DIRECTORS’ REPORT

4. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

OTOC offers surveying, planning and design services throughout Australasia. A leading provider of professional consulting and innovative spatial solutions, OTOC delivers quality service to clients across a range of industry sectors.

OTOC Australia, OTOC’s Infrastructure division provides infrastructure construction services to clients covering renewable energy, government, resources, utilities and remote areas.

OTOC’s surveying businesses Whelans, Bosco Jonson, Geo-Metric Surveying, Queensland Surveying Pty Ltd trading as THG Resource Strategists, Linker Surveying Pty Ltd (acquired 29 April 2016) and Lawrence Group Pty Ltd (acquired 29 July 2016) are highly regarded surveying consultants with expertise in land and cadastral, infrastructure and engineering surveying, aerial mapping, town planning and urban design. OTOC has a clear growth strategy to drive the consolidation of the fragmented surveying industry in Australia through strategic acquisitions that enhance the group’s offering and geographic exposure.

OTOC Limited is the Group’s holding company that is listed on the ASX under the code OTC.

OTOC has a blue chip client base and services the property, government, resources and construction sectors in Australia and strategic offshore locations.

The following significant changes in the nature of the activities of the Group occurred during the year:

  • i) The acquisition of Linker Surveying Pty Ltd on 29 April 2016: one of Sydney’s most respected land surveying firms providing OTOC with exposure to a buoyant Sydney residential market and consolidating OTOC’s national footprint consistent with OTOC’s strategy to develop a national premium surveying and town planning business;

  • ii) The Group agreed commercial terms with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia for a new acquisition facility, comprised of an approved $10 million acquisition line, in conjunction with indicative terms for a further extension to this facility of up to $25 million;

  • iii) The acquisition of Lawrence Group Pty Ltd on 29 July 2016: a multi-disciplinary surveying consultancy with expertise in residential and commercial construction, civil infrastructure and land development further enhanced OTOC’s significant presence in the important Sydney residential surveying market;

  • iv) OTOC Australia entered into joint venture with Juwi Renewable Energy Pty Ltd (Juwi) and was awarded a significant contract with Sandfire Resources NL in July 2015 to install a 10.6MW solar power station at the Degrussa Copper-Gold mine in Western Australia. The $40 million project is the largest integrated off-grid solar and battery storage facility in Australia and was completed in June 2016. OTOC Australia’s contribution to the joint venture was approximately $10 million in revenue for the provision of procurement and on-site installation services with Juwi as the developer, engineering and procurement contractor and operator;

  • v) OTOC Australia has continued to receive opportunities in the Government Sector for construction and infrastructure work in Nauru. After an initial $29 million contract awarded in May 2013, OTOC Australia has won significant additional work with over $45 million worth of work being completed during FY2016.

5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

For the year ended 30 June 2016 the Group reported net profit after tax from continuing operations of $19.7 million (2015: $8.8 million loss) and EBIT profit from operating activities of $10.6 million (2015: EBIT loss $1.8 million). EBIT is defined as earnings before interest, tax, impairment, restructuring, share-based payments and acquisition costs and is an unaudited non-IFRS measure.

This has been achieved by targeting growth outside of the Western Australian mining sector, through the parallel strategies of acquisitions in Surveying and targeted focus on infrastructure construction activities.

The group has also focussed on integration activities through consultation and alignment with the Surveying businesses that have joined the OTOC team over the last two years to create a premium national professional services business in Surveying, Mapping and Town Planning. OTOC’s infrastructure business had a record year of earnings as a result of its strategic focus. This increased earnings has allowed the group to not only move forward the Surveying acquisition strategy but also to strengthen our integration support activities.

5 Financial Position, Performance and Cash flow

5.2.1 Dividends

No dividends were declared and paid by the Company during the financial period.

5.3 Business Strategy, Outlook and Risks

5.3.1 Business Strategy

The Group has a clear strategy of creating a multi-disciplinary premium national survey and spatial solutions business with diversified and predictable earnings. OTOC demonstrated the capacity for our strategy to deliver sound financial outcomes from our premium nationwide businesses through market sectors that have consistent demand for the services we deliver.

We shall continue to develop and deliver a range of business wide initiatives to ensure we are prepared and structured for further growth. The core pillars which support our growth strategy represent a focus on critical success factors of our business.

