Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 3

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

I am pleased to announce a robust profit for Joyce Corporation Ltd to 30[th] June 2012 of $3.035 million. This compares with a profit of $2.91 million for last year to 30[th] June 2011.

This equates to earnings per share of 12.6 cents which is down on the comparative year due to the early conversions of convertible notes during the year.

The company’s Net Asset Value per share as at 30 June 2012 is 81 cents excluding partly paid shares.

Accordingly Directors will consider an appropriate Dividend policy and communicate with shareholders post our recently announced business review. The review outcome is expected in October 2012.

The company’s Franchise business Bedshed performed well and above expectations, whilst the challenging retail environment did not herald the same result in some company stores with less than optimal performance in regional areas. As a result the Directors have decided to take up a one-off provision to deal with the exit of some stores. The closure costs have been accounted for at 30 June 2012.

I am pleased to confirm we received 100% support to convert all the Convertible Notes during the year. This has enhanced equity and improved shareholders’ funds by an additional $2.18M in this reporting period.

The group has a very valuable asset with its 41,000 m2 industrial property site at Bridges Road Moorebank. This is in South West Sydney and adjoins the Georges River. This property is currently rented to the leading Australian Foam manufacturer at sub-economic market rents.

The valuation received by the bank registered panel valuers was recorded with the financial report at $15M based on the sub-economic rent and under current fair value for investment property. We anticipate, based on advice received, this value will continue to improve over the next few years. We also anticipate the recent announcement by the NSW Government to enhance port distribution potential by creating a freight inter-modal site nearby will likely enhance demand for commercial land in the area in coming years to aid and facilitate distribution hubs for sea freight containers.

The group is now in a financially conservative gearing position, consisting of a debt to equity of 24.5% at 30 June 2012 and may seek to leverage its strong balance sheet in the near future to improve the returns to shareholders.

It is important to note the company has $4.2M of inventory tied up in company stores which will reduce as underperforming company stores are closed.

I would like to recognise the efforts and achievements of the Board and Management in addressing and resolving outstanding issues and placing our Group in a far stronger position to undertake sustained renewed growth.

I commend the Group’s prospects to you.

Dan Smetana Chairman

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 4

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Joyce Corporation Ltd made a consolidated net profit of $3.035 million after tax to 30 June 2012. This was up 4.1% on the previous reporting year.

Total revenue recorded was $19.9M down from $24.4M as a consequence of closure and franchising of some company owned stores in the previous period.

The Bedshed Franchising business recorded annual network written sales for the 2012 financial year in line with the 2011 financial year on a like for like basis. The global economic environment and uncertainty continue to impact retail conditions in Australia.

Retailers in general reported worsening conditions during the course of the year. The Bedshed brand remains very strong with a steady flow of enquiries for new Franchises, a growth of Franchise income and strong import activities.

During the course of the year Bedshed engaged experts in retail store concept design. Management completed a new evolution store fit-out model that will greatly enhance our customer shopping experience aided by technology and innovations in display. This is due to start rolling-out into stores during the 2013 year. We anticipate this along with new ranging and attractive pricing will maintain Bedshed at the forefront of the Bedding retail industry.

The Company ended up with reported Earnings before Interest Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) of $3.83 million. The net shareholders’ funds increased consistently over the course of the last two and a half years aided by the very valuable property asset at Moorebank and the 100% conversion of $2.18 Million of Convertible Notes into equity. Net Shareholder’s funds ended the year at $22.3 Million up from $17.91M in 2011 and $15.69M in 2010.

The accounts for this period included a one-off provision of $950,000. This is recorded to cover the closure, in the next accounting period, of some less than optimal performing company owned stores. This we believe will help re-position the group for growth in Franchising.

The Company seeks to enhance its cash flow generating business units in the mid-term to deliver improved returns to shareholders. As previously announced the Company will undertake a review with external input to explore all opportunities and options. It will review the potential of mergers and acquisitions as well as possible asset sales to achieve this goal.

The Company has recently commissioned a national franchisee survey, by an independent company, to assist Bedshed in benchmarking its brand and delivering superior service initiatives to franchise holders. This is in line with the Bedshed Vision of becoming the most successful specialist Bedroom Franchise by 2015.

Review of Operations

Management focused on further re-structuring planning and in achieving improvements to overall efficiency.

For provisioned store closures the lease surrender costs had reduced over time making it commercial to now close underperforming stores. The company prefers to continue focus on Franchisee store growth. One additional franchise store was opened during the year by an existing Franchisee, which in a difficult trading environment supports the successful franchise model of Bedshed. The improvement in operating profit is directly attributable to the Company's change in strategy and focus.

