CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Financial Results
The Company recorded a net loss after tax of $2.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 (2014: profit $2.7 million). However, on the positive side, the year under review saw an improved performance at the operating level. Trading EBITDA* of $13 million was higher than the $9.2 million reported in 2014. Statutory EBITDA was negatively impacted by the material fall in LME aluminium prices and market premiums in the second half of the year, which resulted in a $7 million write down of inventory during the year compared to a $3.2 million positive inventory revaluation in 2014. This $10.2 million year on year swing in inventory valuation, together with one-off costs of $0.9 million (2014: $1.4million), saw the Company’s Statutory EBITDA reduce from $11 million in 2014 to $5.1 million in 2015. Refer to page 4 of the 2015 Full Year Results Presentation lodged today for the reconciliation of Trading and Statutory EBITDA.
2015 revenues of $403 million increased over the $375 million reported in 2014. This 7.5% increase in revenues was primarily driven by the resurgent residential construction market and some favourable antidumping outcomes which are having a positive impact on local extrusion volumes.
Management continued to deliver meaningful cost savings and efficiencies through productivity improvements, which played a significant part in the uplift in the trading result. Positive net cash flows resulted in year-end net cash on hand increasing by $3.6 million to $20.1 million (2014: $16.5 million).
While the Company continues to face competitive challenges, volumes of low priced Chinese imports are slowing, with a positive impact on Australian extruders. This, combined with the strong dwelling construction currently taking place, has gone some way to reduce the excess capacity in local aluminium extrusion. As a result of these factors and the Company’s continued focus on cost reduction and efficiencies, the Company is forecasting an increase in profits in 2016. I refer shareholders to the Outlook section of the Managing Director’s Operations and Financial Review.
Safety
Despite the Company’s strong commitment to safety, the year under review saw the key safety measurement of total reportable lost time and medically treated injuries per million work hours slip back to 2012 levels although the severity of these injuries was at an all-time low. We will continue to focus on a safer work environment and strive to improve our safety record.
Dividends
No dividends have been declared or paid for the Financial Year. If the 2016 forecast earnings referred to in the Outlook section of the Managing Director’s Operations and Financial Review are achieved, and absent any unforeseen events, Capral would be in a position to consider a fully franked dividend.
I would like to extend the Board’s appreciation to all of Capral’s stakeholders and especially the entire Capral team for their ongoing commitment and support. I thank my co-directors for their continued support.
Rex Wood-Ward Chairman 19 February 2016
- Trading EBITDA is the Statutory EBITDA adjusted for significant items that are material items of revenue or expense that are unrelated to the underlying performance of the business. Capral believes that Trading EBITDA provides a better understanding of its financial performance and allows for a more relevant comparison of financial performance between financial periods. These items are LME and Premium revaluation, and one-off costs relating to restructuring that are non-recurring in nature. Trading EBITDA is presented with reference to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission Regulatory Guide 230 “Disclosing non-IFRS financial information” issued in December 2011
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Capral Limited
MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
During 2015 Capral experienced fluctuating market conditions. The first half of the year was relatively soft with the strength in the housing market offset by weakness in the industrial segments (manufacturing, transport and marine). During the second half, market conditions strengthened considerably as a result of a buoyant housing market, some improvement in the industrial segments, and positive outcomes from anti-dumping reviews.
Dwelling commencements for the year ended June 2015 grew by 17% to a very high 211,500. This was driven by the high density sector, up 43%. The new housing and medium density sectors, which have a greater influence on Capral’s volumes, grew by a more modest 9%.
The weakening of the Australian dollar assists Capral’s competitiveness against imports and also assists our local manufacturing customers that have survived three to four years of sustained strength in the Australian currency. Unfortunately a number of Australian manufacturing businesses either closed, or moved their operations off-shore, during this period and are unlikely to return.
The year started with metal costs at multi-year highs but midway through 2015 aluminium costs (both LME and premiums) collapsed. Trading margins were adversely impacted in the first half but were restored to equilibrium in the second half. The collapse in metal cost resulted in a write down of inventory during the period.
Capral delivered an improved Trading EBITDA¹ of $13.0 million (2014: $9.2 million) on sales revenue growth of 7.5%. Statutory EBITDA of $5.1 million (2014: $11.0 million) included a negative inventory revaluation of $7.0 million and one-off costs of $0.9 million which mainly consisted of restructuring costs relating to completing the OneSteel Aluminium integration. Refer to page 4 of the 2015 Full Year Results Presentation lodged today for the reconciliation of Trading and Statutory EBITDA.
Capral recorded a net loss after tax of $2.5 million (2014: profit $2.7 million). The net cash position improved by $3.6 million during the year, primarily as a result of reduced inventory levels and metal cost. The balance sheet remains strong with net cash of $20.1 million at year end.
Key Initiatives and Strategies
The key high level strategies remain consistent:
-
Build on our strengths; product offer, scale, capability and our people.
-
Optimise what we do; improve efficiencies in manufacturing and supply chain.
-
Grow for the future; innovative new products and services and capitalise on anti-dumping outcomes.
Cost management initiatives are a key focus for the business as we continue our lean management programme to enable us to compete effectively against both imports and independent local extruders.
The fastest growing market sector is high density dwellings which has in recent years been dominated by imports of fully assembled windows. Capral is working with our key customers to develop innovative solutions to provide us with an opportunity to capture a share of this market.
Fair Trade
Capral continues to take the lead industry role in taking effective action against imports of dumped aluminium extrusions into the Australian market. During 2015 a number of positive outcomes were achieved on this front. These include:
-
The finding by the Anti-Dumping Commission of anti-circumvention activities by the largest exporter of aluminium extrusions from China to Australia. This was followed by the closure of their related import businesses.
-
A full review of the 2010 dumping duties was concluded with the Anti-Dumping Commission finding ongoing dumping of aluminium extrusions from China. Overall increased anti-dumping measures were imposed.
-
Continuation of the measures for a further five years to 2020.

