DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The consolidated loss of the consolidated group for the financial year after providing for income tax

amounted to $4,482,794 (2008: $3,727,407). The loss of the parent entity for the financial year after

providing for income tax amounted to $125 (2008: $94).

Principle Activities and Significant Changes in the Nature of Activities

The principal activities of the consolidated group during the financial year were:

1. Following the acquisition of AACL Pty Ltd the development and management of investments in the

grain industry.

2. establishment of carbon sinks for the purposes of sequestration of carbon from the atmosphere via its

investment in Carbon Conscious Ltd.

No significant change in the nature of these activities occurred during the year.

Review of Operations

A review of the operations of the consolidated group during the financial year and the results of those

operations found that the number of tonnes contracted as at 30 June 2009 increased by 24% to 467,000

versus contracted tonnes as at 30 June 2008 of 376,000. During June 2009 AACL Wholesale was party to

an agreement with Grain Pool Pty Ltd whereby Grain Pool provided a loan advance of $30 million which

was used to fund farmer commitments. With this “wholesale” arrangement in place as opposed to AACL

Pty Ltd earning a fixed initial period fee through its Grain Co-Production Product, the amount paid to

farmers under this “wholesale” arrangement have been brought to account as inventory in the balance

sheet.

As a result of this Revenue is lower at $61,081,506 (2008: $66,946,244), however the revenue from the

sales of wholesale grain will be brought to account in the profit and loss in the next financial year.

Agronomic costs are also lower at $58,269,624 (2008: $66,374,888), this is largely due to the amount paid

to farmers under the wholesale arrangement have been brought to account as inventory in the balance

sheet.

The consolidated group incurred some significant expenses which the directors consider to be non-

recurring and not part of normal operations.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Cost attributable to farmer performance bonus special offers

In the 2007 and 2008 season, due to low global grain stocks and production issues around the world, grainprice markets (both in Australia and overseas) had one of the most volatile trading periods on record.Resulting in prices at the start of the 2008 season being very high compared to historical values.

This market volatility meant that some farmers, particularly in more stable production areas, were reluctant to commit to grow crops under Grain Co-Production as they were concerned about the potential costs(versus using traditional finance) and in giving up control over the marketing of the grain. To ensure thatthe GCP Projects achieved a suitable diversification of farming locations, AACL provided selected farmerswith the following options:

1. The right to select a benchmark (e.g. an external pool) price which would then be used to calculatethe delivered value of grain for the purposes of determining the farmer bonus payable independentof the price received in the GCP Project Pool.

2. A reduced target value offer which lowered the level at which a farmer would achieve a farmerbonus from AACL.

The cost, if any, being the difference between the farmer bonus payable to the farmer under the optionsoffered by AACL and the maximum set under the product disclosure statement for the GCP Projects, wasto be borne by AACL. AACL considered this potential cost to be warranted to ensure an appropriate geographic spread of farmers in the GCP Projects. As a consequence of continued volatility in grainmarkets, and compounded by the offers made to these farmers, AACL incurred a cost of $3,301,000 in theyear ended 30 June 2009 as this cost is incorporated in the Agronomic costs within the Income Statement.

This cost is a once-off cost. AACL has since developed the GCP model such that both options are nolonger available to farmers. Under the current model the price that is used in determining the bonus payable by the GCP Project and by AACL to the farmer are the same. The structure of the new model hasalso addressed farmer pricing concerns in relation to volatile grain markets and seasons where the price ishigh at the commencement of the season.

Development costs

These are considered costs which are a one off and not part of normal operations of the AACL business

(A$’000)

Corporate advice and capital raising - corporate advisers were contracted to provide corporate advice and assist with raising capital. No long term funding arrangements resulted and these costs were expensed. The expenses in relation to this offer, will be brought to account against equity.

424

Establishment of Broadacre Investment Fund Structure 97

Product modeling, system analysis and charting - external consultants were contracted to undertake specific modeling and system mapping tasks that are not anticipated to be undertaken again and are not considered part of ongoing operating costs.

249

Specialist consulting: human resources, grain marketing, political lobbying – specialist consultants were contracted to undertake specific tasks that are not anticipated to be required again and are not considered part of ongoing operating costs.

