Review of operations and financial results

Commentary on Full Year Results
Following successful IPO in December 2013, the Directors of Sino Australia Oil and Gas Limited (“Sino” or “the
Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”) hereby present the Company’s first Annual Report.
Through this report, the Board seeks to provide an update to its Shareholders and the market on the results
achieved for the 2013 financial year (ended 31 December 2013). It should be noted that the Group’s
financial year runs from January to December each year.
The Group realised an after tax profit of $8.4 million (before exchanges differences) for the 2013 financial
year which represents an increase of 5% on the previous year. As a result of the strengthening of the Chinese
Renminbi, the Company showed a foreign exchange gain on translation of foreign operation of $4.3 million.
On the other hand, financial strain in the domestic oil field services industry has been very common since the
middle of year 2013 when the state governments reinforce their efforts to fight corruption in large state
owned enterprises (SOE) such as PetroChina, resulting in a longer time frame for the collection of payments
from state owned oil companies.
The Group completed its IPO in December 2013, lagging behind the projected completion for half a year.
Hence, the planned capital expenditure for the purchase of additional drilling rigs was delayed resulting in
delivery only in 2014. In order to fulfil its contracted sales order, further equipment lease expense of
$2,620,890 was necessary in the second half 2013.
At the same time, the Group continues to expand and capturing additional market share, and as a result
exceeding its forecasted revenues in the Prospectus by 17%. The increase in revenues are mainly derived
from new markets developed in Xinjiang and Changqin Oilfields however due to its nature of competition, are
less profitable and hence the average revenue per contracted well drilled is comparatively lower than forecast
by 11%. This coupled with increased leasing costs resulted in lower gross margins, hence a negative $5
million variance in comparison with the forecast.
Following our successful IPO, the proceeds from capital raising will significantly improve Sino’s financial
strength and ultimately improve our competitiveness. The Board and management have confidence that our
customer satisfaction levels shall remain high for both drilling and well maintenance services. While our
strong competitive position in Daqing and Jin oilfields shall be strengthened, expansion in North-west China
region shall be accelerated.
The Board of Directors and management believe that opportunities and challenges coexist in China’s oil field
services industry in 2014. After the third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of Communist Party
of China, state owned resource monopoly enterprises such as PetroChina and Sinopec are required to open
their services sectors to unaffiliated enterprises for competition. Independent service providers with unique
technology and know-how may seize the opportunity to substantially increase their market shares to new
level.
Sino’s unique technologies and continuing market expansion has provided consistent profits and reduced
earnings volatility. With a strong balance sheet and experienced management team, the Board is looking
forward to another successful year.

Corporate Results Summary

On behalf of the Board we are pleased to inform shareholders that Sino Australia Oil and Gas Ltd (Sino)
generated operating revenues of $33,700,425 for the year ended 31 December 2013. This is an increase of
44% from prior year (2012: $23,333,984). Sino’s net profit after tax attributable to members for the 12
months ended 31 December 2013 was $8,395,837, which is an increase of 5% from 2012.
Sino completed its IPO in December 2013, lagging half year behind than projected. With its aggressive market
expansion strategy in the northwest region such as Xinjiang and Changqin oilfields, more trial wells had been
drilled , and more equipment and tools had to be leased, resulting in a significant increase in cost and
ultimately a decline in margin.

Operating Segments Review

Sino’s market expansion strategy was a big success. The number of wells drilled increased by 50.8% to 377
(2012: 250), and the number of wells maintained increased by 76% to 440 (2012: 250). The actual results
are much better than the forecast in the IPO prospectus, as follows:

With all other variables remaining constant and the lease expense of the two additional rigs are the same as
that hired from Beijing Ou Sheng Wen and Hua Fu in 2013, the additional lease expense resulting from the
delay of the purchase and delivery of the planned additional drilling rigs is $2,620,890.

