PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2014
When I took over the Presidency from Terry last year I knew I had big shoes to fill. I wanted to ensure that all the tremendous work he, along with other Club members such as David Lamb, was not undone. I believe it was my responsibility as President to provide the Board, and the Club in general, with short and long-‐term objectives so that we, as a Club, could continue to grow. Pleasingly, I can report that many of the short-‐term objectives set by the Board for the last twelve months have been achieved. The upgrading of the irrigation on the southern end of the course was completed on schedule. Ably led by project manager Paul Davies and supported by Lee Maddinson and Parrish Plumbing who installed the main line, Jim Kovacs and Bruce Warfe who did much of the electrical work, plus too many other volunteers to name individually, the work was done efficiently and punctually. To the credit of this team the impact to golfers on the course at this time was minimal. As Treasurer Mark Henning will indicate in his report, the Club has now reduced its bank debt to zero. Mark has been instrumental in ensuring we have kept to our budget, and I on behalf of the Club members, want to personally thank him for this fantastic result. This year, the Board implemented the ‘ownership of a hole’ initiative. Although we had a few teething problems in ensuring we meet the requirements of Council’s vegetation management plan I believe this has been an outstanding success. The course has never looked better and the hard work of the ‘owners’ has helped to take some of the workload off the greens staff and enabled them to undertake other tasks on the course. Whilst discussing the course the upgrading of the cart paths began this year. Led by Pat Herrick this work has been done by another team of volunteers. It has culminated in a notable improvement to the quality of the paths they have worked on. This will be an ongoing project over the next few years. Also completed this year was the extension to the greens shed to accommodate additional carts purchased by Greg Collins, as well as providing additional room for greens equipment. A big thank-‐you to Pat Herrick, Fobsy Marshall, Arthur Laidlaw, Gary Salway and Doc Davies for their hard work in completing this project. Additionally, the carport kindly donated by Col and Connie Parrish has recently been erected at the front of the greens shed. This will help give the Pro Shop staff some relief from inclement weather, as well as some protection from wayward golf balls. A big thank you to John Cummins for painting the carport prior to its erection. In the Clubhouse, work has been done this year on upgrading the Club’s website. I would like to acknowledge the fantastic work done by Di Knoll in this regard. If you haven’t visited our website I strongly urge you to do so. It is regularly updated and includes golf results. Another pleasing aspect of this year has seen the reintroduction of junior golf clinics under the tutelage of Harry and Pauline Delany. We currently have 45 junior members, some as young as 5. It is great to see some of them enjoying a couple of hours of fun activities with Harry and Pauline every week. It would be tremendous if a few more adult members could avail themselves in helping out our juniors. They are our future!
Also this year, the Board decided there was a need for a Publicity Officer. Felicity Percival, has taken on that role, and done so brilliantly. The fact that we now have a regular newsletter going out to members is something I wanted to see happen. I want all Club members to be aware of what is happening at their Club. Hopefully, this will develop even further this coming year. During the course of this next year the Board will be looking at upgrading aspects of the Clubhouse. Member Rob Willdig has done a marvelous job in preparing a 5 – 10 year master plan for our Clubhouse. The first phase involves putting a new roof on parts of the Clubhouse. Not only will it improve the Club’s aesthetics, but also more importantly eliminate the many leaks that eventuate when we have heavy downpours of rain. Also in the pipelines (no pun intended) is the replacement of the pump adjacent to the 13th fairway to make course irrigation more efficient, as well as hopefully upgrading the electricity capacity to the Club. My first year as President has been challenging but very rewarding. I would personally like to thank all those members who have supported and helped me during that time. In particular, I must acknowledge the Pro shop team ably led by Greg Collins who continues to bring additional ideas and events to our Club. The Pro shop is obviously the ‘first port of call’ for many of our members and visiting golfers. The friendly and cordial manner of the Pro shop team certainly makes everyone feel