Principal activities
The continuing activities of the Group during the year were sales of car parking technology hardware, software and associated products and services, and car park management.
There was a significant change in the nature of the activities of the Group following the acquisition of Town and City Parking Limited with new activity including car park management.
Review of Operations
The loss of the Group for the financial year after income tax amounted to $17,151,635 (2011: loss of $1,173,427).
On 9 January 2012, Car Parking Technologies Limited completed the acquisition of 100% of Town and City Parking Limited (TCP). The results of the Group for the year ending 30 June 2012 will include the results of TCP from the date of acquisition through until 30 June 2012.
TCP is a UK based company which operates in the car park management business. It operates over 1,000 sites across the UK and is the UK market leader in retail car park management.
Prior to the acquisition, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares at $0.30 to raise $15m as part of a share placement to fund the acquisition and to fund the roll out of technology in the UK post acquisition.
The focus post acquisition has been on integrating TCP into the Group including restructuring the business and rolling out technology which the company is now starting to see the benefits from.
The Group continues to develop new markets and made its first technology sales into both South Africa and the Middle East during the financial year.
Review of Operations (cont'd)
The Group continues to invest in Research and Development and bring new products to market including integration with Pay and Display machines, the Pay by Plate, and the Clear way system.
Dividends
No dividend has been paid or recommended by the Directors since the commencement of the financial year.
Significant changes in state of affairs
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year were as follows:
The Company completed the acquisition of Town and City Parking Limited by way of consideration of $2,886,834 cash. The final consideration includes a net asset adjustment and contingent consideration, see note 4.
Contributed equity increased by $14,581,863 as a result of a capital raising to fund the acquisition of TCP and the subsequent roll out of technology.
Following the acquisition of TCP the Company issued a total of 2,000,000 shares to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
The Sales and Purchase Agreement for TCP provided for a net asset adjustment as outlined in note 4 and note 27. As at 30 June 2012 the amount due from Mr Dickson for the net asset adjustment is $2,720,889. The recoverability of the net asset adjustment is linked to the contingent consideration and the Car Parking Technologies Limited share price. Based the share price of $0.265 at 31 August 2012 the recoverable amount would be reduced by $317,437. Whilst the net asset adjustment has been calculated in accordance with terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement it should be noted that Mr Dickson disputes the amount due.
Except for the net asset adjustment discussed above there have been no matters subsequent to the end of the financial year.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
Disclosure of information regarding developments in the operations of the Group in future financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group. Therefore, this has not been presented in this report.
Environmental regulation
The Directors are mindful of the regulatory regime in relation to the impact of the organisational activities on the environment. There have been no known breaches by the Company during the financial year.

