CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

Acrow delivered a strong result for FY21 despite the disruptions caused 
by COVID-19. During the year our strategic pivot toward providing highly 
engineered services for the civil infrastructure, formwork and industrial 
services markets continued.

Since listing in 2018 we have transformed Acrow’s 
business through acquisition and organic growth 
with a focus on strengthening capabilities to serve 
these markets. We have been careful asset managers, 
prudently using capital to equip ourselves for the next 
stage of growth. The outcome is that our business has 
a unique product and service offering.

The company has a strong balance sheet and 
generates strong cash flow. In FY21, cash flow from 
operations was $23.8 million, and much of this was 
reinvested in growth. We have increased resources to 
take advantage of the substantial opportunities across 
government funded civil infrastructure development 
programs in the road, rail, defence and utilities sectors.

We have transitioned from servicing the residential 
scaffold market, which is no longer a significant part of 
our business, to expanding our civil formwork business 
and adding screen-based systems and industrial 
scaffold services. This is backed by a growing depth 
of specialised engineering expertise. This has allowed 
us to develop sophisticated packages that differentiate 
our services and enable us to secure higher margin civil 
infrastructure work on a number of flagship projects 
across the east coast of Australia.

Our strategy is to become the leading provider of 
engineered formwork sales and hire equipment, 
and the leading engineered solutions provider to 
the industrial scaffold market in Australia. We serve 
more than 1,300 customers in the construction and 
civil engineering sectors from ten locations in major 
cities nationwide.

STRONG FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Financial highlights for the year included earnings 
before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITDA) of $24.3 
million, up 25% on the previous year and a record for 
the company. These compare with reported EBITDA 
of $10.0 million* in FY18 and represent an increase of 
more than 140% over three years, demonstrating the 
company’s progress in a comparatively short time. 
Underlying net profit was $8.7 million, up 10%, despite 
the effect of a higher tax rate as our Natform and Uni-

span operations increased profitability.

We have also modernised our technology to underpin 
the anticipated growth of our business and enhance 
security from the increasing risk of cyber threats. A 
one-off IT upgrade was completed for $1.3 million 
during the year.

DIVIDEND
The Board’s dividend policy is to pay between 30% and 
50% of operating cash profit. Having delivered strong 
earnings and cash flow, the final dividend declared for 
the year of 1.15 cents per share brings total dividends 
for the year to 1.90 cents per share, fully franked, up 
from 1.05 cents per share in the previous year.

ACQUISITIONS STRENGTHEN 
ENGINEERING CAPABILITY
Acquisitions have significantly broadened our business, 
allowing Acrow to package a full suite of formwork, 
scaffold, screening products and engineering services 
for the construction and industrial maintenance 
industries. This was particularly enhanced with the 
acquisition of Uni-Span, which provided Acrow with 
access to an exclusive distribution arrangement with 
ULMA, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of 
formwork, shoring and temporary scaffolding systems. 

Our industrial services business was founded with the 
acquisition of Uni-span. Industrial services sales nearly 
doubled in FY21 as we expanded from our primary 
Queensland market into NSW, South Australia and 
Tasmania and entered new market segments including

power utilities, mining operations and other industrial 
sectors. Our businesses share an entrepreneurial 
and customer-focused culture; teamwork across our 
business lines has opened numerous opportunities to 
cross-sell our expanded product suite and engineering 
capabilities.

We now have the largest dedicated temporary structure 
engineering and design team in Australia, with more 
than 30 specialists. We work closely with customers 
using the latest software visualisation techniques 
to tailor high-quality, time-saving, and cost-effective 
engineering solutions. This expertise is fundamental to 
the innovative packages which help us win new work.

It is a pleasure to welcome to the Board Melanie 
Allibon, who joined us on 1 September 2021. She is 
an experienced global people manager and company 
director. Her executive experience includes human 
resources roles at Pacific Brands, Seven Group and 
Newcrest, and she is currently a non-executive director 
of ASX-listed Boom Logistics.

Effective 1 October 2021, Laurie Lefcourt, an 
experienced non-executive director and senior finance 
executive, also joins our Board. Laurie has held senior 
finance roles at Queensland Rail and Rio Tinto and 
is currently a non-executive director of ASX-listed 
Tamawood and Advance Nanotek.

CAPITAL RAISING
After balance date, we raised $10.5 million through a 
placement to fund growth in our industrial services and 
civil formwork businesses. This capital places us in a 
strong position to take advantage of the infrastructure 
boom which is currently taking place. I would like to 
acknowledge the support of our existing and new 
shareholders who believe in our business and helped 
make this capital raise successful.

BOARD SUCCESSION
As Acrow evolves we have ensured that our Board 
is refreshed with new skills and experience to guide 
our future progress. I would like to thank Josh May, 
who retired from the board in October 2020, and 
acknowledge Gregg Taylor and Margaret Prokop for 
their service. Gregg will retire at the 2021 Annual 
General Meeting and Margaret on December 31, 2021. 

CLOSING
On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my 
thanks to Steven Boland, his leadership team and all 
Acrow’s employees for the part they have played in 
Acrow’s performance to-date. 

I am excited about the future for the company as 
we participate in what we expect will be a long-lived 
infrastructure cycle. The value of major Australian 
transport infrastructure projects in 2022 is more 
than $14 billion. Acrow is well positioned to benefit 
from our innovative engineering, formwork and 
scaffolding expertise and product set as we prepare for 
continued expansion.

Peter Lancken AM Chairman

Acrow Annual Report 20214

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT

In the three years since becoming an ASX listed company, I am very 
pleased to say, Acrow has come a long way.

Four key initiatives have transformed our business and 
all four have been executed successfully.

ability to win tender packages on flagship civil infrastructure 
projects and major industrial facility contracts.

The first of these was pivoting away from the heavy 
reliance to the residential scaffolding market towards the 
formwork market, focusing on the Australian east coast 
civil infrastructure sector for growth. This pivot required 
significant investment in both people and equipment.

Acrow is now in a unique position across the 
Australian Formwork, Screens, Industrial Services and 
Commercial Scaffold markets, as there is no other 
company in Australia with the capacity to offer the 
range of products and services across the country.

The second was the acquisition of Natform in October 
2018, which expanded our product range with its 
protective screen-based formwork systems and brought 
with it a talented and entrepreneurial management team.

The third was the acquisition of Uni-span’s Queensland-
based formwork, industrial scaffolding and labour 
hire business in November 2019. Uni-span had similar 
dynamics to Acrow and brought a complementary 
formwork equipment offering and a well-regarded 
professional team. This helped us to establish our 
industrial services business and enter an exciting 
market with a well establish Queensland business. 
Access to ULMA’s formwork products has triggered 
a leap in our capability from the sale and hire of 
formwork products to formwork systems.

The fourth initiative was our strategy to expand the 
industrial services business nationally. In a short period 
of time, we have already secured projects in NSW, 
South Australia and Tasmania and are investing further 
in this business to drive growth.

These initiatives have enabled us to increase our share 
of publicly funded civil infrastructure projects with the 
result that our highly technical, value-added formwork 
and industrial services businesses provided 84% of 
total revenue in FY21, a significant increase from 43% 
in FY17. So, the goals that we established in April of 
2018 have been successfully completed.

Underpinning all these initiatives has been focussing 

on industry best engineering capability. The 

ability of our Engineering group to develop 

innovative formwork and industrial 
scaffold solutions has been critical in our 

SIGNIFICANT NEW 
CONTRACT WINS
During FY21, we reported the best four months of 
secured new hire contracts in the history of the 
business. This is the most important short to medium-
term lead indicator for our business, with secured hire 
contracts increasing to $39.3 million in FY21, up 34% 
compared to the prior year. This stands the business in 
very good stead moving into the new financial year.

We have been very successful at winning projects 
including marquee contracts which have enhanced 
our reputation significantly. Across our Formwork 
division, key project wins included additional packages 
for Melbourne Metro Rail at Arden Street, Town 
Hall and State Library stations; Melbourne Western 
Distributor at Westgate Tunnel and Hyde Street Ramps; 
Sydney Metro Rail at Crows Nest Station; and the 
Cooroy to Curra Highway upgrade in Queensland. We 
have also experienced a significant uplift in secured 
screens contract wins in all east coast markets, and 
I am especially pleased with the growth of both the 
Queensland and Victorian businesses.

Key projects secured by our industrial services division 
included maintenance and shutdown contracts with 
Visy’s Tumut Kraft Paper Mill; the Bayswater, Liddell, 
Eraring, and Mt Piper power stations; Olympic Dam 
in South Australia; and the Nystar Zinc Refinery in 
Tasmania. We have a growing list of blue-chip industrial 
services customers which include Origin Energy, UGL, 
Downer EDI and Monadelphous.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Sales revenue was $105.7 million, an increase of 22% 
on the prior year and a record for the company. This 
reflected the strong performance of our Industrial

Services business and growth for the Formwork division 
across the east coast, together with expanding product 
sales and four months additional contribution from Uni-
span. The company’s EBITDA margin increased 60 basis 
points to 23.0% in FY21.

Formwork revenue increased 19% to $60.5 million and 
Industrial Services revenue grew 114% to $21.7 million 
(including an additional four months from Uni-span). 
Commercial Scaffold revenue was affected by soft 
markets and revenue declined 22% to $10.1 million.

Underlying group pre-tax profit of $10.2 million was up 35% 
compared to the prior year as we maintained tight control of 
costs and achieved benefits from increased scale.

STRONG BALANCE SHEET AND 
CASH FLOW
We have a strong balance sheet and during the year 
refinanced and extended our debt facility on favourable terms. 
This provides financial flexibility for growth and includes a 
$18 million term debt facility, $10 million equipment finance 
facility and $8 million facility for working capital.

Our capital expenditure and the deferred consideration 
for the Uni-span acquisition are reflected in net gearing 
which increased to 26.7% at 30 June 2021 from 20.0% at 
30 June 2020. The final deferred consideration of $3.3m 
for Uni-span is payable in October 2021.

Acrow’s effective tax rate was 14.8%, as tax paid by the 
Natform and Uni-span businesses was offset by Acrow’s 
carry forward tax losses. We are investing to secure 
new civil infrastructure formwork and industrial services 
contracts, with total capital expenditure of $16.2 million, 
up from $12.1 million. Our recent IT upgrade is generating 
savings in the order of $25,000 per month.

FORMWORK
Our Formwork division increased sales as we continued 
to pivot nationally toward the growing civil infrastructure 

markets. Highlights included an exceptional trading 
performance in Melbourne, greater product sales, and 
growth in Natform.

Victorian formwork revenue increased to $13.8 million, 
nearly double the previous year and up nearly 600% from 
FY18. Melbourne formwork revenue increased 84% as 
we secured sizable packages for significant projects at 
Melbourne Metro Rail, Melbourne Western Distributor 
and Echuca Murray River Bridge. This demonstrated 
our growing reputation for high quality product and 
engineering capability.

Queensland remains Acrow’s largest formwork market, 
with revenue growing 32% to $19.6 million. Key contracts 
included the Bruce Highway Cooroy to Curra section 
upgrade project, Chinatown Mall Commercial Tower and 
Tweed Heads Hospital. NSW sales also grew 26%.

Natform revenue grew 31% year on year. This included a 
new $1.1 million package to supply screens to Meriton’s 
180 George Street Parramatta development, its largest 
contract to date, amidst growth across all east coast states. 

Product sales now contribute 35% of group revenue and 
continue to provide an important channel for acquiring 
and retaining clients.

INDUSTRIAL SERVICES
Our strategy to expand industrial services nationally 
gained momentum with significant contract wins and 
expansion into new markets including hydro power in 
Queensland, power stations in NSW and Queensland and 
the mining sector in South Australia and Tasmania. 

When Acrow acquired Uni-span, the business was 
generating annual revenue of around $10 million. We have 
doubled sales by introducing new resources, targeting 
interstate growth and a broader range of industries. Our 
solutions-based approach has focused mainly on large 
operators and projects, which has enabled us to develop 
highly engineered and tailored packages that differentiate 

Acrow Annual Report 20216

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (continued)

our services, unlike the commoditised nature of the 
Commercial Scaffold business.

We are investing in industrial services talent and 
specialised equipment to take advantage of the many 
opportunities available, predominantly on Australia’s east 
coast. This business has significant potential to become 
a key earnings driver for Acrow and provides a strong, 
non-cyclical revenue stream.

COMMERCIAL SCAFFOLD
Our Commercial Scaffold business continued to 
experience soft markets, particularly in NSW. 

