It is hard to believe that a year has already passed since I was given the privilege of becoming President of Hockey NSW, but I have to say that I am proud of the achievements of the Board and the management team in what has been a year of forward-thinking change.
The primary focus of the Board this year was examining growth in our game – specifically, what it is that is holding us back and what we need to do as a collective going forward. The Board strongly believed that now was the time to “start building the house” and take advantage of the unique opportunity in front of us. The foundations that were set over the last two years through Association Reform – while fully understanding the difficulty of that process – were needed in order to grow hockey. The Board focused on three specific strategic areas: • The ‘product’ of our game • Engagement with our members • The long-term financial health of the game Our work around the product of our game focussed on all aspects impacting exactly that. This included (but was not limited to) a social form of the game, small-sided games and competition structures. The sole focus here was how we could make hockey more attractive and sustainable – we asked ourselves: “is what the sport delivers right for today’s environment and times?” The engagement component focussed on how we Hockey NSW liaise and communicate with you, our members, and how to broaden the Hockey NSW family and community. This included strategies around increasing participation, communication and new strategies around diversity and inclusiveness across all demographics in our community. The financial component was focussed on the long-term financial health of Hockey NSW, looking at how we can make the sport more self-sufficient in the future. The Board is very aware of the cost of our game to members – in particular families – and the impediment this is to growing our numbers. The focus here was how hockey could be more affordable whilst maintaining strong financial health. This year we also welcomed two new Directors to the Board with the appointment of Tony O’Leary and Colin Richardson, who have added significant depth to the skills we now have on our Board. On the other hand, our current Vice President and Board Member for the last six years, Rebecca Sanders, has decided to step down following the Annual General Meeting. I would like to thank Rebecca for all of her efforts during this time – her insights into the game will be missed.
2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2 From a management viewpoint, it has been a very busy year in the office, particularly with our change in CEO mid-year. I would like to thank Tony Mestrov again for his service to the game over the last four years. David Thompson, formerly the General Manager, has stepped into the role and provided a seamless transition, especially in regards to the continuity of the many initiatives Hockey NSW launched in 2016. David and the team at the office have been at the forefront of some exciting innovations – some obvious, some subtle – but have been busily improving the experience for our members and what Hockey NSW delivers to you. The management team has also been instrumental in delivering on strategic initiatives this year which recently included the Member Engagement Survey and Growing Hockey In Sydney Forum. It is initiatives such as these that has seen Hockey NSW set a benchmark among its State counterparts and the ranks of the Australian Sports Commission alike. I would like to personally thank everyone in the office for all their efforts this year. They truly are a highly motivated and committed team, all focused on growing our game and making it the best it can be. From a personal standpoint, it was very encouraging for me to see the progress and challenges faced by our Associations when I visited them during my tour at the start of the winter season. It was pleasing to meet everyone and put faces to names but also for me to understand what you think it takes to grow the game. Interesting, collaborative discussions were had where both parties challenged each other with a common goal of understanding, and a view to, the future. While our year off the field has been hectic, the year on field has certainly had a ‘silver lining’, as nearly all of our State Teams this year earned silver medals at their respective National Championships. I am a strong believer of the notion that you have to make it to the final in order to win it so I’d like to congratulate all of our teams and their support crews on a fantastic outcome this year. I also had the pleasure of attending the Basil Sellers Regional Challenge and the Open Men’s and Women’s State Championships. It’s clear to me that the passion and love of our game is very strong and is made stronger by the volunteers in our game. Volunteers are what makes our game great and the Board and I thank you for your significant contributions this year and into the future. Finally, I’d like to thank my fellow Board Members for their valuable insights over the last twelve months. I look forward to an exciting 2017! Yours In Hockey, Michael Tentomas President
2016 ANNUAL REPORT 3 CEO’s Report
Over the past 12 months Hockey NSW has focussed on bedding down Association Reform, improving communication with Associations, focusing our Regional Coaching Coordinators on growing the game and improving our core business. I would like to thank our Association Executives for their tireless efforts running the hockey business in their local region. I extend my appreciation to our volunteers at Association, Club and Competition level who truly are the ones that the sport relies on to function. Growth continues to be our main focus. We have seen a small increase in our registration numbers so we must continue to work together on growth. This is our shared goal - Hockey NSW, Associations and Clubs working together to ensure our game grows.
