Brief Explanation and background to the above results:
1. Imperial Pacific had an excellent year with net worth rising 35% before dividend payout. One
investment, a 2% shareholding in funds administration group, MainstreamBPO was sold
during the year for a gain of $306,000.
  1. 30% owned associate, London City Equities Limited, the key client of Imperial Pacific's subsidiary Imperial Pacific Asset Management, recorded an excellent uplift in Shareholder net worth and franking credits assisted especially by its 5.7% shareholding in Fiducian Group Limited. Its modest 2.0% shareholding in Coffey International was sold via a takeover.

  2. A major debt in Penrice Soda of $5 million was purchased and that company continues to be examined for legal redress.

  3. Preliminary work continues on creating an Activist Investment Fund, but stalled by the lack of attractive candidates. A target list continues to be monitored.

  4. Imperial Pacific's net assets per share climbed 28% to 87 cents, notwithstanding the payment of a 5.0 cent fully franked dividend in October 2015. NTA has risen since year end.

  5. 6.The Board is finalising arrangements for a Share Purchase Plan to be offered to shareholders at 75 cents a share, payable by 30 September. It will not participate in the 2016 final dividend. The Record Date will be 11 August 2016. The purpose is to increase the asset base to reduce the pro rata impact of overheads on earnings and to allow smaller holders to increase their investment.

IMPERIAL PACIFIC LIMITED Notes to the financial statements - 30 June 2016

==> picture [35 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1: Summary of significant accounting policies

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") form the basis of Australian Accounting Standards ("AASBs") adopted by the AASB. The financial report has been prepared in accordance with AIFRS (Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards).

In this report "Group" refers to the consolidated entity and "Company" refers to the parent entity, Imperial Pacific Limited. This financial report consists of financial statements for the consolidated entity which consists of Imperial Pacific Limited and its respective subsidiaries and its equity accounted associate London City Equities Limited.

The Group has early adopted AASB 9 - Financial Instruments. The Company has voluntarily adopted this standard as it is considered to result in a presentation that better reflects the performance and operations of the Company. A feature of AASB 9 is that unrealised gains or losses to fair value of the Investment Portfolio are not treated as "impairment" charges in the Income Statement but are reflected in the unrealised reserve account.

The Group has tried to adopt "plain English" where possible to assist in information transparency.

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

(a) Basis of Accounting

Imperial Pacific Limited is a listed public company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. It has subsidiary companies also incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements are prepared using the valuation methods described below for holdings of securities. All other items have been treated in accordance with historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting policies are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.

(b) Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Imperial Pacific Limited. Control exists where Imperia Pacific Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Imperial Pacific Limited to achieve the objectives of Imperial Pacific Limited. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 26 to the financial statements. All inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profits or losses have been eliminated on consolidation.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the economic entity during the year, their operating results have been included from the date control was obtained or until the date control ceased. The accounts of 30.1% owned London City Equities Limited are included by adopting the equity method of accounting (equity accounted as a 30.1% owned entity in 2015).

(c) Investments: Controlled Entities & Associates

The investments in subsidiary companies are carried at their cost of acquisition less any provision for impairment. Dividends are brought to account in the profit and loss account when they are credited or paid by the controlled entity.

London City Equities Limited is not recognised as a controlled entity because it is a company over which the group is not able to exercise control despite its 30.1% equity ownership, as one other shareholder controls over 48.0%. It is an associated company.

Investments in associated companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting.

IMPERIAL PACIFIC LIMITED Notes to the financial statements - 30 June 2016

==> picture [35 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

(d) Income Tax Expense

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the asset bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements and to unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset as all current and deferred taxes relate to the Australian Taxation Office and can legally be settled on a net basis.

A tax provision is made for the unrealised gain or loss on Trading Portfolio securities valued at market value through the Income Statement.

Where non-current Investment Portfolio securities are adjusted for unrealised gains or losses at balance date in the Unrealised Revaluation Reserve an assessed deferred tax liability or asset is created to reflect the applicable tax, even though there may be no intention to dispose of those holdings. The tax sum is applied to the Unrealised Revaluation Reserve on one hand and the deferred tax liability or asset on the other. Where the company might dispose of such securities, tax is calculated on gains made according to the particular parcels allocated to the sale for tax purposes offset against any capital losses carried forward. Imperial Pacific Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidation group under the Tax Consolidation Regime. Imperial Pacific Limited is responsible for recognising the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax consolidated group. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the consolidated group.