Although commercial scaffold volumes remained 
consistent, weakness in the high-rise construction market 
has contributed to pricing remaining under pressure. 
However, our experience is that this business is cyclical. 
We are encouraged by growth opportunities in South 
Australia and Victoria, and anticipating there will be 
opportunities to increase margins over time, remain 
committed to this business.

Whilst Acrow will not focus on growing the business in 
this market segment, we will continue to participate in 
this area, and expect to benefit from increased margins 
as and when activity levels increase at some point, in 
what is a very price sensitive market.

RESPONSE TO COVID-19
Our teams responded effectively to the COVID-19 
pandemic, maintaining a safe working environment 
and ensuring the safety of employees, customers 
and subcontractors. We implemented immediate risk 
mitigation measures and have experienced no days lost 
or cases of COVID-19 across our operations in FY 21. 
While we continue to navigate these challenges, both 
the federal and state governments have prioritised the 
continued operation of essential services.

PEOPLE
Our people are essential to our success, and we are 
focused on becoming an industry-leading employer 
of choice and developing a depth of talent across our 
operations, particularly in engineering. We aim to recruit, 
train and retain the best management and engineering 
talent to drive our business.

We have a strong, entrepreneurial and solutions-focused 
culture which places our customers at the heart of everything 
we do. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our team 
for their resilience and dedication during this exciting time 
of growth. In over 30 years of working in management roles 
across a range of businesses and industries, I have never 
worked with a more committed or talented group of people 
as I am now proud to work with at Acrow.

I would also like to thank our very committed Board, led 
by our Chairmen Peter Lancken, for their ongoing support 
and counsel.

OUTLOOK
We have had a very strong start to the new financial 
year, securing further contracts to provide industrial 
scaffold hire and labour services for maintenance 
shutdown programs at the Bayswater, Eraring, and Mt 
Piper power stations in NSW. Secured hire contract win 
momentum is continuing and demand is growing for our 
Formwork, Natform and Industrial Services businesses, 
particularly on the east coast. I am also very pleased 
with the progress of our branches in Western Australia, 
South Australia and Tasmania , which are now strongly 
capitalising on the organic growth opportunities that the 
Uni-span acquisition has brought with it.

The federal government plans to spend $110 billion over 
ten years to improve Australia’s infrastructure, and we 
anticipate continued growth as we tender for packages 
supporting projects including the Great Western Highway 
upgrade, Melbourne Intermodal Terminal, North-South 
Corridor – Darlington to Anzac Highway and others where 
planning is still in its infancy. This activity will see Acrow 
experience at least a decade of opportunity to grow its 
civil infrastructure revenue base.

We are confident of continued strong growth into the 
new financial year and anticipate that FY22 revenue and 
EBITDA will exceed FY21 by a minimum of 20%. This 
includes our FY22 revenue target for Industrial Services 
of $31 million.

We are also targeting an increase in underlying net profit 
after tax of minimum 40%.

Our recent capital raising is enabling us to invest in our 
formwork and industrial services capabilities. We plan 
to strengthen our technical expertise and capability in 
the civil infrastructure sector and roll out our Industrial 
Services division nationally. Our plan is to focus on high 
return on investment organic growth opportunities as 
we benefit from increasing recognition of our expanded 
product suite and engineering capabilities to cross-sell 
products across our business.

We continue to seek earnings accretive acquisitions, 
primarily across the formwork and industrial services 
sectors. We believe Acrow has a strong future and look 
forward to reporting to you as we continue our journey.

PROJECT: Scaffolding for the shutdown of  
the Mt Piper power station

TECHNOLOGY: Aluminium planks as working 
decks saved 20 tonnes of equipment

STAFF: 50 workers on site 24hrs a day

At Mt Piper Power Station, Acrow’s Uni-span Industrial 
Services is providing a full scaffolding turnkey solution 
including design, supply and install to support 
the shutdown of a furnace. At its peak the project 
will involve more than 50 staff on site operating 
24 hours a day. 

Acrow has developed a highly engineered, lightweight 
scaffold, 50 metres tall yet easy to move and able to sit 
in the throat of the furnace. This has enabled workers 
to access the burners, throat, and sides of the furnace, 
where they perform non-destructive testing and repairs. 
Over the course of the project a multitude of scaffold 
structures will allow maintenance workers safe access 
around the plant. 

Photo: Mt Piper Power Station, Portland, NSW 
Illustration: Schematic diagram of furnace kit

Our knowledge and experience enabled us to meet our 
customer’s requirements on this critical power network 
infrastructure. Lightweight design reduced manual 
handling requirements within the furnace. Using our 
aluminium planks as working decks eliminated the 
need for more than 20 tonnes of equipment, which 
would typically be erected by hand in a confined area. 
Our engineered solution significantly reduced the risk of 
fatigue and manual handling.

Acrow’s industrial services provided a full scaffolding turnkey solution 
using specialised, highly engineered lightweight scaffold for the 
Mt Piper shutdown.

CASE STUDY: 31 DUNCAN STREET

LOCATION: 31 Duncan Street, Fortitude Valley

PROJECT: Formwork engineering to prop up car park structure

TECHNOLOGY: Powershore 150 heavy-duty prop system

For 31 Duncan Street, Acrow developed an innovative formwork 
engineering solution to prop an existing car park structure and allow 
builders to remove and strengthen columns of an existing carpark as 
a new commercial building was constructed above. This formwork 
package developed by our engineering team has potential for rollout on 
similar projects nationally.

The car park structure underutilised a prime centre position on the 
Chinatown mall, and the redevelopment will enable a new public arcade 
and retail spaces, significantly enhancing the area.

Acrow’s engineering solution featured our newly developed Powershore 
150 heavy-duty prop system which is capable of supporting 150 
tonnes, as part of a full suite of back propping systems used on the 
project. The Powershore 150 system’s high capacity to weight ratio and 
load carrying capability at large heights sets it apart, as its propping 
capability could, in some instances, replace our nearest competitor’s 
four props with a single system.

Street, Fortitude Valley, Queensland

Our ability to meet all our customer’s numerous various requirements 
under one umbrella, including RPEQ design certification and 
Installation, has allowed a seamless experience.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

MR PETER LANCKEN am | NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

Peter has a career spanning over 25 years in a range of executive and director roles in 
equipment hire, industrial, and real estate companies. He was formerly the Managing

Acrow Annual Report 202118

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 
Acrow operates in the Australian construction services 
industry, hiring formwork, falsework, scaffolding and 
screen equipment and undertakes sales of formwork 
and scaffolding related consumables. It also operates 
an industrial services business.

The formwork operation involves the supply of the 
temporary mould that supports concrete structures 
in their construction, whilst falsework equipment is 
used to support suspended horizontal structures 
during construction.

The scaffolding operation supplies scaffolding 
equipment and access solutions to builders and 
building contractors when working at heights.

Screen-based formwork systems support the 
construction of civil infrastructure, commercial and 
residential buildings.

The industrial services operation supplies an industrial 
labour service to compliment the scaffolding hire to the 
energy, industrial and mining sectors.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL 
REVIEW
The Acrow business continued to perform strongly for 
the 12 months to 30 June 2021. 

The business continued to re-base towards the 
value added, highly engineered civil formwork 
solutions market as well as an increased focus on 
equipment sales and expanding its new Industrial 
Services division.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

The company achieved a net profit after tax of $3.96m 
up from 2020 profit of $3.01m. 

On an underlying basis (refer to table below), the net 
profit after tax increased 10% from $7.90m to $8.71m. 
The key highlights for the year included:

	■ Group sales revenue up 22% on the prior 

comparable period “pcp” to $105.7m, attributable 
to a very strong trading performance from the 
Industrial Services business, a significant uplift 
from the Formwork division across the east coast 
markets, the strategic focus on expanding product 
sales, and an additional 4 months contribution 
from the Uni-span acquisition (which was acquired 
31 October 2019). 

	■ Sales contribution of $61.4m, was up 18% on pcp. 

	■ Underlying EBITDA of $24.3m, up 25% on pcp, and 

EBITDA margin of 23.0%, up 60bps

	■ Underlying Net Profit After Tax up 10% to $8.7m, 
impacted by a higher effective tax rate as profits 
from Natform and ex-Unispan increase. 

	■ Significant items of $2.5m relating to final Uni-span 
integration costs, redundancies, and a one-off pre-
acquisition related tax expense. 

	■ Basic statutory earnings per share was up 18% to 

1.82cps (2020: 1.55). Basic underlying earnings per 
share was 4.00 cents down slightly from 4.06 cents 
per share in 2020.

Financial position:

Net debt increased from $14.6m in 2020 to $22.5m, 
being cash $1.8m (2020: $7.2m) less debt of $24.2m 
(2020: $21.8m). This was predominantly due to 
significant capital expenditure during the year and 
payment of deferred considerations for Natform 
($2.25m) and Uni-span ($1.5m). 

Net gearing (net debt /(net debt + equity)) increased 
from 20.0% to 26.7%.

Property plant and equipment increased from $76.0m 
to $83.0m due to large capital expenditure ($16.2m) 
offset by depreciation.

Total trade receivables increased from $17.0m to 
$24.6m through both increased trading and a number 
of large sales with negotiated extended payment terms. 
Debtor’s days increased from 58 to 65 during the year 
however if the impact of negotiated extended sales are 
taken out, debtors days are 56.

Further information on the operating and financial 
review is contained in the Chairman’s and Managing 
Director’s Review on pages 2 to 6 of this Annual Report.

Operating results:

Refer to the Managing Director’s Report on pages 4 to 6 
of this Annual Report.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the 
estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these 

consolidated financial statements. The estimation 
uncertainty is associated with: 

	■ The extent and duration of the disruption 
to businesses arising from the actions by 
governments, businesses and consumers to 
contain the spread of the virus;

	■ The extent and duration of the expected economic 
downturn. This includes the disruption to capital 
markets, deteriorating availability of credit, liquidity 
concerns, increasing unemployment, declines in 
consumer discretionary spending, reductions in 
production because of decreased demand, and 
other restructuring activities; and

	■ The effectiveness of government and central bank 
measures that have and will be put in place to 
support businesses and consumers through this 
disruption and economic downturn. 

The Group has developed estimates in these 
consolidated financial statements based on forecasts 
of economic conditions which reflect expectations 
and assumptions as at 30 June 2021 about future 
events that the Directors believe are reasonable in 
the circumstances. 

There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in 
preparing forecasts. 

The underlying assumptions are subject to 
uncertainties which are often outside the control of 
the Group. 

Acrow Annual Report 202120

Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be 
different from those forecast since anticipated events 
frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of 
those differences may significantly impact accounting 
estimates included in these financial statements.

DIVIDENDS
The Company paid a 1.05 cent franked dividend per 
share being a total of $2.27m for the financial year 
ending 30 June 2020 on 13 November 2020. Shares 
totalling 1,159,290 were issued under the Dividend 
Reinvestment Plan at $0.3444 cents per share 
including a 2.5% discount.

The Company paid an interim 0.75 cent franked 
dividend per share being a total of $1.64m for the 
financial year ending 30 June 2021 on 14 May 2021. 
Shares totalling 1,023,731 were issued under the 
Dividend Reinvestment Plan at $0.3591 cents per share 
including a 2.5% discount.

Subsequent to year end, Directors declared a final 
franked dividend of 1.15cps on 25 August 2021. 
This dividend has not been provided for in this 
financial report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS 
Acrow’s operations are not subject to significant 
environmental regulations under the Commonwealth 
of Australia and State/Territory legislation. The Board 
believes that Acrow has adequate systems in place to 
manage its environmental responsibilities and is not 
aware of any breach of regulations. 

The Group is also subject to environmental regulation 
in respect of its exploration activities in Ghana but not 
aware of any breach of those regulations.

NO OFFICERS ARE FORMER 
AUDITORS 
No officer of the Company has been a partner in an 
audit firm, or a Director of an audit company, that is an 
auditor of the Company during the year or was such a 
partner or Director at a time when the audit firm or the 
audit company undertook an audit of the Company. 

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 
All non-audit services were subject to the corporate 
governance procedures adopted by the Group and 
have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee 
to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and 
objectivity of the auditor. 

All the non-audit services provided do not undermine 
the general principles relating to auditor independence 
as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing 
or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a 
management or decision-making capacity for the 
Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly 
sharing risks and rewards. 

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor of 
the Group, Grant Thornton and their related practices 
for audit and non-audit services during the year are set 
in note 27.