The engagement of our members through social media channels has significantly increased in 2016, improving our communication with our affiliates, members, sponsors and the general public. We have reached over 8,000 members through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We hope to see this number continue to grow.
Our Regional Coaching Coordinators have actively been working with Associations and Clubs growing their local volunteer coaching network and delivering four week programs to primary school aged children. The Sporting Schools Federal Government funded initiative enabled the delivery of our hockey program to over 20,000 children across NSW. The Regional Coaching Coordinators, volunteer coaches and Game Development Officers’ in each Association are to be commended on their efforts.
Indoor and Field State Championships are our core business. I would like to express my gratitude to the Host Associations for their cooperation and efforts, as well as our volunteers officials who have given up their time to assist in the seamless running of these events. Your contribution is truly appreciated and without it, Hockey NSW would simply not be able to run our calendar of State Championship events.
The Centre of Development continued, offering participants 21 hours of off-season specialist coaching and was capped off by the Basil Sellers Regional Challenge played at Moorebank in February. This was a huge success. Basil Sellers generosity in funding this event was amazing, enabling the event to be free for all participants. The family atmosphere at Moorebank Hockey fields was a highlight of the year. A massive thank you to the Moorebank Liverpool District Hockey Club volunteers who provided great facilities and kept all well fed and hydrated.
The Athlete Acceleration Program (AAP) continued to be improved upon with the selected players receiving benchmark specialist skill development both in their home environment and at combined camps in the 16 to 18 year old age bracket. The outstanding performances at the Under 18 National Championships by both State and Blues teams are an outcome of the excellent preparation provided by the AAP.
Congratulations to all the players and officials who were selected to represent Hockey NSW at the Field and Indoor National Championships. We extend our congratulations and thanks to the Coaches and Managers who assisted with State Teams preparation. Our results have seen us play for first place in 13 of the events, winning five gold medals and eight silver medals.
Hockey NSW has again led the way in providing a large group of high performance athletes representing Australia in both the Kookaburras and Hockeyroos squads at International events during 2016. This year has seen success for the Kookaburras at World League Finals and Champions Trophy Tournaments, maintaining their World No. 1 Ranking and the Hockeyroos have improved their World Ranking to No. 3 with strong performance internationally in 2016.
2016 ANNUAL REPORT 4 NSW have seven members of the Kookaburra squad in Tom Craig, Blake Govers, Kieran Govers, Simon Orchard, Matthew Dawson, Flynn Ogilvie and Tristan White and six members of the Hockeyroos squad in Mariah Williams, Casey Sablowski, Grace Stewart, Emily Smith, Georgina Morgan, Kellie White and Kate Hanna.
Hockey NSW has also had representatives in the Senior Development Squad and Junior Squads in 2016, testimony to the depth and focus on development in our High Performance programs in partnership with the NSW Institute of Sport.
The Rio Olympics were the pinnacle of the International Calendar in 2016 and Hockey NSW athletes Blake Govers, Simon Orchard and Matthew Dawson are now 2016 Olympians. Five women in Mariah Williams, Casey Sablowski, Grace Stewart, Emily Smith and Georgina Morgan join their ranks. Tristan White was selected to represent Australia in Rio but was a late withdrawal due to a knee injury and Tom Craig travelled as the reserve for the men’s team. Two officials hailing from NSW, Kylie Seymour and Lisa Roach, were also selected to attend the event.
Hockey NSW were proud of our athletes and I’m sure they enjoyed the Olympic experience. These athletes and those chasing new opportunities will continue to develop as we continue our international success into the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
I would like to thank our stakeholders for their support - first and foremost our Associations, the members and the countless volunteers who put their heart and soul into our sport week in week out. Thanks also to our partners, Hockey Australia and the NSW Institute of Sport. Together, we continue to grow and improve the game.
