2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

The 2011/12 financial year embraced two Chinese New Year symbols – the Dragon and the Rabbit. We also had two outstanding and not dissimilar symbols in New South Wales clubs – it was the Year of People Power when a dragon awoke and roared, and the Year of Faith Restored with several welcome rabbits pulled out of the political hat.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott also attended several of these rallies, where he condemned mandatory pre-commitment as bad policy and predicted that the Liberal-Nationals would repeal any such legislation should they win office at the next Federal election. The New South Wales Government further made it clear it didn’t support the deal either, as did the New South Wales Opposition and governments in other Australian states.

Two things particularly impressed me about the club rallies. The first was the unashamed passion of so many people prepared to publicly support their clubs in the face of the most vitriolic attacks by opponents. These ordinary, decent Australians made it clear they’d had a gutful of being used as convenient political footballs and were not going to stand for it any longer. The second was the inability of some (not all) politicians, supposedly hardened veterans of the public place, to cut the mustard and present themselves sensibly and credibly when face-to-face with hostile electors who determine the MPs’ political futures at the ballot box.

My thanks to all involved in this campaign, starting with Anthony Ball, Josh Landis, Jeremy Bath, Marita Barron, and the ClubsNSW crew. Anthony was very much

With regard to People Power, mass rallies of thousands of passionate and committed club members, employees, and supporters across New South Wales helped convince the Australian Government of its folly in signing a deal with Tasmanian Independent MP Andrew Wilkie to force the introduction of mandatory pre-commitment legislation that would have killed our community clubs. Allowed a buffer in her parliamentary numbers by Peter Slipper leaving the Coalition to accept the role of Speaker of the House, and with Labor MPs reporting enormous political damage in their individual electorates, Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced in late January that she was walking away from the Wilkie deal. Mr Wilkie in turn said he was walking away from her to become what one of his supporters described as “a ticking time bomb” in a hung parliament.

The Prime Minister announced that discussions would continue with ClubsACT about a mandatory pre-commitment trial, and foreshadowed legislation on other poker machine reform measures. As I write this report, that legislation has not been presented to Parliament presumably because the numbers to pass it are not there, particularly in the Senate, and the earliest it now could be presented is late August. Having said that, the Greens oppose it, demanding the introduction of $1 maximum bets which neither Labor nor the Coalition supports. With this in mind, an enormous amount remains to be done before anything can happen with regard to an ACT trial, so its real start date is also unknown.

The Federal Government’s about-face on the Wilkie deal came after our concerted Licence To Punt campaign and a series of 12 club rallies across New South Wales (plus others in Queensland and Victoria). They began with more than 500 South Coast and Southern Tablelands loyalists marching through the streets of Braidwood on a freezing July day, before rallying in a nearby park to vent their anger. Similar protests had particular effect in Labor-held Federal electorates in Sydney, Illawarra, the Central Coast, North Coast, and South Coast.

the public face of this campaign, handling enormous media and other pressures, and in my view performed exceptionally. We also received great support from our State Council, affiliated associations, the CMAA, and individual clubs, hotels, casinos, and manufacturers. The overall support and solidarity was inspirational. As we enter a new year, this issue remains afoot, albeit with the Prime Minister’s January announcement taking much of the heat out of it despite the best efforts of the club-hater brigade.

In the meantime, you would’ve seen a positive new multi-media advertising campaign begin in June 2012 under the ClubsAustralia banner and tagged as Part of the Solution to highlight what clubs have done and are doing to address the issue of problem gambling even further. This campaign will continue into the new financial year, followed by more general club-positive messaging coming into Spring. I thank clubs for their support of the ClubKENO Holdings board to agree to channel part of this year’s additional commission to supporting the campaign against mandatory pre-commitment, as well as this later positive campaign reinforcing clubs in the community. With clubs now firmly on the national political stage, we

will need to fund such coverage into the years ahead and while it will be expensive, it’s a necessary undertaking to protect the wellbeing of our community clubs and the millions who rely on them.

At the same time, we’ve expanded our ClubSAFE gambling harm minimisation program to now offer a ClubSAFE Premium product of particular interest to larger clubs, and have appointed two more specialists in Di Merritt and Marita Barron to assist manager Rowan Cameron. A multi-venue web-based self-exclusion program

arrangements which will help clubs as well as their communities, approval for a new industry-based workers compensation scheme (which is now in place and saving clubs money), and numerous other positives. The workers compensation scheme in itself is a terrific step forward, and I thank Brandon Punter and Anthony Ball, as well as lawyer David Kennedy at our end, for the enormous amount of detailed work required to see it become a reality.

This New South Wales Government agreement also deals with the requirement for sensible club director training which ClubsNSW is currently coordinating. This isn’t meant to question the bona-fides or commitment of directors of experience and knowledge, but rather to fill a glaring gap in our industry with regard to those who need assistance. Training under the Club Directors Institute banner has assisted many of its almost 4,000 members, but unfortunately there still remain thousands of New South Wales club directors who, for their own wellbeing as well as that of their club, require assistance. During the year ClubsNSW also has been heavily involved in a Future Club Leaders program which is going great guns and will reach out further this year. I thank Premier O’Farrell, Deputy Premier Stoner, Ministers Souris

FROM THE CHAIRMAN

was rolled out over parts of New South Wales during the second-half of the year and this should be concluded with the inclusion of metropolitan Sydney by early 2013.

With regard to my tag of the Year of Faith Restored, I should explain that this applies to the New South Wales Coalition Government of Premier Barry O’Farrell and Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner who won office in a landslide in March 2011. As you know, the Coalition went into that election as signatories to an agreement with ClubsNSW on a raft of measures, not the least being a $300 million cut in exorbitant taxation rates over the Government’s first term.

At a regional meeting after I signed that agreement at our Annual Conference in October 2010, I was asked whether I really thought undertakings with politicians were worth the paper on which they were written. Given our experiences elsewhere, I perhaps could’ve been forgiven for having responded differently, but my answer in this particular case is a loud and unequivocal “Yes!” And the proof of this pudding has been in the eating. Upon election, the O’Farrell Government moved at once to start honouring the agreement, with tax cuts introduced last September, a new ClubGRANTS scheme to replace the old CDSE

and Annesley, Treasurer Baird, and their colleagues for the positive and co-operative relationships we’ve maintained during the year.

ClubsNSW finished the 2011/12 year in a sound financial position, reporting a net surplus of $198,551. I am also pleased to report that the game of Keno continued to perform well for the 994 clubs online, with total Keno subscriptions at $411 million (up 3.2% year-on-year).

ClubsNSW again conducted a successful Annual Conference and Trade Expo at Broadbeach, as well as its 30th Awards for Excellence presentation. In the coming year we intend converting the Awards for Excellence into an event focusing closely on clubs’ community involvement and the hundreds of positive stories surrounding it. More details will be available soon.

