BILL WALKER
David Eland
Whilst Northern NSW Football has celebrated a rich and vibrant history dating back more than 125 years, 2012 has been very much about preparing for an even more exciting future. The start of the year was a disruptive one and the developments that took place at the end of 2011 and in early 2012 were dealt with promptly and effectively by Member Zones, Executive Management, Standing Committees and stakeholders with an unquestionable vote of confidence for the incumbent CEO David Eland. I would like to acknowledge the dedication, commitment and focus displayed by our Executive and staff who continued to meet organisational objectives and member expectations throughout this difficult period. With David and a proactive new Board of Directors in place from early 2012, Northern NSW Football has set about getting back on track with the implementation of an exciting new path for the growth and development of football across Northern NSW. To quote our CEO, ‘quality players need quality facilities’ and to this end we have commenced preparations for the development of an elite football facility at Speers Point. The facility will serve not only as a first class centre for athlete development but also a revenue stream to allow Northern NSW Football to continue to provide cost effective opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels to participate in the world game across Northern NSW.
In September we saw an exciting, integrated talented player pathway announced, in conjunction with the Newcastle Jets and Football Federation Australia, for youth players to aspire to one day represent Northern NSW on the national stage at A-League and W-League level.
It is with great pleasure that I provide the Chief Executive Officer’s Report, which aims to provide a brief overview of the organisation’s major achievements in 2012 and progress towards the achievement of the objectives identified within our Strategic Plan 2010 – 2014.
Whilst at grassroots level, we have joined with a vibrant corporate partner in Newcastle Permanent Building Society, together creating an exciting environment for junior football that has seen 12% growth in entry level registrations in 2012.
In football terms, NNSWF got off to a very slow start to the year. After three months of upheaval, members were finally granted their opportunity to elect a new board of directors at the Annual General Meeting on 10 January, 2012.
May I take the opportunity to thank the many dedicated and passionate stakeholders in our great game across Northern NSW, whether a volunteer, a player, a sponsor, match official, a parent or club official for your own personal contribution to what has been a great year of football.
The newly elected board, led by Chairman, Bill Walker and Deputy Chairman Michael Gaertner responded immediately by initiating a raft of essential governance policies and reengagement initiatives which aimed to reassure stakeholders that Northern NSW Football was once again firmly focused on the best interests of its members and the growth, development and promotion of the sport throughout Northern NSW.
In particular, our Member Zones and Standing Committees that have once again worked conscientiously towards the adoption and implementation of key initiatives within the organisation’s Strategic Plan and operational plans within their respective geographical areas of operation. As participants in our great game, you are ALL winners - with the prize being the enjoyment and satisfaction gained by the thousands of players, young and old, male and female who participate in our game across Northern NSW each year.
Bill Walker Chairman
The new board’s approach reinvigorated the executive and staff and the new governance policies facilitated more effective management. The Member Zone Strategic Retreat and Women’s Football Forum led to the adoption of an amended strategic plan, which will guide the organisation for the next two years. The total number of players throughout Northern NSW remained steady in 2012 compared to the previous season. Discounted registration fees and the provision of free shin pads and a football through the ground breaking sponsorship with the Newcastle Permanent Building Society led to a 12% increase in Entry Level participation. The appointment of NNSWF’s inaugural Female Participation Officer resulted in coaching and match official courses just for females and the piloting of a girls only Optus Small Sided Football hub in Newcastle. The launches of Girls Quick Kicks and Summer 6’s were very successful. An anticipated 6000 players will compete in sanctioned off-season activities in 2012 generating $150,000, which will be available for further investment in programs and services.
The establishment of the Emerging Jets in partnership with the Newcastle Jets and Football Federation Australia will ensure that aspiring professional footballers have access to the coaching, support services and competitions required to achieve their dreams. This partnership aims to reinvigorate the region’s proud history of producing Socceroos and Matildas that inspire future generations of participants. World class players need access to a world class facility. Northern NSW Football has identified an ideal site at Speers Point Park, Speers Point and committed up to $4m of Members’ Equity towards the project. Lake Macquarie City Council has thrown their full support behind the project through the submission of a $7.3m funding application to the Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund. The NSW Government’s financial support will provide the region’s largest sport with the facility it so desperately needs to open up the game to a new market and develop champions of the future. By any measure NNSWF’s Premier Competitions exceeded all expectations this season. The Jets Youth’s participation in the flagship NBN State League was a boon for the League and the clubs. The bumper attendance throughout the Grand Final Series was reflective of the support and standard of the Premier Competitions. First Touch Football Supplies grew again this year. Turnover has increased by 42% in the past 3 years, which has dramatically decreased NNSWF’s heavy reliance on player registration fees. Football editorial in print media alone this season eclipsed a total cumulative audience of 21 million. The new brand architecture, which was implemented throughout the organisation delivered consistency and cut through. The integrated website network and competition management system peaked at 61,000 unique users in June and more than 11 million page views were generated. NNSWF’s Facebook page’s reach extended to over 3000 Likes, which has resulted in the football community being better informed than ever before.
Kloster Hyundai joined the team as the Official Supplier of Motor Vehicles and #10 Teamwear committed to provide apparel to the Newcastle Jets W-League team. These new partnerships are reflective of NNSWF’s and the sport’s status within the community and free up valuable resources for further investment in the grass roots.

