Ross Johnston
CHAIRMAN
For BSA Limited (BSA), 2014 presented a year
of challenges and opportunities. Whilst we have
experienced significant challenges in each of
our markets, and announced a number of write
downs and provisions in our results, we have
taken the opportunity to implement a number of
key changes, which are now bearing fruit. We are
seeing the business improve and we anticipate
further improvements in the coming months. This
expectation is bolstered by a healthy Technical
Design and Construction Projects (TDCP) Forward
Order Book of $250 million along with Technical
Maintenance Services (TMS) and Technical Field
Force Solutions (TFFS) ongoing annuity based
contracts of $250 million per annum.
BSA has built a strong forward
workload despite the underlying
market challenges.
Within the 2014 financial year, BSA appointed a new Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nicholas Yates, and a new
Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Nick Benson. The Board is confident
that this new, strengthened Executive team will be able to lead the
Group through the next phase of development.
Technical Field Force Solutions (TFFS) successfully mobilised the
extended Foxtel/Austar contract into regional areas of Australia and
has sourced additional business with Optus, via a three year contract
to provide further installation and maintenance services for this
long-standing customer of BSA’s heritage business.
Nicholas Yates has a wealth of construction and contracting
experience and has been charged with a mandate to assess all
business operations, improve operational review and controls,
identify areas across the Company where operating expenses can be
reduced and increase the focus on cross-business-unit and business
to business promotion.
Nick Benson is an experienced CFO, with a strong construction
and contracting background. Nick has initially been focused on
improving operational controls and processes, particularly across
contract management and financial areas of the business as well as
enhancing working capital management and reducing net debt.
A detailed review of our results is provided within the Managing
Director’s report; however the key highlights are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Revenue $492 million (2013: $474 million);
EBITDA $10.7 million loss (2013: $12.8 million profit);
Net loss after tax $54.8 million (2013: $3.8 million net profit);
Non-cash goodwill impairment $40.0 million (2013: nil);
Operating cash inflow $5.6 million (2013: $16.5 million outflow);
Basic loss per share of 23.97 cents (2013: earnings per share
of 1.64 cents);
Net debt reduced by $13.9 million in the second half, to
$18.8 million (2013: $20.5 million); and
•
Nil final dividend was declared.
It should be highlighted that our full year results are somewhat
skewed by the provisions and write downs taken primarily in the
first half and $40.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment in the
year. Detailed commentary of our second half results is outlined
within the Managing Director’s report.
Technical Design and Construction Projects (TDCP) has continued
works on a number of major projects, including the new Royal
Adelaide Hospital and the Charles Perkins Centre in Sydney. Whilst
the TDCP full year results have been affected by provisions and
write downs announced mainly in the first half, legacy contract
issues are now largely coming to an end and stronger project
commercial controls have been implemented.
Now in its third year as a stand-alone Business Unit, Technical
Maintenance Services (TMS) has been awarded a number of notable
maintenance contracts across the retail, education and health
markets, including Harvey Norman and Monash University.
BSA’s continued investment in workplace health and safety has been
rewarded with significant reductions in all reportable incidents
across the Group, and BSA continues to track towards best practice
in this key area.
The Board has resolved not to pay a final dividend for FY14. Our
decision to pay a dividend is made in every period and this will be
reviewed in FY15.
BSA has been fortunate to enjoy a strong relationship with our
financiers, and this has enabled us to navigate through issues
that have arisen throughout 2014. We look forward to this
continued support as BSA moves forward through our next period
of development.
I would like to thank my fellow Directors for their contribution to
BSA and for their support during the year.
Despite the considerable challenges faced throughout FY14, our
staff and Executive team have again shown their commitment to our
customers and shareholders. On behalf of the Board, thank you.

OPERATIONAL AND
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK
Despite the difficult conditions experienced across all of the
markets in which BSA operates, BSA’s revenue increased to $492
million (2013:$474 million), and the Group has managed to build
a strong forward workload in all Business Units for FY15 and
future years.
Although the revenue increased in the year, the loss before interest,
taxes, impairment, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was $10.7
million (2013: profit $12.8 million) and the net loss after tax for the
year was $54.8 million (2013: profit $3.8 million). This statutory loss
was predominantly due to the non-recurring provisions and project
profit reductions of $24.2 million taken during FY14, relating largely
to completed projects, as well as a non-cash goodwill impairment of
$40.0 million. EBITDA in H2 returned to profit of $3.1 million after
recognising further project provisions and write downs of $3.9 million
relating to projects tendered in prior periods.
Goodwill has been assessed based on value-in-use calculations,
using discounted future cash flows. In light of the performance of
the business over the last 24 months, and considering the current
market capitalisation of BSA, the Board has resolved to write down
the carrying value of goodwill in the three divisions of the business
by a total of $40.0 million. This impairment is non-cash and does not
affect the business fundamentals or the future improving and positive
outlook for FY15 and beyond.
We are pleased to report a reduction in net debt to $18.8 million
(2013: $20.5 million) which includes a second half net debt reduction
of $13.9 million. This significant improvement in cash management
resulted in net operating cash inflows of $5.6 million (2013: cash
outflows of $16.5 million) in the year.
As previously noted, BSA’s full year results for FY14 have been
affected by the write downs, non-recurring provisions and project
profit reductions announced largely as part of our first half results.
The positive results in H2 reflect immediate action taken by
management across all Business Units during the second half to
enhance margins and improve the net debt. Specifically, our second
half EBITDA result was $3.1 million profit (H1: $13.8 million loss)
after one off items of $3.9 million. Net operating cash inflows of
$16.1 million in H2 led to a reduction in net debt of $13.9 million
to $18.8 million in the six months from 31 December 2013.
Strategic operational improvements such as enhanced bid review
processes, embedding of contractual benchmarks, a tightening of
project and contract controls and review mechanisms, along with
on-going Group-wide efficiency and cost reduction initiatives will
continue into 2015 to ensure BSA’s results maintain their current
upward trend.
BSA has continued to enjoy the on-going support of our financiers,
and we have extended key banking facilities with an increased
capacity to match future working capital requirements. We have
extended our term debt facilities to 31 March 2016 and enhanced
flexibility within the current arrangements with the creation of a $17
million multi-option facility ($11 million at 30 June 2014). This facility
includes the previously announced overdraft facility which is on track
for repayment by December 2014.
The key operational improvements, net debt reduction and banking
arrangements outlined have been undertaken with an objective of
providing a stable platform for the future growth and development
for BSA Limited.
The Directors have not declared a final dividend for 2014.

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014
GROWTH
BSA enters FY15 with a strong Forward Order Book of $250 million
(TDCP) and committed annuity based contracts of $250 million
per annum (TMS and TFFS). To ensure we continue to build upon
this committed forward workload pipeline, we have strengthened
existing business development processes to add discipline and
rigour to our extensive market opportunities, including regular
formal marketing and business promotion sessions within each
Business Unit with an initial goal of further defining our target
market areas and identifying key customers and businesses within
those areas.
We have achieved a sound forward workload for Technical Design
and Construction Projects (TDCP) and portfolio diversification within
the business remains a priority. The business has continued to focus
on organic growth, extracting greater earnings, optimising working
capital, and strengthening project controls.
Technical Field Force Solutions extended its metropolitan contract
with Foxtel to 2017, and simultaneously gained a contract to
complete 100% of the regional work following Foxtel’s acquisition
of Austar. With this transition now complete, TFFS has turned its
attention to increasing work orders and platforms with existing
customers, and continuing research into new market opportunities.
Technical Maintenance Services (TMS) has emerged as one of
Australia’s leading Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) and
Fire services maintenance businesses, and is now a major provider
to Tier 1 customers such as Harvey Norman, Monash University and
CBRE. In a highly cost competitive market, this Business Unit has
focussed on differentiation through customer value adding benefits
such as online access to service control and asset management
systems, and we see these features as vital to future success and
client satisfaction.
NSW OFFICE OF STATE REVENUE (OSR)
BSA has previously advised the market about a possible payroll-tax
related liability with the NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR). BSA has
continued, along with our legal representatives, to constructively work
with the OSR to ensure an equitable and timely conclusion to this
matter. BSA has a provision in its FY14 accounts of $2.0 million (FY13
$2.0 million) and at this time there is no further information that
would suggest this provision should be changed.
HEALTH, SAFETY, SECURITY, ENVIRONMENT
AND QUALITY
BSA’s ongoing commitment to workplace health and safety has
delivered substantial improvements across all key indicators over the
last three years including a reduction of 48% in Lost Time Incident
Frequency Rate (LTIFR), a 50% reduction in Total Reportable Incident
Frequency Rate (TRIFR) and 78% reduction in our Lost Days Frequency
Rate (LDFR). BSA’s commitment to delivering robust improvement
programs provides a safer workplace for our people.
Underpinning the work, health and safety culture as well as
operational improvement programs has been the development and
implementation of the BSA Integrated Management System (IMS)
which has focused on enhancing consistency and compliance across
the Group. The IMS achieved third party accreditation for Safety,
Quality and Environment in March 2014.
BSA’s unwavering drive to ensure that our staff arrive home safely
every night will continue in FY15, and we look forward to seeing
further reductions across all of our key indicators in this vital field.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
During FY14, BSA, its subsidiaries and its employees, contributed
to a number of charity fundraisers including the Rural Fire Service,
Everyday Hero, Adopt a Family appeal, the South Newcastle Rugby
League Football Club “Sleepy’s Day” and the World’s Greatest Shave.
We also continued our longstanding partnership with Youngcare,
a not-for-profit foundation that provides age appropriate
accommodation to young Australians with high-care needs.
Youngcare assists young people to find supported accommodation
outside aged care and nursing home environments. The recent
construction of Youngcare’s new Sydney apartments (located in
Auburn) will deliver self-contained apartments for young people
with severe and profound disabilities.
GENDER DIVERSITY
BSA is committed to providing a workplace for all employees that
is free from discrimination, harassment and bullying. BSA provides
a working environment that promotes diversity and encourages all
employees to reach their potential.
BSA has a commitment to diversity that ensures the elimination
of discrimination against people based on gender, ethnic group,
political or religious affiliation or disabilities. The over-arching
principle applied at BSA is that the most suitable person for a job is
employed where there is an existing vacancy.

TECHNICAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS (TDCP)
Technical Design and Construction Projects
(TDCP), including Group Companies BSA, Allstaff
Airconditioning and Triple ‘M’, continue to be major
providers of heating, ventilation, air conditioning
(HVAC) and Fire Protection Services in all mainland
states and territories, despite operating in a sometimes
challenging market that has seen the failure of a
number of our competitors.
The TDCP EBITDA result was impacted by the take up of non-
recurring project provisions and write downs in the year. The projects
at the heart of these issues are largely completed, and enhanced
bid gate processes, embedding of corporate contractual benchmarks
along with additional project controls, strengthened project delivery
processes and formal reviews have been put in place in order to
protect the Business Unit from experiencing these issues in the future.
The 2014 financial year saw the resolution of a number of
outstanding claims for variations and modifications on existing TDCP
projects. As outlined above, corporate contractual benchmarks have
been embedded within the Business Unit. This ensures that any
contract that falls outside these benchmarks or standard clauses will
be subject to rigorous negotiation and risk mitigation strategies.
Our offering of a complete in-house facility for design, engineering,
fabrication, installation, commissioning and service, and our work
with specialist subcontractors, has allowed the Group to compete on
a wide variety of projects and has resulted in TDCP being awarded
some of the largest HVAC and Fire Protection contracts in Australia.
FY14 has seen the TDCP Business Unit undertake works on
landmark projects including:
•
•
•
New Royal Adelaide Hospital (completion due April 2016)
Indooroopilly Shopping Centre in Queensland (completed
July 2014)
Park Lane (mixed use residential and retail towers) in
Sydney (completed April 2014)
•
Charles Perkins Centre in Sydney (Mechanical and Fire)
(completed February 2014)
•
Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth (completed December 2013)
TDCP commences FY15 with a healthy forward order book of $250
million and have recently been awarded the following projects:
• Wagga Wagga Hospital
•
•
•
•
Dubbo Hospital
5 Martin Place in Sydney
Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital Stage 2 works
Eastland Shopping Centre in Melbourne
• Werribee Shopping Centre in Victoria
•
•
•
•
•
IKEA Marsden Park in Sydney
Pacific Fair Redevelopment on the Gold Coast
Old Treasury Building in Perth
Barangaroo in Sydney (Fire Services JV with Premier Fire)
Kings Square 2 and 3 in Perth
The new Royal Adelaide Hospital (nRAH) is Australia’s first fully
integrated 6D Building Information Modeling (BIM) project. The
BSA scope as the Tier One Mechanical Services Contractor includes
the documentation and construction of Mechanical, Infrastructure
and Essential Services, and being the lead BIM Coordinator for all
services within a BIM MEP Aus national standard environment.
The nRAH project has a number of significant and as yet unapproved
variations which are the subject of ongoing negotiations. They will
be submitted for payment in the normal course of carrying out the
subcontract. Despite this, work on nRAH is progressing well and the
working relationship is excellent.
With the Triple ‘M’ Companies celebrating 20 years in business
in 2014 and Allstaff achieving 40 years in Victoria in 2015, our
business model strategy has seen longevity and continued growth
within a diverse market. This can be directly attributed to our loyal
and dedicated workforce.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
The TFFS contact centre continue to
provide end-to-end services to our
field workforce, teams and customers.
TECHNICAL FIELD FORCE SOLUTIONS (TFFS)
The Technical Field Force Solutions Business Unit
had another successful year in 2014; completing
approximately 600,000 installations, upgrades
and service calls across Australia, as the Business
Unit continues to position itself as a leader in high
volume ticket of work order management.
TFFS had a positive EBITDA of $3.6 million which was affected by
$1.5 million mobilisation costs of key new contracts which extend to
2017. As reported in last year’s Annual Report, as a result of Foxtel’s
acquisition of Austar, and following a formal tender process, TFFS
was awarded a contract to complete 100% of all regional works
(along with an extension of our metropolitan works through to
2017). In November 2013, TFFS successfully completed its field work
force transition into regional Australia. This move has increased
the Business Unit’s footprint across Australia in its provision of
installation and maintenance services to Foxtel.
In December 2013, after 15 years, our long term relationship with
one of Australia’s largest telecommunications providers, Optus,
grew even stronger. TFFS was awarded a contract with Optus to
deliver Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC), Unconditioned Local Loop (ULL)
and National Broadband Network (NBN) Installation, Maintenance
and Service Assurance services for Consumer, Wholesale and Optus
Business customers for a term of 3 years.
In February 2014, TFFS successfully completed our contract with the
Department of Broadband, Communication and the Digital Economy
to provide services to convert customers under the Household
Assistance Scheme (HAS) and Satellite Subsidy Scheme (SSS) to
digital television. The HAS provided practical and technical in- home
assistance to vulnerable Australians who may otherwise have
difficulty converting to digital television.
BSA’s Registered Training Organisation, BSA Advanced Learning
(BAL), continues to grow, providing training to over 2,000 students
this financial year. A new General Manager with extensive education
organisation experience has been appointed to this expanding
business. Over the next 12 months, focus will shift to growing and
diversifying revenue streams for this business, with an emphasis on
online training courses.
BSA was represented by BAL on the Western Sydney Vocational
Training Committee and had the opportunity to provide a
representative to sit on selection panels for Apprentice and Trainee
of the Year for Western Sydney.
BAL Management has also assisted the Industry Skills Council in the
development of competencies in telecommunications, specifically
for NBN works and has participated in workshops conducted for the
amalgamation of the Telecommunications and IT Training Packages.
TFFS has invested significant time and resources into a number of
information technology (IT) development based initiatives, which
have resulted in improvements to operational efficiency. These
initiatives include:
•
•
•
Contracting Company On-Boarding/Compliance Portal
Optus Project Infinity System - to manage Optus
workflows and processes
Project Growth – to allow business efficiencies with
contracting companies
•

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES (TMS)
LOOKING FORWARD
Technical Maintenance Services increased revenue
by 9.7% to $98.5 million (2013: $89.8 million)
in 2014. This increase was achieved despite a
downturn of activity in our minor projects operations,
particularly in the resources sector.
TMS had a positive EBITDA of $3.1 million despite being affected by a
number of project write downs and provisions in FY14 of $1.5 million.
TMS has now completed these legacy projects and has strengthened
the controls and procedures around project management.
During FY14 TMS was awarded a number of contracts, including:
•
Harvey Norman National Multi-Services
• Monash University Maintenance Contracts
• Maintenance Services at Gold Coast University Hospital
On the back of these contract wins TMS has also been expanding our
national capabilities in both Fire and Electrical Maintenance Services.
Whilst our maintenance work bid pipeline is increasing, price
competition remains tight, so we have focused on improving value
adding solutions for our clients – which we see as key to the success
of future TMS bids. We have continued to enhance our mobility
systems by expanding features such as customer portal reporting,
detailed asset level reporting, real-time service records, dashboard
reporting, work order management and data capture from the field.
Customer feedback about our mobility systems is very positive
and this value-add solution provides TMS with a significant
market advantage.
IT system activities undertaken within 2014 include:
•
•
•
Automating and integrating between field technician and
customer systems, and BSA Accounting systems, which
has increased efficiencies by automating previously
manual processes
Integration of technician timesheets directly into BSA
Accounting systems
Transfer of service call allocation and asset management
information directly to and from technician iPads
•
Client driven customised call management integration
In response to the FY14 results, TMS management have
undertaken a full operational efficiency review. This review,
which covered all areas of the TMS Business Unit, aimed to refine
business processes, enhance productivity, increase the focus on
building a recurring revenue base, and expand services across
Fire and Electrical Maintenance markets. A range of initiatives
identified throughout this review have been undertaken and will
continue throughout 2015. These include initiatives to optimise
overhead structures, labour productivity, reduce travel time and
focus on less working capital intensive projects.
12
BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014
As the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer,
(appointed in March 2014), I have commenced a full review of all
operations for each Business Unit and our Corporate functions
with a focus on reducing operating expenses and increasing
operational efficiencies across the board. This in-depth Group-wide
process will cover all discretionary spend areas, office and facility
accommodation, head count and remuneration. It will also include
further development in areas where we can improve efficiency by
automating manual processes, refining reporting requirements and
optimising productivity.
Encouraging market conditions are leading to emerging untapped
opportunities across all market sectors. The BSA management team
are actioning plans to capitalise on Business Unit capabilities across
these sectors. In addition, a strong focus continues on improving
margins and optimising working capital and cashflows.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
Alignment to program participants’ interests:
This remuneration report details the nature and amount of
remuneration for each key management person of BSA Limited.
The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of
emoluments of Board members and Senior Executives of
the Company is as follows and is set out under the following
main headings:
•
•
•
•
Rewards capability and experience;
Reflects competitive reward for contribution to growth in
shareholder wealth;
Provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and
Provides recognition for contribution.
The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay as well
as a blend of short and long-term incentives. As executives gain
seniority within the Group, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher
proportion of at risk rewards.
The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration
Committee which provides advice on remuneration and incentive
policies and practices, as well as specific recommendations on
remuneration packages and other terms of employment for
Executive Directors, other Senior Executives and Non-Executive
Directors. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further
information on the role of this committee.
Non-Executive Directors
Fees and payments to Non-Executive Directors reflect the demands
which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. Non-
Executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed annually by
the Board. The Board has also considered the advice of independent
remuneration consultants to ensure Non-Executive Directors’ fees
and payments are appropriate and in line with the market.
The Chairman’s fees are determined independently to the fees
of Non-Executive Directors based on the Director’s experience and
comparative roles in the external market. The Chairman is
not present at any discussions relating to determination of his
own remuneration.

