s we reflect on the past financial year, we are proud to report that the Club has made significant strides in strengthening its financial position. A key highlight has been our continued success in reducing debt levels, a reflection of our financial management and commitment to long-term sustainability.
These efforts have not only improved our balance sheet but have also enhanced our capacity to invest in the Club’s future. Whether through facility upgrades, community initiatives, or member services, we are now better positioned to deliver value to our members. The Club enters the new financial year with confidence, stability, and a clear strategic vision, ensuring we remain resilient and well-prepared for the opportunities ahead.
We confirm that the operating profit for FY24/25 was $8,218,785. This was a great result under the circumstances and gave the Club an EBITDA for the year of $21,362,780 STRENGTHENING
As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of our industry, the Board of Directors remains focused on futureproofing Revesby Workers’ Club and ensuring we remain a leader in community engagement, innovation, and sustainability.
To support this goal, the Board held a dedicated Strategy Day in late 2024, allowing us to reflect, plan, and strengthen our long-term vision for the Club.
As a key outcome of that session, we are pleased to announce the formation of two new Board Sub-Committees, each designed to advance strategic priorities and drive positive outcomes across our organisation:
• ESG, Risk and Community Committee
• Business and Building Committee
Each sub-committee includes representation from both the Board of Directors and the Management Team, ensuring a
collaborative, well-rounded approach to decision-making and execution. These committees will focus on critical areas such as environmental and social governance, community impact, risk management, business operations, and future development opportunities.
As we move forward, let's take a moment to reaffirm the Board’s unwavering commitment to the strategic direction and vision we have set for Revesby Workers’ Club. Together with our management team and staff, we are confident in our path forward, one that is built on integrity, innovation, and a deep commitment to our members and the broader community.
We look forward to keeping you informed as these initiatives progress and thank you for your continued support.
The Club has remained dedicated to its purpose as a community proud organisation – ensuring that every success is channelled back into initiatives that directly support and uplift our members and the broader community. The Club recognises that as the needs of the community continue to grow, the Club’s community commitment must also evolve. This means providing not only financial support, but also programs, partnerships, and opportunities that create meaningful impact in the lives of children, families, seniors, and vulnerable members of our community. This year, the Club can report a total community investment exceeding $2 million ($2,224,639) – the largest community contribution in our history over a 12-month period. This milestone reflects
not only the Club’s deep commitment to the community but also our vision for the future.
The past year has been defined by achievements that honour our legacy while building a stronger future, with a focus on providing support that extends beyond monetary contributions. Revesby Workers’ Club has taken a firm stance against domestic and family violence, implementing a dedicated Domestic, Family & Sexual Violence Action Plan to ensure a safe and supportive workplace while strengthening its ability to serve the community. This commitment is visible through initiatives such as Purple Fridays, a clubwide campaign where staff wear purple each week to stand in solidarity with survivors. Club staff have actively provided hands-on assistance, assembling escape bags for domestic violence victims and assembling essential furniture in emergency accommodation for women and children escaping violence—demonstrating tangible, practical support that directly impacts those in need.
The Club’s ongoing impact was recognised with the ClubsNSW Heart of the Community Award, highlighting the strength of our support for Biyani House and the broader community connections created through the Club’s partnership with the shelter.
Our strong financial performance ensures we remain wellpositioned to support our sub-clubs, invest in education through school subsidies and scholarships, and contribute meaningfully to charitable sponsorships, fundraising events, and local community projects. These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to giving back to our members and the broader community.
For more than six decades, Revesby Workers’ Club has evolved alongside the needs of our members and local communities, always guided by a strong commitment to community service. In 2025, the Board took a significant step forward by extending this impact beyond the local area with the introduction of RWCommunity - AMPLIFIED.
This flexible funding initiative commits an additional 10% of the Club’s annual profits to initiatives that align with our values and promote social wellbeing both within and beyond our existing commitments. This new funding stream will allow us to deliver even greater impact where it is needed most.

