DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(f) Remuneration Report (audited)

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 $434,138, 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 up to 35% 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 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 performance rights is linked to the Company’s performance. The number of performance rights granted is determined with regard to current market trends. The issue of any such 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 performance rights may be issued to the Executives and staff as a long term performance incentive. The portion of remuneration package that comprises performance rights is linked to the Company’s performance. The number of performance rights granted is determined with regard to current market trends. The issue of any such performance rights requires the approval of Shareholders in General Meeting.

All Executives are employed under permanent contracts. Mr D J Loughlin’s and Mr P A Evan’s contracts provide a six month notice period upon termination and a six month termination pay out. Mr S Maikranz’s contract specifies a 12 week notice period in the event that the contract is terminated. If the employment is terminated by Imdex after the probation period and prior to completion of 1 (one) year employment, Imdex will pay as compensation the monthly base salary times the number of months remaining to complete 12 months. Mr M Parsons’s contract specifies a 12 week notice period in the event that the contract is terminated.

No additional benefits above those already entitled to will become payable on termination.

Mr Weston was granted 65,341 performance rights in 2013 under the Performance Rights Plan. As the hurdles applicable to these performance rights were not achieved all of the performance rights expired.

During the year Mr Weston was allocated 54,245 shares upon the successful achievement of hurdles relating to performance rights granted prior to 2013.

During the prior year Mr Weston was allocated 54,245 shares upon the successful achievement of hurdles relating to performance rights granted prior to 2013.

Bonuses granted to Directors and Key Management Personnel

During the current year there were no bonuses earned by Directors and Key Management Personnel. Bonuses are paid on the achievement of performance criteria specific to the individual and as performance hurdles were not met in the current year then no bonus was 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.

Imdex Loyalty Programme

Imdex Limited has introduced a new global Loyalty Programme in recognition of employees with long standing years of service.

Employees with 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 years employment with Imdex will be entitled to rewards for their years of service.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(j) Review of Operations

Imdex’s FY14 results reflected the subdued activity levels within the minerals industry due to the cyclical downturn. Positive signs of improvement, however, were evident during 4Q14 including:

  • Month-on-month increases in Minerals revenue from 3Q14;

  • A 21% increase in the number of REFLEX rental instruments on hire (a key leading indicator for Imdex’s Minerals business and sector activity) from 3Q14;

  • Increasing throughput and revenue generated by REFLEX HUB, a trend that is expected to continue in FY15 and beyond providing a growing and sustainable annuity revenue stream; and

  • A growing number of solids removal units (SRUs) on hire with further increases forecast in early FY15.

Notwithstanding the challenging market conditions, Imdex’s Minerals Division made significant progress with its technology development, successfully strengthened its operations and diversified its customer base. Strong activity levels continued within the oil and gas sector with substantial opportunities for long-term growth. Imdex continued to invest in the development of this business and the Company’s Oil & Gas Division achieved record revenue levels for the year.

Financial results for FY14:

  • Statutory revenue down 21% to $183.5 million (FY13: $232.8 million);

  • Combined revenue (excluding interest) down 18% to $204.6 million (FY13: $249.4 million);

  • EBITA loss of $2.8 million (FY13: $35.2 million profit) including: $24.1 million profit on sale of SEH; $18.2 million of asset write-downs and closure costs; and $9.1 million of costs and provisions relating to the product containment incident;

  • EBITA profit of $0.5 million prior to the profit on sale of SEH and product containment, asset write-downs and closure costs;

  • Gross margins were largely maintained;

  • Net profit after tax (NPAT) a loss of $5.3 million (FY13: $19.4 million profit);

  • Net assets of $176.9 million (30 June 2013: $188.5 million);

  • Positive operating cash-flow of $2.9 million (FY13: $39.0 million); and

  • Reduced gearing with net debt / capital of 18.5% (30 June 2013: 22%).

