NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
2. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Navy Canteens exists to support Navy people and benefit the Navy family. The Business is defined as a Corporate Commonwealth Entity under the Public Governance Performance and Accountability Act 2013 and is governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the Chief of Navy. The Chief of Navy has issued me with a personal Directive and expects the Board to generate profit from commercial undertakings in order to return that profit to serving Navy personnel through distributions, grants and services. Most notably the distributions and grants provided by Navy Canteens sustain the Navy’s Relief Trust Fund and Navy Sport. The services provided by Navy Canteens include canteen services on Navy establishments, as well as the very popular Navy Canteens Ticketing agency and discounted holiday accommodation opportunities at BIG4 Bungalow Park on Burrill Lake (NSW), Amblin Holiday Park (WA), Forster Holiday Village (NSW) and a holiday apartment near Tweed Heads (NSW). To achieve its objectives Navy Canteens
maintains a close collaborative relationship with Navy to ensure profit is generated and proceeds directed to where they are needed most.
I commenced as a Director in July 2016 and subsequently Chair in December 2016, taking over from Commodore Ian Murray who served on the board for a period of nine years, the last three as chair. As part of a broader succession plan, three other new Directors and the longstanding CFO changed during the financial year. Navy Canteens is a complex business which has grown into a medium level enterprise over the past three years with an asset base of $18M, over 150 employees and a $16M annual turnover. This rapid expansion has challenged the organisation but a strong, Board led execution of a long term strategy is in place to guide the change.
Operations continue to evolve. Adjustments to the operating model has seen closure of the Larrakeyah Café (NT) and Flight Deck Café (NSW) with an increased footprint at HMAS Coonawarra and a vending solution implemented at the Heritage Centre (NSW) for weekend trade and the Fleet Air Arm Museum (NSW). A new supply chain and point of sale system are being rolled out and this will provide efficiencies of scale for purchasing and increased stock control. Notable progress has continued in providing support to ships and Navy people at sea through contracted services and support facilitated by Navy Canteens. Performance highlights include increased profitability from Holiday Parks and the Win with Navy Raffle which was unfortunately offset by a poor performance in the Canteens Group. In keeping with the RANCCB vision of “Benefitting the Navy Family”, annual grants totalling $327K have been provided comprising: $123K to the RAN Relief trust Fund, $170K to the Navy Sports Council, $24K in general grants and $10K to NUSHIPS (commissioning warships). In addition to the $327K annual grants, the RANCCB contributed $50K towards the construction of a hard stand at HMAS Coonawarra directly benefitting personnel at this base. At the conclusion of the 2017 Financial Year, Navy Canteens delivered a deficit of $468K (which includes disbursement to Navy of $327K) and has approximately $18M in assets.

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
3.1.3 ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABLE DEvELOPMENT
This report is made in accordance with s516A(6)(a) of the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The activities of the RANCCB are not directly relevant to ecological sustainable development in terms of the principles identified in the Act. However, the organisation has historically taken a number of steps to reduce energy consumption, waste production and water consumption. Specific examples are the introduction of power saving lights and water saving devices attached to outlets, as well as the introduction of recycling at our Holiday Centres with co-mingle recycling bins and solar heat pumps for amenity blocks. BIG4 Bungalow Park has previously been awarded a Silver Gumnut Award by the Caravan and Camping Association for substantial environmental protection actions introduced. Amblin Holiday Park in Western Australia also received a Busselton Waterwise Business of Action certificate following a significant year on year water usage reduction.
3.1.4 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
There were nil applications for information received in the reporting period. Details on the RANCCB’s organisational structure, change of directorships and a list of documents available for inspection has been lodged with the relevant department. Access to information under the Freedom of Information Act can be secured by writing to the CEO, CP3-1-132, Campbell Park Offices, Canberra ACT 2600.
3.1.5 JUDICIAL DECISIONS OR EXTERNAL REPORTS
The RANCCB was not subject to any parliamentary, judicial, administrative tribunal, Ombudsman or other external investigations or reports in the reporting year besides the report on financial operations.
3.2 PRINCIPAL ACTIvITIES
The principal activities of the Board are to operate profitable and sustainable businesses in order to provide welfare and lifestyle related benefits and services to Navy members.
As part of its strategic plan, and as agreed by Chief of Navy, the RANCCB operates canteen services on all Navy establishments, excluding HMAS Harman in Canberra and HMAS Moreton in Brisbane. This activity applies standardised business practices, policies and strategies to ensure more efficient, productive and profitable canteen services to meet the increasing member demands for welfare, lifestyle, sport and recreational support.

