PresideNt’s rePort

Dear Members

It is my pleasure to present to the members of the Wests Entertainment Group, the club’s annual report for the financial year ending 30 June 2012. This report is to be considered at the Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday 27 November at Wests in Phillip Street.

The year has again been a busy one for the board and management and certainly proved to be a year of challenges and opportunities. Club trading has again been very good and has produced a terrific result.

This year’s results again include a combined result from Wests and Diggers.

Our combined clubs recorded an operating profit before provisions and finance costs of $3.192 million, which is an outstanding result.

The combined club poker machine profits of $11.516 million were also pleasing. The Wests Entertainment Group had a net turnover of $20.137 million in the last financial year, a wages bill of $5.093 million, purchases of food and beverages of $2.576 million, repairs and maintenance of $390,899, poker machine and payroll tax of $2.652 million and payments made to members and guests as gaming prizes, amenities, entertainment and promotions of $31.743 million.

Over the past few years, the club industry has seen its fair share of changes including alcohol and licensing restrictions, non-smoking legislation, gaming machine restrictions, a global financial crisis and consumer confidence at a low level. With all that said, members would agree that the Wests group’s result is one to be proud of.

To Rod Laing and his management team and all the staff, whether it be food or beverage, cleaning or administration, on behalf of the board of directors, we say thank you for a magnificent effort.

I would also like to extend my congratulations to our CEO, Rod Laing on his achievements on receiving the Club Managers’ Association Australia Peter Cameron Award in recognition of his contribution to the CMAA and the club industry.

Most members by now would be well aware of the club’s car park upgrade. Works are well under way for a multi-level car park costing $2.5 million. This new car park will accommodate some 222 car spaces. It will not only improve member security, the car park will also pave the way for future developments of Wests’ master plan. These future developments will be discussed at our AGM but I can share with you that they will include extensions to the main clubhouse and a 40-room motel.

During the past 12 months, the board’s commitment in providing better club facilities continued. This included renovations to Blazes and the dressing rooms, new carpet at Wests, new curtains and new cocktail lounge chairs at Wests, upgrading of air-conditioning in Banjos and Legends bar at Wests and painting of the front façade at Wests. At Diggers, new tables and chairs were installed in Caesars Café.

The Wests Entertainment Group plays a major role in financially supporting your community. This year was no exception as we supported a total of 154 individuals, community groups and sporting bodies. We are firm believers of being involved in the community in which we do business.

To my fellow board members, thank you for the co-operation that you have extended to me throughout the year.

The board and I welcome your comments, suggestions or concerns. You may contact us by either mail or email. Our email address is [email protected]

Sadly, a year does not pass without the loss of someone near and dear to us. The club extends its deepest sympathy

to our members who have lost loved ones this year.

Finally, I would like to remind all members who want to stay up to date with the latest information regarding club promotions, entertainment or what’s happening in general including our building works, to log onto our website www.wtlc.com.au or pick up a copy of our members’ magazine, Wests Rewards. We rely on these two vehicles to communicate with you, the member.

In closing, I thank you for your support and patronage. It’s your loyalty that has seen our clubs continue to thrive and prosper. Remember it’s your club – we are owned by the community for the community.

I look forward to seeing you at the Annual General Meeting on November 27.

chief executive officer’s rePort

Dear members

On behalf of our board of directors, management and staff, I thank you for your continued patronage and loyalty to our clubs. As another financial year comes to an end, it is my pleasure to submit the 51st annual report and balance sheets for the year ended 2012.

Financially, the group has recorded an astounding result. An operating profit of $3.192 million before provisions and finance costs and a net profit of $1.364 million was realised this year.

This year, Wests’ trading has been outstanding, resulting in an operating profit of $2.655 million before provisions and finance costs, while Diggers has returned a profit of $536,820.

In early 2008, the Wests Entertainment Group implemented a growth strategy that focused on enhancing member loyalty and increasing our membership base.

Since then, this strategy has produced outstanding results year in, year out, a remarkable fact given all the challenges we’ve had to overcome.