(e) Investments

The Company has two discrete types of investments. They are Trading Portfolio Financial Assets (Current Assets) and Investment Portfolio Financial Assets (Non-Current Assets).

All investments are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration paid. After initial recognition, investments (classified as either Trading or Investment Portfolio) are measured at their fair value. Fair value of listed securities is determined by reference to the last sale price at the close of business at balance date. Gains on Trading Portfolio investments are recognised in the Income Statement. Gains on Investment Portfolio securities are recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold, collected or otherwise disposed of.

Dividend income is only taken to account when the right to receive a dividend is established, interest revenue being recognised on a proportional basis taking into account interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

(f) Non-Current Assets

The carrying amounts of all non-current assets other than investments are reviewed at least annually to determine whether they are in excess of their recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of a non-current asset exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the lower value. In assessing recoverable amounts, the relevant cash flows have been discounted to their present value.

(g) Derivatives

The economic entity is from time to time exposed to fluctuations in interest rates from its activities. It is not the policy of the economic entity to use derivative financial instruments. The economic entity does not hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. It has no foreign exchange exposure.

(h) Employee Entitlements

The company has no employees.

(i) Cash and cash equivalents

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(j) Financial Risk issues

The economic entity has in place risk management controls supervised by the Board and the Audit, Compliance and Risk Management Committee. Risk issues are explained further in Note 16 of the financial statements. B516

Notes to the financial statements - 30 June 2016

IMPERIAL PACIFIC LIMITED

==> picture [35 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

(k) Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable where invoiced. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the ATO is included with other payables in the balance sheet. Cash Flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the ATO, are reported as operating cash flow.

(l) Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Revenues from the rendering of a service is recognised upon delivery of the service. Management revenue is recognised on an accruals basis.

(m) New Standards and interpretations not yet adopted.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2016, and, except for ASSB 9 which has been early adopted, have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Accounting standards and interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Company, together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Company when adopted in future periods, are discussed below:

- AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 Jan 2017 The standard contains new requirements for the recognition of revenue and additional disclosures. On 30 July 2015, the IASB issued its package of proposed amendments to the new revenue standard in response to implementation issues raised by stakeholders and discussed by the Transition Resource Group. The IASB also voted on 22 July 2015 to finalise the one-year deferral of the revenue standard until years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The AASB is also expected to make a similar amendment. While the entity does not expect the new standard to have an impact on how revenue is recognised, it is yet to perform a detailed assessment.

Note 13. Capital Management

The Company's objective in managing capital is to continue to provide shareholders with attractive investment returns over the medium to longer term through access to investment management fee income, a steady stream of fully-franked dividends, minimum gearing and enhancement of capital invested. These goals include paying dividends that will, over time, grow faster than the rate of inflation. The company recognises that its capital will fluctuate in accordance with market conditions and the performance of its underlying investments. It may adjust the dividends paid, issue new shares from time to time or buy-back its shares or sell assets to minimise debt.

A. Financial instruments - fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Accounting Standards require the disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

B. Risk Considerations - Main factors

The Group's activities expose it to various financial risks, mainly market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk management is carried out by senior management under policies and strategies approved by the Board and the Audit, Compliance and Risk Management Committee. The Group is not directly exposed to currency risk.

(a) Market Risk

This is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments may fluctuate because of changes in market prices that depend on many factors, including economic conditions, corporate profitability and management competence. The group seeks to reduce market risk by adhering to the prudent investment guidelines of its board, including guidelines in respect of industry status, investee position in the industry, performance outlook, management skills and level of stategic shareholding acquired. Price and Interest Rate risk issues are shown below.

IMPERIAL PACIFIC LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements - 30 June 2016

==> picture [36 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

Note 16. Financial instruments and risk (Cont'd)

(a) (i) Price Risk

The Group is exposed to price risk in relation to equities securities and convertible loan notes. These arise from: - Investments held by the Group and classified on the balance sheet as either Trading or Portfolio; and - Exposure to adverse movements in equity prices which may have negative flow-on effects to the revenue derived from the management of clients' investment portfolios.

The Group is not directly exposed to commodity price risk or derivative securities risk.

Price Risk Sensitivity Analysis:

The table below summarises the pre-tax impact of both a general fall and general increase in stock-market prices on listed equity securities by 10%. The analysis is based on the assumption that the movements are spread equally over all assets in the investment and trading portfolios. It assumes no performance fees payable from managed funds.

