Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual ReportChairman & Managing 
Director’s Review

ii

Bisalloy Steel Group reported accelerated growth for FY20 as our operational and 
strategic initiatives continue to progress to plan. This growth was driven by the 
performance of our Australian operation where an increase in domestic Australian 
market share resulted in sales volumes increasing by 30%.

A Resilient Business Model
Bisalloy Steel Group reported accelerated 
growth for FY20 as our operational and strategic 
initiatives continue to progress to plan. This 
growth was driven by the performance of our 
Australian operation where an increase in 
domestic Australian market share resulted in 
sales volumes increasing by 30%. 

Maintaining the personal, health and safety of 
Bisalloy employees and customers has been 
a key priority in response to the Covid-19 
pandemic. Bisalloy have responded through the 
introduction of comprehensive protocols and 
measures which have been adopted across 
all operating locations. No plant or operational 
closures have occurred to date.

We are well placed to maintain this momentum 
into FY21, albeit with some uncertainty around 
the long-term impact of the pandemic.

During the course of FY20 Bisalloy worked 
closely with key strategic customers and Original 
Equipment Manufacturers. As a result, new 
strategic and long-term supply agreements 
have been put in place, along with a closer 
collaboration with our Australian and International 
distributor and agent networks. Bisalloy is 
increasingly being seen as a premium brand and 
supplier to key companies and industries not only 
in Australia, but also globally.

Demand in Australia is improving in all our major 
segments.....mining, quarrying, construction, 
hydro, manufacturing, heavy transport and 
defence. The partnership strategy with key 
companies in these industries, the continual 

improvement programme to our operations and 
the investment in our people has positioned us 
well to service the Australian market.

Bisalloy has been actively working on expanding 
into markets that we have traditionally not 
serviced which opens new opportunities for 
us. We have heavily invested in the Australian 
Government’s future defence projects and 
have completed testing for these large projects. 
This includes the Land 400 vehicles and future 
submarine programme. We also continue to have 
our products tested by the German defence 
department for use in Australian built defence 
products and other manufacturing areas globally.

Profit from our Chinese co-operative joint 
venture increased marginally in FY20 despite a 
decline in sales volumes year on year. Strong 
volume increases were, however, achieved in 
the final quarter of the year after the Covid-19 
restrictions had been lifted. Our aim remains to 
be the leading premium brand in China. This will 
also allow the Bisalloy Steel Group to supply to 
select international markets, with a known and 
proven product.

The Group’s overseas distribution operations in 
Indonesia and Thailand continue to be profitable, 
with the Indonesian result affected by weaker 
demand. Demand in Thailand remains stable.

Our Armour business continues to be of 
significant strategic importance both domestically 
and internationally. We continue to develop 
and support an alternate supply of specialised 
greenfeed from targeted partner mills overseas

in line with our strategic targets. This product

pace than anticipated due to virus lockdowns

customers and of course shareholders.

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report 
Review of Operations  
and Safety

iv

Safety and environmental management continue to evolve across the Bisalloy 
group. Unanderra manufacturing site gained ISO45001 and ISO14001 certification 
(International Standards Organisation Safety and Environmental management) to 
recognise the company’s mature safety and environmental systems and culture. 

Caring for our Assets
The Unanderra Engineering team implemented a new 
computerised maintenance management program to support 
the development of our asset management program. Our 
sustaining capital program continued to invest in the critical 
production assets, ensuring their longevity and future 
performance. Growth capital investigations are currently 
focussed on opportunities in product coating for armour 
products and energy efficiency opportunities across our plant. 

Safety – our Journey to Zero Harm
Unanderra’s Lost Time Injury (LTI) severity reduced year on 
year, and our LTI frequency remains below the benchmark 
rate for Ferrous Steel Product manufacturing in Australia. Our 
International operations in Indonesia and Thailand maintain 
their highly impressive commitment to safety. They have now 
delivered fifteen years without an LTI with the Chinese Joint 
venture, passing nine years LTI-free.

Productivity Improvement
Our signature BisEnergy program was used to continue the 
improvement of productivity and conversion cost management 
throughout the business. Significant gains were achieved 
in many aspects of the company ranging from freight cost, 
material transfer procedures, production scheduling and 
customer service. 

Feed Security
Bisalloy has consolidated our feed security through further 
cooperation with our joint venture partners in Shandong Steel, 
through two modern alternative mills in Laiwu and Rizhao. We 
also progressed routine greenfeed sourcing for our high-grade 
armour supply from our German supply partner Ilsenburg 
Grobblech (part of the Salzgitter group). Bisalloy remains 
committed to our long-term partners at BlueScope Steel. They 
will continue to supply most of our Unanderra steel feed. 

Innovative Defence and Mining 
industry partner 
Bisalloy remains a trusted partner of many global defence 
equipment manufacturers. We completed the qualification 
production of the Commonwealth Future Attack class 
submarine steel (SEA1000) and await advice for the next 
stages of the program. Bisalloy was also the third company 
globally to qualify to the German Army armoured steel 
specification underpinning the LAND400 program. Both 
headline achievements underpin the group’s Mission to 
“Enabling Innovation with Steel”. 

Mining grade development continued with the imminent launch 
of two Wear grades to support specific applications in large 
mining and mineral processing equipment manufacturing.

Operating and financial Review

Operations

Group

Bisalloy Steel Group comprises Bisalloy Steels Pty Ltd in Australia, the majority owned distribution businesses in Indonesia 
(PT Bima Bisalloy) and Thailand (Bisalloy Thailand) and the investment in the Chinese Co-Operative Joint Venture (CJV) – Bisalloy 
Shangang (Shandong) Steel Plate Co, Ltd.

Bisalloy continues to prioritise the journey to zero harm to our people, stakeholders and the environment. In FY20, the Group 
experienced a reduction in the severity of lost time and medical treatment injuries, but also an increase in the number of minor 
injuries to employees. The commitment to Safety and the Environment further evolved with the formal qualification to the 
International Standards Organisation for Safety and Environmental Management Systems (ISO45001 and ISO14001 respectively) 
being achieved.

Bisalloy Steels is Australia’s only processor of quenched and tempered high strength, abrasion resistant and armour grade alloyed 
steel plates. Bisalloy distributes wear and structural grade plates through both distributors and directly to select manufacturers 
and end users in Australia and internationally. For armour grade steels, Bisalloy exclusively deals directly to select companies.

Bisalloy’s unique stand-alone heat treatment facility at Unanderra near Wollongong is a highly automated and efficient operation 
providing a relatively low-cost base, allowing it to compete with a variety of imported products. During the 12 months ended 30 
June 2020, Bisalloy utilised greenfeed steel supply mainly from neighbouring BlueScope Steel in Wollongong, complimented with 
selected supply from international greenfeed suppliers, including the CJV.

Operating results
The Group’s net profit for the year after income tax was $6,828,000 (2019: $4,431,000). 

The profit increase was primarily driven by a significant increase in domestic Australian sales volumes and margins. Profit from the 
Chinese CJV also increased while the Group’s overseas distribution operations in Indonesia and Thailand remain profitable. 

Operating results are summarised as follows:

in cash and cash equivalents before exchange rate differences 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 of $1,388,000 (2019: 
decrease of $714,000). 

Operating activities resulted in a net cash outflow of 
$2,001,000 (2019: outflow of $1,128,000) due to an increase in 
working capital.

Investing activities required $2,222,000 (2019: $950,000) 
of net cash outflows for investment in operating plant 
and equipment. 

Net cash inflows from financing activities were $2,835,000 
(2019: inflow of $1,364,000), including the dividend paid in 
cash to shareholders in November 2019 totalling $1,472,000 
(2018: $1,495,000). 

Funding 
The Group’s net debt increased to $15.6m at 30 June 2020, 
up from $9.4m at 30 June 2019, with an increase in gearing to 
27%, up from 21% at the end of last year.

In January 2020, Bisalloy Steel Group Limited and Bisalloy 
Steels Pty Limited renewed the existing trade finance facility, 
invoice finance facility and two year bank bill business facility 
with Westpac Banking Corporation. The trade finance facility 
was increased from $6 million to $9 million, the invoice 
financing facility was increased from $10 million to $12 million 
and the bank bill facility was increased to $7 million. The 
total limit of these facilities is $28 million, up from $22 million 
in 2019.

The Group has IDR 44.5b revolver facilities (previously IDR 1b 
and USD$3m) as well as a USD$500k Letter of Credit facility 
available to its Indonesian based subsidiary. The USD revolver 
facilities were converted into IDR facilities in April 2020 in order 
to reduce exposure against foreign exchange movements.

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report06

Business strategy and outlook

Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and 
opportunities identified by the Board.

Strategy

Domestic Australian sales

Market share growth resulted in domestic Australian sales 
volumes increasing by 30% in FY20. Operational efficiency 
and product cost improvements were achieved along with 
a greater presence in the mining, quarrying and heavy 
construction industries.

Bisalloy’s armour products remains a strategic focus with the 
Australian Federal Government’s various projects.

In FY19, Bisalloy successfully completed the supply for the 
first trial and the first qualification heat for the future submarine 
program. Bisalloy completed the supply for the final two 
qualification heats in the second half of FY20. Supply relating 
to this qualification process is commercially rewarding.

Bisalloy continue to work with Rheinmetall Germany on testing 
ahead of acceptance for the LAND400 Phase 2 program. 
Final certification is expected by the end of December 
2020. Further, we continue to work with select international 
defence companies.

Co-Operative Joint Venture in China

In February 2019, Bisalloy’s CJV partner, Shandong Steel, 
began the commissioning of its state of the art steel making 
plant at Rizhao, Shandong province. This facility has added 
20 million tonnes of capacity, making them the second biggest 
steel company in China. The overall result from this plant will 
be positive in the long term, but has been compressed in the 
short term.

