Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2014

1. 

Results

Net loss after tax for the Group is $11.137 million in 2014 compared to a profit of $0.368 million in 2013.  Loss per 
share is 30.44 cents (2013: profit per share of 1.14 cents).  Net tangible assets per share have reduced to $0.80 
(2013: $1.10). The difference in comparative results is mainly due to the write-down of a group of assets in IAP and 
Emerald as announced on 4 November 2013. Refer commentary below under the heading Write-down of Assets.

The 2014 net profit before tax result (excluding non-cash asset write-downs) is $3.251 million, which is ahead of 
the $2.444 million achieved by the Group in 2013.

No dividends were paid in the year ended 30 June 2014 (2013: 5.1cents).

The  above  table  shows  the  operational  progress 
continuing to be made across the Group. 

The  returns  for  the  Emerald  Assets  business  have 
improved substantially due to a reduction in idle aircraft. 
During the year, four aircraft were sold, one was broken 
into parts and one was placed on a five year lease. This 
leaves just one ATP aircraft idle in England and one ATP 
being prepared for lease.

The IAP Business has also improved mainly due to greater 
returns from engine sales. Engine sales will continue to 
be a focus for the business in 2015. 

The PTB Business had another solid year with improved 
returns  from  the  workshop  and  parts  sales,  being 
offset by reduced engine sales. Returns are expected to 
increase across all of these areas in 2015.

The  write-down  of  assets  was  discussed  in  the  half 
yearly  result  and  is  shown  separately  in  the  results  to 
highlight  the  robust  position  of  the  core  business.  The 
write-down  was  a  result  of  the  decision  to  focus  on 
extracting value from idle aircraft and engine assets in 
the  short-term  rather  than  trying  to  extract  greater 
value over a longer period.

Write-down of Assets

On 4 November 2013, PTB Group Ltd announced to the 
market that it would be carrying out a rationalisation of 
its operations.  This rationalisation included:

■■

■■

Rationalise/close the Emerald business; and

Continue the simplification of the IAP business.

This  significant  change  in  direction  for  the  business 
drove a change in the valuation assumptions for a range 
of Group assets, leading to significant write-downs. As 
stated above, the main aim of the rationalisation was to 
extract value from idle aircraft and engine assets in the 
short-term rather than trying to extract greater returns 
over the longer term.  Linked to this is a reduction in the 
holding costs of those assets and a simplification of the 
businesses.

In conjunction with this, the business had also become 
aware of external factors that necessitated a review of 
the realisable value of a further group of assets held by 
the Group. The main issue related to the future support 
arrangements for Rolls Royce Dart engines. 

The net result was a $19.789 million write-down in the 
value of Group assets.  This write-down was made up of:

■■

■■

■■

Aircraft  and  engine  asset  impairments  $9.289 
million;

Aircraft and engine parts inventory write-downs 
$7.216 million;

Provision  for  write-down  of  extended  credit 
receivables $3.284 million.

The  issues  created  by  the  Global  Financial  Crisis  (GFC) 
have required significant senior management focus, and 
costs  to  manage,  and  we  are  confident  any  remaining 
issues are minor. 

To  commence  growing  shareholder  value,  the  business 
focus is as follows: 

■■ Managing  cash  flow  to  pay  down  debt,  build 
working capital and provide cash to pay dividends;

■■

■■

■■

PTB (Brisbane) business – recurring earnings and 
cash generation ;

IAP  business  – 
generation;

improved  returns  and  cash 

Emerald business – cash generation, pay down of 
debt and asset utilisation.

Managing cash flow to pay down debt, build 
working capital and provide cash to pay 
dividends

The Group has paid down $1.574 million of debt in the 
2014 financial year (2013: $4.1 million). The Group will 
continue to pay down debt to reduce its exposure.

PTB’s  working  capital  position  continues  to  strengthen 
and has enabled the ramp up of PT6 production with an 
increase  in  WIP  and  overhauled  engines  in  stock.  This 
provides opportunities for additional sales outside of the 
engine  management  programs  with  higher  returns  and 
favourable cash flow outcomes.

Emerald has an aggressive loan repayment program with 
improved  asset  utilisation  and  reduced  ongoing  costs 
generating the cash to repay loans in under 4 years.

The Company is now in a position to focus on generating 
cash to pay regular cash dividends into the future. The 
Company  has  $11.020  million  of  franking  credits  and 
is reviewing how best to utilise franking credits for the 
benefit of shareholders. 

PTB (Brisbane) business 

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  the  business  to  maintain 
profitability in line with the declining operator base.

The  small  PT6A  engine  is  the  cornerstone  of  the  PTB 
engine business and will remain so into the future. Over 
time we expect to become a major player in this global 
market.  Our  PT6A  engine  overhaul  shop  is  geared  to 
produce engines for our contract customers and as our 
contract customer base grows the shop is not expected 
to  meet  all  of  this  demand.  The  key  to  success  in  the 
PT6A small engine business is to have small highly skilled 
shops with minimal overheads. 

The  PT6A  contribution  has  grown  at  an  average  of 
$1m per year for the last two years. The bigger Pratt & 
Whitney approved shops have difficulty making a return 
in the small PT6A space as there is insufficient margin to 
cover their overhead costs and this continues to provide 
opportunities for the smaller shops.

