This is my seventh annual

report to you as President – and

it will hopefully be my last as

President. Now that I have your

attention, this is because MTBA

are recommending to you,

our members, that you vote in

support of the special resolution

at the 2016 AGM to change MTBA to a Company Limited by

Guarantee. Under this new structure, there is a Chair of the Board

of Directors (but not a President per se) and that Chair is one of the

Directors, chosen by the Directors.

New Life MembersThere are four new life members being proposed for MTBA at

the 2016 AGM. Cadel Evans, Mary Grigson, Rob Eva and Glen

Jacobs. Their contribution to mountain biking varies from world

competition through to industry and trail development. More

information on their histories can be found on the MTBA website.

Company Limited by GuaranteeWhat is it? A Company Limited by Guarantee is the next step up in

the corporate structure. It is regulated by ASIC and designed for

bodies which operate nationally.

MTBA is strongly recommending this because it is the smart

thing to do to advance the status and support for your sport in

Australia. It is the structure recommended by the Australian

Sports Commission for national bodies and offers MTBA improved

governance, better national and state recognition and an increased

likelihood of external investment into mountain biking. It also

means we can attract a wider range of professionals to be the

Directors of MTBA.

What does this mean for you?

In terms of your immediate day-to-day riding, very little, although

you will begin to see long terms benefits. Mountain biking will still

be the activity we all love, but behind the scenes we can negotiate

better support for the activities we undertake – many of which

are hidden from public view, such as lobbying for improved trails

access and support for our schools programs, health programs

and developing riders. There have been some recent examples

where MTBA has not met structural criteria for funding support set

by some Government agencies. This will help us overcome those

obstacles.

For a significant change, a stable transition process is very

important. We are ensuring the corporate knowledge within

MTBA is carried forward by following the Australian Sports

Commission’s guidance by having five of the current Management

Committee form the “First Elected Directors” under the constitution

and be joined by a sixth Director elected by you, the members.

Then, at the 2017 AGM, in about 9 months time, the two longest

serving members of the current MTBA Management Committee

will step down and you will elect two Directors. The two Directors

who will step down in 2017 are our Treasurer, Peter McKendry,

and myself. This will then happen again at each successive AGM

with the longest serving members standing down. There is much

more information about this process available to you on the MTBA

website and I encourage you to read it.

Your MTBAMTBA is in a very sound financial position, far stronger than in

2015, and well placed to meet the future challenges of our sport.

The financial reports are contained later in this Annual Report.

We continue to work with the Australian Sports Commission to

achieve National Sporting Organisation status.

We are established in the Gold Coast. The move there is a lot

more than just an office re-location. We are partnered with Bond

University to provide sports science and research opportunities to

assist our athletes and we are establishing a Centre of Excellence

for Mountain Biking there. With close proximity to trails and the

accommodation options at the University, it is an ideal place for

development camps and a great base for the 2018 Commonwealth

Games. Bond University have generously decided to sponsor

MTBA’s National Schools MTB Championships in 2017. Our level

of service to members has improved as we now have our own

dedicated staff to look after existing members and attract new

ones. Membership growth is nearing 20% per annum and the

recreational membership growth is around 70%. The services

available include a large number of accredited coaches and skills

instructors Australia-wide. They are there to help you achieve your

goals on your mountain bike.

President's Report

We have continued our own sporting awards first presented at

the 2015 National Championships in Bright, VIC. These allow us to

recognize the whole range of disciplines in our sport and reward

our best performers, and those who support them. It specifically

allows us to reward volunteers, clubs and trail development.

Your SportThe choice of where to ride, what to ride, and whether it is for fun

with your mates or at an organized event or race, is expanding

and continues to be great for Mountain Bikers in Australia. MTBA

continues to take part in trail forums where there is interaction

between landowners, riders and trail builders. We all celebrate

the achievements of our best mountain bikers, but it is the

everyday riding that we all do that is special and that MTBA will

continue to service for you. We are here to look after all of our

members, not only the world-level competitive riders.

