In what has been a challenging economic environment over the past year, it is with pleasure that I present the 2012 annual report, which shows another strong year of operations for Peer Support Australia. In times like this, the sustainability of our model and leverage of our tight knit team really come to the fore and it never ceases to amaze me that – with our team of just eight staff – we are able to deliver the Peer Support Program in over 1,000 primary and secondary schools across Australia, impacting on more than 200,000 young people each year. Of course this could not be achieved without the dedication of our education and administration personnel, and their contribution is again acknowledged under the trusted guidance of our General Manager, Sharon Austin. The stability and strength of our team enables us to get on with what we do best – developing and delivering programs to our member schools. Under the guidance of the Board a new strategic plan was implemented this year which I believe will underpin our activities and vision of developing mental, social and emotional wellbeing in young people enabling them to make informed and skilled contributions to their communities. It has long been the view of the Board that Peer Support Australia will exist only as long as we are making a positive contribution to the lives and wellbeing of children, and so we remain firmly focused on that goal with the hope that one day our work will be done and the organisation will become redundant. Until that time, we of course remain committed to giving the students who participate in our Program every advantage in their lives.

To this end I acknowledge the continued financial support the Foundation receives from the Department of Health and Ageing that has been instrumental in reaching the many regional areas that clearly have a need for the Programs we offer, and thank our financial supporters, large and small, without whom we could not exist. I would like to particularly mention the ongoing support of NSW Health, the Raymond E Purves Foundation, the Woodend Foundation, and the James N Kirby Foundation.

I look forward to another productive year ahead for Peer Support Australia in this our 30th year of operations. We’ve certainly come a long way over this time and have every intention of making our mark well into the future.

I would like to begin by congratulating Sara on her marriage this year. We all wish her much happiness for the future. I would also like to thank all the team at Peer Support Australia for their hard work and dedication. It has been a very busy year with excellent results and an increase in participation rates of 9% on the previous year. New student leadership training was developed for Primary schools and already 375 Primary schools are taking advantage of this. A primary school module focusing on resilience is also being produced. This will be available to schools in July 2012. Next year the Education team will be concentrating on developing secondary resources and we look forward to liaising with schools on the development. We have received many requests from schools in South Australia to provide them with the same opportunities for training as schools in other states. As a result of these requests more than 40 teachers from South Australia have attended implementation training with Peer Support Australia. Feedback was very positive with teachers commenting that they felt that the Peer Support Program would help their school in “endless ways”, “had too many benefits to list” and would result in “embedding values and building school culture”. I was delighted to have the opportunity to personally visit schools in the Northern Territory, Cairns, Perth and Tasmania. It is wonderful to hear the great experiences from schools that have taken part in the Peer Support Program, and interesting to note the consistency of outcomes irrespective of geographical location, sector or ICSEA value. In October we were very happy to have the opportunity to entertain our long-term supporters with a dinner party at Kirribilli House. It was a great evening and thoroughly enjoyed by all. We were particularly pleased to catch up with Barbara Cummins and Belinda Bussell from the Woodend Foundation, Judith Bell from Catholic Church Insurances Limited and Rob and Sandra Purves of the Raymond E Purves Foundation. The board and staff spent a considerable amount of time in determining our strategic direction for the next 3 years. The published strategic plan is now available on our website. I am sure this will serve us well into 2015.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Page 6

The financial report is for The Peer Support Foundation Limited as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Peer Support Foundation Limited is a company limited by guarantee.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) 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. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and 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.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2012 by the directors of the company.

Accounting Policies

a. Revenue

Non-reciprocal grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the entity obtains control of the grant and it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably.

If conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before it is eligible to receive the contribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied.

When grant revenue is received whereby the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue is recognised in the balance sheet as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt.

Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received unless they are designated for specific purpose, where they are carried forward as prepaid income on the statement of financial position.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customers.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

All revenue is stated at net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

b. Inventories on Hand

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement value.

Inventories acquired at no cost, of for nominal consideration are valued at the current replacement cost as at the date of acquisition.

c. Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values as indicated, less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of the plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount. A formal assessment of the recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present.

Plant and equipment that have been contributed at no cost or for nominal cost are valued at the fair value of the asset at the date it is acquired.

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 entity 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 depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate

Plant and equipment 5 - 40%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income statement. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.

d. Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method

Effective interest method is used to allocated interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.

Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, current bid prices in an active market are used to determine fair value for all quoted investments. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. 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.

(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, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are 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. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.

(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. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

CIA

L R

EP

Page 9

(iii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit and loss through the amortisation process and when the financial asset is derecognised.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed determinable payments.

They are subsequently measured at fair value with any remeasurements other than impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.

Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets when they are expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets.

(v) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Impairment

At each reporting period, the entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets will deemed be to impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of the occurrence of one or more of the following events (a “loss event”), which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

In the case of financial assets carried forward at amortised costs (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having undertaken all possible measures of recovery, if the management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the writing off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of the impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment account was previously recognised in the allowance accounts.

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated the company recognises the impairment for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss

events that have occurred are duly considered.

