Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2013
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
UoN Services Limited {the Company) is a registered company limited by guarantee and is a controlled entity of the University of Newcastle.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The Company has its domicile in Australia. The principal place of business is:
Level 5, Shortland Building University of Newcastle University Drive Callaghan NSW 2308
The principal activities of the Company are to enhance the shared University experience and academic pursuits of the University community through the commercially responsible provision of facilities and services.
(a) Basis of preparation
The annual financial statements represent the aud ited general purpose financial statements of the Company. They have been prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001.
Additiona lly the statements have been prepared in accordance with the following statutory requirements:
• Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Cwth) (Financial Statement Guidelines)
• Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (NSW), the requirements of the Department of Education and other State/Australian Government legislative requirements.
The Company is a not-for-profit entity and these statements have been prepared on that basis. Some of the requirements for not-for-profit entities are inconsistent with the I FRS requirements.
Date of authorisation for issue
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the members of the Company on 31 March 2014.
Historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below:
Impairment of Investments and other financial assets - The Company assesses at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired as outl ined in note 1 (i).
Employee benefits- long service leave - the liability for long service leave is measured at the present va lue of the expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date as outlined in note 1 p (ii).
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment- depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated over the assets estimated useful lives as outlined in note 1 (1).

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(b) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
The Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company's activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as follows
(i) Trading income Food and beverage, and retail income are recognised as income in the year of receipt.
(ii) Contributions - Related Entities University Contribution to student services and capital expenditure are recognised at their fair value when the Company obtains control of the right to receive the contribution, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and it can be reliably measured.
(iii) Rental income Leasing contracts are recognised as income in the year they relate to, except to the extent that they relate to future periods. Such income is treated as income in advance in liabilities.
(iv) Interest Interest income is recognised as it accrues.
(v) Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
(c) Income Tax
The Company is exempt from income tax under subdivision 50-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
(d) Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases (note 23). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(e) Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for imp<;~irment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2013
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(f) Cash and cash equivalents
For statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities ofthree months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown with interest bearing liabilities in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
(g) Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days after end of month from the date of recognition.
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off. A provision for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivable are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.
(h) Inventories
Beverage, food and retail are stated at the lower of average cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(i) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal, if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.
Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.
U) Investments and other financial assets
The Company classifies its investments and other financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired . Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(j) Investments and other financial assets (continued)
(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. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the statement of financial position.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or are not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date.
Initial recognition and derecognition
Regular purchases and sales of investments and other financial assets are recognised on trade-date, being the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments and other financial assets carried are fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Investments and other financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments and other financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.
Subsequent measurement
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair va lue though profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments, are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are included in the Income Statement within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise.
Changes in the fair value of monetary security denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences related to changes in the amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of other monetary and on monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.
Fair value
The fair values of investments and other financial assets are based on quoted prices in an active market. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques, that maximise the use of relevant data. These include reference to the estimated price in an orderly transaction that would take place between market participants at the measurement date. Other valuation techniques used are the cost approach and the income approach based on the characteristics of the asset and the assumptions made by market participants.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
U) Investments and other financial assets (continued)
Impairment
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss) is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.
(k) Fair value measurement
The fair value of assets and liabilities must be measured for recognition and disclosure purposes.
The Company classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
The fair value of assets or liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date (level 1 ). The quoted market price used for assets held by the Company is the most representative of fair value in the circumstances within the bid-ask spread .
The fair value of assets or liabilities that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter-derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments (Level 2) are used for long-term debt instruments held. Other techniques that are not based on observable market data (Level 3) such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining assets and liabilities. The fair value of interest-rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the reporting date. The level in the fair value hierarchy shall be determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Fair value measurement of non-financial assets is based on the highest and best use of the asset. The Company considers market participants use of, or purchase price of the asset, to use it in a manner that would be highest and best use.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company for similar financial instruments.
(I) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Art works are not depreciated.
Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts , net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, is as follows:

(I) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
Motor vehicles 7 years
Plant and equipment 3- 10 years
Leasehold improvements 40 years
The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 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.
(m) Intangible Assets
(iJ Software
Expenditure on software, being software that is not an integral part of the related hardware, is capitalised. Capitalised expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the period of the expected benefit, to a maximum of 5 years.
(n) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year, which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition occurred.
(o) Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and service warranties are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
(p) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits including wages and salaries, non-monetary benefits and profit-sharing bonuses are measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liability is settled, if it is expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period, and is recognised in other payables. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates payable.

