The University of New South WalesNotes to the financial statements

31 December 2012

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial reports are set out below. These policies havebeen consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separatefinancial statements for The University of New South Wales (the "University") as an individual entity (the "parent entity")and the consolidated entity (the "Group") consisting of the University and its controlled entities.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with the requirements of thePublic Finance and Audit Act 1983 and Public Finance and Audit Act Regulations 2010, Australian Accounting Standards,other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretationsand Higher Education Support Act 2003 (Financial Statement Guidelines) and other State/Australian Governmentlegislative requirements.

The University is a not-for-profit entity and the financial statements and notes of the University have been prepared on thatbasis. Some of the requirements for not-for-profit entities are inconsistent with the International Financial ReportingStandards (IFRSs) requirements.

Date of authorisation for issueThe financial statements were authorised for issue on 8 April 2013 by the Council.

Historical cost conventionThese financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation ofavailable-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through theincome statement and certain classes of property, plant and equipment.

Critical accounting estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certaincritical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying theGroup’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptionsand estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below:

i. Superannuation liability - Deferred Government ReceivablesCertain superannuation liabilities are expected to be fully funded by the Federal Government as recognised in theDEEWR 2004-2005 financial statements and confirmed in correspondence from DEEWR. The calculation of theliability requires the use of various assumptions. Refer to note 39 for details of various assumptions used incalculating the superannuation liabilities and the corresponding deferred Government receivables.

ii. Employee related provisions and obligationsThe Group makes provisions in respect of superannuation contributions and additional on-costs on payments madeto employees.

The Group assesses the appropriateness of these provisions at each reporting date by evaluating conditionsspecific to the Group. The calculation of these provisions requires the use of various assumptions, such asexpected rate of return on the funds and superannuation entitlements, and is based on a range of possibleoutcomes.

iii. Lease term in the lease agreement for part of the Lowy Cancer Research CentreThe contracted lease term in the operating lease agreement with the lessee is for 35 years. However, the actuallease term is dependent on specific terms and conditions, which draw reference to the lessee’s intention toexercise certain options available in the agreement. Management has assessed the probability of the lesseeexercising the options and has estimated the lease term, at the inception of the lease, as being approximately nineyears. Consequently, prepaid lease income of $35 million received during 2009 is to be recognised in income on astraight-line basis over that period.

iv. Long-term leases of UNSW propertiesThe Group considers the substance of the leasing arrangements and the likelihood of continuance of the leasesthrough exercise of renewal options in order to determine the appropriate accounting treatment of the leased

properties. Where at the inception of a lease, management considered that it would be reasonably certain thatan option to extend a lease would be exercised, the assumed lease term is inclusive of the additional option period.This assessment impacts management's determination of the accounting treatment of the leased properties.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by the parent entity asat 31 December 2012 and the results of all controlled entities for the year then ended.

Controlled entities are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to governthe financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. Theexistence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessingwhether the Group controls another entity.

Controlled entities are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of controlled entities by the Group.

All inter-entity transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated infull on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment ofthe asset transferred. Accounting policies of controlled entities have been changed where necessary to ensureconsistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(c) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying ashareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for in the parententity's financial statements using the cost method and in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method ofaccounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of anyaccumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group's share of its associates' post acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its shareof post acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post acquisition movements areadjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognised in the parententity's income statement, while in the consolidated financial statements they reduce the carrying amount of theinvestment.

When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any otherunsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made paymentson behalf of the associate.

(d) Joint ventures and Cooperative Research Centres

The Group has interests in Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) which requires the Group to contribute in cash and in-kind based on the proportion of the interest in the CRC.

Contributions in cash and in-kind are expensed and included in the income statement. The Group's share of contributionsare not included in the statement of financial position. In the event that a CRC's research results in a move tocommercialisation, a separate legal entity is established and the Group's share of the new entity is treated as an available-for-sale financial asset, joint venture, associate or controlled entity as appropriate.

(e) Public Private Partnerships (PPP)

The Group enters into PPP with the private sector in relation to the construction and operation of new studentaccommodation. Each individual PPP is accounted for in accordance with its substance and economic reality, and notmerely its legal form. The Group recognises the new buildings that are the subject of the PPP as an emerging asset,incrementally over the lease period. Land leased to the private sector and any other service elements that are part of thePPP, excluding the buildings, are accounted for separately in accordance with the applicable Australian AccountingStandards.

The private entity will retain rental revenue during the operating phase and will transfer the student accomodation toUNSW at the end of the concession period.

