WHO WE ARE The Lotteries Commission of Western Australia, established under the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended) (the Act)), is a statutory authority responsible for selling lottery games and distributing the profits for the benefit of the Western Australian community.
WHAT WE DO Through a State-wide network of lottery Retailers the Lotteries Commission sells and markets a variety of lottery games, namely Lotto (Saturday Lotto, OZ Lotto, Powerball Lotto and Super 66), Scratch’n'Win instant lottery tickets, Cash 3 and Soccer Pools. The profits from the sale of lottery products are returned to the community in various ways according to the provisions of the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended) (see Enabling Legislation), including, via State Treasury, for the support of public health services, and for arts and sports organisations. The Lotteries Commission also distributes directly a significant proportion of the profits from lottery sales through grant funding programs, which we administer throughout our Community Funding section.
WHAT WE AIM FOR The Lotteries Commission fulfils the objectives of the Lotteries Commission Act and operates in accordance with relevant legislation, Government policy and ethical standards. Our Statement of Strategic Intent states that: “Our purpose is to provide funds and support to the community of Western Australia through excellence and integrity in our lottery business. In order to achieve this we -
?? perform to the highest ethical, professional and commercial standards ?? work in partnership with others who are committed to strengthening and building community life ?? develop productive working relationships with our business partners ?? create a corporate culture which encourages the unique contribution of each person.
We aim to be recognised as a key corporate citizen of Western Australia and a leader in the global lottery industry and all our areas of business.”

CEO’S REPORT The Commission takes pride in our unique position as both a significant member of the business sector and an important source of support for the community. Consequently we are pleased to report on another record year for the Lotteries Commission. Our sales were $455.2 million, $24.1 million (5.6%) above budget and $10.5 million (2.4%) higher than the previous year, enabling us to return a record amount of $134.1 million to our funding beneficiaries. For the first time our support to the State’s health services exceeded $70 million while our funding to the arts, through ArtsWA, and to sports, through the Department for Sports and Recreation, totalled $8.9 million each. Our direct grants program continued to support services for the disadvantaged and to contribute to the overall quality of life, but was also further broadened in response to community needs. The launch of a new funding initiative - ‘Connected Families, Connected Communities’ – and our business / community partnership forums were amongst the most significant community focused initiatives this year.
THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN ELECTION AND LOTTERIES LEGISLATION One of the first initiatives of the new Government was to establish a task force to review the ‘machinery of government’. The Lotteries Commission was subsequently classified as a ‘government enterprise’, reporting to the Minister for Government Enterprises, allowing us to develop our business based on appropriate commercial principles while still following relevant government policies. One of the first matters on which the incoming Minister, the Honourable Nick Griffiths MLC, was briefed was the response of the previous government to the review of the Lotteries Commission’s legislation. This review had made some relatively minor recommendations for amendments to the legislation. After careful consideration and consultation with the Commission, the Minister concluded that there were no compelling reasons for any of the changes to be implemented, particularly as the most pressing amendments to the Act had been implemented before the review was completed. Consequently, no further action will be taken at this time, though this position will be revisited if it becomes apparent that the legislation requires review.
GAMBLING POLICY AND FEDERAL LEGISLATION The Western Australian Government has always maintained a conservative gambling policy, one which we believe is consistent with our role of raising funds to enhance the overall quality of life in our community. This policy position was confirmed by the incoming new Labor government in February 2001. As a result, the public debate in other Australian states on the social impact of gambling, and in particular poker machines, has been much more muted in Western Australia.
Page 14 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
It has been this debate which led to the Federal Government’s recent legislation banning most forms of gambling on the Internet. Recognising that the lottery industry does not contribute to the incidence of problem gambling this legislation exempted lottery operators from this ban. While research confirms that our business has no significant impact on levels of problem gambling we continue to support services for those with gambling related problems. As members of the Problem Gambling Support Committee, established to monitor and address problem gambling in Western Australia, we provide financial and strategic support to Breakeven, a program which provides counselling services for individuals and their families affected by problem gambling.
THE RETAIL AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The Commission relies on a network of small businesses to sell lottery products in Western Australia and while our retailers have earned record commissions, we recognise that this has not been an easy year for them. Increasing competition for the discretionary spend, the impact of the GST, changing customer shopping patterns and increasing rents have all created considerable pressure on members of our network. Our support for members of our network apart from our overall marketing strategies, includes comprehensive training, information services support, access to a dedicated area manager, quality point of sale materials and special seminars. We also recognise and reward performance through our annual Peak Performance Award Program. This year we have developed a new CD Rom training package particularly to support regional retailers for staff training. As always, we have had to make some difficult decisions this year in our product distribution policies. These must take into account the interests of current members of our network while recognising changing shopping patterns in our market. Some members of our network have expressed concern about the potential impact of the Internet on their business. During the forthcoming year we will review our distribution policies and decide whether we will offer a Lotto Internet purchasing service to our players. This service is already available from over 20 other lotteries around the world including one Australian operator. Currently Internet sales generate only a very small proportion of their revenue and there is little if any evidence of any impact on traditional distribution channels. If we do not offer such a service, however, there is a risk that players will turn to other sources for their lottery purchases, reducing in the long term our capacity to fund our beneficiaries. Therefore, while we will continue to develop and support our current retail network as our most important distribution channel, we will also explore the opportunities presented by new technology.
AUSTRALIAN LOTTERY INDUSTRY AND NATIONAL ISSUES More than 80% of our sales revenue comes from the nationally administered Lotto products and Soccer Pools. Consequently, our partnership with the other
Page 15 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS members of the Australian lotteries industry (Australian Lotto Bloc) is critical to our business success. During the year representatives of the Bloc met four times for routine business management meetings and twice for special planning meetings. A major Bloc joint initiative was the development of Cash Bonanza, a new instant ticket with a TV game show component, which was launched in February 2001. While the product was not as successful as anticipated the project provided valuable experience in product development.
TECHNOLGY Our ongoing investment in technology is documented elsewhere in this report. One of the largest and most important capital investments the Commission has ever made was the implementation of the new PRO:SYS gaming system. The success of this complex project reflects the dedication and professionalism of the team assigned to the project.
OUR BOARD AND STAFF In November 2000, Mr Lloyd Stewart resigned after almost 7 years as Chairman of the Commission. Mr Stewart’s contribution to our business was an outstanding one. He combined considerable commercial experience with a deep understanding of the community sector. He was a tireless ambassador for our business and I place on record our appreciation for his service to the community. Our new chairman is Mr Kevin Campbell AM, a well known Perth businessman with significant media experience as well as a long track record in community service. We look forward to his contribution to the development of the business. Mrs Deborah McGeoch and Mrs Jenny Rogers left the Board after completing two three-year terms. We thank them both for their service and welcome Mrs Corin Lamont and Mrs Anne Conti who were appointed during the year, joining Mr Geoffrey Harris, Mr Roger Lewis and Mrs Karen McGay. Apart from the usual responsibilities of Board membership, our Commissioners are regularly called to represent the organisation at many public functions associated with our funding activities. I would like to place on record our appreciation to all Board members for their support in this. A meeting of the Board in May 2001 was held in Midland, providing an excellent opportunity for our Board and Minister to visit various community groups and projects in which the Lotteries Commission has been involved. Our ‘balanced scorecard’ identifies our staff as a key stakeholder group and sets out our objectives and performance in this area. A report against this scorecard, which includes staff training, leadership development, the development of flexible work practices and a family friendly workplace is contained later in this report. During the coming 12 months a priority project known as ‘ Our People 2003’ will address the core issues affecting our development of a skilled and motivated team.
Page 16 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
INTERNATIONAL ROLE In 2000 I was appointed inaugural chairman of the newly formed Asia Pacific Lottery Association (APLA), whose 18 members includes the lotteries of Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, New Zealand and Australia. The Western Australian Lotteries Commission provides administrative support to the organisation. The role of the APLA Chairman includes representing the regional membership at the World Lottery Association (WLA) executive. This has enabled us to develop closer links with our international colleagues and observe the challenges common to the lotteries industry. A major issue for the WLA has been Internet gaming and cross-border gambling. Recent figures suggest there are now over 1,400 different gaming sites available operated by an estimated 200 different operators. While lottery sites account for only a small proportion of these, the Internet offers access to Lotto games offering top prizes of hundreds of millions of dollars and even lotteries which offer players the chance to play for ‘free’ for a multi-million dollar jackpot. WLA’s policy position is that its membership (around 150 state authorised lotteries) should conduct their operations only where they have a licence to do so. This requires lotteries to ensure that tickets are only purchased by residents within their jurisdiction. While WLA members may be willing to observe such a protocol, government policies on competition and free trade may create compliance problems. A more significant issue for state authorised lotteries is the impact of unauthorised operators whose activities divert lotteries revenue ‘off shore’.
CHALLENGES FOR THE FUTURE Despite the achievements of the year, maintaining our current performance will not be easy. Our products are very mature and Saturday Lotto, which accounts for over 50% of our turnover, is now over 22 years old. Our overall sales growth in 2000/01 has come primarily from the unprecedented run of jackpots in both OZ Lotto and in Powerball Lotto but it is significant that sales for the first ever $30 million Powerball jackpot in January 2001 were 26% lower than for the first $20 million jackpot two years earlier. We expect modest growth in Saturday Lotto in response to the higher level of Bonus Draws following New South Wales joining the game in December 2000. New player loyalty programs and increasing the membership of our Player Registration Service will be amongst the most important strategies in maintaining sales of our Lotto products. In common with the other Australian states we have seen downward trends in sales of instant lotteries. During the next year we will introduce new game designs, higher prize payouts and new promotions but recognise that reversing this trend will not be easy. One of the most significant projects in the coming year will be the development of a stronger corporate brand which will effectively communicate the values
Page 17 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS underpinning all our activities and reinforce the link between our products and our support for the community. We have forecast negative growth for 2001/02. A forecast which reflects the overall economic climate, the limitations of a market based only in Western Australia, increasing costs (especially of technology regarded as essential in today’s business), the unpredictablility of the instance of jackpots combined with the potential impact of Internet gambling and other forms of competition. While aiming to exceed our sales targets, the direct relationship between our sales and levels of funding for our beneficiaries (and the knowledge that our arts and sports beneficiaries budget according to our forecasts) has encouraged us to be cautious in forecasting. In general terms the economy has been challenging for businesses during the past twelve months. The key issues which have effected the retail trade are fluctuations in energy prices, depreciation of the $A and the implementation of the GST. However, the outlook for the Western Australian economy is optimistic with business conditions forecast to improve, mainly as a result of increased business investment on significant major projects. These factors should contribute to a revival in consumer confidence and subsequently support consumer spending. Indicators suggest a forecast Consumer Price Index of 3.25%, as compared to the previous 12 months CPI of 3.0% (Reference: Treasury Department of Western Australia) Our challenge in the forthcoming year will be to find ways to grow our business responsibly. If we are not able to do this then we face the prospect that within three years our direct grants program will be reduced, necessitating difficult choices about funding priorities. All our beneficiaries can rest assured that we will be doing our utmost to avoid this scenario and we look forward to their continued support for our lottery business.
JAN STEWART CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 28TH AUGUST 2001