a. Holiday Centres – Accommodation and amenities are provided at BIG4 Bungalow Park on Burrill Lake (NSW), Amblin Holiday Park in Busselton (WA), Forster Holiday Village in Forster (NSW) and a serviced holiday apartment at Pandanus Pocket in Tweed Heads (NSW).

3.2.2 REvIEW OF OPERATIONS, OPERATIONAL DEvELOPMENTS, FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS
OvERvIEW
Consolidation of canteen operations continued to be a focus during the 2017 financial year. The RANCCB continues to strengthen its operational capability in the core areas of governance, performance management and procedural rigour.
The RANCCB routinely reviews the execution of its strategy. Its key operating assets, products and services are being managed to provide support to Navy in the form of consistent and sustainable benefits throughout the financial year. The directors, executive, managers and staff of the RANCCB are dedicated to providing innovative, tangible and valued benefits to Navy members and the wider Navy family.
The RANCCB remains in a sound fiscal position, however the 2017 financial year presented a number of challenges for the organisation which have collectively resulted in an operational loss. This result is largely attributable to the maintenance of distributions to Navy, increased investment in training of personnel and losses at a small number of shore canteen businesses. Canteen performance up to 30 June 2017 has been reviewed by the Board with ongoing adjustment to certain operations in order to reduce costs and grow the profitability of the canteen group.
The full RANCCB portfolio of businesses delivered a year of mixed but noteworthy performance with our own source revenue totalling $16.5M ($2016: $17.4M). A trading deficit of $468K (which includes disbursements to Navy of $327K) (2016 deficit $458K) excluding revaluation adjustments was incurred.
The following graph is a representation of the surplus/(deficit) declared by the RANCCB since 30 June 2013:

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
WIN WITH NAvY RAFFLE
The rebuilding of Win with Navy Raffle participation and revenue using the Direct Debit system continues. This change was necessary in early 2015 due to the discontinuation of allotments from the ADF Pay System to the Win with Navy Raffle. FY 2017 is the second full year of trading since this change. In FY 2017 revenue of $799K was achieved (2016: $678K). Profit for the Raffle increased from $218K in FY 2016 to $439K in FY 2017. Building participation levels continues to be a management focus. Continued communication with Navy members and multiple cash prizes on offer has supported the continued growth.
HOLIDAY CENTRES
Navy Canteens Holiday Centres continue to be a valued part of the Enterprise which offset losses from the canteen group. All properties are continually improved to provide a quality holiday experience. Ensuring each property is relevant to contemporary offerings requires upgrades to existing amenities, introduction of new amenities, innovative alternate camping facilities and remodelling of landscapes and vistas to capture new clientele and retain the existing base remain critical to the business. In FY 2017 there was again significant investment to improve the quality of the infrastructure including underground water pipes, a new pool liner and new pool roof at Amblin Holiday Park, shade sails and room overhauls at Forster Holiday Village.
New management commenced at BIG4 Bungalow Park on Burrill Lake following the retirement of long term management couple Steve and Judy Clarke in October 2016.
All properties achieved higher revenues than the previous financial year. Individual business performances were a net surplus of $439K for BIG4 Bungalow Park on Burrill Lake (2016: net surplus of $229K); a net surplus of $272K for Amblin Holiday Park (2016: net surplus of $158K); a net loss of $8K for Forster Holiday Village (2016: net surplus of $8K) and a net surplus of $10K for Pandanus Pocket (2016: net surplus of $1K). The Forster Holiday Village result was due to increased infrastructure maintenance in the second half of the year.
NAvY CANTEENS TICKETING
Navy Canteens Ticketing is located in Defence Plaza, Pitt Street, Sydney (NSW). Navy Canteens Ticketing provides discounted tickets (as well as preferential seating and free tickets when possible) sourced from on-sellers such as Ticketek, Ticketmaster and other event co-ordinators and venues. Navy Canteens Ticketing has remained very popular. In 2017 Navy Canteens Ticketing experienced a drop in ticket sales from $984K in FY 2016 to $440K in FY 2017. Ticket discounts totalling $367K (2016: $427K) were achieved for Navy, other Defence and APS personnel. In all, a total of 8,978 tickets (2016: 11,980 tickets) were sold during the 2017 financial year. Fewer tickets for concerts have been procured due to difficulties with promoters. Greater communication within Navy and Defence is required as there has been an increasing change in recent years of contact points on bases within Defence. Navy Canteens ticketing is targeting an increase in social media communications which should increase utilisation of this service.
Navy Canteens Ticketing is provided as a service benefit that recognises the limitations deployed personnel face when it comes to acquiring tickets to popular shows. Where possible, Navy Canteens Ticketing assesses demand and purchases tickets for offer to deployed personnel and receives many acknowledgements every year for this service. However, this service benefit is provided at a cost. Navy Canteens Ticketing generated a net loss in 2017 of $102K (2016: loss of $111K).

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
SALT
Navy Canteens’ online merchandise business, SALT, is managed by Brandnet Pty Ltd, located in Fyshwick (ACT). SALT returned a net surplus of $13K for the financial year (2016: $28K), which was above budgeted profitability of $10K. Higher manufacturing and import costs continue to put pressure on margins. The SALT business relies on competitive pricing and quality product.
The focus for additional revenue generation remains capturing the business of Navy in addition to selling to the general public and individual Navy members and their families. Merchandise sales through canteens on naval establishments vary, largely dependent upon the size of the canteen and base population. Canteen merchandise sales are recorded as canteen revenue and are not reflected in the on-line merchandise business revenue. During FY 2017 $179K was recorded by canteens for merchandise sales.
The Fleet Air Arm Museum Shop in Nowra, which sells SALT merchandise, performed below budget for both revenue and profit. Revenue for the year of $130K was below both budget ($150K) and the previous year ($144K). The shop incurred a small loss of $64 against a budgeted surplus of $14K and last year’s surplus of $10K. The closure of Flight Deck Café and less foot traffic into the Museum negatively impacted revenue.
NAvY SHORE BASED CANTEENS
The canteens business of the RANCCB remains the primary management focus to ensure delivery of a quality service to Navy, whilst managing the impact on profitability from labour costs, the challenges of remote locations, development of the supply chain, a limited customer base and working within Defence establishments.
In FY 2017 the aim has again been to stabilise all canteen operations, learn from practical operational experience and focus on improving profitability. There has been a continued investment in training and professionalisation of the Navy Canteens workforce to formally recognise and develop skills, to ensure a standardised level of service and product is delivered, and to improve workforce stability and retention.

