GRP Corporation Limited (formerly Great Pacific Capital Limited) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is Level 2, 350 Kent Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The previous registered office and place of business was level 23, 123 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Background
The Board of Directors of GRP Corporation Limited (formerly Great Pacific Capital Limited) is responsible for the Corporate Governance of GRP Corporation Limited and its controlled entities. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the group on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.
The GRP Corporation Limited Corporate Governance Statement on the governance practices adopted by the Company is structured with reference to the ASX Corporate Governance Council's Principles and Recommendations. The practice are summarised below.
The Board is committed to improving its corporate governance practices and embracing the principles put out by the ASX Corporate Governance Council, however the Board is of a view that the adoption of the practices and principles should be in line with the growth in size, changes in the nature and increase in complexity of the Company's business.
The Board aims to achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the Company grows and its circumstances change over time. As reported in the current years' and previous years' annual report, the Company has been concentrating on its efforts to restore the financial position of the Company and does not have sufficient resources to adopt and improve its corporate governance practices at present.
A number of the principles previously adopted by the company were not consistently adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010. During this period, the company was suspended from quotation from the ASX (May 2008) and was placed in voluntary administration in May 2010. It is the Boards intention to apply all principals previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the ASX and achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the company grows and its circumstances change over time.
Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight
For the reasons outlined above, this principle previously adopted by the company was not consistently adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010.
On resumption of quotation of GRP's securities on the ASX, it is Board's intention to ensure the Company is structured such that there are clearly defined roles, segregation of duties and responsibilities and approved levels of authority between the management and the governance of the company. The Board will set the overall corporate governance policy for the company including determining the strategic direction, establishing policies and goals for management and monitoring the achievement of them. The Board will delegate responsibility for the day to day management of the company to the Chief Executive Officer and the senior executive team.
The key responsibilities of the Board will include:
-
setting the long-term strategy and annual business plan including objectives and milestones to be achieved;
-
evaluating capital, cash and operating risk budgets and making appropriate recommendations on an annual basis;
-
reviewing and approving the company's financial, strategic and operational goals and assessing key business developments as formulated by management in line with the objectives and goals set by the Board;
-
monitoring the performance of the company against the financial objectives and operational goals set by the Board and reviewing the implementation of Board approved strategies;
-
assessing the appropriateness of the skill sets and the levels of experience of the members of the Board, individually and as a whole and selecting new members to join the Board when a vacancy exists;
-
appointing, removing and determining the terms of engagement of the Directors, Chief Executive Officer and Company Secretary;
-
overseeing the delegation of authority for the day to day management of the company;
-
ensuring that the risk management systems, financial reporting and information systems, personnel, policies and procedures are all operating efficiently and effectively by establishing a framework of internal controls and compliance;
-
reviewing major contracts, goods or services on credit terms, acceptance of counter-party risks and issuing guarantees on behalf of the company;
-
approving the capital structure and major funding requirements of the company;
-
making recommendations as to the terms of engagement, independence and the appointment and removal of the external auditors;
-
setting the Code of Conduct for the company and ensuring that appropriate standards of corporate governance and ethics are effectively communicated throughout the company and complied with;
-
reviewing the adherence by each director to the Directors' Code of Ethics;
-
establishing policies to ensure that the company complies with the ASX Continuous Disclosure Policy;
-
approving the company's half year and full year reports to the shareholders, ASX and ASIC; and
-
ensuring that recruitment, retention, termination, remuneration, performance review and succession planning policies and procedures are in place and complied with.
Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value
For the reasons outlined above, this principle previously adopted by the company was not consistently adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010.
The Board is presently structured to maximise value to the company and the shareholders. The Board is of a size and composition that is conducive to making decisions expediently, with the benefit of a variety of perspectives, experiences and skills.
Board composition
The Board is composed of three directors. The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of Director held of each Director in office at the date of the annual report are included in the Directors Report.
It is noted that the Company's board composition is not in keeping with the commentary and guidance to Best Practice Recommendations 2.1. The Board is of the opinion that the current stage of uncertainty in relation to the future operation of the company requires the company to have a board, which has more of a hands-on and technical experience in order to stabilise the company. However, the board is committed to follow the guidance to Best Practice Recommendations 2.1 by appointing independent directors to the Board once the future direction of the company is resolved.