ENABLING LEGISLATION The Lotteries Commission, established in 1933, operates under the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended) (the Act) and in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the operation of lottery games. Under the Act the Commission has the following responsibilities and powers; ?? To conduct lotteries other than continuing lotteries in the whole or any part of the State ?? To conduct games of Lotto ?? To conduct Soccer Pools ?? To perform any other function vested in it by the Act. The last function includes the important role of distributing funds to eligible organisations in accordance with the provisions of the Act. The Commission is responsible to the Minister for Government Enterprises. The Minister appoints a Board of Commissioners (the Accountable Authority) which is responsible for overseeing all operations of the Commission. One of the Board’s key responsibilities is to make recommendations for the Minister’s approval concerning the distribution of funds available to community organisations through the Commission’s Direct Grants programs. The Act specifies that a prescribed portion of the net subscriptions received by the Commission be distributed through State Treasury to hospitals, sports and the arts, and directly to eligible organisations including The University of Western Australia (for the Perth International Arts Festival) and to ScreenWest for the Western Australian commercial film industry. The Commission plays no part in the allocation of funds deposited in the State Treasury’s Hospital Fund and the Sports and Arts Lotteries Accounts. It is responsible for distributing all funds available to eligible organisations through its community funding programs. This includes allocations for the Perth International Arts Festival and the commercial film industry through the statutory authority, ScreenWest.

OUR LOTTERY BUSINESS Strategic Objective: Optimise product sales
Result: Record sales of $455.2 million, 2.4% above previous year (target $431.1 million)
Result: % of adults buying our products; 79%
The strong performance of all our Lotto brands more than compensated for lower sales of instant lottery tickets and resulted in an overall growth in sales of 2.4% over the previous year. Amongst the year’s sales and marketing highlights were the successful launch of 25-game slikpiks, record jackpot levels for both OZ Lotto and Powerball Lotto and a mid-year $20 million Bonus Draw for Saturday Lotto.
LOTTO PRODUCTS Overall, our Lotto products recorded a 6.1% increase in sales for the year - a good result in light of the prevailing economic conditions and the impact of external factors such as a significant increase in fuel prices and the introduction of the Goods and Service Tax. While sales for all Lotto games were higher than the previous year the higher sales for Powerball Lotto (which recorded growth of 21.4%) and for OZ Lotto (growth of 8.5%) reflects the impact of a higher than expected number of jackpots during the year.
Saturday Lotto The Commission’s most important product continued to perform well with sales increasing $2.58 million over the previous year to $230.5 million. The performance reflects a steady increase in base sales as well as good sales for the year’s six Bonus Draws. In March 2001, following the implementation of the new PRO:SYS gaming system a 25 game Slikpik was launched with a television and press campaign supported by Point of Sale material. At a price of exactly $10 for Saturday Lotto, this Slikpik option quickly gained popularity resulting in a 3% sales growth. By the end of the financial year Slikpik 25 tickets was the highest revenue generating of all our Slikpik products. New South Wales Lotteries joined the Australian Lotto Bloc in December 2000 making Saturday Lotto, like OZ Lotto and Powerball Lotto, a truly nationwide game for the first time. As a result of the increased player base the average weekly prize pool for the game has increased by 9% and players have benefited from higher first Division prize pools for Bonus Draws. Following the success of the end of year ‘megadraw’ in December 1999, another megadraw was staged on 30th December 2000 with a prize pool of $22 million ( $1 million more than the prize twelve months earlier). The draw generated sales of over $14.2 million which, although $2.2 million lower than the
Page 20 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS inaugural megadraw (which coincided with the new Millennium), was significantly higher than had been budgeted. The second highest sales for a single draw were achieved on June 30 2001 with a $20 million Bonus Draw. The high division one prize pool, made possible by the inclusion of NSW in the Lotto Bloc, generated sales of over $10 million.

OZ LOTTO Like Powerball Lotto, sales of OZ Lotto are heavily dependant on the incidence of jackpots and during 2000/01 the game benefited from 32 jackpots compared to 26 the previous year. Sales of $55 million were almost $6 million over budget and 8.5% higher than the previous year. Of the jackpots which occurred, 17 offered a division one prize pool of $4 million or more, compared to 12 the previous year. Similar to Powerball Lotto, this game achieved a record jackpot level of $15 million for the first time. The impact of the record jackpot level can be seen in the sales for this draw which were almost $1 million higher than the average sales achieved for $10 million jackpots in the same year.

Powerball Lotto Of all our games, Powerball Lotto is the most heavily dependant on jackpots with many players choosing to play only at high jackpot levels. Sales for the year totalled $85.9 million, $20 million higher than had been budgeted and 21.4% higher than the previous year. The game benefited greatly from more jackpots than had been anticipated and from jackpots reaching record amounts. In January 2001, for the first time the game jackpotted to $30 million - $10 million higher than Australia’s previous highest ever jackpot. The jackpot resulted in sales of $7.32 million in Western Australia; almost 7.5 times the average weekly sales for Powerball in a ‘base week’. While the record jackpot generated strong sales for Powerball Lotto it is worth noting that the sales recorded for the record $30 million Powerball Lotto jackpot were actually lower than were achieved for the first $20 million jackpot level which occurred in 1999. The episode illustrated that new record jackpot levels do not necessarily result in record increases in sales. Lower average sales for high level jackpots ($15 million and $20 million) during the year compared to the previous year also confirm that it is unrealistic to expect the same level of player excitement for a high value jackpot when this jackpot level has already been reached previously.

SCRATCH’N’WIN In contrast to the previous year when sales of our instant lottery tickets (marketed under the Scratch’n’Win brand) grew by 5.1%, in 2001 sales declined by 13.6% to $72.6 million. Declining instant lottery sales were experienced by all other states in Australia other than South Australia which generated additional sales following the launch of the very popular $3 Crossword ticket (introduced in Western Australia in 1995). The declines were between 8% and 16% and can be attributed, at least in part, to the impact of the introduction of GST and high petrol prices on the available disposable income for impulse purchase products such as Scratch’n’Win. In our market the decline was most evident for the lower priced tickets with sales of $1 tickets falling by $4.8million or 25%. Again, the decline in sales for $1 tickets has been experienced by all Australian lotteries in recent years. $3 tickets continued to be the strongest performing price point and the highlight for this category was the new $3 Pyramids bingo style game which contributed $2.5 million in sales in just over 7 weeks. In February 2001, a new product, which linked a national TV game-show with a instant lottery ticket, was launched nationally. “Cash Bonanza” was the first national Australian television game show linked to an instant lottery ticket. The product and show was run in conjunction with all other Australian lotteries as well as media partners Grundy and Channel 9 television. The product took several years to develop with Golden Casket (Queensland) playing a key role in coordinating the project. Disappointingly, the new product fell well short of expectations, achieving just under 25% of anticipated sales. Due to this disappointing performance and poor
Page 23 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS television ratings all states agreed not to continue to air the show beyond the 19-week pilot.

Since the product was launched in May 1991 Telespin has been a flagship game for Scratch’n’Win and before the launch of Cash Bonanza in 2001, Western Australia was the only Australian State with a television game-show based on an instant lottery product. In all, Telespin has generated sales of more than $102 million and raised over $27 million for Lotteries community funding. The decision to terminate the game this year followed several years of steadily declining sales which confirmed that the product was in the final stages of its product life cycle. Sales of $5 and $10 instant tickets were lower than the previous year. This reflects the far lower level of excitement associated with the $5 Set for Life ticket and the $10 Mortgage Buster ticket compared to the previous year when both tickets were new concepts.
OTHER PRODUCTS Super 66, an add-on product to Lotto, continued the long term decline which has been seen in all Australian lotteries which offer this spiel game. Sales totalled $5.1 million, 5.8% lower than the previous year. Marketing support for the product is limited to point of sale branding because of the very limited potential sales growth for this product.
Page 24 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
Cash 3 sales rose 3.4% with sales of $4.4 million for the year. Promotion of this product, which accounts for just 1% of the Commission’s total lottery sales, is mainly through the nightly draw results broadcast on Channel 7 and GWN. Soccer Pools , our sports based game, continued as a minor product in our portfolio, albeit one with a loyal following. Sales for the year totalled $1.6 million; 11% higher than the previous year thanks mainly to high level jackpots throughout July/August 2000 and again in May 2001.
OUR RETAILERS
Strategic Objective: Optimal marketing and distribution of products
Result: Marketing & distribution costs as % of sales; 3.24% (target 3.5%)
Our products are delivered through a network of almost 600 small retailers of which 480 ‘on-line’ outlets offer all lottery products while 100 sell only Scratch’n’Win products. We have continued to maintain a conservative distribution policy which takes into account the interests of members of our retail network, changes in shopping patterns and the retail market as well as the overriding need to raise funds for the community. During the year three outlets were added to the network in the suburbs of Belmont, Mindarie and Mandurah. During the same period two online outlets and twelve Instant Only outlets were terminated. There were 74 changes in ownership of outlets during the year, compared to 91 changes in the previous year. The impact of the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax on small businesses has been well documented and was a major challenge to the members of our network. The tax introduction necessitated major changes to business practises for some retailers to ensure compliance with the new tax regime.
Training initiatives Managing one of the largest (geographically) lottery jurisdictions in the world poses particular challenges including the delivery of high quality training to all our retailers. During the year we developed a CD-based training package to enable our retailers and their staff to undergo training at their own pace and in their own time from their home or business. Developed by Q_Multimedium the training program combines sound training principles, the latest interactive software and plenty of humour.
Page 25 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
Rewarding Performance We consistently promote best practice in marketing and presentation of our products and customer service. We also encourage retailers to develop local promotions at the point of purchase to maximise sales. The efforts of our most professional, successful and creative retailers are highlighted and rewarded throughout the year through an incentive program which culminates in our annual Peak Performance Awards in August. On this night outstanding members of our network are recognised and one retailer is named ‘Retailer of the Year’. In 2001 the standard of entries for the awards was particularly high, further highlighting the success of this incentive program. At the award dinner in August 2001 the Minister for Government Enterprises, the Honourable Nick Griffiths MLC, presented the Retailer of the Year Award to Lois and Drago Bosnjak of Broome Lottery Centre.