Key operational highlights for the year included:

  • Continued product development during the minerals sector downturn producing an exciting pipeline of AMC Fluids and REFLEX technologies;

  • Growing industry demand and continued positive momentum with our solids removal units (SRUs) – particularly in the Americas;

  • Development of underground and heli-portable SRUs and positive customer feedback from field trials;

  • An AMEC Environmental Award for our SRUs;

  • Increased throughput and continuing positive feedback with the marketing of REFLEX HUB;

  • Expansion of our customer base, together with greater exposure to resource companies and the production phase of the mining cycle;

  • Commercialization of four new REFLEX technologies – further enhancing REFLEX’s leading product range;

  • Adoption of REFLEX HUB by blue chip resource companies for their drilling programs and maintenance management;

  • Increasing exposure and capabilities within non-mining applications, including HDD and waterwell markets;

  • Year-on-year revenue growth reported since FY10;

  • Further investment in equipment, working capital and talented personnel to support ongoing growth of the Company’s oil and gas business;

  • Continuing strong revenues and EBITDA performance by VES International (VES); and

  • Continuing growth from the coal bed methane industry in Australia with an increased demand for equipment solutions to ensure environmental disturbance by drilling activities is minimised.

Key operational challenges for the year included:

  • The subdued minerals market deflated the sector’s interest in adopting new technologies;

  • Managing equipment utilisation levels and managing down working capital, particularly stock levels and increasing pressure on customer collections, in a slow minerals market;

  • Managing costs ahead of revenue growth in AMC Oil & Gas – Germany; and

  • A product containment incident – as announced to the market on 13 March 2014.

(k) Dividends

No dividend was paid during the current year.

In the prior year a fully franked interim dividend of 2.50 cents per ordinary share was paid on 22 March 2013 to shareholders registered on 8 March 2013, and a fully franked final dividend of 0.40 cents per ordinary share was paid on 25 October 2013 to shareholders registered on 11 October 2013.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(l) Changes in State Of Affairs

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

(m) Subsequent Events

Subsequent to year end, the Group sold the remaining 91.9 million shares of its Sino Gas and Energy Holdings Ltd shareholdings at a share price of 18.5 cents per share to realise gross cash proceeds of $17.0 million at a book profit before tax of $14.2 million. Amounts shown within the Investment Revaluation Reserve at 30 June 2014 will be recycled to the Income Statement as a result of this sale.

(n) Future Developments

In support of our mission to deliver leading innovative technologies and solutions to the global minerals and oil and gas industry, we continue to focus on integrated solutions that enhance our customers’ operations and deliver value for shareholders. We achieve this through our extensive industry knowledge and commitment to product development, ensuring innovative, simple to use and fit-forpurpose technologies.

The outlook for Imdex’s minerals markets in FY15 is encouraging. There is evidence of increasing activity and growing optimism that the current cycle has bottomed and is forecast to improve over the next twelve months.

This expected increase in activity levels is largely due to the return of some brown field expenditure and recent capital raisings by junior exploration companies. The juniors have not been a factor over the last two years or so, however, they are raising funds and are now converting some of these funds into metres drilled. Assets divested by the major companies are also being acquired by smaller companies who are working those assets.

There is also growing interest in the Company’s new technologies, which provide an attractive platform for further revenue growth through FY15 and beyond. Customers are focused on maximising the efficiency and productivity of their operations – Imdex’s technologies enable them to achieve this and provide Imdex with a growing and sustainable annuity revenue stream.

Activity within the energy sector remains robust and continues to offer substantial year-on-year growth opportunities for Imdex’s Oil & Gas Division. The global drilling and completion fluids market is expected to increase by more than 20% to US$13.5 billion during calendar year 2014, and the solids control and waste management market is forecast to grow by more than 15% to US$4.3 billion. Even a fraction of this market will make a significant contribution to the Company’s growth.

Imdex is in a strong position to capitalise on a number of opportunities within its core markets and are forecasting significantly better results in the new financial year.

Key Areas of Focus and Growth Initiatives for FY15

  • Strong cost discipline and prudent working capital management;

  • Increasing market share in previously under-penetrated regions;

  • Increasing exposure and capabilities within non-mining applications, including HDD and waterwell markets;

  • Marketing new technologies to new and existing customers globally;

  • Increasing annuity revenue streams via REFLEX HUB;

  • Leveraging Imdex’s specialist expertise and product development capabilities;

  • Investing in Imdex’s Oil & Gas business to accelerate the Division’s growth; and

  • Supporting customers to increase the productivity and efficiency of their operations.

