players and families. Over the past year we’ve held a number of exciting events at the stadium including the exciting Melbourne Boomers finals and the stunning Basketball Victoria Awards dinner on our show court. These are good examples of how we generate support and revenue to grow and sustain our basketball programs.

None of this could happen without you. Thank you to the huge number of volunteers, coaches and Clubs for your on-going contribution to the life of our association. You are the reason our CEO and Board come together to discuss, debate, challenge and progress the KBI vision. We continue to appreciate your support for our plans and vision and welcome your feedback.

Michelle MurrayActing Chairperson Knox Basketball

CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT

This has been an important year for Knox Basketball as we continue to enhance our offerings and support for the players, Clubs and sport of basketball. Change programs that our CEO, Stephen Walter, and our Board advanced over the past year have delivered excellent results on and off the court. Our membership continues to increase and our representative team programs, as noted in David Phillips’ Raiders report, continue to build our talent to showcase and achieve nationally.

Coming into this acting Chair role in December 2017, I’ve had the privilege to leverage the turnaround momentum the previous Board Chair, Sue McMillan, and Stephen created. We’ve worked tirelessly to ensure we closed off the prior financial and leadership challenges to position us for the future. Achieving a ‘debt free’ position by the end of 2017 is an admirable achievement.

However, it’s important we reflect on the future and this does not come without new challenges. The situation with our Boronia stadium continues to be a key focus for us with Stephen and numerous members of our KBI team and the community actively engaging to consider solutions and options that will future proof our basketball association. Sustainability of the sport of basketball is one of our key goals and our on-going engagement with the Council, Basketball Australia and Basketball Victoria in respect of the options is critical. I reassure you we take this responsibility seriously.

Alongside our intent to build a sustainable program of basketball, we should remember KBI is the management team for the State Basketball Centre, a stadium and operation we should be very proud of. Stephen and his team continue to demonstrate forward thinking on how to utilise the venue to service and support the Knox community, our


Our clubs are our greatest asset and to that end, I would like to express my sincerest thank you to our clubs and their committees, volunteers and families who remain loyal, committed and positive. You are the catalyst and backbone of our sustained success.I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sue McMillan for her loyal support of the Knox Basketball community over the past few years. Sue is a committed community person and has been outstanding support for me during some most difficult and challenging settings. Sue’s move from Ferntree Gully to live in the City has been the catalyst for Sue to step down as Chairperson. On behalf of the Knox Basketball community, thank you for your contribution & influence Sue, you have made a real difference and you were key in helping Knox Basketball navigate through a difficult period. We trust you won’t miss the trees too much. We wish you and Greg every success in coming years.

Knox Basketball is now debt free which many did not think possible only a few years ago. Our financial performance in 2017 is solid once again. Unfortunately, Council costs has precluded any opportunity for Knox Basketball to take its rightful place in the SEABL competition. Regrettably, and until there is some relief from these costs, it is unlikely SEABL is a feasible option in the foreseeable future.

We will continue with our commitment to sustain affordable basketball for families within the challenging environment of rising costs.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal Board for their commitment to Knox Basketball. To Peter Cameron, Julian Cosgrave, Daniel Battye, David Phillips, Brad Sheehy, Michelle Murray, David Newell, Peter Aumann and their respective partners, thank you. To our committed VBRA referees, you are the best in Victoria. Keep up the good work. Well done to Daniel Battye and his team for delivering such a great program. To all Knox Basketball Staff, thank you for your commitment.

To our loyal sponsors, your commitment and support of our community is truly valued. To our major sponsors FTG Motor Group (Michael Banjanin), Appleby Real Estate (Wayne Sewell), SMS Recruiting (Faye Westbury), La Vista Caravans (Mary & Alan) and Coca Cola (Ron Hudson), THANK YOU. You are all far more valuable to your community than you could ever imagine.

And finally, thank you to all Knox Basketball Members for trusting me to lead our organisation in a fashion that will ensure we have a sustainable future.