Northern NSW Football’s newly elected Board of Directors responded positively to the turmoil experienced by the organisation prior to last year’s AGM through tangible reengagement with members and stakeholders and a renewed focus on the Australian Sports Commission’s Key Governance Principles, which challenge sporting organisations to ensure that: • the organisation’s strategic goals and direction are effectively communicated; • the Board of Directors continuously monitor the organisation’s performance; and • the best interests of members are considered
The Member Zone Strategic Retreat and Women’s Football Forum in July provided stakeholders with an opportunity to contribute towards the formulation of the organisation’s future strategic direction, which was reflected in the amended strategic plan, endorsed by the Board in September. The adoption of a raft of essential governance policies facilitated more effective management of the company and addressed a number of potential risks. The Peak Steering Committee (PSC) met on two occasions in 2011.12. The PSC has become one of the organisation’s most important stakeholder forums providing opportunities for delegates to share their experiences whilst ensuring NNSWF’s Board of Directors are kept informed through the Deputy Chairman and CEO of the challenges, needs and expectations of grass roots participants throughout Northern NSW.

Community Football resources and programs continued to expand throughout 2012 with the implementation of a number of key strategies which aimed to increase football participation, improve the standard of coaching and refereeing and to enhance the overall football experience. Despite a decrease in total registered players in 2012, both the entry level and non-traditional participation sectors grew substantially thanks to targeted marketing and advertising, a freeze on registration fees for entry level participants, the introduction of Summer 6’s and Quick Kicks, the lowering of the entry level age restriction to include four year olds and the provision of a free football and pair of shin pads to every entry level participant as part of the Newcastle Permanent Junior Football sponsorship. The continued implementation of the FFA Schools 5-a-side Gala Days and the introduction of NNSWF’s Girls Only High School Gala Day events provided over 3200 students the opportunity to participate in modified football matches as well as engage with current Newcastle Jets A-League and W-League players thanks to a positive working relationship with the Newcastle Jets.
Nyssa Suchanow was employed in the full-time role of Female Participation Officer and charged with implementing programs and services aimed at increasing female participation at all levels of football. Nyssa’s appointment saw the implementation of NNSWF’s first ever ‘Girls Football Week’, a Girls Only Optus Small-Sided Football competition piloted in Newcastle, Girls Only High School 6-a-side Gala Days, Female Only Coach and Match Official education courses and the first ever Women’s Football Forum, which will become an annual event. Throughout 2012 Northern NSW Football, in partnership with Special Olympics Australia, provided participation opportunities for over 250 athletes with a disability. This partnership was formalised by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on August 28 which will see Special Olympics Australia and NNSWF work together on the provision and development of football for people with an intellectual disability in Northern NSW. Gary Fisher, Club Development Officer initiated the National Club Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) which saw East Armidale FC awarded as the inaugural Level 1 accredited club in Northern NSW. 14 more clubs have since achieved Level 1 accreditation with this number set to increase throughout 2013.

