the business for higher volume manufacturing of advanced carbon fibre 
components and assemblies in the future. We have invested heavily in 
additional process capability at our Bankstown facilities to accommodate  
higher levels of expected production for the JSF program over the coming years 
and we have established a new facility in Waurn Ponds to support development 
programs for our growing New Technology activities.

Quickstep’s vision is to become a 
world leader in advanced composites 
manufacturing and we are now achieving 
significant progress in technology 
development. To achieve this vision, 
we need to have a highly capable 
management and R&D team, we need 
the necessary assets on the ground 
to manufacture parts and we need 
to undertake several development 
and demonstrator projects to fully 
commercialise and validate our  
New Technology. In FY16 we set about 
putting all these elements in place,  
as a foundation for our future growth  
and expansion.

Our financial results for FY16 reflect our 
continued focus on growth, with sales 
revenue rising from A$39.5 million in FY15 
to A$50.1 million in FY16. This revenue 
increase was predominantly the result 
of aerospace growth for both our C-130J 
and JSF programs. As at 30 June 2016, 
we have a forward order book valued in 
excess of A$120 million. This includes 
committed orders from Lockheed Martin, 
Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems for 
C-130J and JSF Program components. 
Manufacturing under these committed 
orders will extend through to FY19. 
Earnings before interest, tax, research 
and development and significant  
items for FY16 were A$4.0 million,  
up 200% from A$1.3 million in FY15, 
driven by Quickstep’s Aerospace 
Manufacturing activities. 

During the course of FY16, Quickstep 
successfully completed a fully 
underwritten A$22 million (before costs) 
capital raising. The raising is being used 
to fund capital expenditure associated 
with our forward sales pipeline; to 
strengthen our balance sheet by reducing 
short term debt; to set up Quickstep’s 
New Technology R&D and manufacturing 
facility at Waurn Ponds; and enable 
Quickstep to continue to commercialise 
the application of the company’s existing 
technologies. These programs are all in 
line with expectations.

Aerospace saw the ramp-up in 
volumes for JSF and commencement of 
deliveries for vertical tails following the 
qualification for spars, fairings and skins. 
Deliveries were on or ahead of customer 
expectations with JSF meeting the higher 
volume requirements with a 27% increase 
in volume over the prior year. Capital 
investment continues to provide capacity 
for the projected JSF volume growth in 
coming years. 

Our New Technology manufacturing 
site in Waurn Ponds is operational and 
has commenced the production of two 
small volume programs. Several new 
manufacturing projects were commenced 
in FY16, mainly involving the application 
of our advanced composites solutions 
capabilities and adoption of our New 
Technology. These include:

–  Ford Australia: Manufacture of a 

carbon fibre air intake duct for Ford’s 
XR6 Sprint performance car

–  Thales Australia: Development and 
manufacture of a range of composite 
body parts and assemblies, including 
bonnets, mudguards and skirting rails 
for the Hawkei military vehicle

–  Korea Institute of Science and 

Technology (KIST): Manufacture and 
supply of composite manufacturing 
equipment, including our patented  
RST and Qure technologies, to a  
South Korean research institute

$50.6m

Up 23% from $41.3m

With regard to capital expenditure, 
we invested over A$4.0 million in 
FY16 in support of our growth plans 
for our Bankstown and Waurn Ponds 
manufacturing operations. In Bankstown 
this investment has gone into additional 
manufacturing capacity to support the 
contracted C-130J and JSF programs and 
further programs currently in discussion. 
In Waurn Ponds we have invested in the 
establishment of a New Technology R&D 
and manufacturing facility. The Waurn 
Ponds site features a fully operational 
Resin Spray Transfer (RST) cell and Qure 
machine, along with other manufacturing 
equipment to produce advanced 
composite components and assemblies. 
We received grants relating to capital 
of A$0.6 million for the Waurn Ponds 
investment. I would like to take this time 
to acknowledge the support given to us 
for this activity, through the Geelong 
Region Innovation and Investment Fund 
(GRIIF), an initiative funded by the 
Federal and Victorian governments and 
Ford Australia.

FY16 saw a significant strengthening 
of our management team, with the 
recruitment of a number of senior 
management personnel in the fields of 
Operations, Finance, Engineering, Human 
Resources and Business Development. We 
now have a highly capable management 
team, with extensive aerospace, 
broader manufacturing and automotive 
experience, who are experienced in 
establishing and running advanced 
manufacturing facilities globally as well 
as in Australia.

Our R&D team has been significantly 
strengthened with the relocation of our 
Global R&D and Technology Centre from 
Munich, Germany, to Deakin University’s 
Waurn Ponds Campus in Victoria. We 
now have a highly skilled team operating 
there, supported by a long-term Strategic 
R&D and Education Agreement with 
Deakin University. I would like to take 
this opportunity to thank the Victorian 
Government’s investment promotion 
arm, Invest Victoria, for their support 
in this relocation. The team in Germany 
remain focused on R&D projects aligned 
with the Waurn Ponds team and further 
development with European based 
aerospace and automotive customers.

CEO and
Managing Director’s
Report

 
 
 
 
 
I am pleased to report that in FY16 Quickstep has continued to make substantial 
progress towards becoming a leading global provider of advanced composite 
components and manufacturing processes for the aerospace, defence, marine, 
automotive and other transportation sectors. The aerospace manufacturing 
business is growing and profitable. Investment has been boosted in our new 
technology business to enable Quickstep to work on a number of collaborative 
development programs with our customers to deliver future growth.

In FY16 we achieved an increase in 
sales revenue of 27% to A$50.1 million, 
compared to A$39.5 million in the 
previous year. We delivered 35 ship-sets 
to Lockheed Martin for the C-130J 
program in FY16. We also increased the 
production rate of components for the 
Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, with 
558 JSF parts delivered to Northrop 
Grumman in the year and we achieved 
successful qualification of our parts for 
the JSF vertical tails project with BAE 
Systems. The first 32 vertical tail parts 
have been supplied to Marand Precision 
Engineering Pty Ltd (Marand), for the final 
Vertical Tail assembly. 

We have delivered strongly in support 
of our committed Aerospace programs 
at Bankstown. Our firm order book now 
stands in excess of A$120 million, up 67% 
on the prior year, and reflects increased 
orders for Quickstep’s JSF and C-130J 
aerospace contracts.

Our vision is to become a world leader 
in advanced composites manufacturing 
and we have set about achieving this 
through the further industrialisation of 
our process technologies and undertaking 
a number of development programs,  
in two key areas:

– Aerospace Manufacturing:
As a proven manufacturer of advanced 
carbon fibre composite components and 
complex assemblies for the Defence 
Aerospace sector, we are actively in 
discussions with both existing and 
new customers for the increased 
manufacturing of ‘build to print’ 
components

– New Technology: 
Quickstep has developed patented 
process technologies for the 
manufacturing of composite components. 
We are currently collaborating with 
a number of potential customers on 
the development of demonstrator 
parts utilising our proprietary process 
technologies and unique engineered 
solutions. Our intention is to achieve  
strong customer value propositions  
for the supply of exterior panels,  
skins and interior structures for the 
growing Automotive and Aerospace 
composite markets.

Aerospace Manufacturing
Aerospace Manufacturing sales for 
FY16 were up 46% to $49.2 million and 
achieved a gross profit increase of 49% 
compared to the prior corresponding 
period (pcp) underpinned by strong 
JSF growth and higher than average 
production of C-130J wing flaps. The 
increase in profitability from Aerospace 
manufacturing ensures that capital 
expenditure at Bankstown is funded  
by its own earnings.

Capital expenditure programs continued 
in preparation for the planned growth 
in the JSF program and the ramp up 
in Vertical Tail production. In addition, 
significant investment in production 
optimisation of the C-130J project 
was made, with state of the art highly 
automated robotic drilling program 
underway. It is expected that the major 
capital investment will be completed 
during FY17 which will facilitate further 
‘build to print’ growth at Bankstown.