The company values have been enhanced to truly reflect the behavioural attributes and culture that we shall lead by and strive to encourage from our people as we move towards a truly national identity for the Group.

Finally, continuous improvements across our safety and sustainability processes shall ensure they remain key to our approach of delivering ongoing value for our clients and shareholders.

5.3.2 Outlook

We have continued to expand our capabilities and offerings across a broad range of services, markets and states. Expansion has been gained both organically and from the addition of new business partners via acquisition of Linker Surveying (NSW) and Lawrence Group (NSW). These new busineses add to our skills and market exposure in the promising Sydney and regional NSW markets where considerable expenditure on infrastructure and property development are forecast for the next several years and beyond.

FY16 saw the delivery of OTOC Australia’s first large scale PV solar array project in joint venture with Juwi at the Sandfire Resources DeGrussa Mine. This project is the largest diesel-solar hybrid project in the southern hemisphere and indicates the strength of OTOC Australia’s capacity to deliver a new project offering within our traditional market. We are excited by the numerous opportunities that this project has stimulated and will continue to focus on the renewable energy sector as a pillar of future growth for this business.

OTOC LIMITED 7

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

We shall continue to grow market share nationally across the survey and spatial solutions sector with ongoing acquisition of premier business partners and a focus on expanding the capacity and capability of our existing businesses.

In FY16 the management of OTOC committed to strengthening the internal systems and processes required to support and promote performance across our business.

We shall move towards standardisation of our national safety standards and ensure that our global Health, Safety and Environmental accreditations capture all businesses across the Company. Our Quality practices are now standard across the group.

Initiatives to improve our national marketing processes, procurement practices and expanding the reach of our business lines through nationalisation of service capabilities are all aimed at increasing our market share and achieving organic growth targets for our business.

5.3.3 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:

5.3.3.1 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.

5.3.3.2 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.

5.3.3.3 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.

5.3.3.4 Industry Risk

Continued weakness in the resources sector and reduced construction activity in the resources sector of Western Australia. OTOC is responding to this risk through its diversification of earnings via its national surveying acquisition strategy and implemented a number of strategic measures to re-position OTOC Australia to deliver projects that complement its expertise, reduce operational and market risk and result in improved financial performance.

5.3.3.5 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.

OTOC LIMITED 8

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

5.3.3.6 Integration Risk

In the last 2 years OTOC has purchased 5 companies as part of their strategy to create a national surveying platform. To fully derive benefits from this, OTOC are integrating the businesses so that synergies and economies of scale can continue to be achieved and to offer a better service to our growing national customer base. This will mitigate against companies operating in silos with increased costs and risks to the Group.

6 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto and sections of this report. Refer section 5.

7 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

Subsequent to 30 June 2016 the Group completed the acquisition of Lawrence Group, a multi-disciplinary surveying consultancy with expertise in residential and commercial construction, civil infrastructure and land development. The upfront purchase price for the Acquisition was $3.85million in cash and $1 million (4.9 million) in new fully paid ordinary shares.

The Group also entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of WKC Spatial on 05 August 2016 (assets acquired included business name, fixed assets, property, plant and equipment, and customer contracts).

OTOC Limited has declared after the balance sheet date that it will pay a fully franked dividend for 2016 of 0.5 cents per share on 12 September 2016.

Other than the matters discussed above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

8 LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

The OTOC Group continues on its national surveying strategy of developing a national surveying business and increasing its capabilities and geographical market presence.

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. During the period, the Board engaged EY (Ernst & Young) to provide independent advice in the form of a written report detailing market levels and benchmarking of remuneration for comparable executive roles. No recommendations, as defined by the Corporations Act, were provided by EY.

Executives have the opportunity to earn an annual short-term incentive (STI) if predefined targets are achieved (KPIs). The Group’s STIs are paid in the form of cash and are calculated as a percentage of total pay, based on achievement of set financial, safety and personal based KPI’s that provide a measured return to the organisation 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. Further, the behaviours of our employees against the Values of the Company are also assessed through a performance evaluation process.

STI plays a key role in aligning superior operation outcomes for shareholders with the remuneration outcomes for management. The STI opportunity levels vary according to the Business Unit served by the recipient and according to their role.

