The Minister responsible is the Honourable Malcolm Turnbull, Minister for Communications.

During 2013-14 there was one other responsible Minister, the Honourable Anthony Albanese, Minister for Broadband, Communication and the Digital Economy (1 July to 18 September 2013).

Dear Minister

On behalf of the Board we have pleasure in presenting the Annual Report of the Special Broadcasting Service Corporation (SBS) for the year ending 30 June 2014, a period in which SBS continued to experience change in the consumption patterns of audiences and growing multicultural complexities within Australian society, against the backdrop of signifi cant international events which heightened our role in contributing to social cohesion through news and current affairs programming.

This Annual Report was approved by a resolution of directors of the Corporation on 22 August 2014, and has been prepared in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 and the Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991 (SBS Act). It also assesses the Corporation’s performance against the goals of the new SBS Strategic Plan 2013-16.

In 2013-14, SBS brought Australians distinctive programs such as the documentary series Once Upon a Time in Punchbowl, which explored the history of the Lebanese community in Australia and how it overcame the odds to fi nd its place in our multicultural society, and SBS’s fi rst drama in four years, Better Man, which attracted broad industry acclaim. These programs exemplify the essence of the SBS Charter and speak to our multicultural society in a way no other broadcaster does. SBS also secured international drama series such as Borgen, The Killing, Fargo, Vikings and The Walking Dead, demonstrating our talents in tapping into international television trends and making those programs available to local audiences.

SBS delivered the biggest and most multi-platform coverage of a World Cup in our organisation’s history, with an integrated sports and entertainment offering across radio, television and online which sought to engage and connect all Australians with the World Cup of a lifetime. SBS’s television coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup reached 10.8 million Australians1, and there were 13.8 million video streams viewed online.2 Commercial teams achieved World Cup revenues in a tough advertising market and maximised return on investment for SBS.

We were incredibly proud to secure the performance of Jessica Mauboy at the 59th Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen after a year’s negotiations with the European Broadcasting Union and Danish Radio (DR), which culminated in the fi rst ever appearance of an Australian solo artist at Eurovision. Jessica’s performance was watched by 180 million people globally and was invaluable in showcasing Australia and the talent of our Indigenous artists to the world. This event was an execution of the SBS Charter at its best.

SBS 2 and in particular news program The Feed, continued to go from strength to strength, with a steady increase in the number of younger viewers confi rming a strategic

decision to shift the focus of our second digital channel. The Feed earned recognition for its contributions to news and current affairs, with one of its producers winning the Young Australian Journalist of the Year Award at the 2014 Walkley Awards. SBS 2 broadcast the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, bringing it back to free to air television for the fi rst time in 12 years, secured the rights for the world’s biggest short fi lm festival Tropfest, and as home to the A-League which although faced audience challenges, continued to help grow the game in Australia.

NITV reached over two million Australians each month and in the past year has focused on commissioning a pipeline of content which speaks to its audiences, with football and children’s programming drawing industry acclaim and growing audiences. NITV news and current affairs program, Awaken, continued to carve out a voice in the mainstream media, demonstrating the channel’s unique ability to use its insights and links to Indigenous communities to impact the national conversation, and on a budget far below its fi rst nations’ broadcaster counterparts across the world.

Having implemented the fi rst new Radio Schedule in 18 years in April last year, in 2013-14 SBS Radio reviewed its program content, using audience insights and research to ensure programs delivered even more relevant content across all platforms, maximising its impact in aiding Language Other than English (LOTE) speakers to become participative members of the Australian community. SBS’s radio news coverage provided vital in-language

information on national issues and events, such as the 2013 Federal Election and continued to collaborate with other content areas on major commissioned projects, such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, adding depth and insights that enhanced the experience of Australia’s diverse communities.

SBS continued to cement its reputation as an industry leader in the delivery of digital services, becoming the fi rst Australian broadcaster to introduce a suite of fully responsive websites across sbs.com.au, fi lm and food websites. A focus on bringing Australian audiences distinctive content, informed by our Charter, on new media platforms delivered interactive media projects such as Exit Syria: Diaries from Za’atari, The Other 9/11, JFK: The Smoking Gun and Cronulla Riots: The Day That Shocked the Nation, which attracted industry acclaim and awards. While SBS is well-placed to leverage investment in digital content, funding of online services without compromising other core parts of the SBS offering remains a key challenge in a tight budgetary environment.

A continued focus on improving workplace culture has resulted in a signifi cant lift in measured employee morale and engagement, translating into improved performance outcomes for the organisation. Additional measures were implemented to build on SBS’s already high-performance focus, whilst the organisation participated in various government review processes, including the National Commission of Audit and ABC and SBS Effi ciency Study. These reviews were the latest opportunity for SBS to showcase to the government and its stakeholders our lean and agile operating systems and innovative culture which have evolved out of our history of being an underfunded organisation.

SBS is an effi cient, responsive and innovative media organisation which has strategically addressed the challenges and opportunities of a converged media market by playing to its strengths in the digital space with content which engages a broader cross-section of the Australian community. Our employees are highly skilled at delivering more with less, but maintaining a meaningful contribution to the Australian community with services that refl ect the

SBS Charter will be more challenging given the funding uncertainty facing SBS in 2014-15 and beyond.

In March 2014, SBS chair Joseph Skrzynski AO stepped down, having served fi ve years on the SBS Board of Directors. Joe initiated a strategic review of SBS resulting in a revitalised expression of the SBS Charter which led

to a period of transformation of the organisation in an environment of signifi cant changes in our society and in broadcast media. Elleni Bereded-Samuel also concluded a fi ve year term on the Board of Directors, contributing meaningfully towards steering the organisation in that time.

During Joe’s chairmanship, there was a major review of the SBS Radio Schedule to refl ect Australia’s changing migration patterns, extending to 74 the weekly radio in-language programs, the launch of NITV as Australia’s fi rst national free-to-air Indigenous television channel, incorporation of subscription channels World Movies and STUDIO and the relaunch of SBS 2 to bring younger Australians to SBS.

Over the past 40 years SBS has helped millions of migrants embrace their new Australian identity, and this challenge is more complex now than ever, with signifi cantly more of Australia’s migration coming from countries of non-English speaking backgrounds and of people of different faiths.

Now, more than ever, Australia must intensify its efforts to maintain our internationally envied record of success as a socially cohesive multicultural society and our position as the country of choice for skilled migrants. As such, now is the time at which SBS should be better utilised to reach multicultural communities to communicate important messages which can help prevent the fractured multiculturalism we are witnessing in some European nations.

National efforts to unify Australia’s diverse communities go directly to the reason SBS was established. Our unique capabilities in connecting multicultural communities to ensure that all Australians are, and feel included as part of our nation and importantly, understand their rights and responsibilities as Australian citizens mean we are the right tool to effectively shape our nation’s multicultural future and to drive the national discourse around what it means to be Australian today.

Yours Sincerely

Dr Bulent Hass Dellal OAM Michael Ebeid Acting Chairman Managing Director

This Annual Report reviews SBS’s performance against the SBS Strategic Plan 2013-16, and the Australian Government’s Portfolio Budget Statement and Portfolio Additional Estimates Statement for 2013-14.

SBS Purpose Our purpose is to inspire all Australians to explore, appreciate and celebrate our diverse world and by doing so, contribute to a cohesive society.

Digital platforms

New digital platforms present opportunities for SBS to deliver tailored content to our audiences and develop strong brand relationships with consumers

Challenging topics and content

Our unique position in the industry allows us to present compelling, distinctive and thought-provoking content for our audiences

In 2013-14 SBS ONE showcased the very best of SBS content - informing, educating and entertaining Australians with distinctive programs that are unique to SBS and refl ect its special Charter to explore and celebrate diversity.

With a range of commissioned and acquired shows that only SBS can deliver - from daring documentaries and dramas, to in-depth and award-winning news and current affairs, to the biggest sporting events bringing the nation together in celebration - SBS ONE pushed the boundaries of Australian television to provoke debate and inspire its audiences.

Ground-breaking documentaries like Once Upon a Time in Punchbowl and Australia’s Secret Heroes, informed by the SBS Charter, spoke to a diverse Australian audience and brought untold stories to life on screen. Communities deepened their understanding of national and international issues with expert news and current affairs coverage.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup - the biggest in the organisation’s history - was the centrepiece of sport on SBS ONE, alongside other standouts including the Tour de France. SBS food programming went from strength to strength as the network continued to develop a following in this genre, driven by its point of difference in exploring the cultures behind the cuisines.

SBS ONE cemented its reputation for international movies which refl ect the diversity of people and cultures across the world. Comedies such as Legally Brown and Logie award-winning Housos pushed the boundaries with a unique style of humour, while Eurovision offered viewers a true entertainment experience with social media integration on-screen.

In a competitive market the network’s reach remained level year-on-year and SBS ONE programs received industry recognition including several nominations at the 2014 TV Week Logie Awards.

For SBS ONE, Monday evenings experienced a year-on-year audience increase of 2.1 per cent after the addition of Mythbusters, Vikings and RocKwiz to the evening. Other evening ratings showed varying decline, but occurred in conjunction with a record year of growth for SBS on its digital platform, with a surge in online video views which grew from 5 million in June 2013 to over 17 million in June 2014.4

SBS News and Current Affairs reached an average of 5.5 million Australians each month. The highest reaching month of the year was June with a reach of 6.1 million viewers.1

One Newsroom The implementation of an integrated, cross-platform newsroom in May 2014 brought together SBS’s television, radio and online news teams.

With a centralised news desk and improvements in the commissioning and story development process, SBS has reduced duplication of resources on stories. This allows the newsroom to deliver a greater volume of higher quality, in-depth news and analysis, publishing across all platforms.

The One Newsroom model has also built stronger ties between SBS World News, Dateline, Insight, The Feed, NITV News and Living Black, with more opportunities to complement coverage and offer a range of perspectives.

World News - Television World News Australia was renamed SBS World News in February 2014, refl ecting audience recognition and perceptions of SBS’s news bulletins.

The early evening bulletin performed strongly in the face of signifi cant industry challenges, including the Australian Government retune and the expansion of Nine and Seven Network news bulletins to an hour.

Distinctive content with a multicultural perspective The quality and depth of international coverage remained paramount, with extensive reports which brought stories closer to home and highlighted the relevance for communities in Australia.

SBS World News retained its commitment to coverage of multicultural issues and events, producing more content for Australia’s diverse communities on education, small business, investment and the cost of living.

With increased collaboration with NITV News, SBS World News continued to report on issues relating to Indigenous Australians, exploring employment policy, the Indigenous vote in the Federal Election, and profi les on Indigenous candidates. SBS also took on three aspiring young journalists in 2014 under the SBS cadetship program, including one of Indigenous heritage.

An average of 2.5 million viewers tuned in per month to watch SBS World News Monday to Friday.1 SBS World News was among the biggest growth areas online with the 6:30pm bulletin generating 426,000 online video views per month.2

2013 Federal Election and Federal Politics Extensive coverage of the Federal Election was a core priority for SBS World News. Alongside standout interviews with party leaders Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd, news teams focused on issues in large multicultural communities, explored the views of non-English speaking voters and provided coverage of SBS Radio’s public forums. News teams brought a diversity of perspectives to audiences with ongoing and in-depth coverage of national issues including immigration policy, the carbon tax, education funding, and the Federal Budget.

