CHAIRPERSON REPORT SPASA Australia continues to grow and evolve as our national industry association and the last 12 months are no exception. With the finalisation of the merger of SA, QLD and NSW/ACT into SPASA Australia and the acquisition of SPLASH!, the board and leadership teams have been focussed on consolidating the associations corporate structure, services and member benefits. It is important to take time to pause and reflect on the journey of SPASA Australia and what has been achieved in a short period of time. The unification of SA, NSW/ACT & QLD into SPASA Australia have led to operational synergies, cost reductions and combined assets in excess of $3.7 million which will now open up opportunities only considered a pipe dream three years ago. The board remains committed to ensuring the balance between financial security and investment. Our investment strategy is directed equally to ensuring we serve our members and stakeholders into the future while maintaining a sustainable operating model. SPASA WA have partnered with SPASA Australia as an Association Member and financially contributed through their membership in the development of services and infrastructure to help with representation, training, member benefits and services in which the WA member base has benefitted from. SPASA Victoria continue to remain independent without a formal membership arrangement but participate in the national awards program and we will continue to offer collaboration and open communication for the benefit of all members.

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Training for builders and technicians continues to be a priority. SPASA Australia is the only dedicated Registered Training Organisation in Australia for the industry and our commitment to lifting the educational and training benchmark is unwavering. The Pool and Spa Expos continue to grow with each passing year, both in numbers of exhibitors and attendees. There is no better opportunity for our members to engage with current and future pool owners. It is with great anticipation that we look forward to the nation’s largest trade expo with the SPLASH! Conference in 2018. Under the new management of SPASA Australia, we are excited about the opportunities that exist for our industry by brining everyone together for the many events that are on offer. Likewise, the Awards of Excellence Gala Dinners across the country attracted representatives from far and wide to help celebrate the Best of the Best. These Awards always provide an opportunity to meet and network with our peers and competitors in an atmosphere of celebration. A national vision and strategy is only as good as the support it receives. In this regard, I would like to thank my fellow board members for their time and commitment to making the industry association better with each year. SPASA Australia board members work in an honorary capacity – they all work extremely hard and give liberally their time through the year.

Page 5

Without the commitment of these generous people an association could not function. I would like to acknowledge and thank Directors John O’Brien, Andrew Jakovac, Robert Guthrie, Trent Moran, Adam Jaworski and Rob Kruber as well as the Alternative Directors, Lorenzo Peressin, Ernie Bevilaqua, Duncan Smith and Troy Cartwright that are at times called upon. The staff of SPASA Australia are dedicated, committed and passionate about our industry. This is evident when they continually go above and beyond what is required. The appointment of Lindsay McGrath as CEO has enabled the association to become what it is today. He has set a new benchmark of professionalism, corporate governance and built the association into a sustainable national body with a clear strategic direction. Lindsay is surrounded by a strong team that are driven to make our industry better and on behalf of the Board and the Members, thank you to all of the SPASA Australia staff. I would like to make special mention to Spiros Dassakis and the industry volunteers that participate in technical committees or represent our industry with Standards Australia to review and upgrade standards. Often a time consuming and thankless job but nonetheless one that has to be done and the industry is indebted to you.

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Finally to our members, without you, there is no association. You believed in SPASA Australia and came with us on the journey into a single entity. We now better represent all sectors of the industry and are ever expanding to recognise and include other sectors that form part of the swimming pool and spa industry. As a united industry with consolidated resources we are well positioned to promote pools and spas against other industries. At SPASA Australia, we are determined in our drive to continually improve, set new standards and ask the question – How can we add value to our members and then in turn better the customer experience? This is our commitment to you, the member. This will be my last year as Chairperson of SPASA Australia after four years. I feel privileged to have served the industry and been a part of the development of the national association. I urge members of our industry to get involved and make a difference even if this is at a local level to begin with. Succession planning at all levels is key to ensuring a thriving association. It all matters. I wish all our members a prosperous and successful 2018 and look forward to your continued participation and support. Lynley Papineau Chairperson

