Chairman’s & Chief Executive Officer’s Report

The Beacon Lighting Group is pleased to announce the financial results for FY2020. With the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic it was, 
without a doubt, an unprecedented year, yet a financially successful one for the Group.  During the pandemic period, following the 
introduction of additional safety measures including social distancing, intensive cleaning and restrictions on the number of customers 
visiting, Beacon Lighting stores were able to remain open. It is in these circumstances that the Board of Directors would like to thank 
our associates, customers, business partners and general community for their support and contribution to Beacon Lighting’s success 
in FY2020. 

FY2020 HIGHLIGHTS

The key highlights which contributed to the statutory result in 
FY2020 include:

• Record sales result of $252.2 million.

• Record Net Profit After Tax result of $22.2 million.

• Company store comparative sales increase of 7.2%.

•  Record online sales of $16.2 million in Australia 

representing growth of 50.2%

has  a  designer  showroom  in  Malvern  (VIC).  During  FY2020, 
the  Beacon  Lighting  Group  managed  the  closure  of  Beacon 
Energy Solutions. 

During March and April 2020, there was significant uncertainty 
regarding the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic would have 
on  the  Beacon  Lighting  Group.  It  was  during  this  time  that 
Beacon Lighting made changes to its business operations and 
current  investment  plans  to  respond  to  the  uncertain  trading 
outlook.  Fortunately,  Beacon  Lighting  stores  were  able  to 
remain open throughout FY2020. During April, May and June 
2020,  Beacon  Lighting  stores  experienced  significant  growth 
in  sales  as  its  customers  were  spending  more  time  working, 
educating and completing projects at home.

•  The successful sale and leaseback of the Parkinson 

Distribution Centre (QLD).

FINANCIAL RESULT

•  The purchase of the designer lighting business Custom 
Lighting (VIC) and the franchised Beacon Lighting store 
at Myaree (WA).

• Managed the closure of Beacon Energy Solutions.

GROUP OVERVIEW

The  Beacon  Lighting  Group 
finished  FY2020  with  108 
company  stores  and  3  franchised  stores  operating  in  all 
states and territories in Australia. During FY2020, the Beacon 
Lighting Group purchased the franchised store at Myaree (WA) 
and  converted  it  into  a  company  store.  The  company  stores 
at  Mandurah  (WA)  and  Sunshine  (VIC)  were  closed  during 
FY2020.

Beacon  Lighting  Commercial  continues  to  operate  sales 
offices  in  Brisbane  (QLD),  Sydney  (NSW),  Melbourne  (VIC), 
Adelaide (SA) and Perth (WA). Beacon Lighting also operates 
two distribution centres at Derrimut (VIC) and Parkinson (QLD).

As a part of the Emerging Businesses, Beacon International has 
sales offices in Hong Kong, Germany and the United States of 
America with a support office in China. Light Source Solutions 
Globes  has  sales  teams  in  both  Australia  and  New  Zealand 
while  Light  Source  Solutions  Roadway  services  customers 
across  Australia.  Masson  For  Light  has  an  architectural 
lighting  showroom  in  Richmond  (VIC)  and  Custom  Lighting 

The  Beacon  Lighting  Group  statutory  sales  and  profit  result 
in FY2020 was a tale of two halves. During H1 FY2020, sales 
declined by 3.7% and the Net Profit After Tax result increased 
by  8.7%  which  was  supported  by  the  profits  on  the  sale  and 
leaseback  of  the  Parkinson  (QLD)  Distribution  Centre.  The 
result also included Net Profit After Tax losses of $3.6 million 
incurred  on  the  closure  of  Beacon  Energy  Solutions.  During 
H2 FY2020, sales increased by 9.5% and the Net Profit After 
Tax result increased by 117.4%. Overall, in FY2020, the Beacon 
Lighting  Group  achieved  a  sales  increase  of  2.6%  and  a  Net 
Profit After Tax increase of 38.5%.

In  FY2020,  the  Beacon  Lighting  Group  achieved  a  record 
sales  result  of  $252.2  million.  This  included  a  company  store 
comparative  sales  increase  of  7.2%  based  on  a  52  week 
comparable  basis.  Pleasingly,  all  states  and  territories  had 
positive comparative sales increases with the best performing 
states  being  Western  Australia,  Tasmania,  Queensland  and 
New  South  Wales.  The  comparative  store  sales  were  also  in 
part  supported  by  record  online  sales  which  increased  by 
50.6% to $16.2 million in sales. 

Exchange  rate  volatility  continued  to  challenge  the  setting  of 
selling prices. The gross profit margins in H1 FY2020 declined 
compared to H1 FY2019. Strong sales in H2 FY2020 provided 
Beacon  Lighting  with  the  opportunity  to  reduce  discounting 
previously  used  to  drive  sales.  Consequently,  the  Beacon 
Lighting  Group  achieved  a  gross  profit  margin  of  63.9% 
in  FY2020  compared  to  the  gross  profit  margin  of  64.0%  in 
FY2019. 

CHAIRMAN’S AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

1

The  Beacon  Lighting  Group  achieved  an  other  revenue  and 
income  result  of  $8.8  million  which  mainly  comprised  of  the 
$7.8  million  profit  relating  to  the  sale  and  leaseback  of  the 
Parkinson (QLD) Distribution Centre. 

The  Beacon  Lighting  Group  has  always  had  a  strong  cost 
control  focus  which  was  even  more  important  during  the 
COVID-19  pandemic.  Many  additional  cost  control  measures 
were  put  in  place  in  H2  FY2020  including  delaying  non-
essential  projects,  reduced  advertising  expenditure  and  a 
4-day week for the teams across the stores and Store Support 
Centre.  It  was  fantastic  to  see  the  strength  of  our  team  and 
support  from  our  customers  during  those  challenging  times. 
For  FY2020,  Operating  Expenses  (which  included  the  impact 
of AASB 16 Lease Accounting for the first time) were 42.6% of 
sales compared with 52.6% of sales in FY2019.

The  Beacon  Lighting  Group  achieved  a  statutory  Net  Profit 
After Tax result of $22.2 million in FY2020 compared to $16.0 
million in FY2019. 

KEY GROWTH STRATEGIES

Beacon Lighting Group’s key growth strategies in FY2021 are 
as follows:

•  Continue to enhance the brand and the customer experience 
in  stores  and  online  in  order  to  increase  differentiation  and 
drive incremental sales.

•  Offer  an  extensive  range  of  the  latest,  on  trend,  energy 
efficient  and  technically  advanced  lighting  and  ceiling  fan 
products to our customers.

(compared to 2.00 cents per share for H2 FY2019). Along with 
the H1 FY2020 fully franked dividend of 2.60 cents per share 
(compared to 2.55 cents per share for H1 FY2019), this brings 
the annual Beacon Lighting Group dividend for FY2020 to 5.00 
cents per share (compared to 4.55 cents per share in FY2019). 
The Directors will continue to target a dividend payout ratio of 
between 50% and 60% of the annual Net Profit After Tax result.

Corporate Governance Statement

The Board of Directors of Beacon Lighting Group Limited is responsible for the corporate governance of the Group. This statement 
outlines the corporate governance policies and practices formally approved by the Board of Beacon Lighting. This statement is current 
as  at  19  August  2020.  These  policies  and  practices  are  in  accordance  with  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate 
Governance Principles and Recommendations (4th Edition) unless otherwise stated. The Board considers that the Group’s corporate 
governance  practices  and  procedures  substantially  reflect  the  principles.  The  full  content  of  the  Group’s  Corporate  Governance 
policies and charters can be found on the Group’s website (www.beaconlightinggroup.com.au).

PRINCIPLE 1

Lay Solid Foundations for Management and Oversight

The  Board’s  responsibilities  are  defined  in  the  Board  Charter 
and there is a clear delineation between the matters expressly 
reserved  to  the  Board  and  those  delegated  to  the  Chief 
Executive Officer and senior management.

The Board Charter outlines:

•  The  guidelines 

for  Board  composition, 

including 

the 

processes around Director appointments and resignations.

• The operation of the Board and the Board Committees.

•  The  roles  of  the  Board,  the  Chairperson,  CEO  and  senior 

management.

•  Specifically includes risk management responsibilities (rather 
than these being delegated to a separate Risk Committee).

A copy of the Board Charter is available on the Group’s website.

The Board and Committee Charters sets out the processes for 
the annual review of the performance of the Board as a whole, 
each Director and the Board Committees.

The  Board  has  established  a  Remuneration  and  Nomination 
Committee  which  is  responsible  for  reviewing  executive 
remuneration and incentive policies and practices.

The  Group  has  a  written  agreement  with  each  Director  and 
senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment. 

The  Group  has  adopted  a  Diversity  Policy.  The  Group  does 
not  propose  to  establish  measurable  objectives  for  achieving 
gender  diversity  in  the  foreseeable  future  as  recommended 
by  Recommendation  1.5  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance 
Principles  and  Recommendations.  The  Group  is  strongly 
committed  to  making  all  selection  decisions  on  the  basis  of 
merit  and  the  setting  of  specific  targets  for  the  proportion 
of  men  and  women  at  any  level  would  potentially  influence 
decision making to the detriment of the business.

The  Diversity  Policy  affirms  the  commitment  of  the  Group 
to  embrace  diversity  and  sets  out  the  principles  and  work 
practices to ensure that all associates have the opportunity to 
achieve their full potential. The policy is periodically reviewed to 
check it is operating effectively.

The Group undertakes appropriate background checks before 
appointing a Director or senior executive including checks as to 
the person's character, experience, education, criminal record 
and bankruptcy history.

BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2020The  Remuneration  and  Nominations  Committee  has  four 
members. Three are independent: Eric Barr and Neil Osborne, 
as independent Directors and Andrew Hanson as an external 
consultant.  Ian  Robinson,  Executive  Chairman,  is  the  other 
member.

The Committee is chaired by Eric Barr.

A  copy  of  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee 
Charter is available on the Group’s website.

In  relation  to  nominations,  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination 
Committee is responsible for:

•  Assessing current and future Director skills and experiences 

and identifying suitable candidates for succession.

•  Annually enquiring of the Executive Chairman and the Chief 
Executive  Officer  their  processes  for  evaluating  their  direct 
reports.

An  internal  process  of  evaluation  is  undertaken  annually  on 
the  performance,  skills  and  knowledge  of  the  Board  and  its 
committees, utilising a board skills matrix and by reference to 
the Board & Committee Evaluation Policy. The review provides 
comfort  to  the  Board  that  its  structure  and  performance  is 
effective  and  appropriate  to  Beacon  Lighting  and  that  the 
Board  has  the  range  of  skills,  knowledge  and  experience  to 
direct the Group.