CEO’s REPORT


During 2017, the Board started the year with the resignation of James McCoy Chairperson Senior Raiders Program. With the Annual General Meeting being only a few months away, the Board determined that the vacancy would remain until the AGM and the Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Walter, with assistance from Matt Shanahan, Basketball Development Manager would fulfill the requirements of the position until the AGM.

Representatives, from the Melbourne Boomers (WNBL), including Chairperson Tony Hallam, Justin Nelson and Jim Avgerinos met with the Board to provide an update of their team and game-day planning for the 2017/18 season. A sound relationship has been forged with the Boomers that provides opportunities for female players to reach the WNBL.

The Board was also able to provide assistance to some Junior Domestic Clubs to strengthen their administrative operations and if any club needs assistance please contact a Board member.

Peter AumannSecretaryKnox Basketball

First and foremost, thank you to the current operational management team for their efforts in achieving another great result for KBI in 2017. Revenue for the 2017 year came in at $4.2 million compared to $3.9m in 2016. Profit for 2017 is $134,882 compared to a profit of $200,643 for 2016. The 2017 year saw the repayment of all third party debt and our balance sheet strengthen, with current assets now greater than current liabilities.

Our objective is to deliver a sustainable financial model that can future-proof Knox Basketball in partnership with keeping basketball affordable for our families.

2018 will see further progress on the back of a strong budget as KBI strives to provide greater opportunities for its members.

David Newell Financial DirectorKnox Basketball

secretary’s REPORTFINANCIAL DIRECTOR’S REPORT


The Knox Senior Raiders 2017 season saw the Youth League Women’s and Men’s and State Championship Women’s and Men’s finishing top four in the State. Congratulations to all of the playing and coaching staff, with special mentions going to: Darryl McDonald (SCM Coach of the Year), Adam Thoseby (SCM All Star Five), Dylan Hare (Defensive Player of the Year), Leah Santomaggio (YLW MVP and All Star Five), Adrian Tomada (YLM Player of the Year), and Malik Meunier (YLM All Star Five).

Once again, Knox Basketball is indebted to the tireless dedication of our volunteer staff. Our club is fortunate to have a team of passionate and committed volunteers who keep the programs running as smoothly as they do. These people sacrifice their evenings, early mornings, and weekends all for the benefit of KBI.

Thanks must go to David Phillips, who once again led the way as KJR Chairperson for 2017. Alongside David, I would also like to recognize our dedicated Committee members and Front Office Team. Everyone working behind the scenes for KBI are passionate about providing premium basketball experiences for our players and coaches and endeavour to make basketball accessible to everyone.

Finally, I would like to express my thanks to our parents, team managers and coaches. Without their generosity and selflessness in dedicating their own time to our club, none of this would be possible.

2017 has been another season full of progress and achievements across all of our programs. I am excited to see what Knox Basketball can achieve in the season ahead.

Matt ShanahanBasketball Development ManagerKnox Basketball

Knox Basketball Inc. has enjoyed another strong season throughout 2017. KBI has visited 45 schools within our region, delivering high-quality and engaging basketball clinics for students of all ages and abilities. Our Knox Domestic Competition continues to be one of the largest in the country with thousands of players competing every weekend for their local clubs, with numbers continuing to increase. Moving forward, KBI is eager to provide multiple avenues for our domestic coaches to further develop their skills and knowledge. One method which will be introduced for future seasons will be the inclusion of video databases of skills, drills and training methods which will be able to be accessed by all coaches. These videos will provide high-quality and easily understandable techniques which any coach can incorporate into their training programs.

Our development programs continued to grow with another 23% rise in our After School Programs and a 30% rise in our School Holiday Programs. The reappearance of our Girl’s Got Game Program (mentored by our Knox Senior Players) further supported the participation of young female athletes enjoying our great sport. The inclusion of the ever-popular 3-on-3 camps saw numbers skyrocket to 83 teams competing throughout our school holidays.

