E4G INVESTMENT HOLDINGS PTY LTD AND CONTROLLED SUBSIDIARIES 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 

3  

Directors Report 
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred 
to hereafter as the ‘consolidated entity’) consisting of E4G Investment Holdings Pty Ltd (referred to hereafter 
as “the Company” or ‘parent entity’) and its controlled entities at the end of, or during, the financial year ended 
31 December 2019. 

Directors 
The names of the directors in office at any time during, or since the end of, the year are: 

Giuseppe Leone 
Daniel Hibbs 
Michael Fennell (Appointed 7 June 2019) 
Min Lu (Resigned 11 March 2020) 
Qiudong Qiao (Appointed 11 March 2020) 

Directors have been in office since the beginning of the year to the date of this report unless otherwise 
stated.  

Review of Operations 
The profit for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax and non-controlling interest amounted to 
$4,115,639 (2018: $1,256,208). 

Dividends 
Dividends paid during the year was $576,000 (2018: $521,486). 

Principal activities 
The  consolidated  entity’s  primary  activity  is  engineering  and  construction  and  self-performs  engineering, 
design, fabrication, installation, maintenance and commissioning for projects in the mining & minerals, oil & 
gas and infrastructure sectors. 

No significant change in the nature of these activities occurred during the year. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 
There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year. 

Events subsequent to the end of the reporting date 
On 11 March 2020 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health 
Organisation. The impact of COVID-19 on the consolidated entity is likely to have a material impact on 
operational revenue and expenses if either the Australian Federal Government or Western Australian State 
Government were to impose a restrictive lock-down on essential services that effects the consolidated 
entity’s operational sites.  

As at the date of this report: 

a)  The consolidated entity has the ability to materially curtail its activities during the forthcoming financial 

year in response to any government restrictions and social distancing requirements; 

b)  The impacts on operational revenue and expenses cannot yet be reliably estimated; and 

c)  The consolidated entity believes it has sufficient cash reserves to support its curtailed activities. 

Future development, prospects and business strategies 
Likely developments in the operations of the consolidated entity and the expected results of those operations 
in future financial years have not been included in this report as the inclusion of such information is likely to 
result in unreasonable prejudice to the consolidated entity. 

Environmental issues 
The consolidated entity is subject to environmental regulations under a law of the Commonwealth or of a 
state or territory of Australia. The consolidated entity is not aware of any breach of any environmental 
regulations. 

Options 
No options over issued shares or interests in E4G Investment Holdings Pty Ltd were granted during or since 
the end of the financial year and there were no options outstanding at the date of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 
TO THE MEMBERS OF 
 E4G INVESTMENT HOLDINGS PTY LIMITED 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of E4G Investment Holdings Pty Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries 
(the  Group),  which  comprises  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  as  at  31  December  2019,  the 
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes 
in  equity  and  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to  the  financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.  

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:  

(i)  giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group's  financial  position  as  at  31  December  2019  and  of  its  financial 

performance for the year then ended; and  

(ii)   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 (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 confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's 
report. 

We  believe  that  the  audit  evidence  we  have  obtained  is  sufficient  and  appropriate  to  provide  a  basis  for  our 
opinion.

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 31 December 2019 but does not include the financial report and 
the auditor's report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly 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 ability of the Group 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.  

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_responsibilities/ar4.pdf.    This 
description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Statement of significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted 
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations 
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting 
period. 

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been 
early adopted. 

The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the consolidated entity: 

AASB 16 Leases 
The consolidated entity has adopted AASB 16 from 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 
'Leases' and for lessees eliminates the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Except for 
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are 
recognised in the statement of financial position. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition is 
replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets (included in operating costs) and an interest 
expense on the recognised lease liabilities (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the 
expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under 
AASB 117. However, EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results 
improve as the operating expense is now replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss. For 
classification within the statement of cash flows, the interest portion is disclosed in operating activities and 
the principal portion of the lease payments are separately disclosed in financing activities. For lessor 
accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. 

Impact of adoption 
AASB 16 was adopted using the modified retrospective adoption and as such the comparatives have not 
been restated. The impact of adoption on opening retained profits as at 1 January 2019 was as follows: 

Operating lease commitments as at 1 January 2019 (AASB 117) – Note 26 

Operating lease commitments discount based on weight average incremental 
borrowing rate of 8.3% (AASB 16) 

Finance lease commitments as at 1 January 2019 (AASB 117) – Note 26 

Short-term leases not recognised as a right-of-use assets (AASB 16) 

Low-value assets leases not recognised as a right-of-use assets (AASB 16) 

Right-of-use assets (AASB 16) 

Lease liabilities – current (AASB 16) 

Lease liabilities – non-current (AASB 16)

Basis of preparation 
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting  
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the 
Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply 
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 
('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where 
applicable, the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets 
at fair value through other comprehensive income, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant 
and equipment and derivative financial instruments.. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also 
requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's 
accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where 
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the 
consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 22. 