There were no significant changes in the Group’s state 
of affairs.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
STATEMENT 
This statement outlines the main corporate governance 
practices in place throughout the financial year and 
can be referred to on the Acrow Group website: 
https://www.acrow.com.au/investors/.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS 
AND OFFICERS 
Under the terms of Article 35 of the Company’s 
Constitution, and to the extent permitted by law, 
the Company has indemnified the directors of the 
Company named in this Directors’ report, the Company 
Secretaries, and other persons concerned in or taking 
part in the management of Acrow. The indemnity 
applies when persons are acting in their capacity as 
officers of the Company in respect of: 

	■

Liability to third parties (other than the Company or 
related bodies corporate), if the relevant officer has 
acted in good faith; and 

	■ Costs and expenses of successfully defending legal 
proceedings in which relief under the Corporations 
Act 2001 is granted to the relevant officer. 

The Group has not made any indemnity payment during 
the year.

INSURANCE PREMIUMS 
During the financial year, the Company paid a premium 
of $214,494 excluding GST for Directors’ and Officers’ 
Liability Insurance policy. The insurance provides cover 
for the Directors named in this Directors’ Report, the 
Company Secretary, and officers and former Directors 
and officers of the Company. The insurance also 
provides cover for present and former Directors and 
officers of other companies in the Group. 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END 
OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR 
As detailed above, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have 
any significant impact on the Group’s operations during 
the year. Subsequent to the end of the financial year, 
the pandemic and its impact has continued to evolve. 
It is therefore not practical to estimate the potential 
impact, positive or negative, after reporting date.

The Group raised $10,500,000 on 27th July 2021 
at 38 cents per share via an institutional placement 
resulting in the issue of 27,631,579 new ordinary 
shares. The capital was raised primarily for the 
immediate future to fund the capital investment 
requirements of the fast-growing Industrial Services 
division and to capitalise on the numerous civil 
infrastructure opportunities on the horizon. The balance 
of the funds will add strength to the Company’s balance 
sheet and provide flexibility to act quickly as compelling 
further growth opportunities present themselves. The 
new shares issued under the Placement rank equally 
with Acrow’s existing fully paid ordinary shares. 

Further, 280,500 units of Loan Funded shares were 
exercised and converted in full as ordinary shares on 
the 13 July 2021, bringing total number of ordinary 
shares to 247,289,287 units. 

Equipment finance loans of $2,714,776 were drawn 
subsequent to 30 June 2021 repayable in full by 
July 2024 and Trade finance loans of $1,480,563 were 
drawn in July repayable in full between September 
2021 to January 2022. 

Acrow Annual Report 202122

An insurance premium finance loan of $968,755 was drawn on the 27 August 2021 repayable in full by 
27 June 2022.

On 25 August 2021 the Directors declared a franked dividend of 1.15 cents per share to be paid on Thursday 
25 November 2021. Dividend Reinvestment Plan is available for election. The dividend has not been provided for in 
this financial report as it was not declared until after 30 June 2021. 

Two new non-executive directors have been appointed, Melanie Allibon (joined effective 1 September 2021) and 
Laurie Lefcourt (who will join effective 1 October 2021 will also Chair the Audit & Risk Committee).  

Other than the matters noted above, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year 
and the date of this Directors’ report, any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in 
the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of Acrow, the results of those 
operations, or the state of affairs of Acrow in future financial years.

1.  LETTER FROM THE CHAIR OF 
THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE 
I am delighted to bring you this Remuneration Report 
of the Acrow Group which outlines key aspects of 
the remuneration policy and framework and the 
remuneration awarded this year.

The information provided in this report has been 
prepared based on the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the applicable accounting 
standards and has been audited.

The Board provides guidance and oversight to 
the remuneration strategy and has established a 
Remuneration & Nomination Committee to ensure 
the remuneration strategy attracts and retains quality 
directors and executives, fairly and responsibly 
rewards them, is equitable and aligned to shareholders’ 
interests, and complies with the law and high standards 
of governance.

The Remuneration Committee will continue to review 
and seek feedback on remuneration practices from 
a range of sources including independent advisors, 
shareholders and other stakeholders. We invite our 
shareholders to write to the Remuneration Committee 
to provide feedback in this regard.

During the FY2021 reporting period, the Remuneration 
Committee has focussed on the performance of 
executives in delivering expected outcomes. We 
have also engaged external advisors to support the 
committee to identify those areas of remuneration 
policies, procedures and practices that will require 
ongoing change and improvement.

Independent Non-Executive Director
Chair of the Remuneration Committee

4  OVERVIEW OF ACROW’S 
REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE 
FRAMEWORK & STRATEGY

4.1 

TRANSPARENCY AND ENGAGEMENT

The Company seeks input regarding the governance 
of KMP remuneration from a wide range of 
sources, including:

	■ Shareholders and other stakeholders,

	■ Remuneration Committee Members,

	■ External remuneration consultants (ERCs),

	■ Other experts and professionals such as tax 

advisors and lawyers, and

	■ Company management to understand roles and 

issues facing the Company.

The following outlines a summary of Acrow’s 
Remuneration Framework, including policies and 
practices to the extent developed. Shareholders 
can access a number of the related documents 
by visiting the investors portal on the Company 
website www.acrow.com.au. It is recommended that 
shareholders, proxy advisors and other interested 
parties consider all the available information.

4.2  REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CHARTER

The Remuneration Committee Charter (the Charter) 
governs the operation of the Remuneration Committee 
(the Committee). It sets out the Committee’s role 
and responsibilities, composition, structure and 
membership requirements. The purpose of the 
Committee is to assist the Board by:

Acrow recognises the importance of ensuring that any 
recommendations given to the Committee provided by 
remuneration consultants are provided independently 
of those to whom the recommendations relate. 
Further information about the parameters under which 
external remuneration consultants are engaged is 
provided below.

4.3  SENIOR EXECUTIVE 
REMUNERATION POLICY

The Company’s senior executive remuneration policy 
may be summarised as follows:

	■ Remuneration for senior executives should be 

composed of:

 – Fixed Package inclusive of superannuation, 

allowances, benefits and any applicable fringe 
benefits tax (FBT),

 – Variable remuneration which is at-risk, 

creating opportunity for the Company to pay 
less than the potential variable remuneration 
when performance expectations have not 
been met, and which is partly an incentive to 
reward executives for meeting or exceeding 
expectations, including:

	■ Short Term Incentive (STI) or Bonus 

opportunity which provides a reward for 
performance against annual objectives, and

	■

Long Term Variable Remuneration (LTVR) 
which provides an equity-based reward 
for performance against indicators of 
shareholder benefit or value creation, over a 
multi-year period, and

Acrow Annual Report 202126

 – In total the sum of the elements will constitute a 

total remuneration package (TRP).

	■ Both internal relativities and external market factors 

should be considered,

	■ Total remuneration packages (TRPs, which include 
Fixed Package and incentives) should be structured 
with reference to market practices, the practices of 
competitors for talent, and the circumstances of the 
Company at the time,

	■ Remuneration will be managed within a range so as 
to allow for the recognition of individual differences 
such as the calibre of the incumbent and the 
competency with which they fulfil a role (a range 
of +/- 20% is specified in line with common market 
practices), and

	■ Termination benefits will generally be limited to the 
default amount allowed for under the Corporations 
Act (without shareholder approval).

Changes to remuneration resulting from annual reviews 
are generally to be determined in relation to:

	■

external benchmarking, and/or market movements,

	■ whether current remuneration for the incumbent 
is above or below the policy midpoint/benchmark 
– those below the midpoint will tend to receive 
higher increases, 

	■

the competence of the incumbent in fulfilling their 
role which determines their positioning within 
the policy range – higher calibre incumbents are 
intended to be positioned higher in the range, and

	■ any changes to internal relativities related to role/
organisation design that have occurred since the 
previously review.

4.4  NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 
REMUNERATION POLICY

The Non-executive Director remuneration policy applies 
to non-executive directors (NEDs) of the Company 
in their capacity as directors and as members of 
committees, and may be summarised as follows:

	■ Remuneration may be composed of:

 – Board fees,

 – Committee fees,

 – Superannuation,

 – Other benefits, and

 – Equity (if appropriate at the time)

	■ Remuneration will be managed within the aggregate 
fee limit (AFL) or fee pool approved by shareholders 
of the Company, noting that equity does not count 
towards the AFL unless cash remuneration is 
sacrificed for a grant of equity, refer section 9,

	■ The Board may seek adjustment to the AFL in the 
case of the appointment of additional NEDs, or 
should the AFL become insufficient to attract or 
retain the appropriate calibre of NEDs,

	■ Remuneration should be reviewed annually,

	■ Committee fees may be used to recognise 

additional contributions to the work of the Board by 
members of committees in circumstances that the 
workload of the Board is not equally shared,

	■ The Board Chair fee will be set as a multiple of the 
fees payable to other NEDs, in recognition of the 
additional workload associated with this role.

4.5  SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE POLICY

The short-term incentive policy of the Company is 
that an annual component of executive remuneration 
should be at-risk and allow the Company to modulate 
the cost of employment to align with individual and 
Company performance while motivating value creation 
for shareholders:

	■ The STI should be paid in cash and deferral should 
not apply since there is a separate component 
of remuneration (the LTVR) which is intended to 
address long term outcomes,

	■ Non-executive directors are excluded 

from participation,

	■ A termination of employment will trigger a forfeiture 

of some or all of unearned STI entitlements 
depending upon the circumstances of the 
termination. The Board retains discretion to trigger 
or accelerate payment or vesting of incentives 
provided the limitation on termination benefits as 
outlined in the Corporations Act are not breached.

	■ Short term awards are linked to the main drivers 
of value creation at the group, business unit or 
individual level, as may be appropriate to the role 
and subject to Board decision.

4.6 

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE POLICY

The long-term incentive policy of the Company is that a component of remuneration of executives should be 
at-risk and linked to equity in the Company to ensure that the interests of executives are aligned with those of 
shareholders, and share risk with shareholders:

Long Term Variable Remuneration Plan (LTVR)

Aspect

Purpose

Form of Equity

Plan Rules, Offers and Comments

The LTVR Plan’s purpose is to provide an element of at-risk remuneration that 
constitutes part of a market competitive total remuneration package and aims to 
ensure that Senior Executives have commonly shared goals related to producing 
relatively high returns for Shareholders. Other purposes of the LTVR Plan are 
to assist Senior Executives to become Shareholders, provide a component of 
remuneration to enable the Company to compete effectively for the calibre of talent 
required for it to be successful and to help retain employees, thereby minimising 
turnover and stabilising the workforce such that in periods of poor performance the 
cost is lesser (applies to non-market measures under AASB2). 

As at balance date, the Company operates Options and Loan funded shares for the 
purposes of the LTVR.

The current plan in operation at balance date includes the ability to grant the 
following Rights to Eligible Employees which includes Directors and employees as 
nominated by the Board: 

	■ Share Awards,

	■ Performance Rights, which are subject to performance related vesting 

conditions, and which may be settled upon exercise by new issues or on market 
purchase of ordinary fully paid Shares,

	■ Options, which are subject to an exercise price, and which typically have no 

intrinsic value when granted (exercise price is around the Share price), creating 
an incentive to increase Share price and grow shareholder value. The Options 
may be settled as “Cashless Exercise” in which case on exercise of the Options 
the Company will only allot and issue or transfer that number of Plan Shares 
to the Participant that are equal in value to the difference between the Exercise 
Price otherwise payable in relation to the Options and the then market value of 
the Plan Shares as at the time of the exercise. Options may also be subject to 
performance related vesting conditions, and

	■

Loan funded shares and share purchase Loans, whereby the Company provides 
a non-recourse, interest free loan to executives to acquire fully paid ordinary 
shares, with an associated obligation to repay the lesser of the loan amount 
and the value of the Shares at the end of the term of the loan. This functions 
effectively the same as an Option, with no intrinsic value at the time the 
arrangement is made, however participants hold Shares at an earlier stage. The 
proceeds of the loan must be used to buy shares. As the only recourse on the 
loans is the shares and there are vesting conditions, the arrangement has been 
accounted for as share options, as required under accounting standards. 

No dividends accrue to unvested Rights or Options, and no voting rights are 
attached, however dividends do accrue to vested Loan Funded Shares (along with 
voting entitlements) which must be put towards repayment of the Loan if any 
amount is outstanding.

Aspect

Plan Limit

LTI Value

Measurement Period

Plan Rules, Offers and Comments

Unless prior Shareholder Approval is obtained, the number of Awards which may 
be granted under this Plan (assuming all Options and Performance Rights were 
exercised) must not at any time exceed in aggregate 10% of the total Issued Capital 
of the Company at the date of any proposed new Awards.