Dateline Dateline lead media coverage of key international news events, attracting 1.2 million viewers each month.4 Key stories were the Cairo trail of Australian journalist Peter Greste, unrest at Manus Island, the effects of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and the violent uprising in Ukraine.

Research into perceptions of Dateline has been used to broaden viewership by targeting audience interest areas and covering more breaking news events. A new partnership between SBS and Qantas is bringing Dateline episodes to passengers on international and domestic fl ights.

The Feed The Feed developed substantially over the year and was recommissioned in 2014 with an extended half hour format.

The Feed was recognised with a 2013 Walkley nomination in the multimedia story telling category for Patrick Abboud’s report ‘Tagging the Taliban’, and reporter Joel Tozer received a 2014 Walkley Young Journalist of the Year Award for his reports ‘Inside Providence: The secretive Korean church led by a Convicted Rapist’; ‘Carmen’s Story: Living through the Pain of Abuse’; and ‘Cotton Wool Kid’.

The Feed also partnered with the Sydney Opera House’s Festival of Dangerous Ideas to collaborate on The Feed’s content for the festival, which raised awareness for both The Feed and SBS 2.

World News - Radio The Radio News team continued to support Audio and Language Content (ALC), providing news and feature stories for language groups. Radio output has benefi ted from the integrated workfl ows of the One Newsroom, with a wider variety of stories available for SBS’s radio language programs.

The team was recognised with a number of awards. The Enemy Within, a collaboration between Punjabi Language Program Executive Producer Manpreet Singh and NACA Radio’s Sacha Payne, won a Silver Radio Award at the New York Festival’s International Radio Program Awards.

World News - Online The News and Current Affairs (NACA) Online team produced multiplatform content for SBS’s news programs, and continued to build on its distinctive content offering, expanding its comment and analysis section which has been instrumental to online audience growth.

Key thought leaders, newsmakers and policy debaters regularly contribute feature pieces. A boosted focus on ‘digital fi rst’ storytelling with an emphasis on social media and infographics has allowed SBS to communicate stories clearly and effectively in new and engaging ways to keep pace with audience habits.

Between August 2013 and July 2014, social media delivered 25 percent of total news site sessions.3

Insight Insight celebrated its 10th year in a forum format, and with host Jenny Brockie at the helm, it again set the standard for discussion and debate on Australia’s key social, economic and political issues, reaching 1.6 million unique viewers per month.4

Jenny Brockie was recognised with a 2013 Walkley Award for All Media Interview for the ‘Young Mob’ special episode focusing on Indigenous teens in Alice Springs. Insight also received a 2013 UN Association of Australia Media Award for Promotion of Positive Images of the Older Person, for the episode ‘Good Old Sex.’

Insight continued to engage with its audience online, with Jenny Brockie and program guests live tweeting during broadcast. In June 2014, Insight had over 57,000 Facebook ‘likes’ and 48,000 Twitter followers, while Jenny Brockie had over 24,000 Twitter followers.5

Sport brought an exhilarating range and depth of sports coverage to audiences across the country, with the network continuing to grow its core pillars of football and cycling.

As the home of international football, the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was an extraordinary event that brought audiences together and challenged the network to deliver an outstanding multiplatform experience for viewers.

Cycling took centre stage in mid-2013 with the 100th edition of the Tour de France, while new additions to SBS, domestic A-League football and Australian Netball, solidifi ed their place with SBS.

2014 FIFA World Cup SBS has broadcast the FIFA World Cup since 1990, and in 2014 SBS brought Australians the best World Cup yet with a full suite of exclusive multiplatform coverage across television, radio, online, mobile, tablet and social media.

SBS aired and streamed all 64 matches live across its television, radio and online platforms, with highlights and match replays available through SBS ON DEMAND.

A-League The A-League continued to fi nd its home on SBS, averaging a combined metro and regional audience of 123,000 for the Friday night live matches2 and offering online, mobile and radio broadcasts. While this performance was below SBS’s expectations, the subscription television games also experienced decline. For SBS, the A-League Grand Final achieved an average audience of 360,000, making it the highest rated broadcast on SBS 2 since the channel relaunched.3 SBS is continuing to work with Football Federation Australia (FFA) to improve ratings for the next season, through a partnership to grow the game including shifting it to SBS ONE.

Football presenter and journalist, Lucy Zelic, joined the network as a key member of SBS’s A-League on-air team for weekly highlight show, Thursday FC, with Matt Okine and David Zdrilic. The program was a new offering for Australian audiences but did not attract a strong enough viewership and the network refocused resources on building on the Friday night A-League following.

A new magazine deal was secured between the The World Game and FourFourTwo magazine for a monthly co-branded edition, commencing with the A-League season in October 2013.

Other football SBS also broadcast live coverage of many other football competitions, including the FIFA Under-20 World Cup semi-fi nals and fi nal, the FIFA Confederations Cup Final, the UEFA Super Cup, the Football Association (FA) Cup Final, and the Under-17 Women’s World Cup semi-fi nals and fi nal.

SBS is a destination for food programming with a cultural difference.

In 2013-14 SBS built on its food reputation with a daily 30 minute food programming strip in the evenings and an emphasis on building Thursday food nights as unique culinary and cultural journeys.

Inspired by the SBS Charter, programs such as Peter Kuruvita’s Mexican Fiesta, Destination Flavour Japan hosted by Adam Liaw, and Luke Nguyen’s France explored culture through food and travel, winning broad industry acclaim.

As part of the Thursday night strategy, SBS optimised its return on investment for its food commissions by offering new audiences the opportunity to discover well established brands with the 7:30pm timeslot showing repeats of two of SBS’s most popular food brands, Italian Food Safari and Gourmet Farmer. These were complemented with re-runs of the acquired program Two Greedy Italians.

SBS’s food acquisitions strategy complemented the Australian commissioned offering and identifi ed overseas talent who fi t into the SBS line-up. Two strong stand-out successes for acquired food content were Heston’s Fantastical Feasts, with chef Heston Blumenthal familiar to SBS audiences, and brand new discovery Rachel Khoo with Little Paris Kitchen. Both identities have new programs coming into the SBS ONE schedule next year.

SBS Food SBS Food is also one of SBS’s most popular online destinations, with thousands of recipes, videos and exclusive online-only content from SBS food programs. The launch of a new, visually rich and responsive website now allows audiences to easily search and share recipes with friends. Food theme months on the site are integrating major programming events like the World Cup, Eurovision and Tour de France. The site also offers food columns, presenter profi les and interviews with top celebrity chefs.

Australian Documentary Season The SBS commissioning team delivered three one-off documentaries which were scheduled over three consecutive weeks in the Insight timeslot, a great match for these issues based titles, Change My Race, Surgery Ship, The Network.

Sunday December Line Up SBS ONE had great success on Sunday evenings with the ‘Lost World’ programming strand. The network took a similar approach to Food and created a second slot at 8:30pm of strong repeat programming from the strand to fl ow audiences into a second hour of viewing. This fi ve week season optimised stock usage delivering a strong return on the investment as well as setting up the slot for the Drama season which started 8:30pm Sundays from the fi rst week of the calendar year.

Wild Saturdays Saturday nights continued to be a focus for the network, and over summer there was strong audience performance, driven by the ‘Wild Season’ of blue chip nature documentaries which were promoted to the audience as such and delivered an audience upswing for the period.

Once Upon a Time in Punchbowl Following on from the national award-winning and critically acclaimed series Once Upon a Time in Cabramatta which aired in 2012, Once Upon A Time in Punchbowl premiered in June 2014, telling the untold story of how the Lebanese community overcame the odds and found its place in multicultural Australia. Punchbowl reached 1.5 million Australians1 across the four-part series, hearing from community leaders, police, families and individuals, as they tell the compelling and dramatic story of a proud and resilient community under intense pressure. The series was complemented by an interactive SBS Online documentary, Cronulla Riots - The Day that Shocked the Nation which earned industry acclaim, as well as a major exhibition The Heart of Punchbowl which captured the vibrancy of Lebanese Australians living in Punchbowl through portraits and conversation extracts put together by photographer Andrew Quilty and journalist Jackie Dent.

This was a great example of SBS commissioning a one-off landmark documentary and then curating a cohesive season across different program slots to build a strong viewing thread for the audience.

Persons of Interest Persons of Interest, a four-part societal documentary series, aired on SBS ONE in January 2014. Each week, a ‘person of interest’ was given their previously secret ASIO fi le and asked to respond to its contents, including theories, some true and some absurd. The series aired during the Tuesday night timeslot and attracted 1.2 million viewers across four weeks, with the fi rst episode achieving 330,000 combined metro and regional viewers.3

Australia’s Secret Heroes Australia’s Secret Heroes, a three-part documentary series, told the story of an elite group of Australian soldiers who took part in undercover operations in Asia during World War II. The series follows six of their descendants who recreate their forefathers training in explosives, camoufl age, killing and enduring torture. Combining archival footage, declassifi ed manuals and interviews, the series offered a deep and engaging refl ection on the war and its effects. The series aired in June 2014 on SBS ONE and attracted 1.1 million metro and regional viewers.

SBS continued its Multicultural Television Production Traineeship Scheme, providing short-term work placements for participants from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and Indigenous backgrounds to work on SBS commissioned productions. In 2013-14 trainees worked on Gourmet Farmer and Once Upon A Time In Punchbowl, as well as programs in production for 2014-15.

- Tony Iffl and, SBS Director of Television.

SBS operates World Movies and STUDIO on the subscription platform through Foxtel, with revenue generated invested back into developing Australian content for SBS.

STUDIO From ballet to street art, STUDIO showcases the best of the world’s creativity and culture, including performance, documentary and drama series in languages other than English.

STUDIO, Foxtel and external contributors including Screen Australia and Screen NSW invested over $3.5 million in more than 40 hours of world premiere content. One major project, funded by the Foxtel Production Fund, was the three part series Taking On The Chocolate Frog, which challenged ex-criminals to perform the award winning Australian play ‘The Chocolate Frog’, and followed the process from rehearsals to the fi nal performance in front of a live audience.

Partnerships STUDIO partnered with Screen Producers Australia (SPA) to present the Kickstart initiative, which worked in conjunction with the Ones to Watch mentor program, supporting early career producers. Selected participants were offered the exclusive opportunity to pitch a television series to STUDIO and receive an investment of $300,000. The competition not only gave STUDIO exposure with SPA’s network and the broader arts industry, but also engaged audiences and positioned the channel as a genuine supporter of new talent and original content.

STUDIO again partnered with creative network The Loop to present the Create STUDIO competition. This involved a nationwide call-out for creatives to pitch their ideas for new, innovative STUDIO channel idents. Four artists were mentored by the STUDIO team and their fi nal pieces of work were featured on the

channel for a year. In June 2014, this project earned STUDIO a prestigious Global Promax BDA Award for the most outstanding ‘General Image Campaign’.

STUDIO partnered with Vivid Sydney and as part of Vivid Ideas 2014, supported the Pozible event ‘Stand Up, Stand Out’, a one night only live pitching session that gave project creators the opportunity to bring their idea to life. STUDIO provided a $3,000 prize to the winner.

Through these and many other partnerships with leading arts organisations, STUDIO was able to access diverse and discerning audiences, encourage deeper engagement, and develop positive associations for the STUDIO channel brand.

SBS Brand Tracker SBS monitors performance of the SBS brand relative to the marketplace.

