Michael Givoni 
Chairman

For BSA Limited (BSA), FY15 represented a move 

to a more favourable financial position. In what has 

been a challenging number of years, we are now 

seeing improvement in our operational sectors. The 

Group continues to make progress and has built a 

solid platform for growth. The implementation of 

contracting and fundamental business disciplines has 

underpinned the turnaround. We are optimistic about 

the outlook across our Business Units, bolstered by a 

construction Forward Order Book of $206 million and 

annualised recurring revenues of $284m.

OPERATIONAL AND  
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND OUTLOOK

FY15 saw BSA deliver major operational improvements that 
provide a solid and sustainable platform for future growth, and 
a significantly strengthened financial foundation better tailored 
to our business portfolio. These pleasing results are in contrast 
to recent years and have been achieved as a result of a robust 
management push towards operating efficiency improvements 
and a strong focus on discipline and risk. While we are very 
pleased with the result there is still work to be done. We will 
maintain the disciplined focus in FY16 and with continuing 
strength in the markets in which we operate we look forward to 
further business improvements.

In FY15, BSA generated revenue of $543.7m, an uplift of 10.6% 

compared with the prior comparative period (PCP) (2014: $491.5 

million). The Group delivered increased earnings before interest, taxes, 

depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $14.2m (2014: loss of 

$10.7m) and the net profit after tax for the year was $3.9m (2014: loss 

of $54.8m). 

As noted, BSA’s financial position was significantly strengthened by a 

successful capital raising of $21.3 million (net proceeds of $19.8m) and 

by improved working capital management. The funds were applied to 

the repayment of debt and reduction of creditors during the period. In 

The resolution of a number of legacy issues and variation claims 

has also contributed to our improvement in profitability in FY15. The 

resolution of these issues has allowed BSA’s Business Units to be less 

distracted and to return to a business as usual approach, focussing on 

business development, diversification of services for existing clients, 

and embedding improved contracting disciplines throughout the Group.

BSA continues to receive the on-going support of our financiers, with 

working capital facilities renewed through to March 2016. Discussions 

have commenced on the agreement of longer term facilities.

Despite the approaching completion of the large new Royal Adelaide 

Hospital Project, the Group continues with a strong Forward Order Book 

and an increased pipeline of opportunities across all Business Units. 

Further cost reduction initiatives and focus on margin improvements will 

continue into FY16 to ensure BSA’s results maintain the upward trend.

NSW OFFICE OF STATE REVENUE PAYROLL TAX

BSA has previously advised the market about a possible payroll tax 

related liability to the New South Wales Office of State Revenue. 

BSA has continued, along with its legal representatives, to 

constructively work with the Office of State Revenue to ensure an 

equitable and timely conclusion to this matter. BSA has a provision in its 

FY15 accounts of $2.0 million (FY14 $2.0 million) and, at the date of this 

Report, there is no further information that would suggest this provision

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015new ROYAL ADELAIDE HOSPITAL

BSA has also previously advised the market about the new Royal 

Adelaide Hospital Project which has a number of significant and 

unapproved variations. Whilst some variations have been approved and 

paid during FY15, there are still a significant number of unapproved 

variations which are the subject of ongoing negotiations. BSA is 

progressing well to the completion of the Project expected in FY16, and 

we have made progress towards resolving the outstanding matters.

GROWTH

BSA enters FY16 with a strong Forward Order Book. We will continue to 

build our forward workload pipeline with improved market penetration 

and a focus on implementing solid disciplines around bid and contract 

management. Each Business Unit continues to prioritise regular formal 

marketing and business development initiatives to drive further growth 

and diversification opportunities and the pipeline of opportunities is 

solid, reflecting underlying strength in the markets in which we operate.

TDCP has a healthy Forward Order Book and continues to source a 

pipeline of opportunities within both Australia and New Zealand. The 

Business Unit is now focussing successfully on expanding its client base, 

growth of its Fire business and the successful completion of the new 

Royal Adelaide Hospital Project in early 2016.