The Workplace Relations team opened 148 case files with most matters being settled either at the workplace or via conciliation. The team successfully defended the eight matters that required arbitration, and the Members Enquiry Centre handled 16,681 enquiries. Two new services were also introduced – tailored workplace relations seminars and a mediation service with all matters before it resolved successfully. Furthermore, ClubsAustralia

Industrial commenced this year, undertaking two significant submissions – the review of the Fair Work Act and the proposed consolidation of anti-discrimination laws. ClubsAustralia Industrial is also currently strongly advocating in the Modern Award Review to adopt the flexible New South Wales part-time provisions beyond 2012 in the interests of all industry stakeholders.

My thanks to all who have given of their time and effort to support ClubsNSW this year. In what have been trying times, special recognition must go to our dedicated and professional team led by CEO Anthony Ball, Wayne Krelle, Anne Fitzgerald, Brandon Punter, Richard Tait, and Josh Landis, with thanks also to Media Manager Jeremy Bath and Events Manager Kerrie Napier. Thank you to my board colleagues David Doyle OAM, Rod Desborough, Michael Fraser, Keith Gomes, and Paul Barnett, our fellow ClubKENO

Holdings directors Ann Munro and Bryn Miller, as well as our affiliated industry associations and CMAA colleagues, our member clubs, State Councillors, and our great corporate partners and industry supporters. Special mention must go to Gordon Greaves, from Taree, who after 13 years in the role as North Coast State Councillor will hand over the reins to Carl Guy. Thank you also to Anne Formby, Anita Allison, and Judy Newell for doing their best to keep me on the rails during the year.

My condolences to all of our ClubsNSW family who have lost loved ones during the year, and unfortunately there have been far too many of them.

I conclude this report with another frantic year behind us, and looking forward to a year of certainty and positive go-forward for our magnificent club industry. Thanks for being with me on the journey.

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

FROM THE CEO

While every year at ClubsNSW is filled with opportunities, challenges, and significant events, to my mind 2012 stands out from the others. The year was both demanding and productive, and as you will see elsewhere in this report the ClubsNSW team worked energetically in support of our clubs and the broader industry.

things together aim to reduce the risk of policy shocks and political accidents that heavily impact the financial viability of clubs.

We worked on enhancing the industry’s reputation by acting positively and then explaining to our stakeholders including the general public what we were doing. The development of our world’s best practice gambling harm minimisation program ClubSAFE Premium and the roll out of a state-of-the-art multi-venue self-exclusion system will actually help people with a gambling problem (without killing clubs) and were delivered without the heavy hand of government intervention. And through our Part of the Solution campaign we’ve told people what we are doing, explaining that clubs are the safest places to gamble, and that we will continue to look for ways to help. In addition, we saw the bedding in of ClubGRANTS and a greater focus on the community role of clubs and this will continue to be a priority for ClubsNSW.

With the solid support of the New South Wales Government, lead by Premier Barry O’Farrell and Minister George Souris we improved the regulatory environment through the delivery of the commitments contained in the Memorandum of Understanding signed in October 2010. By the end of the year, and

Through the year we were driven by our six strategic goals of:

- Providing leadership to the industry on challenging issues;

- Enhancing the reputation of the industry in the eyes of the community;

- Optimising the regulatory environment for clubs;

- Building capacity within the industry;

- Delivering relevant, high quality services to clubs; and,

- Strengthening ClubsNSW’s assets, competencies, and overall performance.

As a peak body should, ClubsNSW provided leadership at a crucial time in our industry’s history in the context of mandatory pre-commitment and the fight that concluded in January when the Gillard/Wilkie deal was torn up. While that event was momentous and the result of hard work and commitment across the industry especially by our clubs, ClubsNSW recognised that the end of the deal wasn’t the end of the matter or a time to stand still. With this in mind, we immediately set about executing our forward strategy that in summary sought to leverage our current position at the forefront of public debate on gambling to reposition the industry, drive self-regulation, and establish a more active lobbying presence in Canberra and interstate – these

customised training to help them grow into leaders and advocates. With the imminent introduction of mandatory training for directors and managers, ClubsNSW finalised development of the required training modules that will be delivered free to clubs when the time comes for training to be completed.

On top of the already mentioned high quality and affordable services ClubsNSW has provided to clubs, this year we established Club Employers Mutual, a specialised workers compensation insurance scheme that will see clubs pay less for their workers compensation insurance and receive support to better manage workplace health and safety which will help reduce the frequency of claims and minimise the cost and severity of those that occur. Club Employers Mutual opened for business on 30 June and received amazing support from our clubs who are obviously crying out for an alternative to the existing WorkCover scheme. ClubsNSW will focus on growing Club Employers Mutual and increasing club involvement over the coming year.

Our work across the organisation has at its foundation sound financial management and I’m pleased to report that this year ClubsNSW recorded a modest surplus even allowing for

only months after taking office, the New South Wales Government had as promised reduced club tax, introduced ClubGRANTS and law to encourage the building of new clubs, and reduced the regulatory burden on clubs. As well, the New South Wales Government was a staunch supporter of clubs through the public debate on mandatory pre-commitment, the importance of which cannot be underestimated.

It must be remembered however that against this general improvement in the regulatory environment for clubs, there are many clubs suffering financial hardship and some of these unfortunately will not survive. The KPMG NSW Club Census showed that about half of our smallest clubs are showing signs of distress and there’s a real need for government and industry to work together to preserve these community assets where possible. This will receive our ongoing attention.

The need to help clubs adapt to an increasingly challenging business environment by building capacity among directors and club staff has seen further enhancements to our professional development program run through the Club Directors Institute and the introduction of the Future Club Leaders Program that identifies the very best young talent in the industry and provides

significant expenditure associated with our campaign against mandatory pre-commitment. This wouldn’t have happened without the support of our clubs who individually made financial sacrifices for the greater good. The reality is our Association couldn’t have run the campaign it did without this collective effort and I thank you all for it.

In finishing, I’d like to thank each and every member of the ClubsNSW team for a great year. I’m proud to lead a young, energetic, and extremely capable group who are passionate about clubs and what they stand for. Special mention of course to Executive Managers Anne Fitzgerald, Brandon Punter, Richard Tait, and Josh Landis as well as Deputy CEO Wayne Krelle for their leadership and commitment as well as Anne Formby and Anita Allison for keeping me (and the chairman) out of trouble. And speaking of the chairman, thanks also to Peter Newell and the board of directors for their stewardship, guidance, and support through the year.

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

The deal looked simple to anyone who knew nothing about gaming machines or problem gamblers – but if carried out it would’ve seen the club industry sacrificed on the altar of political power in its rawest form. The proposal was nothing short of ludicrous – somehow a ‘silver bullet’ technical solution was going to solve a very human problem regardless of the fact that no evidence exists to suggest a positive outcome would result. Such technology didn’t exist; the cost would’ve been massive along with the reduction in revenue and impact on employees and communities; and, the linking of 200,000 machines across 5,700 sites spread over six States and two Territories was clearly unachievable – yet that’s what can happen in a contest for political power.

