for the year ended 30 June 2013

1. 

Results

Net profit after tax for the Group was $0.368 million in 2013 compared to $1.375 million in 2012.  Basic earnings 
per share were 1.14 cents (4.27 cents in 2012).

Operationally however,  the result showed significant improvement. Two loss-incurring transactions were executed 
which generated cash and provided other operational benefits.

The  above  table  shows  the  operational  progress 
continuing to be made, in particular in the PTB Business.   
Progress was also made in refocusing the IAP Business. 
The  Emerald  operation  continues  as  a  challenge   
Overall  it  was  a  very  encouraging  operational  result  in 
a  challenging  business  environment.    A  discussion  on 
the trading of each division of the business is set out in 
Section 4.

The  result  has  been  achieved  while  managing  a  robust 
loan  repayment  program  for  Emerald  and  IAP,  and  a 
strong AUD relative to the USD for the financial year. 

The  Group  continues  to  make  substantial  progress 
in  working  through  the  issues  created  by  the  Global 
Financial Crisis (GFC) in respect to financing of second 
and third tier aircraft and a strong AUD. The efficiencies 
implemented as a result of the strong Australian dollar 
will assist profitability as the AUD weakens.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

To  meet  these  challenges  and  build  profitability  the 
Group continues its focus as follows:

(cid:3)(cid:81) managing  cash  flow  to  pay  down  debt  and 

build working capital;

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

concentrating on core competencies ; 

asset utilisation and deployment;

recurring earnings;

PT6A engine shop capability;

targeting a natural currency hedge.

Managing cash flow to pay down debt and 
build working capital

The  Group  has  paid  down  $4.1  million  of  debt  in  the 
2013 financial year (2012: $3.5 million). The Group will 
continue to pay down debt to reduce its exposure.

The  Group  received  $3.19  million  cash  from  the  early 
payout  of  two  long  term  HP  debtors  of  which  $2.9 
million was used to pay down debt.

The  Group  refinanced  the  Capital  Finance  loan  balance 
of  USD1.8  million  with  a  USD  denominated  loan  with 
the CBA. The CBA’s facilities as at 30 June 2013 total 
$15.263 million representing 85 per cent of the Group’s 
loan funds ($2.6 million being a related party loan). 

order to continue this improvement the Parts Business 
was  split  at  year  end  into  engine  sales,  engine  parts 
sales  and  airframe  part  sales  with  each  section  being 
responsible for its costs and margins.

In the past engines were the backbone of the IAP Parts 
Business. IAP has the sales staff with the technical and 
commercial  experience  to  once  again  make  engines  a 
major  contributor  to  improving  IAP  profitability.  The 
initial focus will be on support for Rolls Royce Dart, Spey 
and  Tay  engines  of  which  IAP  has  significant  inventory 
holdings.  The  focus  on  engines  will  lead  to  increased 
brokerage  opportunities  in  engine  and  parts  sales  in 
PW100, CFM56, V2500 and ALF502 engines. 

The  airframe  parts  business  is  focused  on  ATP,  Fokker 
F27, HS748 and the modern Fokker F100. IAP has three 
F100’s it is breaking down for parts which will support 
the  F100  product  line  in  both  engines  and  airframe 
parts.

The remaining inventory lines will continue to contribute 
to sales and cash as they are sold down. 

Customer aircraft part requirements are demand driven. 
IAP parts inventory is listed on the various global aircraft 
parts  data  bases.  IAP  recently  upgraded  to  a  Platinum 
subscriber  on  ILS  (Inventory  Locator  Service)  a  major 
Global aircraft parts and service data base. The Platinum 
supplier  designation  enables  a  supplier  to  move  to  the 
top  of  a  parts  enquiry  as  a  supplier  of  up  to  date  and 
accurate inventory from a quality assured supplier.  

PTB’s  working  capital  position  continues  to  improve 
enabling  it  to  increase  profitability  through  various 
initiatives.

One-off  trading  and  special  projects  remains  an 
important  part  of  the  business  but  the  changes  to 
aviation  since  the  GFC  has  significantly  reduced  these 
opportunities.

IAP has a robust loan repayment program.  Turnover is 
forecast to strengthen in the 2014 financial year which 
will improve IAP’s liquidity.

Emerald has an aggressive loan repayment program with 
debt  reduction  from  asset  sales  and  improved  asset 
utilisation being the primary operational targets.

Concentrating on core competencies 

IAP Business

IAP  continues  the  shift  back  to  core  trading  activities 
and a reduced reliance on one-off trading opportunities 
and special projects to make a profit.

The internet and the GFC have required IAP to become 
more  focused  on  select  product  lines.  The  traditional 
IAP  parts  business  covered  a  wide  range  of  inventory 
and lines. The focus on select product lines produced an 
improvement  in  the  IAP  Parts  Business  profitability.  In 

PTB Brisbane

PTB  is  a  focused  engine  business  concentrating  on 
the PT6 and TPE331 engines. The TPE331 engine is a 
significant contributor to Brisbane’s profitability but it is 
a mature engine with a slowly declining operator base.  
PTB  has  a  number  of  TPE331  engine  management 
contracts which will assist maintain profitability into the 
future. The PT6A small engine is becoming PTB’s primary 
focus  for  profitability  growth.  This  focus  on  the  small 
PT6A engine is enabling PTB to build up an ever increasing 
presence in the region through its engine management 
programs and tailored engineering offerings.

