SA LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11
PRESIDING MEMBER AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPORT
THE HONOURABLE GAIL GAGO, MLC
MINISTER FOR GOVERNMENT ENTERPRISES
PARLIAMENT HOUSE ADELAIDE SA 5000
We are pleased to present the Annual
Report of the Lotteries Commission
of South Australia for the year ended
30 June 2011, in accordance with
Section 18B of the State Lotteries Act
1966, as amended.
SA Lotteries’ mission to benefit the
South Australian community resulted
in near record revenue of $388.9
million in the 2010-11 financial year.
Of this amount SA Lotteries returned
$376 million to the South Australian
community. Distribution of prize
moneywas$235million;ouragents
received commission payments, and
local suppliers benefited through the
goods and services they provided to
SA Lotteries. The South Australian
Government collected gambling tax,
income tax equivalents, and dividend
payments.
Return to the State Government
amounted to $94.2 million, with $93.9
million directed toward developing
and improving public hospitals, and
more than $230 000 for recreation
and sporting facilities.
Since 1967, the year SA Lotteries
commenced operations, the
organisation has contributed $2.2
billion to the South Australian
Government’s Hospitals Fund and
almost $9 million to the Recreation
and Sport Fund.
The new online computer system
marked its first full year of operation
in 2010-11. It has provided the
expected reliable service to our
agencies by processing more than
62 million transactions including
51.9 million ticket sales.
Research undertaken recently for
SA Lotteries confirms high customer
satisfaction. It is a reflection on the
reliable and friendly service the
newsagencies, chemists,
supermarkets, kiosks, delicatessens,
service stations, hotels and clubs
provided to customers when selling
our games.
SA Lotteries spent $10.3 million on
goods and services sourced from
South Australian businesses, which
comprised 73 per cent of the total
value paid to all suppliers.
On 9 June 2011 the Government
announced an intention to
sub-license SA Lotteries operations.
The Commission is working with the
State Government to achieve an
optimal outcome for the benefit of all
South Australians, and to ensure a
smooth transition for SA Lotteries
staff, agents and customers.
The dedication and professionalism
of our staff and the 550 small
businesses translates into the solid
performance of SA Lotteries over the
past year. We thank them for their
loyalty and commitment.

SA Lotteries maintains a corporate
policy framework, which is approved
by the Commission. This framework
is supported by divisional policies,
guidelines and procedures that are
reviewed by management on an
ongoing basis.
INTERNAL COST CONTROL
FRAMEWORK
The Commission’s internal cost
control framework assists in the
preclusion of errors and irregularities
across the business and is described
under the following headings:
Financial reporting
A comprehensive budgeting system
with an annual budget approved by
the Commission prior to submission
to Government. Monthly actual
results are reported against budget.
Operating division controls
Financial controls and procedures,
including information systems
controls, are in place. A Commission
questionnaire details compliance with
these controls and procedures to
ensure sound principles of corporate
governance and accountability.
Functional specialty reporting
Performance measures are identified
and regularly reported in a corporate
scorecard.
Capital investment appraisal
SA Lotteries has clearly defined
guidelines for capital expenditure.
These include levels of authority,
annual budgets, detailed cost benefit
analyses and post-implementation
reviews of major expenditure.
SA Lotteries undertakes risk
assessment on an ongoing basis and
includes all strategic and operating
risks in its Risk Management
Program. During 2010-11,
management completed an annual
review of SA Lotteries’ Risk Register.
CRISIS PLANNING
SA Lotteries has undertaken business
continuity planning to ensure that
business activities are, to the greatest
extent possible, protected and
maintained during a crisis.
SA Lotteries’ Crisis Plan and
departmental Business Continuity
Plans were reviewed by management
in 2010-11.
ETHICS AND CULTURE
COMMITTEE
To ensure that SA Lotteries’ values of
integrity, accountability and respect

Committee meets regularly with the
purpose of ensuring that policy
objectives are met.
Ethical conduct is regularly
reinforced via education, induction
and performance management
processes. An annual survey
monitors employee awareness of
ethical standards of behaviour.
Trend analysis and future actions
are also guided by feedback from
‘On-boarding’ and ‘Exit’ surveys.
FRAUD
SA Lotteries has a Fraud and
Corruption Control Policy to minimise
exposure to fraudulent and corrupt
conduct. The policy establishes
processes to identify potential risk
areas and implement controls to