welcome to the Club. The greens staff, which under the guidance of Tony Orford is producing a quality golf course that simply gets better and better, have done a fantastic job this year. On behalf of the many golfers who take to the course I thank you for your hard work and dedication in ensuring we are consistently being recognized as one of the best golf courses on the South Coast. I also want to thank all our wonderful volunteers. Although there are far too many of you to name individually, I would like to acknowledge the work of Bob Cookson and his team who clean the beer lines every Monday morning, our Bush care team led by Noel Schneider, the team of Vi Duffy, Celia Hendry, Chris Davies and David Wilson who count and organize the banking every day, our handymen -‐ Gordon Howes, Kevin Huckel and Garry Hoare, our quartermaster Greg Montgomery, the volunteers who man the bar every day of the week and the members of the various committees who oversee various aspects of the Club. Without your hard work, commitment and dedication this Club would not be as successful as it is. I would also like to thank our Ladies Golf and Veterans Golf committees for their great support to the Club. Clearly you are a vital part of the Club’s success. Finally, I would like to thank all the members of the Board for your support but in particular Gail Wilson who has done a sterling job as Secretary, and Terry Lillie and Cec Montgomery who have given me advice and support throughout the year. I only hope that my second year of tenure sees the Club grow even more to the point where we are regarded as the best ( in all respects) Golf Club on the South Coast of NSW. Rob Russell
TREASURER’S REPORT 2014
The overall result for the year ended 31st December 2014 was a profit of $104,445. This result includes a grant for our irrigation works of $25,000, so the underlying result is approximately $79,000. The prior year’s result was $61,542. Once more the result is a solid outcome and it reflects the excellent controls in place to operate in keeping with the club’s financial capabilities.
Cash is king, and again the club generated a significant “free cash flow”, most of which has been used to continue paying down debts such as the bank loan, course designer costs and provisions associated with the Jerrinja road issue. Debt was again reduced during the year and as at 31/12/14 the Clubs bank loan was down to $15,000. The loan will be fully paid out in January 2015. Aside from operational leases, no other debt exists.
Listed below are a number of comments associated with the years trading –
Income
• Bar trading profit was $126k, or similar to last year. • Green Fees were $303k, up 5% on the prior year. • Membership subscriptions income was $191k, up 5% on the prior year. • A grant totaling $25k was received from the NSW government for the Irrigation upgrade • Total Income from normal trading amounted to $729k or 7% higher than the previous year.
Expenditure
• Course maintenance expenditure excluding both wages and depreciation totaled $94k. This is up 5% on the previous year; however, it is a good result as costs continue to be minimized due to the assistance from volunteer workers coupled with the many things our employees do to reduce repair and routine costs.
• Interest charges were $6k, down from $11k in the previous year, a 45% reduction. This charge includes leasing of machinery but the reduction reflects the continued repayment of the bank loan.
• Wages are 30% higher than the previous year due to the employment of an additional apprentice green keeper.
• Electricity and Gas expenditure was $24k, for the second year running lower than the previous year due to an improved contract with our electricity provider.
• Insurance charges totaled $26k, which is also lower than previous years as we refined our premium.
• Pro Shop retainer and commission paid was $61k, up 6% due to increased green and competition revenue on which commission is paid. The Pro Shop is a critical player in generating the extra revenue so this is a win / win situation.
• Total expenditure excluding depreciation is $568k or 5% higher than the previous year predominantly due to the additional expenses associated with course upkeep.
Balance Sheet
• Current Assets are up $14k due to higher cash on hand offset by a lower amount of prepayments.
• Current and Non-‐Current Liabilities fell again and are $59k lower than the prior period as a result of the re-‐payment of large liabilities such as the course designers costs and the bank loan. These repayments are offset by an increase in liabilities associated with additional course machinery leasing as we continue upgrading equipment for the greens staff.
• The club’s only bank loan was reduced from $60k to $15k. It will be fully paid out in January 2015
• Overall the Total Equity (value) of the golf club increased by $104k.