studies. The first eight scholarships—six secondary and two tertiaries—were awarded based on academic achievement, laying the foundation for a program that has since supported 691 students with over $280,000 in scholarships in the past decade across fields from law and medicine to engineering and the arts.
As education evolved, the Club expanded its support to two key programs: Tertiary Scholarships, which include technical colleges and universities, and direct support for local schools, providing funding to enhance resources, programs. Today, 28 schools benefit from the School Subsidy Program, while the Tertiary Scholarship Program continues to support HSC graduates. In 2025, the Club contributed $87,000 to schools and awarded $53,500 in scholarships.
These programs give students the support they need to thrive and pursue their ambitions without financial limits.
generosity of the community, the event raised an incredible $48,000 to assist Flynn and his family as they travel to the USA for Proton Beam Therapy — a treatment not yet available in Australia that offers him the best chance of recovery with the least invasive approach.
Flynn’s journey has been marked by remarkable bravery and resilience. Despite enduring multiple surgeries, extensive rounds of chemotherapy, and long hospital stays, his progress has inspired everyone around him. The success of this event reflects not only the courage of Flynn and his family but also the extraordinary generosity of the local community.
As Flynn, his parents Luke and Claudia, and little sister Frankie head to the USA in September, they do so with the strength of a community behind them. The Club is humbled to have played a small part in this journey, reinforcing our belief that when our members and their families are in need, our community stands together.
In August 2025, Revesby Workers’ Club was proud to stand alongside long-time members, the Pfoeffer family, during one of the most difficult times in their lives. When Sue Pfoeffer sought support for their young grandson Flynn, who was diagnosed at just 19 months old with a rare and aggressive brain tumour, the Club and the wider community rallied to help.
With the support of local businesses, the community, and countless family and friends, the ‘Being Brave with Flynn’ Trivia Night was hosted at Revesby Workers’ Club. The Club waived venue costs and provided funding and prizes to maximise fundraising efforts. Thanks to the collective

Revesby Workers’ Club contribution
Disaster Relief Australia
$25,580 supporting recovery operations + Taree Aquatic Club
$50,000 assisting rebuilding costs
In May 2025, extreme flooding devastated communities across the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions of New South Wales. The Manning River reached levels never seen in Taree, inundating hundreds of homes and businesses. Among the hardest hit was the Taree Aquatic Club —known as ‘Sailo’s’ — which sustained severe structural damage and faced an uncertain future.
Recognising the urgency of helping flood-affected communities recover, the NSW club industry quickly mobilised a state-wide response. Together, registered clubs across the state raised close to $385,000, funding the cleanup efforts of Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) and providing direct support to the Sailo’s, enabling the club to reopen its doors just two months after the disaster.
As part of this initiative, Revesby Workers’ Club proudly contributed $75,000, comprising:
• $25,000 to Disaster Relief Australia to support volunteerled recovery operations; and
• $50,000 directly to Taree Aquatic Club, to assist with urgent rebuilding costs.
Reflecting on the impact, Taree Sailo’s Secretary Manager, Peter Hemingway, shared:
When the floods came through, the inside of our Club was completely gutted and initially we held grave fears that our doors would never reopen. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to be insured for flood cover given our location, so to have clubs

across New South Wales step in and get us back on our feet is really heartening — and on behalf of the community, we say thank you.
The collective support from clubs also highlights their critical role in times of crisis. During the peak of the flood emergency, 12 of the 15 official evacuation centres were located within clubs, with staff and volunteers going above and beyond to care for displaced residents — from sourcing vital medication to assisting with the transport of vulnerable patients.
ClubsNSW CEO, Rebecca Riant, praised the industry’s response:
“Clubs are the heart of their communities, and when disaster strikes, they always step up. The donations from clubs reflect our industry’s deep commitment to not only helping communities rebuild after devastation but to rebound stronger than ever. It’s in the toughest of times that our clubs truly shine.”
For Revesby Workers’ Club, this contribution reflects the Club’s commitment, not only for our own community, but also reaching beyond our local area to stand with others in their time of greatest need.
Over $350,000 in funding
With a strong tradition of community support, the Club continually evolves to serve members and the broader community. This legacy was built on the vision of founding leaders such as Brien Higgs—a foundation member who served as both Secretary Manager and Club President. Higgs was an early advocate for welfare support, writing:
In a working-class area there will always be incidences of hardship occurring caused by sickness, death or unemployment… the formation of a club was deemed to be the answer.
In line with this vision, the Board has reaffirmed its commitment to community support through the introduction of: RWCommunity – AMPLIFIED.

AMPLIFIED, developed as part of the Club’s emerging Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework, directing an additional 10% of annual profits back into the community. The program provides a significant new funding stream with broader flexibility, enabling the Club to respond to areas of greatest need.
Already, AMPLIFIED has delivered over $350,000 in funding, creating meaningful impact across a wide range of community programs and initiatives, including:
• Critical infrastructure support, such as funding roof repairs for the Lugano Girl Guides hall, ensuring a safe and welcoming space for future generations of young women.
• Essential services, including ongoing assistance for Georges River Life Care, which delivers food relief, counselling, and family support to some of the community’s most vulnerable members.
• Grassroots sports support, financial assistance to Brooklyn Soccer club to ensure the club can continue to operate and support the local community.
• Disaster relief, to support those impacted by the mid NSW coast floods.
Revesby Workers’ Club proudly supports 27 affiliated subclubs, investing over $120,000 in 2025 to strengthen both sporting and community groups across the region. This investment reflects the Club’s commitment to nurturing local talent, providing opportunities for all ages, and encouraging participation in sport and community activities.