104

Due diligence costs – business transaction 184

1,058

These costs are included under marketing costs and administration expenses within the Income Statement.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Significant Changes in State of Affairs

The following significant changes in the state of affairs of the parent entity occurred during the financial

year:

i. On 15 December 2008 the company made a Scrip for Scrip offer to AACL Pty Ltd (AACL)

shareholders. The company issued 15,433,575 shares to AACL shareholders in consideration for

100% of the issued capital of AACL on the basis of 7 shares for every 20 AACL shares held. The

offer was accepted and the consolidated group was formed on 15 December 2008.

ii. On 5 June 2009 AACL Wholesale Pty Ltd (AACL Wholesale) was incorporated with 100% of the

share capital owned by Broadacre Asset Management Ltd and forms part of the consolidated

group.

iii. Both AACL and AACL Wholesale operations involve attracting investment in main stream

agriculture, such as wheat, barley and canola production and to provide investment vehicles to

facilitate that investment.

iv. The company is the largest shareholder in Carbon Conscious Ltd (CCF) presently holding a 30%

interest in the issued capital. During the year the company also obtained a seat on the Board of

Directors. The two conditions satisfy significant influence and therefore CCF is treated as an

associate from 15 December 2008.

During May and June 2009 the Company entered into loan agreements with two of its directors,

subsequent to year end these loans have been drawn. These loans are detailed below:

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Subsequent to year end the Company has incorporated two new entities, AACL Holdings Ltd and AACL

Services Pty Ltd, the details of these entities are as follows:

! 100% owned by Broadacre Asset Management Ltd

2. AACL Holdings Ltd (ACN: 139 977 772)

Convertible Note was issued for $1,000,000 with a fixed interest payment of $100,000 due at conversion or

repayment which is payable from 28 January 2010.

Other than those matters noted above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the

financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated

group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated group in future financial

years.

Likely developments in the operations of the consolidated group and the expected results of those

operations in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such

information is likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated group.

law of the Commonwealth or of a state or territory.

No dividends have been paid or declared since the start of the financial year.

No options over issued shares or interests in the company or a controlled entity were granted during or

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Broadacre Asset

Management Ltd and controlled entities (‘Consolidated Group’ or ‘Group’), and the separate financial

statements and notes of Broadacre Asset Management Ltd as an individual parent entity (‘Parent Entity’).

NOTE 1: STATEMENT 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) 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.

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also

comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. 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.

Going Concern

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group

will be able to meet its commitments, realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of

the business. The balance sheet at 30 June 2009 shows a net liabilities position of $6,027,691. The

Directors are of the opinion the Group is a going concern on the basis that an Initial Public Offering (IPO)

for AACL Holdings Limited (incorporated by Broadacre Asset Management Ltd on 13 October 2009) will

be completed in December 2009 and will raise funding of a minimum of $13,894,000 (net of issue costs),

the IPO is not underwritten.

Should the Group be unsuccessful in raising the balance of $13,894,000 from the IPO, and the existing

shareholders are unable to provide sufficient funds to replace these funds, then the going concern basis

may not be appropriate and the Group may have to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other

than in the ordinary course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the Financial

Statements. No allowance for such circumstances has been made in the Financial Statements.

Reverse Acquisition

Broadacre Asset Management Ltd Limited completed the legal acquisition of AACL Pty Ltd on 15

December 2008.

Under the terms of AASB 3 Business Combinations, AACL Pty Ltd was deemed to be the accounting

acquirer in the business combination. This transaction has therefore been accounted for as a reverse

acquisition under AASB 3. Accordingly the consolidated financial statements of Broadacre Asset

Management Ltd Limited have been prepared as a continuation of the consolidated financial statements

of AACL Pty Ltd. Broadacre Asset Management Ltd, as the deemed legal acquirer, has accounted for the

acquisition of AACL Pty Ltd from 15 December 2009. The comparative information from 1 July 2008

presented in the consolidated financial statements is that of AACL Pty Ltd. Refer to Note 25 for further

details of the business combination.

The implications of the application of AASB 3 on each of the attached financial statements are as follows:

- The cash balance of AACL Pty Ltd and Broadacre Asset Management Ltd at the end of the year.

- The 2008 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows comprises 12 months of AACL Pty Ltd.