A  core  competency  for  PTB’s  business  is  the  sale  of 
engines, engine parts and airframe parts. This business 
will increase as PTB’s increased working capital will enable 
the Company to take advantage of opportunities as we 
market the Company’s engine maintenance programs to 
potential customers world-wide.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Asset utilisation and deployment   

of PTB’s turbine engine business.

IAP

IAP has not been able to generate significant recurring 
earnings  in  its  engine  and  airframe  business  but  its 
leased aircraft generate 29 per cent of its total margin 
as recurring earnings.

The 
Indonesian  operator  of  Emerald-leased  ATP’s 
is  providing  recurring  earnings  for  IAP’s  parts  sales 
business.

PT6A Engine Shop Capability 

The  Pratt  &  Whitney  PT6A  engine  continues 
in 
production  on  a  number  of  working  aircraft  types. 
The engine will continue to be the engine of choice for 
10  to  20  seat  aircraft  requiring  a  turbo  prop  engine. 
PTB’s  focus  has  been  to  continue  developing  its  PT6A 
repair and overhaul capability as this engine will be the 
backbone  for  future  profit  growth  in  the  PTB  engine 
business.

PTB now overhauls the complete PT6A engine and are 
building  the  support  and  capability  to  produce  engines 
to  meet  the  Company’s  engine  management  contract 
requirements.  This  enables  the  business  to  access  the 
profit  opportunities  forgone  in  the  past  when  engines 
were  subcontracted  offshore.  The  Group’s  increased 
working  capital  has  enabled  the  PT6A  business  to 
create a production line of engines based on cores that 
were previously traded to generate cash to meet bank 
repayment commitments.

In  addition  the  Business  has  been  able  to  retain  core 
engines for the tear down department to provide parts 
for the workshop and sales.

The PT6A workshop has been expanded with continued 
investment in tooling and equipment to build the PT6A 
section’s capabilities.

A PT6A test cell is required to complete the buildup of 
PT6A capability.

The  key  to  managing  future  profitability  is  to  ensure, 
as  capacity  increases,  the  workshop  remains  nimble 
and  responsive  to  customer  requirements;  this  is  our 
competitive  advantage  over  the  large  volume-driven 
engine shops.

The  Emerald  business  continues  to  have  under  utilised 
aviation assets. These include a small door ATP freighter, 
one  ATP  passenger  and  two  HS748  aircraft  which  are 
in  the  UK  under  care  and  maintenance  programs.  In 
addition, an ATP and HS748 are mothballed in the UK.

The  small  door  ATP  freighter  is  being  converted  to  a 
large  freight  door  for  lease  to  our  Indonesian  operator 
of  ATP’s.  In  addition  the  Indonesian  operator  has  a 
need  for  a  further  large  freight  door  ATP  freighter 
and  management  is  considering  the  various  options, 
including funding to meet this requirement.

IAP is currently repairing the Metro 23 which will become 
available for lease or sale in the new financial year.

Recurring Earnings 

PTB

PTB made a decision several years ago to build the PT6A 
and  TPE  331  engine  business  through  the  recurring 
earnings  generated  by  engine  management  contracts 
with operators.

This  has  reduced  reliance  on  the  traditional  engine 
business based on all engine shops quoting unrealistically 
low “come on” prices to secure the customer and then 
spending the next month or so talking the price up; thus 
creating a very dissatisfied customer. 

PTB  had  two  engine  management  contracts  in  the 
Maldives. Private equity investors acquired and merged 
the  two  companies  and  competitively  tendered  out 
the  PT6A  engine  management  contract  to  the  major 
international  players  in  the  PT6A  engine  business.  This 
was a major block of PT6A engines and the competition 
was  international  and  aggressive.  The  Company  won  a 
five  year  contract  with  the  new  combined  Maldivian 
operator.  Our  seamless  support  and  performance  over 
the last seven years were vital in securing this contract. 
This is a major endorsement of our engine management 
contract model. 

PTB Brisbane’s engine management contracts generate 
recurring  earnings  of  over  half  of  PTB’s  TPE331  and 
PT6 margin. The majority of contracts are for five years. 
Only  one  contract  was  not  renewed  as  the  customer 
transitioned to a new aircraft type. The level of recurring 
PT6A  workshop  margin  is  set  to  increase  significantly 
as  we  increase  the  number  of  overhauls  able  to  be 
performed by the shop.

PTB’s method of meeting its support requirements under 
the  engine  management  contracts  has  evolved  over  a 
number of years to become the “intellectual property”

for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Targeting a Natural Currency Hedge 

A  review  of  our  results  over  prior  years  will  give  a 
snapshot  of  how  operational  performance  has  been 
affected by USD/AUD currency movements. 

.

As the Group’s post GFC position with its financiers has 
improved  we  have  implemented  a  program  to  balance 
USD  receivables  with  USD-denominated  borrowings. 
This natural hedge has been of assistance in reducing the 
effect of the currency movements. 

With the Company’s continued improvement in working 
capital and the bank’s cooperation we expect to be in a 
position to further improve this balance.

expects  that  if  the  recent  decline  in  the  AUD/USD  exchange  rate  is  maintained  for  the  2014  year  it  will  have  a 
positive impact on the Group’s profit performance for this period.

With the early repayment of the Indonesian long term HP debtor, loan reductions and the movements in the level of 
USD creditors, the Company’s USD natural hedge balance has materially changed. Rebalancing of the Group’s loan 
book with the aim to restore a balanced natural hedge position will be a key focus for the 2014 year.