Our sport relies on the assistance provided by the Office of Sport, State & Local Government and Local Councils. We value their support and contributions to our sport, our events and our facilities across the state as they are integral to our successful operation.
Our sponsors have provided fantastic opportunities to all members, Clubs and Associations throughout 2016. We thank Toyota for the donation of a RAV 4 for the second year of the Drive My Club Raffle. Many thanks also to Select Sports and Just Hockey, Grassman, NSR, Fi-Ta, Sportscover and Kookaburra. Your ongoing contribution to our sport is greatly appreciated.
Hockey playing facilities are crucial to growth and over the last 12 months we have continued to lobby government and local councils promoting our game. The Greenhills Complex has an expected completion in the first half of 2017 which we’re looking forward to.
To the members of our Finance & Risk Committee, Women’s Masters Committee, Men’s Masters Committee and Officiating Advisory Panel, thank you for the time you have made available to ensure Hockey NSW is a well- administered and governed organisation. We appreciate your expertise and commitment to our sport.
I would like to thank our President Michael Tentomas for his direction and leadership and the Directors of Hockey NSW for their support and dedication.
I would like to thank and acknowledge Rebecca Sanders who has come to the end of her term as Director this year and has decided not to be available for re-election. Thank you so much for your commitment to the Hockey NSW Board and I am sure that your commitment to the game will remain.
I would like to acknowledge and thank the Hockey NSW staff for their hard work and dedication over the past year.
Finally, I would like to thank our former CEO Tony Mestrov for his efforts over the past four years.

The 2015-16 Indoor Season and 2016 Field Season have now come to an end.

We also acknowledge the efforts of the Host Association and their volunteers as well as the umpires, officials, Hockey NSW-appointed volunteers and everyone who worked together to make the event possible. The Under 18s and Opens were hosted by Illawarra South Coast Hockey Association over the summer to great acclaim. A fantastic atmosphere was accompanied by some fierce playing, but never without the customary NSW sportsmanship that has seen these events become an excellent family occasion. Our Host Association, Illawarra South Coast, together with their volunteers, once again put together a great event. Prior to the Indoor State Championships, the Federation of International Hockey implemented some rule changes for indoor hockey that were communicated to all Associations and members. This process was successful, with Associations/ Clubs playing the appropriate rules in the lead up to the events, as well as the changes being reiterated at the Managers and Umpires meetings. National Championships Destination NSW, in conjunction with Hockey Australia, brought the Under 21 Field National Championships to Sydney Olympic Park and the Under 15 Field National Championships to Wollongong in 2016. Illawarra South Coast Hockey Association supported the latter and were also integral in bringing the Festival of Indoor Hockey to Wollongong. The inaugural Festival brought together all age divisions of the Australian Indoor Championships and was supported by Destination Wollongong in collaboration with Hockey Australia. Finally, one last thank you to the volunteers, players, officials and parents who’ve attended and helped out with this year’s State Championships. The time expended and the effort and commitment shown is to be commended and I say with full confidence that all this would not have been possible without you.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT 10 Participation
Hockey NSW continues to have a targeted focus on recruitment in its Participation Strategy. In 2016, our Regional Coaching Coordinators (RCC) have been working hard in collaboration with their local Associations and volunteers to grow athlete numbers in all Under 18 age groups, particularly our primary school-aged athletes. This has seen a variety of programs take place, including gala days; interschool events; ‘come and try’ events; HookIn2Hockey Programs; minkey and junior competitions; primary school challenges and knockout competitions. The introduction of the Sporting School initiative by the Federal Government has introduced a much more streamlined funding model for the delivery of hockey programs in schools. Now in its sixth school term, the initiative has seen Hockey NSW conduct 164 school programs, with over 20,000 students participating in hockey sessions in terms one through three this year. The program has allowed Hockey NSW to engage enthusiastic coaches and provide positive impressions of our sport throughout the school system. Having hockey brought to the familiar environment of the student’s school is highly conducive to the growth of our sport beyond that context, with students not facing the barriers which they normally might when attempting to access hockey. Another new initiative in 2016 was the introduction of a development session at this year’s NSW Primary School Boys Championships in Wollongong, where 200 athletes were offered a clinic free of charge, acting both as a value add to the Championships and to increase the sophistication – and thus fun - of the play itself. We’re now in our third year of the Regional Coaching Coordinator Program, with 12 coaches employed full or part time across NSW. All Associations and athletes are covered by the Program, providing a top-down experience and real voice in the community for Hockey NSW. The value of that the RCCs provide in this respect cannot be overstated, demonstrating a real focus from Hockey NSW on robust participation and growth in the sport.

