It  was  a  very  good  year  for  PTB  Group  with  the  core 
improvement 
trading  businesses  driving  an  overall 
in  results.    This  is  particularly  pleasing  as  the  IAP  and 
Emerald  Assets  businesses  have  historically  relied  on 
large trading deals to deliver positive results.

The  PTB  Business  had  another  solid  year  contributing 
$2.932  million  to  the  Group  result.  The  consistent 
results for this business are driven by long-term engine 
maintenance  contracts  with  ongoing  productivity 
improvements delivering the improved outcomes.

The  IAP  Business  returned  a  net  profit  before  tax  of 
$2.332  million.  The  improved  result  for  this  business 
was driven by:

■■

■■

■■

■■

Increased aircraft lease revenue
Improved sales margins
Reduced staff and overhead costs
Insurance payout from prior year incident

This business is expected to continue to deliver positive 
results into the future.

The  Emerald  Assets  Business  had  a  steady  year  with  a 
net profit before tax of $0.131 million. This result was 
in line with expected returns from the aircraft managed 
by this business. 

Future  returns  for  this  business  are  forecast  to  reduce 
due to an acceleration of the depreciations rates for the 
ATP aircraft that this business operates.

Pacific Turbine USA is a new business that operates with a 
similar business model to the PTB Business but is focused 
on the North American market. The development of this 
business is a key strategy for the Group.

Pacific Turbine USA has returned a small profit from its 
first  few  months  of  operation.  Profits  will  continue  to 
grow  as  production  levels  and  the  customer  base  are 
established.

3.  Overview of Group Businesses 

PTB (Brisbane) business 

PTB is an aircraft engine business concentrating on the 
PT6  and  TPE331  engines.  The  business  sells  engines, 
engine maintenance services and spare parts to a range 
of customers around the world. The business operates 
out  of  a  purpose  built  facility  at  Pinkenba,  near  the 
Brisbane Airport.

PTB’s engine management programs (PTB-EMProgram) 
are the main driver of its success and consistent returns. 
Under  these  programs,  PTB  provides  a  comprehensive 
engine  management  service  in  return  for  consistent 
monthly  payments.  These  plans  provide  PTB  with 
consistent cash flows and a continuous flow of engine 
sales, parts sales and workshop jobs.

With  the  established  production  plan  that  contract 
customers provide, the business can extract maximum 
value  from  any  opportunist  bulk  parts  buys  or  engine 
opportunities that may arise.

The  small  PT6A  engine  is  the  cornerstone  of  the 
PTB  engine  business.  The  focus  on  the  PT6A  engine 
has  allowed  PTB  to  build  specialist  knowledge  and 
significantly reduce the whole of life costs of operating 
and maintaining these engines. 

The  TPE331  engine  is  also  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  assist 
the  business  to  maintain  profitability  in  line  with  the 
declining operator base.

There  continues  to  be  organic  growth  opportunities 
for  the  PT6A  Brisbane  shop  and  the  Group  continues 
to  invest  in  plant,  people  and  processes  that  improve 
efficiencies and profitability. Our engine overhaul shops 
are primarily geared to produce engines for our contract 
customers.

The  business  also  searches  out  one-off  trading 
opportunities in engines, aircraft and parts. These deals 
have  led  to  significant  profits  in  past  years  and  are 
expected to continue to contribute into the future.

IAP Businesss

IAP  is  predominantly  an  aircraft  spare  parts  business. 
The  business  operates  out  of  a  large  warehouse  in 
Warriewood, New South Wales.

The  business  sells  a  large  variety  of  airframe  parts, 
aircraft engines and engine repair and overhaul services 
from  its  own  vast  stockholding  and  a  comprehensive 
supplier network. 

The structure of the IAP Business was reviewed during 
the  2014-15  year  and  as  a  result,  the  administration 
and  accounting  functions  were  merged  with  the  head 
office  in  Brisbane.  This  change  has  led  to  a  significant 
reduction in overhead costs with no impact on sales.

The  IAP  business  is  split  into  three  divisions:  Engines, 
Airframe Parts and Leasing.

The  Engine  division  is  currently  focused  on  the  Rolls 
Royce  Dart  engines  and  there  has  been  a  steady  flow 
of work with solid margins since Rolls Royce announced 
that it was discontinuing its support of this engine type. 
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, SAAB and 
British  Aerospace  airframes.  It  also  has  a  major  role  in 
supporting the lease customers of Emerald and IAP. The 
airframe segment will continue to extract returns from 
the sell down of the existing stock, while maintaining an 
appropriate level of stock to support lease customers.

