An agreement signed between the shareholders and value accounts Overseas Ltd grants Value Accounts
Holdings Ltd the right to appoint, remove and set the remuneration of management responsible for directing
the relevant activities. A 67% majority vote is required to change this agreement, which cannot be achieved
without the group’s consent as the group holds 45% of the voting rights.
(ii) Non-consolidation of entities in which the group holds more than 50%
The directors have also determined that they do not control a company called value accounts Trustee Pty Ltd
even though value accounts Holdings Ltd owns 100% of the issued capital of this entity. Value Accounts Trustee
Pty Ltd is the trustee of the Value Accounts Employees’ Superannuation Fund. It is not a controlled entity of
Value Accounts Holdings Ltd, because Value Accounts Holdings Ltd is not exposed, and has no right, to
variable returns from this entity and is not able to use its power over the entity to affect those returns.

IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of Interests in other Entities’: the standard requires entities to disclose significant
judgements and assumptions made in determining whether the entity controls, jointly controls, significantly
influences or has some other interests in other entities. Entities are also required to provide more disclosures
around certain ‘structured entities’. Adoption of the standard has impacted the Fund’s level of disclosures in
certain of the above-noted areas, but has not impacted the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.
IFRS 10, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, IFRS 11, ‘Joint Arrangements’, IAS 27 (revised 2011), ‘Separate
Financial Statements’, IAS 28 (revised 2011), ‘Associates and Joint Ventures’ and the ‘Transition Guidance
(Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12)’ have also been early adopted, as required by IFRS 12; however,
these standards and amendments have had no significant impact on the Fund.
Structured entities
A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant
factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only,
and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. A structured entity often has
some or all of the following features or attributes: (a) restricted activities; (b) a narrow and well-defined
objective, such as to provide investment opportunities for investors by passing on risks and rewards associated
with the assets of the structured entity to investors; (c) insufficient equity to permit the structured entity to
finance its activities without subordinated financial support; and (d) financing in the form of multiple
contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches).
The Fund has determined that all of its investments in other funds (‘Investee Funds’) are investments in
unconsolidated structured entities. The Fund invests in Investee Funds whose objectives range from achieving
medium- to long-term capital growth and whose investment strategy does not include the use of leverage. The
Investee Funds are managed by unrelated asset managers and apply various investment strategies to
accomplish their respective investment objectives. The Investee Funds finance their operations by issuing
redeemable shares which are puttable at the holder’s option and entitle the holder to a proportional stake in the
respective fund’s net assets.
The change in fair value of each Investee Fund is included in the statement of comprehensive income in ‘Net
gains/(losses) on financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss’.
PwC 13
Practical guide Draft
The right of the Fund to request redemption of its investments in Investee Funds ranges in frequency from
weekly to semi-annually.
The exposure to investments in Investee Funds at fair value, by strategy employed, is disclosed in the
following table.
These investments are included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the statement of
financial position.
119,520
*The fair value of financial assets (CU119,520) is included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
in the statement of financial position
**This represents the entity’s percentage interest in the total net assets of the Investee Funds
PwC 14
Practical guide Draft
The Fund’s maximum exposure to loss from its interests in Investee Funds is equal to the total fair value of its
investments in Investee Funds.
Once the Fund has disposed of its shares in an Investee Fund, it ceases to be exposed to any risk from that
Investee Fund.
The Fund’s investment strategy entails trading in other funds on a regular basis. Total purchases in Investee
Funds during the year ended 30 June 2014 was CU35,345,000. The Fund intends to continue opportunistic
trading in other funds. As at 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2013, there were no capital commitment obligations
and no amounts due to Investee Funds for unsettled purchases.
During the year ended 30 June 2014, total net losses incurred on investments in Investee Funds were
CU17,381,000.
Commentary – IFRS 7
The disclosure requirements of IFRS 7 and IFRS 12 might overlap to some extent. However, the intention is
that both standards complement each other. [IFRS 12 paras BC72–BC74]. Therefore, in situations where a
fund invests in other funds, which fall within the definition of a structured entity, additional disclosures
requirements will result from the application of IFRS 12.