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

PTB Business Performance

The PTB Brisbane Business generated a profit before tax 
and unrealised foreign currency movements of $4.171 
million. This result is ahead of budget by $0.888 million. 
This continues the excellent results generated by PTB in 
the very competitive global turboprop engine market.

income  continued 

Engine  rental 
its  decline  and 
performed  significantly  below  budget.  Rental  income 
has now stabilised. Engine rental income has become a 
minor  part  of  the  PTB  business  as  a  result  of  the  lack 
of working capital as the Business paid down debt. The 
transition  to  engine  maintenance  contracts  has  also 
reduced the need for rental engines. There are however 
rental opportunities, some in the less favoured parts of 
the region. As PTB’s working capital position strengthens 
we  can  revisit  engine  rental  opportunities,  bearing  in 
mind that the capacity to fund engines offshore will be a 
limiting factor. However the Business can expect steady 
profitability growth in its rental engines division.

Engine sales margins were to budget and have stabilised. 
The Group’s results were historically very dependent on 
engine sales. Engine sales are by their nature subject to 
considerable  variation  which  made  it  difficult  to  build 
future strategies with consistent underlying earnings. 

Over time we have reduced the reliance on engine sales. 
In addition, engine management contracts have further 
reduced  the  opportunity  for  engine  sales  to  PTB’s 
established  client  base.  Engine  sales  however  remain  a 
significant  contributor  to  our  gross  margin  and  this  is 
expected to continue into the future. 

the global standard. This was a major undertaking in cost 
and  time  as  maintenance  manuals  and  procedures  had 
to  be  rewritten  and  new  safety  management  systems 
implemented. 

Parts sales did not perform to budget and fell just short 
of last year’s result. We continue to review how best to 
build  the  spare  parts  sales  to  non-engine  maintenance 
contract customers as parts sales to engine maintenance 
contract  customers  performed  well.  The  increased 
working capital will improve the capacity of this section 
to create opportunistic parts sales.

A  number  of  initiatives  are  in  play  which  will  promote 
strong future growth for the business:

PT6A engine repair and overhaul

The  Business  continues  to  build  this  capability.  As  the 
skill  levels  and  the  number  of  skilled  staff  build,  PTB 
can  invest  in  plant  and  processes  to  further  improve 
workshop capability. 

Working Capital opportunities

The  PTB  Business  is  a  parts  business  with  the  margin 
being  made  in  the  buy  side  of  a  transaction.  We  have 
appointed  a  business  development  manager  based 
in  Asia  to  comb  the  region  for  opportunistic  buying 
opportunities.  This  is  expected  to  generate  additional 
sales  margin  opportunities  for  PTB’s  parts,  engine 
sales and workshops. The increase in working capital is 
expected to create additional leased engine and engine 
sales opportunities.

Engine Management contracts 

The  Business  receives  extended  credit  terms  from 
several  vendors  which  is  an  additional  selling  tool  for 
engine sales. The engines being produced by the PT6A 
workshop will also create opportunities for engine sales.  

The PTB business continues to develop the scope of its 
engine  management  contracts  and  client  base.  These 
contracts are the backbone of the recurring income and 
cash flow for the Business.

EASA Approval  

The  Australian  regulator  CASA  advised  with  the  new 
Part  145  maintenance  approval  the  government  was 
working to establish reciprocal acceptance with various 
countries and EASA. If this should happen the Business 
might  not  need  EASA  approval.  However  government 
progress in this area has not been productive in the past. 
If  we  decide  EASA  certification  will  increase  business 
the  process  to  achieve  our  CASA  Part  145  (already 
undertaken) will tick most of the regulatory boxes. The 
final hurdle will be EASA’s costs to certify.

Opportunistic  sales  as  a  result  of  increased  working 
capital  increased  in  the  current  year.  This  will  continue 
as a small but valuable contributor to the Business into 
the future.  

The  workshop  margin  has  increased  15  per  cent 
compared  to  the  prior  year’s  result  and  comprises  54 
per cent of all sales margin. The workshop remains the 
key to extracting optimal profit from parts and engine 
management contracts. The building of the PT6A repair 
and  overhaul  capacity  will  continue  without  significant 
disruption to the workshop’s increasing profitability.

The  Business  achieved  CASA  Part  145  maintenance 
approval  in  May  for  its  TPE331  and  PT6A  engine 
business. This was an Australian government undertaking 
to  align  Australia’s  aviation  maintenance  approvals  and 
processes  with  EASA  (European  Air  Safety  Authority)

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Engine Test Cell

The test cell will be required as PT6A production ramps 
up as the cost to freight and test in the USA will shorten 
the  payback  period.  There  is  a  build  lead  time  of  12 
months with a forecast investment of $2 million. 

Trade Finance 

Several  of  the  Group’s  major  vendors  have  offered 
trade finance for engines purchased through them. We 
continue to investigate various options where this trade 
finance can be used to build the rental pool or provide 
credit.

IAP Business performance

The IAP Business profit before tax of $0.355 million was 
behind budget by $0.826 million but ahead of last year’s 
result by $0.603 million.

The  IAP  traditional  parts  business  and  one-off  trading 
activities model continues to be challenged with reduced 
enquiries  from  its  traditional  clients  as  a  result  of  the 
internet and reduced flying by the aircraft supported by 
IAP.

IAP has recognised the change in its traditional business 
and  continues  to  review  and  implement  changes  to 
improve profitability.