Imdex is becoming a stronger, more diversified business to better meet the challenges presented by downturns in the minerals sector. At the same time, the company is growing its business in the oil and gas sector and is continuing to develop its innovative products and leading technologies. Imdex aims to become the industry standard in providing innovative, simple to use technologies, which improve the effectiveness and efficiency of customers’ day to day operations.

(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.

As announced to the market on 13 March 2014, Imdex’s subsidiary the Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd (AMC), undertook precautionary measures for the containment of an imported product used in some drilling operations within Queensland, Australia. The measures were taken following notification that certain batches were contaminated.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

(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 fees paid for services provided 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.

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Imdex Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the statement of profit or loss and other 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 19 to 79.

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 gives a true and fair view and 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 consolidated 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 company’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 company’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.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

ASX Governance Principles and ASX Recommendations

The Australian Securities 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 2014. 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 2014, 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

Diversity

The Company has adopted a diversity policy to guide the Company’s employees and Board in developing and achieving its diversity objectives. The Company values diversity among its workforce and seeks to employ, retain and develop employees for the long term, assisting in their development and the development of the culture and values of the Company. This is done by promoting the value of different perspectives, ideas and benefits brought by engaging employees from all available talent.

The Company seeks to develop a culture of diversity within the Company whereby a mix of skills and diverse backgrounds are employed by the Company at all levels. This is achieved by:

  • developing and maintaining a diverse and skilled workforce through transparent recruitment processes

  • promoting an inclusive workplace culture that values and utilises the contributions of all employees backgrounds, experiences and perspective through improved awareness of the benefits of workforce diversity

  • facilitating diversity in the workplace by developing programs that promote growth for all employees, so each employee may reach their full potential, and providing maximum benefit for the Company

  • reviewing the demographic profile at all levels of the Company (considering any patterns or gaps that are apparent); and

  • setting measurable objectives to encourage diversity within the Company.

The Board continues to work on objectives that will work towards achieving these goals. The objectives will be reviewed and analysed regularly to assist the Company to benefit from a diverse workplace.

At 30 June 2014:

  • of five Board positions, four (80%) were held by males, and one (20%) was held by a female.

  • of nine senior executive positions, eight (89%) were held by males, and one (11%) was held by a female.

  • Of 567 full time employees, 438 (77%) were male and 129 (23%) were female.

1 Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards

Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current reporting period.

In the current year, the Group has applied for the first time AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12, AASB 13, AASB 119 and AASB 128 (as revised in 2011) together with the amendments to AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12 regarding the transitional guidance. AASB 127 (as revised in 2011) is not applicable to the Group as it deals only with separate financial statements.

The adoption of these amendments has not resulted in any significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies and has no significant affect on the amounts reported for the current or prior periods.

Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of the financial report, a number of Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective.

Initial application of the following Standards/Interpretations is not, based on management’s assessment to date, expected to have any material impact on the financial report of the company:

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 requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group is a for-profit entity.

Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the company and the Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 15 August 2014.

Where applicable comparative numbers have been reclassified to ensure consistent disclosure.

(a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost except for the revaluation of current assets held for sale 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) Basis of Consolidation

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 when the Group has power over an entity and is exposed to, or has rights over, the variable returns of the entity, as well as the ability to use this power to affect the variable returns of the entity.

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.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

  • recognises the fair value of the consideration received;

  • recognises the fair value of any investment retained;

  • recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss, and;

  • reclassifies to profit or loss or transfers directly to retained earnings, as appropriate, the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income.

Interest in associates are equity accounted and are not part of the consolidated Group (see 2(j)).

Transactions and balances between the company and its associates were eliminated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Group to the extent of the Group’s share in profits and losses of the associate resulting from these transactions.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) 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 consolidated statement of financial position.

(d) Goods and services tax

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

  • (i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

  • (ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. Cash flows are included in the consolidated statement of cash flows 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.

(e) 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.

(f) 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.

(g) 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.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h) Performance rights

Equity-settled performance rights 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 performance right 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 performance rights 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.

(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) Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j) Investments in associates (continued)

The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’ as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a group entity transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.

(k) 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.

(l) 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.

(m) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(n) 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, ‘current assets held for sale’, ‘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’.

(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.

