Notes to the Financial Statements (Presented in Australian Dollars)
Half Year Ended 31 December 2009
Half Year Ended 31 December 2009
1 | Statement of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of preparation | ||
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half year reporting period ended 31 December 2009 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standards including AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. | ||
The interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of Greenhill Caliburn Pty Limited. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half year although certain additional notes have been added for information. It is therefore recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2009, together with any public announcements made during the half year. | ||
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements with the exception of the following: | ||
Presentation of Financial Statements | ||
AASB 101 and AASB 134 prescribe the contents and structure of the half year financial statements, notwithstanding this, the primary purpose for which these financial statements were prepared was to assist Greenhill & Co., Inc (the ultimate parent entity) with certain filing requirements in the United States of America. As such the following terminology and presentation has been adopted in these financial statements: |
• | The Statement of Financial Position is referred to as the Statement of Financial Condition; | ||
• | The Income Statement is referred to as the Statement of Income; | ||
• | A Statement of Comprehensive Income has been included (per AASB 101 and US GAAP), this is an additional statement since the 30 June 2009 financial statements. |
The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the company in the preparation of the financial statements. |
(a) | Income tax | ||
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income). | |||
Current income tax expense charged to the statement of income is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. | |||
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. | |||
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. |

(a) | Income tax continued | ||
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised. | |||
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future. | |||
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. | |||
(b) | Plant and Equipment | ||
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. | |||
Plant and equipment | |||
Plant and equipment are measure on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. | |||
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income during the period in which they are incurred. | |||
Depreciation | |||
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line or a diminishing value basis over their estimated useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. | |||
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: |
Class of Asset | Depreciation Rate | |
Plant and Equipment | 7.5% - 66.66% | |
Leasehold Improvement | 20% |
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. | |||
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the statement of income. |

(c) | Financial Instruments | ||
Initial Recognition and Measurement | |||
Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets (marketable securities) and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to contractual provisions of the instruments. Trade date accounting is adopted for financial assets that are delivered within timeframes established by marketplace convention. | |||
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below. | |||
Classification and Subsequent Measurement | |||
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using effective interest method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties. | |||
Amortised cost is calculated as: (i) the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; (ii) less principal repayments; (ii) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and (iv) less any reduction for impairment. | |||
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. |
(i) | Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss |
Financial assets are classified at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading for the purpose of short term profit taking, where they are derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. |
(ii) | Loans and receivables |
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are stated at amortised cost. |

Classification and Subsequent Measurement continued |
(iii) | Held-to-maturity investments |
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments, and it is the company’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. Any held-to-maturity investments held by the company are stated at amortised cost. |
(iv) | Available-for-sale financial assets |
Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are reflected at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity. |
(v) | Financial liabilities |
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. | |||
Fair value | |||
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. | |||
Impairment | |||
At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. | |||
Derecognition | |||
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity is no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed is recognised in profit or loss. |

(d) | Impairment of assets | ||
At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of income. | |||
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. | |||
(e) | Foreign currency translations and balances | ||
Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the periods presented in accordance with the accounting guidance for foreign currency translation. Income and expenses transacted in foreign currency have been translated at average monthly exchange rates during the period. Translation gains and losses if applicable to certain periods are included in the foreign currency translation adjustment included as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of income. | |||
(f) | Employee benefits | ||
Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled, plus related on-costs. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. | |||
(g) | Provisions | ||
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. | |||
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at balance date. | |||
(h) | Cash and cash equivalents | ||
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial condition. |

(i) | Trade receivables | ||
Trade receivables are recognised at fair value less provision for impairment. | |||
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. An allowance account is used where there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. | |||
(j) | Revenue | ||
Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the client. The company recognises financial advisory fee revenue for mergers and acquisitions or financial advisory and restructuring engagements when the services related to the underlying transactions are completed in accordance with the terms of the engagement letters. Retainer fees are recognised as financial advisory fee revenue over the periods in which the related service is rendered. The company’s clients reimburse certain expenses incurred by the company in the conduct of financial advisory engagements. Expenses are reported net of such client reimbursements. | |||
Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. | |||
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established. | |||
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST). | |||
(k) | Trade and other payables | ||
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. | |||
(l) | Goods and Services Tax (GST) | ||
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisitions of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. | |||
(m) | Critical accounting estimates and judgments | ||
The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company. |