SBS Brand Tracker research is conducted twice a year to enable the organisation to gain a big picture view on media consumption, explore perceptions of the SBS network as a whole and of specifi c channels. SBS uses this research to better understand the appeal and engagement of different types of content to inform delivery of content across different platforms and to provide a competitive comparison of SBS relative to other networks.

Who Do We Think We Are? In search of ourselves: Understanding the Australian identity. Who Do We Think We Are? was a study commissioned by SBS in 2013 and conducted by Pollinate. It asked Australians from across the country key questions about how they believe the nation has changed in the past 20 years, what it means to be Australian today, and considers future implications for businesses and brands.

The study drew on data from a nationally representative sample of over 1000 across age, gender, location and language spoken at home to help decision makers position their brands to cater for a changing and increasingly diverse Australia, to ensure they stay relevant and maximise future opportunities in an increasingly diverse Australia.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup Market research company Sweeney was commissioned to conduct an online research project to assist SBS in development of the new The World Game website, providing insights into the content needs of existing users and strategies to acquire new users. The World Game website relaunched in May 2014, and won Website of the Year in the 2014 Football Fans Downunder Awards.

Audience feedback The SBS Audience Relations team coordinates audience feedback and provides the public with information about SBS programs and services.

SBS Audience Relations handled on average 185 calls per day, 80 email communications per day, 15 letters per week, and responded to social media enquires (including ongoing monitoring of social media pages).

While enquiries vary considerably, the main themes over 2013-14 included viewers seeking assistance with the Digital Retune and feedback around SBS’s signifi cant programming events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the Tour de France.

SBS Audience Relations also received enquiries relating to general transmissions, positive feedback on several LOTE drama series including Borgen, changes to the WorldWatch schedule, SBS product releases, requests for programs and repeats, and informal complaints about SBS content or programming.

Formal complaints alleging breaches to the SBS Codes of Practice are forwarded to the SBS Ombudsman (see Ombudsman’s report on page 67). To ensure SBS platforms remain in tune with their audiences, all audience feedback is collated in a daily report by the Audience Relations team and sent to internal stakeholders.

Subtitling In order to provide multilingual and multicultural television services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians, SBS broadcasts English language programming as well as English-language subtitled non-English programming.

Programs in a language other than English (other than SBS’s WorldWatch schedule) are made accessible to a wider Australian audience through English subtitles. Subtitles enables audience, regardless of their cultural provenance to access programs in-language.

SBS predominantly uses subtitles, rather than voice over (or dubbing) as subtitling retains the linguistic and cultural integrity of the original programs and allows for effective cross-cultural communications.

In 2013-14: - Once Upon A Time in Punchbowl was subtitled into Arabic and the Arabic

version shown simultaneously on SBS ON DEMAND.

- Online real-time interactive online documentary called Exit Syria - Diaries from Za’atari which was subtitled from Arabic into English overnight.

SBS ONE - 1,368 hours of subtitling - 82 hours of re-narration - 4,340 hours of closed captions

SBS 2 - 1,421 hours of subtitling - 753 hours of closed captions

NITV - 424 hours of subtitles

Online - 22 hours of subtitles

Awards

The SBS Subtitling Unit won the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) Excellence Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry for its LOTE subtitling work and for SBS’s ground-breaking use of LOTE subtitles in English programs to deliver on the SBS Charter with content that speaks directly to multiple generations of multilingual Australians.

2014 World Cup Technical Support SBS’s technical team was instrumental in delivering the 2014 FIFA World Cup from across the globe to a national audience. Over 20 major technology systems were refreshed or replaced in the lead up to the tournament to ensure audiences were able to watch all 64 matches live and in High Defi nition. During the event the broadcast operations team supported extensive on-ground coverage from Brazil and over 300 hours of studio programming from the SBS studios in Sydney, including live match hosting and the nightly entertainment program The Full Brazilian.

Advanced Sports Graphics Football fans are enjoying a new level of game analysis during A-League and World Cup coverage through SBS’s new advanced sports graphics system. The new technology presents a detailed visual analysis of gameplay to work alongside expert commentary from the Sports team.

Digitisation Project To protect historically and culturally important SBS content against loss and preserve it for future reuse, approximately 17,000 hours of obsolete and deteriorating videotape has been digitised and catalogued through the SBS Digitisation Project. For the fi rst time unique collections that had been previously inaccessible, such as the entire news archive of SBS’s Indigenous broadcaster NITV, are available catalogued and digitised. SBS’s rich history of commissioned documentaries and programs of national interest have also been captured. More unique content is set to be digitised over the coming year, including SBS’s diverse radio content and SBS World News archive.

Business Intelligence System SBS integrated a new Business Intelligence platform across all internal systems to enable close analysis of programming and sales performance across ratings and revenue. The enhanced analysis will guide future program and sales to refi ne the offering to audiences.

Engineering Test Lab The SBS Broadcast engineering team commissioned an operational test broadcast lab on the SBS premises which allows changes in the broadcast stream or head-end systems to be thoroughly tested prior to live broadcast. This will result in further stability and reliability for audiences receiving the SBS signal.

Workfl ow SBS’s internal workfl ow unit was established to assess work productivity challenges, measure performance and drive effi ciencies across the organisation. The project has already resulted in signifi cant cost savings for SBS through several initiatives aimed at increasing collaboration, visibility and accountability within and across teams. SBS Content, Marketing, Online, Technology and Distribution and News divisions are now operating more effi ciently as a broader unit with a focus on high-quality content delivery. The valuable insights gained from the workfl ow project are now being used to inform other processes across SBS and NITV.

SBS Television Services SBS Television phased out analogue services in 2013 and now transmits throughout Australia using only digital terrestrial and satellite services. SBS is also retransmitted on the cable subscription services of OptusVision and Foxtel, and the satellite subscription services of Foxtel.

- 324 digital terrestrial transmitters provided by Broadcast Australia;

- 125 retransmission services provided by Regional Broadcasters Australia (RBA), Transmitters Australia (TXA) and Government;

- 84 self-help transmitters; and

- Viewer Access Satellite Television (VAST) direct-to-home satellite services provided via Optus C1/D3 satellites.

SBS Radio Services SBS Radio transmits throughout Australia using analogue, digital and satellite services.

Analogue SBS Radio broadcasts two analogue services each in Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong and Canberra and one service to other capital cities and Newcastle (see Appendix 13).

- 15 terrestrial radio transmitters provided by Broadcast Australia; and

- 153 self-help transmitters.

Digital SBS provides a simulcast of SBS Radio’s local analogue services, plus SBS Radio 3, SBS Radio 4 for special events, and four digital only music channels: SBS Chill, SBS PopAsia, SBS PopAraby and SBS PopDesi.

- 5 metro terrestrial transmitters provided by Broadcast Australia; and

- 1 trial service in Canberra.

Digital Switchover and Equalisation SBS assisted audiences to transition from analogue to digital television throughout the fi nal stages of the digital switchover. Information campaigns targeted each switch-off area and SBS operated a Reception Advice Line (RAL) for viewers experiencing diffi culties.

As part of the Government’s equalisation scheme, new digital services were added to areas where no SBS digital signal was previously available. SBS has added 60 new sites under the scheme, with another 20 due by June 2015.

Following the switchover, communities in remote or poor reception areas are increasingly taking up VAST. There are now over 224,000 households with VAST receivers, providing them access to the full suite of free-to-air digital radio and television channels.

SBS has assumed control of 12 self-help retransmission services, which are now being operated at no cost to their communities. There are 88 SBS self-help digital television and 153 self-help-radio transmitters licensed to provide SBS services.

Digital Retune The Australian Government’s retune project involved channel changes to around 1,400 services and 426 sites nationwide. As channel frequencies change, audiences are required to retune their digital receivers to continue receiving the SBS signal.

SBS moved from the UHF band to the VHF band in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane during 2013-14 as part of the plan to keep broadcasts in the same area close together in frequency.

In markets where several free to air broadcasters were affected by the digital retune, audience numbers recovered quickly. However, the retune had a negative impact on audiences and revenue in markets where SBS was the only broadcaster retuning, particularly Melbourne and Brisbane.

SBS is working closely with the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), Broadcast Australia and the Australian Government to ensure the impact on SBS audiences is minimised and bolstered the government retune communication campaign to ensure it specifi cally targeted SBS audiences.

Transmission Feedback SBS’s Reception Advice Line (RAL) logged and responded to over 4,600 support requests on a range of technical issues including the digital retune, transmission problems, faulty devices, synchronisation and recording issues, EPG data problems, and closed caption faults.

The retune generated the largest amount of calls, particularly from Melbourne, as viewers sought to restore SBS reception. The RAL team was able to provide assistance and solutions to viewers via phone and escalate issues where necessary. No calls were logged regarding SBS radio (analogue or digital) transmission in 2013-14.

54 SBS Annual Report 2014

Fault management system SBS has a complex fault management system for all key suppliers. Each supplier is required to log, manage and report on matters that will affect an SBS transmission, including planned outages for maintenance or project work, as well as respond quickly and effi ciently to faults.

In addition to the fault management services provided by our suppliers, the SBS transmission team keeps records of issues and faults in order to appropriately manage contractors. SBS also monitors service outages, and supports our audience via our Reception Advice Line.

SBS Chair Joseph Skrzynski AO stepped down when his term ended on March 26, 2014, having served fi ve years on the SBS Board of Directors.

“Joe Skrzynski has been an outstanding chairman of SBS, a role in which he brought together his years of business experience, his deep and lived experience of multiculturalism and his passionate commitment to Australian arts and culture. SBS is a stronger organisation for his leadership and on behalf of the Government I thank him for his service in this important role.” - Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull.

“Joe’s commitment to delivering on SBS’s role of contributing to successful multiculturalism, coupled with his passion for the media and astute business mind, have guided the reshaping of our strategic direction when SBS was at a crossroads. His push to include an explicit statement on our role in aiding social cohesion in Australia and the exploitation of new technologies to do this, are now refl ected in the organisation’s mission and drive its focus on programming priorities.” - SBS Managing Director Michael Ebeid.

Under Joe’s Chairmanship SBS delivered distinguished ground-breaking national and international award-winning Australian programs like Go Back to Where You Came From 1 and 2; Immigration Nation, East West 101 and Better Man, undertook a major review of the SBS Radio Schedule to refl ect Australia’s changing migration patterns, launched NITV as Australia’s fi rst national free-to-air Indigenous television channel, incorporated subscription channels World Movies and STUDIO and relaunched SBS 2 to bring younger Australians to SBS.

Joe Skrzynski was appointed to the SBS Board in March, 2009 and elevated to Chair in December, 2009. He was the fi rst Chair to be appointed under the Australian Government’s merit-based process for government board appointments.

“I fi rmly believe the services SBS provides are more relevant today, than at any other point in its near 40-year history. “It would be a terrible mistake for Australia to rest on its laurels, rather than intensifying our efforts to maintain our internationally envied record of success as a socially cohesive multicultural society and our position as country of choice for skilled migrants. SBS has a vital role in this complex task.”

- Joe Skrzynski AO, March 2014.

Joe, a Polish refugee whose family arrived in Australia in 1950, provided a unique perspective on our Charter obligations and strong understanding of Australia’s multicultural communities.

Joe initiated a strategic review of SBS resulting in a revitalised expression of the SBS Charter, which then led to a period of transformation of the organisation in an environment of signifi cant changes in Australian society and in broadcast media.