SOUTH AUSTRALIANS
WON $235.4 MILLION
IN PRIZE MONEY PLAYING
SA LOTTERIES’ GAMES IN 2010-11.
WINNING
GAMES
SA Lotteries’ eight games of chance
continued to provide South Australian
players with a choice of purchase
price, play option and prize offer.
Thousands of players shared
$235.4 million in prize money,
including 86 players who shared
$63.1 million in Division One prize
money.
Saturday X Lotto remains SA Lotteries’
flagship game, representing 35 per
cent of sales and 2010-11 saw an
increase of 9.6 per cent in sales from
last year. This record result in 2010-11
was driven by two major promotions
and the successful introduction of a
sixth prize division in January 2011.
Although the record jackpot activity
of the previous two financial years
was not repeated, Oz Lotto and
Powerball benefited from a
cross-promotion in June and
delivered strong sales at each
jackpot level throughout the year.
Keno’s 3.6 per cent increase on
2009-10 sales is largely attributable
to the game’s prior expansion to
SA TAB outlets, and the introduction
of the add-on game, Keno Coin Toss
in May 2010.
The inaugural $5 Deal or No Deal
Instant Scratchies ticket was
successful in selling out 75 per cent
faster than previous $5 tickets.
Each year, SA Lotteries partners with
Australian Lottery operators Tatts
Lotteries and Lotterywest in multijurisdictional (Bloc) arrangements for
all games, except Keno and Instant
Scratchies.
SA Lotteries improved its national
sales share of Bloc games from 6.51
per cent in 2009-10 to 6.74 per cent
in 2010-11.

Most memorable moment:
Christmas was exceptionally merry for
20-year-old Steph Mavrogiannis when
she discovered a $200 000 treasure
hidden beneath the latex of an Instant
Scratchies ticket.
The Forestville resident couldn’t
believe her luck when she discovered
her top prize win on a $5 Tropical
Treasure ticket she received as a
Christmas gift.
“My brother gave Instant Scratchies
tickets as presents to the family on
Christmas Day – mine turned out to
be a slightly bigger gift than
expected,” Steph said. “Of course I
shared the prize with my generous
brother, and I’ve banked the
remainder for safe-keeping,” she said.
A father from Adelaide’s northern
suburbs received a wake-up call with
a difference when SA Lotteries called
him with the $130 386 winning news.
“Is this a hoax, because I can’t say
I believe this?” the man asked
SA Lotteries.
Not yet having checked the Super 66
entry that he had registered on his
Easiplay Club membership card, the
man was overjoyed to see the proof
on his ticket.
“I’ve matched all six numbers? You
little ripper!”
With his winnings, the man planned
to finish his home renovations and
travel to Europe for a holiday.

COMMUNITY
BENEFITS
SA Lotteries has been creating
prosperity for the State of South
Australia for almost 45 years.
Since 1967, SA Lotteries’ games have
generated more than $4.7 billion in
prize money for local players and
another $2.2 billion for public
hospitals.
In 2010-11, $93.9 million, equating to
approximately $1.8 million each week,
was distributed to South Australia’s
Hospitals Fund for the provision,
maintenance, development and
improvement of public hospitals.
The Recreation and Sport Fund
received $233 913 to support and
develop State sporting facilities and
services, taking the total contributed
since the Fund was established in
1987 to $8.9 million.
Annual survey results reveal that
39 per cent of adult South
Australians are aware of SA Lotteries’
profit distribution to hospitals, with
65 per cent of South Australian
adults aware that SA Lotteries’
profits benefit the local community.
Strengthening its vision to benefit
the community of South Australia,
SA Lotteries extends further support
to a range of sponsorship and
community initiatives.
$50 000 DONATION TO
UPGRADE FACILITIES AT
FLINDERS MEDICAL CENTRE
SA Lotteries started a community
fundraising drive with radio station
Mix 102.3 in June to upgrade
accommodation facilities for rural
families using the Flinders Medical
Centre (FMC). SA Lotteries’ $25 000
donation led to numerous pledges
from other South Australian
organisations to support the renovation
of housing units for regional parents
with infants in neonatal care.
Each year, more than 400 babies
are cared for in the FMC Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit - one of only
two in South Australia - with many
premature infants requiring
around-the-clock breathing support,
close monitoring and intravenous
feeding. Regional families experience
the added financial burden - during
an already trying time - of having to
find accommodation near the Centre.
In order to benefit those directly using
the neonatal facilities, SA Lotteries
increased its donation to $50 000 to
allow for the purchase of essential
cardio-respiratory monitors for the unit.
SA Lotteries’ donation was in addition
to its annual profit distribution to
South Australian hospitals.
SA LOTTERIES FOOTY EXPRESS
SA Lotteries continued its
partnership with the South Australian
National Football League to ensure
the operation of the SA Lotteries
Footy Express in 2010-11.
The free bus service for South
Australians travelling to
AAMI Stadium for Adelaide Crows
and Port Power Australian Football
League matches, transported more
than 120 000 fans (18 per cent of
match attendees) from 146 bus stops
across metropolitan Adelaide and,
more recently, some regional areas.
By reducing the number of vehicles
travelling to AAMI Stadium, the
service also results in a 6 000-tonne
reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions.
DRIVING A HEALTHY STATE
WITH ST JOHN AMBULANCE
An inaugural partnership with
St John Ambulance Australia (SA)
Inc benefited more than 14 000
South Australians receiving first aid
treatment at public events.
SA Lotteries’ support ensured that
St John volunteers were able to
provide first aid assistance at many
major and local events, such as
Clipsal 500, Santos Tour Down Under
and the Big Day Out music festival.