In April 2017 the Board approved both a new point of sales system and a new supply chain which is being implemented in FY 2018. This is anticipated to result in a leaner supply chain, reduced cost of goods sold and added operational transparency.
Individual canteen results (by base) for the 2017 financial year (including 2016 comparative data) were as follows:

Overall, small canteen operations in Sydney remain very profitable. The struggle remains with large bases close to external options and management of peaks and troughs throughout the day. Changes in base populations also impact revenue and HMAS Cerberus is a good example where lower recruit/training numbers have manifested in lower canteen revenue. The ebb and flow of contractors on bases also impacts the canteens.
Following a board review of operations during FY 2017 a number of sites were considered for closure with some adjustments to operations implemented. Flight Deck Café and Heritage Centre in NSW, both with large historical losses, had adjustments made. Weekend trade at Heritage Centre was halted and a vending offer established in its place. At Flight Deck Café (within FAAAM), daily trade was ceased and a vending offer established to meet the needs of individuals. Group and event catering are still provided at Flight Deck Café on a demand basis.
Adjustments were made to trading hours for Larrakeyah Café in NT but the Café was subsequently closed due to continued poor profitability. Operations on the waterfront at HMAS Coonawarra were enhanced in June 2017.

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Canteen operations at HMAS Creswell (Jervis Bay, ACT) and HMAS Penguin (Balmoral, NSW) are provided at a cost to Navy Canteens to support Navy personnel in a remote location. This service is being subsidised by other profitable Navy Canteen operations.
Coffee continues to be a key driver for canteen sales. Quality and service are being constantly monitored. The working partnership with Grinders (a business unit of Coca Cola Amatil) has continued focussed barista training nationally and supply to canteens of both coffee bean and equipment.
3.2.3 CAPITAL INvESTMENT
The Board has continued its capital investment program in the holiday centres. This focus has helped to mitigate the risk of declining revenue within a soft domestic tourism and accommodation sector.
The Board’s approval in the 2014 financial year of the new canteen group in Sydney and Darwin resulted in a very large capital investment in plant and equipment that continues to generate significant depreciation charges.
3.2.4 DISBURSEMENTS
The key purpose of the endeavours of the RANCCB is to support Navy people through various activities such as funding the RAN Relief Trust Fund (RANRTF), sponsoring Navy sport, providing grants, as well as supporting other lifestyle and entertainment activities. The overall financial performance in FY 2017 restricted the ability of the RANCCB to disburse cash for these purposes during the financial year. However, a total of $327K was disbursed. $123K was paid to the RANRTF, $170K to Navy Sports Council, $24K in general grants, and $10K to NUSHIPs (commissioning warships). A further $50K was provided to HMAS Coonawarra to facilitate construction of the new hardstand providing a sheltered general use on base facility outside the Navy Canteens operation. The total cash disbursements for the year, compared to previous years, are as follows:

3.2.5 LOANS
The RANCCB issued loans of $35K during FY 2017 (2016: $15K) to various ships and establishments to assist in the provision of recreational activities and amenities to sailors.
3.3 SIGNIFICANT EvENTS
The strategic focus over the last three financial years has been on improving the performance of existing business units of the RANCCB and completing the goal of establishing profitable canteens on Navy establishments. There have been no significant events during FY 2017, with the focus being upon stabilising the canteen group to attain sustainable profitability.
3.4 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
During the past twelve months, the RANCCB has experienced significant change with a change of Chair in December 2016, the succession of three Directors and the change of CFO in March 2017. This change is actively managed through longer term Directors providing additional assistance as new Directors gain experience. This risk has been actively managed through a deliberate succession plan going forward.
The greatest risk remains around our Navy Canteens workforce which is being actively managed through education and strengthened governance frameworks. An independent chair of the Risk Compliance and Audit Committee has provided additional oversight to the management of risk.
3.5 EFFECTS OF MINISTERIAL DIRECTIONS
There were no directions received, nor any notification of general policies of the Commonwealth Government to be applied to the authority, by the responsible Minister.
3.6 STATEMENT ON GOvERNANCE
This statement provides an outline of the key corporate governance practices of the RANCCB throughout FY 2017.
The Board directs a number of committees to assist in the execution of its responsibilities. They are the Risk Compliance and Audit Committee, the Grants Committee and the Remuneration Committee. These committees reflect the Board’s commitment to ensuring business activities are correctly governed.
All committees have specific charters providing a robust management framework including a set of internal controls to assist with assessments of risk and complying with reporting requirements.
The Board convened eight scheduled meetings during FY 2017 and, where necessary, approved via email, or other means, correspondence ‘out of session’ where a more immediate response was required. At each meeting the Board reviewed monthly and year to date financial results, Work Health and Safety reports, key performance indicators, approved budgets and capital expenditure requests, and reviewed policies.