The Board has determined that there are sufficient appropriate alternative governance measures in place to ensure that non compliance with the recommendations does not give rise to undue risk or other material concerns relating to the management and oversight of the Company.
Term of office
The members of the Board are elected by the shareholders to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience.
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, if a person is appointed as Director during the year, the Company must confirm appointment by resolution at the Company's next Annual General Meeting.
One-third of the Board retires and make themselves available for re-election at the following AGM, with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer. No director, with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, is allowed to retain office for more than 3 years without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
When a vacancy exists on the Board, the Board appoints the most suitable candidate from a panel of candidates, who then must stand for election at the next Annual General Meeting if he or she wishes to continue as a member of the Board in the following year.
Personal interests & conflicts
Directors must not take advantage of their position as directors and must not allow their personal interests, or the interests of any associated person to interfere or exert undue influence on their conduct or decisions as a director.
Directors also have a duty to avoid conflicts of interest between the best interests of the company and their own personal or commercial interests. Conflicts of interest can be either actual or potential. If a conflict of interest arises, directors must disclose their interests to the Board immediately. The directors concerned must not be present at the meeting while the matter is being considered and must not be allowed to vote on the matter either.
Independent professional advice
There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors in furtherance of their duties to seek independent professional advice at the company's expense.
Board Standing Committees
Due to the size of the Company and present uncertainties the Board has decided not to formally establish a Nomination Committee.
Although the board established an Audit and Risk Management Committee, at the date of this report, the company has not appointed any member to the Committee and as such, the responsibilities and duties of this Committee were taken up by the Board during the year. The small size and the hands on approach of the Board enable it to handle particular issues relevant to verifying and safeguarding the integrity of the company's financial reporting with the same efficiency as an Audit and Risk Management Committee.
Consequently the Company does not comply with Best Practice Recommendations. However the Board will keep this position under review.
Summary
In summary, the Company does not meet the requirements of Principle 2 of the Corporate Governance Guidelines in that:
- (i) The Board does not comprise a majority of independent Directors;
- (ii) The Chairperson is not an independent Director;
As explained throughout this section, the Board feels that at the present time each of the recommendations is not cost effective for adoption in a small public company such as GRP Corporation Limited. However the Board will constantly monitor and review the situation.
Principle 3 and 10: Promote ethical and responsible decision-making and recognise the legitimate interests of stakeholders
For the reasons outlined above, this principle previously adopted by the company was not consistently adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010.
Code of Conduct & Ethics
The company has a Code of Conduct, which sets the standards in accordance with which each director, manager and employee of the company is expected to act. The code is communicated to all levels of the company and deals with areas such as professional conduct, customers/consumers, suppliers, advisers/regulators, competitors, the community and the employees.
In addition to the Code of Conduct, the company also has a Directors' Code of Ethics, which sets out particular issues relevant to directors' obligations to the company.
Share trading policy
The constitution permits directors, senior executives and other officers of the company to trade in company shares as long as they comply with the company's Share Trading Policy. The Share Trading Policy is a code that is designed to minimise the potential for insider trading.
Directors must notify the Chairman of the Board, before they buy or sell shares in the company. If the Chairman of the Board intends to trade in the company shares, the Chairman of the Board must give prior notice to the Chairman of the Audit & Risk Management Committee. The details of the share trading must be given to the Company Secretary who must lodge such details of such changes in with the ASX.
Senior executives must give prior notice to the Chief Executive Officer, while other officers must notify the Company Secretary, before trading in the company shares and details of all such transactions must be given, in writing, to the Company Secretary within 7 business days.
Any changes in substantial shareholding of the directors, senior executives or other officers must be reported to the ASX within 2 business days of such trading. The policy also recommends that trading in the company shares only occur in the following trading windows:
- 30 days after the announcement of the company's half year results; and
- 30 days after the announcement of the company's full year results.
Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in financial reporting
For the reasons outlined above, this principle previously adopted by the company was not consistently adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010.
