NATIONAL BLOOD AUTHORITY
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 30 June 2013

NOTE 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1.1 Objectives of the National Blood Authority

The National Blood Authority (NBA) is an Australian Government statutory authority which was established on 1 July 2003 with the principal role of managing national blood arrangements, ensuring sufficient supply and providing a new focus on the quality and appropriateness of blood products. It is a not-for-profit entity.

The NBA is structured to meet one outcome:

Outcome 1: Access to a secure supply of safe and affordable blood products, including through national supply arrangements and coordination of best practice standards within agreed funding policies under the national blood arrangements.

The continued existence of the NBA in its present form, and with its present programs, is dependent on Government policy, the enabling legislation National Blood Authority Act 2003, and on continuing funding by Parliament and contributions from States and Territories for the NBA’s administration and programs.

NBA activities contributing to this outcome are classified as either departmental or administered. Departmental activities involve the use of assets, liabilities, income and expenses controlled or incurred by the NBA in its own right. Administered activities involve the management or oversight by the NBA, on behalf of the Government, of items controlled or incurred by the Government.

The NBA conducts the following administered activities on behalf of the Government: management and coordination of Australia’s blood supply in accordance with the National Blood Agreement agreed by the Australian Government and the governments of the states and territories. Under this agreement, the Australian Government contributes 63 per cent of blood supply funding and state and territory governments provide 37 per cent.

The NBA operates under a special account – the National Blood Account. Revenues and expenses associated with the funding and supply of blood and blood products, as well as the operations of the NBA are recorded in this special account.

The NBA also operates a special account – the National Managed Fund (Blood and Blood Products) Special Account which is intended to meet potential blood and blood products liability claims against the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

Details of planned activities for the year can be found in the Agency Portfolio Budget Statements for 2012-13 which have been tabled in Parliament.

1.2 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements and are required by Section 49 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:

• Finance Minister’s Orders (FMOs) for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2011; and
• Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position.

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise specified.

Unless an alternative treatment is specifically required by an accounting standard or the FMOs, assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the NBA or a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. However, assets and liabilities arising under executory contracts are not recognised unless required by an accounting standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the schedule of commitments or the schedule of contingencies.

Unless alternative treatment is specifically required by an accounting standard, income and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefits has occurred and can be reliably measured.

1.3 Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, the NBA has made no judgements that have a significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

1.4 New Australian Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Australian Accounting Standard Requirements
No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard.

No new standards, revised standards, interpretations or amending standards that were issued prior to the sign-off date and are applicable to the current reporting period have a financial impact, nor are they expected to have a future financial impact on the NBA.

Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements
The following new standards and revised standards were issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board prior to the sign-off date, and are expected to have a financial impact on the NBA for future reporting periods:

• AASB 13 - Fair Value Measurement
• AASB 1055 - Budgetary Reporting
• AASB 9 - Financial Instruments

Other new standards, revised standards, interpretations or amending standards that were issued prior to the sign off date and are applicable to the future reporting period are not expected to have a future financial impact on the NBA.

1.5 Revenue

Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date. The revenue is recognised when:

1. the amount of revenue, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and
2. the probable economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the NBA.

Funding from State and Territory governments is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date. The revenue is recognised when:

1. the amount of revenue, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and
2. the probable economic benefits with the transaction will flow to the NBA.

The stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date is determined by reference to services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed.

Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any impairment allowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at end of reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

Revenue from Government

Amounts appropriated for departmental appropriations for the year (adjusted for any formal additions and reductions) are recognised as Revenue from Government when the NBA gains control of the appropriation, except for certain amounts that relate to activities that are reciprocal in nature, in which case, revenue is recognised only when it has been earned. Appropriations receivable are recognised at their nominal amounts.

1.6 Gains

Resources Received Free of Charge
Resources received free of charge are recognised as gains when and only when a fair value can be reliably determined and the services would have been purchased if they had not been donated. Use of those resources is recognised as an expense.

Resources received free of charge are recorded as either revenue or gains depending on their nature.

Contributions of assets at no cost of acquisition or for nominal consideration are recognised as gains at their fair value when the asset qualifies for recognition, unless received from another Government entity as a consequence of a restructuring of administrative arrangements.