Our focus on the PT6A small engine means we continue 
to  build  knowledge  in  repairs  and  procurement  that 
enables the business to reduce the cost of rebuilding and 
maintaining the engine.

years  and  will  continue  a  structured  sell  down  of  its 
assets, while maintaining an appropriate level of stock to 
support lease customers.

Rental  returns  were  impacted  by  the  bankruptcy  of  a 
key  leasing  customer.  A  new  lease  customer  has  been 
identified  and  deployment  of  these  aircraft  is  planned 
early  in  the  2015  financial  year.  Overall,  rental  assets, 
mainly  BAe  Jetstreams  and  Fairchild  Metro  aircraft, 
have  not  performed  as  well  as  hoped  in  the  past  year. 
The  market  is  changing  and  management  is  looking  at 
strategies  to  manage  these  changes.  One  option  that 
is  being  investigated  is  the  sale  of  aircraft  to  current 
customers.

Emerald Business

The  2014  year  saw  significant  rationalisation  of 
Emerald’s  aircraft  portfolio.    As  reported  in  the  2014 
Half Year results, a significant write-down of the Emerald 
assets  occurred.  This  enabled  the  Company  to  reduce 
costs  and  focus  its  efforts  on  the  profitable  elements 
of this portfolio.

One ATP was sold during 2014 and another purchased. 
The  idle  HS748’s  in  the  portfolio,  which  had  become 
difficult to sell or lease due to the loss of support from 
the engine manufacturer, have all been sold or written-
off.

Emerald now only has one idle aircraft, an ATP in England, 
and  depending  upon  commercial  opportunities  within 
2015;  this  will  either  be  reduced  to  spares  to  support 
the  remaining  fleet,  or  converted  to  a  freighter  and 
placed out on lease. By the end of 2015, Emerald should 
have a fully operational portfolio of ATP aircraft. 

Our  Indonesian  customer  owns  an  ATP  freighter  for 
which  we  provide  contract  engine  and  component 
maintenance  in  conjunction  with  the  service  provided 
for the leased ATP’s. We have a long-term relationship 
with  this  customer,  which  IAP’s  management  has  built 
over time. 

Emerald  will  continue  to  make  a  significant  EBITDA 
contribution and is focused on paying down debt.

With the established production plan that our contract 
customers provide, the business can extract maximum 
value  from  any  opportunist  bulk  parts  buy  or  engine 
opportunities  that  may  arise.  There  continues  to  be 
excellent  growth  opportunities  for  the  PT6A  Brisbane 
shop  and  we  continue  to  invest  in  plant,  people  and 
processes that improve efficiencies and profitability.

In  addition  to  this,  the  Group  is  investigating  the 
viability of purchasing an offshore PT6A engine overhaul 
business,  preferably  in  the  USA.  This  will  allow  the 
business  to  access  profits  from  the  significant  level  of 
work  we  subcontract  offshore,  the  overflow  from  the 
workshop and to grow our engine contract business in 
new markets. This would produce a further advantage, 
in that the PTB business would not need to invest in a 
test cell or EASA and FAA approvals.

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

The  business  model  has  been  built  around  managing 
the  life  cycle  of  our  customers’  engines  and  providing 
shared benefits across the life of those engines. These 
programs  could  be  expanded  if  the  Company  had  the 
ability  to  finance  and  lease  aircraft  powered  by  small 
PT6A engines. This would enable PTB Brisbane to access 
the profit opportunities in the engine and airframe parts, 
as well as a net return from financing. The key is low cost 
finance and we continue to investigate possible funding 
opportunities. 

IAP Business

IAP  continues  to  improve  the  core  trading  activities 
with a view to generating acceptable returns without a 
reliance on one-off trading opportunities. 

The  newly  formed  engine  division  has  performed  well 
this year and should show a continued improvement in 
2015.  The  division  has  mainly  focused  on  Rolls  Royce 
engines  and  will  continue  to  do  so  in  the  coming  year. 
With  Rolls  Royce  discontinuing  its  Dart  support,  IAP 
expects  a  short-term  uplift  as  Dart  powered  aircraft 
operators decide on whether it is economically viable to 
repair or overhaul. The knowledge in the engine division 
enables them to work across a number of turbine engine 
types and this knowledge will be valuable in evaluating 
future engine and product line opportunities.

The  Airframe  division  has  focused  on  Fokker  and 
British  Aerospace  airframes.  It  also  has  a  major  role  in 
supporting the lease customers of Emerald and IAP. The 
airframe  segment  is  not  expected  to  grow  in  future

PTB Business Performance

IAP Business performance

The  PTB  Business  generated  an  operational  profit  of 
$3.339  million.  While  this  result  was  lower  than  the 
2013  result  and  behind  budget  by  $0.255  million,  it 
is underwritten by improved results in the strategically 
important  Workshops  and  Contract  Parts  Sales  areas.  
Reduced returns from engine sales was the main cause 
of the below budget result for the year.

The  business  has  focused  its  efforts  during  the  year 
on  building  up  its  PT6  Workshop  capacity.  This  allows 
it  to  supply  a  greater  proportion  of  the  engines  and 
related  services  required  to  satisfy  the  demand  of  the 
contracted  customers  directly.  This  has  included  an 
investment in facilities as well as a significant increase in 
stock levels. This will also provide additional engine sales 
opportunities  into  the  future  as  a  stock  of  overhauled 
engines is made available.

Contract  Parts  Sales  have  also  increased  due  to  the 
addition  of  new  customers  on  engine  management 
programs.    The  Contract  Parts  Sales  area  is  currently 
focusing  on  improving  sales  of  non-contract  parts  to 
contract customers.