Financial Position
In December 2013, Sino issued 25,658,628 fully paid ordinary shares issued at $0.50 per share and raised
$12,829,319, resulting in a significant improvement on its financial position.
Following the successful capital raising and strong profits for the financial year, the Group is well placed to
fund future expansions.
The Group generated strong cash flows totalling$6,396,220 from operating activities in 2013 (2012:
4,337,859) and this is expected to continue through the 2014 financial year.
Total capital expenditure for the year totalled$12,192,268(with $10,290,907 held as prepayment for
purchase of equipment), with expenditure heavily weighted towards equipment purchases to take advantage
of the growing opportunities in the oil field services industry.
The Group financial position at 31 December 2013 is strong with net assets of $38,932,990 (2012:
$13,824,675). The operating businesses are well placed to take advantage of the continuing strong demand
in the oil field services industry.
Significant changes in the state of affairs

There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the parent entity during the financial year or
prior year.
Dividends
No dividend has been declared for the financial year.
Events arising since the end of the reporting period

On 14 March 2014, the Company and three of its Directors (Mr Tianpeng Shao, MrRuiyu He and Ms Heyan
Wang) were served with a copy of Orders made by the Federal Court of Australia following an application
made by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) relating to alleged breaches of the
Corporations Act. Ms Heyan Wang has resigned subsequently in March 2014.
ASIC is conducting an investigation into whether there were any material omissions in the disclosures in the
capital raising Prospectus Documents or other contraventions of the Corporations Act. ASIC has commenced
a proceeding in the Federal Court seeking orders restraining the Company from transferring funds out of its
bank accounts in Australia. There is currently an injunction restraining the Company transferring funds. The
related investigation is ongoing.
The Board through its legal counsel is in dialogue with ASIC regarding the orders obtained by ASIC with a view
to having these lifted to enable the Company to support its operating subsidiary in accordance with its
commitments.
As a direct consequence of the ASIC actions to freeze the Company’s bank accounts in Australia, the Company
has not been able to utilise the majority of the funds raised in the IPO to purchase the specialised equipment
outlined in the Prospectus.
This has and will result in a monthly loss of profit of AUD 330,000. Included in this is the cost of fully trained
engineers and technicians who have been employed and trained to operate the equipment but currently
remain idle, additional costs have also been incurred to lease/hire additional specialised equipment to perform
some of the duties in satisfying the high growth in new sales contract received by the SAO subsidiary.
12
ABN 85 159 714 397
The operating costs of this leased/hire equipment is much higher than would have resulted by utilising the
equipment planned to be purchased from the IPO funds.
Mr Ruiyu He, Mr Wrixon Gasteen, Mr David Cornwell, and Mr Guangbin Zhong have been appointed as
independent non-executive directors in March 2014, with Mr Wayne Johnson and Mr Andrew Faulkner
removed as directors in March 2014.
There are no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the year that have significantly
affected or may significantly affect either:
• The entity’s operations in future financial years;

• The results of those operations in future financial years; or
• The entity’s state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely developments, business strategies and prospects

Going forward, we believe the development of new markets and advanced technologies are equally important.
Based on the Company’s leading EOR technology, we plan to further develop practical technologies for
application in the oil field service industry and actively expand the market for oil field based services.
In partnership with South West China Petroleum Department, Sinopec Engineering Technology Research
Institute, Sinopec International Exploration Development Company and Sinopec International Petroleum
Engineering Services Company, we can establish new relationships and expand our services to the overseas
market.
We look for ways of reducing the Group’s costing of drilling and maintenance services. One of the main
strategies would be to reduce the costs of leasing equipment by increasing capital investments, in which
would have a positive impact on margins.
We also aim to further increase the Company size and profitability through mergers and acquisitions within
the industry and increasing efficiencies in key processes. At the same time, we will also develop new avenues
of financing to meet further development requirements.
The material business risks faced by the Group that are likely to have an effect on the financial prospects of
the Group include:
• The development of new technologies and range of services might result in a short term negative
impact on costs and margins due to initial development costs; and
• The costs of maintenance of equipment purchased might have an impact on profitability. However, we
expect the reduction in cost of leasing equipment will far outweigh the costs of maintenance.

