(i) Property, plant and equipment(i) Cost and valuationPlant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairmentlosses.

(ii) Capital Work in ProgressCosts incurred which are related to capital projects are carried forward and capitalised where futurebenefits are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to exceed these costs.

(iii) DepreciationDepreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets asfollows:

Land is not depreciated.

Buildings 40 yearsPlant and equipment 2-15 yearsLeased improvement expected lease termMotor vehicles 3-5 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognisedupon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain orloss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss and othercomprehensive income when the asset is derecognised.

The residual values, useful lives and method of depreciation of property, plant and equipment arereviewed at each financial year and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)For the year ended 31 October 2018

(j) Leases (continued)A leased asset is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonablecertainty that the Football Club will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset isdepreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognised asan operating expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive on a straight-linebasis over the lease term.

(k) Trade and other payablesTrade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goodsand services provided to the Football Club prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid andarise when the Football Club becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase ofthese goods and services.

(l) Deferred revenueDeferred revenue relates to revenue which has been invoiced or received in the current period, ofwhich the point of delivery or provision of service will occur in the following period.

(m) Interest-bearing loans and borrowingsAll loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received lessdirectly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured atamortised cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilitiesthat are yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Gains and losses are recognised in income statement when the liabilities are derecognised.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Football Club has an unconditional right todefer settlement of the liability for a least 12 months after the reporting date.

(n) Borrowing costsBorrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset(i.e. an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use orsale) are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in theperiod they occur.

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with theborrowing of funds. The Football Club does not currently hold qualifying assets but, if it did, theborrowing costs directly associated with this asset would be capitalised (including any otherassociated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and temporary investment income earned onthe borrowing).

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

PENRITH DISTRICT RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements (continued)For the year ended 31 October 2018

(o) Employee benefit liabilitiesGeneralProvisions are recognised when the Football Club has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will berequired to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.When the Football Club expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under aninsurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when thereimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement ofprofit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provision are discount using a current pre-tax ratethat reflects, when appropriate, the risk specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increasein the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance costs.

(i) Wages, salaries, and sick leaveLiabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave whichare expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect ofemployees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paidwhen the liabilities are settled. Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when theleave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Long service leave and annual leaveThe liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12months after the end of the reporting period in which the employees render the related service isrecognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expectedfuture payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of thereporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected futurewage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected futurepayments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period on high qualitycorporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimatedfuture cash outflows.

(p) Revenue recognitionRevenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theFootball Club and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is received.Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, taking into accountcontractually defined terms of payment and excluding taxes or duty. The Football Club has concludedthat it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements since it is the primary obligor in all therevenue arrangements, has pricing latitude and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Sales of goodsRevenue from sale of goods comprises revenue earned from provision of food, beverages,merchandise goods and other goods. Revenue is recognised (net of rebates, returns, discounts andother allowances) at the point of sales or delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significantrisks and rewards of ownership of the goods.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

PENRITH DISTRICT RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED

Notes to the financial statements (continued)For the year ended 31 October 2018

(s) Impairment of non-current assetsThe Football Club assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may beimpaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, theFootball Club makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount isthe higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individualasset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those fromother assets or Football Club’s assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close toits fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the cash-generating unit("CGU") to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverableamount, the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in those expense categories consistent with the function of theimpaired asset period.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication thatpreviously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If suchindication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss isreversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverableamount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of theasset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carryingamount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss beenrecognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or lossand other comprehensive income. After such a reversal the depreciation charge is adjusted in futureperiods to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basisover its remaining useful life.

(t) Comparative figuresWhere necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with changes inpresentation in the current year.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)For the year ended 31 October 2018

Estimates and assumptionsThe key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reportingdate, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Football Club based its assumptions andestimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstancesand assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes orcircumstances arising beyond the control of the Football Club. Such changes are reflected in theassumptions when they occur.

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, which isthe higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation isbased on available data from binding sales transactions, conducted at arm’s length, for similar assets orobservable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation isbased on a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the nextfive years and do not include restructuring activities that the Football Club is not yet committed to orsignificant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. Therecoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expectedfuture cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The preparation of the Football Club's financial statements requires management to make judgements,estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities,and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about theseassumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carryingamount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Penrith District Rugby League Football Club Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Penrith District Rugby League Football Club Limited (the

Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 October 2018, the statement

of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year

then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies,

and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the

Corporations Act 2001, including:

a) giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 31 October 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

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 auditor

independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the

Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional

Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also

fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

for our opinion.

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of

this auditor’s report is the directors’ report accompanying the financial report.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not

express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information

and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial

report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this

other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a

true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure

Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine

Page 30: Panthers Group - PENRITH DISTRICT RUGBY LEAGUE ......Panthers for a number of years as a Corporate Sponsor. He is also a Director - Western Sydney Business Centre, Director- Penrith

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

Page 2

is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that

includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an

audit conducted in accordance with the 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 this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional

judgment 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 the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of

the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we

identify during our audit.