John ‘Chips’ Wainwright from Tinonee SC, Football Mid North Coast was acknowledged at the annual awards night as the Northern NSW Football 2012 Volunteer of the Year. NNSWF’s inaugural Indigenous Football Festival was conducted in August providing 90 indigenous high school students with the opportunity to participate in a 6-a-side tournament. The winning teams, Coffs Harbour (Female Division) and Moree (Male Division) represented Northern NSW at the National Indigenous Football Festival held in Alice Springs in November. There was a positive increase in 2012 in the number of coaches who gained Grassroots Certification and accredited coaching licenses. An Assessors and Presenters course was conducted in January, with 25 new Coach Education Presenters becoming accredited to deliver coach education courses. This will greatly assist to increase the number and quality of coaches throughout Northern NSW in the future. 834 coaches attended a Grassroots Coaching Certificate course in 2012, which equated to an increase of 30.75% on 2011 and 406
coaches received full accreditation at Junior, Youth, Senior or Junior Goal Keeping level. An additional 138 female coaches gained full accreditation at Junior or Youth level through Female Only Coach Education courses. This relates to a total increase in accredited coaches of 15.8% in Northern NSW compared to 2011. The implementation of a number of new initiatives in 2012 has provided additional opportunities to elite referees across Northern NSW to reach the highest level. The first State Coaching Panel meeting was held in Newcastle in March with the aim of ensuring consistency in referee education across all zones. Agreements with FFA, Football Federation Victoria and Football Queensland have been reached to ensure opportunities are available to elite referees to officiate and be assessed at the highest level, with the first exchange taking place in June seeing Stuart Wolfe travel to Brisbane to officiate Brisbane Strikers FC v Sunshine Coast Fire FC. FFA also established the National Talent Pool for match officials aiming to achieve appointments in National Competitions. Northern NSW enjoyed the second highest number of match officials accepted with 7 match officials appointed to A-League and W-League panels.

Strategic Goal: To deliver professional, integrated and clear elite development pathways and programs for players and coaches throughout Northern NSW complemented with National and International competition which produce National representative players and coaches.
Key Success Measure
Outcome
NNSWF will support the participation of seven (7) teams at the FFA National Championships in 2011/ 12.
• 7 teams participated • 3 boys and 7 girls were selected • 3 coaches were selected
Six (6) representative players will be selected in the FFA “All Star” teams A total of 3 Coaches from NNSW will be selected as coaches of “All Star” teams
By 2014 a minimum of 75% and 80% of the Jets NYL and W-League Squads respectively will emanate from Northern NSW.
Championships demonstrated that our players continue to improve technically as individuals and collectively as a team. It is important that we don’t “fall into the trap” of evaluating our performance on results only.
The FFA National Curriculum continues to serve as the blueprint for the development of junior football in Australia. This is a long term strategy and we are now starting to see the benefits of the introduction of small sided football, improved community and elite coaching structures and training methodology. Northern NSW is very fortunate to have the support of zone administrators and technical directors who have implemented the programs and supported the curriculum rollout throughout their respective Zones. Our major representative activity is the participation at the FFA National Championships. Seven teams comprising of four male and three female teams were very well prepared and we are lucky to have a great group of dedicated coaches and officials who work incredibly hard to prepare all players for the Championships.
• Newcastle Jets NYL – 75% in 2012.13 • Newcastle Jets W-League – 65% in 2012.13
I would also like to thank the parents and families of our seven teams who participated at Nationals for their invaluable support of their children and the program. NNSWF’s performances at National Championships demonstrated that our players continue to improve technically as individuals and collectively as a team. It is important that we don’t “fall into the trap” of evaluating our performance on results only.