The Board skills matrix sets out the requisite skills, expertise, 
experience  and  other  desirable  attributes  for  the  Board.  The 
following attributes have been identified which Beacon seeks to 
achieve across its Board membership: other Board experience, 
retail  industry  experience,  financial  management  experience 
and governance experience.

and  experience.  They  bring  to  the  Board  a  variety  of  skills 
and  experience,  including  industry  and  business  knowledge, 
financial management, accounting, operational and corporate 
governance experience. The annual report includes details of 
the Directors, including their specific experience, expertise and 
term of office.

To enable performance of their duties, all Directors:

the  ASX  Corporate 
Recommendations  2.4  and  2.5  of 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  recommends 
that  the  Board  comprise  a  majority  of  Directors  who  are 
independent,  and  that    the  Chairperson  should  be  an 
independent  Director.  The  Board,  as  currently  composed, 
does  not  comply  with  these  recommendations.  The  Board 
considers  that  the  composition  of  the  Board  is  appropriate 
given the Group's present circumstances. 

PRINCIPLE 3

Instill a Culture of Acting Lawfully, Ethically and Responsibly

The  Group  has  adopted  a  written  Code  of  Conduct  in 
accordance  with  Recommendation  3.2  which  applies  to  the 
Directors and all associates employed by the Group, including 
senior  management.  The  objective  of  this  Code  is  to  ensure 
that  high  standards  of  corporate  and  individual  behavior  are 
observed by all associates in the context of their employment.  
The Code of Conduct includes the Group's statement of values 
that  defines  the  behavioural  expectations  of  all  Directors, 
Officers, senior management and associates.

In summary, the Code requires associates to always act:

•   In a professional, fair and ethical manner, in accordance with 

the Group values.

•   In  accordance  with  applicable  legislation  and  regulations, 

and internal policies and procedures.

•   In  a  manner  that  protects  the  Group  interests,  reputation, 

property and resources.

The  Code  also  reminds  associates  of  their  responsibility  to 
raise any concerns in relation to suspected or actual breaches 
of  the  Code.  All  Directors  and  associates  employed  by  the 
Group  receive  appropriate  training  on  their  obligations  under 
the Code. 

Beacon Lighting has a whistleblower policy in accordance with 
Recommendation 3.3 and ensures that the Board is informed

comment, or raise questions of Directors on any matter relevant 
to  the  performance  and  operation  of  the  Group.  The  Group

matter relevant to the performance and operation of the Group.

PRINCIPLE 7

Recognise and Manage Risk

Recommendation  7.1  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance 
Principles  and  Recommendations  recommends  that  a  listed 
company either have a committee to oversee risk or otherwise 
disclose the processes it employs to for overseeing the Group's 
risk management framework.

The  Board  does  not  currently  have  a  committee  to  oversee 
risk.  Instead,  the  Board  Charter  specifically  includes  risk 
management responsibilities (rather than these being delegated 
to a separate Risk Committee).

The Board evaluates all risks to the Group on an annual basis. 
The risk matrix is then reviewed at regular intervals throughout 
the year to ensure that the Group is not being exposed to any 
new  risks  and  that  all  existing  risks  are  being  monitored  and 
managed effectively. 

The  Board  retains  oversight  responsibility  for  assessing  the 
effectiveness  of  the  Group’s  systems  for  the  management  of 
material  business  risks.  The  Board  reviews  the  Group's  risk 
management on an annual basis to ensure it continues to be 
sound. 

The Board does not consider a separate internal audit function 
is  necessary  at  this  stage.  One  of  the  Audit  Committee 
responsibilities  is  to  evaluate  compliance  with  the  Group’s 
risk  management  and  internal  control  processes.  The  Audit 
Committee  periodically  reviews  whether  there  is  a  need  for  a 
separate internal audit function.

The Board has received written assurances from management 
as  to  the  effectiveness  of  the  Group’s  management  of  its 
material business risks.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer provide 
a  written  assurance  in  the  form  of  a  declaration  in  respect 
of  each  relevant  financial  period  that,  in  their  opinion,  the 
declaration 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.

Recommendation  7.4  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance 
Principles  and  Recommendations  requires  the  Group  to 

disclose  details  about  whether  it  has  any  material  exposure 
to  economic,  environmental  and  social  sustainability  risks  (if 
any). The Group has considered the following risks and has risk 
mitigation strategies in place.  

Economic Risks include impacts to consumers’ willingness to 
spend on discretionary retail and lighting products in particular. 
The Group mitigates the risk through the constant monitoring 
of  the  macro-economic  environment  and  adjusting  capital 
expenditure, new projects and operating expenses accordingly.  
During the first part of FY2020, consumer sentiment was low 
and  housing  activity  was  subdued  which  impacted  upon 
consumers  willingness  to  spend  with  Beacon  Lighting.  With 
the  introduction  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  Beacon  Lighting 
experienced  significant  growth  in  sales  as  consumers  were 
spending  more  time  working,  educating  and  completing 
projects  at  home.  It  should  however  be  noted,  that  with  the 
COVID-19 pandemic impacts, it is uncertain as to whether the 
higher levels of sales will continue in the future.

Exchange  Rate  Volatility  can  impact  upon  the  Group’s 
ability to grow margins. The Group can also lock in a forward 
position for this foreign exchange exposure for a period of up 
to 12 months.  The Board believes this mitigates the Group’s 
exchange rate volatility risk to an acceptable level.

Environmental Risks include impacts on the Group’s supply 
chain  from  suppliers  through  to  stores.  These  risks  can  be 
reputational, regulatory and financial. The Boards assesses its 
primary exposure to be in the production of its products. The 
Group  continues  to  operate  responsibly  with  the  community 
and to work with supply chain stakeholders in order to reduce 
the Group’s impact upon the environment.

Social  Risks  include  workplace  health  and  safety  as  well  as 
personnel management and corporate conduct. The Group has 
an extensive workplace health and safety policy incorporating 
the  early  identification  and  correction  of  potential  risks,  both 
in store, at the distribution centers and at the support offices. 
The  Board  is  informed  of  all  incidents  and  material  potential 
risks at each Board meeting and the appropriate action taken. 
During  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  the  safety  and  well  being 
of  our  associates,  customers,  business  partners  and  the 
community  have  been  the  priority  of  the  Group.  The  Group 
has  implemented  social  distancing  standards,  invested  in 
additional  intensive  cleaning,  introduced  hand  sanitisers  and 
restricted the number of customers visiting our stores. 

impact 

Corporate  Conduct  Risks  could 
regulatory, 
reputational  and  financial  performance.  It  includes  stock  loss 
and  theft.  The  Group  has  a  dedicated  store  operations  team 
to regularly monitor and assess store related risks. The Group 
undertakes  regular  inventory  counts  and  analysis  of  store 
performance to reduce the risk of material loss.

PRINCIPLE 8

Remunerate Fairly and Responsibly

Recommendation 8.1 of the Corporate Governance Principles 
and  Recommendations,  recommends  that  the  remuneration 
committee should comprise a majority of independent Directors. 
The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  as  currently 
composed  does  not  comply  with  this  recommendation.  The 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee has four members. 
Three  are  independent:  Eric  Barr  and  Neil  Osborne,  as 
independent  Directors,  and  Andrew  Hanson  as  an  external 
consultant.  Ian  Robinson,  Executive  Chairman,  is  the  other 
member. The Committee is chaired by Eric Barr.

In relation to remuneration, the Remuneration and Nomination 
Committee is responsible for:

•  Ensuring the Group has remuneration policies and practices 

appropriate to attracting and retaining key talent.

•  Reviewing  and  making  recommendations  in  relation  to  the 

remuneration of Directors and senior management.

•  Reviewing  and  recommending  the  design  of  any  executive 
incentive plans and approving the proposed awards to each 
executive under those plans.

In  accordance  with 
its  Charter,  the  Remuneration  and 
Nomination  Committee  clearly  distinguishes  the  structure  of 
Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration from that of Executive 
Directors and senior executives.

Details  of  Directors’  and  executives’  remuneration,  including 
the  principles  used  to  determine  the  nature  and  amount  of 
remuneration, are disclosed in the remuneration report section 
of the annual report.

The  Group's  Securities  Trading  Policy  expressly  prohibits 
relevant  participants  from  entering  into  arrangements  that 
limit the economic risk of participating in the Group's incentive 
schemes prior to the relevant securities becoming fully vested.

BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 20204.2. COVID-19 Impact

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the number one priority of the Beacon Lighting Group has been the safety and wellbeing of our 
associates, customers, business partners and the community. The Group has implemented social distancing measures, invested in 
additional intensive  cleaning,  provided hand sanitisers to all stores and followed government guidelines restrictions on limiting the 
number of customers visiting our stores at one time. Fortunately, Beacon Lighting stores were able to remain open throughout FY2020.

During March and April 2020, there was significant uncertainty regarding the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic would have on the 
Beacon Lighting Group. It was during this time, that Beacon Lighting made changes to current business operations (e.g. reduced 
marketing expenditure and a freeze on recruitment) and delayed future investment plans (e.g. store refurbishments and new projects) 
to reflect the uncertainties in the world. During April, May and June 2020, Beacon Lighting stores experienced significant growth in 
sales as its customers were spending more time working, educating and completing projects at home. At no stage, did the Beacon 
Lighting Group apply for or receive significant government support such as the JobKeeper Allowance.

Given uncertainties around the extent of future COVID-19 cases, changes in customer shopping behaviors and changes to future 
government  policies  it  is  not  possible  to  forecast  whether  the  current  high  level  of  sales  being  experienced  will  continue.    This  is 
especially so considering recent Stage 4 restrictions recently applying to all 28 Melbourne metropolitan stores and Stage 3 restrictions 
applying to the 4 regional Victorian stores.  The Stage 4 restrictions have seen the closure of the Melbourne metropolitan stores except 
for trade customers (although all retail and trade customers can continue shopping online with home delivery and Click & Collect 
services from stores).  The regional Victoria stores however remain open while following stringent safety measures.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
4.3.2 Sales

Beacon Lighting achieved a record sales result with growth of 
8.0% to $250.9 million in FY2020. Company store comparative 
sales  increased  by  7.2%  with  the  best  performing  states 
being  Western  Australia,  Tasmania,  Queensland  and  New 
South  Wales.  Online  sales  increased  by  50.6%  and  Beacon 
International sales increased by 22.9%.

4.3.3 Gross Profit Margin

The  gross  profit  margin  was  65.5%  for  FY2020  compared  to 
the gross profit margin of 65.4% for FY2019. After a gross profit 
margin decline in H1 FY2020, the gross profit margin improved 
in  H2  FY2020  as  a  result  of  less  discounting,  new  product 
ranges and price management.  

4.3.4 Other Income & Other Revenue

Other  income  decreased  by  35.3%  to  $1.1  million.  Other 
income  received  from  franchised  stores  continued  to  decline 
as franchised stores continue to be purchased and converted 
to company operated stores.  