Capital risk management | |||
The company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. |
15 | Related Parties | |
Transactions between related parties are on normal commercial terms and conditions no more favourable than those available to other parties unless otherwise stated. |
16 | Financial Risk Management | |
a. | Financial Risk | |
The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. | ||
Interest rate risk | ||
The company has limited interest rate risk as there are no interest bearing loans at reporting date. | ||
Liquidity Risk | ||
The company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. | ||
Credit Risk | ||
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial condition and notes to the financial statements. The company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or group of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the company. | ||
Foreign Exchange Risk | ||
The company is not directly exposed to currency risk as it does not have assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. | ||
b. | Net Fair Values | |
The net fair value of assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value. No financial assets or financial liabilities are readily traced on organised markets in standardised form. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the balance sheet and in the notes to the financial statements |

The company has entered into certain leases for office space under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that expire on various dates. | ||
As of December 31, 2009, the approximate aggregate minimum future rental payments required were as follows: |
2010 | 1,563,633 | |||
2011 | 1,293,735 | |||
2012 | 780,804 | |||
2013 | — | |||

(i) | Total aggregate minimum future rental payments have not been reduced by approximately $161,800 in minimum sublease rentals due in the future under non cancellable subleases. |
b. | Other commitments | |
In the normal course of its business, the company indemnifies certain managing directors, directors, officers and certain other persons against specified potential losses arising at a time when they are or were members or partners, directors or officers of the company, its predecessors, or any of their respective affiliates. The company is unable to estimate the maximum payout under these indemnities. However, management believes that it is unlikely that the company will have to make any material payments under these arrangements, and no liabilities related to these indemnities have been recognised in the statement of financial condition. | ||
From time to time the company may be involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The company is unable to estimate any maximum payout which may be required to be made in respect of such litigation. However, management believes it is unlikely that the company will have to make any material payments in connection with any such litigation. | ||

On 1 April 2010, Greenhill & Co., Inc acquired Caliburn Partnership Pty Limited. Following the acquisition the Australian company operates under the name of Greenhill Caliburn Pty Limited. | ||

Explanatory Notes to the Reconciliation |
(a) | Under AIFRS deferred tax balances are classified as non current assets. US GAAP requires the deferred tax asset to be classified between current and non current assets by determining the nature of the items that comprise the asset. The components of the deferred tax asset have been assessed on this basis with an adjustment of $1,242,044 being made to current deferred tax assets. |

Explanatory Notes to the Reconciliation |
(b) | Long term deferred compensation balances were fully expensed under AIFRS. The deferred compensation represents an entitlement that has a requisite period of six years. Under US GAAP the deferred compensation has been adjusted to the extent that the amounts expensed at 31 December 2009 are reflective of the vesting period. The following adjustments were relevant: |
(i) | $1,320,039 represents the deferred compensation assets balance as at 31 December 2009. This balance is the net of adjustments relating to opening balances (periods prior to 1 July 2009) and amounts being expensed to the statement of income for the current period. | ||
(ii) | $580,004 represents the adjustment recorded to the statement of income to increase employee benefits expense. The adjustment was necessary to reflect the amount that should have been expensed (released from the deferred compensation asset) under US GAAP. | ||
(iii) | $174,001 represents the adjustment to provision for tax as a result of the adjustment to the employee benefits expense. | ||
(iv) | $396,012 represents the adjustment to deferred tax assets as a result of the recognition of deferred compensation assets. |

21. | Reconciliation to the US GAAP continued | |
Explanatory Notes to the Reconciliation |
(c) | Under AIFRS deferred tax balances are classified as non current assets. US GAAP requires the deferred tax asset to be classified between current and non current assets by determining the nature of the items that comprise the asset. The components of the deferred tax asset have been assessed on this basis with an adjustment of $1,173,593 being made to current deferred tax assets. | ||
(d) | Long term deferred compensation balances were fully expensed under AIFRS. The deferred compensation represents an entitlement that has a requisite period of six years. Under US GAAP the deferred compensation has been adjusted to the extent that the amounts expensed at 31 December 2008 are reflective of the vesting period. The following adjustments were relevant: |
(i) | $3,766,455 represents the deferred compensation assets balance as at 31 December 2008. This balance is the net of adjustments relating to opening balances (periods prior to 1 July 2008) and amounts being expensed to the statement of income for the current period. | ||
(ii) | $396,131 represents the adjustment recorded to the statement of income to increase employee benefits expense. The adjustment was necessary to reflect the amount that should have been expensed (released from the deferred compensation asset) under US GAAP. | ||
(iii) | $118,839 represents the adjustment to provision for tax as a result of the adjustment to the employee benefits expense. | ||
(iv) | $1,129,937 represents the adjustment to deferred tax assets as a result of the recognition of deferred compensation assets. |