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(p) Employee benefits (continued)
(ii) Other long-term obligations
The liability for other long-term employee benefits such as annual leave and long service leave is recognised in current provisions for employee benefits if it is not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the reporting period. It is measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Regardless of the expected timing of settlements, provisions made in respect of employee benefits are classified as a current liability, unless there is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, in which case it would be classified as a non-current liability.
(iii) Termination Benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts an offer of benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises termination benefits either when it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits or when it has recognised costs for restructuring within the scope of AASB137 that involves the payment of termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits not expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(q) Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses, assets and certain liabilities are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from , or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, ani presented as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingences are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
(r) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Certain new Accounting Standards and Interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2013 reporting periods. The company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:
• AASB 9 Financial instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AAB 9 (December 201 0), AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards- Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (effective 1 January 2015)

UON SERVICES LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2013
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(r) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted (continued)
AASB 9 amends the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets. The available-for-sale and held-to-maturity categories of financial assets in AASB 139 have been eliminated. Under AASB 9, there are three categories of financial assets:
1. Amortised cost 2. Fair value through profit or loss 3. Fair value through other comprehensive income.
The following requirements have generally been carried forward unchanged from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement into AASB 9:
• Classification and measurement of financial liabilities; and • Derecognition requirements for financial assets and liabilities.
However, AASB 9 requires that gains or losses on financial liabilities measured at fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk are recognised in other comprehensive income.
The company does not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. There will therefore be no impact on the financial statements when these amendments to AASB 9 are first adopted.
• Interpretation 21 Accounting for Levies (effective 1 January 2014)
Clarifies the circumstances under which a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government should be recognised, and whether that liability should be recognised in full at a specific date or progressively over a period of time.
The company is not liable to pay any government levies. There will therefore be no impact on the financial statements when this interpret~tion is first adopted.
(s) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The company has applied all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Boards ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting year. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the company.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the company:
• AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13
AASB 13 aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Australian Accounting Standards. No differences were found in the valuation approach of financial instruments and therefore no adjustments to any of the carrying amounts in the financial statements are required as a result of the adoption of AASB 13. New disclosure requirements under AASB 13 are contained within the financial statements.
• AASB 119 Employee Benefits and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119
The company has applied AASB 119 and its consequential amendments from 1 January 2013. The standard changed the definition of short-term employee benefits, from 'due to' to 'expected to' to be settled within 12 months. Annual leave that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months is now discounted allowing for expected salary levels in the future period when the leave is expected to be taken. New disclosure requirements under AASB 119 are contained within the financial statements.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk , fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. The Company uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and other price risks.
Risk management is carried out under direction by the Board of Directors. The Company has engaged the University of Newcastle's Treasury to administer, provide management services and engage expert consultants to maximise the returns on the Company's cash and other investments in accordance with the University's Investment Policy.
(a) Market risk
(i) Price risk
The Company does not have any investments in equity securities and as such is not exposed to price risk.
(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Company's main interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and held to maturity investments. At 31 December 2013, if interest rates had changed by ± 1% from the year end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been ± $49,282. (2012: ±$44, 761 ) .

27 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
(a) Fair value measurements
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value and based on credit history it is expected that the receivables that are neither past due nor impaired will be received when due.
The carrying amounts and aggregate net fair values of financial assets and liabilities at reporting date are:
Carrying amount Fair value
2013 2012 2013 $000 $000 $000

The Company categorises assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into a hierarchy based on the level of inputs used in measurement.
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
Level 3- inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
(i) Recognised fair value measurements
Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position are categorised into the following levels at 31 December 2013.

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
The Company's policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Disclosed fair values
The Company has a number of assets and liabilities which are not measured ·at fair value, but for which the fair values are disclosed in the notes.
The fair value of assets or liabilities traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date (level 1 ). This is the most representative of fair value in the circumstances.
The fair values of held-to-maturity investments are disclosed in note 13 were determined by reference to published price quotations in an active market (level1 ).
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables is a reasonable approximation of their fair values due to the short term nature of trade receivables.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
UoN Services Limited
To Members of the New South Wales Parliament and Members of UoN Services Limited
I have audited the accompanying financial statements of UoN Services Limited (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration.
Opinion
In my opinion the financial statements:
are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the year ended on that date
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001
are in accordance with section 41 B of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983 (the PF&A Act) and the Public Finance and Audit Regulation 2010.
My opinion should be read in conjunction with the rest of this report.
Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the PF&A Act and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
My responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those Standards require that I comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 Company'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 financia l statements.

I
I believe the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.
My opinion does not provide assurance:
about the future viability of the Company
that it has carried out its activities effectively, efficiently and economically
about the effectiveness of its internal control
about the security and controls over the electronic publication of the audited financial statements on any website where they may be presented
• about other information that may have been hyperlinked to/from the financial statements.
Independence
In conducting my audit, I have complied with the independence requirements of the Australian Auditing Standards, the Corporations Act 2001 and relevant ethical pronouncements. The PF&A Act further promotes independence by:
providing that only Parliament, and not the executive government, can remove an Auditor-General
mandating the Auditor-General as auditor of public sector agencies, but precluding the provision of non-audit services, thus ensuring the Auditor-General and the Audit Office of New South Wales are not compromised in their roles by the possibility of losing clients or income.
I confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, provided to the directors of the Company on 31 March 2014, would be in the same terms if provided to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