Good and sustainable financial results come only from excellent execution and customer satisfaction. In the past I have mentioned how critical it is to have a switched-on management team. This team is the best that you will find anywhere in our industry.

My special thanks to Eileen Smyth and Michelle Bullock for their ongoing, behind-the-scenes support, and to the whole executive management team who have done themselves proud.

I would also like to thank all team members who have worked so hard to make us what we are today. From front of house to back of house and cleaning staff, I thank you for your passion, dedication and hard work.

This year saw the last ClubsNSW Awards for Excellence under the current format. Over the years, the Wests Entertainment Group has been honoured, winning many awards including Club of the Year in 2003. Although this year we did not receive a gong, we were acknowledged as highly commended in gaming. In the past, we have won this award three times. It acknowledges a club which has displayed the best presentation, service and responsible gaming practices of a club gaming venue.

We’ve long been recognised as one of the

industry’s responsible gaming leaders. A lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes with discussions, plans and ideas that may both assist and protect a problem gambler, including assistance connecting with a counsellor for help.

Our venues now offer voluntary pre-commitment in our gaming rooms. Our technical services manager, Geoff Shanley, is responsible for the implementation of measures to assist people with a gambling problem. Geoff deserves to be congratulated at the highest level on his outstanding achievements in this area.

I would also like to thank the Wests board, headed by president John McClelland, which has worked tirelessly throughout the past year.

We are now set for the next, and I believe most exciting, stage in the evolution of our organisation. The start of 2013 will see the completion of our new multi-storey car park and the next stages of redevelopment will realise extensions to Wests as well as a 40-room motel. Our future plans will be discussed in more detail at our AGM.

In closing, I’d like to thank you, our member, for your support of the Wests Entertainment Group.

We will continue to implement the strategy that has led to our success – hiring and encouraging the best people to deliver great service to the thousands of members who visit our two clubs.

We will continue to be innovative in technology and marketing to provide our members with more reasons to increase their loyalty.

We promise to maximise the strength of our brands, including our restaurants and cafes, to reinforce our position as the leading hospitality provider in the North West.

I look forward to seeing you at the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, November 27.

1. summary of significant accounting Policies

a. general information The financial statements are for West Tamworth League Club Limited as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. West Tamworth League Club Limited is a company limited by guarantee.

b. basis of preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

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

c. revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rate applicable to the financial assets.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

Donations are recognised at the time the pledge is made. Grants are recognised at their fair value when it is received.

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

d. Income taxes The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).

The Income Tax Act 1997 (as amended) provides that under the concept of member mutuality, clubs are only liable for income tax derived from non-members. Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

e. LeasesFinance leasesLeases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the company are classified as finance leases. In accordance with accounting standards, the gross lease liabilities have been discounted to net present value as the company has obtained a benefit from securing these leases on interest free terms. This discount has been recorded as revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. In future years the discount will unwind as the company pays the gross lease payments. This adjustment is included in finance costs in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and a liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

f. Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

g. InventoriesInventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

h. Property, plant and equipmentEach class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property Freehold land and buildings are shown at their cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount of plant and equipment for non-profit entities is the current replacement cost discounted to current asset condition.

Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset’s useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

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

Class of fixed asset Buildings and Improvements 1.0% Plant and Equipment 10.0 - 20.0% Furniture, Fixtures and Fittings 7.5 - 15.0% Poker Machines 27.0% Motor Vehicles 23.0% Office Equipment 10.0 - 30.0%

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

i. Intangible assets Poker Machine Entitlements The company, as a result of state legislation, received for no cost, poker machine entitlements for those machines it held at the time the legislation was enacted. These entitlements can be sold should the company decide to reduce or cease its poker machine activities. The company has not recorded these initial poker machine entitlements in the financial report as there was no fair value on acquisition of these entitlements.

The company has subsequently acquired a number of poker machine entitlements which were recognised at cost upon acquisition.