4.3.5 Operating Expenses

Operating  Expenses  increased  by  6.1%  to  $131.2  million 
in  FY2020.  Operating  Expenses  declined  by  0.9%  of  sales 
to  52.3% 
in  FY2020.  Expense  productivity  gains  were 
achieved  across  all  expense  categories  being  Marketing 
Expenses, Selling and Distribution Expenses and General and 
Administration Expenses.

4.3.6 Earnings

Beacon  Lighting  Group’s  Earnings  Before  Interest,  Tax, 
Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 14.3% to 
$34.3 million in FY2020. As a percentage of sales, the EBITDA 
margin of 13.7% in FY2020 increased from the EBITDA margin 
of  12.9%  in  FY2019.  The  Net  Profit  After  Tax  (NPAT)  result 
increased  by  16.8%  to  $19.1  million  or  7.6%  of  sales  from  a 
NPAT result of $16.4 million or 7.1% of sales in FY2019.

4.3.7 Dividends

The  Directors  of  Beacon  Lighting  have  declared  an  annual 
fully  franked  dividend  of  5.00  cents  per  share  for  FY2020 
(compared to 4.55 cents per share for FY2019). For H1 FY2020, 
the Directors had already declared a fully franked dividend of 
2.60  cents  per  share  and  for  H2  FY2020,  the  Directors  have 
declared  a  fully  franked  dividend  of  2.40  cents  per  share. 
Going forward, it is expected that the Beacon Lighting Group 
will continue to have an annual NPAT dividend payout ratio of 
between 50% and 60%.

4.3.8 Financial Position

In  December  2019,  the  Beacon  Lighting  Group  sold  the 
Parkinson  (QLD)  Distribution  Centre  for  $28.0  million.  This 
provided  the  Group  with  the  opportunity  to  retire  some  debt 
and have a very strong cash position going into the COVID-19 
pandemic.  Given  the  strong  sales  result  in  H2  FY2020  and 
the  reduction  in  inventories  to  $63.1  million,  Beacon  Lighting 
finished  FY2020  with  a  cash  balance  of  $44.9  million.  With 
borrowings of $30.4 million, the Beacon Lighting Group has a 
strong net cash position of $14.5 million at the end of FY2020.

The  Receivables  balance  has  declined  to  $8.6  million  as  a 

result of the closure of Beacon Energy Solutions. The Property, 
Plant and Equipment balance has declined to $32.8 million as a 
result of the sale of the Parkinson (QLD) Distribution Centre and 
the  conservative  attitude  to  new  investments  throughout  H2 
FY2020. Throughout FY2020, Beacon Lighting has continued 
to operate comfortably within all of its bank covenants.

4.4 Business Strategies

Beacon  Lighting  intends  to  drive  sales  and  profit  growth 
through a number of different business strategies.

4.4.1 Brand and Customer

Beacon  Lighting  will  continue  to  enhance  the  brand  and  the 
customer  experience  in  order  to  increase  differentiation  and 
drive incremental sales. Beacon Lighting continues to design, 
develop  and  release  uniquely  branded  products  with  a  core 
range  of  more  than  3,000  products.  With  285  Accredited 
Lighting  Design  Consultants  across  the  store  network  and 
26  Premium  Lighting  Design  Studios,  Beacon  Lighting  can 
offer a unique customer service experience.  Beacon Lighting 
continues to provide inspiration to our customers through the 
association with top rating home improvement programs such 
as The Block and House Rules. With the alignment of 111 stores 
with  the  online  sales  channel,  Beacon  Lighting  continues  to 
provide its customers with convenience and choice.

4.4.2 Store Optimisation

Beacon  Lighting  will  target  the  growth  of  sales  and  profits 
through  the  optimisation  of  the  existing  store  network.  There 
are  new  sales  opportunities  for  all  Beacon  Lighting  stores  as 
customers  are  now  spending  more  time  working  from  home. 
The  long  maturity  cycle  of  stores  with  trade  customers  also 
provides for further sales growth opportunities. In FY2020, two 
company  stores  in  Sunshine  (VIC)  and  Mandurah  (WA)  were 
closed with a significant proportion of sales retained by nearby 
stores. The Group also implemented the Time2Work Workforce 
Management System to better support its associates in serving 
our customers.

4.4.3 New Store Rollout

Beacon Lighting plans to open around five new company stores 
in  Australia  each  year.  In  FY2019,  Beacon  Lighting  opened 
five  new  company  stores  and  closed  one  store.  In  FY2020, 
no new stores were opened due to a lack of compelling sites 
and  comparative  sales  experienced  in  the  last  12  months.  In 
FY2021, Beacon Lighting is already committed to opening new 
company stores at Virginia (QLD), Belmont (WA), Camperdown 
(NSW)  and  Tweed  Heads  (NSW).  Market  research  support  a 
future network plan of 170 stores in Australia.

4.4.4 New Product Ranges

Beacon Lighting will offer an extensive range of the latest, on 
trend, technologically advanced and energy-efficient products 
to its customers. With the introduction of 453 new products in 
FY2020, Beacon Lighting aims to refresh its core product range 
in  all  stores  each  year.  Beacon  Lighting  launched  LED  strip 
lighting custom built for Beacon Lighting stores, increased the 
range of smart lighting products, launched the GECKO outdoor 
DIY  smart  lighting  collection  and  introduced  the  largest  ever 
release of bathroom lighting with 65 new products.

BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 20204.4.5 Online and Social Media Presence

Beacon Lighting will continue to enhance its online and social 
media  presence  in  order  to  drive  incremental  sales.  With  the 
introduction  of  a  new  Web-Agency  and  the  re-platforming  of 
the  Group  websites,  Beacon  Lighting  will  be  launching  new 
websites in FY2021. In FY2020, the Group improved our service 
to online customers through improved website order fulfillment 
by splitting online orders to multiple stores based on inventory 
availability. Beacon Lighting has enhanced its social following 
now reaching more than 100,000 followers on Instagram.

4.4.6 Emerging Businesses

Beacon Lighting will continue to target the growth of sales and 
profits of its Emerging Businesses being Beacon International, 
Light  Source  Solutions  (Roadway  and  Globes),  Masson  for 
Light  and  Custom  Lighting.  These  businesses  continue  to 
offer significant growth opportunities for the Group, including 
synergies with the retail business and to strengthen the market 
opportunities  for  the  Beacon  Lighting  brand  within  Australian 
and around the world.

4.4.7 New Business Opportunities

investigate  and  pursue 

Beacon  Lighting  will 
local  and 
international business opportunities that complement the core 
business  activities  of  the  Group.  During  FY2020,  the  Beacon 
Lighting Group purchased the Myaree (WA) franchised stores 
and  converted  it  into  a  company  store.  Beacon  Lighting  also 
purchased  Custom  Lighting  in  Malvern  (VIC)  which  uniquely 
services the premium lighting design market. Beacon Lighting 
may  consider  other  suitable  business  opportunities  as  they 
become available. 

4.5 BUSINESS RISKS

Beacon Lighting is subject to both specific risks to the Group 
and  risks  of  a  general  nature  which  may  threaten  both  the 
current and future operating and financial performance of the 
Group and the outcome of an investment in Beacon Lighting.  
A  number  of  the  Group  risks  are  beyond  the  control  and 
influence of the Directors and management of Beacon Lighting, 
but  the  Group  has  in  place  mitigation  strategies  to  manage 
the impact of the risks should those risks occur. The specific 
material business risks faced by Beacon Lighting and how they 
are managed are set out below.

4.5.1  Retail  Environment  and  General  Economic 
Conditions
The Beacon Lighting Group is sensitive to the current state and 
future changes in the retail environment and general economic 
conditions.  This  includes,  but  is  not  limited  to,  interest  rates, 
consumer  confidence,  business  confidence,  unemployment 
rate,  property  prices,  housing  churn,  dwelling  approvals, 
government policy and natural disasters.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also presents additional risk 
to  the  Group.  An  increase  in  COVID-19  infections  in  Australia 
and overseas may have consequential impacts on demand for 
sales, supply chains and foreign currency volatility. A COVID-19 
outbreak 
in  particular  senior 
involving  associates  and 
management may also impact operational activities. 

Beacon  Lighting  plans  to  manage  the  Group  according  to 
the  current  environment  and  maintain  a  conservative  capital 
structure.

4.5.2 Foreign Currency Rates

The  majority  of  goods  purchased  and  imported  by  Beacon 
Lighting into Australia are purchased in USD. As a result, the 
Group  is  exposed  to  fluctuations  in  the  AUD/USD  exchange 
rate.  Beacon  Lighting  mitigates  this  risk  by  managing  selling 
prices to our customers, from a cost perspective, carrying all 
domestic  stock  in  Australia  in  AUD  and  by  using  FX  forward 
contracts to secure future FX positions.

4.5.3 Growth Strategies

Beacon  Lighting  has  several  different  growth  strategies  to 
generate  future  growth  and  earnings.  There  is  no  guarantee 
that  the  planned  benefits  of  these  strategies  will  be  realised. 
Beacon Lighting will continue to invest in and support growth 
strategies  that  will  increase  Group  value  in  the  long  term.  If 
these opportunities do not have this capability, then resources 
will be reallocated to other strategies.

4.5.4 Competition

Beacon Lighting operates in a competitive retail market which 
is subject to moderate barriers to entry, changing competitor 
tactics  and  consumer  preferences.  Beacon  Lighting  believes 
that with its vertically integrated business model and its business 
strategies,  the  Group  remains  well  positioned  to  maintain 
its  leading  retail  market  position  and  emerging  commercial 
position in Australia and other international markets.

4.5.5 Management Systems

The Beacon Lighting Group has several management systems 
which  are  critical  to  the  ongoing  operations  of  the  Group.  It 
is  important  that  these  management  systems  are  secure 
and  fit  for  purpose.  The  Group  needs  to  ensure  that  there 
are  appropriate  security  and  disaster  recovery  capabilities  in 
place to safeguard the ongoing operations of our management 
systems.

4.5.6 Product Sourcing, Quality and Supply

Beacon  Lighting  has  a  vertically  integrated  business  which 
relies upon a few key agents, factory relationships and quality 
assurance  processes  to  ensure  appropriate  continuity  of 
product  supply.    Beacon  Lighting  will  continue  to  develop  a 
supply  chain  which  is  not  critically  dependent  upon  any  one 
external  third  party.  Beacon  Lighting  will  consider  investment 
in  safety  stocks,  particularly  in  critical  lines  and  investigate 
alternative sources of supply where appropriate.

In addition to their statutory audit duties, PwC provided taxation 
services to the Group.

The Board has a review process in relation to non-audit services 
provided  by  the  external  auditor.  The  Board  considered  the 
non-audit services provided by PwC and, in accordance with 
written advice provided, and endorsed, by a resolution of the 
Audit Committee,  is  satisfied  that  the provision of these non-
audit services by the auditor is compatible with, and does not 
compromise,  the  auditor  independence  requirements  of  the 
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for the following reasons:

•  All non-audit services are subject to the corporate governance 
procedures adopted by the Group and are reviewed by the 
Audit Committee  to  ensure  they do  not impact the integrity 
and objectivity of the auditor.