Employment numbers increased at 
Bankstown underpinning both current 
and anticipated sales growth. Employee 
training and development continues as 
the JSF team targets a 100 parts per 
month production rate and the return 
to a long term C-130J production rate of 
24 ship sets per year. This has allowed 
for the transfer of skilled production 
employees into the JSF program.

With the increased volume, 
manufacturing optimisation in the 
key areas of labour utilisation, asset 
performance, inventory and scrap 
reduction remain a key focus of our 
growing Aerospace Manufacturing 
business to optimise performance.

New Technology Industrialisation
Throughout FY16 we continued to advance 
the industrialisation of both our Qure and 
Resin Spray Transfer (RST) technologies 
for use in the aerospace, defence, marine, 
automotive and other transportation 
sectors. These disruptive processes 
provide significant value propositions,  
in terms of cost, process speed and 
quality to our targeted customers and 
these technologies are especially relevant 
to end-users with parts programs in the 
volume range of up to 30,000 units  
per annum.

Our industrialisation activities have 
focussed on development and application 
of both our Qure and RST technologies to 
manufacture components for end-users 
in our targeted industry sectors. Over 
the course of the next 18 months, we 
are targeting a number of niche volume 
projects, while continuing to develop and 
scale-up our next-generation RapidQure 
technology which will provide increased 
volume capability to enable us to secure 
larger production projects. 

Also in FY16 we commenced a number 
of advanced composite projects that are 
establishing our credentials and solution 
capabilities outside the aerospace sector 
and this will lead to additional supply 
opportunities in both the domestic and 
export markets. These projects include 
activities with Ford Australia, Thales 
Australia, Korea Institute of Science and 
Technology (KIST), DCNS Group (a French 
naval shipbuilding company and European 
leader in naval defence), and several 
other composite end-users.

CEO and Managing Director’s Report continued

We look forward  
to another year of  
technology, parts  
development and  
growth in FY17. 

Ford Falcon XR6 Sprint
In early FY16, we secured a contract with 
Ford Australia to manufacture carbon 
fibre air intake ducts for the Ford Falcon 
XR6 Sprint sports car. Manufacturing 
commenced at Waurn Ponds in February 
2016 and successfully demonstrated 
the company’s ability to move from 
contract to production start-up in under 
8 months and to deliver 377 components 
by 30 June. This sports car is the first 
global mass-produced Ford to feature 
a carbon fibre air intake system and 
the first commercial automotive vehicle 
to feature a part made by Quickstep. 
Importantly, the project has shown 
rate production, quality and delivery 
performance capability to Ford which 
provides confidence for future programs. 
It has also provided an opportunity 
to participate in the Automotive 
Transformation Scheme (ATS), an 
AusIndustry fund supporting investment 
in Innovation in the automotive sector. 

Thales Hawkei Project
In October 2015, the Federal Government 
confirmed that Thales Australia was 
successful in securing the supply contract 
to build the next generation of armoured 
vehicles for the Australian Defence Force. 
Quickstep is contracted to manufacture  
a range of composite body parts for 
Thales Australia.

Quickstep has already completed the 
first set of composite parts for Thales 
Australia’s Hawkei light protected vehicle, 
for which it is the exclusive supplier of 
the bonnet, side skirts and mud guards. 
Before the end of September 2016,  
ten sets of parts comprising more than 
190 individual components. Low-volume 
production for this project is expected  
to commence in FY17.

Korea Institute of Science and  
Technology (KIST) 
In April 2016, Quickstep entered into 
an agreement with KIST, a major South 
Korean research centre, to design and 
install an RST cell and Qure machine for 
R&D purposes, supporting the automotive 
and aerospace sectors in South Korea. 
We plan to supply this manufacturing 
equipment to KIST by end of calendar 
2016. The manufacturing system for KIST 
will be optimised for niche- to medium-
volume automotive industry production. 
This contract opens up potential 
component supply opportunities for 
Quickstep in South Korea, one of  
the world’s largest automotive  
production markets.

Collaborative Development Focus
During the year Quickstep decided to 
enter into a number of collaborative 
development projects intended to  
deliver commercial parts for the end-user 
and advance the industrialisation of  
our New Technology offerings.  
These projects involve the design of 
composite alternatives for existing  
metal parts or developing demonstrator 
parts for evaluation or demonstrate 
improved production rates to current 
autoclave processes. Development, 
manufacturing, planning and testing 
for these projects is expected to lead 
to production opportunities with our 
collaboration partners.

Quickstep is currently engaged in several 
development projects with tier-1 industry 
suppliers for interior structures and 
external panels and skins. These projects 
are expected to lead to niche production 
contracts utilising Quickstep’s Qure and 
RST technologies in the near future. 

An example of this collaborative process 
was the Memorandum of Understanding 
(MoU) with DCNS Group, a European 
leader in naval defence. DCNS has been 
selected by Australian Government as 
preferred partner for design of twelve 
submarines for Royal Australian Navy. 
This MoU is for joint cooperation in 
technology transfer, R&D projects and 
component manufacturing opportunities. 

Outlook for FY17
The Quickstep Board and our executive 
management team have established 
targets, strategies and implementation 
plans for FY17 to achieve:

Directors’ Report
30 June 2016

Board Structure & Director Independence 

Insurance of officers and indemnities 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 
Directors’ report 
30 June 2016 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 

Directors’ report 

30 June 2016 

The  Company  continually  monitors  the  structure  and  performance  of  the  Board  to  ensure  it  is  of  an  appropriate  size, 
composition and skill to lead the Company and meet its current governance and strategic needs. 

Except as indicated below, the Group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, indemnified or 

agreed to indemnify an officer of the Group or any of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as an officer. 

The  Chairman  manages  the  Board  to  achieve  responsive  and  effective  business  outcomes  with  highly  committed 
directors. Quickstep has a Remuneration, Nomination and Diversity Committee (RND Committee), whose responsibilities 
include the development and on-going review of Board competencies, structure, performance and renewal. Both the RND 
Committee  Charter  and  “Policy  and  Procedure  for  Selection  and  Appointment  of  Directors”  are  accessible  from  the 
Company’s website as follows. 

(http://www.quickstep.com.au/files/files/359_QHL_RND_Committee_Charter_-_September_2014.pdf 

http://www.quickstep.com.au/files/files/366_QHL_Selection_and_Appointment_of_Directors_Policy_V1_-_02102014.pdf 

The  Policy  and  Procedure  for  Selection  and  Appointment  of  Directors  includes  a  matrix  of  skills  that  are  considered 
necessary  within  the  independent  non-executive  director  group  to  facilitate  an  effective  and  efficient  Board.  The  RND 
Committee periodically reviews both this matrix and the directors’ actual skills mix to ensure they satisfy the current and 
immediately foreseeable needs of the Company. 

The Board maintains a varied level of tenure amongst its directors, which is seen as essential for its effective functioning 
given the significant growth and change experienced by Quickstep in recent years. This has resulted in both an influx of 
fresh ideas and the retention of sufficient Quickstep specific understanding to optimise strategic and operational changes. 
As the business evolves this is continually reviewed. 

The Board is committed to a majority of its directors being independent to ensure the Board acts in the best interest of the 
entity itself, its security holders and stakeholders generally. Director independence is assessed on a regular basis, and all 
directors  are  required  to  advise  the  Board  of  any  actual  or  potential  conflicts  of  interest  as  they  arise,  with  any  such 
conflicts tabled at Board meetings. 

In assessing independence the Board considers a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, the “Factors 
relevant  to  assessing  the  independence  of  a  director”  listed  in  Recommendation  2.3  of  the  Corporate  Governance 
Principles and Recommendations 3rd Edition established by the ASX Corporate Governance Council (‘the ASX Principles 
and Recommendations”).

Directors’ report 

30 June 2016 

Remuneration Report (continued) 

1.  Principles of compensation (continued) 

Compensation levels for key management personnel of the Group are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately 

qualified and experienced directors and executives. The remuneration structures are designed to reward the achievement 

of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. Compensation packages 

include a mix of fixed compensation, short-term cash incentives and equity-based incentives. 

Shares, options or rights may only be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders in a general meeting. 

