B. Commentary on the results
AIX today announced its results for the financial year to 30 June 2012. The AIX portfolio of unlisted securities increased in value during the year to $1,816.2 million, an increase of 3.4 percent on the prior year, predominantly relating to increases in the value of assets in the portfolio (largely comprising unrealised gains) and realised gains generated from sale of AIX’s non-core assets. Net tangible assets (NTA) per security increased by 5.4 percent in FY2012, from $2.85 to $3.01, reflecting the increased value of portfolio assets and cash on hand.
Revenue from ordinary activities decreased 9.2 percent on the prior year from $238.5 million to $216.5 million, largely driven by a reduction in unrealised gains in the independent valuation of assets in the portfolio compared to the prior year, that is unrealised gains in the value of unlisted securities. Net gains in the value of unlisted securities for the year to 30 June 2012 were $139.6 million, compared to $168.0 million in the prior year. The value of the assets in the portfolio is determined by discounting the projected future cashflows of the assets, with assumptions made about the future operations and development of each asset.
Revenue from ordinary activities excluding gains/losses was $76.7 million for the period, a 9.0 percent increase on the $70.4 million achieved in the previous year. Sources of revenue excluding gains and losses are set out below:

Net profit after tax was $196.0 million, down 7.7 percent from $212.3 million in the prior year. This was primarily due to the decrease in unrealised gains noted above.

Australian Infrastructure Fund Appendix 4E Report for the year ended 30 June 2012
The assets comprising the AIX portfolio contributed $86.3 million in cash flows to the fund during the year compared to $80.8 million in the prior year, an increase of 6.8 percent on the prior year. The cash was received in the form of distributions, dividends, interest on shareholder loans and capital returns as follows:
| Asset | FY12 | FY11 |
|---|---|---|
| ($m) | ($m) |
|
| Perth Airport | 22.21 | 22.0 |
| APAC | 17.6 | 16.7 |
| QAL | 17.8 | 13.93 |
| NT Airports | 7.4 | 8.14 |
| HTAC | 17.82 | 14.4 |
| Port of Portland | 1.3 | 3.5 |
| Port of Geelong | 1.4 | 0.5 |
| Other | 0.9 | 1.7 |
| Cashflow from assets5 | 86.3 | 80.8 |
(1) Includes $2.5m received from Perth in the form of a repayment of shareholder loans.
(2) Includes $10.3m received from HTAC in the form of a repayment of shareholder loans.
(3) Excludes dividend of $11.3m received from QAL in FY11 relating to FY10.
(4) Includes $5.1m received from NT Airports in the form of capital return.
(5) Totals manually calculated may differ from those shown due to rounding.
The increase in cash received on the prior year was largely due to increased cash received from Queensland Airports Limited (QAL) and HTAC.
The increase in cashflow received from QAL was partly due to interest cost savings resulting from improved debt margins and favourable swap pricing, a litigation settlement and tax refund received.
HTAC increased its distribution as a result of a higher distribution received from Athens when compared to the prior year. This higher distribution was due to cash retained in prior years being released to Shareholders.
Operating expenses paid increased from $15.1 million to $17.2 million, an increase of 14.0% over the prior year. This increase predominantly related to an increase in management fees from $11.9 million to $12.6 million, which are calculated by reference to the AIX market capitalisation, as well as $1.7 million in one-off costs incurred as part of AIX’s ongoing strategic review. Finance costs also increased significantly from $0.8 million to $2.1 million due to upfront costs incurred in FY12 on renegotiating the fund level standby credit facility, increasing its limit from $30m to $100m.
On 18 June 2012, AIX announced that it had increased its estimated distribution for the 6 months ending 30 June 2012 to 5.5 cents per stapled security ($34.1 million). This represented a 10 percent increase on the distribution paid for the prior six months to 31 December 2011, of 5.0 cents per security, with total distributions for the year ended 30 June 2012 being 10.5 cents per stapled security ($65.2 million). AIX will continue its strategy of paying sustainable distributions funded from operating cash flows, whilst retaining the flexibility to pursue expansionary capital investment opportunities.
AIX outperformed its listed market benchmark again in the 2012 financial year. In the year to 30 June 2012, the AIX security price increased 25.0 percent, from $1.92 to $2.40. The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials Index decreased 2.3 percent over the same period. The AIX security price closed yesterday at $2.65, an increase of 38.9 percent since 30 June 2011.