The  business  owns  and  leases  three  BAe  Jetstream 
aircraft  and  owns  two  Fairchild  Metro  aircraft  that  are 
available for sale or lease.

Emerald Assets Business

The Emerald Assets business owns one ATP aircraft that 
is  leased  to  a  long-term  customer.  A  second  ATP  was 
sold  to  the  same  customer  on  credit  terms  in  2014 
and  the  business  earns  interest  while  also  providing 
maintenance services for that aircraft.

Proceeds from these contracts are used to pay down a 
significant amount of debt each year.

Pacific Turbine USA Business

Pacific Turbine USA is a new aircraft engine business that 
commenced trading in the second half of this year. 

The business is based around a similar model to the PTB 
business but is focused on the North American market.  
This  business  has  a  strategic  supply  agreement  with  a 
business in the USA that supplies the engine repair and 
overhaul  services  required  to  support  customers  in 
North America. 

The development of this business is a key strategy for 
the Group as it has the potential to provide a significant 
boost to the Group’s overall results.

Commentary on Operations for the Year 

PTB Business Performance

The  PTB  business  generated  a  profit  before  tax 
and  foreign  exchange  losses  of  $2.932  million.  The 
consistent  results  for  the  business  are  driven  by  the 
long-term engine maintenance contracts. 

The PT6 Workshop had a very good year with margins 
$1.1m  ahead  of  the  prior  year.  Productivity  continued 
to  improve  throughout  the  year  as  the  business  came 
to  grips  with  the  additional  requirements  of  the  CASR 
Part  145  regulations  for  approved  maintenance 
organisations.  The  results  were  also  boosted  by  a 
number of high margin jobs for non-contract customers.

The  TPE331  Workshop  had  a  reasonable  year  with 
margins slightly down compared to prior years but lower 
labour costs leading to an improved overall result.

Engine sales had a reasonable year. While engine sales to 
non-contract  customers  were  down  on  the  prior  year, 
the team was able to source a number of higher margin 
external jobs for the workshops.

Parts  sales  to  non-contract  customers  were  $0.111 
million  higher  than  the  previous  year  due  to  improved 
sales to wholesale customers. Despite the improvement, 
this business is still not delivering the expected results 
and further improvements will be expected in 2017.

Parts  sales  to  contract  customers  were  slightly  higher 
than  the  prior  year.  This  business  manages  parts 
requirements  for  a  range  of  contract  customers.  The 
business also leverages this relationship to gain additional 
sales of parts not covered by the contracts.

Engine  rental  income  for  the  year  was  slightly  higher 
than  the  prior  year.  About  half  of  the  current  rental 
engine pool is made up of engines on long-term leases 
to  customers,  with  the  remainder  of  the  engines 
available for short-term rental to support contract and 
non-contract customers. 

Future  opportunities  in  this  area  will  be  dependent  on 
the availability of capital and/or the availability of surplus 
engines from production.

IAP Business performance

The IAP Business finished the year with a profit before 
tax and foreign exchange losses of $2.332 million. There 
were improvements across all of the core business areas 
as well as a couple of one-off items that further boosted 
the result.

Margins from the core airframe parts and engine sales 
businesses  were  $0.501  million  higher  than  the  prior 

year  with  the  airframe  parts  sales  business  showing 
the  greatest  improvement.  These  core  businesses  are 
expected to continue to produce consistent returns with 
a reduced dependence on one-off deals.

Aircraft rentals were $0.322 million higher than the prior 
year due to the remainder of the Jetstreams returning to 
service at the start of the financial year. One of these 
aircraft  was  then  sold  late  in  the  financial  year  with 
the net gain on disposal further contributing to the IAP 
result.  The  business  still  owns  two  Metro  aircraft  that 
are currently available for sale or lease.

IAP also received a payout from insurers that related to 
damage to an aircraft a number of years ago. There had 
been no provision taken up for this, so it has provided a 
boost to the results in the 2016 year.

Overhead costs were significantly lower than the prior 
year following the merger of the accounting and finance 
functions  for  the  Group  towards  the  end  of  the  2015 
year.

Emerald Assets

The Emerald Assets business returned a profit before tax 
and foreign exchange gains of $0.131 million. 