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

15. AUDITOR

PricewaterhouseCoopers  continues  in  office  in  accordance 
with section 327 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

16. ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Group has relied on the relief provided by ASIC Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, and in accordance with that Instrument, 
amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off to 
the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest 
dollar.

17. REMUNERATION REPORT

17.1. Remuneration Policy and Link to Performance

The  Board  recognises  that  the  performance  of  the  Group 
depends  on  the  quality  and  motivation  of  our  associates, 
including  the  senior  management  and  our  more  than  1,000 
associates  employed  by  the  Group  across  Australia  and 
Internationally.  The  Group  remuneration  strategy  therefore 
seeks to appropriately attract, reward and retain associates at 
all levels in the business, but in particular for management and 
key executives. The Board aims to achieve this by establishing 
executive  remuneration  packages  that  include  a  mix  of  fixed 
remuneration and short term incentives.

The  Board  has  appointed  the  Remuneration  and  Nomination 
Committee  whose  objective  is  to  assist  the  Board  in  relation 
to  the  Group  remuneration  strategy,  policies  and  actions. 
In  performing  this  responsibility,  the  Committee  must  give 
appropriate  consideration  to  the  Group’s  performance  and 
objectives, employment conditions and external remuneration 
relativities.  The  Committee  reviews  and  determines  our 
remuneration policy and structure annually to ensure it remains 
aligned to business needs and meets the Group’s remuneration 
principles.  No  specific  advice  or  recommendations  were 
sought  from  remuneration  consultants  during  the  52  weeks 
ended 28 June 2020.

The remuneration framework for senior executives comprises 
a  mix  of  both  fixed  and  variable  remuneration  components. 
Variable remuneration may be delivered in the form of cash and 
performance  rights  or  options,  subject  to  the  achievement  of 
short term performance targets. An outline of the remuneration 
framework is set out on page 21.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee is responsible for assessing performance against KPIs and determining the STIs to be 
paid or issued. To assist in this assessment, the Committee receives detailed financial reports from management which are based on 
independently verifiable financial statements.

In  the  event  of  serious  misconduct  or  material  misstatement  in  the  Group’s  financial  statements  the  remuneration  committee  can 
cancel performance based remuneration and may also claw back performance based remuneration paid in previous financial years.

21

DIRECTORS’ REPORT 
17.2  Principles  Used  to  Determine  the  Nature  and 

Amount of Remuneration

(a) Directors’ Fees

The  Executive  Chairman  and  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  do 
not receive Directors’ fees but are remunerated as executives 
within the business.

The  Deputy  Chairman  and  the  Non-Executive  Director  are 
entitled  to  receive  annual  fees  of  $110,000  and  $100,000 
their  relevant 
respectively.  These 
responsibilities on the various Group Committees and are also 
inclusive of superannuation. These fees exclude any additional 
fees for special services which may be determined from time to 
time. No additional retirement benefits are payable.

inclusive  of 

fees  are 

The  Non-Executive  Director 
fees  are  reviewed  annually 
to  ensure  that  the  fees  reflect  market  rates.  There  are  no 
guaranteed  annual  increases  in  any  Directors’  fees.  The 
Executive  Chairman  and  Non-Executive  Directors  do  not 
participate in the short or long term incentive schemes.

(b) Executive Remuneration

The current executive salary and reward framework has three 
components:

1. Fixed Remuneration. 

2. Short Term Incentive (Cash Bonus).

3. Short Term Incentive (Performance Rights or Options).

The  combination  of 
executives’ total remuneration.

these  components  comprises 

the 

For the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2020, the Group did not have 
a long term incentive program in place.

1. Fixed Remuneration

Executive  base  salaries  are  structured  as  a  part  of  the  total 
employment  remuneration  package  which  comprises  the 
fixed  component  of  pay  and  other  financial  benefits  being 
car  allowances.  Fixed  remuneration  includes  superannuation 
which is paid in accordance with legislated amounts.

Fixed  remuneration  for  executives  is  reviewed  annually  to 
provide competitiveness with the market, whilst also taking into 
account  capability,  experience,  value  to  the  organization  and 
performance  of  the  individual.  There  are  no  guaranteed  base 
salary increases included in executive contracts. An executive’s 
remuneration is also reviewed on promotion.

In  FY2020  fixed  remuneration  was  increased  for  the  five 
executives at an average of increase of 0.23%. This was done 
to align remuneration with comparative roles.

2. Short Term Incentive (Cash Bonus)

Executives  including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  but  not  the 
Executive Chairman are eligible to participate in an annual short 
term  cash  incentive  which  delivers  rewards  by  way  of  cash 
bonuses,  subject  to  the  achievement  of  the  Group  financial 
performance targets.

22

The  Group’s  Net  Profit  Before  Tax  (NPBT)  result  has  been 
determined  as  the  appropriate  financial  performance  target 
to  trigger  the  payment  of  cash  incentives  for  each  period. 
The  amount  of  any  short  term  cash  incentive  paid  in  a  year 
is dependent upon the level of performance achieved against 
the  Group’s  NPBT  budget  for  the  year.  The  Board  considers 
NPBT to be an appropriate performance measure as it aligns 
the Group’s remuneration philosophy with creating value, and 
is within the scope of influence of participants.

3. Short Term Incentive (Performance Rights or Options).

During the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2020 the Group continued 
with  the  short  term  performance  rights  incentive  plan  and 
the  short  term  incentive  option  plan  for  selected  senior 
management. The Executive Chairman does not participate in 
either plan. The Chief Executive Officer (subject to shareholder 
approval)  and  one  executive  are  eligible  to  participate  in  the 
annual  short  term  performance  rights  incentive  plan,  subject 
to the achievement of the Group financial performance targets. 
Other executives are eligible to participate in the annual short 
term options incentive plan, subject to the achievement of the 
Group  financial  performance  targets.  Performance  rights  and 
options provide selected senior executives the opportunity to 
acquire  shares  or  potentially  be  cash  settled  at  employee’s 
discretion,  subject  to  meeting  the  relevant  conditions  for 
vesting including remaining an employee of the Group at that 
time, at no cost to the senior executive. 100% of the grants are 
assessed  by  financial  measures.  The  financial  measure  used 
is the Group’s NPBT result against the Group’s NPBT budget. 
This  is  tested  annually.  The  Board  considers  NPBT  to  be  an 
appropriate  performance  measure  as  it  aligns  the  Group’s 
remuneration philosophy with creating value, and is within the 
scope of influence of participants.

The  Board  will  review  the  nature  of  potential  issues  of 
performance  incentives  moving  forward  to  reflect  market 
practice  and  to  reflect  the  principles  underlying  the  Group's 
remuneration policy.

17.3 FY2020 Performance and Impact on Remuneration

Beacon Lighting's underlying NPBT financial performance in FY2020 was in line with the underlying FY2020 budget. For the 52 weeks 
ended 28 June 2020, the Group's underlying financial performance targets were met when compared to budget. Senior management 
will be awarded with available  short term cash incentive and the short term (performance rights or options), subject to board approval.

17.4 Statutory Performance Indicators

Beacon Lighting aims to align executive remuneration to strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder wealth. 
The table below shows measures of the Group’s financial performance over the last five years as required by the Corporations Act 
2001  (Cth).  However  these  measures  are  not  necessarily  consistent  with  measures  used  in  determining  the  variable  amounts  of 
remuneration  awarded  to  executives.  As  a  consequence  there  may  not  always  be  a  direct  correlation  between  the  statutory  key 
performance measures and the variable remuneration awarded.

BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 20201.  Summary of Significant Accounting 

Policies

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation 
of  this  consolidated  financial  report  is  set  out  below.  These 
policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all  the  periods 
presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial report is for 
the  consolidated  entity  consisting  of  Beacon  Lighting  Group 
Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of Preparation

This  general  purpose  financial  report  has  been  prepared 
in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board  and  the  Corporations  Act  2001  (Cth).  Beacon  Lighting 
Group Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing 
the financial report.

Beacon Lighting Group Limited operates within a retail financial 
period. The current financial period was a 52 week retail period 
ending on the 28 June 2020 (2019: 53 week period ending 30 
June 2019). This treatment is consistent with section 323D of 
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

(i)  New, Revised or Amended Accounting Standards and 

Interpretations Adopted by the Group

New and amended standards adopted by the Group 

The  Group  has  applied 
following  standards  and 
the 
amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period 
commencing 1 July 2019: 

• AASB 16 Leases. 

•  AASB  2018-1  Amendments 

to  Australian  Accounting 

Standards – Annual Improvements 2015- 2017 Cycle. 

• Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. 

The  Group  had  to  change  its  accounting  policies  as  a 
result  of  adopting  AASB  16.  The  Group  has  adopted  AASB 
16  retrospectively  from  1  July  2019,  but  has  not  restated 
comparatives  for  the  2019  reporting  period,  as  permitted 
under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The 
reclassifications  and  the  adjustments  arising  from  the  new 
leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance 
sheet on 1 July 2019. This is disclosed in Note 2.

The other amendments listed above did not have any impact on 
the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected 
to significantly affect the current or future periods.

(ii)  Impact of Standards Issued but Not Yet Applied  

by Group

Certain  new  accounting  standards  and  interpretations  have 
been  published  that  are  not  mandatory  for  28  June  2020 
reporting  periods  and  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the 
Group. These standards are not expected to have a material

impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods 
and on foreseeable future transactions.

(iii) Compliance with IFRS

The  consolidated  financial  report  of  the  Group  also  complies 
with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards Board.

(iv) Historical Cost Convention

This financial report has been prepared in accordance with the 
historical cost convention. 

(v) Critical Accounting Estimates

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires  the  use 
of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires 
management  to  exercise  its  judgement  in  the  process  of 
applying  the  Group’s  accounting  policies.  Refer  to  Note  36 
Critical Accounting Estimates for detailed explanation of items 
requiring assumptions and estimates.

(b) Comparative Financial Information

Unless  otherwise  stated,  the  accounting  policies  adopted 
are  consistent  with  those  of  the  previous  year.  Comparative 
information  is  reclassified  where  appropriate  to  enhance 
comparability  and  provide  more  appropriate  information  to 
users.    In  the  current  period  settlement  discounts  have  been 
mapped to sale of goods.  To enhance comparability the prior 
period  sale  of  goods  balance  has  been  restated  to  include 
settlement discounts.

(c) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial report incorporates the assets and 
liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Beacon  Lighting  Group  Limited 
(‘Group’ or ‘parent entity’) as at 28 June 2020 and the results 
of all subsidiaries for the period then ended. Beacon Lighting 
Group  Limited  and  its  subsidiaries  together  are  referred  to  in 
this financial report as the Group or the consolidated entity.

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

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for 
business combinations by the Group (refer to Note 1(i)).