Capral Limited
These outcomes have started to have a positive impact for local extruders. Combined with the weaker Australian dollar this has recently resulted in reasonable volume returning on-shore.
The battle for fair trade continues as we see new exporters and importers from various countries attempt to establish themselves in the Australian market.
Safety
Capral continues to prioritise the safety of its employees with an ongoing focus on safety training, systems and culture. During 2015 Capral maintained its AS4801 safety management accreditation on all its sites. TRIFR rose to 13.3 (injuries per 1 million hours worked) albeit the severity rate fell by 32% to a new low of 51 (days lost per million hours worked).
Outlook
External forecasts are for the housing market to remain strong throughout 2016 with starts forecast to remain at the current high levels. Pent up demand and a strong pipeline for home builders will have a positive impact on volumes for the year ahead.
We also expect to see an improvement in the transport and industrial sectors as infrastructure projects progress and the lower Australian dollar assists local manufacturers.
Improved market conditions are forecast to grow sales revenue and earnings in 2016. Trading and Statutory EBITDA¹ is forecast to lift and deliver a full year result between $13 million and $15 million.
The team at Capral is committed to developing a sustainably profitable business that will provide quality products and service for our customers, secure the future of our employees, and deliver good returns to our shareholders.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Capral Limited
REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This report sets out Capral’s remuneration of its directors and executives. It also details the actual remuneration of its key management personnel (including the directors) during the Financial Year.
assessed. These are set by reference to financial targets and key business strategies.
-
A review of performance against the previously agreed objectives for the period under review. Employee comment and feedback.
-
Short and long term training and development needs and career aspirations.
Section 1: The Remuneration Framework
(a) Key Principles
Capral’s remuneration framework and practices are based on the principles that remuneration is performance driven, aligns with shareholder interests, provides market competitive remuneration that attracts qualified and experienced candidates, and retains and motivates employees.
The variable components of remuneration (short and long term) are driven by challenging targets focused on both external and internal measures of financial and nonfinancial performance. Details of performances measures are set out in sections 1(g) and 1(h) below. Executive remuneration is aligned with shareholder interests via an emphasis on variable (incentive) remuneration, the award of which is linked to performance benchmarks that support business strategies and future success. A significant proportion of executive remuneration is at-risk. Details of the link between performance and remuneration is set out in section 4.
(b) Role of Remuneration & Nomination Committee
The Remuneration & Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors ( the Board ) on remuneration policies for Capral including, in particular, those governing the directors (including the Managing Director) and executive managers. The Committee operates in accordance with its Charter that was reviewed and updated during the year.
Remuneration (including short and long term incentives) of the Managing Director and certain executive managers is reviewed at least annually by the Remuneration & Nomination Committee and recommendations are put to the Board for its approval. Short and long term incentives are linked to performance criteria. The Board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving bonuses and incentives. Changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria and having regard to Capral’s overall financial performance and other special circumstances.
The Remuneration & Nomination Committee may seek independent advice as appropriate in setting the structure and levels of remuneration based on the principle that the elements of remuneration should be set at an appropriate level having regard to market practice for roles of similar scope and skill. No remuneration recommendations have been made by remuneration consultants in relation to the Financial Year. Capral has reviewed generally available market information regarding remuneration, as outlined further below.
(c) Performance Planning and Review
Capral has a Performance Planning and Review ( PPR ) process to evaluate and discuss performance and development plans at least annually with salaried employees. This PPR process covers:
- An agreement of objectives for the year ahead and the setting of key performance measures against which the achievement of those objectives will be
The PPR process ensures that there is better understanding of Capral's objectives thereby increasing the likelihood of their achievement. It also enables managers to evaluate and develop employee skills and performance and identify future development needs.
(d) Non-executive Directors
The structure of Capral's non-executive director remuneration is distinct from that applicable to the Managing Director and other senior executives.
Remuneration of non-executive directors is established at a level that enables Capral to attract and retain high quality directors at a reasonable cost. Remuneration of nonexecutive directors and their terms of office are governed by Capral's constitution and not by contract.
Remuneration of non-executive directors is allocated out of the pool of funds, the limit of which is approved by shareholders in general meeting; the fee pool limit is currently $500,000 per annum, as approved at the 1999 annual general meeting. Each non-executive director is entitled to the payment of an annual fee in cash and superannuation contributions for their services. Additional fees are not paid for sitting on Board committees, however the extra responsibility of the Chairman of the Board and committees is recognised by the payment of a higher fee. The fees for the non-executive directors are regularly reviewed having regard to generally available market information and are currently considered to be similar to those paid at comparable listed companies. Non-executive directors do not receive any shares, options or other securities as part of their remuneration however they are eligible to participate in Capral's equity incentive plans, although none currently participate. There are no schemes for retirement benefits (other than statutory superannuation payments).
(e) Senior Management Remuneration
The remuneration policy for the Managing Director and executives seeks to attract and retain people with the required capabilities to lead Capral in the achievement of business objectives and focus on delivering financial and non-financial measures.
Remuneration is reviewed annually and approved changes applied from 1 March.
The Remuneration & Nomination Committee reviews the remuneration arrangements of the Managing Director, his direct reports and certain other executive managers. The Managing Director reviews the remuneration arrangements of the other members of senior management, based on the recommendations of his direct reports.
For the Managing Director and other senior management, remuneration consists of a fixed annual salary and superannuation (refer to section 1(f) below) plus at-risk components comprised of a short term incentive plan ( STIP ) (refer to section 1(g) below) and a long term incentive plan ( LTIP ) (refer to section 1(h) below). The proportions of fixed and at-risk remuneration are established for the Managing Director and other senior
DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Capral Limited
management relative to their position in Capral. As a general guide, at-risk remuneration is 50% for the Managing Director, 20-25% for executive management and 10%-20% for other senior managers, for the achievement of 'target' goals.
(f) Fixed remuneration
The level of the total employment cost (being base salary plus superannuation) ( TEC ) is determined having regard to job responsibilities, skills, experience and performance. Salaries are reviewed annually, with any changes applied from 1 March. Fixed remuneration of executives is generally targeted at market median.
The fixed remuneration of the Managing Director was determined by the Board in 2012 having regard to other ASX listed companies in building product related industries, his particular skills and previous remuneration, experience and capability to lead Capral in delivering financial targets and executing key business strategies. It represented a significant reduction to the previous Managing Director’s remuneration. It forms part of his executive employment contract and is subject to annual review. His fixed remuneration has not been increased since joining Capral.
The Board has reviewed generally available market information regarding fixed remuneration of the key management personnel for 15 ASX listed companies in either building product related industries or with comparable revenues and market capitalisation. The Board considers that the fixed remuneration of Capral’s key management personnel is generally in line with this group.
The fixed remuneration of Capral’s other key management personnel has remained unchanged since 1 March 2013.
(g) Short Term Incentives
Capral’s short term incentive schemes are designed to encourage participants to assist Capral in achieving continuous improvement by aligning their interests with those of Capral and its stakeholders and rewarding them when key performance measures are achieved.
For the Financial Year, there were 3 short term incentive programs:
(1) Short Term Incentive Plan ( STIP ): the Managing Director and senior employees have the opportunity to earn a cash incentive, based on a specified percentage of TEC dependent on each individual's level of responsibility. The actual incentive earned is based on the achievement of financial and non-financial objectives.
(2) Bonus scheme: other salaried employees can earn fixed payments, as approved by the Managing Director, for achieving key performance measures set by their managers and outlined in the employee's individual PPR. (3) Sales incentives: Sales employees participate in quarterly sales incentive programs in relation to revenue, gross margin and debtor days targets.
STIP is weighted 70% to financial objectives and 30% nonfinancial objectives. A summary of STIP is set out in the table below:
-
Frequency Awards determined annually with payment made in the March following the end of the performance year.
-
Financial - Trading EBITDA for Capral and (for Measures relevant General/ Divisional Managers) Business Units (35%). Key financial threshold measure as reflects underlying earnings after
excluding external economic factors such as global aluminium prices and foreign exchange rates
-
Net Profit Before Tax for Capral (10%). Aligned to ability to pay dividends
-
Operating Cash Flow for Capral (15%). Selected to ensure effectiveness of cash management
-
% Working Capital to Annualised Sales for Capral and (for relevant General/ Divisional Managers) Business Units (10%). Selected to ensure effectiveness of capital management.
Non-financial Measures
- Specific individual objectives are set to reflect measurable (where possible) strategic initiatives and profit improvement objectives, and also include a minimum of 5% for Safety improvement. There are usually around 5-6 key individual objectives which are set for each participant and are aligned to Capral’s strategic plans and budget; they include performance to customers, sales targets/ growth, productivity and operational improvements, key projects and cost improvements. The weightings are generally 5% however may be higher or lower depending on importance to company performance. Performance against financial measures is assessed after the end of each financial year based on Capral’s financial results. The performance against non-financial measures is assessed as part of the PPR process. The Managing Director, in consultation with senior managers, is responsible for recommending to the Board the amount of STIP, if any, to be paid.
Assessment of performance against measures
-
All payments are subject to Capral achieving its minimum annual Trading EBITDA target. Stretch payments are not made where target financial metrics are not met.
-
Discretionary The Board retains absolute discretion override regarding payments having regard to Capral’s overall financial position and other special circumstances that have arisen during the course of the year (ie acquisitions or clawback). The intent however is to minimise the exercise of discretionary adjustments to the planned outcomes set at the start of the year. Any material adjustments would be disclosed.
Service condition
-
The Managing Director is eligible to receive a pro-rata payment where his employment is terminated other than for cause. Other employees who leave Capral part way through a performance period are not eligible for a payment for that period.
-

