14 Lasseters Annual Report 2013

notes to sHAreHolders

“The group’s core land-based hotel and casino operations stayed resilient and remained profitable, contributing 56.9% or aud43.2 million to the group’s revenue in fy2013.”

THE yEAR IN REvIEW

on behalf of the Board of directors, i would like to present the annual report of Lasseters international holdings Limited (“Lasseters” or collectively known as the “group”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 (“fy2013”).

fy2013 continued to be a demanding year for the group, impacted by general macro-economic conditions globally. This has resulted in weak market sentiments across most industries around the world with the strong aussie dollar adding pressure to the Tourism market. frequent interstate Travelers and Meetings, incentives, Conferencing and Exhibitions (MiCE) market looked to prioritize disposable income and have found alternative travelling destinations outside australia in some cases to be cheaper.

amidst the bearish market sentiment and unpredictable consumer spending, the group recorded a marginal increase in its revenue at aud75.8 million in fy2013 as compared to aud75.6 million for financial year ended 30 June 2012 (“fy2012”).

for the reporting period, the group successfully disposed of holiday inn on flinders, Melbourne (“hif”) and Lasseters wharf Casino (“LwC”) on 10 May 2013 and 23 July 2013 respectively and on 19 July 2013, contracted for the sale of Cypress Lakes resort (“CLr”) as part of the group’s overall rationalisation strategy to dispose of some of its loss making entities as well as unlock asset value and reduced the group’s gearing level.

The proposed CLr sale and a write down on the assets value in the wellness business has resulted in the group having to impair (“non-cash” item) its combined assets value of aud6.4 million in fy2013, a requirement under the accounting standard. as a result of which, the group posted a higher net loss attributable to shareholders of aud11.4 million in fy2013. without the impairment, the group net loss would be aud5.0 million, an improvement of 26.5% as compared to a net loss of aud6.8 million in fy2012.

however, the group’s core land-based hotel and casino operations has remained resilient and remained profitable, contributing 56.9% or aud43.2 million to the group revenue, which reflects an increase of 8.7% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) from fy2012.

our expansion plan to transform the gaming operations, Lasseters hotel Casino (“LhC”) in alice Springs, australia into a resort style gaming destination is progressing well with the final development on hotel and casino reception areas, commercial gym and spa scheduled for completion in July 2014. we are pleased to report that in fy2013, the new 66 premium rooms contributed a y-o-y growth of 25.6% to the room revenue at the property. Contributions from completed Vip gaming Lounge and newly theme restaurant “Tali” (literally carrying the meaning of “desert dune”) will create a positive effect to the group’s result for the current financial year. with stabilisation and full completion of the expansion works, LhC will further enhance its status as the “cenTre of entertainment” in alice Springs and uplift its position amongst its competitors nationally.

while the group remains focused to build on its core business, fy2013 is a rationalisation year with the group successfully disposed of holiday inn on flinders, Melbourne (“hif”) and Lasseters wharf Casino (“LwC”) on 10 May 2013 and 23 July 2013 respectively. These disposals have allowed the group to unlock its asset value and utilise part of the proceeds to pare down group gearing level. as announced, on 19 July 2013, the group contracted for the sale of CLr with hunter Valley (CL) Management pty Ltd. This accretive transaction further enable the group to dispose of loss making business and together with the value realised from hif and LwC offers the group a flexibility to reallocate its resources efficiently and enhance shareholders’ value going forward.

in Malaysia, the group’s maiden property development business arm, Merry palms Sdn Bhd (“MpSB”) continues to trade positively with 70% of the units sold and the project is scheduled to be handed over to the purchasers by end 2014. MpSB is currently exploring to acquire additional land bank to add on to its development portfolio.

LOOkING AHEAD

with the recent change in government in australia, 2014 is going to an interesting year. we hope that, the new government will review and table positive business centric policies and lend its support to the business community at large. This is particularly so, when the global sentiment remains weak and Europe is still undergoing a difficult economic recovery.

nonetheless, we remain dedicated and will continue to keep track of regional casino developments by identifying opportunities that may lead to shareholder accretive transactions, solidifying our business fundamentals, reinforcing the group’s position in its core gaming markets.

we remain cautious and adopt a conservative approach in steering ahead. The group shall continue to revisit and manage its business strategies at effective pulse that would work efficiently and effectively within the difficult market conditions. APPRECIATION

i would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to my fellow directors for the guidance and encouragement in overcoming obstacles over this challenging period, management and staff for their unwavering commitment and dedication to Lasseters, to business associates and partners, bankers, suppliers and customers for their continuous support to the group. To all my loyal shareholders, it was a privilege to obtain your unwavering support and votes of confidence and i look forward to meeting you at the upcoming annual general Meeting.