As the reverse acquisition accounting principles outlined above apply only in the Consolidated financials,

the Parent entity financials will continue to represent Broadacre Asset Management as a stand alone

entity for the 2009 and 2008 financial years.

a. Principles of Consolidation

A controlled entity is any entity over which Broadacre Asset Management Ltd has the power to

govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing

the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are

considered.

A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 22 to the financial statements.

As at reporting date, the assets and liabilities of all controlled entities have been incorporated into

the consolidated financial statements as well as their results for the year then ended. Where

controlled entities have entered (left) the consolidated group during the year, their operating

results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased).

All inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated group, including

any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of

subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by

the parent entity.

Minority interests, being that portion of the profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries attributable

to equity interests held by persons outside the group, are shown separately within the Equity

section of the consolidated Balance Sheet and in the consolidated Income Statement.

Business combinations

Business combinations occur where control over another business is obtained and results in the

consolidation of its assets and liabilities. All business combinations, including those involving

entities under common control, are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The

purchase method requires an acquirer of the business to be identified and for the cost of the


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 14 of 14


acquisition and fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be

determined as at acquisition date, being the date that control is obtained. Cost is determined as

the aggregate of fair values of assets given, equity issued and liabilities assumed in exchange for

control together with costs directly attributable to the business combination. Any deferred

consideration payable is discounted to present value using the entity’s incremental borrowing

rate.

Goodwill is recognised initially at the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair

value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If the fair value of

the acquirer’s interest is greater than cost, the surplus is immediately recognised in profit or loss.

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, branches,

associates, and joint ventures, 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.


ABN 41 120 002 146

Tax consolidation

Broadacre Asset Management Ltd and its wholly owned Australian subsidiaries have not formed

an income tax consolidated group under tax consolidation legislation.

c. Inventories

Per AASB 141: Inventory shall be measured at its fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs at the point of harvest. The general basis on which cost is determined is the value against the Harvest Loan. The basis of valuation is the same as that used at the end of the previous financial period.

d. Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated 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 assets’ employment and

subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values

in determining recoverable amounts.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, 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.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate

Office Equipment 20 - 40%

Fixtures and Fittings 20%

Computer Systems Software 15%

Motor Vehicles 18.75%

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 or losses are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold,

amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained

earnings.

e. Leases

Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of

the asset, but not the legal ownership that are transferred to entities in the consolidated group,

are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recording an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts

equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments,

including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of

the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful

lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with

the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 16 of 16


Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-

line basis over the life of the lease term.

f. 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 (trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction 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

Finance instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective

interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be

exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. 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: (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is

measured at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (iii) plus or minus the cumulative

amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity

amount calculated using the effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment.

The effective interest method is used to allocate 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 in profit or loss.

The group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as

being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial

instruments.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are either

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 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.

(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 group’s intention to hold

these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 17 of 17


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 or determinable

payments.

(v) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently

measured at amortised cost.

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 income statement.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire 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.

g. 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 income statement.

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and 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.

h. Investments in Associates

Investments in associate companies are recognised in the financial statements by applying the

equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting recognises the group’s share of

post-acquisition reserves of its associates.

i. Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill and goodwill on consolidation are initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase

price for a business combination exceeds the fair value attributed to the interest in the net fair

value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at date of acquisition. Goodwill on

acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates

is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at

cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include

the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 18 of 18


Software

Software costs have a finite useful life. Software costs are capitalised and written off over the

useful economic life of seven years. Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer

software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated

with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group, and that

will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as

intangible assets.

j. 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 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.

k. 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.

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation

at balance date.

l. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include 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

balance sheet.

m. Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts

disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances and duties and taxes paid. Revenue

from major business activities include: revenue earned from the provision of services, including

management of the Grain Co Production projects and the marketing and sale of grain, revenue

earned from the sale of grain, including sales made on a cash basis and sales made to grain

pools.

(i) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the risks and rewards of the ownership of goods

are transferred to the customer. This occurs upon delivery of the goods. In the case of grain

sales, the delivery date is taken as the transaction date unless title is to pass at a materially

different time. Revenue earned on grain sales made to grain pools is recognised on receipt of

distributions from the pool, which occur approximately four times per annum. Due to uncertainties

on price and total pool sales data it is only at this point that grain pool revenue can be reliably

measured.

