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.

efficient and technically advanced lighting and ceiling fan
products to our customers.

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.

senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment.

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.

training to all managers on how to recognise and deal with
breaches of the policy.

PRINCIPLE 6
Respect the Rights of Security Holders
The Group has adopted a Communications Policy governing
its approach to communicating with its shareholders, market
participants, customers, associates and other stakeholders.
• Its relationship with the external auditor.
This policy specifically includes:
In accordance with Recommendation 4.2 the Board, before
it approves the Group's statements for a financial period,

Chief Financial Officer a declaration that, in their opinion, the
financial records of the Group have been properly maintained
and that the financial statements comply with the appropriate
accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the
financial position and performance of the entity and that the

disclose the process used to verify the integrity of periodic
reports released to the market that are not audited or

public access to our announcements to the ASX, and general
information about Beacon Lighting and its business. It also
includes a section specifically dedicated to governance, which

BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2020 The format of general meetings aims to encourage shareholders

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

with Recommendation 6.4 raise questions of Directors on any
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

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.
16
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.

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.

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.
35
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.
39
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.

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.

(w) Dividends
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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:

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:
28 June 2020

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.

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) 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.

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
seven years.
The Robinson family has a 100% interest as owner of the Bendigo store leased by Beacon Lighting on arms length terms. The current
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.
(d) Outstanding Balances
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.

DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION 37. 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.
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.
87
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEACON LIGHTING GROUP LIMITED
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Existence and valuation of inventory
(Refer to note 11)
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.
88
BEACON LIGHTING GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2020
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

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.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
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
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the

fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability

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
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf. This description forms part of
our auditor's report.