extended support to the Flinders

Foundation, Women’s & Children’s
Hospital Foundation and Royal Flying
Doctor Service via sponsorship
initiatives in 2010-11.

a day out of the office to erect
perimeter fencing and repaint interior
facilities at Hills Community Options,
a not for profit organisation
supporting adults with intellectual
disabilities.
Christmas Wishing Tree

generous support to The Smith
Family’s Wishing Tree project by

MINIMISING OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
MINIMISING OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
SA Lotteries embraces sound
environmental practices across its
business operations, including using
efficient and sustainable energy to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
reducing waste, and encouraging
recycling of its supplies. These
practices achieved an overall
reduction in energy consumption of
0.2 per cent on the previous year.

REDUCING ENERGY
CONSUMPTION
SENSOR LIGHTING
South Australia’s Strategic Plan targets
a reduction in energy consumption of
25 per cent in government buildings
from 2000-01 levels by 2014.
SA Lotteries’ increased energy use
during 2009-10 was due to the
installation of the replacement online
lottery system, which still impacted
on energy consumption in 2010-11.
However, SA Lotteries continues to
focus on energy consumption at
both its head office and warehouse
operating sites.

SA LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11
SA Lotteries launched a recycling
program in February to ensure that
100 per cent of recyclable waste,
generated across its two operations
sites, is recycled. The program
complements SA Lotteries’
commitment to waste reduction via
the use of recyclable products and
materials obtained from renewable
sources, where possible. SA Lotteries
also encourages recycling among
members of its agency network, with
100 per cent of the agency network
equipped with recycling facilities.
To encourage recycling and the
responsible disposal of SA Lotteries’
tickets a ‘100% recyclable’ logo is
incorporated on all terminalgenerated tickets. A message
promoting the responsible disposal of
tickets is also included on the reverse
of all SA Lotteries’ Instant Scratchies
tickets. A similar message has been
applied to game coupons.
In addition, in 2010-11 SA Lotteries
donated 63 computers to the State
Procurement area of Government for
re-use by charitable organisations.
BUSINESS CLEAN UP DAY
In March, SA Lotteries’ employees
once again participated in Business
Clean Up Day by collecting rubbish
from the parklands area opposite
SA Lotteries Head Office.
CLEANER AND FEWER VEHICLES
During 2010-11, SA Lotteries reviewed
the size and mix of vehicles in its fleet
with a view to reducing emissions
and operational costs. As a result, a
program commenced to replace
identified vehicles with locally
produced, fuel efficient, four cylinder
vehicles, benefiting both the
environment and the community.
EARTH HOUR
SA Lotteries’ annual participation in
Earth Hour continued to demonstrate
a commitment to the environment
and to assist further in the reduction
of greenhouse gases by switching off
non-critical systems and lighting.
REDUCING WORKPLACE LITTER
In 2010-11, SA Lotteries provided
each employee with a re-usable,
barista-standard coffee cup.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Establishment and Function of SA Lotteries
The Lotteries Commission of South Australia (SA Lotteries), established under the State Lotteries Act 1966, commenced
operations on 15 May 1967 with the primary function of promoting and conducting lotteries in South Australia.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with
relevant Australian Accounting Standards and Treasurer’s Instructions and Accounting Policy Statements promulgated
under the provisions of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.
SA Lotteries has early adopted AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Accounting Standards, which mainly relates to terminology
changes. Refer to Note 3.
(b) Basis of Preparation
The preparation of the financial statements requires:
•
the use of certain accounting estimates and requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying
SA Lotteries’ accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or where assumptions and estimates
are significant to the financial statements are outlined in the applicable notes;
•
accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies
the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other
events are reported; and
•
compliance with Accounting Policy Statements issued pursuant to section 41 of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1987.
In the interest of public accountability and transparency the Accounting Policy Statements require the following note
disclosures that have been included in this financial report:
(a) revenues, expenses, financial assets and liabilities where the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the
SA Government as at the reporting date, classified according to their nature;
(b) expenses incurred as a result of engaging consultants (as reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and
Note 9). (The term Consultant is defined in Accounting Policy Framework APF II General Purpose Financial Reporting
Framework, APS 4.6.);
(c) employee targeted voluntary separation package information;
(d) employees whose normal remuneration is $130 744 or more (within $10 000 bandwidths) and the aggregate of the
remuneration paid or payable or otherwise made available, directly or indirectly by the entity to those employees; and
(e) Commission members and remuneration information, where a Commission member is entitled to receive income
from membership other than a direct out-of-pocket reimbursement.
SA Lotteries’ Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, and Statement of Changes in Equity have
been prepared on an accrual basis and are in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets that were
valued in accordance with the valuation policy applicable.
The Statement of Cash Flows has been prepared on a cash basis.
The financial statements have been prepared based on a twelve month period and are presented in Australian currency.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in preparing the financial statements for the year ended
30 June 2011 and the comparative information presented.
(c)
Reporting Entity
The reporting entity comprises the Lotteries Commission of South Australia only.
(d) Comparative Information
The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements are consistent with prior periods except where