The club industry responded in the best way it could: Measured and co-ordinated with sound intellectual arguments, and political pressure applied where it mattered. The deal was stared down by our industry and hopefully we will never see clubs being used as the pawn to serve agendas that would be happy to see clubs decimated across the country.

I would also like to briefly touch on two important developments that occurred during the year. Firstly,

Importantly, flexibility is built into the proposed legislation so that clubs can utilise their outdoor areas as they do now, except in meal times when smoking will not be permitted around seated areas where dining is taking place. A major information campaign will be conducted prior to the introduction of these proposed changes to educate patrons about what to expect when dining in an outdoor area.

Gaming Advisory Committee

The Gaming Advisory Committee (GAC) continues to play a significant role in framing gaming policy recommendations to the ClubsNSW board. Input was provided into the It’s Un-Australian and Won’t Work, Will Hurt campaigns to stop mandatory pre-commitment, particularly in shaping the industry’s response to the parameters around voluntary pre-commitment. Other important areas covered by the GAC included a response to the Bill that was formulated as a result of the deal with Andrew Wilkie being abandoned, the Federal Coalition’s policy paper on gambling, the Interactive Gambling Act review (which saw ClubsNSW promote a club model should a decision be taken to make internet gaming available to Australian citizens), and the future direction of gaming in this State.

in November 2011 a number of important governance measures were introduced, largely as a result of the 2008 Independent Pricing & Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) inquiry into the club industry. The ability for club boards to appoint one or two non-member directors, cap the size of boards to nine, and ensure all directors have undertaken basic learning competencies, while presenting their own set of new challenges, will make real progress in enhancing the productivity and efficiency of many boards around the State. The timeline being proposed for reduced board sizes and training, to be achieved by the end of 2015, should allow clubs sufficient time to adjust and implement the required changes.

Secondly, the New South Wales Government’s announcement to stop cigarette smoking around people who are dining in outdoor areas will have some impact on the way clubs currently use these areas. Again, a start date of mid-2015 would honour our Memorandum of Understanding with the O’Farrell Government not to change outdoor settings in its first term of office. The indoor smoking ban proved beyond doubt that clubs need sufficient time to prepare for and make adjustments to accommodate new requirements.

While the campaign against mandatory pre-commitment dominated the reporting year and is covered extensively elsewhere in this annual report, I would like to make a couple of observations on this ill-conceived and misguided attempt to use help for problem gamblers as a means of justifying a deal to obtain an independent MP’s opportunistic support.

FROM THE DEPUTY CEO

11

clubsnsw.com.au

WAYNE KRELLEDeputy CEO

On the future direction of gaming, the GAC’s position is that clubs are missing out on entertaining gaming features that cannot be delivered under the current standards and approval processes. The GAC would like to see New South Wales get back to the world leadership position it once held in terms of innovation and player appeal. ClubsNSW is pursuing this issue with government in an effort to reduce uncertainty around game approvals, ensure the best games possible are made available to our clubs, and provide rigour around the efficacy of harm minimisation requirements.

This year’s member club representatives on the GAC include:

- Andrew Anderson (Burwood RSL)

- Durban Arnold (Dee Why RSL)

- Edward Camilleri (Revesby Workers Club)

- Jeffrey Duck (Commercial Club – Albury)

- Tony Guilfoyle (City Tattersalls Club)

- Philip Gardner (Western Suburbs (N’cle) Leagues Club)

- John Hume (Wallsend RSL)

- Micheal Mullarvey (Club Mulwala)

- Robert Smith (Twin Towns Services Club)

- Peter Turnbull (Leagues Clubs Australia)

Two new members joined the GAC through the year which include Mark Condi, new CEO of the Bankstown Sports Club, and Andrew Eastham, Group General Manager at Rooty Hill RSL. I’m sure both will make a significant contribution to the framing of gaming policy in the coming year. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the GAC for generously donating their valuable time to develop policies which are in the interests of the club industry as a whole. I would also like to record my appreciation for the work carried out by our Senior Policy Officer, Daniel Mitchell, who as GAC Secretary provides his expertise and invaluable advice to assist GAC members in their deliberations.

Finally, as Chairman of the club industry’s superannuation fund, Club Plus, can I also record my thanks to the ClubsNSW directors – Peter Newell OAM, Richard Tait, David Costello, and the ACT’s representative, Adrian Caddy, for their valuable work focusing on the provision of excellent services and the best possible retirement outcome for club industry employees.

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

there were numerous charitable organisations, sporting groups, and ordinary citizens who spoke publicly in support of clubs and against the policy. Members of Parliament (MPs) found it an effective grassroots campaign and I’m immensely proud of the team at ClubsNSW for developing and implementing it, especially the staff in the Policy and Government team. It was an incredibly busy year, but it was also a great team effort and an experience we will long remember.

The defeat of the Federal Government’s deal with Tasmanian Independent Andrew Wilkie has had profound implications. Not only have mandatory pre-commitment and $1 maximum bets been rejected by both major parties (at state as well as federal level), the result of this political success has been to generate a degree of business certainty for clubs that’s leading to renewed investment in the industry.

Anecdotally, clubs are investing in new gaming machines, undertaking renovations, and progressing capital improvements that had been delayed due to concerns and uncertainty over mandatory pre-commitment. Clubs are now eyeing amalgamation opportunities and investigating diversification strategies. So, while the political battle forced clubs to shelve investment plans, the conclusion

A lot of water has flowed under our industry’s bridge in the last four years: Smoking bans, gaming tax changes, and the fight against mandatory pre-commitment to name a few key issues. After such enormous change and uncertainty for clubs, ClubsNSW is focusing on rebuilding the high regard people have for clubs.

POLICY & GOVERNMENT

CLUBS CAN LOOK BACK ON A MEMORABLE

YEAR THAT BOASTS SUCCESS AGAINST

THE ODDS, WHICH WE HAVE MUCH TO

BE PROUD ABOUT AND IS HOPEFULLY

LEADING TO BETTER TIMES AHEAD.

Clubs will look back on the year just passed and regard it as a pivotal time in the industry’s existence after being forced to take on a national fight for their very existence.

For the first time, we came together as a national industry and in standing up for ourselves we managed to convince politicians, media, and the general public that the solution to problem gambling will not be achieved by ‘silver bullet’ political reforms that change the way poker machines operate.

In the process, we mobilised thousands of club supporters across Australia with our Licence to Punt message and turned mainstream public opinion against the reforms with our Won’t Work, Will Hurt message. With the spectre of harmful legislation diminished, our most recent Part of the Solution campaign has reaffirmed that the club industry takes problem gambling very seriously and further reduced the need for Government intervention.

Through the campaign, we worked more closely with pubs, casinos, and gaming machine manufacturers than ever before, and led the fight for the Australian gaming industry’s survival. In addition to club representatives,

JOSH LANDISExecutive Manager,

of the battle is providing clubs with the confidence to go forward.

Magnifying this positivity in the industry in the aftermath of mandatory pre-commitment, the many benefits flowing from the Memorandum of Understanding with the New South Wales Government are being felt. The first full year of tax cuts has passed, as have a range of other measures in the Memorandum of Understanding, so clubs have more available resources to direct into their core purposes and on improving their businesses.