56 SBS Annual Report 2014

One Newsroom SBS’s television, radio and online news teams commenced work from a newly refurbished integrated newsroom in May 2014. The One Newsroom project provides a physical space to support improved workfl ows across SBS platforms which are facilitating content sharing and cross-promotion.

The key component of the new space has been the creation of a central news desk which serves as the focal point for the coordination of news gathering activities. Journalists are now able to publish cross-platform content with greater ease and audiences are benefi ting from the increased coverage.

As part of the redevelopment the studio area has also been upgraded with new technology and a new set providing for greater production fl exibility and a refresh of SBS’s on-air look.

Agile Workplace SBS employees working in the commercial sales and distribution divisions of the Artarmon premises successfully completed their transition into an innovative agile work space in October 2013. Teams have enjoyed the fl exible seating arrangements supported by better technology and collaborative spaces.

The building works were completed following several feedback sessions to inform minor changes and adjustments to the space, technologies and behaviours. SBS has also greatly benefi ted from the creation of a new ‘content hub’ and unique shared meeting spaces in the atrium. These developments have transformed the Artarmon site into a state-of-the-art presentation space for a wide range of SBS internal and external events. The area has also been used as a backdrop for a number of SBS and NITV internal television productions.

Open Plan Model SBS implemented the fi nal stages of its mid-term accommodation strategy in 2013-14 by moving the remaining business divisions into an open plan environment.

The three year accommodation strategy has transformed all major parts of the existing Artarmon site into an open plan workplace and increased the number of collaboration and meeting spaces across the building.

The workplace model has absorbed signifi cant business growth within the existing building capacity and provides a physical platform to enhance collaboration and support the SBS One Team culture.

The following refurbishments were carried out last year:

- One Newsroom

- Technology and Distributions Solutions & Subtitling

- Finance

- Agile Workplace Pilot

SBS Organisational Culture SBS continues to invest in building a positive team culture that nurtures collaboration and high performance in the organisation, ensuring the business remains dynamic and successful in a changing and challenging media environment.

In 2013-14 the People & Culture team rolled out the second series of workshops to almost 1,000 employees across Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Employees had the opportunity to gain practical skills and further their understanding of the behaviours underpinning the SBS values of Diversity, Creativity, Respect and Collaboration.

As part of SBS’s investment in leadership, 2013-14 saw the release and implementation of cultural and behavioural standards for those in both senior leadership and management roles. These standards are now included in performance discussions and assessments.

SBS conducted an employee survey to track the progress of its culture initiatives and to establish a Culture & Engagement Index to be used in setting targets for 2014-15. SBS also began benchmarking the survey results against the Australian norm provided through our survey partner.

Career Development Throughout February 2014 People & Culture hosted the inaugural SBS Career & Development Month. During the month a range of career planning and development tools were introduced via the Learning & Development website. Employees also had the opportunity to attend career coaching and management workshops, hear guest speakers and shadow a colleague.

As part of Career Development Month, employees were invited to submit entries to a competition to spend a week in a media organisation of their choice. After an extensive review of over sixty entries, Virginia Melrose from SBS Archiving won a secondment to CNN in Atlanta, Georgia in the USA to learn about CNN’s operating model and develop valuable networks.

MYCareer@SBS In 2013-14 employees were able to actively participate in their individual goal setting and performance review process through the MyCareer online system. MyCareer supports employees to set clear work expectations, record achievements and improve development and career opportunities throughout the course of the performance cycle. Following the end of the cycle, improvements were made to the My Career system to streamline the review process and enhance the user platform.

Leadership Development SBS launched its fi rst leadership development program, ‘Leadership Essentials’. The program is aimed at those making the transition from individual contributors to fi rst line leaders and builds skills in core people management areas of goal setting, performance feedback and confl ict resolution, critical to the performance outcomes of the organisation.

Health & Wellbeing SBS continues to offer a wide range of Health & Wellbeing initiatives to its employees. In addition to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program, staff have access to subsidised gym memberships, onsite physiotherapy, free health and fi tness assessments, health education seminars, quit smoking and weight loss programs.

Enterprise Agreement The SBS Enterprise Agreement expires in December 2014. Employee and manager consultations commenced in April 2014 in preparation for negotiations. SBS, the Community and Public Sector Union, the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance, and employee representatives commenced negotiations for a new agreement in June 2014.

Workforce Overview SBS recruits employees and trainees from diverse language and cultural backgrounds. Employees are encouraged to provide diversity statistical information upon commencement of employment.

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) SBS believes in developing a diverse workforce and this is refl ected in its recruitment processes, leadership development, culture programs and employee opinion surveys.

These processes ensure that appropriate action is taken to eliminate discrimination against, and promote equal opportunity for women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from non-English speaking

backgrounds, and people who have a permanent disability, in relation to employment matters in accordance with the Equal Employment Opportunity (Commonwealth Authorities) Act 1987.

In 2013-14, thirty employees completed the ‘Leadership Essentials’ development program, with 44 per cent female participation. Of the thirty senior managers who commenced the ‘Leading the Business’ program, 40 per cent were female.

Results from the May 2014 employee survey showed a high number of female staff agreeing that they would recommend SBS as a great place to work (78.6 per cent), indicating that SBS’s workplace diversity measures are having an impact.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refl ects SBS’s values and strategic planning processes. As a multicultural and multilingual broadcaster, SBS is committed to setting a positive example as an organisation that upholds principles of integrity, respect, sustainability and social inclusion. SBS pursues responsible business practices through the SBS Foundation, the SBS Reconciliation Action Plan, community engagement and training programs.

Reconciliation Action Plan The SBS Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) takes a long term approach to embed reconciliation actions into the organisation under three overarching objectives:

(1) To be a reconciliation leader in the media industry by nurturing relationships and actively promoting business opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and communities.

(2) To build cultural awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through adapted business systems that support RAP principles in order to promote recognition and respect for Indigenous cultures.

(3) To provide a consistent volume and quality of broadcasts about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, including carrying an acknowledgement of country on SBS productions and SBS commissioned content where relevant.

RAP activities are complemented by a sustained program of Indigenous community and stakeholder engagement supported by the SBS Board, Executive, Corporate Affairs, RAP Committee and other divisions across SBS and NITV.

Indigenous community engagement Indigenous community engagement is a valuable avenue to gain insight into and inform the ongoing work of SBS and NITV to ensure the organisation maximises the public benefi t of its services and remains relevant amongst the communities it was established to serve.

SBS and NITV built on their strong relationships with Indigenous communities and stakeholders through dialogue and consultation, development programs and partnerships.

SBS Board visits Alice Springs In a highlight for the year with lasting benefi ts for NITV, the SBS Board visited Alice Springs where they held the October Board Meeting, attended the Remote Indigenous Media Festival in Ntaria (Hermannsburg), hosted a function at the Mbantua Festival site and met with key NITV stakeholders.

Information Sessions NITV and SBS met with Indigenous leaders and community representatives across the country at information sessions convened in Sydney, Perth and Alice Springs, building on previous sessions in Broome, Darwin, Yarrabah, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Employee Engagement The RAP Committee marked signifi cant events on the calendar through employee engagement activities during National Sorry Day, Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC week. In June 2014 all employees were encouraged to participate in an Acknowledgement of Country project.

Jawun placement SBS was invited to join the Jawun Indigenous Corporate Partnership Group, which uses corporate, government and philanthropic involvement to build the capabilities of Indigenous people and organisations. In October 2013, a trial was conducted in the South Sydney Indigenous Community where an SBS employee helped a community youth group develop fi lm and media materials.

CQ: Who Should Tell Indigenous Stories? SBS CQ was a program produced in-house by SBS staff and broadcast on SBS 2. In the fi nal episode of the series, Stan Grant hosted a forum-based debate exploring the portrayal

60 SBS Annual Report 2014

of Indigenous stories in the media, including how media practice shapes social attitudes and affects public policy. The program was a fi nalist in the 2013 Walkley Foundation Awards and is available as an online resource to educate tertiary journalism students about reporting on Indigenous issues.

Songlines on Screen - Screen Australia Songlines on Screen engaged 11 producers from across Australia to create short documentaries about the songlines of Indigenous people. The series was an initiative of the Indigenous Department of Screen Australia in association with NITV, and footage is being archived to ensure ongoing access and control by the songline’s custodians, developing screen production skills in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through their participation in recording their own stories.

Linking with Indigenous Media SBS remains an active member of the Media Reconciliation Industry Network Group (RING), actively working to develop Indigenous employment opportunities. Meetings are held quarterly and demonstrate industry co-operation with a shared objective to encourage respect and recognition of Indigenous Cultures. All Media RING meetings are reported back to the SBS RAP Committee.

NITV has also developed strong relationships with Indigenous media organisations including the Indigenous Remote Communications Association and the Australian Indigenous Communications Association. These linkages have resulted in valuable joint projects and content collaboration.

In developing the NITV Strategic planning framework, research from

the World Indigenous Television Broadcasters Network has been instructive.

SBS continues its membership with Supply Nation which provides access to a database of Indigenous business suppliers for procurement opportunities. Through this membership, SBS contributes to ensuring small to medium Indigenous businesses have the opportunity to be integrated into the supply chains of Australian companies and Government agencies.

Training and Development The Macquarie University SBS NITV Media Mentorship program, established in 2013, continued to play a key role in assisting Indigenous media students to gain a better understanding of the media sector and enhancing the reputation of NITV and SBS as desirable places to work.

In 2013 four Indigenous media students from Macquarie University completed work experience programs at SBS and NITV, including the opportunity to travel to Darwin to cover the Indigenous Music Awards 2013. In 2014, six students will be placed in the program and will form part of the production crew for broadcasts.

SBS continued its successful Legal Indigenous Cadet program in 2013-14 with its sixth law undergraduate gaining experience in the media law industry while working part-time with SBS Legal.

Funding accessed through the Media RING allowed one Indigenous cadet to complete a journalism cadetship with Living Black in 2013 and three other cadets are currently employed in the program.

SBS Foundation SBS supports a range of Australian charities with an alignment with the SBS Charter through the SBS Foundation. Since its launch in 2009, the program has partnered with over 100 charities and non-profi t organisations spanning the arts, health, sport, environment, multicultural, Indigenous and regional sectors.

In 2013-14, the SBS Foundation supported 13 national and regional charities alongside four long term partnerships with Amy Gillett, Australia for UNHCR, Reconciliation Australia and the Johnny Warren Football Foundation.

The SBS Community Advisory Committee (CAC) assists SBS to fulfi l its duty to be aware of, and responsive to, community matters relevant to the Charter, by advising the Board on community needs and opinions, including those of small or newly arrived ethnic groups.

In determining appointments to the Committee and its overall membership, the SBS Board takes into account the diversity of backgrounds of the members, geographical representation and specialised skills and knowledge, including their ability to refl ect the needs and interests of women, youth, the aged and people with disabilities.

Members are selected on the basis that they have an understanding of Australia’s multicultural society, and in particular, have interests relevant to, and an understanding of ethnic and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

During 2013-14, SBS Board members Hass Dellal and Elleni Bereded-Samuel attended CAC meetings to participate in discussions and establish a channel of communication between the CAC and the SBS Board. In April 2014, Ms Bereded-Samuel was appointed as a new CAC member following the end of her term on the SBS Board.