The Board retains discretion to determine the LTVR to be offered each year, subject 
to shareholder approval in relation to Directors, when the Rights are to be settled in 
the form of a new issue of Company shares. The Board may also seek shareholder 
approval for grants to Directors in other circumstances, at its discretion.

FY2021 Invitations

Eligible employees were granted 15,946,950 performance rights over four tranches 
with a total fair value of $2,823,154.

No other form of LTI have been granted during the year.

Three-year Measurement Periods combined with annual grants will produce 
overlapping cycles that will promote a focus on producing long term sustainable 
performance/value improvement and mitigates the risk of manipulation and 
short-termism (continuous improvement). Because of the timing of grants, the life 
of the Right may be less than 3 years at times, however this does not impact the 
Measurement Period over which performance is measured.

Performance, Vesting and 
Forfeiture Conditions

The Board has discretion to set Vesting, Performance and Forfeiture Conditions and 
for each Invitation. When such conditions are not met, the entitlement lapses. 

FY2021 Invitations

Except as indicated below, a participant must remain employed by the Company 
during the Measurement Period and the performance conditions must be satisfied 
for LTVR to vest. 

Retesting

Retesting is not contemplated under the Plan Rules.

Amount Payable for 
Grants

The target value of LTVR is included in assessments of remuneration benchmarking 
and policy positioning. No amount is payable by participants for grants of 
Performance Rights. An Acquisition Price will apply in respect of grants of Loan 
Funded Shares (with an accompanying loan) and may also apply to grants of Share 
Awards, which may or may not have Vesting Conditions. Any loan must be repaid 
prior to the end of the Loan Term, up to the Market Value of the Loan Funded Shares 
(non-recourse).

For the FY2018 grant, Loan Funded Shares were offered at a price of 20c each, 
being the share price at the time of the grant calculation, and a loan for this amount 
was provided to the Participant for this amount in respect of each Loan Funded 
Shares acquired. These shares have vested in March 2020 but remain unexercised 
at 30 June 2021.

No new Loan Funded Shares have been granted since FY2019.

Long Term Variable Remuneration Plan (LTVR)

Aspect

Plan Rules, Offers and Comments

Exercise of Grants

Participants will be required to submit an Exercise Notice in respect of Options, in 
order to convert them to Shares, as well as the payment of the Exercise Price in 
respect of each Option exercised. For the FY2020 grants, the exercise price is 40c.

Disposal Restrictions etc.

Cessation of Employment

Performance Rights will be automatically exercised on the date the Vesting 
Notification which will be issued if the performance conditions and hurdles are met. 
No amount is payable by KMP on the exercise of Performance Rights.

Options and/or Performance Rights granted under this Plan may not be assigned, 
transferred, encumbered with a Security Interest in or over them, or otherwise 
disposed of by a Participant, unless the consent of the Board is obtained, or due to 
the force of law in the case of the death of a Participant. The Board has discretion 
to determine the disposal restrictions attaching to Share Awards, Loan Funded 
Shares or Plan Shares (resulting from vesting and exercise of grants) as part of the 
Invitation terms. 

In the event of cessation of employment in the circumstances of a “Bad Leaver” 
(resignation or termination for cause), all unvested entitlements will be forfeited. 
In other circumstances, the treatment of unvested awards will be dealt with as 
determined by the Board. 

In the case of outstanding loans related to Loan Funded Shares, a Bad Leaver 
must repay the loan by the date of the cessation of employment. In other 
cases of termination, the Participant will have six months from the date of the 
termination, to repay the loan. If these requirements are not satisfied the Loan 
Shares are surrendered.

Change of Control of the 
Company (CoC)

If in the opinion of the Board a change of control event has occurred, or is likely 
to occur;

a)  Performance Rights granted will vest to the extent that the performance period 
has elapsed, and to the extent performance conditions have been met (may 
involve a pro-rata calculation), with the remainder lapsing,

b)  Options may be subject to accelerated vesting in the sole discretion of the 

Board, and

c)  Share Awards or Loan Funded Shares which do not vest will automatically be 

surrendered by the Participant, and any that do not lapse, and which are subject 
to an outstanding loan will be subject to the requirement of the loan being repaid 
by the date of the CoC.

Fraudulent or Dishonest 
Actions

If the Board takes the view that a Participant has acted fraudulently, dishonestly, 
or wilfully breaches their duties to the group, the Board has discretion to determine 
that unvested or unexercised awards are forfeited.

	■ The LTVR should be based on Performance Rights or Options (which may include Loan Funded Shares 

arrangements) that produce a benefit for Participants when performance objectives are met (which may 
include increasing Share price),

	■ The measurement period for long term incentives should be at least two years,

	■ A termination of employment will trigger a forfeiture of some, or all of the long-term incentives held by an 

executive in respect of which performance conditions and hurdles have not yet been met, depending upon the 
circumstances of the termination. The Board retains discretion to trigger or accelerate payment or vesting of 
incentives provided the limitation on termination benefits as outlined in the Corporations Act are not breached.

4.7  SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

The Company’s Securities Trading Policy applies to Directors and executives classified as KMP (including their 
relatives and associates), those employees working closely with KMP, employees nominated by the Board, or any 
other employee holding inside information. It sets out the guidelines for dealing in any type of Company Securities 
by persons covered by the policy, and the requirement for the Company to be notified within 2 business days of 
any dealing. It also summarises the law relating to insider trading which applies to everyone at all times. Under 
the current policy, those covered by the policy may not trade during a “blackout period” or when they hold inside 
information (subject to exceptional circumstances arrangements, see the policy on the Company website). The 
following periods in a year are “blackout periods” as defined in the policy:

	■ 2 weeks prior to the release of the Company’s half year results,

	■ From the financial year balance date until 24 hours following the release of the Company’s preliminary full year 

results (Appendix 4E),

	■ Within 24 hours of release of price sensitive information to the market, and

	■ another date as declared by the Board (“ad-hoc”).

4.8  EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION ENGAGEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURE

The Company has adopted an executive remuneration engagement policy and procedure to manage the 
interactions between the Company and ERCs, to ensure their independence and that the Remuneration Committee 
will have clarity regarding the extent of any interactions between management and the ERC. This policy enables the 
Board to state with confidence whether the advice received has been independent, and why that view is held. The 
Policy states that ERCs are to be approved and engaged by the Board before any advice is received, and that such 
advice may only be provided to a non-executive director. Interactions between management and the ERC must be 
approved and will be overseen by the Remuneration Committee when appropriate. Refer to section 13.

4.9  VARIABLE EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION – THE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN

Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP)

Aspect

Purpose

Plan, Offers and Comments

The short-term incentive bonus plan’s purpose is to give effect to an element of 
remuneration. This element of remuneration reinforces a performance focussed 
culture, encourages teamwork and co-operation among executive team members 
and maintains a stable executive team by helping retain key talent. These objectives 
aim to be achieved by a simple plan that rewards participants for their performance 
during a 12-month period.

Measurement Period

The Company’s financial year (12 months). For the year ended 30 June 2021, the 
measurement period was from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021.

Award Opportunities

The CEO was offered an opportunity of up to 50% of Fixed Package which is 
based on achieving a range of measurable KPI’s which are predominately based 
on achieving EBITDA targets and strategic goals, shareholder return and net debt 
reduction, working capital improvement and meeting safety standards. For other 
KMP Executives, their individual KPI’s are determined by the CEO in collaboration 
with the Board.

Performance 
Assessments and Award 
Outcomes

Performance assessments are undertaken by the CEO in relation to other Senior 
Executives who then make recommendations to the Board, and by the Board in 
relation to the CEO. The Board has discretion to vary the recommendations of the 
CEO in determining final award outcomes.

Award Payment

Cessation of Employment 
During a Measurement 
Period

Assessments and award determinations are performed following the end of the 
Measurement Period and the auditing of Company accounts. Awards will generally 
be paid in cash in the September following the end of the Measurement Period. 
They are to be paid through payroll with PAYG tax deducted as appropriate. There 
are limited situations where awards may be satisfied through the issue of equity. 
Deferral has not been introduced due to the mix of short term and long-term 
incentives being appropriately weighted.

In the event of cessation of employment due to dismissal for cause, all entitlements 
in relation to the Measurement Period are forfeited.

In the event of cessation of employment due to resignation, all entitlements in 
relation to the Measurement Period are forfeited, unless the termination is classified 
as “good leaver” in the discretion of the Board, in which case the Board may make 
an award at the time of the termination, or assess outcomes at the normal time, 
following the termination.

Change of Control of the 
Company (CoC)

In the event of a Change of Control including a takeover, the Board has discretion 
regarding the treatment of short-term incentive bonus opportunities.

Fraudulent or Dishonest 
Actions

If the Board forms the view that a Participant has committed fraud, defalcation or 
gross misconduct in relation to the Company then all entitlements in relation to the 
Measurement Period will be forfeited by that participant. 

4.10  VARIABLE EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION – LONG TERM VARIABLE REMUNERATION PLAN 
(LTVR) – PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

The LTVR plan is an annual performance rights plan to which selected executives and KMP are invited to 
participate at the Board’s discretion. The Company currently has two LTVR plans running which share the same 
method but differ slightly in their hurdles and vesting criteria detailed in the table below. All of the 2021 and 2022 
plans were granted in the form of performance rights directly linked to the performance of the Company, the 
returns generated, and relative increases in shareholder wealth. This structure was used to ensure appropriate 
alignment to shareholder value over a specified timeframe.

To motivate executives to achieve the long term performance targets.

Performance rights issued under this plan rely on ASIC Class Order 14/1000. 
This class order sets a maximum 5% limit over a rolling 3 year period. This limits 
the number of performance rights the company can issue to what the company 
reasonably expects to vest into shares in reliance upon the class order.

TSR is the sum of Share price appreciation and dividends (assumed to be reinvested 
in Shares) during the Measurement Period. It is annualised for the purposes of 
the above vesting scale. CAGR is Compound Annual Growth Rate. The Company’s 
annualised TSR will be compared with the annualised TSR of the Custom Index.

The vesting of the Tranche 2 Underlying EPS Performance Rights will be determined 
by reference to the following scale, in relation to the Measurement Period:

Underlying EPS growth will be calculated as the CAGR required for the Underlying 
EPS in the year immediately prior to the commencement of the Measurement 
Period to equal the Underlying EPS achieved in the final year of the Measurement 
Period. The Underlying EPS will be calculated as follows for each year of 
the calculation:

Aspect

Plan, Offers and Comments

Performance hurdles 
(continued)

Underlying EBITDA (UEBITDA) ÷ Time Weighted Average Issued Shares

	■ Underlying EBITDA in any period relating to the plan will be signed off by the 
Board. This will also include “base” capex budgeted to achieve the budgeted 
underlying EBITDA.

	■ Any capex acquired above budget will require the target underlying EBITDA 

adjusted for the relevant measurement years at a required return of 
40% weighted for the time available (i.e. above budget capex 40% return time 
available during year).

	■

If any M&A activity occurs, the underlying EBITDA will be adjusted in 
consultation with the Board.

	■ The Board has discretion regarding whether or not to approve adjustments 

relating to Underlying EBITDA at each measurement period.

Options and Loan funded shares granted before FY2021

Conditions of issues have been included in previous Remuneration reports. For 
KMP’s the vesting conditions include minimum service period of one year to four 
years and various share price targets with exercise price of 20 cents to 50 cents. 

In FY2021, Steven Boland had 340,000 units of options (with exercise price of 
20 cents per unit) vested in FY2020 as a result of meeting two years of continuous 
service period and share price reached 20 D-VWAP of 40 cents. He opted for 
cashless exercise which resulted in 185,674 units of forfeiture and 154,326 units of 
ordinary shares. For Andrew Crowther, 300,000 out of 1,200,000 units of options 
(all with exercise price of 40 cents per unit) vested but remain unexercised after 
one year of service period before reporting date. The remaining 900,000 units 
consist of three further equal tranches vesting over two, three and four years of 
service periods.

Gateway

TSR Performance Rights are not subject to a gate. 

EPS Performance Rights are not subject to a Gate however, vesting above Target 
in any years plan will be attained upon reaching TSR Targets subject to the Boards 
discretionary approval.

Measurement Period and 
vesting dates

2021 plan: 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2021 (2 years)

2022 plan: 1 July 20219 to 30 June 2022 (3 years)

Each grant is tested on the grant performance hurdles criteria at the end of the 
measurement period. 

Vesting for each successful tranche occurs only after the signed audited financial 
statements are lodged with the Australian Stock Exchange relevant to each plan. 

Retesting

Retesting is not contemplated under the Plan Rules.