The principal activities of the Club during the course of the financial year comprised of the operations and promotion of a licensed club for Club members and applying the income of the Club towards supporting community, philanthropic, sporting activities as well as the maintenance and enhancement of the Club's facilities. These activities assist the Club in meeting its main financial objective by creating a viable, healthy and profitable environment that allows for reinvestment into income producing assets.
There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the company during the year.
The Club’s short-term and long-term objective is to ensure its viability and growth in the current and future economical and environmental climate it faces so that it can maintain its support of the community.
The strategic plan is underpinned by a detailed review of the Club's Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats ("SWOT"). In response to the SWOT analysis, four primary objectives are set that enable the Club to optimise strengths and possible opportunities whilst addressing identified weaknesses and minimising potential threats. The objectives provide a five year view towards progressive growth of the business aimed at optimising the existing Club's assets, capturing new products and services and working towards sustainable diversification. The corresponding strategies provide the specific direction required to achieve these objectives.
The strategic plan is to monitor performance in all key areas and determine if any corrective action has to be taken to rectify negative trends. By examining the Club's strength, weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT), it is able to implement measures to optimise strength and opportunities while addressing weaknesses and threats
Financial performance is measured by:
• Comparison of actual results against budget;
• Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) in various areas including wage costs and gross profit margins;
• Monitoring cashflows; and
• Calculating and comparing EBITDA performance.
On 3rd of February 2025, the Club acquired the assets and liabilities of a new subsidiary for the total consideration transferred of $1,575,000. This is a hospitality business that operates within the restaurant industry. During the year a newly incorporated entity was also brought into the group, being RWC Hospitality Pty Ltd which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Revesby Workers’ Club Ltd. As a result, the club now operates as a group rather than a single entity.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year.
There are no matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the company, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the company in future financial years.

This declaration is in respect of Revesby Workers’ Club Ltd and the entities it controlled during the period.
Clayton Eveleigh Director
BDO Audit Pty Ltd
Sydney, 12 September 2025.
To the members of Revesby Workers’ Club Ltd
We have audited the financial report of Revesby Workers Club Ltd (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in members’ funds and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial report, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of Revesby Workers’ Club Ltd, is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
(i) Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and
(ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures and the Corporations Regulations 2001
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor’s report is information included in the directors’ report, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
a) the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards – Simplified Disclosures and the Corporations Act 2001 and
b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
i) the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) payable to the taxation authority. Transfer of goods or services of the same nature and value without any cash consideration are not recognised as revenues.
For the year ended 30 June 2025
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comprises of revenue earned from the provision of food, beverage and other goods and is recognised (net of rebates, returns, discounts and other allowances) at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied, that is, on delivery of goods to the customer.
Rendering of Services
Revenue from rendering services comprises revenue from gaming facilities together with other services to members and other patrons of the club and is recognised at a point in time when the services are provided.
Rental income from investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental income is recognised as income in the periods in which it is earned. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.
Other Income
Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment
The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the net proceeds on disposal (including incidental costs) and is recognised as other income at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer.
Interest Revenue
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.
Profit before income tax includes the following specific expenses:
For the year ended 30 June 2025
2. EXPENSES (continued)

For the year ended 30 June 2025
The major components of income tax expense for the years ended June 2025 and 2024 are:
Current income tax expense
Income tax expense reported in the statement of profit or loss - -
Reconciliation of tax expense and the accounting profit multiplied by Australia’s domestic tax rate for 2025 and 2024:
The Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997 (amended) provides that under the concept of mutuality clubs are only liable for income tax on income derived from non-members and from outside entities.
Club's statutory income tax rate of 30% (2024: 30%)
Aggregate income tax expense/(benefit) - -
Recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities
Deferred tax at 30 June relates to the following:
(i) Deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax charge
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted. Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
The Club's accounting policy for taxation requires management's judgement as to the types of arrangements considered to be a tax on income in contrast to an operating cost. Judgement is also required in assessing whether deferred tax assets and certain deferred tax liabilities are recognised on the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from temporary differences and tax losses are recognised only where it is considered more likely than not that they will be recovered, which is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable profits.
Assumptions about the generation of future taxable profits depend on management's estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future business expectations, operating costs capital expenditure and other capital management transactions. Judgements are also required about the application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities recognised on the statement of financial position and the amount of other tax losses and temporary differences not yet recognised. In such circumstances, some or all of the carrying amounts of recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities may require adjustment, resulting in a corresponding credit or charge to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
For the year ended 30 June 2025
Mutuality Principle
The company calculates its income in accordance with the mutuality principle which excludes from income, any amounts of subscriptions and contributions from members, and payments received from members for particular services provided by the club or association, eg. poker machines, bar and dining room service in the case of social clubs. The Commissioner of Taxation accepts this method of calculating income as appropriate for recognised clubs and associations.
Amendments to the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 ensure social clubs continue not to be taxed on receipts from contributions and payments received from members.
Reconciliation of Cash
Cash as at the end of the financial year as shown in the Statement of Cash Flows is reconciled to the related items in the Statement of Financial Position as follows:
Recognition and Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the year ended 30 June 2025
Recognition and Measurement
Trade and other receivables represent the principal amounts due at balance date plus accrued interest and less, where applicable, any unearned income and impairment allowance. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.
In accordance with AASB 9 an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model is used to recognise an impairment allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. The expected credit loss estimated by management using the simplified approach is $Nil (2023: $Nil).