IMDEX LIMITED and its controlled entities

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(n) Financial assets (continued)

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

(vii) 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.

(o) 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.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(p) 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(u).

(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.

(q) 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.

(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.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(q) Taxation (continued)

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.

(iii) 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.

(iv) 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.

(r) 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. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(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 consolidated statement of financial position 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.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(s) 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) Rental income

The Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in note 2 (r)(i).

(iv) Royalties

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

(v) 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.

(t) 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.

(iii) Termination benefit A liability for a termination benefit is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.

(u) 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(u) Impairment of other tangible and intangible assets (other than goodwill) (continued)

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.

(v) 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.

(w) Contingent Liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(x) Contingent Assets

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group. The Group does not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain.

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 has 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:

Use of forecasts

The directors have considered a number of factors in regard to any forward looking estimates. Imdex’s results for the year ended 30 June 2014 reflected the subdued activity levels within the minerals industry due to the cyclical downturn. Positive signs of improvement were evident during 4Q14, as outlined within the Directors’ report. The use of estimates is inherently uncertain and requires a significant level of judgement. Forward looking estimates have been used in the preparation of the financial report in respect of impairment of assets, recognition of deferred tax assets, the appropriate level of provisions and preparation of the financial report on a going concern basis. Management and the Directors have concluded that appropriate assessments have been made with respect to the use of forecasts in the preparation of the financial report.

  • Impairment of Goodwill and Intangibles

  • Determining whether goodwill and intangibles are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cashgenerating 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). An impairment loss of $3.7 million was booked in the current year (2013: nil). A goodwill amount of $60.3 million and intangible assets of $1.9 million have been recognised on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position.

  • Recognition of net deferred tax asset

  • A net deferred tax asset of $15.8 million has been recognised on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position. The largest component of this asset is the future tax benefit of depreciation of unrealised profits in property, plant and equipment items. This tax benefit will be realised progressively over the next 3-5 years as these assets are depreciated or sold. 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 performance rights

Performance rights as detailed in note 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.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

The Group exercises judgement in measuring and recognising provisions and the exposures to contingent liabilities related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement, mediation, arbitration or government regulation. Judgement is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated provision.

As announced to the market on 13 March 2014, Imdex’s subsidiary the Australian Mud Company Pty Ltd (AMC), undertook precautionary measures for the containment of an imported product used in some drilling operations within Queensland, Australia. The measures were taken following notification that certain batches were contaminated. Costs relating to the product containment incident are unlikely to be recoverable. As a result, management have made an estimate of the costs to remediate and have provided for these costs in FY14 based on this best estimate. In making this assessment a forward looking estimate has been made of future cash flows and the likely outcome of remediation negotiations.

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) Comprises 91,908,446 fully paid ordinary shares in Sino Gas and Energy Holdings Ltd (SEH) held at fair value (2013: 251,908,446 shares). This amounts to 6.01% of the issued share capital of SEH (30 June 2013: 20.11%).

This asset is non-core and accordingly, this investment has been classified as a Financial Asset Available for Sale and is carried at fair value.

During the year Imdex disposed of 160,000,000 SEH shares resulting in cash proceeds (net of selling expenses) of $28.4m, and resulting in a gain on disposal of $24.1m recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

SEH shares have previously been accounted for as a financial asset held for sale, with revaluation gains/losses recorded within other comprehensive income (net of tax). Historical revaluation gains up to the date of disposal of $17.2m (net of tax), have been reclassified at the date of disposal from Other Comprehensive Income to the Statement of profit or loss.

Subsequent to year end, the Group sold the remaining 91.9 million shares of its Sino Gas and Energy Holdings Ltd shareholdings at a share price of 18.5 cents per share to realise gross cash proceeds of $17.0 million at a book profit before tax of $14.2 million. Amounts shown within the Investment Revaluation Reserve at 30 June 2014 will be recycled to the Income Statement as a result of this sale.

(i) Foreign currency conversion of goodwill

Some goodwill balances are denominated in currencies other than Australian Dollars. In particular a portion of goodwill associated with the Reflex CGU is denominated in Swedish Kroner and a portion of the AMC Minerals South America CGU is denominated in Brazilian Real. These non-Australian Dollar balances are translated into Australian Dollars and fluctuate in line with foreign exchange movements.