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2020 and the 53 weeks ended 30 June 2019. Beacon Lighting Group and its controlled entities.NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSWhere  control  of  an  entity  is  obtained  during  a  financial 
period,  its  results  are  included  in  the  consolidated  statement 
of  comprehensive  income  from  the  date  on  which  control 
commences.  Where  control  of  an  entity  ceases  during  a 
financial  period  its  results  are  included  for  that  part  of  the 
period during which control existed.

Investments  in  subsidiaries  are  accounted  for  at  cost  in 
accounting records of Beacon Lighting Group Limited.

(d) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with 
the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision 
maker.  The  chief  operating  decision  maker  for  Beacon 
Lighting Group Limited and its controlled entities (the Group), 
is  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  (CEO).  The  Group  determines 
operating  segments  based  on  information  provided  to  the 
CEO in assessing performance and determining the allocation 
of  resources  within  the  Group.  Consideration  is  given  to  the 
manner  in  which  products  are  sold,  nature  of  the  products 
supplied,  the  organisational  structure  and  the  nature  of 
customers. 

Reportable segments are based on the aggregated operating 
segments  determined  by  the  manner  in  which  products  are 
sold,  similarity  of  products,  nature  of  the  products  supplied, 
the  nature  of  customers,  the  methods  used  to  distribute  the 
product and materiality. The Group purchases goods in USD 
for sales into Australia. The Group’s one reportable segment is 
the selling of light fittings, fans and energy efficient products.

(e) Foreign Currency Translation

(i) Functional and Presentation Currency

Items  included  in  the  financial  report  of  each  of  the  Group’s 
entities  are  measured  using  the  currency  of  the  primary 
economic  environment  in  which  the  entity  operates  (‘the 
functional  currency’).  The  consolidated  financial  report  is 
presented in Australian dollars, which is Beacon Lighting Group 
Limited’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional 
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the 
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from 
the  settlement  of  such  transactions  and  from  the  translation 
at  year  end  exchange  rates  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  recognised  in  profit  or 
loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash 
flow hedges.

(iii) Specific Commitments

Hedging is undertaken in order to avoid or minimise possible 
adverse  financial  effects  of  movements  in  exchange  rates. 
Gains  or  costs  arising  upon  entry  into  a  hedging  transaction 

intended to hedge the purchase or sale of goods and services, 
together  with  subsequent  exchange  gains  or  losses  resulting 
from  those  transactions  are  deferred  in  the  consolidated 
statement of comprehensive income from the inception of the 
hedging  transaction  up  to  the  date  of  the  purchase  or  sale 
and included in the measurement of the purchase or sale. Any 
gains  or  losses  arising  on  the  hedging  transaction  after  the 
recognition of the hedge purchase or sale are included in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In  the  case  of  hedges  of  monetary  items,  exchange  gains  or 
losses are brought to account in the financial period in which 
the exchange rates change.

(iv) Group Companies

The  results  and  financial  position  of  foreign  operations  (none 
of  which  has  the  currency  of  a  hyper  inflationary  economy) 
that have a functional currency different from the presentation 
currency  are  translated  into  the  presentation  currency  as 
follows: 

•  Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  balance  sheet  presented  are 
translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet.

•  Income  and  expenses  for  each  income  statement  and 
statement  of  comprehensive  income  are  translated  at 
average  exchange  rates  (unless  this  is  not  a  reasonable 
approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing 
on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses 
are translated at the dates of the transactions).

•  All  resulting  exchange  differences  are  recognised  in  other 

comprehensive income.

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the 
translation  of  any  net  investment  in  foreign  entities,  and 
of  borrowings  and  other  financial  instruments  designated 
as  hedges  of  such  investments,  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive  income.  When  a  foreign  operation  is  sold  or 
any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, 
the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or 
loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition 
of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the 
foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

(f) Revenue Recognition

Revenue

The Group operates a chain of retail stores and sells a range of 
lighting products direct to customers. Revenue from the sale of 
goods is recognised when a Group entity sells a product to the 
customer at which point the control of products is transferred. 
Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the 
customer purchases the lighting products and takes control of 
the products. It is the Group’s policy to sell its products to the

liability and a right to the returned goods is not material for the 
products expected to be returned. 

are  offset  where  the  entity  has  a  legally  enforceable  right  to 
offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise 
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The  Group’s  obligation  to  repair  or  replace  faulty  products 
under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision, 
see Note 19.

The revenue relating to the sale of solar systems is recognised 
upon contractual milestones and / or practical completion.

Interest Income 

Interest  income  is  recognised  using  the  effective  interest 
method.  When  a  receivable  is  impaired,  the  Group  reduces 
the  carrying  amount  to  its  recoverable  amount,  being  the 
estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective 
interest  rate  of  the  instrument,  and  continues  unwinding  the 
discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans 
is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

Deferred  tax  liabilities  and  assets  are  not  recognised  for 
temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amount  and  tax 
bases  of  investments  in  foreign  operations  where  the  Group 
is  able  to  control  the  timing  of  the  reversal  of  the  temporary 
differences  and  it  is  probable  that  the  differences  will  not 
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Current  and  deferred  tax  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss, 
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax 
is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in 
equity, respectively.

Beacon Lighting Group Limited and its wholly-owned Australian 
controlled entities have not implemented the tax consolidation 
legislation.

Franchise Royalty Fee Income

(h) Leases

Franchise royalty fee income includes advertising contributions 
and  management  fee,  which  is  based  upon  a  percentage  
of sales.

(g) Income Tax

The  income  tax  expense  or  revenue  for  the  period  is  the  tax 
payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 
applicable  income  tax  rate  for  each  jurisdiction  adjusted  by 
changes  in  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  attributable  to 
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary 
differences at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets 
are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates 
which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction. 
The  relevant  tax  rates  are  applied  to  the  cumulative  amounts 
of  deductible  and  taxable  temporary  differences  to  measure 
the  deferred  tax  asset  or  liability.  An  exception  is  made  for 
certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition 
of  an  asset  or  a  liability.  No  deferred  tax  asset  or  liability  is 
recognised  in  relation  to  these  temporary  differences  if  they 
arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that 
at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting 
profit or taxable profit or loss.

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

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  there  is  a 
legally  enforceable  right  to  offset  current  tax  assets  and 
liabilities  and  when  the  deferred  tax  balances  related  to  the 
same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities

As explained in Note 1(a)(i) above, the Group has changed its 
accounting policy for leases where the Group is the lessee. The 
new policy is described below and the impact of the change in 
Note 2.

The  Group  leases  various  offices,  warehouses  and  retail 
stores.  Rental  contracts  are  typically  made  for  fixed  periods 
of 7 to 14 years but may have extension options as described 
below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and 
contain  a  wide  range  of  different  terms  and  conditions.  The 
lease  agreements  do  not  impose  any  covenants,  but  leased 
assets  may  not  be  used  as  security  for  borrowing  purposes. 
Until the period ended 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant 
and  equipment  were  classified  as  either  finance  or  operating 
leases.  Payments  made  under  operating  leases  (net  of  any 
incentives  received  from  the  lessor)  were  charged  to  profit 
or  loss  on  a  straight  -line  basis  over  the  period  of  the  lease. 
From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset 
and  a  corresponding  liability  at  the  date  at  which  the  leased 
asset  is  available  for  use  by  the  Group.  Each  lease  payment 
is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance 
cost  is  charged  to  profit  or  loss  over  the  lease  period  to 
produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset 
is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the 
lease term on a straight-line basis.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured 
on  a  present  value  basis.  Lease  liabilities  include  the  net 
present value of the following lease payments: 

•  Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less 

any lease incentives receivable.

• Variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate.

37

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
•  Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual 

value guarantees. 

•  The  exercise  price  of  a  purchase  option  if  the  lessee  is 

leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-
value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office 
furniture

reasonably certain to exercise that option, and 

Extension and termination options 

•  Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease 

term reflects the lessee exercising that option. 

The  lease  payments  are  discounted  using  the  interest  rate 
implicit  in  the  lease.  If  that  rate  cannot  be  determined,  the 
lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that 
the  lessee  would  have  to  pay  to  borrow  the  funds  necessary 
to  obtain  an  asset  of  similar  value  in  a  similar  economic 
environment with similar terms and conditions. 

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:

•  Where  possible,  uses  recent  third-party  financing  received 
as  a  starting  point,  adjusted  to  reflect  changes  in  financing 
conditions since third party financing was received.

•  Uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest 
rate  adjusted  for  credit  risk  for  leases  held  by  the  Group, 
which does not have recent third party financing, and 

•  The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable 
lease  payments  based  on  an  index  or  rate,  which  are  not 
included  in  the  lease  liability  until  they  take  effect.  When 
adjustments  to  lease  payments  based  on  an  index  or  rate 
take  effect,  the  lease  liability  is  reassessed  and  adjusted 
against the right-of-use asset. Lease payments are allocated 
between  principal  and  finance  cost.  The  finance  cost 
is  charged  to  profit  or  loss  over  the  lease  period  so  as  to 
produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining 
balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use  assets  are  measured  at  cost  comprising  the 
following: 

• The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. 

•  Any lease payments made at or before the commencement 

date less any lease incentives received. 

• Any initial direct costs, and 

• Restoration costs. 

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter 
of  the  asset's  useful  life  and  the  lease  term  on  a  straight-
line  basis.  If  the  Group  is  reasonably  certain  to  exercise  a 
purchase  option,  the  right-of-use  asset  is  depreciated  over 
the underlying asset’s useful life. While the Group revalues its 
land  and  buildings  that  are  presented  within  property,  plant 
and equipment, it has chosen not to do so for the right-of-use 
buildings held by the Group.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and 
vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on 
a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term 

Extension  and  termination  options  are  included  in  a  number 
of  property  and  equipment  leases  across  the  Group.  These 
terms  are  used  to  maximise  operational  flexibility  in  terms  of 
managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination 
options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the 
respective lessor. 

Until  1  July  2019,  leases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment 
where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership were classified as finance leases. Finance 
leases and hire purchase arrangements were capitalised at the 
lease’s  inception  at  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  property  or,  if 
lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The 
corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, were 
included  in  other  short-term  and  long-term  payables.  Each 
lease  payment  is  allocated  between  the  liability  and  finance 
cost. The finance cost was charged to profit or loss over the 
lease  period  so  as  to  produce  a  constant  periodic  rate  of 
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 
The  property,  plant  and  equipment  acquired  under  finance 
leases is depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

Until  1  July  2019,  leases  in  which  a  significant  portion  of  the 
risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  were  not  transferred  to  the 
Group as lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments 
made  under  operating  leases  (net  of  any  incentives  received 
from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 
basis over the period of the lease.

