OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to herein as the Group) consisting of Oldfields Holdings Limited and its controlled entities for the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

Directors

The following persons were directors of Oldfields Holdings Limited during or since the end of the financial year up to the date of this report:

  • Tony Joseph Grima (appointed 14/10/2013) William Lewis Timms

  • Stephen Charles Hooper Christopher Michael Giles (resigned 30/04/2014)

Principal Activities

The principal activities of the consolidated group during the financial year were:

  • ─ manufacturing, importing and marketing of paint brushes, paint rollers, painters tools and accessories;

  • ─ manufacturing and marketing garden sheds, outdoor storage systems, avaries and pet homes;

  • ─ manufacturing and marketing of scaffolding and related equipment; and

  • ─ hire of scaffolding and related products.

A large majority of our operations are conducted in Australia.

Significant Changes to Activities

There were no significant changes in the nature of the consolidated group's principal activities during the financial year.

Operating Results

The consolidated group revenue from continuing operations for the financial year ended 30 June 2014 was $27,230,905 (2013: $26,644,174) which was up 2.2% from prior year. The revenue increase was driven by both the scaffolding and paint equipment divisions and was primarily due to an increase in the building and construction industry which is expected to continue in 2015. The consolidated group net profit after tax was a loss of $2,575,835 (2013: profit of $4,639,752). The 2013 profit was attributable to other income of $5.5 million which related to the buy-back of senior debt. Gross profit (including depreciation and amortisation) decreased from 46.5% in 2013 to 44.8% in 2014 due to intense competition across all divisions, as well as cost increases from suppliers in Asia that were driven by labour increases in that region. The consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) excluding the one-off debt buy-back and gains/losses from the disposal of associated companies, decreased from $929,720 in 2013 to $777,396 in 2014.

While not to expectation, the result reflects investments made in improving in-store presence in key national hardware retailers, launching new products to the paint specialist market and increasing awareness to improve revenue generation and growth in the scaffold division. These initiatives will continue in 2015 and are expected to support future growth of the business.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $655,927 in 2014, compared to $1,064,247 in 2013. Improving operating cashflow continues to be a major focus for the group with increased emphasis on improving sales margins and reducing inventory levels in 2015.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

Review of Operations

(i) Consumer Products - Paint Equipment Division

Revenue for the paint equipment division increased compared with the prior year. While benefiting from the changing landscape in the hardware retail market, revenue in the more traditional paint specialist market has declined. As the overall market shifts and competition intensifies, there is a renewed focus on differentiated products to ensure key customers can compete with their competitors while still maintaining a point of difference. With such changes in the overall market and the resulting variation in customer mix, the paint equipment division has experienced added pressure to maintain gross margins.

As part of an ongoing review of operations, the Group disposed of it's remaining interest in the associated companies, PT Ace Oldfields, Enduring Enterprises and Honeytree and Partners, being the manufacturing arm of the paint equipment division. The Group is currently working towards formalising a strategic supplier agreement which will continue to provide market leadership into the future.

The paint equipment division has spent the last twelve months consolidating, upgrading and rationalising it's range of products with the process of re-branding and repackaging near completion. Improvements have also been made to ensure that the supply chain is efficient, customer expectations are met, lead times are improved and inventory controls are enhanced in order to satisfy growing demand. The division is now focused on innovation, becoming the brand of choice in the market, best in class customer service, and improving internal business processes. In addition, by capitalising on the experience of recent new staff appointments, this division is well positioned to grow in the coming year.

(ii) Consumer Products - Garden Sheds Division

The garden shed division declined in 2014 which was predominately in the domestic market. Revenue growth in international markets remained strong with continued focus on new opportunities to expand our product offering.

Efforts to grow domestically and generate additional revenue and profitability will continue in 2015. Potential growth opportunities are already being investigated which capitalise on relationships with customers of other divisions in order to further develop synergies across the group.

(iii) Scaffolding Division

A general increase in the building and construction industry supported the growth in the scaffold division in 2014 as revenues increased compared to the previous year. Despite a slight decrease in gross margins caused by intense competition, the scaffold division significantly improved it's EBITDA in 2014 through better labour utilisation on scaffolding services and other overhead reductions.

The scaffold division is currently in the process of consolidating and relocating a number of its branches in order to further reduce costs, improve efficiency levels, and be better positioned in areas of building and construction growth. In addition, newer buildings have been selected in highly populated areas to renew the division’s image, encourage growth, and enhance brand recognition for the Group.

The manufacturing operation in China continued to operate strongly during the year and will continue to support the expected growth of this division in 2015. International sales increased by 34% compared with the prior year, as customers in Japan and New Zealand expand. This is expected to continue in 2015 and new growth opportunities are also being investigated.

Financial Position

The net assets of the Group have decreased by $1,592,060 from $7,634,415 at 30 June 2013 to $6,042,355 at 30 June 2014. This decrease has largely resulted from the following factors:

  • ─ the disposal of the Group's interest in associated companies valued at $875,027 as at 30 June 2013; and

  • ─ a net loss from operations.

A key area of focus for 2015 will be to reduce inventory levels back to sustainable levels as well as a concentration on profitable growth opportunities to improve the net asset position of the Group.

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred during the financial year:

On 10 March 2014, the Group disposed it's interest in associated companies, being PT Ace Oldfields, Enduring Enterprises and Honeytree and Partners. Consideration received in relation to this sale was $827,932 and will be received in the form of an offset of trade payables owing to the associated companies over a period of approximately 12 months. The gain on disposal of these shares was $81,979. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR) was recycled through profit or loss on disposal of these investments. The amount recycled was a loss of $1,445,360 and hence the net disposal amounted to a loss of $1,363,381. Subsequent to year end, the Group entered into an arrangement with it's bank for the repayment of a portion of the proceeds on disposal of associated companies to commence from 1 January 2015. Repayments will be made in eight monthly instalments of $75,000.