A
PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE
AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure
reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results
delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement
of strategic objectives, the creation of value for shareholders and
conforms to market practice for delivery of the reward. The Board
ensures that the executive reward satisfies the following key criteria
for good reward governance practices:
•
•
•
•
•
Competiveness and reasonableness;
Acceptability to shareholders;
Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation;
Transparency; and
Capital management
In consultation with external remuneration consultants, the Group
has structured an executive remuneration framework that is
market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of
the organisation.
Alignment to shareholders’ interests:
•
•
Has economic profit as a core component of plan design;
Focuses on sustained growth in shareholder wealth,
consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and
delivering constant return on assets as well as focusing the
executive on key non-financial drivers of value; and
•
Attracts and retains high calibre executives.
18 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Directors fees
Short-Term Incentives
The current base remuneration for Directors was last reviewed on
26 June 2012. Directors’ fees are inclusive of superannuation and
include the requirement to sit on two or more Board committees for
the duration of their tenure. A Director’s expected time commitment
is between five to ten hours per month. Directors are reimbursed
actual expenses or paid a per diem allowance for attendance at the
monthly meetings.
Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate
Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended
for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at
$600,000 per annum and was last approved by shareholders at the
Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 26 November 2007. The following
fees have applied:
Base fees including superannuation
Chairman
Other Non-Executive Directors
$158,325
$91,560
Retirement allowances for Directors
Non-Executive Directors do not participate in any share or option
incentive plan and there are no retirement schemes or retirement
benefits other than statutory benefits for Non-Executive Directors.
Executive Pay
Executive remuneration packages include a bonus based on a
combination of the Company achieving a pre-determined profit
target and the operational pre-determined target being met. Using
a profit target ensures variable reward is only available when value
has been created for shareholders and when profit is consistent with
the business plan.
Each executive with operational responsibilities has a short-term
incentive (STI) depending on the accountabilities of the role
and impact on organisation and business unit performance. The
maximum target bonus opportunity is 30% of base salary.
For the year ended 30 June 2014, the targets linked to the STI plans
were based on the group and individual business objectives. The
target achievement required performance in reducing operating
cost, increasing revenue and overall increase in EBITDA. The Group
targets are generic across the management team.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible
for assessing whether the targets are met. Targets are set at the
beginning of the year and are assessed semi-annually. Short-term
bonus payments are adjusted up or down in line with under or over
achievement against target performance levels. Because short-term
targets cover several operational areas of the business as well
as the overall company target, STI may be paid when operational
targets are achieved although the Company’s overall target may not
be met. The STI target annual payment is reviewed annually.
The executive pay and reward framework has three components:
Options
•
•
•
Base pay and benefits, including superannuation;
No options were exercised during the year ended 30 June 2014.
Short-term performance incentives; and
No amounts are unpaid on any shares issued on the exercise of options.
Long-term incentives through participation in the employee
share scheme, employee option plan and performance
rights plan.
All options have expired as at 30 June 2014.
Employee share scheme
The combination of these components comprises the executive’s
total remuneration.
Base Pay
Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which
may be delivered as a combination of cash and prescribed non-
financial benefits at the executives’ discretion.
Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the
fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for Senior Executives
is reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive
with the market and meets the responsibilities of the position.
An executive’s pay is also reviewed on promotion. There are no
guaranteed base pay increases included in the Senior Executive
terms of employment.
Benefits
Executives receive benefits including allowances.
Retirement benefits
All employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s default
superannuation fund. With the change in legislation as at 1
July 2005, employees can now exercise choice as to where their
superannuation is paid.
A scheme under which shares were issued by the Company to
employees for no cash consideration was ratified by shareholders
at the 2004 AGM. All permanent employees (including Executive
Directors) who were continuously employed by the consolidated
entity for a period of at least one year were eligible to participate in
the scheme. Employees could elect not to participate in the scheme.
Under the scheme, eligible employees were offered $1,000 worth
of fully-paid ordinary shares in BSA Limited in the Year Ended 30
June 2004 for no cash consideration. The market value of shares
issued under the scheme, measured as the weighted average
market price on the day of issue of the shares, was recognised in
the statement of financial position as share capital and as part of
employee benefit costs.
Offers under the scheme are at the discretion of the Company.
No offers were made to Directors of BSA Limited or other key
management personnel of the Group during the year ended 30
June 2014.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Executives Securities Loan
Employee Performance Rights Plan
The establishment of the BSA Executive Securities Plan was approved
by shareholders at the 2005 AGM. The plan was established as a
mechanism to provide the Company’s key executives with a direct
equity involvement and incentive in the Company which aligns them
with the shareholders.
The number of securities to be offered and the time at which securities
may be offered from time to time to executives, and the price and terms
of payment shall be determined by the Board in its discretion.
The Board may at such times as it determines invite any executive to be
a member of the plan.
If an executive to whom an invitation has been issued forwards to
the Company a duly completed Loan Application and the Transfer
Documents together with his acceptance, and where appropriate his
Application for Shares, then the Company shall, in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Agreement, lend to the executive such amount as the
executive has applied for in the Loan Application.
The maximum amount of any loan shall be the total subscription price
for the shares applied for.
No interest is payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement.
All shares are held in escrow until loans are fully repaid. An executive
shall not sell, mortgage, charge, assign or otherwise dispose of or
encumber any shares before payment or repayment of any amount
outstanding to the Company in respect thereof.
Subject to the above restriction and to the terms of the Loan
Agreement (if any) deemed to be entered into by the executive,
an executive shall from the Date of Allotment, be the absolute
beneficial owner of the shares.
Unless the Directors of the Company otherwise provide in the terms
of any invitation, all Plan Shares shall rank for dividends declared on
or after the Date of Allotment and shall in all respects rank equally
with and have the same rights and entitlements as all other fully paid
ordinary shares of the Company.
Offers under the scheme are at the discretion of the Company. No
offers were made to Directors of BSA Limited or other key management
personnel of the Group during the year ended 30 June 2014.
At the AGM held on 25 November 2008, shareholders approved the
introduction of the BSA Employee Performance Rights Plan.
This incentive plan is designed to increase the motivation of
eligible key staff and to create a stronger link between increasing
shareholder value and employee reward.
To achieve its corporate objectives, the Company needs to attract
and retain its key staff. The Board believes that awards made to
selected eligible employees under the proposed plan will:
•
•
•
•
•
Provide an incentive for the creation of, and focus on,
shareholder wealth;
Enable the Company to recruit and retain the talented people
needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives;
Link the reward of key staff with the achievement of
strategic goals and the performance of the Company;
Align the financial interests of participants in the plan with
those of Company shareholders; and
Ensure the remuneration packages of employees are
consistent with market practice.
As part of the Company’s strategy, the Board wishes to be in a position
to offer rights to acquire shares in the company to selected eligible
employees who, in the opinion of the Board, are able by virtue of their
skill and their application in performing their allocated tasks within
the Company to improve shareholder wealth.
The flexibility of the plan rules will enable the Board to design
grants that best meet the particular circumstances.
The Board is cognisant that long-term equity-based reward for key
staff should be linked to the achievement by the Company of testing
performance hurdles.
Rights granted to certain plan participants in each grant will be at
zero vesting value and will be subject to the following performance
conditions as determined by the Board:
(i)
Service condition of two to three years; or
(ii) The Company’s performance as measured by earnings per
share (EPS), being the EPS for the relevant Measurement
Period as determined by the Board having regard to the
financial statements. Certain growth in EPS for the shares
must be attained in respect of each Measurement Period
and pro-rata in respect of the initial Measurement Period
and service condition of three years.
The Company must achieve these performance conditions before the
rights vest.

Once rights have been exercised by an eligible employee (subject
to performance conditions being met), the Company may make non-
refundable contributions to either fund the purchase of a new plan
share, or to acquire on the ASX existing shares and transfer these to
an eligible employee.
The specific terms of a particular grant, including any performance
conditions, will be contained in the invitation and associated
documentation sent to the eligible employee.
A right granted to a participant is not transferable and may not
otherwise be dealt with, except with the Board’s approval, or by
operation of law on death or legal incapacity.
Rights to acquire shares will not be exercisable until the end of the
final measurement period, and until those rights have satisfied all
vesting conditions and all performance hurdles established by the
Board. This is subject to a number of exceptions (including death,
cessation of employment, takeovers and schemes of arrangement).
The rights will have a specified life determined by the Board. All
grants of rights will have a life terminating five (5) years after the
grant date or such other date as determined by the Board.
The Board will prescribe the date when performance under the
hurdle is measured for each tranche.
On or after the end of the final measurement period and provided
any performance hurdle prescribed by the Board has been achieved
and, where applicable, to the extent it has been achieved, the plan
participant may then acquire shares by exercising the rights.
A right lapses if the vesting conditions are not met.
There is a Board policy in relation to the person limiting exposure to
risk in relation to the securities issued as part of the remuneration.
There was no new issue of rights in the current year.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Performance Income as a Proportion of Total Remuneration
C
SERVICE AGREEMENTS
Executive Directors and executives are paid performance based
bonuses based on set monetary figures, rather than proportions
of their salary. This has led to the proportions of remuneration
related to performance varying between individuals. The
Nomination and Remuneration Committee has set these bonuses
to encourage achievement of specific goals that have been given
a high level of importance to the future growth and profitability
of the consolidated Group.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will review
the performance bonuses to gauge their effectiveness against
achievement of the set goals, and adjust future years’ incentives
as they see fit, to ensure use of the most cost effective and
efficient methods.
Name
Other key management personnel (Group)
Stephen Nash
On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors enter into
a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of
appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms,
including compensation, relevant to the office of Director.
Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing
Director and the other key management personnel are also
formalised in service agreements. Each of these agreements provide
for the provision of performance-related cash bonuses, other
benefits, car allowances, and participation, when eligible, in the BSA
Limited Option Plan and the BSA Performance Rights Plan. Other
major provisions of the agreements relating to remuneration are set
out below.
All contracts with executives may be terminated early by either party
with three to six months notice.
D
CASH BONUSES
Key management personnel and executives are entitled to a short-
term cash incentive based on performance criteria described in
section A to this Remuneration Report. Details of these FY14 short-
term incentives recognised as remuneration, forfeited or available for
vesting in future financial years is outlined below.

REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS
The Board and Remuneration Committee engaged KPMG as an independent remuneration consultant to provide remuneration advice
and information to the Board during the year. KPMG was engaged independent of management to assist the Board using an agreed set of
protocols that would be followed by KPMG, members of the Remuneration Committee and members of the key management personnel
for the way in which remuneration recommendations would be developed by KPMG and provided to the Board. These arrangements
were implemented to ensure that KPMG would be able to carry out its work, including information capture and the formation of its
recommendations, free from undue influence by members of the key management personnel about whom the recommendations may
relate. The Board undertook its own inquiries and review of the processes and procedures followed by KPMG and is satisfied that their
remuneration recommendations were made free from such undue influence. The Board and Remuneration Committee confirm that KPMG

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
Technical Field Force Solutions continue to conduct
mandatory Workplace Health and Safety audits with
all contracting companies.
The Company, through its Board and Executives, recognises the need to establish and maintain
corporate governance policies and practices, which reflect the requirements of the market regulators
and participants, and the expectations of members and others who deal with the Company.
These policies and practices remain under constant review as the corporate governance environment and good practice evolve.
This statement outlines the Company’s system of governance during the financial year and the extent of the Company’s compliance, as at the
end of the financial year, by reference to the second edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010
Amendments and to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
As at the date of publication, the Company complies with the recommendations in all respects, other than the requirement for the majority
of the Directors of the Company to be independent, and the recommendation that there be two separate committees for remuneration and
nomination. Further, in undertaking a review of the Company’s current practices, the Company has established a new Code of Conduct, a
Whistleblowing Policy, and a Diversity Policy which sets out the diversity targets against which the Company will report. The Company did not
meet its targets for female representation set in the last financial year. However, the Company has increased its total percentage of female
representation, and has been assessed by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency as compliant with the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012.
Corporate governance documentation including charters and relevant corporate policies and codes referred to in this statement can be found
on the www.bsa.com.au website.