This committee of three RANCCB Directors is assisted by Ms Katrina Pawley (National Marketing Manager) who collates grant requests and attends to administrative matters.
3.9 REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Remuneration Committee’s role is to make an annual recommendation on the remuneration of the CEO and direct reports to the CEO, as well as review compliance with relevant employment legislation. The Chair of the Committee to December 2016 was CDRE Ian Murray, RAN after which CDRE Michael Miko RAN assumed the Chair. This committee of two RANCCB Directors is assisted by the CEO.
3.10 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Directors, Executive management and staff are expected to comply with the Conflict of Interest policy and declare any potential conflict according to the policy at the start of each Board and/or Committee meeting.

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
4.6 ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE
Factors that have contributed to the entity’s performance in achieving its purposes that have had a significant impact in the reporting period include:
Canteen operations on Naval establishments – Canteen trading is still being stabilised. Influencing factors include rationalisation of menus, staffing (including full time equivalents), supply chain management and base relationships to better understand customer demand. The positive performance at many canteen sites have been offset by trading losses elsewhere within the canteen group which has negatively impacted overall canteen group performance.
Other services to Navy – Supply to ship canteens continued to grow during FY 2017, with initiatives being taken to improve the supply chain and grow internal awareness within Navy to ensure continued growth of these new services.
Navy Merchandise – Competitor pricing remains a challenge for securing SALT orders within Navy. Some quality issues have also been identified and are being addressed.
Holiday Centres – The Holiday Centres delivered a good performance during FY 2017.
Win with Navy Raffle – Continued growth in participation has been achieved during FY 2017. The direct debit payment model for participants requires significant effort.
Navy Canteens Ticketing – Whilst delivering a creditable outcome, Navy Canteens Ticketing did not meet the ticketing target set for FY 2017. This outcome is attributable in part to the availability of reduced price tickets to shows, negotiations required to secure concert tickets from promoters and difficulties experienced in points of contacts on military bases for dissemination of offers. Targeting better use of social media to increase the utilisation of this service.
Total Navy Grants – The payment of grants as an expenditure item, rather than from profits, has impacted the end of year result. However, the Board considered that payments to Navy were important to maintain support of Navy welfare and recreational activities that are not able to be provided from Commonwealth funds. Distributions to shore establishments were suspended for FY 2017. The Enterprise remains in a sound financial position and able to sustain the loss incurred as a result of grant payments in FY 2017.

To the Minister for Defence Personnel
Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board for the year ended 30 June 2017:
(a) comply with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Financial Reporting) Rule 2015; and
(b) present fairly the financial position of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board as at 30 June 2017 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
The financial statements of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board, which I have audited, comprisethe following statements as at 30 June 2017 and for the year then ended:
• Statement by the Accountable Authorities, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer;• Statement of Comprehensive Income;• Statement of Financial Position;• Statement of Changes in Equity;• Cash Flow Statement; and• Notes to the financial statements and other explanatory information.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with the Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Australian Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements for financial statement audits conducted by the Auditor-General and his delegates. These include the relevant independence requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants to the extent that they are not in conflict with the Auditor-General Act 1997 (the Code). I have also fulfilled my other responsibilities in accordance with the Code. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Other Information
The Accountable Authority is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2017 but does not include the financial statements and my auditor’s report thereon.
My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and accordingly I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact. I have nothing to report in this regard.

