SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2018
CHAIRPERSON REPORT There is no mistaking that SPASA Australia has gone from strength to strength since its inception. With over 775 members, SPASA Australia currently possesses the highest number of members of any Swimming Pool & Spa Association. The association has been designed to evolve and be self sustainable, ensuring its viability well into the future. The past 12 months has been no exception, with a focus on consolidation of last years achievments and expansion into new markets such as New Zealand. SPASA Australia has placed a high level of emphasis on the creation and delivery of various training initiatives. Being able to provide professional training and support ensures that as an industry, we are equipped to deal with the everchanging regulatory demands that we all face. The continued professionalism of RTO Manager, Peter Holland and the appointment of RTO Administrator, Nicole Daws as enabled the association to promote solid career paths and significantly expand our training offerings. This not only assists in upskilling existing industry staff but also aids in attracting new people into our businesses as a attractive career opportunity. With environmental pressures continually being an important consideration, SPASA Australia recognised the need for an initiative and launched the Climate Care Certification Program, the first efficiency and sustainability certification program promoting products to regulators and consumers. 2018 saw a few new faces join the SPASA Team. SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Membership Executives, Rodney Smith and Luke Daly have been working in field to provide a higher level of communication and support in order to better service our members. Over the past year we have also seen a few members of the SPASA team move on from the association due to either retirement or to seek alternate career opportunities. Thank you to Adrian Hart, Diane Turas, Vicki Taylor and Megan McElhinney for their time and commitment to the industry. We wish them all the best with their future endeavours. In August 2018, SPASA Australia successfully ran the SPLASH! Pool & Spa Trade Show for the first time. This event achieved a record number of exhibitors and attendees with plans to expand by a further 30% due to the event being a complete sell out. As an industry, it is important that we continue to promote our products to end consumers. Pool & Spa Events and Expo’s are an integral part of this strategy. This year has also seen the NSW Pool, Spa & Outdoor Living Expo achieve another strong result with the SA event also gaining momentum and getting stronger and better. In addition to the Australian events, in May 2019, SPASA Australia will host the first ever Pool & Spa Show to take place in Auckland, New Zealand. The SPLASH! Magazine has been achieving strong results. Working alongside the Pool & Spa Magazine, both publications aim to deliver better content to the industry. PAGE 7
Aloha Pools - Concrete Pool over $100,000
With more women now holding senior positions in our industry, SPASA Australia recognised the need to promote and develop this category and in 2018, the first ever Women in Leadership Event for the industry took place. The program was a great success and is an initiative this is being further developed and expanded in 2019. These initiatives result in new revenue streams so as not to rely on the need for increasing membership fees, plus an improvement to our balance sheets and the overall profitability of the Association. Not only is the role of SPASA Australia to promote pools and spas, but also to provide protection to the industry with hundreds of hours are being dedicated to lobbying for consistent regulations. Fencing and Energy Regulations are just a couple of examples that are currently being worked on.
“There is no mistaking that SPASA Australia has gone from strength to strength since its inception”
When reflecting on my first year as Chairperson, it is evident that the association has covered a lot of ground, gained momentum and is continuing to build a strong and successful future for our industry. Progress does not happen without hard work and dedication. I would like to take this opportunity to thank SPASA Australia’s CEO, Lindsay McGrath for his unwavering dedication and passion for our industry. Congratulations on another massive year. Lindsay leads an equally passionate team who continue to put in the hard yards to not only support our members but also propel our industry forward. Thank you to Spiros Dassakis, Nicole Daws, Luke Daly, Peter Holland, Suzie Kent, Rodney Smith, David Stennett and Melinda Zoanetti. SPASA Australia is a very exciting board to be a part of. Amongst our board members, we possess a very diverse and incredibly strong array of skill sets that combined, ensure that SPASA Australia continues to provide our industry with the best representation possible. Thank you to my fellow board members, Troy Cartwright, John Daniel, Neil Davey, Elena Gosse, Garth Jackson, Andrew Jakovac, Adam Jaworski, Lynley Papineau, and Stefan Ossenberg. In summary, the past 12 months has seen SPASA Australia gain more members, offer more benefits, provide a higher level of representation with a fresh new look association, that has proven to be and will continue to be a vehicle for our industry to move forward into the future. Rob Kruber 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 the association is strong and is combined with a corporate governance and economic management model that produced a solid result long term. The 2018 consolidated operating result for SPASA Australia was a surplus of $468,351. The result is due to the consistency of existing services and the expansion of new events and media programs. Following the 2016/17 financial year report, 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. As a result, the financials for the 2017 year covered the six month period from July to December 2017 with a full years’ reporting for 2018. SPASA Australia reports all entities in a consolidated manner including the Registered Training Organisation and the Trustee of the 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 Audit Report for the year ending 31 December 2018, herein attached.
SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Key Points: • Operational efficiency and growth programs resulted in a full year net surplus of $468,351 with Net Assets and Equity of $4,267,549 • Membership has increased by 5% over the prior year, with fees totalling 17% of 2018 revenue. • Investment strategy included the SPLASH! acquisition, which delivered for the southern hemisphere the largest trade pool and spa expo on record. • Training represented 10% of total income. Investments have been made in expanding courses and qualifications to meet the industry’s educational and professional development requirements. • SPASA restructured its human resources to employ new staff members dedicated to infield support to members. • The SPASA office in NSW is owned by the Association. A valuation was conducted in the last quarter of 2018 reflecting a value of $770,000. Adam Jaworski Finance Audit and Compliance Committee Chairman