For the financial year ended 30 June 2016 the KMP’s had target STIs (of between $39,000 and $186,000 which represents between 30% and 40% of the KMP’s individual Total Fixed Remuneration) linked to EBITDA, safety and personal performance within their individual roles. Executives are set minimum safety outcomes and EBITDA targets for the group to achieve before an STI is payable.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for determining the STI to be paid based on an assessment of whether the KPIs are met. The performance evaluation in respect of the year ended 30 June 2016 has taken place and STI’s payable to the KMP’s have been accrued and presented in the table outlined in part (g) of this report. Approximately 92% of the target STIs were assessed as achieved and payable on a totals basis.

The Group bases its Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) 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 executives’ incentives with the total performance of the Group.

In 2014 the Group adopted a Performance Rights Plan (“Plan”) as an essential part of retaining senior executives in an increasingly competitive market. The Plan provides the long term incentive component of the remuneration for executives and KMP’s to be identified by the Board. The purpose of the Plan is to issue a performance based bonus in the form of Performance Rights based on KPI’s and performance hurdles to encourage alignment of personal and shareholder interest and:

  • Foster a long term perspective within the employees necessary to increase shareholder return;

  • Drive sustainable, long term performance of the Company;

  • Retain key senior executives;

  • Provide an opportunity for employees to participate in the Company’s share price performance; and

  • Ensure that the Company has a remuneration model that makes it an attractive employment option for talented personnel

LTI Performance measures and hurdles (including tenure provisions) are determined by the Board and linked to financial measures which may include (but not limited to):

  • Total Shareholder Return relative to an established peer group

  • Growth in earnings per share

  • Return of capital employed

  • EBIT/NPAT above budget and growth

  • Revenue growth and margin improvement

  • EPS Targets (normalised for extra-ordinary items)

During the period, the Group issued 19,644,950 Performance Rights under the Plan.

The value of the Performance Rights offered as long term incentives (“LTI”) represents between 68% and 120% of the KMP’s individual Total Fixed Remuneration. The mechanism for converting the LTI dollar value of the rights into the number of Performance Rights that were granted was based on the Company’s 30-day volume weighted average price per share prior to 31 August 2015.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

As the Company had been lacking a long term incentive plan until the introduction of the Plan in 2014, in the current and prior periods, the Board has adopted a transitional vesting approach for the grant of rights to long standing KMP’s (CEO, CFO and Company Secretary) as follows:

(a) 25% (Tranche 1) will vest in 2 years (based on performance from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2017); and (b) 75% (Tranche 2) will vest in 3 years (based on performance from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018).

Vesting of the Performance Rights is subject to the achievement of the two separate financial performance hurdles (over the relevant vesting periods) outlined in the table below. Subject to the achievement of the performance hurdles, each Key Executive Performance Right may be converted (on a one for one basis) into one Share.

Safety must be maintained at all times and no LTI’s will vest in the instance of a major safety breach such as a serious injury or fatality Performance of management measured against the total shareholder return relative to the ASX All Ordinaries Index. **The base EPS on which to measure performance will be based on a Normalised EPS excluding significant extra-ordinary expenses such as restructuring, acquisition and impairment costs, these costs will be excluded from the calculation of EPS for the purpose of assessment of EPSCAGR.

The board believes the relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”) performance hurdle alongside the use of Compounded Normalised Earnings per Share Growth (“EPS CAGR”) provides an appropriate balance between relative and absolute company performance. These performance measures are mutually exclusive, meaning, that if one measure is not met, there is still the ability to earn an LTI under the other measure. OTOC’s justification for the use of the ASX All Ordinaries Index as a comparator for rTSR as opposed to a selected comparator group is companies such as OTOC that are in a diversification and growth phase and small to mid-capitalised are unique in their operations and appropriate and relevant comparator groups are difficult to identify. It is the Board’s intention to review the suitability of both the rTSR and the EPS CAGR performance measures and the suitability of these performance criteria and settings on a regular basis to ensure they best serve shareholder’s interests.

Subject to the terms and conditions of a grant of a Performance Right, the Board has discretion determine that all or a portion of the unvested Performance Rights automatically vest and automatically exercise on the occurrence of a Change of Control.

  • (A) All Performance Rights granted under the Plan during the reporting period will not vest until the Vesting Conditions imposed by the Board are satisfied.

  • (B) Vesting is conditional on the Group achieving certain performance hurdles. Details of the performance criteria and vesting are included in the long-term incentives discussion on page 13 and 14 of this report.

