.  If  a  person 

dies,  becomes  disabled,  or  is  made  redundant  prior  to 
the  exercise  period  the  option  lapses.  If  a  person  dies, 
becomes  disabled,  or  is  made  redundant  during  the 
exercise period special rules apply that allow options to 
be exercised.

Options  granted  under  the  Scheme  carry  no  dividend 
or  voting  rights.  When  exercisable,  each  option  is 
convertible  into  one  ordinary  share  in  PTB  Group 
Limited. Amounts receivable on the exercise of options 
are recognised as share capital. The above remuneration 
policy together with the options package is to encourage 
the alignment of personal and shareholder interests.

In the 2006 and 2007 financial years, options were granted to certain staff under the PTB Group Limited Employee 
Share Option Scheme. Refer Section A above for details of the Scheme. The options are not dependent upon the 
satisfaction of a performance condition as they depend upon service vesting conditions (the options vest one third 
each year).

The terms and conditions of each grant of options affecting key management personnel remuneration in the previous, 
current or future reporting periods are as follows:

Grant	Date

Expiry	Date

Exercise	
price

Value	per	
option	at		
grant	date

$0.54

33% after 31 May 2008, 33% after 31 May 
2009, and 33% after 31 May 2010.

Details of options over ordinary shares in the Company provided to each Director of PTB Group Limited and each 
of  the  key  management  personnel  of  the  Group  in  the  2011  and  2010  financial  years  are  set  out  below.  When

The  amounts  disclosed  for  remuneration  relating  to  options  above  are  the  assessed  fair  values  at  grant  date  of 
options  granted,  allocated  equally  over  the  period  from  grant  date  to  vesting  date.  Fair  values  at  grant  date  are 
determined using a Binomial option pricing model which takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, 
the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the 
risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. Refer note 24 of the financial report for the inputs into the model.

No other remuneration options granted to key management personnel were exercised or lapsed during this or the 
prior financial year.

Non-Audit	Services

The  Company  may  decide  to  employ  the  auditor  on 
assignments additional to statutory audit duties where 
the auditor’s expertise and experience with the Company 
are important.

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, 
in  accordance  with  the  advice  received  from  the  audit 
committee,  is  satisfied  that  the  provision  of  non-audit 
services during the year is compatible with the general 
standard of independence for auditors imposed by the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are satisfied the 
provision of non-audit services by the auditor, as set out 
below,  did  not  compromise  the  auditor  independence 
requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  the 
following reasons:

■■

■■

all non-audit services have been reviewed by the 
audit  committee  to  ensure  they  do  not  impact 
the  impartiality  and  objectivity  of  the  auditor; 
and
none  of  the  services  undermine  the  general 
principles relating to auditor independence as set 
out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants, including reviewing or auditing the 
auditor’s  own  work,  acting  in  a  management  or 
a  decision-making  capacity  for  the  company, 
acting  as  advocate  for  the  company  or  jointly 
sharing economic risk and rewards.

During the year Crowe Horwath, the Company’s auditor, 
has  performed  other  services  in  addition  to  their 
statutory audit duties as set out in note 25. During the 
year  the  following  non-audit  service  fees  were  paid 
or  payable  for  services  provided  by  the  auditor  of  the 
company:

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2011

Scope	of	responsibility	of	the	Board

Composition	of	the	Board

Responsibility  for  the  Company’s  proper  corporate 
governance  rests  with  the  Board.  The  Board’s  guiding 
principle in meeting this responsibility is to act honestly, 
conscientiously and fairly, in accordance with the law, in 
the interests of PTB Group’s shareholders (with a view 
to  building  sustainable  value  for  them)  and  those  of 
employees and other stakeholders.

The Board’s broad function is to:

a)  Chart  strategy  and  set  financial  targets  for  the 

Company;
b)  Monitor  the 

implementation  and  execution 
of  strategy  and  performance  against  financial 
targets; and

c)  Appoint  and  oversee  the  performance  of 
executive management and generally to take and 
fulfil an effective leadership role in relation to the 
Company.

Power  and  authority  in  certain  areas  is  specifically 
reserved to the Board – consistent with its function as 
outlined above. These areas include:

a)  Composition  of  the  Board  itself  including  the 

appointment and removal of Directors;

b)  Oversight  of 

its 
the  Company 
strategy,  operational  performance,  controls  and 
accountability systems;

including 

c)  Appointment  and  removal  of  senior  executives

d)  Reviewing, ratifying, and monitoring systems of 
risk  management  and  internal  compliance  and 
control,  codes  of  ethics  and  conduct,  and  legal 
and statutory compliance;

and implementation of strategy;

f)  Approving and monitoring the progress of major 
capital  expenditure,  capital  management,  and 
acquisitions and divestures; and

The Managing Director and other senior executives are 
responsible for:

a)  Developing  corporate  strategy,  performance 
targets,  budgets,  and  business  and  operational 
plans for review and ratification by the Board;

b)  Developing, 

implementing,  and  maintaining 
appropriate  policies,  procedures,  and  practices 
for the management and control of the business; 
and

c)  Execution  of  the  overall  corporate  strategy  and 
business plans, and the day to day management 
of operations. 

The  Board  performs  its  role  and  function,  consistent 
with  the  above  statement  of  its  overall  corporate 
governance  responsibility, 
in  accordance  with  the 
following principles:

a)  The Board should comprise at least four Directors;

operations.  In  addition,  the  Chairman  has  the  deciding 
vote at any meetings where a vote is initially tied.

Board	Charter	and	Policy

The Board has adopted a charter which will be kept under 
review  and  amended  from  time  to  time  as  the  Board 
may consider appropriate to give formal recognition to 
the  matters  outlined  above.  The  last  amendment  was 
on  22  December  2010.  This  charter  sets  out  various 
other matters that are important for effective corporate 
governance including the following:

a)  A detailed definition of ‘independence’;
b)  A framework for the identification of candidates 
for appointment to the Board and their selection;
c)  A  framework  for  individual  performance  review 

and evaluation;

on-going basis;

its committees: frequency, agenda, minutes and 
private discussion of management issues among 
non-executive Directors;

f)  Ethical  standards  and  values:  formalised  in  a 

detailed code of ethics and values;

market.

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

These  initiatives,  together  with  the  other  matters 
provided  for  in  the  Board’s  charter,  are  designed  to 
‘institutionalise’  good  corporate  governance  and 
generally,  to  build  a  culture  of  best  practice  in  PTB 
Group’s  own  internal  practices  and  in  its  dealings  with 
others.

Audit	and	Risk	Management	Committee	
(‘ARM	Committee’)

The  purpose  of  this  Committee  is  to  advise  on  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of  a  framework  of 
internal control and appropriate ethical standards for the 
management of the Company. Its current members are 
Harvey Parker and Andrew Kemp.

The Committee performs a variety of functions relevant 
to risk management and internal and external reporting 
and reports to the Board following each meeting. Among 
other  matters  for  which  the  Committee  is  responsible 
are the following:

a)  Board  and  committee  structure  to  facilitate  a 

proper review function by the Board;

b)  Internal control framework including management 

information systems;

Remuneration	Committee

The  purpose  of  this  Committee  is  to  assist  the  Board 
and report to it on remuneration and issues relevant to 
remuneration policies and practices including those for 
senior  management  and  non-executive  Directors.  Its 
current members are Harvey Parker and Andrew Kemp.

Among the functions performed by the Committee are 
the following:

a)  Review  and  evaluation  of  market  practices  and 

trends on remuneration matters;

b)  Recommendations to the Board in relation to the 
Company’s remuneration policies and procedures;
the  performance  of  senior 

c)  Oversight  of 

management and non-executive Directors; and
d)  Recommendations to the Board in relation to the 
remuneration  of  senior  management  and  non-
executive Directors.

Meetings are held at least twice each year. During the 
year the Executive Directors and CFO voluntarily waived 
annual increases and bonuses so only one meeting was 
deemed necessary.

c)  Corporate  risk  assessment  and  compliance  with 

Nominations	Committee

internal controls;
d)  Internal  audit 

function  and  management 

processes supporting external reporting;

e)  Review of financial statements and other financial 

information distributed externally;

f)  Review of the effectiveness of the audit function;
g)  Review of the performance and independence of 

the external auditors;

h)  Review  of  the  external  audit  function  to  ensure 
prompt  remedial  action  by  management,  where 
appropriate,  in  relation  to  any  deficiency  in,  or 
breakdown of, controls;

recommendations 

Best  practice 
issued  by  ASX 
recommend  a  separate  Nominations  Committee  to 
assist  the  Board  and  report  to  it  on  selection  and 
appointment  issues  and  practices  including  those  for 
senior management and non-executive Directors.

However,  given  the  size  of  the  Company  and  of  the 
Board  the  separate  Nominations  Committee  has  not 
been  continued  and  the  responsibility  for  this  function 
now rests with the Board.

i)  Assessing the adequacy of external reporting for 

Best	practice	commitment

the needs of shareholders; and

j)  Monitoring compliance with the Company’s code 

of ethics.