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308 (3c) of the Corporations Act 2001.
A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The Remuneration Committee is a committee of the Board. It is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:
- Non-executive directors fees
- Executive remuneration (directors and other executives), and
- The overarching executive remuneration framework and incentive plan policies.
Remuneration Report (cont'd)
Non-executive directors
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-Executive Directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board based on comparative roles in the external market. At the date of this report, Mr Morris, Ms Maclagan and Ms Fuller have received Non-Executive Director fees for their services. Prior to 1 January 2012 Mr Morris elected not to receive a fee for his services. Ms Maclagan's fee increased effective 1 April 2012 to reflect her services.
Directors' fees
Non-Executive Directors' fees are determined by the Board within an aggregate directors' fee pool limit, which are periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $250,000 per annum as approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
Non-executive Directors do not receive performance based pay.
The following fees have applied:
| Base Fees | 2012 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|
| Chairman1 | $40,000 | Nil |
| Other non-executive directors2 | $80,000 | $60,000 |
1 These are annual fees, payment of fees commenced from 1 January 2012. Mr Morris became Executive Chairman in May 2012 when he became acting CEO of Town and City Parking Limited. Mr Morris received no additional remuneration for his Executive role.
2 These are annual fees.
Additional fees
A Director may also be paid fees or other amounts as the Directors determine if a Director performs special duties or otherwise performs services outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director. A Director may also be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses incurred as a result of their directorship or any special duties.
Executive remuneration
The executive remuneration and reward framework has three components:
- base pay and benefits;
- short-term incentives; and
- long-term incentives through the issue of share options and the Deferred Share and Incentive Plan.
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Remuneration Report (cont'd)
Base remuneration and benefits
Structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits. Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards. Base remuneration for executives is reviewed annually to ensure the executive's remuneration is competitive within the market. An executive's remuneration is also reviewed every 12 months.
Executives receive benefits including car allowances and reimbursement of business expenses.
Short term incentives
The Executives are entitled to a Performance Based Bonus based on Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) predetermined by the Board of Directors. No KPI's have been set for the year ended 30 June 2012 and no bonus will be paid to the Executives for this period with the exception of the Group Chief Financial Officer. There are no KPI's for the Managing Director or performance bonus at the date of this report for the year ending 30 June 2012, which will be reviewed by the Board as considered necessary.
Long term incentives
The executive and non-executive directors are entitled to share options as approved by shareholders.
The Group offers long term incentives to employees through the Deferred Share and Incentive Plan. Under the Deferred Share and Incentive Plan New Zealand based employees can exercise their rights provided they are still employed by the Group at the end of the vesting period. Participation in the plan is at the board's discretion and no individual has a contractual right to participate in the plan or receive any guaranteed benefits.
As a result of the changes to the activities of the business since the acquisition of Meter Eye Limited in February 2011 and Town and City Parking Limited in January 2012 there is no link between compensation and the financial performance of the Group.
With the recent acquisition of TCP the Board will be implementing a policy for determining the nature and amount of compensation and the relationship to the entity's performance.

