The Board is very cognizant of its responsibility to contribute to the well being of Western Australians through the raising of funds by providing entertaining lottery products to our loyal players in our State. We are grateful to the many small businesses who represent us in selling our products, and to the many other Western Australian businesses who have worked with Lotterywest throughout the year, and who have also contributed to this year’s very positive outcome. In taking our decisions about how best to distribute the funds available through our direct grants programs, the Board takes the view that we must support the most disadvantaged members of our community, as well as contributing to projects which enhance the life of every citizen of Western Australia. We believe we have achieved that balance in the many worthy projects supported this year. Our business environment is a rapidly changing one, with many challenges on the horizon. This report documents these challenges, and the details of our performance in the past year. I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their continued service to Lotterywest, and congratulate the executive team and all staff of Lotterywest for their achievements in the past year. I would like to acknowledge the Hon Nick Griffiths LLB MLC for his contribution during his period as our Minister. I thank our new Minister, the Hon Eric Ripper MLA, Deputy Premier; Treasurer; Minister for Government Enterprises; Minister Assisting the Minister for Public Sector Management, who took over the portfolio responsibility for Lotterywest following the State elections in February this year for his support. My fellow Board members and I look forward to a further record year in 2006/2007, recognizing the challenges of the new technology environment that will be introduced during the next two year period. CLYDE BEVAN, Chairman Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 5 of 109 Overview Who we are Lotterywest (the Lotteries Commission of Western Australia) operates according to the provisions of the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended), as a statutory authority responsible for selling lottery games and distributing the proceeds for the benefit of the Western Australian community Our Vision To be recognised as a key corporate citizen of Western Australia and a leader in the global lottery industry and in all areas of our business Our Purpose To provide funds and support to the community of Western Australia through excellence and integrity in our lottery business Our Values Rewarding – Those who come in contact with us value their experience with us and are enriched by those experiences Inspiring – We motivate and encourage ourselves and others to achieve greater things for the benefit of the community Trusted – All those who play our games or have business relationships with us know that our business dealings with them will be honest, reliable and trustworthy Engaging – We will actively seek partnerships and contact with others for mutual benefit 6 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Annual Report 2005 Highlights Total Sales $550.0 OUR GAMES • Increase of $15.10m on 2004 $500.0 Millions • Total Sales of $520.11m $450.0 • Record sales of $20.16m for Saturday Lotto December 2004 Megadraw $400.0 2001 • New $7 Scratch’n’Win ticket launched May 2005 OUR COMMUNITY • A total of $162.74m was returned to the Western Australian community • 2002 2003 2004 2005 Total Funding provided to the Western Australian community $180.0 $78m returned to Hospitals $160.0 – $10m returned to the Arts $140.0 – $10m returned to Sports – $65m distributed to charitable and community groups Millions – $120.0 $100.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 1,372 grants approved to 1,105 different organisations OUR INDUSTRY • 482 online retail outlets • 84 Scratch’n’Win only outlets Annual Lottery Sales per Capita (Adult) $360 $320 • $41.24m paid to Retailers in commission • Sales per capita of $332.81 $280 $240 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 7 of 109 CEO’s Report While our core mission remains to provide Western Australians with a world class lottery and to use the profits to improve the life of Western Australians, it is the positioning of the Lotterywest brand, launched in April 2003, which has guided much of our activities during 2004/05. The profile of the Lotterywest brand and its associated brand values have been reinforced as we have applied our chosen brand values to the way in which we conduct every area of our business. Lotterywest was established as the Lotteries Commission in the early years of the Depression in response to a need to control illegal gambling and raise money for Western Australians experiencing unemployment and poverty. The Government of the day recognised that the vast majority of people enjoy a “flutter” and would seek illicit opportunities if not provided with a regulated lottery. These origins continue to frame our mission to offer responsible gaming for the benefit of Western Australians. … a combination of a very positive economic climate for Western Australia and a range of product and marketing strategies, has resulted in the best year ever for Lotterywest. As I reported last year, the gambling industry has continued to grow at an incredible rate. Internet gambling - and particularly the harder forms of gambling, such as online poker, and other casino style games - is increasingly popular. Our international networks mean that we have the capacity to monitor these developments while maintaining the high standards of corporate social responsibility that we have always set ourselves. In November 2004, at the World Lottery Association Congress in Durban, I was elected to the position of Vice President of the World Lottery Association, having a few months previously fulfilled my obligation as President of the Asia Pacific Lottery Association, a position that I had held for five years. The World Lottery Association is working to develop even clearer standards of social responsibility for its members, recognising that while the industry must continue to grow to support its beneficiaries, this must be within a responsible framework. This year, a combination of a very positive economic climate for Western Australia and a range of product and marketing strategies, has resulted in the best year ever 8 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 CEO’s Report for Lotterywest. These results have enabled us to provide record amounts for our beneficiaries - our health services, arts, sports and a wide range of community and charitable organisations in Western Australia. Managing the relationship with our retail distribution network continues to be a priority for us. Changing customer expectations and shopping habits, and the changing demographic profile of both the metropolitan area and regional Western Australia has meant that an increasing proportion of our retailers have experienced little or no growth in the last three years, and in some cases their sales are declining. A greater proportion of growth of Lotterywest business is coming mainly from a small number of highly successful retail outlets located in areas of substantial population growth and rising living standards. Initiatives undertaken this year were aimed at addressing some of these issues with results to date being positive. Managing the relationship with our retail distribution network continues to be a priority for us. The launch of the new Lotterywest retail image was one of a number of strategies to help our retailers position themselves to meet modern expectations of retail presentation standards, and a pilot study undertaken in 2003 had shown that with improved levels of service from our field staff and a structured incentive program, retailers could achieve sales growth far beyond their own expectations. This result has led us to restructure the sales support area, with increased numbers in the team who provide training and field support to retailers. The retail training and development program is being reviewed, with improvements being made to the initial training offered to new retailers, and to the ongoing training and development program for existing retailers. Last year a secure website for retailers was launched providing a range of business reports that allow retailers to analyse their own sales performance and compare these with those of other retailers in equivalent areas. The take up of this website has been slower than hoped. We will promote the use of this channel during the forthcoming year, taking advantage of the improved level of service this technology allows us to offer retailers as well as providing cost savings in printing and distributing written material. We will explore ways to make it easier for retailers to obtain broadband enabled computers and provide training in their use. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 9 of 109 Our analysis of the number of outlets and terminals in our network confirms that other than in the new and developing areas (primarily in the outer Perth metropolitan area), we have a sufficient number of Lotterywest outlets to meet customer requirements and our business needs. Western Australia’s ratio of terminals/outlets per head of population is at the higher end of the benchmark for Australia and New Zealand. Because of decisions taken in the past when shopping and demographic patterns were very efficient, we find we have a number of low sales turnover outlets, particularly in the Perth CBD, Victoria Park, and the Fremantle areas. We have worked on a range of strategies to address this issue, including allowing some of these Licences to be reissued to the purchasers of businesses who can offer an improved location and where increased sales will result. This strategy will continue in 2005/06. During 2005/06 we will prepare the way for a new technology infrastructure needed to meet our future business needs. Technology is a driving force for business development in the global lottery industry as it is for many industries. A growing number of our counterparts in Europe and two of our Australian colleagues, Tattersall’s and Golden Casket in Queensland, are now offering players lottery products via the Internet. As the public becomes more and more accustomed to using the Internet for banking and to buy other goods and services, they will increasingly expect this service for our products. The experience of overseas lotteries who have introduced this service clearly demonstrates, however, that retail distribution remains by far the most important way to deliver products to customers, and this form of distribution will continue to have our primary focus. Nevertheless, as we plan our future technology infrastructure we need to consider the option of providing this service to Western Australians. During 2005/06 we will prepare the way for a new technology infrastructure needed to meet our future business needs, a critical project for the future of Lotterywest. Lottery products are distributed on proprietary gaming systems through dedicated terminals in retail outlets. The terminals and systems used by Lotterywest are now very old technology compared with the much more flexible and user-friendly contemporary systems now available. These systems have the capacity to make it relatively inexpensive for us to make changes to our games and so to continue to offer interesting and entertaining products to our players as well as improved management information. This means 10 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 CEO’s Report we will need to make a very significant investment both in cost and in staff resources in a new gaming system and terminals. The target is for implementation of mid 2007. This project – the most significant we have ever undertaken at Lotterywest - will require changes not only to the gaming system but to almost every component of Lotterywest’s business processes. It will require the highest level of skills, competencies and motivation on the part of our people. I am confident that we have these and as an organisation we have focused on new performance development programs which support our staff in their chosen career paths for the future. Our objective is to create a positive working environment and last year we launched a special program promoting a healthy lifestyle, with a focus on physical activity. All staff were offered a health check and an opportunity to participate in a range of physical activities. We believe that there will be benefits both to our staff and to the organisation in terms of healthy, active, involved staff and reduced sick leave. Our objective is to create a positive working environment and last year we launched a special program promoting a healthy lifestyle, with a focus on physical activity. Early in the forthcoming financial year, we will re-launch the first National Australian Lotto game, OZ Lotto, originally launched in 1994. We are confident that the changes, made in partnership with our colleagues in the Australian lotteries industry, will make the game significantly more attractive to our players. Other plans for the new year include the launch of new products in the first quarter of 2006 and a range of new strategies to improve the performance of the instant lottery products. Our commitment to a socially responsible approach to our business continues to influence the choice of lottery products we operate and the way in which we market these, targeting players only over 18 years. While research shows that players do not experience problems with our products, we continue to participate on a voluntary basis as a member of the Problem Gambling Support Committee led by the Director General of the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor which includes representatives of the Casino, the TAB and the Department of Community Services. Lotterywest provides an annual grant to support counselling services for problem gamblers, currently provided by Centrecare. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 11 of 109 All our business strategies are focused on three key objectives; to provide a safe yet interesting and changing form of entertainment for our players; to support our retail business partners and to improve the performance of our retail distribution network; and to continue to support our beneficiaries. We are very proud of our track record, and in particular our creative approach to Lotterywest grants in our community which has received national and international recognition. We are very proud of our track record, and in particular our creative approach to Lotterywest grants in our community….. Increasingly, Lotterywest is regarded as a business and community leader in Western Australia. This year we were particularly proud of the special Western Australian edition of Australian Philanthropy (a national journal which reaches the corporate and private philanthropic sector and many organisations around Australia) which focused on the partnership between the community, the corporate sector of Western Australia, and Lotterywest. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY The buoyant economy of Western Australia (DTF Economic Summary, Summer 2004/05) provides Lotterywest the opportunity to optimise sales and growth strategies within the framework of being socially responsible. Lotterywest continues to achieve record sales growth and gain a share of the entertainment spend by consumers. However we recognise the need also to plan and deploy harm minimisation strategies in relation to problem gambling, even though all the evidence demonstrates that our range of lottery products are rarely associated with problem gambling. Our commitment is to contribute to the overall vision of a sustainable Western Australia and to; • Perform to the highest ethical, commercial and governance standards professional, • Work in partnership with others who are committed to strengthening and building the quality and well being of community life in Western Australia • Operate collaboratively and ethically to develop productive working relationships with all our stakeholders • Develop a corporate culture which encourages the unique contribution of each person 12 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 CEO’s Report • Make decisions based on the simultaneous consideration of social, environmental and economic factors We do this by: • Participating in Problem Gambling committees and forums • Incorporating responsible gaming messages in our communications to players.