adjusted to reflect the early adoption of AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Accounting Standards and/or where specific
revised Accounting Standards and Accounting Policy Statements have required change.
The restated comparative amounts do not replace the original financial statements for the preceding period.
(e)
Rounding
All amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000).
(f)
Taxation
Tax Equivalent Regime
In accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 22 Tax Equivalent Payments, SA Lotteries is required to pay to the State
Government an income tax equivalent. The income tax liability is based on the State Taxation Equivalent Regime which
applies the accounting profits method. This requires that the corporate income tax rate be applied to profit. The current
income tax equivalent liability (included in undistributed funds liability) relates to the income tax equivalent expense
outstanding for the current period.
SA Lotteries is liable for payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, goods and services tax, emergency services levy, land tax equivalent
and local government rate equivalents.
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
SA Lotteries, as a gambling operator, is required to pay GST of one eleventh of net gambling revenue (NGR), defined as gross
sales less total monetary prizes, direct to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The GST on NGR is treated as a cost of sales.
Income, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
•
when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods or services is not recoverable from the ATO, in which case the GST is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item applicable; and
•
receivables and payables that include GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO 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 ATO is classified as part of operating cash flows.
Unrecognised contractual commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or
payable to, the ATO. If GST is not payable to, or recoverable from, the ATO, the commitments and contingencies are
disclosed on a gross basis.
(g) Income
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the flow of economic benefits to SA Lotteries will occur and can
be reliably measured.
Income has been aggregated according to its nature and has not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific
Accounting Standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Note 27 discloses income where the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the SA Government as at the reporting
date, classified according to their nature.
The following are specific recognition criteria:
•
Sales revenue for Saturday X Lotto, Monday/Wednesday X Lotto, Oz Lotto, Powerball, Keno, Super 66 and The Pools is
recognised as at the date of the draw or competition. For these games, sales revenue as at 30 June for draws or
competitions subsequent to that date is treated as sales in advance. Sales revenue for Instant Scratchies is recognised as
tickets are sold.
SA LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11
(h)
•
Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportionate basis as it accrues, taking into account the effective yield on the
financial asset.
•
Revenues from services, fees and charges are derived from the provision of goods and services predominantly to
agents. This revenue is recognised upon delivery of the goods or services to the recipients.
Expenses
Expenses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the flow of economic benefits from SA Lotteries will occur and
can be reliably measured.
Expenses have been aggregated according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a
specific Accounting Standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Note 27 discloses expenses where the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the SA Government as at the
reporting date, classified according to their nature.
The following are specific recognition criteria:
Employee Benefits Expenses
Employee benefits expenses include all costs related to employment, including salaries and leave entitlements. These are
recognised when incurred.
Superannuation expenses charged in the Statement of Comprehensive Income represent:
•
Defined contributions made by SA Lotteries to the superannuation plans in respect of current employees; and
•
Defined benefits accrued during the reporting period.
Note 2(o) provides further details.
Supplies and Services
Supplies and services generally represent the day-to-day running costs, including maintenance and occupancy costs,
incurred in the normal operations of SA Lotteries. These items are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which
they are incurred.
Depreciation and Amortisation of Non-Current Assets
All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated/amortised over their useful lives in a
manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential. Amortisation is used in relation to leasehold improvements
and intangible assets (software), while depreciation is applied to tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment.
Assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation/amortisation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, on an
annual basis.
Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the
asset are accounted for prospectively by changing the time period or method, which is a change in accounting estimate.
The value of leasehold improvements is amortised over the estimated useful life of each improvement, or the unexpired
period of the relevant lease, whichever is shorter.
Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation/amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the following classes of
assets as follows:
Class of Assets
Estimated Useful Life
Buildings
Plant and Equipment
Current Online Lotteries System
Leasehold Improvements
Intangibles (software)
22 years
3 - 10 years
up to 7 years
up to 10 years
3 years
(i)
Current and Non-Current Classification
Assets and liabilities are characterised as either current or non-current in nature. SA Lotteries has a clearly identifiable
operating cycle of twelve months. Assets and liabilities that are sold, consumed or realised as part of the normal operating
cycle, even when they are not expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date, have been classified as
current assets or current liabilities. All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current.
(j)
Assets