Appendix 3: Illustration of
disclosures for interests in joint
arrangements and associates
Illustrated below are some of the key disclosure requirements for the example scenario presented.
Please note:, this is not a complete listing – these are example extracts only.
All joint arrangements and associates have the same financial year end as the reporting entity.
None of the joint arrangements or associates are measured at fair value.
None of the entity’s investments in the joint arrangements or associates are impaired.
There are no unrecognised losses in relation to any equity accounted investments.
There are no changes to the facts and circumstances during the period that would lead to a change in
classification of the joint arrangements or associates.
The reporting entity has three material arrangements for disclosure: Kangaroo Pty Ltd (associate); Koala
Pty Ltd (joint venture); and Crocodile Venture Agreement (joint operation).
The reporting entity also has interests in five individually immaterial associates that are accounted for using
the equity method.
The group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share
of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative
post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable
from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
Where the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any
other unsecured long-term receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred
obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the
group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides
evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed, where
necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.
PwC 16
Practical guide Draft
IFRS 11 para 14
IFRS 11 para 20
Where the group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which
include any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the group’s net investment in the joint
ventures), the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on
behalf of the joint ventures.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the
group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides
evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary, to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the group.
IFRS 11 para 24
PwC 17
Practical guide Draft
The parties to the arrangement take 60% of the output produced by the venture, with the remaining 40% being
sold to third party customers. The level of output taken by the parties to the joint arrangement is not considered
substantial to indicate that the arrangement has been set up primarily for the provision of output to the parties
and that they have direct rights to substantially all of the economic benefits of the arrangement. Similarly, the
parties are not considered to be substantially the only source of cash flows contributing to the continuity of the
arrangement, indicating that the parties do not have a direct obligation for the liabilities relating to the
arrangement.

of another entity (that is, an investee as described in paras 5 and 6 of IFRS 10).
The entity is also required to disclose the significant judgements and assumptions where
there are changes in facts and circumstances such that the conclusion about whether it has
control changes during the reporting period.

determining that:
a) it does not control another entity, even though it holds more than half of the voting
rights of the other entity;
b) it controls another entity, even though it holds less than half of the voting rights of the
other entity; and
c) it is an agent or a principal (see paras B58–B75 of IFRS 10).

determining that:
a) it does not have significant influence, even though it holds 20% or more of the voting
rights of another entity; and

Interests in subsidiaries
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial
statements to understand:
a) the composition of the group; and
b) the interest that non-controlling interests have in the group’s activities and cash flows –
that is, for each of its subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to
the reporting entity, it discloses:
i. the name of the subsidiary;
ii. the principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if different from the
principal place of business) of the subsidiary;
iii. the proportion of ownership interests held by non-controlling interests;
iv. the proportion of voting rights held by non-controlling interests, if different from
the proportion of ownership interests held;
v. the profit or loss allocated to non-controlling interests of the subsidiary during the
reporting period;
vi. accumulated non-controlling interests of the subsidiary at the end of the reporting
period; and
vii. summarised financial information about the subsidiary, as follows:
(a) dividends paid to non-controlling interests; and
(b) summarised financial information about the assets, liabilities, profit or loss and
cash flows of the subsidiary that enables users to understand the interest that non-
controlling interests have in the group’s activities and cash flows. That
information might include, but is not limited to, current assets, non-current assets,
current liabilities, non-current liabilities, revenue, profit or loss and total
comprehensive income.
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial
statements to evaluate the nature and extent of significant restrictions on its ability to access
or use assets, and settle liabilities, of the group. In particular, an entity shall disclose:
a) significant restrictions (such as statutory, contractual and regulatory restrictions) on its
ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the group, such as:
i. those that restrict the ability of a parent or its subsidiaries to transfer cash or other
assets to (or from) other entities within the group; and
ii. guarantees or other requirements that might restrict dividends and other capital
distributions from being paid, or loans and advances from being made or repaid, to
(or from) other entities within the group;
b) the nature and extent to which protective rights of non-controlling interests can
significantly restrict the entity’s ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities
of the group, such as where a parent is obliged to settle liabilities of a subsidiary before
settling its own liabilities, or the approval of non-controlling interests is required either
to access the assets or to settle the liabilities of a subsidiary; and
c) the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the assets and
liabilities to which those restrictions apply.