(f) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currencyItems included in the financial statements of each of the controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements arepresented in Australian dollars, which is the parent entity's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balancesForeign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the datesof the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from thetranslation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognisedin the income statement.

Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through income statement, are reportedas part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equities classified asavailable-for-sale financial assets, are included in other comprehensive income.

(iii) Controlled entitiesThe results and financial position of all the controlled entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationaryeconomy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentationcurrency as follows:

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balancesheet;

income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not areasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which caseincome and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and ofborrowings are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or borrowings repaid, aproportionate share of such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss onsale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign entities are treated as assets and liabilities of theforeign entities and translated at the closing rate.

(g) Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that the futureeconomic benefits will flow to the Group and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's activities as describedbelow.

Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, duties and taxes paid, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

(i) Government grantsFinancial assistance provided by the Australian Government is recognised in the year in which it is received or whenentitlement for the revenue is established.

(ii) Student fees and chargesStudent fees are recognised as revenue in the year in which the service is provided. Student fees received that relate tocourses to be held in future periods are treated as income in advance.

(iii) Sale of goodsSales revenue comprises revenue earned (net of returns, discounts and allowances) from the supply of products toentities outside the Group. Sales revenue is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership are transferred tothe customer.

(iv) Fees and charges for servicesRevenue from services rendered is recognised in the period in which the service is provided, having regard to the stage ofcompletion of the service.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(g) Revenue recognition (continued)

(v) Investment incomeInterest income is recognised as it accrues. Dividend income is recognised when the dividend is declared by thesubsidiary or investee.

(vi) Other revenueThis represents miscellaneous income and other grant income not derived from core business and is recognised when it isearned.

(h) Income tax

The parent entity is exempt from income tax under Commonwealth income taxation legislation. Within the Group, however,there are entities that are not exempt from paying income tax.

For those entities not exempt from tax, the income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the currentperiod's taxable income, based on the income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assetsand liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts in the financial statements, and unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when theassets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantially enacted for thejurisdiction where the entity is situated. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initialrecognition of an asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporarydifferences if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did notaffect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable thatfuture taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and taxbases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of thetemporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(i) Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified asoperating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged tothe income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Lease income from operating leases, where theGroup is a lessor, is recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(j) Non-current assets (or disposal group) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of their carrying amount andfair value less costs to sell, if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather thanthrough continuing use.

A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not inexcess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date ofthe sale of the non-current asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition. An impairment loss isrecognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they areclassified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as heldfor sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presentedseparately from the other assets in the statement of financial position. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as heldfor sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the statement of financial position.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(j) Non-current assets (or disposal group) held for sale and discontinued operations (continued)

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and thatrepresents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan todispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Theresults of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the income statement.

(k) Impairment of assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to depreciation or amortisation and are tested annuallyfor impairment. All other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement for the amount bywhich the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognisedagainst the revaluation reserve of that class of asset to the extent that the impairment reverses a previous revaluationsurplus. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

In accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of assets in respect of not for profit entities, value in use is the depreciatedreplacement cost of an asset when the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent on the asset'sability to generate net cash inflows and where the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining futureeconomic benefits. In respect of for profit components of the Group, for the purposes of assessing impairment, assets aregrouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highlyliquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from date of purchase that are readily convertible toknown amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bankoverdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

(m) Receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less any provision forimpairment. Receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Cash flows relating toshort-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off byreducing the carrying amount directly. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the incomestatement.

A provision for impaired receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able tocollect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, theprobability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or be delinquent in makingpayments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference betweenthe asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The amount of the provision isrecognised in the income statement within impairment of assets.

(n) Inventories

Inventories are measured on weighted average cost basis at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisablevalue is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make thesale.

(o) Investments and other financial assets

The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through income statement,loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends onthe purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments atinitial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(o) Investments and other financial assets (continued)

(i) Financial assets at fair value through income statementThis comprises financial assets at fair value through the income statement on initial recognition. A financial asset isclassified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term or if so designated bymanagement. The policy of the Group is to designate a financial asset if the possibility it will be sold in the short-termexists and if the asset is subject to frequent changes in fair value. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

(ii) Loans and receivablesLoans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in anactive market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention ofselling the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months afterthe balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables inthe statement of financial position (note 16).

(iii) Held-to-maturity investmentsHeld-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturitiesthat the Group's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group were to sell other thanan insignificant amount of held-to-maturity financial assets, the whole category would be reclassified as available-for-sale.Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months fromthe reporting date, which are classified as current assets. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost usingthe effective interest method.

(iv) Available-for-sale financial assetsAvailable-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities (held through managed funds), arenon-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They areincluded in non-current assets unless the Group intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balancesheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the settlement date, being the date on which the Group commits topurchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assetsnot carried at fair value through income statement. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cashflows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all therisks and rewards of ownership.

(v) Subsequent measurementAvailable-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through income statement are subsequently carried atfair value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fairvalue through income statement' category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired,the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investmentsecurities.

(vi) ImpairmentThe Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group offinancial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolongeddecline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired. If anysuch evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between theacquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in theincome statement is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in theincome statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

(p) Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into, and are subsequentlyremeasured to their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accountingare recognised immediately in the income statement.

Land and buildings (including student accommodation and leasehold improvements), works of art and rare books areshown at fair value, based on annual valuations by external independent valuers, less any subsequent accumulateddepreciation. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is restated proportionately with the change in thegross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount.All other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment, which isassumed to approximate their fair values. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of theitems.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, onlywhen it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the itemcan be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financialperiod in which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognised in other comprehensiveincome and accumulated in equity under the heading of property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve. To the extentthat the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised in the income statement, the increase is first recognised inthe income statement. Decreases that reverse previous increases in that class of assets are first charged againstrevaluation reserves in other comprehensive income, to the extent of the remaining reserve attributable to the asset class;all other decreases are charged to the income statement.

Land, works of art and rare books are not depreciated. Depreciation on the other classes of assets is calculated using thestraight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated usefullives. The depreciation rates are as follows:

Asset Controlled Entities Parent- Buildings, including student accommodation 2.50% to 6.67% 2.50% to 6.67%- Computer equipment 20% to 33% 33%- Other equipment 10% 10% to 20%- Motor Vehicles 12% to 30% 12%- Library holdings 10% 10%- Leasehold improvements 2.50% to 20% 2.50% to 20%

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greaterthan its estimated recoverable amount (note 1(k)).

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with the carrying amount. The netgains and losses from the sale of assets are included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised. Whenrevalued assets are sold, it is the Group's policy to transfer the amounts included in property, plant and equipmentrevaluation reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

(s) Intangible assets

(i) Research and development - PatentsExpenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of obtaining new scientific or technical knowledge andunderstanding, is recognised in the income statement as an expense when it is incurred.

(s) Intangible assets (continued)

Expenditure on development activities, being the application of research findings or other knowledge to a plan or designfor the production of new or substantially improved products or services before the start of commercial production or use,is capitalised if the product or service is technically and commercially feasible; adequate resources are available tocomplete development and if it is sufficiently certain that the future economic benefits to the Group will cover not only theusual operational and administrative costs but also the development costs themselves. There are also several othercriteria relating to the development projects and the processes or products being developed, all of which have to be met tojustify asset recognition. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials,services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in theincome statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulatedamortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the period of the expectedbenefit, which will vary depending on useful life, usually 20 years.

(ii) Computer softwareComputer software is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, onlywhen it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the itemcan be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financialperiod in which they are incurred.

Computer software is amortised using the straight line method to allocate its cost, net of any residual value, over itsestimated useful life of 5 years.

(iii) Digitalised library research collectionsDigitalised library research collections are perpetual licences to access online research material. Digitalised libraryresearch collections are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is calculated using thestraight line method to allocate the cost over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

(t) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial yearwhich are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(u) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measuredat amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount isrecognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract isdischarged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has beenextinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred orliabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilityfor at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(v) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that isrequired to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

The capitalisation rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalised is the weighted average interestrate applicable to the entity's outstanding borrowings during the year.

(w) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it isprobable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated.Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determinedby considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow withrespect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle thepresent obligation at the balance sheet date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current marketassessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to thepassage of time is recognised as a borrowing cost.

(x) Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries, sick leaveLiabilities for short-term employee benefits including wages and salaries and non-monetary benefits due to be settledwithin 12 months after the end of the period are measured at the amount expected to be paid when the liability is settledand recognised in other payables. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken andmeasured at the rates paid or payable.

(ii) Annual leaveThe liability for long-term employee benefits such as annual leave is recognised in current provisions for employeebenefits as it is not due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. It is measured at the amountexpected to be paid when the liability is settled. Regardless of the expected timing of settlements, provisions made inrespect of employee benefits are classified as a current liability, unless there is an unconditional right to defer thesettlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, in which case it would be classified as a non-current liability.

(iii) Long service leaveThe liability for long service leave is recognised as a provision and measured as the present value of expected futurepayments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit creditmethod. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures andperiods of service. The expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on nationalGovernment bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cashoutflows.