The SBS Community Advisory Committee provided input and held discussions on a range of topics during 2013-14. The outcomes of these discussions were shared with the SBS Board, including:

- SBS Codes of Practice Review

- 2014 SBS Community Engagement Plan

- SBS Radio Schedule Review

- Strategies for engaging young people

- Indigenous people in the multicultural space

- CALD access to disability services

- Employment issues affecting CALD youth

- FECCA Women’s Network and possible collaborations

Union (EBU) and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association (CBA) and works with fellow members to advance the interests of public media and to promote their indispensable contribution to modern society.

International Public Media Organisations SBS executives have dialogue with public media organisations from North America, Asia and Europe to strengthen strategic partnerships, content sharing arrangements and compare approaches to the adoption of broadcasting technology.

Screen Agencies SBS and NITV held workshops with Screen Australia and the State Screen Agencies to develop effi cient pathways for the creation and funding of screen content. The workshops provide a platform for ongoing dialogue between SBS, NITV and Screen Agencies to tackle the challenges facing the sector.

SBS Media SBS Media performed strongly within a highly competitive market over 2013-14, with year-on-year growth across all sales platforms.

SBS Media commissioned Pollinate to conduct a major research study on what it means to be Australian today and the implications for brands and marketers. The study ‘Who Do We Think We Are?’ was released in May as part of the Vivid Sydney Festival (see page 51).

The fi ndings have been presented to key agencies and clients and have been received with great interest. The fi ndings position SBS Media as a unique provider in the multicultural space.

Advertising Revenue SBS advertising and In-Language revenue experienced 27 per cent growth year on year. This was largely infl uenced by the successful launch of the Hyundai A-League free-to-air as well as the 2014 FIFA World Cup in June 2014.

SBS’s key football events provided additional sponsorship opportunities and multi-platform offerings.

TV sales increased by 28 per cent, online by 34 per cent and radio achieved a 20 per cent growth compared to 2012-13. This was a great achievement for SBS Media, particularly in a year with major sporting events broadcast on other networks.

SBS Distribution SBS Distribution delivers consumer products, content and events that align with SBS programming and activities to increase reach, deepen engagement, generate revenue and extend the SBS brand.

Products include SBS DVDs, CDs, video and music downloads, books and eBooks, magazines and apps developed with several distribution partners including Madman Entertainment, Hardie Grant, Universal Music Australia, iTunes, Pacifi c Magazines and Next Media.

SBS products are made available through Australian retailers including national retail partners Dymocks and ABC Shops, SBS’s online platforms, and digital content providers including iTunes and Google Play.

SBS Distribution experienced a 7.3 per cent increase on total revenue on 2012-13. This has largely been driven by a surge in digital sales which have risen by over 150 per cent from over 300,000 paid downloads.

SBS International Program Sales grew revenue by 46 per cent due to an enhanced content offering and expansion into new territories. SBS commissioned content was represented at MIPTV and MIPCOM markets in France.

The Luke Nguyen franchise has performed particularly well and has now been sold in 147 territories worldwide. Feast magazine sold in excess of 340,000 units during 2013-14, on par with 2012-13 despite a substantial decline in the overall category.

SBS Distribution commenced a new fi lm theatrical partnership with Madman Entertainment to generate revenue from ticket sales and extend the SBS brand into cinemas across Australia. A new partnership with NextMedia has allowed co-branding of the FourFourTwo magazine.

66 SBS Annual Report 2014

The SBS Ombudsman received 568 contacts during 2013-14. Of these, 220 were assessed as formal code complaints and were investigated by the SBS Ombudsman.

The remaining 348 were assessed as general complaints and actioned either by response or by referral to the relevant SBS division, or both. Many of these general complaints required a response from the Offi ce of the SBS Ombudsman which sent 99 such responses over the year.

During 2013-14, there was an 83 per cent increase in code complaints received (100 additional complaints) compared to the previous year. This level of code complaints is not dissimilar to other recent years. All of these complaints alleged a breach of the SBS Codes of Practice in relation to content broadcast or published by SBS.

Code complaints were formally investigated by the SBS Ombudsman, who is independent of SBS content producing divisions. Complainants who are dissatisfi ed with the outcome of the SBS Ombudsman’s investigation may refer their complaint to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA) for external review.

During 2013-14, 145 code complaints concerned television content broadcast on SBS ONE, 57 concerned content broadcast on SBS 2, 10 concerned SBS Radio content, six concerned SBS online content, and two concerned NITV content.

There were 216 code complaints from individuals and four from community groups. Most complaints (93 per cent) were received electronically either via email or online complaint form.

Types of Code Complaints The inset graph shows the Codes of Practice issues raised in code complaints during 2013-14.

The most commonly raised code issue was prejudice, racism and discrimination, with a total of 84 complaints received about this issue. Of these, 48 complaints concerned the comedy series Legally Brown. The complaints about Legally Brown were of a similar nature and principally alleged that the comedy mocked caucasian Australians to the extent that it was prejudiced against them.

There were 76 complaints about news and current affairs content. Forty of these involved the accuracy, impartiality and balance provisions of the news and current affairs code. There were also 33 complaints about distressing news and current affairs coverage, and three complaints about overseas news programs.

There were 43 complaints about the classifi cation of programs and nine complaints about diversity of views and perspectives in general programming. A number of other

code issues were raised occasionally in complaints: closed captioning (4), advertising and sponsorship (2), privacy (1) and religions (1).

Findings During 2013-14, investigations into 222 code complaints were completed. The SBS Ombudsman upheld 31 complaints and dismissed 191 complaints. All 48 of the Legally Brown complaints were dismissed and the series was found not to have breached the SBS Codes.

Overall the SBS Ombudsman upheld 14 per cent of code complaints, a decrease on the fi gure for the previous year. No complaints were referred to the Complaints Committee during 2013-14.

Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) During the 2013-14, year the ACMA commenced fi ve new investigations of SBS content. Three of the investigations were completed this year and in all cases the ACMA found no breach of the SBS Codes of Practice.

Financial Results The Corporation and its controlled entities, ended the 2013-14 fi nancial year with a surplus of $0.43 million.

The Corporation’s total assets increased during the fi nancial year from $256.801 million to $281.31 million.

The level of contributed equity by Government has decreased to $110.406 million.

SBS generated 28.4 per cent of its total operating revenue from the sale of goods and services in 2013-14.

Government Revenue In 2013-14 SBS received a total appropriation of $267.005 million from the Australian Government. In 2014-15 SBS will receive a total of $287.074 million from the Australian Government.

Major Investing and Financing Activities SBS actively manages its fi nances. This involves preparation of estimates for appropriation and equity injection funding taking into account movements in the infl ation parameter applicable to SBS. Cash holdings

are monitored throughout the year and where funds are not immediately required for operational activities, investments are made.

All investments have been made in accordance with the investing requirements of the Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991 and the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997.

On 1 June 2009, SBS entered into a fully amortising loan with the Commonwealth. The amount of $15 million had a loan period of 5 years and the fi nal payment of $3.129 million was made in 2013-14.

On 6 May 2014, SBS entered into a fully amortising loan with the Commonwealth to meet short-term cash requirements in relation to the 2014 World Cup. The amount of $20 million has a loan period of 87 days.

Level of Overhead SBS regularly conducts benchmarking exercises to ensure it is meeting or exceeding industry standards in regard to expenditure on corporate overheads. In 2013-14 the

percentage of SBS’s total budget spent on administrative overheads was 8.0 per cent, maintaining the low level of the previous year.

This refl ects the concerted effort by SBS to improve effi ciencies in this area to deliver more funds to content creation. Of total funding from commercial revenue and government appropriation, 47 per cent went towards local and imported content in 2013-14, an increase on the 46 per cent in 2012-13.

SBS Business In October 2009 SBS formed, with the ABC, the National DAB Licence Company Ltd. The company was formed in order to obtain a category 3 digital radio multiplex transmitter licence as provided for by section 102E of the Radiocommunications Act 1992. SBS and the ABC are the only shareholders in the company.

SBS Board Sub-Committees The SBS Board has three standing sub-committees for considering a wide range of detailed issues and making recommendations for consideration by the Board.

Audit and Risk Sub-Committee The SBS Audit and Risk Sub-committee met three times during the year and considered the fi ndings and recommendations of audits conducted by both the ANAO and the internal auditors, Ernst & Young.

The Audit and Risk Committee also considered and gave direction on a wide range of issues including approval of the annual internal audit program, investment and fi nancing activities, risk management and strategy for the fi nancial statements audit.

Codes Review Sub-committee The Codes Review Sub-committee considers proposed amendments and other issues relating to the SBS Codes of Practice and SBS’s internal Editorial Guidelines. Six meetings were held during the year.

Remuneration Sub-committee The Remuneration Sub-committee decides the SBS policies for remuneration of the Managing Director and the SBS Executive. The Sub-committee met once during the year.

Statement of Governance SBS business practices are governed by clear delegations of authority; project (program) management; policies for statutory compliance; codes of conduct and ethics; review processes; budget information linked to all planning processes; and regular monitoring and reporting to the SBS Board and its sub-committees.

Good corporate governance at SBS is also based on an acceptance by all staff that the highest standards of integrity and ethical behaviour are expected of them, as well as transparency and consistency in all their actions.

SBS Codes of Practice Review SBS revised the SBS Codes of Practice in 2013-14. The Codes of Practice set out the principles and policies SBS uses in fulfi lling its Charter obligations.

The revisions took into account developments within SBS and changes in the media landscape and industry practice. The revised Codes of Practice were approved by the SBS Board, and notifi ed to the Australian Communications and Media Authority. The 2014 SBS Codes of Practice came into effect on 3 March 2014.

The main change was to the Television Classifi cation code. SBS brought forward the time zone for programs classifi ed MA15+ from 9:00pm to 8:30pm. This enhances SBS’s ability to support the viewing preferences of its audiences through greater fl exibility in the scheduling of key programs, and is in response to the changing media consumption of audiences and widespread availability of parental controls in the transition to digital television.

SBS Accounting Manual SBS’s fi nancial policies and procedures are contained in the SBS Accounting Manual which is available to all staff on the SBS Intranet. Updates occur frequently throughout the year.

SBS Risk Management Plan The SBS Risk Management Plan and risk assessment identifi es and addresses the major risks and opportunities associated with SBS activities. The SBS Risk Management Plan is regularly revised and in 2013-14 SBS processes were subject to an independent external review by Deloitte to ensure SBS is meeting better practice. The goals behind risk management at SBS are to:

- provide an assurance that SBS has identifi ed its highest-risk exposures and has taken steps to properly manage these;

- ensure that SBS’s business planning processes include a focus on areas where risk management is needed;

- ensure the integration of the various and many risk control measures that SBS already has in place;

- be comprehensive and effective.

The SBS Audit and Risk Committee receives regular reports on the management of identifi ed ‘highest risks’ facing SBS, with identifi cation of risks allowing for the redirection/refocus of resources to address key issues.

SBS Disaster Recovery Plan and Business Continuity Plan During 2013-14 SBS updated its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure it refl ects current technology and resources capability. A BCP maintenance plan is in place to ensure that is tested and updated periodically to ensure full business recovery in the event of a full or partial loss to the SBS premises. SBS also has a Disaster Recovery Plan and a Disaster Recovery site located offsite, to enable continued operations in the event of a disaster impacting on its broadcasting capability from its Sydney headquarters.

SBS Fraud Control Plan The SBS Fraud Control Plan is based on a fraud risk assessment (conducted using the methodology outlined in the International Standard for Risk Management, AS/NZS/ISO 31000). In 2013-14, the SBS Fraud Control Plan was subject to an independent external review by Deloitte to ensure SBS is meeting better practice. The Board is satisfi ed that SBS has in place appropriate fraud prevention, detection, investigation, reporting and data collection procedures and processes and that these comply with the Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines.