Overseas Distribution

The Group’s overseas distribution operations in Indonesia 
and Thailand continue to be profitable, with the Indonesian 
result affected by weaker demand. Demand in Thailand 
remains stable.

Covid-19

Maintaining the personal, health and safety of Bisalloy 
employees and customers has been a key priority in response 
to the Covid-19 pandemic. Bisalloy have responded through 
the introduction of comprehensive protocols and measures 
which have been adopted across all operating locations. No 
plant or operational closures have occurred to date.

FY21 Outlook
The future impact of Covid-19 is unknown at this stage. 
Subject to this, Bisalloy is projecting increased profitability in 
FY21. To achieve this, Bisalloy is continuing with its growth 
strategy focused on premium grades of QT steels from its 
Unanderra plant as well as increasing volumes from its CJV 
operation in China.

Business risk management
The Group takes a proactive approach to risk management. 
The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also 
opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the 

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee 
comprising non-executive Directors, whose meetings 
are also attended by the executive Director. In addition, 
sub-committees are convened as appropriate in response 
to issues and risks identified by the Board, and the sub-
committee further examines the issue and reports back to 
the Board.

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure 
that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with 
the risks identified by the Board. These include the following:

•  Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses 
the Group’s vision, mission and strategy statements, 
designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage 
business risk.

• 

Implementation of Board approved operating plans and 
budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these 
budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of 
KPIs of both a financial and non-financial nature.

•  Establishment of committees to report on specific 

business risks, including for example, such matters as 
environmental issues and concerns and occupational 
health and safety.

•  Board review of financial risks such as the Group’s liquidity, 
currency, interest rate and credit policies and exposures 
and monitors management’s actions to ensure they are in 
line with Group policy.

The major high level business risk with the greatest potential 
to materially impact on the financial outlook for the Group 
is continued upward pressure on energy prices. Both 
electricity, and natural gas in particular, are integral inputs 
into the Group’s manufacturing process, and affordable 
energy resources are critical if the Group is to maintain its 
competitive advantage. Furthermore, supply constraints, 
market dysfunction and higher gas prices may impact many 
sectors of the economy including the mining and agricultural 
sectors on the demand side and the Group’s ability to source 
competitively priced raw material on the supply side. Bisalloy 
Australia currently has retail contacts in place for electricity 
supply through to the end of December 2022 and gas supply 
through to the end of December 2023.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
Total equity increased from $35,190,000 to $42,580,000, an 
increase of $7,390,000. In addition to the net profit for the 
year, the Group recorded a revaluation of land and buildings 
($2,122,000 net of tax), partially offset by a final dividend 
totalling $1,790,000 in respect of the year ended 30 June 2019 
which was paid to shareholders in November 2019, together 
with foreign currency translation gain of $114,000 relating to 
the overseas subsidiaries.

Significant events after the balance date
There have been no significant events after the balance date.

Likely developments and expected results
Bisalloy is continuing with its growth strategy into FY21 in a shift towards focusing on the premium grades of QT steels from its 
Unanderra plant, including armour and defence grades while developing the volume growth of other products sourced from 
Bisalloy’s CJV operation.

This strategy and focus has resulted in strong margin growth in the second half of FY20 with good momentum going into FY21. 
Bisalloy is forecasting profitability to be up in FY21.

Remuneration report (audited)
This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020 
outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Company 
and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations. This 
information has been audited as required by section 308(3C) 
of the Act

The remuneration report details the remuneration 
arrangements for key management personnel (KMP) who are 
defined as those persons having authority and responsibility 
for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of 
the Company and the Group, directly or indirectly, including 
any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent 
company, and includes the five executives in the Group 
receiving the highest remuneration.

Remuneration policy
The remuneration policy is set in recognition that the 
performance of the Group depends upon the quality of its 
Directors and executives. In order to perform, the Group must 
be successful in attracting, motivating and retaining Directors 
and executives of the highest quality.

To assist in achieving this objective, the remuneration policy 
embodies the following principles:

1.  Provide competitive remuneration to attract high calibre 

Directors and executives.

2.  Align executive rewards with creation of shareholder value.

3.  Ensure a significant component of executive remuneration 

is ‘at risk’ dependent upon meeting pre-determined 
performance hurdles.

4.  Establish appropriately demanding performance hurdles in 

relation to variable executive remuneration.

5.  Provide the opportunity for non-executive Directors to 
sacrifice a portion of their fees to acquire shares in the 
Company at market price.

Nominations and remuneration committee
The Nominations and Remuneration Committee is responsible 
for determining and reviewing compensation arrangements 

for the Directors, the Managing Director and other senior 
executives, and the review and recommendation of general 
remuneration principles.

Remuneration structure
The structure of non-executive Director and executive 
remuneration is separate and distinct, in accordance with 
good corporate governance principles.

Non-executive director remuneration

Objective

The Board sets aggregate remuneration at a level which is 
intended to provide the Company with the ability to attract and 
retain non-executive Directors of the highest calibre, whilst 
incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.

Structure

The Company’s constitution and the ASX listing rules specify 
that the non-executive Director fee pool shall be determined 
from time to time by a general meeting. The non-executive 
Director fee pool is currently set at $369,000. The Board will 
not seek any increase for the fee pool at the 2020 AGM.

The remuneration of non-executive Directors must not 
include a commission on, or a percentage of, profits or 
operating revenue but non-executive Directors are entitled to 
be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses incurred in 
attending to the Company’s affairs.

Each non-executive Director receives a fee for being a 
non-executive Director of the Company and an additional 
fee for each Board Committee on which a non-executive 
Director sits. The payment of additional fees for serving on 
a committee recognises the additional time commitment 
required by non-executive Directors who serve on one or more 
sub committees.

Non-executive Directors are encouraged by the Board to 
hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the 
Non-executive Director (“NED”) Share Plan. Under the NED 
Share Plan a non-executive Director can choose to sacrifice up 
to 100% of their annual Director’s fee and instead be allocated 
shares up to the equivalent value. The value of the allocated 

Directors’ Report (continued)for the year ended 30 June 2020Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report09

shares is determined by reference to the market value on the 
day they are acquired on market.

aim is to provide payments in a form that is both optimal for the 
recipient and cost efficient for the Group.

The remuneration of non-executive Directors for the period 
ended 30 June 2020 is detailed in the table on page 11 of this 
report.

Executive director and executive manager remuneration

Objective

The Group aims to reward executives with a level and 
mix of remuneration commensurate with their duties and 
responsibilities within the Group and to:

• 

• 

reward executives for Group, business unit and individual 
performance measured against targets set by reference to 
appropriate benchmarks;

link reward with the achievement of the Group’s 
strategic goals;

•  align the interests of executives with those of 

shareholders; and

•  ensure total remuneration is competitive.

Structure

Executive Director and executive manager remuneration 
consists of the following key components:

1.  Fixed Remuneration

2.  Variable Remuneration made up of:

–  Short Term Incentive (STI); and

–  Long Term Incentive (LTI)

The proportion of total remuneration that is fixed or variable 
(either short term or long term incentives) is determined 
for each individual executive by the Nominations and 
Remuneration Committee.

The remuneration of members of management who have 
the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and 
controlling the activities of the Group for the year ended 
30 June 2020 is detailed in the table on page 11 of this report.

Fixed remuneration

Objective

The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide a base 
level of remuneration which is both commensurate with the 
individual’s duties and responsibilities within the Group and 
competitive in the market.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually by the Nominations 
and Remuneration Committee utilising a process of reviewing 
group-wide, business unit and individual performance, relevant 
comparative remuneration in the market and internal and 
external advice on policies and practice.

Structure

Executive Directors and executive managers are provided 
with the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a 
variety of forms, including cash, additional superannuation 
contributions and fringe benefits such as motor vehicles. The 

The fixed remuneration component of executive Directors 
and members of management who have the authority and 
responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the 
activities of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020 is 
detailed in the table on page 11 of this report.

Variable remuneration – short term incentives (STI)

Objective

The STI program has been designed to align the 
remuneration received by executive Directors and executive 
managers with the achievement of the Group’s operational 
and financial targets. The total potential STI available for 
payment is determined so as to provide sufficient incentive 
to executive Directors and executive managers to achieve 
the targets and so that the cost to the Group is reasonable in 
the circumstances.

Structure

The actual STI payments granted to each executive Director 
and executive manager depends upon the extent to which 
specific operational and financial targets set at the beginning 
of the financial year are met. The targets consist of a 
number of both financial and non-financial Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs).

After the end of each financial year, consideration is given 
to performance against each of these KPIs to determine the 
extent of any payment to an individual executive Director 
or executive manager. The aggregate of STI payments and 
STI payments to individuals is subject to the approval of the 
Nominations and Remuneration Committee. The individual 
needs to be employed at the time of payment to be eligible for 
the payment.

Payments made are normally paid as cash but the recipient is 
also able to elect to receive payment in alternative forms.

Variable remuneration – long term incentives (LTI)

Objective

The LTI program has been designed to align the remuneration 
received by executive Directors and executive managers with 
the creation of shareholder wealth.

Consequently, LTI grants are only made to executives who are 
in a position to influence shareholder wealth and thus have the 
opportunity to influence the company’s performance against 
the relevant long term performance hurdles.

Structure

At the 2019 Annual General Meeting, the LTI plan was renewed 
for LTI grants to executives in the form of share rights.

