Chairman’s Report
I am pleased to report on another successful and busy year for the organisation.
The year’s income (1 July to 30 June) stood at the record level of $9.8 million, representing an
increase of 17% over the previous year. The surplus is at another record high - $7.2 million
dollars available to distribute to artists and labels, representing an increase of 23% over the year
ending June 2001. This year’s excellent result was assisted by the resolution of the FACTS
agreement which accounted for approximately half of the 23% increase, and included a back
payment component.
Public performance licence numbers at the end of the period stood at 34,451, representing an
increase of approximately 3% over the previous year.
Overall, a very encouraging result from a financial perspective, and PPCA’s 13th consecutive
year of income and surplus growth.
A key highlight for PPCA in 2002 was the relaunching of the website now providing new features
and an improved and streamlined navigation system, allowing users to easily access relevant
information on PPCA activities. Areas of direct relevance to registered artists include a news &
communications section, material on new policies and legislative issues and the ability to print
off artist and recording registration forms.
This year also saw the introduction of new procedures for artist registration. These were
executed as a direct result of the new federal privacy legislation designed to help protect
personal information and ensure that artist entitlements are correctly reported.
As reported last year, PPCA in association with other Australian collecting societies, developed
an industry code of conduct which was successfully implemented this year with PPCA taking all
the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the code.
With regards to international activities, a reciprocal agreement with PPL, PPCA’s sister body in
the UK, covering independent copyright owners for broadcasting and public performance in
both territories was successfully negotiated. Under this arrangement, PPCA will represent UK
Indies in Australia for broadcast and public performance rights and PPL will be able to collect
and distribute licence fees on behalf of Australian Indies. This is a positive initiative by PPCA for
our smaller labels that do not have license arrangements in place with local UK labels or the
resources to deal direct with PPL.
PPCA continues its role of raising the awareness of public performance and broadcasting rights
and this includes regular submissions to government to assist in positive law reform. The recent
appointment to PPCA of a Manager for Licensing Development will also ensure that new and
viable sources of revenue streams from the commercial use of sound recordings are explored
and implemented on behalf of all members.
I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of my fellow Board
members during the year and thank them for their support as well as the continued dedication
and hard work of the PPCA secretariat in all their activities.

Phonographic Performance Company of Australia Ltd. Annual Report 2002
Management Report 2002
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
It is a pleasure to once again report record achievements in the areas of revenue, distributable
surplus and licence coverage.
Total income for the 2002 financial year increased by 17%, resulting in overall earnings of $9.8
million. Increases in the areas of “Public Performance Fees” (up by $541k) and “Commercial
Television Fees" (up by $722k) were the main contributors to this positive growth. It should be
noted that fees from the commercial television sector covered an eighteen month period, as an
adjustment for the previous year was received on conclusion of the agreement.
Unfortunately, the demise of the “Music Country” pay television channel reduced the income
from the subscription television sector.
Despite the substantial increases in income, operating expenses were closely contained, and
increased by only 2.4%.
The distributable surplus reached a new high with an increase of 23.4% over the previous year,
resulting in an amount of just over $7.2 million for distribution to artists and record labels.
The number of general public performance licences continues to grow, and at June 2002 stood
at 34,451. The ongoing growth in licence coverage and public performance income illustrates
the effectiveness of the licensing department and the contribution of the communications
programme.
The simple graphs on page 9 display PPCA’s achievements in the key areas of revenue,
distributable surplus and public performance licence coverage.
COMMUNICATIONS
During the year our programme of advertising and communications has continued, as we
endeavour to increase awareness of the value that can be derived from using sound recordings
in business, the concept of copyright ownership, and the benefits PPCA can provide in linking
sound recording users with owners. PPCA’s profile has been enhanced by our participation in a
number of industry events and education based programmes around Australia.
The PPCA website (www.ppca.com.au) is a key element of the communications strategy, and
was relaunched in 2002 after extensive redevelopment. Through its simple navigation system,
users can quickly access the increased resources for copyright owners, artists, licensees and
the general public.
DISTRIBUTION
During December 2002, PPCA made its annual distribution to registered artists and record labels
for the financial year ending June 2002. Almost 750 cheques were issued prior to Christmas to
distribute the record surplus to artists and labels.
We continue to work to increase awareness of PPCA throughout the artist community, and urge
all artists, managers and associations to spread the word and encourage all eligible Australian
recording artists to register for the Artist Direct Distribution Scheme.
Similarly, we continue to contact emerging labels to explain the role and function of PPCA and
the benefits of allowing PPCA to assist in their licensing activities.
During the year, two distribution related policy decisions were effected. First, the minimum
threshold for an artist payment was increased to $5 (previously $2). This increase was
7
Management Report 2002 continued
implemented to control administrative overheads, due to the costs involved in processing
payments. This is the first increase in a number of years, and still provides a very low threshold
for participation in direct artist distributions.
As usual, any amounts allocated to registered artists that do not reach this annual threshold will
be directed to the relevant copyright owner / record company, for distribution in accordance with
the particular contractual arrangements for the various recordings.
Secondly, following a review of the artist registration procedures as a result of new federal
privacy legislation, each artist must now register individually (i.e. “group” / “band” registrations
are no longer accepted) and sign their initial registration form. The revamped PPCA website is
a good source of information, and explains the registration process. All forms can be
downloaded from the site, and there are some sample documents to demonstrate how they
should be completed.
Over the next twelve months PPCA will be contacting those registered as “bands” to convert
them to individual registrations. We encourage all artists to ensure that their details are complete
and they keep us up to date on a regular basis with details of their new recordings.
The distribution process, a core function of PPCA, is both complex and time consuming. As in
prior years, the process was greatly assisted by the free access granted to PPCA by the
Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) of its extensive catalogue database. This
database provides invaluable information, and assists in the matching of artist registrations with
the titles contained in the distribution logs.
SUPPORT ACT LIMITED (SAL)
PPCA has continued its support of SAL - a national benevolent fund established to provide
assistance to Australian musicians, composers, and associated workers.
PPCA is represented on the Board of SAL, and supports SAL’s aim to provide financial, legal and
medical assistance to those artists / composers and families in need.
In addition to providing ongoing administrative support, PPCA has provided practical assistance
in fund raising activities, with events such as the annual Melbourne Cup Lunch drawing the
industry together to generate much needed funds to aid the organisations ongoing charitable
activities.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Mid 2002 saw the appointment of Nick Love in the newly created role of Manager, Licensing
Development. The role focuses on key customer relations and identifying new areas of
business, and is a key element of PPCA's strategy to continue to deliver year on year growth in
the areas of revenue and distributable surpluses.
Alex Malik left PPCA in July 2002, in order to undertake doctoral studies in intellectual property
at Sydney’s University of Technology. Following Alex’s departure, Jason McLennan was
appointed to the position of Corporate Counsel.