Meetings  are  held  at  least  twice  each  year.  A  broad 
agenda is laid down for each regular meeting according 
to an annual cycle. The Committee invites the external 
auditors to attend each of its meetings.

The  ARM  Committee  does  not  comply  with  the 
Guidelines  in  that  the  Chairman  is  also  Chairman  of 
the  Board.  However  the  Board  believes  this  matter  is 
acceptable given the size of the company, the nature of 
its business and the financial literacy of the members.

The Company is committed to achieving and maintaining 
the  highest  standards  of  conduct  and  has  undertaken 
various  initiatives,  as  outlined  in  this  section  that 
are  designed  to  achieve  this  objective.  The  PTB 
Group’s  Corporate  Governance  Charter  is  intended 
to  ‘institutionalise’  good  corporate  governance  and, 
generally, to build a culture of best practice both in the 
Company’s  own  internal  practices  and  in  its  dealings 
with others. The Charter is available on the Company’s 
website.

The  following  are  a  tangible  demonstration  of  the 
Company’s corporate governance commitment:

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

Independent professional advice

With  the  prior  approval  of  the  Chairman,  which 
may  not  be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed,  each 
Director  has  the  right  to  seek  independent  legal  and 
other professional advice concerning any aspect of the 
Company’s operations or undertakings in order to fulfil 
their duties and responsibilities as Directors. Any costs 
incurred are borne by the Company.

Code of ethics and values

The  Company  has  developed  and  adopted  a  detailed 
code  of  ethics  and  values  to  guide  Directors  in  the 
performance of their duties.

Code of conduct for transactions in securities

The Company has developed and adopted a formal code 
to regulate dealings in securities by Directors and senior 
management  and  their  associates.  This  is  designed  to 
ensure  fair  and  transparent  trading  in  accordance  with 
both the law and best practice.

Charter

The code of ethics and values and the code of conduct for 
transactions in securities (referred to above) both form 
part  of  the  Company’s  corporate  governance  charter 
which has been formally adopted, which complies with 
the  ASX  document,  ‘Corporate  Governance  Principles 
and  Recommendations  –  second  edition’  (‘Guidelines’) 
applying to listed entities as published in August 2007 
by  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council  with  the 
aim  of  enhancing  the  credibility  and  transparency  of 
Australia’s capital markets. 

The Board has assessed the Company’s current practice 
against the Guidelines and outlines its assessment below:

Principle 1 –  Lay solid foundations for 

management and oversight

Recommendation 1.1
The  role  of  the  Board  and  delegation  to  management 
have been formalised as described above in this section 
and will continue to be refined, in accordance with the 
Guidelines,  in  light  of  practical  experience  gained  in 
operating as a listed company. PTB Group complies with 
the Guidelines in this area.

Recommendation 1.2
The  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of 
senior  executives  is  outlined  in  section  A  and  B  of  the 
“Remuneration Report” included in the Directors’ Report. 
PTB Group complies with the Guidelines in this area.

Recommendation 1.3
The Corporate Governance Statement and Board Charter 
are  available  on  the  Company’s  website.  Performance 

evaluations  have  taken  place  in  accordance  with  the 
process disclosed.

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value

Recommendation 2.1
Of  the  four  Company  Directors,  Harvey  Parker  and 
Andrew  Kemp  are  non-executive  Directors.  Together 
the  Directors  have  a  broad  range  of  experience, 
expertise,  skills,  qualifications  and  contacts  relevant  to 
the business of the Company. 

The  Board  composition  does  not  comply  with 
recommendation 2.1 of the ASX Corporate Governance 
Guidelines  as  the  majority  of  Directors  are  not 
independent Directors.

The Board has adopted the following measures to ensure 
that independent judgment is achieved and maintained 
in respect of its decision-making processes:

■■ Directors  are  entitled  to  seek 

independent 
professional  advice  at  the  Company’s  expense, 
subject to the approval of the Chairman;

■■ Directors having a conflict of interest in relation 
to  a  particular  item  of  business  must  absent 
themselves  from  the  Board  meeting  before 
commencement of discussion on the topic; and
Non-executive Directors confer on a needs basis 
without management in attendance.

■■

Recommendation 2.2 and 2.3 
Harvey Parker is an independent non-executive Director 
and Chairman of the Company. PTB Group complies with 
the Guidelines in these areas.

Recommendation 2.4
As described above, given the size of the Company and 
of  the  Board,  the  separate  Nominations  Committee 
has  not  been  continued  and  the  responsibility  for  this 
function now rests with the Board.

Recommendation 2.5 and 2.6
The  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees,  and 
is  evaluated  annually  by  the 
individual  Directors 
Chairman in accordance with the Company’s Corporate 
Governance  Charter.  This  review  includes  the  mix  and 
experience  and  skills  represented,  the  effectiveness  of 
Board processes, and the performance and contribution 
of  individual  members  in  terms  of  the  execution  of 
the  required  Board  functions  as  described  above, 
for  the  relevant  year.  Members  of  the  Board  whose 
performance  is  unsatisfactory  are  asked  to  retire.  The 
Charter  is  available  on  the  Company’s  website.  PTB 
Group complies with the Guidelines in these areas.

for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

Principle 3 –  Promote ethical and responsible 

decision making

Recommendation 3.1
The Board encourages the highest standards of ethical 
conduct  by  all  Directors  and  employees  of  the  Group. 
The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics in its Corporate 
Governance  Charter  that  sets  out  the  principles  and 
standards with which all Group officers and employees 
are  expected  to  comply  in  the  performance  of  their 
respective  functions.  Officers  and  employees  are 
expected to: 

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

Comply with the law; 
Act honestly and with integrity;
Reduce  the  opportunity  for  situations  to  arise 
which  result  in  divided  loyalties  or  conflicts  of 
interest;
Use  PTB  Group’s  assets  responsibly  and  in  the 
best interests of its shareholders; and
Be responsible and accountable for their actions.

Senior  management  immediately  investigates  possible 
failures  to  comply  with  the  principles  of  ethical  and 
responsible  conduct,  employing  the  use  of  third  party 
expertise  where  necessary.  The  appropriate  level  of 
disciplinary  action  is  applied  where  departures  from 
these principles are confirmed. The Charter is available 
on the Company’s website. PTB Group complies with the 
Guidelines in these areas.

Recommendation 3.2 and 3.3
Guidelines  for  dealing  in  securities:  The  Company  has 
developed  specific  written  guidelines  in  its  “Securities 
trading  policy”  that  prohibit  Directors,  executives 
(and  their  respective  associates)  and  employees 
from  acquiring,  selling  or  otherwise  trading  in  the 
Company’s  shares 
if  they  possess  material  price-
sensitive information which is not in the public domain. 
Pursuant  to  these  guidelines,  no  person  may  deal  in 
securities while they are in possession of price-sensitive 
information. The Company’s policy is that trading in PTB 
Group’s securities is permitted, as set out below:

■■

Trading in Shares: 

■■

Employees:  are  able  to  purchase  shares 
throughout 
from  31 
the  year  except 
December  and  30  June  during  the  period 
running  up  to  ASX  announcement  of  half-
yearly and yearly profits. Staff will be notified 
of these timeframes;

■■ Directors:  must  notify  the  Secretary  of  any 
trading by that Director so as to facilitate the 
timely  lodgement  with  ASX  of  an  Appendix 
3Y or other prescribed form notifying ASX of 
the  initial  acquisition,  change  of  interests  or 
cessation of Directors’ interests as required by 
the Listing Rules;

■■

■■

Price  Sensitive  information:  Both  the  above  are 
subject to the person not being in possession of 
price  sensitive  information  and  the  buying  not 
being for short term or speculative gain; and 
the  company’s  “Securities  trading  policy”  has 
been  lodged  with  the  ASX.  PTB  Group  complies 
with the Guidelines in these areas.

Principle 4 –  Safeguard integrity in financial 

reporting

Recommendation 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4
PTB  Group’s  Managing  Director  and  Chief  Financial 
Officer  report  in  writing  to  the  ARM  Committee  that 
the consolidated financial statements of PTB Group and 
its controlled entities for each half and full financial year 
present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of 
the  Group’s  financial  condition  and  operational  results 
and  are  in  accordance  with  accounting  standards.  The 
ARM  Committee  operates  throughout  the  year  with 
the  primary  objective  to  assist  the  Board  of  Directors 
in  fulfilling  the  Board’s  responsibilities  relating  to  the 
accounting,  reporting  and  financial  risk  management 
practices of the Company. In fulfilling this objective, the 
ARM  Committee  meets  at  least  two  times  each  year. 
The  main  duties  and  responsibilities  of  the  committee 
include:

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

Review and consideration of statutory compliance 
matters;
Review  of  the  annual  and  half-yearly  financial 
reports;
Recommend  to  the  Board  nominations  for 
appointment as external auditors;
Review  the  scope  of  the  audit,  the  level  of 
audit  fees  and  the  performance  of  the  external 
auditors;
Liaison  with  external  auditors,  review  of  audit 
planning and consideration of audit results; and
Evaluation  of  the  adequacy  and  effectiveness 
of  the  Company’s  administrative,  operating  and 
accounting  policies  and  controls  through  active 
communication with operating management and 
the external auditors.