These rights are granted in two equal parts. The first part 
is based on retention and requires the holder remain an 
employee for three years from grant date. The second part 
is based on delivering superior long-term performance as 
measured by Return on Equity (“ROE”), with each grant of 
rights divided into three equal tranches. For each tranche, 
actual ROE is measured against a budget ROE and a stretch 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual ReportROE as determined annually by the Board in respect of the forthcoming year. The proportion of the rights which vest depend on 
where within this range the Group performs, with 100% vesting on achieving the stretch ROE and no rights vesting if actual ROE 
is less than 90% of the budgeted ROE. For the 2020 year, the stretch ROE was set at 115% of the budget ROE. Any rights to 
which the employee may become entitled on achieving the performance criteria, are still subject to the three year retention criteria 
before they can vest.

10

Any share rights which do not vest, as a result of the relevant performance condition not being satisfied, lapse. If the holder leaves 
the business, the unvested rights lapse on the leaving date unless the Board determines otherwise. In the event of a change in 
control of the Group, the vesting date will generally be brought forward to the date of change of control and share rights will vest 
subject to performance over this shortened period, subject to ultimate Board discretion.

Once vested a holder may exercise their share rights and be allocated a fully paid ordinary share of Bisalloy at no cost to the 
employee or the equivalent in cash at the Board’s discretion. 

A total of 400,000 share rights (2019: 1,200,000) were granted under this scheme during the year. 

Group performance
The Board has determined that 100% of the performance components of the 2020 share rights have vested as the stretch ROE 
was achieved.

Corporate Governance Statement

for the year ended 30 June 2020

The Board of Directors of Bisalloy Steel Group Limited is responsible for establishing the corporate governance framework 
of the Group having regard to the ASX Corporate Governance Council (CGC) published guidelines as well as its corporate 
governance principles and recommendations. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of Bisalloy on behalf of the 
shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. 

The tables below summarise the Group’s compliance with the CGC’s recommendations. 

The Company’s website, from which the documents referred to can be accessed, is at www.bisalloy.com.au

Recommendation

Comply 
Yes/No

Reference/explanation

Principle 1 – Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

1.1  Companies should establish the 

Yes

functions reserved to the Board and 
those delegated to senior executives 
and disclose those functions.

No

1.2 Companies should establish a policy 
concerning diversity and disclose the 
policy or a summary of that policy. The 
policy should include requirements 
for the Board to establish measurable 
objectives for achieving gender 
diversity for the Board to assess 
annually both the objectives and 
progress in achieving them.

1.3 Companies should disclose in 

No

each annual report the measurable 
objectives for achieving gender 
diversity set by the Board in 
accordance with the diversity policy 
and progress toward achieving them.

1.4 Companies should disclose in each 

Yes

annual report the proportion of women 
employees in the whole organisation, 
women in senior executive positions 
and women on the Board.

1.5 Companies should disclose the 

Yes

process for evaluating the performance 
of senior executives.

1.6 Additional information.

The Board has a formal Corporate Governance Code which sets 
out the respective roles and responsibilities of the Board and 
management. In addition, the Board committees have specific 
Charters which provide further details on the matters reserved for 
the Board or its committees.

The Company has an Equal Employment Opportunity Policy 
under which it commits to ensuring applicants for employment 
are drawn from a full cross section of the community and that the 
merit principle forms the basis of recruitment and promotion. In 
light of the total number of employees and low turnover levels in 
all management levels of the Group, the Board believes that little 
effective benefit would be achieved from the setting of measurable 
objectives for achieving gender diversity and that the interests of 
the Group are best served in this case by rigorous application of 
the merit principle in all recruitment and promotion decisions.

Measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity are not set 
by the Board as discussed under Principle 1.2.

10% of employees across the organisation are women and there 
are no women in senior executive positions or on the Board.

A formal structured review is undertaken each year for each 
employee. Senior executives are reviewed by the CEO and input 
provided by the Chair. This process generally takes place in May 
each year.

The Corporate Governance Code and other relevant charters are 
available on the Company’s website.

Principle 2 – Structure the Board to be effective and add value

2.1  A majority of the Board should be 

Yes

independent Directors.

The Board currently has four Directors, two of whom are 
considered independent. The Board has adopted the CGC’s 
guidelines as the basis for determining whether a Director can 
be considered independent and has set relevant thresholds for 
materiality. Whether or not a Director meets the CGC guidelines 
for independence, each Director is expected to exercise 
unfettered and independent judgement.

The following Directors are considered independent:

•  Mr Grellman

•  Mr Godson

Director.

2.3 The roles of Chair and Chief Executive 
Officer should not be exercised by the

2.5 Companies should disclose the 

process for evaluating the performance 
of the Board, its committees and 
individual Directors.

Yes

Yes

Yes

2.6 Additional information

The Board believes that while the Chairman is not independent, 
the current composition of the Board with its combined skills and 
capability, best serves the interests of the shareholders.

The roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer are not exercised by 
the same individual.

The Company has a combined Remuneration & 
Nominations Committee. The charter can be reviewed on the 
Company’s website.

The Chair monitors the performance of the Board and conducts 
informal meetings with the other Directors during the year. The 
Board undertakes a formal review every 12 to 18 months. The 
review includes:

•  examination of the effectiveness and composition of the 

Board, including the required mix of skills, experience and 
other qualities which the non-executive Directors should bring 
to the Board for it to function competently and efficiently;

• 

review of Bisalloy’s strategic direction and objectives;

•  assessment of the Managing Director’s performance by the 

non-executive Directors;

•  assessment of whether corporate governance practices are 

appropriate and reflect “good practice”; and

•  assessment of whether the expectations of differing 

stakeholders have been met.

As part of this process the Chairman also:

•  meets with the senior executives to discuss with them their 
views of the Board’s performance and level of involvement;

•  discusses each individual Director’s contributions face-to-face 

as appropriate; and

•  meets with the other non-executive Directors without any 

management present (this is in addition to the consideration of 
the Managing Director’s performance and remuneration which 
is conducted in the absence of the Managing Director).

Details of the composition, skills, experience, term in office, 
attendance at meetings of the members of the Board at the date 
of this statement are set out in the Directors’ Report.

which underpin the Code of Conduct including policies 
on Appropriate Workplace Behaviour, Equal Employment 
Opportunity, Safety, Fitness for Work, Workplace Harassment and 
Discrimination. Together these form a framework for ethical and 
responsible decision making and proscribe how the individuals of 
the Group behave internally and externally. 

In addition, the Board has an established Corporate Governance 
Code as discussed under Recommendation 1.

6.1  Design a communications policy for 
promoting effective communication 
with shareholders and encouraging 
their participation at general meetings 
and disclose their policy or a summary

aims to ensure that once management becomes aware of any 
information concerning the Group that a reasonable person 
would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the 
Company’s shares (subject to the relevant exceptions), that such 
information is released to the market. 

The Board is committed to ensuring all investors have equal and 
timely access to material information concerning the Group and 
that the Group’s announcements are factual and presented in a 
clear and balanced way. 

The Company Secretary is the person responsible for continuous 
disclosure and communicating with the ASX. This role includes 
responsibility for ensuring compliance with the continuous 
disclosure requirements under the ASX Listing Rules and 
overseeing and co-ordinating information disclosed to the ASX, 
market participants and the public.

The Company’s Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on the 
Company’s website. 

In order to facilitate shareholders accessing information about the 
Group, all Group announcements, briefings, presentations and 
reports are posted on the Company’s website after release. The 
website includes additional news items about the activities of the 
Group which are not market sensitive. 

Shareholders are entitled to receive a copy of the Annual Report 
and can elect the method by which it is delivered. The Group 
encourages shareholders to elect to receive the Annual Report 
and other correspondence from the Company electronically and 
requires shareholders to ‘opt in’ if they wish to receive a hard copy 
of the report.

Shareholders are encouraged to attend for the Annual General 
Meeting as full use is made of the occasion to inform shareholders 
of current developments through presentations and the 
opportunity to ask questions of management and the Group’s 
external auditors.

Reference/explanation

7.2 The Board should require management 

Yes

to design and implement the risk 
management and internal control 
system to manage the company’s 
material business risks and report to 
it on whether those risks are being 
managed effectively. The Board 
should disclose that management has 
reported to it as to the effectiveness 
of the company’s management of its 
material business risks.

7.3 The Board should disclose whether it 

Yes

has received assurance from the Chief 
Executive Officer and the chief financial 
officer that the declaration provided 
in accordance with section 295A of 
the Corporations Act is founded on 
a sound system of risk management 
and internal control and that the 
system is operating effectively in all 
material respects in relation to Financial 
Reporting risks.

7.4  Additional information.

19

The Company has developed and implemented a risk 
management process to ensure that there are up-to-date risk 
management policies and procedures which reflect the Board’s 
appetite for risk and which are consistently applied across 
the Group. Conformance with policies and procedures is the 
responsibility of management and compliance reviewed on a 
periodic basis.

The Company has an Audit & Risk Committee which meets 
regularly during the year. At the meetings the Committee receives 
explanations from management on any breakdowns in internal 
controls identified and the actions proposed to resolve them. 
Items remain open and are reviewed at following committee 
meetings until resolved to the Committee’s satisfaction.

In accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, the CEO 
and CFO have provided a written statement to the Board that:

• 

their view provided on the Group’s Financial Report is 
founded on a sound system of risk management and internal 
compliance and control which implements the financial 
policies adopted by the Board.

• 

the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and 
control system is operating effectively in all material respects.

The risk management process, discussed at Principle 7.3, 
includes a wide range of proprietary policies and procedures 
which have been developed specifically for the Company and 
its business. The Company believes it would be unreasonably 
prejudicial to its interests and inappropriate to disclose this 
information publicly.

Basis of preparation

a) 
The financial report is a general purpose financial report, 
which has been prepared in accordance with the Australian 
Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 
2001. The financial report complies with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the International 
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The financial report has 
also been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for land 
and buildings classified as property, plant and equipment 
and derivative financial instruments, which are measured at 
fair value. 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations 
(Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 and in accordance with that Instrument, all financial 
information presented in Australian Dollars has been rounded 
to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements provide comparative 
information in respect of the previous period.