It is the Board's responsibility to ensure an effective internal control framework exists within the entity. This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes, the safeguarding of assets, the maintenance of proper accounting records and the reliability of financial information as well as non financial considerations such as benchmarking of operational key performance indicators.
Executive Certification
Historically, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are required to and have provided assurance to the Board stating that the financial statements and reports of the Company:
- Present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the operating results and financial condition in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001;
- Are founded on a system of risk management and internal compliance and control, and these are operating efficiently and effectively in all material aspects.
However, as stated in page 3, the principles previously adopted by the company were not adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010 – including the requirement to obtain assurance from the CEO and the CFO that the financial statements present a true and fair view, in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and are founded on a system of risk management and internal compliance and control. It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the ASX - including the requirement to obtain assurances from the CEO and the CFO in relation to the financial statements, systems of risk management and internal controls - in stages as the company grows and its circumstances change over time.
Audit & Risk Management Committee – audit responsibilities
Historically, the Board had an Audit & Risk Management Committee, which operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board's responsibility to ensure an effective internal control framework exists within the entity.
At the date of this report, the company has not appointed any member to the Audit & Risk Management Committee and as such, the responsibilities and duties of this Committee were taken up by the Board during the year. The small size and the hands on approach of the Board enable it to handle particular issues relevant to verifying and safeguarding the integrity of the company's financial reporting with the same efficiency as an audit committee.
The Board had previously adopted a formal charter for the Audit & Risk Management Committee to reflect the matters set out in the commentary and guidance to Best Practice Recommendation 4.2. The Board is aware that the small size of the current Board and the absence of independent Directors do not allow the Board to structure the Audit & Risk Management Committee in accordance to the commentary and guidance to Best Practice Recommendation 4.3, but is committed to follow the recommendation once independent directors are appointed in the future.
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
Historically, the company's market disclosure policy is to ensure that shareholders and the market are fully informed of the company's strategy, performance and details of any information or events that could be material to the value of the company's securities. The company is committed to ensuring that all information that may have a material impact on the company's share value is disclosed to the market in a timely and balanced manner.
The Chief Executive Officer and the Company Secretary, in consultation with the Board, are responsible, for the review, authorisation and disclosure of information to the ASX and for overseeing and coordinating information disclosures to the ASX, shareholders, brokers, analysts, the media and the public.
The company ensures that it also complies with the requirements of the Listing Rules of the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") and the Corporations Act in providing information to shareholders through:
- The half-yearly report to the ASX;
- The annual Report which is distributed to the ASX and to shareholders prior to the AGM;
- The AGM and other meetings called to obtain approval from shareholders where appropriate;
- Ad-hoc releases to the ASX as required under the ASX Listing Rules.
However, for the period February 2008 to December 2010, the company did not comply with this principle in a timely manner. Half yearly reports of the periods December 2008 and December 2009 are anticipated to be reported to the ASX in March 2011. The annual reports for the years ending June 2008, June 2009 and June 2010 are anticipated to be distributed to the ASX in March 2011. The AGM for years June 2008, June 2009 and June 2010 are anticipated to be held in May 2011.
It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted in a timely manner on the resumption of quotation on the ASX and achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the company grows and its circumstances change over time.
Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
Communication to shareholders
The Company recognises the rights of its shareholders and other interested stakeholders to have easy access to balanced, understandable and timely information concerning the operations of the Group. The Chief Executive Officer and the Company Secretary are primarily responsible of ensuring communications with shareholder are delivered in accordance with this strategy and with our policy of continuous disclosure.
The Company strives to communicates with shareholders and other stakeholders in a regular manner as outlined in Principle 5 of this statement. However as noted in page 3, in the period from February 2008 to December 2010 the company did not communicate with shareholders and other stakeholders in a timely manner.
The Board encourages participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting or any other shareholder meetings to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Company's strategy and goals. Shareholders are requested to vote on the appointment and aggregate remuneration of Directors, the granting of options and shares to Directors, issue of shares and changes to the constitution.
Annual General Meeting
Historically, the Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the company's strategy and goals.