Assets have been classified according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific
Accounting Standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Note 27 discloses financial assets where the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the SA Government as at the
reporting date, classified according to their nature.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Cash Flows includes cash on hand,
deposits held at call and other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily converted to cash, are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value and are used in the cash management function on a day-to-day basis.
Short term deposits are held with the South Australian Government Financing Authority (SAFA) in At Call Deposit and Cash
Management Fund accounts. Bank balances are held with Westpac Banking Corporation in At Call Deposit accounts.
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash equivalents as defined above.
Cash is measured at nominal value.
Receivables
Receivables include amounts receivable from agents and other parties, prize settlements receivable from lottery operators
in other States participating in inter-jurisdictional prize pooling arrangements, and prepayments. Receivables (other than
prepayments) arise in the normal course of selling goods and services to agents and other parties and through prize
settlement arrangements with other Bloc members.
Agent Debtors and Sundry Receivables
Agent debtors and sundry receivables are generally receivable within 7 days and 14 days respectively and are carried at
amounts due.
Collectability of agent debtors and sundry receivables are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be
uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that
SA Lotteries will not be able to collect the debt.
Prize Settlements Receivable from Blocs
Saturday X Lotto, Monday/Wednesday X Lotto, Oz Lotto, Powerball, Super 66 and The Pools are games supported by
inter-jurisdictional prize pooling arrangements. Lottery operators participating in individual games form Blocs for the
relevant games. Amounts receivable from Blocs represent monies due from other jurisdictions for prizes won in
South Australia. Settlement of amounts receivable from Bloc members are normally due 14 days after the date of the draw.
Inventories
Inventories are held for distribution and include Instant Scratchies tickets, game entry coupons and ticket rolls.
Inventories are measured at the lower of actual cost or their net realisable value.
Instant Scratchies ticket costs are allocated when the tickets are settled by the Agent. Costs of game entry coupons and
ticket rolls are allocated upon distribution to the Agent.
Non-Current Asset Acquisition and Recognition
Non-current assets are initially recorded at cost, plus any incidental cost involved with the acquisition. Non-current assets
are subsequently measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation/amortisation.
All non-current assets with a value of $2 000 or more are capitalised.
Componentisation of the online lotteries system (a complex asset) has been performed as the asset’s fair value at the time
of acquisition was greater than $1 million.
SA LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11
Revaluation of Non-Current Assets
All non-current tangible assets are valued at written down current cost (a proxy for fair value). Revaluation of non-current
assets or groups of assets is only performed when their fair value is greater than $1 million and estimated useful life is
greater than three years.
SA Lotteries obtains an independent valuation of such assets at least every five years. However, if at any time management
considers that the carrying amount of an asset materially differs from its fair value then the asset will be revalued regardless
of when the last valuation took place. Non-current tangible assets that are acquired between revaluations are held at cost
until the next valuation, where they are revalued to fair value.
SA Lotteries has taken the exemption available under Accounting Policy Framework III Asset Accounting Framework
paragraph APS 3.8 to take asset revaluation adjustments to the asset revaluation surplus on a class basis rather than an
individual asset basis.
Any revaluation increase is credited to the asset revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation
decrease of the same asset class previously recognised as an expense, in which case the increase is recognised as income.
Any revaluation decrease is recognised as an expense, except to the extent that it offsets a previous revaluation increase for
the same asset class, in which case the decrease is debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve to the extent of the
credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve for that asset class.
Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amounts of the assets and
the net amounts are restated to the revalued amounts of the asset.
Upon disposal or derecognition, any revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings.
Impairment
All non-current tangible and intangible assets are tested for indication of impairment at each reporting date. If there was an
indication of impairment, the recoverable amount would be estimated. An amount by which the asset’s carrying amount
exceeds the recoverable amount would be recorded as an impairment loss. For revalued assets, an impairment loss would
be offset against the asset revaluation surplus.
Intangible Assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. Intangible assets are measured at
cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite. SA Lotteries only has intangible assets with
finite lives.
(k)
Liabilities
Liabilities have been classified according to their nature and have not been offset unless required or permitted by a specific
Accounting Standard, or where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.
Note 27 discloses financial liabilities where the counterparty/transaction is with an entity within the SA Government as at
the reporting date, classified according to their nature.
Payables
Payables include creditors, accrued expenses, prizes payable, undistributed funds (owing to SA Government), and
employment on-costs.
Creditors and Accrued Expenses
Creditors represent the amounts owing for goods and services received prior to the end of the reporting period that are
unpaid at the end of the reporting period. Creditors include all unpaid invoices received relating to the normal operations of
SA Lotteries.
