CHAIRMAnS’ REpORT

MAnAGInG DIRECTORS’ REpORT

==> picture [298 x 145] intentionally omitted <==

Your company is now completely focused on driving earnings in its two main businesses OTOC Australia and Whelans.

I am pleased to present OTOC’s annual report for FY2012. It has been an exciting year for the OTOC group, having delivered a substantial increase in revenue, the merger of the OTOC Group and the divestment of Emerson Stewart’s Consulting business.

OTOC’s strategic focus for FY2013 is to drive further improvement in the group’s operating margins and earnings as opposed to purely focusing on turnover in order to maximise returns from its operating entities in order to deliver further value to our stakeholders.

OTOC group revenue grew from $53.3 million to $152.2 million including Whelans contribution of $20 million. This turnover generated net profit after tax from operations of $7.2 million for FY2012, which was a significant improvement from the prior year.

Rapid growth brings with it many challenges. In order to provide the Group with the most appropriate platform to manage these challenges, the management team of the Company’s major operation, OTOC Australia have been substantially restructured. We have continued to develop and grow our operational capabilities by implementing new systems, best practice procedures and investing in high calibre staff throughout the OTOC Group. This has allowed both OTOC Australia and Whelans to tender and manage larger projects and provide superior quality services. We now have a strong base with experienced employees, improved systems, quality suppliers, tier one customers and financial stability to grow the business to the next level.

Whilst there will be some uncertainty over the timing and value of new resources projects in the medium term we still see a strong pipeline of projects into the future and both OTOC Australia and Whelans have a strong order book as we move into 2013. I believe demand from the energy and resources sectors will continue to underpin infrastructure construction activity throughout the north West and with the recently completed Macedon Project, OTOC is well positioned to take advantage of continued development in both the oil and gas and iron ore sectors.

On behalf of the Board of OTOC I would like to thank all employees, past and present for their efforts and contribution over the past year. I look forward to reporting to you on OTOC’s progress during the year ahead as the benefits of the measures we have put in place bear fruit in FY2013.

Derek La Ferla CHAIRMAn 28 September 2012

==> picture [140 x 145] intentionally omitted <==

Years of red dirt, heat and a myriad of opportunities in the north-west saw the formation of Ocean to Outback Electrical back in 2003. This was the start of an incredible journey which led to the restructure of Ocean to Outback Contracting (OTOC) in 2008 and a sustained period of hard work, much change and tremendous growth.

==> picture [298 x 145] intentionally omitted <==

Our operations at Whelans also has a first class reputation with its customers, from developers, resource companies, through to government departments. Whelans is an established part of the Western Australian professional landscape.

OTOC is now an ASX listed group of companies with interests in infrastructure, surveying, town planning and mapping, spread over a dozen locations where our three hundred plus employees now work.

It is through the commitment, loyalty, and dedication of our staff that we have been able to shape the success of the OTOC group and remain focussed on our culture of teamwork, safety and work life balance.

For both OTOC and Whelans, opportunities for further expansion into the Energy sector will provide the group with not only increased revenue and earnings, but the ability to broaden our client base.

I’m often asked about the future of the resources sector in Australia, and believe that the outlook remains positive, with a large number of projects committed and demand for infrastructure continuing well into the future. The world’s demand for energy and resources has not stopped. Mining and allied services form the backbone of the Western Australian and Australian economies. This is not something that will change overnight.

The OTOC group achieved a 185% increase in revenue during FY2012 to $152 million. This produced a profit from operating activities of $7.2 million and a profit after tax from continuing operations of $6.2 million. Whilst I am pleased with our FY2012 results I believe that we can do better in FY2013. This belief is based on our behind the scenes work investing in the right systems, resources and people so that we face FY2013 as a stronger more efficient business group.

I believe the prospects for both OTOC Australia and Whelans during FY2013 to be strong, with multiple projects in our pipeline, and further projects due to be awarded over the period.

OTOC Australia has an enviable tender success rate that is above industry average. This is not something that came about overnight, but is the result of years of delivering quality projects on time, and on budget. We have developed in-depth and detailed understanding of our customer’s requirements. This relates not only to our tier one clients but also to the ultimate user, their employees.

Further details on our performance for the year are contained in the sections that follow. I encourage you to read them.