The Company maintains its valuable Investment Property at Moorebank in Sydney’s busy south- west, near the M5 Motorway exit/entry ramp and the Georges River.

The property was recently valued by an independent bank panel valuer for $17.4M. The Company took up $15M for its investment value on the basis of the sub-economic rent earned from its preexisting lease, which is due to end in 2015.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 5

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Future Outlook

The current economic outlook and global economic conditions prohibit any accurate forecasts of activity to be presented with any certainty. As a result the board has decided to refrain from giving any outlook toward the group's 2013 results.

The Company plan is to have its Bedshed business continue to grow through the franchise business; we will investigate opportunities to reach a stronger market position and work to improve general performance.

Joyce Corporation Limited has the opportunity to leverage its strong balance sheet to grow its size from its present “micro- cap” company status, whilst taking a relatively low risk approach. The Board has undertaken to continue to review opportunities as they present themselves.

  • (b) An owner of a number of Bedshed retail stores.

No significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Consolidated Entity occurred during the year.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the year ended 30 June 2012 (“the Financial Year”) the Consolidated Entity, achieved revenue from continuing operations of $16,052,000 (2011: $16,549,000) and a profit from continuing operations after taxation of $4,689,000 (2011: $3,979,000) and a net profit after tax of $3,035,000 (2011: $2,914,000). The reduction in revenue primarily resulted from the reduced number of stores and a weaker consumer market.

Profit was maintained with revaluation of the investment property at Moorebank in NSW. Further valuation increases are expected from the expiration of subsidised rental period out to November 2015.

Closure of Company-owned stores

During the year ended 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity provided for the closure of a number of underperforming company owned stores.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED (CONTINUED)

The Remuneration Committee is required to assess its effectiveness periodically. In addition the Charter is required to be revised annually and updated as required.

Remuneration Policies

The objective of the Consolidated Entity’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward. The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness;

  • acceptability to shareholders;

  • performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation;

  • transparency; and

  • capital management.

In consultation with external remuneration consultants, where appropriate, the Consolidated Entity has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the organisation.

A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration (continued)

Alignment to shareholders’ interests:

  • has economic profit as a core component of plan design;

  • focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and

  • attracts and retains high calibre executives.

Alignment to program participants’ interests:

  • rewards capability and experience;

  • reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth;

  • provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and

  • provides recognition for contribution.

Non-executive Directors

Fees and payments to non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board considers, where appropriate, the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market. The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees of non-executive Directors based on comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is not present at any discussions relating to determination of his own remuneration.

The current base remuneration was last reviewed with effect from 30 June 2011. The Chairman's remuneration is inclusive of committee fees and other non-executive Directors who are members of a committee do not receive additional yearly fees.

Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $400,000 per annum and was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 20 November 2006.

Included in the measures are contributions to net profit before tax, cash targets and departmental functional KPI's. At the end of the financial year the remuneration committee assesses the actual performance of the Consolidated Entity, the relevant segment and individual against the KPIs set at the beginning of the financial year. Should the Consolidated Entity, or the relevant segment, achieve the set KPIs, the Board will reward the key management personnel with a bonus during the salary review. A percentage of a predetermined maximum amount is awarded depending on results. No bonus is awarded where performance falls below the minimum.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 18

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

Principle 1: Lay Solid Foundation for Management and Oversight (continued)

The Company has established the functions delegated to senior executives and will set out these functions in its Board Charter. Senior executives are responsible for supporting the Executive Director and assisting the Executive Director in implementing the running of the general operations and financial business of the Company, in accordance with the delegated authority of the Board.

Recommendation 1.2:

Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives.

Disclosure:

Evaluation of the Executive Director is carried out by the Remuneration Committee each year together with the ongoing monitoring of management and Company performance, with informal discussions undertaken as required. The Executive Director conducts a formal review each year assessing the performance of Senior Executives and reports back to the Board.

Recommendation 1.3:

Companies should provide the information indicated in the “Guide to reporting on Principle 1.”

Disclosure:

The Remuneration Committee conducted an evaluation of the Executive Director in June 2012. The remuneration committee conducted an evaluation of Senior Executives in June 2012. The performance evaluation was undertaken in accordance with the process disclosed above.

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value

Recommendation 2.1:

A majority of the Board should be independent Directors.

Disclosure:

The Board is currently comprised of four Directors with three being non-executive Directors, including the Chairman and one executive Director. The Company does not comply with this recommendation, as two of the four Directors are considered independent.