Thank you.

17Lasseters Annual Report 2013

reVIeW oF operAtIons

Lasseters Hotel Casino (“LHC”)Lasseters hotel Casino remains the cenTre of entertainment in alice Springs and the aud35.0 million transformation plan into a resort style gaming destination continues to progress well during the financial year ended 30 June 2013 (“fy2013”).

Sixty six (66) new premium rooms, a resort style pool and back of house plants and equipment were added to the premises in fy2013. The new Vip gaming lounge and newly outback theme restaurant featuring a desert landscape will be operational in the 1st half of the next financial year. while the remaining main components of the development works comprising the hotel reception, fully equipped commercial gym and refurbish casino lobby is scheduled to complete in July 2014.

These added new venue facilities and service offerings will further enhance LhC as the cenTre of attractions in alice Springs, re-position and strengthen the Lasseters brand and lay a solid platform to stimulate revenue growth.

OPERATIONAL REvIEW

for the period under review, LhC achieved a year-on-year (“y-o-y”) increase of 6.7% to aud39.7 million as compared to financial year ended 30 June 2012 (“fy2012”) of aud37.2 million.

revenue from the gaming business continued to be the main driver contributing 55.0% or aud22.2 million in fy2013 (fy2012: 56.5% or aud21.4 million), a marginal improvement of aud0.8 million despite on-going construction disruption on the development work.

room division remains a key component on non-gaming revenue contribution, achieving an increase of 25.6% y-o-y to aud5.4 million in fy2013. This reflects the positive impact of the 66 new premium rooms. revenues from the food & Beverages (“f&B”), Convention Centre and others increased by 4.2% y-o-y to aud12.5 million in fy2013 as compared to aud12.0 million in fy2012. This again demonstrated management’s commitment to manage and mitigate risk associated with disruption on construction work through strategic theme change in the f&B outlets.

operating expenses increased by 7.5% to aud28.8 million in fy2013 as compared to aud26.8 million in fy2012. The increase is mainly due to cost associated with driving additional revenue to the new rooms. finance costs increased by aud1.2 million to aud3.8 million in fy2013 due to additional interest expense on completed new venue facilities.

as a result of which, LhC concluded in fy2013 with a profit before income tax and intercompany transaction of aud1.7 million as compared to aud2.6 million in fy2012.

18 Lasseters Annual Report 2013

Review of operations

OuTLOOk

The group shall continue to stay abreast of required casino development and identify opportunities that may lead to shareholders accretive transaction, strives to maximize resource deployment to achieve optimum productive efficiency, delivers revenue growth while at the same time adopting a vigilant watch over its cost structure and if required, realign the current operational practices to compliment new venue facilities.

The group believes that a transformed LhC will be able to stand out among its industry peers in terms of service offerings and experiential quality, bring the much-needed quality facilities to alice Springs as “a cenTe of entertainment”, improve its market share moving forward.

Lasseters Wharf Casino (“LWC”)Lasseters wharf Casino (“LwC”) is a premium boutique casino with a waterfront f&B outlet conveniently located on the edge of Lake wakatipu. LwC is situated in the exclusive lakeside Steamer wharf Complex, regarded as the most popular skiing holiday destination in new Zealand.

LwC holds one out of the 6 limited gaming licenses issued in new Zealand. The limited number of such licenses in new Zealand, a country rated as Tier-1 gaming jurisdiction made LwC a privileged business opportunity for the group.

OPERATIONAL REvIEW

revenue for LwC improved to aud2.9 million in fy2013 from aud2.6 million in fy2012, registering a 11.5% y-o-y increase. revenue from gaming operations increased by 19.8% y-o-y to

aud2.0 million while f&B revenue increased by 8.7% y-o-y to aud0.9 million in fy2013 respectively. despite weak market sentiment in new Zealand, performance of LwC remained resilient against the headwinds.