OUR MARKETING PROCESSES
Strategic Objective: Optimal marketing and distribution of products
Result: Marketing and distribution costs as a % of sales; 3.24% (target 3.5%)
Marketing initiatives During the year we extended our “What’s your Lotto Dream ?” campaign with two new television commercials which presented dream scenarios involving a luxury camping trip and a new sports car. Special promotions included a ‘Lotto Words’ promotion, which was run in conjunction with WIN TV and regional radio stations throughout the state. The promotion gave regional players a chance to use a non-winning Lotto ticket to win $25,000 by listening to their local radio and watching WIN TV. A new branding campaign for our instant lottery products was introduced in February 2001 with a new positioning line “How do you Scratch’n’Win ?”. This campaign will be further developed in 2002 to include evidence of winners from the Scratch’n’Win product. Scratch’n’Win promotions conducted a “Save me a Seat” promotion, conducted in conjunction with The West Australian newspaper. The promotion encouraged players to spend a little extra for the chance to win tickets to some of Perth’s premier entertainment events as well as a major weekly prize of a short break holiday. This promotion succeeded in lifting weekly sales lifting by an average of just over $170,000 per week and generated over 94,000 entries. A “Splash out on the Pools and Win” promotion was run as a national initiative to promote the Soccer Pools in February and March 2001. Players were encouraged to buy a 12 game Slikpik or coupon entry in order to enter the competition to win one of ten System 14 entries. This promotion did not result in increased sales, but rather represented a reward for our regular players.
Market Research Accurate and timely market research information is crucial to our business. During the year we called for tenders for a strategic research partner and subsequently appointed Market Equity to this role. Market Equity are working not only as providers of market research but also helping in the “management of knowledge” within the Commission. The management of information and “knowledge” will be a key project in the forthcoming year. Towards the end of financial year, we established a ‘continuous tracking’ research study. The study provides information on lottery purchasing behaviour, attitudes to and awareness of advertising and marketing initiatives and enables sales performance and marketing activity to be monitored simultaneously. The tracker will provide crucial information on brand health and positioning and the effectiveness of campaigns for both our corporate and product brands.
Page 27 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
Relationship Marketing We have recognised for some time the need to develop a customer relationship program within our overall marketing strategy. With a membership of over 163,000 the Commission’s Player Registration Service, which ensures that players are sent cheques for unclaimed prizes on Lotto, Soccer Pools and Cash 3 tickets, offers a good platform for such a program. During the year enhancements to the Player Registration Service were tested in a controlled environment. The early results have been encouraging and plans are now being made to further improve the service, and develop a fully integrated customer relationship program.

OUR SUPPORT FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Strategic Objective: Meeting statutory and direct community funding requirements
Result: Grant payments as a % of total sales; 29.9% (target 27%)
Funding Distribution
PIAF $3.0m Sport $8.9m Arts $8.9m ScreenWest $3.3m
Hospital Fund $71.4m
Direct Grants $38.5m
Above all, our lottery business is driven by our mission to raise funds for the Western Australian community. In 2000/01 thanks to record sales, our funding to the community totalled $134.1 million - the highest in the Commission’s history and $5 million higher than the previous year. Our legislation dictates that the profits from our games will benefit hospitals, sports, arts and a very broad range of community organisations. Because our funding for hospitals, sports and arts is calculated as a percentage of our net lottery profit (our sales minus prizes paid and add on commission) the performance of our lottery business has a direct impact on these beneficiaries. Our higher than anticipated sales has therefore meant an increase in our funding to these stakeholders as well as making more funds available for us to manage through our direct grant funding programs.
OUR SUPPORT FOR HOSPITALS AND PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICES Western Australia’s public health service is by far the biggest ‘winner’ from our lottery business and, in accordance with our legislation, 40% of net subscriptions (our sales minus the amount paid in prizes) is provided to the Hospital Fund held by Treasury for the benefit of the state’s public hospitals and health services. In 2001 this totalled $71.4 million. These funds go into a
Page 29 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS general revenue account and contribute to a range of major capital works projects. Because we play no part in the allocation of these funds and consequently, in the past it has not been possible to highlight specific areas within the state health system where Lotteries funding has made a contribution. In the future, we hope to work with the Health Department in identifying and publicising how Lotteries funding continues to make a major difference to the quality of the health care enjoyed by Western Australians.
OUR SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS As with our contribution to the Hospital Fund, the level of Lotteries funding provided for arts and sports is determined as a percentage of our profits. 5% of net subscriptions is provided to the Ministry of Culture and the Arts for distribution by ArtsWA to arts projects around the state, under the Recreation, Arts and Culture Program. Funding provided to ArtsWA in 1999/00 was $8.9 million, compared to $8.7 million the previous year. Whilst we play no part in determining how this component of our community funding is distributed, the following projects were amongst those supported by our funding to ArtsWA: ?? Tours of art events throughout regional Western Australia and for projects taking place in regional areas including Albany, Geraldton, Esperance, the Kimberley and Pilbara region; ?? Indigenous art projects ranging from visual arts projects to music and dance activities; ?? A multicultural arts officer based at Kulcha, Fremantle to support art activities of those from non-English speaking backgrounds; ?? The ‘Artflight’ program to help Western Australian artists undertake activities of strategic significance to the development and promotion of their arts practice; ?? A Young People and the Arts program to improve young people’s access to and participation in a broad range of arts and cultural activities. In addition to our funding for the arts through ArtsWA a significant proportion of our direct grants funding is used to support arts-related activities. Amongst the most important of these is our support for the Western Australian film industry and for the Perth International Arts Festival as well as our funding for initiatives which promote access to the performing arts (see below).
OUR SUPPORT FOR SPORTS Like the arts, sporting organisations in Western Australia receive 5% of the net subscriptions of our games. In 2001 $8.9 million was provided to the Department of Sport and Recreation for distribution to sporting organisations around the state. Amongst those to benefit from these funds were 104 state sports associations with $3.5 million allocated towards programs that these associations had identified as priorities. A large proportion went to help cover the travel costs of State teams involved in national championships and the employment of staff. The Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS) was again one of the biggest beneficiaries and received $3.1 million from the Sports Lottery Account. Almost
Page 30 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
$1 million of the $8.9 million was allocated to country sport including $300,000 to enable events normally only contested in Perth (such as Westar Football and Western Warriors cricket matches) to be taken to a range of locations around Western Australia. Our support for sport and recreation in Western Australia extends well beyond our statutory funding to the Department for Sport & Recreation. Through our direct grant funding during the year we have continued to support Surf Life Saving Clubs, fund the development of recreation trails throughout the state and provide recreation opportunities for people with disabilities.
OUR SUPPORT FOR THE PERTH INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL AND THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN FILM INDUSTRY Since 1992 the University of Western Australia, as sponsor of the Perth International Arts Festival (formerly the Festival of Perth), has been a statutory recipient of Lotteries funding. Unlike our support for hospitals, sports and arts, however, the specific level of funding for the Festival is not set by legislation but is negotiated between the Commission and the Festival. The Lotteries Commission is the most important source of funds for the Festival; a fact acknowledged in the Commission’s status as the Festival’s ‘Principal Partner’. Our funding is linked to a range of specific objectives which include ensuring that the Festival is accessible to all Western Australians; helping Western Australian artists and arts groups participate in the Festival and the promotion of Western Australia as a tourist destination. Before the 2000 Festival we had made an in-principle commitment of $12 million over a four years making it possible for the Festival to develop a four-year ‘Millennium Festival’ program with a clear understanding of the level of funding available. The 2000 Festival, while applauded for its content, had recorded a significant financial deficit. In contrast, the 2001 Festival, the 49th Perth Festival and the second staged under the direction of Festival Director Sean Doran, recorded a profit. Many events achieved capacity audiences and most reached their box office targets. The Festival’s performing arts program included two New York shows, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and Dennis Cleveland, three shows from South Africa, the Canadian circus Cirque Eloise and London’s Royal Shakespeare Company. The program also contained visual arts from the US, Canada, Netherlands and Malaysia. The Lotteries Film Season generated record attendances of over 90,000 people at the newly refurbished Somerville Auditorium and the Joondalup Picture Pines Garden. The Watershed also attracted high numbers of younger adults to the Perth Cultural Centre and provided a strong city focus for the Festival. One of the objectives of Lotteries funding for the Festival is to ensure that the program includes free events which have wide appeal to families. The Healthway Street Arts Festival again provided free entertainment for many families and individuals and the Lotteries Festival Finale brought over 5,000 families to Langley Park.
Page 31 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
OUR SUPPORT FOR THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN FILM INDUSTRY Like the Perth Festival, Western Australia’s film industry has been a statutory recipient of Lotteries funding since 1992. Our support is provided through various programs administered by ScreenWest, the statutory body responsible for the development of the film industry in Western Australia. The $3.3 million in Lotteries funding to ScreenWest was $1 million higher than committed the previous year. Lotteries funding represents a major contribution to the creative and commercial success of the local screen industry, enabling local young talent to be fostered and local productions to be presented to the international market. A major highlight for the year was the production of the world class comedy animation series “QUADS”. Produced entirely in Perth and Toronto utilising a shared website, animators in the two cities worked around the clock to develop the series. Productions such as “QUADS” and others funded by the Lotteries Commission have had a significant positive impact on employment in Western Australia with in excess of 200 full time, casual and acting extras positions being generated.. For the first time, two West Australian films, ‘In A Flash’ and ‘Speak To Me Of Love’ were chosen to screen as part of the Lotteries Film Season alongside major international films in the 2001 Perth International Arts Festival. The films were produced with the help of ScreenWest funding which makes $60,000 available for emerging film makers to make a short film to a professional standard. Some other examples of successful productions developed with the support of ScreenWest funding were: ?? Wild Kat - a children’s drama series about a girl who discovers that she can “mind meld” with a ferocious female tiger. ?? The Mary G Show - a comedy series produced in the Kimberley region featuring an established Broome character, the “Queen of the Kimberley”. ?? Playing the Game - a three-part documentary history series that examines American foreign policy from the 1930s to the 1980s.

