DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

(f) Remuneration Report

Remuneration policy for Directors and Executives

Non Executive Directors

The Board seeks the approval of Shareholders in relation to the aggregate of Non Executive Directors’ remuneration and any options and performance rights that may be granted to Directors. The remuneration for Non Executive Directors is reviewed from time to time, with due regard to current market rates. The cash remuneration of Non Executive Directors is not linked to the Company’s performance in order to preserve independence. Other than statutory superannuation, no Non Executive Director is entitled to any additional benefits on retirement from the Company.

Management of the Company believes that in order to retain quality Non Executive Directors on the Board, some incentive to maintain their future involvement, commitment and loyalty to the Company is required on certain occasions over and above nominal Directors' fees. No Director received a payment during the current or prior years as consideration for agreeing to hold the relevant position.

The maximum total remuneration payable to Non Executive Directors was approved by Shareholders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting and is currently $500,000. In the current year remuneration to Non Executive Directors totalled $374,300, including statutory superannuation. The Board determines the apportionment of directors’ fees between each Director.

Managing Director

The Managing Director’s remuneration is determined by the Remuneration Committee with due regard to current market rates.

The Managing Director has a short term incentive bonus amounting to 28% of his base remuneration package. Each year the Remuneration Committee sets key performance indicators (KPIs) for the Managing Director to earn this short term incentive bonus. These KPIs typically include financial, strategic and risk based measures. The Remuneration Committee set these performance hurdles as they are significant profit and cash flow drivers which are linked to Imdex’s increased growth and profitability and hence shareholder value. Performance is measured relative to budget and forecast results as these are the most accurate measures available against which to assess the achievement of set hurdles. The balance of his cash compensation package for the current year is not linked to the Group’s performance.

From time to time options or performance rights may be issued to the Managing Director as a long term performance incentive. The portion of the Managing Director’s compensation package that comprises options or performance rights is linked to the Company’s performance. The number of options or performance rights granted are determined with regard to current market trends. The issue of any such options or performance rights requires the approval of Shareholders in General Meeting.

The Managing Director is employed under a permanent contract that provides for a 12 month termination period. No additional benefits above those already entitled to will become payable on termination.

Executives and Staff

All Executives and staff of the Company are subject to a formal annual performance review. The remuneration of Executives comprises a fixed monetary total, which is not linked to the performance of the Company, although bonuses related to the performance of the Company may be agreed between that Executive and the Company from time to time. The base component of Executive salaries is benchmarked against current market trends and is not linked to Company performance as it serves to attract and retain suitably qualified and experienced staff. Performance incentives that are linked to Company performance are used to reward Executives for exceptional performance that benefits the Company and Shareholders.

Each year the Remuneration Committee sets the KPIs for each key management person. These KPIs typically include people, customer, system, financial, strategic and risk based measures. The Remuneration Committee set these performance hurdles as they are significant profit and cash flow drivers which are linked to Imdex’s increased growth and profitability and hence shareholder value. Performance is measured relative to budget and forecast results as these are the most accurate measures available against which to assess the achievement of set hurdles. No bonus is awarded where hurdles are not met.

From time to time options or performance rights may be issued to the Executives and staff as a long term performance incentive. The portion of remuneration package that comprises options or performance rights is linked to the Company’s performance. The number of options or performance rights granted are determined with regard to current market trends. The issue of any such options or performance rights requires the approval of Shareholders in General Meeting.

All Executives are employed under permanent contracts, none of which provide for any termination payments. Mr G E Weston’s contract provides a 12 month notice period and Mr D J Loughlin’s and Mr P A Evans’ contracts provide a 6 month notice period and Mr M L Quesnel’s contract provided for a 30 day notice period. No additional benefits above those already entitled to will become payable on termination.

IMDEX LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

(i) Mr B W Ridgeway is a party to a service contract with Imdex Limited, which sets out a fixed compensation package, reviewable annually. The service contract specifies a twelve month notice period in the event that the contract is terminated. If the contract is terminated without notice, the notice period will become payable in cash. There are no termination benefits specified in this contract. Additional performance incentives may be agreed between Mr Ridgeway and Imdex Limited from time to time. The Managing Director’s compensation is reviewed and determined annually by the Remuneration Committee.

Mr Ridgeway earned a short term cash bonus of $140,000 in the current year. This bonus was achieved for exceeding budgeted EBITA levels by more than a set percentage and for achieving one of three product development milestones. An additional $40,000 could have been earned by Mr Ridgeway had the remaining two product development targets and one cash flow related target been met. Mr Ridgeway earned a short term cash bonus of $10,000 in the prior year on the achievement of operational targets.

No options were granted to Mr Ridgeway in the current year or in the prior year.

The grant of 196,579 performance rights to Mr Ridgeway in the current year was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 14 October 2010. The Managing Director is subject to two hurdles each with equal weighting. The first is that the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of Imdex Limited must exceed the average TSR of the ASX300 over the 3 year measurement period. The second is that the Earnings Per Share of Imdex Limited must exceed the average EPS of the ASX300 over the 3 year measurement period. The performance hurdle in relation to these performance rights will be measured after the audit sign off of the FY13 financial statements on or about August 2013. No value has therefore been received by Mr Ridgeway in the current year. Refer note 33 for further details.

The grant of 234,375 performance rights to Mr Ridgeway in the prior year was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 15 October 2009. All of these performance rights expired in the prior year due to the FY10 EBITA performance hurdles not being met. No value was therefore received by Mr Ridgeway. Refer note 33 for further details.

(ii) Mr G E Weston is party to a service contract with Imdex Limited, which sets out a fixed compensation package, reviewable annually. The service contract stipulates a twelve month notice period in the event that the contract is terminated. There are no termination benefits specified in this contract. Performance incentives may be agreed between Mr Weston and Imdex Limited from time to time. Additionally, Mr Weston is party to a deed with Imdex Limited, granting Mr Weston the right of first refusal of Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd, a 100% held subsidiary of Imdex Limited, in the event that an offer is received by the directors of Imdex Limited to purchase 100% of the Imdex Limited shares on issue. This ‘right’ lapses automatically should Mr Weston no longer be employed by Imdex Limited.

Mr Weston earned a short term cash bonus of $178,500 on achievement of specified profitability hurdles. This was the maximum possible bonus that Mr Weston could have earned. No short term cash bonus was earned in the prior year as the required hurdles were not met.

No options were granted to Mr Weston in the current or prior year. The options expense shown in the tables above includes a portion of the value of options granted in past years that has been spread over the three year vesting period. Refer note 32 for further details.

Mr Weston was granted 120,897 performance rights in the current period under the Performance Rights Plan. It is expected that the hurdles applicable to all of these performance rights will be achieved in the current year. These 120,897 performance rights will be settled via the issue of 120,897 fully paid ordinary shares in Imdex Limited in equal one third tranches annually on or about August each year starting in August 2011 on condition that Mr Weston remains employed by Imdex Limited at that time. Refer note 33 for further details.

Mr Weston was granted 136,009 performance rights in the prior period under the Performance Rights Plan. All of these performance rights expired in the prior year due to the FY10 EBITA performance hurdles not being met. No value was therefore received by Mr Weston. Refer note 33 for further details.

(iii) Mr D J Loughlin is a party to a service contract with Imdex Limited, which sets out a fixed compensation package reviewable annually. The service contract specifies a six month notice period in the event that the contract is terminated. There are no termination benefits specified in this contract. Additional performance incentives may be agreed between Mr Loughlin and Imdex Limited from time to time.

Mr Loughlin earned a short term cash bonus of $113,150 on achievement of specified profitability hurdles. This was the maximum possible bonus that Mr Loughlin could have earned. No short term cash bonus was earned in the prior year as the required hurdles were not met.

No options were granted to Mr Loughlin in the current or prior year. The options expense shown in the tables above includes a portion of the value of options granted in past years that has been spread over the three year vesting period. Refer note 32 for further details.