Derecognition

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 no longer has any significant continuing 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.

e. Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the entity 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 recognised in profit or loss.

Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong.

Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is recognised against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that class of asset.

f. Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits expected to be settled 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. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows attributable to employee benefits.

Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

g. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

h. Accounts Receivables and Other Debtors

Accounts receivables and other debtors include amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Accounts receivables are recognised at fair value less any provision for impairment.

i. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

j. Income Tax

No provision for income tax has been raised as the entity is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

k. Intangibles

Software

Software is recorded at cost. Software has a finite life and is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. It has an estimated useful life of between one and three years. It is assessed annually for impairment.

l. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the entity 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. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation the end of the reporting period.

m. Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

When an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period must be disclosed.

n. Accounts Payable and Other Payables

Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

m. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key Estimates

Impairment

The company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluation of conditions specific to the company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-on-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Key judgments

Provision for impairment of receivables

Included in trade and other receivables is a provision for impairment of $1,500 at 30 June 2012.

n. Economic Dependence

The Peer Support Foundation Limited is dependent on NSW Health and Department of Health and Ageing for a large part of its revenue used to operate the business. At the date of this report the Board of Directors has no reason to believe the Department will not continue to support The Peer Support Foundation Limited.

o. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The Australian Accounting Standards Board have issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods, some of which are relevant to the company. The company has decided not to early adopt any of the new and amended pronouncements. The company’s assessment of the new and amended pronouncements that are relevant to the company but applicable in future reporting periods is set our below:

- AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2010) and AASB 2010-7: amendments to Australian standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard is applicable retrospectively and includes revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, as well as recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments.

The key changes made to accounting requirements include: - simplifying the classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost

and those carried at fair value; - simplifying the requirements for embedded derivatives; - removing the tainting rules associated with held-to-maturity assets; - removing the requirements to separate an fair value embedded derivatives for

financial assets carried at amortised cost; - allowing 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. 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;

- requiring financial assets to be reclassified where there is a change in an entity’s business model as they are initially classified based on: (a) the objective of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets; and (b) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows; and

- requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in the other comprehensive income, except when that would create an accounting mismatch. If such a mismatch would be created or enlarged, the entity is required to present all changes in fair value (including the effects of changes in the credit risk of the liability) in profit or loss.

- AASB 1053: Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements [AASB 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 101, 102, 107, 108, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 119, 121, 123, 124, 127, 128, 131, 133, 134, 136, 1347, 138, 140, 141, 1050 & 1052 and Interpretations 2, 4, 5, 15, 17, 127, 129 & 1052] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2013).

AASB 1053 establishes a revised differential financial reporting framework consisting of two tiers of financial reporting requirements for those entities preparing general purpose financial statements: - Tier 1: Australian Accounting Standards; and - Tier 2: Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements.

Tier 2 of the framework comprises the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements of Tier 1, but contains significantly fewer disclosure requirements.

Since the company is a not-for-profit private sector entity, it qualifies for the reduced disclosure requirements for Tier 2 entities. It is anticipated that the company will take advantage of Tier 2 reporting at a later date.

- AASB 2010-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets [AASB 112] (applies to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012).

This Standard makes amendments to AASB 112: Income Taxes and Incorporates Interpretation 121: Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets into AASB 112.

Under the current AASB 112, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether the entity expects to recover an asset by using it or by selling it. The amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

The amendments are not expected to impact the company.

- AASB 10: Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11: Joint Arrangements, AASB 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, AASB 127: Separate Financial Statements [August 2011]; AASB 128: Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures [August 2011] and ASSB 2011-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

AASB 10 replaces parts of AASB 127 [March 2008, as amended] and Interpretation 112: Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. AASB 10 provides a revised definition of control and additional application guidance so that a single control model will apply to all investees. The company has not yet been able to reasonable estimate the impact of this Standard on its financial statements.

AASB 11 replaces AASB 131: Interests in Joint Ventures (July 2004, as amended). AASB 11 requires joint arrangements to be classified as either “joint operations” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities) or “joint ventures” (where the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement). Joint ventures are required to adopt the equity method of accounting (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed).

AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements applicable to entities that hold an interest in a subsidiary joint venture, joint operation or associate. AASB 12 also introduces the concept of a “structured entity”, replacing the “special purpose entity” concept currently used in Interpretation 112, and requires specific disclosures in respect of any investments in unconsolidated structure entities. This Standard will affect disclosures only and is not expected to significantly impact the company.

To facilitate the application of AASBs 10, 11 and 12, revised versions of AASB 127 and AASB 128 have also been issued. These Standards are not expected to significantly impact the company.

- AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

AASB 13 defines fair value, sets out in a single Standard a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurement. AASB 13 requires: -Inputs to all fair value measurements to be categorised in accordance with a fair value hierarchy; and -Enhanced disclosures regarding all assets and liabilities (including, but not limited to, financial assets and financial liabilities) measured at fair value.

These standards are not expected to significantly impact the company.

- AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2012).

The main change arising from this Standard is the requirement for entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently.

This standard affects presentation only and is therefore not expected to significantly impact the company.