2016 ANNUAL REPORT 11 Pathways Report
The continued success of the Hockey NSW Blues Teams in both genders... is testimony to the “ coaches that have led these teams in 2016, as well as the role that culture plays in the development of Hockey NSW athletes.
2016 ANNUAL REPORT 12 Hockey NSW has continued to develop a single Athlete Pathway, making sure that all hockey players – regardless of age or ability – have a place within it and understand the flow of development as time passes and skills change. The Pathway is split into three main areas. 1. The Centre of Development for ages 11 through 15 culminating in the Basil Sellers Regional Challenge. 2. The Regional Academies of Sport for ages 16 through 18, underpinning the Athlete Acceleration Program (AAP). 3. The Athlete Acceleration Program, Hockey NSW’s elite High Performance program. These programs are all supported by Hockey NSW State Championships, at which athletes represent their local Association in teams in various ages and divisions. Leading on from the aforementioned Championships and Programs are the various age group NSW Squads from which Hockey NSW’s Representative Teams are chosen. The continued success of the Hockey NSW Blues Teams in both genders, in the Under 13, 15 and 18 age groups, is testimony to the coaches that have led these teams in 2016, as well as the role that that culture plays in the development of Hockey NSW athletes. In 2016 we had 700 athletes register for the Centre of Development Under 13s & Under 15s Program. This Program provides off-season development for athletes in their home region, with quality coaches, session plans and an Individual Athlete Plan developed for each athlete to follow in the year ahead. The Basil Sellers Regional Challenge was played at Moorebank with over 700 athletes participating in a modified format of the game in an environment with equal focus on development and participation, with the event described as a “jamboree” of hockey. The large majority of Regional Academies completed hockey programs in the 2015-16 season, with some Academies having athletes transition into the Athlete Acceleration Program. In two cases, athletes progressed into the NSW Under 18 Blues Teams and attended National Championships. The Athlete Acceleration Program is an elite hockey program catering for 130 of NSW’s best athletes under 18 years of age in both genders. This program supports the NSW Team’s preparations for Under 18 National Championships and follows the Australian Winning Edge Program Principles, with support from the National Training Centre of NSWIS. At the conclusion of the 2016 National Championships we have seen 13 female and 6 male athletes transition from the AAP into the National Futures Squad, identified as potential National Team members in the future. This is a noteworthy achievement and bodes well for NSW’s presence in future National Teams. Hockey NSW will continue its development of this single Athlete Pathway and encourage athlete progression along with participation at all levels.

The financial statements are for Hockey New South Wales Limited as an individual entity, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Hockey New South Wales Limited is a company limited by guarantee.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with applicable Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Accounting Policies (a) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair values as indicated, less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment is measured on a cost basis. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed by the directors annually, to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets' employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts. The Australian Accounting Standards do not require not for profit entities such as the company to revalue their non-current assets to current market value, therefore these assets are recognised at their cost less any adjustments for amortisation and/or depreciation. (b) DEPRECIATION The depreciation rates used for each class of assets are:-
Class of Property, Plant & Equipment Depreciation Rate Per Annum Leasehold Improvements 17% Computer & Other Equipment 10% - 50% Office Fixtures & Fittings 8% - 40% Motor Vehicles 22% The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Asset classes carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. (c) REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE Maintenance, repair costs and minor renewals are charged against income in the period in which they are incurred. (d) INCOME TAX No provision has been made in respect of income tax as the company is deemed to be exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. (e) ACCOUNTS PAYABLE Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. (f) COMPARATIVE AMOUNTS Where required by Accounting Standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(g) GOODS & SERVICES TAX Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance for doubtful debts.