Comparative information

Certain comparative information was amended in these 
financial statements to conform to the current year 
presentation. These amendments do not impact the group’s 
financial result and do not have any significant impact on the 
Group’s balance sheet.

Basis of consolidation and investments in joint 

b) 
venture
The consolidated financial statements comprise the 
financial statements of the Company, being Bisalloy Steel 
Group Limited, and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as at the 
reporting date. 

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, 
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and 
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over 
the investee. 

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee 
if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to 
one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation 
of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over 
the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of 
the subsidiary. 

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared 
for the same reporting period as the parent company, using 
consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring 
into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist. All 
intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised 
profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been 
eliminated in full. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless costs 
cannot be recovered. 

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profit or 
loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group, and 
are presented separately in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated

statement of financial position, separately from the equity of 
the owners of the parent.

The Group has an interest in a joint venture, which is a jointly 
controlled entity, whereby the venturers have a contractual 
arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic 
activities of the entity. The Group’s investment in the joint 
venture is accounted for using the equity method and is not 
part of the consolidated Group.

Under the equity method, the investment in the joint venture 
is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the 
investment is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group’s 
share of net assets of the joint venture since the acquisition 
date. Goodwill relating to the joint venture is included in the 
carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor 
individually tested for impairment.

The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations 
of the joint venture. When there has been a change recognised 
directly in the equity of the joint venture, the Group recognises 
its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement 
of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting 
from transactions between the Group and the joint venture are 
eliminated to the extent of the interest in the joint venture.

The Group’s share of profit of the joint venture is shown 
adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line 
with those of the Group.

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies 
as described below, management is required to make 
judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values 
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other 
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are 
based on historical experience and various other factors that 
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These 
estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an 
ongoing basis.

Significant accounting judgements

c) 
In applying the Group’s accounting policies, management have 
not made any significant accounting judgements which affect 
the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities are 
often determined based on estimates and assumptions of 
future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a 
significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying 
amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual 
reporting period are:

Property, plant and equipment

Share-based payment transactions

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions 
with employees (including directors and other senior 
executives) by reference to the fair value at the date on 
which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an 
external valuer using discounted cash flow models using the 
assumptions dealt with in note 2(n).

The Group measures the cost of cash-settled transactions 
with employees (including directors and other senior 
executives) by reference to the fair value at the reporting date. 
The fair value is determined by reference to the price of shares 
of the issuer.

Operating segments

d) 
An operating segment is a component of an entity that 
engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues 
and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating 
to transactions with other components of the same entity), 
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s 
chief operating decision maker to make decisions about 
resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its 
performance and for which discrete financial information is 
available. This includes start-up operations which are yet to 
earn revenues. Management will also consider other factors in 
determining operating segments such as the existence of a line 
manager and the level of segment information presented to the 
Board of directors.

Operating segments have been identified and based on the 
information provided to the chief operating decision makers – 
being the executive management team.

The Group aggregates two or more operating segments when 
they have similar economic characteristics, and the segments 
are similar in each of the following respects:

•  nature of the products and services,

•  nature of production processes,

• 

type or class of customer for their products and services,

•  methods use to distribute their products or provide their 

services, and if applicable

•  nature of the regulatory environment.

Operating segments that meet the quantitative criteria as 
prescribed by AASB 8 are reported separately. However, 
an operating segment that does not meet the quantitative 
criteria is still reported separately where information about the 
segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

e) 

Taxation

Current income tax

The Group measures the fair value of land buildings by 
reference to valuations performed at reporting date. The fair 
value is determined by an external valuer every three years, 
unless determined by Directors’ valuation that the fair value 
has moved significantly or at the request of a finance provider. 
The valuation method is detailed in note 19.3.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the 
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation 
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the 
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by 
the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates 
and generates taxable income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)for the year ended 30 June 2020Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report27

Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in 
equity is recognised in equity and not in the 

statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates 
positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in 
which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation 
and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on 
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts for Financial Reporting 
purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss 
is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are 
recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity. 

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a 
legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets 
and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same 
taxation authority.

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian 
controlled entities implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation as of 1 July 2003.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary 
differences except:

•  when the deferred income tax liability arises from the 

initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a 
transaction that is not a business combination and, at the 
time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit 
nor taxable profit or loss; or

The head entity, Bisalloy Steel Group Limited and the 
controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue 
to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. 
The Group has applied the Group allocation approach 
in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes 
and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax 
consolidated group.

• 

in respect of taxable temporary differences associated 
with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests 
in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the 
temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable 
that the temporary difference will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible 
temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax credits 
and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be 
available against which the deductible temporary differences, 
and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax 
losses can be utilised, except:

•  when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible 

temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of 
an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects 
neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or

• 

in respect of deductible temporary difference is associated 
with investments in subsidiaries, associates or interests in 
joint ventures, deferred tax asset are recognised only to 
the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference 
will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will 
be available against which the temporary difference can 
be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each 
reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow 
all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised 
deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date 
and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable 
that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to 
be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax 
rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is 
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax 
laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the 
reporting date.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, 
Bisalloy Steel Group Limited also recognises the current tax 
liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from 
unused losses.

Assets or liabilities under tax funding arrangements with 
the tax consolidation entities are recognised as amounts 
receivable form or payable to other entities in the Group. 
Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts 
receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are 
recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-
owned tax consolidated entities.

Cash and cash equivalents

f) 
Cash and short term deposits in the statement of financial 
position and the cash flow statement is comprised of cash at 
bank and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of 
three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk 
of changes in value.

Trade and other receivables

g) 
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of 
consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of 
time is required before payment of the consideration is due). 
Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in note 2(p) 
Financial instruments. 

Inventories

h) 
Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are valued 
at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location 
and condition are accounted for as follows:

Raw materials – Purchase cost is on a weighted average 
cost basis.

Work in progress and finished goods – Cost of direct 
materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of 
manufacturing overheads is based on normal operating 
capacity, but excluding borrowing costs.

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report28

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

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

Property, plant and equipment

i) 
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of 
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment 
losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts 
that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing 
the parts is incurred. Similarly, when each major inspection is 
performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the 
plant and equipment as a replacement only if the recognition 
criteria are satisfied. All other repairs and maintenance are 
recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

Land and buildings are measured at fair value using the 
revaluation model, less accumulated depreciation on buildings 
and any impairment losses recognised after the date of the 
revaluation. Valuations are performed every three years, 
or sooner should there be a significant change in market 
conditions or other market requirements such as in Indonesia 
where land and buildings are revalued every 12 months 
as a result of lending requirements, to ensure that the fair 
value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its 
carrying amount.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the 
estimated useful life of the specific assets as follows:

•  Land 

•  Buildings 

not depreciated

50 years

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing 
proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the 
profit or loss.

Upon disposal or derecognition, any revaluation reserve 
relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to 
retained earnings. 

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised 
upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are 
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising 
on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference 
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount 
of the asset) is included in the profit and loss in the period the 
item is derecognised.

j) 

Intangible assets

Recognition and measurement

Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or 
loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure 
can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically 
and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are 
probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient 
resources to complete development and to use or sell the 
asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure 
is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any 
accumulated impairment losses.

•  Plant and equipment 

3 – 10 years

Subsequent expenditure

•  Leasehold improvements 

 5 – 10 years or lease life 
if shorter

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation 
methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if 
appropriate, at each financial year end.

Revaluations of land and buildings

Any revaluation increment is credited to the asset revaluation 
reserve in equity, except to the extent that it reverses 
a revaluation decrement for the same asset previously 
recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increment is 
recognised in profit or loss.

Any revaluation decrement is recognised in profit or loss, 
except to the extent that it offsets a previous revaluation 
increment for the same asset, in which case the decrement is 
debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve to the extent 
of the credit balance existing in the revaluation reserve for 
that asset.

Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is 
eliminated against the gross carrying amounts of the assets 
and the net amounts are restated to the revalued amounts of 
the assets.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases 
the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to 
which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or 
loss as incurred.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible 
assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-
line method over their estimated useful lives and is generally 
recognised in profit or loss. 

The estimated useful life for current periods for development 
costs is 3 years.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are 
reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Trade and other payables

k) 
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost 
and represent liabilities for goods and services provided 
to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are 
unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make 
future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods 
and services.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)for the year ended 30 June 2020Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report29

Contributed equity

l) 
Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the 
consideration received by the Company. Any transaction 
costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised 
directly in equity, net of tax, as a reduction of the share 
proceeds received.

Employee benefits

m) 
Liabilities arising in respect of short-term employee benefits 
such as wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent 
the amount which the entity has a present obligation to pay 
resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance 
date. Liabilities in respect of short-term employee benefits are 
measured at their nominal amounts.

Long-term employee benefit liabilities such as long service 
leave represent the present value of the estimated future 
cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from 
employees’ services provided up to the balance date. 
Long-term employee benefit liabilities are measured at their 
present values using corporate bond rates which most closely 
match the terms of maturity of the related liabilities.

In determining the employee benefit liabilities, consideration 
has been given to future increases in wage and salary rates, 
and the consolidated entity’s experience with staff departures. 
Related on-costs have also been included in the liability.

The Group contributes to defined contribution superannuation 
plans, as well as an unfunded defined benefit plan in Indonesia 
and a defined benefit plan in Thailand. 