2018 ACCOMPLISHMENTS December 2018 saw the close of the second full calendar year of this national entity SPASA. Key milestones have been achieved earlier than planned due to the dedication of the Board, Committees, Staff and Members. The financial sustainability of SPASA through new revenue streams and business models was a five year goal delivered in two. Further expansion, partnerships and opportunities have already been put into place to ensure this security is robust and delivering value back to members long term. With great advocacy comes the requirement of comprehensive engagement with our members and industry stakeholders. Restructuring our organisation and resources has allowed for local staff to receive infield direct member engagement for a well researched policy development. Proactive and reactive lobbying has been invested in across the various levels of government with the
“The financial sustainability of SPASA... a five year goal delivered in two.”
support of targeted technical committees. Effective advocacy hinges on the ability to prioritise and to focus effort on the big picture issues, that stand to most substantially benefit our industry. Energy and water saving has become a regular discussion with regulators and new programs that promote self regulation such as Climate Care Certified are being well supported by members and Smart Approved Water Mark. Consumer events such as our Expos provide a pull strategy, increasing the total market share from competing industries. Our push in Media with Brands like SPLASH allow a professional message to resonate beyond our membership. Workplace relations is a growing area of significance impacting businesses on their ability to secure a reliable workforce. Our training and education programs support career path development and staff retention and our Leadership programs provide inspiration and aspiration. As with all things in a member based organisation we take our direction from the thousands on contact points our members provide each year. At SPASA we have never been more optimistic about and excited by the future of the Pool, Spa and outdoor living industry. We look forward to working with you across 2019 to tackle the challenges, and make the most of the great opportunities before us. Lindsay McGrath Chief Executive Officer

PROMOTION - SPLASH! TRADE SHOW The SPLASH! Pool & Spa Trade Show has grown to be the biggest of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Held on 1-2 August 2018 along with three different Aquatic conferences that formed the week, it encompassed all elements of the aquatic industry from residential to commercial planning, products and services. Building on the 2016 move to the larger, more modern facilities at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Surfers Paradise, the 2018 event was even bigger, more professional and more successful than ever before. Feedback from exhibitors and visitors following the event was overwhelmingly positive and supportive of the changes made. The trade show featured more than 120 exhibitor stands that spilled over into three halls, overflowing into the lobby and onto the outdoor terrace, making this the largest show ever. The show had the largest attendance ever, with total numbers coming in just shy of 3000 - an increase of 22 per cent over the 2016 numbers. The 2018 show also included additional events such as the very well received Women in Leadership seminar sponsored by Maytronics and the high energy Young Leaders networking evening sponsored by Pool Ranger. Those looking to mix education with a recreational challenge there was the Andrew Simons Memorial Golf Day sponsored by Lo-Chlor and the site tour of the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre. SPASA Australia has provisioned additional floor space in 2020, to cater for expansion and for those who missed out in 2018 due to the event selling out early. PAGE 16
SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2018

The Women in Leadership Seminar held at SPLASH!, sponsored by Maytronics, was an outstanding success and a precursor to the upcoming Women in Leadership Network.

It included presentations by Elena Gosse, CEO of AIS, Lynley Papineau, managing director of Aquatic Leisure Technologies; Roslyn Ronning, managing director of C-Change Potential; and Lee Salisbury, owner of Sapphire Wetwork Pool & Spa.

SPASA AUSTRALIA - ANNUAL REPORT 2018
Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 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 During the prior period the Company changed the financial year end from 30 June to 31 December. This comparative information covers the six month period from 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2017. 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 financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, 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 2018 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 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.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 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 The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows: Revenue from contracts with customers Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability. 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 tax exempt institution in terms of subsection 50-10 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.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 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. 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 allowance for expected credit losses. 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 allowance for expected credit losses. 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.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 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. 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 non-financial 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.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 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. 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. 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 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 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.

PAGE 37
Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 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 2018. 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.

Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2018 Note 8. 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. 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. Note 9. Non-current assets - intangibles Consolidated 2018 2017 $ $ Goodwill - at cost

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SWIMMING POOL & SPA ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA LTD Opinion We have audited the financial report, being special purpose financial report of Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd (the Company), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, 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 31 December 2018 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.