The choice available to you has grown, both in the number of

events and the number of mountain bike disciplines available.

Gravity Enduro and Cyclocross continue to show good growth

and MTBA held the championships for each of these disciplines

in new locations in Adelaide in 2016. These events have spinoffs

for the local riders and clubs, with new trail developments and

‘legalisation’ of some existing trails in Adelaide as a direct result of

the championships.

MTBA continues to monitor race entries and analysis shows that

the total number of people entering events is still growing at about

10% per year – but that entries per event are dropping. Put simply,

the rate of growth in events is greater than the rate of growth of

people doing events. One reason that numbers per-event are less

is that there is now so much choice for mountain bikers. On any

weekend you can probably find three events within easy distance,

so the need to congregate at one big event is less. We have also

seen the end of some long-established events, and the change in

nature of others. Canberra Off-Road Cyclists have run their final

Scott 24 Hr, the last of 18 annual events which put Australian 24

hour solo riders onto the world stage, and once there they never

let go of it. Thank you CORC and we look forward to your next

developments.

It is important to MTBA that your clubs continue to succeed in this

environment. Your clubs are important as a focus for the sport

and to conduct many of the development activities important

for our future riders. To survive, your clubs need your support.

Club activities include specific areas such as Junior Development,

Women’s Programs and Schools Events. (The ACT Schools

Championships this year had 600 riders from 41 schools.) MTBA

is providing guides and other documentation to assist regular

club activities. The two staff positions established in MTBA for

Development are taking up some of the load from the clubs.

The increased involvement of commercial entities in mountain

biking shows that our sport is growing and that businesses see

opportunities. Governments are also becoming more involved

as they have increased their support for adventure tourism.

Our National XC Marathon Championships were held in Derby,

Tasmania, in 2015 and 2016 and are a perfect example of

Government investment in mountain biking – and how it can

pay off in the rejuvenation of a town and the surrounding areas.

Next year we will travel to Townsville for a week-long festival of

mountain biking which will include an urban downhill from Castle

Hill and the national XC Marathon Championships.

There have never been as many clubs, private promoters and

professional trail building companies in Australia as there are

now. The same goes for the number of events and other riding

opportunities for you all. I am proud that MTBA has been able

to lay the rock-solid foundation on which all these endeavours

have been built. I see MTBA’s role as an enabler in these areas

continuing into the future. Somewhat ironically, however, MTBA’s

role is also to ensure that the events which need to be run, are

run. They may not be currently attractive to promoters, but they

are important for the development of your sport. If it needs doing,

MTBA will step up and do it.

Your National Series remains diverse in locations and disciplines.

This provides riders the opportunity to participate in national

competition and it brings our sport to all of Australia.

Mountain Bike Australia Annual Report 2016 I 54 I Mountain Bike Australia Annual Report 2016

The International StageWe all love it when our riders do well on the international stage.

National and international achievement represents a very small

portion of the activity of MTBA, and of you as mountain bikers.

However it is what gets us visibility with Governments and

ultimately our international performances affect the level of

Government support we receive to run other programs for you.

There is a latter section in this Annual Report which details all

national and international results, but here are some highlights:

Rio Olympics. We were represented by Dan McConnell (16th), Scott

Bowden (36th) (who also was part of the Australian Road Team)

and Rebecca Henderson (26th). Bec and Dan had an unfortunate

mix of accidents and illness in the race and I am sure they are fired

up for the next competition, while the experience Scott gained will

be valuable for the future.

World Cups. A large number of Aussies took part in the circuit this

year, with some very good results happening along the way, along

with some valuable lessons and development opportunities.

The big one was, of course, our own home World Cup in Cairns

(again). Some great results for the Aussies including Silvers to

Troy Brosnan, Tracey Hannah and Remy Morton. Our Junior

Downhill men took places 2 to 5 while Sian A’Hern took the Junior

Women leaders jersey in Cairns and never let go of it all season.