Remuneration Report (audited)

The Directors of Sino Australia Oil and Gas Limited (‘Sino’ or ‘the Company’) and controlled entities (together
‘the Group’) present the Remuneration Report for non-executive directors, executive directors and other key
management personnel prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Corporations
Regulations 2001.
The Remuneration Report is set out under the following main headings:
a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

b) Details of remuneration
c) Service agreements
d) Share-based remuneration
(a) Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

The principles of the Group’s executive strategy and supporting incentive programs and frameworks are:
• To align rewards to business outcomes that deliver value to shareholders;
• To drive a high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high performing
individuals; and
• To ensure remuneration is competitive in the relevant employment market place to support the
attraction, motivation and retention of executive talent.
Sino has structured a remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward
strategy of the Group.
The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which operates in accordance with its
charter as approved by the Board and is responsible for determining and reviewing compensation
arrangements for the directors and the executive team.
The remuneration structure that has been adopted by the Group consists of the following components:
• Fixed remuneration being annual salary; and
• Short term incentives, being employee share schemes and bonuses.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assess the appropriateness of the nature and amount of
remuneration on a periodic basis by reference to recent employment market conditions with the overall
objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and executive
team.
The payment of bonuses, share options and other incentive payments are reviewed by the Nomination and
Remuneration Committee annually as part of the review of executive remuneration and a recommendation is
put to the Board for approval. All bonuses, options and incentives must be linked to pre-determined
performance criteria.
Use of remuneration consultants

No remuneration consultant has been engaged by the Company during the period.
15
ABN 85 159 714 397
Short term incentive (STI)

Sino performance measures involve the use of annual performance objectives, metrics, performance
appraisals and continuing emphasis on living the company values.
The performance measures are set annually after consultation with the directors and executives and are
specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control. The measures target areas the
Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit and cover financial and non-financial
measures.
The Board may, at its discretion, award bonuses for exceptional performance in relation to each person’s
pre-agreed KPIs.

Environmental legislation
The Group’s operations are not subject to any particular or significant environmental regulation under a law of
the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory in Australia or in China.
Indemnities given and insurance premiums paid to auditors and officers

During the year, Sino paid a premium to insure officers of the Group. The officers of the Group covered by the
insurance policy include all directors.
The liabilities insured are legal costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be
brought against the officers in their capacity as officers of the Group, 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 a willful 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.
Details of the amount of the premium paid in respect of the insurance policies is not disclosed as such disclosure
is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
The Group has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law,
indemnified or agreed to indemnify any current or former officer or auditor of the Group against a liability
incurred as such by an officer or auditor.
Non-audit services
During the year, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd, the Company’s auditors, performed certain other services in
addition to their statutory audit duties.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with
written advice provided by resolution of the Audit and Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those
non-audit services during the year 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 Company
and have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact upon the
impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and
• The non-audit services do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set
out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing
the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as
an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit
and non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 21 to the Financial Statements.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under s307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is
included on page 23 of this financial report and forms part of this Directors report.
Proceedings of behalf of the Company

No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings
on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the purpose
of taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings.

With regards to director independence, the Board has adopted specific principles which state that an independent
director must not be a member of management and must comply with the following criteria:

member of the Group.

in conducting its business and is committed to increasing shareholder value in conjunction with fulfilling its
responsibilities as a good corporate citizen. All Directors, managers and employees are expected to act with the
utmost integrity, honesty and objectivity, striving at all times to enhance the reputation and performance of the
Group.
The Group has established a Code of Conduct and a Directors and Officers Code of Conduct, copies of which are

employment.

reported on a timely basis to management. Reporting parties are able to do so without fear of reprisal or
retribution as their identity and report are kept in the strictest confidence. External third party reporting

confidential at all times.

at any time when they are in possession of unpublished, price sensitive information in relation to those securities.

Secretary to do so, and a director must obtain the permission of the Chairman. The trading windows are four
weeks after the release of the half year results, full year results and the holding of the Annual General Meeting.