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Accountable Authority’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
As the Accountable Authority of the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board the directors areresponsible under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 for the preparation and fair presentation of annual financial statements that comply with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the rules made under that Act. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Royal Australian Navy Central Canteens Board’s ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account whether the entity’s operations will cease as a result of an administrative restructure or for any other reason. The directors are also responsible for disclosing matters related to going concern as applicable and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the assessment indicates that it is not appropriate.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
My objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian National Audit Office 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 statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian National Audit Office Auditing Standards, I exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 my 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 entity’s internal control;
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Accountable Authority;
• conclude on the appropriateness of the Accountable Authority’s 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 entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of my auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern; and
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
I communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that I identify during my audit.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
Asset Recognition Threshold
Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the statement of financial position, except for purchases costing less than $500, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).
Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and income at their fair value at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are initially recognised as contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor’s accounts immediately prior to the restructuring.
With the absence of records reflecting the cost of the RANCCB holiday parks at acquisition date, the allocation of costs between land, buildings and other plant and equipment at acquisition date and subsequent additions to land and buildings; management has relied upon land records, where available, to determine the allocation of revaluation surpluses. Revaluation surpluses have been allocated in the first instance to land and the residual apportioned between buildings and other infrastructure plant and equipment based on the carrying costs of those assets. The RANCCB holiday parks were acquired between the early 1970’s to mid 1980’s.
Revaluations
Following initial recognition at cost, property, plant and equipment are carried at fair value less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amounts of assets did not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depended upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets.
Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reversed a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the surplus/deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly in the surplus/deficit except to the extent that they reversed a previous revaluation increment for that class.
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount.
Any revaluation adjustments are charged to the Asset Revaluation Reserve in equity. There were no revaluation adjustments for 2016-17.
For the purpose of determining the fair value of land, buildings and property, plant and equipment, the management has relied on third party independent evaluators. Asset valuations were last undertaken in June 2015 by Opteon Property Group, Taylor Byrne and Walsh & Monaghan. The next valuations are expected to occur in and around June 2018.

NAVY CANTEENS 2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Depreciation
Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the entity using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation.
Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate.
Depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives:
Description 2017 2016
Building From 5 to 50 Years From 5 to 50 Years
Property, Plant and Equipment From 2 to 5 Years From 2 to 5 Years
Impairment
All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2017. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the entity were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost. No indicators of impairment were found for property, plant and equipment.
Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. No property plant or equipment is expected to be sold or disposed of within the next 12 months.
Intangibles
Intangibles comprise externally developed software for internal use. These assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the RANCCB software are 3 years (2015-16 3 years).
All software assets were assessed for indications of impairment as at 30 June 2017.
Leasehold Improvements
The fair value of leasehold improvements have been taken to be the market value of similar properties as determined by an individual valuer. In some instances, entity buildings are purpose-built and may in fact realise more or less in the market.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
Inventory
Inventories held for sale are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Inventories held for distribution are valued at cost, adjusted for any loss of service potential.
Costs incurred in bringing each item of inventory to its present location and condition are assigned as follows:
a) raw materials and stores – purchase cost on a average cost basis; and
b) finished goods and work-in-progress – cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable costs that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
Inventories acquired at no cost or nominal consideration are initially measured at current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

ACCOUNTING POLICY
Employee Provisions
Liabilities for ‘short-term employee benefits and termination benefits expected within twelve months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts.
Other long-term employee benefits are measured as net total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period minus the fair value at the end of the reporting period of plan assets (if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.
Leave
The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave.
The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration at the estimated salary rates that will be applied at the time the leave is taken, including the entity’s employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination.
Separation and Redundancy
Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefit payments. The entity recognises a provision for termination when it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry out the terminations.
Superannuation
The entity’s staff are members of other superannuation funds held outside the Australian Government. Contributions are made by the RANCCB to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred.
The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions.
Accounting Judgements and Estimates
For the purpose of determining employee entitlements assumptions have been made on future increases in wages and salaries, future on cost rates and employee departure and period of service.