Bec Henderson won Bronze in the Elite Women XCO – our best

Womens XCO result for 15 years.

Australia would finish the World Cup season with riders ranked

highly in every discipline.; Troy Brosnan and Tracey Hannah 3rd,

Jackson Frew 7th, Bec Henderson 9th and Dan McConnell 22nd.

UCI World Champs. Our teams returned home with a Gold,

Silver and Bronze, all thanks to our Women in 4X, Trials and DH.

Congratulations to Caroline Buchanan, Janine Jungfels and Tracey

Hannah. In the XC Marathon Worlds, Imogen Smith led a large

group of Aussies home with a 20th place, our best result in XCM.

World Solo 24Hr Championships. Due to some north and south

hemisphere scheduling, there were two world championships in

the period of this report. Jason English took the Elite Men’s win at

WEMBO 2015 in California, USA and 2016 in Rotorua, New Zealand

to claim his 6th and 7th successive world championships. No one

else in the world has won this many and he was crowned the male

mountain biker of the year at the 2016 Cycling Australia annual

awards dinner. Liz Smith was crowned Womens World Solo 24 Hr

Champion in 2016 and many Aussies were crowned age group

champions.

International Team SupportYou may have seen on social media that Dan McConnell and Bec

Henderson will not be with Trek Factory Racing in 2017. Bec and

Dan are currently seeking support to form a team for 2017 and

they remain our highest ranked XCO riders leding into 2017 and

the 2018 Commonwealth Games. I would like to publicly thank Trek

Factory Racing for the support they have given to Bec and Dan over

4 years – support which has seen Australian’s stand on the highest

XCO podium steps, with them both winning world cups in Elite

(Dan) and U23 (Bec), both podiuming in Elite and Bec winning an

U23 World Cup Series. Thank you.

Performance Enhancing Drug UseMy views have not changed on this subject since I first

communicated them to you in 2012. The MTBA Constitution

requires the leadership, management and staff of MTBA to be

drug-free, past and present, and to declare this when they stand

for election or sign employment agreements. This will apply in the

new MTBA as well. I will continue to promote mountain biking as

a drug-free sport and I personally take a very strong position on

this issue.

What is on the Horizon for MTBAIt remains my opinion that a new unified cycling body represents

the greatest potential for improving our sport. But I will not be

recommending it to you unless the interests of mountain biking

are fully addressed and ultimately any integration will not happen

unless you vote in favour of it. We are engaged in discussions with

the Australian Sports Commission at the highest level to ensure the

best result for Australian Cycling.

We will continue to ensure that MTBA is relevant to all mountain

bikers in Australia. We have provided added benefits to members

during the year and we will work to improve the value that MTBA

Membership offers.

With the increase in commercial mountain biking, MTBA will

continue to take on more of a national accreditation and standards

function. You need to be confident that the events you enter, and

the activities you do, are well run and safe. We will continue to

provide the stable and solid foundation upon which mountain

biking happens.

MTBA would not be possible without the tireless dedication of our

members, parents and volunteers at all levels of the sport. That

is where the foundation of our future is laid. I have had the great

opportunity over the past seven years to talk with our members

and potential members. From being present at our national

championships, through schools events to a club social ride I have

received your feedback personally on what you think MTBA can do

differently, plus much more by email. Please continue to do that

and never underestimate the value I place on your comments to me.

Finally I would like to thank all of MTBA – our members, the staff

and the Management Committee for their assistance in what has

been achieved in the last 12 months, and planned for our future.

The MTBA Committee includes a range of people with professional

skills who volunteer their time and energy to mountain biking,

and it can only get better as we move to the next level of sporting

corporate structure. Thank you.

I wish you all a very successful 2017, on and off the bike.

Russell Baker AMPresident

Presiden't Report Continued


During 2015, MTBA relocated

from Sydney to the Gold Coast

with the support and assistance

of both the City of Gold Coast

and Bond University. The move

was a considerable undertaking

but one that was necessary and

has proven very valuable.