Share-based payment transactions

n) 
Employees (including directors and other senior executives) 
of the Group receive remuneration in the form of a grant of 
Rights, whereby employees render services as consideration 
for equity instruments (‘equity-settled transactions’). There 
is currently a Share Rights Plan in place to provide these 
benefits. If the issue of shares in the Board’s opinion does 
not achieve the desired outcome, then the Board may 
determine to satisfy the entitlement to Shares under a 
Vested Right in the form of cash rather than Shares. In recent 
years, there have been a number of instances in which 
settlement has taken the form of 50% equity and 50% cash 
(‘cash-settled transactions’). 

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees 
is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on 
which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an 
external valuer using a discounted cash flow methodology. 
In valuing equity-settled transactions, no account is taken 
of any performance conditions, other than conditions linked 
to the price of the shares of the issuer (‘market conditions’), 
if applicable.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together 
with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in 
which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, 
ending on the date on which the relevant employees become 
fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). 

Cash-settled transactions

The cost of cash-settled transactions with employees is 
measured by reference to the fair value at the reporting date 
and ultimately at settlement. The fair value is determined 
by reference to the price of the shares of the issuer 
(‘market conditions’).

The cost of cash-settled transactions is recognised, together 
with a corresponding increase in liability, over the period in 
which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, 
ending on the date on which the relevant employees become 
fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). 

The cumulative expense recognised for both equity-settled 
and cash-settled transactions at each reporting date until 
vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has 
expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity 
instruments that will ultimately vest. This estimate is formed 
based on the best available information at balance date. The 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income 
charge or credit for a period represents the movement in 
cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of 
that period.

No expense is recognised for Rights that do not ultimately 
vest. Any Rights that do not become vested Rights, lapse.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding Rights is reflected as 
additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings 
per share.

Provisions

o) 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present 
obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it 
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic 
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where 
the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, 
for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement 
is recognised as a separate asset but only when the 
reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense related to any 
provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive 
income net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time 
value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a 
current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks 
specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase 
in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a 
borrowing cost.

Financial instruments

p) 
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a 
financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity 
instrument of another entity. 

Financial assets 

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as 
subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through 
other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through 
profit or loss. 

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition 
depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report30

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing 
them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not 
contain a significant financing component, the Group initially 
measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case 
of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, 
transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain 
a significant financing component or for which the Group 
has applied the practical expedient are measured at the 
transaction price determined under IFRS 15. Refer to the 
accounting policies in note 2(r) Revenue from contracts 
with customers. 

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured 
at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give 
rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and 
interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This 
assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at 
an instrument level. 

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets 
refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to 
generate cash flows. The business model determines whether 
cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, 
selling the financial assets, or both. 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery 
of assets within a time frame established by regulation or 
convention in the market place (regular way trades) are 
recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group 
commits to purchase or sell the asset. 

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are 
classified in four categories: 

•  Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

•  Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of 

cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments) 

•  Financial assets designated at fair value through OCI 

with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon 
derecognition (equity instruments) 

•  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group 
measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the 
following conditions are met: 

•  The financial asset is held within a business model with 
the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect 
contractual cash flows; and

•  The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on 

specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of 
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured 
using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to 
impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss 
when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. 

The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost include 
trade receivables. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include 
derivative assets which are mandatorily required to be 
measured at fair value. Derivatives are classified as 
held for trading unless they are designated as effective 
hedging instruments. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried 
in the statement of financial position at fair value with net 
changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit 
or loss. 

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial 
asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily 
derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated 
statement of financial position) when the rights to receive cash 
flows from the asset have expired.

Impairment

Further disclosures relating to impairment of financial assets 
are also provided in the following notes: 

•  Significant accounting judgements, estimates 

and assumptions 

•  Trade and other receivables 

Note 2(c)

Note 2(g)

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses 
(ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through 
profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the 
contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract 
and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, 
discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest 
rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the 
sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are 
integral to the contractual terms. 

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for 
which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk 
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses 
that result from default events that are possible within the next 
12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for 
which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since 
initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses 
expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective 
of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). 

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies 
a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the 
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead 
recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each 
reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix 
that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted 
for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the 
economic environment. 

The Group considers a financial asset in default when internal 
or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to

31

receive the outstanding contractual amounts in. A financial 
asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of 
recovering the contractual cash flows. 

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and 
borrowings. For more information, refer to Note 19.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as 
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and 
borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging 
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in 
the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly 
attributable transaction costs. 

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other 
payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, and 
derivative financial instruments. 

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their 
classification, as described below: 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include 
financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities 
designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through 
profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are 
incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. 
This category also includes derivative financial instruments 
entered into by the Group that are not designated as 
hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by 
IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified 
as held for trading unless they are designated as effective 
hedging instruments. 

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in 
the statement of profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair 
value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of 
recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The 
Group has not designated any financial liability as at fair value 
through profit or loss. 

Financial liabilities at amortised cost
This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial 
recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR 
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss 
when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR 
amortisation process. 

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any 
discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are 
an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as 
finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. 

All loans and borrowings are classified as current liabilities 
unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement 
of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under 
the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an 
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same 
lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an 
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange 
or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original 
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in 
the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement 
of profit or loss. 

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the 
net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of 
financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right 
to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention 
to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the 
liabilities simultaneously. 

Goods and services tax

q) 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of goods and services tax (GST), or GST equivalents, 
such as Value Added Tax, except: 

•  where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the Australian Tax Office (ATO), or equivalent 
foreign organisations. In these circumstances the GST is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or 
as part of an item of the expenses;

• 

receivables and payables are stated with the amount of 
GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the 
ATO is included as part of receivables or payables in the 
statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows 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.

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

Revenue from contracts with customers

r) 
The Group is in the business of manufacturing and selling 
quench and tempered steel plates. Revenue from contracts 
with customers is recognised when control of the goods 
or services are transferred to the customer at an amount 
that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects 
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The 
Group has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue 
arrangements, as it controls the goods or services before 
transferring them to the customer. 

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of steel plates is recognised at the 
point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report32

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

customer, which is on delivery of the goods for domestic sales, 
on invoice for Bill and Hold sales and on bill of lading for export 
sales. Revenue from the services of shipping and handling is 
recognised over time as the service is performed. The normal 
credit terms are 30 to 90 days upon end of month invoiced.

The Group considers whether there are other promises 
in the contract that are separate performance obligations 
to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be 
allocated (e.g., shipping). In determining the transaction price 
for the sale of goods, the Group considers the effects of 
variable consideration, the existence of significant financing 
components, non-cash consideration, and consideration 
payable to the customer (if any). 

Variable consideration 

(i)  
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, 
the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which 
it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to 
the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at 
contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable 
that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative 
revenue recognised will not occur when the associated 
uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently 
resolved. Some contracts for the sale of steel plates provide 
customers with a right of return and early settlement 
discounts. The rights of return and early settlement discounts 
give rise to variable consideration. 

Early Settlement Discounts

The Group provides early settlement discounts to certain 
customers if the payment for the sale of goods is made within 
a specified period of time. The discounts are offset against 
amounts payable by the customer. To estimate the variable 
consideration to which it will be entitled, the Group applies the 
‘expected value method’ to estimate the settlement discounts 
that will be issued. This method best predicts the amount 
of variable consideration to which the Group will be entitled. 
The Group then applies the requirements on constraining 
estimates of variable consideration that can be included in the 
transaction price. 

(ii)   Significant financing component 
Generally, the Group receives payment for the sale of goods 
between 30 to 90 days after the goods have been delivered. 
Should a significant financing component exist, the Group 
will apply the practical expedient in AASB 15. Using this, the 
Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration 
for the effects of a significant financing component if it 
expects, at contract inception, that the period between the 
transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and 
when the customer pays for that good or service will be one 
year or less. 

(iii)   Non-cash consideration 
The Group does not receive non-cash consideration for the 
sale of goods.

Contract balances

Contract Assets

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange 
for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the 
Group performs by transferring goods or services to a 
customer before the customer pays consideration or before 
payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned 
consideration that is conditional. 

Trade Receivables

A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of 
consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage 
of time is required before payment of the consideration 
is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in 
section p) Financial instruments – initial recognition and 
subsequent measurement. 

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or 
services to a customer for which the Group has received 
consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the 
customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group 
transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability 
is recognised when the payment is made or the payment is 
due (whichever is earlier). Contract liabilities are recognised as 
revenue when the Group performs under the contract. 

s) 

Other Income

Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective 
interest rate (EIR) method. The EIR is the rate that exactly 
discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life 
of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial 
asset. Interest income is included in finance income in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to 
receive the payment is established.

Borrowing costs

t) 
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes 
a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or 
sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. All other 
borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they 
occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that 
an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 
Bisalloy Steel Group Limited does not currently hold qualifying 
assets but, if it did, the borrowing costs directly associated 
with this asset would be capitalised (including any other 
associated costs directly attributable to the borrowing and 
temporary investment income earned on the borrowing).

Leases

retrospective approach and therefore the comparative

information has not been restated and continues to be 
reported under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4. For the details 
of accounting policies under AASB 117 and Interpretation 4 are 
disclosed separately.

Policy applicable from 1 July 2019

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a 
contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, 
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use 
of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for 
consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right 
to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the 
definition of a lease in AASB 16. 

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after 
1 July 2019.

Group as a lessee

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains 
a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in 
the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the 
basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, the Group 
has elected for all leases in which it is a lessee, not to separate 
non-lease components and will instead account for the lease 
and non-lease components as a single lease component. 