(ii) Impairment losses recognised by cash-generating units:

AMC Minerals South America (1,500) -

AMC Minerals South America

Imdex has performed a value in use calculation, using a post tax discount rate of 13.47%, for the AMC Minerals South America CGU and has determined that the recoverable value is $5.8m (FY13: $7.1m). $1.5m of goodwill recognised on the acquisition of AMC Minerals South America is not recoverable, and a goodwill impairment charge of $1.5m has been recognised as at 30 June 2014.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL REPORT

12 Goodwill (continued)

(iii) Value in use calculations for AMC Minerals Asia Pacific, Reflex and AMC Oil and Gas Europe

The recoverable amount of AMC Minerals Asia Pacific, Reflex, and AMC Oil and Gas CGU’s have been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections covering a five year period, based on financial forecast models prepared by management and approved by the Imdex Limited Board.

The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its value in use calculation for the above CGU’s:

  • The discount rate applied to post tax cash flow projections is 11.47% (2013: 7.26%);

  • Revenue growth over the five year plan period for AMC Minerals Asia Pacific and Reflex has been forecast in line with the expected rate of recovery of the mining and mineral exploration markets, while revenue growth for AMC Oil and Gas in Europe has been projected to be in line with forecast growth in the Oil and Gas sector in the region. Projections are based on a five year forecast model prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors;

  • Cash flows beyond the five year period are estimated using a terminal value calculated under standard valuation principles incorporating a long term growth rate of 2.5% (2013: nil);

  • The impact of working capital has been assumed to increase in line with revenue growth;

  • Capital investment required to run the business has been assumed based on a five year forecast model prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors.

Management has considered the possibility that discount rates, long-term growth rates and forecast EBITDA growth could vary and have concluded that there are no reasonably possible changes in key assumptions that would result in a material impairment of goodwill for these CGU’s.

(iv) Value in use calculations for AMC Minerals South America

The recoverable amount of AMC Minerals South America has been determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections covering a five year period, based on financial forecast models prepared by management and approved by the Imdex Limited Board.

The following describes each key assumption on which management has based its value in use calculation for AMC Minerals South America:

  • The discount rate applied to post tax cash flow projections is 13.47% (2013: 11.62%);

  • Revenue growth over the five year plan period for AMC Minerals South America has been forecast in line with the expected rate of recovery of the mining and mineral exploration market within South and Latin America. Projections are based on a five year forecast model prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors;

  • Cash flows beyond the five year period are estimated using a terminal value calculated under standard valuation principles incorporating a long term growth rate of 2.5% (2013: nil);

  • The impact of working capital has been assumed to increase in line with revenue growth;

  • Capital investment required to run the business has been assumed based on a five year forecast model prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors.

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. Management has considered the implications of the key assumptions for the recoverable amount. The two main sensitivities where a reasonably possible change could lead to further impairment are considered further below, demonstrating the impact of the recoverable amount of a 0.25% change in these assumptions. A forward looking estimation of this nature is inherently uncertain and these sensitivities may vary by more or less than this percentage.

  • Discount rate: the recoverable amount of the AMC Minerals South America CGU would be negatively impacted by approximately $0.3m if the discount rate increased by 0.25%;

  • Long term growth rate: the recoverable amount of the AMC Minerals South America CGU would be negatively impacted by approximately $0.2m if the long term growth rate decreased by 0.25%;

On 7 October 2011 a clubbed banking facility involving Westpac Banking Corporation and HSBC was put in place. This facility replaced commercial bills and Canadian bank loans in place at that date. In December 2013, this facility was renewed for a further three years. As at 30 June 2014:

  • (i,a) AUD denominated borrowings includes an amortising facility that is repayable in equal monthly installments of $373,000 to 31 December 2016 on which date the balance remaining is payable, and a revolving facility that is fully repayable on 31 December 2016. Both facilities bear interest at floating rates.

  • (i,b) USD denominated borrowings includes an amortising facility that is repayable in equal monthly installments of $21,000 to 31 December 2016 on which date the balance remaining is payable, and a revolving facility that is fully repayable on 31 December 2016. Both facilities bear interest at floating rates.