OUR GRANT APPLICANTS Strategic Objectives: Customers highly satisfied with service levels
Results: % satisfaction with service related to community funding; 95%
Our direct grant recipients are important stakeholders of The Commission, during the year we provided the following enhancements to our services.
DIRECT GRANTS, OUR SUPPORT FOR THE COMM UNITY Our most direct support to Western Australia’s community is through the funding we provide in the form of grants to a wide range of not-for-profit community groups and charities. In this we are quite unique – no other lottery in Australia is itself responsible for distributing the profits raised from lottery games. More than any other element of our community funding, Lotteries grants show the direct link between our lottery games and community benefit. At the heart of our grant funding is a desire to “work in partnership with others who are committed to strengthening and building community life” (Statement of Strategic Intent, Lotteries Commission Strategic Plan 2000-2003). In 2001 grants totalling $46.8 million were made to an enormous range of community organisations throughout the state. The management of a funding program of this scale and complexity is a highly challenging task. We continually review the policies that guide our grant funding to ensure that they continue to reflect the changing needs of the not-for-profit sector, compliment those of other funding bodies make the best possible use of the available funds. Our funding has therefore evolved over time and during the year new initiatives were launched broadening the scope of our funding still further. Our funding is based on a submission-based model which enables community organisations to approach the Commission to request assistance for projects and capital items they have identified as priorities, for which funding is unavailable from elsewhere. In responding to these requests we must balance the competing needs within the community sector. Furthermore, we believe that just as our lottery products are enjoyed by most people, our funding should contribute to the quality of life of the whole community as well as helping to meet the needs of the more disadvantaged. The guiding principles of our grant making are that our grants should: ?? Add value, make a difference, have a multiplier effect within the community. ?? Facilitate community engagement and participation. ?? Encourage empowerment and self-reliance. ?? Contribute to community diversity. ?? Encourage innovation; and
Page 34 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
?? Be equitable, transparent and accountable. In 2001 thanks to healthy sales, we were able to meet most requests for grants and support our traditional welfare recipients as well as fund some highly innovative and exciting community projects. Our funding was distributed through programs which cover five broad areas of need and which include almost every part of the not-for-profit sector in Western Australia:
Community Cultural This includes our support for the Perth International Arts Festival and ScreenWest as well as a wide range of community festivals and celebrations.
Community Sector Development Funding aimed at further developing the quality of management and the skills of those working within the community sector.
Community Support and Development A wide ranging area which includes funding for community buildings and facilities, employment and enterprise initiatives, emergency relief for those in financial crisis, support for emergency services and funding for medical research
The Environment This includes our support for both the natural environment (environment conservation projects) and the preservation of our built heritage.
Priority Groups with Special Nee ds This program helps meet special needs in the community such as those of aboriginal people, families and children, young people, seniors and people with disabilities
Direct Grant Initiatives
International Year of Volunteers 2001 was declared the United Nations International Year of Volunteers and in Western Australia it was Lotteries funding which helped ensure that the year was appropriately marked. Over $450,000 was made available to Volunteering WA for a range of initiatives taking place throughout the year. Our support has helped ensure that the year has been well publicised, that the contribution of volunteers in our community is better acknowledged and that the challenges currently faced by the voluntary sector have been properly debated. These are some of the specific initiatives we have been involved in during the year:
Page 35 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
?? The icon event for the Year, a Vision Conference for Volunteers, was held in August to chart the long-term strategy for the future development of volunteering in WA. The conference brought together volunteers, community groups and government organisations to debate the opportunities and challenges facing the volunteer sector. ?? In celebration of the contribution of volunteers a Lotteries-funded photographic exhibition was produced to show volunteers in action. ?? A mobile volunteer referral service toured the Perth metropolitan area with equipment and resources to help match those wanting to volunteer with appropriate community organisations. ?? 12 regional projects in communities throughout the state were developed to mark the International Year of Volunteers. ?? A special awards program – the Lotteries Volunteer Awards - was launched to recognise and publicise individual achievement by volunteers. Over 800 volunteers were nominated for the Volunteer of the Year Award and every nominee received a certificate acknowledging their service. At a special awards dinner, Marie Stidwell was named Volunteer of the Year, receiving a trophy and a $5,000 Lotteries cheque for her nominated community organisation - Drug Arm WA. ?? Lotteries support helped fund various research projects relating to volunteering including one which will examine the impact of volunteering on mature age males suffering from depression and stress. Another will examine the factors affecting jobless people’s involvement in volunteering. ?? A special grants program - “Working Together Grants” – was set up to provide additional funds for volunteer organisations. Amongst the highly creative projects supported was one by CLAN Mandurah to establish a ‘Grandfriends Program’ that will link local seniors to families without parent or grandparent contact.
Monet & Japan Arguably, the most exciting exhibition ever to come to Perth was Monet & Japan, hosted by the Art Gallery of Western Australia between July and September 2001. This hugely ambitious exhibition, which included over 30 of Monet’s finest works was acclaimed by both critics and the general public. The exhibition was staged in just two venues, the National Gallery in Canberra and the Art Gallery of Western Australia. The Lotteries Commission was the principal supporter of the exhibition having provided a grant of $350,000 to the Friends of the Art Gallery. Our support helped cover the cost of transporting Monet paintings from around the world to Perth as well as supporting an extensive community access program. This program, which included impressionist art classes, a family open day, celebrity floor walks, tours, lectures and free entry for disadvantaged groups, has ensured that the exhibition has been accessible to all members of the community. In celebration of our association with Monet & Japan, we launched a special Monet Money Scratch’n’Win ticket to coincide with the exhibition. The $1 ticket
Page 36 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS could be used to gain discount entry to the exhibition and offered a second chance prize of a trip to Paris.
Western Australia - Land and People Early in 2001 one of the most important permanent exhibitions ever developed by the WA Museum opened in the newly refurbished Hackett Hall. Western Australia – Land and People charts the development of Western Australia, from prehistory to the modern day, exploring issues such as the impact of settlement on the native Aboriginal inhabitants and the natural environment. For several years we have been a partner with the Museum in realising the original vision for this exhibition. In recent years we have committed over $1.5 million to the Friends of the Western Australian Museum towards this world class exhibition which incorporates some of the latest multimedia displays.
Lotteries Federation Walkway We have also been a key partner in one of the most exciting projects to mark the Centenary of Federation in Western Australia. Situated at the southern end of the Water Garden in Kings Park, the Lotteries Federation Walkway will incorporate a spectacular elevated walkway and provide views across both the Swan River and a particularly picturesque part of Kings Park itself. The walkway will also give visitors an insight into Western Australia’s unique botanical treasures as well as tell the state’s Federation story. This visionary project was made possible thanks to Lotteries funding of $500,000 to the Friends of Kings Park as well as substantial support from the Centenary of Federation Committee. When complete later this year the Lotteries Federation Walkway will become a major attraction for both locals and visitors to Perth and confirm Kings Park as Western Australia’s most important recreation area. Our support for this project is the latest example of our longstanding support for Kings Park which, in recent years, has funded major enhancements to Western Australia’s premier public park. Amongst these are the highly popular Lotteries Family Area and the redevelopment of the beautiful Water Garden.

Business and Community We believe that we have a role to play in linking the business and community sectors in Western Australia. During the year we have worked to facilitate a dialogue between business and community in support of the Prime Minister’s Business and Community Partnerships round table. We have also taken a lead in developing a network of interested business, community and government leaders. We have hosted a series of gatherings, which have become important forums for discussion and learning with notable guest speakers on topics such as early childhood intervention strategies and social entrepreneurship. As in our grant funding, our aim is to strengthen communities by highlighting and debating current social issues affecting them. We believe that by encouraging cooperation across all levels of government, business and community agencies, we have played a role in finding creative solutions to some of the issued facing communities today.
Policy and Process Initiatives Three years ago we embarked on a comprehensive review of the policy and program priorities which direct our grant funding. Amongst the most significant changes to result is a stronger focus on the principles of collaboration and co- operation in funding community initiatives, something which is now made explicit in our funding guidelines. Other notable policy reviews and initiatives include the following: ?? Vehicles Grants – An Outcomes Study was conducted by our internal auditors, examining a sample of vehicle grants to determine that the vehicles were used for the grants purpose, provided for improved and increased service delivery and that suitable asset management and replacement plans were in place. The study will form the basis of new guidelines in this area. ?? Cultural Heritage – A review of our funding for cultural heritage has resulted in a revised program structure with a broader definition of eligible
Page 38 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
projects. The new program will bring together our current funding strategies for built heritage, museums and community histories into one program structure. ?? Conservation – This review confirmed the importance of our grants for community conservation projects. Following the review, a revised Conservation Program will place greater emphasis on partnerships with other sources of funding where this is possible ?? Emergency Relief Grants – Our provision of emergency relief funding was reviewed to ensure that Lotteries Emergency Relief Grants were distributed equitably and in consultation with the community. Following this review the program structure and policies guiding our funding in this area have been changed and we have worked to develop partnerships.
Community Funding Busin ess Improvements During the year we have put in place a number of process improvements which have enhanced our internal administration as well as service to customers. The most significant of these are the following:
Customer Enquiry System A new telephone customer enquiry system was developed to complement a new web-based Grants Guide (see below). The new system ensures that customers have more direct access to the person with the knowledge relating to their enquiry. Consistency, accuracy and promptness are the fundamental principles behind the new system
Web-Based Grants Guide We have continued to develop our website as our primary communications medium with our funding recipients. An online Grants Guide has been developed providing a web-based tutorial, which allows groups to check their eligibility and possible grant types available. The Guide provides direct access to the application form and our funding guidelines.
Customer Feedback Project In association with our market research provider, a customer feedback tool has been developed which invites feedback relating to all stages of our grant process, from application and assessment to the acquittal of the grant. This will be an on-line system, complimented by telephone and mail surveys, which will allow for both general feedback and more specific targeted surveys.
Information System Enhancements Since our internally developed community funding information system was first implemented in July 1996 the system has been continuously enhanced. Further enhancement is currently underway to improve the system’s capacity to manage budgets and to improve the reporting framework.
Page 39 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
New Grant Program Initiatives During the year we piloted three new funding initiatives which aim to strengthen and build community life and encourage greater community participation and collaboration.
‘Connected Families, Connected Communities’ In November 2000 we launched our ‘Connected Families, Connected Communities’ Program, making funds available for projects which foster greater collaboration within communities and address issues such as isolation and community breakdown. This new program generated widespread interest from communities in both metropolitan and rural areas confirming that it had addressed an area of community need. 28 applications for funding were received and 8 projects supported through the initial funding round. Successful projects attracted full year funding with some funding extending a longer period. A total of $866,963 has been committed under this new program.
Social Research Grants In response to community identified need and after extensive consultation we launched a Social Research funding program at the same time as the Connected Families, Connected Communities program. By supporting social research projects we hope to better identify issues affecting communities and the development of social policy and practice. The program encourages collaboration between organisations and established research bodies, which not only ensures a high quality of research but also provides an opportunity for sharing knowledge and skills. In our initial funding round, six projects were supported with a total commitment of $429,875. Amongst the projects supported was a collaborative project between Northern Suburbs Youth Options and the Centre for Research for Women to investigate the needs of parents who are out of the workforce. Another project by the Western Australian Council of Social Services (WACOSS) and Murdoch University will identify the indicators of sustainable communities, with a focus on housing related indicators.
Community Histories Another funding initiative was a new program to support the recording of community histories. The program was developed following consultation with the Battye Library and other interested bodies and was a response to approaches by various community groups wishing to record their community histories. The initiative attracted over 100 expressions of Interest and twelve projects were funded in the pilot round. These include the recording of the history of Old Fitzroy Crossing; a history of the Vietnamese community in Western Australia and a project to record the impact of war, displacement, poverty and life in a new country following World War 2. Eventually the products will include books, videos, a community display and a CD-Rom. These will be provided to local history collections and will also be legally deposited with the Battye Library.