Other highlights
-
Pursuant to the previously announced strategy of the fund, AIX successfully completed the divestment of Metro Transport Sydney, Port of Geelong and Port of Portland during the 2012 financial year. Taken together, AIX received total consideration of $100.8m from the divestment of these non-core assets, which compared to the total value of $100.4m that was independently attributed to these assets at 31 December 2011. Following the divestment of these non-core assets, airports represent 99.9 percent of the total AIX portfolio by value, making it truly an airport focused fund.
-
The portfolio achieved moderate passenger growth for the 2012 financial year. With the exception of Perth Airport, passenger growth at the Australian airports, which now represent 91.2 percent of the total portfolio by value, was subdued in the first half of the 2012 financial year, partially due to the suspension of Tiger and the brief grounding of Qantas, as well as the residual effects of the various one-off shocks that occurred domestically and internationally in the 2011 financial year. However, a return to growth was evident in the second half, with the relatively strong Australian economy stimulating growth particularly at Perth and Melbourne Airports and the high Australian dollar stimulating international passenger numbers particularly at Perth, Melbourne and Darwin Airports. Overall, despite the challenging first half passenger numbers weighted by AIX’s interest grew by 1.9 percent for the year ended 30 June 2012.
-
Dusseldorf and Hamburg airports performed well, with consolidated passenger growth of 3.6 percent for the 2012 financial year. While Athens Airport underperformed as a result of the continued economic uncertainty in Greece, this was offset by the German airport growth, resulting in consolidated passenger numbers through AIX’s European airports remaining consistent with the pcp.
-
Perth, QAL and NT airports successfully re-financed and increased their debt facilities during the financial year:
-
In November 2011 Perth airport secured $915 million of revolving facilities spread across four, six and seven year terms, along with a $300 million bank facility to backstop a future capital markets issue. An additional $15 million working capital facility was also put in place at this time. In July 2012, Perth Airport successfully issued $US 270 million and $AUD 30 million of senior secured notes in a Private Placement issue to US investors. As a consequence the $300 million ‘back stop’ debt facility negotiated in November 2011 is no longer required. The new facilities provide Perth Airport with improved diversification in its debt capital structure and substantial flexibility going forward and were achieved on attractive terms and pricing. The funds raised will be used as part of Perth Airport’s $750 million airport expansion plans.
-
QAL refinanced its existing $468 million of debt and secured an additional $64 million to fund further expansion and upgrade works at its three airports in Gold Coast, Townsville and Mount Isa. The funding is spread across three and five year terms.
-
NT Airports refinanced its existing $225 million debt facilities and obtained new capital expenditure facilities of $125 million on competitive terms. The facilities will assist to fund NT Airports’ planned aeronautical capital expenditure requirements, which are underpinned by long term pricing arrangements, and provides flexibility to invest in accretive car parking and retail opportunities as they arise.
-
In August 2011, AIX successfully completed the refinancing of its fund level debt facility for a two year term. The revised terms of the facility include an increase in its size from $30 million to $100 million, greater flexibility in the purposes to which the facility can be applied, and a reduction in fees and margins consistent with current market levels. The facility remains undrawn.
-
During the year, AIX made equity contributions of $25.0 million and $2.5 million to Perth Airport and QAL respectively to support organic growth at these assets.
-
On 23 August 2011, Westralia Airports Corporation (“WAC”), the owner and operator of Perth Airport, announced that it had entered into a comprehensive seven year Pricing and Services Agreement (“PSA”) with the Qantas Group effective from 1 July 2011. Subsequently on 27 July 2012, Perth Airport announced that it had concluded comprehensive PSAs with airlines representing 97 percent of passenger movements. These agreements apply until 30 June 2018 and provide the commercial, infrastructure access and service level certainty needed to support the continued success of both Perth
5
Australian Infrastructure Fund Appendix 4E Report for the year ended 30 June 2012
Airport and airlines. The agreements also signify airline support for Perth Airport’s major investments in expanded infrastructure.
- On 2 May 2012, AIX announced that the boards of Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited (AIFL) and Hastings Funds Management Limited (HFML), in its capacity as responsible entity of the Australian Infrastructure Fund, had reached a non-binding agreement in principle on key terms to internalise the management of AIX. Subsequently, on 24 August 2012, AIX announced that it has executed an MOU with the Future Fund. This is intended, subject to conditions precedent, to lead to the sale of all the assets of AIX.
Outlook
The AIX portfolio is now an airport fund, principally Australian airports, and is well positioned for organic growth, with the diversified nature of the underlying airport portfolio being a particular strength in the continuing uncertain global economic environment. While passenger growth was subdued in the first half, a return to growth was evident in the second half of the financial year. While domestic growth is likely to remain relatively subdued in the short term, except at Perth Airport, which continues to benefit from the strong resource sector, planned airline capacity increases at AIX’s core airports will facilitate domestic demand. International passenger growth was particularly strong at Perth, Melbourne and Darwin Airports again for the 2012 financial year, supported by the strong Australian dollar, the continued penetration by low cost carriers and airline competition in international markets. Depending on the external environment, we would expect this growth to continue, though more subdued than that experienced in the 2011 and 2012 financial years. In the medium to long term, we expect continued growth in the value of the AIX airport portfolio, as has historically been the case, with further opportunity to invest in value-adding projects.
In Europe, economic conditions remain difficult, with austerity measures still in place in many European countries. AIX’s outlook on Athens remains unchanged and we expect passenger traffic through Athens Airport to remain subdued in the year ahead. AIX’s German airports performed well in the twelve months to 30 June 2012, particularly after the strong growth recorded in the 2011 financial year. Despite the weakening in passenger numbers through Athens, this was compensated for by the growth at Dusseldorf and Hamburg, with positive consolidated passenger growth across all European airports for the 2012 financial year
AIX will continue to encourage its asset managers to focus on deriving the maximum value from the organic growth opportunities that exist within the portfolio. Over the year ahead, AIX will continue to work towards improving the value of its security price against the independently assessed net asset value of the Fund and work diligently to highlight the underlying value of this unique portfolio of quality assets.

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308 (3C) of the Corporations Act 2001.
Board and Remuneration Committee Responsibility
The responsibility for the Company’s remuneration policy rests with the Board. The Remuneration Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities in relation to remuneration. The Remuneration Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on the Company’s remuneration policy. The Remuneration Committee is comprised of AIFL’s non-executive directors, a majority of whom are independent.
Non-executive directors’ remuneration
Remuneration Policy
The Board of directors of the Company with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors of the Company.
The fees paid to directors are set at levels that reflect both the responsibilities of, and the time commitments required from, the directors to discharge their duties. In order to maintain their independence and impartiality, the remuneration of the non-executive directors is not linked to the performance of either the Company or the Trust.
In setting fee levels, the Board, takes into account:
-
independent professional advice;
-
fees paid by comparable companies;
-
the general time commitment required from directors and the risks associated with discharging the duties attaching to the role of director; and
-
the level of remuneration necessary to attract and retain directors of a suitable calibre.
The Remuneration Committee and the Board will continue to review its approach to non-executive director remuneration to ensure it remains in line with general industry practice and best practice principles of corporate governance.
Remuneration structure
Directors’ fees expensed for the year ended 30 June 2012 totalled $936,855 (2011: $826,983).
Non-executive directors’ fees, including committee fees, are set by the Board within the maximum aggregate amount of $1,200,000 per annum approved by securityholders in 2010. Committee fees also include ad hoc committees such as Due Diligence committees which may be required from time to time. The remuneration of directors was last revised on 1 March 2011.
The Board elected in April 2003 to phase out the retirement benefit and directors who joined the Board after that date are not entitled to a retirement benefit. The retirement benefit, where applicable, is determined by a consulting actuary. The appointment of the Chairman of the Board predates the retirement benefit phase out. No other directors are entitled to a retirement benefit.
The Chairman of the Board is entitled to a fee of $275,000 per annum.
Directors are entitled to a fee of $110,000 per annum.
The Chairman of the Audit Committee is entitled to a fee of $23,000 per annum. The ordinary members of the Audit Committee were entitled to a fee of $11,500 per annum. The Chairman of the Board declined his fee for membership of the Audit Committee.
In addition, superannuation contributions are paid on behalf of the non-executive directors in accordance with the Company’s statutory superannuation obligations.

