On behalf of the Board

Mr. D. G. Rees Mr. R. Rees Director Director

Moorabbin, 12 December 2012

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Directors set out below their comments on the extent to which each of the eight essential corporate governance principles and the recommendations aligned with these principles, as provided by the Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Council, as a guide for listed companies, have been followed and the reasons for any differences .

1.dddd 1. Lay solid foundations for management and oversight

1.1 Companies should establish the functions reserved to the board and those delegated to senior executives and disclose those functions.

The small nature of the company and its controlled entities lead to the board taking a proactive role in the decision making and performance management of the group under the guidance of the Chairman.

The role of the board and senior executives are not set out in prospective terms but left to the Chairman and Managing Director to determine based on their assessment of current circumstances and the competencies of board members and executives to achieve effective outcomes. The roles and expectations of those selected to manage is then communicated to them in face-toface discussions.

From the guidelines for board responsibilities set out in the commentary to this recommendation the board takes responsibility for:

  • overseeing the company, including its control and accountability systems
  • providing input and final approval of managements development of corporate strategy and performance objectives
  • reviewing, ratifying and monitoring systems of risk management, internal control, codes of conduct and legal compliance
  • monitoring, appointing and removing senior executives and performance and implementation of strategy
  • where appropriate providing sufficient resources to senior executives
  • approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management, acquisitions and divestures - approving and monitoring financial and other reporting to external parties.
  • 1.2 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of senior executives. Directors annually review the performance of executives against the competitive markets in which the group operations are conducted. Further information on this process is disclosed in the remuneration report on page [4] of the annual report.
  • 1.3 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 1. A performance evaluation for senior executives has taken place according to the disclosed policy.

2. Structure the Board to add value

2.1 A majority of the board should be independent directors.

The Board has no independent directors. The Chairman, Managing Director and the Non executive director all have a relevant interest in the chief entity, as they all have a relevant interest in numerous substantial shareholders. The board believes that increasing its size to include a number of independent directors is not warranted at this time of the company's development.

Independence is brought to bear through the directors commercial knowledge, experience and expertise. Directors have access to all staff and if required independent professional advice with the cost of the latter being funded by the Company provided prior approval of one other Director is obtained for the specific amount of the proposed expenditure.

  • 2.2 The chair should be an independent director. The Chairman has a relevant interest in the chief entity, as he has a relevant interest in one or more substantial shareholders and has been on the board of the company since 1967. The Chairman follows the practice of vacating his directorship each year and offering himself for re election by the shareholders
  • 2.3 The roles of the chair and the managing director should not be exercised by the same individual.
  • The role of the managing director is performed by Mr Richard Rees, while the role of chair is performed by Mr Delwyn G. Rees. 2.4 The board should establish a nomination committee

The small size of the company leads to the existence of a small board, which does not lend itself to the formation of committees instead; the role of the nomination committee is carried out by the full Board.

The selection of senior executives and directors is based on direct knowledge of applicant's backgrounds making seamless induction, and allowing selected executives to participate in decision making at the earliest opportunity.

2.5 Companies should disclose the process for evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors.

The companies' policy for determination of the performance of directors and the board is based on the Chairman and Managing Director's assessment of individual's performance and the general overall performance of the company.

It is the stated policy that depending on this performance evaluation, the level of remuneration may be increased or decreased after a review from its previous levels for the board and individual directors.

The criteria on which individual performance is assessed are:-

  • technical knowledge and skills in light of current levels for the applicable occupation or profession
  • application by the individual of their knowledge and skills to their tasks
  • the ability and success in imparting their knowledge, skills and work ethic to personnel assigned to them
  • the ability to complete assignments successfully and in the allocated time
  • the ability to assist the company and or subsidiary achieve profitable short, medium and long term performance and growth by delivering customers with quality, competitively priced and innovative products and services.

2.6 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 2. A performance evaluation for senior executives has taken place according to the disclosed policy.