- 30 -
ABN 85 159 714 397
Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure
Sino has established policies and procedures to ensure timely and balanced disclosure of all material matters
concerning the Group, and ensure that all investors have access to information on the Group’s financial
performance. This ensures that the Group is compliant with the information disclosure requirements under the
ASX Listing Rules.
These policies and procedures include a comprehensive Disclosure Policy that includes identification of matters
that may have a material impact on the price of Sino’s securities, notifying them to the ASX, posting relevant
information on the Group’s website and issuing media releases. These policies are available on Sino’s website
under http://www.sinoaustoil.com/irm/content/corporate-governance.aspx?RID=259.
Matters involving potential market sensitive information must first be reported to the Managing Director either
directly or via the Company Secretary. The Managing Director will advise the other Directors if the issue is
important enough to warrant the consideration of the full Board. In all cases the appropriate action must be
determined and carried out in a timely manner in order for the Group to comply with the Information Disclosure
requirements of the ASX.
Once the appropriate course of action has been agreed upon, either the Managing Director or
Company Secretary will disclose the information to the relevant authorities, being the only authorised officers of
the Group who are able to disclose such information. Board approval is required for market sensitive
information such as financial results, material transactions or upgrading/downgrading financial forecasts. This

Principle 6: Respect the rights of shareholders
Sino has established a Shareholder Communication Policy which describes the Group’s approach to promoting
effective communication with shareholders which includes:
• The annual report, including relevant information about the operations of the Group during the year, key