discretion to withhold some or all of a payment before it is made. In 2015, clawback provisions were included in the plan rules specifically allowing the Board to recover some or all of payments already made in such circumstances.
-
Deferral There is no deferred cash/ equity component. The Board considers this is appropriate in the context of the relatively low amounts paid under STIP awards, Capral’s current remuneration framework and the cyclical nature of the business.
-
Plan review The STIP design is reviewed at least annually by the Remuneration & Nomination Committee, and approved by the Board. The Managing Director, in consultation with senior managers, is responsible for recommending to the Board the STIP financial targets. The non-financial objectives are approved by the Managing Director. The Managing Director’s non-financial targets are established in consultation with the Managing Director and approved by the Board.
The Managing Director and key management personnel are eligible for the following awards of STIP relative to TEC:
| Position | % of TEC | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Target | Stretch | |
| Managing Director | 25% | 50% | 100% |
| CFO/ GM Operations | 12.5% | 25% | 50% |
| Co Sec | 10% | 20% | 40% |
Where objectives can be financially measured, ‘Minimum’ is generally set around 15% below Board approved Budget, however it must exceed prior year performance. ‘Target’ is generally set around Board approved Budget and ‘Stretch’ is generally set 30% above Budget.
The Board has reviewed generally available market information regarding short term incentive schemes of the key management personnel for 15 ASX listed companies in either building product related industries or with comparable revenues and market capitalisation. The Board considers that Capral’s short term incentive scheme is generally in line with this group, with STIP relative to TEC below the group’s median.
(h) Long Term Incentives
Capral’s long term incentives ( LTIP ) are designed to strengthen the alignment of the interests of senior managers with shareholders and support a culture of share ownership and shareholder wealth. It also aims to provide competitive remuneration for the retention of specifically targeted members of senior management.
LTIP - Managing Director
Prior to his appointment as Managing Director, Mr Dragicevich was granted 2,000,000 performance rights under LTIP in 2013. He was granted a further 2,000,000 performance rights following shareholder approval in April 2014. During the Financial Year, an additional 2,500,000 performance rights were granted to Mr Dragicevich following shareholder approval in April 2015.
A summary of the Managing Director’s LTIP is set out below:
-
Frequency Awards determined annually. Type of Performance rights subject to service award requirements and vesting criteria. If the conditions are met, shares will be issued around the vesting date.

2015 award: 3 year performance period with 31 December testing dates. Vesting date of 1 March 2018.
Performance conditions
Performance rights are subject to Mr Dragicevich remaining employed by Capral at the vesting date and the achievement of the following performance conditions:
2013 award: 80% of the rights were subject to minimum financial targets relating to Trading EBITDA, Net Profit Before Tax, Operating Cash Flow and % Working Capital to Annualised Sales set annually by the Board and 20% of the rights were subject to a TSR performance condition.
2014 award: 70% of the rights were subject to a TSR performance condition and 30% of the rights were subject to a Basic Earnings Per Share ( EPS ) performance condition.
2015 award: 50% of the rights are subject to a TSR performance condition and 50% of the rights are subject to an EPS performance condition.
For the 2014 and 2015 awards, the EPS condition is calculated each year as follows: Net Profit Before Tax Target as specified by the Board for that year (adjusted for any extraordinary items approved by the Board) divided by number of securities on issue. The Net Profit Before Tax Target used for this condition is set at least at minimum Budget level. The Board may adjust EPS to exclude the effects of material business acquisitions/ divestments and certain one-off costs; any adjustments

would be disclosed.
For each award, the rights subject to the TSR condition are subject to Capral's performance as against the entities with ordinary shares and units (as the case may be) included in the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index as at 1 January in the year of grant but excluding those companies who are classified in the Global Industry Classification Standard sector number 40. The number of rights which may vest is set out in Table A below.
For the 2013 and 2014 awards, the Board considered it appropriate to employ the performance measures over a 1 year period because:
-
the minimum financial/ EPS targets reward achievement of a Board approved Budget that generally requires growth against the prior year which is directly under the Managing Director’s influence thus placing further focus on the key business drivers;
-
the outcomes may become distorted by building and commodity cycles that can vary materially over a longer term; and
-
the TSR rewards performance that meets or exceeds the market and thereby directly linked to shareholder value.
For the 2015 award, the Managing Director falls under the same LTIP as the other executives which has a 3 year performance period – see below.
The use of financial growth targets and TSR tests is consistent with market practice as it ensures alignment between comparative shareholder return and remuneration of executives. The peer group is considered as appropriate given Capral’s size and objectives. The financial growth target was implemented in the initial 2013 award and the EPS condition in the 2014 award. These measures are considered as appropriate as they each assess the success of Capral in achieving earnings growth. Having regard to generally available market information, the Board decided to vary the weighting between TSR and EPS for the 2015 award, to 50/50.