Highlights for MTBA during the FY16 are as follows:

> Relocation to the Gold Coast

> Membership growth above 18%

> Recreational membership growth above 70%

> Club and Private Promoter affiliation growth above 23%

> Partnered in delivery of 2016 UCI MTB World Cup in Cairns

> New MTB Skills instructors accredited 100+

> Financial surplus of approx. $185K

> Increased staff resources

> Increased program and service delivery

A significant achievement for MTBA is the establishment of an

MTBA member services team, whose primary focus is to manage

individual and club enquiries whilst at the same time implementing

strategies to add value and grow MTBA membership. This addition

to the MTBA team has been valuable and an important step

forward for MTBA that has resulted in a significantly improved level

of customer service, membership administration, membership

growth and improvements to membership online services. Benefits

of this new team are highlighted by the growth in membership,

affiliated clubs and private promoters since October 2015.

The 2016-2017 year has been positive financially for MTBA and a

$180,406 has been achieved as a result of new initiatives, improved

operating procedures and significantly increased revenue streams.

Revenue for the FY16 was bolstered by a one off Australian Sports

Commission sustainability grant of $120K and MTBA’s involvement

with the recent UCI MTB World Cup in Cairns. MTBA‘s financial

position improved significantly during FY16, the balance sheet

expanded and the organisation’s equity increased recovering from

the negative trading of the previous two years. The FY17 will bring

financial challenges to MTBA as the organisation endeavours to

consolidate and build its financial position from a reduced revenue

position in comparison to FY16.

At the end of FY16, MTBA submitted a formal application to the

Australian Sports Commission for National Sporting Organisation

(NSO) recognition. The granting of NSO recognition is long overdue

and could be argued to be one of the biggest challenges for our

sport and a position that inhibits development of MTB and MTBA.

There exists a significant inequity in support and funding from

the Federal Government towards road and track cycling, BMX and

mountain bike.

Without NSO recognition, MTBA is unable to secure sustainable

funding from the ASC for participation initiatives, grass roots

development or high performance funding, as all other NSO’s

are able to do. MTBA, is excluded from valuable networking and

development opportunities through direct engagement with the

ASC and are not able to access a wide range of peripheral services,

resources and support as offered to other forms of cycling in

Australia. Mountain biking is one of the select group of sports that

are part of the Commonwealth and Olympic Games, yet remains

not recognised nor funded independently by the ASC. Gaining NSO

recognition is a priority for MTBA and remains very high on our

agenda.

During FY16 MTBA established a new MTB Skills Instructor Course

under the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS) and

since its introduction in January 2016, over 100 people have

undertaken the course. This is a terrific initiative and one that

benefits riders at all levels by providing access to basic mountain

biking skills. This program was specifically targeted at improving

skills instruction at club level.

The past year has been for Mountain Bike Australia Inc. (MTBA) a period of change and a year of significant achievements.

CEO Report


FY16. Clubs are critical to the development of mountain biking in

Australia and MTBA has started work on a number of programs,

resources and communication strategies that are aimed at

supporting and assisting both affiliated clubs and MTB in

the future.

MTBA was again well supported during FY16 by our valued

partners, Subaru Australia, Scody, Thule and SRAM. MTBA

appreciates the support provided by these companies and the

continued support and recognition of MTBA, our programs and

events. I would like to thank and acknowledge the support and

guidance provided to me by the MTBA management committee

under the leadership of President Russell Baker during the

past year.

I would especially like to highlight the contributions, support,

enthusiasm and achievements by the staff of MTBA during 2015.

MTBA has a terrific team and I am proud of the achievements,

outcomes and improvements the organisation has made over the

past twelve months.

And most of all I would like to recognise and applaud the

contributions and efforts of the MTBA community that spans

the country and contributes to this incredible sport and lifestyle.

Congratulations and thank you for a wonderful year.