I record my appreciation to the Hon Nick Griffiths, LLB MLC for his contribution during his period as Minister for Government Enterprises. Finally, I thank our current Minister and Deputy Premier, the Hon Eric Ripper MLA, Treasurer; Minister for Government Enterprises; Minister Assisting the Minister for Public Sector Management who has been so actively supportive of our organisation since assuming responsibility for Lotterywest following the State elections earlier this year. JAN STEWART CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 25th August 2005 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 15 of 109 Saturday Lotto Our Games $300.0 Lotterywest achieved record sales of $520.11 million. Combined sales of national games, Saturday Lotto, OZ Lotto and Powerball, provided 82% of total sales revenue. The other major contributor was our instant lottery product sold under the brand name Scratch’n’Win which provided 16% of total sales revenue while the games of Super 66, Soccer Pools and Cash 3 contributed 2% of the total. Millions $275.0 $250.0 $225.0 $200.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 The year’s result was $15.10 million higher than the previous year and $9.61 million above the 2004/05 target. • Sales of $286.39m • $7.84m increase on 2004 • 55% of total sales revenue was generated from sales of Saturday Lotto • Record sales of $20.16m for 31st December Megadraw Saturday Lotto with a 6/45 matrix originally launched in 1979, is Lotterywest’s flagship product and provides more than 55% of total sales revenue. The performance of this game is critical to the overall success of our business. During the year sales for Saturday Lotto totalled $286.39 million - an increase of $7.84 million or 2.8% over the previous year. 28.8% of Saturday Lotto sales come from 7 events a year which are planned with our Bloc partners. These Superdraws and one Megadraw scheduled during the year, offered Division One prize pools between $18 million and $31 million again. The December Megadraw ($31m) generated sales of $20.16 million; the highest sales ever achieved for a single draw for Lotterywest. Strong player participation by our core loyal player group in base weeks, (that is weeks without a Megadraw or Superdraw, $3 million division one prize offer) is essential to the continued success of Saturday Lotto. Early in the year, evidence that some players were reducing their expenditure in base weeks, and were waiting for the next big event, prompted a review of our communication strategy for Saturday Lotto. 16 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Our Games We continued to market and promote the Slikpik 25 ticket (that is 25 games on a single ticket) as the ticket of choice and the market has responded well. The Slikpik 25 ticket accounted for over 18% of all tickets sold for Saturday Lotto. During Superdraw events this figure increased to 28% of sales and for Megadraw to almost 37%. OZ Lotto $60.0 $55.0 Millions In response to this we introduced a slightly different advertising approach, emphasising the amounts on offer to players each week and the benefits flowing to the community from their support for our games. Pleasingly, the performance of base week sales improved in the latter part of the 2004/05 financial year. By the end of the year, approximately 46% of the WA adult population played Saturday Lotto on a weekly basis compared to 44% last year. The average weekly spend on Saturday Lotto increased from $8.65 to $8.96 per player. $50.0 $45.0 $40.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • Sales of $55.39m • $3.64m increase on 2004 • 29 jackpots in 2005 • Six division 1 winners from WA OZ Lotto, the first national Lotto game, was launched in 1994 with the same matrix as Saturday Lotto (6/45) but with a higher price per game and consequently higher dividends. While sales for this game are heavily dependent on the number and size of jackpots, strong base week sales have continued to demonstrate the support from a well established and loyal market. In 2004/05, OZ Lotto jackpotted a total 29 times, one more than last year. This contributed to a sales result of $55.39 million, $3.64 million higher than last year. As a national game, this game’s success depends on the contribution from all Lotto jurisdictions. While performing well in Western Australia, in some other States OZ Lotto sales have stagnated and even declined. Agreement was reached between the National Lotto Bloc members that key changes were necessary to reinvigorate this product. Plans for these changes are well advanced and scheduled for late in 2005. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 17 of 109 Powerball $90.0 Millions $85.0 $80.0 $75.0 $70.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • Sales of $84.89m Powerball was launched in 1996 as a second National Lotto game, with a 5/45 + 1/45 matrix designed to jackpot to levels not achieved in other Lotto games. Powerball sales during the year totalled $84.89 million, $2.75 million higher than last year. Annual sales targets for the game were slightly higher than our end of year results as the target was based on an expectation of at least one jackpot of $30 million. During the year there were 31 jackpots, the highest being $22 million. This compared to 35 jackpots in the previous year, including one jackpot of $30 million. • Increase of $2.75m on 2004 • Game changes introduced in February 2005 – Subscription price increase – Retailer commission increase There were some changes to Powerball during the year. In February, the game price increased by 10% with subscriptions rising by 5 cents per game. At the same time the commission paid to our retailers increased from 8% to 9%. – Powerpik ticket introduced More significant to our players and for the growth of the game, however, was the introduction of the Powerpik ticket and a change to the jackpotting sequence. The Powerpik ticket, guarantees the selection of the Powerball number, that is a ticket which has 45 games with all Powerball numbers covered. This ticket has proven to be an increasingly popular way of playing the game. By the end of the year Powerpiks accounted for over 10% of all Powerball sales. With the change in the jackpotting sequence, jackpots are expected to occur more regularly and to reach higher levels. Also significant during the year was the introduction of a new advertising campaign. This light-hearted campaign depicts a fictional character called “Bob” whose dreams have been realised by a Powerball win. Since its launch the ‘Bob’ campaign has had a positive impact on base week and jackpot sales levels. 18 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Our Games Scratch’n’Win $85.0 Our Instant Lottery product was first launched in 1982 and is marketed under the brand name of Scratch’n’Win. Sales for the year continued to perform strongly and totalled $81.98 million. While this is only a moderate increase of $0.20 million over the previous year, the comparative picture was impacted by the introduction of a new billing process. In 2003/04 Lotterywest introduced, as part of the new shopfit, an eight ticket dispenser. The new dispenser was part of a wider strategy to improve the performance of the higher priced tickets. This was supported by a reduction in the number of tickets being offered at the $1 and $2 price points, an increase in the number of tickets at the $4 and $5 price points and the launch of a $7 ticket. Additionally, the $4, $5 and $7 tickets were supported with integrated marketing campaigns. All of these changes resulted in increases in sales of the high price point categories when compared to the previous year. Millions $80.0 $75.0 $70.0 $65.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • Sales of $81.98m • Increase of $0.20m on 2004 • $3 Bonus Crossword ticket provided 49% of total Scratch’n’Win sales revenue • $7 ticket launched May 2005 In an endeavour to attract younger players (that is 18-30 year olds) to the Scratch’n’Win brand, Lotterywest trialled a new $4 ticket called Backstage Pass. In addition to the top prize of $50,000 cash, this ticket offered a bonus panel prize of a trip for two to the 48th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in 2006, and was supported by a targeted advertising campaign. While our retailers gave this ticket great support in the initial weeks, overall the ticket was not successful as it did not attract younger players in the numbers hoped and had only limited appeal to our regular players. However, the campaign provided valuable information to Lotterywest on this segment of the market. Our $3 Bonus Crossword ticket continued to be our most popular ticket accounting for almost 40% of the total Scratch’n’Win sales. Also during the year we trialled a licensed ticket called Popeye at the $3 price point and themed tickets at the $4 and $5 price points. Unlike some of the previous licensed tickets we have tried, Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 19 of 109 Cash 3 Popeye proved to be very successful with many of our players recognising this cartoon character from times gone by. As a consequence of this success we are planning to launch other licensed tickets in the future the first of these being “Bewitched”, early in the new financial year, to coincide with the launch of “Bewitched” the movie. $6.0 Millions $5.0 $4.0 $3.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 • Sales of $5.87m • Increase of $0.54m on 2004 2005 The themed tickets continue to be popular, offering players both a fresh ticket face and a choice of long play and quick play mechanisms, depending on the price point. Another very successful ticket launch during the year was “The Big One”. This was the first time we had offered a ticket at the $7 price point and was very successful with its $250,000 top prize. This ticket, supported primarily with TV, press and outdoor advertising, provided a means of attracting both frequent and infrequent players. Given its success we plan to launch another at this price point during 2005/2006. Although it has a relatively small sales turnover, Cash 3, a WA State numbers game (three digit) launched in 1998 continues to have a very loyal player base. Sales for the year of $5.87 million were 10.7% above target. The promotion of this Western Australian game was mainly through the nightly television results but additional promotions in community newspapers contributed to the positive sales results. 20 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Our Games Soccer Pools $2.0 Millions $1.5 This national sports game (matrix 6/38) is based on Australian and overseas soccer results and continues to be a niche game in Western Australia. It has a small but loyal following. Sales in 2004/05 were $0.24 million (18.4%) higher than last year thanks to more frequent jackpotting compared to the previous year. There are changes being made to the game in the forthcoming year. With additional promotions of the game we are hopeful of a modest increase in sales. $1.0 $0.5 $0.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • Sales of $1.55m • Increase of $0.24m on 2004 Super 66 Super 66 first launched in 1986 is an ‘add-on’ numbers (‘spiel’) game played as an option with the Lotto games. Players are given 6 randomly generated numbers and win a prize according to how closely these match in order to the numbers drawn. $5.0 Millions Sales for this Lotto game were slightly lower than last year confirming that the appeal of this game is waning. National sales were lower than the previous year as other jurisdictions also experienced declines. $6.0 $4.0 $3.