The Board has also requested representatives from Hall Chadwick, the company's external auditor, to be present at the Annual General Meeting to answer questions that shareholders might have about the scope and conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the auditor's report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company and the independence of the auditor.
It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the ASX and implement all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the company grows and its circumstances change.
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk
Risk management responsibilities
The Company's risk management framework is designed to indentify, assess, monitor and manage material business risks, both financial and non financial, to minimise their impact on the achievement of organisational goals.
As no member has been appointed to the Audit & Risk Management Committee, the board is responsible for reviewing and ratifying the system of risk management, internal compliance and control, codes of conduct and legal compliance.
Historically, the Board delegates to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer the responsibilities for the establishment, implementation and maintenance of the system of risk management including measures of its effectiveness.
In the period February 2008 to December 2010, the Board did not receive a report from management as required under section 295A of the Corporation Act that the Company's risk management framework is effective for the Company's purpose.
As disclosed on page 3, the principles previously adopted by the company were not always adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010. It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted on the resumption of quotation on the ASX and achieve all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the company grows and its circumstances change over time.
Principle 8: Encourage enhanced performance
As stated above, principles previously adopted by the company were not always adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010.
Performance evaluation
The Board has responsibility with respect to the following functions:
- develop policies and procedures to identify, assess and enhance the skills, expertise and competencies of the directors individually and the Board as a whole; and
- develop a process and establish the criteria for evaluating the performance of the directors and the Board as a whole;
Monthly financial results
Historically, the Chief Financial Officer distributes the monthly financial results of the company to members of the Board before each monthly Board meeting. This ensures the Board is kept up to date with all the necessary information to effectively discharge their duties in its discussions and deliberations. The Board is also free to meet and question individual members of management to clarify issues on any matter pertaining to the Company.
However, as previously stated the principles, previously adopted by the company were not always adhered to during the period from February 2008 to December 2010 – including the provision of monthly reports. It is the Boards intention to apply all principles previously adopted – including distribution of monthly results before each board meeting - on the resumption of quotation on the ASX and implement all of the Best Practice Recommendations in stages as the company grows and its circumstances change.
Director induction and training
New directors will be provided with an induction program to introduce them to the company structure, culture and business operations.
Directors are also encouraged to undertake continuous professional development, at the company's expense, to keep their skills up to date.
Principle 9: Remunerate fairly and responsibly
Remuneration responsibilities
The Company's remuneration policy is disclosed in the Directors' Report. The policy has been set out to ensure that the performance of Directors, key executives and staff reflect each person's accountabilities, duties and their level of performance, and to ensure that remuneration is competitive in attracting, motivating and retaining staff of the highest quality. A program of regular performance appraisals and objective setting for key executives and staff is in place. These annual reviews take into account individual and company performance, market movements and expert advice.
The Board determines any changes to the remuneration of key executives on an annual basis.
The Board determines and reviews compensation arrangements for the directors and the executive team.

The company's securities remain suspended.
In the ensuing period the former Directors sought (unsuccessfully) to recapitalise the Company and eventually the Company was placed into voluntary administration on 13 May 2010 by appointing Murray Godfrey of RMG Partners Business Solutions ('RMG') as administrator under section 436A of the Corporations Act 2001.
In the period May 2010 to October 2010 the company was in administration, managed by Murray Godfrey of RMG.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of GRP Corporation Limited and controlled entities ('Consolidated Group' or 'Group'), and the separate financial statements and notes of GRP Corporation Limited as an individual parent entity ('Parent Entity').
1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
a. Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal trading activities and realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company had previously disclosed its concern in relation to the slowdown of property development activities and the flow on effect on the demand for subordinated loan facilities provided by the Company.
On 9 May 2008, the Company's securities were suspended from Official Quotation by the ASX in accordance with listing rule 17.3 pending the Company's compliance with ASX listing rule 12.1.
On 13 May 2010, the Company under section 436A of the Corporations Act 2001, appointed Murray Godfrey of RMG Partners Business Solutions as administrator.
In an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on 4 November 2010, the shareholders unanimously approved all resolutions including: the allotment and issue of 200 million shares, removal of the previous Directors and Company Secretary, the election of new Directors, and a change of the Company name to GRP Corporation Limited.