The independent Directors of the Company are:

  • Mr M Gurry (Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee)

  • Mr T Hantke (Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Remuneration Committee)

The Board regularly assesses the independence of each Director with the intention to have a majority of Directors being independent. Each Director is required to provide to the Board all relevant information to assist the Board in this regard.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued)

Recommendation 2.2:

The Chair should be an independent Director.

Disclosure:

The Chairman is not considered independent due to the size of the shareholding in his control.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board has decided to continue with Mr D Smetana as Chairman in recognition of his considerable experience with the Company and expertise that complements the skills and experience of the other Board members. The Company deals with the lack of independence of the Chairman by ensuring that conflicts of interest are adequately disclosed and the Chairman abstains from voting on matters where they have, or it is perceived they have, a beneficial interest in the outcome of the matters.

Recommendation 2.3:

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

Disclosure:

The Executive Director (Anthony Mankarios) has taken over all operational and corporate supervision responsibility.

Recommendation 2.4:

The Board should establish a Nomination Committee.

Disclosure:

The Company has not established a separate Nomination Committee.

Explanation for Departure:

The Board considers the present Directors are able to discharge the responsibilities of a Director, having regards to the law and the highest standards of governance. Should a vacancy exist, for whatever reason, or where considered that the Board would benefit from the services of a new Director, the Board will select appropriate candidates with relevant qualifications, skills and experience. The Board has not established a separate Nomination Committee as, due to the Company's size, the simplicity of its operations, the Board's size and the cost effectiveness of the Board's current operations, the Board considers such a separate Nomination Committee is not warranted or commercially viable and its functions and responsibilities can be adequately and efficiently discharged by the Board as a whole. The Board assesses the experience, knowledge and expertise of potential Directors before any appointment is made.

Items that are usually required to be discussed by a Nomination Committee are marked as separate agenda items at Board meetings when required. The Board deals with any conflicts of interest that may occur when convening in the capacity of Nomination Committee by ensuring the Director with conflicting interests is not party to the relevant discussions.

Recommendation 2.5:

Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the Board, its committees and individual Directors.

Disclosure:

The Company has adopted self-evaluation processes to measure Board performance. The performance of all Directors is assessed through analysis and review by, and discussion with, the Chair on issues relating to individual Directors' attendance at and involvement in Board meetings, interaction with management, performance of allocated tasks and any other matters identified by the Chair or other Directors. Evaluation of any Board committees is conducted on a similar basis. Due to the Board's assessment of the effectiveness of these processes, the Board has not formalised qualitative performance indicators to measure individual Director’s performance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value (continued)

Recommendation 2.6:

Companies should provide the information indicated in the “Guide to reporting on Principle 2.”

Disclosure:

Skills, Experience, Expertise and Term of Office of each Director

The composition of the Board has been determined on the basis of providing the Company with the benefit of a broad range of commercial, administrative and financial skills, combined with an appropriate level of experience at a senior corporate level. The names and further information regarding the skills, experience, qualifications, relevant expertise and term of office of the Directors are set out in the most recent Directors’ Report.

Board Access to Information and Independent Advice

All Directors have access to employees and, subject to the law, access to all Company records and information held by employees and external advisers. The Board receives regular detailed financial and operational reports from senior management to enable it to carry out its duties.

Consistent with ASX Principle 2, the Company allows each Director to seek individual external advice at the expense of the Company.

Committees of the Board

The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee to assist the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities.

Further information about the Audit Committee is provided in the statement under Principal 4: Safeguard Integrity in Financial Reporting .

Further information about the Remuneration Committee is provided in the statement under Principal 8: Remunerate Fairly and Responsibility .

Identification of Independent Directors

The policy on Director Independence defines an independent Director as a non-executive Director (not a member of management) and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with the independent exercise of their judgment.

In determining the independent status of a Director the Board considers whether the Director:

  • is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with, a substantial shareholder the Company;

  • is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another group member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

  • has within the last three years been a principal of a material professional adviser or a material consultant to the Company, or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provider;

  • is a material supplier or customer of the Company, or another group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

  • has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another group member, other than as a Director of the Company.

Materiality for these purposes is determined on both a quantitative and qualitative bases. An amount of over 5% of annual turnover or 5% of the individual Director’s net assets is considered material for these purposes.

Nomination Matters

The full Board carries out the role of the Nomination Committee. The full Board did not officially convene as a Nomination Committee during the Reporting Period; however the Board discusses nominated-related matters from time to time during the year as required. The explanation for departure set out under Recommendation 2.4 above explains how the functions of the Nomination Committee are performed.