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • Sales of $4.04m • Decrease of $0.11m on 2004 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 21 of 109 Our Retailers Lotterywest’s success is linked to the performance of the many small businesses throughout the State which sell our products. Our retail network currently consists of 566 outlets, 482 which offer all lottery products, and 84 which sell Scratch’n’Win products only. 376 outlets are located in the Perth metropolitan area and 190 outlets are in regional and country areas, of which 82 are located in small isolated communities under our customer service policy. During the year 3 new outlets were added to the network, while 5 outlets (3 online and 2 Scratch’n’Win only) left the network. 73 outlets changed ownership and 25 outlets relocated. The partnership with our distribution network continued to be a major focus during the year with a number of initiatives introduced to improve our communications and support to Lotterywest retailers. This included improvements to our retailer newsletter, “The Link” and, more significantly, the launch of a dedicated secure website for retailers. This provides both general management information and reports specific to individual outlets enabling them to monitor their own performance in the context of the performance of the network as a whole. Earlier this year we celebrated the 100th Lotterywest shopfit, a significant milestone in the roll-out of Lotterywest’s corporate brand. At the time of writing a total of 193 shopfits had been completed, with another 200 at various stages of making the change. The distinctive blue and yellow shopfit has succeeded in bringing the Lotterywest brand into the retail environment and helping our retailers to stand out from the crowd. The shopfit has provided an opportunity to make dramatic improvements to the presentation and operation of Lotterywest outlets, including significant improvements in product merchandising. The ‘Leap’ performance improvement program (an incentive program for retailers offering cash rewards for improved sales performance) introduced in the second 22 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Our Retailers Retail Network The training of new retailers is critical to their success and to ours. Some changes were made to the 4-day induction training program for new retailers. This now includes an introductory day at Lotterywest headquarters with presentations by the executive staff as key elements. Our goal is to make sure that all new retailers are given a comprehensive understanding of our business, as well as developing their product knowledge and teaching the skills they will need in their outlets. For current retailers, we offer support in the form of quarterly retailer development sessions and business coaching. We also ran in-store terminal training sessions after business hours enabling retailers and their staff to improve their product knowledge and technical skills. Our objective is to have the best possible retail representatives and for those entering our network to be fully informed about the business they are joining. The application process for retailers joining the distribution network was further refined to achieve that goal. $40.0 590 Outlets 620 Millions half of the 2003/04 financial year continued during 2004/05. In response to retailer feedback, the sales measurement period was reduced from three months to six weeks, although the same bonus payment was available to those retailers who met their targets. In total, 87% of Retailers in the network have received a bonus for reaching or exceeding their targets. $45.0 $35.0 560 $30.0 530 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Retailer Commission No Of Outlets • 482 online outlets • 84 Scratch’n’Win only outlets • 193 new Lotterywest shopfits completed • Total sales commission of $41.25m paid to retailers • Increase in commission paid of $1.38m on 2004 • Launched dedicated retailer website • Launched retailer onsite webbased training • A total of $0.55m paid in bonuses to retailers for Leap performance program All prospective retailers are given a complete information pack (a statutory requirement under the Franchising Code of Conduct) and are required to present a business plan. All are then interviewed by a Lotterywest staff panel and given the opportunity to ask questions before an invitation is given for them to join the network. While this is an additional step in the process for both retailers and Lotterywest, we believe it is critical for our business and theirs that those intending to join our network are given the time and information they need to make an informed decision.

Members of the panel are chosen following an open invitation to the network to submit themselves for consideration. Six members are selected, representing a balance of small and large outlets including at least one regional representative. During the year the Panel contributed to initiatives including enhancements to the Lotterywest shopfit, communications with the network, product repositioning and communications with players and other policies impacting on our retailers. Lotterywest gratefully acknowledges the invaluable contributions of the panel members during 2004/05 and recognises their considerable input into the implementation of Lotterywest shopfit. Our Players Our Players WA Winners Saturday For many Western Australians this was the year when they won Lotto! Oz Lotto 71 Western Australian Lotto winners shared prizes totalling $74.13 million and Saturday Lotto again provided the majority of the big wins. Super 66 Pow erball Soccer Pools Among the most memorable wins during the year were the following: • A couple with three young children from Perth’s southern suburbs who won $8.5 million in a Powerball jackpot in early December. The win came just one week after the woman returned to work following the birth of their youngest child, enabling them to realise their dream of owning their own home. • A Maylands man in his mid fifties came forward to claim his $4.5 million Powerball prize a week after the draw in early March. The man had been playing Lotto for 20 years and had read about a ‘mystery Division 1 winner’ in the newspaper before realising it was him! • A $4 Million OZ Lotto winner who ‘always knew’ she’d win Lotto. The woman in her mid 30’s bought her ticket in Geraldton and planned to ‘spend big’ on a holiday, a new car and clothes as well as spoiling her family and donating to charity. Before her win her family had been struggling to pay a $900 water bill. Division 1 Winners • Saturday Lotto 59 • OZ Lotto 6 • Powerball 2 • Super 66 3 • Soccer Pools 1 • $291.35m in prizes won by Western Australians • 71 Division 1 Lotto prizes totalling $74m • 23 new millionaires • A 14 person syndicate from the Royal Perth Hospital shared a $10 million OZ Lotto prize in late September. Included on their wish lists were holiday properties, paying off mortgages, overseas trips and helping their children. One of the workers resigned immediately from his job! • A winner’s story with a difference related to Iris Curley the Meekatharra grandmother who in 2004 won a $15 million Powerball prize. The impact of her windfall for her community became apparent in 2005 when Meekatharra declined to apply to Lotterywest for emergency relief because Mrs Curley had used a substantial amount of her prize to help those in need in the town. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 25 of 109 Grants to Hospitals, Sport & Arts Support for our Health Services $100.0 A fixed percentage of all subscriptions to our games (40% of product sales after prizes are deducted equivalent to about 16% of sales) is allocated to the State’s Hospital Fund. Thanks to record sales during the year, this amount of almost $79 million, was the highest in Lotterywest’s history. While the expenditure of this is not identified as a discrete component within the health budget, this is a major contribution to the health and wellbeing of our community by WA’s lottery players. Millions $90.0 $80.0 $70.0 $60.0 2001 2002 Hospitals 2003 2004 Sports 2005 A rts • Through Lotterywest’s statutory funding, $97.64m was returned to the Western Australian community – $78m returned to Hospitals – $10m returned to the Arts – $10m returned to Sports Supporting the Arts, Sports and Recreation Our support for the arts and for sport is also determined as a fixed percentage of our lottery sales. Both areas receive 5% of our net subscriptions (equivalent to approximately 2% of sales turnover), $9.85 million each this year. This year we have worked with the Department of Sport and Recreation and the Department of Culture and the Arts in order to raise awareness of our contribution in these areas. Our aim is that those who are enjoying an artistic performance or cheering their favourite amateur sports team might be made aware that they are benefiting from Western Australia’s lottery players. The Arts Lotterywest annual support helps ensure that Western Australia continues to have a thriving arts community. The $9.85 million provided to ArtsWA provided core funding for major arts groups such as the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, the West Australian Ballet and the WA Opera Company. Others who benefited included the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art which hosts a range of diverse contemporary arts; Art on the Move which takes the visual arts and crafts to regional Western Australia and theatre groups such as Barking Gecko Theatre Company, Buzz Dance Theatre 26 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Support for our Community and Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, and Black Swan Theatre Company. The arts organisations supported by Lotterywest employ some of our State’s most creative artists across all art forms and genres, working in different communities throughout Western Australia. They include Fremantle based Kulcha developing arts in our multicultural society, DADAA working in the arts and disabilities area across the State, Steps Youth Dance Company providing young dancers with professional experiences in dance and the WA State Literature Centre supporting the development of Western Australian writing. In addition to this support for the arts made through the Department of Culture and the Arts, a significant number of Lotterywest grants were made during the year in support of community events, celebrations and for infrastructure for small cultural organisations. Lotterywest annual support helps ensure that Western Australia continues to have a thriving arts community. Perth International Arts Festival Lotterywest is the main source of funding for the University of Western Australia which runs the Perth International Arts Festival. Our grant of $4 million for the 2005 Festival was the second grant made under a commitment of up to $16 million for the 2004-07 festivals. The second Festival under the artistic direction of Lindy Hume continued to include strong community involvement and local arts organisations and to make use of regional centres. The 2005 Festival once again acknowledged Lotterywest as the Festival’s ‘Principal Partner’ in all communications and through naming rights to the opening, closing and film components. The opening event, presented under the title the Lotterywest Festival Overture, was a Festival highlight that brought together the WA Opera Company, the West Australian Symphony Orchestra and a large community choir in the Supreme Court Gardens. Similarly the Lotterywest Festival Finale saw 300 people dance together in a ‘ballroom spectacular’ in Forrest Place in Perth. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 27 of 109 The Lotterywest Film Season enjoyed attendances of almost 100,000 and was once again presented regionally as well as at the main venues, the Somerville Auditorium at the University of Western Australia and the Joondalup Pines at the campus of Edith Cowan University. Direct Grants $70.0 Millions $60.0 $50.0 Western Australian Film Industry $40.0 $30.0 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 • A total of $65.10m was returned to the Western Australian community as Direct Grants to charitable and community groups (excluding Grants written back) • 1,372 grants approved to 1,105 different organisations Together with the Perth International Arts Festival, WA’s film industry has been supported by Lotterywest since 1992 through an allocation provided to ScreenWest—a statutory agency of the Western Australian government. In 2004 a grant of $4 million was made as part of a total commitment of up to $12 million for the 2004-2006 period. Lotterywest support has helped a range of ScreenWest’s programs, including those which have helped maintain WA’s strengths in the areas of documentary and children’s television drama. Lotterywest’s contribution has also been vital to ScreenWest's ability to support the development of adult drama. This year ScreenWest established the Stepping Stone program in support of 50 minute drama productions and arranged and oversaw the internationally acclaimed Arista Residential Workshop, held for the first time in Western Australia. 10 feature film projects and their 10 creative teams descended into historic York, approximately 90 kilometres east of Perth, to collaborate and receive guidance from professional Script Development guru Stephen Cleary and his team. This last year has also seen Indigenous film making take a huge leap forward with a series of new funding and training opportunities being offered to Western Australian Indigenous film makers. After the critical and award winning success of a number of short films emerging from the first Deadly Yarns initiative, Lotterywest funding has provided a second 28 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Support for our Community opportunity for up to five Indigenous projects to be produced and screened again on ABC national television under the Deadly Yarns umbrella. Index (another Lotterywest funded Indigenous Initiative) will see the completion of an additional two short film projects. Overall film and television production activity has increased by 60% over the last two financial years from the previous two financial years - resulting in more Western Australian stories on national and world screens and increasing cultural and employment benefits to Western Australians. Sport and Recreation Tens of thousands of Western Australians benefit from Lotterywest’s annual contribution to the Department of Sport and Recreation. They range from young children enjoying weekend club sports to our elite athletes competing at national and international championships and the Olympic Games. In all, WA athletes won 12 Olympic medals……. In all Lotterywest provided more than $10 million through the Sports Lotteries Account for sport development in Western Australia to almost 100 State sporting associations and sporting groups representing sports as diverse as Gaelic athletics, callisthenics and cricket. This included $770,000 to support sport development initiatives in regional Western Australia. A major beneficiary is the WA Institute of Sport, whose success in developing elite WA athletes has been achieved with annual assistance from Lotterywest of $3.3 million. The 2004 Olympic Games Athens provided a showcase for this investment with 44 WAIS trained athletes included in Australia’s Olympic squad. In all, WA athletes won 12 Olympic medals in hockey, cycling, rowing, athletics and swimming, including gold medals won by WA cyclists and Australia’s national hockey team, the Kookaburras. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 29 of 109 ADVISORY COMMITTEES Voluntary advisory bodies of experts in the relevant fields provide technical and policy advice to assist Lotterywest in its grants and policy making. Their advice ensures that Lotterywest’s policies and funding decisions remain relevant and continue to ‘make a difference’ to the Western Australian community. We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of the following people, who have generously provided us with expert advice, and have contributed to policy development and grants allocation in 2005.

In addition to the funds provided Lotterywest also supports the development and maintenance of recreational walking trails through the annual $500,000 Trails Funding Program. Lotterywest Community Grants Our most direct support for our community is in the form of Lotterywest grants. Through these grants we help organisations in almost every part of the not-for-profit sector in Western Australia. Our grants range from those which support the most fundamental of welfare and emergency services to community celebrations and other developments which enhance our community for everyone. Under our legislation we are able to respond directly to grant requests from not-for-profit community organisations and local government authorities for purposes which are “charitable or benevolent”. In our grant making, we aim to be responsive, and flexible and to be a valued partner for our State’s vibrant community sector. We actively help our grant seekers to develop their projects and work with their other funding bodies and sponsors to maximise the benefits of our support. Five overarching objectives frame our grants activity and help applicant organisations to think creatively about their services and projects. Many grant requests we receive contribute to more than one of these, some even contribute to all. Extending the Capacity of Not-For-Profit Organisations These grants promote and support the organisational development of the not-for-profit sector by increasing the management and leadership skills of staff, volunteers and committee and board members. Strengthening Community Service Delivery These grants add to the infrastructure and service delivery of organisations providing important community services and activities, particularly those supporting disadvantaged people or groups. 30 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Support for our Community Enhancing Community Development Initiatives These grants support community development and community enterprise projects, and social research to improve the well being of communities and enable them to address important issues. Valuing our State’s Heritage These grants help to conserve important aspects of Western Australia’s heritage through conserving and interpreting our natural, built and cultural heritage and the recording of community histories. Advancing Participation in Community Life These grants support initiatives that encourage broad community involvement in social, cultural or recreation activities, particularly for people who face barriers to participation. Initiatives may include community facilities, events and celebrations, cultural group and special initiatives of statewide significance. We regularly review and enhance our grant making processes and policy to ensure that we are positioned to respond to changing community needs and aspirations and to complement other available funding. Examples during the year included a review of our grants finance policies, a revision of our policy in relation to organisations which are not GST registered and a review of our internal quality assurance program. Grant initiatives during the year included a program to support community participation through physical activity and enhancements to our support for telecentres, small cultural groups and for community events and celebrations.

The overhaul of the grants area of the Lotterywest website during the year resulted in a site that is contemporary and engaging in its look and feel, readily accessible and easy to navigate. As part of the development of a strong web-based presence we also launched ‘GrantEd’, Lotterywest’s enewsletter which provides the latest grants information, Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 31 of 109 advises of forthcoming grants seminars and showcases some of the important community projects we have been able to support. The scale, number and diversity of our grants mean that the lives of every Western Australian are in some way touched by a Lotterywest grant. During the year 1,372 grants totaling $65.1 million were made to 1,105 different organisations. A full list of organisations that received a Lotterywest grant is provided at the end of this report. The diversity of these grants is highlighted by the following few examples: The scale, number and diversity of our grants mean that the lives of every Western Australian are in some way touched by a Lotterywest grant. The Friends of Battye Library Inc lead a consortium of community organisations determined to respond to the need to preserve our State’s written history. A $3 million Lotterywest grant made during the year will enable this consortium to preserve significant historical records which are currently deteriorating and are at high risk of being permanently lost. The grant will ensure that important records including newspapers, photographs and films will be preserved and stored in a readily accessible digital format. The Heart Foundation of WA ended their long-term tenancy at Lotterywest premises in Rokeby Road, Subiaco when they received a grant for $1.808 million to purchase the premises. The building, which had been purchased in 1980 as Lotterywest’s head office, was sold in accordance with government property disposal requirements. The building had been tenanted by the Heart Foundation since 1992 along with other community organisations, including the current occupants – the Cancer Council of WA and Premier’s Physical Activity Taskforce. The premises will meet the Heart Foundation’s accommodation needs into the foreseeable future and will continue to be shared by the Foundation with other community organisations. The City of Swan embarked on a significant partnership with the Swan Districts Hospital during the year. With the support of a Lotterywest grant, the Aboriginal Mothers, Babies and Families Project will improve the quality of life of Aboriginal women and their children through culturally appropriate service delivery. The project will increase Aboriginal women’s access to maternal health services and 32 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Support for our Community aims to improve the health of babies born to Aboriginal families in the Swan area. The Men of the Trees received a grant of $55,600 to support its Million Trees Program, assisting school communities and other local community organisations involved in re-vegetation projects both in the country and in metropolitan areas. The grant helped provide shade houses, reticulation, racks and information packages and will help achieve the organisation’s goal to plant one million seedlings each year. Planned Individual Networks (PIN) helps families plan for the future care of their relative with a disability, both now and after the primary carer is no longer in a position to continue to provide the care needed. Families are helped to develop a ‘personal plan’ and mobilise community networks and other resources for the well-being, safety and security of people with disabilities. Lotterywest supported a twoyear project with a grant of $269,500. Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren is a relatively new organisation operated solely by volunteers which provides an informal meeting place for grandparents and grandchildren to come to socialise, enjoy respite and receive information and support. A grant of $3,600 during the year helped the group buy computers, office equipment and furniture. Fred Spratt honouring the memory of his father, Victor Nelson an indigenous veteran whose service to our country was posthumously acknowledged in 2003 Midland Women’s Health Care received a grant of $1.2 million in June towards the construction and fit out of a new purpose built facility on land provided by the City of Swan. This new facility will help provide better health services to over 12,000 women and their familles in the eastern suburbs and offer a much needed community meeting venue and accommodation for six smaller agencies.