The  Parts  Sales  Business  margin  was  ahead  of  budget 
until February and ahead of last year’s result. In the four 
months to the end of June it fell behind by $0.520 million 
and behind last year’s result by 13 per cent. The result 
to  February  provides  comfort  that  focus  is  the  key  as 
management input from PTB had reduced from January. 

To  continue  building  parts  sales  focus  the  Parts  Sales 
Business was split into:

Each  section  is  responsible  for  its  margin  and  costs.  A 
sales manager is to be recruited to develop the airframe 
business.

IAP’s  2014  Parts  Sales  Business’s  forecast  margin  is 
expected to increase over 2013 actuals with the part-
out  of  the  three  F100’s  expected  to  underpin  and 
provide a future product line.

The  leased  aircraft  in  the  IAP  portfolio  contributed  29 
per cent of the sales margin and a 42 per cent increase 
over prior year’s as aircraft available for lease have been 
leased.  One  Metro  23  will  be  available  for  lease  when 
repaired. The lessee’s become Parts Sales customers for 
IAP  and  engine  repair  and  overhaul  work  for  Brisbane. 
IAP has an additional J32 available for refurbishment but 
does not plan to invest cash in the refurbishment until it 
has a customer.

One-off  trading  and  special  projects  continue  as  a 
valuable  contributor  to  margin  but  at  a  reduced  level. 
IAP is expected to increase its profitability with minimal 
reliance on special projects.

The  focus  continues  on  increasing  the  rate  at  which 
inventory is turned into cash.  In this regard, cash flow 
generated by the combined IAP and Emerald Businesses 
(set  out  in  Section  7  below)  was  quite  strong  as 
summarised below:

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Emerald Assets

The  Emerald  2013  result  (excluding  realised  and 
unrealised 
abnormal 
transactions)  was  a  profit  of  $0.191  million  (2012: 
breakeven).

currency  movements 

and 

The Business’s Indonesian customer paid USD 3 million 
to  repay  its  finance  liability  on  one  ATP  freighter  and 
the  Group  paid  down  debt  with  the  proceeds.    A  loss 
of  $1.859  million  was  incurred.  At  the  same  time  it 
committed to finance a further Large Freight Door ATP.  
Following this transaction, the Emerald Business will have 
reduced  rental  income  until  the  third  ATP  commences 
flying later in the year.

Emerald also sold an HS 748 on an HP lease to another 
operator  in  Bangladesh.  This  produced  a  loss  of  USD 
225,000  and  cash  of  USD  375,000  on  a  payment 
plan.  The  aircraft  required  significant  engineering  work 
some of which would have been at Emerald’s cost. The 
Bangladeshi operators have been challenging customers 
and  it  made  commercial  sense  to  focus  on  profitable 
opportunities.  This  operator  will  be  a  future  customer 
for aircraft parts and engines.

As  indicated  in  the  IAP  Business  performance  section 
above,  cash  flow  generated  by  the  combined  IAP  and 
Emerald  Businesses  (set  out  in  Section  7  below)  was 
quite strong.

Corporate Overheads 

The  Group’s  corporate  overheads  were  $1.275  million 
(2012:  $1.443  million)  which  was  11  per  cent  higher 
than  budget.  Employment  costs  represent  53  per 
cent  (2012:  63  per  cent)  of  overheads  with  2013 
expenditure  of  $0.687  million  compared  to  $0.910 
million for 2012. 

Bad and Doubtful Debts

The  Group  recognised  $0.328  million

in  Bangladesh  and 

In 2014 the PTB Business plans to source loan funding 
to support financing of engines to offshore customers.

The  preparation  of  the  third  Large  Freight  Door  ATP 
for  the  Indonesian  operator  is  well  underway  and  the 
aircraft  is  expected  to  be  available  early  in  the  2014 
calendar  year.  The  Group’s  Bankers  provided  the  funds 
to meet a significant part of the cost required to bring 
this aircraft on line. 

Emerald’s  cash  flow  is  sufficient  to  meet  its  financier’s 
repayment  obligations  without  drawing  on  IAP  or  PTB 
for other than short term bridging finance. The third ATP 
will come on line in the second half of the 2014 financial 
year and will further improve Emerald’s operating result 
and cash flow position.

The  conversion  of  the  fourth  ATP  (from  passenger 
to  freighter  plus  a  large  freight  door  installation)  will 
incur  significant  extra  costs.  Various  options  are  being 
investigated.  In addition, we do not have the engineering 
slots  available  to  commence  conversion  until  the  third 
aircraft is delivered.  

The  Emerald  Business  incurs  significant  cash  costs  for 
insurance, care and maintenance, aircraft storage costs 
and non-cash depreciation. A review is being carried out 
to investigate how we minimise these costs.

Emerald continues to make slow but steady progress in 
building into an ongoing profitable business. 

6. 

Statement of Financial Position and Net 
Assets

The  net  asset  position  as  at  30  June  2013  has  been 
maintained at $44.6 million.

Cashflows

The Group’s improving operating performance for 2013 is reflected in the cashflow result. Operating cashflow was 
$6.5 million, which is $1.1 million higher than the previous year. 

The following table outlines the source and application of cash by business groupings PTB & IAP/Emerald:

¹ Asset Sales Proceeds includes i) the payout by the long term Indonesian Finance debtor of $2.850 million, (ii) $0.330 million from 
the payout of a Bangladeshi LT HP debtor for a HS 748 under finance lease (Both these items are categorised as “cash receipts from 
customers” in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) combined with (iii) $0.040 million of other asset proceeds. 