Expenses were held well across LwC with total operating expenses maintained fairly consistent at aud3.0 million in both fy2013 and fy2012. finance costs are held steady at aud0.07 million in fy2013.

for the period under review, LwC posted a net loss before income tax and intercompany transactions of aud0.03 million in fy2013 as compared to a net loss of aud0.4 million in fy2012.

OuTLOOk

as announced on 17 May 2013, the group had entered into a sale contract to dispose of Lasseters wharf Casino to SkyCity Entertainment group Limited for a consideration of aud4.1 million equivalent.

The sale was completed on 23 July 2013.

19Lasseters Annual Report 2013

Review of operations

Cypress Lakes Group (“CLGL”)Cypress Lakes group owns and operates a resort golf course, hotel, health retreat and spa businesses within australia.

as part of the cost reduction strategy, CLgL was voluntarily delisted from australian Securities Exchange on 9 december 2009.

OPERATIONS REvIEW

financial performance remained strenuous in light of the unpredictable consumer spending and bearish market sentiment that continues to dominate the australian market. CLgL’s revenue fell by 8.7% y-o-y to aud32.6 million in fy2013 from aud35.7 million in fy2012.

resort revenue contribution from rooms, food & beverages, convention centre and golf slid 7.6% y-o-y to aud10.9 million in fy2013 as compared to aud11.8 million in fy2012. The reduction is mainly due to drop in golf revenue and reduced room revenue arising from a lower average daily room rates of aud202.2 as compared to aud213.76 in fy2012 with occupancy rate remains fairly consistent to what was registered in previous corresponding period of approximately 55.0%.

health retreats and spa program revenue contribution decreased by 5.9% y-o-y to aud10.0 million in fy2013, with the health retreat segment receiving a total of 17,616 program guest nights in fy2013 as compared to 18,219 guests in fy2012. The hotel division under

hif contributed revenue of aud11.6 million for the 10 months to 10 May 2013.

Stringent cost measure and practice continues to be adhered to within CLgL and operating costs decreased by 4.1% y-o-y to aud33.2 million in fy2013 from aud34.6 million in fy2012. The drop is partly due to a 10 months consolidation effect on hif. finance costs dropped to aud4.1 million from aud4.9 million in fy2012, the savings in interest is mainly due to a repayment in bank borrowings from the proceeds received on the sale of hif.

for the period under review, CLgL recorded a net loss before income tax and intercompany transactions of aud10.5 million in fy2013 as compared to aud6.5 million in fy2012. The higher loss is mainly due to an exceptional item of aud6.4 million in the write down in asset value from the proposed Cypress Lakes resort sale and an impairment from the wellness business, as required under the accounting standard.

20 Lasseters Annual Report 2013

Review of operations

OuTLOOk

as announced, on 10 May 2013, CLgL successfully disposed of hif in Melbourne and the group had, on 19 July 2013, contracted for the sale of CLr as part of the group’s overall rationalisation strategy.

Moving forward and pending completion of CLr sale, CLgL shall concentrate to rebuild its health retreat and spa segment while acknowledging that the growth and business sustainability of the spa and wellness division will depend largely on its ability to maintain and grow its market share.

apart from investing in branding efforts in boasting market awareness of “The golden door”, the group remained committed to extend its service and product offerings through selective capital

investment programs to move up the value chain so as to remain relevant to market demand within the wellness regime. on 15 May 2013, Tgdw australia entered into a licensing agreement with Shine (aust) pty Ltd and transformed Tgdw from a wellness retreat to a boot camp facility, a well-known TV reality show on weight loss management under brand name “The Biggest Loser (TBL)”. Such move would enable Tgd australia to expand its product offering, remove competitions amongst its industry peers and create a positive spin on spill over of Tgd loyal guests from Tgdw to TgdE. The group is vigorously looking at various measures to value add and streamline Cypress’ assets, but not limiting to unlocking the assets if such actions could improve or contribute positively to the group’s overall performance.

Merry Palms Sdn bhd (“MPSb”)MpSB commenced its physical construction of a sixteen (16) units industrial factory lots, measuring 7 acres of a leasehold land in the first quarter of fy2013.