Amount payable for 
grants

Exercise of Grants

No amount is payable by participants for grants of Performance Rights

Participants will be required to submit an Exercise Notice in respect of vested 
performance rights in order to convert them to Shares. Each Right has a Term 
of 15 years from the Grant Date and if not exercised within that Term the Rights 
will lapse.

Long Term Variable Remuneration Plan (LTVR)

Aspect

Plan, Offers and Comments

Performance 
Assessments and Award 
Outcomes

At the end of each performance period, the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee assesses the relevant performance measures and determines the 
extent to which the awards should vest. Payment is made by the issuing or transfer 
of shares.

Award Payment

Cessation of Employment 
During a Measurement 
Period

Assessments and award determinations are performed following the end of the 
Measurement Period and the auditing of Company accounts. Awards will generally 
be paid in cash in the September following the end of the Measurement Period. 
They are to be paid through payroll with PAYG tax deducted as appropriate. There 
are limited situations where awards may be satisfied through the issue of equity. 
Deferral has not been introduced due to the mix of short term and long-term 
incentives being appropriately weighted.

In the event of cessation of employment due to dismissal for cause, all entitlements 
in relation to the Measurement Period are forfeited.

In the event of cessation of employment due to resignation, all entitlements in 
relation to the Measurement Period are forfeited, unless the termination is classified 
as “good leaver” in the discretion of the Board, in which case the Board may make 
an award at the time of the termination, or assess outcomes at the normal time, 
following the termination.

Change of Control

If a change of control occurs prior to the vesting of an award, then the Board may 
determine in its absolute discretion whether all or some of a participant’s unvested 
award vest, lapse, is forfeited, or continues.

5  PROFORMA EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION FOR FY2021 (NON-
STATUTORY DISCLOSURE) – UNAUDITED
The disclosures required under the Corporations Act (including regulations) and prepared in accordance with 
applicable accounting standards, do not provide shareholders with an understanding of the intended remuneration 
in a given year. For example, the LTVR disclosed is not reflective of the remuneration opportunity for the year 
being reported on, due to the requirements of AASB2. Therefore, the following table is provided to ensure that 
shareholders have an accurate understanding of the Board’s intention regarding the remuneration offered to 
executives during FY2021. The values presented reflect the remuneration for a full year i.e. ignoring any part-year 
reporting impact.

7.2 

LINKS BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND REWARD INCLUDING STI AND LTVR DETERMINATIONS

The remuneration of executive KMP is intended to be composed of three parts as outlined earlier, being:

	■ Fixed Package, which is not intended to vary with performance, but which tends to increase as the scale of the 

business increases (i.e. following success),

	■ STI which is intended to vary with indicators of annual Company and individual performance, and

	■

LTVR which is also intended to deliver a variable reward based on long-term measures of 
Company performance.

If STI is achieved, it is paid after the end of the financial period it related to. This level of potential award was 
considered appropriate under the STI process as it stood at the time, and strongly linked to performance.

Following the end of FY2021, reports on the Company’s activities during the year were prepared for the Board. The 
Board then assessed the extent to which expectations had been met or exceeded in relation to the Company and 
each role, to calculate the total award payable. This included assessed NPAT, underlying EBITDA and EPS growth. 
This method of performance assessment was chosen because under the circumstances of capital raising and with 
the Company’s business plans needing to be responsive to unexpected circumstances.

During the reporting period, grants of equity were made in relation to the LTVR scheme as part of remuneration for 
FY2020 but did not vest due to the presence of the long-term measurement period and vesting conditions that are 
yet to be completed/assessed.

The treatment of incentives in the case of termination is addressed in separate sections of this report that give 
details of incentive design. 

On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the 
form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including compensation 
relevant to the office of the director. No contracts apply to the appointment of non-executive KMP.

12  OTHER REMUNERATION RELATED MATTERS
The following outlines other remuneration related matters that may be of interest to stakeholders, in the interests 
of transparency and disclosure:

	■ Other than in the case of grants of Loan Funded Shares, there were no loans to Directors or other KMP at any 

time during the reporting period, and

	■ Other transactions with KMP:

As with the previous year, the Company leases a number of industrial and commercial properties from 
Margaret Prokop’s personal companies (MRP Property, MRP Property QLD & MRP Superannuation) through 
the Natform subsidiaries. Rental and related out-going payments to these companies amounted to $852,581 
(2020: $740,158).

13  EXTERNAL REMUNERATION CONSULTANT ADVICE
During the reporting period, the Board engaged external remuneration consultants to provide KMP remuneration 
recommendations relating to remuneration post the date of this report including the long-term variable 
remuneration referred to in subsequent events in the Directors Report.

The Board reviewed the recommendations from the ERC directly and independent of executive management and 
are satisfied the recommendations were made free of undue influence of the relevant KMP’s.

The Board has adopted a policy to govern any such future engagements, the details of which will be disclosed in 
future Remuneration Reports should they arise.

End of audited Remunerations Report.

amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on 
an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are 
revised and in any future periods affected. 

In particular, information about significant areas of 
estimations, uncertainties and critical judgements 
in applying accounting policies that have the most 
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the 
consolidated financial statements include the following:

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION

Where applicable, comparative information is 
reclassified to comply with disclosure requirements and 
improve comparability. 

In the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income, the revenue for the year ended 
30 June 2020 has not changed, but the expenses have 
been restated by nature to be in line with FY 2021’s. 
Impact to the net profit is nil.

The Statement of Financial Position has also been 
reclassified to show Contract assets separately which 
was disclosed under Prepayment and other assets in 
prior years, no change to the net asset position.

The related disclosure notes have been restated to 
reflect the corresponding changes. 

The effect of the above changes was not considered 
to be material with respect to AASB108: Accounting 
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

With Earning per shares, FY 2020’s Profit excluding 
significant items has been restated to include the 
net impact of AASB 16 Leases adoption so that it is 
comparable to FY2021’s, see details in note 6. 

(F)  WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIENCY

The Statement of Comprehensive Income shows a 
profit for the period of $3,962,998 (2020: $3,013,335). 

The Statement of Financial Position shows that as 
at 30 June 2021, current liabilities exceeded current 
assets by $8,244,662 (June 2020: net current liability 
position of $1,974,004) for the Group. 

The increase in deficit arises due predominantly to 
the following: 

(i)  The current loans and borrowings increased from 
$5,981,098 at 30 June 2020 to $7,898,384 as at 
June 2021 being an increase of $1,917,286. In 
addition, current lease liabilities increased from 
$3,420,761 at 30 June 2020 to $4,645,552 being an 
increase of $1,224,791.

(ii)  Purchases of plant and equipment of $17,409,884 

during the period ($13,101,140 in the prior 
comparable period) was financed through the use 
of cash and an increase in trade creditors. Trade 
creditors have increased from $16,234,858 at 
30 June 2020 to $25,122,155 as at 30 June 2021, 
partially offset by the increase in prepayment 
from $2,355,240 to $4,393,545 for the same 
comparable period.

The group refinanced in May 2021 which increased its 
headroom at year end to $12,523,224 and total facility 
from $23,878,521 at 30 June 2020 to $36,168,000 
same date this year (see note 19) and raised capital of 
$10.5m in July 2021.

In addition, the directors are confident the company 
has a number of alternative funding options available 
if required to cover the deficit including operating cash 
flows that will be received off the capital expenditure 
undertaken during the period. Total operating cash 
flows for the year was $12,352,676. The group has also 
the ability if required to divest existing idle property 
plant and equipment and significantly reduce its capital 
expenditure. Total written down value of property plant 
and equipment at 30 June 2021 was $83,008,854 and 
total net assets as at 30 June 2021 was $61,487,443. 

Acrow Annual Report 202156

2.  BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)

As a result, the directors have concluded as to the 
appropriateness of preparing the financial statements 
on a going concern basis.

effect of those differences may significantly impact 
accounting estimates included in these consolidated 
financial statements.

(G)  ROUNDING

Acrow is a company of the kind referred to in the 
Australian Securities and Investments Commission 
(ASIC) Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016 
and in accordance with that Legislative Instrument, 
amounts in these consolidated financial statements 
have been rounded off to the nearest dollar and are 
shown as such, unless stated otherwise. 

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES

(A)  BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared by aggregating the financial statements of 
all the entities that comprise the Group, being Acrow 
Formwork and Construction Services Limited and its 
controlled entities. 

(H)  COVID-19 IMPACT

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the 
estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these 
consolidated financial statements. The estimation 
uncertainty is associated with: 

(i)  The extent and duration of the disruption 
to businesses arising from the actions by 
governments, businesses and consumers to 
contain the spread of the virus;

(ii)  The extent and duration of the expected economic 
downturn. This includes the disruption to capital 
markets, deteriorating availability of credit, liquidity 
concerns, increasing unemployment, declines in 
consumer discretionary spending, reductions in 
production because of decreased demand, and 
other restructuring activities; and

(iii) The effectiveness of government and central bank 
measures that have and will be put in place to 
support businesses and consumers through this 
disruption and economic downturn. 

The Group has developed estimates in these 
consolidated financial statements based on forecasts 
of economic conditions which reflect expectations 
and assumptions as at 30 June 2021 about future 
events that the Directors believe are reasonable in 
the circumstances. 

There is a considerable degree of judgement involved 
in preparing forecasts. 

The underlying assumptions are subject to 
uncertainties which are often outside the control of 
the Group. 

Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely 
to be different from those forecast since anticipated 
events frequently do not occur as expected, and the 

All inter-entity balances and transactions are eliminated 
in these consolidated financial statements.

(i) 

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the 
acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is 
the date on which control is transferred to the Group. 

Control is the power to govern the financial and 
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits 
from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes 
into consideration potential voting rights that currently 
are exercisable.

The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition 
date as:

	■

	■

	■

the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

the recognised amount of any non-controlling 
interests in the acquiree; plus, if the business 
combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of 
the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less

the net recognised amount (generally fair 
value) of the identifiable assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed.

When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain 
is recognised immediately in the statement of profit 
or loss.

The consideration transferred does not include 
amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing 
relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised 
in the statement of profit or loss.

Costs related to the acquisition, other than those 
associated with the issue of debt or equity securities 
that the Group incurs in connection with a business 
combination are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 30 June 2021Acrow Annual Report 202157

Any contingent consideration payable is recognised 
at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent 
consideration is classified as equity, it is not 
remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within 
equity, otherwise subsequent changes to the fair value 
of the contingent consideration are recognised in the 
statement of profit or loss.

(ii) 

Subsidiaries

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net 
amount presented in the statement of financial position 
when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to 
offset the amounts and intends to either to settle on a 
net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability 
simultaneously.

The Group has the following non-derivative financial 
assets: receivables and cash and cash equivalents. 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The 
financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the 
consolidated financial statements from the date that 
control commences until the date that control ceases.

(B) 

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the 
functional currency of the Group at exchange rates at 
the dates of the transactions. 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the 
functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. 

The foreign currency gain or (loss) on monetary 
items is the difference between amortised cost in the 
functional currency at the beginning of the period, 
adjusted for effective interest and payments during 
the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency 
translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. 

Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation 
are recognised in the statement of profit or loss, 
except for qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent 
the hedge is effective, which are recognised in other 
comprehensive income.

(C) 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(i) 

Non-derivative financial assets

The Group initially recognises receivables on the date 
that they are originated. All other financial assets 
(including assets held at fair value through profit 
or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at 
which the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the instrument. 

The Group derecognises a financial asset when 
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the 
asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the 
contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a 
transaction in which substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership of the financial asset are 
transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets 
that is created or retained by the Group is recognised 
as a separate asset or liability. 

Receivables

A receivable is recognised when goods are collected 
or delivered as this is the point in time that the 
consideration is unconditional because only the 
passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Receivables are financial assets with fixed or 
determinable payments that are not quoted in an 
active market. Such assets are recognised initially 
at the transaction price plus any directly attributable 
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
receivables are measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less any impairment losses. 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank, 
cash on hand and cash equivalents, net of bank 
overdrafts. Cash equivalents represent highly liquid 
investments which are readily convertible to cash.

(ii) 

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The Group initially recognises debt securities issued 
on the date that they are originated. All other financial 
liabilities (including liabilities held at fair value through 
profit or loss) are recognized initially on the trade date 
at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the instrument. 

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its 
contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled 
or expire.

Financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value 
plus any directly attributable transaction costs. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities are 
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest 
rate method.

Financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, 
trade and other payables.

