ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 1 Summary of significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report includes separate financial statements for The University of Queensland as an individual entity and the consolidated entity consisting of The University of Queensland and its controlled entities. (a) Basis of preparation These financial statements are a general purpose financial report and have been prepared in accordance with the Financial and Performance Management Standard, issued under Section 57 of the Financial Accountability Act 2009, applicable Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Statement Guidelines for Australian Higher Education Providers for the 2011 reporting period issued by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Statement of compliance The financial statements of The University of Queensland, and notes thereto, comply with Australian Accounting Standards some of which contain requirements specific to not for profit entities that are inconsistent with International Financial Reporting Standards requirements (IFRS). Date of authorisation for issue The financial statements were authorised for issue by The University of Queensland on 23 February 2012. Reporting format In accordance with the Financial and Performance Management Standard, the University prepares Income Statements, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Financial Position, Statements of Changes in Equity and Statements of Cash Flows. The format of these statements is consistent with the Financial Statement Guidelines for Australian Higher Education Providers (HEPs) for the 2011 Reporting Period issued by DEEWR. Historical cost convention The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for available for sale financial investments, derivative financial instruments, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property, which have been measured at fair value. Rounding s in the financial report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar. Accrual basis of accounting The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the University s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are as follows: Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition, measurement disclosure purposes. Further information is contained in note 1(k). Fair value of property, plant and equipment Land, buildings, infrastructure, land improvements and heritage and cultural assets, including the museum collections, are measured at fair values less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. All such assets are valued by an external valuer on a cyclical basis, or earlier if there is material movement. Further information is contained in note 1(l). Impairment of assets All non-current physical and intangible assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis. Further information is contained in note 1(g). All financial assets are assessed for impairment on an annual basis. Further information is contained in note1 (k). Depreciation Buildings, computing equipment, other plant and equipment, infrastructure assets, land improvements and library collections are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives. Further information is contained in note 1(l). (b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of The University of Queensland and its subsidiaries as at 31 December each year ( the Group ). Subsidiaries are all those entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. (c) Foreign currency translation Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is The University of Queensland s functional and presentation currency. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. (d) Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (i) Student fees Student fees are recognised as debtors following the census date for each session with the net value, full value of student fees less any fee waivers or discounts, recognised as revenue. (ii) Sale of goods Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards are considered to have passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer. (iii) Rendering of services Revenue from rendering a service is recognised only when the entity has a right to be compensated, it is probable that compensation will be received, and the amount of revenue and the stage of completion of a transaction can be reliably measured. (iv) Interest Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. (v) Contributions Grants, contributions, donations and gifts that are non reciprocal in nature are recognised as revenue in the year in which the group obtains control over them. Where grants are received that are reciprocal in nature, revenue is accrued over the term of the funding arrangements. THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2011 7

Contributed assets are recognised at their fair value. Contributions of services are recognised only when a fair value can be determined reliably and the services would be purchased if they had not been donated. (e) Income tax The University is exempt from paying income tax in Australia. With the exception of the UQ Investment Trust, the UQ Foundation Trust, UQ Sport Ltd, UQ College Ltd, UQ Health Care Ltd, SARV Pty Ltd, IMBcom Asset Trust, and UQ Holdings Pty Ltd, all of the controlled entities of the University are taxable entities with the charge for income tax expense based on profit for the year adjusted for any non assessable or disallowed items. Where income tax is incurred, it is expensed and provided for in the financial period in which the tax is incurred. Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current period s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: when the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss or; when the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilised except: when the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit or loss; or when the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Unrecognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that the future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in profit or loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority. (f) Other taxes Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of Goods and Services Tax (GST) except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. (g) Impairment of assets All non current physical and intangible assets are assessed for indicators of impairment on an annual basis. If an indicator of possible impairment exists, the asset s recoverable amount is determined. Any amount by which the asset s carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount is recorded as an impairment loss. The asset s recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the asset s fair value less costs to sell and depreciated replacement cost. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Income Statement, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount. When the asset is measured at a revalued amount, the impairment loss is offset against the asset revaluation reserve of the relevant class to the extent available. (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at bank and on hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of 90 days or less. For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash on hand, at call deposits with banks or financial institutions and investments in money market instruments maturing within less than 90 days and net of bank overdrafts. (i) Trade receivables Trade receivables are recognised at fair value, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. All bad debts are written off in the year in which they are recognised and are charged against the operating result. A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The balances of these provisions are set out in Note 19. (j) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and current replacement cost using the first in first out or weighted average cost formula. Direct costs and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenses are included, where applicable. Those stores held by the University are essentially for internal use. Livestock is held for teaching and research purposes and is carried at market value. (k) Financial instruments Investments and other financial assets Financial assets are initially recognised at their fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are included unless the financial asset is held at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, the University classifies its financial assets into the following categories: (1) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, (2) loans and receivables, (3) held to maturity investments and (4) available for sale financial assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified in this category if they are (1) held for trading or (2) 8 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2011

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A designated as such by the University. They are measured at their fair value with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Those financial assets held for trading include short term investments and derivatives. Those financial assets designated by the Group include investments in commercialisation entities. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They have been classed as noncurrent where they are not expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months following year end. They are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Loans to related entities are interest free and as there is no set period for repayment, they are measured at their original value. Held to maturity investments Held to maturity investments are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity which the Group has a positive intention to hold to maturity. They are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Available for sale financial assets Available for sale financial assets are those non derivative financial assets not included in the above categories. They are measured at their fair value with any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value recognised directly in equity. Where the fair value cannot be measured reliably, the asset is measured at cost. Fair value The fair value of investments traded in an active market is based on the quoted market prices at balance date. The fair value of investments that are not traded in an active market is estimated using valuation techniques consistent with accepted market practice. These include reference to the fair values of recent arm s length transactions, involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis. Investment in subsidiaries Subsidiaries are those entities controlled by the University. Control exists when the University has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost in the University s parent financial statements. Investment in associates and jointly controlled entities Associates are those entities which the University has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Jointly controlled entities are those where the University has joint control, established by contractual agreement. Investments in associated entities and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the University s consolidated financial statements and are recorded at cost in the University s parent financial statements. Investments in associated entities and jointly controlled entities which are commercialisation entities are recorded at fair value through profit or loss in both the University s parent and consolidated financial statements on the basis that this provides more relevant information than if valued using the equity method of accounting. Impairment The carrying value of all financial assets is assessed at balance date to determine if there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. If any such evidence exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement. De recognition of financial instruments Financial assets are de recognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the financial assets are transferred to a third party. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are initially recognised at their fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are included unless the financial liability is held at fair value through profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (l) Property, plant and equipment Land, buildings, infrastructure, land improvements and heritage and cultural assets, including the museum collections are measured at fair value less any applicable accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Land Land was independently valued in 2011, as at 31 December 2011 by Colliers International at current market value. Land improvements Land Improvements assets were independently valued in 2011, as at 31 December 2011, by Colliers International at current market value where a depth in market can be identified or as replacement cost where no depth in market can be established. In respect of land improvements the asset recognition threshold is $10,000. The valuation was prepared on the following key assumptions: Not all land improvement assets were sighted by the valuers. Examples of assets which could be sighted include underground cables and pipes. The valuers have therefore relied on areas and quantities provided by the University in determining the fair value. Buildings Buildings were independently valued in 2011, as at 31 December 2011 by Colliers International at current market value where a depth in market can be identified or at replacement cost where no depth in market can be established. The asset recognition threshold is $10,000. The valuation was prepared on the following key assumptions: In determining building areas, the valuers have relied on site plans provided by the University. Basic on-site measurements were only undertaken by the valuers where site plans were not available. These site plans are the same as those used in previous valuations. All sites are free from site contamination or environmental issues. Capital works under construction Capital works under construction are shown at cost. Contracts signed for the purpose of building projects that have not been completed at 31 December 2011 have been disclosed as capital expenditure commitments (refer Note 38). Leasehold Improvements Leasehold improvements are valued at cost. Leased Assets Leased assets are recognised and valued on the basis applying to assets that have the same functionality Plant & equipment Motor vehicles, computing equipment and other plant and equipment are valued at cost. The asset recognition threshold is $5,000. Library collections Heritage Collection The University s collection of rare materials and manuscripts is considered to be a heritage collection. Management considers that the collection does not lose any value over time. The University s heritage collection was independently valued in 2009 using fair value principles. The asset recognition threshold for rare materials and manuscripts is $1. Reference Collection The University s collection of publications, are recorded at average replacement cost, based on the average cost of purchases over a five year rolling period. Theses in this collection are recorded at the cost of reproducing the document from an electronic source. The asset recognition threshold is $1. Common-use Collection This collection has been valued at average replacement cost, based on the average cost of purchases over a five year rolling period. The insured value of the expensed common-use collection is $17.468 million. Museums & other collections (including Works of Art) The University Anthropology, Antiquities and Art Museum collections are independently valued at fair value by an external party on a cyclical basis at 31 December between 2009 and 2011. The asset recognition threshold is $1. THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2011 9

Infrastructure assets Infrastructure assets were independently valued in 2011, as at 31 December 2011, by Colliers International at current market value where a depth in market can be identified or as replacement cost where no depth in market can be established. In respect of infrastructure the asset recognition threshold is $10,000. The valuation was prepared on the following key assumptions: Not all infrastructure assets were sighted by the valuers. Examples of assets which could not be sighted include underground cables and pipes. The valuers have therefore relied on areas and quantities provided by the University in determining the fair value. Heritage assets Heritage assets that provide operational service to the University are reported as part of the generic asset class to which they belong and are valued on the basis applying to assets that have the same functionality. Revaluations of property, plant and equipment Non current physical assets measured at fair value are comprehensively revalued at least once every five years with interim valuations, using appropriate indices, being performed on an annual basis where the change would be material to that class of asset. On revaluation, accumulated depreciation 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. Any revaluation surplus is credited to a revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the Statements of Financial Position unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same class of asset previously recognised in the Income Statements. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the Income Statements unless it directly offsets a previous surplus from the same class of asset in the revaluation reserve. Recognition and de-recognition of property, plant and equipment The cost of property, plant and equipment includes the purchase or construction cost plus any costs or fees incidental to the purchase or construction of the asset An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the Income Statements. Depreciation Buildings, computing equipment, other plant and equipment, infrastructure assets, land improvements and library collections are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives using either the straight line or diminishing value method. All other items of property, plant and equipment including land, capital works under construction, rare materials and manuscripts, museums and other collections are not depreciated. Leasehold improvements and leased assets