PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2018

Dear Members,

In November 2016, with encouragement from Roberto Rossi of Clean Ride and vital support from
Stephen Couri of Fraser Ducati Perth, we decided it was time for Western Australia to enter the
D.O.C. world.

Live the Passion

Close your eyes and imagine an extended family that welcomes anyone that, like you, has one fixed
thought: an unconditional love for Borgo Panigale's bikes.

Imagine being able to enjoy new experiences, discover new places and take part in exciting events.

Imagine meeting new friends and travel companions each day, ready to welcome you and share those
unique feelings that only your Ducati can bring out in you.

Now open your eyes and stop imagining: now it's time to experience reality... the reality of the Desmo
Owners Club.

Incorporation

After recruiting our first 15 members and securing support from Fraser Ducati Perth, the next step
in our journey to becoming a D.O.C. was to incorporate an association. On 21 July 2017 our founding
members met at Fraser Ducati Perth to elect their committee and vote in favour of incorporation.
Desmo Owners Club of Western Australia Inc. was incorporated on 10 August 2017.

Acceptance into the D.O.C. family

It then took several months to satisfy Ducati’s many requirements and finally, in December 2017, our
young club was officially accepted into the international D.O.C. family.

Our launch party was hosted by Fraser Ducati Perth on 30 December 2017 and we invited the public
to submit their applications to join the only D.O.C. in Western Australia, the Desmo Owners Club of
Western Australia Inc.

Desmo Club Membership

To avoid confusion with the acronym DOCWA (used by the Ducati Owners Club WA), on 26 January
2018 the Desmo Owners Club of Western Australia Inc. registered the business name Desmo Club.
In 2018, membership to the Desmo Club included:

• an exclusive Desmo Club Kit including T-Shirt;

• a personalised Desmo Club member's card;
• access to the members only Facebook group;
• latest news and special events from Ducati;
• discounts for participating in World Ducati Week 2018, Ducati Riding Experience, Ducati
Adventure Riding Experience and Ducati Travel events;
• discounts for tours of the Ducati Factory and Museum as part of the Borgo Panigale
Experience;
• exclusive member discounts at Fraser Ducati Perth; and
• participation in several local club events throughout the year.

I am very proud to report that since the launch party the Desmo Club has grown rapidly, to more
than 75 members!

Desmo Club Events

During our first year we have held more than 15 events, including: local rides, country rides, track
days, an overnighter in Bridgetown, pizza nights, tickets to the Wayne Gardner Movie, a VIP unveiling
of the Panigale V4 and more.

These fantastic events were made so awesome by all our members who organised, led and attended
them. Thank you!

3
Ambassadors

In August 2018 Alfonso Guaia went to Sicily and met with the Presidents of DOC Trapani and DOC
Palermo and, in September 2018, Roberto Rossi went to Switzerland and met with the President of
DOC Zurich, to exchange Club Shirts and ideas.

Also in September 2018, Yusuf Adams completed a Ducati Riding Experience at Mugello aboard the
fantastic Panigale 959!

Other Desmo Club members who represented our Club overseas in 2018 are:

Frank Tenaglia - WDW18 Nick and Sapphire Bentley –

World Ducati Week, Bologna, Italy MotoGP, Barcelona, Spain

 Scott Lambden – MotoGP, Thailand

Mark Sinclair – MotoGP, Misano, Italy

Looking ahead

I am very proud of the Desmo Club’s achievements in its first year. I would like to sincerely thank
all of you for joining the club, participating in the events and for your support and encouragement
throughout the year. We already feel like one big Ducati family!

To any members wishing to volunteer on the committee, please put your hand up. Our primary focus
in 2019 will be on hosting more fantastic rides and other social events, with the intention of attracting
even more members to continue growing our Desmo Club.

I truly hope that everyone renews their memberships in 2019 and continues to share the passion
that is being a Desmo Owner!

Yours Faithfully,

Natale Ricciardi
Desmo Owners Club of Western Australia Inc.
President

 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DESMO OWNERS CLUB OF
WESTERN AUSTRALIA INC

Report on the Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying 2018 financial report of Desmo Owners Club of Western
Australia Inc., which comprises the assets and liabilities statement, income and expenditure
statement, cash flow statement, movements in equity statement as at 30th June 2018, a
summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the true and fair
position report of the committee.

Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Report

The committee of the Desmo Owners Club of Western Australia Inc. are responsible for the
preparation and fair presentation of the 2018 financial report in accordance with the Australian
Auditing Standards and for such internal control as the committee determine is necessary to
enable the preparation and fair presentation of the 2018 financial report that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the 2018 financial report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE
2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order
to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the financial report is not presented fairly, in all material respects,
in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards.

As the auditor of Desmo Owners Club of Western Australia Inc., ASRE 2410 requires that we
comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a 2018 financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons

responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that
we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have compiled with the independence requirements of

Australian professional accounting bodies.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us
to believe that the 2018 financial report of Desmo Owners Club of Western Australia Inc. does
not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Desmo Owners Club of
Western Australia Inc. as at 30th June 2018, in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
 INDEPENDENT AUDIT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
DESMO OWNERS CLUB OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INC

Basis of Accounting

describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared to assist Desmo
Owners Club of Western Australia Inc. to meet the requirements of the Associations
Incorporation Act WA. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose.
