This annual surplus consists of an operating surplus of $15,476, calculated after funding the $798,395 impact of disruption costs on the base operating deficit result of $782,919 from the Infrastruture Project gross surplus of $1,036,179, leaving an Infrastructure Project net surplus of $237,784. Total income for the period is $12,383,669.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS There have been no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the year. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD There have been no significant events occurring after the reporting period which may affect either the Company’s operations or results of those operations or the Company’s state of affairs. OBJECTIVES Sydney Dance Company relocated in mid-2018 to facilitate our premises to be renovated as part of the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct development. Our usual activities have been continued across this period of disruption, with some changes and impacts due to operating across three venues and fewer studios. Sydney Dance Company performed to an audience totalling over 49,000 in 2018. There were 66 Australian performances in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne, regional Queensland, Western Australia and Northern Territory and in 3 centres in regional NSW. The Company also performed to audiences in Chile, Columbia, Serbia, Slovenia, Wolfsburg in Germany as part of the Movimentos Festival, Théâtre National de Chaillot, Paris, France and 2 performances at the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying) in Taiwan. There were 17 international performances with a total audience of almost 19,000. Sydney Dance Company presented 14 different works across the year including nine commissioned new choreographic works which were supported by nine new music commissions. Sydney Dance Company’s education department presented more than 335 education activities, 4 school matinees and 65 school holiday workshops to almost 12,000 participants. The Pre-Professional Year (PPY) continues to grow in reputation as it completed its fifth year. PPY students concluded the year with a premier performance of newly choreographed works which attracted over 800 people over 3 nights. SDC commercial dance classes continue to be popular with almost 79,000 annual attendances. Over 3,900 classes were held 7 days a week for 49 weeks of the year.

The Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered nor the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors' and officers' liability and legal expenses' insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2018 1

CORPORATE INFORMATION The financial report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 24 April 2019. Sydney Dance Company is a not for-profit company limited by guarantee and as such has no authorised capital and is domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is: The Wharf, Pier 4, Hickson Road, Walsh Bay, NSW 2000. The Company exists to present live dance in Australia and overseas and to promote the study of dance. The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are further described in the directors' report.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of preparation The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ACNC Commission Act 2012, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commissions Act 2012. The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ACNC Commissions Act 2012, Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. The Company is a not-for-profit, private sector entity which is not publicly accountable. Therefore, the financial statements for the Company are tier 2 general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements (AASB - RDRs). The financial report has also been prepared mainly on a historical cost basis. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars ($). (b) Changes in accounting policy, disclosures, standards and interpretations New and amended standards and interpretations The Company applied AASB 9 Financial Instruments for the first time. The nature and effect of the changes as a result of adoption of this new accounting standard is described below. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2018, but do not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company. AASB 9 Financial Instruments AASB 9 Financial Instruments replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. The Company has applied AASB 9 retrospectively, with the initial application date of 1 January 2018. The classification and measurement requirements of AASB 9 did not have a significant impact in the Company.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Changes in accounting policy, disclosures, standards and interpretations (continued) New and amended standards and interpretations (continued) Certain Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective and have not been adopted by the Company for the annual reporting year ended 31 December 2018. The directors have not early adopted any of these new or amended standards or interpretations. The directors are in the process of assessing the impact of the applications of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective 1 January 2019 for not-for-profit entities), AASB 1058 Income of Not-For-Profit Entities (effective 1 January 2019) and AASB 16 Leases (effective 1 January 2019) and its amendments to the extent relevant to the financial statements of the Company. (c) Going concern The ability of the Company to maintain its operations is dependent inter alia on the continuing support of various Governments by way of grants. The Multi-partite Agreement was current for the period 2016â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2018 and renewed for the period 2019-2021 with the Australia Council for the Arts and Create NSW, subject to the Company continuing to meet the requirements of the Multi-partite Agreement. The Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Directors have undertaken a thorough assessment of going concern; this review considered the operating budgets, projected balance sheet position and detailed cash flow for the Company for the period 20192021. The combination of these considerations indicates that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as and when they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared under the going concern principle. (d) Current versus non-current classification The Company presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: - Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle - Held primarily for the purpose of trading - Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or - Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when: - It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle - It is held primarily for the purpose of trading - It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or - There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) Cash and short-term deposits Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and on hand and shortterm deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The Artist Development Program Fund represents restricted funds for use in developing and maintaining the Hephzibah Artist Development Program. Funds to the value of $256,082 were received from the Hephzibah Tintner Foundation and are to be used over a 10 year period for the professional development of young artists under the program. Funds are held in a separate bank account For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash, and short-term deposits as defined above. (f) Trade and other receivables A receivable represents the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Trade receivables, which generally have 14-30 days terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for expected credit losses. (g) Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. (h) Impairment of financial assets The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. (i) Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY

Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2018 2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Property, plant and equipment (continued) Buildings – over 20 years Plant and equipment - over 2 to 5 years Office equipment - over 5 years Furniture and fittings - over 5 years Computer equipment - over 3 years An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal (i.e., at the date the recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. (j) Impairment of non-financial assets The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s (CGU's) fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case, the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. (k) Leases The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset (or assets), even if that asset is (or those assets are) not explicitly specified in an arrangement. A lease is classified at the inception date as a finance lease or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Company is classified as a finance lease. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease. Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(l) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost. Due to their short-term nature they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. (m) Provisions and employee benefit liabilities General Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income net of any reimbursement. Wages and salaries Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary beneďŹ ts, expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employee's services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. All other short-term employee beneďŹ t obligations are presented as payables. Long service leave and annual leave The Company does not expect its long service leave or annual leave benefits to be settled wholly within 12 months of each reporting date. The Company recognises a liability for long service leave measured as 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 high-quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. (n) Contributed equity The membership fees were contributed by the initial members upon establishment of the Company. In accordance with the Constitution, members are not entitled to any reimbursement or return of initial membership fees upon ceasing to be a member.

The specific recognition criteria described below must also be met before revenue is recognised. Box office Box office revenue is recognised on delivery of the performance.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(o) Revenue recognition (continued) Fundraising, Sponsorship and Government grants Non-reciprocal Fundraising, Sponsorship and Government Grant income are brought into account in the year they are received. For reciprocal Fundraising, Sponsorship and Government Grant income, the income can be deferred to a future year if there is a contract or agreement linking it to a specific future project or event. Education revenue Education revenue is recognised as revenue in the period which the service is provided. Income received in advance is deferred and will be recognised in the following year. Sponsorship in-kind Sponsorship in-kind is brought to account as revenue in the year to which the equal and corresponding expense relates. Consequently, the revenue and expenses are recognised in the same accounting year. Commercial revenue - Dance classes Dance classes are recognised as revenue within the period in which they are provided. Dance class tickets have an expiry date of 6 months (2017: 6 months). The revenue from unused dance class tickets at year end is deferred into the following year after an adjustment is made for tickets that will remain unused at the date of expiry. Whilst 3, 5 and 10 pack dance class tickets expire after 6 months, dance class gift vouchers are subject to the new 3 year expiry legislation. The Company also sell performance vouchers which are limited to performances within a specific year. Commercial revenue - Other Other commercial revenue includes studio hire and rental revenue from a pop-up cafe both of which are recognised when earned. School holiday workshops are also classified as other commercial revenue and revenue is also recognised when earned. General gift vouchers General gift vouchers are recognised as revenue within the period they are utilised. Gift vouchers have an expiry date of 3 years. The income from unused gift vouchers are deferred into the following year. Performance vouchers Performance vouchers are recognised as revenue when they are sold. Performance vouchers must be used for performances in a specific year. (p) Finance income Interest income Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. (q) Income tax The Company has not provided for income tax as it is exempted from income tax by virtue of section 50-5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(r) Goods and services tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Commitments and contingencies, if any, are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as part of operating cash flows. (s) Government grants Government grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item it is recognised as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. Any funding not spent on the planned activities agreed by both parties, at the start of the calendar year, is required to be repaid unless other arrangements have been agreed to.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Estimates and assumptions The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. Long service leave provision The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at balance date. In determining the present value of the liability, attrition rates and pay increases have been taken into account. Annual leave provision The liability for annual leave provision is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at balance date. In determining the present value of the liability and pay increase through inflation have been taken into account. Unused dance class tickets The revenue from unused dance class tickets at year end is deferred into the following year after an adjustment is made for tickets that will remain unused at the date of expiry. Estimates of the future use of these tickets, based on historical use of tickets, are applied in the calculation of this value.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Sydney Dance Company Opinion We have audited the financial report of Sydney Dance Company (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012, including: a)

giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Regulation 2013.

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 Group 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 ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor’s report is the directors’ report accompanying the financial report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as 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. 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.

Report on the requirements of the NSW Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and the NSW Charitable Fundraising Regulations 2015 We have audited the financial report as required by Section 24(2) of the NSW Charitable Fundraising Act 1991. Our procedures included obtaining an understanding of the internal control structure for fundraising appeal activities and examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting compliance with the accounting and associated record keeping requirements for fundraising appeal activities pursuant to the NSW Charitable Fundraising Act 1991 and the NSW Charitable Fundraising Regulations 2015. Because of the inherent limitations of any assurance engagement, it is possible that fraud, error or noncompliance may occur and not be detected. An audit is not designed to detect all instances of noncompliance with the requirements described in the above-mentioned Act and Regulations as an audit is not performed continuously throughout the period and the audit procedures performed in respect of compliance with these requirements are undertaken on a test basis. The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis. Opinion In our opinion: a)

the financial report of the Company has been properly drawn up and associated records have been properly kept during the financial year ended 31 December 2018, in all material respects, in accordance with: i.

sections 20(1), 22(1-2), 24(1-3) of the NSW Charitable Fundraising Act 1991;

ii.

sections 10(6) and 11 of the NSW Charitable Fundraising Regulations 2015;

the money received as a result of fundraising appeals conducted by the Company during the financial year ended 31 December 2018 has been properly accounted for and applied, in all material respects, in accordance with the above mentioned Act and Regulations.