Moving forward into the new financial year and beyond, we are equally determined to continue with this winning combination to ensure even more success for all of us to share in.

The reason why we have such a powerful synergy within our team and why our people adhere and uphold our values is because they created them. Those values are;

Equality – Leadership – Integrity – Teamwork - Enjoyment

OUR CULTURE

Everyone knows and understands that we all play an important part and contribute to the success of OTOC through our actions. Therefore supporting those values are attitudes and behaviors which have been purposefully agreed to by everyone to ensure we create our culture by design, which has been accredited to our success and sets the standard we expect at OTOC.

OUR BEHAVIORS

Equality – This means to us that everyone must roll up their sleeves and shoulder their fair share of the workload. no one is too big or hides from the tasks at hand. We all put in a full days effort and if required a bit more to ensure we deliver on our commitments.

Leadership – Our culture empowers our people, as we trust them to demonstrate “personal Leadership” and to do the right thing, even when nobody is looking, as it’s all about ensuring we deliver on our commitments.

Integrity – This means to us that we follow through on what we said we would do. And if we can’t, we are not afraid to ask for help, because we are “One Team” and it’s all about ensuring we deliver on our commitments.

Teamwork – There will be times when your team mate will need hand to complete the task. It doesn’t matter if they are from yours or a different department, we get in and help out, because

we are “One Team” and it’s about ensuring we deliver on our commitments.

Enjoyment - We’re not lazy

OUR TRAINING

OTOC understands that the skills and attitudes of our people, influence the outcome of our products. Therefore we are passionate about continual improvement and growing our people through consistent and quality training, coaching and mentoring. To facilitate this, the company has invested in both the human and material resources to establish the OTOC Academy. During the next 12 months, we will be continuing to conduct our in-house Certificate IV in Frontline Management for all our current and for those identified as future Supervisors. The next level to this training program will be to introduce Diploma level training which will be made available for those leadership positions who require it. Both internal and external trainers will continue to conduct site based and corporate training covering subject matter relevant to industry, community and life skills.

OUR COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY

OTOC understands and prioritises its corporate responsibility by giving back to local communities through various initiatives. Starting at the grass roots, we sponsor sporting organisations like the Three Springs netball Club, CBC Cricket team through to Cockburn Cougars. Our CEO participated in the ST Vincent’s CEO Sleepout and we regularly denote to Humanitarian 1%, Leukaemia Foundation, WA Special needs Children’s Christmas party, Royal Flying Doctors Service and WA School Canteen.

We are also ambassadors for the initiative “Kids Helping Kids”, which supplies food and fuel vouchers to families with serious ill or disadvantage children, in regional areas, via the professional services at local hospitals. Due to remote locations, travel expenses and the costs of medical costs some families experience severe financial pressure and therefore these vouchers help alleviate some of burden. The Kids Helping Kids initiative also encourages healthy children to do extra chores around the house so they too can donate part of their pocket money to help these families. OTOC is committed to contributing back to the communities where we derive our existence from.

7. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended 30 June 2012 the Company achieved net profit after tax of $5,535,000 (2011: loss $796,136).

The acquisition of OTOC Group Pty Ltd (“OGPL”) was successfully completed on the 13 October 2011 and shortly thereafter the Company changed its name to OTOC Limited to better reflect the underlying business of the group. The acquisition has been deemed to be a reverse acquisition under AASB 3 Business Combinations and as such these financial statements are deemed to be those of OGPL and the results of the existing OTOC Limited business have been consolidated from the date of acquisition.

The Company achieved operating revenue of $152,200,000 and net profit after tax from continuing operations of $5,535,000. The profit after tax includes a non-cash gain of $3,400,000 on the revaluation of the contingent consideration relating to Performance Shares on the OGPL acquisition. The results were achieved from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries OGPL (12 months of operations) and Whelans (WA) Pty Ltd (9 months of operations being from date of acquisition of OGPL to 30 June 2012).

The consolidation was undertaken on 1 September 2011.

On 13 October 2011, the Company announced the completion of the OTOC transaction referred to in 7, effectively concluding the merger of OTOC and OGPL. The transaction was concluded by the issue of 50 million Shares and 20 million performance Shares to the vendors as consideration for the acquisition.