The  ARM  Committee  (with  its  own  charter)  does  not 
comply  with  the  Guidelines  in  that  the  Chairman  is 
also  Chairman  of  the  Board,  and  it  has  less  than  three 
members.  However,  the  Board  believes  these  matters 
are acceptable given the size of the Company, the nature 
of its business and the financial literacy of the members. 

The Charter is available on the Company’s website and 
the names, qualifications, and the number of meetings 
attended has been disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

Principle 6 – Respect the rights of shareholders

Recommendation 6.1 and 6.2

strives to communicate with shareholders both regularly 
and  clearly,  both  by  electronic  means  and  using  more 
traditional  communication  methods.  Announcements 
and  reporting  results  are  available  on  the  Company’s 
website.  Shareholders  are  encouraged  to  attend  and 
participate at general meetings. The Company’s auditors

risk  management  and  control 
framework.  The 
ARM  Committee  assists  the  Board  in  fulfilling  its 
responsibilities  in  this  regard  by  reviewing  the  financial 
and reporting aspects of the Group’s risk management 
and  control  framework.  The  Group  has  implemented  a 
policy framework included in the Corporate Governance 
Charter,  designed  to  ensure  that  the  Group’s  risks  are 
identified and that controls are adequate, in place, and 
functioning effectively. 

This  framework 
incorporates  the  maintenance  of 
comprehensive policies, procedures and guidelines that 
encompass  the  Group’s  activities.  It  addresses  areas 
such as,  occupational health and safety, environmental 
management, trade practices, IT disaster recovery and 
business  continuity  planning.  Responsibility  for  control 
and  risk  management  is  delegated  to  the  appropriate 
level  of  management  within  the  Group  with  the 
Managing  Director  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  having 
ultimate responsibility to the Board for the Group’s risk 
management and internal control activities. 

Arrangements put in place by the Board to monitor risk 
management include:

of  operations  and  the  financial  position  of  the 
Group;

each meeting held by the ARM Committee; 
Presentations  made  to  the  Board  throughout 
the year by appropriate members of the Group’s 
management team (and/or independent advisers, 
where necessary) on the nature of particular risks 
and  details  of  the  measures  which  are  either  in 
place  or  can  be  adopted  to  manage  or  mitigate 
the risk; and

project audits be undertaken by management.

system  of

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

Principle 8 - Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Recommendations 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3
As  detailed  above,  the  Company  has  a  Remuneration 
committee  to  assist  the  Board  and  report  to  it  on 
issues  relevant  to  remuneration 
remuneration  and 
including  those  for  senior 
policies  and  practices 
management  and  executive  Directors.  These  policies 
are  included  in  the  Company’s  Corporate  Governance 
Charter and its current members are Harvey Parker and 
Andrew Kemp. 

Harvey  Parker  and  Andrew  Kemp  are  independent 
Directors  and  its  composition  does  not  fully  comply 
with the recommendations in 8.1 of the ASX Corporate 
Governance Guidelines as the Chairman is also Chairman 
of  the  Board,  and  it  has  less  than  three  members. 
However,  the  Board  believes  these  matters  are 
acceptable  given  the  size  of  the  Company,  the  nature 
of  its  business  and  the  commercial  experience  of  the 
members. 

The Company’s polices relating to Directors’ and Senior 
Executives’  remuneration  are  set  out  in  the  annual 
report.  Options  were  granted  to  employees  under  an 
Employee Share Option Scheme. Options have also been 
issued to executive Directors of the Company and to a 
corporate adviser. 

It  is  the  Company’s  objective  to  provide  maximum 
stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality 
Board and executive team by remunerating Directors and 
key  executives  fairly  and  appropriately  with  reference 
to  relevant  employment  market  conditions.  To  assist 
in  achieving  this  objective,  the  nature  and  amount  of 
some components of executive Directors’ and officers’ 
emoluments  are  linked  to  the  Company’s  financial  and 
operational  performance.  The  expected  outcomes  of 
the remuneration structure are: 

■■

■■

■■

Retention and motivation of key executives; 
Attraction  of  quality  management  to  the 
Company; and 
Performance  incentives  which  allow  executives 
to share the rewards of the success of the Group. 

In relation to the payment of bonuses and options, the 
Board, having regard to the overall performance of PTB 
Group and the performance of the employee during the 
period, exercises discretion. 

The Charter is available on the Company’s website and 
the  names  and  the  number  of  meetings  attended  has 
been disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

Interpretations  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  This 
Report was authorised for issue on 31 August 2011. 

Compliance with IFRS

to 

include  Australian 
Australian  Accounting  Standards 
International  Financial  Reporting 
equivalents 
Standards  (AIFRS).  Compliance  with  AIFRS  ensures 
that the consolidated financial statements and notes of 
PTB  Group  Limited  comply  with  International  Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the 
historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation 
of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and 
liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value 
through  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  and 
certain classes of property, plant and equipment.

Critical accounting estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity 
with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting 
estimates.  It  also  requires  management  to  exercise 
its  judgement  in  the  process  of  applying  the  Group’s 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree 
of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions 
and estimates are significant to the financial statements 
are disclosed in note 1(ad).

(b)	 Principles	of	consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the 
assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  PTB  Group 
Limited  (“company”  or  “parent  entity”)  as  at  30  June 
2011 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then 
ended. PTB Group Limited and its subsidiaries together 
are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the 
consolidated entity. For details of the subsidiaries refer 
note 30.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group 
has  the  power  to  govern  the  financial  and  operating 
policies,  generally  accompanying  a  shareholding  of 
more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence 
and  effect  of  potential  voting  rights  that  are  currently 
exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing 
whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on 
which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account 
for business combinations by the Group (refer note 1(i)).

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised 
gains  on  transactions  between  Group  companies  are 
eliminated.  Unrealised  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless 
the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of 
the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries 
have  been  changed  where  necessary  to  ensure 
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(c)	 Segment	reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent 
with  the  internal  reporting  provided  to  the  chief 
operating  decision  maker.  The  chief  operating  decision 
maker,  who  is  responsible  for  allocating  resources  and 
assessing performance of the operating segments, has 
been identified as the Executive Directors. 

(d)	 Foreign	currency	translation

(i) 

Functional and presentation currency

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of 
the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which the entity 
operates  (‘the  functional  currency’).  The  consolidated 
financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, 
which is PTB Group Limited’s functional and presentation 
currency.

(ii) 

Transactions and balances

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the 
functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing 
at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Foreign  exchange 
gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of 
such  transactions  and  from  the  translation  at  year-
end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  recognised  in 
the statement of comprehensive income, except when 
deferred  in  equity  as  qualifying  cash  flow  hedges  and 
qualifying net investment hedges, or are attributable to 
part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(d)	

	Foreign	currency	translation	
(continued)

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in 
a  foreign  currency  are  translated  using  the  exchange 
rates  at  the  date  when  the  fair  value  was  determined. 
Translation  differences  on  assets  and  liabilities  carried 
at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain 
or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary assets 
and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through 
the statement of comprehensive income are recognised 
in  the  statement  as  part  of  the  fair  value  gain  or  loss. 
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets 
such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial 
assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities 
(none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary 
economy)  that  have  a  functional  currency  different 
from  the  presentation  currency  are  translated  into  the 
presentation currency as follows:

■■

■■

■■

Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  balance  sheet 
presented are translated at the closing rate at the 
date of that balance sheet;
Income and expenses for each income statement 
are translated at average exchange rates (unless 
this  is  not  a  reasonable  approximation  of  the 
cumulative  effect  of  the  rates  prevailing  on 
the  transaction  dates,  in  which  case  income 
and expenses are translated at the dates of the 
transactions); and
All resulting exchange differences are recognised 
in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the 
translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and 
of borrowings and other financial instruments designated 
as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other 
income.  When  a  foreign  operation 
comprehensive 
is  sold  or  any  borrowings  forming  part  of  the  net 
investment  are  repaid,  a  proportionate  share  of  such 
exchange differences are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income statement, as part of the gain or 
loss on sale where applicable. 

(e)	 Revenue	recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration 
received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net of returns, trade allowances, rebates, and amounts 
collected on behalf of third parties. 

The  Group  recognises  revenue  when  the  amount  of 
revenue  can  be  reliably  measured,  it  is  probable  that 
future  economic  benefits  will  flow  to  the  entity  and 
specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s 
activities  as  described  below.  The  Group  bases  its 
estimates on historical results, taking into consideration 
the  type  of  customer,  the  type  of  transaction  and  the 
specifics of each arrangement. The amount of revenue 
is  not  considered  to  be  reliably  measurable  until  all 
contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. 