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and 
form an integral part of the Group’s cash management 
are included as a component of cash and cash 
equivalents for the purpose of the statement of 
cash flows. 

Acrow Annual Report 202158

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(iii) 

Issued capital

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary 
shares and share options are recognised as a 
deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. 

(D)  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

(i) 

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at 
cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated 
impairment losses. 

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable 
to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of 
self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials 
and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable 
to bringing the assets to a working condition for their 
intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing 
the items and restoring the site on which they are 
located, and capitalised borrowing costs (see below). 

Cost also may include transfers from other 
comprehensive income of any gain or (loss) on 
qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency 
purchases of property, plant and equipment. 
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality 
of the related equipment is capitalised as part of 
that equipment.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment 
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as 
separate items (major components) of property, plant 
and equipment.

The gains and (losses) on disposal of an item of 
property, plant and equipment are determined by 
comparing the proceeds from disposal with the 
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment 
and are recognised net within other income or other 
expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

(ii) 

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of 
property, plant and equipment is recognised in the 
carrying amount of the item if it is probable that 
the future economic benefits embodied within the 
component will flow to the Group, and its cost can 
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the 
replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the 
day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment 

are recognised in the statement of profit or loss 
as incurred.

(iii) 

Depreciation

Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its 
residual value. Significant components of individual 
assets are assessed and if a component has a useful 
life that is different from the remainder of that asset, 
that component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of each component of an item of property, plant 
and equipment. 

Right-of-use lease assets are depreciated over the 
shorter of the lease term and useful life, on a straight- 
line basis, unless it is reasonably certain that the Group 
will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. 

The expected useful lives for depreciation purposes are 
as follows:

	■ Hire equipment 

13 – 33 years

	■

Leasehold improvements 

over the lease term

	■ Plant and equipment 

3 – 20 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values 
are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted 
if appropriate.

(iv) 

Hire equipment loss provision

A hire equipment loss provision is recognised to cover 
the expected loss of equipment on hire. The provision 
is based on historical experience of unrecoverable 
losses incurred on the return of hire equipment 
from customers.

(E) 

(i) 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

All business combinations are accounted for by 
applying the acquisition method. Goodwill represents 
the difference between the cost of the acquisition and 
the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. 
Goodwill is stated at costs less any accumulated 
impairment losses.

(F) 

INVENTORIES

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net 
realisable value. 

The cost of inventories is based on the weighted 
average cost principle, and includes expenditure 
incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 30 June 2021Acrow Annual Report 202159

conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing 
them to their existing location and condition. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the 
ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs 
of completion and selling expenses.

When a subsequent event causes the amount of 
impairment loss to decrease, the decrease is reversed 
through the statement of Profit or loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

(ii) 

Non-financial assets

(G) 

IMPAIRMENT

(i) 

Non-derivative financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets comprise trade and 
other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. 

Non-derivative financial instruments excluding financial 
assets at fair value in profit or loss are recognised 
initially at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequent 
to initial recognition, non-derivative financial assets are 
measured at amortised cost less impairment losses. 

A financial asset is recognised if the Group becomes a 
party to the contractual provisions of the asset.

Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s 
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial 
asset to another party without retaining control or 
substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. 

The Group recognises its financial assets at 
either amortised cost or fair value, depending on 
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the 
financial assets. 

The classification of financial assets that the Group 
held at the date of initial application was based on the 
facts and circumstances of the financial assets held at 
that date. 

Financial assets recognised at amortised cost are 
measured using the effective interest method, net of 
any impairment loss. Financial assets other than those 
classified as financial assets recognised at amortised 
cost are measured at fair value with any changes in fair 
value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Receivables 

For trade receivables, the Group has elected to apply a 
simplified lifetime expected credit loss approach, which 
includes consideration of customer specific factors and 
actual credit loss experience. 

The Group provides for a loss allowance equivalent 
to the lifetime expected credit losses from initial 
recognition of those receivables. 

Losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or 
Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and reflected in 
an allowance account against trade receivables. 

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial 
assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, 
are reviewed at each reporting date to determine 
whether there is any indication of impairment, and if 
any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable 
amount is estimated. 

For intangible assets, namely goodwill that have 
indefinite useful lives or that are not yet available for 
use, the recoverable amount is estimated each year at 
the same time. 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying 
amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit 
(CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the 
greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs 
to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future 
cash flows are discounted to their present value using 
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market 
assessments of the time value of money and the risks 
specific to the asset. 

For the purpose of annual impairment testing 
applicable to goodwill, such intangible assets that 
cannot be tested individually are grouped together 
into the smallest group of assets that generates 
cash inflows from continuing use that are largely 
independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU.

Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of 
profit or loss. 

Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are 
allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of assets in 
the CGU (or group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. 

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are 
assessed at each reporting date for any indications that 
the loss has decreased or no longer exists. 

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been 
a change in the estimates used to determine the 
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed 
only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount 

does not exceed the carrying amount that would have 
been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if 
no impairment loss had been recognised.

Acrow Annual Report 202160

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(H) 

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

(i) 

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment 
benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed 
contributions into a separate entity and will have no 
legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. 

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution 
plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense 
in the statement of profit or loss in the periods during 
which services are rendered by employees. 

Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to 
the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future 
payments is available. 

Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are 
due more than 12 months after the end of the period in 
which the employees render the service are discounted 
to their present value.

(ii) 

Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term 
employee benefits other than defined benefit plans 
is the amount of future benefit that employees have 
earned in return for their service in the current and prior 
periods plus related on-costs.

The benefit is discounted to determine its present value, 
and the fair value of any related assets is deducted. 

The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on 
high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates 
approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations. 

The calculation is performed using the projected unit 
credit method.

(iii) 

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense 
when the Group is demonstrably committed, without 
realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed 
plan to either terminate employment before the 
normal retirement date, or to provide termination 
benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage 
voluntary redundancy. 

Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are 
recognised as an expense if the Group has made an 
offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the 
offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances 
can be estimated reliably. 

If termination benefits are payable more than 
12 months after the reporting period, the termination 
benefits are discounted to their present value.

(iv) 

Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured 
on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the 
related service is provided. 

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be 
paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing 
plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive 
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service 
provided by the employee and the obligation can be 
estimated reliably.

(v) 

Share-based payments

The Group provides benefits to selected employees 
in the form of share-based payment transactions, 
whereby employees render services in exchange 
for options and/or performance rights over 
ordinary shares. 

The cost of the share-based payments is measured by 
reference to the fair value at the date at which they are 
granted and amortized over the expected vesting period 
with a corresponding increase in share capital reserve. 
If vesting periods or other vesting conditions apply, 
the expense is allocated over the vesting period, based 
on the best available estimate of the number of share 
options expected to vest. 

Non-market vesting conditions are included in 
assumptions about the number of options that are 
expected to become exercisable. Estimates are 
subsequently revised if there is any indication that the 
number of share options expected to vest differs from 
previous estimates. Any adjustment to cumulative 
share-based compensation resulting from a revision 
is recognised in the current period. The number of 
vested options ultimately exercised by holders does 
not impact the expense recorded in any period. Upon 
exercise of share options, the proceeds received, net of 
any directly attributable transaction costs, are allocated 
to share capital.

The fair value of share-based payments is appraised 
at grant date in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based 
Payments. These are independently determined using 
a pricing model that considers the exercise price, the 
terms of the payment, the vesting and performance 
criteria, the impact of the dilution, the non-tradeable 
nature of the payment, the share price at grant date, 
the expected price volatility of the underlying share, 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 30 June 2021Acrow Annual Report 202161

the comparative share market indices, the expected 
dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term 
of the share-based payment. 

(I) 

PROVISIONS

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, 
the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation 
that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an 
outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle 
the obligation. 

Provisions are determined by discounting the expected 
future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current 
market assessments of the time value of money and 
the risks specific to the liability. 

Project hire or “wet hire” revenue includes “dry hire” 
revenue plus labour services, cartage services, 
consumable sales and/or other services which are 
recognised over time as services can be staged 
progressively as they are rendered. These forms of 
contracts may vary in scope; however, all project hire 
has one common performance obligation, being the 
provision of scaffolding structures to the customer 
which includes the scaffolding equipment, the labour 
on installation and dismantling, cartage (transport to 
and from the customer) and any ancillary materials that 
are required to fulfill the obligation.

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group 
follows a 5-step process:

The unwinding of the discount is recognised as 
finance cost.

(i) 

Restructuring

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the 
Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring 
plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or 
has been announced publicly. 

Future operating losses are not provided for.

(ii) 

Onerous contracts

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when 
the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from 
a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of 
meeting its obligations under the contract. 

The provision is measured at the present value of 
the lower of the expected cost of terminating the 
contract and the expected net cost of continuing with 
the contract. 

Before a provision is established, the Group recognises 
any impairment loss on the assets associated with 
that contract.

(iii)  Make good

A provision for make good is measured at the present 
value of the cost of restoring leased properties to their 
original condition, at the conclusion of the lease.

(J)  REVENUE

Acrow is predominately a provider of falsework, 
formwork, scaffolding and screen equipment for hire 
or sale with revenue primarily generated via dry hire, 
project hire or sale. 

The company generates revenue via provision of 
equipment hire, services and the sales of product. 
Revenue generated from hire of equipment only is 
referred to as “dry hire” revenue.

1)   Identifying the contract with a customer

2)   Identifying the performance obligations

3)   Determining the transaction price

4)   Allocating the transaction price to the 

performance obligations

5)   Recognising revenue when/as performance 

obligation(s) are satisfied.

(i) 

Hire of equipment

Falsework, formwork, scaffolding and screen 
equipment are rented to customers under operating 
leases with rental periods averaging six months to less 
than one year. 

The rental can be arranged as dry hire where only 
equipment is provided to the customer and revenue 
is recognised at fixed rates over the period of hire; 
or as part of a project hire where Acrow supplies 
labour and cartage services between warehouse and 
building sites. 

Revenue recognition on equipment hire commences 
once falsework, formwork, scaffold or screen 
equipment is either collected by the customer, delivered 
to the customer or once a scaffolding structure 
has been certified to be safe and access granted to 
customers or control otherwise passes to a customer.

Revenue is recognised over straight-line bases over the 
life of the hire agreements per AASB 16 Leases.

(ii) 

Labour and cartage services

Revenue from providing scaffolding labour in 
installation and dismantling, and equipment cartage, 
being transport to and from the customer, are 
recognised at one or more points in time as services 
can be staged progressively as they are rendered.

Acrow Annual Report 202162

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Revenue is recognised based on the actual 
service provided to the end of the reporting period 
because the customer receives and uses the 
benefits simultaneously. 

Labour and cartage services revenue are recognised 
over time under AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers.

(iii) 

Consumable sales and other services

Revenue from sales are measured as the 
transaction price net of returns, trade discounts and 
volume rebates.

Revenue is recognised when control of the goods 
or services are transferred to customers which is 
generally upon delivery to or collection by the customer 
depending on the contract with the customer. 

If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the 
amount can be measured reliably, then the discount 
is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales 
are recognised. 

Revenue recognition of consumable sales and other 
services are at a point in time when control passes 
which is typically upon delivery or collection as under 
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

(K) 

FINANCE INCOME AND FINANCE COSTS

Finance income comprises interest income on funds 
deposited. Interest income is recognised as it accrues 
in the statement of profit or loss, using the effective 
interest method. 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable 
on the taxable income or (loss) for the year, using tax 
rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 
date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of 
previous years. Current tax payable also includes any 
tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary 
differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the 
amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is 
not recognised for temporary differences on the initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that 
is not a business combination and that affects neither 
accounting nor taxable profit or (loss).

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are 
expected to be applied to temporary differences when 
they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted 
or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a 
legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities 
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by 
the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or 
on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current 
tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax 
assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused 
tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary 
differences, to the extent that it is probable that future 
taxable profits will be available against which they can 
be utilised. 

Finance costs comprise interest expenses on loans 
and borrowings, lease liabilities and, where material, the 
unwinding of the discount on provisions. 

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting 
date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the 
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying 
asset are recognised in the statement of profit or loss 
using the effective interest method. 

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on 
a net basis as either finance income or finance cost 
depending on whether foreign currency movements are 
in a net gain or net (loss) position.

(L) 

TAX

Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. 
Current and deferred tax are recognised in the 
statement of profit or loss, except to the extent that it 
relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other 
comprehensive income.

(M)  EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION ASSETS

Exploration and evaluation expenditure relating to an 
area of interest is capitalised where exploration rights 
have been obtained. 