Events after the Reporting Period

There have been no significant events after the end of the reporting period.

Environmental Issues

The Group’s operations are not subject to significant environmental regulation under the law of the Commonwealth and State. The economic entity has established procedures whereby compliance with existing environmental regulations and new regulations are monitored continually. This process includes procedures to be followed should an incident adversely impact the environment. The directors are not aware of any breaches during the period covered by this report.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES DIRECTORS' REPORT

Future Developments, Prospects and Business Strategies

Capitalising on the expected upturn in the building and construction industry continues to be a primary focus for the Group in 2015 with a concentration on sustainable and profitable growth across all divisions. The Group will continue to invest it's resources in ensuring that it is well positioned to benefit from the growth in this sector.

Over the last 12 months, the management team have recently revisited and realigned the Group’s strategic direction for the future. As part of this process, the Group’s mission statement has been remodelled, new key financial measures have been identified, and key strategies for growth have been developed.

In addition, four strategic pillars have been developed as part of the Group’s remodelled mission statement that aim to provide focus and direction going forward. These pillars are centered on;

  • ─ Building profitable growth and driving innovation to the market by;  Developing a new pipeline of business opportunities which equally grow revenue and margin levels;

  • Developing a new innovation process and investigating potential new product lines;

  • Expanding distribution networks in regional areas within the scaffold division;

  • Identifying and developing a concise plan to grow the garden sheds division;

  • Repositioning and strengthening the Oldfields brand; and

  • Expanding distribution into growing markets internationally across all divisions.

  • ─ Developing and investing in people and continuing to build a market leading culture by;

  • Incorporating the Group’s mission statement and strategic pillars into recruitment processes, training programs, performance management procedures, talent and succession plans and remuneration reviews;

  • Developing and renewing leadership capabilities across all divisions; and

  • The development and rollout of an employee engagement program which aims to improve productivity, inspire and motivate employees, and promote goal congruence.

  • ─ Improving on and ensuring that all areas of supply chain management are efficient by;

  • Ensuring adequate stock levels are maintained to meet customer demand and customer satisfaction levels remain high;

  • Reviewing and selecting key strategic suppliers;

  • Reviewing and negotiating prices in order to reduce inventory costs and improve margins;

  • Implementing sales and operational planning to optimise working capital and cash flow management;

  • Developing and implementing a process of benchmarking scaffold branches to drive improvements;

  • Continuing the review and optimising of scaffold branch locations; and

  • Developing and implementing ongoing efficiency and cost reduction programs.

  • ─ Improving mission-critical processes and systems by;  Identifying and improving key business processes and functions; and

  • Developing and implementing new reporting standards across all divisions.

Each of these pillars will be supported by financial and operational measures to track the Group’s progress of these initiatives and monitor their success. The management team and the Board are excited about the Group’s future prospects and feel confident that these initiatives will improve the group’s results in 2015 and beyond. Due to the present uncertainty in world markets, it is not possible at this stage to predict future results of these operations.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT

Remuneration policy

The remuneration policy of Oldfields Holdings Limited has been designed to align key management personnel (KMP) objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the consolidated group’s financial results. The Board of Oldfields Holdings Limited believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in it's ability to attract and retain the high-quality KMP to run and manage the consolidated group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the consolidated group is as follows:

  • ─ The remuneration policy is to be developed by the remuneration committee and approved by the Board after professional advice is sought from independent external consultants.

  • ─ KMP receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, and performance incentives.

  • ─ Performance incentives are generally only paid once predetermined key performance indicators (KPIs) have been met.

  • ─ The remuneration committee reviews KMP packages annually by reference to the consolidated group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria agreed biannually with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the consolidated group’s profits and shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the committee’s recommendations. Any change must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract high calibre executives and reward them for performance results leading to long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

KMP receive at a minimum, a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.25% (9.5% from 1 July 2014) of the individual's average weekly ordinary time earnings (AWOTE). Some individuals however, have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

Upon retirement, KMP are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement.

All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the company and expensed.

The Board's policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The remuneration committee determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Engagement of Remuneration Consultants

During the financial year, there were no consultants engaged by the remuneration committee to review the elements of KMP remuneration and provide recommendations.

Performance-based Remuneration

The KPIs are set annually, with consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically tailored to the area each individual is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for Group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Group and respective industry standards.

Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually, with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and deemed difficulty of the KPIs achieved. Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the remuneration committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the Group’s goals and shareholder wealth, before the KPIs are set for the following year.

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved, Oldfields Holdings Limited bases the assessment on audited figures, however, where the KPI involves comparison of the Group or a division within the Group to the market, independent reports are obtained from organisations such as Standard & Poors.

Employment Details of Members of Key Management Personnel

The following table provides employment details of persons who were, during the financial year, members of KMP of the consolidated group.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED ABN: 92 000 307 988 AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Oldfields Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities (the “Consolidated Group” or “Group”). The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Oldfields Holdings Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 August 2014 by the directors of the company.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group is a forprofit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Oldfields Holdings Limited and its Australian wholly-owned entities have entered into a deed of cross guarantee under which the company and it's subsidiaries guarantee the debts of each other.

