THE PERIOD IN REVIEW

Chairman’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2014

The 2014 year has been a busy one for the group. The local economy has experienced some pressure from the downturn in mining particularly during the second half of the year and this has required careful planning and investment in future capacity.

The focus of the group continues to be around maximising the combined strengths of the subsidiaries to drive economies in processes and to recognise opportunities for growth.

Financial results

In the 2013-14 year the group generated a profit before taxation of $497,000 (2013 $850,000). This is positive result given the current economic climate. A subvention payment of $457,000 was made during the year from Buller Holdings to Buller District Council. A further subvention payment from WestReef Services to Buller District Council was made of $184,000 making a total distribution of $641,000 during the year ended 30 June 2014.

Due to the impending departure of Holcim NZ management has completed a detailed valuation of Buller Holdings Investment in Westport Harbour. Holcim NZ has confirmed they are leaving the district mid-2016 and currently there are no other significant revenue streams for Westport Harbour as a result Buller Holdings has incurred an impairment loss of $962,000 in the 2014 financial year to write down the investment held in Westport Harbour.

The taxation expense for the group has been calculated at $28,000. All of this is deferred tax using the loss offset provisions accumulated, meaning there will be no tax payable by the group for the 2014 year.

Subsidiary companies

WestReef Services Ltd has had another strong year generating revenue of $11,849,483 compared to $9,245,000 for the 2013 year. Profit before taxation of $1,346,217 whilst pleasing does not represent a corresponding level of increase and this is due largely to declining margins for core Buller District Council contract works and the timing for work completed on the Westport Water Treatment plant upgrade contract. The company has in the past had a strategy of growing competitively tendered works and remains focused on this strategy to ensure it reduces its dependency on the Council for revenue.

Buller Recreation Ltd has performed well throughout the year generating a loss before taxation of $735,000 compared to a loss of $759,000 for the 2013 year. However, it generated a small cash surplus.

Westport Harbour Ltd ended the year with a pre-tax profit of $40,643 compared to a profit of $436,000 in 2013. This is a disappointing result predominantly driven by unforseen maintenance cost related to dredge slipping maintenance. However the company has a policy of bringing assets up to acceptable levels and maintaining these over the long term and these costs are seen as part of the ownership risk associated with a vessel such as the dredge.

Governance

Monthly board meetings were held during the year providing an opportunity for review of each company’s performance against objectives and to consider opportunities and challenges faced. The Chief Executive and General Managers attend these meetings and present reports and engage in discussion with directors. An audit committee comprising of the full board meets at least quarterly, overseeing financial management and policy issues, legislative compliance and risk management.

A comprehensive risk management system was implemented at the beginning of the year with quarterly reporting from the management team.

Strategic direction & Future focus

Priorities identified in the annual planning session held January 2014 have been reflected in the annual business plans adopted for each company and remain the focus going forward.

Acquiring new port business is still a key issue for resolution, with the mining downturn and pending departure of Holcim NZ from its Westport Operation further highlighting the risks going forward for the Harbour business. A key objective for the coming year is to complete a review of all future opportunities for the Harbour.

Given the recession in the local economy over the last half of the financial year both WestReef and Buller Recreation have reaffirmed their focus to ensure cost management is at the forefront of their daily operation to ensure current market share is retained in their respective markets.

Director changes

At the 2013 annual general meeting, directors Paul Wylie and Kevin Jackson retired from the company and new directors, John Morten and Elizabeth Hopkins were appointed by the shareholder. I wish to record my appreciation for the work that Paul Wylie and Kevin Jackson carried out during their appointments.

I would also like to acknowledge the board’s appreciation of the efforts of staff of the companies within the group during the past year.

Chief Executive’s report

The departure of Trish Casey from the chief executive role in November 2013 has allowed for some movement within Buller Holdings management team and provided opportunities for further professional development. Each company in the group has a strong workplace culture relevant to their organisation and as a result this has excellent retention of quality employees. Safety is always a strong focus for the management team which also contributes to this culture by ensuring everyone has accountability for the wellbeing of people this was further highlighted by an external Health and Safety review completed during the year.

Throughout the year the companies have worked hard to improve what we do and to find new opportunities for growth. The successful procurement of the $4m Westport Water Treatment plant up-grade contract and work completed to date on this contract along with Planting and Grounds Maintenance work at Holcim & Stockton Alliance, Cycle way Construction for Mokihinui Lyell Back Country Trust and the ongoing outport dredging works at Port Nelson are examples of growth achievements made in the past year.

