7)  REVIEW OF OPERATIONS 

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT 
295 Canning Highway, Como, Western Australia 

The  Company  has  a 50% interest in  the  property  at  295  Canning  Highway,  Como,  pursuant  to  a  Joint  Venture  for 
Profit Sharing Agreement between the Company and S & A Holding (Aust) Pty Ltd. 

The development of 3 two storey townhouses was completed during the financial year, on time and within budget. 

On  19  January  2016,  the  Company  confirmed  the  settlement  of 295B  Canning  Highway,  Como,  with  net proceeds 
from  the  sale  of  the  property  totaling  approximately  $707,500,  of  which  the  Company  received  50%  of  the  net 
proceeds. 

On  22  January  2016,  the  Company  confirmed  the  settlement  of 295A  Canning  Highway,  Como,  with  net proceeds 
from  the  sale  of  the  property  totaling  approximately  $585,000,  of  which  the  Company  received  50%  of  the  net 
proceeds. 

295C Canning Highway, Como is currently on the market for sale, however, weaker market conditions since the new 
year and a substantial amount of competing stock being on the market at the same time in Como, have resulted in 
the sale process taking longer to ensure we maximise returns. 

3 Oak Street, Cannington, Western Australia 

During  the  financial  year,  the  Company  re-submitted  to  the  City  of  Canning,  development  approval  plans  for  the 
construction of 12 apartments at 3 Oak Street, Cannington.  

On 2 February 2016 the Company received development approval (subject to conditions) from the City of Canning for 
the  construction  of  12  apartments  at  3  Oak  Street,  Cannington,  with  each  apartment  having  2  bedrooms  and  2 
bathrooms. 

Since receiving development approval, the Company has proceeded to obtain full costings for the development, as 
well as indicative pre-sale pricing, given current weak market conditions, prior to proceeding with construction. 

The market for pre-sales for apartments continues to remain weak and the Company will only look to proceed with 
the development if market conditions improve or a joint venture partner comes in to fund the development. 

19-21 Tate Street, Bentley, Western Australia 

On 5 August 2015, the Company settled the acquisition of 19 & 21 Tate Street, Bentley. 

During the financial year the Company applied for and received authority to amalgamate 19 & 21 Tate Street, Bentley 
into one property, and development approval (subject to conditions) from the City of Canning for the construction of 
14  apartments  at  19  &  21  Tate  Street,  Bentley,  with  10  apartments  having  2  bedrooms  and  2  bathrooms  and  4 
apartments having 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. 

Since receiving development approval, the Company has proceeded to obtain full costings for the development, as 
well as indicative pre-sale pricing, given current weak market conditions, prior to proceeding with construction. 

The market for pre-sales for apartments continues to remain weak and the Company will only look to proceed with 
the development if market conditions improve or a joint venture partner comes in to fund the development.

13)  REMUNERATION REPORT 

This Remuneration Report covers the following Key Management Personnel: 

Directors 
(Simon) Xing Yan  
George Lazarou 
Eric Kong 
Feng Ding (Resigned 6 October 2015) 

Other  than  the  directors,  the  Company  does  not  currently  have  any  other  employees.  Executive  directors  and  any 
personnel in the senior management position are collectively referred to as executives in this Report. 

Remuneration Policy 
The  remuneration  policy  of  the  Company  has  been  designed  to  align  directors’  and  executives’  objectives  with 
shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component which is assessed on an annual 
basis in line with market rates and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting 
the  Company’s  financial  results.  The  board  believes  the  remuneration  policy  to  be  appropriate  and  effective  in  its 
ability to attract and retain the best directors and executives to run and manage the Company.  The  board’s  policy  for 
determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and executives of the Company is as follows: 

Executive Remuneration Policy 
The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives (or 
collectively  “executives”),  was  developed  by  the  board.  All  executives  receive  a  base  salary  (which  is  based  on 
factors  such  as  length  of  service  and  experience)  and  superannuation.  The  board  reviews  executive  packages 
annually  by  reference  to  the  Company’s  performance,  executive’s  performance  and  comparable  information  from 
industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. 