By working together in this way, the prizes can be pooled offering the players much more attractive top prizes. There are four formal “Bloc” (the name by which this partnership is known) agreements which set the boundaries and framework for each of the national games. Each member of the Bloc contributes an equal percentage of their sales subscriptions towards the common prize pool and common dividends. Over 80% of Western Australia’s lottery revenue comes from Bloc products, making our national partnership crucial to our long-term success. With sometimes competing priorities, differences in markets and regulatory environment, joint planning can present challenges. Because the introduction of new products requires lengthy lead-time for the development of information technology, quite apart from the marketing strategy for the launch of new products, decisions about the timing of new products are complex. We continue to develop strategies that both strengthen our ties with our Bloc partners and balance our dependency on the Bloc games with State games. 34 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Business Development and Business Relationships International Networks The World Lottery Association (WLA) is an international member organisation representing 144 state authorised lotteries from 74 countries on all five continents, with combined annual revenues in excess of US$120 billion. The WLA also represents 63 lottery industry suppliers as Associate Members. The Asia Pacific Lottery Association (APLA) is one of 5 regional associations and has members throughout South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. WLA is working to develop a clear statement of social responsibility and other industry standards for its members, recognising that while the lottery industry must continue to grow to support its beneficiaries, this must be within a responsible framework. In November 2004, at the World Lottery Association Congress in Durban, Lotterywest CEO Jan Stewart was elected to the position of Vice President of the World Lottery Association. Following her resignation from the position of President of the Asia Pacific Lottery Association, a position held for the past five years. These strong international networks mean that we have an excellent capacity to monitor global developments in the lottery industry and to contribute actively to the development and debates. The secretariat of APLA continues to be provided by Lotterywest, led by Lorraine Driscoll, Director Strategic & Financial Management. This role includes management of the association’s financial matters, custodian of members register and information, co-ordination of annual general meetings, liaison with World Lottery Association and organisation of regional conferences. These strong international networks mean that we have an excellent capacity to monitor global developments in the lottery industry and to contribute actively to the development and debates. This year we received visits from our colleagues in Taiwan and Singapore who came on study tours to look at our business practices. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 35 of 109 Our People We take pride in our continuing reputation as an “employer of choice”, evidenced by consistently high levels of responses to our recruitment advertisements and a growing number of unsolicited approaches for work experience and employment. A range of staff-related performance indicators are included in our “People and Learning” scorecard and the development of motivated, engaged and skilled staff is a strategic objective for Lotterywest. Our Working Environment We place a high value on maintaining a family friendly workplace and offer flexible working arrangements, including working from home, part time employment and special arrangements for staff responsible for dependent family members. This was further enhanced in August 2004 with additional improved conditions of employment in the government’s Government Officers Salary and Conditions Award 2004 General Agreement. All staff have access to a range of opportunities for professional and personal development opportunities. Amongst the activities offered to our staff during the year were: 36 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 • A range of professional development training programs identified in individual development plans • access to a study assistance program • opportunities to represent Lotterywest at a wide range of events associated with Lotterywest grants and lottery product launches • a Lotterywest funded Social Club which staged a variety of social activities during the year. The Social Club has also been actively involved in coordinating a number of fund raising activities to support community based charities • a formalised corporate “Wellness Program” providing access to trained health professionals to measure, monitor and support the physical and personal well being of our staff • access to an Employee Assistance Program including grief/trauma counselling services Our People • a new internal staff consultative committee known as the Lotterywest Community Voice • Access to an Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare committee We have a team of very long serving loyal staff. This has provided us with stability and we have benefited greatly from the retained experience, and wisdom of our people. It does mean that we must also ensure skills and competences remain relevant for today’s business needs and that we must plan for the development of new staff as older members begin to retire. Our staff numbers have increased during the year to resource major projects and provide improved services to our stakeholders, in particular our retailers. In 2005/06 we will make major changes to our accommodation arrangements to ensure that we can provide suitable accommodation for our staff and the additional contractors needed on various projects, particularly the replacement of our technology platform. This will also provide a greatly improved environment for our retailer services and training. O ur st af f num be r s h av e increased during the year to resource major projects and provide improved services to our stakeholders in particular our retailers. Lotterywest People Program The Lotterywest People Program includes a range of strategies to ensure that we have well trained staff with alignment of individual performance and organisational outcomes. This program incorporates a number of initiatives including: • A personal coaching program for Directors and a number of line managers • Coaching for Line Managers to improve their ability to provide feedback and coaching for their team members • Annual performance and feedback appraisals between staff and line managers against agreed key result areas and capabilities • Individual Development Plans • An employee recognition award system based on Lotterywest’s brand values • Development of Lotterywest’s Integrity in the Workplace project Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 37 of 109 Staff Statistics 2005 2004 FTE’s Approved 155.4 151.1 FTE’s Actual 159.0 153.7 Full Time Staff 169 165 Part Time Staff 19 22 Total Staff 169 165 New Staff 21 31 Resignations 9 16 Contract Cessations 8 13 This project presents an opportunity to translate our brand values into day to day work practices. Through a series of workshops, our people will embark on an exploration of the ethical dimensions of their work, guided by a framework to guide their decision-making. Ultimately, all employees will take on a personal leadership role in “living” the Lotterywest values to further enhance the overall performance of our organisation. BETTER SERVICES : BETTER PLANNING The Government’s Public Sector Annual Reporting Framework instructs Agencies to report against the Better Services: Better Planning methodology in their annual report. The following is provided to comply with these requirements. PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES Work Place Reform Staff Age Categories Females Males 16 - 20 1 2 21 - 30 9 6 31 - 40 24 18 41 - 50 29 24 51 - 60 30 17 61 - 70 6 3 Total Staff 99 70 During 2004/05 we introduced a number of enhanced employment conditions resulting from the implementation of the government’s General Agreement. This included annual salary increases of 3.8% and 3.6% which were provided across the public sector; increases in purchased leave provisions and the amalgamation of sick leave, carer’s and short leave into “personal” leave. A Joint Consultative Committee comprising of CSA/CPSU union delegates and Lotterywest executive management members in accordance with the provisions contained in the General Agreement was established in the past year. New policies and guidance notes were adopted to provide for the new conditions introduced by industrial agreement changes. Examples of these included personal leave access and approvals, new provisions around purchased leave and flexi days, and cashing in long service leave. Staff who are not members of the Union have equal access to the CEO through the recently established “Lotterywest Community Voice”. OHS and Welfare During 2004/05 Lotterywest experienced an increase in reported occupational safety and health incidents. These were largely the result of an increased number of ergonomic related incidents. 38 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Our People An external consultant was engaged to conduct a comprehensive occupational health and safety audit of Lotterywest’s work environment. The resultant report made 110 recommendations on various risks identified in our workplace. A designated project officer was appointed on a short term basis to implement the recommendations contained in the report and this will be finalised toward the end of 2005. The review of vehicle safety was completed, resulting in a new policy and mandatory training for identified staff in driver safety will commence in August 2005. Worker’s Compensation and Rehabilitation In 2004/05 Lotterywest received 12 claims for worker’s compensation and six of these claims resulted in lost time. This is a significant increase over previous years. The 236.5 days of lost time were largely attributed to two cases where more serious injuries were incurred (one was an off-site accident and the other related to ergonomics in the office environment). Independent ergonomic assessments of the work area affected have been undertaken to reduce future such incidents. In addition, the implementation of the OH&S review is expected to reduce workplace injuries through information and education of all staff and line managers. An external consultant was engaged to conduct a comprehensive occupational health and safety audit of Lotterywest’s work environment. Industrial Relations Lotterywest’s Joint Consultative Committee negotiated the terms and conditions of the 2005 Lotterywest Agency Specific Agreement which was put to ballot to Lotteywest union members, accepted and ratified by the WAIRC in January 2005. Disability Services Plan Outcomes Lotterywest continues to support its Disability Services Plan, which promotes equality of community participation and quality of life for people with disabilities. As part of this commitment, recent refurbishments have ensured that workstations have been designed to comply with disability requirements. The new Lotterywest retail identity (shopfit) incorporates disability access in two areas: the retail counter modules include a universally accessible module and the new standard issue players' bench is set at universal access height. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 39 of 109 Our representation of people with disabilities has increased from 4.1% to 5.2%, exceeding our 2005 target of 4.6%. This representation has more than doubled in a two year period. Cultural Diversity People for Culturally Diverse Backgrounds Our representation of people from culturally diverse backgrounds is 15% of total staff. This compares favorably to the Equity and Diversity Plan target of 18.4%. Our Equity Index at 78.5% is above the 2005 target of 70%. Indigenous Australians Lotterywest has allocated annual funding for specific employee programs to attract Indigenous Australians to our workforce. Currently there are no Indigenous Australians employed by Lotterywest. Our youth representation increased this year as a result of targeted recruitment initiatives aimed at increasing the representation of youth at Lotterywest. Youth Outcomes Our youth representation increased this year as a result of targeted recruitment initiatives aimed at increasing the representation of youth at Lotterywest. This year we made significant progress towards achieving our target of 4.6% of staff to be under 25 years of age. Equal Employment Opportunity Outcomes Lotterywest continues to apply its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) principles through the EEO Plan complemented by the Human Resources Management Manual and the Industrial Agreements. There was one formal staff grievance recorded for the year. This was managed in accordance with standard grievance procedures.