Mr Loughlin was granted 125,587 performance rights in the current period under the Performance Rights Plan. It is expected that the hurdles applicable to all of these performance rights will be achieved in the current year. These 125,587 performance rights will be settled via the issue of 125,587 fully paid ordinary shares in Imdex Limited in equal one third tranches annually on or about August each year starting in August 2011 on condition that Mr Loughlin remains employed by Imdex Limited at that time. Refer note 33 for further details.

Mr Loughlin was granted 93,493 performance rights in the prior period under the Performance Rights Plan. All of these performance rights expired in the current year due to the FY10 EBITA performance hurdles not being met. No value was therefore received by Mr Loughlin. Refer note 33 for further details.

No short term cash bonus was earned in the prior year as the required hurdles were not met.

No options were granted to Mr Mander in the prior year. The options expense shown in the tables above includes a portion of the value of options granted in past years that has been spread over the three year vesting period. Refer note 32 for further details.

Mr Mander was granted 73,437 performance rights in the prior period under the Performance Rights Plan. All of these performance rights expired in the prior year due to the FY10 EBITA performance hurdles not being met. No value was therefore received by Mr Mander. Refer note 33 for further details.

(vi) Mr P A Evans is a party to a service contract with Imdex Limited, which sets out a fixed compensation package reviewable annually. The service contract specifies a six month notice period in the event that the contract is terminated. There are no termination benefits specified in this contract. Additional performance incentives may be agreed between Mr Evans and Imdex Limited from time to time.

Mr Evans earned a short term cash bonus of $149,650 on achievement of specified profitability hurdles. This was the maximum possible bonus that Mr Evans could have earned. No short term cash bonus was earned in the prior year as the required hurdles were not met.

No options were granted to Mr Evans in the current or prior year. The options expense shown in the table above includes a portion of the value of options granted in past years that has been spread over the three year vesting period. Refer note 32 for further details.

Mr Evans was granted 111,806 performance rights in the current period under the Performance Rights Plan. It is expected that the hurdles applicable to all of these performance rights will be achieved in the current year. These 111,806 performance rights will be settled via the issue of 111,806 fully paid ordinary shares in Imdex Limited in equal one third tranches annually on or about August each year starting in August 2011 on condition that Mr Evans remains employed by Imdex Limited at that time. Refer note 33 for further details.

Mr Evans was granted 112,110 performance rights in the prior period under the Performance Rights Plan. All of these performance rights expired in the prior year due to the FY10 EBITA performance hurdles not being met. No value was therefore received by Mr Evans. Refer note 33 for further details.

Bonuses granted to Directors and Senior Managers

The table below sets out the bonuses earned by Directors and Senior Managers in the current year. Bonuses are paid on the achievement of performance criteria specific to the individual. Where performance hurdles are not met, no bonus is paid. The performance criteria used are chosen by the Remuneration Committee annually and are linked to the financial performance of the company and hence shareholder value. Performance criteria typically revolve around areas of risk management, people development, systems improvement and EBITA performance. Performance criteria are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee against budgeted outcomes before granting bonuses.

(i) Principal Activities

The Group’s principal continuing activities during the course of the financial year were manufacturing and sale and rental of a range of drilling fluids and chemicals and down hole instrumentation.

(j) Review of Operations

During the current year the Imdex Group continued with its strategy to sell drilling fluids and chemicals as well as develop, rent and sell technologically advanced down hole instrumentation to the mining and oil & gas industries globally.

The Imdex Group expanded its European footprint by purchasing Mud-Data GmbH, a mud business with a presence in Germany and Romania. The competitive position in the Australian east coast market was also strengthened through the purchase of Brisbane based Fluidstar Pty Ltd and Ecospin Pty Ltd.

These acquisitions occurred against the global backdrop of strong commodity prices, high drill rig utilisation rates and increasing exploration spending which assisted existing Imdex Group businesses to expand organically.

The Imdex Group to earn revenue from continuing operations including interest of $205.3 million (2010: $135.6 million) and profit after tax of $29.0 million (2010: loss $21.5 million).

(k) Dividends

In the current year a fully franked interim dividend of 1.75 cents per ordinary share was paid on 25 March 2011 to shareholders registered on 11 March 2011. Since 30 June 2011 the Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 2.75 cents per ordinary share, the financial effect of which has not been reflected in this Financial Report.

In the prior year no dividends were declared or paid.

(l) Changes in State Of Affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group.

IMDEX LIMITED

and its controlled entities

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011

(m) Subsequent Events

Effective 1 July 2011 Imdex Limited was allotted fully paid ordinary shares in DHS Oil Services Limited (DHSO) in exchange for the granting of an exclusive global technology license to use its oil & gas surveying instruments and technology. Following this allotment Imdex Limited holds 50% of the issued share capital of DHSO. DHSO is registered in the British Virgin Islands and will operate an oil & gas services business based in Dubai using the technology licensed to it by Imdex Limited. Imdex Limited will account for its investment in DHSO as an associate per Australian Accounting Standard 128 “Investments in Associates” since it holds 50% of the issued capital but only 2 out of 5 Board positions. Imdex Limited therefore has significant influence over DHSO but does not control or jointly control DHSO. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the acquisition accounting is still being finalised.

Effective 1 July 2011 Imdex Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Australian Drilling Specialties Pty Ltd, a drilling fluids manufacturer based in Kwinana, Western Australia. The consideration of $12 million will be paid $6 million in cash and $6 million in Imdex shares valued at the 5 days volume weighted average price at completion. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impractical at this stage as the acquisition accounting is still being finalised.

On 25 July 2011 Imdex announced that it had entered into a conditional heads of agreement to purchase 100% of the issued share capital of System Mud Industria e Comercio Ltda (System Mud) effective 1 August 2011. System Mud is a manufacturer and seller of drilling muds in Brazil. Imdex will pay approximately $9.0 million as follows:

  • BRL 6.7 million (approximately $4.0 million) in cash at settlement; plus

  • $3.8 million by the issue of 1,600,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares at an issue price of $2.40 per share, to be escrowed for 12 months; plus

  • $1.2 million by the issue of 330,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares at an issue price of $3.50 per share. If the share price on the two year anniversary of the settlement date is below $3.50 an additional cash payment arises as the difference between the share price at that date and $3.50 multiplied by 330,000. In the event that the Imdex share price reaches $3.50 at any time within the two year period, the potential cash top up falls away.

Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the due diligence process is still underway.

Subsequent to year end the Directors declared a 2.75 cent per share fully franked dividend with an entitlement date of 7 October 2011 and a payment date of 21 October 2011. The effect of this dividend has not been reflected in this financial report.

(n) Future Developments

Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed in this report.

(o) Environmental Regulations

The only entity in the Group that is subject to environmental regulations is Samchem Drilling Fluids and Chemicals (Pty) Ltd. They are required to comply with the South African National Water Act, Act No 36 of 1998 which requires the management of effluent discharge. This is controlled through an effluent system. No known environmental breaches have occurred in relation to the Group’s operations.

(p) Non-audit services

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in note 6 to the Financial Report.

The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 6 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit and Compliance Committee, for the following reasons:

  • All non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor, and

  • None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

(q) Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration is included in the Annual Report immediately prior to the Audit Report.

(r) Indemnification of Officers and Auditors

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the Company, the Company Secretary, and all Executive Officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such a Director, Secretary or Executive Officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.

(s) Rounding Off of Amounts

The Company is a Company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the Directors’ report and the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors made pursuant to S.298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001.

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Imdex Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011, and the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity for the year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity, comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year as set out on pages 18 and 24 to 84.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 2, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s 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 of the financial report that gives a true and fair view, in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

ASX Governance Principles and ASX Recommendations

The Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council sets out best practice recommendations, including corporate governance practices and suggested disclosures. ASX Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires companies to disclose the extent to which they have complied with the ASX recommendations and to give reasons for not following them.

Unless otherwise indicated the best practice recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council, including corporate governance practices and suggested disclosures, have been adopted by the Company for the full year ended 30 June 2011. In addition, the Company has a Corporate Governance section on its website: www.imdexlimited.com (under the “Investors” heading) which includes the relevant documentation suggested by the ASX Recommendations.

The extent to which Imdex has complied with the ASX Recommendations during the year ended 30 June 2011, and the main corporate governance practices in place are set out below.