1.2 Process for Evaluating the Performance of Senior Executives
The Company has an established process of objective setting and
performance review of all staff.
Senior Executives have defined objectives which are agreed at the
commencement of each financial year. Their performance against
these objectives is assessed annually, in addition to regular feedback
during the performance period. The potential future development
of the Executive is discussed, together with any training required
to assist in achieving the development objectives and progression
within the Company.
In the case of the Senior Executives (including the Managing
Director), an assessment of their performance is undertaken by the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Board.
In addition to the induction program provided to new employees,
new members of the Executive Management team undertake
an induction program customised to their needs. This typically
includes one on one meetings with every member of the Executive
Management team, and visits to major sites. Senior Executives and
senior managers also participate in training sessions on key topics
of relevance such as changes in corporate governance standards,
legislation, and compliance.
1.3 Performance Evaluation
It is our policy that, each member of the Executive Management
team, including the Managing Director, is subject to a performance
review as described in 1.2 above.
PRINCIPLE 2
STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE
The membership of the Board is reviewed by the full Board, from
time to time, having regard to the ongoing needs of the Company
and the Company’s Constitution. It is the policy of the Board that
its membership should reflect an appropriate balance between
Executive members possessing extensive direct experience and
expertise in the business activities of the Company, and Non-
Executive members who bring to the Board a broad range of general
commercial expertise, experience and qualifications.
The Group’s objective is that the Board should be of a size and
composition that is conducive to effective decision making, with the
benefit of a variety of perspectives and skills and in the interests of
the Company.
The appointment of a new member to the Board is made after
consultation with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and
the Board. New Directors are initially appointed by the full Board and
must then submit themselves to election by members of the Company
at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) following their appointment.
On 4 November 2013, the Company announced that Mr Stephen
Nash would retire his position as Managing/Executive Director of
the Board. On 14 January 2014, the Company announced that Mr
Nicholas Yates would assume the position of Managing/Executive
Director, on 11 March 2014. On 10 April 2014, the Company
announced that Mr Daniel Collis would retire his position as a Non-
Executive Director of the Board, from that date and that Mr Max
Cowley would assume the position of a Non-Executive Director.
Board renewal and succession planning is part of the Company’s
overall governance program and the Company remains committed
to a Board which includes a mix of Non-Executive members who
have outstanding track records and reputations at the highest levels
of business and commerce generally.
The Company has undertaken a review of its practices on diversity.
This has included an assessment of the relevant policies to codify
the Company’s position on diversity; and, in particular, the targets
from which the Company will report against. Further information
on how the Company is currently addressing the issue of diversity is
contained in section 3 of this statement.

(4) Mr Cowley was appointed to the Board on 10 April 2014.
Biographies of the Directors are included in the section on the
Board of Directors in this Annual Report.
The Board currently has six members. Of these, three are
independent Non-Executive Directors. These Directors are
considered by the Board to be independent of management and free
of any business or other relationship, or any other circumstance that
could materially interfere with the exercise of objective, unfettered
or independent judgment.
The Board considers that it should include significant
representation by Directors who are capable and willing to make
decisions which are in the best interests of members, free from
interests and influences which conflict with that duty, and are also
independent of management.
The Board continually assesses the independence of each Director
in accordance with the interests they have disclosed, and such other
factors as the Board determines are appropriate.
In making this determination, the Board is seeking to assess
whether Directors are:
• Within the last three years has been a partner or a senior
management Executive with audit responsibilities of a firm
which has acted in the capacity of statutory auditor of any
member of the Company;
• Within the last three years has been a principal, employee
or consultant of a material professional adviser to any
member of the Company;
•
•
•
Is a principal, employee or associate of a material supplier
to, or material customer of, any member of the Company;
Has a material contractual relationship with any member of
the Company other than as a Director of the Company; and
Has any interest, or business, or other relationship, which
could materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in
the best interests of the Company, and independently
of management.
As regarding the Non-Executive Directors, applying the
criteria set out in the Board Charter, the Board has made the
following determinations:
• Mr Daniel Collis(1) is not independent given that he is a
Director, and Company Secretary, of the major substantial
shareholder in the Company;
• Mr Mark Lowe is not independent (following his resignation
as an Executive in March 2012), given his long standing
Executive role with the Company;
• Mr Stephen Nash(2) is not independent given that his role
was that of Managing Director, an Executive Director;
• Mr Nicholas Yates(3) is not independent given that his role is
that of Managing Director, an Executive Director;
• Mr Max Cowley(4) is not independent given that he was a
Director, and Company Secretary, of the major substantial
shareholder in the Company; and
• Mr Ross Johnston, Mr Michael Givoni and Mr Paul Teisseire
are all considered to be independent Directors.
(1) Mr Collis retired his position on the Board on 10 April 2014.
(2) Mr Nash retired his position on the Board on 11 March 2014.
(3) Mr Yates was appointed to the Board on 11 March 2014.
Independent of management;
(4) Mr Cowley was appointed to the Board on 10 April 2014.
•
•
•
Free of any business or other relationship that could
materially interfere or be perceived to materially interfere
with their unfettered and independent judgment; and
Capable of making decisions without bias and which are in
the best interests of all members.
A Non-Executive Director will not be regarded as an independent
director if that Director:
•
Is a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer
of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial
shareholder of the Company;
• Within the last three years has been employed in an
Executive capacity by any member of the Company, or been
a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;
32
BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014
The Board, through the Nomination and Remuneration Committee,
has come to the conclusion that whilst 50% of the Board is
independent, the balance of skills and experience required for
Board members for the size and development of the Company
is appropriate. The Board is confident that each Non-Executive
Director brings independent judgment to bear on Board decisions.
That conclusion was reached based on the Board’s knowledge of
the significant contributions made by each Director to the business
of the Board, and its Committees. This includes the willingness of
the Directors to debate issues openly and constructively and freely
express their views and opinions on matters being considered by the
Board, including occasions where those views are contrary to those
expressed by the Executive Directors and management.
•
•
•
Identifying suitable candidates (Executive and Non-
Executive) to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise,
and nominating candidates for approval of the Board;
Annually reviewing the performance of the Board; and
Ensuring the existence of proper succession planning
processes and plans for the Board.
No member of the Committee will participate in a review of their
own performance or re-appointment.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter, as approved
by the Board, appears in the corporate governance section of the
www.bsa.com.au website.
Recommendations regarding future appointment of additional
Directors will be made by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee, and considered by the Board, having regard to:
•
•
•
The assessment made on the skill set required to discharge
the responsibilities of the Board, compared with the skills
currently represented on the Board;
The current strategic direction of the Company, and the
consequent need to consider skills which may be required
in the future; and
The suitability of available candidates, identified in the
context of a detailed description of the role and capabilities
required, for a particular appointment.
Recommendations made by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee will be considered by the Board, which retains an
unfettered discretion on the appointment of a Director to fill a
casual vacancy or act as an additional Director, prior to the formal
election of that Director, by the members of the Company at a
General Meeting.
Upon appointment, a new Director undertakes an induction program
specifically designed to their needs, to assist in familiarising them
with issues relating to the current business before the Board.
New Board members are provided with the opportunity to
experience the operations of the Company, and to meet and
discuss all aspects of the Company’s operations with key members
of Executive Management. As part of the induction program, access
is provided to information in areas such as; operations, finance,
treasury, and risk management, to assist the new Board member
as required.
Directors are able to take independent professional advice, and
are required to make that advice available to the other Directors.
Directors are encouraged to direct any enquiries or requests for
additional information to the Company Secretary, who will facilitate
a response to the query and/or provide the Director with the
requested information.
Each Non-Executive Director has signed a letter of appointment
which, amongst other things, places an onus on each independent
Director to promptly and fully disclose to the Board any matter or
circumstance which may impact on their status as an independent
Director, or the likely perception of their status, as an independent
member of the Board. Where the Board concludes that a Director
has lost their status as an independent Director, that determination
will be advised to the market.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s Charter discloses
a process for selection and appointment of new Directors and
re-election of incumbent Directors. The role and responsibilities of
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are set out later in
this statement.
2.2 Chair and Independence
The ASX Corporate Governance Council recommends that listed
companies should have an independent Director as Chair, and that
the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer should not be held by
the same person.
Mr Ross Johnston is considered to be independent by the Board,
having regard to the guidelines for independence.
2.3 Nomination and Remuneration Committee
The Board has appointed a combined Nomination and Remuneration
Committee, with the two distinct roles, having regard to the size and
requirements of the Company.
The objective of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is
to support and advise the Board in relation to the identification,
selection, recommendation and appointment, of the Board, the
Directors and the Senior Executives, as well as the ongoing
evaluation and review of their performance. It is also responsible
for the general remuneration, recruitment and termination policies
and practices.
The members of the Committee are set out in the Directors’ Report.
The Board recognises the ASX’s recommendation that the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee should be chaired by an
independent Director. Mr Michael Givoni is an independent Director.
The Committee met during the financial year, per the details set out
in the Directors’ Report. The Executive Directors may be invited to
attend Nomination and Remuneration Committee discussions.
The functions undertaken by the Committee in discharging their
responsibilities include:
•
•
Assessing the skills of current Board members against the
collective skill set required by the Board to competently
discharge the Board’s duties, having regard to the strategic
direction of the Company;
Regularly reviewing and making recommendations to
the Board regarding the structure, size, diversity and
composition (including the balance of skills, knowledge
and experience) of the Board; and reviewing the
effectiveness of the Board as a whole, and continually
reviewing the leadership needs of the Company, both
Executive and Non-Executive;

As part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to high standards
of ethical conduct, the Company is committed to continually
developing a Compliance Manual which provides detailed guidance
to employees on the current laws applicable in the jurisdiction in
which they work, the standards of conduct, and the procedures to

help employees understand the legal requirements with which the
Company must comply.
The Compliance Manual deals with issues such as:
• Workplace health and safety;
•
•
•
•
•
•
Australian Consumer Law;