Accrued expenses represent goods and services provided by other parties during the period that are unpaid at the end of
the reporting period and where an invoice has not been received.
All payables are measured at their nominal amount and are normally settled within 30 days from the date of the invoice or
date the invoice is first received.
Prizes Payable
Prizes payable represent amounts due to be paid to customers for prizes won in South Australia and settlements due to
lottery operators in other States participating in inter-jurisdictional prize pooling arrangements.
Amounts payable for prizes won in South Australia are generally available for settlement the day following the draw, or in
the case of Instant Scratchies and minor Keno prizes, on the date of sale or draw. Division 1 and 2 prizes for lotto matrix
type games are normally settled 14 days after the date of draw in accordance with the Lotteries Rules. Amounts payable to
Blocs represent monies due to other lottery operators for prizes won in interstate jurisdictions. Settlement of amounts
payable to Bloc members are normally due 14 days after the date of the draw.
Non-current prizes payable relate to outstanding annuity-style Instant Scratchies prizes where the total prize is payable in
instalments over a number of years in accordance with the terms and conditions of each game. The liability is measured at
the undiscounted amount expected to be paid.
Employment On-Costs
Employment on-costs include superannuation contributions, payroll tax and workers compensation with respect to
outstanding liabilities for salaries, long service leave and annual leave. Employment on-costs are settled when the respective
employee benefit that they relate to is discharged.
Employee Benefits
These benefits accrue for employees as a result of services provided up to the reporting date and remain unpaid. Long-term
employee benefits are measured at present value and short-term employee benefits are measured at nominal amounts.
Salaries, Annual Leave and Sick Leave
The liability for salaries is measured as the amount unpaid at the reporting date at rates current at the reporting date.
The annual leave liability is expected to be payable within twelve months and is measured at the undiscounted amount
expected to be paid. No salaries or annual leave are expected to be payable later than twelve months.
No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is non-vesting and the average sick leave taken in future years by
employees is estimated to be less than the annual entitlement of sick leave.
Long Service Leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised after an employee has completed 5 years of service. The benchmark for
measurement of the long service leave liability has been revised from 5½ years based on an actuarial assessment performed
by the Department of Treasury and Finance.
An actuarial assessment of long service leave undertaken by the Department of Treasury and Finance based on a significant
sample of employees throughout the South Australian public sector determined that the liability measured using the short
hand method was not materially different from the liability measured using the present value of expected future payments.
This calculation is consistent with SA Lotteries’ experience of employee retention and leave taken.
The portion of the long service leave liability classified as current represents the amount that may be expected to be paid as
leave taken or paid on termination of employment during SA Lotteries’ normal operating cycle.
Unclaimed Prizes Reserve
Other than a prize in a Special Appeal Lottery (note 2(l)), any prize in a lottery that has not been collected or taken
delivery of within 12 months of the date of the draw or relevant day is forfeited to SA Lotteries and transferred into the
Unclaimed Prizes Reserve. Subsection 16C(4) of the State Lotteries Act 1966 requires SA Lotteries to pay:
•
50 per cent of the amount derived from unclaimed prizes in The Pools (and other sports lotteries or special lotteries) to
the Recreation and Sport Fund; and
•
50 per cent of the amount derived from unclaimed prizes in other lotteries to the Hospitals Fund.
The balance in the Reserve is applied by SA Lotteries from time to time for the purposes of providing additional or increased
prizes in a subsequent lottery or lotteries, providing prizes in promotional lotteries or making ex gratia payments.
The State Lotteries Act 1966 provides for an ex gratia payment to a person who satisfies SA Lotteries that they are a winner
of a prize in a lottery conducted by SA Lotteries, despite the fact that a prize has been forfeited to SA Lotteries, the winning
ticket has been lost or destroyed or the period of notice of a claim for the prize has not been complied with.
SA LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11
Ex gratia payments are charged to the Unclaimed Prizes Reserve. The next payment to either the Hospitals Fund or
Recreation and Sport Fund, depending on the game played, is then reduced by an amount equivalent to 50 per cent of the
ex gratia payment.
Distribution of Funds to Government
In accordance with Subsection 16(3) of the State Lotteries Act 1966, SA Lotteries is required to pay to the Hospitals Fund
the balance of surplus funds remaining after:
•
payment of gambling tax and GST on NGR;
•
making allowances for operating and capital expenses;
•
applying the net proceeds and gambling tax of The Pools to the Recreation and Sport Fund;
•
in respect of Special Appeal Lotteries (note 2(l)), applying the net proceeds and unclaimed prizes less the GST on NGR
to the beneficiary(s) of those lotteries; and
•
retaining funds for certain designated purposes.
As detailed in note 2(f), SA Lotteries is required to make tax equivalent payments as a result of the application of the tax
equivalent regime. In recognition of the provisions of the State Lotteries Act 1966, and in accordance with Treasurer’s
Instruction 22 Tax Equivalent Payments, the transfer of funds to the Hospitals Fund is reflected in the financial statements in
the form of:
(i) a gambling tax of 41 per cent on NGR in respect of all lotteries conducted by SA Lotteries except sports lotteries, special
lotteries and special appeal lotteries;
(ii) an income tax equivalent payment (calculated on the accounting profits method), recorded as an expense item in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income;
(iii) a dividend, represented by net profit after income tax equivalent payment and increased/decreased by funds retained
for certain designated purposes; and
(iv) unclaimed prizes.
The composition of all amounts due and payable to Government on account of the Hospitals Fund and Recreation and