Performance Evaluation

During the Reporting Period no review or evaluation of the performance of the Board, individual Directors and applicable Committees was undertaken in accordance with the process disclosed at Recommendation 2.5.

Selection and (Re)/Appointment of Directors

The Company has not established (and therefore has not made publicly available) a formal Policy and Procedure for Selection and (Re)/Appointment of Directors.

In determining candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee (or equivalent) considers the balance of independent Directors on the Board as well as the skills and qualifications of potential candidates that will best enhance the Board's effectiveness.

The Board recognizes that Board renewal is critical to performance and the impact of Board tenure on succession planning. Under the Company's constitution, at every annual general meeting one third of the Directors (except the Managing Director) must retire from office and are eligible for re-election at that meeting. The Directors to retire must be those who have been longest in office since their last election and, in any event, Directors cannot hold office for more than three years without submitting themselves for reelection. Re-appointment of Directors is not automatic.

Principle 3: Promote Ethical and Responsible Decision Making

Recommendation 3.1:

Companies should establish a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity, the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the reasonable expectations of their stakeholders and the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

Disclosure:

The Board has adopted a Code of Conduct for Directors to promote ethical and responsible decision making by Directors. The Code is based on a code of conduct for Directors prepared by the Australian Institute of Company Directors and embraces the values of honesty, integrity, enterprise, excellence, accountability, justice, independence and equality of shareholder opportunity.

The principles of the Code are:

  • A Director must act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company as a whole.

  • A Director has a duty to use due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office and exercising the powers attached to that office.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

Principle 8: Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly (continued)

These policies are to establish competitive remuneration, including performance incentives, consistent with long term development and success, to ensure remuneration is fair and reasonable, taking into account all relevant factors, and within appropriate controls or limits, ensure performance and remuneration are appropriately linked, that all remuneration packages are reviewed annually or on an ongoing basis in accordance with management's remuneration packages and that retirement benefits or termination payments (other than notice periods) will not be provided or agreed other than in exceptional circumstances.

A copy of the Remuneration Committee Charter is available on the Company’s website under Governance.

During the Reporting Period the Company did not publicly disclose its policy on prohibiting transactions in associated products which limit the risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity based remuneration schemes. However, the Company's position is that such transactions are prohibited.

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for the performance review process for both the Board and the Managing Director.

The Board undertakes an ongoing review in relation to its composition and skills mix of the Directors of the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated financial statements of Joyce Corporation Ltd (“the Company”) for the year ended 30 June 2012 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors of the Company dated 23 September 2012. Joyce Corporation Ltd is a Company incorporated in Australia and limited by shares which are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operation and principal activities of the Company and its controlled entities are described in note 6.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Joyce Corporation Ltd and its controlled subsidiaries (‘the Consolidated Entity’).

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001.

The Consolidated Entity has implemented the Corporations Amendment Regulations 2010 (No 6) regarding the requirement to disclose parent entity information as a note to the consolidated financial statements. Parent entity information is presented in note 33.

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial report of the Consolidated Entity complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 5.

(b) Principles of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Consolidated Entity controls another entity.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements."

The consolidation accounting method used for the consolidated financial statements that include the financial statements made up to the reporting date each year of the Company and its subsidiaries is disclosed under the note on 'Business Combinations' below. Consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity presented as those of a single economic entity. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 37

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(b) Principles of consolidation (continued)

All significant intra-Consolidated Entity balances and transactions, including income, expenses and dividends, are eliminated in full on consolidation. The results of the investees acquired or disposed of during the financial year are accounted for from the respective dates of acquisition or up to the dates of disposal. On disposal, the attributable amount of goodwill, if any, is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal.

Minority interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests held by persons outside the group, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c) Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values (at the date of exchange) of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Entity 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 accounting standards. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognised.

Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Consolidated Entity’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Consolidated Entity 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 a 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 Consolidated Entity of an acquiree’ 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 Consolidated Entity reports provisional amounts for the terms 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 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.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 38

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(d) Segment reporting

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

(e) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Consolidated Entity’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Consolidated Entity’s presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation, at year end exchange rates, of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available for sale financial assets are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

All companies of the Consolidated Entity have Australian Dollars as a functional currency.

(f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon completion of the service to customers.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

Franchise revenue

Revenue from franchising activities is recognised based on business written sales from franchised stores.

Rental revenue

Rental revenue is recognised monthly as defined in the relevant lease agreements.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 39

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(g) Income tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Tax Consolidation

Joyce Corporation Ltd and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the ‘stand-alone taxpayer’ approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity.

The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable by the group in proportion to their contribution to the group’s taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 40

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(h) Hire purchases and leases

Hire purchases and leases of property, plant and equipment where the Consolidated Entity, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short term and long term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Consolidated Entity as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Lease income from operating leases where the Consolidated Entity is a lessor is recognised as income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

(i) Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

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, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(k) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less a provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 41

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(k) Trade receivables (Continued)

The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in other expenses.

(l) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and in bringing them to their existing condition and location.

Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on a basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(m) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments.

(n) Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Consolidated Entity classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets.

The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Consolidated Entity’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Consolidated Entity were to sell other than an insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be tainted and reclassified as available-for-sale. Held-tomaturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.

(n) Investments and other financial assets (Continued)

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date. Investments are designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Consolidated Entity commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Consolidated Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as gains and losses from investment securities.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit and loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Consolidated Entity’s right to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

Impairment

The Consolidated Entity assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-forsale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income.

(n) Investments and other financial assets (Continued)

Financial Guarantees

Where material, financial guarantees issued, which requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are recognised as a financial liability at fair value on initial recognition.

The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue . Where the entity gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.

The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach. The probability has been based on:

  • the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;

  • the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; and

  • the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.

(o) Derivatives and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Consolidated Entity designates certain derivatives as either:

  • hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges),

  • hedges of the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges), or

  • hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedges).

The Consolidated Entity documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Consolidated Entity also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

(p) Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is calculated over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

  • Plant and equipment - 1 to 20 years;

  • Leased plant and equipment - over 5 to 6 years; and

  • Leasehold improvements – 3 to 20 years.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 44

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(p) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is the Consolidated Entity’s policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(q) Investment property

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes), is measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

(r) Intangible assets

Acquired both separately and from a business combination

Intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised at cost. Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the statement of comprehensive income through the ‘amortisation expenses’ line item.

Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalised and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which the expenditure is incurred intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and in the case of indefinite lived intangibles annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Consolidated Entity’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cashgenerating units represents the Consolidated Entity’s investment in each country of operation by each operating segment. Cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated is as follows:

  • Bedshed Franchising cash generating unit

  • Bedshed Claremont cash generating unit

  • Bedshed Joondalup cash generating unit

(ii) IT development and software

Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute to future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems. Costs capitalised include external direct costs of materials and service, direct payroll and payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over periods generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. IT development costs include only those costs directly attributable to the development phase and are only recognised following completion of technical feasibility and where the Consolidated Entity has an intention and ability to use the asset.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 45

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(s) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the reporting date which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 45 days of recognition.

(t) Provisions

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of Management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

(u) Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries and annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

(ii) Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

(iii) Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The Consolidated Entity recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Consolidated Entity recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(iv) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Consolidated Entity recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 46

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(v) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Bank loans are carried at amortised cost. Transaction costs are deducted against the outstanding principal amount at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(w) Convertible notes

Convertible notes are compound financial instruments with separate liability and equity components identified on initial recognition. Transaction costs are deducted against the liability component of these financial instruments at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(x) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

If the entity reacquires its own equity instruments, e.g. as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

(y) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at reporting date.

(z) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(aa) Comparatives

When required by applicable accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(bb) Rounding of Amounts

The Company has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in the financial report and directors' report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 47

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(cc) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

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

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

During the current year the Group adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory.

The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions. The following is an explanation of the impact the adoption of these standards and interpretations has had on the financial statements of Joyce Corporation Ltd.

Adoption of AASBs and improvements to AASBs 2011 – AASB 1054 and AASB 2011-1

The AASB has issued AASB 1054 Australian Additional Disclosures and AASB 2011-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Trans-Tasman Convergence Project and made several minor amendments to a number of AASBs. These standards eliminate a large portion of the differences between the Australian and New Zealand accounting standards and IFRS and retain only additional disclosures considered necessary. These changes also simplify some current disclosures for Australian entities and removes others.

Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Company

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been adopted early by the Company.

Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Company’s accounting policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Company’s financial statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not expect to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2013)

The AASB aims to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. The replacement standard (AASB 9) is being issued in phases. To date, the chapters dealing with recognition, classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities have been issued. These chapters are effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2013. Further chapters dealing with impairment methodology and hedge accounting are still being developed. Management have yet to assess the impact that this amendment is likely to have on the financial statements of the Company. However, they do not expect to implement the amendments until all chapters of AASB 9 have been published and they can comprehensively assess the impact of all changes.