The board may exercise discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options. The policy is to attract 
the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder’s 
wealth. 

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements. The executive directors 
receive  a  superannuation  guarantee  contribution  required  by  the  government,  which  is  currently  9.5%  and  do  not 
receive any other retirement benefits. 

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the  Company and expensed. Shares given 
to directors and executives are valued as the difference between the market price of those shares and the amount 
paid by the director or executive. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes method. 

Non-Executive Remuneration Policy 
The  board’s  policy  is  to  remunerate  non-executive  directors  at  market  rates  for  comparable  companies  for  time, 
commitment  and  responsibilities.  The  board  determines  payments  to  the  non-executive  directors  and  reviews  their 
remuneration annually,  based  on  market  practice,  duties  and  accountability.  Independent  external  advice  is sought 
when  required.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  of  fees  that  can  be  paid  to  non-executive  directors  is  subject  to 
approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, (currently $250,000). Fees for non-executive directors are 
not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ and executives’ interests with shareholder 
interests,  non-executive  directors  are  encouraged to  hold shares in  the  company  and  are  able  to  participate in  the 
employee option plan. 

Performance based remuneration 
The Company has no performance based remuneration component built into executive remuneration packages. Non-
executive directors’ remuneration are not performance based. 

Company performance, shareholder’s wealth and director’s and executive’s remuneration 
The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  goal  congruence  between  shareholders  and  directors  and 
executives.  Currently,  this  is  facilitated  through  the  issue  of  options  to  the  majority  of  directors  and  executives  to 
encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The Company believes the policy will be effective in 
increasing shareholder’s wealth. For details of directors’ interests in options at year end, refer the Directors’ Report.

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 1:  STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The  financial  report  is  a  general  purpose  financial  report  that  has  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian 
Accounting  Standards  including  Australian  Accounting  Interpretations,  other  authoritative  pronouncements  of  the 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  Company  is  a  for-profit  entity  for 
financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 

The financial report covers the Company of Ultima United Limited and has been prepared in Australian dollars. Ultima 
United Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial 
report  containing  relevant  and  reliable  information  about  transactions,  events  and  conditions  to  which  they  apply. 
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with 
International Financial Reporting Standards.   

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the entity in the preparation of the financial 
report. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. 

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  an  accruals  basis  and  is  based  on  historical  costs  modified  by  the 
revaluation  of  selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  for  which  the  fair  value  basis  of 
accounting has been applied. 

(a) Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions 
The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are often determined based on estimates and  assumptions of 
future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period are: 

Share based payment transactions 
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the 
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using 
Black-Scholes option pricing model. 

Impairment 
The Company assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific 
to  the  Company  that  may  be  indicative  of  impairment  triggers.  Recoverable  amounts  of  relevant  assets  are 
reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions. 

Environmental Issues  
Balances  disclosed  in  the  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  are  not  adjusted  for  any  pending  or  enacted 
environmental  legislation,  and  the  directors  understanding  thereof.  At  the  current  stage  of  the  Company’s 
development  and  its  current  environmental  impact  the  directors  believe  such  treatment  is  reasonable  and 
appropriate. 

Taxation  
Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation,  and are based on the best 
estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the financial performance and position of the company 
as  they  pertain  to  current  income  taxation  legislation,  and  the  directors  understanding  thereof.  No  adjustment  has 
been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors’ best 
estimate, pending an assessment by the Australian Taxation Office. 

(b) Revenue 
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the 
revenue  can  be  reliably  measured.  The  following  specific  recognition  criteria  must  also  be  met  before  revenue  is 
recognised: 

Interest 
Revenue is recognised as the interest accrues.   