circumstances.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013
NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Sino Australia Oil and
Gas Limited and controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’). Sino Australia Oil and Gas Limited
listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”) on 12 December 2013 and is a company incorporated
and domiciled in Australia.
The Group is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.
Basis of preparation of the financial report
The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.
Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in
a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions
to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial
statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Material
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have
been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified,
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and
financial liabilities.
There are new accounting standards and AASB interpretations that have been published that are not
mandatory for current reporting periods. The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards
and interpretations is that there would be no material impact on the historical financial information.
(a) Principles of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and all of its subsidiaries as of
31 December 2013. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the subsidiary. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 December.
All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including
unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on
intra-group asset sales are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment
from a group perspective. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss
and net assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of
subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective
ownership interests.
Business Combination
Business combination involving entities under common control is scoped out under AASB 3: Business
Combination. AASB provides no guidance on the accounting for these types of transactions; however
requires an entity to develop an accounting policy. The two most common methods utilised are the
acquisition method and the pooling of interest-type method (predecessor values method). A business
combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the
combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party, both before and after the business
combination, and control is not transitory.
Management has determined the pooling of interest-type method to be most appropriate. The pooling of
40
ABN 85 159 714 397
interest-type method requires the financial statements to be prepared using the predecessor book values
without any step up to fair value. The difference between any consideration given and the aggregate
book value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded as an adjustment to equity. This
may be recorded in retained earnings/reserve and no additional goodwill is created by the transaction.
The comparatives have been presented as if the transaction took place at the beginning of the earliest
comparativeperiod.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidation financial statements (post combination) can be presented using one of two methods.
The first method, being the consolidated financial statements can incorporate the acquired entity’s
results as if both entities (acquirer and acquiree) had always been combined. Alternatively the
consolidated financial statements can incorporate the acquired entity’s results only from the date on
which the transaction occurred.
Management have determined to use option one – reporting comparatives as though the group had
always been combined.
(b) Income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and
deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated
using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax
liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the
relevant taxation authority.
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances
during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the
profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax
assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No
deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to
recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the
deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is
intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and
liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of
set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in
future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be
recovered or settled.
41
ABN 85 159 714 397
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess
of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the
expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The
expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable
amounts.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated group includes the cost of materials, direct
labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the
financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding
freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated group
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over
the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
Class of fixed asset Depreciation rates Depreciation basis
Drilling equipment 10% Straight line
Motor vehicles 10% Straight line
Office equipment 20% Straight line
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance
sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These
gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive
Income. When re-valued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that
asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(d) Financial instruments
Recognition and Initial Measurement
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the
entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Trade date accounting is adopted
for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is
not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as
at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are
classified and measured as set out below.
De-recognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the
asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing
42
ABN 85 159 714 397
involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised
where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the
carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of
consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit
or loss.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
i. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the
purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or
designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group
of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a
documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising
from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
ii. Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest rate method.
iii. Financial Liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are
applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions,
reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.
Impairment
At each reporting date, the group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial
instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline
in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment
losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
(e) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and
value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its
recoverable amount is expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive Income.
Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the group estimates
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
(f) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of each of the group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity’s functional and presentation currency.
Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing
at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange
rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the
date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at
43
ABN 85 159 714 397
the date when fair values were determined.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, except where deferred in equity as a
qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.
Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity
to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity; otherwise the exchange difference is
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
Group companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the
group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:
— assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
— income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
— retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the group’s
foreign currency translation reserve in the balance sheet. These differences are recognised in the
Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which the
operation is disposed.
(g) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by
employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within one year
have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits
payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash
outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cash flows are discounted using market yields on national
government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.
(h) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past
events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be
reliably measured.
(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
(j) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer
of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those
goods.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial
assets, is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive
a dividend has been established.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) or value added tax (VAT).
(k) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the
cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.
(l) Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Value Added Tax (VAT)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and VAT, except where the
amount of GST or VAT incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST
and VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.
44
ABN 85 159 714 397
Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST and VAT.
Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST and VAT
component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
(m) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the
financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid according to term.
(n) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company,
excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued
during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjust the figures used to determine basic earnings per share to take into
account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential
ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no
consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
(o) Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes
in presentation for the current financial year.
(p) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows:
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
AASB 10 supersedes AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (AASB 127) and AASB
Interpretation 112 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 revises the definition of control and
provides extensive new guidance on its application. These new requirements have the potential to affect
which of the Group’s investees are considered to be subsidiaries and therefore to change the scope of
consolidation. The requirements on consolidation procedures, accounting for changes in non-controlling
interests and accounting for loss of control of a subsidiary are unchanged.
Management has reviewed its control assessments in accordance with AASB 10 and has concluded that
there is no effect on the classification (as subsidiaries or otherwise) of any of the Group’s investees held
during the period or comparative periods covered by these financial statements.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement
AASB 13 clarifies the definition of fair value and provides related guidance and enhanced disclosures
about fair value measurements. It does not affect which items are required to be fair-valued. The scope
of AASB 13 is broad and it applies for both financial and non-financial items for which other Australian
Accounting Standards require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value
measurements except in certain circumstances.
AASB 13 applies prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Its disclosure
requirements need not be applied to comparative information in the first year of application.
The annual report was authorised for issue on 7 April 2014 by the board of directors.
45
ABN 85 159 714 397
NOTE 2: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on
historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation
of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within
the Group. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that
period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.
Key estimates – Stage of completion
Stage of completion for contracts is determined by the Group based on when services are performed and
milestones are achieved based on summary reports issued by customers. Revenue is reliably
measurable and flow of economic benefits to the Group is probable when the summary reports are
received.
Key estimates — Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions and events specific to
the Company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are
reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.
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 risk
specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

The carrying value of trade receivables is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value due to the
short-term nature of the balances.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable in the
financial statements. The company does not hold any collateral as security over any receivable balance, nor
does it hold any restrictions of title.
Some of the unimpaired trade receivables are past due, $17,686,187 (2012: $9,134,398)as at the
reporting date.
The age of trade receivables is as follows:

Capital management
When managing capital, management's objective is to ensure the group continues as a going concern as well
as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. This is achieved through
the monitoring of historical and forecast performance and cash flows. The company’s debt and capital
includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets. There are no externally
imposed capital requirements.
Management effectively manages the company’s capital by assessing the company’s financial risks and
adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses
include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.
Management monitors capital through the gearing ratio (net debt / total capital). The gearing ratios for the
years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 are:

The contract signed on 1 August 2013 was for one unit of the equipment. Huaying had paid a deposit of

outstanding amount (40% of the payment of each set of equipment) and delivery of the three sets of
equipment to May, July and 30 August 2014 respectively.

NOTE 22: POST-REPORTING DATE EVENTS
On 14 March 2014, the Company and three of its Directors (Mr Tianpeng Shao, Mr Ruiyu He and Ms Heyan
Wang) were served with a copy of Orders made by the Federal Court of Australia following an application
made by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) relating to alleged breaches of the
Corporations Act. Ms Heyan Wang has resigned subsequently in March 2014.
ASIC is conducting an investigation into whether there were any material omissions in the disclosures in the
capital raising Prospectus Documents or other contraventions of the Corporations Act. ASIC has commenced
a proceeding in the Federal Court seeking orders restraining the Company from transferring funds out of its
bank accounts in Australia. There is currently an injunction restraining the Company transferring funds.
The related investigation is ongoing.
The Board through its legal counsel is in dialogue with ASIC regarding the orders obtained by ASIC with a
view to having these lifted to enable the Company to support its operating subsidiary in accordance with its
commitments.
As a direct consequence of the ASIC actions to freeze the Company’s bank accounts in Australia, the
Company has not been able to utilise the majority of the funds raised in the IPO to purchase the specialised
equipment outlined in the Prospectus.
This has and will result in a monthly loss of profit of AUD 330,000. Included in this is the cost of fully trained
engineers and technicians who have been employed and trained to operate the equipment but currently
remain idle, additional costs have also been incurred to lease/hire specialised equipment to perform some of
the duties in satisfying the high growth in new sales contract received by the SAO subsidiary.
The operating costs of this leased/hire equipment are much higher than would have resulted by utilising the
equipment planned to be purchased from the IPO funds.
Mr Ruiyu He, Mr Wrixon Gasteen, Mr David Cornwell, and Mr Guangbin Zhong have been appointed as
independent non-executive directors in March 2014, with Mr Wayne Johnson and Mr Andrew Faulkner
removed as directors in March 2014.
No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the year which significantly affected, or may
significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or state of
affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.

NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS
i. Risk management objectives and policies
The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and
liabilities consist of:
• Cash and cash equivalents
• Trade and other receivables
• Security deposits to suppliers
• Trade and other payables
• Short term borrowings
• Notes payable
The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group’s risk management is coordinated at its headquarters, in close cooperation with the board of
directors, and focuses on actively securing the Group's short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the
exposure to financial markets.
The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write
options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.
62
ABN 85 159 714 397
NOTE 24: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS (CONTINUED)
ii. Market risk analysis
The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, interest rate risk,
liquidity risk and customer concentration risk. The Group does not have any significant exposure to price risk
and foreign currency risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Group does not have significant balances denominated in currency other than the functional currency of
the respective companies within the Group.
Credit risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis and reviewed regularly by the finance committee. It arises from
exposures to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions.
The finance committee monitors credit risk on a regular basis.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at reporting date
to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as
disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition and requires no
collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful debts is based upon a review of the expected
collectability of all trade and other receivables.
There are no other material amounts of collateral held as security at 31 December 2013.
Price risk
The Group’s financial instruments are not exposed to price risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its
liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for financial liabilities as well as forecast
cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business.
Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is low as it relates principally to its short term deposits placed with
financial institutions. The Group does not currently have any interest bearing financial liabilities.
Customer concentration risk
The Group’s exposure to customer concentration risk relates to its dependence on major customers. The
Group’s top 5 customers in 2013 generated more than 90% of the Group’s revenues during the financial
period.

iv. Interest rate sensitivity analysis
The Group has performed sensitivity analysis relating to its financial instrument’s exposure to interest rate at
reporting date. The Group’s financial instruments do not have significant exposure to price risk and foreign
exchange risk.
Interest rate sensitivity
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risks relates principally to short term deposits placed with financial
institutions in which the impact of +/- 5% in interest rates will not have a significant impact on the Company’s
profit and equity.
v. Credit risk analysis
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised
at the reporting date, as summarised below:

Total 30,264,854 16,127,707
The Group’s management considers that all of the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for
each of the 31 December reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

NOTE 25: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are
grouped into three Levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three Levels are defined based on the observability
of significant inputs to the measurement, as follows:
 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly
 Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities are determined by its short-term book value
which is also its fair value.