Engine  sales  have  reduced  over  the  last  few  years  as 
traditional  customers  have  been  signed  up  to  engine 
management  contracts. 
  However,  the  ongoing 
increases in our stocks of available serviceable engines 
and improvements in the marketing of those engines is 
leading to an increase in opportunities that is expected 
to drive improved results in the new financial year.

Engine rental income for the year was steady. There are 
opportunities in this area into the future, depending on 
the availability of capital to purchase additional engines 
for  lease.    There  may  also  be  opportunities  for  the 
rental or leasing of engines from stock where a surplus 
becomes available.

The IAP Business’ operational profit (excluding tax, non-
cash asset write-downs and FX) of $0.575 million was 
behind budget by $0.305 million but ahead of last year’s 
result by $0.295 million.

IAP  has  continued  to  work  on  improving  its  core 
businesses,  enabling  them  to  generate  suitable  returns 
and  good  cash  flows,  while  reducing  the  business’ 
traditional reliance on one-off trading deals.

The Engine Sales section has provided excellent returns, 
delivering  $1.856  million  in  gross  margin,  which  was 
$1.373  million  ahead  of  the  prior  year  and  well  ahead 
of budget.  This recently formed area has focused mainly 
on  Rolls  Royce  engines  and  will  continue  to  do  so  in 
2015. Further growth in Engine Sales will be encouraged 
in future years as the traditional Airframe Parts Sales and 
Aircraft Rental sections are focussed on extracting cash 
returns  from  remaining  stock  and  supporting  existing 
lease customers.

Returns from Airframe Parts Sales were down compared 
to budget and prior year results. This business is focused 
on  sales  of  parts  for  Fokker  and  British  Aerospace 
airframes  and  while  the  section  did  not  provide  the 
budgeted level of returns, it did provide a significant flow 
of cash to assist with the pay down of debt for IAP. In the 
2015 year, this business will continue to be focused on 
selling  down  the  current  inventory  while  continuing  to 
support IAP and Emerald’s leased aircraft.

Aircraft Rental margins and cash flows were significantly 
impacted  by  the  bankruptcy  of  a  key  lease  customer 
in  the  first  half  of  the  year.    While  the  aircraft  were 
returned promptly and initial losses were mostly offset 
by  deposits  held,  the  costs  of  returning  the  aircraft  to 
serviceable  condition  and  the  ongoing  loss  of  revenue 
from the aircraft being idle had a significant impact on 

ANNUAL REPORT 2014 PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES6

Chairman and Managing Director’s Review 
for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)

the  full  year  results  for  IAP.  The  business  is  currently 
working  with  a  new  lease  customer  and  these  aircraft 
are  expected  to  return  to  service  early  in  the  new 
financial year.

At this point, the Group does not see the Aircraft Rental 
section as a growth area. This section will be focused on 
extracting  the  maximum  cash  returns  for  the  business 
and  this  is  expected  to  involve  the  sale  of  aircraft  as 
opportunities arise.

Emerald Assets

The Emerald 2014 operating result (excluding tax, non-
cash asset write-downs and FX) was a profit of $0.533 
million (2013: 0.042 million loss). This improved result 
was driven by a rationalisation of the fleet of aircraft and 
a reduction in ongoing costs for idle aircraft.

Movements in aircraft during the year were:

A large proportion of the Group’s funding arrangements 
through the CBA mature and will need to be refinanced 
during  the  2015  financial  year.  This  provides  the 
business with an excellent opportunity to review all of 
its current financing arrangements and to determine the 
best  possible  structures  to  fund  the  business  into  the 
future.

As  a  result  of  these  facilities  maturing  in  the  2015 
year,  a  large  portion  of  the  Group’s  borrowings  have 
been classified as current in the Statement of Financial 
Position.  These  are  expected  to  revert  to  non-current 
borrowings following the refinancing in 2015.

5. 

Statement of Financial Position and Net 
Assets

The net asset position as at 30 June 2014 has reduced 
to $33.556 million (2013: $44.693 million). Included in 
net assets are:

■■

■■

■■

Emerald assets: These are predominantly aircraft 
assets of $6.563 million (2013: $13.742 million) 
and extended credit receivables of $2.479 million 
(2013:  $7.234  million),  being  hire  purchase 
arrangements for aircraft;

IAP  Assets:  Land  and  buildings  $6.618  million 
(2013:  $6.721  million),  aircraft  fixed  assets 
$6.946  million  (2013:  $8.084  million),  other 
fixed  assets  $0.311  million  (2013:  $0.324 
million),  and  spare  parts  inventory  of  $5.281 
million (2013: $11.181 million);

PTB  Assets:  Comprises  plant  &  equipment  of 
$3.668  million  (2012:  $3.943  million),  engines 
and  spare  parts  inventory  of  $12.422  million 
(2012: $9.325 million). 

There is also a significant future tax asset balance related 
to carry forward tax losses for the Group.

These  assets  are  offset  by  borrowings,  including  bank 
overdrafts, of $16.6 million (2013: $18 million).

■■ One previously leased ATP was sold to the lessee;

■■ One ATP was supplied on a long-term lease;

■■ One  ATP  was  purchased  and  is  currently  being 

prepared for a long-term lease;

■■ One ATP was broken down into parts to support 

the leased aircraft;

■■

Three HS748 aircraft were sold.