OPERATIONAL REvIEW

for the period under review, MpSB traded positively with 70% of the factory lots successfully sold. revenue and expenses for MpSB has not been recognised in fy2013 as ifrS requires the group

to adopt a completed contract method whereby revenue and expenses will only be recognised in the profit or loss account when significant risks and rewards of ownership on the property are transferred to the buyer.

OuTLOOk

The project is scheduled to be handed over to the purchasers by end 2014. MpSB is currently exploring to acquire additional land bank to add on to its development portfolio and the group believes that by tapping on the management’s wide experience in development and construction sectors, this property arm will generate additional revenue stream for the group, moving forward.

The primary functions of the Board are to provide stewardship for Lasseters and its subsidiaries (the “group”) and to enhance and protect long-term returns and value for its shareholders. Besides carrying out its statutory responsibilities, the Board oversees the formulation of the group’s long-term strategic objectives and directions, reviews and approves the group’s annual budgets, business and strategic plans and monitors the achievement of the group’s corporate objectives. it also oversees the management of the group’s business affairs and conducts periodic reviews of the group’s financial performance and implementing policies relating to financial matters, which include risk management and internal control and compliance.

The Board’s approval is also required in matters such as major funding proposals, investment and divestment proposals, major acquisitions and disposals, corporate or financial restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, share issuance and dividends and major corporate policies on key areas of operations, the release of the group’s half yearly and full year results and interested person transactions of a material nature. The Board ensures that incoming new directors are familiarized with the group’s businesses and corporate governance practices upon their appointment to facilitate the effective discharge of their duties.

The Board meets regularly to oversee the business affairs of the group, and to approve, if applicable, any financial and business objectives and strategies. ad-hoc meetings will be held when circumstances require.

Board composition and BalancePrinciple 2 : Strong and independent element on the Board

presently, the Board of Lasseters comprises the following directors:-

There is a good balance between the executive and non-executive directors and a strong and independent element on the Board. Key information on directors can be found in the “Board of directors” section of this annual report.

The Board, through the delegation of its authority to the nominating Committee (“nC”), has used its best efforts to ensure that directors appointed to the Board possess the relevant background, experience and knowledge in technology, business, finance and management skills critical to the group’s business to enable the Board to make sound and well-considered decisions.

The independence of each director is reviewed annually by the nC, which confirms that the independent directors made up at least one-third of the Board. The Board considers an “independent” director as one who has no relationship with Lasseters, its related companies or its officers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent business judgment of the conduct of the group’s affairs.

although the independent directors hold directorships in other companies, the Board is of the view that such multiple Board representations do not hinder them from carrying out their duties as directors. These directors would widen the experience of the Board and give it a broader perspective.

The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis by the nC to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience, and collectively possesses the necessary core competence for informed decision-making and effective functioning.

chairman and chief executive officer Principle 3 : Clear division of responsibilities at the top of the Company The Company has not adopted the recommendation of the Code to have a separate appointment of Chairman and Chief Executive officer. The Board is of the view that it is in the best interests of the group to adopt a single leadership structure, whereby the CEo and the Chairman of the Board is the same person, so as to ensure that the decision-making process of the group would not be unnecessarily hindered.

presently, dato’ Jaya J B Tan, as Executive Chairman, continues to provide strategic leadership for the group and hold executive responsibility for the Company’s business. additionally, he is responsible for the effective workings of the Board and promotes high standards of corporate governance. he ensures that Board meetings are held when necessary and sets the Board meeting agenda in consultation with other directors and the key management. he also reviews Board papers before they are presented to the Board to ensure that information provided to the Board members is adequate. during the Board meetings, he facilitates effective contributions and constructive discussions on strategic issues and business planning from the executive and non-executive directors. dato’ Jaya is assisted by an experienced and qualified team of executive officers of the group.

bOARD MEMbERSHIP AND PERfORMANCE

Board committees

To assist the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities, the Board has established three Board Committees, namely the audit Committee (“aC”), nominating Committee (“nC”) and remuneration Committee (“rC”). These committees function within clearly defined terms of reference and operating procedures, which are reviewed on a regular basis.