“Proceeds on disposal of property, plant and equipment” as per the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows comprises $2.080 million 
for two Emerald ATP  Engines being used on the Indonesian customer’s ATPs (settled through the customer’s prepaid maintenance 
reserve account) combined with $0.040 million of other asset proceeds.

²  Capital  Expenditure  in  this  table  excludes  $1.780  million  of  ATP  engine  cores  removed  from  the  Indonesian  Customer’s  ATPs 
which were capitalised in Emerald’s accounts (settled through the customer’s prepaid maintenance reserve account). This amount 
combined  with  the  $1.480  million  in  the  above  cash  flow  table  is  reflected  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  item 

“Payments for property plant & Equipment”.

As per the above table the Group has generated $8.230 
million in cash from Asset Sales and Operations including 
the early payout by Indonesia Lessor of the ATP Finance 
Lease and the sale of the Bangladesh based HS748 to a 
Bangladeshi operator. 

The Group has used this cash to pay down related party 
loans and CBA loans totaling $4.100 million. It has also 
expended $1.480 million on capital investments. 

IAP/Emerald’s  capital  expenditure  mainly  relates  to 
the conversion of a passenger ATP into a large  freight 

door  freighter  for  our  Indonesian  customer  (a  lease 
agreement  for  this  aircraft  was  executed  in  February 
2013).  This  ATP  is  expected  to  be  operating  early  in 
2014.

PTB has been investing in expanding facilities and tooling 
at its Brisbane site which will support continued growth 
in the PTB engine business.

8.  Management

In  July  2013  PTB  Brisbane  appointed  Carl  Jepson  as 
General Manager.  Carl has an MBA and extensive aviation 
experience.  He  moved  to  PTB  from  a  New  Zealand 
aviation company where he was general manager. Prior 
to this, his experience included engineering management 
and sales management in aviation related businesses.

The Group continues to build on developing or recruiting 
staff  with  management  skills  to  maintain  and  build 
growth without losing its entrepreneurial flair.

PTB Group’s Outlook

Progress has been slow but steady as we have worked 
through  the  cash  and  operational  constraints  created 
by the events of the last five years. This year there has 
been a noticeable increase in PTB initiatives as working 
capital increased. 

The  Group  is  confident  progress  will  continue  and  the 
focus  continues  on  building  a  strong  foundation  for 
improved operational performance and profitability.

The weakening of the AUD will assist profitability. 

Harvey Parker
Chairman 

For the next 12 months the Group will be concentrating 
on:

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. 

The Company performed:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

Specialist  turbine  engine  repair  and  overhaul 
based at Brisbane, Australia;

Trading operations in Australia and internationally 
in aircraft turbine engines and related parts; and

The Company listed on the Stock Exchange of Newcastle 
Ltd (NSX) in March 2005.  In September 2006 it acquired 
IAP Group for $13.8 million.  IAP Group is a Sydney based 
niche  aviation  asset  management  company  providing 
aircraft inventory support, encompassing:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

Global supply of aviation parts; and

Global aircraft and engine financing and sales.

Its  business  operations  were  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 21 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.

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 totaling $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 
2012  as  the  Company  dealt  with  the  global  financial 
crisis and its aftermath is set out below:

FY 2008:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

Global financial crisis;

(cid:3)(cid:81) Decision made to sell aircraft rather than use the 

rental fund; and

(cid:3)(cid:81) Delay in settlement by a Middle Eastern customer 
on two of the LFD ATP aircraft impacted on the 
interest and holding costs of the Emerald project.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Franking Credits

likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Franking credits available for subsequent financial years 
based on a tax rate of 30 per cent are $11.020 million 
(2012: $11.724 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  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.

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.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Principles used to determine the nature 

A. 
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  of  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.

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, 
recommending 
remuneration  policies,  overseeing 
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. 

in  the  form  of  cash  bonuses  for 
Compensation 
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 to 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:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

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:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

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.  

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

incentives: 

  Cash  bonus 
Short-term  performance 
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  per  cent  of 
base pay.

As  advised  in  the  following  “Section  B.  Details  of 
Remuneration”,  no  short  term  incentives  were  paid  to 
Executive Directors during the financial year (2012: Nil).

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

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 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).

As  advised  in  the  following  “Section  D  Share-Based 
Payment Compensation” no options were issued under 
the scheme during the year (2012: Nil).

Company  Performance,  Shareholder  Wealth  and 
Directors’ and Executive Remuneration

The base salaries for the executives are substantially in 
accordance  with  the  market  for  executives  of  similar 
levels.

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

Rounding of Amounts

No  person  has  applied  to  the  Court  under  section 
237  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  for  leave  to  bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene 
in  any  proceedings  to  which  the  Company  is  a  party, 
for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the 
Company for all or part of those proceedings.

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

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on 
behalf  of  the  Company  with  leave  of  the  Court  under 
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

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, if any, during the year is compatible with the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed 
by the Corporations Act 2001.  

During  the  year  no  non-audit  service  fees  were  paid 
or  payable  for  services  provided  by  the  auditor  of  the 
company (2012: Nil).

The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on 
page 22 and forms part of the Directors’ Report for the 
year ended 30 June 2013.

Williams Hall Chadwick continues in office in accordance 
with Section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001.

the  Company  or  another  Group  member,  or  an 
employee materially associated with the service 
provided,  except  in  circumstances  where  the 
advisor  might  be  considered  to  be  independent 
notwithstanding  their  position  as  a  professional

insignificant component of its overall revenue;

the Company; and

g)  has not served on the Board for a period which 
could,  or  could  reasonably  be  perceived  to,

Director in the light of the interests disclosed by them. 
The independence of Directors is disclosed in the annual 
report.  Where  the  independence  of  a  Director  is  lost,

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Best practice commitment

Charter

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:

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.