Holcim NZ Ltd’s decision to cease operations in Westport mid 2016 presents a significant challenge to be worked through with port management and directors in the short term. With a number of possible opportunities and scenarios currently being investigated re the future make up of Westport Harbour.

During the year the highlights for the group have been:

• Capital investments in key assets backed up with strong asset management planning in place throughout

the group • External review of the subsidiaries’ Health and Safety Procedures • Building strong relationships with new and existing clientele • Working closely with Buller District Council to ensure an alignment of objectives and use of combined

strengths • Retention of existing staff and continued investment in staff development • Winning the Buller District Council water treatment tender and construction work completed to date onsite

The management team is committed to continuing the focus on improvement, growth and support to the Buller Community. I extend my appreciation to the directors, the management team and to all employees who have contributed to a strong year for the group.

Buller Holdings Ltd 30 June 2014 6

Operations Manager’s report - WestReef Services Ltd

The 2013/2014 twelve-month period has seen a variety of changes occur throughout the Buller District and WestReef Services alike. We have operated in a challenging economic environment, experienced growth and obtained many achievements as a company.

A major contributor to change throughout the district recently has been the reduction in international coking coal prices; this has markedly slowed development and had a drastic impact on revenue streams within the private sector. Despite the corresponding regional economic downturn WestReef has continued in its drive forward both in a developmental capacity and financially. In April this year Cyclone Ita changed the face of the district causing extensive damage and thus generating much demolition and restorative work for the company.

With a total operating revenue of $11.8m, comparatively this presented a substantial increase (28%) on the previous twelve month period. The increase in revenue can largely be attributed to the Westport Water Treatment Plant upgrade contract. Whilst we have experienced development in revenue over the past year we have maintained a profit margin ($1.3m), almost identical to the 2012/2013 period.

2013 / 2014 has seen a clear shift in the economic climate however WestReef has grown in terms of capability. We have proceeded in undertaking several key construction projects. Most notably, Stage 1 of the Westport Water Treatment Plant contract – our largest contract to date has progressed well. Additionally, for the fourth consecutive year, we successfully tendered the Derby St contract. Our relationship with the Old Ghost Road cycleway has prospered and continues with further stages to be awarded. We have ensured a continuation of project delivery and fostering relationships with various key clients. This has proved invaluable ensuring stability through somewhat uncertain times.

Entering the Leading Light Business awards WestReef was a finalist in three categories and was the recipient of the Leading Light Enterprise Award.

It is pleasing to note that commitment to staff development is ongoing with staff undertaking various national certificate and diploma qualifications currently.

Much work and focus has been placed upon further development of the company Health &Safety process, practices and culture. Change has been driven here in order to align ourselves with new legislative changes that will come into effect early to mid-2015.

Further development of the company fleet has seen us make some major capital purchases. These include the ‘Ditch Witch’ Directional Drill and a new John Deere Grader. Attaining new ‘up-to-date’ plant and equipment has placed WestReef in a position where we can be competitive in a variety of markets both existing and up-coming.

Looking forward there are some exciting and obtainable opportunities that lie ahead. These include but are not limited to, the BDC Derby Street Contract, various directional drilling opportunities and The Old Ghost Road cycleway.

Although the economic future is somewhat uncertain throughout the district, we are placed well to take advantage of the opportunities that lay ahead. Remaining diverse and open to new challenges will aim to ensure the company is poised to remain resilient within a somewhat declining market place.

I wish to recognise the efforts of all staff for another safe and successful year of operations at WestReef. The strength, position and capability of the company are credit to all management and on-ground staff.

General Manager’s report - Buller Recreation Ltd

The 2013-14 year was another successful one for the Solid Energy Centre (SEC) given the economic climate of the region during this period. Our membership has unfortunately reduced due in part to economic pressures and a competitor’s gym opening in town, however we still have well over 500 members which is great to see, and have between 11-15,000 people come through our doors each month of the year.

Tribe Team Training was introduced to the SEC in March 2014, with one of the squash courts being converted to a training room specifically for this programme. Four teams of 8 were expected for the first season, however 6 teams signed up which was great to see. Since then Tribe has grown to 8 teams, and has stayed at that level, which is well beyond our initial expectations.

