Expansion of BREEDPAN data In the context of discussions concerning performance data, the Board also agreed that Droughtmaster BREEDPLAN data will include data from the Repronomics and BIN steer project. To date, the Repronomics Project has generated more than 5,800 calves representing more than 320 sires from 119 different stud prefixes. Of these, close to 2500 are Droughtmaster by around 130 sires. The female animals have female fertility measurements as well as carcase, temperament, structure and many other important traits as well as a DNA profile. The BIN Project is a collaboration project between the Droughtmaster Stud Breeders’ Society Limited, Australian Brahman Breeders Association and a consortium of Santa Gertrudis breeders. This project purchases the steer portion of the Repronomics project cattle and follows them through to slaughter, collecting important data including Carcase scanning measurements for p8, Rib fat, EMA and IMF, along with weights and structural soundness measurements prior to slaughter. All steers are MSA graded in the abattoir and a meat sample sent to the meat science lab in Armidale for IMF, tenderness and meat colour measurements. This meat science data is the first data collected for the breed that will be included in the BREEDPLAN analysis.

Breed White Paper As many would remember, earlier this year, the Board and General Manager requested that Tropical Beef Technology Services (TBTS) develop a White Paper for distribution to members discussing DNA testing, genetic technologies, genetic conditions and relevant project work involving Droughtmasters. This White Paper has been distributed to members and is available on the website outlining: • Background information about DNA testing and its current application within the beef industry, 4

• Straightforward definitions of terms commonly used in the genomics era e.g. reference population, single-step, • A description of the many benefits of collecting performance information (phenotypes) and testing to understand the genetic makeup of an animal (genotyping), and • An outline of key research projects involving and benefiting the Droughtmaster breed (Repronomics, Northern BIN). Beyond the period reported in this Annual Report, there has been a continued focus on growing and promoting the Droughtmaster breed, improving member engagement, encouraging participation of younger generations and identifying growth opportunities. I would like to express both mine and the Board’s appreciation for the efforts and achievements of the General Manager and office staff over the last year. Many of the Society’s activities would not be possible without your patience, planning and astute, professional advice. Finally, it is hopefully apparent to members that the period disclosed in this Annual Report covers the start of a period of renewed positive vigour for the breed. In this vein, I would like to once again thank the many naturally positive and enthusiastic members who have continued to contribute to Society Committees, initiatives across the country and for your ongoing part in promoting the breed, its qualities and its future. As always, members are encouraged to contact their Zone or National Directors should there be anything they wish to raise with the Board.

In all our work to date, we have kept that focus in mind along with our ambition to be recognised nationally throughout the entire supply chain (paddock to plate) as a breed that was developed in Australia to suit the Australian environment for its resilience and exceptional meat quality. I would therefore like to update you on the progress against the strategic plan since it was implemented for the financial year just past. We have been required to rebuild some of our foundations so that we can deliver tangible outcomes for the membership which are outlined on the next page.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(cont.)

Droughtmaster Stud Breeders’ Society Limited For the year ended 31 March 2020

Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are nonderivative financial assets that do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets or which have been designated in this category. The company’s available-for-sale financial assets include listed securities. All available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in value recognised in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from financial instruments classified as available-for-sale are only recognised in profit or loss when they are sold or when the investment is impaired. In the case of impairment or sale, any gain or loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to the profit or loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are

Where this indicator exists the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Where assets do not operate independently of other assets, the recoverable amount of the relevant cash-generating unit (CGU) is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cashgenerating unit. Where the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models.

Employee Benefits Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits expected to be settled more than one year after the end of the reporting period have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to employee wage increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of cashflows. Changes in the measurement of the liability are recognised in profit or loss. Employee benefits are presented as current

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options which vest immediately are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Provisions Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short term investments which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Revenue and Other Income Revenue is recognised when the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and specific criteria relating to the type of revenue as noted below has been satisfied. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