External and Internal Audit The audit of SBS’s fi nancial statements is carried out by the Australian National Audit Offi ce (ANAO). The ANAO gave an unqualifi ed opinion on the 2013-14 fi nancial statements of SBS. During the year, SBS participated in a benchmarking study conducted by Comcover (an agency of the Department of Finance and Deregulation) on Risk Management Practices and achieved an excellent overall performance rating.

The Internal Audit program was conducted by Ernst & Young on a contract basis. Ernst & Young performed audits in accordance with the audit plan approved by the SBS Audit and Risk Committee. In all cases, the results were satisfactory. Where applicable, recommendations for improvements to the control environment were brought to management’s attention and have been addressed.

Audits conducted in 2013-14 were: Charter Obligations Management and Corporate Governance; Strategic Planning; Project Management; Online Management; World Cup Risk Management; Television Program Inventory Management; Payroll; Advertising Sales and Delegations.

72 SBS Annual Report 2014

Indemnities and Insurance Premiums for Offi cers As part of its general insurance protection, SBS has a Directors and Offi cers Liability Insurance Policy in place. The cost of this policy for 2013-14 was $35,309 (GST excluded).

Ministerial Directions and Notifi cations SBS has been notifi ed that the following general policies of the Australian Government apply to SBS: Competitive Neutrality Arrangements; Cost Recovery by Government Agencies; Guidelines for the Management of Foreign Exchange Risk and Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines. These are all notifi cations continuing from previous fi nancial years.

In 2006-07, the Finance Minister issued a Ministerial Direction under section 16(1)(c) of the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act requiring SBS (and all other authorities in the general government sector) to provide a Compliance Report on legislative compliance and fi nancial sustainability. No ministerial directions were issued under the SBS Act.

Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act) SBS is committed to fostering a positive safety and wellbeing culture, and to ensuring the health and safety of all employees, contractors, and members of the public who may be affected by our work.

As part of SBS’s proactive approach to the safety governance framework, a comprehensive WHS analysis was undertaken in 2013-14 to assess SBS against legislative compliance and to ensure the continuous improvement of SBS safety systems.

This forward strategy has seen SBS’s injury frequency and claims costs fall this year, relative both to the previous year and comparable agencies.

Health and Safety Committees (HSCs) SBS’s HSCs provide a forum for co-operative engagement between employees and management to effectively address health and safety matters. The Sydney and Melbourne HSCs meet on a quarterly basis and contribute to the development of WHS procedures, assist with risk identifi cation measures and promote safety awareness throughout SBS.

Work Groups / Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) SBS has seven Work Groups. Each Work Group has an elected/selected Health and Safety Representative (HSR) who assists the Work Group in hazard identifi cation and represents the Work Group on the Health and Safety Committee.

Incident notifi cation to Comcare There were no (0) incidents resulting in a serious injury which required notifi cation to Comcare.

Investigations SBS has not been investigated under the WHS Act, nor received any notices given under Part 10 of the WHS Act.

Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 SBS seeks to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of its business activities through a number of sustainability initiatives including recycling waste, energy effi ciency and water conservation measures and the purchase of products made from recycled materials. Energy effi cient lighting systems installed as part of the agile workplace project in Sydney while the upgrade of central rack room air conditioning enabled the installation of new air conditioning equipment that allows free cooling when external ambient conditions permit.

Commissioning of the new Building Management System to CIBSIE standards continued throughout the year. The system is designed to minimise energy use by maximising the operational effi ciency of building plant and has also allowed much greater use of the free cooling system.

These initiatives have seen energy consumption across SBS’s Sydney and Melbourne premises decline by up to 7.4 per cent over the last fi ve years despite an increase in demand on the facility. In 2013-14 the general offi ce recycling program recycled a total of 107.8 tonnes of general waste, 9.8 tonnes of paper and 13.3 tonnes of cardboard. Approximately 82 per cent of all waste generated by SBS was recovered, diverted from landfi ll or re-used.

In addition 6,040 kg of steel, 199 kg of aluminium and 3,803 kg of e-waste were recycled and separate programs to recycle toner cartridges, mobile phones and phone batteries, redundant electrical and data cabling, fl uorescent lighting tubes and building waste generated through building refurbishment work continued.

Sustainability SBS continues to purchase recycled paper for printing, photocopying, hand towels and toilet paper and continues to purchase products made from recycled materials for pin boards, acoustic panelling and furniture.

In our opinion, the attached fi nancial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 are based on properly maintained fi nancial records and give a true and fair view of the matters required by the Finance Minister’s Orders made under the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997, as amended.

In our opinion, at the date of this statement, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Corporation will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.

This statement is made in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

(i) An amount of $0.616m was returned to Government in 2014 for unutilised digital restack funding. This amount was received and recognised as Appropriation Revenue in 2013. The amount returned in 2014 has therefore been recognised as a Return of Capital. The return of this amount was made in line with Government policy to fund only amounts required for the conversion to digital transmission.

1. Summary of signifi cant accounting policies

The fi nancial statements are those of the Special Broadcasting Service Corporation (the “Corporation”).

(a) Objectives of the Special Broadcasting Service Corporation

The Corporation is an Australian Government controlled entity established under the Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991. It is a not-for-profi t entity. It is structured to meet the following outcome:

“Provide multilingual, multicultural and Indigenous radio, television and digital media services that inform, educate and entertain all Australians and, in doing so, refl ect Australia’s diverse society”.

The continued existence of the Corporation in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on Government policy and on continuing funding by Parliament for the Corporation’s administration and programs.

(b) Basis of preparation of the fi nancial statements

The fi nancial statements are general purpose fi nancial statements and are required by clause 1(b) of Schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997 (CAC Act).

The fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Finance Minister’s Orders (FMOs) for the reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2011, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), that apply for the reporting period.

The fi nancial 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 fi nancial position.

The fi nancial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Corporation’s functional currency, and values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise specifi ed. Where applicable, comparative fi gures are restated to refl ect the current year presentation of the fi nancial statements.

Unless an alternative treatment is specifi cally required by an accounting standard or the FMOs, assets and liabilities are recognised in the statement of fi nancial position when and only when it is probable that future economic benefi ts will fl ow to the Corporation or a future sacrifi ce of economic benefi ts 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 in the balance sheet are reported in the schedule of commitments or the schedule of contingencies.

Unless an alternative treatment is specifi cally required by an accounting standard, income and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when and only when the fl ow, consumption or loss of economic benefi ts has occurred and can be reliably measured.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for in line with AASB 3 “Business Combinations”, and consolidated in line with AASB 127 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” from the date of acquisition. The effect of all transactions within the economic entities and inter-entity balances are eliminated in full. The excess of purchase consideration for the acquisition of controlled entities or business over the fair value of their net identifi able assets on acquisition is recognised as goodwill - see Note 8(d).

Acquisitions involving entities under common control

A business combination which involves entities or businesses which are ultimately controlled by the same party are considered “common control” transactions which are accounted for at book value. This is done on the basis that the assets and liabilities are being moved from one part of the Group to another.

On 1 July 2012 the Corporation acquired its wholly owned subsidiary, SBS Subscription TV Ltd, which was accounted for as an acquisition involving an entity under common control. SBS Subscription TV Ltd was voluntarily liquidated on 21 January 2014. The fi nancial statements are those of the Corporation only.

(d) Signifi cant accounting judgements and estimates

In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, the Corporation has made the following judgements that have the most signifi cant impact on the amounts recorded in the fi nancial statements:

Valuation of land, buildings, plant and equipment as detailed in note 1(v).

Program amortisation as detailed in note 1(z).

Long service leave as detailed in note 1(j).

Redundancy provision as detailed in note 1(j).

No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identifi ed that have a signifi cant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

(e) New Australian Accounting Standards

Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard requirements

No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date stated in the standard.

The following adopted requirements have affected the amounts reported in the current or prior periods or are estimated to have a fi nancial effect in future reporting periods.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement. AASB 13 has been issued to ensure consistency of fair value measurement and disclosure. It provides a single set of rules for how to measure fair value but does not specify when fair value should be applied as specifi ed in the relevant Standard

and the FMOs. The fair value hierarchy included within AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement is extended to all measures of fair value. This requires entities to classify fair value measurements into three levels of the fair value hierarchy. AASB 13 requires a number of signifi cant new detailed disclosures for assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Comparatives are not required for the year ended 30 June 2014.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements. This removes the requirements to include individual key management personnel disclosures in the notes to the fi nancial statements. The Corporation is governed by the disclosure requirements as set in the FMOs, hence its disclosure requirements will be governed accordingly.

AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (June 2012). AASB 7 is amended to increase the disclosures about offset positions, including the gross position and the nature of the arrangements.

AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts. AASB 119 (reissued) introduces a single approach for the recognition and measurement of defi ned benefi t plans although this change is not applicable to the Corporation. Of greater signifi cance to the Corporation are the amended defi nitions of short-term and other long-term employee

benefi ts. The change in defi nition shifts the focus to when the benefi t is expected to be wholly settled rather than when it is due to be settled. This has implications for measurement of the annual leave benefi t, on a discounted basis. It also changes the presentation of employee benefi t amounts for key management personnel. While measurement of the liability may change, presentation of annual leave as a current liability will not.

AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13. This Standard amends existing fair value defi nitions, measurement requirements, disclosures and guidance located in other standards to ensure consistency with AASB 13.

AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011). This Standard makes consequential amendments to other standards arising from the reissued AASB 119.

AASB 2012-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements. The objective of this Standard is to make amendments to: AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures; AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements; and AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements. Only minor impacts are expected.

AASB 2012-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Transition Guidance and Other Amendments. The objective of this Standard is to make amendments to: AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards; AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations; AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures; AASB 8 Operating Segments; AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; AASB 11 Joint Arrangements; AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement; AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements; and AASB 102 Inventories. This change takes effect for reporting periods ending on or after 1 January 2013. The major impact on the Corporation, being a not-for-profi t organisation is to defer the implementation of AASBs 10, 11 and 12 until 1 January 2014.

90 SBS Annual Report 2014

Other new, revised or amending standards or interpretations that are applicable to the current reporting period did not have a material fi nancial impact, and are not expected to have a future fi nancial impact on the Corporation.