Principles of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities of all subsidiaries of E4G Investment 
Holdings Pty Ltd (‘company’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 31 December 2019 and results of all subsidiaries for the 
year then ended. E4G Investment Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these 
financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.  

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity 
controls an entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities 
of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the 
consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the 
consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides 
evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed 
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in 
ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference 
between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest 
acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in 
equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-
controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance. 

Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, 
liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences 
recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the 
fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Business combinations 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether 
equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

Notes to the financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 

The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred, equity 
instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of 
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interest in 
the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net 
assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic 
conditions, the consolidated entity's operating or accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in 
existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously 
held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value 
and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. 
Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is 
recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its 
subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any 
pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the 
pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, being a bargain 
purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer on the 
acquisition-date, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets 
acquired, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer's 
previously held equity interest in the acquirer. 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts 
the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the 
measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at 
the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the 
acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. 

Revenue recognition 
The consolidated entity recognises revenue as follows: 

Revenue from contracts with customers 
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is 
expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with 
a customer, the consolidated entity : identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance 
obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable 
consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance 
obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be 
delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that 
depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised. 

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer 
such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other 
contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' 
method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue 
will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of 
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty 
associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to 
the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund 
liability.

Notes to the financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 

Sale of goods 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the 
goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. 

Rendering of services 
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on 
either a fixed price or an hourly rate. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of 
calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period 
using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts 
through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

Income tax 
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on 
the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior 
periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be 
applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or 
substantively enacted, except for: 

•  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or 
liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or 

•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint 

ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 
will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is 
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

The carrying amount of recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting 
date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future 
taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred 
tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to 
recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate 
to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to 
settle simultaneously. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred 
is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of 
the asset or as part of the expense. 
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount 
of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in 
the statement of financial position. 
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating 
cash flows.

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, 
the tax authority. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current 
classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed 
in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected 
to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless 
restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. 
All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to 
be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it 
is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as 
non-current. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Cash and cash equivalents  
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other 
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For 
the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, 
which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest method, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days. 

The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses 
a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been 
grouped based on days overdue. 

Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. 

Contract assets 
Contract assets are recognised when the consolidated entity has transferred goods or services to the customer 
but where the consolidated entity is yet to establish an unconditional right to consideration. Contract assets 
are treated as financial assets for impairment purposes. 

Inventories 
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value 
on a 'weighted average cost' basis. Cost comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, direct labour, 
import duties and other taxes, an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure based 
on normal operating capacity, and, where applicable, transfers from cash flow hedging reserves in equity. 
Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and 
delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs 
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated 
depreciation.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 

Plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment losses.  

The cost of fixed assets constructed within the consolidated entity includes the cost of materials, direct 
labour, borrowing costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Subsequent costs 
are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is 
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the 
cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss 
during the financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised leased assets, but excluding 
freehold land, is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity  
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of 
either the unexpired year of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The depreciation rates 
used for each class of depreciable assets are::  

Class of fixed asset 

Depreciation rate 

Plant & machinery, fixtures, fittings & office equip 
Motor vehicles 
Computer equipment and software 
Leasehold improvements 

5% - 25% 
20% 
10% - 40% 
5% - 15% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting 
period date.  

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying 
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of 
the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic 
benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds 
are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred 
directly to retained profits.. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at 
their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at 
cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any 
impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any 
impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible 
assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the 
intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes 
in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the 
amortisation method or period. 

Software 
Significant costs associated with software are deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis over the period 
of their expected benefit, being their finite life. 

Right-of-use assets 
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured 
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease 
payment made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct 
costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be 
incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain 
ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. 
Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. 

The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for 
short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these 
assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Lease liabilities 
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised 
at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the 
interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's 
incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives 
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under 
residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably 
certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend 
on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts 
are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index 
or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. 
When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to 
profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are 
tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they 
might be impaired. Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised 
for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-
in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount 
rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have 
independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 

Trade and other payables  
Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the consolidated entity 
that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period.  The balance is recognised as a current liability with the 
amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability. 

Contract liabilities 
Contract liabilities represent the consolidated entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer 
and are recognised when a customer pays consideration, or when the consolidated entity recognises a 
receivable to reflect its unconditional right to consideration (whichever is earlier) before the consolidated 
entity has transferred the goods or services to the customer. 