The energy improvements on the building have significantly reduced our costs, with our electricity consumption dropping by 20%. There are still some aspects of the improvement programme to implement, but we have already seen through this winter the improvement in system reliability and energy use.

The centre has once again hosted some big events, such as the West Coast Wedding Show, two weddings, a mid-winter ball and plenty of sporting tournaments. These tournaments bring teams from all over the South Island to Westport, and are a fantastic economic boost for the town. They would not be possible without the quality facility we have here, and many visitors comment on how fortunate we are to have such a facility in our town.

A recent customer survey gave us a score of 87.5% for our customer service, which was great feedback to receive. There is still plenty we can do to improve the service we provide, so the challenge for the next 12 months is to make these changes and continue to look for ways to make keeping fit and healthy a natural part of life for the people of the Buller.

Thanks once again to all those who support the facility. We look forward to another good year ahead with you all.

General Manager

Port Managers’ report - Westport Harbour Ltd

A very testing and trying year for Westport Harbour Limited with Holcim NZ’s announcement of its pending departure confirming the future loss of our main customer as such this naturally continues to give cause for concern.

The profit for the year was $40,643 ($436,000 in 2013) Considerably less than the previous year, however this can be attributed to unforeseen dredge maintenance cost that have been incurred during the Kawatiri’s bi-annual slipping.

During the year the departure of Harbour Master Bill Daniels prompted a rethink of the existing operational management structure. It was decided in the present financial climate and with the port’s future uncertain, that current Dredge Master could split his role to encompass Deputy Harbour Master (DHM) duties with a relief HM brought in for the rare situations where this was necessary.

In order to free up the Dredge Master for the DHM role, it was necessary to bring in another experienced Dredge master, and this made sense, particularly with plans for the future of the port being initially in out-port dredging opportunities. We have been extremely lucky to recruit Mike Dennis, a very experienced Dredge master from South Africa, who has fitted into the system very well.

The inshore fishing fleet’s activity has continued to trend upward over the past 12 months and ensure the Harbour area is very active during relevant fishing seasons.

Development and Contractual arrangements surrounding the Coal Handling facility have been placed on hold due to the well-publicised decline in the mining sector as previously mentioned this combined with pending departure of Holcim from the port operation have forced a rethink of the port’s future with all possible future opportunities currently being investigated.

As always the dedicated team of employees have provided a high quality of service to our customers, and have maintained their professionalism throughout the year.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

1/ Reporting Entity

Buller Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is wholly owned by the Buller District Council and is registered under the Companies Act 1993.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 1993, the Financial Reporting Act 1993 and the Local Government Act 2002.

Financial statements for the Company (separate financial statements) and consolidated financial statements are presented. The consolidated financial statements of Buller Holdings Limited and Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2014 comprise the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries WestReef Services Limited, Buller Recreation Limited and Westport Harbour Limited (collectively referred to as the “Group”).

The Company is domiciled in New Zealand. The main activities carried out by Buller Holdings Limited are governance of its subsidiaries WestReef Services Limited, Buller Recreation Limited, Westport Harbour Limited,and also Westport Airport Joint Venture and the Punakaiki Camp on behalf of Buller District Council.

The Company and Group are primarily involved in the management of Buller Port Services, WestReef Services Limited (infrastructure maintenance), the Westport Airport, and Buller Recreation Limited.

From 1 April 2014, the new Financial Reporting Act 2013 (“FRA 2013”) has come into force replacing the Financial Reporting Act 1993. This is effective for all for-profit entities with reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2014. This will be effective for the Company and Group’s 30 June 2015 year end.

It is expected that the change in legislation will have no material impact on the Company and Group’s obligations to prepare generally accepted accounting practice financial statements.

In addition to the change in legislation the External Reporting Board of New Zealand (“XRB”) has released a new accounting standards framework which establishes the financial standards to be applied to entities with statutory financial reporting obligations. The Company and Group currently report under NZ IFRS. Under the new XRB framework Management expects that the Company and Group will be reporting under the PBE Standards as applicable for Tier 1 entities. Management expects that this will materially impact the preparation and disclosures included in the financial statements. This will be applicable for the Group and Parent’s 30 June 2015 year end.

2/ Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”).

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently throughout all years presented in these financial statements.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 September 2014.

The Company and Group financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors believe the Company and Group will be able to generate sufficient cash from trading activities.