The strong relationship the club industry now shares with the New South Wales Government can be seen in the way that clubs and government are working together. Clubs have been the community partner for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, Senior’s Week, and the inaugural Grandparents’ Day. It should be apparent that we have a relationship of respect and mutual benefit with the O’Farrell Government.

The reinvigoration of the industry that we are now witnessing only highlights the value of political certainty for clubs and provides reassurance for the Policy and Government team at ClubsNSW that their efforts directly benefit clubs.

Efforts will now be made to “future proof” the industry politically by improving the political engagement of club representatives nationally. As more clubs involve their local MPs in the club’s activities and utilise social and traditional media to connect with their community, the capacity of the industry to mobilise supporters and put the case to understanding MPs will increase to such a degree that political attacks on clubs become a risk not worth taking for governments. ClubsNSW advertising campaigns will continue to support that effort well into the future, as will our efforts to recruit, train, and politically activate clubs in electorates nationally.

Over the next year and beyond, steps will be taken to address the situation faced by the hundreds of clubs in financial difficulty by promoting amalgamations and seeking clubs willing to explore the option of mergers. The reality is that clubs are closing and while no one wants to see that happen, it’s far better for a club to close early and invest its assets in other local clubs, ensuring their survival, rather than to close without any assets remaining. This is probably the most pressing and equally the most difficult issue faced by the industry, and one which we must seek to address.

There are a range of other challenges and political issues faced by clubs that continue to require support from the Policy and Government team at ClubsNSW. These include proposed federal tax reforms for not-for-profit organisations, alcohol issues, and the many miscellaneous policy, media, and regulatory issues that clubs face. None will get close to the attention that mandatory pre-commitment received, but all are important.

Clubs can look back on a memorable year that achieved success against the odds, which we have much to be proud about and is hopefully leading to better times ahead. But we remain conscious that around 60% of small- and medium-sized clubs in New South Wales are in financial distress. We have far more work to do.

The Member Enquiries Centre received close to 17,000 phone calls, faxes, and emails in the last year covering a wide range of issues including the ambit of workplace relations matters from Award interpretations to advice on terminations of employment; clubs’ responsibilities and obligations under the Registered Clubs Act and the Corporations Act; club constitutions; and, the community support expenditure scheme and ClubGRANTS to name a few of the issues dealt with by our dedicated team of professional advisors led by Anthony Pham.

Workplace Relations Litigation

Over the last year the Workplace Relations team opened 148 case files again covering the scope of workplace relations litigation including unfair dismissals, harassment claims, adverse action claims, underpayment claims, enterprise agreements, and workplace dispute applications. In line with our mission to resolve as many matters as possible in clubs’ interest without the need for an arbitrated hearing, all but eight

to tailor a workplace relations seminar for either a club’s board, managers, employees, or all stakeholders with topics including how to prevent an unfair dismissal claim; dealing with ill and injured workers; and, what are directors’ and managers’ responsibilities under the new work health and safety laws plus many more.

Secondly, clubs are able to utilise the services of an accredited mediator to nip matters in the bud before they escalate into expensive litigation. In the last year a number of our Advocates have become accredited mediators as the industry looks towards mediation as a way to not only resolve workplace disputes such as allegations of harassment but also disputes between board members which, if left to fester, can become crippling for a club.

Clubs Australia Industrial

The last year saw the establishment of ClubsAustralia Industrial with the aim of promoting the industrial interests of clubs and their employees at a national level. The ClubsAustralia Industrial board mirrors the ClubsAustralia board and is chaired by Peter Newell OAM.

ClubsAustralia Industrial produced two substantial submissions in the review of the Fair Work Act

matters were resolved without a decision from the respective court/tribunal. Those eight matters were resolved in favour of clubs again highlighting the ability of our team.

Our litigation figures have spiked in the second half of the year which arguably is attributable to a seemingly new approach taken by United Voice. It appears that in unfair dismissal applications, the union is only seeking reinstatement on behalf of their member. This approach makes conciliation of matters increasingly difficult. We, and Fair Work Australia, have questioned the union on a number of occasions whether such an approach is really in their members’ interest. This approach has restricted our Advocates’ ability to settle many matters which should be settled in both the employees’ (not unions) and clubs’ interests. Accordingly, at the time of writing we had a larger number of matters than normal either waiting a decision or being set down for arbitration.

New Services

Over the last year we have introduced two new services in an attempt to make clubs more proactive in regard to workplace relations issues. Firstly, clubs are able to commission a member of the workplace relations team

WORKPLACE RELATIONS

Sometimes industrial disputes can prove to be a costly exercise. The current cost of private advice and advocacy can run into thousands of dollars per day. ClubsNSW membership acts as an indispensable and inexpensive insurance against this, thanks to its experienced team of industrial advocates who are acutely aware of the problems facing our industry.

and the proposed consolidation of Commonwealth discrimination legislation. In regard the review of the Act, ClubsAustralia Industrial submitted the need for reform to the conciliation stage of unfair dismissal proceedings via a face-to-face conciliation if the initial telephone conciliation fails (this argument is strengthened when a union only seeks reinstatement); reducing the smörgåsbord of litigation available to litigants under the Act and other workplace legislation; and, the need to simplify both the agreement-making process and the transfer of business provisions.

Although, the proposed consolidation of Commonwealth discrimination legislation has merit if it achieves its aims of a reduction in complexity and inconsistency in regulation and ensuring simple, cost-effective mechanisms for resolving complaints of discrimination. However, a closer inspection of what’s proposed highlighted a number of problems for employers including reversing the onus of proof, making it a cost jurisdiction, the ability for unions to bring claims (not just employees), increasing employers’ vicarious liability, and the expansion of both reasonable adjustments and protected attributes requirements. But the biggest issue is that the proposed consolidation of laws won’t have

any impact on state discrimination legislation hence meaning the complexity and inconsistency continues. I would like to acknowledge the work of Helen Carayannis, Workplace Relations Special Counsel in putting these submissions together.

ClubsAustralia Industrial is also leading the industry in the review of the Registered & Licensed Clubs Award. In April 2012, ClubsAustralia Industrial made application seeking the Award to be amended so that New South Wales NAPSA flexible part-time provisions become the substantive part-time provisions. Fair Work Australia has been inundated

with over 280 applications to vary the Modern Award and recently determined that the ClubsAustralia Industrial application be dealt with in stage two of the process which is meant to occur between October and December 2012. I would like to thank the many clubs and their employees who have actively participated in this matter by providing affidavits highlighting the benefits of the flexible part-time provisions for both clubs and their employees.

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

MEMBER SERVICES AND MARKETING

This year has seen the Member Services and Marketing team continue in its efforts to build capacity across our great industry through ongoing education, professional development, and strengthening of business partnerships as well as the celebration and communication of our unique efforts and achievements.