Principle 1: Lay solid foundation for management and oversight

The Board has implemented a Board Charter that formalises the functions and responsibilities of the Board. The Charter is published on the Company’s website.

The performance of Senior Executives is measured against prescribed criteria as set by the Remuneration Committee. These criteria are set annually and individual performance is assessed annually.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value

Imdex’s Board structure is consistent with the ASX Recommendations on Principle 2, with the exception that it does not have a separate nomination committee for the reasons detailed below.

(i) Board Structure

The Board consists of a Non Executive Chairman, three Non Executive Directors and one Executive Director. Of the five Board members, four are considered independent.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution the minimum number of Directors is three. There is no maximum number, although it would be expected that the optimal number of Directors would be five or six.

The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this Statement are set out in the Directors’ Report and further details concerning the skills, experience, expertise and term of office of each Director is set out in the Director’s Profiles in the first section of the Annual Report.

(ii) Board Independence

Directors are expected to bring independent judgement to the decision making of the Board. To facilitate this, each Director has the right to seek independent legal advice at the Group’s expense with the prior approval of the Chairman, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

In assessing Director independence, materiality has been determined from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective. An amount of over 5% of turnover is considered material. Similarly, a transaction of any amount, or a relationship, is deemed material if knowledge of it impacts, or may impact, the Shareholders’ understanding of the Director’s performance. The Board has conducted a review of each Director’s independence and reports as follows:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

(iii) Board Nomination

The Board does not have a separate nomination committee and, given the Company’s size, does not intend to form such a committee. However, the composition of the Board is determined using the following principles:

  • The Board should comprise a majority of independent, Non Executive Directors with a broad range of experience, skills and expertise;

  • The Chairman of the Board should be an independent, Non Executive Director; and

  • The roles of the Chairman and the Managing Director should not be exercised by the same individual.

(iv) Procedure for the selection and appointment of new Directors to the Board

The Company has published on its website, procedures for the selection and appointment of new Directors to the Board. The Company also has terms and conditions which govern the appointment of Non Executive Directors. These are subject to the Company’s Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001, and cover: appointment, retirement, Corporate Governance, remuneration, Board meetings, and Board Committees.

The Board does not impose on Directors an arbitrary time limit on their tenure. Under the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules however, each Director must retire by rotation within a three year period following their appointment. In such cases, the Director’s nomination for re-election should be based on performance and the needs of the Company.

(v) Process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual Directors

Board performance is measured primarily by means of monitoring Group profitability and share price performance in the market. Individual Director performance is also measured by way of monitoring meeting attendance and individual contributions made at these meetings.

Principle 3: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making

(i) Code of Conduct

The Company has developed a Code of Conduct that applies to all employees, officers and Directors of the Company. The Code addresses matters relevant to the Company’s legal and other obligations to its Shareholders and covers:

  • the way in which duties must be discharged;

  • compliance with laws;

  • conflicts of interest;

  • confidentiality;

  • insider trading;

  • the use of the Company’s resources and

  • the environment, health and safety.

The Code is published on the Company’s website.

(ii) Share Trading Policy

This policy imposes trading restrictions when dealing with Imdex securities, specifically limiting key management and employees of the Company or persons who have access to inside information relating directly or indirectly to the Company, from trading in the Company's securities. This policy aims to develop a culture of awareness of individual responsibilities under insider trading laws and is made available on the Company website.

Employees generally may freely trade in Imdex securities, however, they are reminded that insider trading restrictions apply to them.

Additional restrictions on dealing in the Company’s securities apply to those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, including Directors and any of their associates, where considered appropriate, executives reporting directly to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and any other employees of the Company considered appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary from time to time (Key Management Personnel). A list of all Key Management Personnel is maintained by the Company Secretary who ensures that all Key Management Personnel receive notification of this policy.

and its controlled entities

IMDEX LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Key Management Personnel cannot trade in the Company's securities without written approval. Certain types of dealings are however excluded from the policy.

Key Management Personnel must, on all occasions before dealing with the Company's securities, provide a written application to deal in the prescribed format. The Company Secretary will then refer the application to the Chairman of the Board.

The Board has the discretion to prohibit trading by any Key Management Personnel. In addition Key Management Personnel are prohibited from trading during:

  1. the period commencing from the end of the financial half (31 December) to the release of the Company's half year results to the ASX and ending 24 hours after such releases; and

  2. the period commencing from the end of the financial year (30 June) to the release of the Company's year end results to the ASX and ending 24 hours after such releases; and

  3. the period commencing two weeks prior to the Company's Annual General Meeting and ending 24 hours after the close of the Annual General Meeting,

An application may be made to sell (but not to purchase) securities, when this policy otherwise prohibits, on the grounds of exceptional circumstances approval for which can only be granted by the Board.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

(i) Statement by the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer

The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer have signed a declaration to the Board attesting to the fact that the 2011 Annual Financial Report presents a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Company’s financial condition and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

(ii) The Audit and Compliance Committee

The Audit and Compliance Committee consists of three independent Non Executive Directors and operates under a formal charter approved by the Board. The Charter is published on the Company’s website.

The Committee is chaired by an independent Chairperson who is not the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The role of the Committee is to advise on the establishment and maintenance of a framework of internal control, risk management protocols, appropriate ethical standards for the management of the Company and to approve the annual internal audit plan. It also gives the Board assurance regarding the quality and reliability of financial information prepared for use by the Board in determining policies for inclusion in Financial Statements.

The members of the Audit and Compliance Committee during the year and at the date of this Statement were:

Mr K A Dundo (Chairman); Mr R W Kelly; and Ms E Donaghey.

The experience and qualifications of each committee member is set out in the Directors’ Profiles in the first section of the Annual Report. The Company Secretary acts as secretary of this Committee.

The external auditors, the Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer are invited to Audit and Compliance Committee meetings at the discretion of the Committee. Details of meetings held by the Audit and Compliance Committee during the year are set out in the Directors’ Report.

(iii) External Auditors

The Board reviews the performance, skills, cost and other matters when assessing the appointment of external auditors. This review is generally undertaken at the completion of the preparation of the Annual Financial Report and involves discussions with the auditors and the Group's senior management. Information concerning the selection and appointment of external auditors is published on the Company’s website.

The external auditors are required to attend the Annual General Meeting of the Company and be available to answer questions from Shareholders.

(iv) Internal Audit

The Group has an internal audit function that reports directly to the Audit and Compliance Committee. The conduct and independence of the internal audit function are governed by the Internal Audit Charter which is approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee. The annual work plan of the internal audit function is approved annually by the Audit and Compliance Committee.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

1 Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

(a) New standards and interpretations adopted affecting amounts reported in the current (and/or prior periods)

No new or revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current period and have affected the amounts reported in these financial statements.

Standard or Interpretation Nature of Change
Amendments
to
AASB
7
‘Financial
Instruments: Disclosure’ (adopted in
advance of effective date of 1 January
2011)
The amendments (part of AASB 2010-4 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’) clarify the required level of
disclosures about credit risk and collateral held and provide relief from disclosures
previously required regarding renegotiated loans.
Amendments to AASB 5 ‘Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations’
Disclosures in these financial statements have been modified to reflect the clarification in
AASB 2009-5 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the
Annual Improvements Project’ that the disclosure requirements in Standards other than
AASB 5 do not generally apply to noncurrent assets classified as held for sale and
discontinued operations.
Amendments to AASB 101 ‘Presentation of
Financial Statements’ (adopted in advance
of effective date of 1 January 2011)
The amendments (part of AASB 2010-4 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’) clarify that an entity may choose
to present the required analysis of items of other comprehensive income either in the
statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.
Amendments to AASB 107 ‘Statement of
Cash Flows’
The amendments (part of AASB 2009-5 ‘Further Amendments to Australian Accounting
Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project’) specify that only expenditures
that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position can be classified as
investing activities in the statement of cash
flows. Consequently, cash flows in respect of development costs that do not meet the
criteria in AASB 138 ‘Intangible Assets’ for capitalisation as part of an internally generated
intangible asset (and, therefore, are recognised in profit or loss as incurred) have been
reclassified from investing to operating activities in the statement of cash flows.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

1 Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards (continued)

(b) Standards and Interpretations adopted with no effect on financial statements

The Company and the Group have adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to their operations and are effective for the current financial reporting period beginning 1 July 2010.