Consolidation Standards

A package of consolidation standards encompassing AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements , AASB 11 Joint Venture Arrangements , AASB 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities and consequential amendments to AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , are effective for annual periods beginning, or after, 1 January 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these new and revised standards on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement

AASB 13 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard clarifies the definition of fair value and provides related guidance and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of this new standard.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 48

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (AASB 124 Amendments)

AASB 2011-4 makes amendments to AASB 124 Related Party Disclosure to achieve consistency with the international equivalent (which includes requirements to disclose aggregate (rather than individual) amounts of key management personnel compensation) and remove duplication with the Corporations Act 2011. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013. The Group’s management have yet to assess the impact of these amendments.

3. GOING CONCERN

At 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity has recorded a profit before tax of $4,584k for continuing operations and $4,689k after tax before including discontinued operations and reported an overall profit after tax of $3,035k with positive operating cash flows totalling $1,277k before franchisee legal settlement payments and store closure costs.

There were no breaches of bank lending covenants (refer Note 21) at reporting date and no breaches up to the date of this report.

Subsequent to the year end the Consolidated Entity has continued to service the loan facilities to the date of these financial statements in accordance with the terms of that facility. Existing working capital resources are expected to be sufficient to cover the Consolidated Entity’s funding requirements for a period of not less than twelve months from the date of these financial statements to the date of signature of the next financial statements.

The Directors have prepared a budget for the Consolidated Entity that indicates that it will be profitable for the year ending 30 June 2013.

Based on the Directors’ cash flow forecasts and the understanding that St George Bank will continue to provide the current loan facility to the Consolidated Entity and the Parent Entity, the Directors are satisfied that, the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate. These financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Consolidated Entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Consolidated Entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Consolidated Entity.

The Consolidated Entity makes occasional use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Consolidated Entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk.

Risk management is carried out by the CFO under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies and supervision covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Consolidated Entity makes purchases some of which are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, in the ordinary course of business. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

Management has a standard policy for dealing with foreign currency risk in the purchasing function of the Consolidated Entity in order to manage foreign exchange risk against the Consolidated Entity’s functional currency. Material purchase contracts which are denominated in foreign currency are regularly reviewed by management and when it is considered necessary the currency risk exposure may be managed via the use of foreign currency contracts. The current policy is to forward buy USD contracts equivalent to fifty percent of six months forward US dollar denominated orders.

The Consolidated Entity’s had no exposure to foreign currency risk with respect to the US Dollar at the reporting date or at 30 June 2011

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks

The Consolidated Entity's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Consolidated Entity to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Consolidated Entity to fair value interest rate risk. The Consolidated Entity policy is to manage both risks as appropriate in conjunction with considerations about minimising the Consolidated Entity’s liquidity risk (see below), the current state of the yield curve and expectations about interest rates in the medium term and the need for flexibility so as to minimise the Consolidated Entity’s interest expense.

  • (ii) The Commercial bill facility (fixed) debt attracts interest at a fixed annual interest rate to 31 March 2013 and the facility has a term which is approved to 30 June 2014. The facility has a secured deposit of $2.6 million netted off which accrues and interest income at 5.6% fixed until October 2012.

  • (iii) Bank guarantees attract a variable interest rate plus a line fee and have a term of 1 year from the first draw down date.

  • (iv) Convertible notes attracted a monthly in arrears interest of 8% fixed. The notes were all converted during the financial year to shares in Joyce Corporation Ltd at a rate of $0.30 per share.

An analysis by maturities is provided in (c) below.

The Consolidated Entity analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are modelled taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Consolidated Entity calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interestbearing positions.

Based on the various scenarios, the Consolidated Entity manages its cash flow interest rate risk adopting an appropriate mix of fixed versus variable rate debt and also an appropriate mix of debt maturities

to provide it with flexibility to repay debt as quickly as possible whilst having liquidity available to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

Consolidated Entity sensitivity

The major debt facility drawn at 30 June 2012 is a fixed interest rate (see above). Variable interest rates apply to the overdraft and cash and cash equivalents. On balances at 30 June 2012, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been nil higher/lower (2011 - $38,577 higher/lower), mainly as a result of a higher/lower interest expense arising from borrowings offset by lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Equity would have been nil higher/lower (2011 - $38,577 higher/lower) for the same reasons as above.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 51

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is limited to high credit quality financial institutions with which deposits are held and high credit quality wholesale customers with which the Consolidated Entity trades.

Credit risk is managed on a Consolidated Entity basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted. If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set internally. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by line management.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised in each applicable note. For wholesale customers without credit rating the Consolidated Entity generally retains title over the goods sold until full payment is received. For some trade receivables the Consolidated Entity may also obtain security in the form of guarantees, deeds of undertaking or letters of credit which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement. The Consolidated Entity does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. The Consolidated Entity trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not requested nor is it the Consolidated Entity's policy to securitise its trade and other receivables.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Consolidated Entity aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available and, where possible, with a variety of counterparties. Surplus funds are generally only invested in overnight deposits or used to repay debt.

Maturities of financial assets and financial liabilities

The tables below analyse the Consolidated Entity’s financial liabilities, net and gross settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(c) Liquidity risk (continued)

Financing arrangements

The Consolidated Entity had access to the following undrawn bank borrowing facilities at the reporting date:

Consolidated

30 June 2012
Consolidated 6,042 5,402 640

The Consolidated Entity had $640,000 of available overdraft facilities to manage its liquidity as at 30 June 2012 (2011: $58,000) represented by an $8,000,000 fixed facility and an overdraft facility of $642,000 offset by a secured deposit of $2,600,000. The consolidated entity had $875,022 cash at bank as at the reporting date excluding funds held in trust set out at note 11. In addition the Consolidated Entity had a net investment in inventories of $4,223,000 as at 30 June 2012 (2011: $4,275,000). The Consolidated Entity has additional non cash facilities for bank guarantees.

(d) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Entity for similar financial instruments. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the reporting date.

(e) Capital risk management

Management controls the capital of the Consolidated Entity in order to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that the Consolidated Entity can fund its operations and continue as a going concern. The Consolidated Entity’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. The Consolidated Entity is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than as disclosed in note 21 (f).

Management effectively manages the Consolidated Entity’s capital by assessing the Consolidated Entity’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Consolidated Entity since the prior year. This strategy is to ensure that the Consolidated Entity’s gearing ratio remain below 40%. The gearing ratio for the year ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 is as follows:

Note

The decrease in gearing ratio is attributable significantly to the issue of shares on conversion of $2,180,000 of convertible notes.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Consolidated Entity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Impairment testing of goodwill

The Consolidated Entity assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Consolidated Entity that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates. No impairment has been recognised in respect of goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: nil).

Valuation of investment property

The Consolidated Entity assesses investment property values at each reporting date by obtaining certificates of valuations from licensed valuers in accordance with applicable accounting standards. During the year ended 30 June 2012 the investment property values increased by $3,553,000 (2011: $102,544) and this value was bought to account to reflect the current market value of the properties in the financial statements.

Recognition of deferred taxation assets

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets at 30 June 2012 of $347,000 (2011: $1,070,000) which were not brought to account, associated with tax losses arising in Australia the benefits of which will only be realised if the conditions for deductibility are met.

Restructuring costs

The Consolidated Entity brought to account a provision associated with closure of some underperforming company owned stores. The remaining lease terms have reduced to allow commercial negotiations to be available for surrender of leases. A total closure provision of $950k (2011: nil) has been made in the reporting period. A review of operations was announced by the Board of Joyce Corporation Ltd which is expected to be completed in October 2012.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

(a) AASB 8 Operating segments

Operating Segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers (The Board of Directors) in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess their performance.

The operating businesses are organised and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.

The Consolidated Entity has the following three operating segments:

  • The Bedshed retail bedding franchise operation;

  • The operation of Consolidated Entity owned Bedshed stores in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland; and

  • The property in New South Wales which is leased under the sale agreement of the Foam Business.

Refer to note 9 for a description of discontinued operations. Transfer prices between operating segments are set at an arms-length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

8. INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Tax consolidation

Joyce Corporation Ltd and its 100% owned subsidiaries are a tax Consolidated Entity. Members of the Consolidated Entity have not entered into any tax sharing or tax funding arrangements. At the reporting date, the possibility that the head entity will default on its tax payment obligations is remote. The head entity of the tax Consolidated Entity is Joyce Corporation Ltd.

Measurement method adopted under UIG 1052 Tax Consolidation Accounting

The head entity and the controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Entity continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Consolidated Entity has applied the Consolidated Entity allocation approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax Consolidated Entity. The current and deferred tax amounts are measured in a systematic manner that is consistent with the broad principles in AASB 112 Income Taxes.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Entity.

Tax consolidation contributions/ (distributions)

The Consolidated Entity has recognised no consolidation contribution adjustments.

Taxation of financial arrangements (TOFA)

Legislation is in place which changes the tax treatment of financial arrangements including the tax treatment of hedging transactions. The Consolidated Entity has assessed the potential impact of these changes on the Consolidated Entity's tax position. No impact has been recognised and no adjustments have been made to the deferred tax and income tax balances at 30 June 2012 (2011: Nil).

The Consolidated Entity has deferred tax assets of $347,000 (2011: $1,070,000) which were not brought to account, associated with tax losses arising in Australia the benefits of which will only be realised if the conditions for deductibility set out in note 1(b) occur.

At 30 June 2012, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability (2011: Nil) for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain of the Consolidated Entity’s subsidiaries, as the Consolidated Entity has no liability for additional taxation should such amounts be remitted.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

(a) Plan to close some unprofitable Company owned stores

During the year ended 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Entity became committed to the closure of some unprofitable company owned stores. In consequence, the Directors have provisioned $950k for closure of some underperforming company owned stores.

(b) Analysis of loss for the year from discontinued operations

The combined results of the discontinued operations (i.e. all the stores committed to the closure) included in the statement of comprehensive income are set out below.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders (after deducting interest on the convertible redeemable preference shares) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year (adjusted for the effects of dilutive options and dilutive convertible non-cumulative redeemable preference shares).

The following reflects the income and share data used in the total operations basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

Net profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders from
continuing operations for basic earnings per share
Effect of dilutive equity instruments
Net profit attributable to equity holders from continuing
operations for diluted earnings per share
Profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders from discontinued
operations
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for basic
earnings per share
Effect of dilutive equity instruments
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for diluted
earnings per share
Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic
earnings per share including partly paid
Assuming Convertible Notes on issue of $2,180,000 are
converted to ordinary shares on their first anniversary at $0.30
cents per share. Conversion is not mandatory and after the first
anniversary Convertible Notes are converted at the an average
market price (VWAP) prior to notice of conversion. Where not
converted notes are redeemable at the end of five years from
issue
Adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares for
diluted earnings per share
Weighted average number of converted, lapsed or cancelled

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 day terms. A provision for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade receivable is impaired. An impairment provision of $20,248 (2011: $20,248) has been recognised by the Consolidated Entity.

At 30 June, the ageing analysis of current trade receivables is as follows:

0-30 31-60 61-90 61-90 +91 +91
Total Days Days Days Days Days Days

2011 Consolidated 1,186 510 380 244 - 32 20
  • Past due not impaired ('PDNI') Considered impaired ('CI')

Receivables past due but not considered impaired are: Consolidated Entity: $58,940 (2011: $276,000). Payment terms on these amounts have not been re-negotiated however credit has been stopped until full payment is made. Each operating unit has been in direct contact with the relevant debtor and is satisfied that payment will be received in full. Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these other balances will be received when due.

(b) Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security, nor is it the Consolidated Entity's policy to transfer (on-sell) receivables to special purpose entities.

(c) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk

The fair value model is applied to all investment properties. The investment property was valued by registered independent valuers as at 30 June 2012 and at 30 June 2011. The gross valuation at 30 June 2012 was $15,000,000. Joyce Corporation Ltd leases its property to Joyce Foam Pty Ltd (the Company which acquired the foam businesses in November 2005) at a rental less than the current market value.

An independent valuer arrived at the above property valuation after deducting an amount of $2,963,000 because the existing lease attracts rent at approximately 50% of current market rental yields and the lease has another 3.4 years to run.

The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit above is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a 5-year period with the period extending beyond existing budgets for the 2012/13 and 2013/14 financial years extrapolated using estimated growth rates. The cash flows are discounted using risk-adjusted pre-tax discount rates.

Joyce Corporation Ltd 2012 Annual Report I PAGE 68

19. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

(b) Impairment Disclosures (continued)

The following assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:

Sales Expense
Discount Growth Growth
Rate Rate Rate
Bedshed Franchising segment 12% 5% 3-10%
Bedshed Stores segment 12% 5-7% 3-4%

The Consolidated Entity’s value-in-use calculations incorporated a terminal value component beyond the 5 year projection period for both the Bedshed Franchising and Bedshed Stores operating segments. The principal assumption used to estimate the terminal value of each operating segment was a multiple of 3 times earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation for the year ended 30 June 2011.

There has been no impairment of Goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: Nil).

(c) Impact of possible changes in key assumptions

Sensitivity analysis is conducted on changes to discount factors and growth, which do not highlight any material impairment.
