The tables above may be aggregated to arrive at the aggregate amount of each element of remuneration of each Key Management Personnel paid or payable by the Consolidated Entity (ie. Queste and Orion) during the financial year.

On 1 June 2015, Orion subsidiary, Silver Sands Developments Pty Ltd (SSD) entered into a fixed term standard form residential tenancy agreement with Orion (and Queste) Director, Farooq Khan, to rent out Orion’s Property held for Development or Resale. The lease is for a term of 12 months with the monthly rental being $3,683.

(6) Other Benefits Provided to Key Management Personnel

No Key Management Personnel has during or since the end of the financial year, received or become entitled to receive a benefit, other than a remuneration benefit as disclosed above, by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related entity with the Director or with a firm of which he is a member, or with a Company in which he has a substantial interest.

(7) Voting and Comments on the Remuneration Report at the 2014 AGM

At the Company’s 2014 AGM, a resolution to adopt the 2014 Remuneration Report was not passed by a majority of shareholders.[14] This constituted the Company's "second strike" under the executive remuneration related provisions of the Corporations Act (the Company having received its "first strike" at the 2013 AGM).

As required by the Corporations Act, a resolution to hold fresh elections for directors at a special meeting was put to the vote at the 2014 AGM, however, this ordinary resolution was not passed.

The Board has reviewed the Company’s remuneration policy and considered feedback from relevant stakeholders and believes that the Company’s remuneration structure and practices are appropriate, for the reasons detailed in this Remuneration Report.

This concludes the audited Remuneration Report.

30 JUNE 2015

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2015

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The financial statement includes the financial statements for the Consolidated Entity consisting of Queste Communications Ltd and its subsidiaries. Queste Communications Ltd is a company limited by shares, incorporated in Western Australia, Australia and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ).

1.1. Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australia Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), as appropriate for for-profit entities.

Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity, Queste Communications Ltd, also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ( IASB ).

Reporting Basis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

1.2. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary of Queste Communications Ltd as at 30 June 2014 and the results of its subsidiary for the year then ended. Queste Communications Ltd and its subsidiary are referred to in this financial statement as the Consolidated Entity.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Information on the controlled entity is contained in Note 22 to the financial statements.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Consolidated Entity. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

All controlled entities have a June financial year-end. All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

The Consolidated Entity treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Consolidated Entity. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of

the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Queste Communications Ltd.

Changes in Ownership Interests

When the Consolidated Entity ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Consolidated Entity has directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

1.3. Investments in Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Consolidated Entity has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. On initial recognition investment in associates are recognised at cost, for investments which were classified as fair value through profit or loss, any gains or losses previously recognised are reversed through profit or loss. Under this method, the Consolidated Entity’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates are recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative postacquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment (refer Note 11).

Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the Company’s Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Consolidated Entity’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Consolidated Entity and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity. All associated entities have a June financial year-end.

1.4. Operating Segment

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.

1.5. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax ( GST ) except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Sale of Goods and Disposal of Assets

Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets is recognised when the Consolidated Entity has passed control of the goods or other assets to the buyer.

Contributions of Assets

Revenue arising from the contribution of assets is recognised when the Consolidated Entity gains control of the asset or the right to receive the contribution.

Interest Revenue

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

Dividend Revenue

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. The Consolidated Entity brings dividend revenue to account on the applicable ex-dividend entitlement date.

Other Revenues

Consolidated Entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

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

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

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity.

1.7. 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 Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

1.8. Employee Benefits

Other revenues are recognised on a receipts basis.

Short-term obligations

1.6. Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the notional income tax rate for each taxing jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses (if applicable).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each taxing jurisdiction. The relevant tax rates are applied to the cumulative amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. The amount of deferred tax assets benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future, is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the

Provision is made for the Consolidated Entity’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the Balance Date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related oncosts. Employee benefits payable later than one year from the Balance Date have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Employer superannuation contributions are made by the Consolidated Entity in accordance with statutory obligations and are charged as an expense when incurred.

Other long-term employee benefit obligations

The liability for long-service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.

1.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts (if any) are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2015

1.10. Receivables

Trade and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any provision for doubtful debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when considered non-recoverable.

1.11. Dividends Policy

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

1.12. Investments and Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management and within the requirements of AASB 139: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise.

Available for sale financial assets

Available for sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other category. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these assets are recognised in equity in the period in which they arise.

purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the Balance Date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques, including but not limited to recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The Consolidated Entity may use a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each Balance Date. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for other financial instruments.

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

The Consolidated Entity’s investment portfolio (comprising listed and unlisted securities) is accounted for as a “financial assets at fair value through profit and loss” and is carried at fair value based on the quoted last bid prices at the reporting date (refer Note 7).

1.14. Property held for Resale

Property held for development and sale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, borrowing costs and holding costs until completion of development. Finance costs and holding charges incurred after development are expensed. Profits are brought to account on the signing of an unconditional contract of sale.

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 stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss.