“However, the Corporations Act and an assortment of New South Wales legislation and regulations were not drafted with average citizens as the archetype of company directors. The law (and associated regulatory requirements) is strident and unambiguous in defining the personal liability of individual directors: Corporations law, employment law, health and safety compliance, service of alcohol, and the provision of gaming. In all these areas ignorance or lack of experience will almost undoubtedly fail as the basis for a credible defence against this personal liability.

“The issues of both board performance and director competence are therefore a matter of both strategic significance and operational risk management for the New South Wales club industry.”

A number of recommendations were made in the Stone Report and these, along with the recommendations of the ClubsNSW Corporate Governance Working Party (which made submissions on the corporate governance regulations), are now sitting with the State Government. The Club Directors Institute (CDI), regardless of this hiatus, has continued to develop its corporate governance programs throughout the year

It’s through this capacity building that the club industry continues to add significantly to this State’s ‘social capital’ which simply means the capacity of our communities to achieve things as groups or individuals for the benefit of future generations. In my view, there’s no single industry that contributes more to social capital than registered clubs. My team’s main achievements are as follows:

Education and Service Innovation

There is much we have been doing to further develop the pathways of learning for both club directors and managers. We engaged education guru Peter Stone to review all that we were doing to prepare the industry for the mandated director and manager training that was on the horizon. It’s worth quoting part of Peter’s executive summary from his final report:

“The club industry in New South Wales faces a truly daunting compliance and governance challenge. Clubs by nature are reflections of the communities and interest groups for whom they exist. Therefore their leadership should be in the hands of members who appropriately represent these constituents.

of unique modules covering: Understanding the Political Environment, Media Management, and Business and Community Relations which will complement the other operational, finance, compliance, and service modules that make up the diploma. This program is being developed at significant cost to ClubsNSW but we believe those who complete this qualification will go on to significantly contribute to the ongoing success and future of not only their individual club but the club industry more widely.

Our ClubSAFE Responsible Gambling Management Program has also gone from strength to strength this year. We boast many large club groups as part of our premium offering and we’ve covered two thirds of the State with our multi-venue self-exclusion system to great acclaim from all stakeholders. We are working with many organisations to continue the service we offer our members including the Multi-Cultural Problem Gambling Service where together we have developed a new communication piece in 12 different languages to club members. In addition, we’ve worked hard toward the development of a trial Chaplaincy Program with the Salvation Army. Being trialled at the Mingara Recreation Club, a Salvation Army Chaplain will be

and is pleased to have offered complimentary membership to every chairperson across ClubsNSW member clubs as we see the chairs as the highest point of leverage for change and industry improvement. I thank our almost 4,000 CDI members for their active participation and support throughout the year.

Not only have we been extending the pathway of education that’s available to directors but also that which is available to club managers and staff so as to build upon the knowledge, skills, and expertise of the club industry.

I am very proud of the Future Club Leaders Program that was launched this year in partnership with our Bronze Corporate Partner Barringtons. ClubsNSW was able to secure some Federal Government funding to help develop a truly unique qualification for those at middle management level. Clubs were invited to nominate one of their staff who has what it takes to be a future club leader or who aspires to a leadership role, to be part of the first intake of students. Only 60 places were available in the first intake and we quickly filled each and every spot.

The Future Club Leaders Program is a diploma-level qualification and ClubsNSW has added a number

available to speak to any person visiting their local club who may be struggling with a gambling problem or an unrelated personal issue.

Partnerships and Collaboration

It’s this sort of collaborative partnership as described with Barringtons and ClubSAFE that allows ClubsNSW to respond quickly and effectively to threats and opportunities as they arise on behalf of our members.

I would also like to acknowledge Colourcraft, a printing and design company and a Bronze Corporate Partner for the amazing support they offered my team as we endeavoured to distribute collateral for the campaign against Andrew Wilkie and his mandatory pre-commitment proposal. The It’s Un-Australian and Won’t Work, Will Hurt campaigns ran hard for many months and were successful because of the grassroots support and effort of our member

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

clubs and other key community stakeholders. The effort my team made from a logistics point of view on behalf of ClubsAustralia to get posters, coasters, banners, and newsletters in almost every club, pub, and casino across Australia and rallies in major communities was second to none.

I’m particularly pleased that the final wash up of the madatory pre-commitment campaign finished with a very positive, strong, yet simple message via television and radio to every community across Australia and I must say the support it’s received from most sectors has been extremely uplifting.

ClubsNSW has also recently launched its new brand campaign Your Local Club which communicates the unique role clubs play every day in the lives of ordinary Australians by bringing people together through celebration, junior sport, and grassroots community support. This new campaign will run on TV in all major metro and regional areas across NSW while radio will involve 2GB and Southern Cross Austereo’s two major networks (Today and Triple M) right across the State.

I would also like to thank all of our Corporate Partners for their enthusiastic contribution to our Strategic Planning Day with the

ClubsNSW board and executive management team in March and I know many took away key messages from our keynote speaker, KPMG Partner Bernard Salt.

Networking and Celebration

Our Annual Conference and Trade Expo in October was again a success with strong participation as was the 30 year anniversary of our Awards for Excellence. Thanks to Lion for their 30 year sponsorship of the Club of the Year Awards for small, medium, and large clubs.

I’m pleased to announce this 30 year milestone also heralds a change to the way we will run this gala event for the future. ClubsNSW will be introducing a new model for celebrating industry excellence in, and the unique vitality of, our industry. Our new Clubs and Communities event will celebrate the unique stories of contribution from right across the State, from clubs small, medium, and large. There shouldn’t be a single club that cannot share in its own words, with its own flavour, the community contributions that they make, which means participation from our members will be even greater. I look forward to the new event which is scheduled for 31 May, 2013.

I also report that our Community Partnership Program has gone

from strength to strength with significantly increased funding from ClubsNSW and ClubKENO Holdings to the Talent Development Project and a commitment of another four years to the New South Wales Institute of Sport. We have also worked very collaboratively with the New South Wales Government as the Promotional Partner of New South Wales Seniors Week since 2008, and supported the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June culminating in a Jubilee lunch at Merrylands RSL which was attended by Premier Barry O’Farrell. We are also very proud of our increased commitment to the ClubsNSW Academy Games where over 1,100 junior athletes from 11 Regional Academies of Sport come together to compete in a range of sports. Grandparents Day in October was also supported by ClubsNSW. Initiated by the New South Wales Government last year, Grandparents Day formally recognises the unique contributions grandparents make to their families and their communities.

I thank my Member Services and Marketing team for their efforts and energy over the past 12 months as well as the many club managers and directors who provide feedback and assistance throughout the year. I also thank the State Councillors for the support they give to my team and for the feedback they provide to me on our many services.

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION

The Finance and Administration department is responsible for an array of functions that assist in facilitating the strategic and operational delivery of the Association’s many services. In ensuring a strong future, the department fosters innovative business solutions and encourages professional ethics, fiscal integrity, trust, and stewardship of Association financial, physical, and information resources.

funded the mandatory pre-commitment campaign as well as the repositioning advertising campaign, Part of the Solution.