Standard or Interpretation Nature of Change
AASB 2009-5: Further Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising
from the Annual Improvements Process
AASB 2009-5_Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the_
_Annual Improvements Project_specify amendments resulting from the IASB’s annual
improvement project to various Australian accounting standards and interpretations. As
permitted, the group has early adopted most of the amendments in AASB 2009-5.
However, the amendments to AASB 117_Leases_have not been early adopted. Adoption of
these amendments will potentially result in the reclassification of several leases over land
as finance leases. The amendments, which apply retrospectively to unexpired leases from
1 July 2010, remove the guidance from AASB 117 which effectively prohibited the
classification of leases over land as finance leases. It is not practical to provide a
reasonable estimate of the impact of this amendment until a detailed review of existing
leases has been completed.
AASB 2009-8: Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Group Cash-settled
Share-based Payment Transactions AASB
2.
The application of AASB 2009-8 makes amendments to AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ to
clarify the scope of AASB 2, as well as the accounting for group cash-settled share-based
payment transactions in the separate (or individual) financial statements of an entity
receiving the goods or services when another group entity or shareholder has the
obligation to settle the award.
AASB 2009-10: Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Classification of
Rights Issues
The application of AASB 2009-10 makes amendments to AASB 132 ‘Financial
Instruments: Presentation’ to address the classification of certain rights issues
denominated in a foreign currency as either an equity instrument or as a financial liability.
To date, the Group has not entered into any arrangements that would fall within the scope
of the amendments.
AASB 2010-3: Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising from the
Annual Improvements Project
The application of AASB 2010-3 makes amendments to AASB 3(2008) ‘Business
Combinations’ to clarify that the measurement choice regarding non-controlling interests at
the date of acquisition is only available in respect of non controlling interests that are
present ownership interests and that entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
entity's net assets in the event of liquidation. All other types of non controlling interests are
measured at their acquisition-date fair value, unless another measurement basis is
required by other Standards.
In addition, the application of AASB 2010-3 makes amendments to AASB 3(2008) to give
more guidance regarding the accounting for share-based payment awards held by the
acquiree's employees. Specifically, the amendments specify that share-based payment
transactions of the acquiree that are not replaced should be measured in accordance with
AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date (‘market-based measure’).
AASB 2010-4 ‘Further Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards arising
from the Annual Improvements Project’
Except for the amendments to AASB 7 and AASB 101 described earlier this section, the
application of AASB 2010-4 has not had any material effect on amounts reported in the
financial statements.
Interpretation 19: Extinguishing Financial
Liabilities with Equity Instruments.
This Interpretation provides guidance regarding the accounting for the extinguishment of a
financial liability by the issue of equity instruments. In particular, the equity instruments
issued under such arrangements will be measured at their fair value, and any difference
between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the fair value of
equity instruments issued will be recognised in profit or loss. To date, the Group has not
entered into transactions of this nature.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and Accounting Standards and Interpretations and complies with other requirements of the law. Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘A-IFRS’). Compliance with the A-IFRS ensures that the consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

The financial report includes the separate financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 12 August 2011.

(a) 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 a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events is reported.

The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and presentation of the Financial Report:

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

(c) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

(ii) 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

(iii) 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.

(d) 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 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.

On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method most appropriate to each particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Plant and equipment, leasehold improvements and equipment under finance lease 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 calculated on a straight line basis in order to write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life to its estimated residual value. Leasehold improvements and assets held under finance lease are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is the shorter, using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes recognised on a prospective basis.

The gain or loss arising on disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

The annual depreciation rates used for each class of assets are as follows:

Plant and equipment: 10% to 50%
Equipment rented to third parties: 10% to 50%
Equipment under finance lease: 10% to 50%

Capital works in progress in the course of construction for production or supply purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property, plant and equipment assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

(g) Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based payments with employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument at the grant date. Fair value is measured by the use of the Black-Scholes Model, Binomial Tree Method and Monte-Carlo Simulation as appropriate. 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 over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of shares that will eventually vest.

At each reporting date, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss over the remaining vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to the employee equity-settled benefits reserve.

(h) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) (referred to as ‘the Group’ in these financial statements). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement 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 REPORT

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) 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.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

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.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year.

(j) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(k) Foreign currency

The individual financial statements of each group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of Imdex Limited, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, 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 sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet 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 on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned or likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Group’s translation reserve. Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity on or after the date of transition to A-IFRS are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date. Goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of transition to A-IFRS is treated as an Australian dollar denominated asset.

(l) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk. This risk is primarily managed through the use of an interest rate cap. Further details of derivative financial instruments are disclosed in the financial instruments note in 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 the profit or loss immediately. The Group has not designated any financial instruments as being hedge accounted.

(i) 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 host contracts and the host contracts are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

(m) Financial assets

All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset 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.

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, ‘held-tomaturity’ investments, ‘available-for-sale’ 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.

(i) 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 those financial assets ‘at fair value through profit or loss’.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(m) Financial assets (continued)

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Bills of exchange and debentures with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates where the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis.

(iii) 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:

  • Has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future;

  • 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

  • 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 profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale assets are stated at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest rate method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets which are recognised directly in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in the investments revaluation reserve is included in profit or loss for the period. The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets held in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at reporting date. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that results from a change in amortised cost of the asset is recognised in profit or loss, and other changes are recognised in equity. Available-for-sale financial assets include investments where shareholding is greater than 20% but significant influence is not exerted over the invested company.

(v) 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 rate method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.

(vi) 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 sheet 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. 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 value of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables where the carrying value 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.

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale instruments, any subsequent increase in fair value after an impairment loss is recognised directly in equity.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(m) Financial assets (continued)

  • (vi) 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 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 amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risk 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.

(n) Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group

  • (i) 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. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities.

  • (iii) 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 through profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.

A financial liability is held for trading if:

  • it has been incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near future; or

  • it 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

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading is designated as ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ upon initial recognition if:

  • such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally or on that basis; or

  • it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and AASB139 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as ‘at fair value through profit or loss’.

  • (iv) 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 rate method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

(o) Intangible assets

(i) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

All 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 value can be measured reliably. Identifiable intangible assets comprise intellectual property, technology, contracts, customers, development costs and trade marks. These are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period.

Estimated useful lives are as follows:

ul lives are as follows:
Intellectual property 10 years
Technology 5-7 years
Contracts 1-5 years (term of contract)
Customers 5-6 years
Trade Names and Patents 1-6 years

Each period, the useful life of this asset is reviewed to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life assessment for the asset. Such assets are tested for impairment in accordance with the policy stated in note 2(t).

(ii) Research and development costs

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised as an expense in the period as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalised development costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment, and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life of between 3 and 5 years, commencing on commercialisation of the underlying projects.

(p) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

(i) Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company and the Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(p) Taxation (continued)

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company and the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company and the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(iv) Current and deferred tax for the period

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

(v) Tax consolidation

The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. Imdex Limited is the head entity in the tax-consolidated group. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences in the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each 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 of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group). Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by the Company and each member of the group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the taxconsolidated group in accordance with the arrangement. Further information about the tax funding arrangement is detailed in note 5 to the financial statements. Where the tax contribution amount recognised by each member of the tax-consolidated group for a particular period is different to the aggregate of the current tax liability or asset and any deferred tax asset arising from unused tax losses and tax credit in respect of that period, the difference is recognised as a contribution from (or distribution to) equity participants.

(q) Leased assets

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

(i) Group as Lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(ii) Group as Lessee Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised at their fair value or, if lower, at amounts equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

(iii) Lease incentives 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.

  • (r) Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

  • (i) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownerships of the goods;

  • the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

  • (ii) Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract.

  • (iii) Royalties

Royalty revenue is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement.