Future Australian Accounting Standard Requirements

The following new standards, amendments to standards or interpretations have been issued by the AASB but are effective for future reporting periods. The impact of adopting these pronouncements, when effective, will not have a material fi nancial impact on the Corporation’s fi nancial statements.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. AASB 10 introduces a new approach to determining which investees should be consolidated. An investor controls an investee when the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. It is expected to have minimal impact on the Corporation. This takes effect for not-for-profi t entities for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

AASB 11 Joint Arrangements. This standard defi nes a joint arrangement as one where two or more parties are in a contractual agreement which binds them and gives them joint control over the joint arrangement. The standard distinguishes between joint operations whereby the controlling parties have contractual rights and obligations to individual assets and liabilities and joint ventures whereby the controlling parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. This takes effect for not-for-profi t entities for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. AASB 12 contains the disclosure requirements for entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. This takes effect for not-for-profi t entities for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011). Limited amendments have been made, including the application of AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations to interests in associates and joint ventures and how to account for changes in interests and joint ventures. This takes effect for not-for-profi t entities for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Consolidation and Joint Venture Standards. This standard gives effect to many consequential changes to a number of standards arising from the new consolidation and joint arrangements standards. This takes effect for not-for-profi t entities for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

AASB 2012-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (June 2012). The amendments to AASB 132 clarify when an entity has a legally enforceable right to set off fi nancial liabilities permitting entities to present balances net on the balance sheet. This takes effect for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

AASB 1055 Budgetary Reporting. This standard requires reporting of budgetary information by not-for-profi t entities within the General Government Sector (however, comparative information is not required). In particular the original budget presented to Parliament, variance of actuals from budget; and explanations of signifi cant variances are required. For-profi t entities are excluded, as are Public Financial Corporations, Public Non-Financial Corporations and universities. This takes effect for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments. AASB 9 incorporates the classifi cation and measurement requirements for fi nancial liabilities, and the recognition and derecognition requirements for fi nancial instruments, in addition to the classifi cation and measurement requirements for fi nancial assets (representing the fi rst phase of a three phase project to replace AASB 139). This takes effect for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB (December 2010). This adds the requirements in AASB 139 in relation to the derecognition of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities to AASB 9. AASB 9 retains but simplifi es the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for fi nancial assets; amortised cost and fair value. The basis of classifi cation depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash fl ow characteristics of the fi nancial asset. The Standard applies to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Other new, revised or amending standards or interpretations that were issued and are applicable to future reporting periods are not expected to have a material fi nancial impact on the Corporation in future reporting periods.

N No ote e t s to to o tthe h F F Fin nan n a c ci c all S Sta tate e eme e m m ntt n s s s (co on nti tinued e e ))

(f) Revenues

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when:

- the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;

- the Corporation retains no managerial involvement or effective control over the goods;

- the revenue and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and

- it is probable that the economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to the Corporation.

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:

- the amount of revenue, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and

- the probable economic benefi ts associated with the transaction will fl ow to the Corporation.

The stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date is determined by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction.

Receivables for goods and services, which generally have 30 or 45 day terms are recognised at the nominal amounts due, less any impairment allowance account. Collectability of debts is reviewed at the end of the reporting period. Allowances are made when collectability is no longer probable.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method in line with AASB 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.

Revenues 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 entity 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.

Funding received or receivable from the Department of Communications (appropriated to the agency as a CAC Act body payment item for payment to the Corporation) is recognised as Revenue from Government by the CAC Act body unless the funding is in the nature of an equity injection or a loan.

Parental Leave Payments Scheme

Amounts received under the Parental Leave Payments Scheme by the Corporation not yet paid to employees were presented gross as cash and a liability (payable). The total amount received under the scheme was $0.202m (2013: $0.171m).

(g) Gains

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

(h) Transactions with the Government as owner

Equity Injections

Amounts appropriated by Parliament which are designated as ‘equity injections’ for a year are recognised directly in contributed equity in that year.

Other Distributions to Owners

The FMOs require that distributions to owners be debited to contributed equity unless it is in the nature of a dividend.

(i) Other transactions with Government

Some special purpose funding from Government is recognised as revenue only when the related expenditure is incurred.

This includes funds received from Government’s TV fund in 2000 and subsequent years for analogue extensions to regional areas, and for the Commonwealth’s Television Black Spots - Alternative Technical Solutions Program.

The amounts received, including interest accrued on these amounts, are recognised as revenue when related expenditure is incurred or when the program of work has been completed. Refer to Note 4(a) and 4(e).

(j) Employee benefi ts

Liabilities for ‘short-term employee benefi ts’ (as defi ned in AASB 119 “Employee Benefi ts”) and termination benefi ts expected to be wholly settled within twelve months of the end of reporting period are measured at their nominal amounts.

92 SBS Annual Report 2014

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

(i) Leave

The liability for employee benefi ts includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leaves is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by employees of the entity 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 entity’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 the work of an actuary as at 30 June 2012. The estimate of the present value of the liability takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and infl ation.

(ii) Separation and Redundancy

Provision is made for separation and redundancy benefi t payments. The Corporation recognises a provision for termination when it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefi ts, or it has developed a detailed formal plan for the terminations and has informed those employees affected that it will carry out the terminations.

(iii) Superannuation

The Corporation’s staff are members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS), the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), the PSS accumulation plan (PSSap), or a complying superannuation fund of their choice (under the superannuation guarantee legislation). The Corporation also contributes superannuation in respect of contract staff engaged under Section 44 of the Special Broadcasting Service Act 1991, in accordance with the superannuation guarantee legislation. The contributions are included in the cost of contract.

The CSS and PSS are defi ned benefi t schemes for the Australian Government. The PSSap is a defi ned contribution scheme.

The liability for defi ned benefi ts is recognised in the fi nancial statements of the Australian Government and is settled by the Australian Government in due course. This liability is reported in the Department of Finance’s administered schedules and notes.

The entity makes employer contributions to the employees’ superannuation scheme at rates determined by an actuary to be suffi cient to meet the current cost to the Government. The entity accounts for the contributions as if they were contributions to defi ned contribution plans.

The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions for the fi nal fortnight of the year.

(k) Leases

A distinction is made between fi nance 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 fi nance lease. In operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefi ts.

Where an asset is acquired by means of a fi nance 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. 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 benefi ts derived from the leased assets.

Provision for make good

A provision for make good exists when the Corporation has an obligation to “make good” leased properties at the end of the lease term. The provision is initially measured based on the estimated average cost to make good the site, and then subsequently revalued - see Note 1(v).

N No ote e t s to to o tthe h F F Fin nan n a c ci c all S Sta tate e eme e m m ntt n s s s (co on nti tinued e e ))

(l) Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

(m) Foreign currency

Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the effective exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are reported in profi t or loss.

(n) Fair value measurement

The Corporation measures the fair value of assets and liabilities in line with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement.

(o) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, at bank, or on short-term deposits with a maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to insignifi cant risk of changes in value. It excludes amounts on long-term deposits that are not immediately required for operational expenditure. Cash and cash equivalents are recognised at their nominal amounts.

(p) Financial assets

In line with AASB 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, the Corporation classifi es its fi nancial assets in the following categories:

a) fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss;

b) held-to-maturity investments;

c) available-for-sale fi nancial assets; and

d) loans and receivables.

The classifi cation depends on the nature and purpose of the fi nancial 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis except for fi nancial assets that are recognised at fair value through profi t or loss.

Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profi t or Loss

Financial assets are classifi ed as fi nancial assets at fair value through profi t or loss where the fi nancial assets: a) have been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near future; b) are derivatives that are not designated and effective as a hedging instrument; or c) are a part of an identifi ed portfolio of fi nancial instruments that

the Corporation manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profi t-taking.

Available-for-Sale Financial Assets

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classifi ed in any of the other categories.

Held-to-Maturity Investments

Non-derivative fi nancial assets with fi xed or determinable payments and fi xed maturity dates that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classifi ed as held-to-maturity investments. Held-to-maturity investments are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest method (see above) less impairment, with revenue recognised on an effective yield basis.

The Corporation has a series of investments with banks and other fi nancial institutions for funds not immediately required for operational expenditure. They are held-to-maturity investments (term deposits) which are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method - see Note 18.

Loans and Receivables

Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fi xed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classifi ed 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 the end of each reporting period.

Financial assets held 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 fl ows 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.

94 SBS Annual Report 2014

Available-for-sale fi nancial assets - if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an available-for-sale fi nancial asset has been incurred, the amount of the difference between its cost, less principal repayments and amortisation, and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in expenses, is transferred from equity to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Financial assets carried at cost - if there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the present value of the estimated future cash fl ows discounted at the current market rate for similar assets.

(q) Investment in associates

The entity’s investment in its associates is accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, investments in the associates are carried in the Corporation’s Statement of Financial Position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition charges in the Corporation’s share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment. After the application of the equity method, the Corporation determines whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the net investment in associates.

Further details relating to its associate company, Freeview Australia Ltd, are provided in Note 7(c)(ii).

(r) Jointly controlled entities

Interests in jointly controlled entities in which the entity is a venturer (and so has joint control) are accounted for using the equity method.

Further details relating to the Corporation’s joint venture with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (National DAB Licence Company Ltd) are provided in Note 7(c)(i).

(s) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classifi ed as either fi nancial liabilities ‘at fair value through profi t or loss’ or other fi nancial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’.

Financial Liabilities at Fair Value Through Profi t or Loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profi t or loss are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recognised in profi t or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profi t or loss incorporates any interest paid on the fi nancial liability.

Other fi nancial liabilities

Other fi nancial 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial 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).

(t) Contingent Assets and Liabilities

Contingent assets and liabilities are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position but are reported in the relevant schedule and Note 13: Contingent Assets and Liabilities. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of an 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.

(u) 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.

N No ote e t s to to o tthe h F F Fin nan n a c ci c all S Sta tate e eme e m m ntt n s s s (co on nti tinued e e ))

(v) Property, plant and equipment

Asset recognition threshold

Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the Statement of Financial Position, except for purchases costing less than $2,000 which are expensed in the year of acquisition except where they form part of a project or group of similar items, which are signifi cant in total.

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 Corporation where there exists an obligation to restore the property to its original condition. These costs are included in the value of the Corporation’s leasehold improvements with a corresponding provision for the ‘make good’ recognised at net present value. The increase in the net present value through the passage of time, or “unwinding of the discounted value”, is recognised as a fi nance cost - see Note 3(e)(i).

Revaluations

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 suffi cient 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/defi cit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets are recognised directly in the surplus/defi cit except to the extent that they reverse previous revaluation increments for that class.

Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount.

“Make good” under revaluation model

Changes in “make good” provisions under the revaluation model are the reverse of revaluations of the related asset, the only difference being the account affected (asset or provision). A decrease in the provision for “make good” (similar to a revaluation increase of the related asset) is credited to asset revaluation reserve unless it reverses a previous increase which was recognised in profi t and loss.

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

Asset Class Fair value measured at

Land Market selling price

Buildings excl. leasehold improvements Income approach

Leasehold improvements Depreciated replacement cost

Plant and equipment Market selling price or depreciated replacement cost

(w) Depreciation and amortisation

Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, is depreciated up to their estimated residual values, over their estimated useful lives to the Corporation using 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 future reporting periods, as appropriate.

96 SBS Annual Report 2014

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

2013-2014 2012-2013

Class of non-fi nancial asset Avg Avg

Buildings 40 years 40 40 years 40

Leasehold improvements Lease term 15 Lease term 15

Plant and equipment 3 to 20 years 7 3 to 20 years 7

Intangibles (excluding goodwill and trademark) 5 to 7 years 6 5 to 7 years 6

The aggregate amount of depreciation allocated for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 3(d).

Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight line basis over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Intangible assets (software licences and contract rights) are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill and trademark are not amortised, but tested for impairment.

(x) Impairment of non-current assets

All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2014. Where indications of impairment exist (e.g. goodwill), 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 of disposal and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash fl ows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefi t of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash fl ows, and the asset would be replaced if the Corporation were deprived of the asset, its value in use is taken to be its depreciated replacement cost. For the purposes of goodwill impairment testing, a “cash-generating unit” (CGU), comprising the smallest group of assets to which goodwill can be allocated, is identifi ed and tested for impairment as a group - see Note 8(d).