FINANCE REPORT It is my pleasure to submit to our members the Annual Report of the Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Australia. The financial health of your association is stronger than ever before, and our corporate governance and economic management has produced a solid result. The 2016/17 consolidated operating result for SPASA Australia was a surplus of $3,821,340. The result is due to the merging of the 3 regional entities into SPASA Australia. Following the 2016/17 financial year the decision was made to alter the reporting year from a financial year (Jul/Jun) to a calendar year (Jan/Dec) to better align to our membership cycle and as result the financial result for the 2017 year covers the six month period from July to December 2017. The 2017 half year result was a loss of $(233,969) which compares to an unaudited loss of $(405,268) for the same period in the prior year. On a full year basis (Jan/Dec), and removing the impact of one-off costs relating to restructure and acquisition activities, the net earnings result for the combined entities in 2017 was an unaudited profit of $23,314 compared to an unaudited loss of $(30,617) in the prior year. SPASA Australia reports all entities in a consolidated manner including the Registered Training Organisation and the Trustee and Water Tight trust fund. This provides a total true and correct report of all financial workings within SPASA Australia’s responsibility. The Association's external Auditors Loren Datt Audit have conducted the 2016/17 and the special purpose Audit Report for the year ending 31st December 2017, herein attached. Key Points •

The completed merger of the 3 regional Associations into SPASA Australia.

•

Our strong financial position has enabled SPASA to review and act on an investment strategy which included the acquisition of SPLASH!, including the largest pool and spa expo in the southern hemisphere and the dominant trade magazine.

•

Training income is up 77% from the 2016 calendar year. This reflects our Training Pillar – Transforming Industry, Meeting Educational Needs and Building Careers.

•

SPASA has increased its human resources by employing three new staff members and refocusing current employees in specific skilled areas to improve efficiency and increase benefit to members.

•

The SPASA office in NSW is owned by the Association. A valuation was conducted in the last quarter of 2017 reflecting a value of $770,000.

•

A significant improvement in the operational efficiency of the Association over the historical federated model. This has resulted in not requiring the Trust fund interest to cover overheads. Adam Jaworski Finance Audit and Compliance Committee - Chairman

CEO REPORT 2017 was an important year for SPASA Australia. The growing demand for a stronger, unified and collective voice that represents and promotes our industry took a historical step on the 1st of January 2017 when SPASA NSW & ACT, QLD and SA successfully merged into SPASA Australia. Thank You I would like to put front and centre my thanks to all those who have been a part of delivering the outcomes achieved during this year. The SPASA Australia Board of Directors have shown true leadership setting the standard for culture and strategy. The committees and members have all played a vital role in the outcomes achieved this year, providing guidance and regular feedback. By anyone’s measure, the year delivered outcomes that see immediate positive changes for members and a platform for growth in following years. The last 18 months has unprecedented support from the volunteer board and committees, members, suppliers and staff to merge 4 separate business entities together. During this process a single unified culture has been developed by and resilient and hardworking staff who I am blessed to lead. This positive can-do culture has continued to deliver the day to day the services for members throughout the immense distribution of the mergers. Consumers saw no pause or fault in our marketing, phone or digital support. New member services and benefits were delivered via an operational efficient association. Providing leadership for the swimming pool and spa industry is a critical part of everything we do, helping to fulfil our vision of having a positive impact on the consumer, regulators and government. Equally, making sure that swimming pool and spa ownership is promoted in a way that is seen as the only choice for consumers who are considering other options. Marketing & Communication We have continued to take a strategic approach to media and government relations on key issues, which has helped raise our profile as the “voice” of the industry. Our branding and reputation as a powerful Peak Industry Body is rapidly growing. Increased investment in Consumer Expos, Magazines, Digital, Awards and other programs will be under constant review to improve our promotion of members to consumers and industry. A special thanks to Astral Pool Australia as our 2017 Platinum Sponsor and AB Phillips our Partner in Insurance and finance.