Management Report 2002 continued
THE COMING YEAR
As always, the year ahead is expected to be another challenging one for the organisation and
its staff. Negotiations are currently underway with cable subscription telecasters and
commercial radio broadcasters in relation to the appropriate level of licence fees, and we hope
to conclude these agreements within the next few months.
We are also in the process of finalising arrangements with the ABC for a new long term
agreement in relation to fees for the use of sound recordings and music video clips in its radio
and television services.
We plan to maintain and improve our record for steady public performance licence growth. Our
established public relations and communications programme supports this goal and dovetails
neatly with our obligations under the Code of Conduct for Collecting Societies.
PPCA has and will continue to engage in ongoing dialogue with government, to ensure that the
particular needs of artists and sound recording copyright owners are not overlooked as the
community embraces new technologies and ways of conducting business.
In relation to broadcast rights, PPCA continues to seek the removal of the artificial limit on radio
broadcast fees contained in the Copyright Act. For many years, the owners of copyright in
sound recordings have been effectively subsidising the Australian commercial radio
broadcasting industry. Since the
GRAPH 1 DISTRIBUTION (Millions)
introduction of the Copyright Act
(1968) commenced, broadcasters
have benefited from the “price
capping” on the licence fees that
can be charged for the broadcast
of sound recordings.
The limits are significantly lower
than market rates for such
licences in other comparable
countries. This is a vital issue for
PPCA. It continues to remain high
on our list of priorities for the
benefit of our constituents as it
has a significant impact on current
and future income levels.
On this, and all issues, PPCA
remains committed to ensuring
that all registered artists and
record
labels
obtain
fair
remuneration for the use of their
sound recordings and music video
clips.

purposes:
1

or
3
the promotion and encouragement of the performing arts to the general public;
or, in particular,
4

adequately maintain herself/himself by her/his own exertions and other income.
Total funds provided since creating the Trust have been $1,460,806 (up to 30 June 2002).
In the 2001-2002 year, three Trust meetings were held and 19 applications were put to the

The Trust Balance Sheet can be found on page 39 of this report.Feedback from many of the
grants recipients has been welcome and useful. Here are some examples:
Thank you for your assistance with the Willow Neilson Quartets
trip to Belgium to attend the Jazz Hoelaart International
Competition in Belgium. Each member of the group has benefited
from the experience in many ways. I think we created interest in
Australian jazz amongst all the musicians and organisers that we
met. I attained a contact in each major city in central Europe and
think we succeeded in all of our objectives and more.
What I think was most important, outside of the contacts we
made for further touring, recording and arrangement work, was
the musical interaction between other young musicians of high
calibre from so many countries.
Thank you once again,
Willow Neilson

I am writing on behalf of the Flinders Street School of Music to
express our sincere thanks for the grant the Trust has provided
for the Festival of Australian Music held in Adelaide in August/
September 2000. The Festival was a resounding success, and
received a very positive response in both the local and national
media as well as providing strong opportunities for students from
the School.
Once again, please accept our thanks for your generosity.