5 South Inch Business Centre Shore Road Perth PH2 8BW United Kingdom
Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Car Parking Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries.
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements and interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001.
Compliance with IFRS
The consolidated financial statements of Car Parking Technologies Limited group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in the notes as required (refer note 2).
The financial information for the parent entity, Car Parking Technologies Limited, included in note 25, has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.
b) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Car Parking Technologies Limited (''company'' or ''parent entity'') as at 30 June 2012 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Car Parking Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balance and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction proves evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position respectively.
Subsidiaries are accounted for in the parent entity note at cost less impairment.
c) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided by the chief operation decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors.
d) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Car Parking Technologies Limited's presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of comprehensive income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income on a net basis within other income or other expenses.
(iii) Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of the statement of financial position.
- Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates for the year (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
- All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income as a separate component of equity (foreign currency translation reserve).
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid a proportionate share of such exchange rate difference is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows:
(i) Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in profit or loss when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods, or where there is continuing management involvement with the goods.
Transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership generally occur when the goods are delivered to the customer or on completion of installation.
Where the Group receives an advance payment prior to goods being supplied or an installation being completed this is treated as deferred revenue until the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer.
(ii) Services
Revenue from services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to the stage of completion of the specific transaction. The stage of completion is assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
TCP recognises Pay and Display revenue on an accruals basis including cash collected but not yet banked, and Penalty Charge Notice revenue on an accruals basis by looking at cash banked and making an accrual for infringements issued but which have not been paid.
(iii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.
f) Government grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
g) Income tax
The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Tax consolidation legislation
Car Parking Technologies Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation.
The head entity, Car Parking Technologies Limited, and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand alone payer in its own right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Car Parking Technologies Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group. Details about the tax funding agreement are disclosed in note 8.
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution (or distributions from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities.
h) Leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recognised in profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
i) Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. Consideration is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity interests issued by the Group on acquisition date. Consideration also includes the acquisition date fair values of any contingent consideration arrangements, any pre-existing equity interests in the acquiree and sharebased payment awards of the acquiree that are required to be replaced in a business combination. The acquisition date is the date on which the Group obtains control of the acquiree. Where equity instruments are issued as part of the consideration, the value of the equity instruments is their published market price at the acquisition date unless, in rare circumstances it can be demonstrated that the published price at acquisition date is not fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations are, with limited exceptions, initially measured at their fair values at acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree over fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the consideration and non-controlling interest of the acquiree is less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss as a bargain purchase price, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.
For each business combination, the Group measures non-controlling interests at either fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed when incurred. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity and transaction costs arising on the issue of debt as part of the consideration are accounted for in accordance with note 1(u).
Where the Group obtains control of a subsidiary that was previously accounted for as an equity accounted investment in associate or jointly controlled entity, the Group remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Where the Group obtains control of a subsidiary that was previously accounted for as an available-for-sale investment, any balance on the available-for-sale reserve related to that investment is recognised in profit or loss as if the Group had disposed directly of the previously held interest.
Where settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in future are discounted to present value at the date of exchange using the entity's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Assets and liabilities from business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control are accounted for at the carrying amounts recognised in the Group's controlling shareholder's consolidated financial statements.
j) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
k) Cash and cash equivalents
For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
l) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 60 days.
Recoverability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in other expenses.
The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within other expenses. When a trade receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in statement of comprehensive income.
m) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Cost is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work-in-progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. Goods in transit are recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the Group.
n) Investments and other financial instruments
Classification
The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: loans and receivables and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position (note 11) and borrowings.
Financial assets at fair value-through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
Recognition and de-recognition
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Subsequent measurement
Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 5.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
o) Property, plant and equipment
Property, Plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the item.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment:
| Motor Vehicles | -3–5 years |
|---|---|
| Office Equipment | -1–6 years |
| Plant and equipment | -1–10 years |
| Leasehold Improvements | -3–10 years |
| Buildings | -25 years |
The assets useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1 j)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit and loss.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
p) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. As at acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination synergies.
(ii) Software development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Software development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Software development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of direct labour, overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use, and capitalised borrowing costs. Other software development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Capitalised software development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
(iii) Developed technology
Developed technology comprises patented and unpatented technology, and computer software. These three items collectively represent an end to end solution and as such are not separable from each other.
(iv) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets consisting of patents, which are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
(v) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(vi) Amortisation
Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset, less its residual value.
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, from the date that they are available for use, since this most
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Software - 3 years Developed technology - 7 years
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
q) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
r) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities, which are not an incremental cost relating to the actual draw-down of the facility, are recognised as prepayments and amortised on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility.
Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
s) Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions for product warranties, legal disputes, onerous contracts or other claims are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required from the Group and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain.
Restructuring provisions are recognised only is a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan's main features to those affected by it. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present values, where the time value of money is material.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision.
In those cases where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognised.
t) Employee benefits
(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
(ii) Long service leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
(iii) Share-based payments
Share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees via the Car Parking Technologies Employee Option Plan and the Deferred Share and Incentive Plan.
The fair value of options granted under the Car Parking Technologies Employee Option Plan is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options.
The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions, but excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)
Under the Deferred Share and Incentive Plan, deferred share rights are issued by Car Parking Technologies to employees for no cash consideration which vest after a time based hurdle. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimate of the number of deferred share rights that are expected to become exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if
any, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
u) Contributed equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
v) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
w) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements 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.
Share-based payments
The Group values share options using the Black-Scholes method which requires significant estimates and judgements over the inputs in respect to the volatility being 70% (market volatility of the underlying security) and the risk free rate of 4.97% (RBA 2 year government bond rate). Refer to note 24 for further details.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
The group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy in note p) (i). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined using valuein-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions. Refer to note 15 for details of these assumptions and the potential impact of changes to the assumptions.
Goodwill impairment test – TCP acquisition
The directors engaged external advice to review the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition to determine the goodwill on the acquisition of Town and City Parking Limited. The goodwill has not been subject to impairment testing due the acquisition recently taking place and inherent uncertainty over longer term projections. Further information on the goodwill on acquisition is included in note 15.
Recognition of deferred tax assets
The extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognised is based on an assessment of the probability of the Group's future taxable income against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised. In addition, significant judgement is required in assessing the impact of any legal or economic limits or uncertainties in various tax jurisdictions (see note 1 g)).
Estimated VAT liability
A subsidiary Town and City Parking Limited has sought clarification from UK tax authorities and professional advisors on the treatment of VAT on a certain revenue line. The current treatment is based on what the company understood to be the law, however the review may result in an alternative treatment. The financial statements include a provision for VAT payable on the revenue line for the current period and a contingent liability exists for previous VAT periods. The amount of any VAT payable may be material to the Group and the timing of any assessment is uncertain.
3. Segment information
a) Description of segments
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board that are used to make strategic decisions.
The Board considers the business from a product perspective and has identified two reportable segments. Technology consists of car parking technology products sold globally and Parking Management consists of the Town and City Parking Limited business which operates in the United Kingdom.
From a geographical perspective technology revenue is reported from New Zealand, Australia, UK, South Africa, Middle East and other, as revenues grow additional countries or regions will be reported.
b) Segment information provided to the board
The segment information provided to the Board for the reportable segments for the year ended 30 June 2012 is as follows:

3. Segment information (cont'd)
(ii) Adjusted EBITDA
The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted EBITDA. This measurement excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments such as restructuring costs, acquisition costs and goodwill impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. Furthermore, the measure excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and realised/unrealised gains/(losses) on financial assets. Interest income and expenditure are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the group.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to operating profit before income tax is provided as follows:

4. Business combination
For the year ended 30 June 2012
On 9 January 2012, Car Parking Technologies Limited acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Town and City Parking Limited, a United Kingdom based company which operates in the car park management business.
Details of the purchase consideration, the net assets acquired and goodwill are as follows:
| 2012 | |
|---|---|
| $ | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 3,001,484 |
| Trade and other receivables | 6,880,829 |
| Inventories | 165,359 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 3,118,692 |
| Bank overdraft | (657,507) |
| Tradeand otherpayables | (12,358,670) |
| Provision for employee benefits | (713,024) |
| Tax payable | (18,196) |
| Borrowings | (1,945,959) |
| Net identifiable assets acquired | (2,526,992) |
| Purchase consideration: | |
| Cash paid | 2,886,834 |
| Net asset adjustment(b) | (3,304,313) |
| Contingent consideration (a) | - |
| Total purchase consideration | (417,479) |
| Goodwill on acquisition | 2,109,513 |
The goodwill is attributable to the expected growth in profitability through the roll out of technology and expected cost savings. It will not be deductible for tax purposes.
a) Contingent consideration
In the event that certain EBITDA targets are achieved by Town and City Parking Limited, for the 12 months ending 31 December 2012 and the 12 months ending 31 May 2013, additional consideration up to $11,092,014 may be payable in cash and ordinary shares in Car Parking Technologies Limited. Subject to movements in the exchange rate the maximum amount of cash payable would be $4,703,932 and the maximum number of ordinary shares issued would be 21,765,185.
b) Net asset adjustment
The Sale and Purchase Agreement provided that the first earn out would be adjusted post settlement to the extent that the completion net asset statement varies materially from an agreed balance sheet summary. In the event of the first earn out is not sufficient to recover the net asset adjustment the Sale and Purchase Agreement provides other mechanisms for recovering this amount. Whilst the net asset adjustment has been calculated in accordance with terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement it should be noted that Mr Dickson disputes the amount due. The recoverability of this amount is detailed within note 27(f).
The fair value of the contingent consideration payable has been estimated at nil based on a probability adjusted EBITDA forecast for Town and City Parking Limited.
c) Revenue and profit contribution The acquired business contributed revenues of $10,209,322 and a net loss of $2,104,103 to the Group for the period from 9 January 2012 to 30 June 2012.
4. Business combination (cont'd)
Acquisition related costs of $160,925 are included in other expenses in profit or loss and in operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.
5. Financial risk management
The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments, however the Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, and aging analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors with assistance from suitably qualified management. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management and further policies will evolve commensurate with the evolution and growth of the Group.
The group holds the following financial instruments:
| 2012 | 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Financial assets | ||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 10,972,973 | 4,235,966 |