The term in office held by each director at the date of this report is as follows: Name Term in office Mr Delwyn G. Rees 46 years Mr Richard Rees 31 years Mr Geoffrey Rees 3 years

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (cont.)

3. Promote ethical and responsible decision making.

  • 3.1 Companies should establish a code of conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to:
    • The practices necessary to maintain confidence in the company's integrity
    • The practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the responsible expectations of their stakeholders
    • The responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices. The Directors will continue to maintain their high standard of decision-making and promote and encourage ethical behaviour of all employees.

The Directors believe personal integrity and honesty is the key, rather than documented codes or company regulations, to enable maintenance of high standards of business practice.

3.2 Companies should establish a policy concerning diversity and disclose the policy or a summary of that policy. The policy should include requirements for the board to establish measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity for the board to assess annually both the objectives and progress in achieving them.

The board focuses on the skills and experience of employees in deciding their position, remuneration and responsibilities with standards met by personal integrity and honesty rather than through documented codes or company regulations.

3.3 Companies should disclose in each annual report the measurable objectives for achieving greater gender diversity set by the board in accordance with the diversity policy and progress towards achieving them.

The board considers that the skills sets of each individual in the organisation is matched to their relevant position. 3.4 Companies should disclose in each annual report the proportion of women employees in the whole organisation,

  • women in senior executive positions and women on the board. The board considers that the roles in the organisation are filled by the person with the skills best required to achieve the
  • organisations goals and strategies
  • 3.5 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 3. Refer to 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 above.

4.0 Safeguard integrity in financial reporting

  • 4.1 The board should establish an audit committee.
    • The small size of the company leads to the existence of a small board, which does not lend itself to the formation of committees instead; the role of the audit committee is carried out by the full Board.
  • 4.2 The Audit committee should be structured so that it:
    • Consists only of non-executive directors
      • Consists of a majority of independent directors
      • Is chaired by an independent chair, who is not chair of the board
      • Have at least three members.

The small size of the company leads to the existence of a small board, which does not lend itself to the formation of committees, instead the role of the audit committee is carried out by the full Board.

All members of the board are qualified to participate in this role due to their extensive experience in and knowledge of, the industry in which the company and its subsidiaries operates, in addition Mr Delwyn G. Rees, Mr Richard Rees & Mr Geoffrey Rees have accounting qualifications.

4.3 The Audit committee should have a formal charter.

The board has two members with formal audit experience and qualifications and one member has significant legal experience and qualification which is considered as an adequate substitution for a formal charter at this stage in the company's development.

4.4 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 4. Refer to 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 above.

5. Make timely and balanced disclosure

5.1 Companies should establish written policies designed to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior executive level for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies.

The Board has the policy that all company announcements to the shareholders and ASX are approved prior to issue by at least two Directors and are timely, factual and in accordance with the law.

The Board also appreciates the need in the very competitive industries in which its controlled entity and it operate, that disclosure to the market does not disclose competitive sensitive information which would be unnecessarily prejudicial to the interests of the Group and the Company shareholders.

Shareholder inquiries during the course of the year are addressed by the Managing Director or Chairman in a timely manner. 5.2 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 5.

Major announcements made to the ASX are placed on the company's website, sietel.com.au in a timely manner after the public release.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (cont.)

6.1 Companies should design a communications policy for promoting effective communication with shareholders and

encouraging their participation at general meetings and disclose their policy or a summary of that policy. A hardcopy of the annual report is sent to all shareholders who have their current address registered with the Company and have requested this option to be utilized. This includes a notice to attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM). All shareholders are able to receive a hardcopy of published annual reports on request or can obtain a copy online which is available on our website at sietel.com.au, or through the ASX website, asx.com.au.

The Annual Report is prepared, on a no nonsense, uncluttered and to the point basis, to assist non technocrats in gaining a reasonable understanding of the group and its individual entities' performance over the year and financial position at year end.