(i) Business Combinations

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account 
for  all  business  combinations,  regardless  of  whether  equity 
instruments  or  other  assets  are  acquired.  The  consideration 
transferred  for  the  acquisition  of  a  subsidiary  comprises  the 
fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and 
the  equity  interests  issued  by  the  Group.  The  consideration 
transferred also includes the fair value of any asset or liability 
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and the 
fair  value  of  any  pre-existing  equity  interest  in  the  subsidiary. 
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable 
assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed 
in  a  business  combination  are,  with  limited  exceptions, 
measured  initially  at  their  fair  values  at  the  acquisition-date. 
On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises 
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value 
or  at  the  non-controlling  interest’s  proportionate  share  of  the 
acquiree’s net identifiable assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of 
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of 

38

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2020 and the 53 weeks ended 30 June 2019. Beacon Lighting Group and its controlled entities.BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2020the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If 
those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable 
assets  of  the  subsidiary  acquired  and  the  measurement  of 
all  amounts  has  been  reviewed,  the  difference  is  recognised 
directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, 
the  amounts  payable  in  the  future  are  discounted  to  their 
present  value  as  at  the  date  of  exchange.  The  discount  rate 
used  is  the  entity’s  incremental  borrowing  rate,  being  the 
rate  at  which  a  similar  borrowing  could  be  obtained  from  an 
independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent  consideration  is  classified  either  as  equity  or  a 
financial  liability.  Amounts  classified  as  a  financial  liability  are 
subsequently  remeasured  to  fair  value  with  changes  in  fair 
value recognised in profit or loss.

If  the  business  combination  is  achieved  in  stages,  the 
acquisition  date  carrying  value  of  the  acquirer's  previously 
held  equity  interest  in  the  acquire  is  remeasured  to  fair  value 
at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such 
remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

(j) Impairment of Assets

Goodwill  and  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful 
life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested  annually 
for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances  indicate  that  they  might  be  impaired.  Other 
assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes 
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be 
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount 
by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable 
amount.  The  recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset’s 
fair  value  less  cost  of  disposal  and  value-in-use.  For  the 
purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the 
lowest  levels  for  which  there  are  separately  identifiable  cash 
inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from 
other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-
financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment 
are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end 
of each reporting period.

(k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

(l) Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods 
sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 
They are generally due for settlement between 30 and 60 days 
from end of month and therefore are all classified as current. 
Trade  receivables  are  recognised  initially  at  the  amount 
of  consideration  that  is  unconditional  unless  they  contain 
significant  financing  components,  when  they  are  recognised 
at  fair  value.  The  Group  holds  the  trade  receivables  with  the 
objective  to  collect  the  contractual  cash  flows  and  therefore 
measures  them  subsequently  at  amortised  cost  using  the 
effective  interest  method.  The  Group  applies  the  AASB  9 
simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which 
uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. 
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have 
been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and 
the days past due.

(m) Inventories

Finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable 
value.

Cost comprises direct materials, and an appropriate proportion 
of variable and fixed overhead expenditure.

Costs  are  assigned  to  individual  items  of  inventory  on  the 
basis  of  weighted  average  costs.  Net  realisable  value  is  the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less 
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(n) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivatives  are  initially  recognised  at  fair  value  on  the  date 
a  derivative  contract  is  entered  into  and  are  subsequently 
remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each  reporting  date.  The 
accounting  for  subsequent  changes  in  fair  value  depends  on 
whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, 
and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.  At inception of 
the  hedge  relationship,  the  Group  documents  the  economic 
relationship  between  hedging  instruments  and  hedged  items 
including  whether  changes  in  the  cash  flows  of  the  hedging 
instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows 
of hedged items. The Group documents its risk management 
objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. 

Fair  value  is  determined  with  reference  to  quoted  market 
prices.  The  full  fair  value  of  a  hedging  derivative  is  classified 
as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity 
of the hedged item is more than 12 months; it is classified as 
a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the 
hedged item is less than 12 months. The method of recognising 
the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is 
designated and effective as a hedging instrument, and if so, the 
nature of the item being hedged.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
Cash Flow Hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives 
that  are  designated  and  qualify  as  cash  flow  hedges  is 
recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated 
in  the  hedging  reserve  in  equity.  The  gain  or  loss  relating  to 
the  ineffective  portion  is  recognised  in  the  income  statement 
in  other  income  or  other  expenses.  Amounts  accumulated 
in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when 
the  hedged  item  affects  profit  or  loss  (for  instance,  when  the 
forecast purchase of inventory that is hedged takes place).

The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate 
swaps  hedging  variable  rate  borrowings  is  recognised  in  the 
income statement within finance costs. The gain or loss relating 
to the effective portion of forward foreign exchange contracts 
which  hedge  imported  inventory  purchases  are  ultimately 
recognised in the profit or loss as cost of goods sold.

to  hedge 

forward  contracts  are  used 

When 
forecast 
transactions, the Group generally designates only the change 
in  fair  value  of  the  forward  contract  related  to  the  spot 
component as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating 
to the effective portion of the change in the spot component of 
the  forward  contracts  are  recognised  in  the  cash  flow  hedge 
reserve  within  equity.  The  change  in  the  forward  element  of 
the contract that relates to the hedged item (‘aligned forward 
element’)  is  recognised  within  Other  Comprehensive  Income 
(OCI)  within the cash flow hedge reserve. In some cases, the 
entity may designate the full change in fair value of the forward 
contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. 
In  such  cases,  the  gains  or  losses  relating  to  the  effective 
portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract 
are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity.

When  a  hedging  instrument  expires  or  is  sold  or  terminated, 
or  when  a  hedge  no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge 
accounting,  any  cumulative  gain  or  loss  existing  in  equity  at 
that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast 
transaction  is  ultimately  recognised  in  the  income  statement. 
When  a  forecast  transaction  is  no  longer  expected  to  occur, 
the  cumulative  gain  or  loss  that  was  reported  in  equity  is 
immediately transferred to the income statement.

(o) Property, Plant and Equipment

All  plant  and  equipment  is  stated  at  historical  cost  less 
depreciation.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is 
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount 
or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when 
it  is  probable  that  future  economic  benefits  associated  with 
the  item  will  flow  to  the  Group  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can 
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component 
accounted  for  as  a  separate  asset  is  derecognised  when 
replaced.  All  other  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to 

40

profit  or  loss  during  the  reporting  period  in  which  they  are 
incurred. 

Depreciation  is  calculated  using  the  straight-line  method  to 
allocate  their  cost  or  revalued  amounts,  net  of  their  residual 
values,  over  their  estimated  useful  lives  or,  in  the  case  of 
leasehold 
leased  plant  and 
equipment, the shorter lease term as follows: 

improvements  and  certain 

• Furniture, Fittings & Equipment 4 to 20 years. 

• Motor vehicles 5 to 8 years.

• Buildings 40 years.

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

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

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

(p) Intangible Assets

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  the  cost  of  an  acquisition 
over the fair value of the Group’s  share of the net identifiable 
assets  of  the  acquired  subsidiary  at  the  date  of  acquisition. 
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible 
assets.  Goodwill  is  not  amortised.  Instead,  goodwill  is  tested 
for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes 
in  circumstances  indicate  that  it  might  be  impaired  and  is 
carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and 
losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount 
of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose 
of impairment testing.

(ii) Patents, Trademarks and Other Rights

Patents,  Trademarks  and  Other  Rights  have  a  finite  useful 
life  and  are  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated  amortisation. 
Amortisation  is  calculated  using  the  straight-line  method  to 
allocate  the  cost  of  the  patents,  trademarks  and  other  rights 
over their useful life of 25 years.

(q) Trade and Other Payables

These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and  services 
provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which 
are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid 
within 30 days of recognition.

Trade  and  other  payables  are  presented  as  current  liabilities 
unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting 
period.  They  are  recognised  initially  at  their  fair  value  and 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2020 and the 53 weeks ended 30 June 2019. Beacon Lighting Group and its controlled entities.BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2020(r) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction 
costs  incurred.  Borrowings  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of 
transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the 
period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. 

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 period.

(s) Provisions

for 

legal  claims  and  product  warranties  are 
Provisions 
recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive 
obligation  as  a  result  of  past  events,  it  is  probable  that  an 
outflow  of  resources  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation 
and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not 
recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood 
that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by 
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is 
recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to 
any one item included in the same class of obligations may be 
small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s 
best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present 
obligation at the end of the reporting period. 

(t) Employee Benefits

(i) Short-Term Obligations

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary 
benefits  that  are  expected  to  be  settled  wholly  within  12 
months  after  the  end  of  the  period  in  which  the  employees 
render  the  related  service  are  recognised  in  respect  of 
employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and 
are  measured  at  the  amounts  expected  to  be  paid  when  the 
liabilities  are  settled.  The  liabilities  are  presented  as  current 
employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.

(ii) Other Long-Term Employee Benefit Obligations

The  liabilities  for  long  service  leave  and  annual  leave  are  not 
expected  to  be  settled  wholly  within  12  months  after  the 
end  of  the  period  in  which  the  employees  render  the  related 
service.  They  are  therefore  recognised  in  the  provision  for 
employee  benefits  and  measured  as  the  present  value  of 
expected  future  payments  to  be  made  in  respect  of  services 
provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period 
using  the  projected  unit  credit  method.  Consideration  is 
given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience 
of  employee  departures  and  periods  of  service.  Expected 
future payments are discounted using market yields at the end 
of  the  reporting  period  of  government  bonds  with  terms  and  

currencies  that  match,  as  closely  as  possible,  the  estimated 
future cash outflows.

Re-measurements  as  a  result  of  experience  adjustments  and 
changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance 
sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, 
regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.

(iii) Share Based Payments

Share based compensation benefits are provided to employees 
via the Beacon Lighting Short Term Incentive Plan. Information 
relating to this scheme is set out in the Remuneration Report 
and Note 27. The fair value of performance rights and options 
granted under the plan are recognised as an employee benefit 
expense over the period during which the employees become 
unconditionally  entitled  to  the  rights  with  a  corresponding 
increase  in  equity.  The  total  amount  to  be  expensed  is 
determined by reference to the fair value of the rights granted, 
which  includes  any  market  performance  conditions  and  the 
impact of any non-vesting conditions but excludes the impact 
of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions. 
Non-market  vesting  conditions  are  included  in  assumptions 
about  the  number  of  rights  that  are  expected  to  vest  which 
are  revised  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period.  The  impact 
of  the  revision  to  original  estimates,  if  any;  is  recognised  in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, with a 
corresponding adjustment to equity.

The  fair  value  is  measured  at  grant  date  and  the  expense 
recognised over the life of the plan. The fair value is determined 
using  a  Black-Scholes  pricing  model  that  takes  into  account 
the exercise price, the term of the right, the impact of dilution, 
the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free 
interest rate for the term of the rights.