Land and buildings and investment properties were independently valued by Jeff Millar, AAPI Certified Practising Valuer and Registered Valuer No. 67391 (NSW) of Howden Insurance Brokers (Australia) Pty Ltd on the basis of open market value at 30 June 2025. The valuations for land, buildings and site improvements were a total of $282,850,000. Since the valuation, no significant capital works and improvements have been undertaken. As land and buildings are recorded on a historical cost basis, the valuation has not been brought to account.
(c) Core and non-core land
With reference to section 41J of the Registered Clubs Act as amended by the Registered Clubs Amendment Act 2006, the properties owned or occupied by the Revesby Workers' Club Ltd, as at 30 June 2025 are as follows:

The above properties are owned by the Revesby Workers' Club Ltd and have been purchased by the Club as non-core properties and not for the licensed premises of the Club.
Core properties:
• 2B Brett Street, Revesby (Revesby Workers' Club licensed premises and car park)
• 60 McGirr St, Padstow (Revesby Greens licensed premises)
The above properties are owned or occupied by the Club and are the defined (licensed) premises of the Club.
All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated using the straight line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset Useful lives
Land Not depreciated
Buildings
Plant and equipment
Over 40 years
Over 1 to 30 years
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
At each reporting date, the Club reviews its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Operating lease commitments – Club as lessor
The Club has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Club has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, such as the lease term not constituting a substantial portion of the economic life of the commercial property, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and accounts for the contracts as operating leases.

(a) Valuation of investment properties
Land and buildings and investment properties were independently valued by Jeff Millar, AAPI Certified Practising Valuer and Registered Valuer No. 67391 (NSW) of Howden Insurance Brokers (Australia) Pty Ltd on the basis of open market value at 30 June 2025. The valuations for land, buildings and site improvements were a total of $282,850,000. Since the valuation, no significant capital works and improvements have been undertaken. As land and buildings are recorded on a historical cost basis, the valuation has not been brought to account.
Recognition and Measurement
Investment properties are measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The estimated useful life is 5 to 40 years. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from their disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period of derecognition. Transfers are made to (or from) investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is valued at cost at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Club accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.
Key
At each reporting date, the Club reviews its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Recognition and Measurement
(i) Licences to occupy holiday cabins
Per the "Deeds of Licence" between Revesby Workers' Club Ltd and The Federation of Community, Sporting and Workers Club Inc, the licences are refundable in full upon their termination. The Deeds are for an indefinite period and only the Club has the option to terminate the agreements between the two parties. Accordingly, the licences are carried at cost and the Club is of the view no amortisation is necessary, however, an impairment analysis is carried out at year end.
(ii) Gaming machine license
Gaming machine licences are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and have been determined to have indefinite useful lives. Gaming machine licences are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less ay accumulated impairment losses. The club tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount has been measured based on value-in-use, using a discounted cash flow model. The key assumptions or the value-in-use calculation include discount rates, terminal growth rates and cash flow projections.
Key Estimate and Judgement: Recoverability of
Impairment of poker machine entitlements is recognised based on a value in use calculations and is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash inflows available to the company from the use of these licenses. In determining the present value of the cash inflows, growth rates and appropriate discount factors have been considered.
Management believes that reasonable changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of gaming division’s poker machine entitlements is based would not cause the cash-generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

The right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities are related to a property lease acquired as part of the acquisition, detailed in Note 13. The remaining lease term for the lease is approximately 10 years.
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the profit or loss over the period of borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as non-current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are secured over the rights to the hire purchase assets recognised in the statement of financial position which will revert to the lessor if the company defaults.
For the year ended 30 June 2025
Leases (continued)
Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.
Non - Current
Wages and Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables with respect to employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for nonaccumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable.
The provision for employee benefits relating to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees’ services provided to reporting date.
The provision is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on turnover history and is discounted using the market yields on national government bonds at reporting date which most closely match the terms of maturity with the expected timing of cash flows. The unwinding of the discount is treated as long service leave expense.
Contributions
The company is under a legal obligation to contribute 11.5% of each employee’s base salary to a superannuation fund.