In our endeavour to continuously improve our effectiveness and efficiency in the use of our resources, Lotterywest recently completed an organisational restructure. This resulted in the formation of two new and distinct, yet related directorates, Strategic and Financial Management Services; and Business Development. In our endeavour to continuously improve our effectiveness and efficiency in the use of our resources, Lotterywest recently completed an organisational restructure. The focus of these two business units is to ensure that the integration of planning and business development together contribute to a sustainable future for Lotterywest and includes operations relating to: • Aligning our planning to the State Strategic Planning Framework • Effective collaborative functionality between business development and planning • Review and realignment of Strategic and Corporate Planning, including Lotterywest Business Plan • The use of Business Intelligence for analysis and decision-making; including strategy formulation • Effective resource allocation and utilisation through the operations of the Project Office • The monitoring and reporting of Key Performance Indicators • The identification of appropriate distribution methods of lottery products and services. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 55 of 109 Future Technological Advancements Both the central gaming system and the network of terminals have exhibited world-class standards of reliability and integrity and have met an extremely onerous availability target of 99.90% of set trading hours. Our business, and in particular the operation and distribution of our lottery games, relies on a sophisticated and specialised technology platform. A central gaming system at Lotterywest headquarters is linked online to lottery terminals in every outlet selling our Lotto products. This gaming system and our business systems environment have provided excellent service over the last year. Both the central gaming system and the network of terminals have exhibited world-class standards of reliability and integrity and have met an extremely onerous availability target of 99.90% of set trading hours. This result has been achieved by means of a risk-averse design philosophy underlying system implementation and configuration, a high standard of change control and rigorous operational control processes. Extensive preventative maintenance programs have extended the reliability of the terminals while a focus on Retailer training has reduced the potential for terminal failure due to inappropriate use. Despite these achievements it is clear that the technology environment that has served us well for the last five years is unlikely to do so for the next five years. The technology is approaching the end of its inherent lifetime, and perhaps more importantly, is increasingly unsuitable to meet the changing requirements of our business. Management Information Systems and Enterprise Resource Planning In addition to the gaming system, Lotterywest is exploring the need to update the information technology architecture which supports our business processes in the areas of Finance, Human Resources, Workflow, Management Information Systems, Business Intelligence Systems and Customer Relationship Management Systems. 56 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Planning & Business Development The need to progress to a single consolidated system which incorporates all of the business to achieve maximum benefit from our investments in technology while maintaining data integrity is clearly evident. The take up of enterprise resource planning systems is increasing as organisations continue to work towards enhanced productivity within existing cost restraints. In response, during the year we began the process of scoping our technology requirements for the next ten years. As highlighted earlier in this report, the implementation of a new technology platform will affect every part of our business and will be one of the most challenging projects Lotterywest has ever undertaken. Consumer expectations for the delivery of our products and services are changing with an increasing take up of new technology by our players. For Lotterywest as for most businesses, this is forcing major changes in business processes as well as putting pressure on cost structures through the need to continually invest significant funds in technology and changing service delivery models. ….. the implementation of a new technology platform will affect every part of our business and will be one of the most challenging projects Lotterywest has ever undertaken. Product Development The Australian lottery industry has been regarded as a mature market now for a number of years with limited opportunities for growth. The type of product offered varies minimally in game mechanics (eg lotto style games with varying sequence and jackpot levels) and the distribution of products remains primarily through either kiosk or newsagency based small businesses. The overall cost of selling our products (advertising and promoting) continues to increase whilst the level of sales growth is relatively small. Early in the new financial year, we will see a relaunch of the first national Australian Lotto game, OZ Lotto, which was first launched in 1994. We are confident that these changes, made in partnership with our Bloc colleagues, will improve the game and make it more attractive to the players. The global gambling industry (particularly casino and online gambling) has continued to grow rapidly. The Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 57 of 109 The lottery industry is at a critical stage in its development, facing more competition today than at any time in the industry’s history 58 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 lottery industry is at a critical stage in its development, facing more competition today than at any time in the industry’s history. Internet gambling, particularly the harder forms of gambling, casino style gambling, online poker, and other casino style games have become increasingly popular. We will continue to monitor the industry and seek new and alternative ways to operate our business effectively and efficiently.

In accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 904, these indicators have been selected as fulfilling the required qualitative characteristics; relevance, appropriateness, verifiability, freedom from bias and quantifiability. The indicators are supported by explanatory notes where necessary. Two distinct types of indicators are identified: Effectiveness indicators - measure the extent to which outcomes are achieved; and Efficiency indicators - compare resources input against resulting outputs. The inputs to Lotterywest performance indicators are generally resources, however in measuring the performance of the community funding function the inputs include lottery product revenues, which is an output from selling lotteries products. The resources used by Lotterywest are the expenses incurred in raising revenue (selling lotteries products) and distributing funds (the community funding function). The outputs of Lotterywest are the provision of lotteries products (measured as sales revenues) and the provision of funds to the community of Western Australia. These are also shown in the Output Summary Tables of this Report. Lotterywest uses population figures provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in calculating its performance indicators. The total population of Western Australia is used for Community Funding Indicators as all Western Australians obtain benefit from the community funding grants programs. Conversely, only the adult population figures are used for Lottery Product Indicators as only adults are permitted to purchase lotteries products. 66 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Annual Report 2005 PERFORMANCE INDICATOR TABLES Community Funding Indicators Note s 2005 Actual 2005 Target 2004 2003 2002 2001 Effectiveness Total Approved Funding per Capita a,b, $81.23 $77.53 $77.12 $73.97 $70.11 $71.39 c 31.29% 30.43% 30.19% 29.55% 29.81% 29.88% d $2.27 $2.33 $2.34 $2.42 $2.43 $2.44 Efficiency Total Approved Funding as % of Sales Total Costs per $ of Approved Funding Lottery Product Indicators 2005 Actual 2005 Target 2004 2003 2002 2001 a,e, $332.81 $326.65 $327.50 321.03 302.82 308.84 f 36.05% 36.05% 36.20% 35.25% 34.23% 33.83% g 6.01% 6.16% 6.20% 6.01% 6.10% 5.98% 2005 Target 2004 2003 2002 2001 Notes Effectiveness Total Sales per Adult Trading Profit as a % of Sales Efficiency Gaming Expenses as a % of Sales Base Data 2005 Actual Total Population (M) 2.0036 2.0036 1.9770 1.9608 1.9334 1.9056 Adult Population (M) Total Funding excluding write backs ($M) Sales ($M) Costs ($M) * Trading Profit ($M) * 1.5628 1.5628 1.5420 1.5290 1.5015 1.4740 162.74 155.34 152.47 145.03 135.56 136.04 520.10 369.11 187.50 510.49 361.69 184.02 505.01 356.80 182.80 490.85 350.41 173.06 454.69 329.79 155.69 455.24 331.38 154.03 31.26 31.43 31.33 29.52 27.75 27.21 Gaming Expenses ($M) * For the purpose of these Indicators, Goods and Services Tax has been excluded from Costs and Trading Profit calculations. (a) Base data population figures are sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics publication - ABS POPULATION PROJECTIONS 3222.0 2002 TO 2101. b) This measure relates to Lotterywest’s Statement of Intent “to provide funds and support to the community of Western Australia…” Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 67 of 109 The favourable sales result for 2005 of $520.10M enabled the indicator target to be exceeded and the return of $162.74M (excluding write backs) to the WA community; an increase of $10.27M from 2003/04. (c) This measure shows the efficiency of Lotterywest in converting its sales revenue to community funding. This year Lotterywest was able to approve 31.29% of sales as funding for the community, well above the target of 30.43%. This target is also in excess of the Act governing the Lotteries Commission that calculates that approximately 27.5% of sales must be returned in funding to the Western Australian community. (d) This measure shows the extent to which Lotterywest has maximised community funding allocations and contained growth in expenditure. Total costs include prizes, retailer’s commissions, gaming expenses and grants administration expenses. Despite the expensing of costs associated with the redesign of Lotterywest retail outlets, this performance measure and favourable to target result has continued to improve as a consequence of enhanced processing efficiencies across all areas of operations and cost containment. (e) This measure shows the effectiveness of Lotterywest in promoting and communicating its product message to the adult population and the subsequent attractiveness of the Lotterywest’s products to the players. Note: adult population refers to the number of Western Australians of 16 years and over. This age group is permitted, by the Act, to purchase Lotterywest’s products The record sales result of $520.11 million is $15.10 million greater than last year and $9.60 million above the 2004/05 sales target. This performance contributed to the favourable to target result. The national games of Saturday Lotto, Oz Lotto and Powerball combined provided 82% of total sales revenue. The other major contributor was Scratch’n’Win which provided 16% of total sales revenue while the games of Super 66, Soccer Pools and Cash 3 contributed 2%. (f) This measure shows the effectiveness of Lotterywest in generating surpluses from sales revenues. Trading profit is total sales revenue from lottery products less prizes and retailers’ commissions paid. Goods and Services Tax has been excluded from the calculations of these indicators. The surpluses are then available for distribution to the community subsequent to the deduction of the Lotterywest’s operating costs and making appropriate provisions for future capital expenditures. Performance was in line with target. (g) This indicator shows the rate at which Lotterywest expenses funds in generating sales revenues. Gaming expenses are the total operating expenses excluding grants administration expenses and the carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of during the year. The favourable to target result of 6.01% was largely the result of cost containment and enhanced processing efficiencies. 