Fighting for the industry

Consumer and Trade Expos SPASA Australia directly controls consumers expos in NSW and SA, which are hugely successful and contribute millions of dollars in consumer sales to members across Australia. The launch of the SPASA Leadership Convention was a resounding success and a turning point for industry. The Convention was designed for current leaders looking to grow their business and for those looking to make leadership their vocation.

Our acquisition of SPLASH! is part of SPASA Australia’s integrated strategy and delivers on a key objective – to engage more with members while expanding the brand’s exposure to a larger audience. Following our recent alliance with Pool+Spa media, the acquisition of SPLASH! is a natural progression for the association as it increases our skill set, expands our communication reach and provides another collaborative model to shape the industry. Members Voice Behind all the various aspects of the Association is Membership. The direct feedback received is the driving force behind every decision made to promote grow and protect the industry. Thank you to all Members for your support of SPASA Australia. Lindsay McGrath Chief Executive Officer

THE POOL INDUSTRY - a career of choice

SPASA’s efforts to raise awareness of the swimming pool and spa industry as a career of choice has continued to grow substantially throughout 2017. For many participants within the swimming pool and spa industry, the sector has provided an interesting and rewarding career with many options available to them, however the sector is still not seen as a career of choice, particularly to school leavers. SPASA Australia has identified strategies to increase the awareness of potential career paths within the swimming pool and spa industry in order to continue to build the sector. To encourage participation within the sector swimming pool and spa industry, in 2017 SPASA Australia developed several current workforce and new entrant youth initiatives which include: •

Expanded Training Division Resources include employing one new staff member as well as restructure.

•

Certification and Accreditation Program A CPD Program designed to recognise and promote member professionalism and commitment to ongoing learning.

•

National Workshops Significant planning took place in 2017 to deliver over one hundred face-to-face courses in 2018 for both pool builders and service technicians.

By continuing to invest and engage with tomorrow’s leaders, SPASA can ensure that the swimming pool and spa industry continues to thrive into the future.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Basis of preparation In the directors' opinion, the consolidated entity is not a reporting entity because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. These are special purpose financial statements that have been prepared for the purposes of complying with the Corporations Act 2001 requirements to prepare and distribute financial statements to the members of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd. The directors have determined that the accounting policies adopted are appropriate to meet the needs of the members of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements specified by the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the disclosure requirements of AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements', AASB 108 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', AASB 1031 'Materiality', AASB 1048 'Interpretation of Standards' and AASB 1054 'Australian Additional Disclosures', as appropriate for not-for profit oriented entities. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 15. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 31

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Rendering of services Rendering of services revenue is recognised upon delivery of service to customer. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Income tax As the consolidated entity 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. Consolidated trust funds The organisation produces consolidated reports which are set out in this document. Each entities that comprises the group separately continue to maintain individual accounts for internal, regulatory compliance and audit purposes. The entities that comprise the Group are: • Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Australia Pty Ltd • Swimming Pool and Spa Association of NSW Ltd • SPASA Australia Benefits Pty Ltd Investment information, such as term deposits, cash at bank and other assets are reported on a consolidated basis. Trust funds held are reported on a consolidated basis rather than a listing of which entities holds which trust funds. This trust information is maintained in the individual accounts of each entity for internal, regulatory compliance and audit purposes. Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. Inventories Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, at least every 3 years, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment for buildings. The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there is a material change in the fair value relative to the carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve in equity. Any revaluation decrements are initially taken in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve to the extent of any previous revaluation surplus of the same asset. Thereafter the decrements are taken to profit or loss. Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Buildings Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Plant and equipment under lease

40 years 3-10 years 3-7 years 2-5 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

Page 33

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Finance costs Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquires and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquisition. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquisition is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirer’s identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquire at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquire and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquisition is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquisition, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 30 June 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2017. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations. Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that are likely to affect the current or future financial years. Note 3.