(b) Measurement Base

The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Zealand dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future years affected.

The key area of estimation is in relation to the Group’s obligations in respect of long-term employee benefits. Further details of the estimation used are described in the accounting policies.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

(e) Changes in accounting policies

The Group has adopted the following new and amended NZ IFRSs as of 1 July 2013:

NZ IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011) - the main change introduced by this standard is to revise the accounting for defined benefit plans. The new standard is required to be adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014.NZ IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities – This standard applies to entities that have an interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates or unconsolidated structured entities. The standard establishes disclosure objectives and specific minimum disclosures that an entity must provide to meet those objectives. An entity should disclose information that helps users of its financial statements evaluate the nature of and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. This standard is required to be adopted for the year ended 30 June 2014.

NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement – Classification and Measurement – the standard provides guidance on measure of fair value assets and liabilities. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for all assets or liabilities carried at fair value.

NZ IFRS 7 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments) - These were issued to enhance the transparency of disclosure requirements for the transfer of financial assets.

NZ IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements replaces NZ IAS 27 Consolidate and Separate Financial Statements. The standard’s objective is to have a single basis for consolidation for all entities regardless of the nature of the investee, and that basis is control. Control is defined in the standard and the standard provides guidance on how to apply the control principle in a number of situations. An investor would reassess whether it controls an investee if there is a change in facts and circumstances. This standard has been issued concurrently with NZ IFRS 11, NZ IFRS 12, NZ IAS 27 and NZ IAS 28.

Adoption of the above standards did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the group.

3/ Significant accounting policies

The following particular accounting policies, which materially affect the measurement of financial results and financial position, have been applied:

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The purchase method is used to prepare the consolidated financial statements, which involves adding together like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses on a line-by-line basis. All significant intergroup balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

(i) Subsidiaries

The Company consolidates as subsidiaries in the group financial statements all entities where the company has the capacity to control their financing and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the activities of the entity. This power exists where the parent company controls the majority voting power on the governing body or where such policies have been irreversibly predetermined by the parent company or where the determination of such policies is unable to materially impact the level of potential ownership benefits that arise from the activities of the subsidiary.

The company measures the cost of a business combination as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, in exchange for control of the subsidiary plus any costs directly.

Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognised as goodwill. If the company’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised exceeds the cost of the business combination, the difference will be recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less impairment in Buller Holdings Limited own “parent entity” financial statements.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment

(i) Recognition and measurement

Property, Plant and Equipment is recorded at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of items of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

When parts of an item of property, plant, and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

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

(ii) Subsequent costs

Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated over the depreciable amount, which is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.

Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Useful Lives Depreciation Rate

Buildings 14 -65 years 1% - 7%

Leasehold Improvements 10 - 15 years 6.5% - 15%

Plant & Equipment 2.5 - 25 years 4.0% - 40%

Office Equipment 2.5 - 16.67 years 6% - 40%

Computer Equipment 3 - 5.5 years 18% - 36%

Vehicles 3 - 12 years 8% - 29%

Land is not depreciated.

Capital work in progress is not depreciated. The total cost of a project is transferred to plant and equipment on its completion and then depreciated.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

(c) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the identified assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.

Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually for impairment.

(d) Inventories

Inventories held for sale on a commercial basis are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of the inventory is determined using the first in first out method.

The amount of write-down for the loss of service potential or from cost to net realisable value is recognised in the profit or loss in the period of the write-down.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED(e) Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Company and Group’s assets, other than deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(f) Employee Entitlements

(i) Defined contribution plan

The group contributes to a defined contribution plan which is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in the profit or loss in the period during which services are rendered to employees.

(ii) Long-term employee benefits

Provision is made in respect of the Group’s liability for annual, long service and retirement leave when it is probable that settlement will be required and if these liabilities are capable of being measured reliably.

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits (such as long service leave and retirement leave) is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bond yields that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognised in the profit or lossin the period in which they arise.

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations (such as payments for annual leave) are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

(g) Provisions

The Company and Group recognises a provision for future expenditure of uncertain amount or timing when there is a present obligation (either legal or constructive) as a result of past event, and it is probable that expenditures will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

(h) Revenue

(i) Goods sold

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.