  • (C) The fair value of the Performance Rights has been calculated at grant date and measured using Monte Carlo simulation model incorporating the probability of the relative TSR vesting condition being met. This amount is allocated to remuneration over the vesting period (i.e. in years 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018).

An unexercised Performance Right will lapse upon the earlier to occur of:

  • i. failure to satisfy the applicable vesting conditions;

  • ii. the holder purporting to transfer the Performance Right otherwise than with the consent of the Board or by force of law;

  • iii. the employment of the holder ceasing, where such a condition was imposed on the grant of the Performance Right;

  • iv. in the opinion of the Board, the holder commits any fraudulent or dishonest act or is in breach of his or her obligations to the Company or subsidiary;

  • v. the expiry date; or

  • vi. the seven year anniversary of the date of grant of the Performance Rights.

10 SHARES UNDER OPTION

As at 30 June 2016 there are no shares under option.

11 INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

During the financial year the Group paid insurance premiums of $24,000 (2015: $22,000) 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.

12 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 non-audit 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.

3. Acquisitions

During the period, the Company made one acquisition as part of its national surveying and strategic plan as detailed below:

Acquisition of business – Linker Surveying Pty Ltd

On 29 April 2016, the Group acquired the business of Linker Surveying Pty Ltd, a leading Sydney surveying firm. Consideration paid was $3.9 million cash, issue of $0.5 million ordinary shares and potential future performance consideration of up to $0.6 million, subject to the achievement of financial hurdles.

The acquisition of Linker Surveying provides the Group with an exposure to the Sydney residential market and consolidates

the Group’s national footprint consistent with the Group’s strategy to develop a national premium surveying and town planning business and enhances the Group’s earnings.

In the 2 months following the acquisition to 30 June 2016, Linker Surveying contributed revenue of $0.7 million and profit before tax of $0.2 million to the Group’s results. Management estimates that if the acquisition occurred on 1 July 2015, then Linker Surveying revenue would have been $4.5 million. In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the provisional fair value adjustments that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2015.

Consideration transferred

The following table summarises the acquisition-date fair value of each major class of consideration transferred.

Equity instruments issued

The fair value of the ordinary shares issued was based on the share price of the Company at 29 April 2016 of $0.21 per share.

Deferred vendor payment

As part of the purchase price the Company has agreed to pay the vendors of Linker Surveying an earn out of $0.6 million cash in two tranches over 2 years subject to meeting certain EBITDA hurdles of at least $0.8 million in a performance period. A full provision of $0.6 million has been recognised as deferred consideration at acquisition on the basis that management forecasts targets will be reached. If the targets are not reached, the fair value amount of the deferred consideration will be reduced in accordance with the asset sale agreement.

5. Subsequent events

Subsequent to 30 June 2016 the Group entered into an agreement to acquire Lawrence Group Pty Ltd, a Sydneybased surveying consultancy. For further information, refer Note 3. The Group also entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of WKC Spatial on 05 August 2016 (assets acquired included business name, fixed assets, property, plant and equipment, and customer contracts).

WKC provides surveying and geospatial services for pipeline infrastructure, construction and engineering, land and cadastral projects. WKC will be integrated with Whelans, OTOC’s Western Australian surveying business, creating enhanced scale and service capability. The acquisition of WKC is consistent with OTOC’s national surveying strategy. The purchase price is a cash payment of $1.9m.

OTOC Limited has declared after the balance sheet date that it will pay a fully franked dividend for 2016 of 0.5 cents per share on 12 September 2016.

Other than the matters discussed above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial years.

RISK MANAGEMENT

6. Critical accounting 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, contract work in progress and deferred vendor payments. 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.

Contract revenue and 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.

The key judgement in determining revenue from construction contracts is estimating the unapproved variations and claims to be included in project forecast revenue and work in progress. 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 which may impact the recoverability of work in progress.

OTOC LIMITED 36

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

6. Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Deferred vendor payments

As part of the purchase price of the three acquisitions during the year, the Group agreed to pay the vendors performance payments subject to the acquisitions reaching certain targeted earn out values based on EBIT and EBITDA measures. The value for deferred vendor payment is estimated based on actual results to date plus forecasts. Actual results may differ from these estimates. This information is set out under Note 3.

7. Financial instruments

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. The Board has established an Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing how manage monitors risk and reviewing the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.