TFFS has reported a 50% increase in completed installations and 

maintenance tasks, with a total of 900,000 tickets of work completed 

in FY15. This Business Unit continues to focus on growth opportunities 

in the telecommunication and training sectors. Our Registered Training 

Organisation was rebranded as ‘Blue Sky Academy’ and has diversified 

Work and investment in the development and implementation of an 

Integrated Management System (IMS), rationalisation of roles and 

responsibilities, and a focus on simplification, presents BSA with an 

exciting opportunity to further progress its HSEQ journey. In the coming 

year, BSA’s operations will focus on hazard identification and a leadership 

commitment programme that will create a greater understanding of 

risks faced, both strategically and operationally. This will allow a forward 

looking perspective through the use of lead indicator tracking and 

proactive HSEQ leadership.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

During FY15 BSA, its subsidiaries and its employees, contributed to a 

number of charity fundraisers including the Women’s and Children’s 

Hospital Foundation, Multiple Sclerosis Society, Everyday Hero, the 

SNRLFC “Sleapy’s Cancer Day”, the Melanoma March, the Ride to 

Conquer Cancer for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, Royal Flying Doctor Service 

Outback Car Trek and the Mother’s Day Classic.

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 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 

into the health and community sectors.

reach their potential. 

TMS has maintained its position as a major provider to Tier 1 customers 

including Harvey Norman, Fiona Stanley Hospital and Brookfield Office 

Properties. Although there has been a downturn in the resource sector, 

the recurring revenue for this Business Unit saw an increase in FY15, 

with TMS now focussing on the expansion of their national multi-

services capability. TMS has continued to develop its mobility system; 

and, in addition, TMS has entered into an agreement with a leading 

energy management software company, for the deployment of a 

strategic solution to minimise customer energy consumption.

HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY 

BSA’s commitment to diversity ensures the elimination of discrimination 

against people based on gender, ethnic group, political or religious 

affiliation, health status or disabilities.

reduce in terms of both numbers and lost days.

Substantial foundational work has been carried out to move BSA to 

best practice and a leader led health, safety, environment and quality 

(HSEQ) culture. The move to a simpler, systematic and standard way of 

operating has been enhanced by the strengthening of Group standards 

and procedures. These give Business Units the autonomy to engineer 

and tailor systems to maximise and realise inherent value, leverage their 

knowledge base and operating methods whilst ensuring compliance 

within the Group standards and procedures.

The over-arching principle applied at BSA is that where there is an 

existing vacancy the most suitable person for a job is employed.

BSA is also committed to recruiting, training and retaining talented 

future leaders, with apprentice and trainee employees making up 9% of 

our workforce.

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.

The 2015 financial year saw TDCP return to profitability as the Business 

Unit closed out a number of contractual matters and shifted focus 

to concentrate on getting back to basics. The resolution of these 

outstanding issues has allowed the Senior Management Team to prioritise 

re-embedding contracting disciplines around bid management, contract 

formation, design management and improved project delivery. These 

disciplines have been underpinned by improved policies and procedures, 

an enhanced Senior Management Team and a strong effort in reinforcing 

our cultural values and behaviours.

TDCP has continued to compete on a wide variety of projects in FY15. 

Our ability to provide an end-to-end in-house capability in the Fire and 

HVAC sectors, including design, engineering, fabrication, installation, 

commissioning and service, has ensured we continue to be awarded 

some of the largest HVAC and Fire contracts in Australia. 

In FY15 TDCP has delivered works on a large number of landmark  

projects, including:

• 

The new Royal Adelaide Hospital (completion due early 2016),

•  Wagga Wagga Hospital (NSW),

• 

•

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015FY16 has seen TDCP commence with a healthy Forward Order Book 

of $206 million and a strong pipeline of opportunities across Australia 

and New Zealand. We have recently been awarded projects worth 

$106.0m including:

• 

ICC Hotel (Fire & HVAC) (NSW),

•  Westfield Hurstville (NSW),

• 

•

Bolte Tower 10 (VIC),

Epworth Freemasons Hospital (VIC),

Our strategy to grow our NSW based Fire business (Triple ‘M’ Fire) has 

gained significant traction during FY15 with the establishment of our 

QLD Fire business and a move to establish a centralised infrastructure 

division focusing on transport (tunnels and rail), ports and terminals. 

We continue our BSA Living initiative to provide a tailored service to the 

high rise residential market.

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

a 50% national increase in completed operational and 
maintenance activities: a total of 900,000 tickets of work.