OUR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT
Strategic Objective: Outstanding staff, motivated and engaged in our business
Result: % payroll invested in staff training and development; 3.1% (target 2.3%)
Result: 114 courses attended by staff members
We take pride in our continuing reputation as an “employer of choice”, evidenced by the very high levels of response to our recruitment advertisements and the high number of unsolicited approaches for work experience and employment. A range of staff-related performance indicators are included in our “People and Learning” balanced scorecard and the development of motivated, engaged and skilled staff is a strategic objective for the Commission.
Our Working Environment Initiatives which have helped achieve our objectives include an internal accommodation refurbishment of almost all of our headquarters at Walters Drive in Osborne Park. This has addressed the limitations of the original office layout which had become a major barrier to increasing productivity and the creation of functional work groups. The new office design has created more and better-designed work stations on an open plan model. We believe the design is an important element of our ‘People 2003’ project and provides the flexibility to make the structural changes associated with more multi-disciplinary work teams. We place a high value on developing a ’family friendly’ workplace and offer flexible working arrangements, including working from home, part time employment and special arrangement for staff responsible for dependent family members. In the last year we have noticed a marked increase in the number of staff requiring time to care for aged parents. The Commission’s record was recognised in the CEO being appointed as a “Family First ambassador” by the Minister for the Family. As recorded earlier, the Commission has been a major supporter of the International Year of Volunteers. This has prompted us to look at how we can better support our staff in the many voluntary activities in which they are involved. We see opportunities for us to include our staff more strategically in our work with the many groups we support and this, too, will form part of our “People 2003” project (see below). All staff have access to a range of opportunities for personal, as well as professional, development and well-being. Amongst the activities offered to our staff during the year were:
Page 41 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
?? the “Investment in Excellence” personal development program provided for all new staff joining the Lotteries Commission. This program, with its emphasis on goal setting and personal growth plays an important part in establishing a highly positive culture within the Commission; ?? opportunities to represent the Commission at a wide range of events and celebrations associated with Lotteries Commission grants and lottery product launches. We believe that all staff, not just senior management and Board members, should see the tangible impacts of their work in the community and in the marketplace; ?? attendance and participation in major events with which the Commission has an association. One notable event has been the chance for staff, selected by “lucky dip”, to represent the Commission as a driver in the Rally Australia “Corporate Challenge”; ?? a staff-run, Commission funded, Social Club which staged a variety of social activities during the year, such as Melbourne Cup, Easter and Christmas parties and an end of financial year sales and funding “tipping” competition; ?? special educational activities, such as participation in the “Zodiak” business management game; and ?? access to an Employee Assistance program and Grief/Trauma counselling.
Training and Development - People 2003 Staff training has always been an important focus for the organisation with learning plans being part of all staff annual performance reviews and support provided to those staff undertaking formal tertiary studies. This year six staff undertook formal tertiary studies. Through the Continuing Excellence program, staff continue to participate in a Workgroup Learning Plan in addition to their individual Learning Plans. This identifies the areas of enhanced knowledge and experience needed by each workgroup to improve continuously their performance and business processes. A leadership development program for all senior staff was introduced during the year but in the early stages it became apparent that it was not well-linked to our overall strategic plan or to our performance management system. The program was deferred while we undertook a comprehensive human resource and organisational development review. This review, the first stage of which has recently been completed, examined the structure, skills and competencies we will need to maximise our efficiently. It will lead to significant changes to our organisational structure to facilitate business development, the optimal use of modern technology and a clear focus on all our customers (players, retailers and grant seekers). The review has identified that, like many other public sector agencies, we have an aging workforce. We recognise that we must develop our next generation of leaders to equip them with the skills and experience they will need to manage and develop our business in the future.
Page 42 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
The review is the first part of an overarching Human Resources and Organisational Development Plan which, over the next year will coordinate the planning and implementation of the following sub-projects ?? leadership development/succession planning ?? new individual performance review process ?? mentoring program Training and Staff Development System Review ?? new recruitment and selection process; and ?? new Job Description Form format Implementing this program, known as 'Our People 2003', will be a priority in 2002

WORKPLACE REFORM AND THE COMMISSION’S BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT & REMUNERATION PLAN The Commission’s performance in 2000/01 included: ?? sales of $455.2 million; ?? approved funding of $134 million to the Western Australian community; ?? a saving of $1.31 million on the expense budget; and ?? a FTE level 3.3 below the budgeted level. These achievements reflected strong budgetary control, the use of a continuous improvement process and the awareness amongst of our staff of the link between their individual performance and overall business outcomes. These flow from the adoption of an ‘economic value added’ model known as the ‘Business Improvement and Remuneration Program’ (BIRP) which, for the past two years, has linked wage increases to overall business outcomes. The BIRP complemented and was closely linked to the 1999 Collective Workplace and Enterprise Bargaining Agreements. This remuneration system will be replaced by the new government wages policy, which introduces a standard approach across all government bodies. During the forthcoming year we intend to explore with government possible options which recognise the nature of our business as an income generating arm of government.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Through the Continuing Excellence program, staff continue to participate in a Workgroup Learning Plan in addition to their individual Learning Plans. This identifies the areas of enhanced knowledge and experience needed by each workgroup to improve continuously their performance and business processes. Special emphasis was also given to corporate training in the areas of continuous improvement, leadership development and monthly forums on subjects linked to corporate development.
STAFF INDUCTION The staff induction program continues to evolve due to regular monitoring and evaluation, including new staffmembers’ formal feedback.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SAFETY AND WELFARE The Commission received no Notification of Incident Reports from staffmembers (five in 1999/2000).
WORKER’S COMPENSATION AND REHABILITATION The Commission received two claims for Worker’s Compensation neither of which resulted in any lost time injury. This compares favourably to the two claims in the previous year, which included one lost time injury.
PUBLIC SECTOR STANDARDS PricewaterhouseCoopers audited the Commission’s application of Human Resource Standards to support the Commission’s compliance statement.
Page 46 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS
CODE OF CONDUCT The Code of Conduct has been publicised internally through a variety of means and it was reviewed and updated during the year.
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPP ORTUNITY The Commission continues to apply its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) principles through the EEO Plan complemented by the Human Resources Management Manual and the Commission’s Industrial Agreements. The EEO Plan was reviewed and updated during the year.
STAFFING POLICIES The Commission’s Human Resources Management Manual contains all policies and procedures applied by the Commission. These have integrated EEO, redeployment, Public Sector Standards, Disability Services and Codes of Ethics and Conduct. The Commission‘s staff are recruited as widely as considered appropriate to meet business needs.
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS During 2000/01 no industrial relations issues arose within the Commission.

OUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUTURE
Strategic Objective: Innovative and responsive business development
Result: Total operating expenses as a % of sales 6.63% (target 7.3%)
Capital Projects Completed Some of the most important projects and largest capital investments during the year related to developments in our information services technology. The installation of a new gaming system was the largest single IT project the Commission has undertaken in the last 20 years. The PRO:SYS gaming system was sourced from the US lottery technology supplier GTECH at a total project cost of $13 million. The budget for this project was $12.3 million. The difference was due to additional work required to implement a “game auditing system” and exchange rate variations. The successful installation of the PRO:SYS gaming system means that our gaming business is based on the most sophisticated technology in the industry which will provide the platform for our business for the next 5-10 years. The installation of PRO:SYS was a major logistical challenge, requiring a core team of 45 GTECH and Commission staff and involving over 100 members of our staff at some time. Some of the major components of the project were the replacement of main computers at the Commission’s head office and backup sites, new gaming software, a new audit verification system and an upgrade to our gaming terminals in all our retail outlets throughout the state. The project was completed in the scheduled timeframe, met quality standards and, except for exchange rate fluctuations, was delivered to budget. The new gaming system provides the Commission with the flexibility to develop new products and enhance existing products. One example is the introduction, in March 2001, of 25-game Slikpiks for our Lotto products. The popularity of these tickets has been a major contributor to the growth in sales for the Saturday game. Additionally, the new system makes it possible for our retailers to order Instant ticket stocks and other Lotteries products through a new online ordering system linked to the lottery terminals. This has reduced
Page 53 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS the order period by 1 day and helped retailers in the management of their stocks and supplies.
Other Technology Projects At the same time as the installation of PRO:SYS we continued to enhance our internal information systems and further develop our E-Business strategy. Our E-Business strategy is built around the following objectives: ?? Better communication of business information to our Retail Network. ?? Providing better services to the players of our Lotteries products ?? Providing better customer service and communications with the not-for- profit groups who are our community funding customers. ?? Improving our internal processes using electronic media as much as possible both within the organisation and our communication with external organisations. ?? Explore the business case for selling Lotteries products via the Internet. The major achievements in this area during the year included the following: ?? Many small enhancements were made to our Lotteries Internet kiosk and our E-mail Results Service keeping the site fresh and improving our response to players who use this service. ?? In February 2001 an internal Intranet was launched, providing our staff with easy access to key business information. Six new Compaq servers were purchased and are being installed to cater for the Intranet and Internet to Desktop systems. ?? An online grants guide was incorporated into our website providing step by step information for each stage of our funding process for potential grant applicants. ?? We undertook considerable research into the possible application of emerging technologies in our business in areas such as e-marketing, payment methods, storage of information, graphics & animation design and knowledge management ?? We developed a Knowledge Management Plan as the foundation for an environment which will facilitate better knowledge sharing and foster business creativity and innovation.
Operations While these and other projects to enhance our technology infrastructure were underway we maintained a high level of service through our system. Specific performance measures were as follows: ?? Gaming computer system uptime was maintained at 99.946% (benchmark 99.9%) ?? Gaming System ISYS lottery terminals were maintained at a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 242,329 (benchmark 160,000)
Page 54 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS ?? Gaming System ISYS terminal preventive maintenance was completed statewide during the year with ongoing visits by Technicians to Retailers throughout Western Australia. ?? Management systems, Office systems and Local Area Network uptime ranged from 99.85% to 99.96% over all the Commission’s systems (benchmark 99.9%). ?? Total calls into the Helpdesk to support the Retail network were 13,590 during the year, for internal systems there were 2,585 call. ?? Total field service calls by technicians, additional to preventive maintenance visits to retailers, were 1232.
COMMUNICATING WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS Strategic Objectives: Stakeholders and Players support for the Commission’s role
Result: % satisfaction with service related to community funding; 95%
Result: % of players base committed to our brand; 54%
Public Relations and Corporate Communications We recognise that our mandate to operate our lottery business is linked to an understanding in the community of the benefits of Lotteries funding in the community. We also believe that our players have a right to know how the funds we raise are distributed. The impact of Lotteries funding in our community has formed the core message in all our corporate communications to our stakeholders including our players, community representatives and decision-makers. We routinely ask organisations who receive our funds to acknowledge our support and, where appropriate, negotiate special publicity. Some particularly high profile projects supported, or which came to fruition, during the year provided excellent opportunities for us to publicise our community funding. Amongst these were the opening of a new permanent exhibition in the WA Museum, ‘Western Australia – Land & People’, the acclaimed Monet & Japan exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Lotteries Federation Walkway in Kings Park (see Community Funding section for more details on these grants). This year, we have ensured that in supporting the International Year of Volunteers our longstanding association with the voluntary sector is highlighted, for example in our funding for the 2001 Lotteries Volunteer Awards. Lotto Skyworks remains the single most popular event in Perth’s calendar and our association with this event, which draws hundreds of thousands of people to Perth foreshore each Australia Day, is well recognised. There are certain areas where our funding role is not well appreciated, however. In our statutory funding to hospitals, sports and the arts Lotteries
Page 55 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS funds are channelled through a third party and consequently we do not have the direct contact with the end beneficiaries that we have through our direct grant funding. During the year we have worked with the Department of Sport and Recreation to increase awareness of our crucial funding role in this sector. As a result we will be the major partner with the Department in two high profile events for this sector – Active 2001, Sport & Recreation Industry Conference to be held between 27-28 September 2001 and the Sport & Recreation Industry Awards to be presented in November. A highly effective way of publicising our funding to community organisations has been to invite Members of Parliament to present Lotteries grants to community groups in their electorate. As well as generating publicity for both the recipient organisations and ourselves, these presentations are useful in giving members of parliament an insight into Lotteries funding and the work of local community organisations.
Strengthening our Corporate Brand While we have consistently tried to communicate the impact of Lotteries funding in the community we believe that there is an argument for a greater investment in our stronger corporate ‘brand’. Our decision to renew our retail identity throughout our distribution network has led us to review our corporate brand which forms the basis for the retail identity. Research into both our corporate image and corporate identity (the visual interpretation of the Lotteries Commission brand) showed that our corporate brand has the potential to be strengthened considerably so that it communicates much more effectively the core values which underpin all our activities. We believe that our corporate brand must not only be our primary vehicle to communicate the role of the Lotteries Commission in supporting the community, it is likely to become an increasingly important part of our product marketing. As the Internet offers our players access to a growing range of products (including many which carry the Lotto name) we believe that it is essential that we differentiate our products from those of our competitors. One of the most strategically important projects over the next twelve months, therefore, will be the relaunch of our corporate brand. The visual interpretation of this brand, our corporate identity, will be redesigned during the latter part of 2001 to enable us to have an effective brand presence in a wide variety of applications. These will include using the brand to highlight examples of Lotteries funding in the community, to link all our products with our core values and communicate these values to players at the point of purchase.
Lotteries Winners The publicity which surrounds major wins by Western Australians has always been an important part of our product marketing and has helped establish WA’s reputation as a ‘lucky Lotto state’. In recent years we have developed an excellent working relationship with the media whose cooperation in protecting the privacy of winners while highlighting local wins has vital.
Page 56 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS This relationship was tested in January 2001 when for the first time Powerball Lotto jackpotted to a $30 million – the largest prize pool in Australian lottery history. The record-breaking draw took place on the eve of Australia Day and the following day it was announced that the entire prize had been won by a single player from Western Australia. In the hours following this announcement we worked with representatives from all major media outlets to ensure that while the win was well publicised, the privacy of the winner was safeguarded. Local media honoured this agreement in full and in all initial tv, radio and press reports announcing the win the confidentiality of the winner player was protected. Subsequently, however, personal details about the winner which had not been made available to the media appeared in various Eastern states newspapers having been obtained by a freelance journalist. As a result, to our dismay, the confidentiality of the winner and his family was breached causing them considerable anxiety. Following the episode we have worked with our Bloc partners and others to review the procedures for publicising major wins and the support provided by lotteries to these winners. Procedures now in place will further minimise the danger of winners’ confidentiality being compromised. Winners are also provided with contacts who can provide independent advice relating to topics including financial advice, legal advice and security issues.
STRATEGIC & BUSINESS PLANNING
Strategic Objective: Quality and timely decisions Result Monthly Board meetings, Monthly General Management Team meetings Monthly Senior Manager Forums
During 2000/2001 the Lotteries Commission reviewed its 2000-2003 Strategic Plan and published a “Revised 2001” version. The 2000-2003 Strategic Plan was developed in 1999/2000 to ensure the success of our core businesses, community funding and lottery games, into the new millennium. It was constructed using the “balanced scorecard” approach for the first time. At the first annual review in 2000/2001, the usefulness of the balanced scorecard approach was confirmed. However it was also apparent that revision of some parts of the Plan would provide better focus on the key business outcomes to be achieved. The revision was then carried into annual business planning and budgeting systems which were being progressively developed to align with the balanced scorecard approach. A new planning and performance information database was built with significant connections into the enhanced budget database. A database for the monitoring and reporting of scorecard Key Performance Indicators is also in development and will aid the “cascade” of performance
Page 57 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS targets throughout the organisation and integrate with the performance management of workgroups and individuals. The 2000-2003 Strategic Marketing & Distribution Plan developed last year was also updated in 2000/2001 to ensure that product development, marketing and distribution strategies proactively prepare us for meeting changes in the market and customer expectations. Significant work this year has also been invested in forging a strategic partnership with our new market research provider. One of the results of this partnership was the development of the inaugural 2000-2003 Strategic Research Plan which details the research needed to provide the necessary business intelligence for the success of the strategies in our other strategic plans. Work also commenced on the Strategic Human Resources Management and Organisation Development Plan which describes the approach and projects planned to achieve the major outcome outlined on the People and Learning scorecard of the 2000-2003 Lotteries Commission Strategic Plan – “Outstanding staff, motivated and engaged with our business”. Our progress toward a fully integrated approach to strategic planning, corporate performance management and people management is believed to be essential for continued success in the face of increased competition from Internet and other interactive technology-based gaming operators.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLANNING The Commission’s Business Continuity Plan was further refined from simulation exercises undertaken during the preceding financial years. As a consequence of the intensive involvement of staff on the gaming systems project, PRO:SYS, a full business continuity simulation exercise was not undertaken in 2001. However gaming disaster recovery simulations and the operations of PRO:SYS from the Commission’s backup site have been fully tested on two occasions since the implementation of PRO:SYS in March 2001. Further simulations exercises have been scheduled in the 2002 financial year.

All targets in the Plan have, to date, been achieved and improved access to services have been well received with no complaints or negative responses being received.
State Government Plan for Young People 2000 -2003 The Lotteries Commission is required to comply with the State Government Plan for Young People 2000-2003. The plan aims to promote the well-being and position of young people in a number of priority areas:
Page 60 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS ?? Citizenship and Participation ?? Justice and Legal Issues ?? Health and Well-being ?? Culture, Recreation and Lifestyle ?? Education, Training and Employment ?? Living in the Community Through its Direct Grants programs the Commission supports a wide range of services and projects for young people. Before the Plan was issued, the Commission had identified Young People as a “Priority Group with Special Needs” and, through our grants, aims to “support community initiatives that provide opportunities for young people between the ages of 12-25 years, to enhance their quality of life”. Grants are provided to support the infrastructure needs of the youth sector including furniture, office and general equipment, buildings and vehicles and for innovative youth projects. During 2001, over $1.7 million was provided in 67 grants to this program area. Initiatives across the State Government’s priority areas have been supported. The Commission’s Gordon Reid Foundation for Young People is supported by an external Advisory Committee that included participation of a young person.
Government Plan for Women The Lotteries Commission is required to comply with the Government Two Year Plan for Women 1999-2001 which aims to advance the status of women in a number of priority areas: Decision Making - the Board of the Lotteries Commission continues to have equal gender balance. Guidelines for appointment to the Commission’s Retailers Consultative Panel and community funding Advisory Bodies promote gender balance. Customer Focus - the Community Funding Team conducted numerous community funding information sessions across the State to ensure that organisations were aware of our grants programs and to assist in developing applications and adding value to projects. To foster networking and coordination, a portfolio area has been established for women’s services grants. ?? Economic Independence - the Commission continues to support community initiatives, which support the development of women’s independence through direct grants. ?? Personal Safety - grants were made to provide safe refuge from Domestic Violence for Women, and to promote community and personal safety. ?? Health - again, direct grants were made to a range of community organisations which provide women’s health services and contribute to preventative approaches.
Page 61 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 REPORT ON OPERATIONS ?? Centenary of Women’s Suffrage - the upgraded Pioneer Women’s area of Kings Park continues to provide a focal point for Park enjoyment and will be complemented by the new Water Garden and Lotteries Federation Walkway. ?? Role of Technology - the Commission website is continually updated and refreshed, providing accessible and current product and funding information to in-home, business and community settings.

CERTIFICATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
We hereby certify that the performance indicators are based on proper records and fairly represent the performance of the Lotteries Commission for the year ended 30 June 2001.