2002 Most Broadcast
Recordings and Artists
As with previous years, PPCA continues to acknowledge the most broadcast recordings and
artists in Australia. The extensive play lists used as the basis for PPCA’s distribution surplus
payments determine these results.
SOPHIE MONK | WARNER MUSIC
The MOST BROADCAST RECORDINGS lists the 100 most broadcast recordings of the year as
played by radio and television stations across Australia. The MOST BROADCAST ARTIST list is
measured by collating all titles performed by each of the artists listed in the PPCA radio/TV
broadcast logs taken during the relevant period (i.e. July 2001 to June 2002).
MOST BROADCAST RECORDINGS
The most Broadcast Recording over all for 2002 was Drops of Jupiter by Train taking the #1
position; this was followed by Lifehouse with Hanging by a Moment at #2 and then Gabrielle’s
hit single Out of Reach from the movie soundtrack Bridget Jones’ Diary at #3. Local talent hit
the list with Alex Lloyd’s award winning Amazing reaching #5 making it the most broadcast
Australian recording on radio for the period.
Australian music continued to have a strong presence in the PPCA list for the given period with
many artists achieving multiple entries including Kylie Minogue, Powderfinger, Paul Mac as
well as Alex Lloyd. Credit must be given to the record companies for their dedicated marketing
and investment efforts towards these artists and their recordings throughout the year.
Many Australian artists covering diverse genres made their debut onto the PPCA list during 2002
and this included Paul Mac, Aneiki, Kasey Chambers, Grinspoon, Shakaya, Selwyn, Bardot
and a solo Darren Hayes.
Overall, twenty-one (21) positions in the Top 100 Most Broadcast Recordings for 2002 were by
fifteen (15) Australian artists.
MOST BROADCAST ARTISTS
The Top 50 MOST BROADCAST ARTISTS saw an outstanding result for local music with
international pop sensation Kylie Minogue taking the #1 position. This position was mainly
achieved by having four (4) of her recordings ‘airplayed’ into the Top 100 – Can’t Get You Out of
My Head, In Your Eyes, Love at First Sight and On a Night Like This - pushing Kylie ahead of
international artists U2 at #2 and Madonna at #4 and last year’s #1 on the list, Savage Garden.
In the history of compiling the PPCA broadcast charts, this is the third year running an
Australian act has achieved the top position indicating the popularity of Australian music across
a wide range of broadcasting station formats. This, combined with her continuing catalogue of
hits, has resulted in Kylie Minogue receiving the PPCA Award as the Most Broadcast Australian
Recording Artist (2002).
Other Australian performers in the Top 50 Most Broadcast Artists list included Paul Mac (10),
Powderfinger (13), Alex Lloyd (16), John Farnham (19), Natalie Imbruglia (29), INXS (35)
Vanessa Amorosi (36), many still proving the dominance of their music catalogue on radio.
PPCA has once again compiled the list of the Most Broadcast Recording and Artists for 1999,
2000, 2001 and 2002 on the following pages. Being hard factual data, these results are always
keenly observed by artists and record companies, radio stations and music enthusiasts.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the course of the financial year was acting for the
copyright owners in the licensing throughout Australia of the broadcast and public performance
of sound recordings and music video clips.
During the year there was no significant change in the nature of this activity.
CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS
During the financial year there was no significant change in the state of affairs of the company
other than that referred to in the financial statements or notes thereto.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The company distributes the licence fees it collects to the Copyright owners and artists after
deducting operating expenses. As a result of this, no profit or loss is reported and the Directors
do not recommend that a dividend will be payable in the current year or was payable in the prior
year.
21
Directors’ Report
The company's results have again shown a substantial increase in the amount to be distributed to
Copyright owners as compared with the previous year. The results of the operations of the
company during the year were not, in the opinion of the Directors substantially affected by any
item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
There has not been any matter or circumstance, other than that referred to in the financial
statements or notes thereto, that has arisen since the end of the financial year, that has
significantly affected, or may significantly affect the operations of the company, the results of those
operations, or the state of affairs of the company in financial years.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Disclosure of information regarding likely developments in the operations of the company in future
financial years and the expected results of those operations is likely to result in unreasonable
prejudice to the company. Accordingly, this information has not been disclosed in this report.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
During or since the financial year the company has not indemnified or made a relevant agreement
to indemnify an officer or auditor of the company or of any related body corporate against a liability
incurred as such an officer or auditor. In addition, the company has not paid, or agreed to pay, a
premium in respect of a contract insuring against a liability incurred by an officer or auditor.
Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors made pursuant to Section 298(2) of the
Corporations Act 2001.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FINANCIAL REPORTING FRAMEWORK
The company is not a reporting entity because in the opinion of the directors there are unlikely
to exist users of the financial report who are unable to command the preparation of reports
tailored so as to satisfy specifically all of their information needs. Accordingly, this “special
purpose financial report” has been prepared to satisfy the Directors’ reporting requirements
under the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost and except where stated,
does not take into account changing money values or current valuations of non-current assets.
Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, the basis
of accounting specified by all applicable Accounting Standards and UIG Consensus Views and
the disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards AASB 1001 “Accounting Policies”, AASB
1018 “Statement of Financial Performance”, AASB 1034 “Financial Report Presentation and
Disclosures” and AASB 1040 “Statement of Financial Position” and UIG Abstract 35 “Disclosure
of Contingent Liabilities”, except the disclosure requirements of AASB 1017 “Related Party
Disclosures” and AASB 1033 “Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Instruments”.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner which ensures that the resulting
financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the
substance of the underlying transactions and other events is reported.
The following significant accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation and
presentation of the financial report:
a)
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on plant and equipment. Depreciation is calculated on a
straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost or other revalued amount of each asset
over its expected useful life. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the period of
the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is shorter, using the straight line method.
The following estimated useful lives are used in the calculation of depreciation.
Office Furniture
Office Equipment
Computer Equipment
Motor Vehicles
b)
10–11 years
9 years
3 years
5 years
Income Tax
The company prepares its income tax returns on the basis that it acts as agent for the
record companies that it represents. As such, it does not derive income on its own
account. Rather it is entitled under its constituent document to be reimbursed for
expenditure incurred in the course of its activities. The basis of assessment has been
agreed with the Australian Taxation Office.
The net effect of timing and permanent differences arising from expenditure incurred by
the company is passed on to the recipients of the royalties collected.

Revenue Recognition
Unearned revenue is brought to account over the terms of the licences issued on the
following basis:
i. Public performance fees are normally issued for a period of one year, although shorter
periods are accommodated. In all cases licence fees are payable in advance. Income
is brought to account on a monthly basis over the life of the contract.
ii. Broadcast licences are issued for various terms - income is brought to account on a
monthly basis over the life of the contract.
d)
Leased Assets
Leased assets classified as finance leases are recognised as assets. The amount initially
brought to account is the present value of minimum lease payments.
A finance lease is one which effectively transfers from the lessor to the lessee
substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased property.
Finance leased assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the asset.
Finance lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of lease
liability over the term of the lease. The interest expense is determined by applying the
interest rate implicit in the lease to the outstanding lease liability at the beginning of each
lease payment period.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a basis which reflects the
pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
e)
Recoverable Amount of Non-Current Assets
Non-current assets are written down to recoverable amount where the carrying value of
any non-current asset exceeds recoverable amount. In determining the recoverable
amount of non-current assets, the expected net cash flows have not been discounted to
their present value.
f)
Employee Entitlements
Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries,
annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required
and are capable of being measured reliably.
Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries and annual leave expected to be
settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values.
Provisions made in respect of long service leave which are not expected to be settled
within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash
outflows to be made by the company in respect of services provided by employees up
to reporting date.

Receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables are recorded at amounts due less any allowance
for doubtful debts.
h)
Accounts Payable
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the company becomes
obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.
i)
Investments
Investments are recorded at cost. Interest revenue is recognised on an accruals basis.
j)
Acquisition of Assets
Assets acquired are recorded at the cost of acquisition, being the purchase
consideration determined as at the date of acquisition plus costs incidental to the
acquisition.
In the event that settlement of all or part of the cash consideration given in the
acquisition of an asset is deferred, the fair value of the purchase consideration is
determined by discounting the amounts payable in the future to their present value as at
the date of acquisition.
k)
Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services
tax (GST), except:
i. where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of
expense; or
ii. for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is
included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST
component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is
recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash
flows.