  • (i,c) CAD denominated borrowings include an amortising facility that bears interest at a floating rate and is repayable in equal monthly installments of $165,000 to 31 December 2016 on which date the balance remaining is payable.

The club facility is secured by the assets of entities in Australia, Canada, Chile, South Africa and Europe.

At 30 June 2014, the Group had unused banking facilities totalling AUD$3.3 million, comprising AUD$2.5 million and ZAR7.9 million (AUD$0.8 million).

  • (ii) 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.

21 Commitments for Expenditure

(a) Capital expenditure commitments

At 30 June 2014 the Group had capital expenditure commitments amounting to $2,683,000 (2013: $3,145,000). These commitments relate to the purchase of Minerals and Oil and Gas rental equipment and the final payments of the Balcatta premises.

(b) Lease commitment

Hire purchase liabilities and non-cancellable operating lease commitments are disclosed in note 23.

22 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

The Group is party to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the normal course of business. Any liabilities may be mitigated by legal defences, insurance, and third party indemnities. Unless recognised as a provision (refer Note 16), management do not consider it to be probable that they will require settlement at the Group’s expense. Whilst the outcome of these claims are, by their nature, uncertain, the directors do not currently anticipate that the outcome of the proceedings either individually, or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Group’s financial position.

A provision is recognised related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims where probable and estimable. Actual costs can differ from estimates for many reasons. For instance, settlement costs for claims and litigation can vary from estimates based on differing interpretations of laws, opinions on responsibility and assessments of the amount of damages. Our in-house legal counsel regularly assesses contingent liabilities and in certain circumstances, outside legal counsel is utilised.

As at 30 June 2014, the main contingent liability relates to potential costs associated with the product containment incident which have been provided for based on management’s estimate of the costs to remediate (as detailed in note 16). In making this assessment a forward looking estimate has been made of future cash flows and the likely outcome of remediation negotiations. Because of the inherent uncertainty in this evaluation process, actual losses may be different from the originally estimated provision.

25 Acquisition of Businesses

(a) 2013 Acquisition of entity - ioGlobal Pty Ltd and ioAnalytics Pty Ltd

With effect from 1 November 2012, Imdex Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of ioGlobal Pty Ltd and ioAnalytics Pty Ltd (together ioGlobal). ioGlobal provides innovative cloud-based data management solutions for the mining and mineral exploration industries. The numbers presented below have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

(i) Goodwill arose in the business combination because the cost of the combination included a control premium paid to acquire ioGlobal. 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 ioGlobal. 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. ioGlobal has been assessed for impairment as part of the Reflex CGU.

(ii) The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 30 June 2013 records the payment for the acquisition of ioGlobal as $3.9 million being the cash purchase consideration of $4.8 million paid net of the $0.9 million of cash acquired.

(iii) Intangible assets of $1.3 million comprise the fair value of the intellectual property and know-how associated with ioGlobal. The discounted present value of expected future cash flows on a relief from royalty method has 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 $0.4 million was raised on this asset.

(iv) Had the acquisition of ioGlobal been effected on 1 July 2012, the beginning of the current year, the ioGlobal financial results included in the Imdex consolidated results would have been revenue of approximately $4.2 million with a loss of $1.0 million. The results of ioGlobal 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.

(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 17 and 18. Management and the Board review the capital structure regularly. The treasury function presents 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.

(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.

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% (2013: 10%) increase and decrease in the Australian Dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate of 10% (2013: 10%) 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% (2013: 10%) 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% (2013: 10%) 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.

(i) Profit and loss impacts are mainly attributable to exposure on outstanding receivables and payables at year end denominated in the applicable foreign currency

(ii) Equity movements are attributable to the net investment in a foreign operation denominated in the applicable foreign currency

(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.

In the absence of fixed rate debt the Group’s policy allows for the use of interest rate swaps. Where the group enters into fixed rate debt it is understood that this creates a fair value exposure as a by-product of the Group’s attempt to manage its cash flow volatility arising from interest rate changes.

For the 2014 financial year the Group entered into an AUD interest swap at 3.01% maturing in December 2016, in order to protect against rising interest rates, under which it has a right to receive interest at a variable rates and to pay interest at a fixed rate. The swap in place has a fair value of $0.08m (liability). This swap covers approximately 40% (2013: nil) of the principal outstanding at reporting date and is timed to expire at the renewal date of the loans.