The next twelve months are very exciting for MTBA and I am

very much looking forward to the challenges ahead along with

consolidation of developments made during FY16. Key activities

include but are not limited to growth of membership, establishing

a sustainable events delivery models, expanding junior

development and skills/coaching programs and the introduction of

a club benchmarking framework.

In summary, FY16 was a positive year for MTBA involving

significant evolution and growth of the organisation to achieve

some great outcomes and establish a strong position for the

future of the organisation the sport and the mountain bike

community.

Shane CoppinChief Executive Officer

Following the relocation to the Gold Coast, MTBA increased staff

levels and resources allowing the organisation to end a number of

past service provider agreements. The change came in the areas of

finance, member services and communications.

Australia hosted a round of the 2016 UCI MTB World Cup in Cairns

during April. The event was part of the Cycling Australia/Tourism

Events Queensland contract to deliver two World Cups and the

2017 UCI MTB World Championships. MTBA joined with Cycling

Australia as event delivery partners and were challenged with a

short time frame (January to April 2016) for preparations and

a challenging budget. MTBA are very proud of the achievements

of all staff and volunteers involved in the delivery of a tremendous

event, on budget and on time.

Throughout the year, MTBA conducted an extensive range of

National Level events across all disciplines, XCO, DHI, Cyclo-Cross,

XCM, 24HR Solo and Gravity Enduro. The first ever successful

Gravity Enduro National Championships were conducted in

October 2015, in Palm Cove QLD and incorporated the famous

Smithfield Mountain Bike Park. The 2016 Subaru National

Championships (XCO,DHI,OT) were held in Bright Victoria during

the month of March, marking the last year of a three year host

agreement. This year’s event was by far the best of the last three

years, with significant improvements for riders and participants

occurring each year. Congratulations to the Alpine Cycling Club

for the passion, enthusiasm and respect they have shown to the

presentation and delivery of this event for the past three years.

During the year, Australia saw another UCI World Champion

crowned with Janine Jungfels winning the 2015 UCI Observed

Trials World Championships in Andorra during September 2015.

There were many other high quality and successful outcomes and

performances by high quality and successful Australian riders on

the international stage – congratulations to all.

MTBA held its second MTB awards function as part of 2016 Subaru

MTBA National Championships and it was very pleasing to see so

many people in attendance and such a wide range of extremely

well deserving contributors and athletes acknowledged and

rewarded for their efforts.

The growth, strength and success of mountain biking within

Australia has been influenced significantly by the vast number of

MTB clubs, private event promoters, media outlets and numerous

other service providers and supporters. Affiliated clubs and

private event promoters grew by over 20% (35 in number) during

Looking forward the coming year is exciting we have a new Nationals

location as well as a rejuvenated NSW series which is fantastic to see.

2016 Observed Trials Report

Being a small sport in Australia we really

rely on a small but passionate core of

organizers and workers who give more

of their personal time than could ever

be asked to keep events running and

should be thanked more. So to everyone

who has ever helped out thank you!

Undoubtedly the story of the last 12

months has been Janine Jungfels, 2015

world champion, and silver medalist at

this years world championships in Italy.

Janine has really proven that she is a

force to be reckoned with in the Female

category which in itself has grown and

there is fierce competition. it really has

been great to watch the evolution of

the category. Course designers have

been putting more of a focus on the

female sections, as they should, giving

the top riders a worthy showcase for

their skills and pushing younger riders.

It’s been a testament to Janines abilities

and determination that despite her

competitors advantages of location and

access to events throughout the whole

season she is able to deliver consistent

world class performances when needed.

Janine is a great example for young

riders both male and female that with

the drive we really can compete with

the might of the Europeans.

There was also a less spoken about but

equally impressive milestone crossed

at Nationals this year with Andrew

Dickey picking up his 11th Jersey in 26’’

Elite men. Added to the 6 in the 20”

category it’s a quite a total. Making

it more remarkable is that they have

been hard fought with real competition

throughout the years, from Ben Benny

in the beginning to Joe Brewer and

Nathan Mummery recently. Every year

puts up new challenges but more often

than not Andrew seems to come out

on top.