(c) Earnings Per Share 
The  Company  presents  basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  (“EPS”)  data  for  its  ordinary  shares.  Basic  EPS  is 
calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members for the reporting period, after excluding any costs 
of  servicing  equity,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  of  the  Company,  adjusted  for  any  bonus 
issue. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(d) Impairment of Assets 
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where 
an  indication  of  impairment  exists,  the  Company  makes  a  formal  estimate  of  recoverable  amount.  Where  carrying 
amount  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  recoverable  amount  the  asset  is  considered  impaired  and  is  written  down  to  its 
recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. It is determined for an individual 
asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and it does 
not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or Company assets, in which case, 
the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

In  assessing  value  in  use,  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  are  discounted  to  their  present  value  using  a  pre-tax 
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. 

(e) Income Tax 
Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  on  all  temporary  differences  at  the  balance  sheet  date  between  the  tax  bases  of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences: 

  except  where  the  deferred  income  tax  liability  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a 
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither that accounting  
profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and 

 

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests 
in  joint  ventures,  except  where  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary  differences  will  not  reverse  in  the 
foreseeable future. 

Deferred  income  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  all  deductible  temporary  differences,  carry-forward  of  unused  tax 
assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the 
deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised: 

  except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial 
recognition  of  an  asset  or  liability  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business  combination  and,  at  the  time  of  the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss; and 

 

in respect of deductible temporary differences with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint 
ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences 
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences 
can be utilised. 

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent 
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax 
asset to be utilised. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when 
the  asset  is  realised  or  the  liability  is  settled,  based  on  tax  rates  (and  tax  laws)  that  have  been  enacted  or 
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. 

(f)  Goods and Services Tax (GST) 
Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the  amount  of  GST,  except  where  the  amount  of  GST 
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”).  In these circumstances the GST is recognised as 
part  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  of  the  asset or  as  part  of  an  item  of  the  expense.    Receivables  and  payables  in  the 
Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. 

The  net  amount  of  GST  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  ATO  is  included  as  a  current  asset  or  liability  in  the 
Statement of Financial Position. 

Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising 
from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating 
cash flows.

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(g) Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  banks,  other  short-term  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within 
short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. 

(h) Trade and Other Receivables 
Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less 
an  allowance  for  any  uncollectible  amounts.  An  allowance  for  doubtful  debts  is  made  when  there  is  objective 
evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. 

Receivables  from  related  parties  are  recognised  and  carried  at  the  nominal  amount  due.  Interest  is  taken  up  as 
income on an accrual basis. 

(i)  Interest in Joint Venture (Equity Accounted Investee) 
These  are  investments  where  the  Company  has  joint  control,  established  by  contractual  agreement  and  requiring 
unanimous  consent  for  strategic  and  operating  decisions.  Such  investments  are  accounted  for  using  the  equity 
method  (Equity  Accounted  Investees)  and  are initially  recognised  at  cost  under  AASB 11  Joint  Arrangements.  The 
financial  statements  include  the  Company’s  share  of  the  income  and  expenses  and  equity  movements  of  Equity 
Accounted Investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company, from the date that 
the  joint  control  commences  until  the  date  joint  control  ceases.  When  the  Company’s  share  of  losses  exceeds  its 
interest in an Equity Accounted Investee, the carrying amount of that interest is reduced to nil and the  recognition of 
further  losses  is  discontinued  except  to  the  extent  that  the  Company  has  an  obligation  or  has  made  payments  on 
behalf of the Equity Accounted Investee. Such investments are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount 
and the recoverable amount. Investments in joint ventures are treated as current assets where it is expected that the 
investment will be realised within a twelve month time frame. 

(j)  Property held for development and resale 
Property  held  for  development  and  resale  comprises  land  held  for  development,  contract  costs  and  other  holding 
costs incurred to date. 

Costs include the cost of acquisition, development, interest on funds borrowed for the development and holding costs 
until completion of the development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development are expensed. Profit is 
recognised on an individual contract basis generally at settlement. 