(y) Intangibles

The Corporation’s intangibles comprise of software licences acquired, goodwill, contract rights and trademark.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognised on purchase of a business unit in accordance with AASB 3 “Business Combinations” - see Note 8(d). Goodwill is tested for impairment annually.

Contract rights and trademark

Contract rights are amortised over their anticipated useful lives (6 years). Trademark is not amortised as it has an indefi nite useful life, but is tested for impairment.

Software

Software comprises of purchased and internally developed software for internal use. Software is initially recognised at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over anticipated useful lives. These assets are assessed for indications of impairment as at 30 June 2014.

(z) Program inventory

Program costs are capitalised as inventory and amortised over time to refl ect their expected usage:

Program acquisitions

Program acquisitions are amortised on a straight line basis over the shorter of three years or licence period (for movies), or over the shorter period of two years or licence period (for documentaries and other overseas purchased programs).

Commissioned programs

Commissioned programs are valued at cost, and amortised on a straight line basis over the shorter of four years or licence period.

Some programs are fully amortised in the current period. All internally produced news and current affairs programs, as well as sports events, are expensed immediately at the time of broadcast.

An annual review of all programs is undertaken at the end of the reporting period. Programs which are not expected to provide future benefi ts are written down.

(aa) Taxation

The Corporation is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefi ts tax (FBT) and goods and services tax (GST).

Goods and Services Tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

(i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

(ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST receivable from the ATO is included as a fi nancial asset in the balance sheet while any net amount of GST payable to the ATO is included as a liability in the balance sheet.

In the cash fl ow statement, the GST components arising from investing and fi nancing activities which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO are classifi ed as operating cash fl ows.

6. Fair value measurements

The following tables provide an analysis of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

The different levels of the fair value hierarchy are defi ned below.

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As at 30 June 2014, the Corporation’s held investments (held-to-maturity) and loans payable to the Commonwealth for which fair values have been calculated, and disclosed in this note (as Level 2 fi nancial instruments). The fair values of the held-to-maturity investments and the Commonwealth loans are calculated on the basis of discounted cash fl ows using current interest rates (at 30 June 2014) for investments and liabilities with similar market and credit risk profi les. The fair values of cash, receivables for goods and services, and trade creditors approximate their carrying amounts.

No change in fair value disclosed in this note has been, nor is required to be, recognised in profi t and loss. They are held-to-maturity, and are not held for sale. There are no unrecognised fi nancial assets or liabilities.

Fair value measurements - highest and best use

The existing use of the Corporation’s land holding in Craigieburn as a transmission site is not considered to be equivalent to its highest and best use. However its fair value measurement has been assessed at the asset’s highest and best use for residential purposes.

The current use of all controlled assets is considered their highest and best use.

6(c) Valuation technique and inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements (Continued)

Recurring and non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurements - valuation processes

The Corporation procured the service of the Australian Valuation Offi ce (AVO) to undertake a comprehensive valuation of all plant and equipment at 30 June 2012. The Corporation tests the procedures of the valuation model as an internal management review at least once every 12 months (with a formal revaluation undertaken once every three years). If a particular asset class experiences signifi cant and volatile changes in fair value (i.e. where indicators suggest that the value of the class has changed materially since the previous reporting period), that class is subject to specifi c valuation in the reporting period, where practicable, regardless of the timing of the last specifi c valuation. The Corporation has engaged Australian Valuation Solutions (AVS) to provide written assurance that the model developed is in compliance with AASB 13 “Fair Value Measurement”.

There is no change in the valuation technique since the prior year.

Signifi cant Level 2 and 3 inputs utilised by the entity are derived and evaluated as follows:

Land and Buildings

Land - Price per square metre/per hectare

The Artarmon and Craigieburn land assets have been measured using the market approach by reference to similar transactions within the surrounding locality. The adopted price per square metre has been determined based on professional judgement regarding the comparability of transactions to the subject asset. The existing use of the property at Artarmon is currently considered to be its highest and best use.

The land asset at Craigieburn is not currently used at its highest and best use. The Corporation has valued the land at its highest and best use (i.e. an en-globo residential subdivision) as at 30 June 2014. The asset is subject to an encumbrance (lease) until 2023, which is a restriction that would pass to a market participant. The fair value measurement has therefore considered this restriction by subtracting the present value of the lease rent and estimated relocation costs of the lessee as at the reporting date.

Buildings - Market Rental and Capitalisation Rate

The income capitalisation approach has been adopted to determine the fair value of the buildings asset class. Under the income capitalisation approach the net market rental is capitalised at an appropriate yield as determined from comparable sales transactions. The analysis and selection of an appropriate market rental and yield from evidence with varying degrees of comparability to the subject property is determined based on professional judgement.

Leasehold Improvements - Consumed economic benefi t/Obsolescence of asset

Assets that do not transact with enough frequency or transparency to develop objective opinions of value from observable market evidence have been measured utilising the cost (Depreciated Replacement Cost or DRC) approach. Under the DRC approach the estimated cost to replace the asset is calculated and then adjusted to take into account its consumed economic benefi t/asset obsolescence (accumulated depreciation). Consumed economic benefi t/asset obsolescence has been determined based on professional judgment regarding physical, economic and external obsolescence factors relevant to the asset under consideration.

The weighted average is determined by assessing the fair value measurement as a proportion of the total fair value for the class against the total useful life of each asset.

Property, Plant and Equipment - Consumed economic benefi t/Obsolescence of asset

106 SBS Annual Report 2014

Recurring Level 3 fair value measurements - sensitivity of inputs

Leasehold Improvements & Property, Plant and Equipment - Consumed economic benefi t/Obsolescence of asset

The signifi cant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s leasehold improvements and property, plant and equipment asset classes relate to the consumed economic benefi t/asset obsolescence. A signifi cant increase/(decrease) in this input would result in a signifi cantly lower/(higher) fair value measurement.

Land - Price per square metre/hectare

The signifi cant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s land asset class relate to the price per square metre/hectare. A signifi cant increase/(decrease) in this input would result in a signifi cantly higher/(lower) fair value measurement.

(i) National DAB Licence Company Ltd

In 2009, the Corporation and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) formed a joint venture company with 50% interest each, “National DAB Licence Company Ltd” (National DAB) to purchase and manage the “category 3” Digital Radio multiplex transmitter licence for digital radio broadcasting.

The Corporation’s two nominated Directors (one of whom was Chairman in 2013 and 2014) receive no benefi t or remuneration from National DAB.

Contracts for digital radio transmission and distribution are entered into by the Corporation in its own name. These commitments are included in the schedule of commitments. At 30 June 2014 National DAB had not made, nor is expected to make, any material profi t/(loss). The owners make a contribution each year in proportion to their shareholdings. These costs do not constitute a contribution of capital and have been expensed in the Corporation’s Statement of Comprehensive Income. A summary of National DAB’s results as at 30 June 2014 is disclosed below.

(ii) Freeview Australia Ltd

The Corporation also contributes towards the operational costs of Freeview Australia Ltd (Freeview) in proportion to its shareholding. The Corporation holds 160 $1 shares in Freeview. As a result of a buy-back of shares by the company, the Corporation’s interest is 17.6% in 2014 (2013: 17.6%). No material income is expected from these contributions. These costs do not constitute a contribution of capital and have been expensed in the Corporation’s statement of comprehensive income.

Revaluations of non-fi nancial assets

All non-current assets of the Corporation are at independent valuation except for intangible assets. In accordance with AASB 138 Intangible Assets, intangibles are carried at cost if no active market exists for the Corporation’s intangible assets.

In 2014, an independent revaluation of leasehold improvements at Federation Square and Parliament House resulted in an asset revaluation increment of $0.215m. The asset revaluation reserve was increased by $0.047m for the increase in the provision for “make good” - see note 1(v).

In 2014, the Corporation’s land and buildings were revalued by independent valuers resulting in an asset revaluation reserve increment of $11.467m.

The useful economic life of “Buildings on Freehold Land” was revised upwards from 40 years to 50 years as at 30 June 2014.

The revaluations have been implemented as follows:

- Leasehold improvements were revalued as at 30 June 2014;

- Freehold land was revalued as at 30 June 2014; and

- Buildings on freehold land were revalued as at 30 June 2014.

- Plant and equipment were revalued at 30 June 2012;

111

N Note e t s to to o tthe h F F Fin nan n a c ci c all S Sta ate e eme e m m ntt n s s s (co on nti tinued e e ))

The revaluations for land and buildings were completed by independent valuers at fair value:

- T. Noble, AAPI, Australian Valuation Solutions - Craigieburn, Victoria (land), Federation Square, VIC (leasehold improvements), Parliament House, ACT (leasehold improvements), and Artarmon, NSW (land and building).

The revaluation for plant and equipment was made at fair value by an independent valuer T. Noble, AAPI, Australian Valuation Offi ce.

An annual assessment is also made each year to ensure that the carrying amount of assets is not materially different from fair valuation as at balance date. There were no indicators of impairment for any property, plant and equipment in 2014.

(i) In 2009, the Corporation recognised goodwill of $9.243m following the restructure of the media representation function of the Corporation (previously outsourced) and the resulting acquisition of a business. In line with AASB 3 “Business Combinations”, goodwill was recognised as the difference between the consideration paid and the fair value of identifi able net assets which was Nil.

In 2010, the economic entity recognised additional goodwill of $2.254m following the purchase by SBS Subscription TV Ltd of the remaining 60% issued capital of PAN TV (to become its sole shareholder). Both companies have now merged with the Corporation.

(ii) An independent valuer also valued the identifi able assets of PAN TV on its full acquisition as $0.353m ($0.112m for trademark, and $0.241m for contract rights for the World Movies channel). Trademark is not amortised as it has an indefi nite useful life, but is assessed annually for impairment.

Goodwill is also not amortised, but is assessed annually for impairment (based on its “value in use” calculated as the net present value of estimated future net cash infl ows of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which it has been allocated). In 2014, the amount of goodwill recognised was reviewed, using estimated cash infl ows assuming a risk adjusted pre-tax discount rate of 11% (2013: 11%), and growth rate of 1% in perpetuity (2013: 1%). On that basis, goodwill was assessed as not impaired.

(iii) There were no indicators of impairment for all other intangible assets (computer software) in 2014.

(iv) No intangible assets are expected to be sold or disposed of within the next 12 months.

18(f) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Corporation will encounter diffi culty in meeting obligations associated with fi nancial liabilities.

The Corporation is an appropriated entity, which also relies on the sale of goods and services (mainly advertising and Pay TV subscription fees) to fund its operations.

The Corporation had an unsecured loan from Government in 2014. This was for a loan of $20.000m received in 2014 to offset the cash fl ow impact of advance payments required to support the coverage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

To manage its liquidity risk, the Corporation continuously monitors actual cash fl ows against forecast, reviewing and matching the maturity profi les of fi nancial assets and liabilities, and reforecasting revenues from independent sources (mainly advertising and Pay TV subscription fees).

The following consolidated table for the Corporation illustrates the Corporation’s exposure to credit risk.

The Corporation is exposed to interest rate risk from its investments in term deposits. The Corporation’s investments have Standard & Poor’s credit ratings of A+ or better.

Interest rate risks are managed by maintaining an appropriate mix between fi xed and fl oating rates, with various banks, for the Corporation’s investments. The loan of $20.000m from Government is fi xed at 3.90% (see Note 18(f)).

Interest rate and foreign currency sensitivity analysis is provided in the following table:
