14 Lasseters Annual Report 2013
notes to sHAreHolders
“The group’s core land-based hotel and casino operations stayed resilient and remained profitable, contributing 56.9% or aud43.2 million to the group’s revenue in fy2013.”
THE yEAR IN REvIEW
on behalf of the Board of directors, i would like to present the annual report of Lasseters international holdings Limited (“Lasseters” or collectively known as the “group”) for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 (“fy2013”).
fy2013 continued to be a demanding year for the group, impacted by general macro-economic conditions globally. This has resulted in weak market sentiments across most industries around the world with the strong aussie dollar adding pressure to the Tourism market. frequent interstate Travelers and Meetings, incentives, Conferencing and Exhibitions (MiCE) market looked to prioritize disposable income and have found alternative travelling destinations outside australia in some cases to be cheaper.
amidst the bearish market sentiment and unpredictable consumer spending, the group recorded a marginal increase in its revenue at aud75.8 million in fy2013 as compared to aud75.6 million for financial year ended 30 June 2012 (“fy2012”).
for the reporting period, the group successfully disposed of holiday inn on flinders, Melbourne (“hif”) and Lasseters wharf Casino (“LwC”) on 10 May 2013 and 23 July 2013 respectively and on 19 July 2013, contracted for the sale of Cypress Lakes resort (“CLr”) as part of the group’s overall rationalisation strategy to dispose of some of its loss making entities as well as unlock asset value and reduced the group’s gearing level.
The proposed CLr sale and a write down on the assets value in the wellness business has resulted in the group having to impair (“non-cash” item) its combined assets value of aud6.4 million in fy2013, a requirement under the accounting standard. as a result of which, the group posted a higher net loss attributable to shareholders of aud11.4 million in fy2013. without the impairment, the group net loss would be aud5.0 million, an improvement of 26.5% as compared to a net loss of aud6.8 million in fy2012.
however, the group’s core land-based hotel and casino operations has remained resilient and remained profitable, contributing 56.9% or aud43.2 million to the group revenue, which reflects an increase of 8.7% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) from fy2012.
15Lasseters Annual Report 2013
Notes to Shareholders
buSINESS AND CORPORATE DEvELOPMENTS
despite the challenges faced, the group remains committed to ensure it preserves its core assets and continue on its rationalisation strategy and regain its focus.
our expansion plan to transform the gaming operations, Lasseters hotel Casino (“LhC”) in alice Springs, australia into a resort style gaming destination is progressing well with the final development on hotel and casino reception areas, commercial gym and spa scheduled for completion in July 2014. we are pleased to report that in fy2013, the new 66 premium rooms contributed a y-o-y growth of 25.6% to the room revenue at the property. Contributions from completed Vip gaming Lounge and newly theme restaurant “Tali” (literally carrying the meaning of “desert dune”) will create a positive effect to the group’s result for the current financial year. with stabilisation and full completion of the expansion works, LhC will further enhance its status as the “cenTre of entertainment” in alice Springs and uplift its position amongst its competitors nationally.
while the group remains focused to build on its core business, fy2013 is a rationalisation year with the group successfully disposed of holiday inn on flinders, Melbourne (“hif”) and Lasseters wharf Casino (“LwC”) on 10 May 2013 and 23 July 2013 respectively. These disposals have allowed the group to unlock its asset value and utilise part of the proceeds to pare down group gearing level. as announced, on 19 July 2013, the group contracted for the sale of CLr with hunter Valley (CL) Management pty Ltd. This accretive transaction further enable the group to dispose of loss making business and together with the value realised from hif and LwC offers the group a flexibility to reallocate its resources efficiently and enhance shareholders’ value going forward.
in Malaysia, the group’s maiden property development business arm, Merry palms Sdn Bhd (“MpSB”) continues to trade positively with 70% of the units sold and the project is scheduled to be handed over to the purchasers by end 2014. MpSB is currently exploring to acquire additional land bank to add on to its development portfolio.
LOOkING AHEAD
with the recent change in government in australia, 2014 is going to an interesting year. we hope that, the new government will review and table positive business centric policies and lend its support to the business community at large. This is particularly so, when the global sentiment remains weak and Europe is still undergoing a difficult economic recovery.
nonetheless, we remain dedicated and will continue to keep track of regional casino developments by identifying opportunities that may lead to shareholder accretive transactions, solidifying our business fundamentals, reinforcing the group’s position in its core gaming markets.
we remain cautious and adopt a conservative approach in steering ahead. The group shall continue to revisit and manage its business strategies at effective pulse that would work efficiently and effectively within the difficult market conditions. APPRECIATION
i would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to my fellow directors for the guidance and encouragement in overcoming obstacles over this challenging period, management and staff for their unwavering commitment and dedication to Lasseters, to business associates and partners, bankers, suppliers and customers for their continuous support to the group. To all my loyal shareholders, it was a privilege to obtain your unwavering support and votes of confidence and i look forward to meeting you at the upcoming annual general Meeting.