(k) Plant and Equipment 
Plant  and  equipment  are  measured  on  the  cost  basis.  The  carrying  amount  of  plant  and  equipment  is  reviewed 
annually  by  directors  to  ensure  it  is  not  in  excess  of  the  recoverable  amount  from  these  assets.  The  recoverable 
amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment 
and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining 
recoverable amounts. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of plant and equipment is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful 
life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.  

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 
Plant and equipment 
Furniture and Fittings 
Software 

Depreciation Rate 
33.00% 
11.25% 
33.00% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. 
An asset’s  carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is 
greater  than  its  estimated  recoverable  amount.  Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing 
proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that 
asset are transferred to retained earnings. 

(l)  Trade and Other Payables 
Liabilities for trade creditors and other amounts are carried at cost which is the fair value of consideration to be paid 
in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. 

Payables to related parties are carried at the principal amount. Interest, when charged by the lender, is recognised as 
an expense on an accrual basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(m)  Issued Capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in  equity as a reduction of the 
share proceeds received. 

(n)  Financial Instruments 
Recognition and initial measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
to  the  instrument.  For  financial  assets,  this  is  equivalent  to  the  date  that  the  company  commits  itself  to  either  the 
purchase or sale of the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial  instruments  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs,  except  where  the  instrument  is 
classified  ‘at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss’,  in  which  case  transaction  costs  are  expensed  to  profit  or  loss 
immediately. 

Classification and subsequent measurement 
Financial  instruments are subsequently measured  at  either of  fair  value, amortised cost  using the effective  interest 
rate method, or cost.  Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, 
between knowledgeable, willing parties.  Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine 
fair value.  In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 

Amortised cost is calculated as: 
(a) 
(b) 
(c) 

the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; 
less principal repayments; 
plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised 
and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and 
less any reduction for impairment 

(d) 

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is 
equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction 
costs  and  other  premiums  or  discounts)  through  the  expected  life  (or  when  this  cannot  be  reliably  predicted,  the 
contractual  term)  of  the  financial  instrument  to  the  net  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset  or  financial  liability. 
Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential 
recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. 

The Company does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to 
the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.   

(i)  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either held for trading for the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as 
such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is 
managed  by  key  management  personnel  on  a  fair  value  basis  in  accordance  with  a  documented  risk 
management  or  investment  strategy.  Such  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  with  changes  in 
carrying value being included in profit or loss. 

(ii)  Held-to-maturity investments 

Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  have  fixed  maturities  and  fixed  or 
determinable  payments,  and  it  is  the  Company’s  intention  to  hold  these  investments  to  maturity.    They  are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature 
within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other investments are classified as current assets.) 

If during the period the Company sold or reclassified more than an insignificant amount of the held-to-maturity 
investments before maturity, the entire held-to-maturity investments category would be tainted and reclassified 
as available-for-sale. 

(iii)  Available-for-sale financial assets 

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified 
into  other  categories  of  financial  assets  due  to  their  nature,  or  they  are  designated  as  such  by  management. 
They  comprise  investments  in  the  equity  of  other  entities  where  there  is  neither  a  fixed  maturity  nor  fixed  or 
determinable payments. 

Available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  included  in  non-current  assets,  except  for  those  which  are  expected  to 
mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other financial assets are classified as current 
assets).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(iv)  Financial liabilities 

Non-derivative  financial  liabilities  (excluding  financial  guarantees)  are  subsequently  measured  at  amortised 
cost. 

Fair value 
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to 
determine  the  fair  value  for  all  unlisted  securities,  including  recent  arm’s  length  transactions,  reference  to  similar 
instruments and option pricing models. 