(iv) Retirement benefit obligationsAll employees of the Group are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death, from the superannuation planscontributed to by the Group. The plans have both defined benefit sections and defined contribution sections. The definedbenefit sections provide defined lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary. The definedcontribution section receives fixed contributions from the Group and its legal or constructive obligation is limited to thesecontributions.

A liability or asset in respect of each defined benefit superannuation plan is recognised in the statement of financialposition, and is measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date plus unrecognisedactuarial gains (less unrecognised actuarial losses) less the fair value of the superannuation fund's assets at that date andany unrecognised past service cost. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected futurepayments which arise from membership of the plan to the reporting date, calculated annually by independent actuariesusing the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to the expected future wage and salary levels, experience ofemployee departures and periods of service.

Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds withterms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised inthe period in which they occur, outside of the income statement, in the statement of comprehensive income.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

(x) Employee benefits (continued)

Past service costs are recognised immediately in the income statement, unless the changes to the superannuation planare conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, thepast service costs are amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

Future taxes that are funded by the entity and are part of the provision of the existing benefit obligation (for example, taxeson investment income and employer contributions) are taken into account in measuring the net liability or asset.

Contributions to the defined contribution plan are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaidcontributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(v) Unfunded superannuationThe unfunded liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position under provisions have been determined byindependent actuaries relating to the defined benefit superannuation plans: State Superannuation Scheme (SSS), StateAuthorities Superannuation Scheme (SASS), State Authorities Non-Contributory Superannuation Scheme (SANCS) andthe UNSW Professorial Superannuation Fund. Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 39.

The Australian Government and the State Government are reviewing the current arrangements relating to superannuationpayments in respect of current and past members of unfunded (or partly funded) State superannuation schemes.

This arrangement is evidenced by the Higher Education Funding Act 1988 and subsequent amended legislation.Accordingly the unfunded liabilities have been recognised in the statement of financial position under provisions with acorresponding asset recognised under receivables. The recognition of both the asset and liability consequently does notaffect the year end net position of the University and its controlled entities for those schemes, except as otherwisedisclosed.

(vi) Workers' CompensationThe parent entity is a licensed self insurer for workers compensation in New South Wales (NSW) and the AustralianCapital Territory (ACT).

Workers' compensation matters are managed through two funds, one to record the parent entity's workers' compensationactivities in New South Wales (known as the NSW Fund) and one to record the parent entity's workers' compensationactivities in the Australian Capital Territory (known as the ACT Fund). The provision for outstanding claims liability for eachfund is recognised based on an independent actuarial assessment at balance sheet date.

As a self insurer, the parent entity sets a notional annual premium, which is charged on all employee salaries. Costs ofworkers' compensation claims, claims administration expenses and actuarially assessed increases/decreases in theprovision for outstanding claims liability are met from the notional premium. The outstanding claims liability includes anamount for injuries that have already occurred but have not yet been reported. The annual purchase of reinsuranceprotects the University from the adverse effects of large claims. The University pays a number of administration costs tothe workers compensation scheme regulators. In NSW, costs include the WorkCover Fund Contribution and DustDiseases Fund. In the ACT, the Default Insurance Fund Levy and Magistrates Court Levy are recurrent costs.

(vii) Termination benefitsTermination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employeeaccepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it isdemonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal planwithout possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntaryredundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

(y) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is notrecoverable from the taxation authority. In this case, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or aspart of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GSTrecoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement offinancial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financingactivities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

(z) Trusts and other liabilities

Revenue and expenses in respect of Trusts, Cooperative Research Centres and investments held on behalf of associatedentities are recognised under other liabilities. Funds held and invested on behalf of controlled entities are recognised asother liabilities in the statement of financial position of the parent entity and are eliminated on consolidation.

(aa) Key Management Personnel

(a) Financing arrangement

On 15 December 2006 an agreement was signed with Westpac, in which the parent entity granted a 99 year ground leaseover 222-227 Anzac Parade to Westpac Office Trust for an amount of $41,000,000 (excluding GST), and agreed to take alease-back on the property for an initial period of 25 years. The parent entity also holds two ten year options. The lease-back transaction is a “triple net lease” with the parent entity being responsible for all outgoings, management and capitalexpenditure/maintenance expenditure for the full period of the lease-back periods. The transaction was completed on 12January 2007.

On 22 December 2009, Westpac Office Trust sold the rights and assigned their rights and obligations under the tenancylease agreements.