  • (iv) Dividend and interest revenue

Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the shareholders right to receive payment has been established. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principle 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.

(v) Operating lease income

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(s) Employee benefits

(i) Provisions

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, long service leave, and sick leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as 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) Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed when incurred.

(t) Impairment of other tangible and intangible assets (other than 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 to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cashgenerating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment 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 pre-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 cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) 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 (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

(u) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of a past event, 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.

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 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 recovery will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

3 Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, 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 circumstance, 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.

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

Management have not made any significant critical judgements in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

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 Goodwill and Intangibles

Determining whether goodwill and intangibles are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill and intangibles are attributable. 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. A forward looking estimation of this nature is inherently uncertain. Details of the key assumptions made are contained in note 12 (Goodwill) and note 13 (Intangibles). No impairment losses were booked in the current year. Impairment losses booked in the prior year are detailed in notes 12 and 13.

Recognition of net deferred tax asset

A net deferred tax asset of $16.0 million has been recognised on the face of the balance sheet. The largest component of this asset is the future tax benefit of depreciation of unrealised profits in self manufactured property, plant and equipment items. This tax benefit will be realised progressively over the next 3-5 years as these assets are depreciated. This net asset has been raised as it is considered more likely than not that it will be realised. In making this assessment of likelihood a forward looking estimation of cash flows and the likelihood of business success needs to be made up to 5 years into the future. A forward looking estimation of this nature over 5 years is inherently uncertain. Details of deferred tax balances are contained in note 5.

Fair value of options and performance rights

Options and performance rights as detailed in notes 32 and 33 are inherently complex to value due to their nature and relationship to the share market and its uncertainties. The Imdex Group therefore engaged valuation professionals to perform a valuation. The models used by the valuation professionals, although they are industry standard models, are subject to limitations and uncertainties.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

5 Income Taxes (continued)

Tax Consolidation

Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group

Legislation to allow groups, comprising a parent entity and its Australian resident wholly-owned entities, to elect to consolidate and be treated as a single entity for income tax purposes was substantively enacted on 21 October 2002. The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are eligible to consolidate for tax purposes under this legislation and have elected to be taxed as a single entity from 1 July 2003. The head entity in the tax consolidated group for the purposes of the tax consolidation system is Imdex Limited.

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding and a tax-sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of this agreement, Imdex Limited and each of the entities in the tax consolidated group has agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the net accounting profit or loss of the entity and the current tax rate. Such amounts are reflected in amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group.

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax consolidated group provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations or if an entity should leave the tax consolidated group. The effect of the tax sharing agreement is that each member's liability for tax payable by the tax consolidated group is limited to the amount payable by the head entity under the tax funding arrangement.

The amount of contribution or distribution relating to tax consolidation in the current and prior year amounted to nil.

(i) The average credit period on sales of goods is around 60 days. Trade receivables are interest free. An allowance has been made for estimated irrecoverable amounts from the sale of goods and services, determined by reference to past default experience and specific knowledge of individual debtors circumstances.

All impaired debtors are in excess of 90 days overdue.

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 concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. Accordingly, the directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

(i) Comprises 251,908,446 fully paid ordinary shares in Sino Gas and Energy Holdings Pty Ltd (SEH) held at fair value (2010: 251,908,446 shares). This amounts to 25.96% of the issued share capital of SEH (2010: 26.95%). 243,448,446 of these shares are subject to escrow until 15 September 2011. The shareholding percentage dropped in the current year due to additional shares being issued by SEH to third parties.

Despite holding more than 20% of the issued share capital of SEH, the Company does not have significant influence over SEH in the current or prior periods due to its limited Board representation and minimal involvement in strategic planning and day to day management. The shareholding in excess of 20% is a consequence of partially sub-underwriting SEH’s recent capital raising in June 2010. The partial sub-underwriting was undertaken to facilitate the Company’s exit from the SEH convertible note that had been issued by SEH to Imdex Limited in a prior year. As the Company’s intention remains to realise the value of the investment through sale, subject to escrow arrangements, this investment has been classified, as an available-for-sale non-current asset and carried at fair value.

During the prior year SEH undertook a capital raising which was partially sub-underwritten by Imdex Limited. There was a shortfall on the capital raising and Imdex Limited was called upon to subscribe for 220,470,096 shares at $0.033 per share. As part of this capital raising, Imdex also received for no consideration 96,263,092 SEH options exercisable at $0.125 each before 31 December 2012. These options have been valued at nil.

At 21 June 2010 Imdex held a convertible loan note of $13.2 million with SEH. On 21 June 2010 capitalised interest of $1.8 million was converted into fully paid SEH ordinary shares at $0.20 per share. On 28 June 2010 $7.3 million was converted into 220,470,096 fully paid SEH ordinary shares as part of the sub-underwriting agreement described above and the balance of $4.1 million was repaid.

The impairment adjustment of $10.4 million arose on the write down of SEH shares to their market value per the Australian Stock Exchange of $0.027 per share at 30 June 2010.

In the current year the carrying value of this investment was written up to its market value of $0.064 per share or $16.1 million in total at 30 June 2011.

(ii) Loans to Subsidiaries are repayable on demand and carry interest at market related rates. These loans are classified as non-current as there is no intention for them to be repaid in the next 12 months.

(i) Goodwill arose in the current year on the acquisition of Fluidstar Pty Ltd (Fluidstar) and Ecospin Pty Ltd (Ecospin) by Imdex Limited effective 1 September 2010 (Refer note 26(a)). Fluidstar and Ecospin were purchased simultaneously from the same vendor in a single deal. Effective 1 January 2011, the businesses of Fluidstar and Ecospin were transferred into Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd (AMC), an existing legal entity and separate cash generating unit. This transfer occurred to gain synergies since these businesses are similar in nature and have similar customers and end markets. The goodwill of Fluidstar and Ecospin has therefore been absorbed into the AMC CGU and has been assessed for impairment as part of the AMC CGU.

(ii) Goodwill arose in the current year on the acquisition of AMC Germany GmbH (formerly Mud-Data GmbH) (AMC Germany) by Imdex Limited effective 1 March 2011 (Refer note 26(b)). AMC Germany is considered to be a separate cash generating unit since it operates independently from other Imdex operations in a separate geographical area being the greater European region and in a separate market, being the oil & gas and geothermal markets.

At 31 December 2009 it was recognised that the major mining regions had been hit hard by the global financial crisis and were slow to recover. In particular this was true for the mining regions of Africa, Canada and Latin America. This caused the financial performance of all cash-generating units to fall below expected levels at this time which was the trigger for performing impairment reviews of the Drilling Fluids and Chemicals businesses (Samchem, Wildcat, Suay, AMC North America and AMC Chile). In addition Imdex took the opportunity to restructure these businesses along regional lines and re-branding all entities to the “AMC” brand. Wildcat and Suay are both Oil & Gas Segment businesses while Samchem, AMC North America and AMC Chile are Minerals Segment businesses.

The lower performance and technical difficulties experienced in commercialising the oil and gas down hole instrumentation tool suite and penetrating that market was the trigger for the impairment adjustment at 31 December 2009 within the Down Hole Instrumentation businesses (Flexit and Imdex Technology Germany). Both these businesses are Oil & Gas Segment businesses.