Impairment 
At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Company  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument  has  been  impaired.  In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  instruments,  a  prolonged  decline  in  the 
value  of  the  instrument  is  considered  to  determine  whether  a  impairment  has  arisen.  Impairment  losses  are 
recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 

De-recognition 
Financial  assets  are  de-recognised  where  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt  of  cash  flows  expires  or  the  asset  is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and 
benefits  associated  with  the  asset.  Financial  liabilities  are  de-recognised  where  the  related  obligations  are 
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or 
transferred  to  another  party  and  the  fair  value  of  consideration  paid,  including  the  transfer  of  non-cash  assets  or 
liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

Impairment of Assets 
At each the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may 
be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including 
dividends  received  from  subsidiaries,  associates  or  jointly  controlled  entities  deemed  to  be  out  of  pre-acquisition 
profits.  If  such  an  indication  exists,  an  impairment  test  is  carried  out  on  the  asset  by  comparing  the  recoverable 
amount  of  the  asset,  being  the  higher  of  the  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use,  to  the  asset’s 
carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement 
of comprehensive income. 

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Company  estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. 

(o)  Comparatives 
When  required  by  Accounting  Standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

(p)    Employee Benefits 
Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to 
balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within 1 year have been measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than 1 year have been measured 
at  the  present  value  of  the  estimated  future  cash  outflows  to  be  made  for  those  benefits.  Those  cashflows  are 
discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing 
of cashflows. 

(q) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods 
Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the company, together with an 
assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the company when adopted  in future periods, are 
discussed below: 

-  AASB  9:  Financial  Instruments  and  associated  Amending Standards  (applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods 

beginning on or after 1 January 2018). 

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) 
and  includes  revised  requirements  for  the  classification  and  measurement  of  financial  instruments,  revised 
recognition  and  derecognition  requirements  for  financial  instruments,  and  simplified  requirements  for  hedge 
accounting. 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The  key  changes  that  may  affect  the  company  on  initial  application  include  certain  simplifications  to  the 
classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting 
for expected credit loss, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity 
instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model 
for  hedge  accounting  that  will  allow  greater  flexibility  in  the  ability  to  hedge  risk,  particularly  with  respect  to 
hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge 
accounting requirements of the Standard, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective. 

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 may have an impact on the company’s financial 
instruments, including any hedging activity, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of 
such impact. 

-  AASB  15:  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (applicable  to  annual  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or 
after  1  January  2018,  as  deferred  by  AASB  2015-8:  Amendments  to  Australian  Accounting  Standards  – 
Effective Date of AASB 15). 

When  effective,  this  Standard  will  replace  the  current  accounting  requirements  applicable  to  revenue  with a 
single, principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue 
model  in  AASB  15  will  apply  to  all  contracts  with  customers  as  well  as  non-monetary  exchanges  between 
entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. 

The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised 
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be 
entitled in exchange for the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-
step process: 

identify the contract(s) with a customer; 
identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 

- 
- 
-  determine the transaction price; 
-  allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and 
- 

recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. 

This Standard will require retrospective restatement, as well as enhanced disclosures regarding revenue. 

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 15 may have an impact on the company’s financial 
statements, it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 

-  AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). 

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 
117: Leases and related Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates 
the requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. 

The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: 

- 

recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 
12 months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); 

-  depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss 

and unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; 

-  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the 

lease liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; 

-  by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components 

and instead account for all components as a lease; and 

-  additional disclosure requirements. 

The  transitional  provisions  of  AASB  16  allow  a  lessee  to  either  retrospectively  apply  the  Standard  to 
comparatives  in  line  with  AASB  108:  Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in  Accounting  Estimates  and  Errors  or 
recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of 
initial application. 

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will impact the company's financial statements, 
it is impracticable at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of such impact. 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 11th day of August 2016 by the board of directors.

NOTE 7:  INTERESTS IN JOINT VENTURE 

On 29 November 2013, the Company received shareholder approval to enter into a Joint Venture and Profit Sharing 
Agreement between S & A Holding (Aust) Pty Ltd (“S & A Holding”) and the Company to develop the property at 295 
Canning Highway, Como (“Como Property”). Mr Simon Yan, the managing director of the Company, is a director and 
shareholder of S & A Holding.  