BSA’s Registered Training Organisation (RTO), formerly known as BSA 
Advanced Learning, was rebranded as Blue Sky Academy and received 
a revised corporate image, logo, website and course scope. TFFS 

celebrated its first notable technical training achievement in June 2015, 

attaining the standing ‘nbn Approved Training Panel Provider’. The 

opportunity will see Blue Sky Academy work closely with nbn to train

TFFS increased its call efficiency by reducing approximately 192,000 

incoming calls via a solution that allows work exception handling tasks 

to be completed in real time by way of our mobility tablet.

TFFS has also made further progress in cementing its position as an 

advisor on workforce management solutions providing cutting edge 

and tailored structures to a number of major clients.

A right granted to a participant is not transferable and may not 

otherwise be dealt with, except with the Board’s approval, or by

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

measured for each tranche.  

On or after the end of the final measurement period and provided

participant may then acquire shares by exercising the rights. 

A right lapses if the vesting conditions are not met.

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

BSA Limited (the Company) is a limited company incorporated in Australia. The address of its registered office and principal places of business are 

disclosed in the Corporate Directory at the end of the Annual Report. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) are described 

in note 29.

NOTE 2 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

2.1 Amendments to AASBs and new Interpretations that are mandatorily effective for the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to AASBs and new Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards 

Board (AASB) that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2014, and therefore relevant for the current year end.

Standard/Interpretation 

Comments 

AASB 2012-3 ‘Amendments to 

The amendments to AASB 132 clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial 

Australian Accounting Standards 

liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ and 

– Offsetting Financial Assets and 

‘simultaneous realisation and settlement’.

Financial Liabilities’

The amendments have been applied retrospectively. The Group has assessed whether certain of its financial assets 

and financial liabilities qualify for offset based on the criteria set out in the amendments and concluded that the 

application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in the Group’s 

consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2013-3 ‘Amendments  

The amendments to AASB 136 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit 

to AASB 136 – Recoverable 

(CGU) to which goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives had been allocated when there has 

Amount Disclosures for Non-

been no impairment or reversal of impairment of the related CGU. Furthermore, the amendments introduce additional 

Financial Assets’

disclosure requirements applicable to when the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is measured at fair value less 

costs of disposal. These new disclosures include the fair value hierarchy, key assumptions and valuation techniques 

used which are in line with the disclosure required by AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurements’.

The application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures in the Group’s 

consolidated financial statements.

AASB 2013-4 ‘Amendments  

The amendments to AASB 139 provide relief from the requirement to discontinue hedge accounting when a derivative 

to Australian Accounting 

designated as a hedging instrument is novated under certain circumstances. The amendments also clarify that any 

Standards – Novation of

included in the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness.

As the Group does not have any derivatives that are subject to novation, the application of these amendments  

does not have any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated 

financial statements.

The Annual Improvements 2010-2012 has made number of amendments to various AASBs, which are  

Australian Accounting Standards’ 

summarised below.

(Part A: Annual Improvements 

2010–2012 and 2011–2013 Cycles)

•  The amendments to AASB 2 (i) change the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’; and (ii) 

add definitions for ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’ which were previously included within the 

definition of ‘vesting condition’. The amendments to AASB 2 are effective for sharebased payment transactions 

for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.

•  The amendments to AASB 3 clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability should 

be measured at fair value at each reporting date, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a 

financial instrument within the scope of AASB 9 or AASB 139 or a non-financial asset or liability. Changes in fair 

value (other than measurement period adjustments) should be recognised in profit and loss. The amendments to 

AASB 3 are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014.

•  The amendments to AASB 8 (i) require an entity to disclose the judgements made by management in 

applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments 

aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments 

have ‘similar economic characteristics’; and (ii) clarify that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable 

segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segment assets are regularly provided 

to the chief operating decision-maker.

•  The amendments to the basis for conclusions of AASB 13 clarify that the issue of AASB 13 and consequential 

amendments to AASB 139 and AASB 9 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and 

payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of discounting 

is immaterial.

•  The amendments to AASB 116 and AASB 138 remove perceived inconsistencies in the accounting for 

accumulated depreciation/amortisation when an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset 

is revalued. The amended standards clarify that the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner consistent 

with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset and that accumulated depreciation/amortisation 

is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after taking into account 

accumulated impairment losses.

•  The amendments to AASB 124 clarify that a management entity providing Key Management Personnel 

services to a reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. Consequently, the reporting entity 

should disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the 

management entity for the provision of Key Management Personnel services. However, disclosure of the 

components of such compensation is not required.