Going Concern

As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, the group generated a loss after tax of $2,575,834 for the year ended 30 June 2014. The group also breached a banking covenant during the year for which a waiver was obtained. Subsequent to year end, the Group renegotiated its covenants and repayment requirements with it's bankers (refer note 19). The combination of these circumstances represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the group's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the group is unable to continue as a going concern.

Nevertheless, the Directors are confident that the group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial report for the following reasons:

  • The group anticipates revenue growth over the next 12 months and has already begun implementing a strategic plan to achieve these objectives;

  • Within the paint equipment division, inventory significantly increased during the year ensuring continuity of supply, particularly to a major customer undergoing strong growth. The projected return to normal inventory requirements over the coming year will free up working capital;

  • The sale of the investment in the associate, PT Ace Oldfields, was in consideration for inventory. Hence, as the inventory is sold down it will be ultimately converted into cash and will assist with working capital liquidity;

  • Revisions to arrangements with key suppliers and customers have been made to align terms of trade with the operating cycle of the group; and

  • The forecast for 2015 suggests cash flows from operations will be positive and that renegotiated covenant terms and repayments will be met.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of Oldfields Holdings Limited and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the Parent controls. The Parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided in Note 15.

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as ‘Non-controlling Interests’. The Group initially recognises noncontrolling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Business Combinations

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial instrument, are recognised as expenses in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement when incurred.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(a) Principles of Consolidation (continued)

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

(i) the consideration transferred;

(ii) any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and

(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall form the cost of the investment in the separate financial statements.

Fair value remeasurements in any pre-existing equity holdings are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such equity holdings had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit or loss.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than a 100% interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets (proportionate interest method). In such circumstances, the Group determines which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is stated in the respective notes to these financial statements disclosing the business combination.

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-controlling interests is determined using valuation techniques which make the maximum use of market information where available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests is recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investments in associates.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated to the Group's cash generating units or groups of cash generating units, representing the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored being not larger than an operating segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity disposed of.

Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of goodwill.

(b) Operating Segments

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

(c) Income Tax

The income tax expense/(income) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(income) and deferred tax expense/(income).

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities/(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss. Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. With respect to nondepreciable items of property, plant and equipment measured at fair value and items of investment property measured at fair value, the related deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is measured on the basis that the carrying amount of the asset will be recovered entirely through sale.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Tax consolidation

Oldfields Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity within 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 Taxation Office (ATO) that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2003. The tax consolidated group has also entered into 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 amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to their funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (d) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

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.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Dividends received from associates and joint venture entities are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

Revenue recognition relating to the provision of services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

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

(e) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(g) Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Refer to Note 1(r) for further discussion on the determination of impairment losses.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs.

(i) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(r) for details of impairment).

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Group includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

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 Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Leasehold improvements 20-33%
Plant and equipment 5-33%
Motor vehicles 18-20%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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 gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j) Intangibles Other than Goodwill

Patents and trademarks

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. They have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.

Research and development

Expenditure during the research phase of a project is recognised as an expense when incurred. Development costs are capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project is expected to deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably.

Capitalised development costs have a finite useful life and are amortised on a systematic basis based on the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

(k) Investments in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity but is not control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost (including transaction costs) and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate company. In addition, the Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate is included in the Group’s profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the investment includes, when applicable, goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition, whereby the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate exceeds the cost of investment, is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the Group will resume recognising its share of those profits once its share of the profits equals the share of the losses not recognised.

Details of the Group's investments in associates are shown at Note 15.

(l) Trade and Other Payables Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the entity that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. (m) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

(n) Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.

The Group’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The Group’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position.

Other long-term employee benefits

Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees.

Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.

The Group’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.

Termination benefits

When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of: (a) the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group recognises costs for restructuring pursuant to AASB 137: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and the costs include termination benefits. In either case, unless the number of employees affected is known, the obligation for termination benefits is measured on the basis of the number of employees expected to be affected. Termination benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the annual reporting period in which the benefits are recognised are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid. All other termination benefits are accounted for on the same basis as other long-term employee benefits.

(o) Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as noncurrent.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(p) Leases

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset (but not the legal ownership) are transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(q) Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

  • (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss.

  • (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 and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

  • (iv) Available-for-sale investments Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

They are subsequently measured at fair value with any remeasurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold after 12 months from the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.

(v) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(p) Financial Instruments (continued)

Derivative instruments

The Group designates certain derivatives as either: (i) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (ii) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedge). At the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the Group's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions is documented.

Assessments, 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 are also documented.

  • (i) Fair value hedge Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss, together with any changes in the fair value of hedged assets or liabilities that are attributable to the hedged risk.

(ii) Cash flow hedge The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred to a hedge reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve in equity are transferred to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Impairment

A financial asset (or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred are duly considered.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

(r) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Group measures some of it's assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable accounting standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e., the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at reporting date (i.e., the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payment made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(s) Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of preacquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use.

(t) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's functional currency.

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;

  • income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

(u) Issued Capital

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.

(v) Dividends

Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company.

(w) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Oldfields Holdings Limited, 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 financial year.

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 shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(x) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

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 ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

(y) Comparative Figures

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

Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in it's financial statements, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statement is presented.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(z) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Key estimates

(i) Impairment - general

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluating conditions and events specific to the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

(ii) Employee entitlement provisions - Long Service Leave

As discussed in note 1(m), the liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

(iii) Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(r). The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value-in use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of estimated future cash flows.

(iv) Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity considers it probably that future taxable benefits will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

(v) Derivatives

The Group uses valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of certain derivative financial instruments. Information on the key assumptions used in estimating the fair values of these instruments is found at note 31.

Key judgments

(i) Provision for impairment of receivables The provision for impairment of receivables assessment required a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of the receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors financial position.