NOTE 28: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS
The accounting standards that have not been early adopted for the year ended 31 December 2013, but will
be applicable to the group in future reporting periods, are detailed below. Apart from these standards, other
accounting standards that will be applicable in future periods have been reviewed, however they have been
considered to be insignificant to the group.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, certain new standards, amendments and
interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective, and have not been
adopted early by the Group.
Management anticipates that all of the relevant pronouncements will be adopted in the Group's accounting
policies for the first period beginning after the effective date of the pronouncement. Information on new
standards, amendments and interpretations that are expected to be relevant to the Group’s financial
statements is provided below. Certain other new standards and interpretations have been issued but are not
expected to have a material impact on the group's financial statements.
(i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.
These requirements improve and simplify the approach for classification and measurement of financial assets
compared with the requirements of AASB 139. The main changes are:
- Financial assets that are debt instruments will be classified based on (1) the objective of the entity’s
business model for managing the financial assets; and (2) the characteristics of the contractual cash
flows.
- Allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on investments in equity
instruments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income (instead of in profit or loss).
Dividends in respect of these investments that are a return on investment can be recognised in profit or
loss and there is no impairment or recycling on disposal of the instrument.
- Financial assets can be designated and measured at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition
if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would
arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognising the gains and losses on them, on different bases.
- Where the fair value option is used for financial liabilities the change in fair value is to be accounted for
as follows;
 The change attributable to changes in credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income
(OCI) and;
 The remaining change is presented in profit or loss.
If this approach creates or enlarges an accounting mismatch in the profit or loss, the effect of the changes in
credit risk are also presented in profit or loss.
Otherwise, the following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 into
AASB 9:
 Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and
 Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.
Consequential amendments arising from AASB 9 are contained in AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010), AASB 2010-10 Further Amendments to
Australian Accounting Standards – Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters and AASB 2012-6
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition
Disclosures.
69
ABN 85 159 714 397
NOTE 28: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN FUTURE PERIODS (CONTINUED)
In December 2013, the AASB published AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –
Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments which, among other things:
 Added a new chapter on hedge accounting into AASB 9, substantially overhauling previous
accounting requirements in this area;
 Allowed the changes to address the so-called “own credit” issue that were already included in
AASB 9 to be applied in isolation without the need to change any other accounting for financial
instruments; and
 Deferred the mandatory effective date of AASB 9 from “1 January 2015” to “1 January 2017”.
There will be no impact on the Group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect
the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Group
does not have any such liabilities. The de-recognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Group has not yet decided
when to adopt AASB 9.
(ii) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle is a collection of amendments to IFRSs in response to eight
issues addressed during the 2010–2012 cycle for annual improvements to IFRSs
Among other improvements, the amendments clarify that the definition of a ‘related party’ includes a
management entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity (either directly
or through a group entity), and amend IFRS 8 Operating Segments to explicitly require the disclosure of
judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria.
When these amendments are first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2015, there will be no material
impact on the entity.
(iii) AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards. AASB 2010-2
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements
AASB 1053 establishes a differential financial reporting framework consisting of two Tiers of reporting
requirements for preparing general purpose financial statements:
a) Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and
b) Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements.
Tier 2 comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1 and substantially
reduced disclosures corresponding to those requirements. The following entities apply Tier 1 requirements in
preparing general purpose financial statements:
a) for-profit entities in the private sector that have public accountability; and
b) the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local Governments.
70
ABN 85 159 714 397
The following entities apply either Tier 2 or Tier 1 requirements in preparing general purpose financial
statements:
a) for-profit private sector entities that do not have public accountability;
b) all not-for-profit private sector entities; and
c) public sector entities other than the Australian Government and State, Territory and Local
Governments.
Consequential amendments to other standards to implement reduced disclosure requirements were