(ii) Services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion

of the contract. Amounts billed in advance are recorded as a current liability until such time as the

service is performed.

(iii) Other revenue

Other revenue includes rental income which is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease

term, interest income which is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest

rate method and dividends which are recognised when the right to receive payment is

established.

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


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 19 of 19


n. 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 of sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in income in the period in which they are incurred.

o. 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 Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST

is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST

component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

p. Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to

changes in presentation for the current financial year.

q. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

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 group.

Key estimates - Impairment

(i) Impairment

The company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the

company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the

recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing

recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

r. New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued new, revised and amended Standards and Interpretations that have

mandatory application dates for future reporting periods and which the group has decided not to

early adopt. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact on the group is as

follows:

• AASB 3: Business Combinations, AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial

Statements, AASB 2008–3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from

AASB 3 and AASB 127 [AASB Standards 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 101, 107, 112, 114, 116, 121, 128,

131, 132, 133, 134, 136, 137, 138 and 139 and Interpretations 9 and 107] (applicable for

annual reporting periods commencing from 1 July 2009) and AASB 2008–7: Amendments

to Australian Accounting Standards — Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly

Controlled Entity or Associate [AASB 1, AASB 118, AASB 121, AASB 127 and AASB 136]

(applicable for annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). These

Standards are applicable prospectively and so will only affect relevant transactions and

consolidations occurring from the date of application. In this regard, the impact on the

group is not able to be determined. Changes to accounting requirements include:

— acquisition costs incurred in a business combination will no longer be booked to

goodwill but will be expensed unless the cost relates to issuing debt or equity

securities;


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 20 of 20


— contingent consideration will be measured at fair value at the acquisition date and

may only be provisionally accounted for during a period of 12 months after

acquisition;

— a gain or loss of control will require the previous ownership interests to be

remeasured to their fair value;

— there shall be no gain or loss from transactions affecting a parent’s ownership

interest of a subsidiary with all transactions required to be accounted for through

equity (this will not represent a change to the group’s policy);

— dividends declared out of pre-acquisition profits will not be deducted from the cost

of an investment but will be recognised as income;

— impairment of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates shall be

considered when a dividend is paid by the respective investee; and

— where there is in substance no change to group interests, parent entities inserted

above existing groups shall measure the cost of its investments at the carrying

amount of its share of the equity items shown in the balance sheet of the original

parent at the date of reorganisation.

The group will need to determine whether to maintain its present accounting policy of

calculating goodwill acquired based on the parent’s share of net assets acquired or

change so that goodwill recognised will also reflect that of the non-controlling interest.

• AASB 8: Operating Segments and AASB 2007–3: Amendments to Australian Accounting

Standards arising from AASB 8 [AASB 5, AASB 6, AASB 102, AASB 107, AASB 119,

AASB 127, AASB 134, AASB 136, AASB 1023 and AASB 1038] (applicable for annual

reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). This Standard replaces AASB 114

and requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are

regularly reviewed by the group’s board for the purposes of decision making. Whilst the

impact of this Standard cannot be assessed at this stage, there is the potential for more

segments to be identified. Given the lower economic level at which segments may be

defined, and the fact that cash-generating units cannot be bigger than operating segments,

impairment calculations may be affected. Management presently do not believe

impairment will result however.

• AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 2007–8: Amendments to

Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101, and AASB 2007–10: Further

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101 (all applicable to

annual reporting periods commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 101 and

amendments supersede the previous AASB 101 and redefine the composition of financial

statements including the inclusion of a statement of comprehensive income. There will be

no measurement or recognition impact on the group. If an entity has made a prior period

adjustment or reclassification, a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the comparative

period will be required.

• AASB 123: Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007–6: Amendments to Australian Accounting

Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116

and AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 and 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods

commencing from 1 January 2009). The revised AASB 123 has removed the option to

expense all borrowing costs and will therefore require the capitalisation of all borrowing

costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying

asset. Management has determined that there will be no effect on the group as a policy of

capitalising qualifying borrowing costs has been maintained by the group.