Thank you.

Cypress Lakes Group (“CLGL”)Cypress Lakes group owns and operates a resort golf course, hotel, health retreat and spa businesses within australia.
as part of the cost reduction strategy, CLgL was voluntarily delisted from australian Securities Exchange on 9 december 2009.
OPERATIONS REvIEW
financial performance remained strenuous in light of the unpredictable consumer spending and bearish market sentiment that continues to dominate the australian market. CLgL’s revenue fell by 8.7% y-o-y to aud32.6 million in fy2013 from aud35.7 million in fy2012.
resort revenue contribution from rooms, food & beverages, convention centre and golf slid 7.6% y-o-y to aud10.9 million in fy2013 as compared to aud11.8 million in fy2012. The reduction is mainly due to drop in golf revenue and reduced room revenue arising from a lower average daily room rates of aud202.2 as compared to aud213.76 in fy2012 with occupancy rate remains fairly consistent to what was registered in previous corresponding period of approximately 55.0%.
health retreats and spa program revenue contribution decreased by 5.9% y-o-y to aud10.0 million in fy2013, with the health retreat segment receiving a total of 17,616 program guest nights in fy2013 as compared to 18,219 guests in fy2012. The hotel division under
hif contributed revenue of aud11.6 million for the 10 months to 10 May 2013.
Stringent cost measure and practice continues to be adhered to within CLgL and operating costs decreased by 4.1% y-o-y to aud33.2 million in fy2013 from aud34.6 million in fy2012. The drop is partly due to a 10 months consolidation effect on hif. finance costs dropped to aud4.1 million from aud4.9 million in fy2012, the savings in interest is mainly due to a repayment in bank borrowings from the proceeds received on the sale of hif.
for the period under review, CLgL recorded a net loss before income tax and intercompany transactions of aud10.5 million in fy2013 as compared to aud6.5 million in fy2012. The higher loss is mainly due to an exceptional item of aud6.4 million in the write down in asset value from the proposed Cypress Lakes resort sale and an impairment from the wellness business, as required under the accounting standard.
20 Lasseters Annual Report 2013
Review of operations
OuTLOOk
as announced, on 10 May 2013, CLgL successfully disposed of hif in Melbourne and the group had, on 19 July 2013, contracted for the sale of CLr as part of the group’s overall rationalisation strategy.
Moving forward and pending completion of CLr sale, CLgL shall concentrate to rebuild its health retreat and spa segment while acknowledging that the growth and business sustainability of the spa and wellness division will depend largely on its ability to maintain and grow its market share.
apart from investing in branding efforts in boasting market awareness of “The golden door”, the group remained committed to extend its service and product offerings through selective capital
investment programs to move up the value chain so as to remain relevant to market demand within the wellness regime. on 15 May 2013, Tgdw australia entered into a licensing agreement with Shine (aust) pty Ltd and transformed Tgdw from a wellness retreat to a boot camp facility, a well-known TV reality show on weight loss management under brand name “The Biggest Loser (TBL)”. Such move would enable Tgd australia to expand its product offering, remove competitions amongst its industry peers and create a positive spin on spill over of Tgd loyal guests from Tgdw to TgdE. The group is vigorously looking at various measures to value add and streamline Cypress’ assets, but not limiting to unlocking the assets if such actions could improve or contribute positively to the group’s overall performance.
Merry Palms Sdn bhd (“MPSb”)MpSB commenced its physical construction of a sixteen (16) units industrial factory lots, measuring 7 acres of a leasehold land in the first quarter of fy2013.
OPERATIONAL REvIEW
for the period under review, MpSB traded positively with 70% of the factory lots successfully sold. revenue and expenses for MpSB has not been recognised in fy2013 as ifrS requires the group
to adopt a completed contract method whereby revenue and expenses will only be recognised in the profit or loss account when significant risks and rewards of ownership on the property are transferred to the buyer.
OuTLOOk
The project is scheduled to be handed over to the purchasers by end 2014. MpSB is currently exploring to acquire additional land bank to add on to its development portfolio and the group believes that by tapping on the management’s wide experience in development and construction sectors, this property arm will generate additional revenue stream for the group, moving forward.

The primary functions of the Board are to provide stewardship for Lasseters and its subsidiaries (the “group”) and to enhance and protect long-term returns and value for its shareholders. Besides carrying out its statutory responsibilities, the Board oversees the formulation of the group’s long-term strategic objectives and directions, reviews and approves the group’s annual budgets, business and strategic plans and monitors the achievement of the group’s corporate objectives. it also oversees the management of the group’s business affairs and conducts periodic reviews of the group’s financial performance and implementing policies relating to financial matters, which include risk management and internal control and compliance.
The Board’s approval is also required in matters such as major funding proposals, investment and divestment proposals, major acquisitions and disposals, corporate or financial restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, share issuance and dividends and major corporate policies on key areas of operations, the release of the group’s half yearly and full year results and interested person transactions of a material nature. The Board ensures that incoming new directors are familiarized with the group’s businesses and corporate governance practices upon their appointment to facilitate the effective discharge of their duties.

There is a good balance between the executive and non-executive directors and a strong and independent element on the Board. Key information on directors can be found in the “Board of directors” section of this annual report.
The Board, through the delegation of its authority to the nominating Committee (“nC”), has used its best efforts to ensure that directors appointed to the Board possess the relevant background, experience and knowledge in technology, business, finance and management skills critical to the group’s business to enable the Board to make sound and well-considered decisions.
The independence of each director is reviewed annually by the nC, which confirms that the independent directors made up at least one-third of the Board. The Board considers an “independent” director as one who has no relationship with Lasseters, its related companies or its officers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of the director’s independent business judgment of the conduct of the group’s affairs.
although the independent directors hold directorships in other companies, the Board is of the view that such multiple Board representations do not hinder them from carrying out their duties as directors. These directors would widen the experience of the Board and give it a broader perspective.
The composition of the Board is reviewed on an annual basis by the nC to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience, and collectively possesses the necessary core competence for informed decision-making and effective functioning.
chairman and chief executive officer Principle 3 : Clear division of responsibilities at the top of the Company The Company has not adopted the recommendation of the Code to have a separate appointment of Chairman and Chief Executive officer. The Board is of the view that it is in the best interests of the group to adopt a single leadership structure, whereby the CEo and the Chairman of the Board is the same person, so as to ensure that the decision-making process of the group would not be unnecessarily hindered.
presently, dato’ Jaya J B Tan, as Executive Chairman, continues to provide strategic leadership for the group and hold executive responsibility for the Company’s business. additionally, he is responsible for the effective workings of the Board and promotes high standards of corporate governance. he ensures that Board meetings are held when necessary and sets the Board meeting agenda in consultation with other directors and the key management. he also reviews Board papers before they are presented to the Board to ensure that information provided to the Board members is adequate. during the Board meetings, he facilitates effective contributions and constructive discussions on strategic issues and business planning from the executive and non-executive directors. dato’ Jaya is assisted by an experienced and qualified team of executive officers of the group.

during the financial year, the Board with the concurrence of aC, after carrying out a review, is of the opinion that the internal controls of the group are adequate to address operational, financial and compliance risks. in arriving at the opinion, the Board is of the view that the internal controls of the group have reasonable assurance about achieving the effectiveness and efficiency of operations; reliability of financial reporting; and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Corporate Governance
it is part of the Board’s role to ensure that there are adequate policies for risk management and internal controls and to oversee the effectiveness of the policies in achieving the group’s goals and objectives. The responsibility for implementing appropriate policies and procedures to achieve effective risk management and internal control is delegated to Senior Management. The overall framework established by Management is designed to enhance the soundness of the group’s financial reporting, risk management, compliance and internal control systems which include:-
• process improvement initiatives undertaken by business units;• Benchmarking against key risk indicators, such as loss reporting, exceptions reporting and management reviews;• annual formal evaluations by the heads of business units and support functions on the soundness, effectiveness and efficiency of the
financial reporting, risk management;• compliance and internal control systems in their respective areas of responsibility;• implementation of formal policies and procedures relating to the delegation of authority;• involvement of experienced and suitably qualified employees who take responsibility for important business functions; and• Segregation of key functions that are deemed incompatible and that may give rise to a risk that errors or irregularities may not be
promptly detected.
There is an organisational structure with clearly drawn lines of accountability and delegation of authority. There are documented procedures in place that cover management accounting, financial reporting, investment appraisal, information systems security, compliance and other risk management issues.
The systems that are in place are intended to provide guidance in managing and mitigating the business risks in safeguarding assets, maintenance of proper accounting records, the reliability of financial information, compliance with applicable legislation and best practice, but not absolute assurance against misstatements or losses.