Looking forward the coming year is

exciting we have a new Nationals

location as well as a rejuvenated

NSW series which is fantastic to see.

In Queensland there is a new dedicated

trials park at Underwood providing a

new safe and accessible place to train

for local riders, and just as important

letting people see trials and be able

to hopefully get involved. There is

no better way to improve your bike

handling skills so if you are curious give

trials a try!

The last 12 months have marked a resurgence in trials highlighted by our very own world champion Janine Jungfels and another fantastic National Championships, thanks in most part to the help of our volunteer workforce.


WA Report

Mountain biking is going from strength-to-strength in WA.

Despite the fact that WA was not able to secure a national round

for 2017, mountain biking continues to grow in both popularity and

visibility in the West.

The partnership between WAMBA (the state sporting body for

mountain biking in WA) and WestCycle (the peak body for cycling in

WA) has strengthened, and the state government’s commitment of

funding for organisational development has really seen

things happening.

We’ve got a new high performance program for juniors, which has

seen a coach appointed and the first very successful camp run in

the September school holidays. WestCycle has also worked closely

with government and clubs to run a very successful State Schools

MTB Championship that will only be bigger next year.

State and local government support for mountain biking continued

to grow in 2016 with considerable effort and buy-in for the

Perth & Peel Master Plan, which will define the objectives for

trails in and around the metropolitan area. We’ve seen local

governments getting behind pump tracks across the metropolitan

area, supporting skills clinics in regional WA and making sure that

mountain biking is a key part of their recreational trail planning.

2016 saw more professionally run commercial events in WA and

more exceptionally high quality trails opened on private land. The

state’s gravity disciplines really reaped the benefit of this,

and there are bigger and better things just around the corner too.

Perhaps one of the biggest success stories of 2016 has been the

protection of the much-loved Pines area near Margaret River,

which traditionally has been one of the best parts of WA’s biggest

mountain bike event – the Cape-to-Cape. The trails in the Pines

were due to be closed when logging commenced, but the diligent

efforts of the local riding community has seen compromises

reached which will see commercial logging activities managed for

the benefit of the trails. This is an awesome outcome for the local

riders, and is also proof positive of what can be achieved through

consultation and cooperation.

WAMBA has a strong partnership with the Department of Parks

and Wildlife, Department of Sport and Recreation and WestCycle,

and is grateful for their ongoing support of West Australian

mountain biking.

2017 is set to be a really important year strategically for the

WA scene, and also an excellent season for competitive and non-

competitive riders alike. We’ve seen a new club formed and older

clubs reinvigorated thanks, in part, to the excellent work of the

dedicated resources in WestCycle. We are all expecting great things

for competition and trails, and we will be working closely with

MTBA to see more national events over this side of the country.

Here are some highlights for 2016 . . . .

WestCycle Mountain Bike TeamThe two full time mountain bike positions at WestCycle support

WAMBA operational and are primarily focused on:

> Implementing key recommendations within the Western

– Australian Mountain Bike Strategy. Some of the initiatives

to come out of the strategy are:

– 9 new schools completed a mountain bike taster session.

– 10 clubs were provided assistance to upskill their

volunteers with the MTBA Level 0 MTB Skills Coach accreditation.

– 310 ladies were introduced to mountain biking.

– “Come and Try XC Racing” initiatives proved successful,

particularly with the Kalamunda State Round where

approximately 20% of the race field were women.

> Securing large scale funding for the implementation of the

South West Mountain Bike Master Plan. The implementation

of the plan will see the South West developed into an

international destination of choice for Mountain Bike tourism,

and provide significant opportunities to West Australians to

experience world-class trails.

Mountain Bike EventsThis year has seen another successful state series run in Enduro,

Downhill and Cross Country. WA Cyclocross’ Numbat Cup also

proved popular, with many riders giving the discipline a go for the

first time.

Morphing from Australian’s only urban downhill race, the new

look Southern MTB event held over 3 days in Albany looks like it’s

heading towards joining the Cape to Cape as a premium drawcard

in WA’s racing calendar.