introduced by AASB 2010-2
When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 31 December 2014, they are unlikely to have
any significant impact on the Group.
(iv) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key
Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements
The Standard amends AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures to remove the individual key management
personnel (KMP) disclosures required by Australian specific paragraphs. This amendment reflects the AASB’s
view that these disclosures are more in the nature of governance disclosures that are better dealt within the
legislation, rather than by the accounting standards.
On 28 June 2013, the Australian government passed Corporations and Related Legislation Amendment
Regulation 2013 (No.1) which inserts these disclosures, with minor changes, into Corporations Regulations
2001. For financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2013, these disclosures are required to be included
in remuneration reports of listed companies.
When these amendments are first adopted for the year ending 31 December 2014, they are unlikely to have
any significant impact on the Group as the entity is a Tier 1 entity.
(v) AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities
AASB 2012-3 adds application guidance to AASB 132 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some
of the offsetting criteria of AASB 132, including clarifying the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable
right of set-off” and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement.
When AASB 2012-3 is first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2014, there will be no impact on the
Group as this standard merely clarifies existing requirements in AASB 132.
(vi) AASB 2013-3 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Disclosures
These narrow-scope amendments address disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of
impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal.
When developing IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the IASB decided to amend IAS 36 Impairment of Assets
to require disclosures about the recoverable amount of impaired assets. The IASB noticed however that some
of the amendments made in introducing those requirements resulted in the requirement being more broadly
applicable than the IASB had intended. These amendments to IAS 36 therefore clarify the IASB’s original
intention that the scope of those disclosures is limited to the recoverable amount of impaired assets that is
based on fair value less costs of disposal
When these amendments are adopted for the first time on 1 January 2014, they are unlikely to have any
significant impact on the Group given that they are largely of the nature of clarification of existing
requirements.
71
ABN 85 159 714 397
(vii) AASB 2013-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives

and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
AASB 2013-4 makes amendments to AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition & Measurement to permit
the continuation of hedge accounting in circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a
hedging instrument, is novatedfrom one counterparty to a central counterparty as a consequence of laws or
regulations.
When these amendments are adopted for the first time on 1 January 2014, they are unlikely to have any
significant impact on the Group given that they are largely of the nature of clarification of existing
requirements.
(viii) AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Investment Entity
The amendments in AASB 2013-5 provide an exception to consolidation to investment entities and require
them to measure unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with AASB 9
Financial Instruments (or AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement where AASB 9 has
not yet been adopted). The amendments also introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities
that have subsidiaries.
These amendments apply to investment entities, whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns
from capital appreciation, investment income or both.
When this standard is first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2014, there will be no impact on the
entity because the parent entity does not meet the definition of ‘investment entity’. Hence, the entity is still
required to consolidate.
(ix) AASB Interpretation 21 Levies
AASB Interpretation 21 addressed how an entity should account for liabilities to pay levies imposed by
governments, other than income taxes, in its financial statements (in particular, when the entity should
recognise a liability to pay a levy).
AASB Interpretation 21 is an interpretation of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets. AASB 137 sets out criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the requirement for the
entity to have a present obligation as a result of a past event (known as an obligating event). The
Interpretation clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity
described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy. For example, if the activity that
triggers the payment of the levy is the generation of revenue in the current period and the calculation of that
levy is based on the revenue that was generated in a previous period, the obligating event for that levy is the
generation of revenue in the current period. The generation of revenue in the previous period is necessary,
but not sufficient, to create a present obligation.
When this interpretation is adopted for the first time on 1 January 2014, there will be no significant impact on
the financial statements as the Group is not subject any levies addressed by this interpretation.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the
entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
The Group has not elected to early adopt any new standards or amendments that are issued but not yet
effective and has not yet assessed the impact of these standards.
72
ABN 85 159 714 397
(x) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle is a collection of amendments to IFRSs in response to four
issues addressed during the 2011–2013 cycle.
Among other improvements, the amendments clarify that an entity should assess whether an acquired
property is an investment property under IAS 40 Investment Property and perform a separate assessment
under IFRS 3 Business Combinations to determine whether the acquisition of the investment property
constitutes a business combination.
When these amendments are first adopted for the year ended 31 December 2015, there will be no material
impact on the entity.