Our Knox Junior Raiders continued to build on the momentum from previous seasons. There have been clear improvements being achieved by both players and coaches being ranked amongst the top four clubs in the state. Darryl McDonald and Bedrich Fliszar carried on in their roles as Boys’ and Girls’ Coordinators where they continued to complement both our players’ and coaches’ development. Congratulations to Josh Woodford, Georgia Baldwin and Zoe Jenkins for all being selected for the Under 16’s State Teams. The Australian Championships saw the Under 16’s Victorian Girls’ Team winning a gold medal and the Under 16’s Victorian Boys’ Team winning a bronze.

BASKETBALL DEVELOPMENT


In 2017 our referees officiated in over 22,000 games played under the control of Knox Basketball Inc. It is remarkable that from all of those games played we received only 26 written complaints that related specifically to refereeing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank every referee for their effort and contribution towards that result.

It is without a doubt that our program continues to be the best in the state. One feature that sets us apart from other programs is our depth of knowledge and experience. The Supervisor group is a highly capable team who have helped guide and develop our referee’s week in week out. I am very grateful for their fantastic support and I know that our referees are too. I would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Anthony Aulsebrook as the KBI Referee Adviser. Anthony has had a busy year in 2017, upgrading over 100 referees across the year and being a visible presence across both weekdays and weekends all year. We were also recently awarded the Basketball Victoria Referee Program of the Year for 2017.

Our Committee achieved a great deal last year again, in particular the Development Camp, which was a fantastic success. The delivery of content at the camp was flawless and was a testament to the months of planning, which was led by Brooke Gordyn and her crew that worked on our Major Events. Our Committee raised over $10,000

through fundraising and sponsorship to help drive down cost for our referees at the Camp. We had a record number of attendees last year and I am confident that we continue to see value from this event through the improvement in standard of officiating each week during 2018.

In closing, I would like to acknowledge the great support from KBI and the Junior and Senior Domestic Competition Committees and our clubs. We have invested a lot of time, in particular with the Junior Clubs in 2017 to help bring everyone up to speed on the new rules and improve relationships across the board.

I look forward to working with you all again in 2018.

Regards,

Daniel WJ BattyePresidentVBRA Knox Branch

VBRA KNOX PRESIDENT’S REPORT


junior domesticIn 2017 our numbers continue to grow with record numbers of teams entered in both the Winter and Summer Seasons. To enable this growth to happen, many clubs are now running clinics of their own to encourage children to learn to play basketball and then join teams.

With the increased focus on girls football, attracting and keeping girls in basketball will be a challenge we will all have to manage in to the future.

This year has also seen a large turnover in club committees and it is an issue that we, as a board and association, need to provide the tools to enable clubs to make a smooth transition between incoming and outgoing committees. We are currently working on this and will always be available to help clubs as the need arises.

With the increase in teams, it will put increasing pressure on clubs, the Junior Domestic Committee and the Referees Association to ensure that our competition continues to thrive. These groups are made of volunteers who put in countless hours of work to ensure our members are getting the best experience of competing in basketball that we can provide. To all of them I would like to give them our thanks for a job well done for without our volunteers we don’t have a competition.

Peter CameronJunior Domestic ChairmanKnox Basketball

senior domesticThe Senior Domestic competition keeps going from strength to strength. In the 2017 Summer Season we had 361 teams with 3981 registered players within the competition and in the 2017 Winter Season we had 364 teams with 4016 players registered. Our aim is to continue growing these numbers and being able to provide a friendly and competitive competition for all of our members.

Our strong rapport with all team representatives has helped KBI maintain a competition that is enjoyable for all players within Knox. Our members are coming regularly to us with suggestions to improve the competition going forward. This is a great sign of assurance and that we have a culture that is free to share ideas to improve the customer experience at Knox Basketball. Our Board values this input and continues to be committed to the senior competition going forward.

I would like to personally thank Dean Andrews & Lisa Bloore for their hard work that they both do for the competition on a weekly basis. Without their contribution to the Senior Domestic Competition it would not function the way it does. On behalf of all the teams and members thank you, Dean & Lisa.