Accounting Policies
(i) FINANCIAL ASSETS Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted. Amortised cost is calculated as: i. the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; ii. less principal repayments; iii. plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and iv. less any reduction for impairment. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. (i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, or where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which will be classified as non-current assets. (iii) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments. Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to be disposed of within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (iv) Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Fair Value Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. Impairment At the end of each reporting period, the entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(v) Financial liabilities Derecognising Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability, which is extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Accounting Policies
(j) EMPLOYEE ENTITLEMENTS Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may not satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows. Contributions are made by the entity to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred. (k) CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. (l) REVENUE Grant revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the entity obtains control of the grant and it is probable that the economic benefits gained from the grant will flow to the entity and the amount of the grant can be measured reliably. If conditions are attached to the grant which must be satisfied before it is eligible to receive the contribution, the recognition of the grant as revenue will be deferred until those conditions are satisfied. When grant revenue is received whereby the entity incurs an obligation to deliver economic value directly back to the contributor, this is considered a reciprocal transaction and the grant revenue is recognised in the state of financial position as a liability until the service has been delivered to the contributor, otherwise the grant is recognised as income on receipt. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. (m) RELATED PARTIES There have been no related party transactions entered into by the Company covering the period under review. (n) PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions recognised represent the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. (o) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS At the end of each reporting period, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and when the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an assets class, the entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the class of assets belong. Where an impairment loss on a revalued asset is identified, this is debited against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset. (p) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

NOTE 14 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, local money market instruments, short-term and long-term investments, accounts receivable and payable and leases. Financial Risk Management Policies Consisting of senior committee members, the finance committee’s overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Company in meeting its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects on financial performance. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the finance committee on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk relating to interest rate risk and equity price risk. Credit risk Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a financial loss for the company. The company does not have any material credit risk exposure.
Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Company might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations in relation to financial liabilities. The Company manages this risk by preparing forward looking cash flow analysis in relation to its operational, investing and financing activities, maintaining a reputable credit profile, managing credit risk related to financial assets, only investing surplus cash with major financial institutions and comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with the realisation profile of financial assets. Market Risk i. Interest rate risk Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. The company is also exposed to earnings volatility on floating rate instruments. ii. Price risk Price risk relates to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices of securities held. The company is exposed to securities price risk on investments held for trading or for medium to longer terms. Such risk is managed through diversification of investment. Net Fair Values - Fair value estimation The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities can be compared to their carrying values as presented in the statement of financial position. Fair values are those amounts at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

NOTE 14 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Interest Rate Risk The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on those financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Net Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Cash and cash equivalents and non-interest bearing monetary financial assets and liabilities are shown at their carrying value. There are no other monetary financial assets or liabilities.
Estimation of fair values All financial instruments reflected in the above tables have fair values which been measured at cost less impairment adjustments.
NOTE 15 - CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Management controls the capital of the entity to ensure that adequate cash flows are generated to fund its operations and programs, and such that returns from investments are maximised. The Finance and Risk Committee ensures that the overall risk management strategy is in line with this objective. The Finance and Risk Committee operates under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. These include credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements. Management effectively manages the entity’s capital by assessing the entity’s financial risks and responding to changes in these risks and in the market. There have been no changes to the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the entity since the previous year. NOTE 16 - EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE There have been no events subsequent to reporting date, which would have a material effect on the information contained in the financial statement of the Company.
NOTE 17 - COMPANY DETAILS The registered office and principal place of business of the Company is Level 3, Sydney Olympic Park Hockey Centre, Shirley Strickland Drive, Sydney Olympic Park NSW 2127.