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities 
as follows:

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

Revenue  from  the  sale  of  goods  is  recognised 
when  the  significant  risks  and  rewards  of 
ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer 
and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards 
are  considered  passed  to  the  buyer  at  time  of 
delivery to customers;
Revenue  from  repairs  is  recognised  at  the  time 
the service is performed;
Revenue  from  sale  of  goods  and  provision 
is 
of  services  under  maintenance  contracts 
recognised  in  accordance  with  the  stage  of 
completion  method  unless  the  outcome  of  the 
contract  cannot  be  reliably  estimated.  When 
the  outcome  of  the  contract  cannot  be  reliably 
estimated,  contract  costs  are  recognised  as  an 
expense as incurred, and where it is probable that 
costs will be recovered, revenue is recognised to 
the extent of costs incurred;
Interest  on  extended  credit  receivables  (under 
hire  purchase  agreements) 
recognised 
progressively by the Group over the hire purchase 
term to achieve a constant periodic rate of return 
on the carrying amount of the receivable (being 
the Group’s net investment in the hire purchase 
arrangement);
recognised  on  a  basis 
Rental 
representative  of  the  time  pattern  in  which  the 
benefit of use derived from the asset is diminished. 
For engines rental, income is recognised based on 
an  hourly  rate  and  hours  of  usage.  For  aircraft 
rental,  income  is  recognised  on  a  straight-line 
basis over the lease term; and
Airline revenue that mainly arises from passenger 
ticket sales is recognised when uplift is performed.

income 

is 

is 

(f)	 Unearned	revenue

Unearned revenue includes amounts received in advance 
from customers. Such amounts are recorded as revenue 
in  the  income  statement  when  the  above  revenue 
recognition criteria are met.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

1.	

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(g)	

Income	tax

The income tax expense or revenue 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 and to unused tax 
losses.

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for 
temporary  differences  at  the  tax  rates  expected  to 
apply  when  the  assets  are  recovered  or  liabilities  are 
settled,  based  on  those  tax  rates  which  are  enacted 
or  substantively  enacted  for  each  jurisdiction.  The 
relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts 
of  deductible  and  taxable  temporary  differences  to 
measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception 
is  made  for  certain  temporary  differences  arising  from 
the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred 
tax  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  relation  to  these 
temporary  differences  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 or loss.

legislation  effective  1  July  2008.  The  head  entity,  PTB 
Group  Limited,  and  the  controlled  entities  in  the  tax 
consolidated  group  account  for  their  own  current  and 
deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured 
as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues 
to be a stand alone taxpayer in its own right.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
PTB  Group  Limited  also  recognises  the  current  tax 
liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising 
from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed 
from  controlled  entities  in  the  tax  consolidated  group. 
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements 
with  the  tax  consolidated  entities  are  recognised  as 
amounts  receivable  from,  or  payable  to,  other  entities 
in the Group.

Any  difference  between  the  amounts  assumed  and 
amounts  receivable  or  payable  under  the  tax  funding 
agreement  are  recognised  as  a  contribution  to  (or 
distribution  from)  wholly-owned  tax  consolidated 
entities. PTB Group limited may also require payment of 
interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to 
pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised 
as current intercompany receivables or payables. 

(h)	 Leased	assets

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible 
temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to 
utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Leases  are  classified  as  finance  leases  whenever  the 
terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are 
classified as operating leases.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for 
temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the 
parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary differences and it is probable that the 
differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there 
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate 
to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and 
tax  liabilities  are  offset  where  the  entity  has  a  legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle 
on  a  net  basis,  or  to  realise  the  asset  and  settle  the 
liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, 
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this 
case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity respectively. 

Tax consolidation legislation

PTB  Group  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian 
controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation

For  operating  leases,  the  leased  asset  (rental  engines 
and  aircraft)  is  classified  as  a  non-current  asset  and 
depreciated in accordance with the depreciation policy 
set  out  in  note  1(q).  Rental  income  from  operating 
leases is recognised as set out in note 1(e).

As lessee

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised 
at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to present 
value of the minimum lease payments, each determined 
at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability 
to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance 
lease obligation, net of finance charges.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

1.	

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(h)	 Leased	assets	(continued)

Lease  payments  are  apportioned  between  finance 
charges  and  reduction  of  the  lease  obligation  so  as  to 
achieve  a  constant  rate  of  interest  on  the  remaining 
balance  of  the  liability.  Finance  charges  are  charged 
directly  against 
income,  unless  they  are  directly 
attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are 
capitalised in accordance with the consolidated entity’s 
general policy on borrowing costs. Refer to note 1(u).

Finance  leased  assets  are  amortised  on  a  diminishing 
value basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. 
Refer note 1(q).

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense 
on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term,  except 
where another systematic basis is more representative 
of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the 
leased asset are consumed.

(i)	 Business	combinations

issued  or 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account 
for  all  business  combinations  regardless  of  whether 
equity 
instruments  or  other  assets  are  acquired. 
The  consideration  transferred  for  the  acquisition  of 
a  subsidiary  comprises  the  fair  value  of  the  assets 
liabilities 
instruments 
transferred,  equity 
incurred  or  assumed  at  the  date  of  exchange.  The 
consideration  transferred  also  includes  the  fair  value 
of  any  contingent  consideration  arrangement  and  the 
fair  value  of  any  pre-existing  equity  interest  in  the 
subsidiary.  Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as 
incurred.  Identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  and 
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination 
are,  with  limited  exceptions,  measured  initially  at  their 
fair  values  at  the  acquisition  date.  On  an  acquisition-
by-acquisition  basis,  the  Group  recognises  any  non-
controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or 
at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of 
the acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount 
of  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree,  and 
the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  any  previous  equity 
interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s 
share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded 
as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value 
of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired 
and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, 
the difference is recognised directly in profit and loss as 
a bargain purchase. 

Where  settlement  of  any  part  of  cash  consideration 
is  deferred,  the  amounts  payable  in  the  future  are 
discounted  to  their  present  value  as  at  the  date 
of  exchange.  The  discount  rate  used  is  the  entity’s 
incremental  borrowing  rate,  being  the  rate  at  which  a 
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent 
financier under comparable terms and conditions.

(j)	

Impairment	of	assets

Goodwill  and  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite 
useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested 
annually  for  impairment  or  more  frequently  if  events 
or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  they  might 
be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment 
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate 
that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.  An 
impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which 
the  asset’s  carrying  amount  exceeds  its  recoverable 
amount.  The  recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an 
asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the 
purposes  of  assessing  impairment,  assets  are  grouped 
at  the  lowest  levels  for  which  there  are  separately 
identifiable cash inflows (cash generating units).

(k)	 Cash	and	cash	equivalents

For  the  purpose  of  presentation  in  the  statement  of 
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on 
hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions, 
other short-term, highly liquid investments with original 
maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily 
convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and 
bank  overdrafts.  Bank  overdrafts  are  shown  within 
borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(l)	

Trade	and	other	receivables

Trade  and  other  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at 
fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost 
using  the  effective  interest  method,  less  provision  for 
impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement in 
30 to 90 days.

Collectability  of  receivables  is  reviewed  on  an  ongoing 
basis.  Debts  which  are  known  to  be  uncollectible  are 
written  off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly. 
A  provision  for  impairment  is  established  when  there 
is  objective  evidence  that  the  Group  will  not  be  able 
to  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  original 
terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the 
difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the 
present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted 
at  the  original  effective  interest  rate.  The  amount  of 
the  provision  is  recognised  in  the  income  statement. 
Cashflows  relating  to  short-term  receivables  are  not 
discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

1.	

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(m)	

Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods

Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net 
realisable  value.  Costs  are  assigned  to  individual  items 
of  stock  by  specific  identification.  Net  realisable  value 
is  the  estimated  selling  price  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business less the estimated costs of completion and the 
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories  are  classified  as  non-current  assets  if  the 
asset is expected to be realised in a period greater than 
twelve months from balance date. 

(n)	 Other	financial	assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following 
categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through 
profit  or  loss,  loans  and  receivables,  held-to-maturity 
investments,  and  available-for-sale  financial  assets. 
The classification depends on the purpose for which the 
investments  were  acquired.  Management  determines 
the classification of its investments at initial recognition 
and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

The Group has no financial assets at fair value through 
profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments or available-
for-sale financial assets.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets 
with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market. They arise when the Group provides 
money,  goods  or  services  directly  to  a  debtor  with  
no intention of selling the receivable. They are included  
in  current  assets,  except  for  those  with  maturities 
greater  than  12  months  after  the  balance  sheet  date 
which  are  classified  as  non-current  assets.  Loans  and 
receivables  are  included  in  trade  and  other  receivables 
in the balance sheet.

Loans  and  receivables  are  initially  recognised  at  fair 
value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there 
is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial  asset  or  group  of 
financial assets is impaired.

Fair value estimation

The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities 
must be estimated for recognition and measurement or 
for disclosure purposes.