- AASB 119: Employee benefits [September 2011] and AASB 2011-10: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (applicable for reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013).

These Standards introduce a number of changes to accounting and presentation of defined benefit plans. The company does not have any defined benefit plans so is not impacted by the amendment.

AASB 119 [September 2011] also includes changes to:(a) require only those benefits that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service to be classified as short-term employee benefits. All other employee benefits are to be classified as either other long-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits or are termination benefits, as appropriate; and

(b) the accounting for termination benefits that require an entity to recognise an obligation for such benefits at the earlier of:

(i) where for an offer than may be withdrawn – when the employee accepts;

(ii) where for an offer that cannot be withdrawn – when the offer is communicated to affected employees and

(iii) where the termination is associated with a restructuring of activities under AASB 137 and if earlier than the first two conditions – when the related restructuring costs are recognised.

The associated has not yet been able to reasonably estimate the impact of these changes to AASB 119.

(ii) Credit Risk – Trade and Other Debtors

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables.

The following table details the company’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled within the terms and conditions agreed between the company and the customer or counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the company.

The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

Financial Risk Management Policies

Management is responsible for monitoring and managing the company’s compliance with it’s risk management strategy and consists of senior board members. The overall risk management strategy is to assist the company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the management on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risk the company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and other price risk.

There have been no substantive changes in the types of risks the company is exposed to, how these risks arise or the board’s objectives, policies and processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

a. Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk relating financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the company.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposures as its major source of revenue is the receipt of grants. Credit risk is further mitigated as over 90% of the grants received from state and federal governments are in accordance with funding agreements which ensure regular funding.

Credit Risk Exposures

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised financial assets at the end of the reporting period is equivalent to the carrying value and classification of those financial assets (net of any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial position.

Accounts receivable and other debtors that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed in Note 5.

The company has no significant concentrations of credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of accounts receivable and other debtors are provided in Note 5.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the Board of Directors in accordance with approved Board policy. Such policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard and Poor’s (S&P) rating of at least AA-. The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and money market securities based on Standard & Poor’s counterparty credit ratings

- AA rated 1,925,935 1,823,733 1,925,935 1,823,733

b. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The entity manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

- Management prepares an annual income and expense budget in July approved by the Board and is regularly monitored and reviewed.

- The Board’s policy to Managing credit risk related to financial assets, is to invest only the surplus cash with the four major financial institutions and Rabo Bank Online.

- Investments are restricted to a maximum of $750,000 in the accounts held with any one of the four major financial institutions (Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank, Westpac and ANZ) and Rabo Bank Online

- If the credit balance of any of the above accounts exceeds $ 500,000 the excess balance is invested in a Term Deposit and maturity dates of term deposits are staggered.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities. The company does not hold directly any derivative financial liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. Actual timing may therefore defer from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial liabilities reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates.

Other Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk) of securities held.

Sensitivity Analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the company’s exposures to changes in interest rates and equity prices. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at the end of the reporting period would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonable possible.

These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables

Profit $

Equity $

Year ended 30 June 2012 +/- 2 % in interest rates +/- 30,476 +/- 30,476

Yr ended 30 June 2011 +/- 2 % in interest rates +/-18,738 +/-18,738

There have been no changes in any of the assumptions used to prepare the above sensitivity analysis from the prior year.

Fair Values

Fair value estimation

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are presented in the following table and can be compared to their carrying amounts as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

Fair values derived may be based on information that is estimated or subject to judgement, where changes in assumptions may have a material impact on the amounts estimated. Areas of judgement and the assumptions have been detailed below. Where possible, valuation information used to calculate fair values is extracted from the market, with more reliable information available from markets that are actively traded. In this regard, fair values for listed securities are obtained from quoted market bid prices. Where securities are unlisted and no market quotes are available, fair value is obtained using discounted cash flow analysis and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.

Differences between fair values and carrying amounts of financial instruments with fixed interest rates are due to the change in discount rates being applied by the market since their initial recognition by the company. Most of these instruments, which are carried at amortised cost (ie trade receivables, loan liabilities), are to be held until maturity and therefore the net fair value figures calculated bear little relevant to the company at amortised cost (ie term receivables, loan liabilities) are to be held until maturity and therefore the net fair value figures calculated bear little relevance to the company.

available-for-sale financial assets, the directors have used inputs that are observable either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

(iii) Fair values of held-to-maturity investments are based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period.

(iv) Fair values are determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporation current commercial borrowing rates. The fair values of fixed rate debt will differ to the carrying values.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs uses in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

- quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1);

- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2) and;

- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Note 13: Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the entity to ensure that adequate cash flows are generated to fund its mentoring programs and that returns from investments are maximised within tolerable risk parameters. The management ensures that the overall risk management strategy is in line with this objective.

The management operates under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

The entity’s capital consists of financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

Management effectively manages the entity’s capital by assessing the entity’s financial risks and responding to changes in these risks and in the market. These responses may include the consideration of debt levels.

There have been no changes to the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the entity since the previous year. The strategy of the entity is to maintain a gearing ratio below 10%.