The parent entity has retained the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the property, thus it has treated thetransaction as a financing arrangement. Funds received under the transaction have been disclosed as an interest bearingliability. Payments of “rent” under the lease-back agreement have been treated as interest and principal repayments. Thebuilding will continue to be carried in accordance with the parent entity’s accounting policy for property, plant andequipment.

As at 31 December 2012, the maturity analysis of the borrowing costs and principal repayments was as follows:

27 Borrowings (continued)

(b) Loans from ANZ bank

Following the closure of UNSW Asia in 2007, its loan has been assigned to the parent entity and it was subsequentlyrenegotiated to be repaid on quarterly instalments over a notional term of 10 years until July 2018. The loan facility wasdue to mature in February 2012. In January 2012, the loan facility was extended to February 2015.

On 1 December 2008, an additional loan was secured from the ANZ bank to be repaid quarterly over a notional term of 10years until December 2018. The proceeds of these loans were used to repay the Economic Development Board,Singapore (EDB) loan and to pay an instalment due under the EDB grant. The loan facility was due to mature in November2012. The loan facility has been extended to mature in February 2015.

These loans bear an average interest rate of 4.93% (2011: 5.63%).

(c) Assets pledged as security

The Group and parent entity had no assets pledged as security in 2012 and 2011.

(d) Credit standby arrangements

The Group and the parent entity did not have any undrawn borrowing facilities at the balance sheet date.

(e) Fair value

The carrying amounts of borrowings at balance sheet date are approximate to their fair value.

(i) On-balance sheet

The fair value of current borrowings equals their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The fairvalues of the financing arrangement are based on cash flows discounted at 6% interest rate (2011: 6%).

(ii) Contingent liabilities

The parent entity and certain controlled entities have potential financial liabilities which may arise from certaincontingencies disclosed in note 33. As explained in this note, no material losses are anticipated in respect of any of thosecontingencies.

(f) Risk exposures

Information about the Group and the parent entity's exposure to risk arising from borrowings is provided in note 38.

38 Financial risk management

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk andcash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on theunpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of theGroup.

Financial risk management is governed by the UNSW Treasury Policy and managed by the UNSW Treasury andInvestment Services (UNSW Treasury). The UNSW Investment Policy is conformed to the UNSW Treasury Policy forfinancial risk management purposes.

The Policy specifically covers:

Foreign exchange risk

Interest rate risk

Credit risk

Liquidity risk

The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed at the reporting date. Thesemethods include potential loss for foreign exchange, sensitivity analyses in the case of price and interest rate risks;approved counterparty limits linked to credit ratings for financial institution credit risk; and ageing analysis for non financialinstitution credit risk.

UNSW Treasury Policy prohibits the Group engaging in any speculative trade in derivative instruments. Derivativeinstruments are entered into for the purposes of managing financial risk, such as foreign exchange risk. The financialinstruments used for foreign exchange risk management are spot and forward foreign exchange contracts.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange riskForeign exchange risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial commitment, recognised financial asset or financialliability will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency rates.

The Group and the parent entity operate internationally and are exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from committedtransactions such as research grants, expenditure to which the Group is bound or will imminently incur, and financialassets and financial liabilities which have been recognised in the accounts. The economic exposure to foreign exchangerisk is minimised by entering hedge transactions in the spot and forward foreign exchange markets. The major currenciesto which the Group is exposed include US Dollar (USD) and Singapore Dollar (SGD).

The group companies are required to fully hedge the foreign exchange risk exposure arising from foreign currencydenominated borrowings. Any exception to this requires approval by the Director of Finance.

The Group and the parent entity were exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to the repayment of the grant providedby the Economic Development Board (EDB) to UNSW Asia (grant denominated in Singapore Dollar). As at 31 December2012, the liability has been settled in full.

The sensitivity analysis below shows the effect on the post tax operating result as at balance sheet date had the Australiandollar weakened/strengthened by 2% against the Singapore dollar (2011: 2%) and by 3% against the US dollar (2011: 4%)at that date with all other variables held constant. The percentages used for assessing the sensitivity were selected asthey are considered reasonable given the current level of exchange rate volatility observed on an historical basis. Thechanges in the sensitivities from the prior period are a result of changes in the foreign currency market.

As at 31 December 2012, the Australian dollar exchange rate against the Singapore dollar was 1.2100 (2011: 1.2570).Had the Australian dollar weakened by 2% against the Singapore dollar to 1.1885 (2011: 1.2319 weakened by 2%), thepost tax operating result for the year of the Group and the parent entity would have been $11,035 higher (2011: $80,653and $77,698 higher respectively, based on a 2% change). Had the Australian dollar strengthened by 2% against theSingapore dollar to 1.2315 (2011: 1.2821 strengthened by 2%), the post tax operating result for the year of the Group andthe parent entity would have been $10,649 lower (2011: $75,602 and $72,763 lower respectively, based on a 2% change).This was mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of Singapore dollar denominated cash.