Contained within this Annual Report are the comprehensive reporting requirements for the Association and Consolidated Group. The most notable new inclusion contained within the financial reports relate to the investment in Club Employers Mutual. Disclosed as an investment of $4.8 million, with a corresponding liability within current and non-current, the Association has entered into a limited recourse loan agreement, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, with loan funding provided by joint venture partner, Employers Mutual Limited. This investment limits the recourse against the Association to the shares in the investment company, Hospitality Employers Mutual Ltd.

Keno Operations

The game of Keno continues to strengthen year on year, with game turnover surpassing $550 million and club specific turnover exceeding $400 million for the first time. This performance has allowed the board of the wholly-owned subsidiary, ClubKENO Holdings, to consider its strategic position with regard to securing not only the Association’s long-term viability,

The diversity of these functions stem from the strategic imperative to “strengthen ClubsNSW’s assets, competencies, and overall performance” by protecting and enhancing the Association’s financial assets and long-term viability, continuing to build and maintain an integrated information technology system, and the continuing management of our human resources.

The 2011/12 financial year saw the Association, along with the New South Wales club industry, confronted with the campaign against mandatory pre-commitment for the most part – a battle that we were collectively able to fight. This challenge well and truly put these resources of the Association to the test, from both a financial and personnel perspective.

Total funding contributed to the campaign against mandatory pre-commitment, and the subsequent repositioning advertising campaign, exceeded $5 million during the financial year under review – an essential spend for the ultimate viability of the industry. Of course, the Association continued to invest in its regular services and programs for member clubs throughout the year and enhance the many offerings made available.

From an infrastructure perspective, a number of enhancements were made that required considerable investment as well. The changes made included the rebuilding of the underpinning website structure, as the commencement of the rollout of the ClubSAFE multi-venue self-exclusion database was made available via the internet, and further development of the broader operating infrastructure of the Association. In addition, in order to deliver upon industry-wide projects and developing core services, the ever-evolving workplace gave rise to a modest increase in the number of personnel involved with the Association, requiring investment in additional staff and physical resources.

Financial Overview

In the face of the industry’s campaign against mandatory pre-commitment, it’s pleasing to report modest surpluses for both the Association and Consolidated Group of $198,551 and $232,345 respectively. These results have been arrived at with the Association having invested heavily in its personnel in relation to the industry campaign as well as the enhancement of the ClubSAFE responsible gaming program, while the Consolidated Group (primarily through ClubKENO Holdings) ostensibly

clubsnsw.com.au

Various commentary has been provided in our many publications and across various communiqués, but having seen Club Employers Mutual develop from a few lines within the Memorandum of Understanding to a fully operational insurance underwriting business in a little over 18 months is something that ClubsNSW should be very proud of achieving.

ClubsNSW has taken an effective 50% shareholding in Club Employers Mutual whilst maintaining a risk-averse position with regard to members’ financial assets by enabling the Association to structure a limited recourse loan that will gain equity by the performance of the business, and with no initial investment required. Whilst only in its early days of operation, we’ve had some 200 early adopter clubs transition their workers compensation insurance needs over to this business, and we will be playing our part in ensuring that every Club Employers Mutual customer’s needs are met.

It’s envisaged that Club Employers Mutual will provide considerable benefit in the management of workers compensation requirements of member clubs, as well as strengthening the financial viability of the Association well into the future.

but also that of the industry as a whole, by investing funds into the industry campaign against mandatory pre-commitment and the subsequent industry promotion campaigns, commencing with Part of the Solution.

At an operational level, we are excited about the future of the game with a number of new initiatives to be unveiled in the coming year ahead, which has just seen the advent of the pilot program for Roulette released very recently.

We also acknowledge considerable change last year with our joint licensee, Tabcorp, separating from its casino operations as well as the amalgamation of its Keno and wagering divisions. The results of these changes have been relatively seamless from a game performance perspective, and we are certain that the efficiencies will flow through at venue level even more so in the coming year.

Club Employers Mutual

In keeping with the deliverables contained within the New South Wales Government’s Memorandum of Understanding, the promise to deliver a club industry specific workers compensation scheme was met with the creation of Club Employers Mutual, effective from 30 June, 2012.

With the annual report being the single most important and trusted source of information on ClubsNSW, the primary purpose of this year’s report is to communicate relevant, transparent, and highly reliable financial information about the Association’s financial position, results of its operations, and its cash flows to all stakeholders and other interested users. The Board of Directors are pleased to present their annual report, together with the annual financial report of the Registered Clubs Association of New South Wales and of the Consolidated Entity, being the Association and its Controlled Entities, for the year ended 30 June, 2012.

Financial REPORTS

25

clubsnsw.com.au

The Board of Directors of the Consolidated Entity are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the annual financial reports in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and under Section 510 of the Industrial Relations Act 1991. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the annual financial reports that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and, making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

In addition, the independent auditor’s responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual financial reports based on their audit. As the appointed independent auditor, KPMG conducted their audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These auditing standards require they comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the annual financial reports are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual financial reports. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

The auditor performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, a view which is consistent with their understanding of the entity’s financial position, and of its performance and cash flows. In their opinion, satisfactory accounting records were kept by the Association and its controlled entities during the year including records of the sources and nature of income, including income from members; and, records of the nature and purpose of expenditure.

Dividends

The Registered Rules of The Registered Clubs Association of New South Wales provide that no dividends can be paid and no surplus assets can be distributed to members in the event the Association or consolidated entity is wound up.

Operating and Financial Review

The Association’s mission for the year has been to continue to consolidate its financial position whilst ensuring service delivery to members is maintained at a consistently high standard. A summary of financial highlights is as follows:

- Total revenue for the consolidated entity was $27,252,536 and for the Association was $14,475,367 (2011: $26,828,504 and $14,346,442 respectively).

- Net profit after taxation for the consolidated entity was $232,345 and for the Association was a net profit of $198,551 (2011: net profit of $191,513 and $226,362 respectively).

- Accumulated funds at 30 June, 2012 for the consolidated entity were $7,771,299 and for the Association were $6,056,237 (2011: $7,538,954 and $5,857,686 respectively).

In the opinion of the Directors, there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Association or the consolidated entity during the financial year.

Likely Developments

Information about likely developments in the operation of the Association and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Association.

Events Subsequent to Reporting Date

There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report an item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors of the Association, to affect significantly the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity, in future financial years.

Indemnification and Insurance of Officers and Auditors

Since the end of the previous financial year, the Association and its consolidated entity has not indemnified or made a relevant agreement for indemnifying against a liability any person who is or has been an officer or auditor of the consolidated entity.

Insurance Premiums

During the financial year the Association has paid premiums on behalf of the consolidated entity in respect of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance. The insurance is in respect of legal liability for damages and legal costs to a maximum of $20,000,000 arising from claims made by reason of any omission or acts (other than dishonesty) by them whilst acting in their individual or collective capacity as Directors or Officers of the Association and its controlled entities, including the Association.