Emerald owns one ATP that is on a long-term lease. The 
business also sold a second ATP to the same customer on 
credit terms in 2014. Emerald receives interest revenue 
and manages a maintenance contract for this aircraft.

For the next few years the Emerald Assets business will 
continue to make close to break-even results from the 
lease, interest and the ATP maintenance contract. Funds 
will primarily be used to pay down debt.

Pacific Turbine USA 

Profit  before  tax  and  foreign  exchange  losses  for  the 
new business are $0.075 million. 

The  business  started  trading  separately  in  February 
2016  and  is  progressing  well.  Engines  produced  under 
the supply agreement with the USA shop have provided 
good financial outcomes and have helped to validate the 
concept.

Costs to date have been kept to a minimum through the 
use of existing resources in the PTB business.  Additional 
sales  and  administrative  staff  will  be  required  as  the 
business grows.

The current focus for the business is sourcing the funding 
required  to  build  up  a  stock  of  engines  that  can  be 
either sold or used in the development of maintenance 
contracts.

Corporate Overheads 

The  Group’s  corporate  overheads  were  $1.285  million 
(2015:  $0.863  million).  The  increase  is  due  to  the 
reallocation  of  administration  and  finance  costs  for 
the  Group  from  the  individual  businesses  to  Corporate 
Overheads.

5.  Debt and Equity Finance

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

The  Group  refinanced  one  fixed  interest  rate  US  dollar 
loan with the CBA during the 2016 financial year. The 
Group also financed the annual insurance costs similarly 
to prior years.

Total  debt  as  at  June  2016  has  reduced  to  $13.687 
million  (2015:  $15.675  million)  with  the  weighted 
average interest rate also dropping to     5.62% (2015: 
5.77%).  Net  debt  is  $11.705  million  (2015:  $11.875 
million).

The  Group  placed  $0.700  million  of  shares  to 
sophisticated investors in June 2016. The proceeds from 
this placement were used to pay the cash portion of the 
June 2016 dividend. This allowed the funds generated 
from operating activities to be used for growth initiatives 
including the Pacific Turbine USA business.

6. 

Statement of Financial Position and Net 
Assets

The  net  asset  position  as  at  June  2016  has  increased 
to  $37.686  million  (2015:  $35.101  million).  Included 
in net assets are:

Net  maintenance  contract  receivables  are  the  net 
balance  of  all  current  engine  maintenance  contracts.  A 
positive  balance  is  generated  where  the  PTB  business 
has  supplied  more  than  the  average  volume  of  parts, 
mainly engines. This balance is carried forward and either 
reduced over time or becomes payable by the customer 
at the end of the contract.

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 $13.687 million (2015:$15.675million).

Cash Flows

As  included  in  5.  above,  there  has  been  a  significant 
movement in the net balance of maintenance contracts 
in the PTB Business. This has had a negative impact on 
current  year  cash  flows  as  the  business  has  supplied 
a  much  greater  value  of  engines  and  parts  to  the 
contracts than the average expected over the term of 
the contracts.

Improvements  in  operating  performance  across  the 
Group  have  helped  to  offset  the  impact  of  this  peak 
demand that is expected to reverse over the next two 
to three years.

The  business  will  continue  to  focus  on  improving  cash 
generated  from  operating  activities  with  the  surplus 
used to fund growth in the Pacific Turbine USA business 
and pay dividends.

The Group has continued to pay down loans during the 
year with all repayment and covenant requirements met.

8.    PTB Group’s Outlook

The  current  year  results  demonstrate  the  significant 
improvements  that  have  been  made 
in  the  core 
businesses of the Group. As a result of this, along with 
the  greatly  reduced  debt  level,  the  business  has  now 
switched its focus to growth opportunities.

The  Group  will  continue 
to  drive  progressive 
improvements  in  PTB  and  IAP,  while  extracting  the 
maximum  benefits  from  Emerald.  The  proceeds  will 
be used to fund growth initiatives including the Pacific 
Turbine USA business. The business is also committed to 
paying consistent dividends.

 Developing  funding  opportunities  for  growth 
initiatives  including  Pacific  Turbine  USA  and  the 
funding of aircraft and engines.

Harvey Parker
Chairman 

The  PTB  business  is  expected  to  continue  to  make 
consistent  profits  from  the  existing  maintenance 
contracts, while taking advantage of higher margin non-
contract sales and one-off trading opportunities.