The conduct of all Company employees is governed by a set of
fundamental principles to which employees are expected to adhere
to when dealing with other employees, clients, contractors, members,

Employee Code of Conduct
The core principles of the BSA Group are supplemented by the
Code of Conduct which is provided to all employees at the time
of joining the Company, and which deals, in broad terms, with the
following matters:
•
•
•
•
The high standards of personal conduct and ethical
behaviour expected of all employees;
The duty of employees to avoid conflicts of interest
which may arise if the employee or any person or entity
associated with that employee has a business arrangement
or relationship with the Company outside their normal
employment relationship;

respect to the Company’s information and information
provided by our contractors and clients;
The duty of employees to avoid discrimination against any
person; and

The Code of Conduct, which is provided to, and acknowledged by,
all employees who join the Company, is reviewed on a regular basis
to ensure it remains current and relevant. Compliance seminars
to update senior management on changes to legal requirements
and procedures are conducted on a regular basis, and all senior
managers are required to pass this information on to their staff.
Senior managers are required to attend and formally acknowledge
their understanding and compliance.
It is the responsibility of each Director and employee to understand
the Company values, Code of Conduct, and other policies applicable
to them and to bring to the attention of senior management any
conduct or activities which may be in breach of those policies, so
that a proper investigation can be conducted.
Serious breaches of these policies must be reported immediately,
either via a Whistleblower Service Hotline, or to the Managing
Director, the Chief Financial Officer, or the General Counsel, for
investigation, in accordance with the Company’s policies. Where
appropriate, the police or other regulatory authority will be informed.
Complaints are treated in a confidential manner. No action of any
kind will be taken against an employee, adviser or contractor who, in
good faith, makes an allegation against the Company, any employee,
adviser or contractor, whether or not that complaint is confirmed by
subsequent investigation.
Whistleblower Policy
Having regard to the above, the Company has implemented
a Whistleblowing Policy which forms an integral part of the
Company’s compliance program. The policy will be adopted to
ensure that concerns regarding unethical, unlawful or improper
conduct may be raised without fear of reprisal.
•
Under the policy, the Company has appointed a
Whistleblower Protection Officer. Employees will be
encouraged to report any genuine matter, or behaviour,
that they honestly believe contravenes the Code of
Conduct, policies, or the law. Such matters may include any
actual or suspected:
-
-
-
-
-
Conduct or practices which are illegal;
Corrupt activities;
Theft or fraud;
Misleading or deceptive conduct of any kind; or
Harm to public health or safety, or the health or
safety of any employee.
The Company has now implemented a Whistleblower Program and
an external Whistleblower Hotline Service, whereby actions that are
unethical, unlawful or improper can be dealt with in a formal manner.
The Company will investigate all reported concerns appropriately,
and will, where applicable, provide feedback regarding the
investigation’s outcome. The Company will take any necessary action
in response to a report, and where no action is taken an explanation
will be provided.
A report will be provided to the Audit and Compliance Committee,
summarising the whistleblower activities for the preceding six
month period.
3.2 Diversity
As noted at section 2 above, the Board has undertaken a review
and assessment of its current practices, including how the Board
and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee presently take
into account the diversity criteria when identifying and assessing
potential Director candidates and members of senior management.
The Company has implemented a Diversity Policy which expressly
incorporates the diversity targets against which the Company will
report, and which the Board and Committee will consider in relation
to their objectives and responsibilities.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Company values an inclusive culture where all people are able
to succeed to the best of their ability. These principles also guide
our employees’ conduct in all their dealings with stakeholders of
the Company. Diversity is regarded as a key factor in enabling the
Company to attract the broadest range of talent in the market.
Our commitment to diversity requires that we work to ensure
an environment which is supportive of equality and access for
all our staff to career opportunities, development, remuneration
and benefits. Diversity includes but is not limited to gender, age,
disability, ethnicity, religion and cultural background. However,
the initial emphasis by the Company is on gender diversity with a
primary goal being to strengthen the representation of women in
management positions.
Women in BSA
The Company recognises that working towards gender diversity
and equality is essential to attracting and retaining the best talent
in our business. Currently, 17% of the Company’s total workforce is
female, with 9% representation within the Senior Executive team. In
accordance with the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (the Act), the
Company has reported on the distribution of gender in the workplace,
and has complied with the notification and access requirements.
The Board has considered appropriate targets, having regard to the
industry in which the Company operates. Relevantly, the Company
has decided to maintain the target it set in the last financial
year. Therefore, the Company has set a target of 20% female
representation in the senior management of the Company, together
with a target of 20% female representation in the senior talent and
succession plans, for the next financial year.
The Company will seek to improve each year on the target scores,
and employees’ views on diversity will be tracked via employee
surveys. The Company will also review its progress on diversity
against other organisations within this industry.
The Company has established a working group which has reviewed
the Act, with the objective of ensuring compliance with the
standardised gender equality indicators, minimum standards and
reporting requirements and implementing strategies to ensure such
compliance. The Company is aware that it must comply with the Act,
and, on that basis, will continually revise its practices and policies
to ensure it complies with, and reports against, any standardised
gender equality indicators and other minimum standards set by the
relevant Minister, having regard to the Act.
As part of this process, the Company is committed to achieving the
following objectives over the next financial year:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Managing Director will develop a three year plan to
address diversity targets;
The establishment of processes in relation to objective
setting, co-ordination, monitoring and reporting of diversity
measures;
Implementing an education program focusing on raising
awareness of the need for diversity;
Reviewing the opportunities in non-traditional roles (e.g.
construction and project managers) and, where possible and
practical, ensuring at least one woman is on the recruitment
short list;
Reviewing the hiring processes with the intention of
increasing the representation of a diverse candidate
pool; and
Succession planning reviews with each Senior Executive
with a focus on improved diverse representation and career
planning for senior positions.
The Company will report against the above objectives. In the past
financial year, the Company submitted a compliance report to the
Workplace Gender Equality Agency (the Agency). The Agency advised
that the Company is compliant with the Act.
Professional development is available for all our employees, with
additional emphasis and focus placed on leadership development
throughout all levels of our talent pipeline. All employees are
provided with opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills and
capabilities, and enhance their potential for leadership positions in
the future.
The Company’s Parental Leave Policy aims to provide employees
with sufficient options and choices to enable them to devote time
and care to their new or adopted children without disadvantaging
their career. Paid parental leave is available to employees based
on a sliding scale of entitlement. Employees on parental leave
are invited to attend relevant training programs, seminars or
conferences to keep them up to date on developments within their
area of business and help support their transition back to work.
The Diversity Policy shall be continually reviewed as part of an
ongoing commitment to achieving the above objectives, and the
standardised gender equality indicators set, in accordance with
the Act.

Cultural Diversity
The Company is committed to maintaining and developing
mutually beneficial and respectful indigenous partnerships with the
industries within which the Company operates, by providing real
opportunities in education, training, mentoring and employment to
indigenous Australians.
The Company continues to focus on enhancing diversity through
a range of strategies at the Board and business levels, which in
turn contribute significantly to the Company’s business and to
achievement of the business values which we have established.
3.3 Security Trading Policy
The Company is committed to promoting knowledge and awareness
of the legal, regulatory and governance requirements to which the
Company and its employees are subject, including prohibitions
against insider trading.
All Directors and employees are subject to Corporations Act 2001
(Cth) restrictions on buying, selling, or subscribing for securities in
the Company if they are in possession of price sensitive information
which has not been published.
Members of the Board, and certain employees within the
Company who have been notified that this policy applies to them,
are prohibited from trading in Company securities in certain
defined black-out periods, which include periods leading up to
an announcement of results. They are encouraged to first obtain
written, or email, consent from the Managing Director or Chair
before dealing. These people are reminded of their obligations at
appropriate times throughout the financial year.
At any other time, any member of the Board dealing in the
Company’s securities must notify the Company Secretary.
A copy of the Security Trading Policy is available on the
www.bsa.com.au website.
A copy of the Company’s Security Trading Policy was lodged with the
ASX and released to the market on 28 December 2010.

PRINCIPLE 7
RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK
7.1 Risk oversight and management and internal control
The entire Board is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the
corporate policies for identifying and managing relevant risks
associated with the business of the Company, and the adequacy
of the Company’s practices and procedures in implementing those
policies. This involves monitoring and reviewing:
•
•
The Company’s policies regarding risk oversight and risk
management;
The appropriateness of the risk management and internal
control systems adopted by the Company; and
•
The Company’s continuing processes for:
-
-
-
-
The identification of material workplace health
and safety, financial, legal, and operational risks
associated with the conduct of the business of
the Company;
The maintenance of appropriate internal control
systems designed to manage key risk areas;
Assessing the above matters in conjunction with
management and the external auditors; and
Monitoring and reporting against compliance with
the risk management policies.
Operating a group of companies undertaking technical and building,
including construction related services, inevitably involves risks
of various kinds. Furthermore, operating a company which utilises
a contractor base involves risks of a different nature, which need
to be balanced with the Company’s business and management.
The Company’s objective is to ensure that those business risks
are identified and assessed, and that, where it is practical and
economical, steps are taken to mitigate the impact of any risk which
may eventuate.
The Company regards risk management as an essential element
in its management processes, with links to every aspect of the
Company’s business including health and safety issues in respect of
employees, clients, contractors and customers, the construction of
sites, and relationships with major clients, contractors, and suppliers.
The Company’s approach to risk management involves:
•
•
•
•
Pro-actively identifying risk;
Properly assessing and making informed decisions on risk
issues;
Ensuring that sound risk mitigation and management plans
are in place; and
Reviewing, as part of its regular business processes, the
operation and adequacy of its risk management systems
and the assumptions which dictate those systems.
Risk management is aimed at managing the level of risk within
parameters which are acceptable to the Company, rather than
seeking to eliminate all risks. The Company’s risk management
systems promote the need for informed and measured decision
making on risk issues based on a systematic approach to risk
identification, assessment, control, and review and reporting.
The Company has developed and implemented a risk profile to
operate as a general guide as to identification, assessment, and
management of the various risks inherent to the Company’s
business, from a contractual perspective.
7.2 Management of material business risks
The Board has delegated specific risk related responsibilities to the
Managing Director, who, in turn, has delegated these responsibilities
to management.
Each Senior Executive, and all managers, are responsible for:
•
•
•
Assisting in the formulation of all aspects of the risk
management process;
Overseeing the implementation of the Company’s policies
and procedures by ensuring that all phases of the process
of identification, assessment, control, review and reporting
are reflected appropriately in the business processes of the
Company; and
Implementing appropriate systems for confirming
compliance with all relevant laws, and other regulatory
obligations, are complied with.
The Managing Director reports to the Board on the effectiveness of
the Company’s management of its material risks.
7.3 Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer Assurance
The Managing Director and the Chief Financial Officer are required
to confirm in writing to the Board, every half year, that in all material
respects:
•
•
•
The financial statements present a true and fair view;
That this assertion is founded on a sound system of
financial risk management and internal compliance and
control which implements the policies adopted by the
Board; and
That the Company’s financial risk management and internal
compliance and control systems are operating efficiently
and effectively in all material respects in relation to
financial reporting risks.
This assurance has been given.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
PRINCIPLE 8
REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY
The Company’s remuneration policy is designed to attract and retain
high caliber Directors and Senior Executives, capable of meeting the
specific management needs of the Company.
The Company’s current remuneration objectives and policies
regarding determination of base pay, the short term variable
bonus, and long term equity linked incentives, are explained in the
Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report.
Details of the remuneration of all Directors are set out in the
Remuneration Report.
8.1 Nomination and Remuneration Committee
As the Company has a combined Nomination and Remuneration
Committee, the composition of the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee is as set out in the Directors’ Report.
The Board recognises the ASX’s recommendation that the
Nomination and Remuneration Committee should be chaired by
an independent chair and consist of a majority of independent
directors. The Chair, Mr Michael Givoni, is independent and the
Committee consists of a majority of independent Directors. Mr Mark
Lowe is not independent given his long standing Executive role
within the Company, and Mr Daniel Collis and Mr Max Cowley are
not independent because they were/are Directors and Company
Secretaries of the major substantial shareholder in the Company.
The Committee met during the financial year, as set out in the
Directors’ Report.
The objective of the Committee is to assist the Board in establishing
remuneration policies and practices which:
•
•
•
Enable the Company to attract and retain Executives and
Directors who will create sustainable value and returns for
members and other stakeholders;
Fairly and responsibly reward Executives and Directors,
having regard to the performance of the Company, the
Executive, and the market; and
Comply with all relevant legislation and regulations
including the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act
2001 (Cth).
The Charter of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee may
be viewed on the www.bsa.com.au website.
The responsibilities of the Committee include:
•
Determining and reviewing remuneration policies to
apply to members of the Board, and to Executives within
the Company;
•
•
•
•
•
Determining the specific remuneration packages for
Executive Directors (including base pay, incentive
payments, equity linked plan participation, and other
contractual benefits);
Reviewing contractual rights of termination for members of
the Senior Executive team;
Reviewing and approving the policy for participation by
Senior Executives in equity-linked plans;
Reviewing and approving management’s recommendations
of the total proposed awards to be issued under each
plan; and
Administering the equity-linked plans as required in
accordance with the rules of the plans.
8.2 Structure of Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration
Fees paid to Non-Executive Directors are determined by the Board,
within the current maximum aggregate limit set by members of
the Company. Current fees and salaries are fully disclosed in the
Remuneration Report section of the Directors’ Report. Directors’
fees are reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee, and by the Board, taking into consideration the level of
fees paid to Non-Executive Directors by companies of a similar size
and stature.
Non-Executive Directors receive their fees in cash. The Non-
Executive Directors do not participate in schemes designed for the
remuneration of Executives, nor do they receive options or bonus
payments. The gross fee received by Non-Executive Directors is
inclusive of any contribution that the Company is obliged to pay
pursuant to the superannuation guarantee legislation. There are
no retirement schemes or retirement benefits for Non-Executive
Directors, other than statutory benefits for Non-Executive Directors.
8.3 Equity Linked Executive Remuneration
The Company has a policy to preclude its Senior Executives
from entering into transactions to limit their economic risk from
investing in Company shares, options, or rights, where those
entitlements are unvested. The Company makes Senior Executives
aware of their obligations in relation to financial commitments
against shares issued under the Executive securities plan, and
has requested that they take sufficient independent, professional
advice in relation to their individual financial position. The
Company does not provide advice.
In addition to the Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations, the Company considers that a commitment to
workplace health and safety, and the environment, and to privacy, is
paramount to a good corporate governance programme.

IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the
classification and measurement of financial assets,
hedge accounting and impairment of financial asset.
The Directors do not anticipate the application of IFRS
9 to have a material impact on the financial results of
the Group.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
outlines a single comprehensive model for entities
to use in accounting for revenue from contracts
with customers, which will supersede current
revenue recognition guidance included in IAS 18
Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and related
Interpretations. The key principle of this standard
is that an entity will recognise revenue when it
transfers promised goods or services to customers for
an amount that reflects its expected consideration.
The Standard introduces more prescriptive and
detailed implementation guidance than was included
in IAS 18, IAS 11, and the related Interpretations.
The directors are yet to assess the impact of the
application of IFRS 15.
A number of Australian Accounting Standards are on issue but are not effective for the current year end. The reported results and position of the Group are not expected to change on
adoption of these pronouncements. Adoption will, however, result in changes to information currently disclosed in the financial statements. The Group does not intend to adopt any of these
pronouncements before their effective dates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Statement of compliance
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards and Interpretations,
and comply with other requirements of the law.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purposes of preparing consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity.
Accounting Standards include Australian Accounting Standards. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes of the Company and the
Group comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 22 September 2014.
3.2 Going Concern
As at 30 June 2014, the consolidated entity has a deficiency of current net assets of $16,415,000. Notwithstanding this deficiency, the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to
prepare the financials on a going concern basis based upon:
•
•
•
•
•
•
current net assets include bank borrowings of $8,382,000 that are expected to be rolled over at the annual renewal in November 2014. In addition $5,300,000 of debt relating to
quarterly amortisation of term debt is also included in net current assets and is scheduled in current forecasts for repayment in FY15
significant non-cash project provisions of $9,260,000 related to legacy issues are included in current net liabilities at 30 June 2014
forward cash flow projections for the Group
strong ongoing support by our financiers
improved trading position and
strong forward order book.
Note: Tax losses carried forward of $2,479,000, expected to be offset against taxable profits in FY15, were reported in the Appendix 4E in current tax assets. Under AASB 101 deferred tax
assets are required to be reported as non-current assets.
3.3 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at
the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless
of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the
characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for
measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope
of AASB 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of AASB 117, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in
AASB 2 or value in use in AASB 136.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1,2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are
observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
•
•
•
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the Financial Report are rounded
off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.4 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved
when the Company:
•
•
•
has power over the investee;
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct
the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are
sufficient to give it power, including:
•
•
•
•
the size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties;
rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to
be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses
of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains
control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of
subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.5 Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value which is calculated as the sum
of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity instruments issued by the Group
in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value.
Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). All other subsequent changes in
the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability are accounted for in accordance with relevant Standards. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
classified as equity are not recognised.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date, except that:
•
•
•
Deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements, are recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 112 Income Taxes and
AASB 119 Employee Benefits respectively;
Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree, or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-
based payment arrangements of the acquiree, are measured in accordance with AASB 2 ‘Share-based Payment’ at the acquisition date; and
Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with AASB 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in
accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the
acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially
measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is
made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another Standard.
Where the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent
consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted
retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the
‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration
is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent
consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with AASB 139, or AASB 137 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets’, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
Where a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired entity are remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date the Group
attains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items
for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new
information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.
3.6 Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of the business (see 3.5 above) less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the
synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then
to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the Consolidated
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.7 Interests in Joint Arrangements
Under AASB 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements, joint operations and joint ventures. The classification of joint arrangements under AASB 11 is determined based on the
rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement,
and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights
to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint
venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
The Group’s Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, an investment in a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated
statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the joint venture
The Group’s Investments in joint operations are accounted for such that each joint operator recognises its assets (including its share of any assets jointly held), its liabilities (including its
share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue (including its share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation) and its expenses (including its share of any
expenses incurred jointly). The Group accounts for the assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses, relating to its interest in the joint operation in accordance with the
applicable Standards.
3.8 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances..
3.8.1 Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
•
•
•
•
•
The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
3.8.2 Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of the contract is determined as follows:
•
•
•
Installation fees are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the installation, determined as the proportion of the total time expected to install that has elapsed at
the end of the reporting period;
Servicing fees included in the price of products sold are recognised by reference to the proportion of the total cost of providing the servicing for the product sold; and
Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised at the contractual rates as labour hours are delivered and direct expenses are incurred.
The Group’s policy for recognition of revenue from construction contracts is described at 3.9 below
3.8.3 Dividend and interest income
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).
Interest income is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis,
by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial
asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.9 Construction contracts and work in progress
Construction contract revenue is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period, measured based on the proportion of contract revenue
for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract value. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included to the extent that the amount can be measured
reliably and its receipt is considered probable.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
When contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as amounts due from customers for contract work. For contracts
where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is shown as the amounts due to customers for contract work. Amounts received
before the related work is performed are included in the consolidated statement of financial position, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the
customer are included in the consolidated statement of financial position under trade and other receivables.
3.10 Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
3.10.1 The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The
corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses
are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs
(see 3.11 below). Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which
economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental
expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
3.11 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for
their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible
for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
3.12 Employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave when it is probable that settlement will be required
and they are capable of being measured reliably.
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.
Liabilities recognised in respect of long-term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of
services provided by employees up to reporting date.