This report is in accordance with the Rules of the Association in relation to the matters to be stated in the report and is signed on behalf of the Board of Directors by the Chairman.

Dated at Sydney this 20th day of August, 2012.

FINANCIAL REPORTSThe Registered Clubs Association of NSW & Controlled Entities

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial report and by all entities in the consolidated entity.

(c) Basis of Consolidation

SUBSIDIARIES Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Association. Control exists when the Association has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition in the Association’s financial statements.

1 Significant Accounting Policies

The Registered Clubs Association of New South Wales (the Association) is an Association domiciled in Australia. The address of the Association’s registered office is Level 8, 51 Druitt Street, Sydney, NSW 2000. The consolidated financial report of the Association for the financial year ended 30 June, 2012 comprises the Association and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Consolidated Entity).

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Association’s Board of Directors on 20 August, 2012.

(a) Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), the Industrial Relations Act 1991.

(b) Basis of Preparation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

A number of accounting standards and amendments with application dates commencing subsequent to year end were available for early adoption. The Consolidated Entity plans to adopt the relevant Accounting Standards and amendments in future financial years. The initial application of those standards is expected to have an insignificant impact on the Consolidated Entity.

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are available for early adoption at 30 June, 2012, but have not been applied in preparing this financial report.

- AASB 9 Financial Instruments includes requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets resulting from the first part of Phase 1 of the project to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 will become mandatory for the consolidated entity’s 30 June, 2016 financial statements. The consolidated entity has not yet determined the potential effect of the standard.

The financial report is prepared on the historical cost basis.

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June, 2012

35

clubsnsw.com.au

TRANSACTIONS ELIMINATED ON CONSOLIDATION Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities (equity-accounted investees).

Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method (equity-accounted investees) and are initially recognised at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.

The consolidated financial statements include the consolidated entity’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the equity-accounted investees, from the date that significant influence or joint control commences until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases.

When the consolidated entity’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the consolidated entity has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

The consolidated entity’s investment in Club Plus Financial Planning Pty Limited represents 50% of the issued capital in the joint venture, being one ordinary share. The consolidated entity’s investment in Club Employers Mutual represents 25% of the issued capital in the joint venture, being 6,000,000 ordinary shares. Refer to Note 12.

(d) Special Funds and Inter-Group Transfers

The Association and Consolidated Entity disclose as a current & non-current liability the balance in respect of a special purpose fund, the Club Movement Development Fund (CMDF). This fund relates to club industry issues and has been created and maintained by charges against the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Interest revenues and costs applicable to CMDF are credited and charged directly to this fund – refer to Note 13.

The current portion represents management’s best estimate of net funds to be spent in the following financial year.

(e) Property, Plant, and Equipment

Items of property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment losses. The cost of plant and equipment at the date of acquisition represents the fair value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisition.

Where parts of an item of property, plant, and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant, and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment and are recognised net within the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

LEASED ASSETS Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to the asset.

Other leases are operating leases and the associated leased assets are not recognised in the consolidated entity’s balance sheet.

DEPRECIATION Depreciation is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

- Property: 40 years

- Furniture and equipment: 3-20 years

- IT equipment: 3 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reassessed at the reporting date.

2012 ClubsNSW Annual Report

1 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade, and other payables and investments in debt securities.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

A financial instrument is recognised if the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Consolidated Entity’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Consolidated Entity transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e., the date that the Consolidated Entity commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Consolidated Entity’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets measured at amortised cost the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Non Financial Assets The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, demand deposits, and short-term interest bearing deposits that are readily convertible to cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost less impairment losses.

TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost.

OTHER Other non-derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

(g) Impairment

(i) Financial Assets A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired.

A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Individually significant financial

(h) Provisions

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Consolidated Entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

(i) Income Tax

The Association is a tax exempt entity. Therefore no income tax balances have been recognised in the Association.

Income tax on the profit or loss of the Consolidated Entity for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The

following temporary differences are not provided for: The initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

TAX CONSOLIDATION A tax-consolidated group was formed with effect from 1 July, 2003. The tax consolidated group comprises all wholly owned controlled entities of the Association which are not exempt from income tax. These entities are therefore taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Clubs N.S.W. Pty Limited (the head entity) and this entity therefore is legally liable for the income tax liabilities of the tax-consolidated group.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred

tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the group allocation approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the subsidiaries is assumed by the head entity in the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to (from) other entities in the tax-consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts (refer below). Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the subsidiaries of the head entity as an equity contribution or distribution.

The head entity recognises deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of the tax-consolidated group to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits of the tax-consolidated group will be available against which the asset can be utilised.

Any subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses as a result of revised assessments of the probability of recoverability is recognised by the head entity only.

NATURE OF TAX FUNDING ARRANGEMENTS AND TAX SHARING ARRANGEMENTS The head entity, in conjunction with other members of the tax-consolidated group, has entered into a tax funding arrangement which sets out the funding obligations of members of the tax-consolidated group in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding arrangements require payments to/from the head entity equal to the current tax liability (asset) assumed by the head entity and any tax-loss deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-entity receivable (payable) equal in amount to the tax liability (asset) assumed. The inter-entity receivables (payables) are at call.

Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are payable as per the tax funding arrangement and reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligation to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authorities.

Commission revenue from facilitating consulting arrangements between participating clubs and service providers is recognised upon the delivery of the service net of amounts paid or payable to service providers.

Revenue for ticket sales and trade stands are recognised in the period in which the underlying events are held. Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Management fee revenue is recognised equally over the period to which they relate.

(k) Goods and Services Tax

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

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

The Consolidated Entity, in conjunction with other members of the consolidated group, has entered into a tax sharing agreement. The tax sharing agreement provides for determination of the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement as payment of any amounts under the tax sharing arrangement is considered remote.

Membership subscriptions represent the amount due from member clubs in accordance with the Association’s Rules and are recognised equally over the period to which these relate.

The Consolidated Entity’s entitlement to an apportionment of Keno subscriptions is set out in the relevant sections of the Keno licence agreement under the authority of the Public Lotteries Act 1996. Revenue in this regard is recognised as it accrues.

Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method.

Other subscriptions are recognised equally over the period to which they relate.

(l) Government Grants

Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Consolidated Entity will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Consolidated Entity for expenses incurred are recognised in the profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised.

(m) Employee Benefits

SHORT TERM BENEFITS Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date, are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the consolidated entity expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

LONG TERM SERVICE BENEFITS The Consolidated Entity’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using the rates attached to the Commonwealth Government bonds at the balance sheet date which have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the consolidated entity’s obligations.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SUPERANNUATION FUNDS The Association and other controlled entities contribute to several defined contribution superannuation plans. A defined contribution plan is a post employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred.

(n) Expenses

OPERATING LEASE PAYMENTS Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as an integral part of the total lease expense and spread over the lease term.

FINANCE LEASE PAYMENTS Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability and is recognised as interest expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(o) Segment Reporting

The Consolidated Entity operates in one segment, namely the provision of services to benefit members within the New South Wales registered club industry.

