Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2020

9

The financial report covers Bathurst RSL Club Limited as an individual entity. Bathurst RSL Club Limited is an unlisted, public company limited by guarantee, incorporated in Australia.

Note 1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Impact of COVID-19 and temporary Club closure

The Club was forced to temporarily close at 12pm on Monday 23 March 2020 by order of the Federal Government in line with the stage one restrictions of a lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Although the Club itself was closed, The Grind coffee shop has remained open for takeaway and the Club is continually reviewing the situation which is changing on a daily basis. The commercial investment property located at 106 Rankin Street was also forced to temporarily close on 23 March 2020.

The Club is currently in the process of assessing and implementing their business continuity plan along with availing any government offered support available to them. Future cash flow forecasts are also being revisited to assess the ability of the Club to sustain future activity and cashflows from normal operations, however management is confident that the Club can adapt to the changing environment as necessary and is confident the going concern basis remains appropriate at 31 March 2020.

(b) Revenue and other income

Revenue from contracts with customers

The core principle of AASB 15 is that revenue is recognised on a basis that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognised by applying a five-step model as follows:

1. Identify the contract with customers

2. Identify the performance obligations

3, Determine the transaction price

4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations

5. Recognise revenue as and when control of the performance obligations is transferred

Gaming Revenue

Gaming machine revenue is recognised on an accrual basis calculated as net of gaming machine collections and payouts, less any costs associated with future jackpot contributions.

Sale of Goods - Beverage and Catering

Revenue is recognised on transfer of goods to the customer as this is deemed to be the point in time where the performance obligations have been met and transfer of control have been completed. Revenue is recognised net of any discounts given to members/patrons.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(b) Revenue and other income

10

Rental Income

Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over a period of the lease term so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment.

Subscriptions

Revenue from the provision of membership subscriptions is recognised on a straight-line basis over the financial year. Promotions

Promotions income is recognised at the point of sale in relation to ticketed events as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership.

(c) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

(d) Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Receivables and payable are stated inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows in the statement of cash flows are included on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is classified as operating cash flows.

(e) 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 the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

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 the end of the reporting year. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2020

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(e) Income Tax

11

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.

Non-member income of the association is only assessable for tax, as member income is excluded under the principle of mutuality.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and short-term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first-in-first-out basis and is net of any rebates and discounts received.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the costs necessary to make the sale. Net realisable value is estimated using the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date and inventory is written down through an obsolescence provision if necessary.

(h) Property, plant and equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Under the cost model, the asset is carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.

Land and buildings

Land and buildings are measured on a cost basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses for buildings.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the asset.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life to the Company, commencing when the asset is ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:

Fixed asset class Depreciation rate

Buildings 20 years

Building improvements 5-15 years

Plant and Equipment 2-5 years

At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.

During the year, the Club has reassessed the useful life of specific items recorded in the Buildings asset category. Certain items previously recorded as Buildings have now been reclassified as Building improvements with effect 1 April 2019 to more accurately reflect their useful life.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(h) Property, plant and equipment

12

The Club has also re-assessed and increased the useful life of specific items in the Buildings asset category with the effect of 1 April 2019. This has resulted in an overall decrease in the rate of depreciation for these assets during the year to 31 March 2020.

(i) Investment property

Investment property is held to generate long-term rental yields and/or for capital appreciation. All tenant leases are on an arm's length basis. Investment property is carried at fair value determined by the current market values. Changes to fair value are recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and as other income/expenses.

(j) Trade and other payables

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

(k) Leases

For comparative year

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income as an integral part of the total lease expense and spread over the lease term.

For current year

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a lease exists - i.e. does the contract convey the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

This involves an assessment of whether:

• The contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be explicitly or implicitly identified within the agreement. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right then there is no identified asset.

• The Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of use.

• The Company has the right to direct the use of the asset i.e. decision making rights in relation to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used.

Lessee accounting

The non-lease components included in the lease agreement have been separated and are recognised as an expense as incurred.

At the lease commencement, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and associated lease liability for the lease term. The lease term includes extension periods where the Company believes it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model where cost on initial recognition comprises of the lease liability, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments, estimated cost of removal and restoration less any lease incentives received.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2020

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(k) Leases

13

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the lease term on a straight line basis and assessed for impairment in accordance with the impairment of assets accounting policy.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The discount rate is the rate implicit in the lease, however where this cannot be readily determined then the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The lease liability is remeasured whether there is a lease modification, change in estimate of the lease term or index upon which the lease payments are based (e.g. CPI) or a change in the Company's assessment of lease term.

Where the lease liability is remeasured, the right-of-use asset is adjusted to reflect the remeasurement or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Exceptions to lease accounting

The Company has elected to apply the exceptions to lease accounting for both short-term leases (i.e. leases with a term of less than or equal to 12 months) and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(l) Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised initially on the date that the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial assets

All recognised financial assets are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.

Classification

On initial recognition, the Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories, those measured at:

• amortised cost; and

• fair value through profit or loss - FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Amortised cost

Assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets where:

• the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

• the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company's financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.

(l) Financial instruments

Financial assets

Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment.

Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets through profit or loss

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at FVTPL.

Impairment of financial assets

Impairment of financial assets is recognised on an expected credit loss (ECL) basis for the following assets:

• financial assets measured at amortised cost

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial assets has increased significant since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward looking information.

The Company uses the presumption that an asset which is more than 30 days past due has seen a significant increase in credit risk.

The Company uses the presumption that a financial asset is in default when:

• the other party is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse to the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or

• the financial assets is more than 90 days past due.

Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows expected to be received. This is applied using a probability weighted approach.