Relationship with the Manager - Hastings Funds Management Limited
As the Company has contracted Hastings to manage its administration and investments, the Company employs no staff.
Hastings is paid a fee to provide a range of services and as part of that arrangement Hastings is required to provide appropriately qualified employees and resources to undertake those services, including the AIX Chief Executive Officer, the Hastings Chief Executive Officer and the AIFL Company Secretaries. These individuals were remunerated by Hastings or its related entities out of its management fee.

Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited Directors’ Report 30 June 2012 (continued)
Directors’ Report (continued)
Fees paid to the Manager
Base Management Fees
Hastings as Responsible Entity of AIFT and manager of the Company is entitled to a management fee. The management fee is calculated at the rate of 1% per annum of AIX’s market capitalisation, based on the volume weighted average traded price over the 20 business days prior to the calculation date multiplied by the stapled securities outstanding.
For the year ended 30 June 2012, Hastings earned management fees of $12,822,000 (2011: $12,000,000).
Performance Fees
Hastings as Responsible Entity of AIFT and manager of the Company is entitled to a performance fee at the conclusion of each year ended 30 June where there is a positive performance position relative to benchmark for the year ended 30 June after taking into account any previous shortfall.
Specifically, under the AIFL Management Agreement and the AIFT Consolidated Constitution, at the end of each year Hastings is entitled to a performance fee equal to 10% of the out-performance of AIX’s total return (growth in security price plus reinvested distributions) against the ASX 200 Industrials Accumulation Index return (Benchmark Return), after taking into account any carried forward performance deficit (previous shortfall). If the calculation of the AIX total return for a year is less than the benchmark return for that year, the shortfall is carried forward and taken into account in calculating whether the AIX total return exceeds the benchmark return in subsequent years. The AIFL Management Agreement and the AIFT Consolidated Constitution provides that any performance fee is payable within three months from 30 June.
The AIFL Management Agreement (section 5) and the AIFT Consolidated Constitution (sections 48 and 71) are silent as to the precise form in which the performance fees are to be settled. However the AIFT Consolidated Constitution (section 71) does provide AIFL the discretion to determine the form of settlement. At the 2010 AIX Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 17 November 2010 securityholders approved the resolution that if performance fees are payable to Hastings then the AIFL Board would be entitled to require Hastings to be paid some or all of the performance fee in either cash or AIX securities. This approval is in place for a period of three years from the date of the AGM, that is, until 17 November 2013.
In accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments , the fair value of the performance fee obligation was assessed at the beginning of the financial year (1 July 2011). The fair value of the performance fee obligation that was assessed and recognised as an expense in the Income Statement was $Nil (2011: $Nil).
For the year ended 30 June 2012, the performance fee payable by AIX to Hastings after taking into account all carry forward performance deficit is $35,475,864 (2011:$Nil), comprising $3,780,835 payable by the Company and $31,695,029 payable by AIFT.
The AIFL Board has determined that the performance fee payable by AIX to Hastings be cash settled. As a consequence, the difference of $35,475,864 between the performance fee payable by AIX (inclusive of non-recoverable GST of $865,265) and the fair value of the performance fee obligation as assessed at 1 July 2011 of $Nil, has, in accordance with AASB2 Share Based Payments , been recognised as a charge against the security-based payment reserve, with a corresponding payable in AIX’s Statement of Financial Position.
AIFL and Hastings have agreed that payment of the performance fee for the year ended 30 June 2012 shall be deferred until the proposal to internalise the management of AIX proceeds, subject to that occurring by 31 December 2012.
Reimbursable expenses
Hastings is entitled under the AIFT Constitution and the AIFL management agreement to be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in administering AIX. The basis on which the expenses are reimbursed is defined in the AIFT Constitution and AIFL management agreement.
For the year ended 30 June 2012, Hastings was reimbursed $600,000 (2011: $207,000) for costs incurred on behalf of AIX. These amounts were paid by the Trust.

Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2012
1 General information
Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited (AIFL or the Company) was incorporated Australia under the Constitution dated 14 November 2007.
Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust (AIFT or the Trust) was established in Australia under the Constitution dated 24 January 1997 (as amended). AIFT was registered as a managed investment scheme with ASIC on 4 November 1999.
Hastings Funds Management Limited (Hastings) is the manager of AIFL and the Responsible Entity of AIFT.
The registered office of AIFL and Responsible Entity is located at Level 27, 35 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000.
As at 30 June 2012 AIFL and AIFT had nil employees, apart from the non-executive directors of AIFL (2011: nil employees).
Structure of consolidated financial statements
The ordinary shares issued by AIFL are stapled to the securities issued by AIFT. The combined entity of AIFL and AIFT and its controlled entities is known as the Australian Infrastructure Fund (AIX). On 6 March 1997, the stapled securities were listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and have the ASX code of AIX.
The units and shares will only be unstapled in accordance with the determination of the Responsible Entity for AIFT and the Board of AIFL if:
-
the unitholders of AIFT have approved the unstapling by special resolution;
-
the members of AIFL have approved the unstapling by special resolution; and
-
the unstapling period commences within three months after the later of the dates on which the approval of unitholders and members is obtained.
Hastings Funds Management Limited (Hastings) is the manager of AIFL and the Responsible Entity of AIFT.
For the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements that combine the assets and liabilities of AIFL and AIFT and its controlled entities, AIFL is identified as the parent entity.
The consolidated financial statements presented therefore comprise:
- Consolidated AIFL (AIX): Represents the entire AIX group, consisting of the Company and Consolidated AIFT; and
• Consolidated AIFT: Represents AIFT and its controlled entities.
As a consequence of revisions to the AIX expense allocation protocol, effective 1 July 2011, fees, security expenses and administration costs in connection with AIFL’s security holdings and operations that were previously borne on AIFL’s behalf by AIFT are borne directly by AIFL. The revisions to the expense allocation protocol have no impact on the expenses incurred by AIX (Consolidated AIFL).
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards (including Interpretations) the Corporations Act 2001 and AIFL’s and AIFT’s Constitutions.
The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where otherwise stated.
The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are presented on a liquidity basis. Assets and liabilities are presented in decreasing order of liquidity and are not distinguished between current and non-current.
The functional and presentation currency of AIFL and AIFT and its controlled entities is Australian dollars.
The consolidated financial statements of AIX (Consolidated AIFL) for the year ended 30 June 2012 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors of AIFL. The directors of AIFL have the power to amend and reissue the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of Consolidated AIFT for the year ended 30 June 2012 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors of the Responsible Entity. The directors of the Responsible Entity have the power to amend and reissue the consolidated financial statements.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) New accounting standards and interpretations
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2012 reporting period. The directors’ assessment of the impact of these new standards (to the extent relevant to AIX) and interpretations is set out below:
- (i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010- 7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising AASB 9 (effective from 1 January 2015)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9) addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities.
AASB 9 Financial Instruments requires all financial assets to be:
-
classified on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing its financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset;
-
initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, particular transaction costs; and
-
subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value
The requirements for derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities under AASB 9 remain the same as those of AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
AIX will apply the new standard and amendments from 1 July 2015. AIX is yet to fully assess the impact of adopting the new standard and amendments.
- (ii) AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , AASB 11 Joint Arrangements , AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (effective 1 January 2013)
In August 2011, the AASB issued a suite of five new and amended standards which address the accounting for joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures.
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (AASB 10) replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns before control is present. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. While AIX does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on how it currently accounts for its investees, it has yet to perform a detailed analysis of the new guidance in the context of its various investees that may or may not be controlled under the new rules.
AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (AASB 11) replaces AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures and introduces a principles based approach to accounting for joint arrangements. The focus is no longer on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement. Based on the assessment of rights and obligations, a joint arrangement will be classified as either a joint operation or joint venture. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, and the choice to proportionately consolidate will no longer be permitted. Parties to a joint operation will account their share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities in much the same way as under the previous standard. AASB 11 also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not share joint control. As AIX is not party to any joint arrangements, this standard will not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (AASB 12) sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, AASB 10 and AASB 11, and replaces the disclosure requirements found in the superseded AASB 128 Investments in Associates . Application of this standard by AIX will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to AIX’s investments.
AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements is renamed AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and is now a standard dealing solely with separate financial statements. Application of this standard by AIX will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
20
Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2012 (continued)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) New accounting standards and interpretations (continued)
AASB 128 Investments in Associates is renamed AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (AASB 128). Amendments to AASB 128 provide clarification that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept. As AIX does not have any associates, this standard does not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
AIX will apply the new and revised standards and amendments from 1 July 2013.
- (iii) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013)
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13) was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. AIX has yet to determine which, if any, of its current measurement techniques will have to change as a result of the new guidance. It is therefore not possible to state the impact, if any, of the new rules on any of the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. However, application of the new standard and amendments will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. AIX will apply the new standard and amendments from 1 July 2013.
- (iv) AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (effective 1 July 2012)
In September 2011, the AASB made an amendment to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements which requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether they may be recycled to the profit or loss in the future. It will not affect the measurement of any of the items recognised in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position or the profit or loss in the current reporting period. AIX will apply the amendments from 1 July 2012.
- (v) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)
In July 2011 the AASB decided to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, to achieve consistency with the international equivalent standard and remove a duplication of the requirements with the Corporations Act 2001 . While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the financial statements, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The amendments apply from the reporting period beginning 1 July 2013 and cannot be adopted early. The Corporations Act 2001 requirements in relation to remuneration reports will remain unchanged for now, but these requirements are currently subject to review and may also be revised in the near future .
(c) Basis of consolidation
In accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations , for the purpose of preparing consolidated financial statements that combines the assets and liabilities of AIFL and AIFT and its subsidiaries, AIFL is identified as the parent entity.
The consolidated financial statements of AIFL incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of AIFL (or parent entity), being AIFT and its subsidiaries, as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year ended 30 June 2012. AIFL and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these consolidated financial statements as Consolidated AIFL or AIX.
The consolidated financial statements of AIFT incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of AIFT, being Australian Infrastructure Fund International 1 Trust and its subsidiaries, as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year ended 30 June 2012. AIFT and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these consolidated financial statements as Consolidated AIFT.
Subsidiaries are those entities (including special purpose entities) over which AIFL or AIFT has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether AIFL or AIFT controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to AIFL or AIFT. They are de-consolidated from the date the control ceases.
All transactions (including gains and losses) and balances between entities in AIX and Consolidated AIFT are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as AIFT, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
21
Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2012 (continued)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Parent entity financial information
The financial information for the parent entities AIFL and AIFT, disclosed in Note 32 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are recorded at fair value through profit or loss in the individual financial statements of the parent entities.
Income tax
Under current legislation, AIFT is not subject to income tax provided the taxable income of AIFT is fully distributed either by way of cash or reinvestment (i.e. unitholders are presently entitled to the income of AIFT).
(e) Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In applying AIX’s accounting policies management continually evaluates estimates, judgements and assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on the entity. All estimates, judgements and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances available to management. Actual results may differ from the estimates, judgements and assumptions. Significant estimates, judgements and assumptions are outlined below:
Valuation of unlisted securities
The fair values of unlisted securities are determined by an appropriately qualified independent valuer, KPMG Corporate Finance, by projecting future cash flows and then discounting these cash flows back to their present value using a post-tax, risk adjusted discount rate.
The carrying amount of unlisted securities held by AIX as at 30 June 2012 was $1,816,155,000 (2011: $1,756,228,000).
Global capital markets continue to be volatile. The fair values of unlisted securities have been adjusted to reflect market conditions at the end of the reporting period. While this represents the best estimate of fair value at the end of the reporting period, if the unlisted securities were to be sold, the price achieved may differ from the fair value recorded at the end of the reporting period.
Further information in relation to unlisted securities is provided in Note 16.
(f) Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translations at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.
(g) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Board of Hastings (acting in its capacity as the Responsible Entity for AIFT), which makes strategic decisions.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
For Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short term, high liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
22
Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2012 (continued)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(i) Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
Receivables may include interest, dividends and trust distributions. Interest, dividends and trust distributions are accrued in accordance with the policy note set out in Note 2(n).
All receivables, unless otherwise stated, are non-interest bearing, unsecured and generally received within 30 days of being recorded as receivables.
Impairment allowance
Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account (provision for impairment of receivables) is used when there is objective evidence that AIX will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired.
The amount of the impairment allowance 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. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised as expense in the profit or loss. When a receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are written back against the impairment allowance in the profit or loss.
(j) Securities
Securities comprise listed securities, unlisted securities and derivative securities.
Securities are recorded at fair value through the profit or loss upon initial recognition. Costs incidental to the acquisition of securities and subsidiaries are recognised in the profit or loss when incurred.
After initial recognition, securities are measured at fair value as they are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with AIX’s investment strategy.
Unrealised gains or losses on securities are recognised through profit or loss and represent:
-
Movements in the fair value of securities which are held as at the end of the reporting period.
-
Unrealised gains or losses on securities which are held as at the end of the reporting period are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the end of current reporting period and the fair value at the end of previous reporting period or the date the securities are acquired.
-
Reversal of any life-to-date unrealised gains or losses as at the previous reporting period in connection with any securities that have been sold, restructured, settled or terminated in the current reporting period.
Realised gains and losses on securities are recognised through profit or loss upon the sale, restructure, settlement or termination of securities and are calculated as the difference between the settlement amount and the fair value upon initial recognition.
Purchases and sales of securities that require delivery of securities within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention in the market place are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that AIX commits to purchase or sell the securities.
Listed securities
AIX did not hold any listed securities at 30 June 2012 (2011: nil).
Derivative securities
AIX did not hold any derivative securities at 30 June 2012 (2011: nil).