(u) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues,  expenses  and  assets  are  recognised  net  of  the 
amount  of  associated  GST,  unless  the  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority.  In  this  case  it  is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as 
part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of 
GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other 
receivables or payables in the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash  flows  are  presented  on  a  gross  basis.  The  GST 
components  of  cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation 
authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Provision  is  made  for  the  amount  of  any  dividends  declared, 
determined  or  publicly  recommended  by  the  Directors  on  or 
before  the  end  of  the  financial  period  but  not  distributed  at 
balance date.

(x) Contributed Equity

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

(y) Earnings Per Share

(i) Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic  earnings  per  share  is  determined  by  dividing  net  profit 
after  income  tax  attributable  to  members  of  the  Group, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than  ordinary 
shares,  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares 
outstanding  during  the  financial  period,  adjusted  for  bonus 
elements  in  ordinary  shares  issued  during  the  period  and 
excluding treasury shares.

(ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted  earnings  per  share  adjusts  the  figure  used  in  the 
determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 
the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs 
associated  with  dilutive  potential  ordinary  shares  (including 
performance  rights)  and  the  weighted  average  number  of 
shares  assumed  to  have  been  issued  for  no  consideration  in 
relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(z) Rounding Amounts

The Group has relied on the relief provided by ASIC Corporations 
Instrument 2016/191, and in accordance with that Instrument, 
amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off to 
the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest 
dollar.

(aa) Parent Entity Financial Information

The financial information for the parent entity, Beacon Lighting 
Group Limited, disclosed in Note 37 has been prepared on the 
same basis as the consolidated financial report, except as set 
out below.

(a) AASB 16 Leases

As  indicated  in  Note  1(a)(i),  the  Group  has  adopted  AASB  16 
Leases  retrospectively  from  1  July  2019  but  has  not  restated 
comparatives  for  the  2019  reporting  period,  as  permitted 
under  the  specific  transition  provisions  in  the  standard.  The 
reclassifications  and  the  adjustments  arising  from  the  new 
leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening balance 
sheet  on  1  July  2019.  The  new  accounting  policies  are 
disclosed in Note 1(h). 

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities 
in  relation  to  leases  which  had  previously  been  classified  as 
‘operating  leases’  under  the  principles  of  AASB  117  Leases. 
These  liabilities  were  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
remaining  lease  payments,  discounted  using  the  lessee’s 
incremental borrowing rate as of 1 July 2019.

(b) Adjustments recognised on adoption of AASB 16 

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities 
in  relation  to  leases  which  had  previously  been  classified  as 
‘operating  leases’  under  the  principles  of  AASB117  Leases. 
These  liabilities  were  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the 
remaining  lease  payments,  discounted  using  the  lessee’s 
incremental  borrowing  rate  as  of  1  July  2019.  The  weighted 
average  lessee’s  incremental  borrowing  rate  applied  to  the 
lease liabilities on 1 July 2019 was 3.631%.

For  leases  previously  classified  as  finance  leases  the  entity 
recognised the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease 
liability  immediately  before  transition  as  the  carrying  amount 
of  the  right  of  use  asset  and  the  lease  liability  at  the  date  of 
initial application. The measurement principles of AASB 16 are 
only applied after that date. The re-measurements to the lease 
liabilities were recognised as adjustments to the related right-
of-use assets immediately after the date of initial application.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSPractical expedients applied 

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has used the 
following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

•  The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with 

reasonably similar characteristics.

•  Reliance  on  previous  assessments  on  whether  leases  are 

onerous.

•  The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the 

right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and

•  The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the 
contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

The  Group  has  also  elected  not  to  reassess  whether  a 
contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. 
Instead,  for  contracts  entered  into  before  the  transition  date 
the Group relied on its assessment made applying AASB 117 
and  Interpretation  for  determining  whether  an  arrangement 
contains a Lease.

Critical judgements in determining the lease term 

In  determining  the  lease  term,  management  considers  all 
facts  and  circumstances  that  create  an  economic  incentive 
to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination 
option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) 
are  only  included  in  the  lease  term  if  the  lease  is  reasonably 
certain  to  be  extended  (or  not  terminated).  The  assessment 
is  reviewed  if  a  significant  event  or  a  significant  change  in 
circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that 
is within the control of the lessee.

factors 

including  historical 

The  Group  considers 
lease 
durations  and  the  costs  and  business  disruption  required  to 
replace the leased asset. As at 28 June 2020, potential future 
cash outflows of $113,368,000 (undiscounted) have not been 
included in the lease liability because it is not reasonably certain 
that the leases will be extended (or not terminated). 

The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised 
(or  not  exercised)  or  the  Group  becomes  obliged  to  exercise 
(or  not  exercise)  it.  The  assessment  of  reasonable  certainty 
is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in 
circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that 
is within the control of the lessee. During the current financial 
year,  the  financial  effect  of  revising  lease  terms  to  reflect  the 
effect of exercising extension and termination options was an 
increase in recognised lease liabilities and right-of-use assets 
of $12,396,000.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The consolidated entity is exposed to a variety of financial risks 
comprising:

a) Market risk

b) Credit risk and

c) Liquidity risk

Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the 
Chief Executive Officer.

The  Group’s  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks: 
market  risk  (including  foreign  currency  risk),  credit  risk  and 
liquidity  risk.  The  Group’s  overall  risk  management  program 
focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to 
minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance 
of the Group. The Group uses derivative financial instruments 
such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to 
hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used 
for  hedging  purposes,  i.e.  not  as  trading  or  other  speculative 
instruments.  The  Group  uses  different  methods  to  measure 
different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods 
include sensitivity analysis in the case of foreign exchange risks 
and aging analysis for credit risk.

(a) Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with 
respect to the USD.

Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  when  future  commercial  transactions  and  recognised  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow 
forecasting.

The Group hedges its foreign exchange risk exposure arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities 
using forward contracts. The Group has a policy of hedging 100% of the Group’s inventory has been purchased in USD and sold in 
AUD. The Group can also lock in a forward position for this foreign exchange exposure for a period of up to 12 months.

At 28 June 2020 the average term of outstanding foreign exchange contracts is two months with an average forward rate for AUD/
USD of 0.6683.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSInterest Rate Risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest 
rate risk. The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. 

Interest rate swaps currently in place cover approximately 61% (2019: 38%) of the variable loan principal outstanding. The fixed interest 
rate of the swaps used to hedge are 2.28% and 2.47% (2019: 2.28% and 2.47%) and the variable rates of the loans are between 0.14% 
and 1.90% (2019: 1.17% and 1.90%).

The swap contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable every 30 days. The settlement dates coincide with the 
dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in AUD is per below:

At 28 June 2020, 60.7% (2019: 55.3%) of Beacon Lighting Group’s short term borrowings are hedged using forward exchange contracts 
and interest rate swaps. The sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from USD denominated financial 
instruments  and  the  impact  on  other  components  of  equity  arises  from  foreign  forward  exchange  contracts  designated  as  cash  
flow hedges.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(b) Credit Risk

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, favorable derivative financial instruments 
and  deposits  with  banks  as  well  as  credit  exposures  to  wholesale  and  retail  customers,  including  outstanding  receivables  and 
committed  transactions.  Individual  credit  limits  are  set  based  on  internal  or  external  ratings  in  accordance  with  limits  set  by  the 
Board. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale and retail customers is regularly monitored by line management. Sales to retail 
customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk. There are no significant concentrations 
of credit risk, whether through exposure to individual customers, specific industry sectors and/or regions.

An analysis of trade receivables is disclosed in Note 10.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(d)  Fair Value Measurements

For information about the methods and assumptions used in determining the fair value of derivatives please refer to Note 12.

Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);

b)  Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or 

indirectly (level 2); and

c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognised at fair value at 28 
June 2020, on a recurring basis.

At 28 June 2020

Derivatives used for hedging - Net Position

Level 2 
$’000

(855)

Total 
$’000

(855)

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

All of the resulting fair value adjustments are included in level 2 and the adjustments are all based on valuations provided by third party 
banking institutions. There has been no change in valuation techniques during the period.

There are no financial assets and liabilities in Level 1 and Level 3, and there are no transfers between the levels.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. 
The chief operating decision maker for Beacon Lighting Group Limited and its controlled entities (the Group), is the Chief Executive 
Officer (CEO). The Group determines operating segments based on information provided to the CEO in assessing performance and 
determining the allocation of resources within the Group. Consideration is given to the manner in which products are sold, nature of 
the products supplied, the organisational structure and the nature of customers. 

Reportable  segments  are  based  on  the  aggregated  operating  segments  determined  by  the  manner  in  which  products  are  sold, 
similarity  of  products,  nature  of  the  products  supplied,  the  nature  of  customers,  the  methods  used  to  distribute  the  product  and 
materiality. The Group purchases goods in USD for sales into Australia. The Group’s one reportable segment is the selling of light 
fittings, fans and energy efficient products.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing with terms that vary between 30 and 60 days end of month. The Group applies the AASB 
9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To 
measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days 
past due. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 28 June 2020 or 30 June 
2019 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted 
to  reflect  current  and  forward  looking  information  on  macroeconomic  factors  affecting  the  ability  of  the  customers  to  settle  the 
receivables.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at 28 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 (on adoption of AASB 9) was determined as follows for both 
trade receivables:

Trade  receivables  are  written  off  when  there  is  no  reasonable  expectation  of  recovery.  Indicators  that  there  is  no  reasonable  
expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure 
to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented  
as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the 
same line item.

55

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(c) Other Debtors

These  amounts  generally  arise  from  transactions  outside  the  usual  operating  activities  of  the  Group.  Interest  may  be  charged  at 
commercial rates where the terms of repayment exceed six months. Collateral is not normally obtained.

Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Risk

Information  about  the  Group’s  exposure  to  foreign  currency  risk  and  interest  rate  risk  in  relation  to  trade  and  other  receivables  is 
provided in Note 3.

Fair Value and Credit Risk

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of receivables mentioned 
above. Refer to Note 3 for more information on the risk management policy of the Group and the credit quality of the entity’s trade 
receivables.

The Group’s risk exposures are provided in Note 3.

Forward Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps– Cash Flow Hedges

The Group purchases products in USD. In order to protect against exchange rate movements, the Group has entered into forward 
exchange contracts to purchase USD and an interest rate swap to hedge against interest rate fluctuations.

These contracts are hedging highly probable forecasted purchases for the ensuing financial year. The contracts are timed to mature 
when payments for major purchases of inventory are scheduled to be made.

The  portion  of  the  gain  or  loss  on  the  hedging  instrument  that  is  determined  to  be  an  effective  hedge  is  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive income. When the cash flows occur, the Group adjusts the initial measurement of the component recognised in the 
balance sheet by removing the related amount from other comprehensive income.

During the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2020 there were no gains or losses (2019: nil) recognised in profit or loss for the ineffective portion 
of these hedging contracts.

