The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will be in operation for this dividend. Holders of ordinary shares may elect to have all or part of their 

dividend entitlements satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares rather than by being paid in cash. Shares will be allotted or transferred under the DRP 

for a price which is equal to the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average market price (rounded to the nearest whole cent) of all fully paid 

shares of that class sold on the ASX (excluding special crossings and other categories reasonably determined by the Directors as distorting the fair market 

value of the shares) during the ten trading days commencing on the second trading day following the relevant Record Date, determined by reference to 

such information as the Directors approve for the purpose from time to time. None of this dividend is foreign sourced.

This report is based on the consolidated financial statements which have been audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, with the Independent Auditor’s Report 

included in the financial statements.

A. 

 PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND 

AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION 

The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure 

reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results 

delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of 

strategic objectives, the creation of value for shareholders and conforms 

to market practice for how the reward is paid. The Board ensures that 

executives’ reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward 

governance practices:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Competitiveness and reasonableness;

Acceptability to shareholders;

Performance linkage/alignment of executive compensation;

Transparency; and

Capital management.

• 

Has the achievement of target financial profit as a core 

component of performance reward;

• 

As well as focusing each executive on key performance metrics 

relevant to the role; and

• 

Attracts and retains high calibre executives. 

Alignment to program participants’ interests:

• 

• 

• 

• 

Rewards capability and experience;

Reflects competitive reward for contribution to financial 

performance;

Provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and

Provides recognition for contribution.

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable at-risk pay for 

executives and senior managers as well as additional long-term 

incentives for the most senior executives. As executives gain seniority 

and greater responsibility within the Group, the balance of this mix 

shifts to a higher proportion of at-risk rewards.

The Board has established a Remuneration Committee that provides 

advice on remuneration and incentive policies and practices, as well 

as specific recommendations on remuneration packages and other 

terms of employment for Executive Directors, other Senior Executives 

and Non-Executive Directors. The Corporate Governance Statement 

provides further information on the role of this committee.

the base remuneration paid to a Director for six years. Directors’ fees are 

inclusive of superannuation and include the requirement to sit on two 

or more Board committees for the duration of their tenure. A Director’s 

expected time commitment is a minimum ten hours per month. Directors 

are reimbursed actual expenses or paid a per diem allowance for 

attendance at the monthly meetings.

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the 

fixed component of pay and rewards. Base pay for Senior Executives is 

reviewed annually to ensure the executive’s pay is competitive with the 

market and reflects the responsibilities of the position. An executive’s 

pay is also reviewed on promotion. There are no guaranteed base pay 

increases included in the Senior Executive terms of employment.

Executive Pay

Short Term Incentives

Executive remuneration packages include a bonus based on a 

combination of the Company achieving a pre-determined profit target 

and certain pre-determined operational targets being met. Using a 

profit target ensures variable at-risk reward is only available when 

value has been created for shareholders and when achieved profit is 

consistent with the business plan.

Each executive and senior manager with operational responsibilities 

has a Short-Term Incentive (STI) depending on the accountabilities of 

the role and impact on organisation and business unit performance. 

The Executive pay and reward framework has three components:

The maximum target bonus opportunity is 80% of base salary.

targets are achieved although the Group’s overall target may not be met.

Executives 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 interest in 

the Company to better align them with the shareholders.

The number of securities to be offered, the time at which securities may 

be offered from time to time to executives, and the price and terms of 

payment are 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.

Vesting of rights or shares under this Plan requires the achievement of 

appropriate performance or service hurdles to be determined by the Board:

(i)  Service condition of a specified period; or

(ii)  The Company’s performance as measured by earnings per 

share (EPS), being the EPS for the relevant Measurement Period 

as determined by the Board having regard to the financial 

statements. Certain growth in EPS for the shares must be 

attained in respect of each Measurement Period and pro-rata in 

respect of the initial Measurement Period. The Company must 

achieve these performance conditions before the rights vest.

This plan provided for the Company to provide loans to executives to 

acquire shares. The maximum amount of any loan is not to exceed the 

total subscription price for the shares applied for.

Once rights have been exercised by an eligible employee (subject to 

relevant service or performance conditions being met), the Company 

may make non-refundable contributions to either fund the purchase of

Performance Income as a Proportion of Total Remuneration:

Executive Directors and executives are paid performance based bonuses based on set monetary figures, rather than proportions of their salary. 

This has led to the proportions of remuneration related to performance varying between individuals. The Remuneration Committee has set these 

bonuses to encourage achievement of specific goals that have been given a high level of importance to the future growth and profitability of the 

consolidated Group.

The Remuneration Committee will review the performance bonuses to gauge their effectiveness against achievement of the set goals, and adjust 

future years’ incentives as they see fit.

C. 

SERVICE AGREEMENTS

On appointment to the Board, all Non-Executive Directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in the form of a letter of appointment. 

The letter summarises the Board policies and terms, including compensation, relevant to the office of Director. 

Remuneration and other terms of employment for the Managing Director and the other key management personnel are also formalised in 

service agreements. Each of these agreements provide for the provision of performance-related cash bonuses, other benefits, car allowances, 

and participation, when eligible, in the BSA Limited Option Plan and the BSA Employee Performance Rights Plan. Other major provisions of the

REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS 

During the year ended 30 June 2018, the Board continued to consider the advice obtained from Godfrey Remuneration Group (GRG) as independent 

advisor in relation to the current structure of the Executive Performance Rights Plan and to the implementation of a Fee Salary Sacrifice Plan for 

non-executive directors. The Board implemented the Fee Salary Sacrifice Plan following its approval at the 2017 AGM. No amendments have been 

made to the Executive Performance Rights Plan.

The continuing engagement of GRG during the year by the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee was based on an agreed set of protocols that 

have been followed by GRG, members of the Remuneration Committee and members of the key management personnel, governing the way in which 

remuneration recommendations would be developed by GRG and provided to non-executive members of the Remuneration Committee.

These arrangements were implemented to ensure that GRG would be able to carry out its work, including information capture and the formation of its 

recommendations free from undue influence by Executive directors or executive key management personnel about whom the recommendations may relate.

The Board undertook its own inquiries and review of the processes and procedures followed by GRG and is satisfied that their remuneration 

recommendations were made free from such influence.

The Board and Remuneration Committee confirm that GRG made remuneration recommendations within the meaning of the Corporations Act 

in respect of the structure of the Incentive Plans being considered. These remuneration recommendations were made in respect of elements of 

remuneration and were not in respect of the quantum of the incentives to be provided.

The total consideration paid by the company to GRG for the provision of the remuneration recommendations in the 2018 financial year was 

$18,500 (2017: $5,000).

are set out below.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Board of Directors has considered the position and in accordance 

with the advice received from the Audit Committee, is satisfied that

auditor; and

None of the services undermine the general principles relating to 

auditor independence as set out in Professional Statement APES

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 27.

NOTE 2 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS

2.1 New and amended accounting standards adopted by the Group

In the current year, the Group has applied a number of new and revised accounting standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) 

that are mandatorily effective for an accounting period that begins on or after 1 July 2017:

 -

 -

 -

 -

AASB 1048 Interpretation of Standards;

AASB 2016-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (AASB 112);

AASB 2016-2 Amendments to Australia Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to AASB 107; and

AASB 2017-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Further Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle

Adoption of these standards has not resulted in any material changes to the Group’s financial statements.

2.2 New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been identified as those which may impact the Group in the period of initial 

application. The Group is required to disclose known or reasonably estimable information relevant to assessing the possible impact that the application of 

the new accounting standard will have on the Group’s financial statements.

a) AASB 9 Financial Instruments

AASB 9 Financial Instruments (revised December 2014) and AASB 2014-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 

(December 2014).

This standard replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and 

measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculation of impairment on financial assets, and new general 

hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from AASB 139. The standard 

will become mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group does not intend to early adopt the standard. Retrospective 

application is required with some exceptions. Restatement of comparatives is not required, however, the comparative period can be restated if it can be 

done so without the use of hindsight.

Accordingly, the Group has undertaken an assessment of the classification and measurement impacts of the new standard and estimated the 

following impacts:

 -

 -

 -

 -

 -

the Group does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on the classification of its financial assets;

the Group does not hold any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and as such there is no impact of the new standard on financial 

liabilities;

AASB 9 will require extensive new disclosures, in particular surrounding credit risk and expected credit losses;

management are currently assessing whether any specific project finance obligations would require the recognition of expected credit losses; and

the increase in the loss allowance on financial assets is not expected to be significant.

b)           AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, AASB 2014-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 15, AASB 2015-8 

Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15, and AASB 2016-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarifications 

to AASB 15.