The AGM is held at one of the Company's premises which provides free parking and easy access. The format of the meeting provides shareholders with the opportunity to ask questions of the Directors and the Auditor or his nominated representative.

Shareholder inquiries during the course of the year are addressed by the Managing Director or Chairman in a timely manner.

The entities manufacturing subsidiary has a web site which provide information relevant to their products allowing shareholders to become better acquainted with the business.

  • 6.2 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 6.
    • Refer to 6.1 above.

7. Recognise and manage risk

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

The board recognises that there are many areas of risk that effect the going companies operations. The following though will have the greatest impact; operational risks, compliance risks, strategic risks, reputation and brand risks, product or service quality risks, financial reporting risks and market-related risks.

Management with the support of the board has taken the following actions to minimise the areas of risk faced by the group companies; Appointed qualified and experienced directors and staff, set standards for behaviour, have comprehensive Insurance Policies which are reviewed annually, segregation of duties, delegated limits of authority, reliable and stable management, reporting systems and accounting controls, procedures for managing financial risks and the treasury function, and defined organisational structure and management responsibilities.

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

The board has received regular presentation from management as to the effectiveness of the company's management and its material business risks.

  • 7.3 The board should disclose whether it has received assurance from the chief executive officer (CEO) (or equivalent) and chief financial officer (CFO) (or equivalent) that the declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks. The group complies with section 295A of the Corporations Act.
  • 7.4 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 7. The board has received regular presentations on the management of material business risks.

8. Remunerate fairly and responsibly

8.1 The board should establish a remuneration committee

The small size of the company leads to the existence of a small board, which does not lend itself to the formation of committees instead; the role of the remuneration committee is carried out by the full Board.

The Board, with its experience in the relevant industries in which group companies operate plus reference to independent survey information combined with regular in depth meetings between staff and the Managing Director, have implemented a policy of fair remuneration based on individual and relevant company or divisional and group performance.

Long term rather than short term performance has been the overriding objective, along with assessment of the dedication and commonly held objectives, plus the ability of the relevant business to achieve a return on the investment in time, money and intellectual property.

8.3 Companies should clearly distinguish the structure of non-executive directors' remuneration from that of executives/ senior executives.

The components of remuneration for each executive director and senior executive are largely cash based. There are no share based payments and non-cash benefits are minimal. Performance based cash payments are largely related to the company's trading and operating performance. Currently there is no scheme to provide any director or member of management with retirement benefits other than accrued long service leave, annual leave and superannuation benefits.

Non-executive directors are remunerated by way of cash salary/bonus plus statutory superannuation and the company does not have any prescribed incentive scheme. There is no scheme to provide directors with retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation.

8.4 Companies should provide the information indicated in the guide to reporting on Principle 8. Refer to 8.1, 8. 2 & 8. 3 above.

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

Note 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial report covers the economic entity of Sietel Limited and controlled entities incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report of Sietel Limited and controlled entities comply with Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these statements are stated below and were consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 12 December 2012 by the directors of the company.

(A) Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which helps ensure that the resultant financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby, ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions and other events is reported. The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

In the current year, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period.

(B) Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation has been charged in the accounts using either the reducing balance or straight line method on all classes of depreciable assets so as to write off their book value over the estimated useful life of the asset including buildings classified as investments. The economic entity's land and buildings leased to third parties have been classified as Investment Property and land and buildings occupied by the economic entity have been classified as Property, Plant and Equipment. The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation. Buildings: 20 – 40 years and Plant and Equipment 4 - 8 years. The policy of the company is to review its valuations of land and buildings every 3 years. There has also been no capital gains tax taken into account in determining revalued amounts.

(C) Investment Property

Investment properties are held for long term rental yields and are not used by the consolidated entity. Investment property purchased before 1998 are carried at fair value re the directors 1998 valuation (deemed cost), while the remainder is carried at cost. The policy of the company is to review its valuations of land and buildings every 3 years. There has also been no capital gains tax taken into account in determining revalued amounts.