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(j) Securities (continued)
Unlisted securities
Unlisted securities comprise ordinary shares, ordinary units, preference shares, shareholder loans and accrued interest income.
The fair value of unlisted securities is determined by an appropriately qualified independent valuer, KPMG Corporate Finance (KPMG), primarily by projecting future cash flows and then discounting these cash flows back to their present value using a post-tax, risk adjusted discount rate. The independent valuations assume investments are not being sold and if they were to be realised then there may be potential capital gains tax implications for AIX or securityholders depending on the structure of any disposal. Discount rates used are developed on an individual unlisted security basis as determined by the independent valuer. KPMG calculates the relevant discount rate applied to the cash flows of each asset using the Capital Asset Pricing Model method, whereby a premium is added to the risk free rate. The premium takes into account the risk of comparable companies and also incorporates firm specific risk. KPMG uses a 10 year government bond rate in the relevant country as a proxy for the risk free rate. The Responsible Entity and the Company adopted KPMG’s valuations as at 30 June 2012.
Further information relating to unlisted securities is provided in Note 16.
The post-tax risk adjusted discount rates applied by KPMG Corporate Finance in determining the fair value of each unlisted security (inclusive of any declared but unpaid income) as at 30 June 2012 are detailed below:
| Unlisted Security Name | Valuation 30-Jun-12 $'000 |
Post-tax risk adjusted discount rate 30-Jun-12 % |
Valuation 30-Jun-11 $'000 |
Post-tax risk adjusted discount rate 30-Jun-11 % |

(k) Payables
Payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Payables include liabilities and accrued expenses owing by AIX which are unpaid as at the end of the reporting period.
The distribution amount payable to securityholders as at the end of each reporting period is recognised separately when securityholders are presently entitled to the distributable income under AIX’s Constitution.
All payables, unless otherwise stated, are non-interest bearing, unsecured and generally settled on 30 day terms.
(l) Borrowings
All borrowings are initially recognised at fair value being the consideration received.
After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs or fees in relation to the establishment of borrowing facilities, and any discount or premium on settlement.
To the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, fees paid on the establishment of the borrowing facilities are deferred and offset against the carrying amounts of borrowings. Upon the draw down of funds from the facility, the fees are amortised over the period of the facility to which they relate.
To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, fees paid on the establishment of the borrowing facilities are initially capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and are subsequently amortised over the period of the facility to which the fees relate.
Other borrowing costs are expensed through profit or loss.
Borrowings are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised as other income or finance costs.