The  Group  does  not  have  any  scheme  relating  to  retirement  benefits  for  its  key  management  personnel  other  than 

contributions defined under its statutory obligations. 

The Company’s policy is to provide executives with a competitive fixed compensation comparable to the median paid by 

like sized companies undertaking similar work and offers additional short and long term incentives to allow the executive 

to achieve top quartile compensation, if all performance hurdles are met. All incentives are capped. 

The  Company’s  policy  is  to  provide  non-executive  directors  with  a  fixed  fee  comparable  to  the  median  of  that  paid  by 

similar sized ASX listed companies operating in similar fields. Non-executive directors are not eligible for participation in 

Fixed compensation consists of base compensation, as well as statutory employer contributions to superannuation. 

Compensation levels are reviewed annually through a process that considers current labour market rates, the individual's 

contribution and overall performance of the Group. Compensation is also reviewed in the event of promotion or significant 

Performance  linked  compensation  includes  both  short  and  long  term  incentives  and  is  designed  to  reward  key 

management personnel, excluding non-executive directors, for meeting or exceeding the Company's business and their 

personal  objectives.  Each  individual’s  performance  linked  compensation  is  capped  as  a  percentage  uplift  of  fixed 

compensation.  Other  than  as  disclosed  in  this  report,  there  have  been  no  performance-linked  payments  made  by  the 

any of the Company’s incentive schemes.

(a)  Short term incentive 

Cash and equity settled short term incentive 

Certain  executives  receive  short-term  incentives  (STI)  in  cash  and/or  shares  on  achievement  of  key  performance 

indicators  (KPIs).  Each  year,  the  RN&D  Committee  considers  the  appropriate  KPIs  and  associated  targets  to  align 

individual  rewards  to  the  Group’s  desired  performance.  These  targets  may  include  measures  related  to  the  annual 

performance of the Group, and/or specified parts of the Group. 

In  FY16  12  Corporate  KPIs  were  used,  including  five  financial  KPIs,  two  business  development  KPIs,  two  operational 

KPIs and three strategic KPIs. The weighting of corporate KPIs used in the determination of an executive’s STI ranged 

from 70% for functional specialists to 100% for the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer. 

The RN&D Committee is responsible for assessing whether the KPIs have been achieved and meet the criteria set out at 

the beginning of the year. Each year a limited number of corporate KPIs are designated as threshold metrics, with no STI 

payable to any executive if these are not achieved. In FY16 there were two threshold metrics. 

Actual  performance  is  then  assessed  against  both  a  target  outcome  and  a  stretch  outcome.  Generally,  where 

performance falls below the target outcome no payment is made against that KPI and where performance exceeds the 

stretch outcome the stretch cap is payable. Generally, where performance falls between target and stretch outcomes an 

appropriate proportion of the KPI is payable. When the target is achieved 50% of the weighting for the KPIs is payable. 

When both the target and stretch outcomes are achieved 100% of the weighting for the KPIs is payable. 

Where a proportion of STI is payable in shares, the number of shares issued is based on the accrued equity settled STI 

value, less $1,000 which is paid as cash not shares, divided by the weighted average share price on the date the shares 

were/are granted. 

After determining the overall achievement of KPIs based on the above review process, the RN&D Committee has 

recommended no STI is payable in respect of FY16 due to the threshold metrics not being achieved. The Board of 

Quickstep has approved this recommendation.

Directors’ Report
30 June 2016

Remuneration Report (continued) 

1.  Principles of compensation (continued) 

(b) Long term incentive 

Overview 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 
Directors’ report 
30 June 2016 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 

Directors’ report 

30 June 2016 

During  FY16  the  Company  operated  two  long  term  incentive  plans  in  use,  an  Employee  Incentive  Plan  (EIP)  and  an 
Incentive Rights Plan (IRP), but as at 30 June 2016 the EIP ceased to operate due to the departure from the Company of 
Mr. P Odouard, the only executive that held options under that plan. 

Quickstep Employee Incentive Plan (EIP)   

In November 2009 the Company established the Quickstep Employee Incentive Plan (EIP). 

Under  the  EIP,  the  Board  could  grant  options  to  selected  Quickstep  employees  on  such  terms  as  it  determined 
appropriate. Participation in the EIP was open to all employees of the Group, with the Board determining those employees 
eligible to participate in each grant under the EIP, but in practice, options had only been issued to one executive, Mr. P 
Odouard – and due to his departure on 30 June 2016 all entitlements to options have lapsed and the plan has ceased to 
operate. Each option has a conditional right to one Quickstep ordinary share, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable 
performance conditions. 

In general, options granted under the EIP do not vest until the performance criteria specified by the Board at the time of 
the grant have been achieved and provided the participant remains a Group employee. If the performance criteria are not 
satisfied at the end of the applicable performance period the options lapse. The options may lapse in other circumstances 
provided for in the EIP rules, including forfeiture where the employee engages in dishonest or fraudulent conduct, where 
there is a change in control and where the employee ceases employment. Subject to the rules and the term of the grant, 
options  lapse  on  the  seventh  anniversary  of  their  grant  date,  given  consideration  to  the  applicable  claw  back 
arrangements. 

The  options  granted  from  the  EIP  are  subject  to  performance  conditions  based  on  achieving  pre-set  absolute  Total 
Shareholder  Return  (TSR)  targets  over  the  applicable  performance  period.  In  summary,  TSR  combines  share  price 
appreciation over a period and dividends paid during that period to show the total return to shareholders over that period. 
For  the  purposes  of  the  performance  conditions  attached  to  the  options,  TSR  will  be  calculated  as  the  45  day  volume 
weighted average price (VWAP) of Quickstep shares as at a test date (30 June or 31 August). The options vest on the day 
after the test date. This calculation has been adopted bearing in mind Quickstep’s market capitalisation and to ensure the 
performance hurdle and testing process remain appropriate in all the circumstances. All options are subject to a minimum 
three year performance condition from their grant date and are tested annually until they lapse seven years after grant 
date. At each re-testing date TSR hurdles are increased by an annual growth rate as set out in the table below. 

If the Threshold hurdle of TSR is achieved at a test date, 25% of the options in the tranche will vest. If the Target hurdle of 
TSR is achieved at a test date in any given year, 50% of options in the tranche will vest. If the Stretch hurdle of TSR is 
achieved at a test date in any given year 100% of options in the tranche will vest. After the initial vesting period, re-testing 
of  the  performance  conditions  occurs  annually.  Re-testing  will  occur  annually  until  the  options  lapse  and  against  the 
higher TSR hurdle. 

Remuneration Report (continued) 

1.  Principles of compensation (continued) 

(b) Long term incentive (continued) 

Quickstep Incentive Rights Plan (IRP) 

In  November  2013  the  Company  established  the  Quickstep  Incentive  Rights  Plan  (IRP).  The  IRP  was  designed  to 

facilitate  the  Company  moving  towards  best  practice  remuneration  structures  for  executives,  and  offers  under  the  IRP 

have been made to a number of executives since its introduction. 

The IRP authorises the granting of Rights to executives of the Company, in the form of Performance Rights (PRs) and/ or 

Deferred  Rights  (DRs)  and/or  Restricted  Rights  -  (RRs)  (together,  Rights).  These  rights  represent  an  entitlement  on 

vesting to fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of the Company (Shares) and cash with the total value of cash 

and shares being equal to the value of vested Rights (number of vested Rights x market value of a Share). PRs may vest 

if Performance Conditions are satisfied. DRs may vest if service conditions are satisfied. There were no RRs granted in 

FY16 and none arose from PRs or DRs. 

The  Board  has  the  discretion  to  set  the  terms  and  conditions  on  which  it  will  offer  PRs  under  the  IRP,  including  the 

performance  conditions  and  modification  of  the  terms  and  conditions  as  appropriate  to  ensuring  the  IRP  operates  as 

intended. All PRs offered will be subject to performance conditions which are intended to be challenging. 

The PRs are subject to a performance condition based on achieving a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) equivalent 

to or in excess of the ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index (AOAI) over the performance period. The AOAI is an index 

of total shareholder return achieved by ASX listed companies which combines both share price movement and dividends 

paid during the performance period (assuming that they are reinvested into Shares). As a general rule, Quickstep uses a 

performance period of three (3) years with an anniversary date of 1 September each year. 

For vesting to occur the Company's TSR (share price movement plus dividends) over the performance period must be 

positive  (i.e.  if  shareholders  have  not  gained  then  PRs  will  not  vest)  relative  to  the  All  Ordinaries  Accumulation  Index 

(AOAI). If the Company's TSR is positive but the AOAI movement is negative over the performance period then vesting, if 

any, will be at the discretion of the Board (i.e. only applies if the Company has outperformed a general fall in the market by 

protecting against a similar fall in the Company's share price). If the Company's TSR is positive and the movement in the 

AOAI is also positive then the following vesting scale will apply: 

Performance Level 

Below threshold

the performance period

Stretch and above 

120% of AOAI increase 

Vesting % 

0% 

25% Pro-rata 

60% Pro-rata 

100% 

For PRs issued to executives other than Mr. Marino, testing of the TSR hurdle will occur on the third anniversary of the 

commencement  of  the  performance  period  and  then  semi-annually  until  the  rights  lapse  or  the  fifth  anniversary  of  the 

commencement of the performance period. PRs issued to Mr. Marino have various potential vesting dates depending on 

the nature of the PR offer. Once a right has vested it may not become unvested based on performance at a subsequent 

test date. If at a test date some rights have previously vested and the Company’s performance at the test date is higher 

than at previous test dates then additional rights will vest. Such vesting will apply on the basis that the total number of 

rights that have vested from a tranche (previous and current vesting) is equal to the number that would have vested at the 

current test date had no vesting occurred earlier. 

Upon the satisfaction of the performance conditions, the value of PRs granted under the IRP will be evaluated. The Board 

has discretion to vary vesting if it considers it to be appropriate to do so given the circumstances that prevailed over the 

performance  period.  This  provision  aims  to  address  situations  where  vesting  may  otherwise  be  inconsistent  with 

shareholder expectations. 

The IRP contains provisions concerning the treatment of vested and unvested rights in the event that a participant ceases 

employment.  Unless  the  Board  determines  otherwise,  if  a  participant  ceases  employment  in  other  than  special 

circumstances (death, total and permanent disablement, retrenchment, redundancy, permanent retirement from full-time 

work  with  the  consent  of  the  Board  or  other  circumstances  determined  by  the  Board),  all  unvested  rights  held  by  the 

participant will lapse. 

Unless the Board determines otherwise, if a participant ceases employment under special circumstances, rights that were 

granted to the participant during the financial year in which the termination occurred will be lapsed in the same proportion 

as the remainder of the financial year bears to the full year. All remaining rights for which performance conditions have not 

been satisfied as at the date of cessation of employment will then remain "on foot", subject to the original performance 

conditions.

If an employee ceases employment with the Group due to death, disability, bona fide redundancy or any other reason 
which may meet with the approval of the Board, the Board may determine that any unvested options they hold will vest as 
at the date of cessation, having regard to such factors as the Board considers relevant, including pro rata performance 
against the performance condition over the period from the grant date to the date of cessation. If an employee ceases 
employment in these circumstances and holds vested options, they may exercise those options within a 12 month period 
following  the  date  of  cessation  (or,  the  remaining  period  until  the  expiry  of  the  options,  if  less  than  12  months).  If  an 
employee ceases employment for any other reason any unvested options they hold will lapse on the date of cessation 
unless the Board determines otherwise. Any vested options must be exercised within three months.

Quickstep Incentive Rights Plan (IRP) 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 
Directors’ report 
30 June 2016 

In  November  2013  the  Company  established  the  Quickstep  Incentive  Rights  Plan  (IRP).  The  IRP  was  designed  to 
facilitate  the  Company  moving  towards  best  practice  remuneration  structures  for  executives,  and  offers  under  the  IRP 
have been made to a number of executives since its introduction. 
The IRP authorises the granting of Rights to executives of the Company, in the form of Performance Rights (PRs) and/ or 
Deferred  Rights  (DRs)  and/or  Restricted  Rights  -  (RRs)  (together,  Rights).  These  rights  represent  an  entitlement  on 
vesting to fully paid ordinary shares in the issued capital of the Company (Shares) and cash with the total value of cash 
and shares being equal to the value of vested Rights (number of vested Rights x market value of a Share). PRs may vest 
if Performance Conditions are satisfied. DRs may vest if service conditions are satisfied. There were no RRs granted in 
FY16 and none arose from PRs or DRs. 
The  Board  has  the  discretion  to  set  the  terms  and  conditions  on  which  it  will  offer  PRs  under  the  IRP,  including  the 
performance  conditions  and  modification  of  the  terms  and  conditions  as  appropriate  to  ensuring  the  IRP  operates  as 
intended. All PRs offered will be subject to performance conditions which are intended to be challenging. 
The PRs are subject to a performance condition based on achieving a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) equivalent 
to or in excess of the ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index (AOAI) over the performance period. The AOAI is an index 
of total shareholder return achieved by ASX listed companies which combines both share price movement and dividends 
paid during the performance period (assuming that they are reinvested into Shares). As a general rule, Quickstep uses a 
performance period of three (3) years with an anniversary date of 1 September each year. 

For vesting to occur the Company's TSR (share price movement plus dividends) over the performance period must be 
positive  (i.e.  if  shareholders  have  not  gained  then  PRs  will  not  vest)  relative  to  the  All  Ordinaries  Accumulation  Index 
(AOAI). If the Company's TSR is positive but the AOAI movement is negative over the performance period then vesting, if 
any, will be at the discretion of the Board (i.e. only applies if the Company has outperformed a general fall in the market by 
protecting against a similar fall in the Company's share price). If the Company's TSR is positive and the movement in the 
AOAI is also positive then the following vesting scale will apply: 

Performance Level 

Below threshold 
Threshold 

Target 

Stretch and above 

Company's TSR relative to AOAI movement over 
the performance period 
< Increase in the AOAI 
= Increase in the AOAI 
> 100% of AOAI increase & < 110% of AOAI increase 
110% of AOAI increase 
> 110% of AOAI increase & < 120% of AOAI increase 
120% of AOAI increase 

Vesting % 
0% 
25% Pro-rata 

60% Pro-rata 

100% 

For PRs issued to executives other than Mr. Marino, testing of the TSR hurdle will occur on the third anniversary of the 
commencement  of  the  performance  period  and  then  semi-annually  until  the  rights  lapse  or  the  fifth  anniversary  of  the 
commencement of the performance period. PRs issued to Mr. Marino have various potential vesting dates depending on 
the nature of the PR offer. Once a right has vested it may not become unvested based on performance at a subsequent 
test date. If at a test date some rights have previously vested and the Company’s performance at the test date is higher 
than at previous test dates then additional rights will vest. Such vesting will apply on the basis that the total number of 
rights that have vested from a tranche (previous and current vesting) is equal to the number that would have vested at the 
current test date had no vesting occurred earlier. 

Upon the satisfaction of the performance conditions, the value of PRs granted under the IRP will be evaluated. The Board 
has discretion to vary vesting if it considers it to be appropriate to do so given the circumstances that prevailed over the 
performance  period.  This  provision  aims  to  address  situations  where  vesting  may  otherwise  be  inconsistent  with 
shareholder expectations. 
The IRP contains provisions concerning the treatment of vested and unvested rights in the event that a participant ceases 
employment.  Unless  the  Board  determines  otherwise,  if  a  participant  ceases  employment  in  other  than  special 
circumstances (death, total and permanent disablement, retrenchment, redundancy, permanent retirement from full-time 
work  with  the  consent  of  the  Board  or  other  circumstances  determined  by  the  Board),  all  unvested  rights  held  by  the 
participant will lapse. 
Unless the Board determines otherwise, if a participant ceases employment under special circumstances, rights that were 
granted to the participant during the financial year in which the termination occurred will be lapsed in the same proportion 
as the remainder of the financial year bears to the full year. All remaining rights for which performance conditions have not 
been satisfied as at the date of cessation of employment will then remain "on foot", subject to the original performance 
conditions.

Loss  amounts  have  been  calculated  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AASBs).  Return  on  capital 
employed is calculated as Profit before interest and tax (EBIT) divided by total assets less current liabilities. 

The  overall  level  of  compensation  takes  into  account  the  performance  of  the  Group  over  a  number  of  years.  The 
Aerospace Manufacturing segment is now profitable with further growth booked and additional volumes being pursued. 
The Group continues to invest in research and development to deliver new sales in the New Technology segment.

(1)  Equity based STI includes an accrual of estimated STI relating to the current year to be settled through share 

based payments net of any prior year accrual adjustments. 

(2)  Options and rights include the accounting expense attributable to the current year of both the EIP and IRP. 

(3)  The  Short  Term  Incentive  (STI)  is  comprised  of  an  accrued  current  year  cash  bonus  plus  adjustment  for 
differences  between  the  amount  accrued  during  the  prior  financial  year  and  the  amount  paid  in  the  current 
financial  year.  This  adjustment  results  in  a  negative  expense  appearing  in  the  tables  above  in  relation  to 
executives for whom the prior year accrual exceeded the payment made in the current year in respect of the prior 
year.    For FY16, the RN&D Committee has recommended no STI is payable due to the threshold metrics not 
being achieved. The Board of Quickstep has approved this recommendation and it is reflected in the table above. 

(4) 

Includes full year figures for Mr. Odouard – covering both roles in FY16 – Executive Director from1 July 2015 to 
15 October 2015 and as General Manager, Strategy and Business Development (Aerospace & Defence) from 16 
October 2015 until his departure on 30 June 2016. 

(5)  The STI cash bonus for Mr. Quick represents ex-gratia payment for achievements during his interim appointment 
as Executive Chairman from 29 May 2014 to 15 February 2015, The RN&D committee calculated the quantum of 
the payment on the same basis as the current CEO’s STI incentive i.e. 41.5% x 50% x TFR, being only those fees 
relating to his executive duties and not his ongoing chairman fees.

The deductible temporary differences and tax losses do not expire under current tax legislation. Deferred tax assets have 
not  been  recognised  in  respect  of  these  items  because  the  Group  considers  that  it  is  not  currently  probable  that  the 
deferred tax asset will be recovered in the near future.

On 1 November 2011 Quickstep Technologies Pty Ltd, a subsidiary Company of the Group, executed an Export Finance 
Facility Agreement with Australian and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) (Financier) and Export Finance and 
Insurance Corporation (EFIC) (Guarantor) to fund certain capital expenditure. The Agreement provides for a loan facility of 
up to $10,000,000 plus capitalised interest of up to $3,333,000. 

Loan repayments commenced on 30 April 2016, with the final repayment due in 2021. 

Interest is to be capitalised until the maximum facility value of $3,333,333 is reached. At 30 June 2016 the interest facility 
has been drawn to $1,882,000, after paying in this financial year an amount of $83,000 (2015 Nil). 

The  interest  rate  on  the  facility  comprises  a  variable  base  rate,  a  fixed  margin  payable  to  the  Financier  and  a  fixed 
guarantee fee payable to the Guarantor. Unused limit fees are payable to both the Financier and the Guarantor on the 
undrawn principle balance. 

The facility includes an interest rate cap which limits the maximum rate applicable to the base rate for the duration of the 
capitalisation  period  to  5.03%.  This  cap  ensures  that  the  interest  accruing  on  the  facility  remains  within  the  capitalised 
interest limit. The cost of the cap has been recorded as prepaid borrowing cost and is recognised in the profit and loss 
through the effective interest rate method, with a carrying value of $160,000 at 30 June 2016 (2015 $394,000). 

EFIC has agreed to guarantee certain of the subsidiary’s obligations under the facility. The subsidiary has provided EFIC 
with a fixed and floating charge over its assets and undertakings. The carrying value of total assets pledged as collateral 
at  30  June  2016  is  $34,831,000  (2015  $23,173,000)  which  represents  the  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  plant  and 
equipment, inventory and other assets owned by Quickstep Technologies Pty Ltd.

7. Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued) 

(g) 

  Loans and borrowings (continued) 

(ii)  Secured bank loan (continued) 

Under this agreement, Quickstep Technologies Pty Ltd (Chargor) has agreed to the following restrictions on title on any of 

the assets under which EFIC (Chargee) has a fixed charge over. Without the consent of the Chargee, the Chargor may 

not: 

• 

• 

• 

dispose of the Secured Property; or 

lease or license the Secured Property or any interest in it, or deal with any existing lease or licence; or 

part with possession of the Secured Property; or 

•  waive any of the Chargor’s rights or release any person from its obligations in connection with the 

• 

deal in any other way with the Secured Property or any interest in it, or allow any interest in it to arise or 

Secured Property; or 

be varied. 

Quickstep Holdings Limited has entered into a subordination agreement which subordinates certain intercompany debts 

due to it from Quickstep Technologies Pty Ltd to the amounts due under the Export Finance Facility. The face value of this 

subordinated  intercompany  debt  at  30  June  2016  is  $94,570,000  (2015  $88,017,000)  and  its  carrying  value  net  of 

impairment is $55,190,000 (2015 $35,979,000). 

(iii) Short term facility – Efic 

Quickstep  Holdings  Limited  was  party  to  a  short  term  debt  facility  provided  by  the  Export  Finance  and  Insurance 

Corporation. Quickstep repaid this debt facility in full on 31 December 2015. 

(iv) Short term facility – Newmarket loan 

In February 2015 a $3,000,000 debt facility was secured from Newmarket Financing Management Pty Ltd and Associates 

(Newmarket).  This  facility  provided  short-term  working  capital  support  to  assist  Quickstep’s  long  term  growth  as  its 

deliveries  for  the  F-35  Lightning  II  Joint  Strike  Fighter  (JSF)  and  Lockheed  Martin  C-130J  Super  Hercules  programs 

accelerated. 

Quickstep repaid the debt facility in full on 30 October 2015.    At the date of repayment the loan had a carrying value of 

$1,573,475. The $1,426,525 difference between the carrying amount and the $3,000,000 repaid has been recognised in 

the profit and loss as an interest expense. 

The difference is a consequence of the initial fair value of the options noted below being deferred against the $3,000,000 

face value of the loan on inception and then amortised through profit and loss using the effective interest rate method over 

the 18 month term of the loan. For the financial year $720,303 of interest expense has been recognised in profit and loss 

using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  The  total  recognised  interest  expense  on  the  Newmarket  facility  during  the 

financial  year  is,  therefore,  $2,146,555.  The  actual  interest  paid  during  the  financial  year  in  respect  of  this  facility  was 

$121,069. 

As partial consideration for providing the loan, Quickstep has issued 25 million options to Newmarket to acquire ordinary 

shares  in  Quickstep.  These  options  expire  on  31  December  2018.  Following  the  capital  raise  completed  by  Quickstep 

during FY16 the exercise price of the options has been set at 16.25 cents per share. 

The  options  were  revalued  to  a  fair  value  of  2.8  cents  (2015  6.5  cents)  per  share  or  $700,000  at  30  June  2016  (2015 

$1,625,000). The gain of $925,000 (2015 $1,000,000) has been recognised through the profit and loss as finance income 

A Binomial Tree model was used to value these rights per dollar issued. The model's key assumptions were as follows:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 

30 June 2016 

11. Financial instruments – fair values and risk management 

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: 

(a) 

Overview 

•  Credit risk 

• 

Liquidity risk, and 

•  Market risk. 

This  note  presents  information  about  the  Group’s  exposure  to  each  of  the  above  risks,  their  objectives,  policies  and 

processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included 

throughout these financial statements. 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework 

and is responsible for developing and monitoring risk management policies. 

Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk 

limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed 

regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through training and management 

standards  and  procedures,  aims  to  develop  a  disciplined  and  constructive  control  environment  in  which  all  employees 

understand their roles and obligations. 

The Group’s Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s 

risk  management  policies  and  formally  documented  procedures  and  reviews  the  adequacy  of  the  risk  management 

framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. 

(b) 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 

contractual  obligations,  and  arises  principally  from  the  Group’s  receivables  from  customers  and  cash  balances  and 

deposits. 

(i)  Trade receivables 

The  Group’s  exposure  to  credit  risk  is  influenced  mainly  by  the  individual  characteristics  of  each  customer.  However, 

management also considers other characteristics including the demographics of the Group’s customer base, the default 

risk  of  the  industry  and  country  in  which  customers  operate,  as  these  factors  may  have  an  influence  on  credit  risk.   

Goods are generally sold subject to retention of title clauses, so that in the event of non-payment the Group may have a 

secured claim. The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables. 

(ii)  Cash balances and deposits 

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by only investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a 

credit rating of at least A+ from Standard & Poor’s. Given these high credit ratings, management has assessed the risk 

that counterparties fail to meet their obligations as low. 

As at the reporting date, financial assets are neither past due or impaired. 

(iii)  Exposure to credit risks 

The  carrying  amount  of  the  Group’s  financial  assets  represents  the  maximum  credit  exposure.  The  Group’s  maximum 

exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will  encounter  difficulty  in  meeting  the  obligations  associated  with  its  financial 
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to 
ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquid assets to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal 
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. 

Typically,  the  Group  ensures  that  it  has  sufficient  cash  or  funds  otherwise  reasonably  available  to  it  from  fundraising 
activities  to  meet  expected  operational  expenses,  including  the  servicing  of  financial  obligations;  this  excludes  the 
potential impact of circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted. Further details are set out in note 19. 

(i)  Maturities of financial assets 

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the 
impact of netting agreements:

Market risk 

(i)  Interest rate risk 

interest rate risk. 

Market  risk  is  the  risk  that  changes  in  market  prices,  such  as  foreign  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates  will  affect  the 

Group’s  income  or  the  value  of  its  holdings  of  financial  instruments.  The  objective  of  market  risk  management  is  to 

manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. 

The  Group  is  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk  predominantly  on  cash  balances  and  deposits.  Given  the  relatively  short 

investment horizon for these, management has not found it necessary to establish a policy on managing the exposure of 

The  Group  has  entered  into  a  variable  rate  secured  loan  agreement  for  a  period  of  10  years.  The  facility  includes  an 

allowance to defer interest payments up to $3,333,333 and interest will be accrued on deferred amount. Interest is re-set 

on a monthly basis in accordance with the 30 days bank bill rate. The facility includes an interest rate cap which limits the 

bank  bill  rate  component  of  the  variable  rate  to  a  maximum  of  5.03%.  This  limit  will  ensure  that  the  interest  to  be 

capitalised will not exceed the capitalisation limit.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments   

The Group does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore a 
change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss. 

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments   

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the 
amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain 
constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2015.

Market risk (continued) 

(ii)  Currency risk (continued) 

Sensitivity analysis 

A 10 percent movement of the Australian dollar against the following currencies at 30 June would have affected the 

movement of financial instruments denominated in a foreign currency and effected profit and loss by the amounts shown 

below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact 

of forecast sales and purchases. The analysis is performed on the same basis for FY15.

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and cash holdings that are denominated in a currency other 
than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the Australian dollar (AUD), Euro (EUR) and US 
Dollar (USD). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are AUD, EUR and USD. 

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net 
exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address 
short-term imbalances. 

The Group’s investment in its German subsidiary is not hedged as the currency positions are considered to be long-term 
in nature.

required  by  Corporations  Regulations  2010  2M.3.03  is  provided  in  the  Remuneration  Report  section  of  the  Directors’ 
Report. 

On  19  December  2015  Mr.  J  Douglas  became  a  non-executive  director  of  the  Group.  Mr.  Douglas  is  also  a 
director of Newmarket. Therefore at 30 June 2016 the Newmarket Options (Note 7(g)) are considered to be held 
by a related party. 

(cid:8)(cid:12)	

(cid:8)(cid:13)	

The Company previously established the Quickstep Employee Incentive Plan (EIP). Under the EIP, the Board could grant 

options to selected Quickstep employees on such terms as it determined appropriate. Participation in the EIP was open to 

all employees of the Group, with the Board determining those employees eligible to participate in each grant under the 

EIP.  Each  option  was  a  conditional  right  to  one  Quickstep  ordinary  share,  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  applicable 

performance conditions and payment of the exercise price (if any). Further details regarding the EIP are set out in the 

Remuneration Report. 

Mr.  P  Odouard  was  the  only  employee  to  be  granted  options  pursuant  to  the  EIP.  On  30  June  2016  Mr.  P  Odouard 

departed, as a result all options lapsed and this Plan has now ceased to operate.

(b) 

Quickstep Incentive Rights Plan (IRP) 

During the 2014 financial year the Company established the Quickstep Incentive Rights Plan (IRP). 

The IRP was designed to facilitate the Company moving towards best practice remuneration structures for executives. 

The IRP authorises the granting of Rights to executives of the Company, in the form of Performance Rights (PRs) and/or 

Deferred Rights (DRs) (together, Rights). These rights represent an entitlement on vesting to fully paid ordinary shares in 

the issued capital of the Company (Shares) and cash with the total value of cash and Shares being equal to the value of 

vested Rights (number of vested Rights x market value of a Share). PRs may vest if Performance Conditions are satisfied. 

DRs may vest if service conditions are satisfied. Further details regarding the IRP are set out in the Remuneration Report. 

At 30 June 2016 executives accrued rights pursuant to the IRP. 

During 2016 an expense of $143,000 (2015 $125,000) has been recognised in the financial statements in respect of the 

portion of the fair value of rights attributable to the current financial year as required by accounting standards. 

A Monte-Carlo model was used to value the rights per dollar issued. The model's key assumptions were as follows:

16. Share based payments 

(a) 

Quickstep Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) 

The Company previously established the Quickstep Employee Incentive Plan (EIP). Under the EIP, the Board could grant 
options to selected Quickstep employees on such terms as it determined appropriate. Participation in the EIP was open to 
all employees of the Group, with the Board determining those employees eligible to participate in each grant under the 
EIP.  Each  option  was  a  conditional  right  to  one  Quickstep  ordinary  share,  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  applicable 
performance conditions and payment of the exercise price (if any). Further details  regarding the EIP  are set  out in the 
Remuneration Report. 

Mr.  P  Odouard  was  the  only  employee  to  be  granted  options  pursuant  to  the  EIP.  On  30  June  2016  Mr.  P  Odouard 
departed, as a result all options lapsed and this Plan has now ceased to operate.

(c) 

Equity settled short term incentive 

Certain executives are eligible to receive short term incentives (STI) in cash and/or shares based on achievement of key 
performance  indicators  (KPIs).  Each  year  the  RN&D  Committee  considers  the  appropriate  targets  and  KPIs  and  the 
alignment of individual rewards to the Group's performance. These targets may include measures related to the annual 
performance of the Group and/or specified parts of the Group and are measured against actual outcomes. The number of 
shares issued to executives is based on the accrued equity settled STI value divided by the weighted average share price 
on the date the shares are granted. 

In FY16 179,771 shares (2015 415,967) were issued to employees. Due to a reversal of an over accrued STI in FY15 an 
expense of $(37,000) (2015 net increase of $80,000) was recognised.

Quickstep Holdings Limited 

30 June 2016 

19. Significant accounting policies 

The  accounting  policies  set  out  below  have  been  applied  consistently  to  all  periods  presented  in  these  consolidated 
financial statements, and have been applied consistently by all entities in the Group. 

19. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(a)  Reclassification of comparative information 

Reporting entity 

Quickstep Holdings Limited (“the Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial statements 
of  the  Company  comprise  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  the  “Group”  and  individually  as 
“Group Entities”). The Group is a for-profit entity. The Group is at the forefront of advanced composites manufacturing and 
technology development and is the largest independent aerospace-grade advanced composite manufacturer in Australia, 
currently partnering with some of the world’s largest aerospace/defence organisations and commencing penetration into 
the automotive sector. 

Basis of preparation 

Statement of compliance 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards 
and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The 
consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 22 September 2016. 
Basis of measurement 
The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. These consolidated financial statements are presented 
in Australian dollars, which is the company’s functional currency. 

Rounding of amounts 
The  company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  Class  Order  2016/191  issued  by  the  Australian  Securities  and  Investments 
Commission, relating to the ‘rounding off” of amounts in the financial statements and directors’ report.    Amounts in the 
financial statements and directors’ report have therefore been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain 
cases, to the nearest dollar. 

Use of estimates and judgements 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates 
and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  policies  and  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  income  and 
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.  Revisions  to  accounting  estimates  are 
recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. 

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that 
have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following notes: 

Going concern 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will 
be able to meet its commitments as and when they fall due. 
The Group has incurred a loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2016 of $5,785,000 (2015 loss after tax $3,937,000). 
Included in this loss are certain individually material items, refer Note 4, to the value of $4,195,000. 

The Company is in a net asset position with an appropriate level of cash holdings. The Directors consider that there are 
reasonable grounds to expect the Group will be able to meet its commitments.

Certain line items in the Statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income has been reclassified to ensure 

consistency in the treatment of costs with 2016. During 2016 the Group has recognised operating expenses as either cost 

of sales, operational expenses, research and development expenses, corporate and administrative expenses and other 

expenses  (2015  cost  of  sales,  operational  expenses,  research  and  development  expenses,  marketing  expenses, 

corporate and administrative expenses and other expenses). This change reflects the basis on which the expenses of the 

Group are now being recorded. 

(b) Basis of consolidation 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Quickstep  Holdings 

Limited  (“Company”  or  “parent  entity”)  as  at  30  June  2016  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended. 

Quickstep Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in the financial statements as the consolidated 

entity or the Group. 

A subsidiary is any entity controlled by the Company. The Group 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group, and de-consolidated 

from the date that control ceases. 

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 

Determination and presentation of operating segments 

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues 

and  incur  expenses,  including  revenues  and  expenses  that  relate  to  transactions  with  any  of  the  Group’s  other 

components.  All  operating  segments’  operating  results  are  regularly  reviewed  by  the  Group’s  CEO  to  make  decisions 

about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is

allocated on a reasonable basis. 

intangible assets other than goodwill. 

(d) Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary 

economic environment in which the entity operates, (the functional currency).    The consolidated financial statements are 

presented in Australian dollars, which is Quickstep Holdings Limited functional and presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the 

transactions.  Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the 

translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year and exchange rates are generally 

recognised  in  profit  and  loss.    Non-monetary  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  measured  in  terms  of  historical  cost  in  a 

foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 

Foreign currency translation 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are 

translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, 

excluding foreign operations in hyperinflationary economies, are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at the 

dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in 

the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant 

amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is transferred to the statement of comprehensive income. 

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the 

settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment 

in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the 
settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment 
in a foreign operation and are recognised directly in equity in the foreign currency translation reserve.

(e)  Revenue recognition 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2016 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 

30 June 2016 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.    Amounts disclosed as revenue are 
net of returns, trade allowances, rebates. 

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised in the profit and loss when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an 
executed  sales  agreement,  that  the  significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  have  been  transferred  to  the  buyer, 
recovery of consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated reliably, 
there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. 
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of 
the transaction at balance sheet date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to analysis of work performed.   

To the extent to which amounts are received in advance of the provision of the related services, the amounts are recorded 
as unearned income and credited to the statement of comprehensive income as earned. 

Licence  fee  revenue  is  recognised  on  an  accruals  basis  when  the  Group  has  the  right  to  receive  payment  under  the 
relevant agreement and has performed its obligations. 
Construction contracts 
Construction contract revenue recognised results from the construction of Quickstep process machines. These machines 
have been constructed based on specifically negotiated contracts with customers. 

Contract  revenue  includes  the  initial  amount  agreed  in  the  contract  plus  any  variations  in  contract  work,  claims  and 
incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. 

If the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, then contract revenue is recognised in profit or loss in 
proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is assessed with reference to manufacturing 
schedules.  Otherwise,  contract  revenue  is  recognised  to  the  extent  of  contract  costs  incurred  that  are  likely  to  be 
recoverable. 

Contract expenses are collected and held in Inventory WIP when incurred they are recognised, when the contract revenue 
is released in the statement of profit or loss as cost of sales. 

(f)  Government grants 

Grants from the government that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised initially as deferred income 
where  there  is  a  reasonable  assurance  that  the  grant  will  be  received  and  all  grant  conditions  will  be  met  and  are 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  other  income  on  a  systematic  basis  in  the  same  periods  in  which  the  expenses  are 
recognised. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are recognised as a deduction in arriving at the 
carrying value of the asset.   

(g) Income tax 

Income  tax  expense  comprises  current  and  deferred  tax.  Current  tax  and  deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  profit  and  loss 
except  to  the  extent  that  it  related  to  a  business  combination,  or  items  recognised  directly  in  equity  or  in  other 
comprehensive income. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or 
substantially  enacted  at  reporting  date,  and  any  adjustment  to  tax  payable  in  respect  of  previous  years.  Current  tax 
payable also included any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends. 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  However,  deferred  tax 
liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted 
for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the 
time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax 
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to 
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related 
tax benefit will be realised. 

Quickstep Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries have unused tax losses. However, no deferred tax balances have been 
recognised, as it is considered that asset recognition criteria have not been met at this time.

(h) Leases 

over the term of the lease. 

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis 

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of 

the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant 

periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. 

Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease 

At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. A specific 

asset  is  the  subject  of  a  lease  if  fulfilment  of  the  arrangement  is  dependent  on  the  use  of  that  specified  asset.  An 

arrangement conveys the right to use the asset if the arrangement conveys to the Group the right to control the use of the 

underlying asset 

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance 

leases.  Upon  initial  recognition  the  leased  asset  is  measured  at  an  amount  equal  to  the  lower  of  its  fair  value  and  the 

present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance 

with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. 

Other  leases  are  operating  leases  and  the  leased  assets  are  not  recognised  on  the  Group’s  statement  of  financial 

position. 

(i)  Impairment of assets 

Non-derivative financial assets 

A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit and loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether 

there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss 

event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event has a negative effect on the estimated 

future cash flows of that asset that can be measured reliably. 

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its 

carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. 

Significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed 

collectively in Groups that share similar credit risk characteristics. 

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.   

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss 

was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.   

Non-financial assets 

The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Group’s  assets  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  to  determine  whether  there  is  any 

indication  of  impairment.  If  any  such  indication  exists,  the  asset’s  recoverable  amount  is  estimated.  For  goodwill  and 

intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives or are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount (the value in use 

of the asset in the cash generating unit (CGU) to which it relates) is estimated each year at the same time. An impairment 

loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. 

Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive  income  unless  the  asset  has  previously  been 

revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any 

excess recognised through the statement of comprehensive income. 

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any 

goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets 

in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. 

An impairment write down to goodwill may not be reversed in future years. In respect of other assets, impairment losses 

recognised  in  prior  periods  are  assessed  at  each  reporting  date  for  any  indications  that  the  loss  has  decreased  or  no 

longer  exists.  An  impairment  loss  is  reversed  if  there  has  been  a  change  in  the  estimates  used  to  determine  the 

recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed 

the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been 

recognised.

(j)  Inventories 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2016 

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 

30 June 2016 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first in first 
out  principle,  and  includes  expenditure  incurred  in  acquiring  the  inventories,  production  or  conversion  costs  and  other 
costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in 
progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable 
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling 
expenses 

(k)  Property, plant and equipment 

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment 
losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed 
assets  includes  the  cost  of  materials  and  direct  labour,  any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  assets  to  a 
working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling the items and restoring the site on which they are located 
and capitalised borrowing costs. 

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate 
items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and 
equipment  is  determined  by  comparing  the  proceeds  from  disposal  with  the  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment and is recognised net within other income/other expense in profit or loss.   

Government grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are recognised as a deduction in arriving at the 
carrying value of the asset.   

Depreciation 
Depreciation  is  based  on  the  cost  of  an  asset  less  its  residual  value.  Significant  components  of  individual  assets  are 
assessed  and  if  a  component  has  a  useful  life  that  is  different  from  the  remainder  of  the  asset,  that  component  is 
depreciated  separately.  Depreciation  is  recognised  in  profit  and  loss  on  a  reducing  balance  basis  over  the  estimated 
useful lives of each component of an item of property plant and equipment. The depreciation rates used for each class of 
depreciable asset for the current and prior years are: 
Class of depreciable asset 
Plant and factory equipment 
Office equipment 

Depreciation rate 
6.67% to 37.50% 
6.67% to 50.00% 

(l)  Intangible assets 

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses

(m)   Employee benefits 

Wages, salaries, annual leave and non-monetary benefits 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits  and  annual  leave  expected  to  be  settled  within  12 

months  after  the  end  of  the  period  in  which  the  employees  render  the  related  service  are  recognised  in  respect  of 

employee's services up to the end of the reporting period 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. 

The liabilities for long service leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in 

which the employees render the related service. They are therefore recognised in the provision for employee benefits and 

measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up 

to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. 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  end  of  the  reporting  period  of  government  bonds  with  terms  and  currencies  that  match,  as 

closely  as  possible,  the  estimated  future  cash  outflows.  Remeasurements  as  a  result  of  experience  adjustments  and 

changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss. 

Share-based payment transactions 

An expense is recognised for all equity-based remuneration and other transactions, including shares, rights and options 

issued  to  employees  and  directors.  The  fair  value  of  equity  instruments  granted  is  recognised,  together  with  a 

corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending 

on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). The amount recognised is 

adjusted  to  reflect  the  actual  number  of  shares  and  options  that  vest,  except  for  those  that  fail  to  vest  due  to  market 

conditions not being met. The fair value of equity instruments granted is measured using a generally accepted valuation 

model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the equity instruments were granted. The fair value of 

shares, options and rights granted is measured based on relevant market prices at the grant date. 

(n) Contributed equity 

Ordinary shares 

Dividends 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share 

options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. 

(o) Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing- 

during the year and excluding treasury shares. 

Diluted earnings per share 

the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares by the 

weighted average of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares 

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 ordinary shares and the weighted 

average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive 

potential ordinary shares. Currently there are no potential ordinary shares on issue that are considered to be dilutive.

(p) Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

(s)  Amortisation 

Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit and loss 

on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that 

they are available for use. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: 

Licences patents and rights to technology 

Royalty buy-back 

Capitalised development costs 

Software 

(t)  Finance income and finance costs 

10 years 

10 years 

5 – 10 years 

2 ½ years 

Finance  income  comprises  interest  income  on  funds  invested  (including  available-for-sale  financial  assets),  dividend 

income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and fair value gains on financial assets at fair value 

through profit and loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and loss, using the effective interest method. 

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, 

transaction  costs,  unwinding  discounting  of  provisions  and  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses.  The  interest  expense 

component of finance lease payments is recognised in the profit and loss using the effective interest method. 

(u) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

The  Group  has  adopted  all  new  and  amended  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Australian  Accounting  Standards 

Board (AASB) interpretations that are mandatory for the current reporting period and relevant to the Group. 

Adoption  of  these  standards  and  interpretations  has  not  resulted  in  any  material  changes  to  the  Group’s  financial 

statements. 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part 
of the expense. 

Receivables  and  payables  are  stated  inclusive  of  the  amount  of  GST  receivable  or  payable.  The  net  amount  of  GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the consolidated 
balance sheet. 

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  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. 

(q) Financial instruments 

Non-derivative financial assets 
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial 
assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which 
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

The  Group  de-recognises  a  financial  asset  when  the  contractual  rights  to  the  cash  flows  from  the  asset  expire,  or  it 
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the 
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is 
created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset of liability. 
Non-derivative financial liabilities 
All financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade 
date  at  which  the  Group  becomes  a  party  to  the  contractual  provisions  of  the  instrument.  The  Group  derecognises  a 
financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are 
offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal 
right  to  offset  the  amounts  and  intends  either  to  settle  on  a  net  basis  or  to  realise  the  asset  and  settle  the  liability 
simultaneously. 

Compound financial instruments 
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that 
does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair 
value  of  the  compound  financial  instrument  as  a  whole  and  the  fair  value  of  the  liability  component.  Any  directly 
attributable  transaction  costs  are  allocated  to  the  liability  and  equity  components  in  proportion  to  their  initial  carrying 
amounts. 

Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  the  liability  component  of  a  compound  financial  instrument  is  measured  at  amortised 
cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured 
subsequent to initial recognition. 

Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognised in profit or loss. Distributions to the 
equity holders are recognised against equity, net of any tax benefit. 

Derivative financial instruments 
The Group holds a derivative financial instrument in the form of options issued in relation to borrowed funds. 

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value, any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit and loss 
as  they  are  incurred.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  derivatives  are  measured  at  fair  value  and  changes  therein  are

19. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(s)  Amortisation 

Quickstep Holdings Limited 
Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2016 

Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortisation is recognised in profit and loss 
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that 
they are available for use. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows: 
Licences patents and rights to technology 
Royalty buy-back 
Capitalised development costs 
Software 

10 years 
10 years 
5 – 10 years 
2 ½ years 

(t)  Finance income and finance costs 

Finance  income  comprises  interest  income  on  funds  invested  (including  available-for-sale  financial  assets),  dividend 
income, gains on the disposal of available-for-sale financial assets and fair value gains on financial assets at fair value 
through profit and loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit and loss, using the effective interest method. 

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income, 
transaction  costs,  unwinding  discounting  of  provisions  and  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses.  The  interest  expense 
component of finance lease payments is recognised in the profit and loss using the effective interest method. 

(u) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted 

The  Group  has  adopted  all  new  and  amended  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Australian  Accounting  Standards 
Board (AASB) interpretations that are mandatory for the current reporting period and relevant to the Group. 

Adoption  of  these  standards  and  interpretations  has  not  resulted  in  any  material  changes  to  the  Group’s  financial 
statements.

20. Determination of fair values 

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and 
non-financial assets and liabilities. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair 
values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 

Trade and other receivables 
The  fair  value  of  trade  and  other  receivables  is  estimated  as  the  present  value  of  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the 
market rate of interest at the reporting date.    This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. 

Non-derivative financial liabilities 
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and 
interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. In respect of the liability component of 
convertible notes and loans, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar liabilities that do not have a 
conversion option. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. 

Share based payment transactions 
The fair value of the Employee Incentive Plan (EIP) is measured using Monte Carlo Simulation. The fair value of the share 
rights is measured using the Black-Scholes formula. Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, the 
exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for expected 
changes expected due to publicly available information), expected term of the instruments (based on historical experience 
and general option holder behavior), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). In 
the  case  of  the  EIP,  market  performance  conditions  attaching  to  the  grant  are  taken  into  account  in  the  Monte  Carlo 
Simulation in determining fair value. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the EIP transactions are 
not taken into account in determining fair value. 

Loans and borrowings 
The  fair  value  of  the  Newmarket  options  (Note  7(g))  is  measured  using  the  Binomial  tree  methodology.  Measurement 
inputs  include  share  price  on  measurement  date,  the  exercise  price  of  the  instrument,  expected  volatility  (based  on 
weighted average historic volatility adjusted for expected changes due to publicly available information), remaining term of 
the instruments to the date of expiry, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). 

Derivatives 
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is 
not  available,  then  fair  value  is  estimated  by  discounting  the  difference  between  the  contractual  forward  price  and  the 
current forward price for the residual maturity for the contract using a risk-free interest rate.