Craig Baker
Managing Director

The  IAP  business  is  now  in  a  much  improved  position 
and is generating surplus cash flows that can be used to 
support the growth initiatives for the Group.

The Emerald business should return close to break-even 
results  from  the  remaining  ATP  lease,  hire  purchase

Background

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  provision  of  finance  for  PT6A  and  TPE331 
turbine engines for customers.

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 
2015  as  the  Company  dealt  with  the  global  financial 
crisis and its aftermath is set out below:

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.

end of the financial year.

A  detailed  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  2016  year’s 
performance  has  been  provided  in  the  Chairman  and 
Managing  Director’s  Review  included  in  this  annual 
report.

Operating Results

The consolidated net profit after tax was $2.567 million 
(2015: $1.963 million profit). 

Financial Position

The net assets of the Group are $37.686 million as at 
30 June 2016 (2015: $35.101 million). 

Dividends

A  fully  franked  dividend  of  5  cents  per  share  was 
declared  and  paid  for  the  30  June  2016  financial  year 
(2015: 5 cents per share).

Franking Credits

Franking credits available for subsequent financial years 
based on a tax rate of 30 per cent are $9.336 million 
(2015: $10.236 million).

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

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

After Balance Date Events 

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

Future Developments, Prospects and 
Business Strategies

Over recent years the Group has focused on improving 
the  profitability  of 
its  core  businesses  through 
rationalising  underperforming  assets  and  building 
on  long-term,  mutually  beneficial  relationships  with 
customers.  

While the core business improvement strategies continue, 
the  Group  is  now  shifting  its  focus  towards  growth 
opportunities.

The  primary  growth  strategy  is  the  development  of  the 
engine  business  in  America  through  Pacific  Turbine  USA. 
The  plan  is  to  sell  PT6  engines,  parts  and  management 
programs similar to the PTB business. 

The strategic relationship with the established engine shop 
in  the  USA  has  allowed  the  new  business  to  commence 
operations very quickly with no fixed capital requirements 
and  greatly  reduced  risk.  The  main  requirement  for  this 
business  is  working  capital  to  pay  for  the  overhaul  and 
repair  services  and  to  purchase  parts  required  to  build 
engines.

The Group is investigating various funding options to allow 
the business to reach full production capacity. The aim is to 
produce a stock of engines for sale/rental/lease or for use 
in the development of engine management programs.

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

Environmental Issues

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

B. 

Principles used to determine the nature  
and amount of remuneration

Non-executive Directors

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

Directors’  remuneration  for  their  services  as  Directors 
is by a fixed sum and not a commission or a percentage 
of profits or operating revenue.  It may not be increased 
except at a general meeting in which particulars of the 
proposed  increase  have  been  provided  in  the  notice 
convening  the  meeting  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, 
in 
accommodation  and  other  expenses 
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. 

incurred 

Executive and Key Management Pay

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

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

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

Compensation 

in  the  form  of  cash  bonuses  for

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

Executive Directors during the financial year (2015: 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 
Share  Option  Scheme  (“the  Scheme”)  is  in  place.    The 
incentive  provided  by  the  scheme  will  be  of  material 
benefit to the Company in encouraging the commitment 
and continuity of service of the recipients.  By providing 
executives  and  employees  with  a  personal  financial 
interest  in  the  Company,  the  Company  will  be  able  to 
attract  and  retain  Executive  Directors,  key  Executives 
and employees in a highly competitive market.  This is 
expected  to  result  in  future  benefits  accruing  to  the 
shareholders of the Company.

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

As  advised  in  the  following  “Section  E  Share-Based 
Payment Compensation” no options were issued under 
the scheme during the year (2015: 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.

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

■■

■■

■■

Transparency; and

Capital management.

Executive Directors

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

■■

■■

Base pay and benefits, including superannuation; 
and

Short-term performance incentives.

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

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

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

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2016

Corporate  Governance  describes  the  framework  of 
rules,  relationships,  systems  and  processes  within 
and  by  which  authority  is  exercised  and  controlled 
within  corporations.  It  encompasses  the  mechanisms 
by  which  companies,  and  those  in  control,  are  held  to 
account. Good corporate governance promotes investor 
confidence which is crucial to the ability of the group to 
compete for capital.

The  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations 3rd Edition 
recommends eight core corporate governance principles 
for entities listed on the ASX that, in the Council’s view 
are  likely  to  achieve  good  governance  outcomes  and 
meet  the  reasonable  expectations  of  most  investors 
in  most  situations.  The  Recommendations  are  not 
mandatory and do not seek to prescribe the corporate 
governance practices that a listed entity must adopt.