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  traded  in  active 
markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading 
and  available-for-sale  securities)  is  based  on  quoted 
market  prices  at  the  balance  sheet  date.  The  quoted 
market price used for financial assets held by the Group 
is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market 
price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  that  are  not 
traded in an active market is determined using valuation 
techniques.  The  Group  uses  a  variety  of  methods  and 
makes assumptions that are based on market conditions 
existing at each balance date. Quoted market prices or 
dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-
term debt instruments held. Other techniques, such as 
estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine 
fair value for the remaining financial instruments. 

The  nominal  value  less  estimated  credit  adjustments 
of  trade  receivables  and  payables  are  assumed  to 
approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short-term 
nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure 
purposes 
is  estimated  by  discounting  the  future 
contractual  cash  flows  at  the  current  market  interest 
rate  that  is  available  to  the  Group  for  similar  financial 
instruments.

(o)	 Leasehold	improvements

The cost of improvements to or on leasehold properties 
is  amortised  over  the  unexpired  period  of  the  lease  or 
the  estimated  useful  life  of  the  improvement  to  the 
Group, whichever is the shorter. Refer note 1(q).

(p)	 Derivatives	and	hedging	activities

Derivatives  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  on 
the  date  a  derivative  contract  is  entered  into  and  are 
subsequently  remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each 
reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes 
in  fair  value  depends  on  whether  the  derivative  is 
designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature 
of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain 
derivatives as either:

■■

■■

■■

Hedges  of  the  fair  value  of  recognised  assets 
and  liabilities  or  a  firm  commitment  (fair  value 
hedges);
Hedges  of  the  cashflows  of  recognised  assets 
and 
liabilities  and  highly  probable  forecast 
transactions (cashflow hedges); or
Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation 
(net investment hedges).

At  the 
Group  documents  the  relationship  between  hedging 
instruments  and  hedged  items,  as  well  as  its  risk 
management  objective  and  strategy  for  undertaking 
various hedge transactions. The Group also documents 
its  assessment,  both  at  hedge  inception  and  on  an 
ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used 
in hedging transactions have been and will continue to 
be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or 
cashflows of hedged items.

The fair values of various derivative financial instruments 
used  for  hedging  purposes  are  disclosed  in  note  8. 
Movements  in  the  hedging  reserve  in  shareholders’ 
equity  are  shown  in  note  20.  The  full  fair  value  of  a 
hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or 
liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item 
is more than 12 months. If the remaining maturity of the 
hedged item is less than 12 months it is classified as a 
current asset or liability. Trading derivatives are classified 
as a current asset or liability.

Fair value hedge

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivatives  that  are 
designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded 
in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  together 
with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or 
liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The gain 
or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate 
swaps  hedging  fixed  rate  borrowings  is  recognised  in 
the statement of comprehensive income within ‘finance 
costs’,  together  with  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the 
hedged  fixed  rate  borrowings  attributable  to  interest 
rate  risk.  The  gain  or  loss  relating  to  the  ineffective 
portion is recognised in the statement of comprehensive 
income within ‘other income’ or ‘other expenses’.

If  the  hedge  no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge 
accounting,  the  adjustment  to  the  carrying  amount  of 
a hedged item for which the effective interest method 
is used is amortised to the statement of comprehensive 
income over the period to maturity using a recalculated 
effective interest rate.

Cashflow hedge

The  effective  portion  of  changes  in  the  fair  value  of 
derivatives that are designated and qualify as cashflow 
hedges is recognised in the statement of comprehensive 
income  and  in  the  hedging  reserve  in  equity.  The  gain 
or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised 
immediately in the statement of comprehensive income 
within ‘other income’ or ‘other expense’.

Amounts  accumulated  in  equity  are  recycled  in  the 
statement  of  comprehensive  income  in  the  periods 
when  the  hedged  item  affects  profit  or  loss.  The  gain 
or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate 
swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in 
the income statement within ‘finance costs’. The gain or 
loss relating to the effective portion of forward foreign 
exchange contracts hedging export sales is recognised 
in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘sales’. 

However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged 
results  in  the  recognition  of  a  non-financial  asset 
the  gains  and  losses  previously  deferred  in  equity 
are  transferred  from  equity  and  included  in  the  initial 
measurement  of  the  cost  of  the  asset.  The  deferred 
amounts are ultimately recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income as costs of goods sold in the case 
of inventory, or as depreciation in the case of property, 
plant and equipment.

When  a  hedging  instrument  expires  or  is  sold  or 
terminated,  or  when  a  hedge  no  longer  meets  the 
criteria  for  hedge  accounting,  any  cumulative  gain  or 
loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and 
is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately 
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 
When  a  forecast  transaction  is  no  longer  expected  to 
occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in 
equity  is  immediately  transferred  to  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income.

Net investment hedges

investments 

Hedges  of  net 
in  foreign  operations 
are  accounted  for  similarly  to  cashflow  hedges.  Any 
gain  or  loss  on  the  hedging  instrument  relating  to  the 
effective  portion  of  the  hedges  is  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive 
income  and  accumulated  reserves 
in  equity.  The  gain  or  loss  relating  to  the  ineffective 
portion  is  recognised  immediately  in  the  statement  of 
comprehensive  income,  within  ‘other  income’  or  ‘other 
expense’.  Gains  or  losses  accumulated  in  equity  are 
included  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income 
when  the  foreign  operation  is  partially  disposed  of  or 
sold.

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge 
accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative 
instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting 
are  recognised 
in  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income and are included in ‘other income’ 
or ‘other expenses’.

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(q)	 Property,	plant	and	equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost 
less  depreciation.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure 
that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the 
items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any 
gains/losses  on  qualifying  cashflow  hedges  of  foreign 
currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying 
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits 
associated  with  the  item  will  flow  to  the  Group  and 
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other 
repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement 
of comprehensive income during the financial period in 
which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation 
of  land  and  buildings  are  credited,  net  of  tax,  in  other 
comprehensive  income  and  to  the  revaluation  reserve 
in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase 
reverses  a  decrease  previously  recognised 
in  the 
income  statement,  the  increase  is  first  recognised  in 
the income statement. Decreases that reverse previous 
increases of the same asset are first recognised in other 
comprehensive  income  to  the  extent  of  the  remaining 
surplus attributable to the asset, all other decreases are 
to profit or loss. 

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is 
generally calculated on a straight-line (SL) or diminishing 
value (DV) basis so as to allocate the cost, net of residual 
values,  of  each  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
(excluding  land  and  rental  engines)  over  its  estimated 
useful life to the Group. For rental engines, depreciation 
is based on the estimated operating hours. The line item 
in the statement of comprehensive income in which the 
depreciation  and  amortisation  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment is included is ‘depreciation and amortisation’.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Class

Buildings

Leasehold improvements

Leasehold improvements - leased

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment – leased

Rental engines

Airframes

Certain  items  of  plant  and  equipment,  primarily  rental 
engines, are required to be overhauled on a regular basis. 
This  is  managed  as  part  of  an  ongoing  major  cyclical 
maintenance  program.  The  costs  of  this  maintenance 
are charged as expenses as incurred, except where they 
relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in 
which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated in 
accordance with the above. The carrying amount of the 
replaced  part  is  derecognised.  Other  routine  operating 
maintenance,  repair  and  minor  renewal  costs  are  also 
charged as expenses as incurred.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, 
and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately 
to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount 
is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 
1 (j)).

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by 
comparing  proceeds  with  carrying  amount.  These  are 
included  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income. 
When  re-valued  assets  are  sold,  it  is  Group  policy  to 
transfer the amounts included in revaluation reserves in 
respect of those assets to retained earnings.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

1.	

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(r)	

Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  an 
acquisition  over  the  fair  value  of  the  Group’s  share  of 
the  net  identifiable  assets  of  the  acquired  subsidiary 
at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions 
of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill 
is  not  amortised.  Instead  it  is  tested  for  impairment 
annually  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances  indicate  that  it  might  be  impaired,  and 
is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  impairment  losses. 
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the 
carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  the  cash  generating  units  for 
the  purpose  of  impairment  testing.  The  allocation  is 
made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-
generating  units  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from 
the  business  combination  in  which  the  goodwill  arose, 
identified according to operating segments (note 28).

Computer software

Costs  incurred  in  acquiring  software  and  licenses  that 
will contribute to future period financial benefits through 
revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised 
to  software  and  systems.  Costs  capitalised  include 
external  direct  costs  of  materials  and  service,  direct 
payroll and payroll related costs of employees’ time spent 
on the project. Computer software has a finite life and is 
carried  at  cost  less  any  accumulated  amortisation  and 
any impairment losses. Computer software is amortised 
on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 7 
years. The line item in the statement of comprehensive 
income in which the amortisation of computer software 
is included is ‘depreciation and amortisation’ expense.

(s)	 Trade	and	other	payables

of  comprehensive  income  over  the  period  of  the 
borrowings  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Fees 
paid  on  the  establishment  of  loan  facilities,  which  are 
not  an  incremental  cost  relating  to  the  actual  draw-
down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and 
amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the 
facility.