AASB 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining the timing and quantum of revenue recognised. It replaces existing guidance, including AASB 118 

Revenue and AASB 111 Construction Contracts. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity shall recognise revenue when control of a good or service transfers to 

a customer. This standard will become mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a 

modified retrospective approach for the adoption.

The Group assessed the potential impacts of the new standard on the business units of the Group. The following is an evaluation of potential impacts from 

adopting the new standard on future financial reporting.

Significant judgments and estimates are used in determining the impact, such as the assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and 

acceptance of claims, estimation of project completion date and assumed levels of project execution productivity. In making this assessment we have considered, 

for applicable contracts, the individual status of legal proceedings, including arbitration and litigation. The implementation project is ongoing and therefore all 

impacts are current estimates, which are subject to finalisation prior to final implementation.

Construction revenue

The contractual terms and the way in which the Group operates its construction contracts is predominantly derived from projects containing one 

performance obligation. Contracted revenue will continue to be recognised over time, however the new standard provides new requirements for variable 

consideration such as incentives, as well as accounting for claims and variations as contract modifications which all impart a higher threshold of probability 

for recognition. Revenue is currently recognised when it is probable that work performed will result in revenue whereas under the new standard, revenue is 

recognised when it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur for these modifications.

Services revenue

Services revenue arises from maintenance and other services supplied to infrastructure assets and facilities which may involve a range of services and 

processes. On adoption of AASB 15, there will be no change in the timing of recognition and measurement of revenue. As with construction revenue, 

incentives, variations and claims exist which are subject to the same higher threshold criteria of only recognising revenue to the extent it is highly probable 

that a significant reversal of revenue will not happen.

Contract claims and variations

Revenue in relation to variations, such as a change in the scope of the contract, will only be included in the transaction price when the variation is 

enforceable and the amount becomes highly probable. Variations will be recognised when client instruction has been received in line with customary 

business practice in the sector.

Revenue in relation to claims, where the Group has an enforceable right between the parties, is only included in the transaction price when the amount 

claimable becomes highly probable. This is a higher threshold than is required by current accounting standards.

In making this assessment, the Group considers a number of factors including nature of the claim, formal or informal acceptance by the customer of the 

validity of the claim, stage of negotiations, legal opinion on the enforceability of the claim under the contract, or the historical outcome of similar claims to 

determine whether the ”highly probable” threshold has been met.

Impact on transition – Contract claims and variations:

As a result of the change to a higher threshold of approval of claims or variations and the highly probable threshold for the estimation of the amount to be 

recognised as revenue, under AASB 15 it is estimated that there will be an adjustment to opening retained earnings at 1 July 2018 of $4.5 million after tax.

Tender costs & contract costs

Costs incurred during the tender/bid process will be expensed, unless they are incremental to obtaining the contract and the Group expects to recover 

those costs or where they are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained.

Impact on transition – Tender costs and contract costs:

As a result under AASB 15 there will be an estimated adjustment to opening retained earnings at 1 July 2018 of $3.5 million after tax.

36

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 2 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS (CONTINUED)

Conclusion

The expectation is that the above adjustments, across all controlled entities, are accounted for as a cumulative catch up on the original contract under AASB 

15. Whilst the Group’s analysis is still on going, based on the current assessment an adjustment in reserves attributable to BSA shareholders and to non-

controlling interest to the opening balance at 1 July 2018 will be recognised.

Transition

The Group plans to adopt AASB 15 using the cumulative effect method, with the effect of initially applying this standard recognised at the date of initial 

application (i.e. 1 July 2018). As a result, under AASB 15 there will be an adjustment to the opening balance of the Group’s equity.

c) 

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 Leases specifies how to recognise, measure and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to 

recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for almost all leases. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to 

classify leases as finance or operating leases. AASB 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and replaces AASB 117 

Leases and the related interpretations.

As at the reporting date, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of $9.7 million, refer to Note 26: Capital and Leasing Commitments. 

The Group manages its owned and leased assets to ensure there is an appropriate level of equipment to meet its current obligations and to tender for 

new work. The decision as to whether to lease or purchase an asset is dependent on a broad range of considerations at the time including financing, risk 

management and operational strategies following the anticipated completion of a project.

Some of the operating leases currently held expire prior to the implementation of the standard and decisions on future leases will be made as projects are 

tendered for. As such, the Group has not finalised its quantification of the effect of the new standard, however the following impacts are expected:

 -

the total assets and liabilities on the balance sheet will increase with a decrease in total net assets, due to the reduction of the capitalised asset 

being on a straight line basis whilst the liability reduces by the principal amount of repayments. Net current assets will show a decrease due to an 

element of the liability being disclosed as a current liability;

 -

 -

the straight-line operating lease expense will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease 

liabilities;

interest expenses will increase due to the unwinding of the effective interest rate implicit in the lease. Interest expense will be greater earlier in a 

leases life due to the higher principal value causing profit variability over the course of a lease life. This effect may be partially mitigated due to a 

number of leases held in the Group at different stages of their terms; and

 -

repayment of the principal portion of all lease liabilities will be classified as financing activities.

d) 

Other new accounting standards

The following new or amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:

 -

 -

 -

 -

AASB 2014-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards: Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint 

Venture;

AASB 2017-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Transfers of Investment Property, Annual Improvements 2014-2016 Cycle and 

Other Amendments;

AASB Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration; and

AASB Interpretation 23 Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments , AASB 2017-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Uncertainty 

over Income Tax Treatments.

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

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 purpose 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 consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 29 August 2018.

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 2 or value in use in AASB 136.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair 

value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

•  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

•  Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

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.

38

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

The parent entity carries its investment in subsidiaries at cost less impairment (if any).

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.

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 12 Income Taxes and AASB 19 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 (see note 3.12); 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 AASB.

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.

39

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports 

provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see 

above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition 

date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

3.5 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.

The Group’s policy for goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate and a joint venture is described at note 3.6 below.

3.6 Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy 

decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. 

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. 

Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require 

unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of 

accounting, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with AASB 5. Under 

the equity method, an investment in an associate or 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 associate or joint venture. When the Group's share of 

losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Group's interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, 

form part of the Group's net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are 

recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate 

or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group's share of 

the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the 

investment. Any excess of the Group's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, 

is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. 

The requirements of AASB 139 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in 

an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance 

with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) 

with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is 

recognised in accordance with AASB 136 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. 

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or a joint venture, or when the 

investment is classified as held for sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former associate or joint venture and the retained interest is a financial 

asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance 

with AASB 139. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair 

value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a part interest in the associate or joint venture is included in the determination of the gain 

or loss on disposal of the associate or joint venture. 

40

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate or joint venture on the 

same basis as would be required if that associate or joint venture had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously 

recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate or joint venture would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or 

liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued. 

The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint 

venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no remeasurement to fair value upon such changes in ownership interests. 

When the Group reduces its ownership interest in an associate or a joint venture but the Group continues to use the equity method, the Group reclassifies to 

profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognised in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership 

interest if that gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. 

When a group entity transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint 

venture are recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related 

to the Group.

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

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.

41

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.8 Construction contracts and work in progress

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are 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 costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the 

estimated total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. 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 the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is 

probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

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 3.10 below). Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the 

periods in which they are incurred.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of 

the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in 

the period in which they are incurred.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is 

recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which 

economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

3.10 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

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 29.

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.

3.13 Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

3.13.1 Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and 

Other Comprehensive Income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. 

The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

3.13.2 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.

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.13.4 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 17. 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

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.  An 

impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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.

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.

45

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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’.

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.

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

3.21 Derivative financial instruments

From time to time 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 33.

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 judgments, 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 within the contract estimates. Variations in contract work and claims are 

included to the extent that the amount can be measured reliably and its receipt is considered probable. Claims and variations can be both approved and not 

approved by the customer. Where the claim and/or variation are not approved by the customer, estimates are made in relation to the claim and/or variation 

position and management assesses the recovery at each reporting period.

4.1.2 Recoverability 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 2018 was $15,185,000 (30 June 2017: $15,185,000).

See note 15 for details.

4.1.3 Payroll Tax Liability

Following the settlement of the NSW Office of State Revenue (OSR), BSA has entered into a repayment plan with the NSW OSR. The provision for this matter 

at the end of FY18 stands at $3,421,000 (FY:$5,236,000).

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 17. 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 47 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 3.0% for BSA | Build, which includes both BSA | Build | Fire and BSA | Build | HVAC. The cash flows are discounted using the 

weighted average cost of capital with mid-year discounting.

At 30 June 2018 the company has assessed both internal and external indicators of impairment, including completing the value-in-use models, and 

did not identify any indicators of impairment.