68 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Annual Report 2005 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 69 of 109 70 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Statement of Financial Performance For the year ended 30 June 2005 Revenue from Ordinary Activities Revenue from Operating activities Trading Profit Interest Forfeited Prizes Retailer Fees Player Registration Service Fee Revenue from non-operating activities Proceeds from Disposal of Non-Current Assets Other Revenue from Ordinary Activities Notes 2005 $000 2004 $000 2 3 4 5 166,708 11,028 4,849 2,778 595 162,618 9,119 5,270 2,496 727 6 7 1,803 234 0 112 187,995 180,342 1,144 5,480 5,551 1,567 12,367 5,136 19 1,039 6,246 5,539 2,005 12,522 3,916 34 31,264 31,301 Total Revenue from Ordinary Activities Expenses from Ordinary Activities Expenses from Lotteries Operations Building & Facility Management Corporate Management Gaming System Management Non-Gaming System Management Product Management Retail Network Management Carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of 9 10 11 12 13 14 Total expenses from Lotteries Operations Expenses from Grants & Community Development Carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of Expenses from Grant & Community Development 6 16 1,536 3,706 0 3,278 Total Expenses after Grants & Community Development Expenses Community Funding 17 36,506 161,604 34,579 151,256 198,110 185,835 Total Expenses from Ordinary Activities Loss from ordinary activities before grants ands subsidies from State Government 18 (10,115) (5,493) Grant and subsidies from State Government 18 20,801 20,172 10,686 14,679 725 725 0 0 11,411 14,679 Net Profit Net increase in asset revaluation reserve Total revenues, expenses and valuation adjustments recognised directly in equity TOTAL CHANGES IN EQUITY 26 Other than those resulting from transactions with WA State Government as owners The Statement of Financial Performance should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 73 of 109 Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30 June 2005 1. Significant Accounting Policies The following accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financial statements. Unless otherwise stated these policies are consistent with those adopted in the previous year. General Statement The financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Statement of Accounting Concepts and other authorised pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and Urgent Issues Group (UIG) Consensus views as applied by the State Treasurer’s Instructions. Several of these are modified by the Treasurer’s Instructions to vary application, disclosure, format and wording. The Financial Administration and Audit Act and the Treasurer’s Instructions are legislative provisions governing the preparation of financial statements and take precedence over Australian Accounting Standards, Statement of Accounting concepts and other authorised pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and UIG Consensus views. The modifications are intended to fulfil the requirements of general application to the public sector together with the need for greater disclosure and also to satisfy accountability requirements. If any such modification has a material or significant financial effect upon the reported results, details of that modification and, where practicable, the resulting financial effect, are disclosed in individual notes to these financial statements. Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using the historical cost convention, with the exception of certain non-current assets which, subsequent to initial recognition, have been measured on the fair value basis in accordance with the option under AASB 1041(5.1) (see notes 1(e) and 22). a) Revenue recognition Sales revenue representing gross sales of all games of Lotto, Cash 3, Soccer Pools and Super 66, is recorded as at the date of the respective draw. Sales of instant lottery tickets are recorded when books of tickets are issued to Retailers. However, this policy changed on 23 May 2005 for Instant lottery tickets where sales are recognised when books of tickets are activated. The reason is to closer allign revenue recognition to the point of sale activity. Interest from investment is recognised at the amount due and receivable at year end. b) Acquisitions of Assets The cost method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given up or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus incidental costs directly attributable to the acquisitions. Assets acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration are initially recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition. c) Depreciation of non-current assets All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of their future economic benefits. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed annually. Useful lives for each class of depreciable asset are: Buildings (excluding Land) Equipment and Fittings Computer Equipment Computer Software 50 years 5 to 10 years 5 to 8 years 5 to 8 years Works of art owned by Lotteries Commission are anticipated to have very long and indeterminate useful lives. Their service potential has not, in any material sense, been consumed during the reporting period. Consequently, no amount for depreciation has been recognised in respect of these assets. 74 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Notes to Financial Statements d) Work in Progress No depreciation is provided during construction of Assets or on holding costs of Community Projects that are subsequently transferred as a direct grant. Costs associated with assets under development for use by Lotteries Commission are recognised as work in progress. Once completed, the assets are transferred to the appropriate asset account and are depreciated or amortised, as appropriate. e) Revaluation of Property, Plant and Equipment With the introduction of AASB 1041, Lotteries Commission agreed on a policy of valuing property and works of art at fair value, with all other assets being valued at cost. The annual revaluations of Lotteries Commission’s property undertaken by the Department of Land Information (valuation service) are recognised in the financial statements if they differ materially from the carrying value. f) Leases Lotteries Commission has a whole of government operating lease arrangement for motor vehicles, where the lessors retain effectively all of the risks and benefits incident to the ownership of the leased vehicles. Equal instalments of the lease payments are charged to the Statement of Financial Performance over the lease term, as this is representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased vehicles. g) Inventories Inventories are valued, on the first-in first-out basis, at the lower of cost or net realisable value. h) Receivables Accounts receivable are recognised at their face value as they are generally due for settlement no more than thirty days from the date of recognition. The extent to which receivables are expected to be collectable is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to be uncollectable, are written off. A provision for doubtful debts is raised when some doubt exists as to collection. i) Investments Investments are brought to account at cost. If there is a permanent diminution in the value of investments, a provision for diminution is made. j) Net Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial instruments traded in an organised financial market (traded securities) are valued on the basis of current quoted market value. Monetary financial assets and liabilities not traded in an organised financial market are valued on the cost basis of carrying amounts of receivables, payables and accruals (which approximates net market value). k) Payables Payables, including amounts not yet billed, are recognised when Lotterywest becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of assets or services. Other than payables in respect of prizes and grants (see 1(l) and 1(m)), settlement generally occurs within 30 days. l) Prizes Division 1 prizes are paid two weeks after the date of the draw, subject to claim. The majority of other prizes are claimed and paid within a few days of the draw taking place. Revenues and prize liabilities are recognised by draw for Lotto, Super 66, Cash 3 and Soccer Pools and by shipment to Retailers for instant lotteries. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 75 of 109 Notes to Financial Statements m) Grants to Eligible Organisations Grants are recognised when approved by the Minister. Unconditional grants are paid in full within days of the Minister’s approval. Conditional grants are paid as and when conditions are fulfilled. If a grant is refunded but it is expected that it will be reissued, the amount is credited to the grant liability, otherwise the amount is written back. When a grant is written back regardless of when it was approved, it is treated as a reduction of the current year’s grant expenditure. n) Employee Benefits Annual Leave This benefit is recognised at current remuneration rates plus on costs and is measured at the amount unpaid at the reporting date in respect to employees’ service up to that date. Long Service Leave A liability for long service leave is recognised, after three years’ service, and is measured at current remuneration rates plus on costs, but taking account of any expected future pay increases. Superannuation Staff may contribute to the Pension Scheme, a defined benefits pension scheme now closed to new members, or to the Gold state Superannuation Scheme, a defined benefit lump sum scheme now also closed to new members. All staff who do not contribute to either of these schemes become non-contributory members of the West State Superannuation Scheme, an accumulation fund. The Lotteries Commission contributes to this accumulation fund in compliance with the Commonwealth Government’s Superannuation Guatantee (Administration) Act 1992. All of these schemes are administered by the Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB). The Pension Scheme and the pre-transfer for employees who transferred to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme are unfunded and the liability for future payments are provided for at reporting date. The liabilities for superannuation charges under the Gold State Superannuation Scheme and West State Superannuation are extinguished by payment of Lotteries Commission contributions to the GESB. The note disclosure required by paragraph 6.10 of AASB 1028 (being Lotteries Commission’s share of the difference between employees’ accrued superannuation benefits and the attributable net market value of plan assets) has not been provided. State scheme deficiencies are recognised by the State in its whole of government reporting. The GESB’s records are not structured to provide the information for Lotteries Commission. Accordingly, deriving the information for Lotteries Commission is impractical under current arrangements, and thus any benefits thereof would be exceeded by the cost of obtaining the information. Employee benefit on-costs Associated payroll and worker compensation insurance on costs were included in the determination of the provisions. o) Accrued Salaries Accrued salaries represent the amount due to staff but unpaid at the end of the financial year and are normally included in other creditors and accruals. p) Resources received free of charge or for nominal value Resources received free of charge or for nominal value which can be measured reliably, are recognised as revenues and as assets or expenses, as appropriate, at fair value. q) Foreign Currency Translation and Hedges Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the rates in existence at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency receivables and payables at reporting date are translated at exchange rates current at reporting dates. Exchange gains and losses (if any) are brought to account in determining the result for the year. 76 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Notes to Financial Statements r) Comparative figures Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures presented in the current financial year. s) Rounding Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar. t) Retailer Interest Free Loans Under the terms and conditions of the Lotteries Commission Shopfit project, Retailers may apply for an interest free loan to assist in the undertaking of required works. These loans are managed through the Commonwealth Bank with interest being paid by Lotteries Commission. u) Disclosing the Impact of Adopting Australian Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). A working group has been established to oversee Lotteries Commission’s readiness for implementation of IFRS. The working group comprises of senior finance staff members who are responsible for the financial reporting and development of accounting policies in compliance with the Australian Accounting Standards. The working group provides progressive reports to the Director, Corporate and Financial Services and the Audit Committee. Training has also been provided to the working group by attending the IFRS seminars conducted by the professional Accounting firms and the Department of Treasury and Finance. There are no significant impacts to Lotteries Commission’s financial reporting and changes to accounting policies in regard to the adoption of ‘Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards’. The following are a summary of some of the changes that are required as a result of the adoption of the ‘International Financial Reporting Standards’. AASB 1 – First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalent to International Financial Reporting Standards This requires preparation of an opening Balance Sheet at 1 July 2004 and also disclosure of 2004/05 financial report comparatives. AASB 102 – Inventories This requires a new class, ‘inventories held for distribution’. This applies to inventories held for distribution to Lotterywest Retailers. AASB 116 – Property, Plant and Equipment This requires Property to be measured at fair value. Currently, all Lotteries Commission properties are stated at fair value. AASB 119 – Employee Benefits Currently, Lotteries Commission only provides annual leave and long service leave for employees. Although the standard requires employee benefits to include sick leave and other non-monetary benefits that are payable 12 months or more after the end of the reporting period. However, these benefits are immaterial in value based on historic records. The change also includes the measurement of employee benefit liabilities which must be stated at present value. The employees’ on costs (payroll tax and workers’ compensation insurance) will now be classified under other provisions instead of provision for employees’ benefits. Management have reviewed the quantitative impacts using their best estimates available at the time of preparing the 30 June 2005 financial statements. From its review, it is anticipated that there are no significant impacts on the Lotteries Commission’s financial statements for adopting AIFRS. However, this may change in circumstances where the accounting standards and /or interpretations applicable to the first AIFRS financial statements are amended or revised.

The prize pool is supplemented from time to time by additional prizes, the values of which are included in the totals above. Retailers are paid a commission for the sale of all products and Player Registration Service (PRS) subscriptions. PRS commission is deducted from reported PRS sales (see note 5). 78 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Notes to Financial Statements 3.