The Consolidated Entity’s investment portfolio (comprising listed and unlisted securities) is accounted for as “financial assets at fair value through profit and loss”.

1.13. Fair value Estimation

1.15. Property, Plant and Equipment

All plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Freehold land is not depreciated. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land is recognised, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss. It is shown at fair value, based on periodic valuations by external independent valuers.

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 assets’ employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value in determining recoverable amount.

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

ANNUAL REPORT | 22

QUESTE COMMUNICATIONS LTD A.B.N. 58 081 688 164

30 JUNE 2015

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2015

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

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

Class of Fixed Asset Rate Method
Buildings 7.5% Diminishing Value
Plant and Equipment 5-75% Diminishing Value
Leasehold Improvements 7.5-15% Diminishing Value

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each Balance Date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the profit and loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

1.16. Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the profit or loss. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.20. Earnings Per Share

Basic Earnings per share

Is determined by dividing the operating result after income tax by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the financial period.

Diluted Earnings per share

Adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share by taking into account amounts unpaid on ordinary shares and any reduction in earnings per share that will probably arise from the exercise of options outstanding during the financial period.

1.21. Inventories

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. They include the transfer from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges relating to purchases of raw materials. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Land held for resale/capitalisation of borrowing costs Land held for resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition, and development and borrowing costs during development. When development is completed borrowing costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.

Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale are those costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the acquisition and development of the land had not been made. Borrowing costs incurred while active development is interrupted for extended periods are recognised as expenses.

1.17. Payables

1.22. Leases

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Consolidated Entity prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

1.18. Provisions

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

1.19. 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. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options, for the acquisition of a business, are included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.

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

1.23. Intangible Assets

The intangible assets acquired in a business combination are initially measured at its purchase price as its fair value at the acquisition date. The revaluation method states that after the initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of revaluations under AASB 138: Intangible Assets, fair value shall be determined by reference to an active market. Revaluations shall be made with such regularity that at the end of the reporting period the carrying amount of the asset does not differ materially from its fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2015

1.24. Biological Assets

Biological assets are initially, and subsequent to initial recognition, measured at their fair value less any estimated point-of-sale costs. Gains or losses arising on initial or subsequent recognition are accounted for via the profit or loss for the period in which the gain or loss arises. Agricultural produce harvested from the biological assets shall be measured at its fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs at the point of harvest.

1.25. Comparative Figures

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

1.26. Critical accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires Directors to make judgements and estimates and form assumptions that affect how certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and equity are reported. At each reporting period, the Directors evaluate their judgements and estimates based on historical experience and on other various factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities (that are not readily apparent from other sources, such as independent valuations). Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Non-current assets estimated at fair value

The Consolidated Entity carries its freehold land at fair value, with changes in the fair values recognised in equity. It also carries inventory (land held for development and resale) and olive trees at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Independent valuations are obtained for these non-current assets at least annually.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Consolidated Entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations, market, economic, legal environment or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

Property, Plant & Equipment – Impairment Assessment In assessing the recoverable amount of the groups farm property, plant and equipment, management monitors the worldwide olive oil prices annually in determining if the Gingin olives should be harvested. As such the property, plant and equipment is carried at its written down value and continues to be depreciated as it is in a condition to be used to generate economic benefits to the group at such time as required and the assets are maintained in good working condition therefore their recoverable amount has been assessed to be in excess of their carrying values at reporting date.

Impairment
The new impairment model in AASB 9 is now based on an ‘expected loss’

A complex three stage model applies to debt instruments at amortised
cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income for recognising
impairment losses.
A simplified impairment model applies to trade receivables and lease
receivables with maturities that are less than 12 months. For trade

The provision for annual leave and long service leave is presented as current since the Consolidated Entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these employee benefits. Long service leave covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances.

Based on past experience, the employees have never taken the full amount of long service leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months:

(a) Ordinary shares

At any meeting, each shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney, or representative has one vote for each fully paid ordinary share held either upon a show of hands or by a poll. Holders of partly paid ordinary shares have a fraction of a vote for each partly paid share held, with the fractional vote of each share being equivalent to the proportion of the total amount paid and payable (excluding amounts credited) that has actually been paid (not credited) for each share. Amounts paid in advance of a call are ignored when calculating proportions. The holder of a partly paid ordinary share is not entitled to vote at a meeting in respect of those shares on which calls are outstanding.

The profits of the Consolidated Entity, which the Directors may from time to time determine to distribute to shareholders by way of dividends, will be divisible amongst the shareholders in proportion to the amounts paid on the shares. An amount paid in advance of a call is not to be included as an amount paid on a share for the purposes of calculating an entitlement to dividends.

(b) Equal access share buy-back

On 21 January 2014, the Company's Off-Market Equal Access Share Buy-Back (approved by shareholders at the AGM held on 28 November 2013) ( Buy-Back ) closed with the following shares being bought-back and cancelled:

  • (i) 587,563 fully paid ordinary shares were bought back for 10 cents per share at a cost of $58,756; and

  • (ii) 10,000,000 partly paid ordinary shares were bought back for 0.5 cent per share at a total cost of $50,000,

with the total cost of the Buy-Back being $108,756.

