Pacific Turbine Brisbane

Pacific Turbine Brisbane delivered a net profit before tax (excluding FX) of $3.928 million (2018: $4.142 million). 
The commissioning of the new PT6 Test Cell was a key focus and a major milestone for the business. While this 
did cause disruptions to the workshops throughout the year, management is confident about the opportunities 
that it will provide in future years.

The parts sales team had an excellent year, consistently exceeding management targets and building strong 
customer relationships. The improved results are providing a significant boost to the returns that the business 
continues to derive from long term engine maintenance contracts.

Pacific Turbine USA 

Pacific Turbine USA returned a net profit before tax (excluding FX) of $0.549 million (2018: $0.074 million loss).  
The business provided a solid financial result while continuing to focus on providing excellent support to the 
Brisbane business.

Pacific  Turbine  USA  now  supplies  a  large  portion  of  the  parts  used  by  the  PT6  workshop  in  Brisbane  and 
manages the repairs of piece parts in the USA. Its physical location and experienced staff has delivered significant 
savings to the Brisbane business.

The business has also grown its own sales throughout the year and will look to make continued improvements 
in the new year.

CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Pacific Turbine Leasing

Pacific Turbine Leasing contributed a net profit before tax (excluding FX) of $0.641 million (2018: $0.565 million). 
The business generates consistent returns from the current fleet of aircraft and engines on lease to long-term 
customers.

Four new leased aircraft were added to the portfolio during the year, with a number of other transactions currently 
being negotiated. The Group is committed to growing this business due to the additional sales opportunities it 
provides across the Group.

International Air Parts (IAP)

The IAP business returned a net profit before tax (excluding FX) of $1.855 million (2018: $1.393 million), with all 
product lines ahead of the prior year. The Airframe division continues to provide consistent results and meet 
management  expectations,  while  the  Engines  division  continues  to  grow. The  business  has  made  significant 
investments in stock for the engine parts business with this expected to provide a consistent flow of revenue for 
the business into the future.

Corporate Overheads

Corporate overheads costs were $1.659 million (2018: $1.598 million). This includes all head office and corporate 
costs,  including  Group  management,  the  board  and  the  central  finance  function.  There  were  no  significant 
changes during the year.

Balance Sheet and Net Assets

The net asset position has increased from $47.315 million as at 30 June 2018 to $50.966 million at 30 June 2019. 
Total debt has increased from $16.339m to $20.317m during the year. This includes new funding for four leased 
aircraft and the final draw downs against the Test Cell loan. 

Cash Flows

The overall cash balance at the end of the year was $7.174m (2018: $4.184m).

Operating: Cash flows from operating activities were $4.193 million (2018: $3.910 million).

Financing: New borrowings for leased aircraft and the balance of the Test Cell added $5.614m. These were partly 
offset by $2.194m of principal repayments and $1.294m of dividend payments.

PTB Group Growth Outlook

Management and the Board are confident that the improvements in performance seen in FY19 will continue into 
FY20. The management and staff in all businesses are performing very well and delivering results.

The Group continues to focus on the following areas:

 » Utilise the relationships with our Japanese business partners to grow Pacific Turbine Leasing;

 » Grow (and renew) engine management programs for PTB, leveraging off growth in Pacific Turbine Leasing;

 »

Improve efficiency, capacity and capabilities for the Pacific Turbine Brisbane workshops;

 » Build capacity and capabilities for Pacific Turbine USA; and

 » Maintain and grow sales in all businesses.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Overview of Group Businesses

Pacific Turbine Brisbane

Pacific  Turbine  Brisbane  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.

Pacific Turbine Brisbane’s engine management programs (PTB-EMProgram) are the main driver of its success 
and  consistent  returns.  Under  these  programs,  Pacific  Turbine  Brisbane  provides  a  comprehensive  engine 
management service in return for consistent monthly payments. These plans provide Pacific Turbine Brisbane 
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 Pacific Turbine Brisbane engine business. The focus on the 
PT6A engine has allowed Pacific Turbine Brisbane to build specialist knowledge and significantly reduce the 
whole of life costs of operating and maintaining these engines. The addition of the PT6A test cell during the year 
is very exciting and will provide cost savings and a number of new opportunities for the business.

The TPE331 engine is also a contributor to Brisbane’s profitability but it is a mature engine with a slowly declining 
operator base.  Pacific Turbine Brisbane has a number of TPE331 engine management contracts, which assist 
the business to maintain profitability in line with the declining operator base.

The  Group  continues  to  invest  in  plant,  people  and  processes  that  improve  efficiencies  and  profitability  and 
execute on organic growth opportunities. Our engine overhaul shops are primarily geared to produce engines for 
our contract customers.

Pacific Turbine USA

The business is based around a similar model to the Pacific Turbine Brisbane business but is focused on the 
North American market.  This business has strategic supply agreements with a number of businesses in the USA 
that supply the engine repair and overhaul services required to support customers in North America. 

The  business  is  based  in  Miami,  Florida.  The  President,  DJ  Davant  has  extensive  experience  in  the  aviation 
industry and is a very good match for the growing business.

Pacific Turbine USA is responsible for coordinating the purchasing and repair of all PT6A parts for the Group. 
The business is able to deliver savings across the Group by consolidating inventory, increasing purchasing power 
and reducing freight costs. 

The ongoing 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.

Pacific Turbine Leasing

Pacific Turbine Leasing is the Group business responsible for all rental and leasing activities for the Group. This 
includes a fleet of freight and passenger aircraft and a large number of lease and rental engines. Prior to FY17, 
these assets had been spread across the Group. 

Growing the fleet of leased aircraft and engines is a key strategy for the Group. The business is actively seeking 
quality leasing opportunities to grow the fleet of leased assets and provide additional returns across the Group. 
The  Group  has  relationships  with  a  number  of  Japanese  investors  that  are  keen  to  share  in  these  mutually 
beneficial opportunities.

Pacific Turbine Leasing fits in with other core business as it allows for cross selling of parts and maintenance of 
engines under engine management plans.  Contracts in Pacific Turbine Leasing are typically long term in nature, 
with high retention rates, offering consistent earnings.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REVIEW
For the year ended 30 June 2019

International Air Parts (IAP) 

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 and engine parts, aircraft engines and engine repair and overhaul 
services from its own vast stockholding and a comprehensive supplier network. 

The IAP business is split into two main divisions: Engines and Airframe Parts.

The Engines division manages repairs and overhauls of engines on behalf of its customers. It also manages the 
tear down of engines and sells a range of engine parts. The division is currently focused on Rolls Royce engines. 
The knowledge in the engine division enables team members to work across a number of turbine engine types 
and extract maximum returns from all opportunities.

The Airframe division has focused on Fokker, SAAB and British Aerospace airframes. It also has a major role in 
supporting the customers of Pacific Turbine Leasing. 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.

6

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019DIRECTORS’ REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

The Group has two main growth strategies:

Further development of the engine business in America through Pacific Turbine USA. The business sells PT6 
engines, parts and management programs similar to the PTB business.

Strategic relationships with established engine shops in the USA allow the USA business to expand operations 
with no fixed capital requirements and greatly reduced risk.

The second key growth path for the business is aircraft leasing. The Group will grow the fleet of leased assets 
and  provide  additional  returns  across  the  Group.  The  Group  has  relationships  with  a  number  of  Japanese 
investors that are keen to share in these mutually beneficial opportunities.

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 
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.

Except as noted, the named persons held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the 
end of the financial year.

B. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Non-executive Directors

Non-executive  Directors  are  to  be  paid  out  of  Group  funds  as  remuneration  for  their  services,  such  sum  as 
accrues on a daily basis as the Group 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 $200,000 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  Group  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 Group business, to be paid extra remuneration determined by the Board.  

Directors are also entitled to their reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred in attending 
Group or Board meetings, or meetings of any committee engaged in the Group’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. 

9

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019DIRECTORS’ REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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 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:

 » Competitiveness and reasonableness;

 » Acceptability to shareholders;

 » Performance alignment of compensation;

 » Transparency; and

 » Capital management.

Executive Directors

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

 » Base pay and benefits, including superannuation; and

 » Short-term performance incentives.

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

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

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

As advised in the following “Section C. Details of Remuneration”, no short-term incentives were paid to Executive 
Directors during the financial year (2018: Nil).

10

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019DIRECTORS’ REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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  Group,  an  Employee  Share 
Option Scheme (“the Scheme”) is in place.  The incentive provided by the scheme will be of material benefit to 
the Group in encouraging the commitment and continuity of service of the recipients.  By providing executives 
and  employees  with  a  personal  financial  interest  in  the  Group,  the  Group  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 Group.

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 Group).

As advised in the following “Section E Share-Based Payment Compensation” no options were issued under the 
scheme during the year (2018: 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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 
not been followed, this fact must be disclosed together

When  a  vacancy  exists,  through  whatever  cause,  or

the Board considers a panel of candidates identified 
and selected by the Board having regard to:

Group;

Responsibilities of the Managing Director and 
Senior Management

with those of the existing Directors; and

d)  the perceived compatibility of the candidates with 

the Group and with the existing Directors.

considered by the Board with advice from an external 
consultant  as  considered  by  the  Board  to  be

suitable candidates who (assuming that they consent 
to  act  as  Directors)  continue  in  office  only  until  the

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  Group’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.

Service Agreements with Senior Management 
and Company Secretary

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.

Diversity Policy

The  Board  aims  to  create  a  corporate  culture  that 
embraces  diversity  by  applying  transparent  merit

to 

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.

Best  practice  recommendations 
issued  by  ASX 
recommend  a  separate  disclosure  of  measurable 
objectives  for  measuring  gender  diversity  and  the

The  Board  is  of  the  view  that  given  the  size  of  the 
Group 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

individual  Directors  is  evaluated  annually  by  the 
Chairman in accordance with the Group’s Corporate 
Governance Charter. This review includes the mix and 
experience and skills represented, the effectiveness of

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. 

Senior Management Evaluation Process

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

Nominations Committee

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

Given  the  size  of  the  Group  and  of  the  Board  the 
responsibility for this function rests with the Board.

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 Group 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

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 
Group’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 Group or an 
officer  of,  or  otherwise  associated,  directly  or 
indirectly,  with  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the 
Group;

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 Group; 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 Group.

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.

within  the  Group  with  the  Managing  Director  and 
Chief  Financial  Officer  having  ultimate  responsibility

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.

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 Group’s 

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Corporate  Governance  Charter.  Its  current  members 
are Craig Baker (Chairman), Russell Cole and Andrew 
Kemp. 

Russell  Cole  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  is  not  chaired  by  an 
independent  director.    The  Board  believes  this  is 
acceptable given the size of the Group, 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 
Group’s remuneration policies and procedures;

c)  Oversight  of 

the  performance  of 

senior 

management and non-executive Directors; and

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

The  Group’s  polices  relating 
to  Non-Executive 
Directors’  and  Executive  Directors  and  Senior 
Executives’  remuneration  are  set  out  in  the  annual 
report.

It  is  the  Group’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 Group does not currently operate an equity-based 
remuneration scheme.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Notes to the Financial Statements

1.   Summary of Significant  

Accounting Policies

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

(a)  Basis of preparation 

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 Company 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 30 August 2019.

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 Company’s 
accounting  policies.  The  areas  involving  a  higher 
degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where 
assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements are disclosed in note 1(ad).

(b)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the 
assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of PTB Group 
Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 
2019  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 
  The 
entity  operates 
consolidated  financial  statements  are  presented  in 
Australian  dollars,  which  is  PTB  Group  Limited’s 
functional and presentation currency.

(‘functional  currency’). 

(ii)  Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the 
functional  currency  using 
rates 
prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.    Foreign 
losses  resulting  from  the 
exchange  gains  and 

the  exchange

settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 
translation  at  year-end  exchange  rates  of  monetary 
foreign 
liabilities  denominated 
assets  and 
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.

in 

 (e)  Revenue recognition

The  Group  recognises  revenue  when  it  transfers 
control  over  a  product  or  service  to  a  customer.  
Revenue  is  measured  based  on  the  consideration 
specified in a contract with a customer and excludes 
amounts collected on behalf of third parties. 

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 
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.

income  are 

recognised 

in 

(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 
such 
instruments  designated  as  hedges  of 
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.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

(e)  Revenue recognition (continued)

The following table provides further information about the major business activities of the Group, including the 
nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers and the related 
revenue recognition policies of the Group:

Type of product/service

Revenue recognition including nature and timing of satisfaction of 
performance obligations and significant payment terms

Sale  of  goods,  including  turbine 
engines, aircraft and related parts. 

The Group recognises revenue once a customer takes control of the part, 
engine or aircraft.  

For  parts  sales,  this  is  deemed  to  occur  once  the  items  have  been 
dispatched  to  the  customer.  While  this  is  also  generally  the  case  for 
engine  and  aircraft  sales,  there  are  occasions  where  customers  are 
deemed to have taken control of these goods prior to shipment. In these 
cases,  appropriately  completed  sales  documents  demonstrate  the 
transfer of control to the customer.

Payment terms will vary depending on the relationship with the customer. 
These can include prepayment and credit terms (usually 30 days).  

The  services  performed  can  range  from  minor  part  repairs  to  engine 
overhauls. With repairs and overhauls, the Group is enhancing the state 
of  the  engine/part,  however  the  asset  remains  under  the  customer’s 
control.

Revenue is recognised in line with the Group’s satisfaction of performance 
obligations. In many cases, this is at the completion of the job, however 
for  larger  jobs,  revenue  is  taken  up  progressively  in  line  with  the 
percentage of completion.

Payment terms will vary depending on the relationship with the customer. 
These can include prepayment and credit terms (usually 30 days).  

The Group enters into engine maintenance agreements with customers. 
While the detailed terms of each contract vary, they all include the supply 
of a combination of parts, engines and workshop services over the term 
of the agreement. 

The Group invoices customers monthly across the term of the contracts. 
The monthly invoices are usually based on engine utilisation for the prior 
month and are payable on credit terms of up to 30 days.

Revenue recognition is based on the timing of the supply of goods and 
services under these agreements rather the timing of the invoicing. The 
Group uses the same approaches explained above to determine when to 
recognise  revenue  for  parts,  engines  and  workshop  services  supplied 
under engine maintenance agreements.

Revenue from the lease, hire or rental of engines and aircraft is recognised 
as the services are provided. These may include a combination of fixed 
monthly charges and variable charges based on engine/aircraft utilisation 
each  month.  These  are  billed  and  paid  on  a  monthly  basis  and  can 
include credit terms of up to 30 days.

The  Group  recognises  interest  revenue  in  relation  to  financing 
arrangements provided on aircraft and engines. This interest revenue is 
recognised  by  the  Group  on  a  progressive  basis  over  the  term  of  the 
contract.

Monthly  instalments  including  interest  and  principal  repayments  are 
paid by the customer as per the terms of the finance agreement. 

Repair  and  overhaul  of  turbine 
engines and related parts.

Engine maintenance contracts.

Lease, hire or rental of aircraft and 
turbine engines.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

(f)  Unearned revenue

Tax consolidation legislation

Unearned  revenue  includes  amounts  received  in 
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 
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.

taxable 

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

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

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

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

implemented 

PTB  Group  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian 
tax 
controlled  entities  have 
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 
its 
interim  funding  amounts  to  assist  with 
obligations  to  pay  tax  instalments.    The  funding 
amounts  are  recognised  as  current  intercompany 
receivables or payables. 

(h)  Leased assets

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

As lessor

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

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

As lessee

Assets  held  under  finance 
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 

leases  are

For the year ended 30 June 2019

lease.  The  corresponding  liability  to  the  lessor  is 
included  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  as  a 
finance lease obligation, net of finance charges.

Lease  payments  are  apportioned  between  finance 
charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to 
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability.  Finance charges are charged 
directly  against  income,  unless  they  are  directly 
attributable  to  qualifying  assets,  in  which  case  they 
are  capitalised  in  accordance  with  the  consolidated 
entity’s  general  policy  on  borrowing  costs.    Refer  to 
note 1(t).

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

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

(i)  Business combinations

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to 
account  for  all  business  combinations  regardless  of 
whether  equity  instruments  or  other  assets  are 
acquired.    The  consideration  transferred  for  the 
acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the fair value of 
the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments  issued  or 
liabilities 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.   

liabilities  assumed 

Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred. 
liabilities  and 
Identifiable  assets  acquired  and 
contingent 
in  a  business 
combination  are,  with  limited  exceptions,  measured 
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.  On 
the  Group 
an  acquisition-by-acquisition  basis, 
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 
in 
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes 
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

liabilities  on 

(l)  Trade and other receivables

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

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 
basis.  Debts which are known to be uncollectible are 
written off by reducing the carrying amount directly.  
A provision for impairment is recognised in accordance 
with AASB 9: Financial Instruments. Refer to note 1(n) 
for  further  details  on  the  Group’s  financial  asset 
impairment policy. 

The  amount  of  the  provision  is  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income.

For the year ended 30 June 2019

(m)  Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods

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

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

(n)  Financial instruments 

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised 
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. 

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  initially 
measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction costs  that  are 
directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  or  issue  of 
financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  (other  than 
financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from 
the  fair  value  of  the  financial  assets  or  financial 
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. 

Trade  receivables  that  do  not  contain  a  significant 
financing  component  are  initially  measured  at  the 
transaction price.

Classification and subsequent measurement of 
financial assets

Financial  assets,  other  than  those  designated  and 
effective  as  hedging  instruments,  are  classified  into 
the following categories:

 » Amortised cost

 »

 »

Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

Fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income 
(FVOCI)

The  classification  is  determined  by  both  the  entity’s 
business model for managing the financial asset and 
the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the 
financial asset. 

Financial  assets  that  meet  the  following  conditions 
are measured subsequently at amortised cost: 

 »

 »

the financial asset is held within a business model 
whose objective is to hold financial assets in order 
to collect contractual cash flows; and

the  contractual  terms  of  the  financial  asset  give 
rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely 
payments of principal and interest on the principal 
amount outstanding. 

The Group currently has no financial assets at FVTPL 
or FVOCI. 

Impairment of financial assets

In  relation  to  the  impairment  of  financial  assets,  an 
expected credit loss model is adopted where expected 
credit  losses  and  changes  in  those  expected  credit 
losses  are  accounted  for  at  each  reporting  date  to 
reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition 
of the financial asset. 

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial 
instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected 
credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial 
instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial 
recognition. However, if  the  credit  risk  on  a financial 
instrument has not increased significantly since initial 
recognition,  the  Group  measures  the  loss  allowance 
for  that  financial  instrument  at  an  amount  equal  to 
12-months ECL.

The Group considers a broader range of information 
when  assessing  credit  risk  and  measuring  expected 
credit losses, including past events, current conditions, 
reasonable and supportable forecasts that may affect 
the expected collectability of the future cash flows of 
the instrument. A more detailed analysis is performed 
on the outstanding trade receivables listing as at 30 
June  to  ensure  the  predicted  current  exposure  is 
adequately covered by the calculated ECL. 

Classification and subsequent measurement of 
financial liabilities

The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  include  borrowings, 
trade and other payables. 

Financial  liabilities  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method 
except 
liabilities 
for  derivatives  and  financial 
designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently 
at  their  fair  value  with  gains  or  losses  recognised  in 
profit or loss. 

Derecognition

Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when 
the 
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
asset  expire,  or  when  the  financial  asset  and 
substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. 

A  financial  liability  is  derecognised  when  it  is 
extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

(o)  Leasehold improvements

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

(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.

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.

is  greater  than 

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.

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:

(q)  Intangibles

Goodwill

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

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

Computer software

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

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of 
transaction  costs 
  Borrowings  are 
incurred. 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost.    Any 
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction 
costs)  and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in

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

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

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

(t)  Borrowing costs

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

(u)  Derivatives and hedging activities

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

The Group designates certain derivatives as either:
 » Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets and 
liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges);
 » Hedges  of  the  cash  flows  of  recognised  assets 
forecast 
liabilities  and  highly  probable 

and 
transactions (cash flow hedges); or

 » Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation 

(net investment hedges).

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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.

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 
of 
in 
ultimately 
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.

Cash flow hedge

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

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 
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 

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’.

(v)  Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-
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.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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 

for  restructuring  pursuant 

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 
to 
recognises  costs 
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. 

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

Profit sharing and bonus plans

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

(w)  Provisions

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

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

(x)  Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

Share-based payments

(y)  Dividends

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.

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

(ad)   Critical accounting estimates  

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

and judgements

The  Group  evaluates  estimates  and  judgements 
incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on 
historical  knowledge  and  best  available  current 
information.  Estimates 
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:

assume 

a 

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

Impairment

 » Where  the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  it  is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an 
asset or as part of an item of expense; 

 »

For receivables and payables which are recognised 
inclusive  of  GST.    The  net  amounts  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation 
authority  is  included  as  part  of  receivables  or 
payables; or

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

(ab)  Rounding of amounts

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.

The  Group  tests  six  monthly  whether  goodwill  has 
suffered  any  impairment  in  accordance  with  the 
accounting policy stated in note 1(j).  The recoverable 
amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been 
determined based on value-in-use calculations.  These 
calculations require the use of assumptions.  Refer to 
note  11  for  details  of  these  assumptions  and  the 
potential impact of changes to the assumptions. 

Long Service Leave (LSL)

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

Hire Purchase Receivables

Management  applies  judgement  in  assessing  the 
recoverability  of  its  hire  purchase  receivables.  The 
Group assesses both the current payment performance 
and  operational  knowledge  of  the  debtor’s  business 
operation as the Group is in regular contact with the 
debtor.

(ac)  General

(ae)  Fair value of assets and liabilities 

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:

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

the  requirements  of 

22 Orient Avenue 
Pinkenba QLD 4008

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 
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 

regard 

to

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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. 

(af)   Changes in significant accounting policies 

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 9: Financial Instruments

In  the  current  year,  the  Group  has  initially  applied 
the  classification, 
AASB  9,  which  addresses 
measurement  and  derecognition  of  financial  assets 
and  financial  liabilities  as  well  as  provides  a  new 
impairment model for financial assets. The Group has 
adopted  this  new  standard  from  1  July  2018,  and 
following a detailed assessment, has concluded there 
has  been  no  material  impact  on  the  Group  and  no 
adjustments  or 
restatements  of  comparative 
information in the current year were required. 

(ag)   New accounting standards and 

interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations 
have  been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  30 
June 2019 reporting periods and have not been early 
adopted  by  the  Group. The  following  new  standards 
are to be applied in future periods:

(i)  AASB 16 Leases: significant revisions to accounting 
for operational leases by Lessees of property and 
high value equipment. Exemptions for short term 
leases and leases of low value assets will reduce 
the  impact.  Impact:  The  Group  will  adopt  this 
standard  in  July  2019.  The  adoption  of  this 
standard has been assessed by reviewing existing 
operating leases. The review has determined that 
the  adoption  of  the  standard  will  have  an 
immaterial 
liabilities  and 
expenses.

impact  on  assets, 

a 

provides 

recognition 

The  Group  has  initially  applied  AASB  15  from  1  July 
2018.  The  standard  replaces  existing  guidance  on 
new 
and 
revenue 
comprehensive  framework  for  determining  whether, 
how much and when revenue is recognised. The core 
principle of the standard is that revenue is recognised 
when control of a good or service has been transferred 
to the customer. The transitional provisions in AASB 
15  require  companies  to  adopt  the  new  rules 
retrospectively. 

Following a comprehensive review of how revenue has 
previously been recognised, the Group has determined 
that  existing  recognition  policies  are  already  aligned 
with  the  requirements  of  AASB  15  and  that  revenue 
has  historically  only  been  recorded  once  control  of 
goods/services  had  been  passed  to  a  customer. 
Therefore,  the  adoption  of  AASB  15  had  no  material 
impact on revenue recognised and no adjustments or 
restatements  of  comparative  information  in  the 
current year were required.

Maintenance contract receivables

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

Extended credit receivables

Extended  credit  receivables  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.

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 $1.618 million (2018: $2.472 million) has been recognised at 30 June 2019. This includes 
$0.530  million  attributable  to  prior  years’  income  tax  losses  carried  forward  (2018:  $1.007  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  13.4%  (2018:  14.6%)  based  on  the  Group’s 
weighted average cost of capital of 9.4% (2018: 10.2%).  A perpetual growth rate beyond the forecast period of 
3% (2018: 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

(a) Remediation Provisions

Provision was made for the estimated expenditure required to restore the leasehold premises to an acceptable 
standard at the end of the lease term. This lease was terminated during the 2019 year and a payment was made 
as full and final settlement of the Group’s obligations under the lease.

(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 2019: $314,000 (2018: $298,000) 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)

Effective 1 July 1998, the Corporations legislation in place abolished the concepts of authorised capital and par 
value shares.  Accordingly, the parent does not have authorised capital nor par value in respect of its issued 
shares. All shares rank equally with regards to the Company’s residual assets. The holders of ordinary shares are 
entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.

Options

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

An employee share option scheme was approved by shareholders on 3 June 2005.  Refer to note 22 for details.

Capital Risk Management

The Group’s and the parent entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue 
as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns to shareholders, benefits to other stakeholders, 
and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group defines capital as its equity 
and net debt. There has been no change to capital risk management policies during the year.  

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

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:

Group sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2019, 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 $574,000 higher/$470,000 lower (2018: $532,000 higher/$435,000 lower), mainly as a result of 
foreign exchange gains and losses on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as detailed in 
the above table.

Equity  would  have  been  $574,000  higher/$470,000  lower  (2018:  $532,000  higher/$435,000  lower)  had  the 
Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar due to the reasons noted above.  

64

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2019 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

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.

(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 Australian dollar denominated bank loans) is also not hedged.

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

There are no other interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities.

Group sensitivity

As the majority of the interest rates are fixed, at 30 June 2019 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 (2018: immaterial).

Net Fair Values

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2019

(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 industries;

 » There are a number of individually significant receivables.  For example, at 30 June 2019 the largest 10 debtors 
made up approximately 73% (2018: 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 32% (2018: 25%) 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 and Chase Bank.

(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.

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 and PT USA are derived from repairing, selling, 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. PT Leasing’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  predominantly  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  amount  of  its  revenue  from  external  customers  in 
Australia is $9.207 million (2018: $9.951 million) and the total revenue from external customers in other countries 
is $42.274 million (2018: $30.660 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:

Adjusted EBITDA

Unrealised gain/(loss) on foreign currency

Depreciation and amortisation

Finance costs

Profit/(Loss) before income tax from continuing operations

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT – TO THE MEMBERS OF PTB GROUP LIMITED  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the accompanying financial report of PTB Group  Ltd and controlled entities (the 
Group),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2019,  the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated 
statement of changes in equity, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year  ended 
and notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including: 

(a)    giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its 

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

(b)    complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  Responsibilities  section  of  our  report.  We  are 
independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor  independence  requirements  of  the 
Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the  Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical 
Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant 
to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 
accordance with the Code.  

We  confirm  that the  independence  declaration required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has 
been given to the directors of the company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at 
the time of this auditor’s report. 

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

For the year ended 30 June 2019

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019. These matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do 
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other Than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon   

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report 
and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report  or  our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit  or  otherwise  appears  to  be  materially  misstated.  If, 
based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

Director’s Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error.   

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to 
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an  audit  conducted  in  accordance  with  the  Australian  Auditing  Standards  will  always  detect  a 
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered 
material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the 
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 
fraud of error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting  a  material  misstatement  resulting  from  fraud  is  higher  than  for  one  resulting  from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal controls.  

•  Obtain  an  understanding  of  internal  controls  relevant  to  the  audit  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 Group’s internal controls.  

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern.    If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are 
required  to  draw  attention  in  our  auditor’s  report  to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  financial 
report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.  Our conclusions are based 
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events 
or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 
or  business  activities within the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report.  We  are

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2019

responsible  for  the  direction,  supervision  and  performance  of  the  Group  audit.  We  remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that 
we identify during our audit.  

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 
matters  that  may  reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where  applicable, 
related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters.  We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the remuneration report included in pages 9 to 18 of the directors’ report for the 
year ended 30 June 2019. 

In our opinion the remuneration report of PTB Group Limited for the year ended 30 June 2019 complies 
with s 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The  directors  of  the  company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility 
is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance 
with Australian Auditing Standards.
