PRESIDING MEMBErAND Chief Executive REPORTThe Honourable Gail Gago, MLCMinister for GovernmentEnterprisesParliament House,Adelaide <strong>SA</strong> 5000We are pleased to submit the <strong>Lotteries</strong>Commission of South Australia’s annualreport for the year ended 30 June 2009in accordance with section 18B of theState <strong>Lotteries</strong> Act 1966, as amended.<strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>’ financial performance in2008-09 has again generated benefits forthe community of South Australia.Record sales of $393.7 million wereachieved. These sales earned commission of$29.3 million for the Statewide distributionnetwork of agents.Prizes of $271 million were won by playersof our games. Of particular note is the prizeof $53.3 million that was won by a luckySouth Australian who shared the Division Oneprize in the Oz Lotto draw on 30 June 2009.Two of the largest jackpots in Australianlottery industry history occurred during theyear creating an unprecedented level ofplayer interest. These jackpots underscorethe value of our prize-pooling arrangementsvia national ‘Blocs’ for the majority of ourgames. Without those arrangements,<strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> would not be in a position tooffer to South Australians the opportunityto participate in such high jackpots.We appreciate the co-operative nature ofour partners within the Australian Blocs.The return to the State’s Hospitals Fund andthe Recreation and Sport Fund was$95.1 million. The Hospitals Fund receivedgambling tax, an income tax equivalent,dividend and unclaimed prizes of$94.9 million for the provision, maintenanceand development of public hospitals and theRecreation and Sport Fund received$256 000 for the support and developmentof local recreational and sporting facilitiesand services.<strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> and the agent networkremain vigilant in the responsible promotionand conduct of games; in particular, acommitment to the State <strong>Lotteries</strong>Responsible Gambling Code of Practice andthe State <strong>Lotteries</strong> Advertising Code ofPractice. During the year, the IndependentGambling Authority introduced amendmentsto the Codes of Practice. The significantamendment was the inclusion of rotatingexpanded warning messages on advertisingfor <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>’ games.An effective Statewide agency distributionnetwork is integral to <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>’ futureand it is important that the online lotteriessystem, including agency terminals, and thecommunications network between agenciesand the central computer system located inHead Office are state of the art. To this end,the key project over the past year andthe next year will be the implementation ofthe replacement system throughoutSouth Australia.On behalf of the Commission, weacknowledge the extraordinary effort by allour people to ensure a successful andseamless implementation of the new systeminto the agency network. This effort is inaddition to striving once again to haveanother successful year in 2009-10 whichwill benefit every member of the agencynetwork, our players and the community ofSouth Australia.Hans J OhffPresiding MemberJune RoacheChief Executive28 September 2009DREAMS LIVE HERE7

The GST on NGR is treated as a cost of sales.Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:• when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods or services is not recoverable from the ATO, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the costof acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item applicable; and• receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financingactivities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is classified as part of operating cash flows.Unrecognised contractual commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO. If GST isnot payable to, or recoverable from, the ATO, the commitments and contingencies are disclosed on a gross basis.(g) IncomeIncome is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the flow of economic benefits to <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> will occur and can be reliably measured. Incomehas been aggregated according to its nature and has not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific accounting standard, or w<strong>here</strong> offsettingreflects the substance of the transaction or other event.Note 29 discloses income w<strong>here</strong> the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the <strong>SA</strong> Government as at the reporting date, classified accordingto their nature.The following are specific recognition criteria:Revenues are measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable.

For these games, sales revenue as at 30 June for draws or competitions subsequent to that date is treated assales in advance. Sales revenue for Instant Scratchies is recognised daily.Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the financial asset.Revenues from services, fees and charges are derived from the provision of goods and services predominantly to agents. This revenue is recognisedupon de<strong>live</strong>ry of the goods or services to the recipients.(h) ExpensesExpenses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the flow of economic benefits from <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> will occur and can be reliably measured.Expenses have been aggregated according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific accounting standard, orw<strong>here</strong> offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.Note 29 discloses expenses w<strong>here</strong> the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the <strong>SA</strong> Government as at the reporting date, classifiedaccording to their nature.The following are specific recognition criteria:Employee Benefits ExpensesEmployee benefits expenses include all costs related to employment, including salaries and leave entitlements.