Under the terms of the agreement, S & A Holding and the Company formed an unincorporated joint venture for the 
purpose  of  sharing  profits  from  the  completion  of  the  Como  Property  development.  Council  approval  for  the 
development was received on 10 July 2014 with the construction commencing thereafter.   

At 30 June 2016, the Company had incurred total minimum expenditure to earn the following interest in the JV profits: 

(a) S & A Holding – 50%; and 
(b) the Company  – 50%. 

Each  party  must  now  contribute  to  expenditure  made  or  incurred  in  respect  of  the  Como  Property  development  in 
proportion to their interest in the profits or the Joint Venture (i.e. 50/50). 

Under the JV Agreement, the liability of the parties in each case is several in proportion to their respective interests in 
the profits of the Joint Venture and shall not be either joint or joint and several. 

In accordance with AASB11, this interest is Equity Accounted and information about this Joint Venture is presented

(b)  Terms of Ordinary Shares 
Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number 
of shares held and in proportion to the amount paid up on the shares held. 

At shareholders meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote in proportion to the paid up amount of the share 
when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands. 

(c)  Capital risk management  
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that 
it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 

Given  the  former  nature of the  Company’s  activities  in mineral exploration, it  does  not have  ready access  to credit 
facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Company’s capital 
risk  management  was  to  balance  its  working  capital  position  against  the  requirements  of  the  Company  to  meet 
exploration programmes and overheads. This was achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated 
operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. With the Company changing 
its principal activities to property development, the Company’s capital risk management remains largely unchanged 
by  maintaining  appropriate  liquidity  to  meet  anticipated  development  costs  in  conjunction  with  obtaining  credit 
facilities and through sales of properties development. 

The working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 are as follows: 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Trade and other receivables 

Financial assets at fair value through Profit and Loss 

Trade and other payables

NOTE 18:  RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURE 
Key management personnel 
Disclosures relating to key management personnel are set out in the Directors’ Report. 

Ultima United Limited - Annual Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2016 

NOTE 19:  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
(i)  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES  
The  Company’s  principal  financial  instruments  comprise  cash  and  short  term  deposits.  The  main  purpose  of  the 
financial instruments is to earn the maximum amount of interest at a low risk to the Company. The Company also has 
other financial instruments such as trade debtors and creditors which arise directly from its operations. For the  year 
under review, it has been the Company’s policy not to trade in financial instruments. 

The directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets, whilst 
minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. 

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board of Directors on a regular basis.  These include 
the credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. 

Financial Risk Exposures and Management 
The  main  risks  arising  from  the  Company’s  financial  instruments  are  interest  rate  risk  and  credit  risk.  The  board 
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below: 

(a)  Foreign Currency Risk 

The Company is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. 

(b) 

Interest Rate Risk 
The  Company  is  exposed  to  movements  in  market  interest  rates  on  short  term  deposits.  The  policy  is  to 
monitor the interest rate yield curve out to 120 days to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of 
cash assets and the interest rate return.  The Company does not currently have short or long term debt, and 
therefore this risk is minimal. 

(c)  Credit Risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the Company. The Company has adopted the policy of only dealing with credit worthy counterparties 
and  obtaining  sufficient  collateral  or  other  security  where  appropriate,  as  a  means  of  mitigating  the  risk  of 
financial loss from defaults. 

The Company does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any Company 
of  counterparties  having  similar  characteristics.  The  carrying  amount  of  financial  assets  recorded  in  the 
financial statements, net of any provisions for losses, represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit 
risk. 

(d)  Liquidity Risk 

The  Company  manages  liquidity  risk  by  monitoring  forecast  cash  flows.  The  Company  does  not  have  any 
significant liquidity risk as the Company does not currently have any collateral debts. 