Sale of Assets
Gains from the disposal of assets are recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

1.7 Transactions with the Government as Owner

Equity Injections
Amounts appropriated which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year (less any formal reductions) and Departmental Capital Budgets (DCBs) are recognised directly in contributed equity in that year.

1.8 Employee Benefits

Liabilities for ‘short term employee benefits’ (as defined in AASB 119 Employee Benefits) and termination benefits due within twelve months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts.

The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability.

Other long-term employee benefits are measured as net total of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period minus the fair value at the end of the reporting period of plan assets (if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.

Leave

The liability for employee entitlements includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. 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 of the NBA is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement for sick leave.

The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration at the estimated salary rates that will be applied at the time the leave is taken, including the NBA’s employer superannuation contribution rates to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination.

The liability for long service leave has been determined by reference to FMO 43.2 using the shorthand method. The estimate of the present value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation.

Superannuation
The NBA’s staff are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), the PSS Accumulation Plan (PSSap), the Australian Government Employee Superannuation Trust (AGEST) or other non-government superannuation funds.

The CSS and PSS are defined benefit schemes for the Australian Government. The PSSap, AGEST and the non-government superannuation funds are defined contribution schemes.

The liability for defined benefits is recognised in the financial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. This liability is reported in the Department of Finance and Deregulation’s administered schedules and notes.

The NBA makes employer contributions to the employees’ superannuation scheme at rates determined by an actuary to be sufficient to meet the current cost to the Government. The NBA accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defined contribution plans.

The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions as at 30 June 2013.

1.9 Leases

A distinction is made between finance leases and operating leases. Finance leases effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of leased assets. An operating lease is a lease that is not a finance lease. In operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Where an asset is acquired by means of a finance lease, the asset is capitalised at either the fair value of the lease property or, if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the contract and a liability is recognised at the same time and for the same amount.

The discount rate used is the interest rate implicit in the lease. Leased assets are amortised over the period of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component and the interest expense.

Operating lease payments are expensed on a straight line basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.

1.10 Cash

Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. Cash and cash equivalents includes:

1. cash on hand;
2. demand deposits in bank accounts with an original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value;
3. cash held by outsiders; and
4. cash in special accounts.

1.11 Financial Assets

The NBA classifies its financial assets in the following categories:

1. held-to-maturity investments; and
2. loans and receivables.

The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised and derecognised upon trade date.

Effective Interest Method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis.

Held-to-Maturity Investments

Non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the NBA has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments. Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis.

Loans and Receivables

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.

Impairment of Financial Assets

Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each balance date.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost - if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred for loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments held at amortised cost, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced by way of an allowance account. The loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

1.12 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’.

Other Financial Liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. These liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Supplier and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced).

1.13 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote.

There are no quantifiable contingencies in either the current or immediately preceding reporting periods. Information on significant remote contingencies and contingencies that cannot be quantified is disclosed in Note 10: Contingent Assets and Liabilities.

1.14 Acquisition of Assets

Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate.

Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and income at their fair value at the date of acquisition, unless acquired as a consequence of restructuring of administrative arrangements. In the latter case, assets are initially recognised as contributions by owners at the amounts at which they were recognised in the transferor’s accounts immediately prior to the restructuring.

1.15 Property, Plant and Equipment

Asset Recognition Threshold
Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the balance sheet, except for purchases costing less than the thresholds listed below for each class of asset, which are expensed in the year of acquisition acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total).

Asset class	Recognition Threshold
Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment	$2,000
Purchased Software	$5,000
Leasehold improvements	$10,000
Internally Developed Software	$50,000

The initial cost of an asset includes an estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. This is particularly relevant to ‘make good’ provisions in property leases taken up by the NBA where there exists an obligation to restore the property to its original condition. These costs are included in the value of the NBA’s leasehold improvements with a corresponding provision for the ‘make good’ recognised.

Revaluations
Fair values for each class of asset are determined as shown below.