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  with  2010  amendments 
–  second  edition’  (‘Guidelines’)  applying  to 
listed 
entities  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.

Code of ethics and values

Recommendation 1.2

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  Securities 
Trading  Policy  (lodged  with  the  ASX)  to  regulate 
dealings in securities by Directors, senior management, 
employees  and  their  associates.  This  is  designed  to 
ensure  fair  and  transparent  trading  in  accordance  with 
both the law and best practice.

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.

for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to add value

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. As at 
the date of this report the board has not implemented 
a formal policy of performance evaluation of the Board, 
committees and Directors. Given the size and complexity 
of the business such evaluation has to date taken place 
informally however the board has undertaken to consider 
implementation of a more formalised policy during the 
year ending 30 June 2014.

Recommendation 2.1

Of  the  four  Company  Directors,  Harvey  Parker  and 
Andrew Kemp are independent 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 (50 per cent independent).

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

(cid:3)(cid:81)

The  Chairman  is  an  independent  non-executive 
Director;

(cid:3)(cid:81) Directors  are  entitled  to  seek 

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

(cid:3)(cid:81) 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.

(cid:3)(cid:81)

The size and complexity of the business does not warrant 
additional Directors at the present time.

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.

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

The Board is of the view that it supports a culture where 
recruitment and promotion are based on merit and that 
workforce  flexibility  is  supported.  However,  given  the 
size of the Company and of the Board, it is considered 
that setting diversity targets and measurement systems 
are not appropriate and hence PTB Group does not fully 
comply with this guideline.

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 are 
detailed on page 25 under Audit and Risk Management 
Committee.

While  recommendation  4.2  requires  all  members  to 
be  non-executive  directors,  the  chairman  of  the  ARM 
Committee is not a director of the company but has been 
appointed because of his specialist expertise in financial 
reporting, governance and audit related matters and for 
his independence.

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 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:  

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

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, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5

Guidelines  for  promoting  diversity:  The  Board  aims 
to  create  a  corporate  culture  that  embraces  diversity 
by  applying  transparent  merit  based  principles  to 
recruitment, training and promotion opportunities. 

It supports employment flexibility and employee career 
development and recognises the importance of creating 
an environment that is conducive to the appointment of 
suitably  qualified  employees,  management  and  Board 
candidates  who  will  maximise  the  achievement  of  the 
corporate goals.

recommendations 

Best  practice 
issued  by  ASX 
recommend  a  separate  disclosure  in  the  annual  report 
of measurable objectives for measuring gender diversity 
and  the  proportion  of  women  employees  in  the  whole 
organisation, in senior positions and on the Board.

Principle 5 – Make timely and balanced disclosure

Recommendation 5.1 and 5.2

matters  are  notified  to  the  ASX  in  accordance  with 
the  Company’s  Listing  Rule  disclosure  requirements. 
The  Managing  Director  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  are 
responsible  for  monitoring  the  Company’s  activities  in

of  the  Board.    Each  Director  is  required  at  every  such 
meeting  to  confirm  details  of  any  matter  within  their 
knowledge that might require disclosure to the market.

regularly  and  clearly,  both  by  electronic  means  and 
using  more

risk  management  and  control 
framework.  The 
ARM  Committee  assists  the  Board  in  fulfilling  its 
responsibilities  in  this  regard  by  reviewing  the  financial

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Principle 8 - Remunerate fairly and responsibly

Recommendations 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4

As  detailed  above,  the  Company  has  a  Remuneration 
committee  to  assist  the  Board  and  report  to  it  on 
issues  relevant  to  remuneration 
remuneration  and 
policies  and  practices 
including  those  for  senior 
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 8.2 of the ASX Corporate 
Governance Guidelines as it has less than three members.  
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.  

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. 

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

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013

1. 

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted 
in  the 
preparation  of  the  financial  report  are  set  out  below. 
These policies have been consistently applied to all the 
years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial 
report includes the financial statements for PTB Group 
Limited  as  the  consolidated  entity  consisting  of  PTB 
Group Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a)  Basis of preparation 

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)).

This general purpose financial report has been prepared 
in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards, 
other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  Board,  Australian  Accounting 
Interpretations  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.    This 
Report  was  authorised  by  the  Board  of  Directors  for 
issue on 23 August 2013. 

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.

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 profit or loss and other 
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(ac).

(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 
2013 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 28. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group 
has  the  power  to  control  the  financial  and  operating 

(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  (‘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  profit  or  loss  and  other  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.

Accounting Policies (continued)

(d)(ii)  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 profit or loss and other 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:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  statement  of 
financial  position  presented  are  translated  at 
the closing rate at the date of that statement of 
financial position;
Income  and  expenses  for  each  statement  of 
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income 
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 
comprehensive income.  When a foreign operation 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  profit 
or loss and other 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:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when 
persuasive  evidence  exists  that  the  significant 
risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have 
passed  to  the  buyer,  the  consideration  can  be 
measured  reliably  and  collectability  is  probable. 
Risks  and  rewards  are  considered  passed  to  the 
buyer  at  time  of  delivery  to  customer  or  where 
an  executed  sales  agreement,  or  an  arrangement 
exists, indicating there has been a transfer of the 
risks and rewards to the customer, the goods are 
complete and available to be despatched;
Revenue from repairs is recognised at the time the 
service is performed;
Revenue  from  sale  of  goods  and  provision  of 
services under maintenance contracts is 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)  is  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); and
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.

