5. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
OTOC through its wholly owned subsidiaries OTOC Australia Pty Ltd and Whelans Australia Pty Ltd (“Whelans”) provides construction and turnkey camp/village installations, environmental, surveying, mapping, town planning, engineering, project delivery and specialist consulting services across the infrastructure, resources and energy sectors. The Group has six offices located at strategic locations within Western Australia and in excess of three hundred and fifty staff. The following significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group occurred during the year:
-
(i) The Company was awarded a formal contract for Stage 1 of the Nauru processing centre, a 900-person facility. The contract is for an initial amount of $28.7 million and provides the Company with a platform to target further Government–sponsored construction work at Nauru and elsewhere. The entry into the Government sector with the Nauru contract compliments the resources construction expertise and provides the Company with a diversified revenue base to help shelter earnings from any prolonged downturn in the resources sector.
-
(ii) The Company expanded its Facilities division via the acquisition of full ownership of a 700 person commercial kitchen/diner facility. The acquisition is consistent with the Company’s strategy of growing its Facilities division and associated recurring revenue base.

6. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended 30 June 2013 the Group achieved net profit after tax of $5.2 million, $4.6 million after discontinued operations (2012: $5.5 million) and profit from operating activities (EBIT) of $7.7 million (2012: $7.2 million).
This record result was achieved despite a general slowdown in the mining infrastructure market and demonstrates OTOC’s success in two strategic focus areas: business diversification and improved financial management.
A key focus for the Group has been the introduction of improved internal processes and management systems to better monitor costs and create a best practice environment for our workforce. These improvements have had a positive impact on OTOC’s earnings, as shown by an increase in the EBIT margin from 4.8% in FY2012 to 6.7% in FY2013. The Company is confident these improvements will continue to have a positive impact on the Group’s profits going forward.
Diversifying group revenue and order book has been a strategic priority for OTOC, in order to combat a structural shift in demand in the mining infrastructure market. Significant changes to the earnings mix of OTOC during FY2013 include:
-
Entry into the Government construction sector via the award of the Nauru processing centre contract. This contract will have a material impact on OTOC earnings in FY2014 and positions OTOC for further Government-sponsored construction work as well as other offshore engagements;
-
Creation of two new divisions within the Company; Facilities and Remote Communications, providing additional high-margin, recurring income streams; and
-
Expansion of Whelans through continued investment in regional service offerings and aerial mapping projects. Whelans recorded FY2013 revenue of $29.2 million (up 47%) and EBIT of $2.9 million (up 73%).
The Group reported a significant improvement in operating cash flow in FY2013 (FY2013: $7.9 million, FY2012: $0.9 million), enabling the Group to reduce its debt position and provide an improved working capital position going forward.
The Company’s other wholly owned subsidiary Emerson Stewart Pty Ltd contributed a loss after tax of $636,000 (2012: $678,000). OTOC sold the Emerson Stewart business during the financial year.

6.1.2 Business Model
OTOC group generates most of its income from the provision of remote area infrastructure solutions. Revenue is generated from Government, resources and communications infrastructure, surveying, town planning and aerial mapping. OTOC employs in excess of three hundred and fifty workers in a dozen locations. This combination of annuity stream income plus large infrastructure projects offers a balanced portfolio. The Group’s earnings are currently driven by its two wholly-owned businesses, OTOC Australia and Whelans Australia.
6.1.3 Review of Operations
Key points to assist in understanding OTOC’s results are as below:
| Key Item | FY2013 $000 |
FY2012 $000 |
Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 113,934 | 152,177 | During FY13 systems and management were put in place to consolidate the revenue base and derive increased earnings from that revenue. The tendering selection process was refined to meet group objectives of improved margin ahead of revenue. |
| Expenses | 106,237 | 144,934 | Reductions in overheads and costs associated with infrastructureprojects. |
| Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) from continuing operations |
7,697 | 7,243 | EBIT/EBITDA growth is a result of a concerted strategy to grow earnings ahead of Revenue. |