(Yes/No*/NA)
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial
statements to evaluate the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in
consolidated structured entities, by disclosing:
a) the terms of any contractual arrangements that could require the parent or its
subsidiaries to provide financial support to a consolidated structured entity, including
events or circumstances that could expose the reporting entity to a loss (for example,
liquidity arrangements or credit rating triggers associated with obligations to purchase
assets of the structured entity or provide financial support);
b) if, during the reporting period, a parent or any of its subsidiaries has, without having a
contractual obligation to do so, provided financial or other support to a consolidated
structured entity (for example, by purchasing assets of or instruments issued by the
structured entity):

or its subsidiaries assisted the structured entity in obtaining financial support; and
ii. the reasons for providing the support;
c) if, during the reporting period, a parent or any of its subsidiaries has, without having a
contractual obligation to do so, provided financial or other support to a previously
unconsolidated structured entity and that provision of support resulted in the entity
controlling the structured entity, an explanation of the relevant factors in reaching that
decision; and
d) any current intentions to provide financial or other support to a consolidated structured
entity, including intentions to assist the structured entity in obtaining financial support.
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial
statements to evaluate the consequences of changes in its ownership interest in a subsidiary
that do not result in a loss of control, by disclosing a schedule that shows the effects on the
equity attributable to owners of the parent of any changes in its ownership interest in a
subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control.
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its consolidated financial
statements to evaluate the consequences of losing control of a subsidiary during the
reporting period, by disclosing:
a) any gain or loss arising from the loss of control, calculated in accordance with paragraph
25 of IFRS 10;
b) the portion of that gain or loss attributable to measuring any investment retained in the
former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost; and
c) the line item(s) in profit or loss in which the gain or loss is recognised (if not presented
separately).

unconsolidated structured entities, including, but not limited to, the nature, purpose,
size and activities of the structured entity and how the structured entity is financed.
b) If an entity has sponsored an unconsolidated structured entity for which it does not

format, unless another format is more appropriate, and classify its sponsoring activities
into relevant categories.
An entity shall disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate
the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with its interests in unconsolidated
structured entities, as below:
In accordance with paragraph 29 of IFRS 12, an entity shall disclose in tabular format, unless
another format is more appropriate, a summary of:
a) the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in its financial statements
relating to its interests in unconsolidated structured entities;
b) the line items in the statement of financial position in which those assets and liabilities
are recognised;
c) the amount that best represents the entity’s maximum exposure to loss from its interests
in unconsolidated structured entities, including how the maximum exposure to loss is
determined; if an entity cannot quantify its maximum exposure to loss from its interests
in unconsolidated structured entities, it shall disclose that fact and the reasons; and
d) a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the entity that relate
to its interests in unconsolidated structured entities and the entity’s maximum exposure
to loss from those entities.
If, during the reporting period, an entity has, without having a contractual obligation to do

previously had or currently has an interest (for example, by purchasing assets of or
instruments issued by the structured entity), the entity shall disclose:
a) the type and amount of support provided, including situations in which the entity
assisted the structured entity in obtaining financial support; and
b) the reasons for providing the support.

The information required in this row includes information about an entity’s exposure to risk
from involvement that it had with unconsolidated structured entities in previous periods (for
example, sponsoring the structured entity), even if the entity no longer has any contractual
involvement with the structured entity at the reporting date.
For each joint arrangement and associate that is material to the reporting entity, the entity
shall disclose:
a) the name of the joint arrangement or associate;
b) the nature of the entity’s relationship with the joint arrangement or associate;
c) the principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if applicable and different
from the principal place of business) of the joint arrangement or associate; and
d) the proportion of ownership interest or participating share held by the entity and, if
different, the proportion of voting rights held (if applicable).
For each joint venture and associate that is material to the reporting entity, the entity shall
disclose:
a) whether the investment in the joint venture or associate is measured using the equity
method or fair value;
b) if the joint venture or associate is accounted for using the equity method, the fair value
of its investment in the joint venture or associate, if there is a quoted market price for
the investment;
c) dividends received from the joint venture or associate; and
d) summarised financial information** for the joint venture or associate, as presented
within the joint venture’s or associate’s IFRS financial statements (and not the entity’s

non-current liabilities;
revenue;
profit or loss from continuing operations;
post-tax profit or loss from discontinued operations;

total comprehensive income.
** If the entity accounts for its interest in the joint venture or associate using the equity method, the equity
accounted investment could be adjusted by the entity (for example, to align accounting policies). The
summarised financial information of the joint venture or associate should include these adjustments and a
reconciliation between the summarised financial information presented and the carrying amount of its interest
in the joint venture or associate.
Where an entity measures its interest in the joint venture or associate at fair value, and IFRS financial
statements are not prepared by the joint venture or associate (and preparation on that basis would be
impracticable or cause undue cost), the entity is required to disclose the basis on which the summarised
financial information has been prepared.