(f)  Unearned revenue

Unearned revenue includes amounts received in advance 
from customers.  Such amounts are recorded as revenue 
in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  comprehensive 
income when the above revenue recognition criteria are 
met.

for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies (continued) 

(g) 

Income tax

The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on 
the current year’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.

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

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there 
is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets 
and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate 
to the same taxation authority.  Current tax assets and 
tax  liabilities  are  offset  where  the  entity  has  a  legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends 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 
tax 
controlled  entities  have 

implemented 

the 

consolidation 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 standalone 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

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.

As lessor

Amounts  due  from  lessees  under  finance  leases  are 
recorded  as  receivables.    Finance  lease  receivables  are 
initially recognised at amounts equal to the net investment 
in  the  lease.    Finance  lease  payments  receivable  are 
allocated  between  interest  revenue  and  reduction  of 
the lease receivable over the term of the lease in order 
to  reflect  a  constant  periodic  rate  of  return  on  the  net 
investment outstanding in respect of the lease.

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(p).  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  statement  of  financial 
position  as  a  finance  lease  obligation,  net  of  finance 
charges.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (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(t).

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

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.

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).

(i)  Business combinations

(k)  Cash and cash equivalents

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.   

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  statement  of 
financial position.

(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 statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income.  Cashflows relating to 
short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of 
discounting is immaterial.

income.  When  the  Directors  are  of  the  view  that 
collection is no longer possible and the recovery action 
has  ceased  the  amount  in  the  allowance  account  is 
offset against the loan or receivable.

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods

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 reporting 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 reporting 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(p).

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

loans  and 

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following 
categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income, 
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 
statement  of 
financial  position,  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  date  which  are 
classified as non-current assets.  Loans and receivables 
are  included  in  trade  and  other  receivables  in  the 
statement of financial position.

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. Losses are recognised in the 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income and reflected in an allowance account. When an 
event  occurring  after  the  impairment  was  recognised 
causes the amount of the impairment loss to decrease 
the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through the 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

1. 

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

(p)  Property, plant and equipment

Property,  plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical 
cost  less  accumulated  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 profit or loss and other 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 as a loss, 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  profit  or  loss  and 
other comprehensive income in which the depreciation 
and  amortisation  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is 
included is ‘depreciation and amortisation’.

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by 
comparing  proceeds  with  carrying  amount.    These  are 
included  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
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.

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 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)).

for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

Summary of Significant  

1. 
Accounting Policies (continued) 

(q) 

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 26).

Computer software

incurred 

in  acquiring  software  and 

licenses 
Costs 
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.    The  line  item  in  the  statement 
of  comprehensive  income  in  which  the  amortisation 
of  computer  software  is  included  is  ‘depreciation  and 
amortisation’ expense.

(r)  Trade and other payables

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

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.

(s)  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 of profit or loss 
and other 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.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial 
position  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  consideration  paid,  including  any  non-cash 
assets 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 date.

(t)  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.

(u)  Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

including  non-
Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries, 
monetary  benefits,  annual 
leave  and  accumulating 
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.

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.  

Share-based payments

Share  based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to 
employees  via  the  PTB  Group  Limited  Employee  Share 
Option Scheme as detailed in note 22.

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.

Profit sharing and bonus plans

The  Group  recognises  a  provision  where  contractually 
obliged  or  where  there  is  a  past  practice  that  has 
created  a  constructive  obligation.  Bonus  payments  are 
discretionary and subject to Board approval.

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.  

(w)  Contributed equity

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.  

(x)  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.

(y)  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.

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.

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

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81) Where  the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not

asset or as part of an item of expense; 
For

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis  and 
the  GST  components  of  cash  flows  arising 
from  investing  or  financing  activities  which  are 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to  the  taxation 
authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(aa)  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.

(ab)  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 4008

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

impairment 

The  Group  tests  six  monthly  whether  goodwill  has 
in  accordance  with  the 
suffered  any 
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  11  for 
details of these assumptions and the potential impact of 
changes to the assumptions. 

Long Service Leave (LSL)

The  Group  estimates  the  pattern  of  LSL  taken  based 
on  history  and  utilises  management’s  judgement  in 
determining  the  cash  flow  estimates  of  payments  of 
LSL. These estimates are then utilised to determine the 
NPV of these expected LSL payments and the adequacy 
of the provision.

Hire Purchase  Receivables

judgement 

Management  applies 
in  assessing  the 
recoverability  of  its  hire  purchase  receivables  The 
Group assesses both the current payment performance 
and  operational  knowledge  of  the  debtor’s  business 
operation  as  the  Group  is  in  regular  contact  with  the 
debtor  as  it  is  responsible  for  undertaking  scheduled 
engine maintenance and is a supplier of spare parts for 
the aircraft under lease to the LT HP debtors maintenance 
department.

Trade receivables

Impaired trade receivables

Unimpaired receivables

Past due but not impaired

As at 30 June 2013, 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 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

Provision for impairment recognised during the year

Receivables written off during the year as uncollectable

At 30 June 

Maintenance contract receivables

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:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

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 IAP 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 12.6% (2012: 12.1%).  An average growth rate of 4% 
(2012: 3%) has been used.  Management determined budgeted net profit based on past performance and Directors’ 
best estimates of profit estimates over a five year period.  The discount rate reflects Directors’ best estimates of 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.

Provision is made for the estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at 
the end of the reporting period. Historically there have been no material warranty claims and this is not expected to 
change in the future.

(b) Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months

The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave, vesting sick leave and long service leave. 
For long service leave it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period 
of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire 
amount  of  the  provision  2013:  $766,000  (2012:  $719,000)  is  presented  as  current,  since  the  group  does  not 
have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the 
group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 
12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not to be expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 
months. Leave obligations expected to be settled after 12 months 2013: $350k (2012: $300k)

Options

As  at  balance  date  there  are  no  outstanding  options  to  purchase  ordinary  shares  in  the  parent  entity.  All  options 
previously outstanding expired without being exercised in the year ended 30 June 2011.

An employee share option scheme was approved by shareholders on 3 June 2005.  Refer to note 23 for details.

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.

22.  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.

There were no options granted or exercised during the financial year and no options were outstanding at the current 
or prior financial year end.

25.  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 transaction 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.

Where  derivatives  are  used  they  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:

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

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

(a)  Market risk (continued)

Group sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2013, 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 $335,000 higher/$192,000 lower (2012: $236,000 higher/$289,000 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 $335,000 higher/$192,000 lower (2012: $236,000 higher/$289,000 lower) had the 
Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar due to the reasons noted above.  The Group’s 
natural hedge position at year end is unfavorable in a climate of declining exchange rates as the foreign currency 
liability exposure is higher than the foreign currency denominated assets. This imbalance has recently occurred due to 
the payout of two USD denominated long term HP Debtors combined with an increase in USD creditors associated 
with engine acquisitions as at year end. The Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

As the company undertakes the majority of its sales and purchases in US dollars most profit is generated in US dollars 
with the AUD reported profit positively impacted by any weakening of the Australian dollar.

(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. 

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 in the following table:

There are no other interest bearing financial assets and liabilities.

Group sensitivity

As the majority of the interest rates are fixed, at 30 June 2013 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 (2012: immaterial).

Net Fair Values

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group does not normally use derivative financial instruments except as noted above.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2013 (Continued)

25.  Financial Risk Management and Other Financial Instrument Disclosures (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.

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:

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

(cid:3)(cid:81)

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 2013 the largest 10 debtors 
comprised approximately   71% (2012: 77%) of total receivables.  It should be noted that the largest debtor 
is an extended credit receivable to a customer in Indonesia which accounts for 44% (2012: 56%) 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.  Other trade receivables comprise   29% (2012: 33%) 
of total receivables; and

(cid:3)(cid:81)

The receivables are concentrated in six main geographical areas.  Refer to note 26 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.

average interest rate of 7.39% (2012: 7.78%). For each drawing of a bill, a rate is quoted by the bank at the time of 
draw down.  The bills have terms between one and two years from drawdown date. All bills will mature within 15 to 
16 months from the year end.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The previous tables analyse the Group’s financial liabilities, net and gross settled derivative financial instruments into 
relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date.

Geographical Segments (Secondary Reporting)

The Group’s management and operations are based in Brisbane and Sydney, Australia.  Its customers, however, are 
located in six main geographical markets – Australia/PNG/New Zealand, Pacific Islands, America, Asia, Africa, and 
Europe.

Segment assets include rental engines and aircraft which are attributed either to the geographic market in which the 
customer who rents the engine or aircraft at year-end is based or, for non-rented engines and aircraft, where they 
are physically located. 

The  following  tables  outline  the  distribution  of  the  Group’s  sales,  adjusted  EBITDA,  assets  and  liabilities  by  those 
geographical markets by business segment.

26.  Segment Information (continued)

Other segment information

(i) Segment revenue

Sales  between  segments  are  carried  out  at  cost  and  are  eliminated  on  consolidation.  The  revenue  from  external 
parties reported to the Board is measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement.

Revenues  from  external  customers  of  PTB  are  derived  from  repairing,  selling,  leasing  and  maintaining  PT6  and 
TPE331 turbo prop aircraft engines under contract and trading in related engine and airframe parts. For IAP revenue 
is derived from trading in aircraft, jet aircraft engines, airframes and related parts as well as leasing aircraft under 
operating and finance leases. Emerald’s revenue is interest income from finance leases and revenue from operating 
leases and sale of aircraft.

A breakdown of revenue and results is provided in the preceding tables.

The Group is domiciled in Australia. The amount of its revenue from external customers in Australia is $9.025 million 
(2012: $10.220 million) and the total revenue from external customers in other countries is $18.679 million (2012: 
$22.055 million). Segment revenues are allocated based on the country in which the customer is located.

(ii) Adjusted EBITDA

The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted EBITDA. 

This measurement basis excludes the effects of non recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as, 
unrealised  gains  /  (losses)  on  foreign  currency  movement  and  goodwill  impairment.  Interest  income  and  interest 
income on long term HP receivables is allocated to segments whereas finance costs and depreciation and amortisation 
expenses are not allocated to segments.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to operating profit before income tax is provided as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA

Unrealised gain/(loss) on foreign Currency

Goodwill impairment

Impairment of other assets

Depreciation and amortisation

Finance Costs

Profit before income tax from continuing operations

Independent Auditor’s Report
for the year ended 30 June 2013

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the members of PTB Group Limited 

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial report of PTB Group Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement 
of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2013,  the  consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  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 gives a true and fair view 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control 
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material 
misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  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 (IFRS).

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 
report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor 
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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.