6.2 Financial Position, Performance and Cashflow
6.2.1 Dividends
No dividends were declared and paid by the Company during the financial period.
6.3 Business Strategy, Outlook and Risks
6.3.1 Business Strategy
The Group’s strategy is to grow and expand its existing resources, Government and surveying operations and create new opportunities, to maximize and increase stakeholder value and returns. The Company has received Government contractor certification, this area of the business has developed into a significant revenue stream. OTOC Australia now has the capability to contract directly with the Federal Government, which could lead to opportunities to tender for defense infrastructure projects. Whelans currently contracts to numerous WA State Government departments and local councils.
6.3.2 Outlook
A highly experienced Board of Directors and management team have refocussed the team from rapid growth to sustainable organic growth. With existing contracts in Government, mining, oil and gas sectors, and new projects in the pipeline, the OTOC group foresees opportunities for further expansion and diversification, which will provide the Group with increased earnings and long-term sustainability.
In particular OTOC Australia was recently awarded a $28.7m contract for Stage 1 of the Nauru Processing Centre (‘RPC 1”), part of the Commonwealth Government’s regional processing arrangements, and are currently awaiting a decision on the award of RPC 2.
OTOC Australia is also currently completing the $32m installation of accommodation units at Rio Tinto’s Brockman 4 Operations Village (Nammuldi). This contract is expected to be completed in late 2013 and has resulted in additional variations works.
Whelans Australia was also recently awarded contracts totalling $4.3m for Survey Services and Aerial Acquisition works which will form part of FY14. The company continues to generate consistent revenue and earnings and expect to continue to benefit from investment in its regional office network.
6.3.3 Risks
There are specific risks associated with the activities of the Group and general risks which are largely beyond the control of the Company and the Directors. The most significant risks identified that may have a material impact on the future financial performance of the Company and the market price of the Group’s shares are:
OTOC LIMITED 6
==> picture [169 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
6.3.3.1 Project Delivery Risk
Execution of projects involves professional judgment regarding scheduling, development and construction. Failure to meet scheduled milestones could result in professional product liability, warranty or other claims against the Company. The Company maintains a range of insurance policies and risk mitigation programs designed to closely monitor progress or works.
6.3.3.2 Legal and Contractual Risk
Errors, omissions or incorrect rates and quantities mean OTOC may not achieve full benefits of project deliverables and may lead to a negative impact on financial performance. Additionally, failure to understand the contract terms can lead to disputes with third parties and litigation over contractual terms. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by following a tendering process and estimation programme and using the knowledge and experience of staff to conduct pricing appropriately and contract review and screening.
6.3.3.3 Competition Risk
Competitive markets can place downward pressure on margins and can lead to a risk of decreased market share. OTOC seeks to mitigate this risk by seeking to target projects where we have expertise and competitive advantage while also effectively managing costs and margins.
6.3.3.4 Partner Risk
OTOC occasionally operates through a joint venture style partnering arrangement. The success of these arrangements depends on the satisfactory performance by our partners of their obligations. The failure of our partners to meet obligations could impose additional financial and / or performance obligations on OTOC which could have an impact on our reputation or financial results. OTOC seeks to mitigate this risk by conducting due diligence in relation to potential partners and by undertaking compliance reviews and regularly monitoring the performance of joint venture operations.
7. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
On 9 October 2012, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, OTOC Group Pty Ltd, achieved earnings above that forecasted for FY2012 when it was acquired by the Company in 2011. As a result 20 million performance shares issued as part consideration under the Heads of Agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of OTOC Group Pty Ltd in October 2011 converted into 40 million ordinary shares. Accordingly the Company issued 40 million shares valued at $4.6 million.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Other than the above, there are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.
9. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
OTOC intends to focus on the growth of its two core businesses, OTOC Australia and Whelans, including the expansion of the Facilities division with a focus on growing its recurring revenue base to deliver strong returns to its shareholders.