AUDITOR GENERAL’S OPINION ON PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Page 71 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (AUDITED)
Key Performance Indicators are provided for both outcomes of the Commission as follows:
?? To provide the public of Western Australia with a range of lottery products (consistent with the Government’s gaming policy) in order to meet their need for this form of entertainment; and
?? To provide funding to bodies prescribed in the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended) to enable them to achieve their outcomes for the benefit of the Western Australian community.
In accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 904, these indicators have been selected as fulfilling the required qualitative characteristics; relevance, appropriateness, verifiability, freedom from bias and quantifiability and these are supported by explanatory notes where necessary.
Two distinct types of indicators are identified:
?? Effectiveness indicators - measure the extent to which outcomes are achieved; and
?? Efficiency indicators - compare resources input against resulting outputs.
For the Commission’s indicators, the inputs are generally resources but, for community funding, include the outputs from sales. At this stage the resources measured relate to the expenses incurred in raising revenue and distributing funds. The outputs measured are the provision of lottery products and the provision of funds to the community of Western Australia, as shown in the Output Summary Tables in this Annual Report. For the sales indicators, the adult population figures provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) are used. For community funding, total population figures, also provided by the ABS, are used as it is the Commission’s intention that all Western Australians should benefit in some way from community funding whereas only adults are allowed to buy the Commission’s lottery products.

(b) This relates to the Commission’s Statement of Intent “…to provide funds and support to the community of Western Australia…".
Page 73 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The variation in these measures relates to the increased level of funding when compared to previous years.
(c) This is a measure of the efficiency of the Commission in achieving its annual target of at least 30% of sales being allocated to the community.
The measure for 2001 is the highest achieved in three years. This positive result is due to higher than expected sales and consequently, increased funds available for distribution.
(d) This shows the extent to which the Commission has maximised community funding allocations and contained growth in expenditure. “Total Costs” include prizes, Retailers’ commissions, Gaming expenses and grants administration expenses.
There was a decrease of just under 2.7% in this measure when compared to 2000. This is a reflection of the moderate increase in operating costs when compared to the more significant increase in total funding (5.0%).
(e) The increase in sales per capita and total sales indicates the continued attractiveness of the Commission’s products to the public of Western Australia.
(f) The Trading Profit is total Sales Revenue from lottery products less Prizes and Retailers’ commissions paid in relation to those products.
The year-on-year variation is not significant, and the Commission believes that this level is sustainable in the current economic and social climate.
(g) This indicator shows Gaming expenses (Total Operating Expenses excluding grants administration expenses) as a percentage of Total Sales.
The year-on-year variation is not significant, however the slight increase represents additional expenditure to ensure the Commission’s commitment to providing superior gaming systems to its customers.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies The following accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements. Unless otherwise stated these policies are consistent with those adopted in the previous year.
General Statement
The financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Urgent Issues Group (UIG) Consensus views as applied by the Treasurer’s Instructions. Several of these are modified by the Treasurer’s Instructions to vary application, disclosure, format and wording. The Financial Administration and Audit Act and the Treasurer’s Instructions are legislative provisions governing the preparation of financial statements and take precedence over Australian Accounting Standards and UIG Consensus views.
The modifications are intended to fulfil the requirements of general application to the public sector together with the need for greater disclosure and also to satisfy accountability requirements. If any such modification has a material or significant financial effect upon the reported results, details of that modification and, where practicable, the resulting financial effect, are disclosed in individual notes to these financial statements.
The statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using the historical cost convention, with the exception of certain non-current assets which, subsequent to initial recognition, have been measured on the fair value basis in accordance with the option under AAS 38(5.1) (see notes 1(l) and 22).
(a) Depreciation of non-current assets
All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of their future economic benefits.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed annually. Useful lives for each class of depreciable asset are:
Property (excluding Land) 50 years Equipment and Fittings 5 to 10 years Computer Equipment 5 to 8 years
Works of art owned by the Commission are anticipated to have very long and indeterminate useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period. Consequently, no amount for depreciation has been recognised in respect of these assets.
Page 80 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS
(b) Employee Entitlements
Annual Leave
This entitlement is recognised at current remuneration rates and is measured at the amount unpaid at the reporting date in respect to employees’ service up to that date.
Long Service Leave
A liability for long service leave is recognised, after three years’ service, and is measured at current remuneration rates.
An actuarial assessment was carried out in 2001 and it was determined that this assessment was not materially different from the reported liability. This method of measurement of the liability is consistent with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AAS30 “Accounting for Employee Entitlements”.
Superannuation
Staff contribute to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme, a defined benefit lump sum scheme now closed to new Members. All staff who do not contribute to this scheme become non-contributory Members of the West State Superannuation Scheme, an accumulation fund complying with the Commonwealth Government’s Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992.
The liability for the pre-transfer service liability for employees who transferred to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme, is provided for at reporting date.
The liabilities for superannuation charges under the Gold State Superannuation Scheme and West State Superannuation Scheme are extinguished by quarterly payments of employer contributions to the Government Employees Superannuation Board.
The note disclosure required by paragraph 51(e)(i)(B) of AAS 30 (being the Commission’s share of the difference between employees’ accrued benefits and the net market value of plan assets) has not been provided, as the Government Employees Superannuation Board’s records are not structured to provide the information. Accordingly, deriving the information for the Commission is impractical under current arrangements and thus any benefits thereof would be exceeded by the cost of obtaining the information. State scheme deficiencies are recognised by the State in its whole of government reporting.
(c) Leases
The Commission has only a whole of government operating lease arrangement for motor vehicles, where the lessors retain effectively all of the risks and benefits incident to the ownership of the leased vehicles. Equal instalments of the lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Performance over the lease term, as this is representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased vehicles.
Page 81 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS (d) Receivables
Accounts receivable are recognised at their face value as they are generally due for settlement no more than nine days from the date of recognition.
The extent to which receivables are expected to be collectable is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to be uncollectable, are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt exists as to collection.
(e) Accrued Salaries
Accrued salaries represent the amount due to staff but unpaid at the end of the financial year and are normally included in other creditors and accruals. As the end of the last pay period coincided with the end of the financial year, there is no provision for accrued salaries.
(f) Payables
Payables, including amounts not yet billed, are recognised when the Commission becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of assets or services. Other than payables in respect of prizes and grants (see 1(m) and 1(n)), settlement generally occurs within 30 days.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are valued, on the first-in first-out basis, at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
(h) Investments
Investments are brought to account at cost and interest income and capital gains are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. If there is a permanent diminution in the value of investments, a provision for diminution is made.
(i) Resources received free of charge or for nominal value
Resources received free of charge or for nominal value which can be measured reliably, are recognised as revenues and as assets or expenses, as appropriate, at fair value.
(j) Revenue recognition
Sales revenue representing gross sales of all games of Lotto, Cash 3, Soccer Pools and Super 66, is recorded as at the date of the respective draw. Sales of instant lottery tickets are recorded when books of tickets are issued to Retailers.
Page 82 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS
(k) Work in Progress
No depreciation is provided during construction or when holding costs are incurred on assets that are subsequently transferred as a direct grant.
Costs associated with assets under development for use by the Commission are recognised as work in progress. Once completed, the assets are transferred to the appropriate asset account and are depreciated or amortised, as appropriate.
(l) Revaluation of Property, Plant and Equipment
With the introduction of AAS 38, the Commission agreed on a policy of valuing land and buildings and works of art at fair value, with all other assets being valued at cost. The annual revaluations of the Commission’s land and buildings undertaken by the Valuer General’s Office, for the Government Property register, are recognised in the financial statements if they differ materially from book values.
Works of art were revalued this year. The Commission’s policy is to value these items as the Commission deems appropriate.
(m)Grants
Grants are recognised when approved by the Minister. Unconditional grants are paid in full within days of the Minister’s approval. Conditional grants are paid as and when conditions are fulfilled.
If a grant is refunded but it is expected that it will be reissued, the amount is credited to the grant liability, otherwise the amount is written back.
When a grant is written back regardless of when it was approved it is treated as a reduction of the current year’s grant expense.
(n) Prizes
Division 1 prizes are paid two weeks after the date of the draw, subject to claim. The majority of other prizes are claimed and paid within a few days of the draw taking place.
Revenues and liabilities are recognised by draw for Lotto, Super66, Cash 3 and Soccer Pools and by shipment to Retailers for instant lotteries.
(o) Net Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial instruments traded in an organised financial market (traded securities) are valued on the basis of current quoted market value.
Monetary financial assets and liabilities not traded in an organised financial market are valued on the cost basis of carrying amounts of receivables, payables and accruals (which approximates net market value).
Page 83 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS (p) The Goods and Services Tax
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has an effect on the amounts reported in these financial statements to the extent that the timing of payments and receipts may cause a substantial balance to be included in Receivables or Payables.
(q) Foreign Currency Translation and Hedges
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the rates in existence at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency receivables and payables at reporting date are translated at exchange rates current at reporting dates. Exchange gains and losses (if any) are brought to account in determining the result for the year.
(r) Comparative figures
Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures presented in the current financial year. 2. Trading Profit Trading profit is derived from gross sales less prizes and Retailer Commissions as follows: 2001 2000 $000s $000s Sales Lotto 371,442 349,405 Scratch’n’Win 72,624 84,063 Super 66 5,117 5,436 Cash 3 4,413 4,269 Soccer Pools 1,641 1,479 455,237 444,652 Less: Prizes (a) Lotto 217,294 205,001 Scratch’n’Win 43,812 50,638 Super 66 3,071 3,261 Cash 3 2,139 2,112 Soccer Pools 776 700 267,092 261,712 Less: Retailers’ commissions (b) Lotto 27,502 26,929 Scratch’n’Win 5,797 6,720 Super 66 389 438 Cash 3 339 342 Soccer Pools 92 80 34,119 34,509
Trading profit 154,026 148,431
Allocation of prize monies represents approximately 60% of sales net of add- on commissions, except for Soccer Pools for which the allocation is not less than 50% of sales net of add-on commissions and Cash 3 for which the
Page 84 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS liability depends on the number of winners per game and averaged 48.5% for the year (49.5% in 1999/2000). The prize pool is supplemented from time to time by additional prizes, the values of which are included in the totals above. Retailers are paid a commission for the sale of all products and Player Registration Service (PRS) subscriptions. PRS commission is deducted from reported PRS sales (see Note 5). Until the introduction of the Commission’s new gaming system, PRO:SYS, in March 2001, a commission of 8% was paid to Retailers of Saturday Lotto, Super 66, PRS, Scratch’n’Win and Cash 3. Powerball, OZ Lotto and Soccer Pools all had add-on commissions that were calculated on a sliding scale basis. These averaged at 7.6%, 6.0% and 5.5% respectively. With the introduction of PRO:SYS (March 2001), the one per cent Lotto Service Fee (see Note 4) was discontinued resulting in the commissions payable on all of the above products being set at 7%, except Powerball and Scratch’n’Win which are 8%.
3. Forfeited Prizes
The Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended) provides for the following forfeiture rules:
Instant lotteries – 12 months after the last issue of tickets in an individual game Other products – 12 months from the date of the draw.
4. Retailer Fees
Lotto Service fees (LSF) represent a contribution from Retailers towards costs associated with maintaining the on-line network. In 2000/2001 LSF totalled $2.25 million ($3.30 million in 1999/2000). As noted above at Note 2, the one per cent of turnover component of the Lotto Service Fee has been discontinued since the implementation of PRO:SYS in March 2001.
Retailer Establishment fees (REF) are set at $25,000 for Retailers commencing in a new outlet and the lesser of $25,000 or 1% of the last 12 months’ turnover for Retailers taking over an existing outlet. REF represents a contribution by Retailers towards the costs of distributing and marketing lottery products. In 2000/2001 REF totalled $0.664 million ($0.865 million in 1999/2000).