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability 
at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is 
initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount 
of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at 
or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs 
incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the 
underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site 
on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the 
straight-line method from the commencement date to the end 
of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the 
underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term 
or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group 
will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use 
asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying 
asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of 
property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is 
periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted 
for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of 
the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease 
or, if the that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its 
incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by 
obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources 
and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease 
and type of asset leased. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease 
liability comprise of the following:

•  Fixed payments, included in-substance fixed payments;

•  Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a 
rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 
commencement date;

•  Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value 

guarantee; and

•  The exercise price under a purchase option that the Group 
is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an 
optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain 
to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early 
termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably 
certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a 
change in future lease payments arising from a change in an 
index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of 
the amount expected to be payable under a residual value 
guarantee, if the Group changes it assessment of where it will 
exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there 
is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a 
corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount 
of the right-of-use asset, or recorded in profit or loss if the 
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced 
to zero. 

The Group presents right-of-use assets in ‘property, plant and 
equipment’, the same line item as it presents underlying assets 
of the same nature that it owns and lease liabilities in ‘lease 
liabilities’ in the statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets 
and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-
term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognises the 
lease payments associated with these leases as an expense 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Policy applicable before 1 July 2019

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains 
a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at 
inception of the lease. The arrangement is, or contains, a lease 
if fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a 
specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right 
to use the asset or assets, even if that right is not explicitly 
specified in an agreement.

Group as a lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the 
risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, 
are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value 
of the leased property or, if lower at the present value of the 
minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned 
between the finance charges and a reduction of the lease 
liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are included 
in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. 

Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of 
the estimated useful life of the asset and lease term, if there is 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership 
by the end of the lease term.

34

Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating 
expense in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the 
lease term.

Foreign currency translation

v) 
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented 
in Australian dollars (A$), which is the Company’s functional 
and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group 
determines its own functional currency and items included 
in the financial statements of each entity are measured using 
that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies 
are initially recorded in the functional currency rate ruling at 
the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the 
functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the statement of 
financial position date. 

All differences are taken to profit or loss. Non-monetary items 
that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the 
dates of the initial transactions.

The functional currency of the foreign operations is the 
currency in circulation in the country they each reside in. 
As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of these 
subsidiaries are translated into the Company’s presentation 
currency (A$) at the rate of exchange ruling at balance date, 
and their income statements are translated at the weighted 
average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences 
arising on the translation are recognised in the foreign currency 
translation reserve within equity. On disposal of a foreign 
entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in equity 
relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the 
statement of comprehensive income.

Earnings per share (EPS)

w) 
Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, 
adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other than 
dividends), divided by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging
x) 
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as 
forward currency contracts to hedge its risks associated with 
foreign currency risks. Such derivative financial instruments 
are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which 
a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently 
remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial 
assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities 
when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on 
derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken 
directly to net profit or loss for the year.

The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by 
reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with 
similar maturity profiles. The fair value of interest rate swap 
contracts is determined by reference to market values for 
similar instruments.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are 
classified as:

• 

fair value hedges: when hedging the exposure to changes 
in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or

•  cash flow hedges: when hedging exposure to variability 
in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk 
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly 
forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an 
unrecognised firm commitment.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally 
designates and documents the hedge relationship to which 
the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the 
risk management objective and strategy for undertaking 
the hedge. 

The documentation includes identification of the hedging 
instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being 
hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging 
relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements 
(including the analysis of sources of hedge ineffectiveness and 
how the hedge ratio is determined). A hedging relationship 
qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following 
effectiveness requirements: 

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, 
adjusted for:

•  There is ‘an economic relationship’ between the hedged 

item and the hedging instrument. 

•  costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

• 

the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated 
with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been 
recognised as expenses; and

•  other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses 
during the period that would result from the dilution of 
potential ordinary shares divided by the weighted average 
number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary 
shares, adjusted for any bonus element.

•  The effect of credit risk does not ‘dominate the value 
changes’ that result from that economic relationship. 

•  The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same 

as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that 
the Group actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging 
instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge that 
quantity of hedged item. 

Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge 
accounting are accounted for as described below:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)for the year ended 30 June 2020Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual ReportCash Flow Hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging 
instrument is recognised directly in equity, while the ineffective 
portion is recognised in profit or loss. 

Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when 
the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when 
hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or 
when a forecast sale or purchase occurs. Where the hedged 
item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts 
taken to equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of 
the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, 
amounts previously recognised in equity are transferred to 
profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, 
terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or 
if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously 
recognised in equity remain in equity until the forecast 
transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to 
occur, the amount is taken to profit or loss. 

Fair Value Hedges

The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to 
the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the 
hedged item and is also recognised in the statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income as a finance cost.

When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated as a 
hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair 
value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is 
recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or 
loss recognised in profit or loss. 

The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the 
hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, 
the hedge no longer meets criteria for hedge accounting or 
the Group revokes the designation. Any adjustment to the 
carrying amount of a hedge financial instrument for which the 
effective interest method is used is amortised to the profit or 
loss. Amortisation may begin as soon as an adjustment exists 
and shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to 
be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk 
being hedged.

Fair Value Measurement

y) 
The Group measure financial instruments such as derivatives 
at fair value at each reporting date.

Fair value is 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. The fair value 
measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction 
to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• 

• 

in the principal market for the asset or liability, or

in the absence of a principal market, in the most 
advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be 
accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the 
assumptions that market participants would use when pricing 
the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in 
their economic best interest.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in 
the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to 
measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable 
inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

35

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or 
disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the 
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest 
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as 
a whole:

•  Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active 

markets for identical assets or liabilities

•  Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 
directly or indirectly observable

•  Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level 
input that is significant to the fair value measurement 
is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial 
statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines 
whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the 
hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest 
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a 
whole) at the end of the reporting period.

Changes in accounting standards

z) 
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the 
condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent 
with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s 
annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 
30 June 2019, except for the adoption of new standards 
effective as of 1 July 2019. The Group has not early adopted 
any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been 
issued but is not yet effective. 

The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases under the modified 
retrospective approach with the date of initial application of 
1 July 2019. The cumulative effect of initially applying AASB 16 
is recognised at the date of initial application as an adjustment 
to the opening balance of retained earnings. 

AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and related 
interpretations. AASB 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet 
accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Group as a 
lessee has recognised right-of-use assets representing its right 
to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing 
its obligation to make lease payments.

Definition of a Lease

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a 
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of 
time in exchange for consideration. On transition to AASB 
16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to 
grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. 
It applied AASB 16 only to contracts that were previously 
identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

36

as leases under AASB 117 and interpretation 4 were not 
reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under AASB 16 
has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on 
or after 1 July 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains 
a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in 
the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the 
basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, the Group 
has elected for all leases in which it is a lessee, not to separate 
non-lease components and will instead account for the lease 
and non-lease components as a single lease component. 

As a lessee

The Group leases assets, including properties, motor vehicles 
and IT equipment.

The Group previously classified leases as operating or 
finance leases based on its assessment of whether the 
lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of 
ownership. Under AASB16, the Group recognises right-of-use 
assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases 
are on-balance sheet.

However, the Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use 
assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low value assets 
(items) or with a lease term of less than 12 months. The Group 
recognises the lease payments associated with these leases 
as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The group presents lease liabilities in ‘Lease liabilities’ in the 
statement of financial position.

Impact on financial statements

Impacts on transition 

Transition

 At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under 
AASB 117, lease liabilities were measured at the present 
value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the 
subsidiaries incremental borrowing rate as at 1 July 2019. 
Right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to 
the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or 
accrued lease payments.

The Group used the following practical expedient when 
applying AASB 16 to leases previously classified as operating 
leases under AASB 117:

•  Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use 

assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of 
lease term.

The Group leases one motor vehicle which was classified as 
a finance lease under AASB 117. For this finance lease, the 
carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability 
at 1 July 2019 were determined at the carrying amount of the 
lease asset and lease liability under AASB 117 immediately 
before that date.

Lessor

The Group does not lease out any assets and as such is not 
a lessor.

On transition to AASB 16, the Group recognised additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, recognising the 
difference in retained earnings. The impact on transition is summarised below.

Changes in accounting standards (continued)

Impacts for the period

As a result of initially applying AASB 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases, the Group 
recognise $484k of right-of-use assets and $491k of lease liabilities as at 30 June 2020. The lease liability as at 30 June 2020 also 
includes an existing finance lease liability of $3k.

Also, in relation to those leases under AASB 16, the Group has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating 
lease expense. During the year-ended 30 June 2020, the Group recognised $301k of depreciation and $21k of interest costs from 
these leases.

37

aa)  Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2019 and earlier application is permitted; 
however the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements. 
No new standard is considered to have a material impact on the Group.

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report3.  Revenue from contracts with customers (continued)

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 to 90 days end of month. 

38

Contract assets are initially recognised for revenue earned from shipping and handling services as receipt of consideration is 
conditional on delivery of the steel plates. Upon delivery of the steel plates, the amounts recognised as contract assets are 
reclassified to trade receivables. 

Contract liabilities are recognised for shipping and handling services yet to be provided with respect to the steel plates invoiced 
and for any settlement discounts expected to be obtained by customers. 

3.3   Performance Obligations
The Group’s contracts with customers are for the sale of steel plates. In completing the sale of the steel plates, there are two 
performance obligations identified, being the provision of steel plates and the provision of shipping and handling. The Group has 
concluded that revenue from the provision of steel plates is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred 
to the customer and revenue from the services of shipping and handling is recognised over time as the service is performed. 

As at 30 June 2020, the unsatisfied performance obligations per each segment as presented below.

Q&T plate as well as other steel plate products. The Overseas 
operations also includes the co-operative joint venture Bisalloy 
Shangang Steel Plate (Shandong) Co. Limited in the People’s 
Republic of China for the marketing, sale and distribution of 
quench & tempered steel plate.