(ii) Provision for impairment of inventories The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of the inventories, and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

(iii) Estimation of useful lives of assets The consolidated entity determined the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and definite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or down.

(aa) New and Amended Accounting Policies adopted by the Group

Consolidated financial statements

The Group adopted the following Australian Accounting Standards, together with the relevant consequential amendments arising from related Amending Standards, from the mandatory application date of 1 January 2013.

— AASB 10: Consolidated financial statements

AASB 10 provides a revised definition of ‘control’ and may result in an entity having to consolidate an investee that was not previously consolidated and/or deconsolidate an investee that was consolidated under the previous Accounting Pronouncements.

The first-time application of AASB 10 has not resulted in changes to the Group’s financial statements.

Employee benefits

The Group adopted AASB 119: Employee Benefits (September 2011) and AASB 2011-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) from the mandatory application date of 1 January 2013. The Group has applied these Standards retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108 and the transitional provisions of AASB 119.

Othan than additional disclosures, the adoption of these Standards has not resulted in a significant change in the Group’s financial statements.

Fair value measurement

The Group has applied AASB13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB13 from 1 July 2013. The standard provides a single robust measurement framework, with clear measurement objectives, for measuring fair value using the 'exit price' and provides guidance on measuring fair value when a market becomes less active. The 'highest and best use' approach is used to measure non-financial assets whereas liabilities are based on transfer vale. The standard requires increased disclosures where fair value is use.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(ab) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

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

  • AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017). The Standards will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and include revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments and simplified requirements for hedge accounting. The key changes made to the Standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income. AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items. Should the entity elect to change its hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of AASB 9, the application of such accounting would be largely prospective.

The adoption of AASB 9 is unlikely to have an impact on the Group’s financial statements.

  • AASB 2012–3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014). This Standard provides clarifying guidance relating to the offsetting of financial instruments, which is not expected to impact the Group’s financial statements.

  • — Interpretation 21: Levies (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014). Interpretation 21 clarifies the circumstances under which a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government should be recognised, and whether that liability should be recognised in full at a specific date or progressively over a period of time. This Interpretation is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

  • — AASB 2013–3: Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014). This Standard amends the disclosure requirements in AASB 136: Impairment of Assets pertaining to the use of fair value in impairment assessment and is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

  • — AASB 2013–4: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014). AASB 2013–4 makes amendments to AASB 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to permit the continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or regulations. This Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

  • — AASB 2013–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014). AASB 2013–5 amends AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements to define an "investment entity" and requires, with limited exceptions, that the subsidiaries of such entities be accounted for at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9 and not be consolidated. Additional disclosures are also required. As neither the parent nor its subsidiaries meet the definition of an investment entity, this Standard is not expected to significantly impact the Group’s financial statements.

(a) Provision For impairment of receivables Current trade and term receivables are non-interest bearing loans and generally on 30-day terms. A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade or term receivable is impaired. These amounts have been included within the distribution expenses item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.

Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties other than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 11. The class of assets described as Trade and Other Receivables is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.

The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

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.

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

Growth Rate
Excess of recoverable amount over
Year 1 Year 2-5 Terminal Value Discount Rate carrying amount
Consumer products segment 7.50% 3.00% 3.00% 19.53% 45,480
Scaffold division segment 6.10% 2.50% 3.00% 17.30% 550,132

Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets for each reporting segment. These budgets use historical weighted average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the period which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.

The calculation of value-in-use is most sensitive to changes in the discount rate. As disclosed in Note 1, the directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. Should these estimates not occur, the resulting goodwill and intangible assets may vary in carrying amount. If the discount rate was to increase by 3%, goodwill would not need to be impaired with all other assumptions remaining constant, for both the scaffold and consumer product segments.

(b) The Group has a finance facility in place with the bank until 31 August 2015 which includes normal commercial terms and conditions which are subject to such covenants as interest cover ratios; capital expenditure limits; gearing ratios; and the Group cannot create or acquire a new subsidiary unless that subsidiary becomes a party to the agreement.

During the year, the Group breached a covenant for which a waiver was received from the bank. Subsequent to year end, the Group negotiated a variation to it's banking facilities including having covenants reduced for a period of 9 months to 31 March 2015 and agreed to the repayment of a portion of the proceeds on disposal of the associate, PT Ace Oldfields, to commence from 1 January 2015. These repayments will be made in eight monthly instalments of $75,000. The carrying amount of borrowings which related to the breaches are as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

Note 19 Borrowings (continued)

(f) Deferred Senior Loan Note

  • On 21 December 2012, the Group's bankers swapped senior debt for a Deferred Senior Loan Note (DSLN) for $2,370,224 with a 10 year maturity. The main terms of the loan note are as follows:

  • The DSLN is secured against assets of the Group;

  • Interest will be capitalised and paid either on termination or early payment;

  • If the DSLN is repaid or partially repaid within the first 5 years, it will attract interest at 12% p.a;

  • If the DSLN is repaid or partially repaid after the first 5 years, the amount of interest paid will be dependent upon the share price of the Group, but capped at 12% p.a;

  • In the event that the weighted average share price of the company is the same or below the issue price of the capital raised at the time of the repayment after the first 5 years, the only payment due will be the original debt;

  • The DSLN noteholder will also be entitled to receive a payment to the equivalent value of any dividend payment made by the Group;

  • Entitlement to a dividend-triggered payment will be based on the face value of the DSLN divided by the issue price upon commencement of the facility agreement; and

  • Other normal conditions apply in respect to meeting gearing and interest cover ratios.

