10 1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The financial report of The Essington School Darwin Ltd and its controlled entities for the year ended 31 December 2016 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 07 April The Essington School Darwin Ltd is a company limited by guarantee incorporated and domiciled in Australia. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Preparation The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting entity because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. The financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act The Company is a not-for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the mandatory Australian Accounting Standards applicable to entities reporting under the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 and the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. Such accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous period unless otherwise stated. This report has been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising The Essington School Darwin Limited (the parent company) and all entities that The Essington School Darwin Limited controlled from time to time during the year and at reporting date. Information from the financial statements of subsidiaries is included from the date the parent company obtains control until such time as control ceases. Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting period during which the parent company has control. Subsidiary acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs cannot be recovered. (c) Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the consolidated entity. (d) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but that are not yet effective have not been adopted by the Company at 31 December 2016, and are not likely to have a material impact in the future. 10

11 (e) Property, Plant and Equipment Cost Property, plant, equipment and motor vehicles are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on a straight line and diminishing value basis on all property, plant and equipment at rates calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of the assets against revenue over their estimated useful lives to the economic entity. Major depreciation periods are: Freehold buildings 10 to 40 years 10 to 40 years - Plant & equipment 3 to 30 years 3 to 30 years - Furniture & Fittings 3 to 10 years 3 to 10 years - Motor Vehicles 4 to 6 years 4 to 6 years - Library Books 3 years 3 years Impairment The carrying values of property, plant & equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Capitalisation threshold All fixed assets with a cost greater than $5,000 are capitalised. (f) Leases Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership. Operating Leases The minimum lease payments of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased items, are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term. Finance Leases Leases which effectively transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item to the company are capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and disclosed as property, plant and equipment. A lease liability of equal value is also recognised. Capitalised assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets and the lease term. Minimum lease payments allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability, with the interest expense calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and recognized directly in net profit. (g) Income Tax The company is exempt from paying income tax. However, some of the company s controlled entities are considered to be taxable. (h) Cash and Cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call-with bank, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 11

12 (i) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for impairment is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. Receivables from related parties are recognised and carried at the nominal amount due. (j) Goods and Services Tax Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except: i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables. (k) Financial Instruments Recognition Financial assets and liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value. In the case of assets not at fair value through profit and loss, directly attributable transaction costs are taken into account. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flow from the financial assets expire or the asset is transferred to another entity. In the case of transfer to another entity, it is necessary that the risks and rewards of ownership are also transferred. Financial assets Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at amortised cost or available-for-sale financial assets. Financial Assets at amortised cost Trade and other receivables, which generally have 30 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for impairment. Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts that are known to be uncollectable are written off when identified. An impairment provision is recognised when there is objective evidence that the Corporation will not be able to collect the receivable. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets, principally equity securities that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as any of the other three categories of financial assets. After initial recognition, available-for sale financial assets which do not have a quoted market price and where fair value cannot be reliably measured are recorded at cost. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss or other financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities, including payables and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of any transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. Impairment Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each balance date. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred for financial assets held at amortised cost or available-for-sale financial assets, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced by way of an allowance account. The loss is recognised in profit or loss. 12

13 (l) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Grant funding When grant revenue is received whereby the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue is recognised in the statement of financial position as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt. Tuition fees Fees are recognised upon provision of tuition services in the year in which those services relate. Childcare fees Childcare fees and Childcare Benefit Rebates are recognised upon provision of childcare services in the year in which those services relate. Donations Recognised upon receipt of the donations. (m) Intangibles Software Computer software is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets estimated useful life of 5 years. (n) Economic Dependency The future operations of the company are dependent upon the continuation of adequate funding from the Commonwealth and Northern Territory Governments in respect of operational and capital grants. (o) Employee Entitlements The contributions made to superannuation funds are charged against profits when due. Contributions are paid to HESTA, AMP, Australian Super and other superannuation funds, all of which are accumulation funds. The amount paid for the year was $1,319,101 (2015: $1,417,645). Liabilities for employees entitlements to wages and salaries, annual leave and other current employee entitlements are accrued at normal amounts calculated on the basis of current wage and salary rates. Liabilities for other employee entitlements, which are not expected to be paid or settled within 12 months of balance date, are accrued in respect of all employees at the present value of future amounts expected to be paid based on a projected weighted average increase in wage and salary rates. Present values are calculated using discount rates based on corporate bonds with similar maturity terms. (p) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (q) Trade and other Payables Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. (r) Interest-bearing loans and borrowings All loans and borrowings are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised. 13

26 Auditor s Independence Declaration To the Directors of The Essington School Darwin Limited In relation to our audit of the financial statements of The Essington School Darwin Limited for the year ended 31 December 2016, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been: a. No contraventions of the auditor independence requirements of section of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012; and b. No contraventions of any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit. Merit Partners Matthew Kennon Partner Darwin Date: 7 April

27 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR S REPORT To the members of The Essington School Darwin Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the special purpose financial report of The Essington School Darwin Limited ( the Company ), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year s end or from time to time during the financial year. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of The Essington School Darwin Limited is in accordance with Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012, including: a) giving a true and fair view of The Essington School Darwin Limited and the consolidated entity s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of their financial performance for the year ended; and b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and Division 60 of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Regulation Basis for opinion 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 Company in accordance with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012 (ACNC Act) 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter - Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling the directors financial reporting responsibilities under the ACNC Act. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Directors Responsibilities for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission Act 2012, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 27

28 In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company 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 Company or to cease operations, or has 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 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 company 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 Company 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 Company 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 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.