Asset class	Fair value measured at
Leasehold improvements	Depreciated replacement cost
Infrastructure, plant & equipment	Market selling price

Following initial recognition at cost, property, plant and equipment are carried at fair value less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations are conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amounts of assets do not differ materially from the assets’ fair values as at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depends upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets.

Revaluation adjustments are made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment is credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reverses a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the surplus/deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly in the surplus/deficit except to the extent that they reverse a previous revaluation increment for that class.

Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount.

Depreciation
Depreciable property, plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to the NBA using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation.

Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate.

Depreciation rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives:

Asset class	2013	2012
Infrastructure, Plant and Equipment	3 to 7 years	3 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements	Lease term	Lease term

Impairment

All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2013. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if the NBA were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost.

Derecognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

1.16 Intangibles

The NBA’s intangibles comprise internally developed software and purchased software for internal use. These assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its anticipated useful life. The useful lives of the NBA’s software are:

Type	2013	2012
Purchased software	3 years	3 years
Internally developed software	5 years	5 years

All software assets were assessed for indications of impairment at 30 June 2013.

1.17 Taxation

The NBA is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Revenues, expenses, liabilities and assets are recognised net of GST except:

1. where the amount of the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and
2. for receivables and payables.

1.18 Impact of Williams v Commonwealth

The Australian Government continues to have regard to developments in case law, including the High Court’s most recent decision on Commonwealth expenditure in Williams v Commonwealth (2012) 288 ALR 410, as they contribute to the larger body of law relevant to the development of Commonwealth programs. In accordance with its general practice, the Government will continue to monitor and assess risk and decide on any appropriate actions to respond to risks of expenditure not being consistent with constitutional or other legal requirements.

1.19 Reporting of Administered Activities

Administered revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows are disclosed in the administered schedules and related notes.

Except where otherwise stated below, administered items are accounted for on the same basis and using the same policies as for departmental items, including the application of Australian Accounting Standards.

Administered Cash Transfers to and from the Official Public Account
Revenue collected by the NBA for use by the Government rather than the NBA is administered revenue. Collections are transferred to the Official Public Account (OPA) maintained by the Department of Finance and Deregulation. Conversely, cash is drawn from the OPA to make payments under Parliamentary appropriation on behalf of Government. These transfers to and from the OPA are adjustments to the administered cash held by the NBA on behalf of the Government and reported as such in the schedule of administered cash flows and in the administered reconciliation schedule.

Revenue
All administered revenues are revenues relating to the course of ordinary activities performed by the NBA on behalf of the Australian Government. As such, administered appropriations are not revenues of the individual agency that oversees distribution or expenditure of the funds as directed. Collectability of debts is reviewed at end of the reporting period. Impairment allowances are made when collectability of the debt is judged to be less, rather than more, likely.

Loans and Receivables
Where loans and receivables are not subject to concessional treatments, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses due to impairment, derecognition and amortisation are recognised through profit and loss.

Inventories

Inventories held for distribution are valued at cost, adjusted for any loss of service potential. Costs incurred in bringing each item of inventory to its present location and condition are assigned as follows:

1. raw materials and stores – purchase cost on a first-in-first-out basis; and
2. finished goods and work-in-progress – cost of direct materials and labour plus attributable costs that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Inventories acquired at no cost or nominal consideration are initially measured at current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

Indemnities
The maximum amounts payable under the indemnities given is disclosed in Note 21 the schedule of administered items – contingencies. At the time of completion of the financial statements, there was no reason to believe that the indemnities would be called upon, and no recognition of any liability was therefore required.

Grants
The NBA administers a number of grant schemes on behalf of government.

Grant liabilities are recognised to the extent that (i) the services required to be performed by the grantee have been performed of (ii) the grant eligibility criteria have been satisfied, but payments due have not been made. A commitment is recorded when the Government enters into an agreement to make these grants but services have not been performed or criteria satisfied.

National Managed Fund
The National Managed Fund was established to manage the liability risks of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service in relation to the provision of blood and blood products. The National Managed Fund was reported in 2003-04 by the Department of Health and Ageing under “Services for Other Governments and Non- Departmental Bodies Special Account”. The NBA now manages this fund on behalf of the Australian Government and States and Territories. To facilitate the transfer of the fund to the NBA a special account under Section 20 of the Financial Management and Accountability (FMA) Act 1997 was established, and this fund was transferred to the NBA for reporting.