are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease. Buildings, land improvements and infrastructure assets are treated as complex assets. A complex asset is a physical asset capable of disaggregation into identifiable components that are subject to regular replacement. These components are assigned useful lives for the asset to which they relate and are depreciated accordingly. The depreciation rates used are: Buildings 1% 7% straight line Plant and 10% 20% straight line equipment Infrastructure assets Land improvements 1% 5% straight line 1% 10% straight line Library collections 15% diminishing value The assets useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end. (m) Intangible assets Expenditure during the research phase is recognised in the Income Statements as an expense when it is incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only when technical feasibility studies identify that the project will deliver future economic benefits and these benefits can be measured reliably. The cost of intangible assets includes the purchase price or generation costs or fees incidental to the purchase or generation of the asset. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method to allocate the cost over the period of the expected benefit which in the case of system development costs is 8 years. For intangibles the asset recognition threshold is $100,000. (n) Trade Payables Trade creditors are recognised on receipt of the goods or services ordered and are measured at the agreed purchase/contract price, gross of applicable trade and other discounts. s owing are unsecured and are generally settled on 30 day terms. (o) Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the Income Statements over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Finance costs Finance costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred. (p) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. (q) Employee benefits (i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable. Regardless of the expected timing of settlements, provisions made in respect of employee benefits are classified as a current liability, unless there is an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, in which case it would be classified as a non current liability. (ii) Long service leave The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. (iii) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an 10 THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2011

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance date are discounted to present value. (r) Superannuation The UniSuper Defined Benefit Division (DBD) is a multi employer defined benefit plan under superannuation law but, as a result of amendments to Clause 34 of UniSuper, a defined contribution plan under AASB 119 Employee Benefits. Clause 34 of the UniSuper Trust Deed outlines the process UniSuper must undertake (including employer notifications and notice periods) in order to request additional contributions from employers if the UniSuper assets are considered by the Trustees to be insufficient to provide benefits payable under the Deed. Previously at least four years notice that such a request may be made was required. If such a request was agreed to by employers then members were also required to contribute additional contributions equal to one half of the rate at which their employer was prepared to contribute. If employers did not agree to increase contributions the Trustees were to reduce benefits on a fair and equitable basis. On the 3rd November 2006 an amendment to Clause 34 of the UniSuper Trust Deed was put to the UniSuper Consultative Committee and passed to become effective on 31 December 2006. In essence it provided a clear understanding (subject to Superannuation Law) that if actuarial investigations determined there are insufficient funds to provide benefits payable under the Deed, the Trustees must reduce the benefits payable under Division A and Division B on a fair and equitable basis. Subsequently changes to Clause 34 have been made, taking effect from 1st January 2007, that remove the requirement for employers and members to be asked to top up their contributions in the event of a prolonged shortfall in the Defined Benefit Division. (s) Third Party Investments Where a controlled entity receives shares and other securities in a company in return from the licensing and transfer of technology to that company, the value of those shares is recognised as licence revenue. Consistent with University policy, two thirds of the gross revenue is set aside for the benefit of the University. One third of the gross revenue represents a non current liability for the group to the inventors of the intellectual property. (t) Interests in Cooperative Research Centres The University has an interest in a number of Cooperative Research Centres (CRC). These Centres have varying corporate structures including unincorporated joint ventures, public companies and private companies. Contributions to CRCs are expensed when incurred and are included in the Income Statements. In the event that the research activities of a CRC move into a commercialisation phase, a separate legal entity will most likely be established and the University s share of the newly formed entity will be treated as an asset. The total contributions made to CRCs during the year were $3,052,425 (2010: $1,339,630). (u) New accounting standards and Interpretations Certain new Accounting Standards and Interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2011 reporting periods. The University of Queensland has not applied any Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective, instead they will be applied in accordance with their respective commencement dates. Management have yet to assess the impact of AASB 9 Financial Instruments and 2010 7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 is likely to have on the financial statements as it is anticipated that further amendments will occur. The University does not expect to implement the amendments prior to the adoption date of 1 January 2013. Initial adoption of other standards/interpretations issued but not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. (v) Comparative