These items are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which they are incurred.Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current AssetsAll non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful <strong>live</strong>s in a manner that reflects theconsumption of their service potential. Amortisation is used in relation to leasehold improvements and intangible assets (software), while depreciation isapplied to tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment.Assets’ residual values, useful <strong>live</strong>s and depreciation/amortisation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, on an annual basis.Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted forprospectively by changing the time period or method, which is a change in accounting estimate.<strong>SA</strong> LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09


The value of leasehold improvements is amortised over the estimated useful life of each improvement, or the unexpired period of the relevant lease,whichever is shorter.Land is not depreciated.Depreciation/amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the following classes of assets as follows:Class of AssetsBuildingsPlant and EquipmentOnline <strong>Lotteries</strong> SystemLeasehold ImprovementsIntangibles (software)Estimated Useful Life20 years3 - 10 years2 - 5 years10 years3 yearsBorrowing CostsAll borrowing costs are recognised as an expense.(i) Current and Non-Current ClassificationAssets and liabilities are characterised as either current or non-current in nature. <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> has a clearly identifiable operating cycle of twelve months.Assets and liabilities that are sold, consumed or realised as part of the normal operating cycle, even when they are not expected to be realised withintwelve months after the reporting date, have been classified as current assets or current liabilities. All other assets and liabilities are classified asnon-current.(j) AssetsAssets have been classified according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific accounting standard, or w<strong>here</strong>offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.Note 29 discloses financial assets w<strong>here</strong> the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the <strong>SA</strong> Government as at the reporting date, classifiedaccording to their nature.Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Cash Flows includes cash on hand, deposits held at call andother short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily converted to cash, and are used in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis.Short term deposits are held with the South Australian Government Financing Authority (<strong>SA</strong>FA) in At Call Deposit and Cash Management Fundaccounts. Interest is earned at a minimum of <strong>SA</strong>FA’s overnight at call deposit rate. The deposits principally reflect funds available for unclaimed prizesand for distribution to the Hospitals Fund and the Recreation and Sport Fund.Cash is measured at nominal value.ReceivablesReceivables include amounts receivable from agents and other parties, prize settlements receivable from Blocs, and prepayments. Receivables (otherthan prepayments) arise in the normal course of selling goods and services to agents and other parties and through prize settlement arrangements withother Bloc members.Agent Debtors and Sundry ReceivablesAgent debtors and sundry receivables are generally receivable within 7 days and 14 days respectively and are carried at amounts due.Collectability of agent debtors and sundry receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off whenidentified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when t<strong>here</strong> is objective evidence that <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> will not be able to collect the debt.Prize Settlements Receivable from BlocsSaturday Lotto, Monday/Wednesday Lotto, Oz Lotto, Powerball, Super 66 and The Pools are games supported by inter-jurisdictional prize poolingarrangements.

LOTTERIES COMMISSION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIAANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSYEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2009Non-Current Asset Acquisition and RecognitionNon-current assets are initially recorded at cost, plus any incidental cost involved with the acquisition. Non-current assets are subsequently measured atfair value less accumulated depreciation/amortisation.All non-current assets with a value of $2 000 or more are capitalised.Componentisation of the online lotteries system (a complex asset) has been performed as the asset’s fair value at the time of acquisition was greaterthan $1 million.Revaluation of Non-Current AssetsAll non-current tangible assets are valued at fair value. Revaluation of non-current assets or groups of assets is only performed when their fair value isgreater than $1 million and estimated useful life is greater than three years.<strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> obtains an independent valuation of such assets at least every five years. However, if at any time management considers that the carryingamount of an asset materially differs from its fair value then the asset will be revalued regardless of when the last valuation took place. Non-currenttangible assets that are acquired between revaluations are held at cost until the next valuation, w<strong>here</strong> they are revalued to fair value.<strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> has taken the exemption available under Accounting Policy Framework III Asset Accounting Framework paragraph APS 3.8 to take assetrevaluation adjustments to the asset revaluation reserve on a class basis rather than an individual asset basis.ImpairmentAll non-current tangible and intangible assets are tested for indication of impairment at each reporting date. If t<strong>here</strong> was an indication of impairment, t<strong>here</strong>coverable amount would be estimated. An amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount would be recorded as animpairment loss. For revalued assets, an impairment loss would be offset against the asset revaluation reserve.Intangible AssetsAn intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Intangible assets are measured at cost. Following initialrecognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.The useful <strong>live</strong>s of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> only has intangible assets with finite <strong>live</strong>s.(k) LiabilitiesLiabilities have been classified according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific accounting standard, orw<strong>here</strong> offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.Note 29 discloses financial liabilities w<strong>here</strong> the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the <strong>SA</strong> Government as at the reporting date, classifiedaccording to their nature.PayablesPayables include creditors, accrued expenses, prizes payable, undistributed funds (owing to <strong>SA</strong> Government), and employment on-costs.Creditors and Accrued ExpensesCreditors represent the amounts owing for goods and services received prior to the end of the reporting period that are unpaid at the end of t<strong>here</strong>porting period. Creditors include all unpaid invoices received relating to the normal operations of <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>.Accrued expenses represent goods and services provided by other parties during the period that are unpaid at the end of the reporting period and w<strong>here</strong>an invoice has not been received.All payables are measured at their nominal amount and are normally settled within 30 days from the date of the invoice or date the invoice is firstreceived.Prizes PayablePrizes payable represent amounts due to be paid to customers for prizes won in South Australia and settlements due to lottery operators in other Statesparticipating in inter-jurisdictional prize pooling arrangements. State lottery operators have formed Blocs to conduct the games of Saturday Lotto,Monday/Wednesday Lotto, Oz Lotto, Powerball, Super 66 and The Pools.Amounts payable for prizes won in South Australia are generally available for settlement the day following the draw, or in the case of Instant Scratchiesand minor Keno prizes, on the date of sale or draw. Division 1 and 2 prizes for Lotto type games are normally settled 14 days after the date of draw inaccordance with the <strong>Lotteries</strong> Rules. Amounts payable to Blocs represent monies due to other lottery operators for prizes won in interstate jurisdictions.Settlement of amounts payable to Bloc members are normally due 14 days after the date of the draw.Employment On-CostsEmployment on-costs include superannuation contributions, payroll tax and workers compensation with respect to outstanding liabilities for salaries, longservice leave and annual leave. Employment on-costs are settled when the respective employee benefit that they relate to is discharged.<strong>SA</strong> LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09