The Fund came into effect on 1 July 2000 and to date, no claims have been made against it. The balance of the fund as at 30 June 2013 is $106,541,621 (30 June 2012: $93,981,870) made up of a combination of cash, investments and balance of the special account.

Note 13B: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets
The fair values of all monetary financial assets approximate their carrying amounts.

Financial liabilities
The fair values of all monetary financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. All financial liabilities are current, therefore a maturity analysis is not required.

Note 13C: Credit Risk

The NBA's financial liabilities are trade and other creditors. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that the NBA will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This is highly unlikely due to appropriation funding and mechanisms available to the NBA (e.g. Advance to the Finance Minister) and internal policies and procedures put in place to ensure there are appropriate resources to meet its financial obligations.
The maturity for non-derivative financial liabilities of $588,889 is within 1 year (2012: $572,396 within 1 year).

Note 13E: Market Risk

The NBA holds basic financial instruments that do not expose it to certain market risks. The NBA is not exposed to 'interest rate risk', 'currency risk' or 'other price risk'.

Unquantifiable Administered Contingencies
Under certain conditions the Australian Government and the States/Territories jointly provide indemnity for the the Australian Red Cross Blood Service (the Blood Service) through a cost sharing arrangement for claims, both current and potential, regarding personal injury and loss of damage suffered by a recipient of certain blood products. The Australian Government’s share of any liability is limited to sixty three percent of any agreed net cost.

The Deed of Agreement between the Australian Red Cross Society (the Red Cross) and the NBA in relation to the operation of the Blood Service includes certain indemnities and a limit of liability in favour of the Red Cross. These cover a defined set of potential business, product and employee risks and liabilities arising from the operations of the Blood Service. The indemnities and limitation of liability only operate in the event of the expiryand non-renewal, or the earlier termination, of the Deed of Agreement, and only within a defined scope. They are also subject to appropriate limitations and conditions including in relation to mitigation, contributory fault, and the process of handling relevant claims.

In the event of the occurrence of the contingent liability disclosed in the Schedule of Administered Contingencies, the Commonwealth, or its nominee, would be assigned ownership of the Melbourne Processing Centre building.

Financial liabilities

The fair values of all monetary financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts.

Note 23D: Credit Risk

The NBA is exposed to minimal credit risk as loans and receivables are cash and trade receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets in the Balance Sheet. The NBA has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk.

The credit quality of financial instruments individually determined as impaired is $3,037,236 (2012: $3,037,236). Refer to Note 17B.

Factors that have been used in assessing the asset to be impaired include the age and recoverability of the debt.

NOTE 28: Compliance with Statutory Conditions for Payments from the Consolidated Revenue Fund

Section 83 of the Constitution provides that no amount may be paid out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund except under an appropriation made by law. The Department of Finance and Deregulation provided information to all agencies in prior years regarding the need for risk assessments in relation to compliance with statutory conditions on payments from special appropriations, including special accounts.

In the prior year, the NBA developed a plan to review exposure to risks of not complying with statutory conditions on payments from appropriations. The plan involved:

• identifying each special account;
• determining the risk of non-compliance by assessing the difficulty of administering the statutory conditions and
• determining procedures to confirm risk assessments in medium risk cases and to quantify the extent of noncompliance, if any, in higher risk situations;
• obtaining legal advice as appropriate to resolve questions of potential non-compliance; and
• considering legislative or procedural changes to reduce the risk of non-compliance in the future to an acceptably low level.

The NBA identified 2 appropriations involving statutory conditions for payment, comprising:

• 2 special accounts

As at 30 June 2012, this work was completed in respect of all appropriations with statutory conditions for payment.

The work conducted identified no issues of compliance with Section 83.

During 2012/13 additional legal advice was received that indicated there could be breaches of Section 83 under certain circumstances with payments for long service leave, goods and services tax and payments under determinations of the Remuneration Tribunal. The NBA will review its processes and controls over payments for these items in 2013/14 to minimise the possibility for future breaches as a result of these payments.