The  fair  value  of  the  liability  portion  of  a  note  (with 
an  attached  option  to  convert  into  ordinary  shares)  is 
determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent 
non-convertible  note.  This  amount  is  recorded  as  a 
liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on 
conversion or maturity of the note. The remainder of the 
proceeds  is  allocated  to  the  conversion  option.  This  is 
recognised  and  included  in  shareholders’  equity,  net  of 
income tax effects.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when 
the  obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is  discharged, 
cancelled  or  expired.  The  difference  between  the 
carrying  amount  of  a  financial  liability  that  has  been 
extinguished  or  transferred  to  another  party  and  the 
including  any  non-cash  assets 
consideration  paid, 
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in ‘other 
income’ or ‘other expense’. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the 
Group  has  an  unconditional  right  to  defer  settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance 
sheet date.

(u)	 Borrowing	costs

Borrowing  costs  incurred  for  the  construction  of  any 
qualifying  asset  are  capitalised  during  the  period  of 
time that is required to complete and prepare the asset 
for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are 
expensed.  The  amount  of  borrowing  costs  capitalised 
is  determined  as  the  actual  borrowing  costs  incurred 
as  funds  are  borrowed  specifically  for  the  purpose  of 
obtaining a qualifying asset.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair 
value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(v)	 Employee	benefits

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial 
year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and 
are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(t)	 Borrowings

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  statement 

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

including  non-
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries, 
leave  and  accumulating 
monetary  benefits,  annual 
sick  leave  expected  to  be  settled  within  12  months 
of  the  reporting  date  are  recognised  in  the  employee 
benefits provision in respect of employees’ services up 
to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The 
liability  for  annual  leave  and  accumulating  sick  leave  is 
recognised  in  the  provision  for  employee  benefits.  All 
other  short-term  employee  benefit  obligations  are 
presented as payables.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

1.	

Summary	of	Significant		
Accounting	Policies	(continued)

(v)	 Employee	benefits	(continued)

Long service leave

The  liability  for  long  service  leave  is  recognised  in  the 
employee  benefits  provision  and  measured  as  the 
present value of expected future payments to be made 
in  respect  of  services  provided  by  employees  up  to 
the  reporting  date.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected 
future wage and salary levels, experience of employee 
departures  and  periods  of  service.  Expected  future 
payments  are  discounted  using  market  yields  at  the 
reporting  date  on  national  government  bonds  with 
terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Superannuation

The Group makes contributions to defined contribution 
superannuation funds. Contributions are recognised as an 
expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions 
are  recognised  as  an  asset  to  the  extent  that  a  cash 
refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. 

Profit sharing and bonus plans

The  Group  recognises  a  liability  and  an  expense  for 
bonuses  and  profit  sharing  based  on  a  formula  that 
takes  into  consideration  the  profit  attributable  to  the 
company’s  shareholders  after  certain  adjustments. 
The  Group  recognises  a  provision  where  contractually 
obliged or where there is a past practice that has created 
a constructive obligation.

(w)	 Provisions

Provisions  for  service  warranties  and  make  good 
obligations are recognised when the Group has a present 
legal  or  constructive  obligation  as  a  result  of  past 
events,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  will 
be required to settle the obligation and the amount has 
been reliably estimated.

Provisions  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of 
management’s best estimate of the expenditure required 
to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  the  reporting  date. 
The discount rate used to determine the present value 
reflects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specific to the liability. 

Share-based payments

(x)	 Contributed	equity

Share-based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to 
employees  via  the  PTB  Group  Limited  Employee  Share 
Option Scheme as detailed in note 24.

The fair value of options granted under the PTB Group 
Limited  Employee  Share  Option  Scheme  is  recognised 
as  an  employee  benefit  expense  with  a  corresponding 
increase  in  equity.  The  fair  value  is  measured  at  grant 
date  and  recognised  over  the  period  during  which  the 
employees  become  unconditionally  entitled  to  the 
options.

The  fair  value  at  grant  date  is  determined  using  a 
Binomial  option  pricing  model  that  takes  into  account 
the  exercise  price,  the  term  of  the  option,  the  share 
price at grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying  share,  the  expected  dividend  yield  and  the 
risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact 
of  any  non-market  vesting  conditions  (for  example, 
profitability  and  sales  growth  targets  and  performance 
and service criteria). Non-market vesting conditions are 
included  in  assumptions  about  the  number  of  options 
that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance 
sheet date, the entity revises its estimate of the number 
of options that are expected to become exercisable. The 
employee benefit expense recognised each period takes 
into account the most recent estimate.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of 
new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, 
net of tax, from proceeds. 

(y)	 Dividends

Provision  is  made  for  the  amount  of  any  dividend 
declared,  being  appropriately  authorised  and  no  longer 
at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of 
the year but not distributed at balance date.

(z)	 Earnings	per	share

Basic earnings per share

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  the 
profit  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  company, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than 
ordinary  shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  
of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted 
for  bonus  elements  in  ordinary  shares  issued  during  
the year.

judgements

(z)	 Earnings	per	share	(continued)

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  figures  used  in 
the  determination  of  basic  earnings  per  share  to  take 
into account the after income tax effect of interest and 
other  financing  costs  associated  with  dilutive  potential 
ordinary  shares  and  the  weighted  average  number  of 
shares that would have been outstanding assuming the 
conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(aa)	 Goods	and	services	tax

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of 
the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

■■

■■ Where  the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  it  is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an 
asset or as part of an item of expense; 
For 
receivables  and  payables  which  are 
recognised inclusive of GST. The net amounts of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority  is  included  as  part  of  receivables  or 
payables; or
Cashflows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis  and 
the  GST  components  of  cashflows  arising 
from  investing  or  financing  activities  which  are 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to  the  taxation 
authority, are presented as operating cashflows.

(ab)	 Rounding	of	amounts

The  company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  class  order 
98/100, 
issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and 
Investments  Commission,  relating  to  the  “rounding 
off”  of  amounts  in  the  financial  statements.  Amounts 
in  the  financial  statements  have  been  rounded  off  in 
accordance with that class order to the nearest thousand 
dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(ac)	 General

PTB Group Limited is a public company limited by shares, 
incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Listed below is 
the registered office, principal place of business, and its 
principal administrative office:

22 Orient Avenue
Pinkenba QLD 4007
Ph: +61 7 3637 7000

The  company  changed  its  name  on  1  December  2006 
from Pacific Turbine Brisbane Limited to PTB Group Limited.

The  Group  evaluates  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 company. 
Key  estimates  and  judgements  impacting  the  financial 
statements are as follows:

Impairment

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered 
any  impairment  in  accordance  with  the  accounting 
policy  stated  in  note  1(j).  The  recoverable  amounts  of 
cash-generating units have been determined based on 
value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the 
use of assumptions. Refer to note 13 for details of these 
assumptions and the potential impact of changes to the 
assumptions. 

(ae)	 	New	accounting	standards	and	

interpretations

Accounting Standards not Previously Applied 

The  Group  has  adopted  the  following  new  and  revised 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  issued  by  the  AASB 
which have mandatory application to the current period. 
Disclosures required by these Standards that are deemed 
material  have  been  included  in  this  financial  report  on 
the  basis  that  they  represent  a  significant  change  in 
information from that previously made available. 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and 
interpretations have been identified as those which may 
impact the entity in the period of initial application. They 
are  available  for  early  adoption  at  30  June  2011,  but 
have not been applied in preparing this financial report: 

(i)  AASB  9  Financial  Instruments,  AASB  2009-
11  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  arising  from  AASB  9  and  AASB 
2010-7  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  arising  from  AASB  9  (December 
2010) (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 9 
Financial Instruments addresses the classification, 
measurement  and  derecognition  of  financial 
assets and financial liabilities. 
The  standard  is  not  applicable  until  1  January 
2013  but  is  available  for  early  adoption.  When 
adopted,  the  standard  will  affect  in  particular 
the  group’s  accounting  for  its  available-for-sale 
financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the

recognition of fair value gains and losses in other 
comprehensive  income  if  they  relate  to  equity 
investments  that  are  not  held  for  trading.  Fair 
value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt 
investments, for example, will therefore have to 
be recognised directly in profit or loss. 
There will be no impact on the group’s accounting 
for  financial  liabilities,  as  the  new  requirements 
only affect the accounting for financial liabilities 
that  are  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit 
or  loss  and  the  group  does  not  have  any  such 
liabilities.  The  derecognition  rules  have  been 
transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: 
Recognition and Measurement and have not been 
changed. The group has not yet decided when to 
adopt AASB 9.