(c) Call on partly paid ordinary shares

On 27 June 2014, there was a conversion of 1,000,000 partly paid shares into fully paid shares upon payment of a call made by the Company in relation to 100% of the outstanding balance (being $0.184775 each or $184,775 in total) due and payable in respect of these 1,000,000 partly paid shares.

(d) Capital risk management

The Company's objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a capital structure balancing the interests of all shareholders.

The Board will consider capital management initiatives as is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and shareholders from time to time, including undertaking capital raisings, share Buy-backs, capital reductions and the payment of dividends.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2015

24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable, investments in listed securities, and other unlisted securities. The principal activity of the Consolidated Entity is the management of these investments - "financial assets at fair value" (refer to Note 7). The Consolidated Entity's investments are subject to market (which includes interest rate and price risk), credit and liquidity risks.

The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall internal control framework (which includes risk management) but no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is based, in part, on the appointment of suitably qualified management personnel. The effectiveness of the system is continually reviewed by management and at least annually by the Board.

The financial receivables and payables of the Consolidated Entity in the table below are due or payable within 30 days. The financial investments are held for trading and are realised at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

The Consolidated Entity holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets

(a) Market risk

  • (i) Price risk

The Consolidated Entity is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Consolidated Entity and classified in the Statement of Financial Position at fair value through profit or loss. The Consolidated Entity is not exposed to commodity price risk, save where this has an indirect impact via market risk and equity securities price risk.

The value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument or its issuer or factors affecting all instruments in the market. By its nature as an investment company, the Consolidated Entity will always be subject to market risk as it invests its capital in securities that are not risk free - the market price of these securities can and will fluctuate. The Consolidated Entity does not manage this risk through entering into derivative contracts, futures, options or swaps.

Equity price risk is minimised through ensuring that investment activities are undertaken in accordance with Board established mandate limits and investment strategies.

The Consolidated Entity has performed a sensitivity analysis on its exposure to market price risk at balance date. The analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. The ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index was utilised as the benchmark for the unlisted and listed share investments which are financial assets available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to investments held in interest bearing instruments. The average interest rate for the year for the table below is 1.85% (2014: 3.35%). The revenue exposure is immaterial in terms of the possible impact on profit or loss or total equity.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty under a financial instrument will default (in whole or in part) on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Concentrations of credit risk are minimised primarily by undertaking appropriate due diligence on potential investments, carrying out all market transactions through approved brokers, settling non-market transactions with the involvement of suitably qualified legal and accounting personnel (both internal and external), and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security (where appropriate) as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Consolidated Entity's business activities do not necessitate the requirement for collateral as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The credit quality of the financial assets are neither past due nor impaired and can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available with Standard & Poor's) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets as summarised below:

Cash and cash equivalents

The Consolidated Entity measures credit risk on a fair value basis. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net any provision for losses, represents the Consolidated Entity's maximum exposure to credit risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Consolidated Entity has no borrowings. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash investments can be realised to meet trade and other payables arising in the normal course of business. The financial liabilities disclosed in the above table have a maturity obligation of not more than 30 days.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Consolidated Entity has no borrowings. The Consolidated Entity's non-cash investments can be realised to meet trade and other payables arising in the normal course of business. The financial liabilities disclosed in the above table have a maturity obligation of not more than 30 days.

25. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • (i) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • (ii) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

  • (iii) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Olive trees - - 65,500 65,500
Total 672,659 499,760 832,093 2,004,512

There have been no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the financial year.

(b) Valuation techniques

The fair value of the listed securities traded in active markets is based on closing bid prices at the end of the reporting period. These investments are included in Level 1.

The fair value of any assets that are not traded in an active market are determined using certain valuation techniques. The valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available, or independent valuation and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2. If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 30 June 2015

25. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

The fair value of the unlisted managed fund investment is valued at the audited unit price published by the investment manager and as such this financial instrument is included in Level 2.

At Level 3, the land were valued by an independent qualified valuer (a Certified Practising Valuer and Associate Member of the Australian Property Institute) as at 30 June 2015. These assets have been valued based on similar assets, location and market conditions or Direct Comparison or Comparative Sales Approach. The land value per hectare based on rural land sold in the general location provided a rate. A 4% change would increase or decrease the land's fair value change by $69,500 respectively. There has been no unusual circumstances that may affect the value of the trees.

At Level 3 the olive trees' value was assessed as at 30 June 2015 by the Directors. The fair value of the trees is at the Directors' valuation having regard to, amongst other matters, replacement cost and the trees commercial production qualities. The significant unobservable input is the replacement cost of 16 year old fruiting trees. There are no age limits to the commercial viability of an olive grove. A 1% change in the minimum replacement cost would result in an increase or decrease by $3,500. There has been no unusual circumstances that may affect the value of the property.

The changes in the Level 3 values are explained in Note 12 in relation to the land.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report.

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.