amounts Change in accounting policy Print subscriptions were previously being capitalised as part of the library collection. Given these subscriptions are used primarily in their first year of acquisition, the University has resolved to expense them as incurred. The effect of the above changes to the library collection on the 2010 financial statements was a decrease in expenses of $32,434,475, a decrease in non current assets of $269,740,882, an increase in the library revaluation reserve of $9,480,209 and a decrease in the opening retained surplus of $311,655,566. Change in accounting estimates Depreciation of the library collection had previously been based on a useful life of 75 years. During the year, management undertook a review of the use of and useful lives of the collection and determined that the standard life be reduced from 75 years to 10 years. As a result, the University has increased the library collection depreciation rate from 2% diminishing value to 15% diminishing value. The effect of this has been an increase in depreciation for 2011 from $1.043 million to $7.821 million. Due to the high volume movement of items in the collection, it is impractical to determine what this change in depreciation rate will have in forthcoming years. Reclassifications Comparatives have been adjusted for changes in disclosures to improve comparability of information. These reclassifications have no impact on net income or net assets for the comparative period. (w) Correction of prior period errors Available for sale investment revaluation reserve The available for sale investment revaluation reserve in the Statement of Financial Position was incorrectly stated in the consolidated financial statements in both 2009 and 2010. The reserve was disclosed as having a negative value of $1,697,593 at both 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2010. The correct value in both years was nil. The error has been corrected by adjusting the 2010 comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements. The reserve is now shown at a nil value at 31 December 2010. A corresponding decrease has occurred in retained earnings. There was no effect on the Statements of Comprehensive Income. Accrued expenses Accrued expenditure in the Statements of Financial Position was incorrectly stated in the parent and consolidated financial statements in both 2009 and 2010. Trade and other payables was understated by $26,338,951 at 31 December 2009 and understated by $27,663,111 at 31 December 2010. As some of the accrued expenditure related to capitalised buildings and equipment, property, plant & equipment was also incorrectly stated in the parent and consolidated financial statements in both 2009 and 2010. Property, plant & equipment was understated by $6,963,425 at 31 December 2009 and understated by $8,661,244 at 31 December 2010. The error has been corrected by adjusting the 2010 comparative figures in the parent and consolidated financial statements. The effect on the Statement of Comprehensive Income was an increase in the operating result of the parent and consolidated entity by $373,658 for the year ended 31 December 2010.

To date a total of $101,954,772 has been received from the SSRFF for 13 projects, in the form of interest free loans repayable over periods that vary between 30 and 35 years. Repayments on these loans do not commence until 2015. Provided the University meets all of its obligations under the various loan agreements, one third of each loan will be forgiven. The University has a potential financial liability to repay the full amount of the loans which will only result if certain conditions under the various loan agreements are not met. Management does not expect these potential financial liabilities to crystallise into obligations and therefore financial liabilities disclosed in the above table are management s estimate of amounts that will be payable by the Group. No material losses are expected and as such, the fair values disclosed are management s estimate of amounts that will be payable by the Group. In accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the loans have initially been recognised at their fair value. Fair value has been estimated as the net present value of the expected future cash payments to be made, discounted by using the yield on a long-term Treasury Fixed Coupon Bond. In determining the future cash payments, the assumption has been made that all obligations under the loan agreements will be met. Subsequent to initial recognition, the loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2011 37

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 40 Contingencies Contingent liabilities Parent Entity The University has a number of ongoing minor legal cases awaiting outcome. Estimates cannot be reliably measured for a number of these cases, but the University believes that the final amounts payable would be unlikely to exceed $400,000 in aggregate. Supplementary Benefit Payments The University has a contingent liability which may arise in respect of supplementary pension payments to be made to some retired staff members or their dependants. These retired staff were members of a Staff Superannuation Scheme which was terminated in June 1984. Former members who had been granted supplementary benefits at this date continue to receive these benefits. Unimutual For the period 1 January 1990 to date, The University of Queensland has been a member of Unimutual, a mutual organisation that provides discretionary risk protection to universities and other educational & research institutions. Under its rules, Unimutual may make a call for a supplementary contribution from members in the event of there being a deficit in any year. A supplementary contribution would only be levied after the application of reinsurance recoveries and investment income for the appropriate year. Supplementary contributions may be levied pro rata according to the original contribution paid No other contingencies of a significant nature exist or are recognised in the accounts.