Finally to all the teams thank you for the on going support in playing in our competition. In 2018 we are looking to continue to improve the product and the involvement for each and every team, player and spectator. Thank you for your on-going support.

SENIOR DOMESTIC PREMIERS


2016-17 has seen the continuation of the “Player Development for the Future” philosophy that is equipping our Juniors with a skill set incorporating Defensive Principles and Transition Offensive. Already, we are seeing the 2018 Senior Raider Teams filled with our Junior members. The pathway from Domestic to Senior is growing stronger by the year, this is the primary purpose of our Junior Raider Program. Coaches are continuing to embrace the direction of Common Policy & Teachings, that helps the players with a consistent and focussed purpose.

In the 2016/2017 season we had 39 Junior Raider Teams. Teams qualified for competition throughout the VJBL Mapping.

I would like to open this year’s Thank You’s to the Volunteers of the Knox Junior Raider Committee members who have worked behind the scenes to ensure Knox Junior Raiders is a success. To Jade, Annalise, Lisa, Drey, Leanne, Rachel and Nikki, an enormous THANK YOU for all the work you do and the team effort that is behind our program.

Our Knox Junior Raiders program receives great support from the administrative staff of Knox Basketball. To Stephen, Leanne, Toni, Dean, Nathan, Joan, Sue, Xavier and Michelle your assistance in so many areas is very much appreciated (especially Michelle at 7:30am Sundays). We have relied on your support, advice and assistance (+ Bacon Egg & Caffeine) many times throughout the season.

Thank You to our long serving door keepers Pat and Margaret, plus the assistants that have helped them, who have ensured that the Friday night competition ran smoothly and efficiently.

The VBRA (Knox Branch) supervisor Mitch Kennedy, through our panel referees and also local Friday night Referees to support our program and ensure we more than meet the VJBL requirements.

We also acknowledge the guidance and encouragement received from The Board. All these people provide strong support and encouragement which enables us to continue to develop all players within the representative program.

As with any organisation we could not operate effectively without a wonderful group of volunteers. Our team managers are vital to our program and all do a wonderful job throughout the year. Not only on a Friday night when they are committed to the organisation of their team (and often the coach as well) but also during the week when they are called on to undertake other organisational tasks, which are equally important to the smooth running of our program. On behalf of the committee our sincere thanks to you all.Team Managers are an integral part of any Club. They form the pathway for communication and without them, Coaches get distracted from their role, which is to help the kids.

Our program could not run without you all - both the Coaches and their wonderful Assistant Coaches alike. The time and effort you put into your coaching and the development of all players is very much appreciated by everyone. We are truly blessed to have some of the best Coaches in Victoria.

Junior Raiders would also like to acknowledge the assistance and support given by our Senior Raider Players their regular attendance at games and training has been much appreciated.

JUNIOR RAIDERS’ REPORT


Last, but not least, is our Senior Coaching Panel. Matt Shanahan – Coaching DirectorBedrich Fliszar – Girls Co-ordinatorDarryl McDonald – Boys Co-ordinatorThese guys give countless hours behind the scenes, as well as their direct involvement in coaching the coaches to the betterment of our kids. They have to make the hard calls along the way, but the interest of child development and achieving their potential, is always at the forefront of any decisions made.

The following Junior Raider Players are applauded for their achievement at State and National LevelJoshua Woodford (B16/1) – Boys VIC Metro State Championship (WA) – Australian Crocs Selection CampGeorgia Baldwin (G16/1) – Girls VIC Metro State Championship + Australian Indigenous Team played in Canada.Zoe Jenkins (G16/1) – Girls VIC Metro State ChampionshipKeeley Evans (G16/1) – Girls VIC Metro State Championship (Injured could not participate)Eliza Hollingsworth (G18/1) – Metro State U18 Girls Championship + Invite to 2017 Australian Development CampShae Lovelace (G18/1) – Metro State U18 Girls Championship.

The following all commenced their path into Victorian State Teams, at 2017 Southern Cross Challenge for U14 & U15 players.Luke Guerra, Blake Stratton, Adam Barnes, Tejaye Kleverkamp, Ivan Rajher, Harry Johnson. Meg Robinson, Olivia Morris, Alannah Chatfield, Matilda Hardy, Haylee Brebner, Charlise Dunn, Teisha Shadwell.Many others represented schools in State Championships, but one highlight is Oliver Ball, who made Australian Basketball Development Team, who toured in USA.

Lastly, a very special mention to Teisha Shadwell, who played in our successful U14 Girls National Champion Team (2016), became injured. Along with a broken hand, Teisha also returned from Nationals with breaks in both her feet- 2 breaks in her left foot navicular bone and 1 large break in her right foot navicular bone. While her hand healed well, her feet have not.At Christmas, Teisha was advised that she will not be able to play able bodied basketball again due to the high risk of permanent disability. In the interest of improving her wellbeing Teisha was encouraged to try wheelchair basketball hoping it would enable her to be back on the courts she has called home for over half of her life. She loved it!! Teisha made this her focus and trained hard. Within just a few weeks she was playing for Kilsyth’s domestic league. After just 6 weeks, Teisha had been invited to train with the Kevin Coombes Cup National team, Kilsyth’s woman’s national league and with the Australian Gliders team. She was classified as a 4.5 with a disability in time to play in the woman’s national league this year. Teisha worked so hard to improve and played an amazing first WNWBL season. She was awarded the WNWBL’s best new talent for 2017. Her efforts didn’t go unnoticed and during the season the Australian Paralympic coach approached her and she has been invited to attend the Australian camp in October in QLD in preparation for the under 23’s championships. She has also been told she is a chance to make the Australian team for Tokyo’s 2020 Paralympics. To say her parents are proud of the maturity and resilience Teisha has shown, would be a gross understatement.

We, KJR too, are proud of you Teisha.

JUNIOR RAIDERS - BOYS


The Knox Basketball Senior Raiders program continued to go from strength to strength during our 2017 season.

The State Championship Men’s Team continued to be respected as one of the top three teams in the competition, finishing the season with a 17 - 5 win/loss record and placed second on the ladder at the end of the regular season. The boys fell short during the finals to a tough Waverley outfit, losing the series 2 - 0.

Our State Championship Women's Team had another solid season. Due to the illness of head coach Robbie Baldwin, we brought in Matt Shanahan to take the reins for the remainder of the season. The girls managed to stay focused and finished the season with a 14 – 6 win/loss record, finishing in fourth place. The team battled hard in a three game series against the eventual champs, Sunbury. The Knox Raiders won game one, but unfortunately lost the series 2 - 1.

Our Youth League Men battled hard all season. The team was undersized competing against bigger bodies every game but credit goes to Dale Crotty, the coaching staff and to all of the players for always going out and competing every game. During the season we exposed some of our Junior Raiders players to Senior basketball which will put the team in good position for the season 2018. The team finished the regular season with a 13- 9 win/loss record, finishing fourth on the ladder. In the finals the boys fell short to Bulleen but we couldn’t have been prouder of their efforts all season.The Youth League Women’s season was again about exposing our Junior players to the Senior competition. We achieved this by seeing 18 Junior Raiders girls play throughout the 2017 season. The Youth League Women’s Team finished the season with a 12 - 10 win/loss record, seeing them finish third overall. Unfortunately, the ladies fell short to a very tall Melbourne Tigers team in the elimination final.

Our goals for both of our Youth League teams is to develop and expose the Knox Raiders Juniors to the physicality of the Senior competition. This is to assist in preparing them to compete at a State Championship level or higher in years to come. Both the Men’s and Women’s coaching staff have done a tremendous job in nurturing and developing these young athletes.

We also had some great individual performances in our 2017 season, including:• Darryl McDonald – SCM Coach of the Year• Adam Thoseby – SCM All Star Five• Dylan Hare – Defensive Player of the Year• Leah Santomaggio – YLW MVP and All Star Five• Adrian Tomada - YLM Player of the Year • Malik Meunier - YLM All Star Five

Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2017



The financial statements cover Knox Basketball Inc. as an individual entity. Knox Basketball Inc. is a not for profit Association incorporated in Victoria under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012.

The functional and presentation currency of Knox Basketball Inc. is Australian dollars.

Comparatives are consistent with prior years, unless otherwise stated.

1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 of Victoria and associated regulations, as appropriate for not for profit oriented entities.

The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.

Significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and are consistent with prior reporting periods unless otherwise stated.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Revenue and other income

Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Association and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below, has been satisfied.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is presented net of returns, discounts and rebates.

Revenue from trading activities and membership fees is recognised in the period to which it relates.

Subscription fees received in advance are recognised as a prepaid revenue liability and amortised as income over the period to which the subscription relates.

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

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

(b) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

5

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Income Tax

As the Association is a charitable institution in terms of subsection 50 5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, as amended, it is exempt from paying income tax.

(d) Leases

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all of the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight line basis over the life of the lease term.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Bank overdrafts also form part of cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows and are presented within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.

(f) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the first in first out basis and is net of any rebates and discounts received. Net realisable value is estimated using the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date and inventory is written down through an obsolescence provision if necessary.

(g) Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised initially using trade date accounting, i.e. on the date that the Association becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On initial recognition, all financial instruments are measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss where transaction costs are expensed as incurred).

Financial Assets

The Association’s financial assets are divided into the following categories which are described in detail below:

• loans and receivables.

Financial assets are assigned to the different categories on initial recognition, depending on the characteristics of the instrument and its purpose. A financial instrument’s category is relevant to the way it is measured and whether any resulting income and expenses are recognised in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the ‘finance income’ or ‘finance costs’ line item respectively.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of goods and services to customers but also incorporate other types of contractual monetary assets.

6






(g) Financial instruments (continued)

After initial recognition these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Any change in their value is recognised in profit or loss.

The Association’s trade and other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments.

Significant receivables are considered for impairment on an individual asset basis when they are past due at the reporting date or when objective evidence is received that a specific counterparty will default.

The amount of the impairment is the difference between the net carrying amount and the present value of the future expected cash flows associated with the impaired receivable.

In some circumstances, the Association renegotiates repayment terms with customers which may lead to changes in the timing of the payments, the Association does not necessarily consider the balance to be impaired, however assessment is made on a case by case basis.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities depending on the purpose for which the liability was acquired.

The Association‘s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables, which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of the reporting period the Association assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.

Financial assets at amortised cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate.

Impairment on loans and receivables is reduced through the use of an allowance accounts, all other impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost are taken directly to the asset.

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in profit or loss.

(h) Property, Plant and Equipment

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Costs include purchase price, other directly attributable costs and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and restoring the asset, where applicable.

7


(h) Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the assets useful life to the Association, commencing when the asset is ready for use.

Leased assets and leasehold improvements are amortised over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or their estimated useful life.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are shown below:

Fixed asset class Depreciation rateBasketball Equipment 10 - 50% Fixtures and Fittings 2.5 - 30% Motor Vehicles 22 - 25% Office Equipment 10 - 66% Leasehold Improvements 2.5 - 6.67% Canteen Equipment 2.5 - 100%

At the end of each annual reporting period, the depreciation method, useful life and residual value of each asset is reviewed. Any revisions are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate.

(i) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method of amortisation and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Right to use Facilities

Right to use facilities at Fairhills High School and State Basketball Centre (SBC) are amortised over the life of the leases being 30 years and 15 years respectively.

(j) Impairment of non financial assets

At the end of each reporting period the Association determines whether there is any evidence of impairment for its non financial assets.

Where this indicator exists and regardless for goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets and intangible assets not yet available for use, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the relevant cash generating unit (CGU) is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash generating unit.

8






(j) Impairment of non financial assets (continued)

Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Reversal indicators are considered in subsequent periods for all assets which have suffered an impairment loss, except for goodwill.

(k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Association during the reporting period, which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

(l) Employee benefits

Short term employee benefits

Provision is made for the Association’s obligation for short term employee benefits. Short term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages and salaries. Short term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.

The Association’s obligations for short term employee benefits such as wages and salaries are recognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position.

Other long term employee benefits

Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Upon the remeasurement of obligations for other long term employee benefits, the net change in the obligation is recognised in profit or loss as a part of employee benefits expense.

The Association’s obligations for long term employee benefits are presented as non current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the Association does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.

Defined contribution schemes

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods in which services are provided by employees.

9


(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Association has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the outflow required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used is a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the unwinding of the discount is taken to finance costs in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

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).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

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

(o) Joint arrangement

Joint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.

Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method.

Joint arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The Association’s interests in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from sales to a joint operation are recognised to the extent of the other parties’ interests. When the Association makes purchases from a joint operation, it does not recognise its share of the gains and losses from the joint arrangement until it resells those goods/assets to a third party.

(p) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

The Association has adopted all standards which became effective for the first time at 31 December 2017, the adoption of these standards has not caused any material adjustments to the reported financial position, performance or cash flow of the Association.

10






(q) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The AASB has issued new and amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Association has decided not to early adopt these Standards. The following table summarises those future requirements, and their impact on the Association where the standard is relevant:

Standard Name Effective date for entity

Requirements Impact

AASB 15 Revenue from contracts with customers Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

AASB 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle of the new Standard being for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The changes in revenue recognition requirements in AASB 15 is likely to cause changes to the timing and amount of revenue recorded in the financial statements.

Accounting policy changes will arise in timing of revenue recognition, treatment of contracts costs and contracts which contain a financing element.

AASB 15 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively (for example, service revenue and contract modifications) and improve guidance for multiple‑element arrangements.

AASB 16 Leases Annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2019

AASB 16 will cause the majority of leases of an entity to be brought onto the statement of financial position. There are limited exceptions relating to short-term leases and low value assets which may remain off-balance sheet.

Whilst the impact of AASB 16 has not yet been quantified, the entity currently has operating leases which we anticipate will be brought onto the statement of financial position.

Interest and amortisation expense will increase and rental expense will decrease.

The calculation of the lease liability will take into account appropriate discount rates, assumptions about lease term and increases in lease payments.

A corresponding right to use asset will be recognised which will be amortised over the term of the lease.

Rent expense will no longer be shown, the profit and loss impact of the leases will be through amortisation and interest charges.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018

Significant revisions to the classification and measurement of financial assets, reducing the number of categories and simplifying the measurement choices, including the removal of impairment testing of assets measured at fair value. The amortised cost model is available for debt assets meeting both business model and cash flow characteristics tests. All investments in equity instruments using AASB 9 are to be measured at fair value.

No impact on reported financial performance or position is expected.

Amends measurement rules for financial liabilities that the entity elects to measure at fair value through profit and loss. Changes in fair value attributable to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income.

AASB 9 includes a new approach to hedge accounting that is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with risk management activities undertaken by entities when hedging financial and non‑financial risks.

11


(q) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations (continued)

Standard Name Effective date for entity

Requirements Impact

AASB 1058 Income of NFP Entities Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

AASB 1058 supersedes all the income recognition requirements relating to private sector NFP entities, and the majority of income recognition requirements relating to public sector NFP entities, previously in AASB 1004 Contribution.. The timing of income recognition depends on whether such a transaction gives rise to a liability or other performance obligation (a promise to transfer a good or service), or a contribution by owners, related to an asset (such as cash or another asset) received by an entity.

Each revenue stream, including grant agreements are currently being reviewed to determine the impact of AASB 1058.

AASB 1058 applies when a NFP entity receives volunteer services or enters into other transactions where the consideration to acquire an asset is significantly less than the fair value of the asset principally to enable the entity to further its objectives. In the latter case, the entity recognises and measures the asset at fair value in accordance with the applicable Australian Accounting Standard (eg AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment).

We anticipate that some grant agreements which were previously recognised immediately on receipt may be able to be deferred as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Upon initial recognition of the asset, this Standard requires the entity to consider whether any other financial statement elements (called ‘related amounts’) should be recognised in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standard, such as:

(a) contributions by owners;

(b) revenue, or a contract liability arising from a contract with a customer;

(c) a lease liability;

(d) a financial instrument; or

(e) a provision.

If the transaction is a transfer of a financial asset to enable an entity to acquire or construct a recognisable nonfinancial asset to be controlled by the entity (ie an in-substance acquisition of a nonfinancial asset), the entity recognises a liability for the excess of the fair value of the transfer over any related amounts recognised. The entity recognises income as it satisfies its obligations under the transfer similarly to income recognition in relation to performance obligations under AASB 15.

If the transaction does not enable an entity to acquire or construct a recognisable non‑financial asset to be controlled by the entity, then any excess of the initial carrying amount of the recognised asset over the related amounts is recognised as income.

3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Members of the Committee make estimates and judgements during the preparation of these financial statements regarding assumptions about current and future events affecting transactions and balances.

These estimates and judgements are based on the best information available at the time of preparing the financial statements, however as additional information is known then the actual results may differ from the estimates.

The significant estimates and judgements made have been described below.

Key estimates - impairment of property, plant and equipment

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

The Capital Development Reserve has been established to recognise the Fairhills and SBC development by transfer of the Future Development Fund and Lease Reserve. Amortisation expense of Fairhills and SBC Right to Use facilities are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. Such amortisation is then recouped by an offsetting charge against the Capital Development Reserve on an annual basis. During the year ended 31 December 2017, the Committee has reassessed the existence of the Capital Development Reserve, as a result, on 31 December 2017, pursuant to a resolution of the Committee, the Capital Development Reserve of $1,367,957 was released to accumulated surplus.

The stadium lease at Boronia is a non cancellable lease with a five year term that initially commenced on 1 January 2007, with 2 further terms of five years. The SBC stadium at Wantirna South is a non cancellable lease with a five year term that commenced in June 2012, with 2 further terms of five years.

18 Capital and Leasing Commitments (continued)

(b) Leases

Fairhills

The Association had entered into a joint user agreement in 2009 to commit up to $1,000,000 for the construction of a two court stadium at Fairhills High School which was completed in early 2010. The committed capital costs are capitalised as a Right to Use Facilities (Refer Note 11) and are amortised over the effective life of the lease being 30 years. There is an annual contribution towards maintenance of the construction cost being $20,000 including GST which has been expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Eastern Recreation Precinct (ERP)

The Association has entered into an agreement for the management and operation of the SBC stadium at ERP. The Association has contributed $600,000 in 2011 towards construction costs. These costs have been capitalised as a Right to Use Facilities (Refer Note 11) and are amortised over the effective life of the lease being 15 years (5 years with two further 5 year options). Under the agreement, the Association is required to pay an annual licence fee to Knox City Council of $254,000 (plus CPI) for the first three years post construction and the following three years at a maximum of $380,000 per annum, subject to a financial performance review of the State Basketball Centre in partnership with Knox Council. The Association will also contribute an annual amount for asset renewal requirements for the first three years being $75,000 and the next two years being $100,000 and $100,000 each year after that for the duration of the lease.

19 Financial Risk Management and Fair Value Management

The Association’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable.

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the accounting policies to these financial statements, are as follows:

Note 2017 2016$ $

Financial AssetsCash and cash equivalents 7 349,916 313,216 Trade and other receivables 8 223,241 224,887 Total financial assets 573,157 538,103

Fair value measurement

The carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.

The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial liabilities.


Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the year ended 31 December 2017 20 Key Management Personnel Disclosures

The total remuneration paid to key management personnel of the Association is $416,926 (2016: $139,179).