They are separated from other operating expenses in order that the financial performance is readily comparable with that of other lottery jurisdictions where the distribution of funds is an external function. 2005 $000 Funding Operations & Administration Marketing – Grants & Community Development Staff Costs Lotteries Houses – Depreciation Overhead Allocation from Other Activities 82 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 2004 $000 37 14 1,824 23 1,808 47 41 1,568 28 1,594 3,706 3,278 Notes to Financial Statements 17.

Goods and Services Tax The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not applied to the consumption of gambling services. It is however, applied to the operators’ margin defined as the subscription (wagering less sales commission) less the amount of prizes. Accordingly the State provides reimbursement to gambling operators (including Lotteries) for GST paid on the operators’ margin. Lotteries Commission applies the reimbursement to maintain the level of community funding. The GST paid on the operator’s margin is disclosed as a cost of producing trading profit (see note 2). Treasurers’ Instruction 1102, however, requires the reimbursement to the GST to be disclosed as a grant from the State Government rather than offset against the cost to which it applies.

Explanatory Statement The following tables provide details of significant variations between actual revenues and expenditures for the financial year compared with the corresponding items for the preceding year and the corresponding items in the budget. Significant variations are considered to be those in excess of 10% or where the amount is deemed significant in context. Significant Variations between Actual Revenues and Expenditures for 2004/2005 and Actual Revenues and Expenditures for 2003/2004 Revenue Interest Retailer Fees Player Registration Service Fee Proceeds from Disposal of Non-Current Assets Other Revenue from Ordinary Activities Expenses Building & Facility Management Corporate Management Non-Gaming System Management Retail Network Management Grants & Community Development Expenses from Grants & Community Development – Carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of 2005 Actual $000 2004 Actual $000 Variance Variance $000 % 11,028 2,778 595 1,803 234 9,119 2,496 727 0 112 1,909 282 (132) 1,803 122 20.9 11.3 (18.2) 100.0 108.9 1,144 5,480 1,567 5,136 3,706 1,039 6,246 2,005 3,916 3,278 105 (766) (438) 1,220 428 10.1 (12.3) (21.8) 31.2 13.1 1,536 0 1,536 100.0 29.1 Interest The 2004/2005 Investment Portfolio averaged $199.6 million, $29.0 million higher than last year ($170.6 million). The size of portfolio combined with the higher rate of 5.53% (5.29% last year) contributed to the favourable variance of $1.91 million in interest revenue. 29.2 Retailer Fees The increase in Retailer Fees is due to changes to the structure of Powerball Lotto in February 2005 when a Service Support Fee of 0.5% of subscription sales was introduced. This accounts for $0.280 million of additional charges. 29.3 Players Registration Service Fee Reduction of income from the Player Registration Service results from the changes to the service introduced in August 2003. The current card is providing registration coverage of 5 years in comparison to 2 years previously at the same price. 29.4 Procees from Disposal of Non-Current Assets The significant increase is related to disposal of the Lotterywest’s property in Subiaco, Perth. The net result of this disposal is a gain of $0.264 million. The book value of the property on disposal is $1.54 million and is recorded under Expenses from Grants & Community Develop – Carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of. Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 89 of 109 Notes to Financial Statements 29.5 Other Revenue from Ordinary Activities Grants refunded and a significant insurance claim for workers compensation (of $35,000) contributed to the favourable variance in other revenue this financial year. 29.6 Building & Facility Management An independent security audit initiated last year resulted in a range of minor works to provide improved security measures. The implementation of these this year contributed to this variance. 29.7 Corporate Management Savings in corporate management are offset by the expenditure in the retail management area. Previously costs relating to the new corporate identity, were recorded as a corporate management expense, this year costs of $0.66 millions are now recorded in retail management. A re-structure of the corporate services directorate resulted in the costs associated with despatch activities to retail network also contributed to the variances. 29.8 Non-Gaming System Management A number of factors contributed to the non-gaming expenses being lower than last year. Including improvements to the maintenance work on the new computer system. A favourable US dollar exchange rate contributed to the variance. 29.9 Retail Network Management See note 29.7 – Corporate Management. 29.10 Grants & Community Development An increase in staff salaries contributed to the increase in funding management costs. The re-structure of the corporate services directorate resulted in the transfer of the financial services team to grants & community development. 29.11 Expenses from Grants & Community Development – Carrying amount of Non-Current Assets Disposed Of This item refers to the book value carried for the Lotterywest property at Subiaco, Perth that was disposed of during the year. The proceeds from this sale are detailed under Revenue from Non-Operating Activities - Proceeds from Disposal of Non-Current Assets (see also note 6). Significant Variations between Estimated Revenue and Expenses for 2004/2005 and Actual Revenues and Expenses for 2004/2005 2005 2004 Variance Variance Actual Actual $000 $000 $000 % Revenue Sales Interest Players Registration Service Other Operating Revenue Proceeds from Disposal of Non-Current Assets Expenses Non-Gaming System Management Retail Network Management Expenses from Grants & Community Development – Carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of 90 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 520,108 11,028 595 234 1,803 510,494 9,000 460 195 0 9,614 2,028 135 39 1,803 1.9 22.5 29.3 20.0 100.0 1,567 5,136 2,756 4,390 (1,189) 746 (43.1) 17.0 1,536 0 1,536 100.0 Notes to Financial Statements 29.12 Sales Total sales for 2004/05 financial year were $9.61 million (1.9%) above budget. Both Oz Lotto and Saturday Lotto contributed to the above budget sales performance. Oz Lotto jackpotted frequently in the first part of the year reaching $15M Jackpot for the second time in the game’s history. Saturday Lotto recorded sales above budget on base weeks and excellent results for all Super / Mega Draws. 29.13 Interest The above budget interest revenue was due to a significant difference in the size of the investment portfolio. 2004/05 Investment portfolio averaged $199.6 million while the budget was based on an average fund size of $160.3 million. 29.14 Players Registration Service Players Registration Service was re-launched in August 2003 and the charge for the service increased. The current card is providing coverage for 5 years in comparison to 2 years previously and the service has became more popular than anticipated. 29.15 Other Operating Revenue Salaries reimbursed from insurance claim for workers compensation was the main factor that contributed to greater than budgeted income in other revenue. 29.16 Proceeds from Disposal of Non-Current Assets Proceeds totalling $1.8m relate to the sale of Lotterywest property at Subiaco, Perth. This event was not budgeted for in 2004/2005. 29.17 Non-Gaming System Management Savings in non-gaming expenses is mainly due to savings in maintenance work required for the newly replaced PCs. Better than budgeted exchange rate for the $US dollars as well as the delay in some capital projects resulting in depreciation savings. 29.18 Retail Network Management A re-structure of Corporate Services Directorate, resulted in a relocation of costs associated with despatch activities to Retail Network, which were not included in the budget, contributed to the above budget in this area, Greater than budgeted work relating to the new Lotterywest’s shopfit also contributed to the variance. 29.19 Expenses from Grants & Community Development – Carrying amount of non-current assets disposed of This item refers to the book value carried for the Lotterywest property at Subiaco, Perth that was disposed of during the year (see also note 29.15) The disposal of this property was not budgeted for in 2004/2005 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 91 of 109 Notes to Financial Statements 30.

Other Income Other Income for 2005/06 will provide $18.2m in revenue, with investment income being the major contributor with a budget of $10.0m. Operating Expenses 2005/06 will be a very challenging year. A number of projects have been scheduled that will have a significant impact on the resources and operational capacity of Lotterywest. The Australia Lotto Bloc has already signalled a price rise for Saturday Lotto, the possibility of introducing a new mid-week game and a review of Super 66 and its potential replacement. These projects combined with the continued emphasis on further improving our distribution strategies and relationship with the network and the necessity to review and update our infrastructure technology and gaming system to meet the demands of the rapidly changing market environment will provide the foundation for the future success of Lotterywest. An expense budget has been compiled that focuses on achieving our corporate objectives while still meeting our expense to sales ratio of less than 7%. 96 of 109 Lotterywest Annual Report 2005 Five Year Summary of Financial Data To the Year Ended 30 June 2006 Statement of Financial Performance 2002 Actual $000 2003 Actual $000 2004 Actual $000 2005 Actual $000 2006 Budget $000 454,686 490,850 505,009 520,108 539,725 266,393 32,607 280,389 37,402 282,352 39,867 291,354 41,245 301,586 43,946 5,958 4,526 1,535 443 0 323 7,390 4,693 2,018 336 0 120 9,119 5,270 2,496 727 0 112 11,028 4,849 2,778 595 1,803 234 10,000 4,450 3,226 460 0 36 Net Revenue from Ordinary Activities 168,471 187,616 200,514 208,796 212,365 Less Expenses Operating Expenses Grants & Community Development 27,729 3,034 29,524 3,080 31,301 3,278 32,800 3,706 33,535 4,033 Profit from Ordinary Activities 137,708 155,012 165,935 172,290 174,797 Less Community Funding 134,722 143,925 151,256 161,604 164,616 2,986 11,087 14,679 10,686 10,182 70,743 24,587 51,680 89,623 19,203 50,128 132,683 29,900 35,529 139,786 18,037 43,435 155,732 23,775 24,567 147,010 158,954 198,112 201,258 204,074 89,758 90,615 115,094 106,829 101,136 57,252 68,339 83,018 94,429 102,938 Sales Revenue Less Cost of Sales Prizes Retailers’ Commission Add Other Revenue Interest Forfeited Prizes Retailer Fees Players Registration Service Fee Proceeds on Disposals of Non Current Assets Other Operating Revenue Net Profit Assets Investments Other Current Assets Non-Current Assets Total Assets Liabilities Net Assets This table is included as a supplement to the Annual Report to provide the reader with an overview of the Commission’s performance and expectations.