Employee BenefitsThese benefits accrue for employees as a result of services provided up to the reporting date and remain unpaid. Long-term employee benefits aremeasured at present value and short-term employee benefits payable are measured at nominal amounts.Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick LeaveThe liability for salaries is measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at remuneration rates current at the reporting date.The annual leave liability is expected to be payable within twelve months and is measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid. No salariesor annual leave are expected to be payable later than twelve months.No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees is estimated tobe less than the annual entitlement of sick leave.Long Service LeaveThe liability for long service leave is recognised after an employee has completed 6½ years of service. An actuarial assessment of long service leaveundertaken by the Department of Treasury and Finance based on a significant sample of employees throughout the South Australian public sectordetermined that the liability measured using the short hand method was not materially different from the liability measured using the present value ofexpected future payments. This calculation is consistent with <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>’ experience of employee retention and leave taken.The portion of the long service leave liability classified as current represents the amount that may be expected to be paid as leave taken or paid ontermination of employment during <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>’ normal operating cycle.Unclaimed Prizes ReserveOther than a prize in a Special Appeal Lottery (note 2(l)), any prize in a lottery that has not been collected or taken de<strong>live</strong>ry of within 12 months of thedate of the draw or relevant day is forfeited to <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> and transferred to the Unclaimed Prizes Reserve. Subsection 16C(4) of the State <strong>Lotteries</strong>Act 1966 requires <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> to pay:••50 per cent of the amount derived from unclaimed prizes in The Pools (and other sports lotteries or special lotteries) to the Recreation and SportFund; and50 per cent of the amount derived from unclaimed prizes in other lotteries to the Hospitals Fund.The balance in the Reserve is applied by <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> from time to time for the purposes of providing additional or increased prizes in a subsequentlottery or lotteries, providing prizes in promotional lotteries or making ex-gratia payments.T h e State <strong>Lotteries</strong> Act 1966 provides for an ex-gratia payment to a person who satisfies <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> that they are a winner of a prize in a lotteryconducted by <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>, despite the fact that a prize has been forfeited to <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong>, the winning ticket has been lost or destroyed or a notice of aclaim for the prize has not been complied with.Ex-gratia payments are charged to the Unclaimed Prizes Reserve. The next payment to either the Hospitals Fund or Recreation and Sport Fund, asappropriate, is then reduced by an amount equivalent to 50 per cent of the ex-gratia payment, depending on the game played.Distribution of Funds to GovernmentIn accordance with Subsection 16(3) of the State <strong>Lotteries</strong> Act 1966, <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> is required to pay to the Hospitals Fund the balance of surplus fundsremaining after:•••••payment of gambling tax and GST on NGR;making allowances for operating and capital expenses;applying the net proceeds and gambling tax of The Pools to the Recreation and Sport Fund;in respect of Special Appeal <strong>Lotteries</strong> (note 2(l)), applying the net proceeds and unclaimed prizes less the GST on NGR to the beneficiary(s) of thoselotteries; andretaining funds for certain designated purposes.As detailed in note 2(f), <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> is required to make tax equivalent payments as a result of the application of the tax equivalent regime. Inrecognition of the provisions of the State <strong>Lotteries</strong> Act 1966, and in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 22 Tax Equivalent Payments, the transfer offunds to the Hospitals Fund is reflected in the financial statements in the form of:(i) a gambling tax of 41 per cent on NGR in respect of all lotteries conducted by <strong>SA</strong> <strong>Lotteries</strong> except sports lotteries and special lotteries;(ii) an income tax equivalent payment (calculated on the accounting profits method), recorded as an expense item in the Statement of ComprehensiveIncome;(iii) a dividend, represented by net profit after income tax equivalent payment and increased/decreased by funds retained for certain designatedpurposes; and(iv) unclaimed prizes.The composition of all amounts due and payable to Government on account of the Hospitals Fund and Recreation and Sport Fund is detailed in note 26.DREAMS LIVE HERE 67