(m) Issued financial instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of such financial instruments are recognised as a reduction of the proceeds received.
(n) Income and expense recognition
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to AIX and the income can be reliably measured.
Expenses are recognised in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income when AIX has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event that can be reliably measured and where the expenses do not produce future economic benefits that qualify for recognition in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before income and expenses are recognised:
Interest income
Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues (using the effective interest method, which is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument) to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Dividend and distribution income
Dividend and distribution income is recognised when there is control over the right to receive the dividend or distribution payment.
Manager and Responsible Entity base management fees
Information in relation to Manager and Responsible Entity base management fees payable to Hastings is provided in Note 8.
Hastings is also entitled under the AIFT Constitution and the AIFL management agreement to be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in administering AIX. The basis on which the expenses are reimbursed is defined in the AIFT Constitution and the AIFL management agreement.
Manager and Responsible Entity performance fees
Information in relation to Manager and Responsible Entity performance fees payable to Hastings is provided in Note 8.
The performance fee arrangement in place with Hastings is required to be accounted for under AASB 2 Share Based Payments as it is a share-based payment transaction in which the terms of the arrangement provide AIX and Consolidated AIFT with a choice of settlement in either cash or AIX stapled securities. Applying AASB 2, the fair value of the performance fee obligation is determined at the beginning of the financial year (1 July) and is recognised as a performance fee expense and an increase in a security-based payment reserve in AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s Statement of Financial Position on a progressive basis throughout the year.
In accordance with AASB 2 at the end of the financial year the following accounting takes place:
-
If no performance fee is ultimately levied, no further accounting entries are processed.
-
If a performance fee is levied and is to be settled by way of the issue of AIX stapled securities, no further accounting entries are processed, however, upon the issue of the AIX stapled securities, the performance fee entitlement amount that was charged to the security-based payment reserve is reallocated to contributed equity in AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s Statement of Financial Position.
-
If a performance fee is levied and is settled in cash, the differential between the cash settlement amount and the amount recognised as the performance fee expense for the year is charged against a security-based payment reserve, with a corresponding payable in AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s Statement of Financial Position.
Finance and borrowing costs
Refer to Note 2(l) for the recognition and measurement of borrowing costs. Other finance costs and borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(o) Distributions
AIFT’s Constitution requires the Responsible Entity to distribute to each securityholder an amount representing the distributable income entitlement of each securityholder in respect of a distribution period at the Responsible Entity’s discretion. Distributable income is defined under AIFT’s constitution as the net income of AIFT as defined under section 95(1) of the Tax Act, less any amounts the Responsible Entity may in its absolute discretion determine to deduct.
The net income of AIFT includes capital gains arising from the disposal of unlisted securities. Unrealised net gains or losses on unlisted securities are not included in the determination of net income. Capital losses are not included in the determination of net income but are retained to be offset against any future realised capital gains.
The AIFT Constitution also allows the Responsible Entity, as it may determine, to distribute to each securityholder any part of the corpus of AIFT in the proportion to which the securityholder would have been entitled in a distribution of that sum, were it distributable income.
(p) Income tax
AIFL and certain entities that are part of Consolidated AIFT are subject to income tax.
The income tax expense or revenue for the year is the tax payable or receivable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax for each entity’s jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Hastings periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss or in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax asset is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to either settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

(q) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
-
where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and
-
receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Reduced input tax credits recoverable by AIFL or AIFT from the Australian Taxation Office are recognised as receivables in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority, are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
(r) Rounding of amounts to the nearest thousand dollars
AIX is an entity of the kind referred to in Class Order 98/100 (as amended), issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the ''rounding off'' of amounts in the financial report. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars in accordance with that Class Order, unless otherwise indicated.

Base Management Fees
In accordance with the AIFL management agreement and the AIFT Constitution, Hastings as Manager and Responsible Entity is entitled to a base management fee.
The management fee is calculated at the rate of 1% per annum of AIX’s market capitalisation, based on the volume weighted average traded price over the 20 business days prior to the calculation date multiplied by the stapled securities outstanding. The management fee accrues daily and is payable monthly in arrears.
Performance Fees
AIX performance fees are payable at the conclusion of each year ended 30 June where there is a positive performance position relative to benchmark for the year ended 30 June after taking into account any previous shortfall.
Specifically, under the AIFL Management Agreement and the AIFT Consolidated Constitution, at the end of each year Hastings is entitled to a performance fee equal to 10% of the out-performance of AIX’s total return (growth in security price plus reinvested distributions) against the ASX 200 Industrials Accumulation Index return (Benchmark Return), after taking into account any carried forward performance deficit (previous shortfall). If the calculation of the AIX total return for a year is less than the benchmark return for that year, the shortfall is carried forward and taken into account in calculating whether the AIX total return exceeds the benchmark return in subsequent years.
The AIFL Management Agreement (section 5) and the AIFT Consolidated Constitution (sections 48 and 71) are silent as to the precise form in which the performance fees are to be settled. However the AIFT Consolidated Constitution (section 71) does provide AIFL the discretion to determine the form of settlement. At the 2010 AIX Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 17 November 2010 securityholders approved the resolution that that if performance fees are payable to Hastings then the AIFL Board would be entitled to require Hastings to be paid some or all of the performance fee in either cash or AIX securities. This approval is in place for a period of three years from the date of the AGM, that is, until 17 November 2013.
In accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments , the fair value of the performance fee obligation was assessed at the beginning of the financial year (1 July 2011). The fair value of the performance fee obligation that was assessed and recognised as an expense in the Income Statement of AIX and Consolidated AIFT was $Nil (2011: $Nil).
For the year ended 30 June 2012, the performance fee payable by AIX to Hastings after taking into account all carry forward performance deficit was $35,475,864, comprising $3,780,835 payable by the Company and $31,695,029 payable by AIFT.
The AIFL Board has determined that the performance fee payable to Hastings be cash settled. As a consequence:
- the difference of $35,475,864 between the performance fee payable by AIX (inclusive of non-recoverable GST of $865,265) and the fair value of the performance fee obligation as assessed at 1 July 2011 of $Nil, has, in accordance with AASB2 Share Based Payments , been recognised as a charge against the security-based payment reserve, with a corresponding payable in AIX’s Statement of Financial Position.
29
Australian Infrastructure Fund Limited Australian Infrastructure Fund Trust Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2012 (continued)
8 Manager and Responsible Entity fees (continued)
- the difference of $31,695,029 between the performance fee payable by Consolidated AIFT (inclusive of non-recoverable GST of $773,048) and the fair value of the performance fee obligation as assessed at 1 July 2011 of $Nil, has, in accordance with AASB2 Share Based Payments , been recognised as a charge against the security-based payment reserve, with a corresponding payable in Consolidated AIFT’s Statement of Financial Position.
AIFL and Hastings have agreed that payment of the performance fee for the year ended 30 June 2012 shall be deferred until the proposal to internalise the management of AIX proceeds, subject to that occurring by 31 December 2012.