| 10,693,630 | 437,116 |
a) Market risk
(i) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk arising from various currency exposures.
Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The Board has a policy of monitoring foreign exchange risks.
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in Australian dollars was $35,764 (2011: $138,621).
The Group's exposure to foreign exchange movements from trading is not material.
5. Financial risk management (cont'd)
(ii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified on the Statement of Financial Position as fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group manages its portfolio of securities in accordance with limits set by the Group. Diversification of the portfolio is not defined by the Group as management have a short term position in the investments.
The Group holds two publicly traded ASX listed equity investments within its portfolio. The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases in the share prices of the portfolio of equity investments using a rate of +10%/-10% (2011: +10%/-10%).

(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Some of the Group's cash balance is held in a high interest earning account. Sensitivity analysis is not disclosed based on management's calculations as amount considered immaterial.
The Group manages cash flow and interest rate risk by regularly reviewing cash facilities and ensuring we are attracting the highest and most suitable interest rate on our cash holdings. As at reporting date, the Group had the following variable rate cash and borrowings held at variable rates.
| 30 June 2012 | 30 June 2011 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted | Balance | Weighted | Balance | |
| average | average | |||
| interest | interest | |||
| rate | rate | |||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 5.19% | 10,972,973 | 4.70% | 4,235,966 |
b) Credit risk
Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure to trade and other receivables. The board manages credit risk by ensuring all cash balances held at banks are held at internationally and domestically recognised institutions.
The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Group's policy is to deal only with credit worthy counterparties.
The Group has some exposure in relation to the net asset adjustment receivable from the vendor of Town and City Parking Limited. Further information on this is outlined in note 27.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of the financial assets of cash and other receivables to the value of $19,150,197 (2011: $5,112,897).
5. Financial risk management (cont'd)
As of 30 June 2012, trade receivables of $1,107,111 (2011: $49,613) were past due but were not impaired. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default (Refer to note 11).
c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.
As at reporting date the Group had net working capital of $8,458,965 (2010: $4,866,603). The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flow forecasts and actual cash flows on a monthly basis and currently does not require any external borrowing facilities.
The financial liabilities of the Group at reporting date were trade payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.
Maturities of financial liabilities
The tables below analyse the Group's and the parent entity's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the reporting date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

5. Financial risk management (cont'd)
d) Fair value
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as trading and available for sale securities, is based on current quoted market prices at reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current market price.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market such as unlisted investments and subsidiaries is determined using valuation techniques where applicable. Where this is unable to be done they are carried at cost. The carrying value less impairment provision of current trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.
Hierarchy
The Group classifies financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial positions of the Group and parent entity according to the hierarchy stipulated in AASB 7. The Group has listed equity securities recognised at fair value through profit or loss of $86,924 (2011: $205,385) classified as Level 1 - the instrument has quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

8. Income tax expense (cont'd)
The consolidated entity has tax losses arising in Australia of $168,641 (2011: $nil) available for offset against future taxable profits of the companies in which the losses arose.
At 30 June 2012, there is no recognised or unrecognised deferred income tax liability for taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of the Group's subsidiaries as the Group has no liability for additional taxation should such amounts be remitted.
d) Tax consolidation legislation
Car Parking Technologies Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have elected to enter into the tax consolidation legislation from 9 January 2007. The accounting policy in relation to this legislation is set out in note 1(g). On adoption of the tax consolidation legislation, the entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which, in the opinion of the directors, limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Car Parking Technologies Limited.
The entities entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly owned entities fully compensate Car Parking Technologies Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated by Car Parking Technologies Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Car Parking Technologies Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly owned entities' financial statements.
The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement are due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments. The funding amounts are recognised as current intercompany receivables or payables, no amounts have been recognised.