-
60% (for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 awards) or 50% (for the 2015 award) of rights are subject to an EPS performance condition; these were granted in 3 equal tranches, and will be tested on 31 December each year over a 3 year period. The EPS condition is calculated each year as follows: Net Profit Before Tax Target as specified by the Board for that year (adjusted for any extraordinary items approved by the Board) divided by number of securities on issue. The Net Profit Before Tax Target used for this condition is set at least at minimum Budget level. The Board may adjust EPS to exclude the effects of material business acquisitions/ divestments and certain one-off costs; any adjustments would be disclosed.
-
40% (for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 awards) or 50% (for the 2015 award) of rights are subject to a TSR performance condition as against the entities with ordinary shares and units (as the case may be) included in the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index as at 1 January in the year of grant but excluding those companies who are classified in the Global Industry Classification Standard sector number 40. The number of rights which may vest is set out in Table A below.
The Board considered it appropriate to set the EPS condition over a 1 year period because:
-
it rewards Management for achievement of a Board approved Budget that generally requires growth against the prior year which is directly under management’s influence, thus placing further focus on the key business drivers;
-
the outcomes may become distorted by building and commodity cycles that can vary materially over a longer term;
-
where the Net Profit Before Tax target in a given year is not achieved, Management is not rewarded.
The use of EPS and TSR tests is consistent with market practice as it ensures alignment between comparative shareholder return and remuneration of executives. TSR has been a feature of LTIP since 2006. The peer group is considered as appropriate given Capral’s size and objectives. EPS condition was implemented in the plan in 2011 and has been consistently applied for all grants. The measure is considered as appropriate as it assesses the success of Capral in achieving earnings growth. Having regard to generally available market
information, the Board decided to vary the weighting between TSR and EPS for the 2015 award, to 50/50.
Assessment of performance against measures
Performance against the EPS condition is assessed at the end of each financial year (31 December testing date). If the condition is met in a given year, the rights will convert to shares at the end of the 3 year vesting period and will be issued to participants provided that they continue to be employed by Capral at the vesting date. If the condition is not met in a given year, those rights will lapse.
Performance against the TSR condition is assessed at the end of the 3 year period (31 December testing date). There is no re-testing.
Vested rights convert on the relevant vesting date a one-for-one basis to ordinary shares. Unvested rights lapse. Treatment of If employment ceases all unvested awards on rights will immediately lapse. However, cessation of if the cessation relates to the employment redundancy or permanent disability/ death of the employee or other reason determined by the Board then the Board has absolute discretion to determine that some or all of the rights vest.
Treatment of The Board has discretion to allow awards on awards to vest on a change of control. change of In exercising this discretion, the Board is control not bound to award all shares and would generally consider applying prorata assessments for current awards.

The Managing Director makes recommendations to the Remuneration & Nomination Committee regarding the proposed LTIP award participants and the amount of the entitlements.

(i) Anti-Hedging Policy
Capral’s personnel are not permitted to enter into transactions with securities (or any derivative thereof) which limit the economic risk of any unvested entitlements awarded under any Capral equity-based remuneration scheme currently in operation or which will be offered by Capral in the future. As part of Capral's due diligence undertaken at the time of the financial results, participants in any Capral equity plan are required to confirm that they have not entered into any such prohibited transactions.
Section 2: Actual Remuneration of key management personnel
During the Financial Year there were a number of remuneration outcomes. The expensed remuneration is set out in detail in the remuneration table below however in summary the key outcomes were as follows:
(a) Remuneration
A pay freeze was put in place for the second year in a row affecting around 10% of the salaried staff, including the executives, having regard to prevailing market conditions. Total expensed remuneration for the key management personnel (including the directors) overall decreased as compared to the prior year due to this pay freeze.
(b) STIP
STIP payments are below the prior year.

Section 3: Performance rights, Options and bonuses provided as compensation
Performance rights - Managing Director
During the Financial Year and the financial year ended 31 December 2014, performance rights were granted as equity compensation benefits under the LTIP, to the Managing Director as disclosed as at balance date below. The performance rights were granted at no cost to him.
2,500,000 performance rights were granted to the Managing Director in April 2015 following shareholder approval. These rights have a vesting date of March 2018. Tranche 1 of the EPS condition was tested as at 31 December 2015. Capral did not achieve the 2015 EPS condition and consequently 416,750 of these rights lapsed in January 2016.
2,000,000 performance rights were granted to the Managing Director in April 2014 following shareholder approval. 1,000,000 of these rights had a vesting date of 1 March 2015 (Tranche 1) and 1,000,000 of these rights have a vesting date of 1 March 2016 (Tranche 2). Tranche 1 was tested as at 31 December 2014.

Capral achieved the 2014 EPS condition and consequently 30% of the rights subject to that condition (300,000 rights) vested and converted into Capral shares on a 1 for 1 basis as at 1 March 2015. Tranche 2 (the final tranche of this award) was tested as at 31 December 2015.

Capral did not achieve the 2015 EPS condition and consequently, 30% of the rights subject to that condition (300,000 rights) lapsed in January 2016.
2,000,000 performance rights were granted to the Managing Director in March 2013. Tranche 1 was tested as at 31 December 2013. 800,000 performance rights vested and converted into Capral shares on a 1 for 1 basis as at 4 March 2014.

Performance rights – other key management personnel
During the Financial Year and the financial year ended 31 December 2014, performance rights were granted as equity compensation benefits under the LTIP, to certain key management personnel as disclosed as at balance date below. The performance rights were granted at no cost to the participants.
4,500,000 performance rights were granted under the 2015 LTIP award to executives in March 2015. Tranche 1 of the EPS condition was tested as at 31 December 2015. Capral did not achieve the 2015 EPS condition and consequently 650,130 of these rights lapsed in January 2016.
In relation to the 2014 LTIP award, 20% of the rights subject to the annual EPS condition (Tranche 1) (672,587 rights) had already been tested on 31 December 2014 and the condition had been achieved. These rights will vest and convert into Capral shares on a 1 for 1 basis as at 1 March 2017, provided that the participants remain employed by Capral at that date. Tranche 2 of the EPS condition was tested as at 31 December 2015. Capral did not achieve the 2015 EPS condition and consequently 760,000 of these rights lapsed in January 2016.
In relation to the 2013 LTIP award, 20% of the rights subject to the annual EPS condition (Tranche 1) (707,457 rights) had lapsed on 31 December 2013 and 20% of the rights subject to the annual EPS condition (Tranche 2) (880,000 rights) had already been tested on 31 December 2014 and the condition had been achieved. These Tranche 2 rights will vest and convert into Capral shares on a 1 for 1 basis as at 1 March 2016. Tranche 3 of the EPS condition (20% of the rights) and the TSR condition (40% of the rights) (the final tranches of this award) were tested as at 31 December 2015. Capral’s relative TSR performance over the period from January 2013 to December 2015 was in the 36.65 percentile and consequently the rights subject to the TSR condition (1,154,046 rights) lapsed in January 2016. Capral did not achieve the 2015 EPS condition and consequently 577,021 of these rights lapsed in January 2016.
In relation to the 2012 LTIP award, 80% of the rights lapsed by January 2015. Capral achieved the 2014 EPS condition and consequently the rights subject to that condition (581,829 rights) vested and converted into Capral shares on a 1 for 1 basis as at 1 March 2015.