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.13 Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding
the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in note 31.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of
equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the
revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-
settled employee benefits reserve.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair
value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the
counterparty renders the service.
For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognised for the goods or services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability. At the end of each reporting
period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the year.
3.14 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
3.14.1 Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income because
of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
3.14.2 Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the
computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary
differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the
taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able
to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary
differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the
temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to
allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have
been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in
which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same
taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
3.14.3 Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Where current tax or deferred tax
arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

3.14.4 Tax consolidation
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 August 2007 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The
head entity within the tax-consolidated group is BSA Limited. The members of the tax-consolidated group are identified in note 19. Tax expense/income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets
arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate
taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities
and assets and deferred tax assets arising from un-used tax losses and relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-
consolidated group).
Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or received by the Company and each member of the
Group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the tax-consolidated group in accordance with the arrangement.
3.15 Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at cost.
Depreciation on buildings is recognised in profit or loss.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost (other than freehold land) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives,
residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be
obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss
arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is
recognised in profit or loss.
3.16 Intangible assets
3.16.1 Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for
on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
3.16.2 Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as
intangible assets that are acquired separately.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.17 Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have
suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not
possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable
and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-
generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset
may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not
been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as
a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the
increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior
years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment
loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
3.18 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventories by the
method most appropriate to the particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on the basis of weighted average cost. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling
price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
3.19 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and
uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those
cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that
reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
3.19.1 Warranties
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations under construction contracts are recognised at the Directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the Group’s obligation.
3.19.2 Make Good
Provisions for the estimated cost of work to comply with make good provisions in certain Group property leases are recognised at the Directors’ best estimate of the expenditure to settle the
Group’s obligation.
3.20 Financial Assets
Financial assets are classified into the specified category of ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the
time of initial recognition.
3.20.1 Effective Interest Method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)
through the expected life of the debt instrument, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.20.2 Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and
receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-
term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
3.20.3 Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss , are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be
impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the
investment have been affected.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis.
Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the
portfolio past the average credit period of 30 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future
cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced
through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
3.21 Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group
3.21.1 Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
3.21.2 Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at
the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
3.21.3 Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as ‘other financial liabilities’.
3.21.4 Other Financial Liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings and trade and other payables, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the
rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying on initial recognition.
3.22 Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk, including interest rate swaps. Further details of derivative financial
instruments are disclosed in note 35.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period.
The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition
in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
58 BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
3.22.1 Cash flow hedges
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. The gain or loss relating
to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, and is included in the ‘other gains and losses’ line item.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit
or loss, in the same line of the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income as the recognised hedged item. However, when the forecast transaction that is
hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the
initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the Group revokes the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a
forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
3.23 Goods and services tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:
i Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or
ii For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.
Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority is classified within operating cash flows.
NOTE 4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered
to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
4.1 Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
4.1.1 Contracts - estimates to complete
Construction contracts are accounted for as per 3.9. Inherent in the assessment of profitability of each contract is the estimate to complete. This estimate requires the Directors to assess
the conduct of the contract to date and the expected cost to complete the contract. In addition, where appropriate, Management and the Directors assess the probability of recovery of
variations within the contract estimates.
4.1.2 Impairment of goodwill
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation
requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual
future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.
The carrying amount of goodwill at 30 June 2014 was $15,200,000 (30 June 2013: $55,200,000).
See note 17 for details.
4.1.3 Payroll Tax Liability
BSA has previously advised the market about a possible payroll-tax related liability with the NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR). BSA has continued, along with our legal representatives to
constructively work with the OSR to ensure an equitable and timely conclusion to this matter. BSA has a provision in its FY14 accounts of $2,000,000 (FY13 $2,000,000) and at this time
there is no further information that would suggest this provision should be changed.

Tax consolidation
Relevance of tax consolidation to the Group
The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group with effect from 1 August 2007 and are therefore taxed as a single
entity from that date. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is BSA Limited. The members of the tax-consolidated group are identified in note 19. Tax expense/
income, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised in the separate financial
statements of the members of the tax-consolidated group using the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate financial
statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred tax assets arising from un-used tax losses and
relevant tax credits of the members of the tax-consolidated group are recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-consolidated group).
Due to the existence of a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or received by the Company and
each member of the Group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the parent entity and the other members of the tax-consolidated group in
accordance with the arrangement.

Trade receivables
Trade receivables disclosed above are classified as loans and receivables and are therefore measured at amortised cost.
The average debtor days for the Group is 48 days. No interest is charged on overdue receivables. Allowances for doubtful debts are recognised against trade receivables greater
than 60 days based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to past default experience of the counterparty and specific details around invoice collectability.
Before accepting a new customer, the Group uses an external credit scoring system to assess the potential customer's credit quality and defines credit limits by customer.

The recoverable amount of each cash generating unit is determined based on value-in-use calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of cash flow
projections over a three year period with the period extending beyond three years extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 2.0% for TFFS, 2.0% for TDCP and 2.5% for TMS.
The cash flows are discounted using the weighted average cost of capital with mid-year discounting,
After completion of the value-in-use calculations, the Directors resolved to impair the Goodwill in each of the CGUs (TFFS $11,490,000 TDCP $18,957,000 and TMS $9,553,000).

Other assumptions used in the value-in-use model include Cost of Goods Sold (COGs), Operating Expenses (OPEX), Debtor Days, Creditor Days, Provisions and Work in Progress (WIP) Days.
Forecasts use historical weighted average growth rates and rates at which contracts are currently being written to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account
historical gross margins. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.
The Board considers that it has taken a moderate view of the market conditions and business operations. Recent improvements and the future impact of planned improvements
and business re-engineering have not been fully incorporated in the value-in-use model. Management expects a potential uplift in the performance through these changes and the
overall performance of the CGUs.
Impact of possible changes to key assumptions
Growth Rate
TFFS - In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 5% reduction in top line revenue growth over the model period would cause a reduction in enterprise value of
$13,300,000 and a 5% increase in the overall revenue growth would result in an increase in enterprise value by $13,300,000. A sensitivity analysis of 5% has been chosen due to
the underlying stability of the TFFS business operation model, predominantly based on the back of long term contracts with major clients. The impact on enterprise value excludes
any compensating adjustments to operating expenses.
TDCP - In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 5% reduction in top line revenue growth over the model period would cause a reduction in enterprise value
of $9,100,000 and a 5% increase in the overall revenue growth would result in an increase in enterprise value by $9,100,000. A sensitivity analysis of 5% has been chosen
due to the mature construction market and the current environment projected over a longer term. The impact on enterprise value excludes any compensating adjustments to
operating expenses.
TMS - In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 5% reduction in top line revenue growth over the model period would cause a reduction in enterprise value of
$9,600,000 and a 5% increase in the overall revenue growth would result in an increase in enterprise value by $9,600,000. A sensitivity analysis of 5% has been chosen due to
overall growth of the construction and maintenance market conditions. The impact on enterprise value excludes any compensating adjustments to operating expenses.
BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2014
71
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 17 NON-CURRENT ASSETS - GOODWILL (CONTINUED)
Gross Margin: Revenue less Costs of Goods Sold (Direct Costs)
TFFS - In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 1% reduction in gross margin would cause a reduction in enterprise value of $23,700,000 and an improvement
in gross margin of 1% will increase the enterprise value of the division by $23,700,000. A sensitivity analysis of 1% has been chosen due to the underlying stability of the TFFS
business operation model, predominantly based on the back of long term contracts with major clients. Whilst the value-in-use model has gross margin steady, Management
anticipates that based on current initiatives that gross margin percentages may improve slightly over the value-in-use cash flow projection period.
TDCP - In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 1% reduction in gross margin would cause a reduction in enterprise value of $16,900,000 and an improvement
in gross margin by 1% would increase the enterprise value by $16,900,000. A sensitivity analysis of 1% has been chosen due to the competitive nature of the industry that TDCP
operates in that has resulted in lower than expected margin performance. Whilst the value-in-use model has gross margin steady, Management anticipates that based on current
initiatives that gross margin percentages may improve slightly over the value-in-use cash flow projection period.
TMS - In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 1% reduction in gross margin would cause a reduction in enterprise value of $8,400,000 and a 1% improvement
in gross margin would result in an increase in enterprise value of $8,400,000. A sensitivity analysis of 1% has been chosen due to the underlying stability of the TMS business
operation model, predominantly based on a spread of work across maintenance contracts, service and small project work. Whilst the value-in-use model has gross margin steady,
Management anticipates that based on current initiatives that gross margin percentages may improve slightly over the value-in-use cash flow projection period.
Operating Expense (as a percentage of Revenue)
TFFS - Management estimates that a 1% increase in OPEX would cause a reduction in enterprise value of $24,000,000 and a reduction of 1% in OPEX the enterprise value
increases by $24,000,000. While the OPEX percentage in the value-in-use model is steady over the period, Management anticipates that based on current restructuring that OPEX
percentages may reduce slightly over the value-in-use cash flow projection period.
TDCP - Management estimates that a 1% increase in OPEX would cause a reduction in enterprise value of $17,000,000 and reduction of 1% in OPEX the enterprise value
increases by $17,000,000. While the OPEX percentage in the value-in-use model is steady over the period, Management anticipates that based on current restructuring that OPEX
percentages may reduce slightly over the value-in-use cash flow projection period.
TMS - Management estimates that a 1% increase in OPEX would cause a reduction in enterprise value of $8,600,000 and a reduction of 1% in OPEX the enterprise value
increases by $8,600,000. While the OPEX percentage in the value-in-use model is steady over the period, Management anticipates that based on current restructuring that OPEX
percentages may reduce slightly over the value-in-use cash flow projection period.
Working Capital
Key components affecting working capital include debtor day collections, accounts payable days and project work in progress days. Management believe the assumptions used
in the cash flow projection period are conservative based on historical performance and do not take into account initiatives to improve these metrics going forward. Applying
sensitivity analysis impacts each respective cash-generating-unit as follows:
TFFS – A sensitivity in adversely impacting working capital based on collecting debtors two days later and paying creditors two days earlier would reduce enterprise value
by $2,000,000.
TDCP – A sensitivity in adversely impacting working capital based on collecting debtors two days later and paying creditors two days earlier, and WIP reducing two days would
reduce enterprise value by $4,400,000.
TMS - A sensitivity in adversely impacting working capital based on collecting debtors two days later and paying creditors two days earlier, and WIP reducing two days would
reduce enterprise value by $1,300,000.
Combined Scenario (Gross Margin, Working Capital, OPEX and Growth Rate)
An assessment of combining the impact of the following key variables:
•
•
•
•
Revenue reduction of 1%
Gross Margin reduction of 0.5%
OPEX increase of 0.5%
Working capital movements due to collecting debtors two days later and paying creditors two days earlier and WIP reducing two days (TDCP)
results in a potential reduction in enterprise value of $57,535,000 (Reduction by CGU’s: TFFS $25,878,000, TDCP $21,543,000, TMS $10,114,000).
In the event of the value-in-use model in line with this combined scenario occurring, Management expects that action would be taken to mitigate the impact of one or
more variables.
In the event that the value-in-use model indicates impairment, intangible assets in TDCP and TMS (Customer Relationships and Order Backlog) would be tested for impairment as
well as tangible assets for each CGU.