In accordance with its public announcement on 29 June 2012, the AIFL and Hastings Boards have reached a non-binding agreement on the key terms upon which the management of AIX could be internalised. It is intended for this in-principle agreement to be developed into a detailed implementation agreement following which, if appropriate terms are agreed, the approval of AIX securityholders will be sought. Prior to seeking this approval, AIX will seek all necessary regulatory approvals, waivers, consents and tax rulings, and an independent expert will have opined upon the terms of the proposed internalisation and concluded it is fair and reasonable and therefore in the best interests of AIX securityholders.
Strategic initiative costs reflect costs associated with internalisation, which have been incurred by AIFL and AIFT in reaching this non-binding agreement and developing the proposal for internalising the management of AIX in preparation for consideration by AIX securityholders.

As a consequence of revisions to the AIX expense allocation protocol, effective 1 July 2011 the directors’ retirement provision that was previously recognised as a liability by AIFT was derecognised by AIFT and recognised as a liability by AIFL.
The revisions to the AIX expense allocation protocol had no impact on the directors’ retirement expense or provision recognised by AIX (Consolidated AIFL), however it has resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset by AIX (Consolidated AIFL).

25 Segment information
Operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the Board of AIFL and the Board of Hastings that are, in conjunction with the input and guidance of the chief executive officer of AIX, used to make strategic decisions for AIX. The operating segments are aligned with the investment objectives and guidelines set out in AIX’s PDS and in accordance with the provisions of AIX’s Constitutions.
AIX has one reportable operating segment being the investment in unlisted infrastructure securities.
The AIFL and Hastings’ Boards takes a broad portfolio construction approach to its investment and divestment activities of infrastructure securities and to the management of AIX. Accordingly, all operating decisions are based upon analysis of AIX as one operating segment.
The segment information reported to the Boards is consistent with the Accounting Standards and therefore consistent with the information included within the consolidated financial statements.
26 Financial instruments
(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies
AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits, investments in unlisted securities and interest-bearing loans and borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to generate a return on the investment made by securityholders. AIX and Consolidated AIFT have various other financial instruments such as trade receivables and trade payables, which arise directly from their operations.
AIX and Consolidated AIFT do not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The main risks arising from AIX’s and Consolidated AIFT’s financial instruments are credit risk, interest rate risk, price risk, foreign currency risk, and liquidity risk.
The directors of AIFL and the directors of the Responsible Entity of AIFT review and agree policies for managing each of these risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full when they fall due and AIX and Consolidated AIFT will incur a financial loss.
The main concentration of credit risk to which AIX and Consolidated AIFT are exposed arises from their exposure to unlisted securities that are debt securities such as shareholder loans. AIX and Consolidated AIFT are also exposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.
To manage credit risk, AIX and Consolidated AIFT deal only with high credit quality financial institutions for their cash transactions. At an asset level, AIX and Consolidated AIFT aim to achieve an appropriate risk adjusted return for each of their investments. This is achieved through appropriate investment due diligence on an asset by asset basis. With regard to credit risk at the portfolio level, AIX and Consolidated AIFT are diversified by sector, geography and stage of development.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value or the value of its cash flows may fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. Financial instruments whose cashflows are determined by reference to variable interest rates include cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing receivables, interest bearing unlisted securities and interest bearing borrowings.
Movements in interest rates directly affect the value of AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s unlisted securities. As discussed in Note 2(j), the value of the unlisted securities is determined by discounting the projected future cashflows of the underlying entity. The discount rate utilised incorporates a risk free rate component as well as a market risk premium factor that reflects the excess return that a market portfolio of assets generates over the risk free rate. The market risk premium is generally determined with reference to market observations over a long period of time and therefore remains relatively stable.
Movements in interest rates directly affect cashflows generated by AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing receivables, interest bearing unlisted securities and interest bearing borrowings.
As AIX’s investment strategy is long term, AIX and Consolidated AIFT do not hedge these interest rate exposures.

26 Financial instruments (continued)
(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies (continued)
Price risk
Price risk is the risk that a financial instruments value may fluctuate as a result of changes in its price.
AIX and Consolidated AIFT are exposed to price risk on their unlisted security holdings.
AIX and Consolidated AIFT mitigate price risk by a thorough due diligence process and careful selection of investments. On an ongoing basis, investee companies are monitored throughout the year via Board representation, management reporting and detailed discussions with the underlying investee company. The results of the monitoring completed by management are reported to the AIFL and Hastings Boards on a regular basis.
Unlisted security prices are affected by the underlying cashflows of the unlisted security. The underlying cashflows used in valuing unlisted securities are provided by investee management in the form of a financial model, which is reviewed at least annually during the budgeting process and approved by representatives on the investee’s board. The key drivers of the financial model include expected volumes, agreed pricing and the cost and timing of capital expenditure projects at each asset. Forecast volumes and pricing negotiations are performed by investee management with the assistance of, as appropriate, external consultants who provide specialist advice and a further layer of objectivity. In pricing negotiations, the investee boards are often consulted on key issues and provided with regular updates throughout the process. Capital expenditure is planned by investee management and also requires investee board approval prior to project commencement.
Due to the long term view that is taken, AIX and Consolidated AIFT do not hedge against these short-term fluctuations.
Foreign exchange rate risk
Foreign exchange rate risk is the risk that a financial instrument’s value or the value of its cash flows may fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates.
AIX and Consolidated AIFT invest in one offshore unlisted security, whose value and cashflows are denominated in Euro. As a result, AIX and Consolidated AIFT are exposed to movements in the Australian dollar/Euro foreign exchange rate.
It is AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s policy not to hedge the carrying value of foreign currency denominated unlisted securities or any foreign currency cash flows that these foreign currency denominated unlisted securities generate.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that AIX and Consolidated AIFT may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle their obligations in full as and when they fall due or can do so in forms that are materially disadvantageous.
To manage liquidity risk, AIX and Consolidated AIFT actively monitor cash balances and forecast operational cashflows and liabilities on a regular basis. In addition to available cash on hand, AIX and Consolidated AIFT have short term funding lines.
All AIX and Consolidated AIFT’s financial liabilities as at 30 June 2012 are at call and due within twelve months.

(b) Credit risk
There are no material amounts receivable past due or impaired.
Concentration of credit risk
Credit exposures at balance date are cash and cash equivalent balances (Note 13), receivables balances (Note 14) as well as the following unlisted security balances:
| Name Instrument Type Perth Airport Shareholder Loans HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital Group Shareholder Loans Queensland Airports Limited Loan Notes Metro Light Rail and Monorail Shareholder Loans |
2012 2011 $'000 $'000 43,284 20,781 79,429 98,727 24,786 22,332 0 27,774 147,499 169,614 AIX Consolidated AIFL |

|---|---|---|
| 147,499 169,614 |
The maximum exposure to credit risk of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and all securities aside from Metro Light Rail and Monorail, approximates their carrying amounts.
No collateral is held against receivables.
(c) Summarised sensitivity analysis
The following tables summarise the sensitivity of material financial assets and financial liabilities to movements in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The effect of a +/- 1% shift in interest rates has been selected for interest rate sensitivity as it represents the approximate historic 12 month average movement in the yield of the 10 year Australian Government Bond Rate (the risk free rate). In any 12 month period the shift in interest rates could be more or less than 1%.
A change in interest rates affects the interest revenue and interest expense of AIX, affecting cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing receivables, unlisted securities and borrowings respectively.
The interest rate sensitivity assumes the discount rate used to determine the fair value of unlisted securities is changed by the stated amount, whilst holding all other variables constant. The effect of a +/- 1% shift in interest rates on unlisted securities has been approximated through valuation sensitivities performed at discount rates reflecting the selected range while all other valuation variables are held constant.
Foreign Exchange Rate Sensitivity
The effect of a +/- 10% movement in foreign exchange rates has been selected for foreign exchange rate sensitivity.
In the current year, the Australian Dollar (AUD) had depreciated 2.3% against the British Pound Sterling (GBP), appreciated 8.8% against the Euro (EUR), depreciated 1.6% against the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) and depreciated 5.3% against the US Dollar (USD).
The 10% sensitivity was selected as it represents foreign exchange movements over a 12 month period in the context of the longer term historical volatility.

(d) Fair values of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of AIX’s and Consolidated AIFT’s financial instruments and the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values of instruments are summarised below.
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values because of their short term to maturity.
Receivables and payables
The carrying amounts of receivables and payables approximate their fair values because of their short term to settlement.
Securities
Unlisted securities are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The determination of the fair values of the unlisted securities is outlined in Note 2(j).
Borrowings
The carrying amount of borrowings approximates their fair value on the basis that the borrowings in place are floating rate borrowings.
The fair value of borrowings is determined by projecting future cash flows and then discounting these cash flows back to their present value using a post-tax, risk adjusted discount rate. Where appropriate, fair value is calibrated to relevant market developments.
Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss
AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure requires financial instruments measured at fair value to be classified in the following fair value hierarchy:
-
(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);
-
(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
-
(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
The only financial instruments that are fair valued as at 30 June 2012 are unlisted securities.
Unlisted securities are included in Level 3 on the basis that the valuation techniques adopted are based on significant unobservable inputs.

Non-executive directors’ remuneration
Remuneration Policy
The Board of directors of AIFL (the Board) with the assistance of the Remuneration Committee is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements for the directors of the Company.
The fees paid to directors are set at levels that reflect both the responsibilities of, and the time commitments required from, the directors to discharge their duties. In order to maintain their independence and impartiality, the remuneration of the nonexecutive directors is not linked to the performance of either the Company or the Trust.
In setting fee levels, the Board takes into account:
-
independent professional advice;
-
fees paid by comparable companies;
-
the general time commitment required from directors and the risks associated with discharging the duties attaching to the role of director; and
-
the level of remuneration necessary to attract and retain directors of a suitable calibre.
The Remuneration Committee and the Board will continue to review its approach to non-executive director remuneration to ensure it remains in line with general industry practice and best practice principles of corporate governance.
Directors’ fees expensed for the year ended 30 June 2012 totalled $936,855 (2011: $826,983).
Non-executive directors’ fees, including committee fees, are set by the Board within the maximum aggregate amount of $1,200,000 per annum approved by securityholders in 2010. Committee fees also include ad hoc committees such as Due Diligence committees which may be required from time to time. The remuneration of directors was last revised on 1 March 2011.
The Board elected in April 2003 to phase out the retirement benefit and directors who joined the Board after that date are not entitled to a retirement benefit. The retirement benefit, where applicable, is determined by a consulting actuary. The appointment of the Chairman of the Board predates the retirement benefit phase out. No other directors are entitled to a retirement benefit.
The Chairman of the Board is entitled to a fee of $275,000 per annum.
Directors are entitled to a fee of $110,000 per annum.
The Chairman of the Audit Committee is entitled to a fee of $23,000 per annum. The ordinary members of the Audit Committee were entitled to a fee of $11,500 per annum. The Chairman of the Board declined his fee for membership of the Audit Committee.
In addition, superannuation contributions are paid on behalf of the non-executive directors in accordance with the Company’s statutory superannuation obligations.

These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
Our procedures include reading the other information in the Annual Report to determine whether it contains any material inconsistencies with the financial report.