The interest rate swap requires settlement of net interest receivable or payable each month. The settlement date coincides with the date on which interest is payable on the underlying debt. The swap is measured at fair value and all gains and losses attributable to the hedged risk is taken directly to equity and re-classified into profit or loss when the interest expense is recognised.

(i) The interest rate swap contract is exposed to fair value movement if interest rates change. Under this contract the Group is committed to $0.3m interest expense within 12 months (on $12m of notional debt), $0.2m interest expense between 1 year and 2 years on $8m of notional debt), and $0.1m interest expense between 2 years and 5 years (on $4m of notional debt). The interest expense is calculated at 3.01%.

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 presented in the below paragraph is 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 $0.6 million (2013: $0.6 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 $0.5 million (2013: $0.6 million). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.

(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 2014 no such collateral had been obtained (2013: 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 28(d) is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Company/Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

(j) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are determined on the following basis:

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Subsequent to initial recognition, at fair value financial instruments are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

Levels are defined as follows:

  • 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 with 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).

At 30 June 2014, the Group has listed equity securities which are classified as level 1 and level 2 fair value measurements. There were no transfers between levels in the period.

32 Staff Option Scheme

Share Based Payment Arrangements

There were no options issued or exercised during the current or prior year. There were no outstanding options at the end of the financial year.

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) and subsequently renewed at the Annual General Meeting on 18 October 2012. 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.

(b) Performance rights granted in the current year

Staff Performance Rights

Tranche 11 comprising 5,124,070 performance rights was issued to employees on 4 October 2013 and were to be allotted in equal 1/3 lots annually beginning in August 2014. These performance rights were subject to profitability related hurdles as well as ongoing employment tenure. All of these performance rights expired due to performance hurdles not being met and no expense was incurred in the current year.

Managing Director’s Performance Rights

300,000 performance rights were granted to the Managing Director on 17 October 2013 following approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary share 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 FY14 to FY16. 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 FY16 independent audit report is signed in August 2016.

For the purposes of the FY14 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 300,000 performance rights issued, all will meet the required performance hurdles and will result in 300,000 fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares being issued on or about August 2016 should employment tenure be retained.

The fair value of a performance right at grant date was $0.78 per right. The expected total cost of the estimated 300,000 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 2013 to August 2016, with $0.1 million expensed in the current year.

(c) Performance rights Granted in the prior year

Staff Performance Rights

Tranche 10 comprising 1,261,991 performance rights was issued to employees on 28 September 2012 and are to be allotted in equal 1/3 lots annually beginning in August 2013. These performance rights are subject to profitability related hurdles as well as ongoing employment tenure. 1,223,528 of these performance rights expired due to performance hurdles not being met. The fair value of a performance right at grant date was $1.62. The expected total cost of the estimated 38,463 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued in Imdex Limited will therefore be $62,310. This value will be expensed over the vesting period from October 2012 to August 2015, with $0.03 million expensed in the current year.

An additional 50,000 performance rights were issued under Tranche 7 to Key Management Personnel with 1/4 to be allotted in August 2014 with the remaining 3/4 to be allotted in August 2015. These performance rights are subject to ongoing employment tenure only. The fair value of a performance right at grant date was $2.10. The expected total cost of the estimated 50,000 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued in Imdex Limited will therefore be $0.1 million. This value will be expensed over the vesting period to August 2015, with $0.2 million expensed in the current year.

Since their granting a number of performance rights have expired by virtue of staff leaving the employment of the Imdex Group, details of which are contained in the table below. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary shares will be issued in satisfaction of each performance right should specified targets be met.

Managing Director’s Performance Rights

264,818 performance rights were granted to the Managing Director on 18 October 2012 following approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. One fully paid Imdex Limited ordinary share 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 FY13 to FY15. 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 FY15 independent audit report is signed in August 2015.

The fair value of a performance right at grant date was $1.44 per right. The expected total cost of the estimated 264,818 fully paid ordinary shares to be issued in Imdex Limited will therefore be $0.4 million. This value will be expensed over the vesting period from October 2012 to August 2015, with $0.1 million expensed in the current year.