NOTE 31 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
(a)
Employee Option Plan
The establishment of the BSA Limited Employee Option Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2004 AGM. Staff eligible to participate are those who are full-time or
permanent part-time employees of any company in the Group, including an Executive Director and Non-Executive Director of the company and whom the Board of Directors has
sole discretion to determine to be eligible to participate but does not include a person who has a relevant interest in greater than 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the
Company.
The exercise price and exercise period applicable to any options to be offered under the Option Plan will, at or before the time of issuing an invitation to eligible employees to
subscribe for options, be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.
Subject to any restrictions in the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act 2001, the Board may in its absolute discretion impose on the options such other terms as it considers appropriate.
As soon as practicable after receipt of a valid notice of exercise of an option together with the exercise price the Company will allot the appropriate number of ordinary shares. Any
shares issued on the exercise of the options granted pursuant to the resolution will be officially quoted and will rank equally with all other shares on issue in the Company and all the
rights and entitlements of the holders in respect of those shares will be identical to the rights and entitlements of the holders of the currently issued shares in the Company.
Options can only be exercised after three years if the employee remains in the employment of the Company and the option will then expire two years after this date. If the
employee terminates their employment within the three years, the option is exercisable for 12 months from the date after termination. If the Company is subject to a takeover the
option will vest and be exercisable for a period of three months.
Options may not be transferred, though prior to issue a nominee may be advised for consideration by the Board.
There were no options outstanding at 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).
Fair value of options granted
There have been no options granted since 25 November 2004.
There is no employee benefits expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income (2013: nil), which relates, in full, to
equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

NOTE 31 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)
(b)
Employee Share Scheme
A scheme under which shares were issued by the Company to employees for no cash consideration was ratified by shareholders at the 2004 AGM. All permanent employees
(including Executive Directors) who were continuously employed by the consolidated entity for a period of at least one year were eligible to participate in the scheme. Employees
could elect not to participate in the scheme.
Under the scheme, eligible employees were offered $1,000 worth of fully-paid ordinary shares in BSA Limited for the Year Ended 30 June 2004 for no cash consideration. The
market value of shares issued under the scheme, measured as the weighted average market price on the day of issue of the shares, was recognised in the balance sheet as share
capital and as part of employee benefit cost.
Offers under the scheme are at the discretion of the Company. No offers were made during year the ended 30 June 2014 (2013: Nil).
Shares under the scheme may not be sold until the earlier of three years after issue or cessation of employment with the consolidated entity. In all other aspects the shares rank
equally with other fully-paid ordinary shares on issue (see note 26(c)).
The number of shares issued to participants in the scheme is the offered amount divided by the weighted average price at which the Company's shares are traded on the
Australian Stock Exchange during the five trading days immediately before the date of the offer.
(c)
Executive Securities Plan
The establishment of the BSA Executive Securities Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2005 AGM. The Plan was established as a mechanism to provide the Company's key
Executives with a direct equity involvement and incentive in the Company which aligns them with the shareholders.
The number of securities to be offered and the time at which securities may be offered from time to time to Executives and the price and terms of payment, shall be determined by
the Board in its discretion.
The Board may at such times as it determines invite any Executive to be a member of the Plan.
If an Executive to whom an invitation has been issued forwards to the Company a duly completed Loan Application and the Transfer Documents together with his acceptance, and
where appropriate his Application for Shares, then the Company shall, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, lend to the Executive such amount as the Executive has
applied for in the Loan Application.
The maximum amount of any Loan shall be the total subscription price for the shares applied for.
No interest is payable by the borrower under the Loan Agreement.
An Executive shall not sell, mortgage, charge, assign or otherwise dispose of or encumber any shares before payment or repayment of any amount outstanding to the Company in
respect thereof.
Subject to the above restriction and to the terms of the Loan Agreement (if any) deemed to be entered into by the Executive, an Executive shall from the Date of Allotment, be the
absolute beneficial owner of the shares.
Unless the Directors of the Company otherwise provide in the terms of any Invitation, all Plan Shares shall rank for dividends declared on or after the Date of Allotment and shall
in all respects rank equally with and have the same rights and entitlements as all other fully paid ordinary shares of the Company.
Under the Loan Agreement, the borrower shall repay the balance outstanding of the Outstanding Principal when the borrower ceases to be an employee or Director of the Lender.
BSA Limited has adopted the policy of having a rolling three year maturity date for all Executives who do not have a termed employment contract.

Employee Performance Rights Plan
The establishment of the BSA Employee Performance Rights Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM. The Plan was established to reward selected eligible employees
and to:
•
•
•
•
•
Provide an incentive for the creation of, and focus on, shareholder wealth;
Enable the Company to recruit and retain the talented people needed to achieve the Company's business objectives;
Link the reward of key staff with the achievement of strategic goals and the performance of the Company;
Align the financial interests of participants in the Plan with those of Company shareholders; and
Ensure the remuneration packages of employees are consistent with market practice.
Securities may be offered under the Plan and the Board has discretion to determine who is offered the opportunity to participate.
Generally, securities are subject to a holding restriction and cannot be traded unless certain performance conditions are met or as otherwise specified at the time of the relevant
award after acquisition by the participant.
Rights to acquire shares will not be exercisable until the end of the final measurement period, and until those rights have satisfied all vesting conditions and all performance
hurdles established by the Board. This is subject to a number of exceptions (including death, cessation of employment, takeovers and schemes of arrangement). The rights have a
specified life determined by the Board. The initial grant of rights (the Grant Date) will have a life terminating five years after the Grant Date or such other date as determined by
the Board (the Expiry Date).
Rights granted to certain participants in the initial grant will be at zero vesting value and will be subject to the following performance conditions as determined by the Board:
(i) Service condition of three years; or
(ii) The Company's performance as measured by earnings per share ("EPS") being the EPS for the relevant Measurement Period as determined by the Board having regard to
the financial statements. Certain growth in EPS for the shares must be attained in respect of each Measurement Period and pro rata in respect of each Measurement Period and
service condition of three years.
The Board will prescribe the date when performance under the hurdle is measured for each tranche.
On or after the end of the final measurement period and provided any performance hurdle prescribed by the Board has been achieved and, where applicable, to the extent it has
been achieved, the Plan Participant may then acquire shares by exercising the rights.
A right lapses if it is not exercised by the Expiry Date.
The Exercise Price (if any) will be an amount determined by the Board from time to time, fixed at the date of grant or determined by application of methodology
approved by the Board.
Once Rights have been exercised by an Eligible Employee (subject to certain Performance Conditions being met), the Company may make non-refundable contributions to the Plan
Company to either:
- fund the purchase of a new Plan Share; or
- the acquisition on the ASX of an existing share and transfer to the participant of that share, to which the Participant is entitled under the rights.
The plan company is Computershare Plan Co Pty Limited ACN 098 404 696 or any other Company that the Board may approve from time to time. After rights are exercised, the
plan company will subscribe for new shares or acquire shares in the ordinary course of trading on the ASX for participants, as directed from time to time by the Board.

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to financial risks that arise. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks
and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented throughout these financial statements.
There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used
to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.
The principal financial instruments from which financial instrument risk arises are:
- Trade receivables;
- Cash at bank;
- Bank overdrafts;
- Trade and other payables; and
- Borrowings.
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and polices and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has
delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the Group’s Finance function. The
Group’s risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may
be material. The Board receives monthly reports from the Finance department through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the objectives and
policies it sets. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility.
Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the Group incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when
debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the Group.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers. The Group does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties having
similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are related entities. Concentration of credit risk to the largest counterparty did
not exceed 12% of gross monetary assets at balance date. Concentration of credit risk to any other counterparty did not exceed 10% of gross monetary assets at balance date.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is as follows:
Receivables
Included in loans and receivables, the most significant customer accounts for 13.3% of trade receivables at 30 June 2014 (2013:9.4%).
The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date by country is as follows:

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, which has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the
management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,
banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The table below sets out details of additional undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal to further reduce liquidity risk.

Maturity Analysis - Group
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the
undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To
the extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period. The contractual maturity is based
on the earliest date on which the Group may be required to pay.
The table below includes the weighted average effective interest rate and a reconciliation to the carrying amount in the Statement of Financial Position as an example of summary
quantitative data about exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period that an entity may provide internally to management personnel.

The following table details the Group’s expected maturity for its non-derivative financial assets. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual maturities of
the financial assets including interest that will be earned on those assets. The inclusion of information on non-derivative financial assets is necessary in order to understand the
Group’s liquidity risk management as the liquidity is managed on a net asset and liability basis.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
NOTE 35 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
(d)
Market Risk
Interest rate risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. The risk is managed by the
Group by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate borrowings, and by the use of interest rate swap contracts. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly to
align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period.
For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 2%
increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change
in interest rates.

The above analysis assumes all other variables remain constant.
Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between the fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts.
Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of issued fixed rate debt and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt.
The fair value of interest rate swaps at the end of the reporting period is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the curves at the end of the reporting period and the
credit risk inherent in the contract, and is disclosed below. The average interest rate is based on the outstanding balances at the end of the reporting period.
The following tables detail the notional principal amounts and remaining terms of interest rate swap contracts outstanding at the end of the reporting period:

The interest rate swaps settle on a quarterly basis. The floating rate on the interest rate swaps is the local interbank rate of Australia. The Group will settle the difference between
the fixed and floating interest rate on a net basis.
All interest rate swap contracts exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate interest amounts are designated as cash flow hedges in order to reduce the Group's
cash flow exposure resulting from variable interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swaps and the interest payments on the loan occur simultaneously and the amount
accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss over the period that the floating rate interest payments on debt affect profit or loss.
Cash flow hedges are regarded as a Level 2 financial instrument. Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
NOTE 36 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
In managing its capital, the Group’s primary objective is to ensure its continued ability to provide a consistent return for its equity shareholders through a combination of capital
growth and distributions. In order to achieve this objective, the Group seeks to maintain a gearing ratio that balances risks and returns at an acceptable level and also to maintain
a sufficient funding base to enable the Group to meet its working capital and strategic investment needs. In making decisions to adjust its capital structure to achieve these aims,
either through altering its dividend policy, new share issues or the reduction of debt, the Group considers not only its short-term position but also its long-term operational and
strategic objectives.
It is the Group’s policy to review its gearing ratio to ensure adequate funds are available to meet its obligations. The Group’s gearing ratio at the balance date is shown below :

Gearing levels have increased due to impairment of intangible assets and non-recurring project provisions and profit reductions. It is the Board’s intention to monitor gearing
levels going forward. There have been no other significant changes to the Group’s capital management objectives, policies and processes in the year nor has there been any
change in what the Group considers to be its capital.