Under  Listing  Rule  4.10.3  PTB  is  required  to  provide  a 
statement disclosing the extent to which it has followed 
the  Recommendations.  Where  a  Recommendation  has

Trading  Policy  last  updated  on  22  December 
2010 that is lodged with the ASX; and

h)  Communications  with  shareholders  and  the

Appointment of Board Members 

When  a  vacancy  exists,  through  whatever  cause,  or 
where  the  Board  considers  that  it  would  benefit  from 
the services of a new member with particular skills, the 
Board  considers  a  panel  of  candidates  identified  and 
selected by the Board having regard to:

a)  what  may  be  appropriate  for  the  Company  and 

the Group;

b)  the  skills,  expertise  and  experience  of  the 

candidates;

c)  the mix of those skills, expertise and experience 

with those of the existing Directors; and

d)  the  perceived  compatibility  of  the  candidates 
with the Group and with the existing Directors

Potential  candidates  to  be  appointed  as  Directors  are 
considered  by  the  Board  with  advice  from  an  external 
consultant as considered by the Board to be appropriate.  
The  Board  then  appoints  the  most  suitable  candidates 
who  (assuming  that  they  consent  to  act  as  Directors) 
continue in office only until the next AGM and are then 
eligible  for  re-election  but  are  not  taken  into  account 
in  determining  the  number  of  Directors  to  retire  by 
rotation at the AGM. Security holders are provided with 
all  material  information  in  the  company’s  possession 
relevant to a decision on whether or not to elect or re-
elect a director

The terms and conditions of the appointment of all new 
members  of  the  Board  must  be  specified  in  a  letter  of 
appointment.

Diversity Policy

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 

issued  by  ASX 
Best  practice 
recommend  a  separate  disclosure  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  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.

Board and Committee Evaluation Process

The  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees,  and 
individual  Directors 
is  evaluated  annually  by  the 
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. 

Service Agreements with Senior Management 
and Company Secretary 

Senior Management Evaluation Process

The  terms  of  appointment  of  senior  management  are 
documented  in  a  service  agreement.  Key  details  of 
service agreements with key management personnel are 
detailed in the remuneration report forming part of the 
Directors’ report in the annual report.

The terms of appointment of the company secretary are 
documented  in  a  service  agreement  including  that  the 
company secretary is accountable directly to the board, 
through the chair, on all matters to do with the proper 
functioning of the board.

The  process  for  evaluating  the  performance  of  senior 
management  includes  a  process  of  annual  appraisals 
measuring  performance  against  goals  and  key 
performance  indicators  including  contributions  to  the 
overall outcomes of the business. 

Performance evaluations have taken place in accordance 
with the process disclosed.

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

Composition of the Board

The Board performs its role and function in accordance 
with the following principles:

a)  The Board should comprise at least three and no 

more than 10 Directors;

b)  The  Board  must  comprise  of  members  with 
a  broad  range  of  experience,  expertise,  skills 
and  contacts  relevant  to  the  Company  and  its 
business;

c)  At least half of the Board should be non-executive 
Directors independent from management; and

d)  The Chairman of the Board should be one of the 

independent non-executive Directors.

At  30  June  2016  the  Board  comprised  six  members 
including  H  Parker  (appointed  10/10/2001),  an 
independent  non-executive  Chairman,  APS  Kemp 
(appointed  25/08/2006)  an 
independent  non-
executive Director, A Sormann (appointed 2/12/2015) 
a  non-executive  director  and  C  Baker  (appointed 
9/10/2001),  RS  Ferris  (appointed  21/09/2006)  and 
SG  Smith  (appointed  23/05/16)  who  are  executive 
Directors.

The  Board  is  of  the  view  that  the  current  composition 
of the Board is adequate to ensure the best interests of 
shareholders given the size and nature of the Company’s 
operations.  In  addition,  the  Chairman  has  the  deciding 
vote at any meetings where a vote is initially tied.