Accounting policies and inter-segment transactions
The accounting policies used by the Group in reporting 
segments internally are the same as those contained in 
note 2 to the accounts and in the prior period except as 
detailed below:

Inter-entity sales

Inter-entity sales are recognised based on an internally set 
transfer price. This price is set monthly and aims to reflect 
what the business operation could achieve if they sold their 
output to external parties at arm’s length.

Identification of reportable segments
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the 
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive 
management team (the chief operating decision makers) in 
assessing performance and in determining the allocation 
of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based 
on country of origin. Discrete financial information about each 
of these operating businesses is reported to the executive 
management team on at least a monthly basis.

The reportable segments are based on aggregated 
operating segments determined by the similarity of 
economic characteristics.

Geographical areas

Australian operations

The Australian operations are comprised of Bisalloy Steels Pty 
Limited and Bisalloy Steel Group Limited. 

Bisalloy Steels Pty Limited manufactures and sells wear-
grade and high tensile plate through distributors and directly 
to original equipment manufacturers in both Australia and 
Overseas. Bisalloy Steels is located in Unanderra, near 
Wollongong, NSW. 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited is the corporate entity, also 
located in Unanderra NSW, which incurs expenses such as 
head office costs and interest. Corporate charges are allocated 
across the Australian and Overseas segments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)for the year ended 30 June 2020Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual ReportInvestment in a joint venture

6. 
Interests in the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognised at cost, which includes 
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the profit or 
loss and OCI of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases. 

The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared on a December balance date, however, as the Group equity accounts 
for this, the necessary adjustments are made to align these to the Group’s reporting period. When necessary, adjustments are 
made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

43

In July 2011, Bisalloy Steel Group Limited signed a Cooperative Joint Venture Agreement with Ji’nan Iron & Steel Co., Limited to 
establish Bisalloy Jigang Steel Plate (Shandong) Co., Limited (‘the joint venture’) for the marketing, sale and distribution of quench 
& tempered steel plate in the People’s Republic of China and other international markets. The Group has joint control under the 
terms of the Joint Venture Agreement. 

Under the terms of the JV, Bisalloy initially contributed US$1 million in capital and licenced its Q&T intellectual property and brand 
name to the joint venture to produce quench & tempered steel plate at Jinan’s production facility in Shandong Province, PRC for 
an initial 33% ownership of the equity and a 50% share in the operating result of the joint venture.

In 2018 the JV changed its registered name to Bisalloy Shangang (Shandong) Steel Plate Co., Limited. 

In April 2019, due to the substantial growth in the CJV, both parties in the joint venture increased their contribution to registered 
capital, with Bisalloy’s contribution increasing from US$1.0m to US$2.5m, representing a 41.67% ownership of the equity and a 
50% share in the operating result of the joint venture. The increase was funded through distributable profits from 2017 and 2018 
calendar years that would have otherwise been fully paid to Bisalloy as a dividend in November 2018 and November 2019. 

Dividends of $0 (2019: $0) were received from the JV during the year.

The current tax payable for the Consolidated entity of $1,785,399 (2019: $290,609) represents the amount of income tax payable 
in respect of the current and prior periods. The current tax payable of the Consolidated entity is made up of $1,730,499 payable in 
the Australian jurisdiction and $54,900 in the Thailand tax jurisdiction. 

The current tax receivable for the Consolidated entity of $495,931 (2019: $273,302) represents the amount of income tax 
receivable in respect of the current and prior periods. The amount of current tax receivable is entirely attributed to the Indonesian 
tax jurisdiction. 

The Consolidated entity liability includes both the income tax payable by all members of the tax consolidated group and those 
members outside the tax consolidated group and outside the Australian tax jurisdiction.

(f)   Unrecognised temporary differences
At 30 June 2020, there are no unrecognised temporary differences associated with the Group’s investments in subsidiaries, as 
the Group has no liability for additional taxation should unremitted earnings be remitted (2019: Nil).

Income tax (continued)

(g)   Tax consolidation

(i)   Members of the tax consolidation group and the tax sharing arrangement

46

Effective 1 July 2003, for the purposes of income taxation, the Company and its 100% owned Australian subsidiaries formed 
a tax consolidated group. Members of the group have entered into a tax sharing arrangement. This arrangement provides for 
the allocation of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. At the 
balance date, the possibility of a default is remote. The head entity of the group is Bisalloy Steel Group Limited.

(ii) 

Tax effect accounting by members of the tax consolidated group  

Members of the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement. The allocation of taxes under the tax funding 
agreement is recognised under the separate tax payer within a group approach. Allocations under the tax funding agreement are 
made on a semi-annual basis.

The amount that is allocated under the tax funding agreement is done so in accordance with a method permitted by UIG1052 and 
is recognised by way of an increase or decrease in the subsidiaries intercompany accounts.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30-90 day terms. Refer to note 19.3 for more information of the 
allowance for expected credit losses.

Other balances within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets and are not past due. It is expected that these 
other balances will be received when due.

The Group has a credit insurance policy in place that covers 90% of the sales value to Australian and Indonesian 
eligible customers.

Fair value and credit risk

Due to the short term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum 
exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as security, nor is it the Group’s policy to transfer 
(on-sell) receivables to special purpose entities.

to this, Indonesian freehold land and freehold buildings are required to be externally revalued every 12 months in order to meet 
lending requirements stipulated by their finance provider. 

Fair value is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and a knowledgeable 
willing seller in an arm’s length transaction as at the valuation date. Fair value is determined by direct reference to recent market 
transactions on arm’s length terms for land and buildings comparable in size and location to those held by the Group, and to 
market based yields for comparable properties.

In 2019, the Group engaged KJPP Pung’s Zulkarnain Dan Rekan, accredited independent valuers to determine the fair value of its 
Indonesian land and buildings. The effective date of the valuation was 30 June 2019 and fair value was determined as $2,375,572.

In 2020, the Group engaged Herron Todd White, accredited independent valuers to determine the fair value of its Australian land 
and buildings respectively. The effective date of the valuation was 30 June 2020 and fair value was determined as $11,800,000.

There has been no change in the valuation technique in current or prior period.

For June 2020, it was determined by the finance provider and supported by the directors that there was no significant change in 
fair value for its Indonesian land and buildings.

The Group is currently investing in the further development of their existing enterprise resource planning system. These 
developments are scheduled to be completed by February 2021.

16.  Share-based payments plans 

Long Term Incentives (LTI) Plan
The LTI program has been designed to align the remuneration 
received by executive directors and senior managers with the 
creation of shareholder wealth.

Consequently LTI grants are only made to executives who are 
in a position to influence shareholder wealth and thus have the 
opportunity to influence the company’s performance against 
the relevant long term performance hurdles.

Structure

At the 2019 Annual General Meeting, an LTI plan was renewed 
for LTI grants to executives in the form of share rights.

These rights are granted in two equal parts. The first part 
is based on retention and requires the holder remain an 
employee for three years from grant date. The second part 
is based on delivering superior long-term performance as 
measured by Return on Equity (“ROE”), with each grant of 
rights divided into three equal tranches. For each tranche, 
actual ROE is measured against a budget ROE and a stretch 
ROE as determined annually by the Board in respect of the 
forthcoming year. The proportion of the rights which vest 
depend on where within this range the Group performs, with 
100% vesting on achieving the stretch ROE and no rights 
vesting if actual ROE is less than 90% of the budgeted ROE. 
For the 2020 year the stretch ROE was set at 115% of the 
budget ROE. Any rights to which the employee may become 
entitled on achieving the performance criteria, are still subject 
to the three year retention criteria before they can vest.

Any share rights which do not vest, as a result of the relevant 
performance condition not being satisfied, lapse. If the holder 
leaves the business, the unvested rights lapse on the leaving 
date unless the Board determines otherwise. In the event of a 
change in control of the Group, the vesting date will generally 
be brought forward to the date of change of control and share 
rights will vest subject to performance over this shortened 
period, subject to ultimate Board discretion.

Once vested a holder may exercise their share rights and be 
allocated a fully paid ordinary share of Bisalloy at no cost to the 
employee or the equivalent in cash at the Board’s discretion. 

During the 30 June 2020 financial year, 400,000 share rights 
were awarded to executives under this scheme. In recent 
years, there have been a number of instances in which 
settlement has taken the form of 50% equity and 50% cash. 
As a result, the accounting treatment at 30 June 2020 has 
been updated to reflect this, with $290k being reclassified 
from Employee equity benefits reserve to Employee 
benefit liabilities. 

The share rights have been valued by Mercer (Australia) Pty 
Ltd. A fair value expressed as a value per share right has been 
determined as at the grant date for each grant of rights. The 
rights have been valued according to a discounted cash flow 
(DCF) methodology. The share price at valuation date and 
a 3.9% dividend yield for Grant 6, a 7.7% dividend yield for 
Grant 7, a 5.5% dividend yield for Grant 8, a 5.1% dividend 
yield for Grants 9 and 10, a 4.5% dividend yield for Grant 11 
and a 3.9% dividend yield for Grants 12 and 13 (based on 
historic and future estimates at the time) formed the basis 
of the valuation. Refer to note 2(n) for further details on the 
valuation methodology.

19.3   Financial risk management

Trade and other receivables

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of 
financial instruments:

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the 
individual characteristics of each customer. The Group has a 
narrow customer base and has the potential to be exposed to 
credit risk on a specific customer.

•  Credit risk

•  Liquidity risk

•  Market risk

The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks, and also 
opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the 
Group’s objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and 
opportunities identified by the Board.

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee 
comprising non-executive directors, whose meetings 
are also attended by the executive directors. In addition 
sub-committees are convened as appropriate in response 
to issues and risks identified by the Board, and the 
sub-committee further examines the issue and reports back to 
the Board.