The expenditure is only carried forward to the extent 
that they are expected to be recouped through 
successful development and exploitation or sale of the 
area or where the exploration and evaluation activities 
have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable 
assessment of the existence of economically 
recoverable reserves and active exploration operations 
are continuing. 

Expenditure is not subject to amortisation but 
is assessed for impairment when facts and 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 30 June 2021Acrow Annual Report 202163

circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may 
exceed its recoverable amount.

(N)  GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except 
where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the 
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense.

Cash flows included in the statement of cash flows are 
on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities which are 
recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are classified 
as operating cash flows.

(O) 

LEASE ACCOUNTING

The Group as a lessee

The Group makes the use of leasing arrangements 
principally for the provision of the warehouse/
office space, forklift equipment, motor vehicles and 
printers. The Group does not enter into sale and 
leaseback arrangements. 

All the leases are negotiated on an individual basis and 
contain a wide variety of different terms and conditions 
such as purchase options and escalation clauses. The 
Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a 
lease at inception of the contract. A lease conveys the 
right to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the 
economic benefits of an identified asset for a period of 
time in exchange for consideration.

Only motor vehicle lease contracts contain both 
lease and non-lease components. These non-lease 
components are usually associated with servicing and 
repair contracts. 

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee

At lease commencement date, the Group recognises 
a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in its 
consolidated statement of financial position. The 
right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made 
up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any 
initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate 
of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at 
the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in 
advance of the lease commencement date (net of any 
incentives received). 

The Group depreciates the right-of-use asset on a 
straight-line basis from the lease commencement date 
to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-
use asset or the end of the lease term. 

The Group also assesses the right-of-use asset 
for impairment when such indicators exist. At the 
commencement date, the Group measures the lease 
liability at the present value of the lease payments 
unpaid at that date, discounted using the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate because as the lease 
contracts are negotiated with third parties it is not 
possible to determine the interest rate that is implicit in 
the lease. 

The incremental borrowing rate is the estimated rate 
that the Group would have to pay to borrow the same 
amount over a similar term, and with similar security to 
obtain an asset of equivalent value. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the 
lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including 
in substance fixed), variable payments based on an 
index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under 
a residual value guarantee and payments arising from 
options reasonably certain to be exercised. 

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be 
reduced by lease payments that are allocated between 
repayments of principal and finance costs. The finance 
cost is the amount that produces a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the 
lease liability. 

The lease liability is reassessed when there is a change 
in the lease payments. Changes in lease payments 
arising from a change in the lease term or a change 
in the assessment of an option to purchase a leased 
asset. The revised lease payments are discounted 
using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate at the 
date of reassessment when the rate implicit in the 
lease cannot be readily determined. 

The amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability 
is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount 
of the right-of-use asset. The exception being when 
the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been 
reduced to zero then any excess is recognised in profit 
or loss. 

Payments under leases can also change when there 
is either a change in the amounts expected to be 
paid under residual value guarantees or when future 
payments change through an index or a rate used 
to determine those payments, including changes in 
market rental rates following a market rent review. 

The remeasurement of the lease liability is dealt with 
by a reduction in the carrying amount of the right-of-
use asset to reflect the full or partial termination of the 
lease for lease modifications that reduce the scope of 

Acrow Annual Report 202164

3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

the lease. Any gain or loss relating to the partial or full 
termination of the lease is recognised in profit or loss. 

The right-of-use asset is adjusted for all other lease 
modifications. The Group has elected to account for 
low-value assets using the practical expedients. These 
leases relate to mobile IT devices such as computer 
monitors, laptops and mobile telephones. Instead of 
recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the 
payments in relation to these are recognised as an 
expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term.

The Group as a lessor 

As a lessor the Group classifies its leases as either 
operating or finance leases. A lease is classified as a 
finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks 
and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying 
asset and classified as an operating lease if it does not.

(O)  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND 
INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED

Adoption in accounting policy 

The Group currently does not have any software 
development costs relating to software the group 
does not control recorded in Intangible assets. Some 
applications that the business use are covered by 
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements that have 
incurred minimal customization and configuration 
costs, all these have been expensed as incurred.

4.  REVENUE 

In dollars

Revenue from contracts with customers

Labour services transferred over time

Cartage services transferred over time

Following the IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda 
decision on Configuration or Customisation Costs 
in a Cloud Computing Arrangement in March 2021. 
The Group has reaffirmed its accounting treatment 
set out in the IFRS IC agenda decision, which is to 
recognise those costs as intangible assets only if the 
implementation activities create an intangible asset 
that the Group controls and the intangible asset meets 
the recognition criteria, should these arise in the future. 
Configuration, customisation and implementation costs 
that do not result in intangible assets are expensed 
as incurred, unless they are paid to the suppliers of 
the SaaS arrangement to significantly customise the 
cloud-based software for the Group, in which case the 
costs are recorded as a prepayment for services and 
amortised over the expected renewable term of the 
arrangement.

(P)  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND 
INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

Australian Accounting Standards and Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) interpretations not 
yet adopted by the Group are not expected to have a 
material impact to the Group.

Property, plant and equipment are at times sold prior to the end of its useful life however this is irregular and only 
under specific conditions. On acquisition of property plant and equipment there is no intention to dispose through 
sale. In the case property, plant and equipment is sold, it is not transferred to inventory rather it is sold directly out 
of property, plant and equipment.

15.  LEASES
The Group leases property, forklifts, motor vehicles and printers. 

Property lease terms are up to 10 years and often include extension options. Forklift lease terms are up to 7 years, 
motor vehicle lease terms are to 3 years, whilst all printers are for a 5-year lease term. The printers form one 
master lease agreement while all other leases are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a broad range of 
terms and conditions. 

Lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for 
borrowing purposes. 

With the exception of short-term leases and leases of low-value underlying assets, each lease is reflected in the 
consolidated statement of financial position as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost and comprise: 

	■ Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee;

	■ An estimate of restoration or make good costs; 

	■ The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability and

	■ Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received.

Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended. The 
assessment is reviewed if a significant event or change in circumstance occurs which affects this assessment and 
that is within the control of the lessee.

Lease payments not recognised as liabilities 

The Group has elected not to recognise a lease liability for low value leases (where an asset is valued at USD5,000 
or lower per AASB 16). Payments for these are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the statement 
of profit or loss. 

Low value assets are predominately portable IT and telecommunication equipment. The undiscounted cash flows 
on the remaining lease term at the reporting date are as follow:

16.  GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the 
difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. 

Goodwill is stated at costs less any accumulated impairment losses.

Acrow annually tests goodwill with indefinite useful lives for impairment. An asset that does not generate 
independent cash flows is tested for impairment as part of a cash generating unit (CGU). 

Where there is an impairment loss, it is recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the carrying amount of 
an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The asset’s recoverable amount is estimated based on the higher of its 
value-in-use and fair value less costs to sell.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on a value-in-use calculation. This calculation uses 
discounted cash flow projections based upon management’s projected EBITDA and financial budgets approved by 
the board of directors covering a five-year period*. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using 
the cash flows for year 5 and the estimated long-term growth rates. 

The discount rate used is the Group’s weighted average cost of capital. The terminal growth rate reflects the 
management’s outlook on growth.

Increase in EBIT from 2021 to 2022 is 14.8% and between 0.4% and 6.3% for the following 4 years. The large increase in the 2022 year 
is predicated as Natform momentum in the last quarter of 2021 continuing into 2022. 

Impairment testing on Natform companies

Goodwill of $7,301,902 was recorded at 31 August 2018 with respect to the acquisition of Natform Pty Ltd and 
Natform (QLD) Pty Ltd. The recoverable amount of CGU was determined based on value-in-use calculations which 
require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by 
management covering a five-year period.

Sensitivity

Management has made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. Should these 
judgements and estimates not occur, the carrying value of goodwill may vary. Any reasonable change in the key 
assumptions on which the estimates and/or the discount rate are based would not cause the carrying amount of 
the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount.

A second and final payment of $2,250,000 relating to Natform was paid on 13 September 2020 to 
Margaret Prokop. 

A deferred payment of $1,500,000, reduced by $182,056 adjustments relating to Uni-span acquisition was paid 
on 1 October 2020. A further deferred payment of $3,500,000 is payable in September 2021 along with further 
adjustments which is currently valued at $3,338,025. 

All Uni-span deferred considerations are recognised at the present value of future expected cash outflows, based 
on Acrow’s incremental borrowing rate.

A contingent consideration of $148,264 has been provided for and payable in September 2021 as the combined 
EBITDA, $18,124,591 of the Group (being the Group’s EBITDA $18,474,591 less $350,000 gain on fair value 
derivatives on shares issued to the vendors) exceeds the Benchmark EBITDA $18,000,000 set at acquisition. 
This is a subsequent adjustment to acquisition and therefore does not impact the goodwill calculated at 
acquisition date.

All borrowings are secured by interlocking guarantees where each company within the group jointly and severally 
guarantees the repayment of loans to the lending institution. All loans are secured over the assets and inventory of 
the Group.

Covenants are reviewed half-yearly with the lender. The Group has complied with all the respective borrowing 
covenants throughout the year ended 30 June 2021. The covenant measures include Debt Service Cover ratio, 
Equity ratio and Total Debt to EBITDA ratio.

Interest rates on secured amortised business loans are variable and dependent on prevailing market rates and 
bank margins. 

All borrowing costs incurred in the year have been expensed.

While tax losses and temporary differences do not expire under current tax legislation, deferred tax assets have 
not been recognised in respect of these items as certain subsidiaries have experienced a number of years without 
taxable income and therefore recovery is not considered probable. The tax losses do not expire under current 
tax legislation.

The potential benefit of the deferred tax asset in respect of tax losses carried forward will only be obtained if:

(i)  The subsidiaries continue to derive future assessable income of a nature and an amount sufficient to enable 

the benefit to be realised; 

(ii)  The subsidiaries continue to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by the law; 

(iii) No changes in tax legislation adversely affect the subsidiaries in realising the asset and

(iv) The subsidiaries pass the continuity of ownership test, or the same business test as outlined by the Australian 

Taxation Office.

23.  CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Management monitors the capital of the Group, in order 
to maintain a good debt to equity ratio, provide the 
shareholders with adequate returns and ensure that 
the Group can fund its operations and continue as a 
going concern. 

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share 
capital and borrowings.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements.

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital 
by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting 
its capital structure in response to changes in these 
risks and in the market. These responses include 
the management of debt levels, distributions to 
shareholders and share issues.

The Board is targeting a dividend payout ratio of 
between 30% and 50% of its operating cash profit 
which it defines as EBITDA less maintenance capital 
expenditure and less tax paid. 

24.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing profit for the year 
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent 
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the year.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit 
attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Parent 
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares 
outstanding during the year plus the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares that would be issued on 
conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares 
into ordinary shares.

Other related party transactions

Acrow also leases a number of industrial and 
commercial properties from Margaret Prokop’s 
personal companies (MRP Property Pty Ltd 
& MRP Superannuation Pty Ltd) through the 
Natform subsidiaries. 

Margaret Prokop was previously a director of Natform 
companies and upon the sale of Natform to Acrow, 
Margaret was appointed as a director of the Group. 
Rental and related property payments to her companies 
amounted to $852,581 (2020: $740,158). Lease terms 
are up to 8 years. Balance outstanding at 30 June 2021 
was $6,635 (2020: nil).

The first $2,250,000 deferred consideration was 
paid to Margaret Prokop for the acquisition of 
Natform companies in September 2019 and a further 
$2,250,000 was paid in September 2020.

Natform engages Margaret Prokop’s brother, the 
proprietor of Nat Pty Ltd to manufacture and 
assemble screens for Natform, the amount incurred 
was $1,235,128 in 2021 (2020: $917,660); balance 
outstanding at 30 June 2021 was $132,394 (2020: nil).

During the year there were no transactions between the 
parent entity and the subsidiaries within the Group.

29.  SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
At 30 June 2021 the Group had the following share 
based payment arrangements.

Loan Funded Shares

The Group carries forward only Loan Funded Shares 
issued in 2018 where selected employees and directors 
of the Group had been granted an interest-free loan 
to subscribe to shares of Acrow Formwork and 
Construction Services Limited. 

These loans are non-recourse other than to the shares 
held by that employee/director, and the proceeds of the 
loan must be used to buy shares. As the only recourse 
on the loans is the shares and there are vesting 
conditions, the arrangement has been accounted for as 
share options, as required under accounting standards. 

These options entitle the holders to receive 
dividends on ordinary shares of the Group, and these 
dividends are required to be used to repay the loans 
described above. 

The Loan Funded Shares have the following terms:

(i)  Date of issue: 27 March 2018

(ii)  Loan term: 5 years;

(iii) Interest: No interest is payable; and

(iv) Vesting hurdles: subject to being a continuous 

employee or director of the Group for 2 years from 
the date of issue, and the 20-day (at any point over 
the vesting period) volume weighted average share 
price (“VWAP”) of the Group’s share price exceeding 
40 cents per share (post the share consolidation).
The fair value at grant date was determined using 

Acrow Annual Report 2021 
82

29.  SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)

an adjusted form of the Monte-Carlo model that factors in market conditions. The grant date fair value of rights 
granted in the year was $0.1071.

All vesting hurdles have been met at 27 March 2020, none of these have been exercised at reporting date and thus 
no corresponding loan have been affected.

The model inputs for the in-substance options granted had included:

a)  Exercise price $0.20

b)  Share price at grant date $0.20

c)  Expected price volatility 75%- based on comparable companies

d)  Expected dividend yield 0% 

e)  Risk-free interest rate 2.41%

f)  Expected life 3 years

Performance Rights

Since July 2020 the Group has granted 15,946,950 
performance rights to selected employees over two 
plans being 7,836,950 for FY 2021 and 8,110,000 for FY 
2022, including issues to the CEO Steven Boland who 
received 1,102,000 units for each plan, hence 2,204,000 
units in total over the two years.

i.  A threshold cumulative return equal to the 
market is required below which no vesting 
will occur. 

ii.  A target return of 120% of the index TSR will 
vest 50% of performance rights and pro rata 
between 100% of index return and 120% of 
index return.

The performance rights have the following terms:

iii.  Above 120% of index return up to a 

(i)  Exercise price: nil;

(ii)  Conversion: upon vesting, conversion to shares on a 

1 for 1 basis;

(iii) Dividends: not entitled until performance rights 

are exercised;

(iv) Vesting hurdles: 

maximum of 200% index return the balance 
of the performance rights will vest on a pro 
rata basis.

c.  The performance rights will be measured 

between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2021 for the 
2021 issue and 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2022 
for the 2022 issue.

a.  75% of each issue measured on Earnings per 
share (EPS) criteria specifically “Underlying

30.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management objectives and policies 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest 
rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability 
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain 
risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for economic hedging purposes and not as trading or 
speculative instruments. 

The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include 
sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, and aging analysis for credit 
risk. There was no open foreign exchange contract at 30 June 2021. 

Fair value hierarchy

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for 
disclosure purposes.

Fair value inputs are summarised as follows:

Level 1:  

Level 2:  

 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, 
and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the 
reporting period.

 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-
counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable 
market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to 
fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Level 3:  

 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is 
included in Level 3.

Fair value inputs are summarised as follows:

Fair Value Hierarchy

Valuation Technique

Derivatives – forward 
exchange contracts

Level 2

Level 2

Derivatives – financial 
liability with equity 
instrument on Uni-span 
acquisition

The fair value is determined using quoted forward exchange 
rates at the reporting date and present value calculations 
based on a yield curve sourced from available market data 
quoted for the respective currencies.

The fair value of shares issued to the sellers of Uni-span 
is determined using quoted share price on the date of 
acquisition. Any subsequent movement of the share price is 
remeasured at the reporting date until the end of the escrow 
period and any further liability is settled either by way of cash 
or additional issue of shares.

Fair value hierarchy is re-assessed annually for any change in circumstance that may suggest a revised level be 
assigned to a type of balance measured at fair value.

The Group’s risk management is coordinated by management, in close cooperation with the Board of Directors, 
and focuses on actively securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the exposure to 
financial markets. 

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes. The most 
significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 30 June 2021Acrow Annual Report 202185

Market risk analysis 

The Group is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to interest rate risk 
and certain other price risks, which result from its operating activities.

At 30 June 2021, the Group held interest bearing loans of $22,338,848 (2020: $21,818,496) and held net overdraft 
of $111,316 (2020: $7,238,511).

A reasonable increase of 100 basis points in interest rates on variable instruments at the reporting date would have 
$167,644 (2020: $130,860) negative impact on the net profit, whereas a decrease of 100 basis points would have 
$155,373 (2020: $147,260) positive impact on the net profit.

30.  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

Credit risk analysis 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to 
this risk principally through receivables from customers. The Group leases hire gear and provides services to 
consumers pursuant to policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that there is no concentration of credit 
risk with any particular individual, company or other entity. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited 
to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at the reporting date, as summarised below:

Classes of financial assets 

Cash and cash equivalents

Bank overdraft

Trade and other receivables 

2021

2020

1,754,622

7,238,511

–

24,611,736

17,014,660

24,500,420

24,253,171

The Group continuously monitors defaults of 
customers and other counterparties, identified 
either individually or by group and incorporates this 
information into its credit risk controls. Where available 
at reasonable cost, external credit ratings and/or 
reports on customers and other counterparties are 
obtained and used. The Group’s policy is to deal only 
with creditworthy counterparties. 

The Group maintains a provision for receivable losses 
equivalent to the lifetime expected credit losses from 
initial recognition of those receivables. 

The process for establishing the provision for losses is 
critical to the Group’s results of operations and financial 
condition. Credit risk grew in-line with the growth of the 
loan and lease receivables. The Group uses a simplified 
lifetime expected credit loss approach, which includes 
consideration of customer specific factors, current 
conditions, future expected economic conditions, and 
actual credit loss experience. 

Macroeconomic Scenarios

Expected credit losses (“ECL”) are a probability-
weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected 
life of the financial instrument. The Group has a 
process for incorporating forward looking economic 
scenarios and determining the probability weightings 
assigned to each scenario in determining the overall 
ECL. The Group prepares a base, best and worst-case 
scenarios based on economic variables.

The Group has incorporated this by use of a 
management overlay or economic risk reserve as 
explained below. 

Management overlay 

An economic risk reserve through management overlay 
was established in the prior year and increased on 
the acquisition of Uni-span to incorporate unexpected 
economic shocks. This overlay is therefore in addition 
to the standard modelled provision under AASB 9 
Financial Instruments. 

As the full impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were 
yet to be felt at balance date, the Group has yet to see 
the anticipated increase in delinquencies which would 
flow through to the modelled expected loss provision. 
In fact, at year end, debtor days had improved by 
7 days from the previous year end. As these likely 
future delinquencies are not currently captured in 
the modelled outcome, the Group has specifically 
considered the likely industry specific impacts and 
customer impacts. 

The modelled performance of these receivables will 
evolve as the situation unfolds and more data is 
available to model or understand the credit risk and 
loss implications from the COVID-19 pandemic and the 
mitigating impact of government stimulus. Over time as 
the impacts work their way into the reported variables 
the overlay can be expected to reduce as the impact 
becomes reflected in the routine modelled outcome. 

Write-off policy 

The Group writes off financial assets in whole or in 
part, when it has exhausted all practical recovery 
efforts and has concluded there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no 
reasonable expectation of recovery include (i) ceasing 
enforcement activity and (ii) where the Group’s recovery 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ending 30 June 2021Acrow Annual Report 202187

method is foreclosing on collateral and the value of the 
collateral such that there is no reasonable expectation 
of full recovery.

Liquidity risk analysis 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable 
to meet its obligations. 

The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring 
scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term 
financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and 
outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for 
analysing these cash flows is consistent with that used 
in the contractual maturity analysis below. 

Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, 
on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, as well as 
on a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity 
needs for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are 
identified monthly. 

Net cash requirements are compared to available 
borrowing facilities to determine headroom or 

any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available 
borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over 
the lookout period. Refer to note 19 for undrawn 
borrowing facilities.

The Group’s objective is to maintain cash to meet its 
liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a minimum. 
Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally 
secured by an adequate amount of committed 
credit facilities. 

The Group considers expected cash flows from 
financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity 
risk, notably its cash resources and trade receivables. 

The following liquidity risk disclosures reflect all 
contractually fixed repayments and interest resulting 
from recognised financial liabilities and derivatives 
as of 30 June 2021. The timing of cash flows for 
liabilities is based on the contractual terms of the 
underlying contract.

35  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Group raised $10,500,000 on 27th July 2021 
at 38 cents per share via an institutional placement 
resulting in the issue of 27,631,579 new ordinary 
shares. The capital was raised primarily for the 
immediate future to fund the capital investment 
requirements of the fast-growing Industrial Services 
division and to capitalise on the numerous civil 
infrastructure opportunities on the horizon. The balance 
of the funds will add strength to the Company’s balance 
sheet and provide flexibility to act quickly as compelling 
further growth opportunities present themselves. The 
new shares issued under the Placement rank equally 
with Acrow’s existing fully paid ordinary shares.

Further, 280,500 units of Loan Funded shares were 
exercised and converted in full as ordinary shares on 
the 13 July 2021, bringing total number of ordinary 
shares to 247,289,287 units.

Equipment finance loans of $2,714,776 were drawn 
subsequent to 30 June 2021 repayable in full by 
July 2024 and Trade finance loans of $1,480,563 were 
drawn in July repayable in full between September 
2021 to January 2022. 

An insurance premium finance loan of $968,752 was 
drawn on the 27 August 2021 repayable in full by 
27 June 2022.

On 25 August 2021 the Directors declared a franked 
dividend of 1.15 cents per share to be paid on Thursday 
25 November 2021. Dividend Reinvestment Plan 
is available for election. The dividend has not been 
provided for in this financial report as it was not 
declared until after 30 June 2021. 

Impact of COVID-19 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the 
estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these 
consolidated financial statements. The estimation 
uncertainty is associated with: 

	■ The extent and duration of the disruption 
to businesses arising from the actions by 

governments, businesses and consumers to 
contain the spread of the virus;

	■ The extent and duration of the expected economic 
downturn. This includes the disruption to capital 
markets, deteriorating availability of credit, liquidity 
concerns, increasing unemployment, declines in 
consumer discretionary spending, reductions in 
production because of decreased demand, and 
other restructuring activities; and

	■ The effectiveness of government and central bank 
measures that have and will be put in place to 
support businesses and consumers through this 
disruption and economic downturn. 

The Group has developed estimates in these 
consolidated financial statements based on forecasts 
of economic conditions which reflect expectations and 
assumptions as at 30 June 2021 about future events that 
the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances. 

There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in 
preparing forecasts. 

The underlying assumptions are subject to uncertainties 
which are often outside the control of the Group. 

Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be 
different from those forecast since anticipated events 
frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of 
those differences may significantly impact accounting 
estimates included in these financial statements.

Two new non-executive directors have been appointed, 
Melanie Allibon (joined effective 1 September 2021) and 
Laurie Lefcourt (who will join effective 1 October 2021 will 
also Chair the Audit & Risk Committee).  

Other than the above matter there has not otherwise 
arisen between the end of the year end period and the 
date of this report any item, transaction or event of 
a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of 
the directors of the Group, to affect significantly the 
operations of the Group, the results of those operations, 
or the state of the affairs of the Group, in future 
financial years.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: a giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and  b complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.    Acrow Annual Report 202197

       97 Key audit matters  Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.   Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Carrying value of goodwill (Note 16)  As disclosed in Note 16, intangibles comprise goodwill relating to the acquisition of Natform Pty Ltd and Natform (QLD) Pty Ltd which amounts to $7.3 million.  In accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets, the Group is required to test the carrying value of goodwill annually. Management has tested goodwill for impairment by comparing the carrying value of the assets related to this cash-generating unit to a valuation model based on the value in use of these assets.  We have determined this is a key audit matter as this assessment requires the exercise of significant judgement about forecasting future revenues and expenses, including discount rates applied to cash flows. Our procedures included, amongst others:  Enquiring with management to obtain and document an understanding of the processes and controls related to the assessment of impairment, including the calculation of the recoverable amount;   Obtaining management’s value in use calculations to: o Test the mathematical accuracy;  o Evaluate management’s ability to perform accurate estimates by comparing historical forecasting to actual results;  o Test forecast cash inflows and outflows; and  o Assess the discount rates applied to forecast future cash flows;   Evaluating the value in use model against the requirements of AASB 136, including consultation with our valuations experts;   Performing sensitivity analysis on the significant inputs and assumptions made by management in preparing the calculation; and   Assessing the adequacy of financial report and accounting policy disclosures. Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial report  The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.    Acrow Annual Report 202198

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT for the year ending 30 June 2021       98 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report  Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilites/ar1_2020.pdf.

Responsibilities The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