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.

reach their targeted earn out values
and therefore have recognised the
maximum amount payable under the
contract for contingent consideration,
with the exception of Geo-metric.
Given that payments are due within
two years of acquisition the amount
recognised approximates to fair
value.
For Bosco Jonson
Forecast EBITDA target
$4.25m per earn-out
period, for Geo-metric
forecast EBIT target
$4m per earn-out
period, for THG forecast
EBIT target of $1.2m
per earn-out period and
for Linker forecast
EBITDA target of
$0.8m per earn-out
period.

The estimated fair value of the
deferred vendor payments would
decrease if EBITDA for Bosco
Jonson and Linker, and EBIT for
Geo-metric and THG were lower.
Generally, a change in the annual
revenue is accompanied by a
directionally similar change in
EBITDA margin for Bosco Jonson
and Linker, and EBIT margin for
Geo-metric and THG.

Sensitivity analysis

For the fair values of deferred vendor payments, reasonably possible changes at 30 June 2016 to one of the significant unobservable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects.

*In this range the deferred vendor payment will be earned on a dollar for dollar basis up to a maximum of $0.75 million for Bosco Jonson, $0.1 million for Queensland Surveying and $0.2 million for Linker. If the minimum targets are not met, then no vendor payment is made.

**The first earn out payments for Bosco and THG were paid during the year for $1.5 million and $0.9 million respectively.

***The earn out targets for Geo-metric were not achieved and hence no payments have been made.

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.

As detailed in Note 1, revenue from one major customer of the Group (Canstruct Pty Ltd), individually represents more than 10% of total Group revenue, and was approximately $49 million during the year ended 30 June 2016 (2015: two major customers $24 million). The Company is implementing its diversification strategy to mitigate this risk, through its acquisition surveying businesses.

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

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 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 $14,353,000 (2015: $15,106,000) for Australia. The allowance for impairment for 2016 amounted to ($152,000) (2015: $64,000).

Based on historic default rates, the Group believes that 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:

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.

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

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, and loans and borrowings are exposed to interest rate risks. The average nominal interest rate is 5.85% for loans and borrowings (2015: 4.24%), for all current facilities in note 19, and sensitivity is calculated for a 1% change.

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 or 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. Capital comprises share capital and retained earnings.

Currency risk

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

The carrying value of finance leased assets at 30 June 2016 is $3.4 million (2015: $4.1 million).

Impairment Loss

The Group assesses whether there are indicators that assets, or groups of assets, may be impaired at each reporting date (goodwill is assessed annually regardless of indicators, refer Note 14). No impairment indicators were identified during the year ended 30 June 2016.

Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is made. OTOC has made an assessment of the recoverable amount of its assets as at 30 June 2016. No impairment loss was recognised in the year ended 30 June 2016 (2015: impairment losses recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30 June 2015 were $7.9 million Property, Plant and Equipment and $0.5 million Goodwill).

Goodwill has arisen on businesses purchased during the course of the year and an impairment review will be carried out on their twelve month anniversary. At present there are no indicators to suggest an impairment is necessary.

Impairment Review

The Group tests annually whether the above intangible assets are impaired, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 29 d(i). An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of goodwill and other intangible assets, including those with indefinite useful lives are determined based on value in use of the company’s CGU’s which management have assessed to be its business operations. The business operations with a significant carrying value are Geo-metric, Bosco Jonson, Queensland Surveying and Linker Surveying and each represent a CGU. The discounted cash flow method (value in use) estimates the value of the CGU as being equal to the present value of the future cash flows which are expected to be derived from the CGU.

The recoverable amount of goodwill is tested at the CGU level. Value in use calculations are performed to assess the recoverable amount of the CGU. Value in use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

Recoverable amount testing – Key assumptions

In determining value in use, it is necessary to make a series of assumptions to estimate future cash flows. The key assumptions requiring judgement include projected cash flows, growth rate estimates, discount rates, working capital and capital expenditure. The key assumptions utilised in the “value in use” calculations across all CGUs are budgeted EBITDA, long term growth rate (1.3%) and discount rate (8.2%) due to the similar nature of the businesses.

(i) Projected cash flows

The Group determines the recoverable amount based on a “value in use” calculation, using five years cash flow projections based on the budget for the year ending 30 June 2017 and the management forecast for the subsequent financial years ending 30 June 2021.

Budgeted EBITDA has been based on past experience and the Group’s assessment of economic and regulatory factors affecting the industry within which the Group operates.

(ii) Long term growth rate

The future annual growth rates for FY 2022 onwards to perpetuity are based on the weighted average cost of capital less historic growth rate (1.3%).

OTOC LIMITED 47

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

14. Intangible assets (continued)

(ii) Discount rate

Post tax discount rates of 8.2% reflect the Group’s estimate of the time value of money and risks specific to each CGU.

Sensitivities

The directors and management have performed an assessment of reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions and have not identified any instances which could cause the carrying amount of the Group’s sole CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

Following impairment testing for the current reporting period, no impairment of intangible assets has been recognised as the recoverable amount of the Group’s CGU which all of its assets are assigned exceeds the carrying amount of the CGU.

The Company has provided construction and installation services external to Australia through a permanent establishment in another country. The earnings from this permanent establishment are subject to the taxation regime within that country and are considered exempt from Australian income tax. This income has been previously included in the Company’s assessable income for Australian Taxation. The Company has lodged amended income tax returns for the relevant years, which has resulted in an income tax credit of $7.0 million being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and a deferred tax asset of $7.0 million being reflected in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2016. Whilst these amended returns remain subject to normal Australian Taxation compliance, the Directors are satisfied with this position based on specialist advice.

The current year impact of this tax treatment is a $4.2 million income tax credit being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income and a deferred tax asset of $4.2 million being reflected in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2016.

The Research and Development claim for the financial year 2015 of $0.5 million is booked as part of the adjustment for prior periods.

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends.

The above available amounts are based on the balance of the dividend franking account at year-end adjusted for:

  • franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liabilities;

  • franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year-end;

  • franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables by the tax consolidated group at the year-end; and

  • franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years.

(a) Presentation Currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instruments 2016/191 dated 1 April 2016. All financial information presented in Australian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand 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

29: Summary of 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) Basis of consolidation

(i) Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

OTOC LIMITED 59

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

29: Summary of Significant accounting policies (continued)

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

If share-based payment awards (replacement awards) are required to be exchanged for awards held by the acquiree’s employees (acquiree’s awards), then all or a portion of the amount of the acquirer’s replacement awards is included in measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination. This determination is based on the market-based measure of the replacement awards compared with the market-based measure of the acquiree’s awards and the extent to which the replacement awards relate to pre-combination service.

(ii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

(iii) 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.

(b) 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.

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.

OTOC LIMITED 60

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

29: Summary of Significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Financial instruments

(i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)

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.

(i) 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, 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.

(ii) 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.

(c) 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.

OTOC LIMITED 61

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

29: Summary of Significant accounting policies (continued)

(c) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(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  Motor vehicles  Leasehold Improvements

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

(d) Intangible assets and goodwill

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is not amortised. Instead goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to individual cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

(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 3-5 years

(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 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.

29: Summary of Significant accounting policies (continued)

(e) Impairment (continued)

(ii) Non-financial assets (continued)

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 re-measurement 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.

(f) 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. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value.

(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.

(g) 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.

(h) 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

29: Summary of Significant accounting policies (continued)

(i) 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.

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

(l) 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.

OTOC LIMITED 65

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

29: Summary of Significant accounting policies (continued)

(l) Income tax (continued)

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.

(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.

(iii) 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.

(m) 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.

(n) Segment reporting

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

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.

(o) Prior year comparatives

Certain comparative information has been re-presented so it is in conformity with the current year classification.

(p) Changes in accounting policies

OTOC has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to the operations of OTOC and effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. The Group applied for the first time Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality, this has no impact on the financial report.

30. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations which are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2015, 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.

The Group is assessing the potential impact of the application of AASB 16 on its financial statements, including the potential impact of the various transition provisions available to the group. AASB 16 removes the lease classification test for lessees and requires all leases (including those classified as operating leases) to be brought onto the balance sheet. There is new guidance on when an arrangement would meet the definition of a lease. AASB 16 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

The Group is assessing the potential impact of the application of AASB 15 on its financial statements. AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much, and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction contracts, and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. AASB 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted.

31. 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 methods set out below. 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.

(iv) Share-based payment transactions

The fair value of employee stock options is measured using a binomial option pricing model. The fair value of share performance rights is measured using the 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.