(ii) Services and management fees

Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the profit and loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction as at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

(i) Leases

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised on the Group’s balance sheet. Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the profit or loss- on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(j) Finance Income and Expenses

Finance income comprises interest income, and dividend income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings and bank charges. All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method, unless they meet the capitalisation criteria under NZ IAS 23, Borrowing Costs.

(k) Taxation

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is calculated on the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right or offset the current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised, Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

(l) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at cost.

(m) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any provision for impairment.

A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company and Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted using the effective interest rate method.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

(n) Goods and Services Tax

All items in the financial statements are exclusive of goods and services tax (GST) with the exception of receivables and payables, which are stated with GST included. Where GST is irrecoverable as an input tax then it is recognised as part of the related asset or expense.

(o) Interest-Bearing Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

(p) Financial Instruments

The Company and Group is party to non-derivative financial instruments as part of its normal operations. These non-derivative financial instruments include bank accounts, short term deposits, loans, trade receivables, and trade creditors.

Financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost less any impairment losses.

The Company and Group do not have any derivative financial instruments.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(q) Financial Risk Management

The Board of directors have the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.

(i) Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial investment will fluctuate due to changes in interest rates.

The Group has exposure to interest rate risk in respect of its cash and short term deposits.

The interest on the short term deposits is fixed and the cash equivalents held by the Group are on demand.

(ii) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a third party will default on its obligation to the Group, causing the Group to incur loss. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Group to credit risk, consist of bank balances and accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is mainly in relation to the Buller District Council making up 43% of receivables, which is considered a high credit quality entity. The Group monitors the credit quality of the financial institutions it invests with and only invests in responsible financial institutions. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of its financial instruments are fair values as discussed in the note 18.

(iii) Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the foreign exchange rates.

The Group has no exposure to currency risk.

(iv) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk represents the Company’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity requirements on an ongoing basis. In general, the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and would have credit lines in place to cover potential shortfalls.

(r) Capital Management

The Company and Group’s capital includes share capital and retained earnings. The Company and Group do not have any exposure to external debt and is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company and Group policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain shareholder and creditor confidence and to sustain future development of the business.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

The Company and Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors. There have been no material changes in the Company and Group’s management of capital during the period.

(s) Standards or Interpretations Not Yet Effective

Outlined below are new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements but may be relevant in the future. These new standards will only be applied in the Company and Group’s financial statements from their effective date. None of these are expected to have a significant impact on the Group.

The following standards and interpretations are issued and are not yet effective for the year ended 30 June 2014and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements that are considered to be relevant in the future are:

NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments will eventually replace NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. NZ IAS 39 is being replaced through the following three main phases: Phase 1 Classification and Measurement, Phase 2 Impairment Methodology, and Phase 3 Hedge Accounting. Phase 1 has been completed and using the fair value model in accordance with NZ IAS 40 Investment Property. The amendment introduces 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 must be adopted for the year has been published in the new financial instrument standard NZ IFRS 9. NZ IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value, replacing the many different rules in NZ IAS 39. The approach in NZ IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial assets (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The financial liability requirements are the same as those of NZ IAS 39, except for when an entity elects to designate a financial liability at fair value through the surplus or deficit. The new standard is required to be adopted for the year ended 30 June 2016.

NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from contract with customers. The new standard is required to be adopted for the year ended 30 June 2018.

The amendments of these standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s operations.

Due to the change in the Accounting Standards Framework for public benefit entities, it is expected that all new NZ IFRS and amendments to existing NZ IFRS will not be applicable to public benefit entities. Therefore, the XRB has effectively frozen the financial reporting requirements for public benefit entities up until the new Accounting Standard Framework is effective. Accordingly, no disclosure has been made about new or amended NZ IFRS that exclude public benefit entities from their scope.

Carrying Amount

Based on the above the Parent and Group believes that there is no need for an impairment allowance on trade receivables. The expected recovery amount is the carrying value.

The Parent and Group also believes that there is no allowance necessary for impairment on held to maturity financial instruments (held in the form of term investments); the expected recovery amount is the carrying value.

The Company and Group is party to financial instruments as part of its everyday operations. These include instruments suchas cash and cash equivalents and receivables (classified as loans and receivables), and payables and loans (classified asfinancial liabilities at amortised cost).

The carrying values of financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at thereporting date was:

The Group's most significant credit risk exposure is with the Buller District Council which is considered a high credit qualityentity.