We understand the need to continually review our programs and to achieve best practice. This approach has lead to the formation of a partnership with the Newcastle Jets and FFA to establish the Emerging Jets. We also recognise the need to undertake a complete review of our Regional structure and programs and this will commence later this year. The Northern NSWIS program has been a major contributor to the elite player pathway and again this year the program has, through the leadership of Head Coach, Wayne O’Sullivan and Assistant Coach, Peter McGuiness raised the “bar”. The Boy’s Squad, which consisted of under 15 and 16 year olds, secured the NBN Under 19 State League Premiership and Grand Final based on a playing philosophy which was consistent with the aims of the National Curriculum. NNSWF was very appreciative of the support received from the NBN State League Clubs who also supported the underpinning EAP Squad’s participation in the NBN Under 17 State League.
Three players, Reece Papas, Brandon Lundy and Jayden Walker attended a number of Joeys’ camps and overseas tours. Whilst not making it into the final squad, the players should be proud of their involvement throughout the year. Eight (8) players have been invited to train on with the Jets Youth Team and the Emerging Jets Under 18 Team. In 2012 the NNSWIS Girls Program changed to Under 18 in accordance with National direction. The squad competed in the Metropolitan U/15 SYL and four girls from the squad, Tulia Palozzi, Kally Lewis, Alison Traverso and Hannah Southwell are currently part of the Australian Under 17 Squad. Unfortunately the New South Wales Institute of Sport’s support of football throughout the State concludes at the end of 2012. NNSWF, the Newcastle Jets and FFA have responded through the establishment of the Emerging Jets. High Performance Highlights 2011.12 • Implementation of NNSWIS Program Male (Under 16) and Female (Under 18); • Introduction of Under 11, 12 and 13 Metropolitan Development Leagues; • Enhancement of Boys and Girls State Championships to improve identification; • Introduction of Under 13 Boys Rebel Cup conducted by Newcastle Football; • Under 13 and 15 Representative Tour of Singapore in September; • Under 12 participation in Saitama International Tournament in July; • Continuation of the Centre of Excellence supporting 140 Under 11 and 12 players throughout Northern NSW; • Newcastle Jets Youth Teams participation in NBN State League; • NNSWF’s commitment to manage the Newcastle Jets W-League team; • NBN State League Select Teams’ fixtures against the Newcastle Jets; • Conducting of the inaugural C Licence in Regional Northern NSW; and • A-League trial matches in Regional areas provided opportunities for talented players to engage with professional players and coaches
I would like to acknowledge the support provided to the High Performance Department and Programs by the Board of Directors, CEO and other departments within NNSWF for assisting us to work towards achieving our stated objectives. My appreciation is also extended to the many coaches, managers and other support staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to help sustain the myriad of High Performance Programs. I would like to thank each of the Zone Technical Directors for their continuing personal support and the support of NNSWF’s representative programs.

Annual Report 2012
Football Operations continued The 2012 State Cup saw an increase in nominations with 65 entries from clubs throughout Northern NSW. A new format established for the 2012 Cup provided greater opportunities for community clubs to reach the finals. Ultimately NBN State League giants Broadmeadow Magic FC defeated Coffs United 4 – 0 in the Final at Coffs Harbour. NNSWF hosted the FFA Boys and Girls National Youth Championships for the seventh consecutive year and will continue to do so at least until 2014. NNSWF has gratefully accepted the opportunity to manage the Newcastle Jets participation in the Westfield W-League to ensure that a pathway continues to exist for talented young female players in our region. NNSWF facilitated several meetings of the Zone Managers’ committee to maintain the strong working relationship that exists throughout NNSWF. The meetings have developed closer links among the professional administrators and assisted the establishment of consistent administration procedures and more effective communication. Additional meetings will be scheduled in 2013 and will be attended by all of NNSWF’s Executives.
First Touch Football Supplies continues to grow and expand reaching its sales target of $650,000 in 2012.
National Online Registration was expanded in 2012 to include Macquarie Football, Hunter Valley Football, Northern Inland Football and parts of North Coast Football. The program will be rolled out to the remaining zones in 2013. All member zones are now utilising the Sporting Pulse Competition Management System with further training scheduled in 2013 to ensure that the system is utilised to its full capacity and members have a comprehensive understanding of the system’s capabilities. The Referees Standing Committee continues to work towards the retention and development of referees throughout NNSW. A referees exchange program provides opportunities for further development of our referees and the establishment of a technical committee and development criteria by the State League Referees has ensured that our elite referees have a clear and defined pathway to the FFA A-League, W-League and NYL panels. First Touch Football Supplies continues to grow and expand reaching its sales target of $650,000 in 2012. The appointment of new suppliers and resources should ensure another successful year ahead for First Touch and an expanded range of products and service for our members.

In March 2012, our objective of a fully integrated website platform was achieved, with the final Zone to opt into the State wide platform, Football Mid North Coast, going online. Now all seven Member Zones of NNSWF are a party to the common platform that allows significant opportunities for servicing both members and sponsors through the provision of unified and consistent news, information and brand applications.

Through the Newcastle Permanent’s support, every entry level player who registered in season 2012 received a free ball and shinpads, an initiative that helped contribute to an increase of 12% in entry level registrations during the period. The successful sponsorship outcome was a result of the ‘bundling’ of NNSWF sponsorship assets into specific properties that encompassed the main activities of each respective function – including junior football, senior football, High Performance, referees and women’s football. In another sponsorship coup, the Hunter Region’s largest integrated automotive group, the Kloster Group, entered into a relationship with NNSWF for the supply of official vehicles. This grassroots association with NNSWF complements Kloster’s existing partnership with elite football as official vehicle supplier to the Newcastle United Jets. Marketing Coordinator Larissa Adamczyk has played an integral role in establishing systems to effectively service these new sponsors and ensure that agreed benefits and opportunities are delivered across the
The demands of the State wide platform have been well met by Web Content Coordinator David Slattery who continues to work with Member Zones and platform provider Sporting Pulse on the delivery of the state of the art communications medium to our members and stakeholders. Complementing NNSWF’s web platform is a burgeoning ‘social media’ presence, as members continue to embrace the interactive benefits offered by social media in providing a timely and informative member experience. Currently, Facebook ‘likes’ are approaching 3,200 representing the most supported Facebook page amongst the FFA’s Member Federations around Australia. Media activity during the period reached a cumulative audience of 21 million as at the end of September 2012. This represented a positive continued growth in media interest in football activity, particularly amongst regional media.

Business and Finance Sponsor: Finance Manager, Brendan Clarke
Strategic Goal: Implementation of performance driven business practices complying with relevant legislation and standards aligned with our strategic goals. Key Success Measure
Outcome
Achieve budget surplus as adopted by the NNSWF Board in September 2011.
The adopted budget surplus was achieved.
As set out per our detailed financial statements, our result for the 2012 financial year was a surplus of $363,594. This result is a pleasing outcome following the turbulence of the first quarter during which time considerable unbudgeted expenses were incurred. Notwithstanding, the new Board of Directors and Management have worked hard to ensure the losses to the organisation were minimised. Following feedback received from members, Northern NSW Football undertook a detailed analysis of player registration fees and restructured our categories and pricing to help make junior football more affordable. This restructure of our pricing resulted in an increase in entry level participation of over 12%. 2012 was also the first year of our new 3 year sponsorship deal for Junior Football with the Newcastle Permanent Building Society,
providing both Northern NSW Football and all of our member zones with a new revenue stream to ease the pressure placed on player registration fees. Our merchandise sales were once again very strong in 2012, achieving a new record of $656,000 – an increase of 8.5% on 2011. Following the termination of our lease at 235 Old Maitland Rd Hexham, we have received the final compensation payable by AGL for the sale of this property in 2010 of $350,000 to assist with the expense of relocating our office to Lambton. Aside from moving office, work in relation to the proposed football facility at Speers Point has also been moving ahead with concept plans now available and feasibility studies surrounding the suitability of the site have commenced.
A summary of the 2011.12 Key Success Measures are set out below:
Our merchandise sales were once again very strong in 2012, achieving a new record of $656,000

NNSWF Facility In what could be the greatest ever boost to football in the north of NSW, Northern NSW Football and Lake Macquarie City Council have announced a joint bid to construct the region’s first state-of-the-art football facility. The proposed $11 million facility would be built on the existing under-utilised football facility at Speers Point Park, Speers Point, Lake Macquarie. The revitalised site would feature multiple five-a-side synthetic football courts, two full-size synthetic football pitches, as well as a multi-purpose administration building, training facilities and car parking for more than 100 vehicles, all on a centrally-located site close to transport links.
Northern NSW Football has committed up to $4 million to the project and Lake Macquarie City Council has lodged a claim for a $7.3 million funding grant from the NSW Government, under the Hunter Infrastructure and Investment Fund. The Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport has contributed $140,000 for a Feasibility Study on the project, under its Community Infrastructure Grants Program. If the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government approves the funding grant, Council and Northern NSW Football could begin construction by April 2014.
The proposed project has the backing of Hunter Region MPs, the Region’s national sporting teams, the Newcastle Jets and Newcastle Knights, Northern NSW Football’s member zones, and associated clubs, schools and sports groups.

Annual Report 2012
FINANCIAL REPORT Northern NSW Football Ltd ACN 001 887 467
PAGE 11 Note 1 Statement of Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation The general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001. The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non current assets. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis.
The following is a summary of the significant policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of these accounts. Statement of Compliance The Financial Report complies with Australian Accounting Standards, which include Australian Equivalents to International Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the Financial Report, comprising of the Financial Statements, and notes thereto, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Income Tax The Company is exempt from Income Tax in terms of section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment Act (1997). Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost, less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Land and buildings Freehold land and buildings are shown at cost less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Motor vehicles, Plant and equipment Plant and equipment and motor vehicles are measured on a cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure that it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows has been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amount Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings but excluding freehold land is depreciated on a straight line basis over the assets useful life from the time the asset is held ready for use. The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are: Plant & Equipment
5.00% – 33.30%
Motor Vehicles
15.00% – 33.30%
Leasehold Improvements
50.00%
The assets’ residual value and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Asset classes carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. PAGE 12
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, and in hand, and short term deposits with an original maturity of 3 months or less. For the purpose of cashflow, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above net of any outstanding bank overdrafts.
Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Company’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from salaries and wages, and annual leave which will be settled after one year have been brought to account at their nominal rate. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of their estimated future cash outflows to be made for those entitlements, using appropriate estimation techniques. Trade Debtors All receivables are categorised under the requirements of AASB 139: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. All trade and other receivables are current. Trade receivables are generally due within 30 days from the date of recognition. An allowance for doubtful debts is based on a review of outstanding balances at balance date and is accounted for in a separate account. Indicators of impairment include where there is objective evidence of significant financial difficulties, debtor bankruptcy, financial reorganisation or default in payment (more than 60 days overdue). Bad debts which have previously been provided for are eliminated against the allowance for doubtful debts. In all cases bad debts have been written off as an expense directly in the income statement. Trade and other payables Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods and services received whether or not billed to the company. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 30 days. Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of goods to the customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to financial assets. Revenue from rendering of service is recognised upon delivery of the service to the customers. The profit or loss on disposal of the asset is brought to account at the date an unconditional contract of sale is signed. Goods and Services Tax Revenues, 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, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the ATO and is included as a current asset or current liability in the Balance Sheet. Cashflows are included in the Statement of Cashflows on a gross basis. The GST components of cashflows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cashflows. Financial Instruments Recognition and Derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial liabilities are recognised on trade date – the date on which the company commits to purchase or sell the financial assets or financial liabilities. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Comparatives Where necessary comparatives have been adjusted to conform with current year disclosures. Note 2 Company a) The Company is an incorporated body being a Company Limited by Guarantee, not having share capital. The liability of Members is limited by guarantee, with the liability per Member being limited to twenty dollars ($20.00). b) The Company was incorporated on the 7th May 1980 to take over the funds and other assets and liabilities and to effectuate and carry into execution the rights and obligations of the Unincorporated Association known as “The Northern NSW Soccer Federation”.

a) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The financial assets and liabilities subject to interest rate risk are:
Cheque and Cash Management Accounts These accounts are at call accounts and earn interest at the market variable rates
Term Deposits As at the 30th September 2012, the Company held $4,663,643 in interest bearing deposits with terms to maturity varying from 48 days to 352 days. Interest rates on these deposits range from 4.80% to 5.75%.
All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company which have been recognised on the Statement of Financial Position are not subject to interest rate risk as they are non-interest bearing.
b) Credit Risk The credit risk in the financial assets of the Company which have been recognised on the Statement of Financial Position, is the carrying amount net of any provision for doubtful debts.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company has exposure to credit risk through its receivables to the extent that there are unpaid amounts at Statement of Financial Position date.
The directors establish any allowances for impairment when it is expected that any receivables are not collectable. This allowance consists of allowances for specific amounts.
The maximum credit risk in financial assets of the Company which have been recognised on the Statement of Financial Position, is the carrying amount net of any provision for doubtful debts. Total credit risk for the Company at 30 September 2012 is $5,252,569 (2011:$5,067,045) arising from receivables and bank deposits.
Included in Receivables are debtors amounting to $1,597 where the trading terms have been exceeded. No impairment provision has been recorded against these amounts as they have either been received since year end or are expected to be received.
c) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company prepares cash flow budgets and monitors its cash position to ensure that sufficient cash is available to settle obligations as they fall due. d) Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company’s financial assets and liabilities included in the Statement of Financial Position are carried at amounts that approximate net fair value.