The Company also executed a deed of arrangement and creditors trust with its creditors, extinguish all liabilities and removed itself from Administration.
The stated purpose of the Company is now to seek opportunities with a focus in the Iron Ore, Gold and Energy sectors.
In the event that GRP Corporation Limited is unable to realise its object of obtaining profitable opportunities or complete any further capital raisings it will be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in a manner other than in the normal course of business such as voluntarily administration.
The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not be able to continue as a going concern.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
b. Principles of Consolidation
A controlled entity is any entity over which GRP Corporate Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.
A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 19 to the financial statements.
As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where controlled entities have entered (left) the consolidated group during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).
All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Minority interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity interests held by persons outside the Group, are shown separately within the Equity section of the consolidated Balance Sheet and in the consolidated Income Statement.
Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method.
The purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any deferred consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity's incremental borrowing rate.
Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of the acquirer's interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
c. Income Tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore 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 unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, 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, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
1: Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
c. Income Tax (continued)
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 legally enforceable right of set-off exists, 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
GRP Corporation Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the Group recognises its own current and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such taxes are measured using the 'stand-alone taxpayer' approach to allocation. Current tax liabilities (assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and tax credits in the subsidiaries are immediately transferred to the head entity. The Group notified the Australian Taxation Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 1 July 2006. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax funding arrangement whereby each company in the Group contributes to the income tax payable by the Group in proportion to their contribution to the Group's taxable income. Differences between the amounts of net tax assets and liabilities derecognised and the net amounts recognised pursuant to the funding arrangement are recognised as either a contribution by, or distribution to the head entity.
d. Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the group 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 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 expenses to the income statement.
Impairment testing is performed annually and tangible assets with indefinite lives. 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.
e. Investments
Non-current investments are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of non-current investments is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of these investments. The recoverable amount is assessed from the quoted market value for listed investments or the underlying net assets for other non-listed investments and reviewed for impairment.
f. Receivables
Receivables are measured on cost basis and recorded upon payment of the amount recoverable. In the case of receivables from controlled entities, amounts are recorded upon the advance of loans or payments on their behalf.
Receivables and other debtors, including amount receivable from controlled entities, are assessed annually to determine the recoverable amounts. The difference between the recoverable amount and the original cost are provided for either as doubtful debts or impairment loss in the current year.
g. Land and buildings
Land and buildings are measured on the fair value basis, being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. They will be revalued by an independent third party registered property valuer on a 'as required' basis but at least once every three years.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
h. Plant and Equipment
The carrying amount is reviewed annually by the 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 employed and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
Items of plant and equipment are measured on the cast basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
| Class of fixed asset | Depreciation rate |
|---|---|
| Office fittings | 12 % |
| Computer equipment | 25 % |
| Communication equipment | 10 – 15 % |
| Furniture and fixtures | 7.5 - 10 % |
These rates are consistent with those adopted in the prior year. The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying value 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 included in the income statement. When revalued asserts are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
i. Employee benefits
Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employee to 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 on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.
j. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except where they are included as part of the costs of acquiring land and building for redevelopment. Borrowing costs carried forward are amortised over the life of the loan or 5 years, whichever is earlier.
k. 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 cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST on investing and financial activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
l. Financial Instruments
Recognition
Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligation exist. Subsequent to initial recognition, these instruments are measured as set out below.
Available-for-sale financial assets
(i) Recognition
Available-for-sale financial asset are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity.
(ii) Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid price 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.
(iii) Impairment
At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
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.
n. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term high liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
o. Comparatives
Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current year.
p. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report 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 — Impairment
At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying value of tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amounts of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value 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 income statement.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
No impairment has been recognised in respect of goodwill at reporting date.