(ii)  Revised  AASB  124  Related  Party  Disclosures 
and  AASB  2009-12  Amendments  to  Australian 
Accounting Standards (effective from 1 January 
2011).
In  December  2009  the  AASB  issued  a  revised 
is 
AASB  124  Related  Party  Disclosures. 
effective  for  accounting  periods  beginning  on 
or  after  1  January  2011  and  must  be  applied 
retrospectively.  The  amendment  clarifies  and 
simplifies  the  definition  of  a  related  party  and 
removes  the  requirement  for  government-
related  entities  to  disclose  details  of  all 
transactions  with  the  government  and  other 
government-related  entities.  The  group  will 
apply  the  amended  standard  from  1  July  2011. 
When  the  amendments  are  applied,  the  group 
will  need  to  disclose  any  transactions  between 
its  subsidiaries  and  its  associates.  However, 
there  will  be  no  impact  on  any  of  the  amounts 
recognised in the financial statements.

(iii) AASB  2009-14  Amendments  to  Australian 
Interpretation  –  Prepayments  of  a  Minimum 
Funding  Requirement  (effective  from  1  January 
2011).
In December 2009, the AASB made an amendment 
to  Interpretation  14  The  Limit  on  a  Defined 
Benefit  Asset,  Minimum  Funding  Requirements 
and  their  Interaction.  The  amendment  removes 
an unintended consequence of the interpretation 
related  to  voluntary  prepayments  when  there 
is  a  minimum  funding  requirement  in  regard  to 
the  entity’s  defined  benefit  scheme.  It  permits 
entities  to  recognise  an  asset  for  a  prepayment 
of contributions made to cover minimum funding 
requirements.

The group does not make any such prepayments. 
The amendment is therefore not expected to have 
any  impact  on  the  group’s  financial  statements. 
The group intends to apply the amendment from 
1 July 2011.

(iv) AASB  1053  Application  of  Tiers  of  Australian 

Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
arising  from  Reduced  Disclosure  Requirements 
(effective from 1 July 2013).

  On 30 June 2010 the AASB officially introduced 
a  revised  differential  reporting  framework  in 
Australia.  Under  this  framework,  a  two-tier 
differential reporting regime applies to all entities 
that prepare general purpose financial statements. 
PTB Group Limited is listed on the ASX and is not 
eligible  to  adopt  the  new  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  –  Reduced  Disclosure  Requirements. 
The two standards will therefore have no impact 
on the financial statements of the entity.

(v)  AASB  2010-6  Amendments 

to  Australian 
Accounting Standards – Disclosures on Transfers 
of Financial Assets (effective for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011).
to  AASB  7  Financial 
Amendments  made 
in  November  2010 
Instruments:  Disclosures 
introduce  additional  disclosures  in  respect  of 
risk  exposures  arising  from  transferred  financial 
assets.  The  amendments  will  affect  particularly 
entities  that  sell,  factor,  securitise,  lend  or 
otherwise  transfer  financial  assets  to  other 
parties.  They  are  not  expected  to  have  any 
significant impact on the group’s disclosures. The 
group  intends  to  apply  the  amendment  from  1 
July 2011. 

(vi) AASB  2010-8  Amendments 

to  Australian 
Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery 
of  Underlying  Assets  (effective  from  1  January 
2012).
In  December  2010,  the  AASB  amended  AASB 
112 Income Taxes to provide a practical approach 
for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred 
tax assets when investment property is measured 
using the fair value model. AASB 112 requires the 
measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities 
to reflect the tax consequences that would follow 
from the way management expects to recover or 
settle the carrying amount of the relevant assets 
or liabilities that is through use or through sale. 

The  amendment  introduces  a  rebuttable  presumption 
that investment property which is measured at fair value 
is  recovered  entirely  by  sale.  The  group  will  apply  the 
amendment from 1 July 2012. It is currently evaluating 
the impact of the amendment.

As at 30 June 2011, unimpaired trade receivables greater than 30 days represent amounts past due but not impaired. 
Based on the credit history of these other classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received when due. The 
Group and holds retention of title over goods sold until cash is received.

Movements in the provision for impairment of receivables are as follows:

At 1 July

Maintenance contract receivables are generally unsecured. The relevant agreements require fixed monthly payments 
over the term of the contracts which are generally up to 5 years.

Extended	credit	receivables

Extended  credit  receivables  (hire  purchase  agreements)  represent  amounts  owed  by  customers  for  engines  and 
aircraft  sold  to  those  customers.  The  amounts  owed  by  customers  are  secured  under  hire  purchase  agreements 
between  the  Group  and  the  customer.  The  amounts  are  repayable  by  the  customers  by  monthly  instalments  of 
principal and fixed interest over periods of 1 to 5 years. Furthermore, the agreements do not include any contingent 
rentals. The receivables are secured as the rights to the engine and/or aircraft revert to the Group in event of default. 
The engines and aircraft are maintained and insured by the customers and at the end of the term of the agreement 
are retained by the customers. None of the extended credit receivables are impaired, or past due but not impaired.

Rental	arrangements	–	aircraft	and	engines

The Group rents aircraft and engines under two general arrangements:

■■

■■

Contingent rentals - rented to customers under agreements with rentals payable monthly and no fixed term. 
As such, the agreements are cancellable. The rent is calculated on the basis of an hourly rate and hours of 
usage. There are no minimum hours of usage or minimum lease payments set out in the relevant agreements. 
As  such,  in  accordance  with  AASB  117  “Leases”  the  rental  income  comprises  of  contingent  rentals  not 
minimum lease payments. Accordingly, there are no fixed lease commitments receivable; and
Set or minimum rentals - the operating leases relate to aircraft and/or engines leased to third parties with 
lease terms of between 3-7 years. The monthly rental payments are either set or per hour of usage with 
minimum hours per annum. In addition, a contingent rental may be receivable based upon hours of usage. The 
lessee may have an option to purchase the aircraft/engine at the expiry of the lease period. However, the final 
purchase price is determined on a case by case basis in negotiation between the Group and the lessee.

Minimum lease payments in relation to aircraft and engine operating leases are receivable as follows:

No later than one year

Later than one year but not later than five years

Goodwill is allocated to the IAP operations as a single cash-generating unit (CGU) which is included in the Aircraft and 
Engines Sales/Rentals primary business segment. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value 
in use calculations. These calculations use cashflow projections based on financial budgets approved by management 
covering a five-year period and include a terminal value adjusted for the perpetual growth rate.

Key	assumptions	used	for	value-in-use	calculations

The calculations utilise a pre-tax risk adjusted discount rate of 10.6% (2010: 11.5%). An average growth rate of 
4% (2010: 2%) has been used. Management determined budgeted net profit based on past performance and its 
expectations for the future. The discount rate reflects the specific risks relating to the relevant segment in which IAP 
operates.

Impact	of	possible	changes	in	key	assumptions

The Directors consider that there is no reasonably possible change in key assumptions which management has based 
its determination of IAP’s recoverable amount which would cause the carrying amount of IAP’s CGU to exceed its 
recoverable amount.

Unsecured	Notes	

During the 2006 year, PTB Finance Limited (a subsidiary of PTB Group Limited) issued 4,588,800 unsecured notes at 
$1 per note raising $4,588,800 in cash. The notes were rolled for a further 2 years on 30 November 2008. Nominal 
interest of 14% (2009: 14%) per annum (fixed) is payable monthly in arrears. Noteholders also received one option 
to acquire shares in PTB Group Limited for every $2 invested in the notes in four six monthly tranches commencing 
from the issue date. The exercise period expired on 30 November 2010 at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. 
The options are transferable. Although the notes themselves are unsecured, there is an intercompany charge over 
the assets of PTB Rentals Pty Ltd for the benefit of noteholders at an LVR of 80%. The Group complied with this 
requirement for the current and previous financial year.

On 31st December 2010 PTB paid out the notes via a 2 year bill facility from the CBA. No notes were outstanding as 
at 30th June 2011.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

15.	 Borrowings	(continued)

Bank	Overdraft,	Bank	Loans	and	Bills	Payable

On  30th  November  2010  PTB  was  granted  a  2  year  $4  million  Bill  facility  by  the  CBA  to  payout  the  unsecured 
noteholders. This facility was fully drawn-down on 29 December 2010 and the unsecured notes were fully paid on 
31st December 2010.

On 6 January 2010 the Group completed the refinancing of its existing bank facilities and the Emerald loan in which 
the  Emerald  Financier  accepted  a  total  payment  of  $10.4  million  in  cash,  together  with  the  issue  of  4,203,283 
shares, in full settlement of the outstanding loan balance of approximately $15 million. The profit on the settlement 
was $3.6 million. 

Under the new arrangements, the bank overdraft, bank loans and bills payable are secured by way of a registered 
company charge over the whole of the assets and undertakings of the parent entity and that of its subsidiaries PTB 
Emerald Pty Ltd and IAP Group Australia Pty Ltd of $42.883 million (2010: $41.695 million). Included in the above 
are bank loans and finance leases in the subsidiaries that are secured by the relevant aviation assets included in plant 
and equipment and inventory of the  relevant subsidiary. In addition while  there  is money  owed  to  the  lender,  no 
return of capital, dividends or payments can be made to ordinary shareholders in PTB or related parties without its 
approval.

The Group’s primary arrangements are subject to an annual review each year in November.

Lease	Liabilities

Lease liabilities are effectively secured as the rights to the leased assets revert to the lessor in the event of default.