Sport Fund is detailed in note 24.
(l)
Special Appeal Lotteries
Section 13AB of the State Lotteries Act 1966 enables SA Lotteries to conduct Special Appeal Lotteries.
No Special Appeal Lotteries were conducted during the financial year.
(m) Foreign Currency
Exchange differences arising up to the date of purchase are included in the measurement of the purchase and are reported
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(n)
Operating Leases
SA Lotteries has an accommodation lease agreement for its Head Office premises at 24-25 Greenhill Road, Wayville and an
operating lease for the remote computer site at Glenside (Kidman Park remote site lease expired 28 October 2010). In
respect of these operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially the entire risks and benefits incidental to
ownership of the leased assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis
over the lease term. The straight line basis is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets.
(o)
Superannuation
SA Lotteries has an established superannuation plan for its employees, being the Lotteries Commission of South Australia
Superannuation Plan (the Plan), which is a sub-plan of the Mercer Super Trust. The Plan provides lump sum benefits on
retirement, death, disablement and withdrawal. Some categories of members receive only defined contribution,
accumulation style benefits. The defined benefit section of the Plan is closed to new members. All new members receive
accumulation only benefits. The defined contribution (accumulation style) section receives fixed contributions from
SA Lotteries and SA Lotteries’ obligation is limited to these contributions. The withdrawal benefit for defined benefit
members may be taken immediately or deferred until preservation age.
The liability for the defined benefit section of the Plan has been determined via an actuarial valuation by Stuart Mules, FIAA
(Mercer Investment Nominees Limited) using the projected unit credit method. The report was dated 11 July 2011.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full, directly in profit and loss in the period in which they occur, and are
presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The superannuation expense of the defined benefit section of the Plan is recognised as and when the contributions become
payable and consist of current service cost, interest cost, actuarial gains and losses, and past service cost.
The defined benefit superannuation plan asset/liability recognised in the Statement of Financial Position represents the
surplus/deficit of the fair value of the defined benefit superannuation plan assets over the present value of the defined
benefit obligation to members. The expected payment to settle the obligation has been determined using national
government bond market yields with terms and conditions that match, as closely as possible, to estimated cash outflows.
SA Lotteries also contributes to other externally managed superannuation plans. These contributions are expensed when
they fall due and SA Lotteries’ obligation is limited to these contributions.
(p) Funds Retained for Capital Purposes
SA Lotteries has retained funds which represent the historical cost of the investment in land and buildings at
24-26 Payneham Road, Stepney.
(q) Asset Revaluation Surplus
This surplus is used to record increments and decrements in relation to the fair value of land and buildings and the online
lotteries system to the extent that they offset one another. Relevant amounts are transferred to retained earnings when an
asset is disposed of or derecognised.
(r)
Reserves
Building Maintenance Reserve
This reserve was established to meet future major building maintenance costs.
Capital Asset Reserve
This reserve was established to contribute to the financing of the cost of replacement of the online lotteries system
hardware and software, and the purchase of other non-current assets.
Keno Prize Reserve
This reserve was established to meet Keno Spot 10 prizes. The reserve has been funded from retained earnings as a
proportion of all Keno Spot 10 gross sales through SA Lotteries’ agents and ACTTAB Limited. To the extent possible, the
value of the Keno Spot 10 prize won is transferred from the reserve to retained earnings and paid to the Hospitals Fund.
(s)
Unrecognised Contractual Commitments
Commitments include those from capital and operating commitments arising from contractual sources and are disclosed at
their nominal value.
(t)
Insurance
SA Lotteries has arranged, through the SAICORP Division of the South Australian Government Financing Authority, to
insure all major risks of the organisation. The excess payable under this arrangement varies depending on each class of
insurance held.
(u)
Sub-licence to Private Operator
On 9 June 2011 the South Australian Government announced that it intended to create a sub-licence to operate lotteries in
South Australia. Further, it is intended that the sub-licence will be available to a private sector operator. The licensing
details, including the term and when the arrangement will take effect are still being determined. As of the reporting date,
SA Lotteries is unable to make an assessment of the impact on the reported values of assets and liabilities contained within
this financial report. All assets and obligations are reported in accordance with the information disclosed in note 2 (j) and
(k), note 21 and note 22.
SA LOTTERIES ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11
3. New and Revised Accounting Standards and Policies
In accordance with amendments to APS 4.8 within Accounting Policy Framework II, effective 1 July 2010, SA Lotteries has
disclosed all employees whose normal remuneration is equal to or greater than the base executive level remuneration of
$130 744. Previously APS 4.8 within APF II required the disclosure of all employees whose normal remuneration was equal to or
greater than $100 000.
SA Lotteries did not voluntarily change any of its accounting policies in 2010-11.
Except for early adoption of AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Accounting Standards which mainly relates to terminology changes,
the Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations that have recently been issued or amended, but are not yet effective,
have not been adopted for the reporting period ended 30 June 2011. SA Lotteries has assessed the impact of the new and
amended standards and interpretations and considers there will be no impact on the accounting policies or the financial
statements of SA Lotteries.