Non-current assets - property, plant and equipment (continued) Valuations of land and buildings The basis of the valuation of land and buildings is fair value. The land and buildings were last revalued on 20 July 2017 based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute having recent experience in the location and category of land and buildings being valued. Valuations are based on current prices for similar properties in the same location and condition. The directors have not adjust the carrying value of Land and building at 30 June 2017, as they do not believe the fair value adjustment based on the valuation is material. Note 9.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SWIMMING POOL & SPA ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA LTD AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES Opinion We have audited the financial report, being a special purpose financial report of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd and its controlled entities (the Company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the directors’ declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report presents fairly, is in all material respects, in accordance with Corporations Act 2001, including: a) giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 30 June 2017 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other responsibilities in accordance with Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the Directors ’of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the Directors ’at the time of this audit report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter-Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling the Company’s financial reporting responsibilities under the Corporations Act 2001. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of The Directors for the Financial Report The directors of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and have determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 to the financial statements is appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The directors’ responsibility also includes such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing the applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors’ either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The Directors’ are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors’. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors’ regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. Reporting period The company changed its financial reporting period to a 31 December 2017 financial year end. For that reason, the financial report covers the six month period ended on that date, with the comparative information covering the twelve month period ended on that date. Basis of preparation In the directors' opinion, the consolidated entity is not a reporting entity because there are no users dependent on general purpose financial statements. These are special purpose financial statements that have been prepared for the purposes of complying with the Corporations Act 2001 requirements to prepare and distribute financial statements to the members of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd. The directors have determined that the accounting policies adopted are appropriate to meet the needs of the members of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements specified by the Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the disclosure requirements of AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements', AASB 108 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', AASB 1031 'Materiality', AASB 1048 'Interpretation of Standards' and AASB 1054 'Australian Additional Disclosures', as appropriate for not-for profit oriented entities. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. Parent entity information In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 19. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd ('company' or 'parent entity') as at 31 December 2017 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'. Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an entit y when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 52

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the consolidated entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Rendering of services Rendering of services revenue is recognised upon delivery of service to customer. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. Income tax As the consolidated entity 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. Consolidated Entities The organisation produces consolidated reports which are set out in this document. Each entities that comprises the group separately continue to maintain individual accounts for internal, regulatory compliance and audit purposes. The entities that comprise the Group are: • Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Australia Pty Ltd • Swimming Pool and Spa Association of NSW Ltd • SPASA Australia Benefits Pty Ltd Investment information, such as term deposits, cash at bank and other assets are reported on a consolidated basis. Trust funds held are reported on a consolidated basis rather than a listing of which entities holds which trust funds. This trust information is maintained in the individual accounts of each entity for internal, regulatory compliance and audit purposes. Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Page 53

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. Inventories Stock on hand is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Property, plant and equipment Land and buildings are shown at fair value, based on periodic, at least every 3 years, valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation and impairment for buildings. The valuations are undertaken more frequently if there is a material change in the fair value relative to the carrying amount. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve in equity. Any revaluation decrements are initially taken in other comprehensive income through to the revaluation surplus reserve to the extent of any previous revaluation surplus of the same asset. Thereafter the decrements are taken to profit or loss. Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Buildings Leasehold improvements Plant and equipment Plant and equipment under lease

40 years 3-10 years 3-7 years 2-5 years

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 54

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. 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 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. Goodwill Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Impairment of non-financial assets Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other nonfinancial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial period and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current. Finance costs Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2017

Page 55

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Business combinations The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquirer. Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2017. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2017 Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are no critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that are likely to affect the current or future financial years. Note 3.

Valuations of land and buildings The basis of the valuation of land and buildings is fair value. The land and buildings were last revalued on 20 July 2017 based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute having recent experience in the location and category of land and buildings being valued. The directors do not believe that there has been a material movement in fair value since the revaluation date. Valuations are based on current prices for similar properties in the same location and condition.