(D) Inventories

All entities in the economic entity have:

  • (i) Valued stocks at the lower of cost and net realisable value
  • (ii) Calculated costs by including all variable manufacturing cost, and an appropriate portion of fixed manufacturing cost, but excluding selling, distribution and administration expenses, and
  • (iii) Assigned cost to inventory quantities on hand at balance date on a first in first out basis.

(E) Research and Development Expenditure

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

Development costs have a finite life and are amortised on a systematic basis matched to the future economic benefits over the useful life of the project.

(F) Employee Entitlements

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of annual leave and long service leave, expected to be settled within 12 months and after 12 months are measured at their nominal values plus related on costs

(G) Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to entities within the economic entity and classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated to the reduction of the lease liability. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

(H) Comparative Figures

Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted with changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Note 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(I) Receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any provision for doubtful debts.

(J) Recoverable Amount of Non-Current Assets

Non-current assets are written down to recoverable amounts where the carrying value of any non-current assets exceeds recoverable amounts. In determining the recoverable amount of non-current assets, the expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present value.

Investments in subsidiary companies are valued at cost although in the case of one subsidiary the net assets are less than the company's investment. The Directors have written down this investment as they believe there is a permanent diminution in value.

(K) Accounts Payable

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the economic entity becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

(L) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated accounts comprise the accounts of Sietel Limited and all of its controlled entities. A controlled entity is any entity controlled by Sietel Limited. Control exists where Sietel Limited has the capacity to dominate the decision-making in relation to the financial and operating policies of another entity so that the other entity operates with Sietel Limited to achieve the objectives of Sietel Limited. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 27 to the financial statements.

All intercompany balances and transactions between entities in the economic entity, including any unrealised profit or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation.

(M) Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery and invoicing of goods to customers. Revenue from rent, interest revenue & dividend revenue is recognised on receipt. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery and invoicing of the service to the customers.

(N) Provision for Warranties

Provision is made in respect of the economic entity's estimated liability on products under warranty at balance date.

(O) Income Tax

The economic entity adopts the liability method of tax-effect accounting whereby the income tax expense is based on the profit from ordinary activities adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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 is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of 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 consolidated group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

Sietel Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Each entity in the group recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The current tax liability of each group entity is then subsequently assumed by the parent entity. The group notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from October 1, 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the group contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.

(P) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Note 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(Q) Financial Instruments

Recognition and Initial Measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

Derecognition

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

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

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

Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from change in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. (ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. (iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the group's intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or that are not classified in any of the other categories. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

(v) Financial Liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Fair value

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.

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.

(R) 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

The group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

(S) Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or are of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the income statement and the assets and liabilities are presented separately on the face of the balance sheet.

Note 31 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Significant Accounting Policies

Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which revenues and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in note 1 to the accounts.

The group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable and preference shares.

(b) Interest Rate Risk

The following details the group's exposure to interest rate risk as at the reporting date.

The group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the current year results and equity which could result from a change in these risks. The company's policy is to manage its interest expense using floating interest rates and interest cap rates based on the bank bill rate.

At 30 September 2012, the effect on profit and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows for interest revenue.

(c) Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the economic entity. The economic entity has adopted the policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The economic entity measures credit risk on a fair value basis.

(e) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debt or otherwise meeting its obligations related to its financial liabilities. The groups low borrowings $0 (2011 $0), greatly reduces the liquidity risk faced by the firm. All financial liabilities are current and therefore have a maturity of less than one year.

(f) Net Fair Value

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements represents their respective net fair values, determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in note 1 to the accounts.

Note 32 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS

AASB 9 Financial Instruments, 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9

This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and completes phase I of the IASB's project to replace IAS 39 (being the international equivalent to AASB 139 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement'). This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. To be classified and measured at amortised cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value. This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-Trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognised in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any 'recycling' of gains or losses through profit or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2013 but the impact of its adoption is yet to be assessed by the consolidated entity.

AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and a practical approach for the measurement of deferred tax relating to investment properties measured at fair value, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets measured using the revaluation model. The measurement of deferred tax for these specified assets is based on the presumption that the carrying amount of the underlying asset will be recovered entirely through sale, unless the entity has clear evidence that economic benefits of the underlying asset will be consumed during its economic life. The consolidated entity is yet to quantify the tax effect of adopting these amendments from 1 July 2012.

Note 32 NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS (CONTINUED)

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard has a new definition of 'control'. Control exists when the reporting entity is exposed, or has the rights, to variable returns (e.g. dividends, remuneration, returns that are not available to other interest holders including losses) from its involvement with another entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its 'power' over that other entity. A reporting entity has power when it has rights (e.g. voting rights, potential voting rights, rights to appoint key management, decision making rights, kick out rights) that give it the current ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns (e.g. operating policies, capital decisions, appointment of key management). The consolidated entity will not only have to consider its holdings and rights but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes. The adoption of this standard from 1 July 2013 may have an impact where the consolidated entity has a holding of less than 50% in

an entity, has de facto control, and is not currently consolidating that entity.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, The standard defines which entities qualify as joint ventures and removes the option to account for joint ventures using proportional consolidation. Joint ventures, where the parties to the agreement have the rights to the net assets will use equity accounting. Joint operations, where the parties to the agreements have the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities will account for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses separately, using proportionate consolidation. The adoption of this standard from 1 July 2013 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, It contains the entire disclosure requirement associated with other entities, being subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. The disclosure requirements have been significantly enhanced when compared to the disclosures previously located in AASB 127 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements', AASB 128 'Investments in Associates', AASB 131 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and Interpretation 112 'Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities'. The adoption of this standard from 1 July 2013 will significantly increase the amount of disclosures required to be given by the consolidated entity such as significant judgements and assumptions made in determining whether it has a controlling or non-controlling interest in another entity and the type of non-controlling interest and the nature and risks involved.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 This standard and its consequential amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The standard provides a single robust measurement framework, with clear measurement objectives, for measuring fair value using the 'exit price' and it provides guidance on measuring fair value when a market becomes less active. The 'highest and best use' approach would be used to measure assets whereas liabilities would be based on transfer value. As the standard does not introduce any new requirements for the use of fair value, its impact on adoption by the consolidated entity from 1 July 2013 should be minimal, although there will be increased disclosures where fair value is used.

AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (Revised)

AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Reissued)

These standards are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. They have been modified to remove specific guidance that is now contained in AASB 10, AASB 11 and AASB 12. The adoption of these revised standards from 1 July 2013 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 119 Employee Benefits (September 2011)

This revised standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The

amendments eliminate the corridor approach for the deferral of gains and losses; streamlines the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring re-measurements to be presented in other comprehensive income; and enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The adoption of the revised standard from 1 July 2013 will require increased disclosures by the consolidated entity.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirement

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013, with early adoption not permitted. They amend AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' by removing the disclosure requirements for individual key management personnel ('KMP'). The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2013 will remove the duplication of information relating to individual KMP in the notes to the financial statements and the directors report. As the aggregate disclosures are still required by AASB 124 and during the transitional period the requirements may be included in the Corporations Act or other legislation, it is expected that the amendments will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards

The amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The amendments make numerous consequential changes to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, following the issuance of AASB 10, AASB 11, AASB 12 and revised AASB 127 and AASB 128. The adoption of these amendments from 1 July 2013 will not have a material impact on the consolidated entity.

AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards — Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

These amendments are applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The amendments requires grouping together of items within other comprehensive income on the basis of whether they will eventually be 'recycled' to the profit or loss (reclassification adjustments). The change provides clarity about the nature of items presented as other comprehensive income and the related tax presentation. The adoption of the revised standard from 1 July 2012 will impact the consolidated entity's presentation of its statement of comprehensive income.