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if parties owing monies to SA Lotteries at the reporting date fail to
honour their obligations. SA Lotteries minimises its credit risk in relation to agents by undertaking its sales transactions with a
large number of agents and, in accordance with policy, requiring those agents to remit outstandings on a twice weekly basis.
It is not anticipated that counterparties will fail to discharge their obligations. In addition, there is no concentration of credit risk.

Valuation of property, plant and equipment
The valuation of the 24-26 Payneham Road, Stepney property was performed by Simon Hickin AAPI, Certified Practising Valuer,
an independent valuer from Jones Lang LaSalle, as at 30 June 2011. The valuer arrived at fair value based on recent market
transactions for similar land and buildings in the area taking into account zoning and restricted use and was determined on an
in-use value, assuming a fully tenanted (subject to a notional five plus five year lease back) basis.

Based on an actuarial assessment performed by the Department of Treasury and Finance, the percentage of long service leave
expected to be taken as leave is 35 per cent (45 per cent in 2010). This rate is used in the calculation of employment on-costs.
The net financial effect of the change on employment on-costs in the current financial year is a decrease of $4 000.
Interest Rate Risk
All payables are non-interest bearing.

25. Financial Risk Management
SA Lotteries is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Risk management is carried out by all areas of the organisation and risk management policies and practices are in accordance
with the Australian Risk Management Standards and an internal written policy approved by the Commission.
SA Lotteries has non-interest bearing assets (cash on hand, receivables and inventories) and liabilities (payables and other
liabilities) and interest bearing assets (bank balances and short-term deposits). The maturity of financial assets and liabilities is
disclosed separately in the relevant notes: current items mature in less than 12 months; non-current items mature between one
and five years.
SA Lotteries’ exposure to cash flow interest risk is minimal. SA Lotteries is exposed to price risk for changes in interest rates that
relate to investments at fair value.
SA Lotteries’ exposure to credit risk is minimal. SA Lotteries has policies and procedures in place to ensure that transactions
occur with agents with appropriate credit history. SA Lotteries has no significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk arises where an organisation is unable to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. SA Lotteries has
consistent and stable cash flows from operations, which means its exposure to liquidity risk is minimal. SA Lotteries’ exposure to
liquidity risk is insignificant based on past experience and current expectations regarding risk.

Expected Rate of Return on Plan Assets
The expected return on assets assumption is determined by weighting the expected long-term return for each asset class by
the target allocation of assets in each class and allowing for the correlations of the investment returns between asset classes.
The returns used for each asset class are net of investment tax, investment fees, and asset-based administration fees.

(The Plan is subject to a triennial review and is externally managed. The last full actuarial investigation was
conducted as at 30 June 2009 by Stuart Mules, FIAA, of Mercer (Australia) Pty Limited. The report was dated
31 May 2010.)
(ii)
Current Contribution Rates
As at 30 June 2011, the current contribution rates, in accordance with actuarial advice and Commission
endorsement, are:
•
14.4% of defined benefit members’ salaries effective from 6 July 2009;
•
at the Superannuation Guarantee rate of 9% of accumulation members’ salaries.
(iii)
Funding Method
The method used to determine the employer contribution recommendations at the last actuarial review was the
“target” funding method. The method adopted affects the timing of the cost to SA Lotteries.
Under the “target” funding method, the employer contribution rate is determined with the aim of maintaining the
assets at or close to the value of Accrued Benefits and above the total of the Vested Benefits (leaving service
benefits) by a margin sufficient to give security against adverse circumstances.

Economic Assumptions