presently, new directors are appointed by way of a board resolution after the nC approves and recommends to the Board for approval, subject to compliance with Lasseters’ articles governing new appointment of directors. article 90(2) of the Company provides that no director shall be appointed without the consent of the northern Territory Minister. article 90(3) further provides that upon a director of Lasseters or, if required by a gaming authority or a Licence, any of Lasseters’ subsidiaries being appointed, there shall be a period of 14 days during which Lasseters shall make an application(s) to the nT Minister for his consent for purposes of article 90(2) above.

article 106 of Lasseters’ articles of association requires one third of the Board to retire by rotation at every agM. The directors must present themselves for re-nomination and re-election at regular intervals of at least once every three years.

in reviewing the nomination of the retiring directors, the nC considered the performance and contribution of each of the retiring directors, having regard not only to their attendance and participation at Board and Board Committee meetings but also the time and efforts devoted to the group’s business and affairs, especially the operational and technical contributions.

in considering the appointment of any new director, the nC ensures that the new director possesses the necessary skills, knowledge and experience that could facilitate the Board in the making of sound and well-considered decisions. for re-appointments, nC takes into account the individual director’s past contributions and performance.

The external auditors have full access to the aC who has the express power to conduct or authorise investigations into any matters within its terms of reference. Minutes of the aC meetings will be regularly submitted to the Board for its information.

The aC has reviewed the group’s risk assessment, and based on the audit reports and management controls in place, is satisfied that there are adequate internal controls in the group.

for the year under review, the group has accrued an aggregate amount of audit and tax fees of aud421,785, comprising audit fees of aud95,277 paid to auditors of the Company; and aud239,800 and aud86,708 paid to other auditors for audit fees of the subsidiaries and tax fees respectively. in compliance with rule 1204(6) of Section B : rules of Catalist of the Listing Manual (“Catalist rules”) of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited, the aC confirmed that it has undertaken a review of all non-audit services provided by the auditors and they would not, in the aC’s opinion, affect the independence of the auditors.

The group has complied with rules 712 and 715 of the Listing Manual in relation to its auditors.

The aC has recommended the re-appointment of Bdo LLp as auditors for the ensuing year, subject to shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming agM.

Internal Controls and Internal AuditPrinciple 12 : Sound system of internal controlsPrinciple 13 : Setting up independent audit function

a system of internal controls has been implemented for all companies within the group. The controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, operational controls are in place, business risks are suitably protected, proper accounting records are maintained and financial information used within the business and for publication is accurate and reliable.

given the types of business conducted, the group has to conform to strict guidelines laid down by the governments of northern Territory (“nT“), new South wales (“nSw”), Queensland (“QLd”), Victoria (“ViC”) in australia and in new Zealand (“nZ”) through specific legislation. Standard operating procedures of casino gaming are well documented in internal control manuals which have been endorsed by the respective governments. The respective governments are allowed to conduct random inspections on the day-to-day operations of the gaming business and to access the financial status, as well as to conduct checks on the directors and Management. The internal accounting controls are reviewed by Lasseters’ present external auditors as part of their audit.

while no system can provide absolute assurance against loss or misstatement, Management, in designing the controls, had taken into account the business risk, its likelihood of occurrence and the cost of protection. during the financial year, the aC, on behalf of the Board, has reviewed the effectiveness of the various systems in place by Management and is satisfied that there are adequate internal controls in the group.

The main role of internal audit function is to review the effectiveness of the system of internal control.

internal audits are continuously carried out by designated personnel in the group, in addition to random inspection by nT, nSw, QLd and ViC governments and also internal accounting control reviews by the subsidiaries external auditors as part of their audit. They are responsible for ensuring that the group’s operational and financial controls comply with the strict guidelines laid down by the nT, nSw, QLd and ViC governments through specific legislation and support the audit Committee in its role of assessing the effectiveness of the group’s overall internal control system and assisting in the implementation of a risk management framework.

during the financial year, the Board with the concurrence of aC, after carrying out a review, is of the opinion that the internal controls of the group are adequate to address operational, financial and compliance risks. in arriving at the opinion, the Board is of the view that the internal controls of the group have reasonable assurance about achieving the effectiveness and efficiency of operations; reliability of financial reporting; and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

communication with shareholdersPrinciple 14 : Regular, effective and fair communication with shareholdersPrinciple 15 : Shareholder participation at AGM

Lasseters is committed to timely dissemination of information and proper transparency and disclosure of relevant information to Sgx-ST, shareholders, analysts, the public and its employees.