The Annual Improvements 2011-2013 has made number of amendments to various AASBs, which are  

summarised below.

•  The amendments to AASB 3 clarify that the standard does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all 

types of joint arrangements in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

•  The amendments to AASB 13 clarify that the scope of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value 

of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis includes all contracts that are within the 

scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, AASB 139 or AASB 9, even if those contracts do not meet the 

definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within AASB 132.

•  The amendments to AASB 140 clarify that AASB 140 and AASB 3 are not mutually exclusive and  

application of both standards may be required. Consequently, an entity acquiring investment property  

must determine whether:

 -

 -

the property meets the definition of investment property in terms of AASB 140; and

the transaction meets the definition of a business combination under AASB 3.

The application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts 

recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Interpretation 21 ‘Levies’

Interpretation 21 addresses the issue as to when to recognise a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government. The 

Interpretation defines a levy, and specifies that the obligating event that gives rise to the liability is the activity that 

triggers the payment of the levy, as identified by legislation. The Interpretation provides guidance on how different 

levy arrangements should be accounted for, in particular, it clarifies that neither economic compulsion nor the going 

concern basis of financial statements preparation implies that an entity has a present obligation to pay a levy that will 

be triggered by operating in a future period.

Interpretation 21 has been applied retrospectively. The application of this Interpretation does not have any material 

impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The revised AASB1031 is an interim standard that cross-references to other standards and the Financial Statements’

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 28 August 2015.

3.2 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 102 

‘Inventories’ or value in use in AASB 136 ‘Impairment of Assets’.

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 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.3 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 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.4 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.

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.5 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 3.4 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.

3.6 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. 

3.7  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. 

3.7.1 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.7.2 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 3.8 below.

3.7.3 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.

3.8 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.

3.9 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.

3.9.1 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.

43

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.10 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.

3.11 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.

3.12 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 with a corresponding increase in equity. 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.

3.13 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.

44

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 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. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

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.

3.13.3 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, 

in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognized 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.

3.14 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.

3.15 Intangible assets

3.15.1 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.

3.15.2 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.

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.16 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.

3.17 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.

3.18 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.

3.18.1 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.

3.18.2 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.19 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.

3.19.1 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.

3.19.2 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.

3.19.3 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.

3.20 Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group

3.20.1 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.

3.20.2 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.

3.20.3 Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as ‘other financial liabilities’.

48

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.20.4 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.

3.21 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.

3.21.1 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.

3.22 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 3.8. 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 and claims 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 2015 was $15,185,000 (30 June 2014: $15,185,000).

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 FY15 

accounts of $2,000,000 (FY14 $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 disclosed above are classified as loans and receivables and are therefore measured at amortised cost. 

The average credit period for the Group is 45 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. 

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 TDCP. The cash flows are discounted using the weighted average cost of capital with mid-year discounting. 

60

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2015NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

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 used historical weighted average growth 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.

Management 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

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 $11,900,000 and a 5% increase in the overall revenue growth would result  in an increase in enterprise value by 

$11,900,000. 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. 

Gross Margin: Revenue less Costs of Goods Sold (Direct Costs)

TDCP -  In a sensitivity analysis, Management estimates that a 1% reduction in gross margin would cause a reduction in enterprise value of 

$16,500,000 and an improvement in gross margin of 1% would increase the enterprise value by $16,500,000. 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.

As at 30 June 2015, the value in-use amount for TDCP exceeds the carrying value by $34,596,000.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

NOTE 17 NON-CURRENT ASSETS - GOODWILL (CONTINUED)

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: 

TDCP – A sensitivity in adversely impacting working capital based on collecting debtors five days later and paying creditors two days earlier, and 

WIP reducing two days would reduce enterprise value by $3,100,000.

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 for TDCP of $14,697,000.

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.

(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 twelve 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 2015 (2014: 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 (2014: nil), which 

relates, in full, to equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

(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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Position 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 2015 (2014: 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) 

(ii)

Service condition of three years; or

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.

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:

Liquidity risk

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

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.

NOTE 35 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

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). 

The current interest rate swap agreement ended September 2014.

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 sheet date is shown below:

Gearing levels have decreased due to a capital raising during the year and a strong focus on working capital management. It is the Board’s intention 

to monitor gearing levels going forward to ensure flexibility. 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.