Other	Loans	–	Related	Parties

Refer note 23 for information on other loans from related parties.

Effective	Interest	Rates

Information concerning the effective interest rates is set out in note 27.

Finance	Facilities

Information concerning available facilities including used and unused portion of the finance facilities is set out in note 27. 

Assets	Pledged	as	Security

Certain assets of the Group are pledged as security for the facilities as noted above.

19.	 Contributed	Equity	(continued)

Capital	Risk	Management

The Group’s and the parent entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a 
going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns to shareholders, benefits to other stakeholders, and to 
maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, 
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Board of Directors monitors the 
return on capital, which the Group defines as net profit after tax divided by average shareholders’ equity.

24.	 Share-based	Payments

Employee	Share	Option	Scheme

The establishment of the Employee Share Option Scheme was approved by shareholders on 3 June 2005. All staff 
are eligible to participate in the scheme, including executive Directors.

Options  are  granted  under  the  scheme  for  no  consideration.  The  exercise  price  will  be  the  amount  specified  by 
the remuneration committee at the time of issue. The exercise period is the period specified by the remuneration 
committee at the time of issue. Options under the plan may not exceed 5% of the total number of issued shares of 
the company at the date of issue.

Options lapse if prior to or during the exercise period the employee is terminated or resigns. If a person dies, becomes 
disabled, or is made redundant prior to the exercise period the option lapses. If a person dies, becomes disabled, or is 
made redundant during the exercise period special rules apply that allow options to be exercised.

Options granted under the scheme carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible 
into one ordinary share for cash. Amounts receivable on the exercise of options are recognised as share capital.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of share options outstanding at the end of the 2011 year was Nil years 
(2010: 0.17 years).

No options were exercised during the current or prior year. 

Fair value of options granted 

The assessed fair value at grant date of the options granted during the year ended 30 June 2007 was $1.01 per option 
for the 30 December 2006 grant and $0.54 per option for the 31 May 2007 grant (2006: 35 cents per option). The fair 
value at grant date is determined using a Binomial option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term 
of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield 
and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

The model inputs for options granted as at 31 May 2007, 30 December 2006, and September 2005 respectively included:

Grant date

Life

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility of the entity up to the grant date of the options as well as 
the historic volatility of a number of similar entities (based on a period with a similar life of the options). The fair value of 
the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. There were no market based conditions.

No such options were granted in the current or prior year.

27.	 Financial	Risk	Management	and	Other	Financial	Instrument	Disclosures

Financial	Risk	Management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk, 
and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management 
program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the 
financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management 
identifies, evaluates and addresses financial risks and uses different methods to measure different types of risk to 
which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other 
price risks, and ageing analysis for credit risk. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as 
policies covering specific areas, such as mitigating foreign exchange, interest rate and credit risks, use of derivative 
financial instruments and investing excess liquidity.

(a)	 Market	risk

(i) 

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated 
in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily arising from sale and purchase 
transactions denominated in US dollars and UK pounds. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cashflow 
forecasting.

These derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes to minimise foreign exchange risk on relevant transactions 
and the Group does not speculate on foreign currency. The Group manages this risk through matching, to the extent 
possible, of US dollar denominated receivables and payables. All transactions which are exposed to foreign exchange 
risk are authorised by senior management.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

Trade and other receivables

Forward exchange contracts

Trade and other payables

Borrowings

Other liabilities

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

27.	 Financial	Risk	Management	and	Other	Financial	Instrument	Disclosures	(continued)

(a)	 Market	risk	(continued)

Group sensitivity

Based  on  the  financial  instruments  held  at  30  June  2011,  had  the  Australian  dollar  weakened/strengthened  by  
10% against the USD dollar, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post tax profit for the year would 
have been $527,000 higher/$644,000 lower (2010: $1,006,000 higher/$839,000 lower), mainly as a result of 
foreign exchange gains and losses on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in the 
above table. 

Equity  would  have  been  $527,000  higher/$644,000  lower  (2010:  $1,006,000  higher/$823,000  lower)  had  
the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar due to the reasons noted above. Equity  
is  less  sensitive  to  movements  in  the  Australian  dollar/US  dollar  exchange  rates  in  net  US  dollar  Statement  of  
Financial Position exposure in 2011 compared to 2010 as  a  consequence of  the  significant strengthening  of the 
Australian dollar. 

The Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

The strengthening of the Australian dollar by 25% from $US 0.85 at 30 June 2010 compared to $US 1.065 at 30 
June 2011 has reduced the impact of the +-10% market risk sensitivity calculation. 

As  the  company  undertakes  the  majority  of  its  sales  and  purchases  in  US  dollars  and  margin  is  generated  in  
US dollars it is negatively impacted by this significant, 25%, strengthening of the Australian dollar as demonstrated 
by the foreign exchange loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for 2011 of $A 2,659,000 (2010: loss 
$697,000).

(ii) 

Price risk

The Group is not directly exposed to material equity securities price risk or commodity price risk.

(iii) 

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The  Group  has  significant  interest  bearing  liabilities,  as  detailed  below.  The  majority  of  these  liabilities  bear  fixed 
interest rates. The fair value interest rate risk is not hedged. However, as noted above, the fixed interest rate bank 
loans are generally used to fund extended credit receivables. Loans from financial institutions are used to purchase 
and refurbish aviation assets. Although the fair value interest rate risk is not hedged where possible the loans are 
matched against receivables in currencies that match the interest rate risk. The unsecured notes which bear a fixed 
interest rate were primarily issued to fund the engine rental pool which derives rental revenue as disclosed in note 2. 
The unsecured notes were repaid on 31 December 2010.

Variable rate debt (primarily the bank overdraft) is also not hedged.

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial 
assets and financial liabilities is set out below:

As the majority of the interest rates are fixed, at 30 June 2011 if interest rates had changed by -/+100 basis points 
from  year-end  rates  with  all  other  variables  held  constant,  post  tax  profit  and  equity  for  the  year  would  not  be 
materially impacted (2010: immaterial).

Net Fair Values

The net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying values.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2011 (Continued)

(b)	 Credit	risk

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

The main credit risk arises from receivables balances. These balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the 
result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not considered significant by the Directors. Management review the 
credit rating of each customer, taking into account any previous trading history with the Group, its financial position, 
and external credit reports where appropriate. Individual risk limits are set based on internal ratings and compliance 
is regularly monitored by management.

and external credit reports where appropriate. Individual risk limits are set based on internal ratings and compliance 
is regularly monitored by management.

The  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk,  excluding  the  value  of  any  collateral  or  other  security,  at  balance  date  to 
recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed 
in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial 
instruments at balance date except as follows:

■■

■■

■■

The Group’s customers are involved in the airline passenger and freight operation industry;
There  are  a  number  of  individually  significant  receivables.  For  example  at  30  June  2011  the  largest  10 
debtors comprised approximately 86% (2010: 89%) of total receivables. It should be noted that the largest 
debtor is an extended credit receivable to a customer in Indonesia which accounts for 69% (2010: 70%) of 
total receivables. The Group has security over the underlying asset in the event of a default, in conjunction 
with guarantees of $5 million USD from the parent entity of the customer. There is a broad spread of other 
trade and extended credit receivables comprising 10% and 12% (2010: 11% and 14%) of total receivables 
respectively; and
The receivables are concentrated in six main geographical areas. Refer to note 28 for further information.

At balance date cash was held with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

(c)	 Liquidity	risk	

Prudent  liquidity  risk  management  implies  maintaining  sufficient  cash  and  the  availability  of  funding  through  an 
adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast 
and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

The Group also ensures that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities and cash reserves are maintained. The Group’s 
objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank overdrafts, 
bank loans, unsecured notes, and finance leases and finance company loans.

Groups  entering  into  Tax  Consolidation  are  required  to  reset  the  tax  asset  values.  The  Group  entered  into  a  Tax 
Consolidated Group effective 1st July 2009 and omitted to undertake the tax asset value reset in the 2009 accounts.

This omission has required amendments to the 2009 accounts and submission of amended income tax returns for 
2009 and 2010. These amendments have given rise to an unpaid current tax liability of $41,173 and have no impact 
on the 2009 result as the net change to deferred tax accounts of $1,000,179 as per accounting standards has been 
applied to retained earnings. 

The  error  has  been  corrected  via  restatement  of  the  comparatives  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2010  being  the 
earliest year presented in this annual report. The following table outlines the amount of the corrections for each line 
item affected included in the restated comparative accounts for the year ended 30 June 2010 and the impact on the 
opening balances of those restated accounts as at 1 July 2009:

A WHK Group Firm

To the members of PTB Group Limited

Report	on	the	Financial	Statements

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  PBT  Group  Limited,  which  comprises  the  consolidated 
statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2011,  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 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 Statements

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that give a true and fair view 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control 
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material 
misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Accounting 
Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that 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  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
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 
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of 
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, 
the  auditor  considers  internal  control  relevant  to  the  entity’s  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  the  financial 
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose 
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the 
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, 
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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