ABN 41 120 002 146


Page 21 of 21


• AASB 2008–1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard — Share-based

Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations [AASB 2] (applicable for annual reporting

periods commencing from 1 January 2009). This amendment to AASB 2 clarifies that

vesting conditions consist of service and performance conditions only. Other elements of

a share-based payment transaction should therefore be considered for the purposes of

determining fair value. Cancellations are also required to be treated in the same manner

whether cancelled by the entity or by another party.

• AASB 2008–5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual

Improvements Project (July 2008) and AASB 2008–6: Further Amendments to Australian

Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project (July 2008) detail

numerous non-urgent but necessary changes to Accounting Standards arising from the

IASB’s annual improvements project. No changes are expected to materially affect the

group.

The group does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above reporting requirements and does

not expect them to have any material effect on the group’s financial statements.

probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:

a. The company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable

the benefit from the deductions for the loss to be realised;

b. The Company continues to comply with conditions for deductibility imposed by law; and

c. No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the

deductions for the loss.

Financial Risk Management Policies

The directors’ overall risk management strategy seeks 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 Board of Directors on a regular basis. These include the credit risk

policies and future cash flow requirements.

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for company operations. The

company does not have any derivative instruments at 30 June 2009.

Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk

and credit risk.

a. Interest rate risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at

reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair

value of fixed rate financial instruments. The group is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating

rate instruments.

The net effective variable interest rate borrowings (ie unhedged debt) exposes the group to

interest rate risk which will impact future cash flows and interest charges and is indicated by the

following floating interest rate financial liabilities:

b. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts

or otherwise meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities. The group manages this risk

through the following mechanisms:

• preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operational, investing and

financing activities;

c. Foreign exchange risk

The extent to which the Group is at risk to foreign exchange fluctuations is limited to the impact exchange rate movements have on commodity prices (grain prices).

d. Credit risk

Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge

an obligation and cause the Company to incur a financial loss.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at

balance date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any

provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the

financial statements.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or company of

debtors under financial instruments entered into by the company.

e. Commodity Price risk

Commodity price risk is the risk that the sale value of commodities decrease as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to individual commodities or factors affecting all commodities or financial instruments in the market place. The Company has invested in the production and marketing of grain produced on farm land in Australia and is consequently exposed to the risk of a fall in grain prices.

Net Fair Values

The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying values as

disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the group’s exposures to changes in interest rates, equity

prices and commodity prices. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at

balance date would have been affected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management

considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable

is independent of other variables.

NOTE 31: PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENTS

(i) An adjustment of $1,686,920 has been made to the prior year retained earnings of the Group. In preparing the

2008 Financial Statements of AACL Pty Ltd, management incorrectly calculated the amount of accrued income as

at 30 June 2008. This error had the effect of overstating revenue, trade and other receivables and understating

accumulated losses by $1,686,920 as at 30 June 2008.

(ii) A reclassification of $9,403,277 has been made between trade and other receivables and cash and cash

equivalents of the Group as at 30 June 2008. Amounts held in a trust account by Macro Funds Ltd on behalf of

AACL were disclosed as a receivable rather than a cash equivalent as at 30 June 2008. This error had the effect

of overstating trade and other receivables and understating cash and cash equivalents by $9,403,277 as at 30

June 2008. This error had nil effect on the net assets of AACL Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2008.

(iii) A reclassification of $167,404 has been made between property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of

the Group as at 30 June 2008. Software capitalised had been incorrectly disclosed as an item of plant property

and equipment and not as an intangible asset as at 30 June 2008. This error had the effect of overstating plant

property and equipment and understating intangible assets by $167,404 as at 30 June 2008. This error had nil

effect on the net assets of AACL Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2008.

The errors have been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items in the income

statement and balance sheet. The reconciliation of the balance before and after the restatement is as follows:

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, which form part of the financial report are appropriate to meet the financial reporting requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibilities include establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used, as described in Note 1, are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

The financial report has been prepared for distribution to members for the purpose of fulfilling the directors’ financial reporting under the Corporations Act 2001. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor’s OpinionIn our opinion, the financial report of Broadacre Asset Management Pty Ltd is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

a. giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2009 and of its performance for the period ended on that date in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1; and

b. complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1 complying with the Corporations Regulations 2001.

As a result of the matters described in Note 1 to the financial statements, there is significant uncertainty whether the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