The 2015 budget forecasts another solid profit and a healthy cash flow, although once more approximately 75% of the cash generated is already committed. The funds will be applied to a variety of areas such as the final bank loan repayment, clubhouse improvements, a new irrigation pump and pump shed, a defibrillator and other course improvements. Excluding the course machinery leases, the Club will be debt free from the end of January 2015 and the Board plans on keeping this as the status quo.

CAPTAIN’S REPORT 2014 The progression of this Club continues to go ahead in leaps and bounds with the cart paths progressing well thanks to Pat Herrick and his crew. The modifications to the first green were a great effort by the greens staff and a plethora of volunteers. The end result is a green with a substantial number of pin placements available. Thanks for a job well done! I also want to thank the Vets for their financial support, as well as the many voluntary hours spent by a substantial number of them at the Club. Visitors are astounded at how far we have progressed as a consequence of member support and an enthusiastic greens staff. Thanks also to our Bush care crew under the guidance of Noel Schneider and to Ian Asbury and the Vincentia High students. You all do a fantastic job! On the golfing side of things, congratulations to Mark Johnston in winning another Club Championship and the Golf Illawarra Open series. Ian Asbury also had some strong performances in this series. The Pennants season has started and all our teams are battling away at the moment, and hopefully we will have teams in the finals again this year. Our Shoalhaven Shield team is also progressing well at the moment. I would also like to acknowledge the Pro shop team for your efforts in coordinating all of the Club’s golf events. Finally, congratulations to all our trophy winners: Club Champion Mark Johnston Runner up Gary Roche A Grade Net winner Harry Delany A Grade Net runner up Paul Bramley B Grade Champion James Eagle B Grade runner up Michael Cox B Grade Net winner Bob Nagle B Grade Net runner up Paul Hawker C Grade Champion Cooper Maddinson C Grade Runner up Pat Herrick C Grade Net winner David Cawthorn C Grade Net runner up Tony Langley

C.E.O. REPORT 2014
It has been an interesting year for me after being at the helm for over 13 years, but I must say that my replacement, Rob Russell, has done a great job in his first year as President of our club. It is good to see that the volunteers continue to support our club, for as you know, volunteers are our life blood and must continue for many years to come. I would like to thank Kevin Huckel who is always there if we need a job done around our great club and of course our resident electrician, Kenny Smith, who has left us for greener pastures. He also was available at the drop of a hat, I’m sure we all miss him as much as I do. The main issue I have been focused on is resolving the ownership issue related to the block owned by the Jerrinja Land Council at the entrance of our club. First and foremost, the land was granted to them some years ago and is gazetted as a building block and they own it. We have received $30,000 from Council and $32,000 from the N.S.W. Government to build around this block; however, that is not quite as easy as it appears, so we are looking for other ways to solve the problem. Recent discussions with representatives of Jerrinja have involved:
1. Working with the Crown to facilitate a swap of the land we occupy with a block of land in Scott Street on the corner of Booner Avenue. To achieve this I have been talking to Gareth Ward who in turn is trying to get the Minister for Crown Land down to assess the situation
2. Negotiating a formal lease, which will have a get out clause if and when the land swap occurs.

PRO SHOP REPORT 2014
It has been another big year of golf at the club with participation and total rounds of golf continuing to increase. A major contributor towards this is the condition of the course that is presented to us on a daily basis. To Tony, Brendan, Troy and Lachlan and all of the volunteers who help on the course congratulations on a job well done. Keep up the good work! To all participants who turn up week in week out across a variety of events from social play to competitions it is great to have you around and keep up the golfing. This year with numbers increasing demand for carts also increased. In September we took possession of another 5 carts to extend our fleet to 20 which meant we needed to expand the sheds to accommodate them. A number of volunteers were brilliant in making this happen and from Greg and Jo we would like to thank John (Fobsy) Marshall, Pat Herrick, Arthur Laidlaw, Gary Salway, Doc Davies, Bruce Warfe and the many others for your assistance. Already with extra carts available we can accommodate larger social groups, which has been evident in recent months with many new groups not only playing of a weekend but through the week as well. I would also like to acknowledge the wonderful work of all the volunteers at the club; you really do make this club something special and a club that is one of a kind. The success of Shoalhaven Heads is heavily reliant on your continued support and everyone should be congratulated on your efforts thus far. To the outgoing Board of Directors it has been excellent working with you this last year and I hope the new Board can continue on the good work from where you left off. That can also be said of the Vets and Ladies committees. You have done a fantastic job this last year! On to my staff in the Pro shop and most importantly a big thank you to my wife Jo for keeping me on the straight and narrow. With Jo and I welcoming our first child Rory this year, Jo hasn’t been seen as often in the shop; however, there is plenty of work done by her behind the scenes. With Jo looking after the little fella we needed help in the shop. An opportunity arose where a good friend and club member was looking for a change of scenery and as a result Danny Wenborn started with us in April. Danny has fitted in nicely and has been exceptional help to Jo and I, and we look forward to him continuing with us for a long time to come. Obviously I also have to mention Cec Montgomery who since retiring has continued helping me out a couple of days a week. His assistance is greatly appreciated and his services from within the shop and at Board level are certainly contributing towards the further progression of the club. Jo and I also look forward to having Cec around with us for quite a few years yet. Last but not least I would like to welcome and thank a new sponsor for the Summer Teams Competition. Since its inception Kitchens And Bathrooms Rock has been the major sponsor; however, this year they stepped aside and Col Waller from The Heads Hotel was welcomed aboard as the naming sponsor of the event. Our local pub already sponsors a number of events at the club and Col’s additional contribution to the teams competition is greatly appreciated. We would also like to thank Phil Guy from South Coast Building Consultants for his sponsorship of the weekly prizes. Greg Collins Club Professional

The success of Shoalhaven Heads is heavily reliant on your continued support and everyone should be congratulated on your efforts thus far. To the outgoing Board of Directors it has been excellent working with you this last year and I hope the new Board can continue on the good work from where you left off. That can also be said of the Vets and Ladies committees. You have done a fantastic job this last year! On to my staff in the Pro shop and most importantly a big thank you to my wife Jo for keeping me on the straight and narrow. With Jo and I welcoming our first child Rory this year, Jo hasn’t been seen as often in the shop; however, there is plenty of work done by her behind the scenes. With Jo looking after the little fella we needed help in the shop. An opportunity arose where a good friend and club member was looking for a change of scenery and as a result Danny Wenborn started with us in April. Danny has fitted in nicely and has been exceptional help to Jo and I, and we look forward to him continuing with us for a long time to come. Obviously I also have to mention Cec Montgomery who since retiring has continued helping me out a couple of days a week. His assistance is greatly appreciated and his services from within the shop and at Board level are certainly contributing towards the further progression of the club. Jo and I also look forward to having Cec around with us for quite a few years yet. Last but not least I would like to welcome and thank a new sponsor for the Summer Teams Competition. Since its inception Kitchens And Bathrooms Rock has been the major sponsor; however, this year they stepped aside and Col Waller from The Heads Hotel was welcomed aboard as the naming sponsor of the event. Our local pub already sponsors a number of events at the club and Col’s additional contribution to the teams competition is greatly appreciated. We would also like to thank Phil Guy from South Coast Building Consultants for his sponsorship of the weekly prizes. Greg Collins Club Professional
PRO SHOP REPORT 2014
It has been another big year of golf at the club with participation and total rounds of golf continuing to increase. A major contributor towards this is the condition of the course that is presented to us on a daily basis. To Tony, Brendan, Troy and Lachlan and all of the volunteers who help on the course congratulations on a job well done. Keep up the good work! To all participants who turn up week in week out across a variety of events from social play to competitions it is great to have you around and keep up the golfing. This year with numbers increasing demand for carts also increased. In September we took possession of another 5 carts to extend our fleet to 20 which meant we needed to expand the sheds to accommodate them. A number of volunteers were brilliant in making this happen and from Greg and Jo we would like to thank John (Fobsy) Marshall, Pat Herrick, Arthur Laidlaw, Gary Salway, Doc Davies, Bruce Warfe and the many others for your assistance. Already with extra carts available we can accommodate larger social groups, which has been evident in recent months with many new groups not only playing of a weekend but through the week as well.

VETERAN GOLFER’S REPORT 2014
Over the past year our regular Thursday competition has received strong patronage from our members, together with a healthy number of visitors from the surrounding district. There has been a good influx of younger players joining our ranks.
Once again our club had the privilege of hosting Day 1 of The Mid South Coast Veterans’ Week of Golf on 9th February 2015, with 141 players participating and enjoying our magnificent course. There were many compliments bestowed on our course and many comments as to our unique club. The day was a great success, due to the efforts of our willing band of volunteers, encouraged by our Captain David Wilson. We look forward to being a major part of this event once again in 2016.
Due to the rotational system in place, and not owing to the fact that our club succeeded with a clean sweep in all grades of the 2014 Interclub Championship, we will not be hosting this event for 2015.
To honour this special achievement the winners are listed below:
A Grade Scratch : “Bluey” Everest A Grade Nett: Harry Delany B Grade Scratch: Bob McDowell B Grade Nett: Gordon Howes C Grade Scratch: Ken Nash C Grade Nett : Peter Corkill
Hearty Congratulations to the Vets. Championships Winners for 2014:
A Grade: Gross: David Lamb B Grade: Gross: Terry Moylan Nett: Paul Hawker Nett: Bob McDowell C Grade: Gross: Peter Corkill Nett: Robert Sunderland On behalf of the Committee and all members, I would like to thank our Professional, Greg Collins, his wife Jo and their cheerful team of Danny and Cec for their patience and continued assistance throughout the year.
Thanks also to Tony and the ground staff for the presentation of our course, giving us something to be very proud of.
I take this opportunity of thanking Club President Rob Russell and the Board members for their continued support.
Special thanks indeed to all of our volunteers who assist with the mowing of the course and in a myriad of ways around the clubhouse.
Finally, thank you to the Vet’s committee for their ongoing contribution and assistance.

GREENKEEPER’S REPORT 2014 Well it’s that time again with another year of development progress complete at the club. With the course essentially complete and only minor developments still to be done we shifted our focus from building holes to projects that will help improve the quality of the course.
The biggest project we undertook during this last year was to replace and install the main irrigation line from the 14th green to the 10th green. This was a major task that involved laying over 500 metres of main pipeline, and installing in excess of 40 solenoid and decoders boxes to service the off shoot sprinklers.
This project, which cost in excess of $50,000, was aided by a $25,000 grant we gained through a successful Sport and Recreation submission. The work done by Parrish Plumbing and the contribution from the greens staff along with many volunteers not only kept the cost down, but also ensured the job was done professionally and as quickly as possible. To everyone who helped us achieve this we are extremely grateful. In particular, I would like to acknowledge the fantastic work done by Project Manager Paul Davies. Also this year we undertook the reshaping of the 1st green. Once again a tribe of volunteers helped us to achieve this with minimal disruption to golfers. The end result is we now have a green with a larger number of pin placement options. Similar works for the 6th green is proposed for later this year and the 8th green may possibly be modified in 2016. I would like to thank all of the volunteers who assist with a wide variety of tasks on the course. Without naming people specifically (as you know who you are) the course would not look like it is without your help. The greens staff is extremely grateful and we hope your assistance continues in the future. A couple of people who I must thank individually for their efforts are Garry Hoare for making sure our machinery continues to work after we break them, and also to Paul Davies for his work on the computerized irrigation system. This has been a mammoth task and will continue to be for some time. With out your help there is no doubt the course would not look like it does today. This year the Club has purchased a new roughs mower. At a cost of around $22,000 it has made a huge difference in helping to keep the rough playable for the members. Towards the end of this year we will be looking to buy a newer, or even brand new, fairway mower. Last but not least I would like to thank my staff that help make everything possible. Congratulations to Brendan and his wife Sheridan on the birth of their first child Isaac. Troy has now completed his TAFE studies and has one more year of on the job training, whilst Lachlan is now entering his 2nd year with us. Thanks boys!! Tony Orford Greenkeeper

HOUSE REPORT 2014 The Clubhouse has had another good year. Following your game there is no better place to enjoy your playing partner’s company either inside the Club or out on the verandah. There has been no major work carried out this year; however, there are some projects planned for the near future. The first of these will be to install an egress door on the northern wall of the Clubhouse. Other projects involve structural alterations to the roof to eradicate leaks in the Pro shop when we have heavy rain, modify the entrance to the Clubhouse and increase the floor area in the Pro shop. By the time you read this report it is hoped that a new caterer will be operating following the resignation of Rob Shilton who has been our caterer for the last twelve months. A big thank you must go to our volunteers who provide our members with a competent and friendly service, which brings a great camaraderie to the Club. Bob Cookson Chairman House Committee
LADIES REPORT 2014 The ladies have had another busy year with their fund raising. Our main charity day, which raises proceeds for the Shack, raised $2,500 this year. This went towards the purchase of new bunk beds. I would like to thank Simon Rudd from Shoalhaven Heads First National Real Estate for being our main sponsor for the day. Without this sort of support from local businesses our charity days would not be the success they are. I also want to thank Tony and the ground staff, and all our wonderful volunteers who mow the course or work behind the bar. Without you all giving up your time our club would not be what it is today. Congratulations to our club champions this year: Div1: Peta Griffin Div 2: Janice Wood Div 3: Pat Rae Foursome Champions: Sue McGilvray and Michelle Smith This year’s contributions to the clubhouse consisted of the purchase of a new pie oven, a new grill plate, 100 Soup Bowls, 2 new saucepans and 6 Serving spoons. We also donated $1700 towards the painting of the clubhouse. The total value of these purchases was approximately $3500, which is a significant amount for our ladies to contribute. I would also like to thank all the ladies on committee for a job well done as with out you we could not do this. On a sadder note one of our lady foundation members has passed away Glenda Bosely. We extend our condolences to her family. Glenda always had a welcoming smile and the prettiest golf clubs I have ever seen. It was a pleasure to play golf with her. Connie Parrish Ladies President
The activities they undertake include:
• Mowing the fairways and the roughs• Clearing lantana and creating environmental areas around the course• Propagating and planting plants and shrubs• Filling divots on tee boxes• Collecting rubbish around the course• Whipper snipping around bunkers and greens• Building cart paths and other course additions• Running the bar in the Clubhouse• Extending and renovating aspects of the Clubhouse
This past year the Board has seen small bands of volunteers taking responsibility for a specific hole on the course.
The work undertaken by these small bands of volunteers included:
• Planting shrubs and small gardens around the tee box area• Removing Parramatta grass and other noxious weeds from the fairway• Trimming overhanging branches that encroach on the hole between tee and green• Removing fallen branches that have fallen on the fairways and roughs of the hole.
If you are interested in forming a small working party, and willing to beautify a particular hole on the course, speak to Tony Orford or any of the Greens staff or a Board Director who will be happy to listen to your plans.
One of the key ingredients of the success of our Golf Club is our volunteer base.As you are all aware, our volunteers carry out a variety of activities each and every week throughout the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking intoaccount any trade discounts and volume rebates allowed. For this purpose, deferred considerationis not discounted to present values when recognising revenue.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to thetransfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and cessation of all involvementin those goods.
Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the entity obtainscontrol of the grant and it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow tothe entity and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably.
If conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before it is eligible to receive thecontribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions aresatisfied.
Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-termhighly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bankoverdrafts are shown within short term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned on afirst-in first-out basis.
Stores are valued at cost.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, whereapplicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Property
Freehold land and buildings are measured at cost less depreciation. It is the policy of the entity tohave annual appraisals by the directors to ensure the carrying amount is not in excess of therecoverable amount from those assets.

SHOALHAVEN HEADS GOLF CLUB LIMITEDA.B.N. 76 003 000 217
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses.
In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than its estimated recoverableamount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to its estimated recoverable amount andimpairment losses are recognised. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made whenimpairment indicators are present.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, asappropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flowto the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs andmaintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income during the financial period inwhich they are incurred.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation RateBuilding at Cost 2.5%Course Improvements at Cost 2.5%Plant and Equipment 7.5 - 20%Kitchen Equipment 10 - 20%Furniture and Fittings 20%Course Equipment 10 - 20%
The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end ofeach reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset'scarrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount.These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revaluedassets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred toretained earnings.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Financial Instruments
Initial Recognition and Measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to thecontractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that thecompany commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting adopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where theinstrument is classified 'at fair value through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs areexpensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effectiveinterest rate method, or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could beexchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, pricesquoted in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuationtechniques are adopted.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initialrecognition less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for anycumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amountcalculated using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over therelevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash paymentsor receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through theexpected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financialinstrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions toexpected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with aconsequential recognition of an income or expense item in profit or loss.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified as 'fair value through profit or loss' when they are held fortrading for the purpose of short term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes,or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enableperformance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key managementpersonnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management orinvestment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes incarrying amount being included in profit or loss.
Page 15
SHOALHAVEN HEADS GOLF CLUB LIMITEDA.B.N. 76 003 000 217
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinablepayments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured atamortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisationprocess and when the financial asset is derecognised.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturitiesand fixed or determinable payments, and it is the company's intention to hold theseinvestments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or lossesare recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial assetis derecognised.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either notcapable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or theyare designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of otherentities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (i.e. gains orlosses) recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreignexchange gains and losses). When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gainor loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income isreclassified into profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as current assets when they are expected tobe sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-salefinancial assets are classified as non-current assets.
(i) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequentlymeasured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through theamortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence thata financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, aprolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairmenthas arisen. Impairment losses are immediately recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulativedecline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit orloss at this point.
Page 16
SHOALHAVEN HEADS GOLF CLUB LIMITEDA.B.N. 76 003 000 217
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the marketvalue of the instrument is considered to constitute a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised inprofit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in othercomprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications thatthe debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default ordelinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or otherfinancial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separateallowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by creditlosses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that thecarrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written off amounts arecharged to the allowance account of the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduceddirectly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance accounts.
When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have beenrenegotiated, the company recognised the impairment for such financial assets by taking intoaccount the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events thathave occurred are duly considered.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or theasset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuinginvolvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognisedwhere the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between thecarrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fairvalue of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, isrecognised in profit or loss.
Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangibleassets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If suchan indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair valueless costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of theasset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement, unless theasset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard. Any impairment loss ofa revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the companyestimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period forgoods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. Thebalance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days ofrecognition of the liability.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where theamount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax 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 theexpense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive ofGST.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing andfinancing activities which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
Income Tax
The company is exempt from income tax under section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act1997.
Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits
Provision is made for the company's obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-termemployee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settledwholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees renderthe related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits aremeasured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The company's obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leaveare recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position.
Page 18
SHOALHAVEN HEADS GOLF CLUB LIMITEDA.B.N. 76 003 000 217
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Other long-term employee benefits
The company classifies employee's long service leave and annual leave entitlements as otherlong-term employee benefits as they are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months afterthe end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Provisionis made for the company's obligation for other long-term employee benefits, which are measured atthe present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected futurepayments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employeedepartures, and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of thereporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of theobligations. Upon the remeasurement of obligations for other long-term employee benefits, the netchange in the obligation is recognised in profit or loss classified under employee benefits expense.
The company's obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current liabilitiesin the statement of financial position, except where the company does not have an unconditionalright to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which casethe obligations are presented as current liabilities.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result ofpast events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflowcan be reliably measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amountsrequired to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production that necessarilytake a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost ofthose assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they areincurred.
Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform tochanges in presentation for the current financial year.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based onhistorical knowledge and best available current information.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends andeconomic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.
Key estimates - Impairment
The company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to thecompany that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, therecoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessingrecoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.