These options and deferred share rights could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

*The carrying amount of the goodwill within the Technology cash generating unit ("CGU") has been reduced to its recoverable amount through recognition of an impairment loss against goodwill. This loss has been disclosed as a separate line item in the profit or loss.
15. Intangible assets (non-current) (cont'd)
(a) Impairment test for goodwill
Goodwill is allocated to the Group's CGUs at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of cash flows from other CGUs.
A CGU level summary of the goodwill allocation is presented below.
| Consolidated | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2011 | ||
| $ | $ | ||
| CGU | |||
| Technology | - | 11,151,038 | |
| Parking management | 2,130,837 | - | |
| 2,130,837 | 11,151,038 |
The recoverable amount of the Technology CGU is determined on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period. Cash flows beyond the five year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below.
The goodwill in the Parking management business has not been subject to impairment testing. The directors engaged external advice to review the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition to determine the goodwill on the acquisition of Town and City Parking Limited. The goodwill has not been subject to impairment testing due the acquisition recently taking place and inherent uncertainty over longer term projections.
(b) Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations
The key assumptions below used for value-in-use calculations relate to the Technology CGU. In 2011 the Technology CGU was not subject to impairment testing.
| 2012 | 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | |
| Technology CGU | ||
| Growth rate * | 15% | - |
| Discount rate ** | 20% | - |
*Weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the budget period.
**In performing the value-in-use calculations, the group has applied post-tax discount rates to discount the forecast future attributable post-tax cash flows. The equivalent pre-tax discount rates are disclosed above.
These assumptions have been used for the analysis of the Technology CGU. Management determined budgeted gross margin based on its expectations for the future. The weighted average growth rate is based on management projections for the future. The discount rate used reflects specific risks relating to the Technology CGU.
15. Intangible assets (non-current) (cont'd)
(c) Impairment charge
The impairment charge of $11,299,431 arose in the Technology CGU following the lower than expected revenue for the year ended 30 June 2012. Whilst management believe in the potential for growth in this business, the impairment charge was considered prudent and appropriate given recent historical performance.
(d) Impact of possible changes in key assumptions
As goodwill has been fully impaired, Management believe changes in key assumptions will not result in any further impairment.

Fair value of options granted
30 June 2012
There were no options granted during the year ended 30 June 2012.
30 June 2011
The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted during the year ended 30 June 2011 was $0.165 per option for options issued on 22 February 2011 and $0.165 per option for options issued on the 1 April 2011. The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.
24. Share based payments (cont'd)
The model inputs for options granted during the year ended 30 June 2011 included:
Options are granted for no consideration and vest based on conditions determined by the board at a general meeting, vested options are exercisable as per the dates below, after vesting and;
| Grant date | 22 February 2011 | 1 April 2011 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exercise price | $0.20 | $0.20 | |
| Expiry date | 30 June 2013 | 30 June 2013 | |
| Share price at grant date | $0.295 | $0.30 | |
| Expected volatility | 70% | 70% | |
| Expected dividend yield | Nil | Nil | |
| Risk free rate | 4.97% | 4.97% |
The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information.
Where options are issued to employees of subsidiaries within the Group, the subsidiaries compensate Car Parking Technologies Limited for the amount recognised as expense in relation to these options.
(b) Deferred Share and Incentive Plan
In January 2011 shareholders approved the establishment of a Deferred Share and Incentive Plan (Plan). The Plan was established to ensure that Car Parking Technologies Limited has appropriate mechanisms in place to continue to attract and retain the services of employees of a high calibre and as compensation for past performance. There are no performance criteria as it was more appropriate to use service conditions.
At 30 June 2012 3,344,830 (2011: 1,344,830) shares have been set aside under the Plan and 1,094,828 (2011: 844,828) deferred share rights have been allocated to New Zealand based employees. New Zealand based employees have the right to acquire the shares no sooner than 3 years and no later than 5 years from the date of allocation for nil consideration.