These poker machine entitlements have an indefinite life and as a result those acquired and capitalised since the legislation was enacted have not been amortised. Poker machine entitlements are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that might be impaired, and are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Software Software is recorded at cost. Software has a finite life and is carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. It has an estimated useful life of three years.

Amortisation Amortisation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value.

Amortisation is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

j. financial instruments Recognition and Initial Measurement Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention.

Financial instruments are initially measured at cost on trade date, which includes transaction costs, when the related contractual rights or obligations exist. Subsequent to initial recognition these instruments are measured as set out below.

Derecognition Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss.

Classification and subsequent measurement Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities are recognised at amortised cost, comprising original debt less principal payments and amortisation.

Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

k. Employee benefitsProvision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

WTLC AnnuAL RepoRT | 15

l. borrowing costs Borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

m. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the company 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.

n. goods and services Tax (gsT) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

o. Comparatives When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

p. Critical accounting estimates and judgments The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Key estimates - impairment of plant and equipment

The company assesses impairment at the end of the reporting year by evaluating conditions specific to the company that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Key estimates - useful lives of assetsThe company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

q. New accounting standards for application in future periodsThe AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The company has decided against early adoption of these standards as none of the changes are expected to have a material affect on the company.

18. financial instruments

Financial Risk Management Policies The company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, short-term investments, accounts receivable and payable and bank loans. The main purpose of those financial instruments is to raise finance for the company’s operations.

The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks to meet the company’s financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. The Board is focused on debt repayment and interest expense reduction as well as maintaining healthy cash reserves and borrowing capacity.

The company does not have any derivative instruments at 30 June 2012.

a. Treasury risk management The company director’s do not believe the company has any significant Treasury risks. Cash is only held in bank accounts or on hand for operational purposes. The director’s previously actively offset cash assets against loans to reduce interest paid. The company paid all its bank finance loans during the 2012 financial year. The company strategy is to avoid the use of long-term debt and maintain high levels of unused bank loan facilities.

b. Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

The profile of the club’s credit risk at 30 June 2012 was as follows:

2012

$

2011

$Percentage of sundry (unsecured) receivables

- Current 93.5% 25%

- Overdue 6.5 % 75%

Although the company has a portion of receivables past due, the company does not consider there to be sufficient risk of collection of these receivables to require a doubtful debts provision.

The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables.

c. foreign exchange risk The company is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies.

d. Liquidity risk The company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained. Further, the company maintains significant cash on hand and at bank to manage day to day operations.

e. Price risk The company is not exposed to any material commodity price risk.

f. Interest rate risk

Financial instrument composition and maturity analysis The company’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in the market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities, is calculated below.

The company fixes the interest rate on a significant portion of its debt’s (bank bills, lease and hire purchase). The remaining assets and liabilities are at floating interest rates.

The tables below reflect the undiscounted contractual settlement terms for financial instruments of a fixed period of maturity, as well as management’s expectations of the settlement period for all other financial instrument. As such the amounts may not reconcile to the balance sheet.

ii. sensitivity analysis Interest rate risk: The company has not performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date as the directors do not believe the sensitivity analysis is material.

19. Capital management

Management controls the capital of the company to ensure that adequate cash flows are generated to fund its operations and that returns from investments are maximised. The company’s capital consists of financial assets and liabilities. Management effectively managed the company’s capital by assessing the company’s financial risks and responding to changes in these risks. Responses may include the consideration of debt levels and maintaining adequate cash reserves. There has been no change in the capital management strategy of the company since the previous year.

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 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 are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

auDITor’s rEsPoNsIbILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we 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 financial statements.

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

INDEPENDENCE In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of West Tamworth League Club Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

auDITor’s oPINIoN In our opinion the financial report of West Tamworth League Club Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (a) giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and(b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Paul CornallPartner, forsyths127 Marius Street, Tamworth, NSW 234029 August 2012

The directors of the company declare that: 1. The financial statements and notes, as set out on pages 6 to 30, are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and: (a) comply with Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and (b) give a true and fair view of the financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of the performance for the year ended on that date of the company. 2. In the directors opinion, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.