Trade receivables

Impairment of trade receivables have been determined using the simplified approach in AASB 9 which uses an estimation of lifetime expected credit losses. The Company has determined the probability of non-payment of the receivable and multiplied this by the amount of the expected loss arising from default.

The amount of the impairment is recorded in a separate allowance account with the loss being recognised in finance expense. Once the receivable is determined to be uncollectable then the gross carrying amount is written off against the associated allowance.

Where the Company renegotiates the terms of trade receivables due from certain customers, the new expected cash flows are discounted at the original effective interest rate and any resulting difference to the carrying value is recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial assets measured at amortised cost

Impairment of other financial assets measured at amortised cost are determined using the expected credit loss model in AASB 9. On initial recognition of the asset, an estimate of the expected credit losses for the next 12 months is recognised. Where the asset has experienced significant increase in credit risk then the lifetime losses are estimated and recognised.

Financial liabilities

The Company measures all financial liabilities initially at fair value less transaction costs, subsequently financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

The financial liabilities of the Company comprise trade payables, bank and other loans and finance lease liabilities.

(m) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting year, the Club 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. Value in use is either the discounted cash flows relating to the asset or depreciated replacement cost if the criteria in AASB 136 'Impairment of Assets' are met. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Club estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

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

(n) Intangible assets - poker machine entitlements

Poker machine entitlements are initially recorded at cost. Poker machine entitlements have indefinite life and are tested annually for impairment and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

(o) Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Company's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be wholly settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled.

Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Cashflows are discounted using market yields on high quality corporate bond rates incorporating bonds rated AAA or AA by credit agencies, with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss.

(p) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

The Club has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2019.

• AASB 16 Leases; and

• AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities

AASB 16 Leases

In the current year, the Club has applied AASB 16 Leases and the related consequential amendments to other Accounting Standards that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2019.

AASB 16 introduces a single lease accounting model that eliminates the requirements for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases.

AASB 16 will cause the majority of leases of an entity to be brought onto the statement of financial position.

There are limited exceptions relating to short-term leases and low value assets which may remain off-balance sheet. The calculation of the lease liability will take into account appropriate discount rates, assumptions about lease term and increases in lease payments. A corresponding right-of-use asset will be recognised which will be amortised over the term of the lease. Rent expense will no longer be shown, the profit and loss impact of the leases will be through amortisation and interest charges.

The Directors reviewed and assessed that the application of AASB 16 has no material impact on the financial position and/or performance of the Club.

AASB 1058 Income of Not for Profit Entities

In the current year, the Club has applied AASB 1058 Income of Not for Profit Entities which is effective for an annual period that begins on or after 1 January 2019. AASB 1058 supersedes all the income recognition requirements relating to private sector NFP entities, and the majority of income recognition requirements relating to public sector NFP entities, previously AASB 1004 Contribution. The timing of income recognition depends on whether such transaction gives rise to a liability or other performance obligation (a promise to transfer a good or service), or a contribution by owners, related to an asset (such as cash or another asset) received by an entity.

The Club's accounting policies for its revenue streams are disclosed in detail in Note 2(b). Apart from providing more extensive disclosure for the Club's revenue transactions, the application of AASB 1058 has not had a significant impact on the financial position and/or financial performance of the Club.

Note 3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The directors make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these financial statements regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.

These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.

The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below:

Key estimates - fair value of investment property

On 25 October 2018 the investment properties were independently valued by Global Valuation Services. The valuations were based on the market values and the critical assumptions adopted in determining the valuation included the location of the properties, the current market demand in the area and the recent sales data for similar properties.

The directors have made an assessment at the year end and have concluded the fair values relevant on 25 October 2018 are still appropriate at 31 March 2020. In particular, the directors have reassessed the fair values with consideration for the impact of COVID-19 on local property prices and the rental income derived during the year.

In the absence of further information the directors have determined any impact to be immaterial at 31 March 2020. The directors will continue to re-assess this estimate during the year to 31 March 2021 as the impact of COVID-19 and potential for material impairment becomes clearer.

Key estimates - impairment of intangible assets

The recoverable amount of intangible assets was assessed by reference to the intangibles value in use. Value in use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow projections over a 5 year period, with consideration for COVID-19 and its potential impact on future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on 6 months expected trading revenue in the year to 31 March 2021 and allow for sufficient headroom.

The cash flows are discounted using a rate of 15%. Management believes that any reasonable possible change in key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of intangible assets to exceed its recoverable amount. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are tested against a sensitivity model (+/ 5%).

Key estimates - useful life of the Club premises

During the year, the directors have reassessed the useful life of specific items recorded in the Buildings asset category. Certain items previously recorded as Buildings have now been reclassified as Building improvements with effect 1 April 2019 to more accurately reflect their useful life.

The directors have also re-assessed and increased the useful life of specific items in the Buildings asset category with the effect 1 April 2019. This has resulted in an overall decrease in the rate of depreciation for these assets during the year to 31 March 2020. As detailed in Note 24, the Club expects to return to normal operating conditions during the year to 31 March 2021 and will continue to derive economic benefit from the Club premises in the short to medium term.

A director's valuation is performed in periods where no independent valuers assessment is obtained, with no impairment noted.

The investment properties in Bathurst owned by the Club are listed as follows:

- 241 Russell Street; - 243 Russell Street; - 247 Russell Street; and - 106 Rankin Street.

On 25 October 2018 investment properties were independently valued by Global Valuation Services. The valuation resulted in a revaluation increment of $55,000 being recognised in prior year.

Investment properties have not been subject to independent valuation during the year to 31 March 2020.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Club in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Club, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

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

Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Club are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Club’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Club or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Club’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Club’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Club to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