(e) Loans to key management personnel
A Director, Mr Dickson, was the Managing Director and sole shareholder of Town and City Parking Limited (TCP) prior to it being acquired by Car Parking Technologies Limited on 9 January 2012. The Sales and Purchase Agreement provided for a net asset adjustment as outlined in note 4. At 30 June 2012 the fair value of the amount due from Mr Dickson for the net asset adjustment is $2,720,889 and $33,906 for a pre-acquisition shareholders current account. Whilst the net asset adjustment has been calculated in accordance with terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement it should be noted that Mr Dickson disputes the amount due.
There were no loans made or outstanding to other directors of Car Parking Technologies Limited and other key management personnel of the Group, including their personally related parties.
27. Key management personnel disclosures (cont'd)
(f) Other transactions with key management personnel or related entities.
A Director, Mr Morris, is the Non-executive Chairman and shareholder of Computershare Limited. Computershare Limited has provided share registry services to Car Parking Technologies Limited during the year on normal commercial terms and conditions. The services agreement was in place prior to Mr Morris's appointment.
A Director, Ms Maclagan, is a Director and shareholder of Computershare Limited. Computershare Limited has provided share registry services to Car Parking Technologies Limited during the year on normal commercial terms and conditions. The services agreement was in place prior to Ms Maclagan's appointment.
A Director, Mr Dickson, was the Managing Director and sole shareholder of Town and City Parking Limited (TCP) prior to it being acquired by Car Parking Technologies Limited on 9 January 2012. The details of the transaction are outlined in note 4. As part of completing the acquisition an Independent Experts Report was prepared which concluded the transaction was fair and reasonable to the non-associated shareholders of Car Parking Technologies Limited. Mr Dickson was excluded from voting on the transaction. The Sale and Purchase Agreement provided for a net asset adjustment as outlined in note 4. At 30 June 2012 the amount due from Mr Dickson for the net asset adjustment is $2,720,889 and $33,906 for a pre-acquisition shareholders current account. Whilst the net asset adjustment has been calculated in accordance with terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement it should be noted that Mr Dickson disputes the amount due. The recoverability of the net asset adjustment is linked to the contingent consideration and the Car Parking Technologies Limited share price. In the event the contingent consideration is insufficient to recover the net asset adjustment the Sale and Purchase Agreement provides for Car Parking Technologies Limited to be appointed attorney and to execute the transfer of shares owned in Car Parking Technologies Limited by Mr Dickson to a nominee to the extent that the number of shares covers the net asset adjustment. The recoverable amount of the net asset adjustment has been impaired by $615,131 for the year ending 30 June 2012 to reflect the share price at that date. Every $.01 reduction in the share price reduces the recoverable amount by $90,696. Based on the share price of $0.265 at 31 August 2012 the recoverable amount would be reduced by $317,437. The fair value of the receivable assumes effective enforcement of the security provided in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and is based on a legal opinion obtained by the company.
The Sale and Purchase Agreement includes tax indemnification provisions by the vendor, Mr Dickson to the company.
TCP purchased hardware and software from Car Parking Technologies Limited prior to acquisition on normal commercial terms and conditions under a Business Agreement which was in place prior to Mr Dickson's appointment. The terms of the Business Agreement have been reviewed post acquisition and reflect normal commercial terms and conditions.
Mr Dickson's employment with Town & City Parking Limited was terminated on 24 August, 2012. Mr Dickson resigned as a director on 22 September, 2012.
A Director, Mr Rogers, is the Managing Director and major shareholder of Electronic Company of New Zealand (1971) Limited (ECONZ).

Car Parking Technologies Limited has a licence to occupy office space from ECONZ on normal commercial terms and conditions.

Review of Performance

The remuneration of non executive Directors is different to that of executives. Executive Directors receive a salary and may receive other benefits.

Where necessary the Board will obtain independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration packages.

Board Access to Information
All Directors have unrestricted access to all employees of the Company and, subject to the law, access to all Company records and information held by an employees and/or external advisers. The Board receives regular detailed financial and operational reports to enable it to carry out its duties.

Board Committees
The Board, where appropriate, may establish a number of committees to assist in carrying out its responsibilities in an effective and efficient manner.
Since the acquisition of Meter Eye and the subsequent Board restructure the Board has established committees to assist the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities.