Refund liabilities 
Refund liabilities are recognised where the consolidated entity receives consideration from a customer and 
expects to refund some, or all, of that consideration to the customer. A refund liability is measured at the 
amount of consideration received or receivable for which the consolidated entity does not expect to be 
entitled and is updated at the end of each reporting period for changes in circumstances. Historical data is 
used across product lines to estimate such returns at the time of sale based on an expected value 
methodology.

Borrowings 
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of 
transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in 
the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs. 

Finance costs 
Finance costs attributable to qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the asset. All other finance costs are 
expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 

Employee benefits 

Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave 
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of 
services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. 
Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and 
periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on 
corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future 
cash outflows. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred. 

Provisions  
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of 
past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be 
reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of amounts required to settle the 
obligation at the end of the reporting year. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure 
purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a 
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that 
the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the 
most advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or 
liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value 
measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the 
circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the 
use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. 

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that 
reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at 
each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest 
level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Notes to the financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 1. Statement of significant accounting policies continued 

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal 
expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are 
selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an 
asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the 
major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of 
data. 

Comparative figures  
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year.  

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a 
deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the 
company. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not 
yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 
31 December 2019. 

Critical accounting estimates and judgments 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates 
its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. 
Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other 
various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the 
circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual 
results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next 
financial year are discussed below. 

Revenue recognised over time 
The consolidated entity has revenue where the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue is 
recognised over time by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. 
A single method is applied consistently for measuring progress for each performance obligation satisfied 
over time. Judgment is required when selecting a method (output or input methods) for measuring progress 
toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation. Assessing the satisfaction of performance 
obligations over time requires judgment and the consideration of many criteria that should be met to qualify. 
Events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated under the 
assumptions occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the estimates since other anticipated 
events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material 

Allowance for expected credit losses 
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is 
based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to 
allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales 
experience and historical collection rates.

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The consolidated entity determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation 
charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change 
significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation 
charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or 
non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite 
life intangible assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to 
the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of 
the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, which 
incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the consolidated entity 
considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences 
and losses. 

Employee benefits provision 
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from 
the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be 
made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, 
estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account.

The current portion of these liabilities represents the consolidated entity’s obligations to which the employee 
has a current legal entitlement. These liabilities arise mainly from accrued annual leave and long service 
leave entitlements at reporting date. 

A provision has been recognised for employee benefits relating to long service leave for employees. In 
calculating the present value of future cash flows in respect of long service leave, the probability of long 
service leave being taken is based upon historical data. The measurement and recognition criteria for 
employee benefits are described note 1.

Note 17. Equity – Issued Capital continued 

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon 
a poll each share shall have one vote. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net 
debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of 
dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce 
debt. 

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given 
priority in all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing 
arrangements during the financial year.  

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 31 December 2018 Annual Report.

  Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The consolidated entity's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk and 
interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk.  The  consolidated  entity'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 consolidated entity. The consolidated entity 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 and other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the 
Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the 
consolidated entity and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and 
hedges financial risks within the consolidated entity's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a 
monthly basis.

Notes to the financial statements 
31 December 2019 

Note 19. Financial instruments continued 

Market risk 

Price risk 
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk. 

Interest rate risk 
The consolidated entity's main interest rate risk arises from borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates 
expose the consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the consolidated 
entity to fair value risk.   

The Commonwealth Bank debtor financing facility is the only material borrowing obtained at variable rates. 
Due to the nature of the facility, wherein the drawdowns are generally fully repaid within 1-2 months, upon 
receipt of payments from customers, the consolidated entity does not have material interest rate exposure 
typically associated with regular variable rate bank borrowings.  

Credit risk  
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial 
loss to the consolidated entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency 
credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains 
guarantees where  appropriate to mitigate credit risk.  The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting 
date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, 
as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity 
does not hold any collateral. 

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of 
this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure 
to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year. 

Liquidity risk 
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the consolidated entity to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly 
cash and cash equivalents) and available borrowing facilities to be able to pay debts as and when they 
become due and payable. 

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available 
borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity 
profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

Financing arrangements 
Unused borrowing facilities at the reporting date:

Remaining contractual maturities 
The following tables detail the consolidated entity's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument 
liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based 
on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest 
and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ 
from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

  Events after the reporting date 

On  11  March  2020  Novel  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  was  declared  a  global  pandemic  by  the  World  Health 
Organisation.  The  impact  of  COVID-19  on  the  company  is  likely  to  have  a  material  impact  on  operational 
revenue and expenses if either the Australian Federal Government or Western Australian State Government 
were to impose a restrictive lock-down on essential services that effects the Company’s operational sites.  

As at the date of this report: 
a)  The Company has the ability to materially curtail its activities during the forthcoming financial year in 

response to any government restrictions and social distancing requirements; 

b)  The impacts on operational revenue and expenses cannot yet be reliably estimated; and   

c)  The Company believes it has sufficient cash reserves to support its curtailed activities.