Accordingly, the DSLN has been identified as containing two main components: the core debt and a derivative element capturing the capital appreciation payment, interest and dividend-triggered entitlement. The core debt has been discounted by 12% to net present value over the expected term of the DSLN (being 10 years) and is included in non-current borrowings.

Provision for Employee Benefits

Provision for employee benefits represents amounts accrued for annual leave and long service leave.

The current portion for this provision includes the total amount accrued for annual leave entitlements and the amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have vested due to employees having completed the required period of service. Based on past experience, the Group does not expect the full amount of annual leave or long service leave balances classified as current liabilities to be settled within the next 12 months. However, these amounts must be classified as current liabilities since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer the settlement of these amounts in the event employees wish to use their leave entitlement.

The non-current portion for this provision includes amounts accrued for long service leave entitlements that have not yet vested in relation to those employees who have not yet completed the required period of service.

The probability of long service leave being taken is based on historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria relating to employee benefits have been included in Note 1(m).

(a) Forward exchange contracts

Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge cash flow risk associated with future transactions. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these derivatives are initially recognised directly in a hedge reserve in the equity section of the statement of financial position. At the date of the transaction, amounts included in the hedge reserve are transferred from equity and included in either the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or the cost of assets. The statement of changes in equity includes transfers to and from the hedge reserve.

(b) Derivative Element - Deferred Senior Loan Note (capital appreciation, interest and dividend-triggered entitlement)

The capital appreciation, interest and dividend-triggered entitlement components of the Deferred Senior Loan Note, the details of which have been set out in note 31, have been accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability on the basis that interest payments are indexed to the value of issued capital, but capped at 12% per annum. The assessed fair value of the derivative takes into account the expected cashflows incorporating the term (10 years) and discount rate used (12%)

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding-up of the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. At the shareholders' meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

  • (e) Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio, generate long-term shareholder value and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital include ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

The Group is subject to financing covenants as detailed in Note 19. The Group breached a covenant during the year, for which a waiver was received from the bank. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group'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 Group since the prior year. This strategy is to identify opportunities to reduce the Group's gearing ratio. The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013 are as follows:

The property leases are non-cancellable leases with 1-5 year terms, with rent payable monthly in advance. Contingent rental provisions within the lease agreement require that minimum lease payments shall be increased by the lower of the change in the consumer price index or 3-5% per annum. Options exist to renew certain leases at the end of the term for an additional term of 1-5 years.

Note 25 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

The Group does not have any significant contingent liabilities or contingent assets as 30 June 2014 or 30 June 2013.

Note 26 Operating Segments

General Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the Group's operations inherently have notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria. Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:

  • the products sold and/or services provided by the segment;

  • — the manufacturing process;

  • the type or class of customer for the products or service;

  • the distribution method; and

  • — any external regulatory requirements.

Types of products and services by segment (i) Consumer Products The consumer products segment manufactures and markets paint brushes, paint rollers, painters tools, Treco garden sheds, outdoor storage systems, aviaries and pet homes. (ii) Scaffolding The scaffolding segment manufactures and markets scaffolding and related equipment. In addition, this segment is engaged in hiring scaffolding related products to the building and construction industry.

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments (a) Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

(b) Inter-segment transactions

All inter-segment transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements.

Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segment's overall proportion of revenue generation within the Group. The Board of Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost recoveries. Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If intersegment loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates. This policy represents a departure from that applied to the statutory financial statements.

(c) Segment assets Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of the economic value from the asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location. (d) Segment liabilities Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Financial risk management policies

The Board of Directors are responsible for managing financial risk policies and exposures of the Group. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to commodity price risk, counterparty credit risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the consolidated group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. This includes the review of the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Specific financial risk exposures and management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. There have been no substantive changes in the types of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board’s objectives, policies and processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

(a) Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits and monitoring of the financial stability of significant customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the division within the Group, credit terms are generally 30 to 45 days from the invoice date.

Credit Risk Exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period, excluding the value of any collateral or other security held is equivalent to the carrying amount and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position. Credit risk also arises through the provision of financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries.

Collateral held by the Group securing receivables is detailed in Note 11(c).

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of Trade and Other Receivables is provided in Note 11.

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed at Note 11.

  • (b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

  • preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;

  • monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

  • maintaining a reputable credit profile; and

  • managing credit risk related to financial assets.

The table below reflects an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. The bank does however maintain the right to review the facilities annually with the next annual review date being August 2015.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and do not reflect management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

Certain financial assets have been pledged as security for debt and their realisation into cash may be restricted subject to terms and conditions attached to the relevant debt contracts. Refer to Note 19(c) for further details.

In the above table, the derivative element of the DSLN has been shown at face value due to significant uncertainty regarding the capital appreciation, interest and dividendtriggered entitlement, as disclosed in note 19, within the terms and conditions of the instrument without consideration for future cash outflows of interest.

  • (c) Market risk

  • i. Interest rate risk

  • Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.

Interest rate risk is managed using a mix of fixed and floating rate debt.

  • ii. Foreign exchange risk

The board and senior management regularly monitor foreign currency movements and has undertaken to use hedging contracts where appropriate to the value of up to 100% of its US dollar requirements over a maximum 6 week period.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates, exchange rates and commodity and equity prices. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

Fair Values

Fair value estimation

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying amounts as presented in the statement of financial position. Refer to Note 31 for detailed disclosures regarding the fair value measurement of the group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

Differences between fair values and carrying amounts of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the Group. Most of these instruments, which are carried at amortised cost (ie term receivables, held-to-maturity assets, loan liabilities), are to be held until maturity and therefore the fair value figures calculated bear little relevance to the Group.