In January, Pemberton again played host to the XCO Double

Header National Rounds, while the West Australian round of the

2016 MTBA National GE Series took place at Three Chillies Farm,

just outside of Perth. The round also doubled as an Enduro World

Series qualifying round (one of only 2 events in Australia have

this privilege).

EliteWA athletes – Sam Hill (DH), Jordan Prochyra (DH) and Reece

Tucknott (XC), all put in solid performances at the World Champs

in Andorra.

Transitioning into GE, local legend Sam Hill has had some fantastic

success in the Enduro World Series - taking 2nd place at Round 3 in

Ireland, and a win in the seventh round in France.

High Performance & Junior DevelopmentSince early 2015, WAMBA has been working with the Department

of Sport and Recreation (DSR) and WestCycle to establish a

pathway to support high performance mountain biking in WA.

With the help of DSR funding, WestCycle has employed a High

Performance Manager and prepared a Western Australian Cycling

High Performance Plan.

WAMBA and others from within the mountain bike community

provided mountain bike specific input into the Plan, which

is the first step in developing and implementing a Western

Australian Mountain Bike High Performance Programme – a key

recommendation from the WA Mountain Bike Strategy.

Mark Wardle has been appointed as WA State MTB Coach and

will be working closely with clubs and coaches to provide a more

structured approach to junior development.

WA’s new high performance programme is aimed at under 15-17

and under 19-23 junior riders, and introduces a Team WA concept

that revolves around all riders, coaches and clubs in WA working

together to create a cohesive environment that results in success

at a national level.

The WAMBA State Squad for each age group will be announced

shortly and include both XCO and DHI disciplines, with a mixture

of male and female riders in each squad.

The WAMBA State Team will be selected from the two squads to

represent Western Australia wearing black and gold at next year’s

National Championships.

WA Schools ChampionshipsCarmel College (Perth) won the inaugural 2016 WA Schools

Mountain Bike Championships, held at the Goat Farm Mountain

Bike Park. It’s been over 10 years since a schools’ mountain bike

state championships has been held in WA, and it proved to be a

huge success with approximately 80 students from 16 schools from

around the state competing on a short, but challenging course.

Off-Road Hand Cycling – Break the BoundaryWestern Australia was the stage for history-making events in

Australian mountain bike racing. Round 3 of the WA Cross Country

State Series featured the first off-road hand cycling (ORHC)

category in any Australian state or national MTB series round,

with the fourth round of the WA Gravity Enduro Series also

following suit.

Andrew Liddawi was the inspiration for the new hand-cycling

category. Through his Break the Boundary initiative and in

collaboration with WestCycle, WAMBA and local MTB clubs, he has

started the process of ensuring adaptive MTB has a place in the

MTB community. Not only has Andrew ran demo days for those

interested in trying hand cycling, he spearheaded the inaugural

Adaptive MTB Conference recently held in Melbourne, and will be

one of the key note speakers at the upcoming Australian

MTB Summit.

Jodie Stembridge MTBA representative for WA

We’ve seen a new club formed and older clubs reinvigorated thanks, in part, to the excellent work

of the dedicated resources in WestCycle.

Assets and Liabilities StatementFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

Notes to Financial StatementsFOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

Note 1: Statement of significant accounting policiesThis financial report is a special purpose financial report prepared in order to satisfy the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 1991. The committee has determined that the association is not a reporting entity. Mountain Bike Australia Inc. is a not-for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values, or except where specifically stated, current valuations of non-current assets.

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous year unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.

(a) Income Tax

No provision for income tax has been raised, as the association is exempt from income tax under sport clubs exemptions.

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Plant and equipment is measured on the cost basis.

The depreciable amount of all PPE is depreciated over the useful lives of the assets to the association commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

(c) Intangibles

WEBSITE COSTS

Website costs are recognised at cost. They are amortised over their estimated useful lives. Website costs are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses.