38 Financial risk management (continued)

As at 31 December 2012, the Australian dollar exchange rate against the US dollar was 0.9964 (2011: 0.9736). Had theAustralian dollar weakened by 3% against the US dollar to 0.9711 (2011: 0.9347 weakened by 4%), the post tax operatingresult for the year of the Group and the parent entity would have been $117,129 and $106,710 higher, respectively (2011:$290,322 and $288,738 higher respectively, based on a 4% change). Had the Australian dollar strengthened by 3%against the US dollar to 1.0217 (2011: 1.0125 strengthened by 4%), the post tax operating result of the Group and theparent entity would have been $111,184 and $101,282 lower, respectively (2011: $267,082 and $265,620 lowerrespectively, based on a 4% change). This was mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of USdollar denominated cash and forward foreign exchange contracts.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the parent entity's financial instruments that are exposed to foreign currency riskare primarily denominated in US dollars and Singapore dollars, as set out below:

(ii) Price riskPrice risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether those changesare caused by factors specific to the individual financial instruments or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financialinstruments traded in the market.

The Group and the parent entity are exposed to securities price risk arising from investments held by and classified on thestatement of financial position as available-for-sale. Neither the Group nor the parent entity is exposed to commodity pricerisk.

The Group maintains investment portfolios characterised as short term, long term, and University projects (investmentsintended to produce an income stream for the University (for example student housing) entered into as a business ventureon the advice of the Finance Committee). The investment portfolios are governed by the UNSW Investment Policy andmanaged by the UNSW Treasury and Investment Services (UNSW Treasury).The investment objective of the short termand long term investment portfolios is to maximise investment returns while maintaining the liquidity requirements of theUniversity, within an acceptable level of risk.

38 Financial risk management (continued)

UNSW Investment Policy sets out the acceptable risk parameters for the portfolios. Risk parameters for the short termportfolio include a maturity of no greater than two years for any investment, limiting the impact of any increase in interestrates, and approved counterparty limits linked to credit ratings. Risk parameters of the long term portfolios set by theUNSW Investment Policy include asset allocation and portfolio re-balancing requirements. Portfolio performance isreported to the Finance Committee.

The Investment Sub Committee of the Finance Committee meets quarterly to review the long term portfolio performance,fund manager selection, asset allocation, and other high level investment policy issues (for example the choice ofbenchmarks and objectives of the investment portfolios), and to make recommendations on any proposed changes to theUNSW Investment Policy.

The majority of the available for sale financial assets held by the Group and the parent entity are units in unlisted managedfunds invested in debt and publicly traded equity securities. If financial asset prices as at 31 December 2012 hadincreased/decreased by 2% with all other variable held constant, this would have increased/decreased the Group's andparent’s equity by $8,534,000 (2011: $7,387,000, based on a 2% change) and $8,338,000 (2011: $7,212,000, based on a2% change) respectively.

A sensitivity of 2% (2011: 2%) is based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, determined using theobserved range of actual historical price data for comparable indices over the past year. The changes in the sensitivityfrom year to year are a result of changes in the market taking into account the composition of the Group's portfolios.

(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate riskInterest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument willfluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

The Group and the parent entity are exposed to interest rate risk predominantly from holding cash and cash equivalents,and interest bearing borrowings. Financial instruments issued at variable rates give exposure to cash flow interest raterisk. Financial instruments issued at fixed rates and carried at fair value expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.The Group is currently not exposed to fair value interest rate risk.

UNSW Treasury prepares an annual interest budget and manages interest rate risk against this budget, after prioritisingsecurity of investments and liquidity needs. In the event that a net debt balance exists, Group Treasury will develop aninterest rate hedging strategy in accordance with the UNSW Treasury Policy. During 2012 and 2011, the Group’sborrowings at variable rates were denominated in Australian Dollars.

A sensitivity of 125 basis points (2011: 50 basis points) was selected as this was considered reasonable given the currentlevel of both short term and long term Australian dollar interest rates. At 31 December 2012, if interest rates had changedby -/+ 125 basis points with all other variables held constant, post tax operating profit for the year for the Group and theparent entity would have been $661,000 lower/higher (2011: $354,000 lower/higher based on a change of 50 basis points)and $259,000 lower/higher (2011: $220,000 higher/lower based on a change of 50 basis points), respectively. This wasmainly as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents and lower/higher interest expense fromborrowings.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will cause a financial loss for the Group by not fulfilling its contractual obligations.

The Group and the parent entity are exposed to credit risk arising from its dealings with financial institutions for holdings ofcash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments, fixed interest investments and deposits, interest bearinginvestments classified as held to maturity and classified as available for sale. Non-financial institution credit risk arisesfrom credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

Credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with financial institutionsis managed by UNSW Treasury on a Group basis. The maximum permitted credit exposure to any financial institution isdetermined on that financial institution’s current external credit rating with Standard and Poor’s (S&P). If there is noindependent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, pastexperience and other factors.

The Group's practise is to spread the net credit exposure among major financial institutions which are rated the equivalentof A2 or above from S&P. The net exposure and the credit ratings of financial institution counterparties are continuouslymonitored and the aggregate value of transactions are spread among approved counterparties. The counterparties to thefinancial instruments are major international financial institutions.

The carrying amounts of financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position are disclosed in more detail innotes 15, 16 and 19.This amount best represents the consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at thereporting date. In respect to those financial assets and the credit risk embodied within them, the consolidated entity holdsno significant collateral as security and there are no other significant credit enhancements in respect of these assets. Thecredit quality of all financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired is in accordance with the Treasury Policy and isconsistently monitored in order to identify any potential adverse changes in the credit quality. There are no significantfinancial assets that have had renegotiated terms that would otherwise, without that renegotiation, have been past due orimpaired.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financialliabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

Prudent liquidity risk management includes the continuing availability of Commonwealth government funding, maintainingsufficient cash and marketable securities to meet short term needs, and the ability to close out market positions. Dailymonitoring of cash flow is carried out by UNSW Treasury to ensure there is adequate liquidity to meet the Group’sexpected obligations over the near term.

The Group and the parent entity held cash and cash equivalents of $73,306,000 and $41,177,000, respectively as at 31December 2012 (2011: $94,608,000 and $67,888,000 respectively), which include deposits at call of $13,932,000 and $332,000, respectively (2011: $58,225,000 and $39,625,000 respectively), that are expected to readily generate cashinflows for managing liquidity risk.

(d) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosurepurposes.

The Group and the parent entity adopts AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures which requires disclosure of fair valuemeasurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

(a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);(b) inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (asprices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and(c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and available-for-salelisted securities) are based on quoted market prices on the Australian Securities Exchange at the end of the reportingperiod, unless otherwise stated. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bidprice. These instruments are included in level 1.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives)are determined using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are basedon market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Quoted market exit prices declared by fund managersare used to estimate fair value for unlisted unit trusts.

Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financialinstruments. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the end ofthe reporting period. These instruments are included in level 2 and comprise derivative financial instruments. In thecircumstances where a valuation technique for these instruments is based on significant unobservable inputs, suchinstruments are included in level 3.

The carrying value less any impairment provision of short term financial assets, current receivables and payables areassumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosurepurposes are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is availableto the Group for similar financial instruments.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position are categorised into the following levels:

39 Defined benefit plans

All employees of the Group are entitled to benefits from the Group's superannuation plan on retirement, disability or death.The Group's superannuation plan has defined benefits sections and defined contribution sections. The defined benefitsections provide lump sum benefits based on years of service and final average salary.

The following sets out details in respect of the parent entity only.

(a) Fund specific disclosure

The Pooled Fund holds in trust the investments of the closed NSW public sector superannuation schemes:

- State Authorities Superannuation Scheme (SASS)- State Authorities Non-Contributory Superannuation Scheme (SANCS)- State Superannuation Scheme (SSS)

The above schemes are all defined benefit schemes or at least a component of the final benefit is derived from a multipleof member salary and years of membership. All schemes are closed to new members.

The Professorial Superannuation Fund (PSF) is a combination of accumulation and defined benefits. This scheme isclosed to new members.

The parent entity expects to make contributions of $8,832,000 (2011: $9,236,000) to the above defined benefit plansduring the next financial year.

The principal assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows (expressed as weightedaverages):

2012%

2011%

State schemes (SSS, SANCS, SASS) Discount rate(s) (gross of tax) 3.30 3.70Discount rate(s) (net of tax) 3.30 3.70Expected return on plan assets 8.60 8.60Expected rate(s) of salary increase 2.50 2.50Expected rate of CPI increase 2.50 2.50

Professorial Superannuation FundDiscount rate(s) (gross of tax) 3.20 3.60Discount rate(s) (net of tax) 3.20 3.10Expected return on plan assets 3.20 5.50Expected rate(s) of salary increase 4.00 4.00Expected rate of CPI increase 2.75 2.75

For State schemes, the expected return on assets assumption is determined by weighting the expected long-term returnfor each asset class by the target allocation of assets to each class. The returns used for each class are net of investmenttax and investment fees.

For the Professorial Superannuation Fund, the expected rate of return was based on the asset allocation provided as at 31December 2012 and the appropriate risk margin for each asset class in which the defined benefit monies are invested.

The analysis of the plan assets and expected rate of return at the balance sheets date is as follows:2012

1$1,049,219,000 (2011: $960,312,000) of the net liabilities for superannuation funds will be settled by the Commonwealth Government.

This is based on the net liabilities of the State Authorities Superannuation Scheme of $18,903,000 (2011:$18,163,000) and the net

liabilities of the State Superannuation Scheme of $1,120,799,000 (2011: $1,015,455,000) less the net liabilities of the superannuation

funds of University College ADFA totalling $80,983,000 (2011: $73,306,000) and net of a provision of $9,500,000 representing a transfer

of reserves from SSS to SANCS during the year ended 31 December 2012, refer to note16.

The amount of $25,535,000 contributed by the Commonwealth Government in 2004 for University College ADFA is managed as part of

the pool of general investments of the Group. These funds are included as part of available-for-sale financial assets disclosed in the

statement of financial position, refer to note 19.

If a net surplus exists in a Fund, the Group may be able to take advantage of it in the form of a reduction in the requiredcontribution rate, depending on the advice of the Fund's actuary.

Where a net deficiency exists, the Group is responsible for any difference between the employer's share of fund assetsand the defined benefit obligation, except for SASS and SSS (as described above) where the difference will be ultimatelyborne by the Commonwealth Government.

Basedon the investigation, the DBD was found to be in an "unsatisfactory financial position" as defined by SIS Regulation 9.04.An "unsatisfactory financial position" for a defined benefit fund is defined as when “the value of the assets of the Fund isinadequate to cover the value of the liabilities of the Fund in respect of benefits vested in the members of the Fund”. Russell Employee Benefits (the Fund Actuary) and UniSuper have followed the procedure required by Section 130 of theSIS Act when funds were found to be in an unsatisfactory financial position.

The actuary currently believes, in respect of the long-term financial condition of the Fund, that assets as at 30 June 2012,together with current contribution rates, are not expected to be sufficient to provide for the current benefit levels for bothexisting members and anticipated new members if experience follows either the "best estimate" assumptions, or the moreconservative "funding assumptions".

The process set out in Clause 34 of the Trust Deed has been initiated following the 30 June 2012 actuarial investigation.The Trustee had notified employers and members of this in accordance with the requirement of Clause 34.

Clause 34 of the Trust Deed provides a mechanism for reducing benefits if after initially finding UniSuper may beinsufficient to provide benefits, and after a period of at least four years during which two further actuarial investigations arecompleted, the Trustee still considers that UniSuper continues to be insufficient to provide the current benefits.

The Group is not liable to fund any shortfall if the balance of the UniSuper fund is in deficit. The Trustee will continue tomonitor the DBD’s financial position on at least a quarterly basis.

As at 30 June 2012, the deficit of total assets over vested benefits of UniSuper were estimated to be $2,010,800,000(2011: deficit $906,500,000). Vested benefits are benefits which are not conditional upon continued membership (or anyfactor other than leaving the service of the participating institution) and include the value of indexed pensions beingprovided by the DBD.

As at 30 June 2012, the assets of the DBD in aggregate were estimated to be $906,800,000 in deficiency of accruedbenefits (2011: $426,700,000 in excess of accrued benefits). Accrued benefits have been calculated as the present valueof expected future benefits payments to members and indexed pensioners which arise from membership of UniSuper up tothe reporting date.

The vested benefit and accrued benefit liabilities were determined by the Fund Actuary, using the actuarial demographicassumptions outlined in their report dated 15 November 2012. The financial assumptions used were:

Vested benefits Accrued benefits% %

Gross of tax investment return 5.85 7.50Net of tax investment return 5.25 6.70Consumer Price Index 2.75 2.75Inflationary salary increases short-term (1 year) 5.00 5.00Inflationary salary increases long-term 3.75 3.75

Assets have been included at their net market value, i.e. allowing for realisation costs.

Other superannuation schemes

The Group also contributes to the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme. This superannuation scheme is fully funded.The Commonwealth Government has ultimate funding risk when members retire.