Hedge ineffectiveness 

Hedge  effectiveness  is  determined  at  the  inception  of  the  hedge  relationship  and  through  periodic  prospective  effectiveness 
assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. For hedges of foreign 
currency purchases, the Group enters into hedge relationships where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with 
the terms of the hedged item. The Group therefore performs a qualitative assessment of effectiveness. If changes in circumstances 
affect the terms of the hedged item such that the critical terms no longer match exactly with the critical terms of the hedging instrument, 
the Group uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness. In hedges of foreign currency purchases, ineffectiveness 
may arise if the timing of the forecast transaction changes from what was originally estimated, or if there are changes in the credit risk 
of Australia or the derivative counterparty. 

The Group enters into interest rate swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, 
payment dates, maturities and notional amount. Hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps is assessed using the same principles 
as for hedges of foreign currency purchases. It may occur due to: 

• The credit value/debit value adjustment on the interest rate swaps which is not matched by the loan, and 

• Differences in critical terms between the interest rate swaps and loans. 

There was no ineffectiveness during 2020 or 2019 in relation to the interest rate swaps.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(a) Impairment Tests for Goodwill

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s one cash generating unit being the selling of light fittings, fans and energy efficient products (refer 
Note 4).

The recoverable amount is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on 
financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.

Management determined gross margin based on past performance and its expectations for the future. The weighted average growth 
rates used are consistent with forecasts included in industry reports. Management has considered reasonably possible changes in 
the key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations, and has not identified any reasonably possible change that would cause a 
material impact in the carrying amount of the Group’s cash generating unit.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(a) Employee Benefits

The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave. For long service leave it covers 
all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are 
entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision is presented as current, since the Group 
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the Group 
does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months. The following 
amounts reflect leave that is not expected to be taken or paid within the next 12 months.

(b) Warranty Provision

The Group generally offers 12 months warranty on its products. Provision is made for estimated warranty claims in respect of products 
sold which are still under warranty at the end of the reporting period. These claims are expected to be settled in the next financial year. 
Management estimates the provision based on historical warranty claim information and any recent trends that may suggest claims 
could differ from historical amounts.

Factors that could impact the estimated claim information include the success of the Group’s product and quality initiatives, as well 
as parts and labor costs. If claim costs to differ by 10% from management’s estimates, the warranty provision would be an estimated 
$135,000 (2019: $145,000) higher or lower.

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Group in proportion to the number 
of and amounts paid on the shares held.

All shares carry one vote per share.

Ordinary shares have no par value and the Group does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.

Capital Risk Management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue 
to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost 
of capital.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt 
(borrowings less cash) divided by total equity.

The Robinson family has a 100% interest as the owner of the Derrimut Distribution Centre leased by Beacon Lighting on arms length 
commercial terms. The current rent is $1,098,528 per annum increasing by 3% annually. The lease expires in March 2021 with two 
further rights of renewal for periods of seven years each.  As at the date of this report, the property is subject to an exclusive due 
diligence arrangement for the sale of the property to a third party. If the sale transaction proceeds, Beacon will continue to lease the 
property under a restructured lease, the initial term of which will expire approximately 8 years after the settlement date, with one further 
option of seven years.

The Robinson family has a 100% interest as owner of the Heidelberg store leased by Beacon Lighting on arms length terms. The 
current rent is $183,019 per annum increasing by 3% annually. The lease expires in 2021 with one further right of renewal for a period 
of seven years.

The Robinson family has a 100% interest as owner of the Fyshwick store leased by Beacon Lighting on arms length terms. The current 
rent is $245,801 per annum increasing by 3% annually. The lease expires in 2024 with one further right of renewal for a period of

rent is $94,628 per annum increasing by CPI annually. The lease expired on 1 September 2019.

These disclosures are made due to Beacon Lighting having obtained, at the time of listing, a waiver from Listing Rule 10.1 permitting 
the lease arrangements described above continuing without shareholder approval conditional on disclosure being made in the Annual 
Report as set out here.

Ian Robinson has a 100% interest in Carbonetix Pty Ltd. Carbonetix Pty Ltd and Beacon Energy Solutions had an arms length working 
alliance. It is expected that the related transactions will reduce due to the closure of Beacon Energy Solutions.

As at 28 June 2020 Carbonetix Pty Ltd owed the Group $54,511 (2019: $64,916).

No provisions for doubtful debts have been raised in relation to any outstanding balances, and no expense has been recognised in 
respect of bad or doubtful debts due from related parties.

stores  closed  temporarily  to  instore  retail  customers  for  a  period  of  six  weeks.  As  an  integral  supplier  to  the  trade  and  residential 
construction  industry,  all  Beacon  Lighting  Melbourne  metropolitan  stores  (except  Springvale)  will  remain  open  to  provide  in-store 
services  to  trade  customers.    All  Beacon  Lighting  retail  customers  and  trade  customers  can  continue  shopping  online  and  avail 
themselves of home delivery and contact-free Click & Collect service.  This has no material effect on the financial statements for the

A fully franked dividend of $5,320,461 was declared on 19 August 2020.

Other than the above, there has been no other matter or circumstance that has occurred subsequent to period end that has significantly

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.    It  also  requires  management  to 
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

The areas that involves a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to 
estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong are detailed in Note 2 and 23. The Group has assessed the calculation of lease 
liabilities and warranty provision to be a critical accounting estimates.

BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2020  
Our audit approach 

An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an 
opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. 

Materiality 

Audit scope 

 

For the purpose of our audit we used overall Group 
materiality of $1.6 million, which represents 
approximately 5% of the Group’s profit before tax. 

  We applied this threshold, together with 

  Our audit focused on where the Group made 

subjective judgements; for example, significant 
accounting estimates involving assumptions and 
inherently uncertain future events. 

The Group sells lighting products to customers 
primarily in Australia.  The products are 
predominantly held at the Group’s warehouses and 
stores throughout Australia. The accounting 
processes are structured around a Group finance 
function at its corporate head office in Melbourne.  

qualitative considerations, to determine the scope 
of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of 
our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of 
misstatements on the financial report as a whole. 

 

  We chose Group profit before tax because, in our 
view, it is the benchmark against which the 
performance of the Group is most commonly 
measured.   

  We utilised a 5% threshold based on our 

professional judgement, noting it is within the 
range of commonly acceptable thresholds.  

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 for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do 
not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the 
Audit and Risk Committee.

Inventory management is a key business process for the 
Group. Inventory represents a significant asset on the 
consolidated balance sheet at $63.1m. The inventory is 
held at Group managed and third party distribution 
centres in Australia and overseas, within stores or in 
transit to those locations. 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable 
value. This valuation is determined net of a provision, 
which is applied where the Group believes there is risk 
that the costs incurred in buying and preparing 
inventory for sale will not be realised through sale.  
This provision is made by the Group throughout the 
period based on identified slow moving and obsolete 
inventory. 

We considered this a key audit matter due to the: 

●  financial significance of the inventory balance in the 

consolidated balance sheet. 

● 

● 

judgement required by the Group to determine 
which costs should be included in the value of 
inventory (i.e. capitalised). 

● 

judgement required to estimate future selling prices 
to determine the net realisable value of inventory on 
hand. 

We developed an understanding of the controls over 
inventory and assessed whether they were 
appropriately designed and were operating effectively 
throughout the period, to the extent relevant to our 
audit.   

We performed the following procedures, amongst 
others: 
●  Traced a sample of inventory items from the 

Group’s inventory listing back to original invoices 
and shipping documents.  

● 

●  Examined the type of supply chain costs 
capitalised in the cost of inventory.  
For a sample of inventory items, re-performed 
the system generated calculation of the weighted 
average cost of the individual inventory item.  
●  Re-performed a sample of inventory counts at 

selected locations that included attendance at the 
Group’s distribution centres in Melbourne and 
Brisbane and selected stores. 

●  Obtained confirmations from a sample of third 

parties regarding the existence of inventory held 
at third party locations. 
Inspected the sales price of a sample of inventory 
items sold during July 2020 to determine 
whether items sold below cost were included in 
the Group's inventory net realisable value 
provision. 

●  Examined the methodology applied by the Group 
to calculate the inventory obsolescence provision 
to assess whether it was consistent with the 
Group’s accounting policy. 

●  Evaluated the inventory obsolescence provision 
by considering the gross margins recognised by 
the Group and the inventory turnover ratio and 
ageing, and compared the provision to the 
provision recognised in the prior period.  

Adoption of new Australian Accounting 
Standard AASB 16 Leases and accounting for 
sale and leaseback transaction 
(Refer to note 2 and 23) 

On 1 July 2019, the Group adopted AASB 16 “Leases” 
and as a result applied a new lease accounting policy 
from that date. The new accounting policy and the      
disclosures relevant to the adoption of AASB 16 are 
included in notes 2 and 23. 

We performed the following procedures, amongst 
others: 

●  Developed an understanding of the relevant 
internal controls relating to identifying lease 
contracts and maintaining lease data 

●  Assessed the discount rate used in calculating lease 

liabilities by referencing it to the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate for a similar portfolio 
of properties.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

During the period the Group entered into a sale and 
leaseback transaction for the Group’s Brisbane 
distribution centre. This required the Group to assess 
the appropriate accounting treatment of the transaction 
in accordance with AASB 16. 

We considered this a key audit matter because:  
● 

of the financial significance of right of use assets 
and lease liabilities recognised 
there is judgement required by the Group in 
determining key assumptions including the 
discount rates, exercise of option clauses and 
lease terms  
this is the first period of application of AASB 16 
by the Group 
complexity involved in determining the amount of 
profit to be recognised in the sale and leaseback 
transaction in accordance with the requirements 
of AASB 16. 

● 

● 

● 

●  For a sample of leases,  

- 

- 

- 

agreed lease data in the Group’s lease 
management system to the underlying lease 
agreement and subsequent variations 

evaluated judgements and assumptions applied 
by the Group in the determination of lease 
terms, including extension and termination 
options, in the context of the requirements of 
AASB 16. 

recalculated the right of use asset and lease 
liability 

●  Compared the Group’s application of the 

transitional provisions and practical expedients to 
the requirements of AASB 16. 

●  Assessed the appropriateness of the accounting 

treatment of the sale and leaseback transaction per 
the requirements of AASB 16.      

●  Recomputed the amount of profit recognised from 
the sale of the distribution centre in accordance 
with the requirements of a sale and leaseback 
transaction under AASB 16. 

●  Recomputed the deferred tax impacts of the right of 
use assets and lease liabilities and compared them 
to the amounts included in the financial statements. 
●  Evaluated the adequacy of the lease disclosures and 

the revised accounting policies in light of the 
requirements of Australian Accounting Standards.

information included in the annual report for the period ended 28 June 2020, but does not include the 
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, 
our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other 
information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, 
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other 
information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing 
to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEACON LIGHTING GROUP LIMITED

financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability 
of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free 
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that

audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of 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:
