Annual Report 2014 5 Chairman’s Report Dear Shareholder I am delighted to present the SG Fleet Group Limited Annual Report to you for the period ended 30 June 2014, our first as a listed entity. This report will provide you with information about our financial performance for the four-month period from 6 March 2014, the date on which SG Fleet Group Limited commenced trading, until 30 June 2014. During this period, we have met and in fact exceeded our Prospectus net profit forecast in what has been a challenging operating environment. It is pleasing that your Board has confirmed a fully franked dividend of 4 cents per share, as foreshadowed in the Prospectus. Looking ahead, the positive structural trends that underpin demand for our products and services in the longer term continue unimpeded. While the fleet leasing market has grown over time, Australia is still materially lagging more mature markets such as the UK and the US in terms of penetration of outsourced fleet management services. We continue to see more and more first time outsourcers coming to the market as they recognise that fleet management is not one of their core competencies. They increasingly appreciate the benefits that our exceptional asset management expertise can bring to their organisations. Increasingly, corporates and employers tap into our vehicle leasing expertise to structure arrangements that suit their fleet and salary packaging needs. Continuous innovation is one of our key differentiators and we have again led from the front with the launch of new products and technology that help optimise our customers’ fleets from a cost and utilisation perspective. We have a strong market position across both the corporate and the salary packaging space and this diversified business model creates multiple revenue and growth opportunities. It also helps us manage risk, such as the disruptions in the novated business last year. Our growth is built on a high quality, diverse customer base across governments and corporates. In many cases, customers have been with us for more than a decade and the strength of our government relationships is exceptional. 6 SG Fleet Group Limited The Board has declared a FY2014 final dividend of 4 cents per share, fully franked, in respect of the reported period. This dividend will be paid on 29 October 2014 to shareholders entitled to receive dividends and registered on the record date of 8 October 2014. These competitive advantages are also applied by our businesses in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. In the UK, the general business climate has been more positive than at any other time post-GFC. The fleet leasing industry is growing again, particularly in the salary sacrifice segment, where we are now offering a unique and attractive proposition built around our Australian expertise in this area. In New Zealand, the market is stable to positive and we intend to take full advantage of our relationships with major financial institutions to generate attractive business leads. In summary, our performance relative to our Prospectus forecast confirms the appeal of the industry in which we operate, the strengths of your Company and our potential for further success in coming years. We have an experienced Board in place and the collective expertise of our Directors will be a great asset on our journey. I would also like to acknowledge the support of Super Group, our majority shareholder. I encourage you to read the Chief Executive Officer’s Report in this document, which provides an overview of business developments as well as detailed financial information. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our shareholders, for your support in what has been an exciting year for your Company, one in which we have made the transformation into a listed entity and taken the first steps towards further growth. I also welcome our Directors and thank the leadership team and our staff for their efforts throughout the period. Andrew Reitzer Chairman Chief Executive Officer’s Report Dear Shareholder It gives me pleasure to report on SG Fleet Group Limited’s maiden financial performance for the period ended 30 June 2014. My commentary applies to our performance during the period from 6 March 2014, when we started trading as SG Fleet Group Limited, to 30 June 2014. Throughout my report, I will compare our reported results with the pro forma financial figures that have been prepared as if we had traded as SG Fleet Group Limited for the full financial year, so that I am consistent with the pro forma statement contained in our Initial Public Offering Prospectus. You will find both statutory and pro forma figures summarised in the tables contained in this document. Group result Your Company has continued to trade well through the final months of the reported period. We are pleased to have been admitted to the Australian Securities Exchange on 4 March 2014, a very significant event in our evolution. For the period, we reported total revenue of $156.5 million, less than 1% below our Prospectus forecast. As a result of lower than forecast expenses (at $105.7 million vs. $107.3 million forecast), we achieved a better than forecast profit before tax of $50.8 million (vs. $50.2 million forecast). The lower than expected expenses were primarily due to lower fleet running costs. At the net profit after tax level, we exceeded our forecast by 1.4% to record a $35.4 million profit. Relative to the 2013 financial year, the 0.3% decline in revenue and 5.9% decline in net profit after tax are due to the temporary disruption in the novated segment as a result of the Labor Government’s Fringe Benefits Tax (‘FBT’) proposal in July 2013. Total revenue reflects growth that has resulted from the roll-on of a number of fleet management contracts that were won over the last few years. It is usual for vehicles to roll on to our fleet over a period of time after contract wins. New deliveries of vehicles during the period have been somewhat slower than budgeted internally as a result of a higher volume of extensions, where - rather than replacing vehicles - customers opt to retain vehicles already in their fleet for a period beyond the initial term of the lease. The Federal Budget in May also impacted delivery volumes as certain customers delayed activity until the Budget’s announcement. Activity has now returned to normal levels, however tenders are taking longer to come to a conclusion. Management and maintenance income of $59.8 million for the period is 1.4% higher than forecast. This was primarily driven by a higher than forecast average maintenance income per unit. Insurance income contributed towards revenue from additional products and services exceeding the Prospectus forecast by 2.7%, at $41.7 million. Funding commissions revenue was lower than forecast, at $23.6 million, as a result of the lower than forecast deliveries referred to above. End of lease income, at $12.7 million, was 1.6% higher than forecast. This was despite an increase in formal contract extensions resulting in a smaller number of vehicles being returned, again partially because of the slowdown pre-Budget and a relatively uncertain economic climate. While overall residual values have continued to come off as previously foreshadowed, average gross profit achieved per vehicle was higher than forecast, compensating for the lower number of vehicles returned. Lower than forecast rental income (at $12.2 million vs. $13.1 million forecast) is predominantly the consequence of fewer vehicles going into inertia, which generates rental income, because their contracts are instead being formally extended. At $6.5 million, other income was 13.3% below forecast. This was driven by lower Early-Termination fee income, which is linked to the higher level of extensions, lower interest income on cash balances, as well as lower fleet projects income. Annual Report 2014 7 Chief Executive Officer’s Report Business development The contract tender pipeline remains very full, with a number of large and exciting opportunities currently in the market. The Company’s tender win percentages were well in excess of its estimated market share during the reported period and we remain confident of continuing this trend with the same differentiated offering that has delivered success in the past. However, we remain selective and will only tender for contracts where we see a clear business benefit. In addition, we continue to focus on converting new entrants to our outsourced model. We are also making progress in converting fleet management customers to full leasing services. Key to this is developing our understanding of customers’ needs and our ability to respond to those needs. For that purpose, we are investigating the introduction of a new service quality measurement model. Major progress has also been made with government contracts in the past period and our government clients remain highly satisfied with our offering. In our view, the recent Budget has confirmed that the Federal Government is increasingly focusing on a more efficient management of its assets, and we are seeing a similar pattern at State level. We feel the Company can assist governments with their cost control agenda by providing more efficient fleet management. We are looking at a number of options to deepen our relationships with government clients and see opportunities for our novated lease business emerging on the back of these relationships. Increased penetration of existing customers is a constant in all of our marketing efforts, and we are taking full advantage of the duration and strength of customer relationships to introduce a suite of after-market products to the corporate market. 8 SG Fleet Group Limited United Kingdom and New Zealand Last year, the UK business was re-shaped to focus on winning and managing customers on a direct basis. We have completed our move out of the broker market in the corporate segment, which has seen a significant improvement in the profitability and risk profile of the business. We remain focussed on further developing our burgeoning salary sacrifice and tool-of-trade client bases by offering differentiated products and services. Our salary sacrifice product is unique in the UK market place and has led to a number of wins in the corporate and public sector markets. The market for salary sacrificed vehicles is growing strongly and we have a healthy pipeline of opportunities. Our tool-of-trade product in the UK is being well accepted with a number of promising wins in the mid-tier corporate market. Looking ahead, the key to further progress in the UK is execution of our strategic focus and the building of further critical mass. The New Zealand opportunities pipeline has seen unprecedented growth and we are confident of maintaining a healthy conversion rate. In particular, our good relationship with major financial institutions is providing the Company with sizeable, attractive opportunities. Innovation In all our businesses and geographies, technology and continued innovation allow us to create a strong differentiator for our customer proposition. Our aim is to improve the quality and width of our offering to customers. In doing so, we strengthen our relationships by penetrating the customer further with new products. We also create additional income streams. Examples of this include our In-Vehicle Asset Management capability, as well as a number of Work Health and Safety applications, which continue to be upgraded on a regular basis. These products have already been introduced to major customers and the response has been very positive. Regulatory environment Prior to the Federal election, the Coalition Opposition took a strong stance against the Labor Government’s proposal to change FBT legislation as it relates to motor vehicles. The new Government has since reiterated its support for our industry, as demonstrated by the absence of any related measures in the Federal Budget. Novated volumes have now recovered and we do not expect any further measures that will impact our 2015 financial year forecasts. The industry is also monitoring developments regarding new and second hand vehicle import tariffs. In our view, the abolishment of such tariffs is unlikely to cause a material decline in new vehicle prices or lead to mass imports that could materially impact the residual value of used vehicles. As such, we see little effect on our business. “ We have a strong market presence across the corporate and salary packaging segments and we have core expertise in all the areas we choose to operate in. We lead the way in products and services innovation, and we have built a high quality, diverse customer base across both governments and corporates. “ Outlook We are pleased to have exceeded our profit forecasts and we believe further success will be achieved by taking full advantage of our unique customer proposition. We have a strong market presence across the corporate and salary packaging segments and we have core expertise in all the areas we choose to operate in. We lead the way in products and services innovation, and we have built a high quality, diverse customer base across both governments and corporates. In terms of our financial health, our financial position is strong, with zero net gearing. In the context of an underpenetrated market, scope for further improvement of customer service and internal processes, as well as a strong opportunity conversion rate and highly visible fee-based revenue streams, we remain confident of achieving the 2015 financial year forecasts as disclosed in our Prospectus. I would like to thank my executive as well as all members of our team for their contributions to our success this year. It has been an important year in the life of SG Fleet. We have welcomed our shareholders and we are now fully focused on retaining your support by growing our business and providing attractive returns.

Annual Report 2014 15 Directors’ Report Remuneration report (audited) The remuneration report, which has been audited, details the Key Management Personnel (‘KMP’) remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings: • Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration • Details of remuneration • Service agreements • Share‑based compensation • Additional information • Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices: • competitiveness and reasonableness; • acceptability to shareholders; • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and • transparency. The main role of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities and to review and make recommendations in relation to the remuneration arrangements for its Directors and executives. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee comprises two independent Non‑Executive Directors and one Non‑Executive Director and meets regularly throughout the financial period. The CEO and CFO attend certain committee meetings by invitation, where management input is required. The CEO and CFO are not present during any discussions related to their own remuneration arrangements. 16 SG Fleet Group Limited The performance of the Group depends on the quality of its Directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performing, quality executives. In consultation with external remuneration consultants (refer to the section ‘Use of remuneration consultants’ below), the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group. Alignment to shareholders’ interests: • has economic profit as a core component of plan design; • focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non‑financial drivers of value; and • attracts and retains high calibre executives. Alignment to executives’ interests: • rewards capability and experience; • reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and • provides a clear structure for earning rewards. In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Non‑Executive Directors and executive remunerations are separate. Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration Fees and payments to Non‑Executive Directors reflect the demands that are made on, and the responsibilities of these Directors. Non‑Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee may, from time to time, receive advice from independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non‑Executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of other Non‑Executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration. Non‑Executive Directors do not receive retirement benefits, share options or other cash incentives. The remuneration of Non‑Executive Directors consists of Directors’ fees and committee fees. The Chairman of the Board attends all committee meetings but does not receive committee fees in respect of his role as Chairman or member of any committee. Non‑Executive Director fees (Directors’ fees and committee fees) (inclusive of superannuation) proposed for the year ending 30 June 2015, amounting to $445,000 is summarised as follows: FY 2015 Fees $165,000 $92,500 $95,000 $92,500 Long‑term incentives (‘LTI’) are set annually for KMP (‘Participants’) in order to align remuneration with the creation of shareholder value over the long term. LTI include long service leave and share‑based payments. LTI to Participants are made under the Equity Incentive Plan (‘EIP’) and are currently delivered in the form of share options. The number of options granted will be based on a fixed percentage of the relevant Participant’s TFR and will be issued to the Participant at no cost. For the period ended 30 June 2014, KMP were granted options to the value of their maximum LTI opportunity. Each option was granted with an exercise price of $1.85 (the IPO Offer Price for the shares). Options granted to the CEO and other KMP vest subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions. The performance conditions will be tested over a performance period of at least 3 years, with no opportunity for re‑test. The performance conditions must be satisfied in order for the options to vest and become exercisable. For the 2014 LTI offer, the relevant performance period commences at the date of the Group’s listing on 4 March 2014 and concludes on 30 June 2017, a period of 39 months (‘the Performance Period’). The performance conditions for the 2014 LTI offer will be based on the compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) of the Group’s earnings per share (‘EPS’). The performance period and applicable performance conditions for any future LTI opportunities will be determined by the Board and specified in the relevant offer document. Name – Position Andrew Reitzer – Independent Non‑Executive Chairman Cheryl Bart AO – Independent Non‑Executive Director Graham Maloney – Independent Non‑Executive Director Peter Mountford – Non‑Executive Director The total aggregate Non‑Executive Directors fees have been fixed at $1,000,000 per annum. Executive remuneration The Group aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and responsibility, which has both fixed and variable components. The executive remuneration and reward framework has four components: • base salary and non‑monetary benefits; • short‑term performance incentives; • share‑based payments; and • other remuneration, such as superannuation and long service leave. The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. Total Fixed Remuneration (‘TFR’) consisting of base salary, superannuation and non‑monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations. Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and provides additional value to the executive. The short‑term incentives (‘STI’) program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targets of those executives responsible for meeting those targets. STI payments are granted to executives based on specific annual targets. A performance modifier applies in relation to award of the short‑term incentive. For an executive to receive payment under the STI program, their performance has to be regarded as entirely satisfactory. Where an executive is regarded as below competent, the award under the STI program will be adjusted by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Annual Report 2014 17 Directors’ Report The percentage of options that vest and become exercisable, if any, will be determined by reference to the vesting schedule, summarised as follows: CAGR of EPS over the Performance Period % of options that become exercisable Less than 5% 5% (Threshold performance) Between 5% and 15% Nil 30% Straight‑line pro‑rata vesting between 30% and 100% 15% or above (Stretch performance) 100% Group performance and link to remuneration The financial performance measure driving STI payment outcomes for the period ended 30 June 2014 was net profit after tax (‘NPAT’). Based on the Group’s FY 2014 NPAT performance meeting the threshold FY 2014 pro forma forecast NPAT as disclosed in the IPO prospectus, KMP will receive the threshold STI percentage as set out in the service agreement section below. The proportion of the maximum STI awarded to the KMP is at the discretion of the Board. STI for KMP for the years ending 30 June 2015 and thereafter will be determined on a straight‑line basis, based on the Group achieving EPS growth of between 5.0% and 15.0% over the previous financial year. No award will be made if the Group’s EPS growth is less than 5.0% over the previous financial year. The performance measure that drives LTI vesting is the CAGR of the Group’s EPS over the relevant performance period. The Group’s EPS for the period 6 March 2014 to 30 June 2014 was 9.13 cents per share. Use of remuneration consultants During the financial period ended 30 June 2014, the Group engaged Egan Associates (‘Remuneration Consultant’), to review its existing remuneration policies and provide recommendations to improve the STI and LTI programs. The Remuneration Consultant was paid $58,905 for these services. Additional services provided by the Remuneration Consultant included other advisory services and the fees for all other services were $12,000. The Remuneration Consultant has confirmed that the remuneration recommendations were made free from undue influence by the Group’s KMP. The Board is satisfied that these protocols were followed and as such there was no undue influence. Any options that remain unvested at the end of the Performance Period will lapse immediately. The Participant must exercise any vested options within 12 months of vesting. After 12 months, any unexercised options will lapse. The Participant will be entitled to receive one share for each option that vests and is exercised. The Board may make an equivalent cash payment in lieu of providing shares to the participant. Any cash payment is at the Group’s discretion only. The options do not carry dividends or voting rights prior to vesting and exercise. Participants must not sell, transfer, encumber, hedge or otherwise deal with the options. The EIP provides the Board with broad ‘clawback’ powers if, amongst other things, the Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, engaged in gross misconduct or has acted in a manner that has brought the Group into disrepute, or there is a material financial misstatement, or the Group is required or entitled under law or company policy to reclaim remuneration from the Participant, or the Participant’s entitlements vest as a result of fraud, dishonesty or breach of obligations of any other person and the Board is of the opinion that the incentives would not have otherwise vested. If the Participant ceases employment for cause, the unvested options will automatically lapse unless the Board determines otherwise. In other circumstances, the options will remain on foot with a broad discretion for the Board to vest or lapse some or all of the options, the latter of which the Board will ordinarily exercise in the case of resignation. Where there may be a change of control event, the Board has the discretion to accelerate vesting of some or all of the options and the Board will notify the Participant of the date on which any vested but unexercised options will expire. Where only some of the options are vested on a change of control event, the remainder of the options will immediately lapse. The EIP also provides flexibility for the Group to grant, subject to the terms of individual offers, performance rights and restricted shares. 18 SG Fleet Group Limited Details of remuneration Amounts of remuneration Details of the remuneration of the KMP of the Group are set out in the following tables.

The Company’s corporate governance practices were in place from the Company’s listing on the ASX on 4 March 2014 to the end of the 2014 financial period (30 June 2014), and to the date of signing the Directors’ Report. The Company’s corporate governance practices are summarised below. For the full text of the corporate governance policies and charters adopted by the Company, refer to the Company’s website at www.sgfleet.com. Board Composition and size • The Board is appointed by the shareholders. Non‑Executive Directors are initially engaged through a letter of appointment. • The Board, together with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, determines the size and composition of the Board, subject to the terms of the Company’s Constitution. • It is intended that the Board should comprise a majority of independent Non‑Executive Directors and comprise Directors with a broad range of skills, expertise and experience from a diverse range of backgrounds. • The Board, together with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, will review the skills represented by Directors on the Board and determine whether the composition and mix of those skills remain appropriate for the Company’s strategy, subject to limits imposed by the Constitution and the terms served by existing Non‑Executive Directors. Further details on each Director can be found in the Directors’ Report issued in conjunction with this Corporate Governance Statement. Annual Report 2014 35 Corporate Governance Statement Director independence and tenure • The Board regularly reviews the independence of each Non‑Executive Director in light of information relevant to this assessment as disclosed by each Non‑Executive Director to the Board. • The Board only considers Directors to be independent where they are independent of management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment. The Board has adopted a definition of independence that is based on that set out in Box 2.1 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (2nd edition). • The Board does not believe that it should establish an arbitrary limit on tenure. While tenure limits can help to ensure that there are fresh ideas and viewpoints available to the Board, they hold the disadvantage of losing the contribution of Directors who have been able to develop, over a period of time, increasing insight in the Company and its operation and, therefore, an increasing contribution to the Board as a whole. Accordingly, tenure is just one of the many factors that the Board takes into account when assessing the independence and ongoing contribution of a Director in the context of the overall board process. Role and responsibilities The Board’s role is to: • represent and serve the interests of shareholders by overseeing and appraising the Company’s strategies, policies and performance, including overseeing the financial and human resources the Company has in place to meet its objectives, and reviewing management performance; • protect and optimise Company performance and build sustainable value for shareholders in accordance with any duties and obligations imposed on the Board by law and the Company’s Constitution and within a framework of prudent and effective controls that enable risk to be assessed and managed; • set, review and ensure compliance with the Company’s values and governance framework (including establishing and observing high ethical standards); and • ensure shareholders are kept informed of the Company’s performance and major developments affecting its state of affairs. The Board may delegate any of its powers to one director, a committee of the Board, or any person or persons to be exercised in accordance with any directions of the Board. 36 SG Fleet Group Limited Directors’ independent advice The Board collectively, and each director individually, has the right to seek independent professional advice, subject to the approval of the Board. To facilitate the execution of its responsibilities, the Board has established Committees to oversee and report to the Board on particular areas of responsibility. All Directors receive all Committee papers and minutes and are entitled to attend any Committee meeting. Each Committee reports to the next Board meeting. The Board has established the following Committees: The Board Charter is available on the Company’s website. Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee Audit The Committee’s primary audit roles are: • to assist the Board in relation to the reporting of financial information; • the appropriate application and amendment of accounting policies; • the appointment, independence and remuneration of the external auditor; and • to provide a link between the external auditors, the Board and the management of the Company. Risk and compliance The Committee’s specific function with respect to risk management is to review and report to the Board that: • the Company’s ongoing risk management program effectively identifies all areas of potential risk; • adequate policies and procedures have been designed and implemented to manage identified risks; • a regular program of audits is undertaken to test the adequacy of and compliance with prescribed policies; and • proper remedial action is undertaken to redress areas of weakness.

Employees must conduct themselves in a manner consistent with current community and Company standards and in compliance with all relevant legislation. The Code of Conduct outlines how the Company expects its representatives to behave and conduct business in the workplace on a range of issues. It includes legal compliance and guidelines on appropriate ethical standards. The objective of the Code of Conduct is to: • provide a benchmark for professional behaviour throughout the Company; • support the Company’s business reputation and corporate image within the community; and • make Directors and employees aware of the consequences if they breach the policy. The Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website. Diversity Policy The Board has formally adopted the Company’s Diversity Policy. The Company’s vision for diversity incorporates a number of different factors, including gender, ethnicity, disability, age and educational experience. At a Board and senior management level, diversity has been identified as a key area of focus for the Company. Accordingly, the primary focus of this Policy is achieving, over a reasonable transition period, an adequate representation of diversity throughout the workforce, in senior management positions and on the Board.

Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for‑profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3. Accounting period The Company was incorporated on 15 January 2014 and commenced trading on 6 March 2014, when it acquired SG Fleet Holdings Pty Limited and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Group’s results are for the four month period from 6 March 2014 to 30 June 2014. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 34. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of SG Fleet Group Limited as at 30 June 2014 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group 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. 44 SG Fleet Group Limited Notes to the financial statements30 June 2014 Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued The acquisition of common control subsidiaries is accounted for using the common control method. The acquisition of other subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non‑controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Operating segments Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance. Foreign currency translation The financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is SG Fleet Group Limited’s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian Dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at financial period‑ end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian Dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian Dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rate at the date of the transaction, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity. The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Management and maintenance income Fleet management income and management fees are brought to account on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Maintenance income is recognised on a stage of completion basis in order that profit is recognised when the services are provided. Maintenance costs are expensed as and when incurred. Additional products and services Revenue from the sale of additional products and services is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Funding commissions Introductory commissions earned are recognised in profit or loss in full in the month in which the finance is introduced to the relevant financier. Trailing commissions earned from financiers are recognised over the life of the lease. End of lease income Income earned after the expiry of the lease is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Rental income Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term. Other income Other income is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Annual Report 2014 45 Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: • when the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or • when the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. SG Fleet Group Limited (the ‘head entity’) and its wholly‑ owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime, from 6 March 2014. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short‑term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Finance, trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. For finance lease and contract purchase agreements see ‘Leases – Group as lessor’ accounting policy. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. 46 SG Fleet Group Limited Notes to the financial statements30 June 2014 Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued Inventories End‑of‑term operating lease assets are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. Net realisable value is the lower of (i) estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and (ii) cost less residual value provision. Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight‑line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows: Leasehold improvements Fixtures and fittings Motor vehicles five years three to eight years four years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Leases Group as lessee The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. For leased motor vehicles see ‘Leases – Group as lessor – leased motor vehicles assets’ accounting policy. Group as lessor Amounts due from customers under finance leases and contract purchase agreements are recorded as receivables. Finance and contract purchase receivables are initially recognised at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum instalment payment receivable plus the present value of any unguaranteed residual value expected to accrue at the end of the contract term. Interest income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the contracts. Annual Report 2014 47 Customer contracts Customer contracts are assessed as having either an indefinite or finite life. Indefinite life customer contracts are not amortised. Instead they are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Finite life customer contracts are amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful life of five years. Software Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight‑line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite useful lives of between two and eight years. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non‑financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value‑in‑use. The value‑in‑ use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre‑tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash‑generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash‑generating unit. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid. Due to their short‑term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued Group as lessor – leased motor vehicles assets Full maintenance lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of full maintenance lease assets includes the purchase cost including non‑refundable purchase taxes and other expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets to bring the assets held‑for‑use in the lease asset portfolio to working condition for the intended use. The depreciable amount of the asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life of seven years on a straight‑line basis. Lease rentals receivable and payable on operating leases are recognised in profit or loss in periodic amounts over the effective lease term on a straight line basis. Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period. Goodwill Where an entity or operation is acquired in a business combination, that is not a common control transaction, the identifiable net assets acquired are measured at fair value. The excess of the fair value of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is brought to account as goodwill. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. 48 SG Fleet Group Limited Notes to the financial statements30 June 2014 Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non‑ monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date 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 reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution superannuation expense Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Share-based payments Equity‑settled share‑based compensation benefits are provided to employees. Equity‑settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services. The cost of equity‑settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using either the Binomial or Black‑Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non‑vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions. Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Maintenance deferred income liability Income is measured by reference to the stage of completion based on the proportion that the maintenance costs incurred to date bear to the estimated costs of completion of the contract lease. Deferred income is recognised based on the differences in maintenance fee derived in accordance with the contract billing cycle and income based on stage of completion by reference to costs incurred. Finance costs Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, including: • ●Interest on short‑term and long‑term borrowings Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre‑tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Residual values The Group has entered into various agreements with its financiers that govern the transfer of the residual value risk inherent in operating lease assets from the financier to the Group at the end of the underlying lease agreement. These agreements include put/call options, sale direction deeds and guaranteed buyback arrangements. The residual value provision is created on an onerous pool basis to cover future shortfalls on the disposal of these vehicles. Assets are grouped into homogenous groups which are then analysed further into maturity pools. A provision is raised for a maturity pool if the forecast loss on disposal of the assets in the pool exceeds the future fee income that the pool will generate between the reporting date and the maturity date. Maturity pools in a net profit position are not offset against maturity pools in a net loss position. Annual Report 2014 49 Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued The cost of equity‑settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions are satisfied. If equity‑settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share‑based compensation benefit as at the date of modification. If the non‑vesting condition is within the control of the Group or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the Group or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity‑settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification. Fair value measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non‑financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interest. For non‑financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non‑recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data. Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Dividends Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial period and no longer at the discretion of the Company. 50 SG Fleet Group Limited Notes to the financial statements30 June 2014 Note 2. Significant accounting policies continued Earnings per share Basic earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of SG Fleet Group Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial period. Diluted earnings per share Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. Rounding of amounts The Company is of a kind referred to in Class Order 98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding‑ off’. Amounts in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2014. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below. AASB 9 Financial Instruments and its consequential amendments This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and completes phases I and III of the IASB’s project to replace IAS 39 (AASB 139) ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. The Group will adopt this standard and the amendments from 1 July 2018 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group. Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle and IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle These annual improvements are applicable to either annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 or on or after 1 January 2015. The adoption of these improvements will not have a material impact on the Group. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2017 and provides a single standard for revenue recognition. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2017, but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the Group. Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. Revenue from maintenance income As discussed in note 2, the Group estimates the maintenance income on a stage of completion approach. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including an estimation of the stage of completion and the profit margin to be achieved over the life of the contract. Annual Report 2014 51 Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions continued Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 2. The recoverable amounts of cash‑generating units, to which these assets belong, have been determined based on value‑ in‑use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. Residual values As discussed in note 2, the Group has entered into various agreements with its financiers relating to residual value risk inherent in operating lease assets being transferred to the Group at the end of the underlying lease agreement. A provision is raised where the forecast loss on disposal of the assets in the pool exceeds the expected future fee income that the pool will generate. The expected future income is estimated based on past experience and likely market conditions at the time of disposal of the assets. 52 SG Fleet Group Limited Notes to the financial statements30 June 2014 Note 4. Operating segments Identification of reportable operating segments The Group is organised into geographic operating segments: Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Corporate. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers (‘CODM’)) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no aggregation of operating segments. The CODM reviews segment results based on Profit Before Tax (‘PBT’). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. Intersegment receivables, payables and loans Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or incur non‑market interest are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. Intersegment loans are eliminated on consolidation. Major customers There are no major customers that contributed more than 10% of revenue to the Group.

Intangibles continued Impairment testing for goodwill The impairment test was based on a value‑in‑use approach. The recoverable amount was determined to be higher than the carrying amount and therefore no impairment loss was recognised. Value‑in‑use was determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from the continuing use of the business and was based on the following key assumptions: • cash flows were projected based on actual operating results and the four‑year business plan. Cash flow beyond Year 4 was projected at a growth rate of 0%; • 7.6% p.a. projected revenue growth rate; • direct costs were forecast based on the margins historically achieved by the business; • overheads were forecast based on current levels adjusted for inflationary increases; and • the Company’s pre‑tax weighted average cost of capital was applied in determining the recoverable amount. The discount rate was estimated using the Capital Asset Pricing model. The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the industry and are based on both external and internal data sources. Sensitivity analysis Management estimates that any reasonable changes in the key assumptions would not have a significant impact on the value‑in‑use of intangible assets and goodwill that would require the assets to be impaired.

Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The policy is also to maintain a strong capital base. The Group is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these are given priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial period. Note 23.

Equity – reserves continued Foreign currency reserve The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from translation of the financial statements of foreign operations to Australian Dollars. Share-based payments reserve The reserve is used to recognise the value of equity benefits provided to employees and Directors as part of their remuneration, and other parties as part of their compensation for services. Capital reserve The reserve is used to recognise contributions from or to SG Fleet Group Limited and its controlled subsidiaries by shareholders. Group reorganisation – SG Fleet Group Limited and SG Fleet Holdings Pty Limited When SG Fleet Solutions Pty Limited, a subsidiary of SG Fleet Group Limited (the legal parent and legal acquirer), acquired SG Fleet Holdings Pty Limited and its subsidiaries (the legal subsidiary), the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 ‘Business Combinations’. Instead, the combination has been treated as a group reorganisation, through an accounting policy choice using the common control method, as follows: • The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments have been made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities, that would otherwise be required under AASB 3; • No ‘new’ goodwill has been recognised as a result of the combination. The only goodwill that has been recognised is the existing goodwill of SG Holdings Pty Limited. The difference between the consideration paid of $232,768,000 and the equity ‘acquired’ of $113,610,000 is reflected in equity as a ‘capital reserve’ of $119,158,000; and • The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflects the results of the combined entities from 6 March 2014.

Note 26. Financial instruments Financial risk management objectives The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board has established an Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, which is responsible for managing risk. The Committee reports to the Board on its activities. 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 its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Market risk Foreign currency risk The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters. The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date was as follows: Consolidated Pound Sterling New Zealand Dollars 66 SG Fleet Group Limited Assets 30 Jun 2014 $’000 Liabilities 30 Jun 2014 $’000 14,426 4,510 18,936 6,279 987 7,266 Notes to the financial statements30 June 2014 Note 26. Financial instruments continued The Group had net assets denominated in foreign currencies of $11,670,000 (assets $18,936,000 less liabilities $7,266,000) as at 30 June 2014. Based on this exposure, had the Australian Dollar weakened by 10% / strengthened by 10% against these foreign currencies with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before tax for the financial period would have been $1,167,000 higher / lower and equity would have been $1,167,000 higher / lower. The percentage change is the expected overall volatility of the significant currencies, which is based on management’s assessment of reasonable possible fluctuations taking into consideration movements. Price risk The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk. Interest rate risk The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from its borrowings and cash at bank. Borrowings and cash at bank issued at variable rates expose the Group to interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value risk. The policy is to ensure that at least 60% of its exposure to changes in interest rates on general borrowings, other than lease portfolio borrowings, is on a fixed rate basis. Lease portfolio borrowings are entered into on a fixed interest rate basis, except for lease portfolio borrowings utilised to fund lease portfolio assets in inertia which are entered into on a variable rate basis. As at the reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate bank accounts and other facilities: Consolidated Lease portfolio facilities Residual value payables to financiers Cash at bank Secured deposits Net exposure to cash flow interest rate risk 30 Jun 2014 Weighted average interest rate % 6.21% 3.99% 2.96% 3.70% Balance $’000 (6,558) (3,541) 45,352 12,554 47,807 An official increase / decrease in interest rates of 50 basis points would have a favourable / adverse effect on profit before tax and equity of $239,000 per annum. The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts’ forecasts. Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral. Liquidity risk Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they become due and payable. Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash or facilities on demand to meet expected operational expenses for a period of 90 days, including the servicing of financial obligations. This excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value measurement There were no assets or liabilities either measured or disclosed at fair value at the reporting date. Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short‑term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

Under these agreements, the Group is obliged to pay the guaranteed residual value amount at the end of their contractual lease term and sell the vehicle. Bank guarantees and letters of credit have been issued as security for these obligations. The Group has executed certain guarantees and indemnities, as well as fixed and floating charges over the assets of the Group in favour of funders as security for banking and lease portfolio facilities provided to the Group.