The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure 
that management’s objectives and activities are aligned with 
the risks identified by the Board. These include the following:

•  Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses 
the Group’s vision, mission and strategy statements, 
designed to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage 
business risk.

• 

Implementation of Board approved operating plans and 
budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these 
budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of 
KPIs of both a financial and non-financial nature.

•  The establishment of committees to report on specific 
business risks, including for example, matters such as 
environmental issues and concerns and occupational 
health and safety.

•  The Board reviews financial risks such as the Group’s 
liquidity, currency, interest rate and credit policies and 
exposures and monitors management’s actions to ensure 
they are in line with Group policy.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer 
fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally 
from the Group’s receivables from customers. 

A credit policy is in place, the objective of which is:

•  To ensure all credit worthiness checks are carried out 
prior to opening new credit accounts and appropriate 
authorisations obtained; 

•  To ensure the approved credit limit is appropriate to the 
inherent risk of trading with any particular customer;

•  To ensure all orders are converted into cash within 

trading terms; 

•  To minimise late payments and any potential bad debts 
through the constant application of sound commercial 
debtor management on a continuing basis;

The credit policy requires credit insurance to be taken out 
against customers where the concentration risk of trading with 
any specific customer is assessed as high.

Goods are sold subject to retention of title clauses that permit 
the Group to reclaim stock from a customer up to the value of 
monies owed in the event: 

•  Official Manager

•  Receiver and Manager

•  Administrator

•  Liquidator

or similar business administration is appointed to the 
customer’s business.

The Group performs an impairment analysis at each reporting 
date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit 
losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for 
groupings of various customer segments with similar loss 
patterns (i.e. geographical region and coverage by insurance). 
The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, 
the time value of money and reasonable and supportable 
information that is available at the reporting date about 
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future 
economic conditions. The maximum exposure to credit risk 
for these financial assets is limited to their carrying amounts 
as disclosed in note 11. The Group does not hold collateral 
as security. 

Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual Report19.  Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several 
jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. 

The Group has for a number of years had credit insurance in place for Australian sales, however in July 2018 the Group began 
obtaining credit insurance for its Indonesian local sales. 

Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the Group’s trade receivables and contract assets using a 
provision matrix:

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to 
managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as and when they 
fall due without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damaging the Group’s reputation. 

On 24 January the Group entered into a new facility agreement comprising a $7m bank bill facility (increased from $5.8m), a 
$12m invoice finance facility (increased from $10m) and a $9m trade finance facility (increased from $6m). The drawn invoice 
finance facility balance is limited to the value of the available collateral being eligible receivables, and fluctuates daily. Eligible trade 
receivables, eligible inventory, plant and equipment and real property constitute available collateral. At reporting date, the carrying 
amount of assets pledged as collateral was $65.0m (2019: $55.1m).

In addition to the eligible collateral, the Group has several general and financial undertakings which it must comply with including 
an Equity Ratio covenant, a Leverage Ratio covenant and an Interest Cover Ratio covenant. 

Due to the nature of the facility, cashflow is managed on a daily basis, comparing actual against forecast collateral, receipts and 
payments. Each month a complete review is undertaken of the projected daily cashflow.

Management analysis of financial assets and liabilities

The table below is based on management expectations of the timing of cash inflows and outflows from its financial assets and 
liabilities which reflect a balanced view of cash inflows and outflows. Net settled derivatives comprise forward exchange contracts 
that are used to hedge future sales and purchase commitments.

Leasing obligations, trade payables and other financial liabilities mainly originate from the financing of assets used in our ongoing 
operations such as property, plant, equipment and investments in working capital (e.g., inventories and trade receivables). These 
assets are considered in the Group’s overall liquidity risk. 

To monitor existing financial assets and liabilities as well as to enable an effective controlling of future risks, the Group has 
established comprehensive risk reporting covering its operation that reflects expectations of management of expected settlement 
of financial assets and liabilities.

Throughout the year the foreign exchange risk has been 
actively managed through periodic risk assessments. The 
objective of these assessments is to stratify foreign exchange 
exposure into risk categories and enable available hedge 
facilities to be applied to those assessed as higher risk. 

Risk assessments take into account macroeconomic lead 
indicators such as interest rate differentials, inflation rate 
differentials and externally published market analytical data to 
determine the likelihood of movement in exchange rates. The 
likelihood is applied to the Group’s foreign currency exposure 
to determine financial impact on a sensitivity basis.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such 
as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity 
prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its 
holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk 
management is to manage and control market risk exposures 
within acceptable parameters, while optimising return.

Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future 
cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of 
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure 
to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates 
primarily to the Group’s operating activities (when revenue 
or expense is denominated in different currency from the 
Group’s functional currency) and the Group’s net investment in 
foreign subsidiaries.

The Group manages its foreign currency risk by hedging 
transactions that are expected to occur within a maximum 
twelve-month period. The Group generally adopts a policy of 
covering exchange exposures related to purchases and sales 
of product at the time they are incurred or committed.

The following table summarises the sensitivity of financial instruments held at balance date to possible movements in the 
exchange rate of the Australian dollar to foreign currencies, with all other variables held constant. The +10%/-10% sensitivity is 
based on reasonably possible changes, over a financial year, using the observed range of actual historical rates for the preceding 
5 year period, along with consideration for current market trends.

Interest rate risk
The Group’s borrowing facility has a variable interest rate attached to it. The Group monitors the underlying interest rate outlook 
and considers the use of interest rate derivatives (principally swaps) to manage the exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s interest bearing borrowings. At 30 June 2020, the 
Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to variable interest rates that are not designated in cash 
flow hedges.

19.  Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Assets/Liabilities Measured at Fair value
The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of assets and liabilities. The methods comprise:

Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 – the fair value is calculated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or 
liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of the assets and liabilities as well as the methods used to estimate the fair value are summarised in the table below. 
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether 
transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is 
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

At 30 June 2020 the fair values of land, buildings and improvements were determined by reference to valuations performed in 
June 2020 (Note 14 (b)). For properties not subject to independent valuations, fair value was determined by Directors’ valuation.

Transfer between categories
There were no transfers between levels during the year. The fair value of loans and borrowings approximates the carrying value. 
The 2019 figures have been restated from what was reported in the 2019 financial report with the valuation technique for Land & 
Buildings re-allocated from Level 3 to Level 2. This now reflects the valuation technique used to determine the fair values, which 
was calculated using market observable inputs.

(c)  Capital management
When managing capital, the Group’s objective is to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. 
The Group also aims to maintain a capital structure that delivers the lowest cost of capital available to its operations.

The Group adjusts the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on assets. As the 
economic conditions change, the Group may change the amount of dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital to 
shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)for the year ended 30 June 2020Bisalloy Steel Group Limited 2020 Annual ReportNo changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 30 June 2020 
and 2019.

The Group monitors capital through the gearing ratio (net debt/ total equity plus net debt) and currently targets a gearing ratio 
of between 10% and 35%. The Group includes within net debt interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash 
equivalents. The gearing ratios based on continuing operations at 30 June 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report 
of the Company is in accordance with the 
Corporations Act 2001, including: 

• giving a true and fair view of the Group's 
financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

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 Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for

Code.

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. 

This matter was 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 this matter. 

Revenue recognition ($110,719K) 

Refer to Note 2(r) of the financial report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Recognition of revenue is a key audit matter due 
to the: 

  Significance of revenue to the financial 

statements; and 

  Varying contract arrangements applicable to 
the Group with different points in time when 
control of the asset is transferred to the 
customer.  In addition, the Group recognises 
revenue from the services of shipping and 
handling over time as the service is 
performed. This results in complex and 
judgemental revenue recognition from sale of 
goods and services of shipping and handling 
and therefore significant audit effort is 
required to gather sufficient audit evidence for 
revenue recognition. 

We also focused on the Group’s assessment of 
the amount of revenue recognised from sale of 
goods variable consideration which is highly 
probable of not reversing, as applicable.  The 
Group's determination that variable consideration 
is highly probable requires a degree of estimation 
and judgement. This increased the audit effort we 
applied to gather sufficient audit evidence. 

Our procedures included: 

  Obtaining an understanding of the Group’s 

process for revenue recognition from sale of 
goods and services of shipping and handling. 

  Considering the appropriateness of the 

Group’s accounting policies for the recognition 
and measurement of revenue, including 
variable consideration, against the 
requirements of AASB 15 Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers. 

  Selecting a statistical sample of revenue 
transactions across  varying contract 
arrangements applicable to the Group: 
‐ 

during the year. We  evaluated the timing 
and amount of revenue recognised in 
comparison to underlying records 
including, terms and conditions in the 
underlying customer contract, sales 
invoice,  and bank statement cash 
receipts; and, 
Focussed around the year end cut-off. We 
evaluated the timing and amount of 
revenue recognised in comparison to 
underlying records including, terms and 
conditions in the underlying customer 
contract, sales invoice, delivery docket 
and bank statement cash receipts. 

‐ 

  we evaluated the method applied by the 

Group to estimate the highly probable amount 
of the variable consideration against the 
specific contract terms. This included 
gathering underlying evidence in relation to 
the customer’s early settlement discounts 
against the terms of the contract. We then 
recalculated the amount of variable 
consideration. We compared the recalculated

amount to the amounts recorded by the Group 
as offsets to revenue. 

  Assessing the appropriateness of disclosures 

in the financial statements using our 
understanding obtained from our testing and 
against the requirements of the accounting 
standards.

Other Information 

Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Bisalloy Steel Group Limited’s annual 
reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are 
responsible for the Other Information. 

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the 
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In 
doing so, we 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. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of 
this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The Directors are responsible for: 

• preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; 

• implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true 
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and, 

• assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the 
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to 
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the 
Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is:  

• 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the 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/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of our 
Auditor’s Report.