Impact on Profit (Pre tax) 4,269 (4,269) 4,882 (4,882)
Impact on Equity (Pre tax) 189,477 (189,477) 154,573 (154,573)

(a) (ii) Interest Rate Risk

This is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. At balance date the Group had money on deposit with its bankers. As such, the Group's revenues and assets are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that the cash rate might fall over any given period. Given that the Group does not have any interest bearing liabilities at balance date, however, the Board and management do not consider it necessary to hedge the group's exposure to interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis:

The table below summarises the pre-tax impact of both a decrease and an increase in interest rates by 100 basis points (1.00%). The analysis is based on the assumption that the change is based on the amounts of cash at bank and cash at year end.

Interest Rate Interest Rate Interest Rate Interest Rate
$ $ $ $
Impact on profit (pre-tax) 5,980 (5,980) 4,159 (4,159)

(b) Credit Risk

The credit risk on the financial assets of the entity is the risk that one party to a financial instrument may cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. This credit risk for Imperial Pacific is minimised by its policy of placing surplus funds with the company's bankers.

(b) (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The credit risk of the Group in relation to cash and cash equivalents ins the carrying amount and any accrued unpaid interest. The average weighted maturity of the cash portfolio at any time is no greater than 90 days. The credit quality of cash deposits and equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings.

2016 2015
Cash at bank and short-term bank deposits $ $
- Credit Rating (Short) A-1+ 597,956 415,917

(b) (ii) Trade and sundry receivables

The credit risk of the Group in relation to trade and sundry receivables is their carrying amounts. The sums are minor and relate mainly to accrued unpaid interest and prepayments. The risk is mitigated by internal monitoring.

(c) Liquidity Risk

This risk is that experienced by an entity when it has difficulties meeting its financial obligations. The Imperia Pacific consolidated entity has no external borrowings. It manages liquidity carefully, maintaining appropriate maturity balances of short term deposits and marketable securities. The Group's management and its Board actively review the liquidity position on a regular basis to ensure that the Group can always meet its commitments, including investment programmes.

(c) (i) Maturities of financial assets

The following table details the Group's maturity periods of its financial assets. This table has been prepared based on the fair values of financial assets as at 30 June and according to the committed deposit maturing dates.

Note 17. Directors and Executives' Remuneration (Cont'd)

(d) Remuneration Practices

The company's policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments of board members and senior executives of the company is as follows:

  1. The remuneration arrangements for directors are determined by the shareholders in general meeting. From time to time the Board may submit proposals to increase the fees, which are presently have a maximum of $125,000. The company has scope to remunerate Directors for special duties that may be requested on occasion. Mr Murray does not receive Directors Fees from the Company.

  2. The company has no formal executives. In the case of Mr Murray his remuneration is based on an assessment of his experience, performance and tasks undertaken through the year where, in the main, an hourly fee of $80 is payable, plus a share of corporate advisory fee income.

  3. The company has a Remuneration Committee in operation.

Note 19. Contingent Liabilities

There are no known contingent liabilities. No group member has any bank facilities or arrangements.

Note 20. Contingent Assets

On 17 June and on 25 July 2011 associated company London City Equities Limited was granted judgment in its favour by the Federal Court of Australia to access certain records and documents of Penrice Soda Holdings Limited ("Penrice"). This followed legal action by London City to assess the conduct of the directors of Penrice and the provision of information in 2008 and 2009 when London City made investments in Penrice. Penrice was placed into liquidation on 31 July 2014. The investigatory process may ultimately lead to legal action being taken against the Directors of Penrice or parties associated that company for the recovery of substantial investment losses. During the year Imperial Pacific group purchased a $5 million debt owing by Penrice Soda and redress is being sought. There is insufficient information at the date of this report to estimate any future benefit that may arise.

Summary of the performance and financial position of associates
The aggregate profits, assets and liabilities of associates are:

Assets 6,824,477 4,595,114

Note 27. Economic dependency

The major business activities of the group during the year 2015/15 were the management of the London City Equities portfolio, the depositing of funds and the sale of the MainstreamBPO investment. The 30.1% owned London City Equities at 30 June 2016 owns interests in companies in the financial services sector. Together with that indirect interest Imperial Pacific has its own interests in the same sector. Accordingly the group has some dependency on the financial services sector.

Note 28. Events occurring after balance date

The Directors have declared a fully franked dividend of 5.0 cents per share for 2016. This is not shown in the accounts.