Note 31 Fair Value Measurements

The Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition: — derivative financial instruments;

The Group does not subsequently measure any liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

  • (a) Fair value hierarchy AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in Measurements based on inputs other than quoted Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. entity can access at the measurement date. asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.

Valuation techniques

The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:

  • Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

  • Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.

  • ● Cost approach: valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data are not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.

There were no transfers between levels for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the reporting period (2013: no transfers).

(b) Valuation techniques and inputs used to measure Level 2 fair values

The forward exchange derivative liability of $13,353 (2013: 5,604) has been valued using Level 2 inputs by reference to quoted market prices in active markets.

The derivative element of the DSLN of $1,909,183 (2013: 1,704,628) has been valued using Level 2 inputs which are included in the terms and conditions of this instrument. The main terms of the loan note are as follows:

  • The DSLN is secured against assets of the Group;

  • Interest will be capitalised and paid either on termination or early payment;

  • If the DSLN is repaid or partially repaid within the first 5 years, it will attract interest at 12% p.a;

  • If the DSLN is repaid or partially repaid after the first 5 years, the amount of interest paid will be dependent upon the share price of the Group, but capped at 12% p.a;

  • In the event that the weighted average share price of the company is the same or below the issue price of the capital raised at the time of the repayment after the first 5 years, the only payment due will be the original debt;

  • The DSLN noteholder will also be entitled to receive a payment to the equivalent value of any dividend payment made by the Group;

  • Entitlement to a dividend-triggered payment will be based on the face value of the DSLN divided by the issue price upon commencement of the facility agreement; and

  • Other normal conditions apply in respect to meeting gearing and interest cover ratios.

Accordingly, the DSLN has been identified as containing two main components: the core debt and a derivative element capturing the capital appreciation payment, interest and dividend-triggered entitlement. The core debt has been discounted by 12% to net present value over the expected term of the DSLN (being 10 years) and is included in non-current borrowings. The assessed value of the derivative takes into account the expected cashflows incorporating the term (10 years) and discount rate 12%.

There were no changes during the period in the valuation techniques used by the Group to determine Level 2 fair values.

Due to their short-term natures, the carrying amounts of current receivables, current trade and other payables and current interest bearing liabilities is assumed to approximate their fair value.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the members of Oldfields Holdings Limited

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Oldfields Holdings Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards .

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Oldfields Holdings Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

46

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the financial report of Oldfields Holdings Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • (i) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and

  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Emphasis of Matter

Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $2,575,834 for the year ended 30 June 2014 and breached a loan covenant. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the consolidated entity to continue as a going concern, and therefore the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 5 to 7 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2014. The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 . Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Oldfields Holdings Limited for the year ended 30 June 2014 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Given the size and specific circumstances of Oldfields Holdings Limited the Board recognises that some of the best practice recommendations are not suited to obtaining the best shareholder outcomes at the present time. This situation is monitored by the Board and the recommendations will be adopted as and when the Group’s circumstances allow.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 1. LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT & OVERSIGHT

Recommendation 1.1 – Establish functions reserved for the board and for senior management and disclose those functions.

The board of directors are accountable to the shareholders for the performance of the Group. The board sets the strategic direction and delegate’s responsibility for the management of the Group to the chief executive officer.

A copy of the Board Charter, which promotes a culture within the Group of accountability, integrity and transparency, is available from the Group’s website.

Each board member must, at all times, act honestly, fairly and diligently in all respects in accordance with the Group’s Code of Conduct and all laws that apply to the Group.

Key matters reserved for the board include:

  • Oversight of the Group, including its control, accountability and compliance systems;

  • Appointment, monitoring, managing performance and if necessary removal of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and company secretary;

  • Input, assessment, appraisal and final approval of management’s development of corporate strategy and performance objectives;

  • Monitoring risk management;

  • Approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and acquisitions and divestitures;

  • Approval and monitoring financial and other reporting;

  • Ensuring the market and shareholders are fully informed of material developments; and

  • Recognising the legitimate interests of stakeholders.

The expectations of directors are outlined in a formal Letter of Appointment which details the term of appointment, fees, power and duties and other information pertinent to their roles.

Responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Group and its operations is delegated to senior executive management. The expectations of senior executive management are outlined in Board decisions which are communicated to the chief executive officer and recorded in the board minutes and also in the position descriptions and KPI’s for each senior executive role.

The board holds a minimum of six formal meetings a year, but usually ten. Additional meetings are held as required.

Details of current members of the board are disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

Recommendation 1.2 – Disclose the process for evaluation of senior executives.

Overall performance is reviewed by the particular senior executive’s direct supervisor and ultimately by the chief executive officer and/or board of directors.

Recommendation 1.3 – Provide information indicated in the Guide to reporting on Principle 1.

  • There are no departures from Recommendations 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3;

  • Senior executive performance evaluations have taken place during the reporting period as detailed in Recommendation 1.2.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 02 000 307 988

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 2. STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE

The board currently has three directors, comprising two non-executive directors, including the chairman, and one executive director.

The board has adopted the following principles:

  • The same individual should not exercise the roles of chairman and chief executive officer;

  • The board should not comprise a majority of executive directors; and

  • The board should comprise persons with a broad range of skills and experience appropriate to the needs of the Group.

Recommendation 2.1 – Majority of the board should be independent directors.

Independent directors are those who are independent 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 exercise of their unfettered and independent judgment.

In assessing the independence of directors, an independent director is a non-executive director and:

  • Is not a substantial shareholder, as defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act, of the Group or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Group;

  • Has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Group or another group member, and there has been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the board;

  • Has not within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Group or another group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; and

  • Is not a material supplier or customer of the Group or other group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

At the date of this report there were no independent directors.

The following directors do not meet the independence criteria listed above:

  • William Lewis Timms: appointed 18[th] December 2009, currently a non-executive director and substantial shareholder;

  • Christopher Giles: resigned 30 April 2014, previously an executive director and shareholder;

  • Tony Joseph Grima: appointed 14 October 2013, currently an executive director and shareholder; and

  • Stephen Charles Hooper: appointed 23 May 2013, currently a non-executive director and shareholder.

The board manages the risk of having a majority of non-independent directors through restrictions on trading in shares, restrictions on related party transactions, a close relationship with the principal provider of debt funding and a strong independent auditor with a focus on controls.

Recommendation 2.2 – The chair should be an independent director.

The current chairman, William Lewis Timms is not an independent director.

Recommendation 2.3 – The chairman and the CEO should not be the same person.

The duties and responsibilities of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer are separate and each position is held by a different individual.

Recommendation 2.4 – The board should establish a Nomination Committee.

Given the size and requirements of the Group, the board has decided that a nomination committee is not required at this point in time. At present all members of the board consider the composition of the board and appointment of new directors.

Recommendation 2.5 – Disclose the process for evaluation of the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.

The board has undergone a significant change in composition during the reporting period and has not completed a formal evaluation process within that period. The chairman performs an informal evaluation of individual directors and also of each board meeting.

Principle 4. THE BOARD SAFEGUARDS THE INTEGRITY OF FINANCIAL REPORTING

The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer state, in writing, to the board that the Group’s financial reports present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Group’s financial position and operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards.

Recommendation 4.1 – the board should establish an audit committee.

The board has an audit committee, which:

  • Has two members who are non-executive directors;

  • Has a written charter which can be obtained from the Corporate Governance section of the Group’s website; and

  • Includes members who are all financially literate.

Details of the members are disclosed in the Director’s Report.

The board recognises that an independent audit committee is an important feature of good corporate governance.

Recommendation 4.2 – The audit committee should be structured so that it consists only of non-executive directors, consists of a majority of independent directors, is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board, and has at least three members.

The audit committee:

  • consists only of non-executive directors, however all directors are entitled to receive the papers of the committee and to attend meetings of the committee and to meet with the auditors;

  • is chaired by an independent chairman, who is not chair of the board;

  • has two members. Given the size and structure of the board, as discussed in Recommendation 2.1, the board feels that two members both of whom are financially literate, is sufficient at this time.

The risk with a small committee is that the members will lack the diversity to raise and recognise issues. Risk is managed through specific working arrangements with the auditors having access to the full board at any time upon their request and through ensuring that the chairman of the audit committee is a well-qualified independent director. It is intended to review this arrangement and adopt the recommended practice if and when the board composition changes.

Recommendation 4.3 – Audit committee should have a formal charter.

The audit committee has a formal charter, the key elements of the charter are:

  • Role of the committee;

  • Membership;

  • Meetings;

  • Responsibilities;

  • Authority;

  • Independence; and

  • Non-audit work.

The board and audit committee closely monitor the independence of the external auditor. The audit committee meets a minimum of twice a year. The committee also meets in private, with management without the external auditor and, at a separate time, with the external auditor without management.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 02 000 307 988

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Recommendation 4.4 - Provide information recommended in the Guide on Principal 4.

The members of the audit committee are:

  • Stephen Charles Hooper; and

  • William Lewis Timms (Chairman).

The details of the qualifications of the audit committee members are disclosed in the Directors’ Report.

The details of the number of audit committee meetings held are contained in the Directors’ Report.

Departures from recommendations included in Principle 4 have been disclosed in the discussion of the relevant recommendations.

Principle 5. THE BOARD MAKES TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

Recommendation 5.1 – Establish policy on ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

The Group has established procedures to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rules which require that when an entity becomes aware of any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity’s securities, the entity must immediately tell ASX that information.

A Continuous Disclosure Policy and Procedure has been prepared and is available from the Corporate Governance section of the Group’s website.

Recommendation 5.2 - Provide information recommended in the Guide on Principal 5.

The information is provided above.

Principle 6. RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Recommendation 6.1 – Companies should design a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging their participation at general meetings and disclose their policy or a summary of that policy.

The Group has developed and implemented a shareholder communication strategy. The Group promotes effective communication with shareholders and encourages effective participation at the Group’s general meetings.

Shareholders and other parties will be able to access the following information from the Group’s website:

  • Copies of all announcements given to the ASX;

  • Press releases and copies of letters to shareholders;

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Principle 7. RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK

Recommendation 7.1 – Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a summary of those policies.

The board recognises that there are a number of complex operational, commercial, financial and legal risks and has in place procedures to safeguard the Group’s assets and interests.

A Work Health and Safety Committee has been established to monitor and recommend changes to safe working practices and a safe working environment. The chairman is not a director, and the committee comprises the managing director, senior executive officers and employee representatives.

The board has developed a risk management policy the purpose of which is:

  • Identify, access, monitor and manage risk;

  • Inform investors of material changes to the Group’s risk profile;

  • Enhance the environment for capitalising on value creation opportunities;

  • Ensure compliance with the Corporations Act;

  • Consider the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders;

  • The measures and procedures in place to comply with these regulations; and

  • How compliance with those measures and procedures will be monitored.

  • A summary of these policies is contained in the Risk Management Statement which is disclosed on the Oldfields website.