- Note 1: During the reporting period the majority of directors did not satisfy the test of independence set out in Box 2.1 of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations (Independence Test).
- The Director's of the Company, with the exception of Ms Tiffany Fuller and Ms Penelope Maclagan do not satisfy the Independence Test as they are indirectly substantial shareholders of the Company as defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001.
The Board considers that its structure is, and will continue to be, appropriate in the context of the Company's recent history, and directors' experience and knowledge of the Company's assets. The Company considers that the non-independent Directors possess the skills and experience suitable for building the Company. The Board intends to reconsider its composition as the Company's operations evolve, and may appoint additional independent directors as it deems appropriate.
- Note 2: As noted above, Mr Morris does not satisfy the Independence Test as he is indirectly a substantial shareholder of the Company.
- Note 3: Mr Morris was Non-Executive Chairman prior to the acquisition of TCP. Mr Morris was made acting CEO of TCP from May 2012. While Mr Morris is currently Executive Chairman and acting CEO of TCP his Executive responsibilities are expected to be short term.
- Note 4: The Principles recommend that companies should have a board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties and that companies should have a structure to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to performance is clear.
- (a) Recommendation 2.4 Nomination Committee
Recommendation 2.4 of the Principles states that the board should establish a nomination committee that should be structured so that it:
- consists of a majority of independent directors;
- is chaired by an independent director; and
- has at least three members.
The Board as a whole serves as a nomination committee. The Board does not believe any efficiency or other benefits would currently be gained by establishing a separate nomination committee.
The responsibility for the selection of potential directors lies with the full Board of the Company. A separate nomination committee has not been constituted because the Board considers that the size of the current full Board permits it to act as the nomination committee and to regularly review membership. This includes an assessment of the necessary and desirable competencies of Board members, Board succession plans and an evaluation of the Board's performance and consideration of appointments and approvals.
When a Board vacancy occurs, the Board acting as the nomination committee, identifies the particular skills, experience and expertise that will best complement Board effectiveness, and then undertakes a process to identify candidates who can meet those criteria.
Directors are not appointed for specific terms, as their periods in office are regularly reviewed as part of annual performance evaluation processes and they are subject to reelection every three (3) years.
- Note 5: The Principles recommend that companies should have a diversity policy.
- (a) Recommendation 3.2– Diversity Policy
Recommendation 3.2 of the Principles states that the board should establish a diversity policy that should be structured so that it:
includes 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 Company recognises that a talented and diverse workforce is a key competitive advantage and that an important contributor to the Company's success is the quality, diversity and skills of its people. The Board does not consider that at this stage it is appropriate to specifically adopt a policy specifically addressing diversity, but will consider adopting a policy as it develops.
(b) Recommendation 3.3– Measurable Objectives for Achieving Gender Diversity
Recommendation 3.3 of the Principles states that the board should disclose in each annual report the:
- measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity in accordance with the diversity policy and;
- the progress there has been towards achieving the objectives.
Given the size of the Company, the Company has not yet set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity.
(c) Recommendation 3.4– Annual Report Disclosure
Recommendation 3.4 of the Principles states that the board 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.
Given the size of the Board and the Company, the Board considers that this function is achieved with Ms Tiffany Fuller and Ms Penelope Maclagan holding Non-Executive board positions. The proportion of women employees in the whole organisation is 12%, no women hold senior management positions.
Note 6: The Principles recommend that companies should have a structure to independently verify and safeguard the integrity of their financial reporting. Recommendation 4.1 of the Principles states that the board should establish an audit committee.
Recommendation 4.2 of the Principles states that 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
- has at least three members.
The Company has established an Audit and Risk Management Committee (Committee) which operates in accordance with a written charter. During the current year, members of the Committee were Ms Tiffany Fuller (Committee chair), Ms Penny Maclagan with other Board members, the Company Secretary and the Chief Financial Officer participating from time to time by invitation.
Following the appointment of Mr Jeremy King to the Board and the Audit Committee effective 1 August 2012, the structure of the Audit Committee now complies with the guidelines.