This  leaves  the  business  with  one  idle  ATP  stored  in 
England.    A  decision  is  expected  to  be  made  regarding 
the  future  of  this  aircraft  during  2015.    This  aircraft 
could  either  be  reduced  to  parts  to  support  the  other 
leased aircraft or be modified and prepared for lease.

While the Emerald Assets business is only forecasting a 
modest profit for 2015, it will provide significant cash 
and will continue to pay down debt.  As this debt reduces 
and  new  aircraft  come  online,  profitability  and  cash 
flows will improve and the business will provide a sound 
flow of cash for the Group.

Corporate Overheads 

The  Group’s  corporate  overheads  were  $0.993  million 
(2013:  $1.275  million),  which  was  8  per  cent  below 
budget.  The  main  driver  of  the  lower  costs  was  a 
reduction in staff due to the combining of the CFO and 
Finance Manager (PTB) roles.

4.  Debt and Equity Finance

The  Group  has  met  all  of  its  loan  repayments  and  the 
CBA’s covenant requirements during the year.

Trading  cash  flows  of  $4.870  million  (2013:  $4.518 
million)  is  calculated  as  net  profit  before  tax,  less 
depreciation 
impairments/write-downs.  The 
business  will  continue  to  focus  on  improving  cash 
generated from operating activities with a view to using 
these  funds  to  pay  dividends  and  reduce  debt.  The 
Emerald Assets Business in particular is now in a much 
better  position  to  contribute  to  cash  flows  due  to  the 
rationalisation of aircraft.

The PTB Business has been focusing on building capacity 
and  improving  the  throughput  of  the  PT6  workshop.  
This  has  included  investments  in  tooling  and  facilities 
plus a significant increase in the stocks of spare parts, 
core engines and serviceable/overhauled engines.  PTB 
inventories  at  30  June  2014  included  $1.703  million 
of  serviceable  engines  and  power  sections.    These  are 
available  for  sale  or  to  service  the  needs  of  contract 
customers. 

During  the  year  the  Group  received  USD1.500  million 
cash related to the sale of a leased asset to its Indonesian 
customer.  This  cash  is  being  used  to  supply  a  further 
aircraft to the customer on a long term lease. 

The Group has invested $3.039 million during the year 
on  assets.    This  included  preparing  various  aircraft  for 
lease, overhauling of rental engines and investments in 
tools and facilities.

The Group has continued to pay down loans during the 
year  with  all  repayment  and  covenant  requirements 
having been met. This will continue to be a focus for the 
Group  as  improvements  in  cash  generation  from  each 
business flow through.

■■ Managing cash flow to pay down debt and build 

working capital in each business;

■■ Managing cash flow to commence paying regular 

cash dividends;

■■

■■

■■

Building IAP engine sales business and, along with 
airframe  sales,  increase  profitability  in  order  to  
reduce reliance on one-off trading;

Continue  building  the  PT6A  repair  and  overhaul 
capability;

Investigate  the  opportunities  created  through  a 
USA PT6A facility; 

■■ Deploying under-utilised aircraft through sale or 

lease;

■■

Continuing  to  travel  the  globe  to  unearth 
possible  purchase  opportunities  in  the  Group’s 
core  product  lines  and  possible  one-off  trading 
opportunities;

■■ Developing  new  (or  renewing)  engine  care  and 

maintenance contracts;

■■

Continuing  the  focus  on  turning  inventory  into 
cash.

The  Group  is  confident  this  focus  will  continue  to 
building  a  strong  foundation  for  improved  operational 
performance,  profitability  and  increasing  shareholder 
value.

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:

■■

■■

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:

■■

■■

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 22 per cent of the expanded Group.

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

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

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

A brief summary of the years ended June 2008 to June 
2013  as  the  Company  dealt  with  the  global  financial 
crisis and its aftermath is set out below:

FY 2008:

■■

Global financial crisis;

■■ Decision made to sell aircraft rather than use the 

rental fund and

■■ 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.

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

Small operators in the global aviation industry continue 
to  experience  difficult  trading  conditions  with  lower 
passenger  and  freight  demand,  and  a  shortage  of 
available  funding. 
Increased  regulation  within  the 
industry has also had a notable impact on small operators. 
This has provided both challenges and opportunities to 
the Group.

In response to this, the Group has focused on improving 
the  profitability  of 
its  core  businesses  through 
rationalising  underperforming  assets  and  building  on 
existing  long-term,  mutually  beneficial  relationships 
with customers.  

The Directors have excluded from this report any further 
information on the likely developments in the operations 
of  the  Group  and  the  expected  results  of  those 
operations  in  future  financial  years,  as  the  Directors 
have  reasonable  grounds  to  believe  that  it  would  be 
likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

Environmental Issues

the  Commonwealth’s  Airports 

The  Group  operates  from  Brisbane,  Sydney,  and 
Bankstown Airports in Australia.  It is required to meet 
Brisbane  Airport  Corporation  environment  regulations 
(Environment 
and 
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.

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

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.

value for shareholders in terms of return on equity, and 
conforms to market practice for delivery of reward.  The

Principles used to determine the nature 

B. 
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.

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  E  Share-Based 
Payment Compensation” no options were issued under 
the scheme during the year (2013: 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.

Executive Directors

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

■■

■■

Base pay and benefits, including superannuation; 
and

Short-term performance incentives.

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

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

incentives: 

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

As  advised  in  the  following  “Section  C.  Details  of 
Remuneration”,  no  short  term  incentives  were  paid  to 
Executive Directors during the financial year (2013: Nil)

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

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

g)  has not served on the Board for a period which 
could,  or  could  reasonably  be  perceived  to, 
materially interfere with the Director’s ability to

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

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.

Code of ethics and values

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

Code of conduct for transactions in securities

The  Company  has  developed  and  adopted  a  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 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.

Recommendation 1.2

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

Recommendation 1.3

The Corporate Governance Statement and Board Charter 
are  available  on  the  Company’s  website.    Performance 
evaluations  have  taken  place  in  accordance  with  the 
process disclosed.

ANNUAL REPORT 2014 PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES24

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2014 (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.    It  is 
considered  that  an  informal  annual  evaluation  of  the 
performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees  and  the 
Directors by the Chairman is appropriate given the size 
and  complexity  of  the  business.  PTB  Group  complies 
with the Guidelines in these areas. 

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 judgement is achieved and maintained 
in respect of its decision-making processes:

■■

■■

■■

■■

 The  Chairman  is  an  independent  non-executive 
Director;
 Directors  are  entitled  to  seek 
independent 
professional  advice  at  the  Company’s  expense, 
subject to the approval of the Chairman;
 Directors having a conflict of interest in relation 
to  a  particular  item  of  business  must  absent 
themselves  from  the  Board  meeting  before 
commencement of discussion on the topic; and
Non-executive Directors confer on a needs basis 
without management in attendance.

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.

Principle 3 – Promote ethical and responsible 
decision making

Principle 4 – Safeguard integrity in financial 
reporting

Recommendation 3.1

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 26 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.

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

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

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

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

Recommendation 3.2, 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

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.

in  accordance  with  the 
Corporate  Governance  Charter  are  in  place  to  identify 
matters that are likely to have a material effect on the 
price  of  the  Company’s  securities  and  to  ensure  those 
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 
light of its continuous disclosure policy.  The Company’s 
continuous disclosure obligations are also reviewed as a 
standing  item  on  the  agenda  for  each  regular  meeting 
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.

Recommendation 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4

The  Board  is  responsible  for  oversight  of  the  Group’s 
risk  management  and  control 
framework.  The 
ARM  Committee  assists  the  Board  in  fulfilling  its 
responsibilities in this regard by reviewing the financial 

and reporting aspects of the Group’s risk management 
and control framework.  The Group has implemented a 
policy framework included in the Corporate Governance 
Charter,  designed  to  ensure  that  the  Group’s  risks  are 
identified and that controls are adequate, in place, and 
functioning effectively.  

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

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.

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 

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been 
prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations 
of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and 
International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as  issued 
by  the 
International  Accounting  Standards  Board. 
This  Group  is  a  for-profit  entity  for  financial  reporting 
purposes  under  Australian  Accounting  Standards. 
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation 
of these financial statements are presented below and 
have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

Except  for  cash  flow 
information,  the  financial 
statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and 
are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, 
by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-
current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. 

The Report was authorised by the Board of Directors for 
issue on 22 August 2014.

Limited  (“company”  or  “parent  entity”)  as  at  30  June 
2014 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.  The parent controls an entity when 
it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from 
its  involvement  with  the  entity  and  has  the  ability  to 
affect those returns through its power over the entity. 
For details of the subsidiaries refer note 29. 

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

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

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

(c)  Segment reporting

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

Historical cost convention 

(d)  Foreign currency translation     

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(ad).

(b)  Principles of consolidation

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the 
assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  PTB  Group 

(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.

for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)

33

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:

■■

■■

■■

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:

■■

■■

■■

■■

■■

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  the 
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 dispatched;
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 
recognised 
hire  purchase  agreements) 
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);
Rental 
recognised  on  a  basis 
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;

recognition criteria are met.

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

Tax consolidation legislation

(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.

the 

implemented 

PTB  Group  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian 
controlled  entities  have 
tax 
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).

ANNUAL REPORT 2014PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIESNotes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)

35

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.

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.

(i)  Business combinations

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.   

issued  or 

Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred. 
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent 
liabilities  assumed  in  a  business  combination  are,  with 
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values 
at the acquisition date.  On an acquisition-by-acquisition 
basis,  the  Group  recognises  any  non-controlling 
interest  in  the  acquiree  either  at  fair  value  or  at  the 
non-controlling  interest’s  proportionate  share  of  the 
acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount 
of  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree,  and 
the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  any  previous  equity 
interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s 
share of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded 
as goodwill.  If those amounts are less than the fair value 

of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired 
and the measurement of all amounts has been reviewed, 
the difference is recognised directly in profit and loss as 
a bargain purchase.   

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

(j) 

Impairment of assets

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

(k)  Cash and cash equivalents

For  the  purpose  of  presentation  in  the  statement  of 
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on 
hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions, 
other short-term, highly liquid investments with original 
maturities  of  three  months  or  less  that  are  readily 
convertible  to  known  amounts  of  cash  and  which  are 
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and 
bank  overdrafts.    Bank  overdrafts  are  shown  within 
borrowings  in  current  liabilities  on  the  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.  Cash flows relating to 
short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect 
of discounting is immaterial.

(m) 

Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods

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

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

(n)  Other financial assets 

loans  and 

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following 
categories:  financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  the 
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 
profit  and 
investments  or 
available-for-sale financial assets.

loss,  held-to-maturity 

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 
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.

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).

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)

37

(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 cash flow 
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.    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’.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Leasehold improvements

Leasehold improvements - leased

Plant and equipment – leased

Rental engines

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 de-recognised. 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)).

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by 
comparing  proceeds  with  the  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.

Summary of Significant  
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 27).

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 
profit or loss and other 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

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)  Derivatives and hedging activities

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

■■

■■

■■

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

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 

At  the 
inception  of  the  hedging  transaction  the 
Group  documents  the  relationship  between  hedging 
instruments  and  hedged  items,  as  well  as  its  risk 
management  objective  and  strategy  for  undertaking 
various hedge transactions.  The Group also documents 

ANNUAL REPORT 2014PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIESNotes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 30 June 2014 (Continued)

39

its  assessment,  both  at  hedge  inception  and  on  an 
ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used 
in hedging transactions have been and will continue to 
be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or 
cash flows of hedged items.

loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  within  ‘finance 
costs’.  The gain or loss relating to the effective portion 
of  forward  foreign  exchange  contracts  hedging  export 
sales is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income within ‘sales’.  

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

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

Net investment hedges

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

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge 
accounting

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

The fair values of various derivative financial instruments 
used  for  hedging  purposes  are  disclosed  in  note  14. 
Movements  in  the  hedging  reserve  in  shareholders’ 
equity  are  shown  in  note  18.    The  full  fair  value  of  a 
hedging  derivative  is  classified  as  a  non-current  asset 
or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged 
item is more than 12 months.  If the remaining maturity 
of the hedged item is less than 12 months it is classified 
as  a  current  asset  or  liability.    Trading  derivatives  are 
classified as a current asset or liability.

Fair value hedge

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

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

Cash flow hedge

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

Amounts  accumulated  in  equity  are  recycled  in  the 
statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive 
income  in  the  periods  when  the  hedged  item  affects 
profit or loss.  The gain or loss relating to the effective 
portion  of  interest  rate  swaps  hedging  variable  rate 
borrowings  is  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

(v)  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.  

Termination benefits 

When  applicable,  the  Group  recognises  a  liability  and 
expense  for  termination  benefits  at  the  earlier  of;  (a) 
the  date  when  the  Group  can  no  longer  withdraw  the 
offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group 
recognises costs for restructuring pursuant to AASB137: 
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets 
and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, 
unless  the  number  of  employees  affected  is  known, 
the  obligation  for  termination  benefits  is  measured  on 
the  basis  of  the  number  of  employees  expected  to  be 
affected.  Termination  benefits  that  are  expected  to 
be  settled  wholly  before  12  months  after  the  annual 
reporting  period  in  which  the  benefits  are  recognised 
at  the  (undiscounted)  amounts  expected  to  be  paid. 
All other termination benefits are accounted for on the 
same basis as other long term employee benefits. 

Share-based payments

Share  based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to 
employees  via  the  PTB  Group  Limited  Employee  Share 
Option Scheme as detailed in note 23.

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.

(w)  Provisions

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

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

(x) 

Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

(z)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share

22 Orient Avenue 
Pinkenba QLD 4007

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.

(aa)  Goods and services tax

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

■■

■■ Where  the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  it  is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an 
asset or as part of an item of expense; 
For 
receivables  and  payables  which  are 
recognised inclusive of GST.  The net amounts of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation 
authority  is  included  as  part  of  receivables  or 
payables; or
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.

data, obtained both externally and within the company.  
Key  estimates  and  judgements  impacting  the  financial 
statements are as follows:

Impairment

The  Group  tests  six  monthly  whether  goodwill  has 
suffered  any 
in  accordance  with  the 
accounting  policy  stated  in  note  1(j).    The  recoverable 
amounts of cash-generating units have been determined 
based on value-in-use calculations.  These calculations 
require  the  use  of  assumptions.    Refer  to  note  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.

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

(af)  New accounting standards and 
interpretations

(ae)    Fair value of assets and liabilities 

The  Group  measures  some  of  its  assets  and  liabilities 
at  fair  value  on  either  a  recurring  or  non-recurring 
basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable 
Accounting Standard. 

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an 
asset  or  would  have  to  pay  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an 
orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, 
knowledgeable  and  willing  market  participants  at  the 
measurement date. 

As  fair  value  is  a  market  based  measure,  the  closest 
equivalent observable market pricing information is used 
to  determine  fair  value.  Adjustments  to  market  values 
may  be  made  having  regard  to  the  characteristics  of 
the  specific  asset  or  liability.  The  fair  values  of  assets 
and  liabilities  that  are  not  traded  in  an  active  market 
are determined using one or more valuation techniques. 
These  valuation  techniques  maximise,  to  the  extent 
possible the use of the observable market data. 

To  the  extent  possible,  the  market  information  is 
extracted from either the principal market for the asset 
or  liability  (i.e.  the  market  with  the  greatest  volume 
and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the 
absence  of  such  a  market,  the  most  advantageous 
market available to the entity at the end of the reporting 
period  (i.e.  the  market  that  maximises  the  receipts 
from  the  sale  of  the  asset  or  minimises  the  payments 
made to transfer the liability, after taking into account 
transaction costs and transport costs). 

For  non-financial  assets,  the  fair  value  measurement 
also takes into account a market participants ability to 
use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to 
another market participant that would use the asset in 
its highest and best use. 

The  fair  value  of  liabilities  and  the  entity’s  own  equity 
instruments  (excluding  those  related  to  share-based 
payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is 
no observable market price in relation to the transfer of 
such  financial  instrument,  by  reference  to  observable 
market  information  where  such  instruments  are  held 
as assets. Where this information is not available, other 
valuation techniques are adopted and, where significant, 
are  detailed  in  the  respective  note  to  the  financial 
statements.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards 
and  interpretations  are  effective  for  annual  periods 
beginning  after  1  July  2013.  The  following  standards 
have  been  identified  as  those  which  impact  the  entity 
in  the  current  reporting  period.  There  is  no  significant 
impact to the group on adoption of these standards.

(i)  AASB  10  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  – 
AASB  10  includes  a  new  definition  of  control, 
including additional guidance for specific situations 
such as control in a principal / agent situation and 
when holding less than majority voting rights may 
give  control.  AASB  10  supersedes  the  previous 
requirements  of  AASB  127  Consolidated  and 
Separate Financial Statements and Interpretation 
112  Consolidation  -  Special  Purpose  Entities 
and  resulted  in  consequential  amendments  to 
a  number  of  other  standards.  The  Group  has 
reviewed  its  investment  in  other  entities  to 
determine  whether  any  changes  were  required 
to  the  consolidated  entity  under  AASB  10.  The 
composition  of  the  consolidated  entity  is  the 
same  under  AASB  10  and  therefore  there  is  no 
change  to  the  reported  financial  position  and 
performance.

(ii)  AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. 
AASB  12  sets  out  the  required  disclosures  for 
entities  reporting  under  AASB  10  and  AASB 
11  and  replaces  the  disclosure  requirements 
currently  found  in  AASB  127,  AASB  128  and 
AASB 131. The standard includes all disclosures 
relating  to  an  entity’s  interest  in  associates, 
joint  arrangements,  subsidiaries  and  structured 
entities.

(iii) AASB  13  Fair  Value  Measurement  and  AASB 
2011-8  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting 
Standards  arising  from  AASB  13.  Fair  Value 
Measurement  does  not  change  what  and  when 
assets  or  liabilities  are  recorded  at  fair  value.  It 
provides  guidance  on  how  to  measure  assets 
and liabilities at fair value, including the concept 
of  highest  and  best  use  for  non-financial 
assets. AASB 13 has not changed the fair value 
measurement  basis  for  any  assets  or  liabilities 
held at fair value; however additional disclosures 
on the methodology and fair value hierarchy have 
been included in the financial statements.

(ii)  AASB  2012-3  Amendments 

to  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  –  Offsetting  Financial 
Assets and Financial Liabilities (application date 1 
January 2014). This standard applies application 
guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies 
identified  in  applying  some  of  the  offsetting 
criteria  of  AASB  132,  including  clarifying  the 
meaning  of  ‘currently  has  a  legal  enforceable 
right of set-off’ and that some gross settlement 
systems  may  be  considered  equivalent  to  net 
settlement.   

(iii) AASB  2013-3  Amendments  to  AASB  136 
–  Recoverable  Amount  Disclosures  for  Non-
Financial  Assets  (application  date  1  January 
2014).  This  standard  amends  AASB  136  to 
require additional disclosures about the fair value 
measurement  when  the  recoverable  amount  of 
impaired assets is based on fair value less costs 
of  disposal.  In  addition,  a  further  requirement 
has been included to disclose the discount rates 
that have been used in the current and previous 
measurements  if  the  recoverable  amount  of 
impaired  assets  based  on  fair  value  less  costs 
of  disposal  was  measured  using  a  present  value 
technique.

(iv) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
(application  date  1  January  2017).  Establishes 
principles  for  reporting  useful  information  to 
users  of  financial  statements  about  the  nature, 
amount,  timing  and  uncertainty  of  revenue  and 
cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with 
customers.

(iv) AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011) 
and  AASB  2011-10  Amendments  to  Australian 
from  AASB 
Accounting  Standards  arising 
119  (September  2011).  Employee  benefits 
introduces  revised  definitions  for  short-term 
employee benefits and termination benefits.

(v)  AASB  2011-4  Amendments 

to  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  to  remove  Individual  Key 
Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements 
and additions to Corporations Regulations 2001, 
Regulation  2M.3.03.  This  amendment  deletes 
from  AASB124 
individual  key  management 
personnel  disclosure  requirements  for  disclosing 
entities that are not companies. It also removes 
the 
individual  key  management  personnel 
disclosure requirements for all disclosing entities 
in  relation  to  equity  holdings,  loans  and  other 
related party transactions. 

(vi) AASB 2012-2 and AASB 2012-3 Amendments 
to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosures 
–  Offsetting  Financial  Assets  and  Financial 
Liabilities.  This  standard  principally  amends 
AASB  7  Financial  Instruments:  Disclosures  to 
require  entities  to 
information  that 
will  enable  users  of  their  financial  statements 
to  evaluate  the  effect  or  potential  effect  of 
netting arrangements, including rights of set-off 
associated  with  the  entity’s  recognised  financial 
assets  and  recognised  financial  liabilities,  on  the 
entity’s financial position. This standard does not 
impact on the group’s financial statements. 

include 

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations 
have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  30 
June  2014  reporting  periods  and  have  not  been  early 
adopted by the Group. The following new standards to 
be applied in future periods are set out below:

(i)  AASB 9 Financial instruments (application date 1 
January  2017).  This  standard  makes  significant 
changes to the way financial assets are classified 
for the purpose of determining their measurement 
basis and also to the amounts relating to fair value 
changes, which are to be taken directly to equity. 
This  standard  also  makes  significant  changes  to 
hedge accounting requirements and disclosures.

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 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  expected  to  be  retained  by  the 
customers.  A provision for impairment of these receivables was taken up during 2014.  This impairment reflects 
an expected reduction in the market value of the related aircraft below the residual amount at the end of the term.

Rental arrangements – aircraft and engines

The Group rents aircraft and engines under two general arrangements:

■■

■■

Contingent rentals - rented to customers under agreements with rentals payable monthly and no fixed term.  
As such, the agreements are cancellable.  The rent is calculated on the basis of an hourly rate and hours of 
usage.  There are no minimum hours of usage or minimum lease payments set out in the relevant agreements.  
As  such,  in  accordance  with  AASB  117  “Leases”  the  rental  income  comprises  of  contingent  rentals  not 
minimum lease payments.  Accordingly, there are no fixed lease commitments receivable; and

Set or minimum rentals - the operating leases relate to aircraft and/or engines leased to third parties with 
lease terms of between 3-7 years.  The monthly rental payments are either set or per hour of usage with 
minimum hours per annum.  In addition, a contingent rental may be receivable based upon hours of usage.  The 
lessee may have an option to purchase the aircraft/engine at the expiry of the lease period.  However, the 
final purchase price is determined on a case by case basis in negotiation between the Group and the lessee.

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

No later than one year

Later than one year but not later than five years

2013: Net Transfers of $453,000  represents the transfer of engine cores to inventory of $283,000 combined with the 
elimination of profit in Property, Plant and equipment of $170,000.
2014: Net Transfers of $1,918,000 represents transfer of engine cores and aircraft frames to inventory.
2014:  Impairments of $9,289,000 represents a write-down of aircraft in the IAP and Emerald Assets businesses as announced 
to the market in November 2013.  These write-downs were primarily driven by a change in strategy. The business is now 
focused on extracting value from idle aircraft in the short-term rather than extracting greater value over a longer term.

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  cash  flow  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% (2013: 12.6%).  An average growth rate of 3% 
(2013: 4%) 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.

Bank Overdraft, Bank Loans and Bills Payable

The bank overdraft and bank loans including bills payable are secured by way of a registered company charge over 
the whole of the assets and undertakings of the parent entity and that of its subsidiaries PTB Emerald Pty Ltd and 
IAP Group Australia Pty Ltd of $33.242 million (2013: $44.378 million).  Included in the above are bank loans and 
finance leases in the subsidiaries that are secured by the relevant aviation assets included in plant and equipment 
and inventory of the relevant subsidiary. In addition the Group has complied with the requirement that, while there is 
money owed to the lender, no return of capital, dividends or payments can be made to ordinary shareholders in PTB

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. All 
of these amounts 2014: $821,000 (2013: $766,000) are 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. Leave obligations expected to be settled after 12 months 2014: $350k (2013: $350k).

value shares.  Accordingly, the parent does not have authorised capital nor par value in respect of its issued shares. 
All shares rank equally with regards to the Company’s residual assets. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to 
one vote per share at meetings of the Company.

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. The group defines capital as its equity and net 
debt. There has been no change to capital risk management policies during the year.  

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.

23.  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 received 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.

26.  Financial Risk Management and Other Financial Instrument Disclosures

Financial Risk Management

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

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

(a)  Market risk

(i) 

Foreign exchange risk

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

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Trade and other receivables

Other assets

Forward exchange contracts

Trade and other payables

Borrowings

Notes to the Financial Statements

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

(a)  Market risk (continued)

Group sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2014, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% 
against the USD dollar, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post tax position for the year would have 
been $164,000 lower/$134,000 higher (2013: profit $235,000 lower/$192,000 higher), 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 $164,000 lower/$134,000 higher (2013: $235,000 lower/$192,000 higher) 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 has improved compared to the prior year due to the addition of a US$3 million 
cash flow hedge and a net reduction in USD creditors.  This was partly offset by reductions in USD denominated long 
term HP Debtors.

As per above, the Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

It is also worth noting that the company undertakes the majority of its sales and purchases in US dollars. Therefore, 
the majority of profit is generated in US dollars, with the reported AUD 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.

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

(a)  Market risk (continued)

(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:

As the majority of the interest rates are fixed, at 30 June 2014 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 (2013: immaterial).

Net Fair Values

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

26.  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:

■■

■■

■■

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  2014  the  largest  10 
debtors comprised approximately 73% (2013: 71%) of total receivables.  It should be noted that the largest 
debtor is an extended credit receivable to a customer in Indonesia which accounts for 28% (2013: 44%) 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 27% (2013: 29%) 
of total receivables; and

■■

The receivables are concentrated in six main geographical areas.  Refer to note 27 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, finance leases and finance company loans.

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.

27.  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.

(2013: $9.025 million) and the total revenue from external customers in other countries is $26.440 million (2013: 
$18.679 million). Segment revenues are allocated based on the country in which the customer is located.

This measurement basis excludes the effects of non recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as, 
unrealised gains / (losses) on foreign currency movements, impairments of aircraft, inventory and extended credit 
receivables.  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

Impairment of inventory

Independent Auditor’s Report
for the year ended 30 June 2014

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  2014,  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.

Independence

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