On 3 July 2012, the Company announced it had entered into an Asset Sale and Purchase Deed for the sale of ESC’s Emerson Stewart Consulting Division which provides environmental, engineering and project delivery consulting services (Emerson Stewart Consulting Division) to PDC Design Pty Ltd. Following a thorough strategic review by the Company, the board resolved that the Emerson Stewart Consulting Division business was regarded as noncore to the strategic future of OTOC and the decision was made to divest the division to crystallise value for OTOC shareholders. The sale was completed on 3 September 2012 and OTOC received approximately $1,000 thousand as consideration for the sale of the Emerson Stewart business.

Further information about the likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

11. REMUNERATION REPORT – Audited (continued)

Non-executive director remuneration policy

The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors shall be determined from time-to-time by a general meeting. The Constitution was amended by special resolution of the members on 30 November 2011 with the aggregate remuneration increasing from $250,000 to $300,000 per annum, which is to be apportioned amongst Non-Executive Directors.

The Company has entered into engagement letters with its current Non-Executive Directors; refer details of the contractual arrangements on page 10 and 12 of this remuneration report.

Retirement payments, if any, are agreed to be determined in accordance with the rules set out in the Corporations Act 2001 at the time of the Directors retirement or termination. Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration may include an incentive portion consisting of bonuses and/or options, as considered appropriate by the Board, which may be subject to shareholder approval in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Executive remuneration policy

The Company’s broad remuneration policy is to ensure the remuneration package properly reflects the person’s duties and responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality. The Company aims to reward executives with a level of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Company so as to attract and retain executives of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.

Remuneration is regularly compared with the external market by participation in industry salary surveys and during recruitment activities generally. If required, the Board may engage an external consultant to provide independent advice in the form of a written report detailing market levels of remuneration for comparable executive roles.

Performance Linked Compensation

The Group’s Short Term Incentive Benefit (“STIB”) is calculated as a percentage of a bonus pool, based on EBIT performance above targets set by the Board from time to time, and is dependent on the executive achieving various key performance indicators for their relevant business line. The STIB for each executive is capped at 100% of their salary.

There were no short-term incentives payments made to executives for the year ended 30 June 2012.

The Group bases its Long Term Incentive Benefit (“LTIB”) on a combination of continued valued service of the particular executive and overall corporate performance of the Group as a whole so as to align each of the executive’s incentives with the total performance of the Group.

The LTIB was payable in the form of executive options. A portion of the options were subject to attainment of designated special key performance indicators at the scheduled time of their vesting being 30 June 2012. These KPI’s involved comparing the Group’s Total Shareholder Return to the ASX Small Industrial’s Index at 30 June 2012 and the three years leading up to that time, thereby aligning the Group performance with that of the executive. The designated key performance indicators were not met and therefore the portion of executive options that were performance based lapsed as at 30 June 2012. Refer to Section (f) of this Remuneration Report.

11. REMUNERATION REPORT – Audited (continued)

Analysis of shares granted as compensation

On 20 July 2009 shareholders approved the implementation of the ESW Employee share plan (‘the Plan’). The purpose of the plan is to attract, motivate and retain key employees. Persons eligible to participate in the Plan are all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries specifically excluding directors (‘Participants’). Shares are provided to Participants through a trust arrangement, either by issuing new Shares, acquiring existing Shares on market or off-market. OTC ESP Pty Ltd has been appointed as a trustee to administer the Plan (‘Trustee’). OTC ESP Pty Ltd is a company controlled by Mr Tom Lawrence, director of the Company. The Trustee does not have any discretion to act otherwise than for the benefit of the Participants of the Plan and in accordance with the directions of the Board. The Trustee will acquire Shares in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement and in accordance with the direction of the Board from time to time will allocate those shares to units (‘Share Units’) and issue those Share Units to Participants. Participants may be allocated Share Units in recognition of successful achievement of the required performance criteria and/or as part of their total ordinary remuneration. Details of vesting profiles of the Shares granted as remuneration under the Plan to each key management person are detailed below:

15. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE

In the majority of the OTOC’s business situations, OTOC is not the owner or operator of plant and equipment requiring environmental licences. OTOC typically assists its clients with the management of their environmental responsibilities, rather than holding those responsibilities directly.

The Group is not aware of any breaches by OTOC of any environmental regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia, or of a State or Territory.

16. PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE GROUP

There are no proceedings on behalf of the Group under Section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 in the financial year or at the date of the report.

During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties.

The board has considered the non – audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with advice provided by the Audit and Risk Committee, are satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the audit committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and the nonaudit services provided do not undermine the general principals relating to the auditor independence as set out in APES110 Code of Ethics for the Professional Accountants , as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditors own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

17. LEAD AUDITORS INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 67 and forms part of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2012.

18. ROUNDING

Details for the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services to the Group provided during the year are set out below.

Board Responsibilities

The Board is responsible for the overall management and strategic direction of the Company and for delivering accountable corporate performance in accordance with the Company’s goals and objectives.

To ensure that the Board is well equipped to discharge its responsibilities, it has established guidelines for the nomination and selection of directors and for the operation of the Board as well as separate committees of the board including a Nomination committee and Remuneration and an Audit and Risk Management Committee.

Composition of the Board

The skills experience and expertise relevant to the position held by each director in office at the date of this report are included in the Directors Report forming part of this Annual Report. Members of the Board are appointed in the terms of the Company’s Constitution and under the guidance of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Although the election of Board members is substantially the province of the Shareholders in general meeting, the Company commits to the following principles:

  • Executives receive a base salary (based on factors such as skills, experience, value to the Group and length of service), superannuation and, as appropriate, performance incentives, including by way of longer term share options and shorter term cash bonus entitlements. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (on reference from, and in consultation with, the CEO) reviews executive packages from time to time by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry standards.

  • The maximum remuneration of non-executive directors is the subject of Shareholder resolution in accordance with the Group’s Constitution, the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing rules, as applicable. The apportionment of non-executive director remuneration within that maximum is made by the Board having regard to the inputs and value to the Group of the respective contributions by each non-executive director. The Board may also award additional remuneration to non-executive directors called upon to perform extra services or make special exertions on behalf of the Group.

Greater details of the remuneration arrangements for Directors and key management personnel are contained in the Remuneration Report comprised in the Directors’ Report forming part of this Annual Report.

Name Term in Office Derek La Ferla Appointed 2 November 2011 Adam Lamond Appointed 13 October 2011 Dario Amara Appointed 29 January 2008 Tom Lawrence Appointed 13 October 2011

The Board has considered the guidance to Principle 2 of the ASX Recommendations and in particular the relationships affecting the independent status of directors. In its assessment of independence, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Relationships that the Board will take into consideration when evaluating independence are whether a Director:

  • is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;

  • is employed, or has previously been employed in an executive capacity by the Company or another Company member, and there has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

19. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

The assessment of whether a Board member is independent is a matter of judgement for the Board as a whole and includes concepts of materiality. In the context of independence, materiality is considered from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial if it is equal to or less than 5% of an appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered include the nature of the relationship or contractual arrangement and factors that could materially interfere with the independent exercise of the director’s judgement. In accordance with the definition of independence above and the materiality thresholds, the following directors of OTOC are considered to be independent.

Directors must keep the board advised, on an ongoing basis, of any interest that could potentially conflict with those of the Group. The board has developed procedures to assist directors to disclose potential conflicts of interest.

Where the board believes that a significant conflict exists for a director on a board matter, the director concerned does not receive the relevant board papers and is not present at the meeting whilst the item is considered. Each director is required by the Company to declare on an annual basis the details of any financial or other relevant interest they may have in the Company. There are procedures in place, to enable directors in furtherance of their duties to seek independent professional advice at the Company’s expense. Details of director related entity transactions with the Group are set out in note 26 to the consolidated financial statements.

Code of Conduct

The Group has developed a code of conduct which states the Group’s and its employees’ commitment to the conduct of its business with employees, customers, funders, retailers and other external parties.

The code is directed at maintaining high ethical standards and integrity. Employees are expected to adhere to the Group’s policies, perform their duties diligently, properly use Group resources, protect confidential information and avoid conflicts of interest.

Audit and Risk Management Committee

While the Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework, the Board has established the Audit and Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for approving and monitoring risk management policies. The Committee reports regularly to the Board on its activities.

The chief executive officer and the chief financial officer have provided assurance, in writing to the board, that the financial reporting risk management and associated compliance and controls have been assessed and found to be operating effectively. The operational and other risk management compliance and controls have also been assessed and found to be operating effectively.

The Code is acknowledged by all employees and is publicly available on the Group’s website www.otoclimited.com.au.

Communication with shareholders

The board provides shareholders with information using a comprehensive Release of Price Sensitive Information Policy which includes identifying matters that may have a material effect on the price of the Group’s securities, notifying them to the ASX, posting them on the Group’s website, and issuing media releases. More details of the policy are available on the Group’s website www.otoclimited.com.au.

Note 1: Reporting entity

OTOC Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2012 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The consolidated annual financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2012 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Level 1, 43 Kishorn Road Applecross WA 6153. The Group primarily is involved in providing resources and infrastructure services.

Note 2: Basis of preparation

(a) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements and have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

This consolidated annual financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2012.

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998 and in accordance with that Class Order, amounts in the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(b) Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

  • contract revenue and work in progress

  • financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value

  • available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value

  • liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at fair value.

(c) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this consolidated interim financial report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2012.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Basis of consolidation

==> picture [42 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

(i) Statement of cash flows

(a) Reverse acquisition accounting

On 13 October 2011, Emerson Stewart Group Limited, subsequently renamed OTOC Limited (“OTOC”) completed an acquisition of OTOC Group Pty Ltd (OGPL). In accordance with the accounting standards, this acquisition has been treated as a reverse acquisition business combination for accounting purposes. In applying the requirements of AASB 3 Business Combinations to the Group:

  • a) OTOC Limited remains the legal parent of the Group; and

  • b) OGPL is deemed to the accounting acquirer.

The consolidated financial information incorporated the assets and liabilities of all the entities deemed to be acquired by OGPL, and the results from those entities from the date those entities are deemed to be acquired by OGPL. The assets and liabilities of OTOC were recorded at fair value while the assets and liabilities of OGPL were maintained at book value.

As the transaction occurred mid-month the results of OTOC have been consolidated effective 1 October 2011. The impacts of all transactions between the entities in the Group were eliminated in full. The impact on equity of treating the formation of the Group as a reverse acquisition is discussed in more detail in note 5.

AASB 3 Business Combinations requires that consolidated financial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition be issued under the name of the legal parent (OTOC), but be a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (OGPL – the acquirer for accounting purposes). The impact of applying AASB on each of the primary financial statements comparatives is as follows:

(i) Statement of financial position

The statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011 represents OGPL only. The consolidated annual financial position as at 30 June 2012 represents the combined position of OTOC.

(ii) Statement of comprehensive income

The statement of comprehensive income for the period ending 30 June 2011 represents OGPL only. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period ending 30 June 2012 includes the results of OGPL for the full year and OTOC from the date of acquisition (1 October 2011) to 30 June 2012.

(iii) Statement of changes in equity

The 2011 statement of changes in equity comprises OGPL only for the period to 30 June 2011. The 2012 opening retained earnings balances and other equity balances recognised are those of OGPL before the business combination.

The comprehensive income for the period includes the results of OGPL for the year to 30 June 2012, and the results of OTOC from the date of acquisition (1 October 2011) to 30 June 2012.

The statement of cash flows for the period to 30 June 2011 comprises OGPL only for the year to 30 June 2011. Cash flows for the period to 30 June 2012 includes those of OGPL for the year to 30 June 2012, and those of OTOC from the date of acquisition (1 October 2011) to 30 June 2012.

(ii) Business combinations

The Group has adopted revised AASB 3 Business Combinations (2008) and amended AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2008) for business combinations occurring in the financial year starting 1 July 2009. All business combinations occurring on or after 1 July 2009 are accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

For every business combination, the Group identifies the acquirer, which is the combining entity that obtains control of the other combining entities or businesses.

Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are exposed as incurred.

The Group measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date.

Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Group. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration and share-based payments awards of the acquiree that are replaced mandatorily in the business combination. If a business combination results in the termination of pre-existing relationships between the Group and the acquiree, then the lower of the termination amount, as contained in the agreement, and the value of the off-market element is deducted from the consideration transferred and recognised in other expenses.

(iii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

(iv) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Financial instruments

(i) Non-derivative financial assets

The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Financial instruments (continued)

(iii) Share capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

Repurchase of share capital (treasury shares)

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to / from retained earnings.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: loans and receivables.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Loans and receivables

(i) Recognition and measurement

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables.

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group initially recognises financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts, performance shares and trade and other payables.

Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at fair value for performance shares, and amortised cost using the effective interest rate method for all others.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on either a straight-line or diminishing value basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use.

  • The depreciation rates for the current and comparative periods are as follows:  Plant and equipment 2.5% - 50%  Motor vehicles 25%

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Intangible assets and goodwill

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill (negative goodwill) arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

==> picture [42 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(f) Impairment (continued)

(i) Non-derivative financial assets (including receivables) (continued)

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

Subsequent measurement

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see note 3(f)(ii)). In respect of equity-accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investee as a whole.

(ii) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets including customer relationships that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

(iii) 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.

(iv) Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 Customer relationships 5 years

(f) Impairment

(i) Non-derivative financial assets (including receivables)

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of an active market for a security.

The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables and are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together receivables with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at the same time.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(g) Assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter, generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group first is allocated to goodwill, and then to remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and employee benefit assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains of losses on remeasurment are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss.

Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(h) Employee benefits

(i) Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods plus related on-costs.

(ii) Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(l) Leased assets

(i) Lease payments

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

(ii) Lease classification

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(iii) Share-based payment transactions

The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options for which the related service and nonmarket vesting conditions are met.

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised in the Group's statement of financial position. Investment property held under an operating lease is recognised on the Group's statement of financial position at its fair value.

(m) Finance income and expense

(i) Provisions

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(j) Revenue

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. Construction contract revenue is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract expenses are recognised as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity.

(k) Work in progress

Work in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognised to date less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group's contract activities based on normal operating capacity.

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested and fair value gains on remeasurement to fair value of financial liabilities. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method. Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit and loss using the effective interest method.

(n) Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised.

Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(n) Income tax (continued)

(i) Tax consolidation

The Group and its wholly-owned entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the taxconsolidated group are taxed as a single entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is OTOC Limited.

The Group recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

(ii) Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing arrangements

The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has entered into a tax funding arrangement which sets out the funding obligations of members of the tax-consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. The head entity in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group has also entered into a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for the determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing agreement is considered remote.

(o) Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

(p) Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(q) Segment reporting

Determination and presentation of operating segments

The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the CEO, who is the Group's chief operating decision maker. Comparative segment information has been re-presented in conformity with the transitional requirements of such standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation and disclosure aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. All operating segments' operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group's CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Group's headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill.

(r) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations were effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2011, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

(s) Presentation of financial statements

The Group presents in the consolidated statement of changes in equity all owner changes in equity, whereas all nonowner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Comparative information has been re-presented so it also is in conformity with the revised standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.

(t) Determination of fair values

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(i) Property, plant and equipment

Following the reverse acquisition, earning per share have been calculated in accordance with the specific guidance provided in AASB 3 Business Combination .

The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The market value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the quoted market prices for similar items.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)

(u) Determination of fair values (continued)

(ii) Intangible assets

The fair value of customer relationships acquired in a business combination is determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, whereby the subject asset is valued after deducting a fair return on all other assets that are part of creating the related cash flows.

(iii) Trade and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, but including service concession receivables, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

(iv) Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of employee stock options is measured using a binomial lattice model. The fair value of share appreciation rights is measured using the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo formula.

Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted average expected life of the instruments (based on historical experience and general option holder behaviour), expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.

Note 4: Estimates

The preparation of interim financial reports requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this consolidated interim financial report, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial report as at and for the year ended 30 June 2011. The key estimates include valued work in progress and contractual revenue recognition.

Note 5: Business combination

a) Acquisition of OGPL by OTOC

On 23 September 2011 the acquisition of OGPL by OTOC was approved by shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting, with the acquisition taking place on 13 October 2011 (effective date 1 October 2011).

(i) Accounting and disclosure implication of the acquisition

Under the accounting standards, the acquisition of OGPL by OTOC is accounted for as a business combination. Given the Board and Management composition, equity holding of the respective parties as well as other factors, the transaction was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. As such, OGPL is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, while OTOC remains the legal parent. Refer to note 3(a) for the implications of this reverse acquisition.

Under the accounting guidance, the consideration that OGPL is deemed to have paid for OTOC is the fair value of OTOC’s equity at the date of acquisition, which was $14.5 million. This value has been allocated to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Under the terms of the acquisition, an additional 20 million performance shares are to be issued to the existing OGPL vendors should the earnings before interest and tax (“EBIT”) of OGPL be greater than $5.5 million for the year to 30 June 2012, with an additional 5 shares issued for every dollar of EBIT over this (capped to a maximum of 40 million shares). The board has determined that OGPL is likely to meet the full $6.5 million target. As such, these shares have been included in the calculation of the consideration paid, and recorded as a financial liability on the date of acquisition (see note 29).

(ii) Summary of acquisition

The details of consideration and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired at 1 October 2011 are as follows:

Risk management strategies

The Group is primarily exposed to (i) credit risks; (ii) liquidity risks; and (iii) interest rate risks. The nature and extent of risk exposure, and the Group's risk management strategies are noted below.

Credit risks

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.

Credit risk is kept continually under review and managed to reduce the incidence of material losses being incurred by the non-receipt of monies due.

Credit risk is managed through monitoring and follow-up of accounts receivable on a regular basis, and follow up on overdue customer balances.

Bad debts are written off in the year in which they are identified. Specific provisions are made against identified doubtful debts. An assessment of expected losses is made based on past experience and customer payment history patterns.

There has been no change in the above policy since prior year.

Note 28: Financial instruments (continued)

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is:

The Group does not hold collateral against the credit risks, however, management considers the credit risks to be low on account of the risk management policy noted above. The trading terms generally offer 30 days credit from the date of invoice. As of the reporting date, none of the receivables have been subject to renegotiated terms.

The ageing analysis of past due trade receivables at reporting date are:

The Group does not hold collaterals in relation to past due trade receivables.

The Group is also subject to credit risks arising from the failure of financial institutions that hold entity’s cash and cash equivalents. However, the management considers this risk to be negligible.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables at the reporting date by geographic region was $13,429 thousand (2011: $13,341 thousand) for Australia. The allowance for impairment for 2012 amounted to $322,000 (2011: nil).

Based on historic default rates, the Group believes that, apart from the above, no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of trade receivables not past due or past due by up to 30 days.

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect trade receivables during the year was as follows:

The Group typically trades with counterparts that are considered blue-chip as a means of mitigating credit risk.

Note 28: Financial instruments (continued)

Liquidity risks

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties to meet its contractual obligations arising from the financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk is constantly monitored and managed through forecasting short term operating cash requirements and the committed cash outflows on financial liabilities.

Maturity analysis of contractual undiscounted cash-flows on financial liabilities at reporting date.

There has been no change in the above policy since prior year.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including interest:

Note 28: Financial instruments (continued)

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and cash-flows of the Group's financial instruments will be affected by changes in the market interest rates.

The Group's cash and cash equivalents are exposed to interest rate risks. 28% (2011: 35%) of cash and cash equivalents are held on a fixed rate basis.

The Group’s loans and borrowings are exposes to interest rate risks. An average nominal interest rate of 9.3%, being the average of all current facilities in note 16, has been used to calculate sensitivity.

Capital Management

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of Directors has not implemented a formal capital management policy however they have implemented a dividend policy.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the year.

The Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Currency risk

The Group receivables are all denominated in Australian dollars and accordingly no currency risk exists.

It is not expected that the cash flows included in the maturity analysis could occur significantly earlier, or at significantly different amounts.

Contingent consideration relates to performance shares that became issuable to the existing vendors of OGPL as a result of the business achieving set earnings before interest and taxation targets for the financial year ended 30 June 2012, refer to note 6(a)(i). 20,000,000 performance shares were issued with a right for 20,000,000 ordinary shares plus an additional 20,000,000 ordinary shares if maximum performance earnings before interest and taxation target of $6.5 million be achieved.

The performance shares value at the date of issue was $8,000,000 represented by 40 million shares valued at 20 cents per share. Due to the share price of OTOC Limited decreasing from $0.20 per share at the date of acquisition to $0.115 per share as at 30 June 2012 a gain of $3.4 million has been recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

On 28 September the Directors passed a resolution to issue 40 million shares to the vendors of OGPL as the maximum performance earnings before interest and taxation target of $6.5 million was achieved. As a result the $4,600,000 financial liability was transferred to share capital on 28 September 2012.