Recommendation 7.2 – The board should require management to design and implement the risk management and internal control system to manage the Group's material business risks and report to it on whether those risks are being managed effectively. The board should disclose that management has reported to it as to the effectiveness of the Group's management of its material business risks.

The Group’s risk management policy is designed and implemented by the board of directors’ which meet regularly to identify all major risks, ensure appropriate risk management plans are in place and to monitor the effectiveness of the implementation of the risk management plans.

The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer are required to state in writing to the board that the Group’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively and efficiently in all material aspects.

In March 2011, the board changed its formal reporting requirement such that each line of business and the corporate head office are required to disclose to the board at each regular meeting a statement regarding the level and nature of the key risks facing the business.

Recommendation 7.3 – The board should disclose whether it has received assurance from the chief executive officer (or equivalent) and the chief financial officer (or equivalent) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Written declarations are provided each year by the CEO, CFO and company secretary to the board, stating that the Group’s financial reports are based on a sound system of risk oversight and management and internal control. These statements are discussed by the board with the auditor.

Recommendation 7.4 - Provide information recommended in the Guide on Principal 7.

  • The board has received written declarations under Recommendation 7.2;

  • The board has received written declarations under Recommendation 7.3;

  • • The Risk Management Policy is available on the Group website.

RISK MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

1. Introduction

This statement provides an overview of the Group's risk management policies and internal compliance and control systems in accordance with Principle 7 of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance.

2. Responsibility

The board of directors are responsible for oversight on a regular basis of the Group's procedures and risk management policies. The responsibility of the board is codified under the Board Charter, which is available on the Group’s website. The Group also has an audit committee, the responsibilities of which are documented in the Audit Committee Charter which is also available on the Group’s website.

3. Risk Management Monitoring

The board has implemented a combination of internal policies and procedures and use of external audits to monitor risk management and its effectiveness.

3.1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's)

The board has implemented risk management policies covering areas of business risk such as:

  • Work health and safety;

  • Finance and treasury;

  • Human resources;

  • Asset protection (insurance); and

  • Codes of conduct.

The policies referred to are regularly reviewed and an internal mechanism exists whereby the board and committee members have access to these reports on an internal intranet site. The board manages these risks appropriately with reference to identification, implementation and review of these risks and procedures.

3.2. External Audits

The external audit of the Group is conducted annually. There is also a formal review at least once every year. Both the audit and review are conducted by an external auditor.

The Group has a Work Health and Safety Committee which has received training and certification by external OH&S providers.

The Group engages with qualified external advisors annually in relation to asset protection. Where possible the board adopts the most practical and affordable insurance policies suitable to protect major assets of the Group.

In general an external qualified auditor and or valuers are engaged by the board in determining large asset values on acquisition of assets. An external valuation is obtained to determine and verify carrying values of investment property by an external independent registered property valuer at least every three years.

3.3. Risk Management Statements

The integrity of the Group's financial reports relies on sound business and risk control systems.

Annually, the chief executive officer (CEO) and the chief financial officer (CFO) are required to sign a Risk Management Statement that is provided to the audit committee in writing.

The CEO and CFO sign a statement regarding the adequacy of financial controls in accordance with section 295a of the Corporations Act 2001.

The board requires management to report on the key business risks for each area of the business at each board meeting.

3.4 Internal Audit

Given the Group's size, an internal auditor is not practical. In addition, the presence of an executive director on the board allows for detailed oversight of risks within each business by managers who are familiar with the risk environment but not directly involved in the management of that particular business.

OLDFIELDS HOLDINGS LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ABN 02 000 307 988

RISK MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

3.5 External Covenants

The Group has voluntarily associated itself with the following self-regulated authorities:

  • WGE (Workplace Gender Equality Act): The Group reports annually on targets and policy to an external agency in regards to Equal Opportunity Guidelines and Policy within the work force. The board receives and reviews this annually; and

  • Australian Packaging Covenant: The Group sets targets to reduce packaging waste and environmental impact of packaging waste. Targets are set and guidelines adopted and where possible administered by management. The board reviews these targets annually.

The Group has also entered into an agreement with its principal lender (Westpac Banking Corporation) which provides external overview of financial risks by a representative of the bank.

4. Formal Risk Management Practices

The Group operates a formal process for risk management which includes:

  • Risk identification;

  • Risk analysis;

  • Risk evaluation;

  • Risk mitigation;

  • Risk monitoring and reporting; and

  • • Risk communication.

The risk management process meets appropriate professional standards and is reviewed annually by the board of directors. The process meets, but is not limited to the requirements of Principle 7 of the ASX Principles for Good Corporate Governance.

5. Risk Reporting and Communication

Risks are reported and their monitoring and management are communicated in accordance with the diagram below:

Material Risks General Reporting Accountabilities
Board of Directors
Direct risk response or accept material
risk
Review and approve risk mitigation
strategies or accept risk
Oversight of framework and sufficiency of
reporting
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Implement risk response or escalate to
board of directors
Review and approve risk reporting and
mitigation strategies
Oversight of corporate risks and adequacy

summary reporting
Implement and monitor ERM framework
and ERM system
Finance Department
Identify and report material risks as they
arise
Prepare risk assessments in accordance
with ERM framework
Operationally manage risks and escalate
issues

Communication

Effective risk management is reliant on the timely and open communication of actual or potential risk events across the organisation. Free and frank communication is at the heart of the Group's risk management approach, and where the processes and accountabilities described in these standards may not support a suitably rapid response to any risk, then communication should be undertaken using whatever means to achieve the best outcome for the Group.

For the avoidance of doubt, Oldfields Holdings Limited has a policy of ‘not shooting the messenger’ and encourages all staff to report risks of which they are aware.