New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods
The AASB has issued new, revised and amended standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Group has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the Group follows:
- AASB 3: Business Combinations, AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, AASB 2008- 3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASBs 1,2,4,5,7,101,107, 112, 114, 116, 121, 128, 131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138 & 139 and Interpretations 9 & 107] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2008-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate [AASB 1, AASB 118, AASB 121, AASB 127 & AASB 136] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These standards are applicable prospectively and so will only affect relevant transactions and consolidations occurring from the date of application. In this regard, its impact on the Group will be unable to be determined. The following changes to accounting requirements are included:
- acquisition costs incurred in a business combination will no longer be recognised in goodwill but will be expensed unless the cost relates to issuing debt or equity securities;
- contingent consideration will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and may only be provisionally accounted for during a period of 12 months after acquisition;
- a gain or loss of control will require the previous ownership interests to be remeasured to their fair value;
- there shall be no gain or loss from transactions affecting a parent's ownership interest of a subsidiary with all transactions required to be accounted for through equity (this will not represent a change to the Group's policy);
- dividends declared out of pre-acquisition profits will not be deducted from the cost of an investment but will be recognised as income;
- impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be considered when a dividend is paid by the respective investee; and
- where there is, in substance, no change to Group interests, parent entities inserted above existing groups shall measure the cost of its investments at the carrying amount of its share of the equity items shown in the balance sheet of the original parent at the date of reorganisation.
The Group will need to determine whether to maintain its present accounting policy of calculating goodwill acquired based on the parent entity's share of net assets acquired or change its policy so goodwill recognised also reflects that of the non-controlling interest.
- AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8 [AASB 5, AASB 6, AASB 102, AASB 107, AASB 119, AASB 127, AASB 134, AASB 136, AASB 1023 & AASB 1038] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). AASB 8 replaces AASB 114 and requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the Group's Board for the purposes of decision making. While the impact of this standard cannot be assessed at this stage, there is the potential for more segments to be identified. Given the lower economic levels at which segments may be defined, and the fact that cash generating units cannot be bigger than operating segments, impairment calculations may be affected. Management does not presently believe impairment will result however.
- AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 2007-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101, and AASB 2007-10: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (all applicable to annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 101 and amendments supersede the previous AASB 101 and redefines the composition of financial statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. There will be no measurement or recognition impact on the Group. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative period will be required.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
1. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards (continued)
- AASB 123: Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 & AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 123 has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and will therefore require the capitalisation of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Management has determined that there will be no effect on the Group as a policy of capitalising qualifying borrowing costs has been maintained by the Group.
- AASB 2008-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations [AASB 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). This amendment to AASB 2 clarifies that vesting conditions consist of service and performance conditions only. Other elements of a share-based payment transaction should therefore be considered for the purposes of determining fair value. Cancellations are also required to be treated in the same manner whether cancelled by the entity or by another party.
- AASB 2008-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation [AASB 7, AASB 101, AASB 132 & AASB 139 & Interpretation 2] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These amendments introduce an exception to the definition of a financial liability to classify as equity instruments certain puttable financial instruments and certain other financial instruments that impose an obligation to deliver a pro-rata share of net assets only upon liquidation.
- AASB 2008-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008) (AASB 2008-5) and AASB 2008-6: Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008) (AASB 2008-6) detail numerous nonurgent but necessary changes to accounting standards arising from the IASB's annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially affect the Group.
- AASB 2008-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Eligible Hedged Items [AASB 139] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009). This amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation as a hedged item should be applied in particular situations and is not expected to materially affect the Group.
- AASB 2008-13: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB Interpretation 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners [AASB 5 & AASB 110] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009). This amendment requires that non-current assets held for distribution to owners to be measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to distribute.
- AASB Interpretation 15: Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). Under the interpretation, agreements for the construction of real estate shall be accounted for in accordance with AASB 111 where the agreement meets the definition of 'construction contract' per AASB 111 and when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the work in progress transfer to the buyer continuously as construction progresses. Where the recognition requirements in relation to construction are satisfied but the agreement does not meet the definition of 'construction contract', revenue is to be accounted for in accordance with AASB 118. Management does not believe that this will represent a change of policy to the Group.
- AASB Interpretation 17: Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009). This guidance applies prospectively only and clarifies that non-cash dividends payable should be measured at the fair value of the net assets to be distributed where the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does not expect these requirements to have any material effect on the Group's financial statements.
