2 Annual Report 2019 Hockey NSW PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The past twelve months was an exciting time for our sport both locally and on the national stage. There were a number of memorable achievements and that we should look back proudly on as a state.
First and foremost, it was incredible to see the NSW Pride and Hockey One brought to life during 2019. This a new frontier for our sport and I’m pleased to say that the launch both on and off the field was successful.
Our Men’s team, led by the formidable Brent Livermore, put on a masterclass throughout the tournament. They claimed the inaugural Championships after an undefeated run during the regular season and semi-finals.
Off the field, we were able to secure many new fruitful partnerships and develop a passionate fan-base which included over500 foundation members. I look forward to seeing what our teams on the field and in the office are able to produce during the 2020 season.
NSW continued to exert dominance at the Australian Championships throughout the year, bringing home close to twenty medals including twelve golds. In a display of the depth and talent we have here in NSW, we also fielded four teams in most age divisions. It’s pleasing to see so much success on the field, particularly in our junior ranks. It all points to a bright future for our State.
It was another big year for our State Championships and they continue to go from strength to strength. I would like to thank all of the wonderful volunteers that help at these events throughout the year. Hockey NSW would not be able to run its State Championships without these individuals who contribute so much to our sport.
Receiving recognition for your hard-work and achievements is always pleasing, and it was once again fantastic to see our sport and community members acknowledged for theirs during the year. For the second year in-a-row, Hockey NSW were a finalist in the Organisation of the Year category at the NSW Sports Awards, while Craig Beed and Zeke Newman were finalists for Administrator and Official of the Year respectively.
I would like to commend the work of David Thompson and the entire Hockey NSW staff during the year. In addition to the high-standard of governance and oversight they already bring to our sport, the staff also took on the mammoth task of launching a new team in a new national league. This included a multitude of responsibilities and tasks above and beyond their regular workload and I’m proud to say that our execution in terms of the NSW Pride was leading.
In closing, I would like to also thank the Hockey NSW Board of Directors for their leadership and commitment throughout the year. I would also like to thank the Directors who have stepped down from the Board during the year for their contribution to our sport. We have many exciting plans for hockey in the works during 2020 and I’m looking forward to expanding the reach of our sport during 2020.

The financial statements are for Hockey New South Wales Limited as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Hockey New South Wales Limited is a Company limited by guarantee.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1. Reporting Entity Basis of Preparation The financial statements are Tier 2 general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.
Statement of Compliance Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 14th February 2020.
Accounting Policies (a) EQUIPMENT AND MOTOR VEHICLES Each class of equipment and motor vehicles are recognised at their cost, less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. Equipment and motor vehicles are initially measured on a cost basis. The carrying amount for equipment and motor vehicles is reviewed by the Directors annually, to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets' employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts. The Australian Accounting Standards do not require not for profit entities such as the Company to revalue their non-current assets to current market value, therefore these assets are recognised at their cost less any adjustments for amortisation and/or depreciation. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Asset classes carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the profit and loss.
(b) DEPRECIATION The depreciable amount of fixed assets including any buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful life to the Company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Right to Use Assets, such as leases, are depreciated on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are:-
Class of Equipment and Motor Vehicles Depreciation Rate Per Annum Computer & Office Equipment 10% - 50% Game Development Equipment 10% - 50% Office Fixtures & Fittings 8% - 40% Motor Vehicles 25%
(c) LEASES Application of new accounting standard AASB 16, effective 1st January 2019. Operating leases for printers are deemed to be low-value assets and not accounted for under the standard. Premises lease for offices at Sydney Olympic Hockey Centre, Shirley Strickland Avenue Sydney Olympic Park is a two year lease commencing 1st March 2019 and expires on 28th February 2021. This lease has been accounted for under the methods prescribed by AASB 16 accounting for both the right to use asset and the current and non-current liability of the lease commitments. The asset is depreciated on a straight line basis. An implicit interest rate of 5% has been applied as there is no financing of funds required to meet the lease obligations. (d) REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE Repairs and maintenance costs and minor renewals are charged against income in the period in which they are incurred. (e) INCOME TAX No liability for income tax has been recognised as the Company is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

here it is not possi le to estimate the recovera le amount of an asset class, the recovera le amount is estimated of the cash generating unit to hich the class of assets elong. here an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is de ited against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the e tent that the impairment loss does not e ceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.