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 43 Financial risk management Financial risk management The Group s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risks, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk and liquidity risk. Senate provides written principles for overall risk management and written policies covering specific areas, such as: cash management, investment of funds, borrowing of funds and the use of foreign exchange contracts. The Group s financial instruments consist mainly of: deposits with banks and cash funds, equity instruments, account receivables and payables and loans with the State of Queensland. (a) Market risk (i) Interest rate risk The Group s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group s short-term investments. The Group manages its short-term cash flow interest-rate risk by investing in fixed-term funds. Significant assumptions Reasonably possible movements in interest rates were determined based on relationships with financial institutions, a review of the last two year's historical movements and economic forecaster's expectations. (ii) Equity market risk The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of long-term investments held by the Group. The Group manages its exposure to market risk by diversifying its long-term investments across different investment asset classes. Significant assumptions Reasonably possible movements in equity prices were determined based on a review of the last three year's historical movements and economic forecaster's expectations. (iii) Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily the US dollar. To manage its foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions, the Group has, at times, entered into foreign exchange contracts. It is Senate s policy to not enter into forward exchange contracts until a commitment is in place. The forward currency contracts must be in the same currency as the hedged item. Significant assumptions Reasonably possible movements in foreign exchange rates were determined based on a review of the last five year's historical movements and economic forecaster's expectations.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 43 Financial risk management (continued) 1. Cash is currently at call which is at a floating interest rate. UQ is liable to interest rate risk on the total cash balance (excluding monies held on behalf of third parties) and foreign exchange risk on USD account balances. Included in the cash balance are term deposits which are at fixed interest rates and therefore not subject to interest rate risk. 2. UQ is exposed to foreign exchange risk on debtors denominated in foreign currencies. 3. Term deposits are held by subsidiaries which will not mature within 90 days. 4. Shares consist of unlisted shares and investments held at cost. Price movements in these investments cannot be measured reliably and have been omitted. 5. Price risk in relation to managed investment funds has been estimated as detailed in the equity market risk description above. 6. UQ is exposed to foreign exchange risk on open forward contracts. 7. Other financial assets consist largely of unlisted shares and investments held at cost. Price movement in those investments cannot be measured reliably and have been omitted. 8. Smart State Loans received from the Queensland Government are non-interest bearing and are recorded at amortised cost. 9. The University has two finance leases. One finance lease is in relation to the PACE Precinct. This is a 40 year finance lease with set repayments. The other finance lease is in relation to CISCO equipment. This is a 3 year finance lease with set repayments. As both leases have set repayments they are not subject to any market risk. The methods for determining fair value are outlined in the relevant accounting policy notes to the financial statements (refer Note 1). (b) Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and Notes to the financial statements. The economic entity does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables, under financial instruments entered into by the economic entity. There is no significant concentration of credit risk within the Group. THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND ANNUAL REPORT 2011 53

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPENDIX A NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011 43 Financial risk management (continued) (d) Fair value estimation The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. Unlisted shares and investments are carried at cost and are comprised mainly of wholly owned subsidiaries. Derivative contracts are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the current market rate. Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables and payables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value and based on credit history it is expected that the receivables that are neither past due nor impaired will be received when due. Smart State Loans received from the Queensland Government are non-interest bearing and are recorded at amortised cost. The carrying amounts and aggregate net fair values of financial assets and liabilities at reporting date are: Carrying Fair Value 2011 2010 2011 2010 $'000 $'000 $'000 $'000 Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents 380,394 238,347 380,394 238,347 Receivables 110,296 101,835 110,296 101,835 Held to maturity investments 11,500 93,400 11,500 93,400 Available for sale financial assets 7,590 6,753 7,590 6,753 Other financial assets at FVTPL 102,983 101,247 102,983 101,247 Total financial assets 612,763 541,582 612,763 541,582 Financial liabilities Derivatives - FX Contracts - (196) - (196) Trade and other payables (98,372) (85,566) (98,372) (85,566) Other liabilities at amortised cost (Smart State Loans) (30,949) (28,689) (30,949) (28,689) Finance leases at amortised cost (120,345) (122,726) (120,345) (122,726) Other liabilities (55,684) (94,167) (55,684) (94,167) Total financial liabilities (305,350) (331,344) (305,350) (331,344) Total 307,413 213,238 307,413 213,238 The University uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have significant effect on the recorded value are observable; Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable data.