- b) Remuneration policy
The Group has high expectations of its people, especially its executive leadership team. The Group aligns the performance outcomes of its executives with its own corporate outcomes and as such remuneration will be based on merit, performance and responsibilities assigned and undertaken.
The Group has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee, which is responsible for:
-
Assessing appropriate remuneration policies, levels and packages for Board Members, the CEO, and (in consultation with the CEO) other senior executive officers;
-
Monitoring the implementation by the Group of such remuneration policies; and
-
Recommending the Group’s remuneration policy so as to:
-
motivate directors and management to pursue the long-term growth and success of the Group within an appropriate control framework; and
-
demonstrate a clear relationship between key executive performance and remuneration.
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 service agreements with its current Non-Executive Directors; refer details of the contractual arrangements on page 12 to 14 of this remuneration report.
OTOC LIMITED 9
==> picture [169 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
10. REMUNERATION REPORT – Audited (continued)
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 appropriately 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.
The executive remuneration framework has three components:
-
Base pay and benefits, including superannuation
-
Short-term incentives
-
Long-term incentives through participation in Company’s Employee Share Plan (refer to section 10(h)(iv) of this remuneration report for further information)
Base pay
Executives receive their base pay which is reviewed annually or on promotion. Base pay is benchmarked against market data for comparable roles in the market.
There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any executive contracts.
Superannuation
Statutory superannuation is payable in addition to the base pay.
Short-term incentives
Executives have the opportunity to earn an additional annual short-term incentive (STI) if predefined targets are achieved (KPIs). The Group’s STIs are calculated as a percentage of a bonus pool, based on EBIT performance above targets set by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee from time to time, and is dependent on the executive achieving various key performance indicators for their relevant business line. The STI for each executive is capped at 100% of their salary.
The CEO had a target STI of up to $100,000 payable pro-rata on the achievement of a Group EBIT of $9 million (30%) STI payable) to $10.8 million (100% STI payable) for the financial year ended 30 June 2013. Other executives have similar target STIs linked to EBITs for their individual divisions.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for determining the STI to be paid based on an assessment of whether the KPIs are met.
OTOC LIMITED 10
==> picture [169 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
10. REMUNERATION REPORT – Audited (continued)
To assist in this assessment, the Committee receives detailed reports on performance from management. There were no short-term incentive payments made to executives for the year ended 30 June 2013.
Long-term incentives
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.
In previous financial years, 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 2011. These KPIs involved comparing the Group’s Total Shareholder Return to the ASX Small Industrials Index at 30 June 2011 and the three years leading up to that time, thereby aligning the Group performance with that of the executives. The designated key performance indicators were not met and therefore the portion of executive options that were performance based lapsed as at 30 June 2011. Refer to Section (h) of this Remuneration Report for further information.
Additionally, 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. Refer to section 10(h)(iv) of this remuneration report for further information on the Plan.
c) Use of Remuneration Consultants
In January 2013, the Company’s Remuneration and Nomination Committee engaged Brian Briscoe from Briscoe Search and Consulting to conduct research and submit information regarding executive salary packages in the Perth market place. Briscoe Search and Consulting provided remuneration recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2011 and was paid $6,060 for these services.
Briscoe has confirmed that the recommendations were made free from undue influence by members of the Group’s key management personnel. The following arrangements were made to ensure that the remuneration recommendations were free from undue influence:
-
Briscoe was engaged by, and reported directly to, the chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
-
The report containing the recommendations was provided by Briscoe directly to the chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
As a consequence, the Board is satisfied that the recommendations were made free from undue influence from any members of the key management personnel.

- (iii) 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:

During the financial year the Group paid insurance premiums of $46,200 (2012: $40,570) to insure the directors, secretaries and executive officers of the Group and its subsidiary companies.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against the directors and officers in their capacity as directors and officers of OTOC Limited and its subsidiary companies, and any other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the officers in connection with such proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise out of conduct involving wilful breach of duty by the officers or the improper use by the officers of their position or of information to gain advantage for themselves or someone else to cause detriment to the Group.
The directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
13. NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to its 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 Committee, is 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.
Details for the amounts paid to KPMG, the Group’s auditor, and its related practices for audit and non-audit services to the Group provided during the year are set out below.

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 apportionment of nonexecutive 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.

Independence
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:
OTOC LIMITED 18
==> picture [169 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
18. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)
-
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;

-
is a material supplier or customer of the Company or other Company member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a material supplier or customer; or
-
has a material contractual relationship with the Company or another Company member other than as a Director.
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:
| Name | Position |
|---|---|
| Derek La Ferla | Chairman |
| Tom Lawrence | Non-Executive Director |

Ethical standards
All directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the utmost integrity and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the Group. Every employee has a nominated supervisor to whom they may refer any issues arising from their employment.
Conflict of interest
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 25 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.

The policy applies to all directors, officers, key management personnel and employees of the Group, and their associates and closely related parties (“Relevant Persons”).
The policy is compliant with the ASX Listing Rules and expressly prohibits Relevant Persons buying or selling OTOC securities where the Relevant Person or OTOC is in possession of price sensitive or ‘inside’ information and in any event without the prior approval of the Chairman or CEO.

Note 1: Reporting entity
OTOC Limited (the “Company”) is a for-profit company domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2013 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 2013 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office at Level 12, 3 Hasler Road WA 6017. 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 26 September 2013.
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:
-
financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value; and
-
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.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements relate to contract revenue and contract work in progress.
Revenue from construction contracts is recognised using the percentage of completion method. Judgement is exercised in determining the stage of completion of the contract and in reliably estimating the total contract revenue and contract costs to completion. The stage of contract completion is generally measured by reference to physical completion. An assessment of total labour hours and other costs incurred to date as a percentage of estimated total costs for each contract is used if it is an appropriate proxy for physical completion. Task lists and milestones are also used to calculate or confirm the percentage of completion if appropriate.
OTOC LIMITED 30
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 2: Basis of preparation (continued)
- (c) Use of estimates and judgements (continued)
The key judgement in determining revenue from construction contracts is estimating the unapproved variations and claims to be included in project forecast revenue. The Company uses its best estimate and its expertise to determine the value included supported by qualified external experts where necessary. The outcome of the events which are the subject of these judgements are by nature uncertain such that final positions resolved with clients can differ materially from original estimates.
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.
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.
(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 be 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 6.
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 3 on each of the primary financial statements comparatives is as follows:
(i) Statement of financial position
The consolidated financial position as at 30 June 2012 and 2013 represents the combined position of all entities comprised within the Group.
OTOC LIMITED 31
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Reverse acquisition accounting (continued)
(ii) Statement of comprehensive income
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ending 30 June 2013 represents all entities comprised within the Group. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year 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 consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period ending 30 June 2013 represents all entities comprised within the Group.
The 2012 opening retained earnings balances and other equity balances recognised are those of OGPL before the business combination.
The comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2013 represents the Combined position for the Group and for the period ended 30 June 2012 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.
(b) Basis of consolidation
(i) Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows for the period to 30 June 2013 comprises the cash flows of the Group. 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.
OTOC LIMITED 32
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(ii) Business combinations (continued)
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.
(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.
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: loans and receivables.
OTOC LIMITED 33
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Financial instruments (continued)
(i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)
Loans and receivables
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.
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. Performance shares are classified at fair value through profit or loss.
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.
(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.
OTOC LIMITED 34
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(d) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
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.
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% - 80% Motor vehicles 10% - 25%
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.
(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.
OTOC LIMITED 35
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
- (e) Intangible assets and goodwill (continued)
(i) Goodwill (continued)
Subsequent measurement
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.
OTOC LIMITED 36
==> picture [493 x 36] 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.
All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
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.
OTOC LIMITED 37
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(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 remeasurement 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.
(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.
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 non-market vesting conditions are met.
(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.
OTOC LIMITED 38
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(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.
(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
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.

==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(m) Finance income and expense
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.
(i) Tax consolidation
The Group and its wholly-owned entities are part of a tax-consolidated group. As a consequence, all members of the tax-consolidated 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.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(n) Income tax (continued)
(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.
Following the reverse acquisition, earnings per share have been calculated in accordance with the specific guidance provided in AASB 3 Business Combination.
(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.

Note 3: Significant accounting policies (continued)
(q) Segment reporting (continued)
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) Prior year comparatives
Comparative information has been re-presented so it also is in conformity with the current year classification.
Note 4: 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 2013, 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.
Note 5: 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
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.
(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.
OTOC LIMITED 42
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 5: Determination of fair values (continued)
(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 6: 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 was 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 was allocated to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Under the terms of the acquisition, an additional 20 million performance shares were 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). At the time of this acquisition, the board had determined that OGPL is likely to meet the full $6.5 million target. As such, these shares were included in the calculation of the consideration paid, and recorded as a financial liability on the date of acquisition (see note 29). These shares were subsequently issued on 28 September 2012
(ii) Summary of acquisition
The details of consideration and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired at 1 October 2011 were as follows:
| Consideration Less: Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired Goodwill |
$000’s 14,577 (14,577) |
|---|---|
| - |
The fair value of the ordinary shares acquired was based on the listed share price of OTOC at 13 October 2011 of $0.20 per share plus $7,180,000 in cash raised through a share placement. Payments to OTOC Group Pty Ltd shareholders on acquisition were $5,280,000.

Note 28: Financial instruments (continued)
Overview (continued)
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through their training and management standards and procedures, aim to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The fair values and carrying amounts of various financial instruments recognised at reporting date are noted below:

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.
OTOC LIMITED 62
==> picture [493 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Note 28: Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risks (continued)
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.
The Group typically trades with counterparts that are considered blue-chip as a means of mitigating credit risk.
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is:
| Cash and cash equivalents Trade receivables |
2013 2012 $000’s $000’s 3,926 3,962 17,808 13,429 |
|---|---|
| 21,734 17,391 |
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:
| 0 - 30 days not past due Past due 1 - 30 days Past due 31 – 60 days Past due 61 – 90 days Past due 90 days Provision for impairment Total |

Note 28: Financial instruments (continued)
Credit risks (continued)
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 $17,808,000 (2012: $13,429,000) for Australia. The allowance for impairment for 2013 amounted to $47,000 (2012: $322,000).
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:
| Balance 1 July Impairment loss provided Balance at 30 June |
2013 2012 $000’s $000’s 332 - (285) 332 |
|---|---|
| 47 332 |
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 cashflows on financial liabilities at reporting date.
There has been no change in the above policy since prior year.

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 as maximum performance earnings before interest and taxation target of $6.5 million was 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 2012 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.