The recoverable amount of goodwill was determined based on a value in use calculation which uses a 5 year discounted cash flow projection based on the 2011 forecast plus a terminal value. Future cash flows were discounted to present values using region specific, real, pre-tax discount rates per the table below. Management believe that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

12 Goodwill (continued)

There has been no change in the identification of cash-generating units or the aggregation thereof when compared to the prior period. The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations for the various significant cash generating units (CGU’s) are as follows:

CGU Forecasted revenue growth Discount
Rate
Forecasted net margins Expected exchange rate
fluctuations
AMC
(including
Fluidstar and
Ecospin)
Revenue growth has been forecast in
line with the expected rate of growth in
the mining and mineral exploration
markets in Australia as driven by strong
commodity prices and ongoing strong
demand
from
Chinese
and
other
emergingmarkets.
15.16% Net margins have been
forecasted using current
period actuals as a base
on
which
operational
improvements
and
economies of scale are
expected to be gained,
particularly
from
the
introduction
of
a
regionalised
reporting
structure
and
improved/expanded
product offerings.
Exchange rate fluctuation
expectations have been
built into the forecasted
numbers based on FY12
forecasted exchange rates
published by major local
and international lending
institutions. Discounted
cash flow outcomes using
these rates are not
materially different from
having used current spot
rates.
Wildcat Revenue growth has been forecast in
line with the expected activity levels of
local and international oil and gas
industries serviced by Wildcat and
potential new opportunities expected to
arise with the ongoing expansion of the
broader Imdex Group.
12.89%
Suay Revenue growth has been forecast in
line with the expected rate of growth in
the oil and gas industry in Kazakhstan
and the broader Caspian Sea region.
This has been overlaid with risk
adjusted additional revenues expected
to be gained by the winning of new
contracts and tenders.
24.40%
AMC Chile Revenue growth has been forecast in
line with the expected rate of growth in
the mining and mineral exploration
markets of South and Latin America as
well as growth expected to arise from
the
global
alliances
and
recent
managerial changes.
12.44%
Reflex /
Imdex
Technology
Revenue growth has been forecast in
line with the expected rate of growth in
the mining and mineral exploration
markets in Australia and the broader
Asia Pacific Region as driven by strong
commodity prices and ongoing strong
demand
from
Chinese
and
other
emergingmarkets.
12.60%
Flexit / Imdex
Technology
Germany
Income
from
the
services
based
associate will be accounted for at the
net margin level. Net margins have
been
forecast
by
the
associated
company’s management taking into
account local market conditions and
expected strategic growth plans.
7.02% Returns from the joint
venture are based on the
expected rate of cash
flows as projected by joint
venture
management.
These are a function of
activity levels and market
share expected in the
Middle Eastern oil & gas
surveymarket.
Samchem
(prior year
impairment
review only)
Revenue growth has been forecast in
line with the expected rate of recovery
of the mining and mineral exploration
industry in South Africa and the other
African regions serviced by Samchem.
25.25% (30
June 2010)
Net margins have been
forecasted using current
period actuals as a base
on which operational
improvements and
economies of scale are
expected to be gained,
particularly from the
introduction of a
regionalised reporting
structure.
Exchange rate fluctuation
expectations have been
built into the forecasted
numbers based on FY11
forecasted exchange rates
published by major local
and international lending
institutions. Discounted
cash flow outcomes using
these rates are not
materially different from
having used current spot
rates.

(i) Commercial bills bear interest at a floating interest rate. Current weighted average interest rate is 7.46% per annum. Bills totaling $3.1 million are repayable on demand. Bills totaling $14.25 million are repayable on 30 September 2011 and the balance of bills totaling $8.5 million are repayable in 11 instalments of $0.75 million each due at the end of each calendar quarter and one final instalment of $0.25 million on 30 June 2014. The bills are secured by a Mortgage Debenture over all the assets and liabilities of Imdex Limited, Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd, Reflex Asia Pacific Pty Ltd, Imdex International Pty Ltd, Wildcat Chemicals Australia Pty Ltd, Flexit Australia Pty Ltd, Fluidstar Pty Ltd, Ecospin Pty Ltd, Imdex Technology Australia Pty Ltd, Imdex Sweden AB, Imdex Technology Sweden AB, Reflex Instruments AB, Samchem Drilling Fluids and Chemicals (Pty) Ltd, Drillhole Surveying Instruments (Pty) Ltd, AMC North America Ltd and Reflex Instruments North America Ltd.

(ii) Comprises a loan of SEK 6.6 million which bears interest at the 7 day Stockholm Interbank Offered Rate ('STIBOR'), currently 2.15% plus a margin of 3.5% per annum. The loan is repayable in quarterly instalments of SEK 1.65 million each with the next installment due on 30 September 2011. This loan is secured over the assets of the Reflex and Flexit companies that are domiciled in Sweden.

(iii) Comprises a loan of CAD 7.1 million at a floating interest rate, currently 4.5%. This loan is repayable in one instalment of CAD 0.4 million on 1 September 2011 as well as 41 monthly instalments of CAD 0.14 million each commencing on 1 July 2011, followed by 11 monthly instalments of CAD 0.08 million each. The loan is disclosed as a current liability since the bank retains the option to have these loans repaid on demand. No such demand has been made at the date of signing this report and the Directors do not expect such a demand to be made in the foreseeable future.

(iv) Hire purchase liabilities are secured over the assets to which they relate, the carrying value of which exceeds the value of the hire purchase liability. The Group does not hold title to the equipment under the hire purchase pledged as security. The weighted average interest rate applicable to these liabilities is 9.53% (2010: 9.38%).

Changes to the Corporations Law abolished the authorised capital and par value concept in relation to share capital from 1 July 1998. Therefore, the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital and issued shares do not have a par value.

(ii) Share options granted under the staff option plan

No options were granted under the staff option plan in the current or prior year.

In accordance with the provisions of the staff option plan, as at 30 June 2011, executives, directors and staff have options over 8,518,158 ordinary shares (all of which had vested), in aggregate. These options expire over a range of dates up to March 2013. As at 30 June 2010, executives, directors and staff have options over 13,436,864 ordinary shares (11,814,088 of which had vested), in aggregate. These options expire over a range of dates up to March 2013. Share options granted under the employee share option plan carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights.

Details of the Staff Option Plan can be found in note 32.

(iii) Shares issued in satisfaction of Performance Rights

No shares were issued in the current or prior years in satisfaction of performance rights. Performance rights obligations were settled by the purchase of existing shares on market. More information on the performance rights plan can be found in note 33.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

26 Acquisition of Businesses

(a) Acquisition of entity - Fluidstar Pty Ltd and Ecospin Pty Ltd

With effect from 1 September 2010, Imdex Limited, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Fluidstar Pty Ltd (Fluidstar) and Ecospin Pty Ltd (Ecospin). Both companies are incorporated in Australia and operate out of premises located in Brisbane. Fluidstar manufactures and distributes drilling fluids throughout the Asia Pacific region with a strong presence in the Queensland market. Ecospin develops and sell solids control solutions for the drilling industry. Both companies focus predominately on the mineral drilling industry. The provisional numbers presented below have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

(i) Provisional acquisition numbers were presented in the 31 December 2010 half year financial report released to the ASX on 21 February 2011. These provisional numbers included $1.1 million attributed to the mud separation technology contained within the Ecospin business. Upon further investigation it was determined that this intangible asset could not be separately identified and reliably measured apart from goodwill. This amount and the related deferred tax balance shown in the 31 December 2010 half year financial report has therefore been reclassified to goodwill.

(ii) Goodwill arose in the business combination because the cost of the combination included a control premium paid to acquire Fluidstar and Ecospin. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of Fluidstar and Ecospin. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill as the future economic benefits arising from them cannot be reliably measured. There were no acquisition provisions created, nor were there any contingent liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

(iii) The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 30 June 2011 records the payment for the acquisition of Fluidstar and Ecospin as $12.2 million being the total purchase consideration of $12.2 million shown above plus $0.2 million of on-costs expensed during the period and less $0.2 million of cash acquired.

(iv) Fluidstar and Ecospin traded as independent entities from the date of their acquisition (1 September 2011) to 31 December 2011 after which they ceased trading in their own rights and their businesses were transfered into Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd. The results presented above represent trading for this four month period only. Had the acquisition of Fluidstar and Ecospin been effected on 1 July 2010, the beginning of the current financial year, the Fluidstar and Ecospin financial results included in the Imdex consolidated results would have been revenue of approximately $18.8 million and profit after tax of approximately $2.3 million. The results of Fluidstar and Ecospin are included in the Minerals segment. The Board considers these 'pro-forma' numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

(b) Acquisition of entity - AMC Germany GmbH (formerly Mud-Data GmbH)

With effect from 1 March 2011, Imdex Limited, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Mud-Data GmbH, a company incorporated in Germany and operating out of premises in Rastede. This entity was subsequently renamed AMC Germany GmbH (AMC Germany). AMC Germany own 100% of the issued share capital of Mud-Data-Rom SRL, an entity incorporated in Romania. AMC Germany manufactures and distributes drilling fluids and solids control equipment for the oil & gas and geothermal industries in Europe. The numbers presented below are provisional and have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

(i) Intangibles assets of $3.9 million comprise the fair value of a key geothermal contract. AMC Germany is currently negotiating this contract and it is expected that work will commence in financial year 2012. Additional deferred consideration comprising cash and share payments will be made to the vendors over the next 5 years depending on the level of financial performance of this contract. (details in (iii) below) The discounted present value of these expected payments have been used to determine the fair value of this intangible asset. This intangible asset is being amortised over its expected useful life of 5 years. Deferred tax of $1.2 million was raised on this asset.

(ii) Goodwill arose in the business combination because the cost of the combination included a control premium paid to acquire AMC Germany. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce of AMC Germany. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill as the future economic benefits arising from them cannot be reliably measured. There were no acquisition provisions created, nor were there any contingent liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

(iii) Additional cash and share payments become payable to the vendors in future periods, the discounted value of which is presented above. Additional consideration becomes payable as follows:

  • cash payment of € 1.2 million plus € 1.0 million in fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares should drilling commence on a key geothermal contract before 1 April 2016 or a minimum of €2.0 million be received in cash from this client for the purchase of mud systems; and

  • cash of € 0.15 million per complete set of four wells drilled on the key geothermal contract; and

  • cash amounting to 1.065% of the revenue generated by the key geothermal contract for calendar years 2011 to 2015 paid quarterly.

(iv) The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 30 June 2011 records the payment for the acquisition of AMC Germany as $2.1 million being the cash consideration above of $1.6 million above plus $0.6 million of on-costs expensed in the current year and less $0.1 million of cash acquired .

(v) Had the acquisition of AMC Germany been effected on 1 July 2010, the beginning of the current year, the AMC Germany financial results included in the Imdex consolidated results would have been revenue of approximately $3.4 million with breakeven profit. The results of AMC Germany are included in the Oil & Gas segment. The Board considers these 'pro-forma' numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.

27 Segment Information

Adoption of AASB 8 Operating Segments

The Group has adopted AASB 8 Operating Segments with effect from 1 July 2009. AASB 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance. In contrast, the predecessor Standard (AASB 114 Segment Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments (business and geographical), using a risks and returns approach, with the entity’s ‘system of internal financial reporting to key management personnel’ serving only as the starting point for the identification of such segments. As a result, following the adoption of AASB 8, the identification of the Group’s reportable segments has not changed.

In prior years segment information reported externally was analysed on the basis of product (ie Drilling Fluids and Chemicals or Down Hole Instrumentation). Effective 1 July 2010 changed internal reporting structures came into effect that changed the way information was reported to the chief operating decision maker. Information is now presented along market lines with the Imdex Group reporting financial results and making decisions to allocate resources made with reference to the Minerals market and the Oil & Gas market.

Reportable Segments

Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items mainly comprise income earning assets and interest revenue, interest bearing loans, borrowings and expenses, and corporate assets and expenses. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period.

The Group comprises the following reportable segments which are based on the Group's internal management reporting system:

(i) Minerals Division: This segment comprises the manufacture, sale and rental of down hole instrumentation and manufacture and sale of drilling fluids and chemicals to the mining and mineral exploration industry globally; and

(ii) Oil & Gas Division: This segment comprises the manufacture, sale and rental of down hole instrumentation and manufacture and sale of drilling fluids and chemicals to the oil & gas and geothermal industries globally;

(a) Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in note 15, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings as disclosed in notes 18 and 19. Management and the Board review the capital structure regularly. The treasury function present regular updates to the Board. As a part of these reviews management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on the outcome of these reviews the Group will balance its overall capital structure through payment of dividends and issue of new shares as well as the issue of new debt or repayment of existing debt. The Board does not have a specific optimum gearing target other than to maintain a competitive weighted average cost of capital.

The Group’s overall capital management strategy remains unchanged from prior years.

The gearing ratio at the end of the reporting period was as follows:

Debt (i)
Cash and bank balances
Net debt
Equity (ii)
Net debt divided by debt plus equity

(d) Financial risk management objectives

The Group’s treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

The Group seeks to minimise the effects of these risks by using natural hedges where possible and derivative financial instruments to hedge remaining risk exposures where the benefit of the hedge outweighs the cost. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s treasury policies which are approved by the Board of Directors. These policies describe the Group’s policies with respect to foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. There are no derivative instruments in operation at year end.

(e) Market risk

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (note (f) below) and interest rates (note (g) below). The Group monitors its exposure to these risks on a regular basis and enters into derivative financial instruments to manage these risks where appropriate. There are no derivative financial instruments in operation at year end. At a Group and at a company level market risk exposures are measured by sensitivity analyses and scenario modelling.

There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

(f) Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence exposures to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed with the use of natural hedges where possible and with the use of financial instruments where benefit outweighs cost within approved policy parameters. During the current and prior year no financial instruments were used to manage foreign exchange risk.

The carrying amount in Australian dollars of the Group’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Australian dollars at the reporting date are as per the table below. Non Australian dollar liabilities include trade creditors, accruals and borrowings recorded in Australian as well as non-Australian entities. Non Australian dollar assets include cash on hand and debtors recorded in Australian as well as non-Australian entities. Any fluctuation in exchange rates relative to the Australian dollar will cause the below assets and liabilities to change in value.

(f) Foreign currency risk management (continued)

Foreign currency sensitivity

The Group is mainly exposed to United States Dollars, Canadian Dollars, European Dollars and South African Rand.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% (2010: 5%) increase and decrease in the Australian Dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate of 10% (2010: 5%) is the rate used when performing regular reporting on foreign currency risk internally. Foreign exchange risk is reported regularly to key management personnel and the Board. The estimated movement of 10% (2010: 5%) represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign currency exchange rates which is based on regular forecasts received from major lending institutions. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjust their translation at the period end for a 10% (2010: 5%) change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower. A positive number indicates an increase in profit or loss and other equity where the Australian Dollar strengthens against the respective currency. For a weakening of the Australian Dollar against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and the balances below would carry the opposite sign.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

30 Financial Instruments (continued)

(g) Interest rate risk management

The Company and the Group are exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at floating interest rates. Interest rate risk is managed within defined treasury policy guidelines. This is achieved by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings and by the use of an interest rate cap to limit the maximum exposure to interest rate rises on part of Group debt.

The Company and the Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note.

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity data below is presented based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the reporting date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible changes in interest rates based on consultation with appropriately qualified financial professionals.

Group sensitivity

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s net profit would decrease by $0.3 million (2010: $0.3 million). There would be a nil impact on equity other than via profit. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, holding all other variables constant would yield an increase in the Group’s net profit of $0.3 million (2010: $0.3 million). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

Company sensitivity

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s net profit would decrease by $0.3 million (2010: $0.2 million). There would be a nil impact on equity other than via profit. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, holding all other variables constant would yield an increase in the Company’s net profit of $0.3 million (2010: $0.2 million). This is mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

Interest rate cap

On 1 January 2008 the Company entered into an interest rate cap arrangement for a 3 year period. This interest rate cap, costing $0.2 million, enabled the Company to limit the maximum exposure to interest rate movements on $10 million of its debt to 7% per annum. This interest rate cap expired on 31 December 2010. At 30 June 2010 this interest rate cap had a fair value of nil. This fair value was determined by seeking market valuations at year end for an interest rate cap with identical terms that terminates on 31 December 2010.

(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 adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are monitored on a weekly basis and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed regularly by management.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties having similar characteristics. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowances for losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of the value of collateral obtained. At 30 June 2011 no such collateral had been obtained. (30 June 2010 : nil)

(i) Liquidity risk management

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who monitor short, medium and long term liquidity requirements through the use of financial models. The treasury function reports regularly to key management personnel and the Board on matters affecting liquidity risk. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Included in note 29(d) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Company/Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

Liquidity and interest risk tables

The following tables detail the Company’s and the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non–derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up 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 adjustment column represents the possible future cash flows attributable to the instrument included in the maturity analysis which are not included in the carrying amount of the financial liability on the balance sheet.

(j) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative financial instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using pricing models based on observable current market transactions; and

  • the fair value of derivative financial instruments are calculated using quoted market prices

The financial statements include holdings in ‘available for sale’ listed shares which are measured at fair value (note 9).

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximates their fair values.

30 Financial Instruments (continued)

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

  • Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

32 Staff Option Scheme

(a) Share Based Payment Arrangements

Staff Option Plan

The Group has in place a Staff Option Scheme (Scheme) to reward employees (including Key Management Personnel) for their past services as well as to provide an incentive for future efforts. The terms and conditions of the Scheme are set out in the Scheme Rules with the Board of Directors responsible for the administration of the Scheme. The options carry no rights to dividends and no voting rights. The options expire on their expiry date. Each employee share option converts to one ordinary share of Imdex Limited on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry. The number of options granted to staff is generally based on an assessment of the performance of that staff member as determined by the Board of Directors. Staff are normally only eligible to receive options when they have been with the Company in excess of 6-12 months. Options expire when the option holder ceases to be employed by the Group.

33 Performance Rights Plan

(a) Performance Rights Plan

At the Imdex Limited Annual General Meeting on 15 October 2009 the shareholders approved the formation of a Performance Rights Plan (PRP or Plan). The Plan allows for the issue of performance rights to employees from time to time. The quantum of performance rights granted to employees is at the discretion of the Directors and is generally based on seniority and level of contribution to the strategic goals of Imdex Limited. A performance right is the right to receive one fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary share for nil consideration should set hurdles be achieved and tenure of employment be maintained. The hurdles are set by the Directors when performance rights are issued and are generally linked to the achievement of financial or other strategic goals of Imdex Limited. If hurdles are achieved generally shares will be issued evenly over the 3 year period assuming continuity of employment.

Page 82 of 86

IMDEX LIMITED and its controlled entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

33 Performance Rights Plan (continued)

(b) Performance rights Granted in the current year

Staff Performance Rights

2,630,029 performance rights were granted to employees during the current year in 3 tranches (Tranches 2, 3 and 4 in the table below). Since their granting 157,657 of these performance rights have expired by virtue of staff leaving the employment of the Imdex Group. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares will be issued in satisfaction of each performance right should specified targets be met. Targets are typically a mixture of earnings per share, total shareholder return, EBITA or other profitability hurdle combined with the requirement for ongoing employment tenure. Targets are tailored to each employee with due regard to the business unit they work in. No shares will be issued where targets are not met. Measurement against targets will only be possible once the FY11 independent audit report is signed in August 2011. Shares issued in satisfaction of performance rights will occur annually in 1/3 lots, with the first 1/3 lot being issued after the FY11 independent audit report is signed.

For the purposes of the FY11 financial statements, the Directors have made an estimate of the likelihood of the achievement of FY11 targets and hence the number of fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares that are likely to be issued. An adjustment will be made in the next financial year should the actual number of shares issued be different from those estimated. It is estimated that out of the 2,472,372 remaining performance rights, all will meet the required performance hurdles and will result in 2,472,372 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares being issued over three years should employment tenure be retained.

The weighted average fair value of a performance right at grant date was $1.50 per right. The expected total cost of the estimated 2,472,372 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued in Imdex Limited will therefore be $3.7 million. This value will be expensed over the vesting period from July 2010 to August 2013, with $2.0 million expensed in the current year.

Managing Director’s Performance Rights

196,579 performance rights were granted to the Managing Director on 14 October 2010 following approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares will be issued in satisfaction of each performance right should the specified earnings per share and total shareholder return targets be met over the 3 year measurement period from FY11 to FY13. The Managing Director is subject to two hurdles each with equal weighting. The first is that the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of Imdex Limited must exceed the average TSR of the ASX300 over the 3 year measurement period. The second is that the Earnings Per Share of Imdex Limited must exceed the average EPS of the ASX300 over the 3 year measurement period.

Measurement against targets will only be possible once the FY13 independent audit report is signed in August 2013.

For the purposes of the FY11 financial statements, the Directors have made an estimate of the likelihood of the achievement of the specified targets and hence the number of fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares that are likely to be issued. Due to the hurdle being market related, adjustment will not be made in future periods should the actual number of shares issued be different from those estimated. It is estimated that out of the 196,579 performance rights issued, all will meet the required performance hurdles and will result in 196,579 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares being issued on or about August 2013 should employment tenure be retained.

The fair value of a performance right at grant date was $1.14 per right. The expected total cost of the estimated 196,579 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued in Imdex Limited will therefore be $0.2 million. This value will be expensed over the vesting period from October 2010 to August 2013, with $0.1 million expensed in the current year.

(c) Performance rights Granted in the prior year

2,262,366 performance rights were granted to employees during the prior year. Included in this total were 234,375 performance rights granted to the Managing Director. The issue to the Managing Director was approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 14 October 2009. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary share was to be issued in satisfaction of each performance right for specified FY10 EBITA targets met. FY10 EBITA targets were required to be met by each individual with due regard to the company and business unit they work in. No shares were issued where targets were not met. Shares issued in satisfaction of performance rights will occur annually in 1/3 lots, with the first 1/3 lot being issued after the FY10 independent audit report is signed.

Of the 2,262,366 performance rights issued, 458,779 met the required performance hurdles and will result in 458,779 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares being issued over three years should employment tenure be retained. Adjustments are made each year to the number of performance rights outstanding to reflect where employment tenure has not been maintained.

The fair value of a performance right at grant date was $0.685 per share. The expected total cost of the estimated 458,779 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued in Imdex Limited will therefore be $0.3 million. This value will be expensed over the vesting period from February 2010 to August 2012, with $0.1 million expensed in the prior year.

34 Subsequent Events

Effective 1 July 2011 Imdex Limited was allotted fully paid ordinary shares in DHS Oil Services Limited (DHSO) in exchange for the granting of an exclusive global technology license to use its oil & gas surveying instruments and technology. Following this allotment Imdex Limited holds 50% of the issued share capital of DHSO. DHSO is registered in the British Virgin Islands and will operate an oil & gas services business based in Dubai using the technology licensed to it by Imdex Limited. Imdex Limited will account for its investment in DHSO as an associate per Australian Accounting Standard 128 “Investments in Associates” since it holds 50% of the issued capital but only 2 out of 5 Board positions. Imdex Limited therefore has significant influence over DHSO but does not control or jointly control DHSO. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the acquisition accounting is still being finalised.

Effective 1 July 2011 Imdex Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Australian Drilling Specialties Pty Ltd, a drilling fluids manufacturer based in Kwinana, Western Australia. The consideration of $12 million will be paid $6 million in cash and $6 million in Imdex shares valued at the 5 days volume weighted average price at completion. Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impractical at this stage as the acquisition accounting is still being finalised.

On 25 July 2011 Imdex announced that it had entered into a conditional heads of agreement to purchase 100% of the issued share capital of System Mud Industria e Comercio Ltda (System Mud) effective 1 August 2011. System Mud is a manufacturer and seller of drilling muds in Brazil. Imdex will pay approximately $9.0 million as follows:

  • BRL 6.7 million (approximately $4.0 million) in cash at settlement; plus

  • $3.8 million by the issue of 1,600,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares at an issue price of $2.40 per share, to be escrowed for 12 months; plus

  • $1.2 million by the issue of 330,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares at an issue price of $3.50 per share. If the share price on the two year anniversary of the settlement date is below $3.50 an additional cash payment arises as the difference between the share price at that date and $3.50 multiplied by 330,000. In the event that the Imdex share price reaches $3.50 at any time within the two year period, the potential cash top up falls away.

Additional disclosures with respect to this acquisition are impracticable at this stage as the due diligence process is still underway.

Subsequent to year end the Directors declared a 2.75 cent per share fully franked dividend with an entitlement date of 7 October 2011 and a payment date of 21 October 2011. The effect of this dividend has not been reflected in this financial report.