(d) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the entity reviews the carrying values of its tangible 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 income statement.

(e) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the association 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 at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at reporting date.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(g) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Risks and rewards of ownership are considered passed to the buyer at the time of delivery of the goods to the customer.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

Revenue from organising and hosting events is recognised in the period in which the events are held.

Sponsorship revenue is recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the sponsorship agreement.

Interest revenue is recognised when it becomes receivable on a proportional basis taking in to account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Levies and course and camp fees are recognised upon the invoice being issued.

Annual membership fees, entry fees, licenses and permits and other revenue are recognised when payment is received. Three year membership fees are recognised as revenue over the period of the membership.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).


(h) Contributions – Government Grants and Donations

When the entity receives grants but is obliged to give directly approximately equal value to the contributor, recognition of grant income will be deferred until the delivery of service.

(i) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and current replacement cost.

(j) 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 Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

(k) Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

OPERATING LEASES

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straightline basis over the life of the lease term.

(l) Employee benefits

(i) SHORT-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. The expected cost of short term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables.

(ii) LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Liabilities arising in respect of long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(m) Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for consistency with current year disclosures.

Statement by members of the committeeThe Committee has determined that the association is not a

reporting entity and that this special purpose financial report

should be prepared in accordance with the accounting policies

outlined in Note 1 to the financial statements.

In the opinion of the committee the financial report as set out on

pages 60 - 67:

1. Presents a true and fair view of the financial position of

Mountain Bike Australia Inc as at 30 June 2016 and its

performance for the year ended on that date.

2. At the date of this statement, there are reasonable

grounds to believe that Mountain Bike Australia Inc will

be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due.

This statement is made in accordance with a resolution of the

committee and is signed for on behalf of the committee by:

Russell Baker AM - President

Peter McKendry - Treasurer

Dated this 10th Day of November 2016

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of Mountain Bike Australia inc.

Report on the Financial ReportWe have audited the accompanying financial report, being a

special purpose financial report, of Mountain Bike Australia Inc (the

association), which comprises the Assets and Liabilities Statement

as at 30 June 2016, the income and expenditure statement for the

year then ended, a summary of significant accounting policies,

other explanatory notes and the statement by members of

the committee.

Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial ReportThe committee of Mountain Bike Australia Inc is responsible for the

preparation of the financial report, and has determined that the

basis of preparation described in Note 1 is appropriate to meet the

requirements of Associations Incorporations Act 1991 and the needs

of the members. The committee’s responsibility also includes

such internal control as the committee determines is necessary

to enable the preparation of a financial report that is free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report

based on our audit. We have conducted our audit in accordance

with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that

we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit

engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

assurance whether the financial report is free from material

misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence

about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including

the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the

financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those

risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to

the association’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial

report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate

in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing

an opinion on the effectiveness of the association’s internal

control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimates made by the committee, as well as evaluating the overall

presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient

and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

IndependenceIn conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence

requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.

Basis for Qualified OpinionWe were appointed auditors for the association after the financial

year end, therefore we did not attend the stocktake of the

inventory at balance date 30 June 2016 therefore we are unable to

confirm the existence of the inventory as at reporting date.

Qualified Auditor’s OpinionIn our opinion, except for the financial effect of the matter

described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the

financial report presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of Mountain Bike Australia Inc as at 30 June 2016 and

its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance

with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial

statements, and the requirements of the Associations Incorporations

Act 1991

Basis of Accounting and Restriction on DistributionWithout modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to

the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting.

The financial statements have been prepared to assist Mountain

Bike Australia Inc to meet the requirements of their constitution

and the Association Incorporation Act 1991. As a result, the financial

statements may not be suitable for any other purpose.

Other MattersThe prior period’s audit report was qualified. This audit report

should be read in conjunction with comparative data contained

within the financial statements.

We were not the appointed auditor in prior year therefore provide

no opinion on the comparative data or opening balances reported

within the financial statements.