With the change to activity based costing, all depreciation is fully charged to the main activity categories.
16. Funding Management
These expenses are salaries and other costs associated with the distribution of lottery funds (as prescribed by the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended)) as direct grants to eligible organisations. They are separated from other operating expenses in order that the operating profit is readily comparable with that of other lottery jurisdictions where the distribution of funds is an external function.
Page 89 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS Actual expenses during 2001 were recorded using a restructured chart of accounts. This restructure adopts the principles of zero based budgeting and matching costs to key activities. Funding management is one of those key activities and it is therefore simpler for the Commission to more accurately identify the costs associated with funding management. As a consequence, the 2000 and 2001 comparative figures may vary slightly due to the change in the method of recording.

28. Explanatory Statement
The following tables provide details of significant variations between actual revenues and expenditures for the financial year compared with (table 1) the corresponding items for the preceding year and (table 2) the corresponding items in the budget.
Significant variations are considered to be those greater than 10% and/or where the amount is deemed significant in context.
Significant variations between actual revenues and expenditures for 2000/01 and actual revenues and expenditures for 1999/2000
2001 2000 Variance Actual Actual $000s $000s % $000s Table 1 Sales Revenue 28.1.1 455,235 444,652 2.38 10,583 Interest 28.1.2 7,319 6,167 18.67 1,152 Forfeited Prizes 28.1.3 3,967 5,846 (32.14) (1,879) Player Registration Service28.1.4 357 454 (21.23) (96) Depreciation 28.1.5 3,484 3,105 12.21 379
28.1.1. Sales Revenue Oz Lotto and Powerball jackpotted more frequently and at higher levels than 2000. During 2001 both products reached the highest jackpot levels in their history, being $15 million for Oz Lotto and $30 million for Powerball. Also, with the inclusion of New South Wales to the “Bloc” sufficient additional funds were generated to allow a mid year bonus draw, this occurred in June 2001 and generated sales in excess of $10.0 million. During 2001 as a result of the added facilities of the PRO:SYS gaming system, the Commission was able to offer players the choice of a 25 game slikpik. This additional player option has significantly benefited the sales of Saturday Lotto and has manifested itself in a ‘base week’ sales increase of approx $0.15 million per week.
28.1.2. Interest The year on year increase of $1.15 million (18.67%) can be attributed to the increase of fund size from $112.7 million to $122.0 million and an increase in the average interest rate from 5.47% to 5.96% when compared with the actual fund size of $122 million. However, the actual average interest rate of 5.96% was 0.65% lower than the budgeted rate of 6.61%, the interest rate was not sufficient to substantially effect the outcome for 2001.
Page 99 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 ANNUAL ACCOUNTS 28.1.3. Forfeited Prizes The decrease in forfeited prizes of 32.1% when comparing 2001 to 2000 is largely as a result of a $1 million first division prize being forfeited during 2000.
28.1.4. Player Registration Service Players register for this service for a period of two years, 1999/2000 was the end of a two year cycle. The decrease of $0.96 million (21.23%) is representative of this fact in that most players re-registered during 2000.
28.1.5. Depreciation There was a year on year increase in depreciation expense of $0.38 million (12.21%), the majority of this increase can be attributed to the acquisition of the Commissions new gaming system PRO:SYS . This system was a significant investment for the Commission at a cost of over $13 million and was launched in March 2001.
Significant variations between estimated revenue and expenses for 2000/01 and actual revenues and expenses for 2000/01
2001 2001 Actual Budget Variance $000s $000s % $000s Table 2 Sales Revenue 28.1.6 455,235 431,060 5.61 24,175 Interest 28.1.7 7,319 6,500 12.60 819 Forfeited Prizes 28.1.8 3,967 4,550 (12.81) (583) Player Registration Service 28.1.9 357 500 (28.48) (143)
28.1.6. Sales Revenue The increase of sales revenue of $24.17 million (5.61%) when compared to budget is as a result of a combination of factors. Firstly, both jackpotting games; Oz Lotto and Powerball jackpotted at higher and more frequent levels than were originally budgeted. Secondly, as previously mentioned, New South Wales joined the Saturday Lotto Bloc partnership. A significant benefit of this addition is the Bloc’s ability to generate a larger prize pool, consequently an additional Mega Draw was introduced in June 2001, this was not budgeted for and generated sales in excess of $10.0 million.
28.1.7. Interest Investment income for 2001 was $0.81 million (5.61%) higher than was budgeted. The budget was based on an average fund size of $107 million when compared with the actual fund size of $122 million. However, the actual average interest rate of 5.96% was 0.65% lower than the budgeted rate of 6.61%, the interest rate difference was not sufficient to substantially effect the outturn for 2001.

This reduction in sales has a direct effect on forfeited prizes and consequently forfeited prizes were $0.58 million (12.81%) lower than the budget for 2001.
28.1.9. Player Registration Ser vice The 2001 budget for Player Registration Service included the impact of direct marketing activities, however these activities were introduced later than planned and had lower than expected impact on sales.

Notes to the Budget for 2001/02
The 2001/02 Budget is compared with the Actual results achieved during 2000/01. Variances are commented on if they exceed 10% or are material in nature.
Sales Revenue The total sales budget of $440.96 million represents a decrease of $14.27 million compared to the 2000/01 outturn.
The key issues relating to the sales target are:
During 2000/01, Powerball Lotto jackpotted to $30 million for the first time in the product’s history, and recorded sales of $7.3M. Due to the ‘uniqueness ‘ of this event, a $30 million jackpot has not been budgeted to occur during 2001/02. Similarly, as a result of the occurrence of three $20 million jackpots during 2000/01, the 2001/02 sales budget includes two jackpots with sales target of $3.80 million for each event.
In December 2000, the ‘Saturday Lotto Bloc’ welcomed New South Wales to the Bloc partnership. A significant benefit of this addition to the Bloc is a larger prize pool. This has manifested itself in the Bloc’s ability to fund a larger bonus draw in June. The June bonus draw is seen as an additional draw card to this product, and has the potential to generate sales in excess of $10.0M. The December 2001 Megadraw has been budgeted at a sales level of $14.5M, slightly higher than the sales achieved during 2000/01 ($14.3M).
In 2000/01, as a result of the added facilities of the PRO:SYS gaming system, the Commission has been able to offer players the choice of a 25 game Slikpik. This product retails at $10 and early evidence has shown that it is a very attractive option for our players. As a consequence, it is estimated that Saturday Lotto base week’s sales will increase from an average of $3.70M to 3.85M. The budget reflects this estimation.
The budget for Instant Tickets Sales for 2001/02 is $74.30 million, an increase of over $1.68M when compared to the 2000/01 outturn. The original budget for 2000/01 included sales of $10M for a National TV Gameshow. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of our control the gameshow, Cash Bonanza, did not commence until February 2001 and has not reached the weekly sales target of $0.25M. All states in the gameshow partnership have experienced a similar sales result as Western Australia and as a consequence, agreement has been reached to discontinue Cash Bonanza after the initial 19 week trial period. A replacement game has been budgeted at the $2 price point. The design and production of this product have yet to be finalised. Initial indicators are that sales will be in the region of $0.65 million per week and that the game will run for a period of 26 weeks, providing a sales budget for the financial year of approx $1.7 million.
Page 107 LOTTERIES COMMISSION ANNUAL REPORT 2001 OPERATING BUDGET 2002
?? Cash 3 has established a maintainable sales level of approx $0.084 million per week. This has been achieved with minimal marketing support. Therefore, Cash 3 budget for 2001/02 includes a sales target of $4.16 million again, the Commission’s strategy will be to maintain this product on a support footing rather than a promotional footing during 2001/02.
Interest The year on year decrease of $1.72 million when comparing the actual result for 2001 with the budgeted figure for 2002 is as a result of a budgeted decrease in fund size from $122.0 million to $113.0 million and an decrease in the average interest rate from 5.96% to 4.86%
Retailer Fees The comparative decrease of $1.33 million in retailer fees between the budget for 2002 and the actual result for 2001 is as a result of a change to the Lotto Service Fee. With the introduction of PRO:SYS in March 2001 the Commission has been able to simplify its commission/service fee structure and now netts off lotto service fee (1%) with the commission (8%) payable on the following products Saturday Lotto, Super 66, Cash-3 and PRS. This simplification similarly effects commission’s payable.
Player Registration Service Players register for this service for a period of two years, 2001/02 is the commencement of a two year cycle. Secondly, it is anticipated that as a result of increased marketing initiatives 2002 will see an increase in the number of players availing of this service.
Other Operating Revenue The budgeted decrease of $0.44 million in operating revenue is largely as a result of a change to the method of reporting the $30/week retailer terminal fee (2001 actual income $.28 million). This income is now reported under the grouping of “Retailer Fees” as opposed to “Other Operating Revenue” in previous years.
Gaming System Management An increase in Gaming System Management of $1.01 million has been budgeted. This increase is as a result of costs relating to support and maintenance of the Commission’s new ‘state of the art’ gaming system. The contract for support and management of PRO:SYS was negotiated in US Dollars, and as a consequence of the weak Australian dollar, we have budgeted at a conversion rate of $0.50. Current economic analysis suggests an improvement in the AUD/US$ cross rate within the forthcoming 12 months, should this occur, savings would be realised under this activity.