Options
No options were issued under the LTIP during the Financial Year and the financial year ended 31 December 2014. 20,000,000 options granted to the previous Managing Director, Mr Jobe, expired on 16 October 2014. The total number of options granted to Mr Jobe and outstanding as at the end of the Financial Year is 4,300,000 (2014: 4,300,000). These expire in April 2016.
All of the 2,231,863 outstanding options issued under the 2010 LTIP award expired on 16 October 2014.
During the Financial Year and the financial year ended 31 December 2014, STIP bonus payments were made to the Managing Director and key management personnel. The Managing Director’s STIP payments for 2014 and 2015 equated to 42% and 31% (respectively) of his TEC (below the ‘target’ level detailed in section 1 above) and the Board considers it appropriate having regard to the achievement of certain key financial measures as well as critical non-financial measures regarding customers, anti-dumping activities and other strategic plans. The other key management personnel’s STIP payments for 2014 and 2015 were less than 20% of TEC (below the ‘target’ level detailed in section 1 above).

Section 4: Relationship between remuneration and company performance
There is a link between company performance and executive reward. For the Financial Year and the previous 4 financial years, Capral has made STIP payments based upon the achievement of performance (financial and non-financial) measures.
Whilst continuing to ensure that Capral attracts and retains qualified, experienced and motivated employees in accordance with the remuneration policy by remunerating employees at a competitive level, Capral has fixed the salary levels of its executives over the last 2 years and placed more emphasis on at-risk remuneration in order to align remuneration of the employees to the performance of Capral and encourage shareholder wealth.
During the Financial Year and the previous 4 financial years (2011-2014), Capral's financial performance was as follows:
| Year Ended 31 Dec | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net Profit/(Loss) $’000 | (2,511) | 2,650 | (51,707)* | (10,766) | (7,997) |
| Dividend - cents per share | - | - | - | - | - |
| Basic earnings / (loss) - cents per share | (0.5) | 0.6 | (12.5) | (2.8) | (2.1) |
| Share price (closing) $ | 0.10 | 0.11 | 0.155 | 0.215 | 0.175 |
| Trading EBITDA $’000^ | 13,028 | 9,226 | 4,131 | 3,952 | 9,682 |
| Operating Cash Flow $’000 | 7,295 | 7,676 | 470 | 9,522 | 8,843 |
| % Working Capital to Annualised Sales | 16.24 | 17.97 | 15.13 | 13.99 | 14.2 |
* Includes $41.5 million impairment charge
In the Financial Year, Capral’s Trading EBITDA improved on 2014 and the minimum target was achieved. The % Working Capital to Annualised Sales minimum target was also achieved however the other financial targets set by the Board (Net Profit Before Tax and Operating Cash Flow) were not met. Accordingly, the 2015 STIP payments are below those paid in 2014 in line with financial performance. There is a clear link between financial performance and the level of STIP awarded.
^ Trading EBITDA (non-IFRS measure) is Statutory EBITDA adjusted for items that management assess as unrelated to the underlying performance of the business and allows for a more relevant comparison between financial periods

Capral Limited
In the Financial Year, STIP payments approved by the Board for non-financial measures were around minimum levels. The following provides examples of key non-financial measures (that are not commercially sensitive) used to assess executive performance:
| Performance Area | Measure | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | Reduction in lost time/ medically | Rate increased. Targets not met. |
| treated injury frequency rate | ||
| Hours lost from injuries | Hours lost significantly reduced. | |
| Stretch target met | ||
| AS4801 accreditation | Re-certification achieved in 2015 | |
| Customers | Customer service | At least minimum levels achieved |
| for customer service measures | ||
| (such as delivery performance and | ||
| customer returns) | ||
| Volume retention/ growth | Sales areas met some of the | |
| specific volume and margin related | ||
| targets | ||
| Production | Operational efficiency | Manufacturing plants met most of |
| their operational efficiency targets | ||
| Leadership | Leadership development programs | Manufacturing plants achieved their |
| specific leadership objectives | ||
| People | AL & LSL balance reduction | Leave balance reduction initiatives |
| were generally achieved at the | ||
| minimum level | ||
| Anti-dumping | Pursue anti-dumping campaign | Anti-circumvention and review case |
| outcomes favourable | ||
| Costs | Cost reduction initiatives | Specific cost and expense |
| reduction initiatives were achieved | ||
| at lease at the minimum level |
LTIP is linked to Capral’s performance as the value of the performance rights awarded depends on Capral’s share price, and whether the awards vest relate to earnings growth and Capral’s relative TSR performance against market peer group. There is a link between Capral’s performance and the vesting of rights under LTIP awards. In this regard:
-
In 2014:
-
Capral’s relative TSR performance over the period from January 2012 to December 2014 and for the 2013 and 2014 financial years achieved the 41[st] , 33[rd] and 33[rd] percentiles respectively and fell below the 50[th] percentile. Consequently, the rights subject to the TSR condition that were awarded in 2012 to executives and to the Managing Director under Tranche 2 of the 2013 award and Tranche 1 of the 2014 award, have lapsed.
-
Given earnings growth in 2014, the EPS result for 2014 was 0.6 cents per share and therefore the EPS condition for Tranche 3 of the 2012 award, Tranche 2 of the 2013 award, Tranche 1 of the 2014 award and Tranche 1 of the Managing Director’s 2014 award, were met. Consequently, the rights subject to Tranche 3 of the 2012 award and Tranche 1 of the CEO’s 2014 award vested and converted into Capral shares during the Financial Year. The rights subject to Tranche 2 of the 2013 award and Tranche 1 of the 2014 award that met the EPS condition remain subject to the time vesting condition for the particular award.
-
Capral achieved its minimum financial goals in 2014 and consequently the Managing Director’s rights that were subject to this condition vested and converted into Capral shares during the Financial Year.
-
In 2015:
-
Capral’s relative TSR performance over the period from January 2013 to December 2015 and for the 2015 financial year achieved the 36.65 and 47 percentiles respectively, being below the 50[th] percentile. Consequently, the rights subject to the TSR condition that were awarded in 2013 to executives and to the Managing Director under Tranche 2 of his 2014 award have lapsed.
-
Given the net loss in 2015, the EPS condition for Tranche 3 of the 2013 award, Tranche 2 of the 2014 award, Tranche 1 of the 2015 award and Tranche 2 of the Managing Director’s 2014 award were not met. Consequently, these rights have lapsed.

Environmental regulations
Manufacturing licences and consents required by laws and regulations are held by the consolidated entity at each relevant site as advised by consulting with relevant environmental authorities. All applications for and renewals of licences have been granted and all consents have been given by all relevant authorities.
Directors' and officers' indemnities and insurance
Under Capral's constitution, Capral is required to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each director and secretary of Capral against any liability incurred by that person as an officer of Capral. The directors listed on page 4 and the secretary listed on page 5 have the benefit of this indemnity. During the Financial Year, Capral paid a premium for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies which cover current and former directors, company secretaries and officers of the consolidated entity. Details of the nature of the liabilities covered and the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors' and officers' insurance policies are not disclosed, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contracts.
Indemnities to auditors
In respect of non-audit services provided in relation to reviews of consulting and compliance advice during the Financial Year, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Capral's auditor, has the benefit of an indemnity (including in respect of legal costs) for any third party claim in connection with the use, distribution or reliance on their work (except to the extent caused by the wilful misconduct or fraud of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, or where it has agreed that the third party may rely on the work or it may be used in a public document).
Proceedings on behalf of Capral
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of Capral, or to intervene in any proceedings to which Capral is party, for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of Capral for all or part of those proceedings. No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of Capral with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act.
The Board has considered this position and in accordance with the advice received from the Audit Committee, it is satisfied that the provision of these services during the Financial Year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the general standard of auditor independence imposed by the Corporations Act for the following reasons:
-
(1) the non-audit services provided do not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work and have not involved partners or staff acting in a management or decision-making capacity for Capral or in the processing or originating of transactions;
-
(2) all non-audit services and the related fees have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to ensure complete transparency and that they do not affect the integrity and objectivity of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu; and
-
(3) the declaration required by section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 confirming independence has been received from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.
Details of the amounts paid or payable to Capral's auditor (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu) for audit and non-audit services provided during the Financial Year are set out in Note 32 of the financial statements.
Auditor's independence declaration
The auditors' independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act is set out on page 23.
Rounding of amounts

Signed in accordance with a resolution of directors made pursuant to section 298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.
On behalf of the directors

Capral Limited
1c. Significant accounting policies
Statement of Compliance
The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and complies with other requirements of the law.
The financial report includes the financial statements of the Company and the financial statements of the Group. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('AIFRS'). Compliance with A-IFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 19 February 2016.
Basis of Preparation
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the "rounding off" of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the financial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar as indicated.
The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the financial report:
(a) Basis of Consolidation
The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Company (and its subsidiaries) (referred to as 'the Group' in these financial statements).
Control is based on whether an investor has:
- power over the investee
(b) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(c) Business Combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.
The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under AASB 3(2008) are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
• deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively;
• liabilities or equity instruments related to the replacement by the Group of an acquiree’s share based payment awards are measured in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment; and
• assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
-
exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
-
the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the returns.
The results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capral Limited
1c. Significant accounting policies (cont'd)
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value and have a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.
(e) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts.
Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in Note 30 to the financial statements. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date.
The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. The fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the hedge relationship is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or current liability if the remaining maturity of the hedge relationship is less than 12 months. The Group's derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting, and are not designated into an effective hedge relationship and are classified as a current asset and current liability.
Embedded Derivatives
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the financial instrument, and the financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Employee Benefits
(i) Salaries, wages and leave benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave, when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably. Liabilities recognised in respect of short term employee are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognised in respect of long term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.
(ii) Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments with employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date.
The fair value of the performance rights is estimated at grant date using a Monte-Carlo Simulation analysis taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the securities are granted.
The fair value of the options is estimated at grant date using a binomial tree model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the securities are granted.
The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management's best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions, and behavioural considerations.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group's estimate of shares that will eventually vest.
Further details on how the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions have been determined can be found in Note 36.
(iii) Defined contribution plan
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.
(g) Financial Assets
Investments are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through the profit or loss which are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the Company's financial statements. Other financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: Financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss', 'held-to-maturity investments', 'available-forsale' financial assets, and 'loans and receivables'. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis for debt instruments other than financial assets 'at fair value through profit or loss'.

Capral Limited
1c. Significant accounting policies (cont'd)
(g) Financial Assets (cont'd)
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss where the financial asset:
(i) has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;
(ii) is a part of an identified portfolio of financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit taking; or
(iii) is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.
transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for the amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
(h) Financial Instruments Issued by the Group
Debt and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in the profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.
Compound instruments
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as 'loans and receivables'. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.
The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument.
This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or upon the instruments reaching maturity. The equity component initially brought to account is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects and is not subsequently remeasured.
Financial guarantee contract liabilities
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither
Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and subsequently at the higher of the amount recognised as a provision and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 30.

Capral Limited
1c. Significant accounting policies (cont'd)
(h) Financial Instruments Issued by the Group (cont’d)
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. Refer note 1c (g).
(i) Foreign Currency
In preparing the financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the balance date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets where they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on foreign currency borrowings.
(j) Goodwill
Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as an asset at the date that control is acquired (the acquisition date). Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain. Goodwill is not amortised but is reviewed for impairment at least annually.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
(k) Government Grants
Government grants are assistance by the Government in the form of transfers of resources to the Group in return for past or future compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the entity.
Government grants include Government assistance where there are no conditions specifically relating to the operating activities of the Group other than the requirement to operate in certain regions or industry sectors.
Government grants are not recognised until there is a reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire long-term assets are either recognised as deferred income in the statement of financial position and recognised as income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets or are applied directly to the long term assets as a reduction in the cost of the assets. Other Government grants are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate on a systematic basis.
(l) Impairment of Other Tangible and Intangible Assets excluding goodwill
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit ( CGU ) to which that asset belongs.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

with any changes being recognised as a change in accounting estimate.
Software
(l) Impairment of Other Tangible and Intangible Assets excluding goodwill (cont’d)
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (CGU) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(m) Income Tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses.
Software assets including system development costs have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the assets estimated useful lives, which vary from 3 to 5 years.
(o) Inventories
Inventories representing aluminium log, other supplies and finished goods are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Aluminium log is valued at moving average of direct purchase cost. Cost of rolled product has been determined principally on moving average of direct purchase costs. Costs for finished and partly finished includes moving average metal cost, direct labour, and appropriate proportion of fixed and variable factory overhead.
(p) Leased Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.
The current and deferred tax amounts for the taxconsolidated group are allocated to the members of the tax-consolidated group (including the Company as the head entity) using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach, with deferred taxes being allocated by reference to the carrying amounts in the financial statements of each member entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax credits arising from this allocation process are then accounted for as immediately assumed by the head entity, as under Australian taxation law the head entity has the legal obligation (or right) to these amounts.
(n) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be measured reliably.
The Group as lessee:
Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease team, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefits of incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Patents, trademarks and licences
Patents, trademarks and licences are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, which vary from 5 to 16 years.
The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period,

(q) Property, Plant and Equipment
Land and buildings are measured at fair value less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined on the basis of a periodic, independent valuation by external valuation experts, based on discounted cash flows or capitalisation of net income, as appropriate.
Periodic reviews are conducted every three to five years. The fair values are recognised in the financial statements of the Group, and are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that the carrying value of land and buildings is not materially different from their fair values. Any revaluation increase arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to the asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that the increase reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised as an expense in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to the profit and loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of land and buildings is charged as an expense in profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset.
Depreciation on revalued buildings is charged to profit or loss. On the subsequent sale or retirement of revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve, net of any related taxes, is transferred directly to retained earnings.
Plant and equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.
In the event that settlement of all or part of the purchase consideration is deferred, cost is determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment, including freehold buildings but excluding land. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is shorter, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.
(r) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cashflows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cashflows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Onerous contracts
Present obligations arising under onerous contracts are recognised and measured as a provision. An onerous contract is considered to exist where the Group has a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
Restructurings
A restructuring provision is recognised when the Group has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it.
The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.
Provision for restoration and rehabilitation (provision for made good on leased assets)
A provision for restoration and rehabilitation (provision for make good on leased assets) is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of production activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of removing the facilities and restoring the affecting areas.
(s) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Sales revenue comprises sales of goods and services at net invoice values less returns, trade allowances and applicable rebates.
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
(ii) the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree normally associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the

(v) the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Royalties
Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.
Royalties determined on a time basis are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the agreement. Royalty arrangements that are based on production, sales and other measures are recognised by reference to the underlying agreement.
Rental income
The Group's policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in note 1c (p).
Interest revenue
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.
(t) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax ( GST ) except:
(i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
(ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, is classified as operating cash flows.
(u) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

1d. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, which are described in note 1, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Employee benefits
Key assumptions used in the calculation of leave benefit provisions at balance date:
-
(i) future on-cost rates,
-
(ii) experience of employee departures and period of service, and
-
(iii) future increase in wages and salaries.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. During the financial year, the directors determined that there were no revisions to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment.
1e. Comparative information
Where necessary, comparative amounts have been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current period disclosures.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Impairment of non-current assets
Determining whether non-current assets are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the single cash-generating unit to which non-current assets has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.
Details of the impairment calculation is provided in Note 14.
Critical judgements in applying the Company's accounting policies
The following are the critical judgements (apart from those involving estimations which are dealt with above), that management has made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Inventories
Note 9 sets out the categories of inventory carried. The net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell which approximates fair value less cost to sell. The key assumptions require the use of management judgement and are reviewed annually.
These key assumptions are the variables affecting the estimated costs to sell and the expected selling price. Any reassessment of cost to sell or selling price in a particular year will affect the cost of goods sold.

The average credit period on sales of goods is approximately 54 days (2014: 57 days). No interest is charged on trade receivables.
During both the Financial Year and 2014 the provision has been based on a percentage of the total debt for customers who are subject to formal payment plans or legal action and 1.75% of the 90 day and over balances. The provision for doubtful debts is reviewed each month and necessary adjustments made to the provision. The provision is based on estimated irrecoverable amounts from the sale of goods, determined by reference to past experience and knowledge of customers. Allowances are made for known doubtful debts at the time of appointment of administrators, liquidators or other formal insolvency events.

Included in the Group's trade receivables are debtors with balances in 61 days and over of $0.761 million (2014: $1.775 million), refer note 30(h). No further amount has been provided for as the Group believes that this past due balance is still considered recoverable. In relation to some of the balances the Group holds personal property securities registrations and/or personal guarantees and/or trade indemnity insurance for 90% of the amount outstanding (after applying the deductible). The average age of these receivables is 72 days (2014: 73 days). Aging past due but not impaired was calculated based on agreed customers individual terms.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The Group and Company do not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.
Major concentrations of credit risk are in the construction, transport, consumer durable and electrical industries in Australia. Furthermore, the Company has credit insurance cover which requires ongoing management of credit accounts with monthly reports provided to the Insurer. Accordingly, there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

Impairment of non-current assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit ( CGU ) to which that asset belongs. Management views the Group as representing one CGU.
If there is an indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets will be determined by reference to a value in use discounted cash flow valuation of the Group, utilising financial forecasts and projections.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. Cash flows that may result from prior period tax losses are not taken into account. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
The result of Impairment assessment as at 31 December 2015
As a result of the non-current assets recoverable amount assessment performed, Capral has determined that no impairment write-down or write-back of non-current assets as at 31 December 2015 was necessary (2014: $Nil).
The key assumptions used in preparing the value in use cash flow valuation as at 31 December 2015 are as follows:
The table below shows key assumptions in the value in use calculation as at 31 December 2015 and value of the input to which the key assumption must change in isolation for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to its carrying value.
| Input to the model | Breakeven input | |
|---|---|---|
| WACC (Post-tax) | 11.66% | 11.85% |
| Average volumes increase 2017-20p.a. | 1.00% | 0.93% |
| Terminalgrowth rate | 2.04% | 1.43% |
| Salespricegrowth | 80% of CPI | 78.4% of CPI |
The valuation is based on forecast and projected cash flows for a 5 year period commencing January 2016 with a terminal value being applied at the end of this period. The cash flow assumptions are based on management approved forecast for the period from January 2016 to December 2016. Beyond this date cash flow projections until 31 December 2020 are based on projected volume growth and expected improvements in EBITDA per tonne (refer below). Sales volumes are projected to grow at 1% per annum from 2017-20 (2014: 2.04% per annum) based on Capral’s average historic volume growth rate from 2011-2015. After 2020 sales revenue is expected to grow at 2.04% (2014: 2.04%) per annum, and this growth rate corresponds with the average longterm growth rate based on external economic sources.
A discount rate of 11.66% (2014: 11.73%), representing the Company's post-tax weighted average cost of capital has been applied to the cash flow projections. The pre-tax discount rate equivalent to the post-tax discount rate used for the value in use calculation is 15.95% (2014: 16.48%).
Volumes
In determining assumptions in relation to sales volumes into the commercial and residential/domestic market, Capral have based these on reputable third party long term economic forecast reports with reference to historical performance and seasonal trends. Using these long term growth rates, projections estimate the sales volumes at around 63,000 tonnes at the end of the 5 year period.
Margins
In setting price and margin assumptions, historical performance trends and the impact of previous price increases were reviewed in assessing the timing and quantum of future price increases.
Recent history in relation to direct costs and the impact of higher volumes on manufacturing variances were assessed in setting assumptions on absorbed conversion costs.
In forecasting the margin, Management has considered the production capacity of Capral compared to current volumes and concluded that increase in production volumes to satisfy demand expected by independent market predictions can be attained by predominately increasing variable cost with very limited additional fixed cost expenditure. This is reflected in the resultant average EBITDA per tonne increase of 2.17% per annum from 2017 to 2020.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditure
These assumptions were set in light of strategic initiatives and approved capital expenditure, with working capital flexed in relation to the assumed production capacity for volumes throughout the forecast period and historical performance and considering revisions to trading terms with key suppliers and customers.
Economic Factors
Assumptions including Gross Domestic Production ( GDP ), the Consumer Price Index ( CPI ), expected wage and salary increases, foreign exchange and the future impact of aluminium prices have been made with reference to third party economic forecasts and the Company's strategic plans and budgets.
Prior Period Tax Losses
Cash flows that may result from prior period tax losses are not taken into account in determining the recoverable amount of assets.
Impact of possible changes to key assumptions
Management performed a number of sensitivity analysis on key assumptions to determine the impact the change of a single assumption input would have on the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets. The sensitivities below have been chosen as Management consider that in isolation they are reasonably possible given the nature of the Capral business and the market in which it operates. In each scenario, all other assumptions remained unchanged, and excludes any compensating adjustments that Management may be able to make to other inputs to counteract the impact.
| Sensitivity | Input to the model |
Impact Reversalofpreviousimpairment / (Impairment) |
|---|---|---|
| WACC (Post-tax) | 12.5% | ($5,319,000) |
| WACC (Post-tax) | 11.5% | $3,161,000 |
| Average volumes increase 2017-20p.a. | 2.04% | $29,227,000 |
| Average volumes increase 2017-20p.a. | 0% | ($24,021,000) |
| Terminalgrowth rate | 1% | ($1,089,000) |
| Salespricegrowth | 100% of CPI | $23,039,000 |
| Salespricegrowth | 60% of CPI | ($19,345,000) |
| EBITDAper Tonne | 2015 Level | ($18,197,000) |
In a combined scenario sensitivity analysis, if price increases achieved were 60% of CPI, volume increases by 0% over the 2017-20 period and the terminal growth rate was 1% then this would result in an impairment of $43,204,000.
In the event that the value-in-use model indicates an impairment the impairment may be reduced where tangible asset values on a fair value less cost to sell basis exceed the value in use.

(a) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged from 2014.
The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, as disclosed in Note 25, cash and cash equivalents, and equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and accumulated losses, as disclosed in Notes 7, 21 and 22 respectively. The Directors review the capital structure on a regular basis, and at least annually. As a part of this review the Directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on the determinations of the Directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.
The Group prepares monthly management accounts, comprising Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Statement and Cash Flow Statement updates for the current financial year and the current year forecast. The forecast is used to monitor the Group's capital structure and future capital requirements, taking into account future capital requirements and market conditions.
The Group complied with its borrowing financial covenants under its current facility detailed in Note 25 as at 31 December 2015 as follows:
| Covenants 2015 | Actual | Limit/Covenant | Headroom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net Tangible Worth ($'000) | 107,925 | Greater than 45,000 | 62,925 |

(d) Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s treasury function monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. These risks are analysed below.
(e) Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (refer note 30(f)) and interest rates (refer note 30(g)). From time to time, the Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk arising on the purchase of aluminium log and rolled product from overseas in US dollars.
At a Group and Company level, market risk exposures are measured using a sensitivity analysis. There has been no material change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk during the Financial Year.
(f) Foreign currency risk management
The Group undertakes certain transactions in foreign currencies, resulting in exposures to exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts. It is the policy of the Group to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts from time to time to manage any material risk associated with anticipated foreign currency sales and purchase transactions.
The carrying amount of the Group’s and Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date is as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity
The Group is exposed to Euros, JPY and USD (2014: Euros, GBP and USD).
In order to mitigate foreign currency risk at reporting date, the Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts. The Group's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations was primarily limited to trade payables and trade receivables outstanding at reporting date denominated in currencies other than Australian dollar ( AUD ). The total value of trade payables denominated in currencies other than the AUD at reporting date was $13,887,000 (2014: $21,202,000). The total value of trade receivables denominated in currencies other than the AUD at reporting date was $1,315,000 (2014: $1,665,000).
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the AUD against the relevant foreign currency. 10% represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only foreign currency denominated monetary items outstanding at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number indicates an increase in profit.

(g) Interest rate risk management
The Group interest rate risk arises from borrowings, cash and derivatives.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as the Group borrows funds at floating interest rates. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring optimal hedging strategies are applied, by either positioning the balance sheet or protecting interest expense through different interest rate cycles. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk at the reporting date was considered insignificant and as a result the Group did not enter into interest rate options.
The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed below.

Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below shows the effect on profit or loss after tax for the Financial Year if there is a change in interest rates with all other variables held constant. This is determined by applying the change in interest rates to both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the reporting date that have an exposure to interest rate changes. A 50 basis point (0.5%) increase and a 50 basis point (0.5%) decrease represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates (2014: 50bp or 0.5% increase and 50bp or 0.5% decrease). A positive number indicates an increase in profit.

(h) Credit risk management
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 exposures to credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, receivables and derivative financial assets. The credit risk on financial assets of the Group which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, other than investments in shares, is generally the carrying amount, net of any allowances for doubtful debts.
The Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty. Major concentrations of credit risk are in the construction, transport, consumer durable and electrical industries in Australia. The Company has credit insurance cover which requires ongoing management of credit accounts with monthly reports provided to the Insurer. Experienced credit management and associated internal policies ensure constant monitoring of the credit risk for the Company.
There is no concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables as the Group has a large number of customers.
The ageing of trade receivables is detailed below:

(i) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who ensure there is an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and longterm funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, complying with covenants, monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in Note 25 is a list of additional undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.
Liquidity and interest risk tables
Financial assets are made up of cash of $20,143,000 (2014: $16,502,000) and trade and other receivables of $60,617,000 (2014: $58,394,000). Cash is liquid and trade and other receivables are expected to be realised on average within 54 days (2014: 57 days). Cash balances earn 0.9% interest per annum (2014: 1.4%). Trade and other receivables are interest-free.
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. The contractual maturity is a fair representation of management's expectations of actual repayments.

(j) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets, financial liabilities and derivative instruments are determined as follows:
-
(i) the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on the discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable market data; and
-
(ii) the fair value of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, the discounted cash flow analysis is employed using observable market data for non-option derivatives. For option derivatives, option pricing models are used with key inputs sourced from observable market data.
The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair values.
31 Contingent liabilities
Claims and possible claims, indeterminable in amount, have arisen in the ordinary course of business against entities in the consolidated entity. The Company has fully provided for all known and determinable claims. Based on legal advice obtained, the Directors believe that any resulting liability will not materially affect the financial position of the consolidated entity.
The Company's bankers have granted guarantees in respect of rental obligations on lease commitments, use of utilities infrastructure, international trade facilities and corporate credit cards. At 31 December 2015 these guarantees totalled $18,857,683 (2014: $16,327,934).