Independence of Board Members

The  Board  has  adopted  the  following  definition  of  an 
Independent Director:

An  independent  Director  is  a  Director  who  is  not  a 
member of management (a non executive Director) and 
who:

a) 

is not a substantial shareholder of the Company 
or an officer of, or otherwise associated, directly 
or indirectly, with a substantial shareholder of the 
Company;

b)  has not, within the last three years, been employed 
in  an  executive  capacity  by  the  Company  or 
another Group member, or been a Director after 
ceasing to hold any such employment;

c) 

is  not  a  principal  of  a  professional  advisor  to 
the  Company  or  another  Group  member,  or  an 
employee materially associated with the service 
provided,  except  in  circumstances  where  the 

advisor  might  be  considered  to  be  independent 
notwithstanding  their  position  as  a  professional 
advisor  due  to  the  fact  that  fees  payable  by 
the  Company  to  the  advisor’s  firm  represent  an 
insignificant component of its overall revenue;

d)  is  not  a  significant  supplier  or  customer  of  the 
Company or another Group member, or an officer 
of or otherwise associated, directly or indirectly, 
with a significant supplier or customer;

e)  has  no  significant  contractual  relationship  with 
the  Company  or  another  Group  member  other 
than as a Director;

f) 

is free from any interest and any business or other 
relationship,  which  could,  or  could  reasonably 
be  perceived  to,  materially  interfere  with  the 
Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the 
Company; and

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 
act in the best interests of the Company.

The Board regularly assesses the independence of each 
Director in the light of the interests disclosed by them. 
The independence of Directors is disclosed in the annual 
report.  Where  the  independence  of  a  Director  is  lost, 
this will be immediately disclosed to the market.

Of  the  six  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 2.4 of the ASX Corporate Governance 
Guidelines  as  the  majority  of  Directors  are  not 
independent Directors.

The Board has adopted the following measures to ensure 
that independent 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.

Board Skills Matrix

A Board skills matrix has been adopted by the board of 
PTB Group Limited (PTB) to ensure the board maintains 
an  appropriate  mix  of  skills,  knowledge,  experience, 
personal attributes and other criteria appropriate for the 
governance of the Group. 

The  PTB  Board  is  a  skills-based  board  comprising 
directors  who  collectively  have  the  skills,  knowledge 
and  experience  to  effectively  govern  and  direct  the 
organisation  including  governance  skills,  industry  skills 
and personal attributes.

The Board skills matrix is reviewed and assessed annually 
as part of the board evaluation process. Individual board 
member  skills  are  updated  annually  as  part  of  the 
director evaluation process.

A summary of skills, experience and special responsibilities 
of  each  director  is  disclosed  in  the  Directors’  Report 
included in the annual report.

Induction of New Directors, Training and 
Advice

Directors  are  provided  with  relevant  information  in 
relation to the Company and the Group before accepting 
appointment, and also with a relevant induction package 
on accepting appointment, in each case appropriate for 
them to discharge their responsibilities in office.

Directors  are  provided  with  access  to  continuing 
education 
in  relation  to  the  Group  extending  to 
its  business,  the  industry  in  which  it  operates,  and 
generally information required by them to discharge the 
responsibilities of their office.

Each  Director  has  the  right  to  seek  independent  legal 
or other professional advice at the Company’s expense.  
Prior  approval  from  the  Chairman  is  required  but  may 
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly

A listed entity should act ethically and responsibly

Recommendation 3.1

A listed entity should:

Complies: 
YES

(a)  have a code of conduct for its directors, senior 

executives and employees; and

(b) disclose that code or a summary of it.

The Company is committed to achieving and maintaining 
the  highest  standards  of  conduct  and  has  undertaken 
various  initiatives  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 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.

Charter

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.

YES

A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration 
scheme should:

(a)  have  a  policy  on  whether  participants  are

which limit the economic risk of participating in 
the scheme; and

(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

and  risk  management  is  delegated  to  the  appropriate 
level  of  management  within  the  Group  with  the 
Managing  Director  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  having 
ultimate responsibility to the Board for the Group’s risk 
management and internal control activities.   

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

■■

■■

■■

■■

Regular monthly reporting to the Board in respect 
of  operations  and  the  financial  position  of  the 
Group;  
Reports by the Chairman of the ARM Committee 
and  circulation  to  the  Board  of  the  minutes  of 
each meeting held by the ARM Committee;  
Presentations  made  to  the  Board  throughout 
the year by appropriate members of the Group’s 
management 
independent 
advisers,  where  necessary)  on  the  nature  of

The risk management framework included in the Audit 
and Risk Management Committee Charter is available on 
the Company’s website and is reviewed at least annually. 
The last review was in June 2016.

Internal Audit

importance 

The  company  currently  does  not  have  an  internal 
audit  function.  Considerable 
is  placed 
on  maintaining  a  strong  control  environment  both 
financially  and  operationally.  The  audit  committee  and 
the board continue to monitor the need for an internal 
audit  function  as  the  business  grows  and  through  the 
independent  expertise  on  the  audit  committee  in 
conjunction  with  reporting  from  external  auditors  and 
industry  certification  audits  which  regularly  evaluate 
the  effectiveness  of  its  risk  management  and  internal 
control processes.

Economic, 
Sustainability Risks

Environmental 

and 

Social 

The  group  is  not  subject  to  any  material  exposure  to 
economic, environmental and social sustainability risks.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and 
responsibly

A 
listed  entity  should  pay  director  remuneration 
sufficient to attract and retain high quality directors and 
design its executive remuneration to attract, retain and 
motivate high quality senior executives and to align their 
interests with the creation of value for security holders.

Corporate Governance Statement
for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

Remuneration Committee

The  purpose  of  this  Committee  is  to  assist  the  Board 
and  report  to  it  on  remuneration  and  issues  relevant 
to  remuneration  policies  and  practices  including  those 
for  senior  management  and  non-executive  Directors. 
These policies are included in the Company’s Corporate 
Governance  Charter.  Its  current  members  are  Harvey 
Parker (Chairman) and Andrew Kemp. 

Harvey  Parker  and  Andrew  Kemp  are  independent 
Directors  and  its  composition  does  not  fully  comply 
with the recommendations in 8.1 of the ASX Corporate 
Governance Guidelines as 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.

Among the functions performed by the Committee are 
the following:

a)  Review  and  evaluation  of  market  practices  and 

trends on remuneration matters;

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

c)  Oversight  of 

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

The  Company’s  polices  relating  to  Non-Executive 
Directors’ and Executive 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

Equity-Based Remuneration Scheme

The  Company  does  not  currently  operate  an  equity-
based remuneration scheme.

1. 

Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies

(b)  Principles of consolidation

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 Financial Statements were authorised by the Board 
of Directors for issue on 23 August 2016.

Historical cost convention 

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

Critical accounting estimates 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity 
with IFRS 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).

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the 
assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  PTB  Group 
Limited  (“company”  or  “parent  entity”)  as  at  30  June 
2016 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 28. 

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

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

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

(c)  Segment reporting

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

(d)  Foreign currency translation     

(i) 

Functional and presentation currency

Items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of 
the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of 
the primary economic environment in which the entity 
operates  (‘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

for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies(continued)

(d)  Foreign currency translation 

  (continued) 

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.

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 the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.

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

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

(f)  Unearned revenue

Tax consolidation legislation

includes  amounts  received 

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

(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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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).

(h)  Leased assets 
  (continued) 

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 
income,  unless  they  are  directly 
directly  against 
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 
transferred,  equity 
liabilities 
instruments 
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.

39

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

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.

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished 
goods

Fair value estimation

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 
receivables,  held-to-maturity 
income, 
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 
investments  or 
profit  and 
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.

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).

Accounting Policies (continued)

(p)  Property, plant and equipment

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

SL

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.

Intangibles

Goodwill

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

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  the  cash  generating  units  for 
the  purpose  of  impairment  testing.    The  allocation  is 
made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-
generating  units  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from 
the  business  combination  in  which  the  goodwill  arose, 
identified according to operating segments (note 26)..

Computer software

in  acquiring  software  and 

Costs 
licenses 
that  will  contribute  to  future  period  financial  benefits 
through  revenue  generation  and/or  cost  reduction  are 
capitalised to software and systems.  Costs capitalised 
include  external  direct  costs  of  materials  and  service, 
direct  payroll  and  payroll  related  costs  of  employees’ 
time  spent  on  the  project.      Computer  software  has  a 
finite  life  and  is  carried  at  cost  less  any  accumulated 
amortisation  and  any  impairment  losses.  Computer 
software  is  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  its 
estimated useful life.  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

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 
and 
liabilities  and  highly  probable  forecast 
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 
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 

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 
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  

ANNUAL REPORT 2016PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES42

for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

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’.

be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or 
cash flows of hedged items.

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

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

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

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

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

Profit sharing and bonus plans

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

(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.

Summary of Significant  
Accounting Policies (continued)

(ab)  Rounding of amounts

(x)  Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

(y)  Dividends

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

(z)  Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share

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

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

The  company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  legislative 
instrument  2016/191  relating  to  the  “rounding  off” 
of amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the 
financial statements have been rounded off in accordance 
with that legislative instrument to the nearest thousand 
dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

(ac)   General

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

22 Orient Avenue 
Pinkenba QLD 4008

(ad)  Critical accounting estimates and 
judgements

The  Group  evaluates  estimates  and 
judgements 
incorporated into the financial report based on historical 
knowledge  and  best  available  current 
information. 
Estimates  assume  a  reasonable  expectation  of  future 
events  and  are  based  on  current  trends  and  economic 
data, obtained both externally and within the company.  
Key  estimates  and  judgements  impacting  the  financial 
statements are as follows:

Impairment

impairment 

The  Group  tests  six  monthly  whether  goodwill  has 
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. 

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

Long Service Leave (LSL)

■■

■■ 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; 
receivables  and  payables  which  are 
For 
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.

■■

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

Hire Purchase Receivables

engine maintenance and is a supplier of spare parts for 
the aircraft under lease to the LT HP debtors maintenance 
department.

(af)  New accounting standards and 
interpretations

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations 
have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  30 
June  2016  reporting  periods  and  have  not  been  early 
adopted by the Group. The following new standards are 
to be applied in future periods.

(i)  AASB 9 Financial instruments (application date 1 
January  2018).  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. 

(ii)  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
(application  date  1  January  2018).  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.

(iii) AASB  16  Leases  (application  date  1  January 
2019). This standard sets out the principles for 
the recognition, measurement, presentation and 
disclosure of leases.by lessees and lessors

(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.

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.

Property, Plant and Equipment

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

Non-current assets pledged as security

Refer note 13 for information on non-current assets pledged as security.

A deferred tax asset of $4.918 million (2015: $4.97 million) has been recognised at 30 June 2016.This includes 
$3.475  million  attributable  to  prior  years’  income  tax  losses  carried  forward  (2015:  $3.099  million).  Based 
on  management  forecast  of  expected  future  taxable  profits  and  the  reversal  of  the  temporary  differences,  it  is 
considered probable that these deferred tax assets will be recovered in the future.

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% (2015: 11.7%) based on the Group’s weighted 
average cost of capital of 8.9% (2015: 8.2%).  A perpetual growth rate beyond the forecast period of 3% (2015: 
3%) has been used.  Management determined budgeted cash flows based on past performance and Directors’ best 
estimates over a five year period.

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions

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

Provision is made for the estimated expenditure required to restore the leasehold premises to an acceptable standard 
at the end of the lease term.

(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 2016: $313,000 (2015: $388,000) 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.

17.  Contributed Equity (continued)

Capital Risk Management

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

22.  Share-based Payments

Employee Share Option Scheme

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

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

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

Options granted under the scheme carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible 
into one ordinary share for cash. Amounts 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.

25.  Financial Risk Management and Other Financial Instrument Disclosures

Financial Risk Management

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

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

(a) 

Market risk

(i) 

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial 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

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

(a)  Market risk (continued)

Group sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2016, 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 $461,000 lower/$377,000 higher (2015: profit $320,000 lower/$262,000 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 $461,000 lower/$377,000 higher (2015: $320,000 lower/$262,000 higher) had the 
Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar due to the reasons noted above.  

It is 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.

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

(ii) 

Price risk

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

(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 2016 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 (2015: immaterial).

Net Fair Values

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

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

for the year ended 30 June 2016 (Continued)

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

(b)  Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

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

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

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

■■

■■

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 2016 the largest 10 debtors 
made up approximately 84% (2015: 71%) of total receivables.  The largest debtor is a long term customer in 
the Maldives and includes trade receivables and maintenance contract receivables. This customer accounts for 
28% (2015: 9%) of total receivables.  

■■

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

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

(c)  Liquidity risk 

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

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

26.  Segment Information (continued)

Other segment information

(i) Segment revenue

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

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

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

The Group is domiciled in Australia. The amount of its revenue from external customers in Australia is $9.537 million 
(2015: $6.438 million) and the total revenue from external customers in other countries is $33.633 million (2015: 
$29.558 million). Segment revenues are allocated based on the country in which the customer is located.

(ii) Adjusted EBITDA

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

This measurement basis excludes the effects of non recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as, 
unrealised gains / (losses) on foreign currency 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:

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.