(e)  Market Risk 

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

(iii)  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity. 

Listed investments have been valued at the quoted market bid price at balance date, adjusted for transaction costs 
expected to be incurred. For unlisted investments where there is no organised financial market, the net fair value has 
been based on a reasonable estimation of the underlying net assets or discounted cash flows of the investment.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS 

(iv) 
At  30  June  2016,  the  effect  on  loss  and  equity  as  a  result  of  changes  in  the  interest  rate,  with  all  other  variable 
remaining constant would be as follows: 

CHANGE IN PROFIT/(LOSS) 

Increase in interest rate by 2% 

Decrease in interest rate by 2%

The  above  interest  rate  sensitivity  analysis  has  been  performed  on  the  assumption  that  all  other  variables  remain 
unchanged. 

(v)  PRICE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS 
Management believes the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation of listed investments and recorded in the 
statement  of  financial  position  and  the  related  changes  in  fair  values  recorded  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income are reasonable and the most appropriate at Statement of Financial Position date. At 30 June 2016, the effect 
on  loss  as  a  result  of  changes  in  the  share  price  of  listed  investment,  with  all  other  variables  remaining  constant 
would be as follows: 

CHANGE IN PROFIT/(LOSS) 

Increase in fair value of investment by 10%

NOTE 22:  OPERATING SEGMENTS 

Segment Information 

Identification of reportable segments 

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the 
Board of Directors in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. 

During the previous financial year the Board made the decision to a shift its activities from resource exploration, in an 
effort to increase shareholder value. The Company is now managed primarily on the basis of property development 
and corporate activities. 

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to 
have similar economic characteristics. 

Types of reportable segments 

(i) 

Property Development 

Segment assets, including acquisition cost of property development and all expenses related to the property 
are reported on in this segment. 

(ii) 

Corporate 

Corporate, including treasury, corporate and regulatory expenses arising from operating an ASX listed entity. 
Segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, and investments in financial assets are reported in this 
segment. 

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments 

Accounting policies adopted 
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors as the chief decision maker with  respect to 
operating segments are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to those adopted in the 
annual financial statements of the Company. 

Segment assets 
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of 
economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of 
their nature and physical location. 

Unless  indicated  otherwise  in  the  segment  assets  note,  deferred  tax  assets  and  intangible  assets  have  not  been 
allocated to operating segments.

Segment liabilities 
Liabilities  are  allocated  to  segments  where  there  is  direct  nexus  between  the  incurrence  of  the  liability  and  the 
operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Company as a whole 
and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables. 

The following items of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not 
considered part of the core operations of any segment: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

net gains on disposal of available-for-sale investments; 

impairment of assets and other non-recurring items of revenue or expense; 

income tax expense;

Report on the Financial Report 
We  have  audited  the  accompanying  financial  report  of  Ultima  United  Limited,  which  comprises  the  statement  of 
financial position as at 30 June 2016, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement 
of  changes  in  equity  and  the  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of 
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as 
the  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the  preparation  of  the  financial  report  that  is  free  from  material 
misstatement,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  Note  1,  the  directors  also  state,  in  accordance  with  Accounting 
Standard  AASB  101:  Presentation  of  Financial  Statements,  that  the  financial  statements  comply  with  International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  financial  report  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audit  in 
accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Those  standards  require  that  we  comply  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether 
the financial report is free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement  of  the  financial  report,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error.  In  making  those  risk  assessments,  the  auditor 
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to 
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion 
on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s  internal  control.
An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the  appropriateness  of 
accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  made  by  the  directors,  as  well  as 
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. 

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

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the  Corporations Act 2001. We 
confirm  that  the  independence  declaration  required  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  which  has  been  given  to  the 
directors  of  Ultima  United  Limited,  would  be  in  the  same  terms  if  provided  to  the  directors  as  at  the  time  of  this 
auditor’s report.