16 Financial Instruments

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview The Association and Consolidated Entity have exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:

- credit risk

- liquidity risk

- market risk

This note presents information about the Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s exposure to the above risks, their objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included in this financial report.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for risk management and oversees how management monitors compliance with the Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s policies and procedures and reviews the risks faced by the Association and Consolidated Entity. Policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Association and Consolidated Entity, to set appropriate controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to controls. Policies and systems are reviewed from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions and in the Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s activities.

CREDIT RISK Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Association and Consolidated Entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s cash and cash equivalent balances (including term deposits) and trade and other receivables.

Cash Balances and Other Investments The Association and Consolidated Entity aim to limit their exposure to credit risk by depositing or investing with approved financial institutions in accordance with a Board approved investment policy to ensure that investments are of a strong credit quality and liquidity, and have strong credit ratings (as issued by a third party ratings agency Standard & Poor’s).

Trade and Other Receivables The Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s exposure to credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Approximately 62.5% (2011: 61%) of the Consolidated Entity’s revenue is attributable to the apportionment of Keno subscriptions received. At year end approximately 23.3% (2011: 30.1%) of the Consolidated Entity’s trade and other receivables balance relates to Keno subscriptions to be received.

The Association and Consolidated Entity have established an allowance for impairment that represents their estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments. The main component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually identified exposures.

LIQUIDITY RISK Liquidity risk is the risk that the Association or Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Consolidated Entity.

Typically the Association and Consolidated Entity ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet short term expected operational expenses. Cash investments made are in accordance with the Board approved investment policy which requires all investments to have regard to the liquidity and cash flow needs of the Association and the Consolidated Entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the Year Ended 30 June, 2012

FINANCIAL REPORTSThe Registered Clubs Association of NSW & Controlled Entities

16 Financial Instruments (continued)

MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates will affect the Association’s or Consolidated Entity’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Association and Consolidated Entity’s objective is to manage market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

Interest Rate Risk The Association’s and Consolidated Entity‘s exposure to interest rate risk relates directly to funds deposited with financial institutions. Changes in interest rates will affect the level of interest income received by the Association and Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity actively manages its cash balances in order to minimise risk, whilst optimising the return.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Board’s objective is to adequately secure the Consolidated Entity’s capital base so as to maintain member and creditor confidence so as to sustain continued support and development of the club movement. The Board considers the Consolidated Entity’s capital base as being total equity plus its special fund balances maintained for the benefit of the club movement.

The Board adopts a low risk approach to capital management and aims to maximise return on funds held without adopting higher risk strategies.

There were no changes in the Consolidated Entity’s approach to capital management during the year. Neither the Association nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

CREDIT RISK

Exposure to Credit Risk The carrying amount of the Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit risk exposure, and at the reporting date was:

16 Financial Instruments (continued)

Impairment Losses (continued) Investments included in trade and other receivables are classified as non-current as they are due to be realised in more than one year. An allowance for impairment in respect of Investments was recognised during the year as follows:

CONSOLIDATED ENTITY ASSOCIATION

Balance at 1 July 420,827 490,000 248,590 290,000

Derecognition of investment and accumulated impairment losses

(414,664) - (244,935) -

BALANCE AT 30 JUNE - 420,827 - 248,590

The investments to which this impairment provision relates were derecognised during the year ended 30 June, 2012. As at the date of derecognition, the investments were fully impaired. The impairment loss booked in the prior year was recognised owing to financial difficulties being experienced by the issuer of certain securities. Neither the Association nor the Consolidated Entity has collateral in respect of this investment.

LIQUIDITY RISK The Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s financial liabilities at reporting date relate to trade and other payables and Fund balances as set out in Notes 9 and 13 respectively. These amounts are non-interest bearing, and trade and other payables are expected to be settled within six months from reporting date. The Fund balances represent obligations to the club movement and are settled at the discretion of the Board.

INTEREST RATE RISK The Association’s and Consolidated Entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is presently limited to cash and cash equivalents. Cash includes at call balances and short-term deposits amounting to $11,819,379 for the Association (2011: $8,897,986) and $18,047,539 for the Consolidated Entity (2011: $17,674,827). All balances have short term maturities and are paying a mixture of variable and fixed interest at 30 June, 2012 with a weighted average return of 5.5%.

The Association’s and the Consolidated Entity’s financial liabilities at 30 June, 2012 are non-interest bearing (30 June, 2011: non-interest bearing).

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR INTEREST RATE INSTRUMENTS A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) the profit or loss and the net equity by approximately $118,194 for the Association (2011: $88,979) and $180,475 for the Consolidated Entity (2011: $176,748). This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2011.

FAIR VALUES The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet approximate their fair values.

RIGHT OF INDEMNITY ClubBIZ Holdings Pty Ltd acts solely as trustee of the ClubBIZ Trust and, in that capacity, liabilities have been incurred on behalf of the Trust.

Such liabilities are only recognised in the financial report of ClubBIZ Holdings Pty Ltd when it is probable that the company will have to meet these liabilities and, a right of indemnity from the Trust’s assets is also recognised, measured at the fair value of the Trust’s assets.

The book value of the assets of the ClubBIZ Trust, based on the Trust’s accounting policies and as reflected in the Trust’s balance sheet as at 30 June, 2012, exceeds the liabilities of the Trust as at 30 June, 2012 (refer below).

The Directors of ClubBIZ Holdings Pty Ltd believe that the assets of the Trust are both in a form appropriate and sufficient to meet the trustee’s right of indemnity from the Trust for liabilities incurred on behalf of the Trust as and when they fall due. In making this assessment, Directors had regard to the market value of the underlying assets of the Trust. However, the Trust’s assets supporting the right of indemnity are not directly available to meet any liabilities incurred by ClubBIZ Holdings Pty Ltd in its own right.

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of The Registered Clubs Association of New South Wales (the Association) and its Controlled Entities (the Consolidated Entity), which comprises the Statements of Financial Position as at 30 June, 2012, and Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, notes 1 to 19 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ declaration of the Consolidated Entity comprising of the Association and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report

The Directors of the Association are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and under Section 510 of the Industrial Relation Act 1991 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements

relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We performed the procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance Australian Accounting Standards, a true and fair view which is consistent with our understanding of the Association’s and the Consolidated Entity’s financial position and of their performance.

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

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion satisfactory accounting records were kept by the Association and its controlled entities during the year including:

a. Records of the sources and nature of income, including income from members; and,

b. Records of the nature and purpose of expenditure.

In our opinion, the financial report of the Association and the Consolidated Entity, prepared in accordance with Section 510 of the Industrial Relations Act 1991, was properly drawn up so as to give a true and fair view of:

c. The financial affairs of the Association and the Consolidated Entity as at 30 June, 2012; and,

d. The results and cash flows of the Association and the Consolidated Entity for the year then ended.

All information and explanations which were required for the purpose of our audit were provided.