The key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations as at 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 were as follows: 

-  growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period: 3.0% for BSA | Build (2017: 3.0%);

-  pre-tax discount rate: 12.5% (2017: 12.5%) and

-  divisional Revenue, EBIT, working capital adjustments and maintenance capital expenditure

Impact of possible changes to key assumptions 

Given the performance of the BSA | Build business in the year ended 30 June 2018, there is increased sensitivity of impairment to changes in the 

key inputs in the impairment model. The key assumptions in the impairment model are the discount rate, terminal growth rate percentage, and 

EBITDA percentage. Below is set out the assumptions used in the impairment model and the assumption required for there to be no headroom from 

the model to the carrying value if just that assumption was changed.

FY 2018 Management Assumptions

Breakeven Assumption

In the event of the above combined scenario occurring under a value-in-use model, management expect that action would be taken to mitigate the 

impact of one or more of the variables.

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 29 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

(a)

Employee Option Plan

The establishment of the BSA Limited Employee Option Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2004 AGM. Staff eligible to participate are those 

who are full time or permanent part-time employees of any company in the Group, including an Executive Director and Non-Executive Director of 

the company and whom the Board of Directors has sole discretion to determine to be eligible to participate but does not include a person who has a 

relevant interest in greater than 5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company. 

The exercise price and exercise period applicable to any options to be offered under the Option Plan will, at or before the time of issuing an 

invitation to eligible employees to subscribe for options, be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.

Subject to any restrictions in the Listing Rules or the Corporations Act 2001, the Board may in its absolute discretion impose on the options such other 

terms as it considers appropriate.

As soon as practicable after receipt of a valid notice of exercise of an option together with the exercise price the Company will allot the appropriate 

number of ordinary shares.  Any shares issued on the exercise of the options granted pursuant to the resolution will be officially quoted and will rank 

equally with all other shares on issue in the Company and all the rights and entitlements of the holders in respect of those shares will be identical to 

the rights and entitlements of the holders of the currently issued shares in the Company.

Options can only be exercised after three years if the employee remains in the employment of the Company and the option will then expire two 

years after this date. If the employee terminates their employment within the three years, the option is exercisable for 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 2018 (2017: 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 (2017: nil), which 

relates, to equity-settled share-based payment transactions under the Employee Option Plan.

(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 2018 (2017: 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 24(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 their acceptance, and where appropriate their 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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 29 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 with those of Company shareholders; and

Ensure the remuneration packages of employees are consistent with market practice. 

Securities may be offered under the Plan and the Board has discretion to determine who is offered the opportunity to participate.

Generally, securities are subject to a holding restriction and cannot be traded unless certain performance conditions are met or as otherwise 

specified at the time of the  relevant award after acquisition by the participant.

Rights to acquire shares will not be exercisable until the end of the final measurement period, and until those rights have satisfied all vesting conditions 

and all performance hurdles established by the Board. This is subject to a number of exceptions (including death, cessation of employment, takeovers 

and schemes of arrangement). The rights have a specified life determined by the Board. The initial grant of rights (the Grant Date) will have a life 

terminating five years after the Grant Date or such other date as determined by the Board (the Expiry Date).

Rights granted to certain participants in the initial grant will be at zero vesting value and will be subject to the following performance conditions as 

determined by the Board:

(i) 

Service conditions as determined by the Board. 

(ii)  The Company's performance as measured by earnings per share ("EPS") being the EPS for the relevant Measurement Period as determined 

by the Board having regard to the financial statements. Certain growth in EPS for the shares must be attained in respect of each 

Measurement Period and pro rata in respect of each Measurement Period and service condition of three years.

76

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 29 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 current plan company is BSA Limited ACN 088 412 748 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.

Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan to Individual Non-Executive Directors

The establishment of the BSA Fee Sacrifice Equity Plan to Individual Non-Executive Directors was approved by shareholders at the 2017 AGM. 

The plan is to establish a mechanism for Non-Executive Directors (NEDS) to acquire shares in the Company by electing to salary sacrifice a 

proportion of annual fees, on a voluntary basis that will align their interests with shareholders and does not create any financial or governance 

concerns for shareholders.

All individuals holding NED roles in the Company or a subsidiary of the Company are eligible to become participants in the Plan.

Each year, the Company intends to invite each NED to voluntarily elect to apply for rights under the Plan, to be funded by salary sacrificing a 

proportion of Annual Board fees. While the Company intends to issue invitations annually, the Board will determine at its sole discretion each year 

whether to issue an invitation.

Invitations will include such terms as the Board deems appropriate including the date of the invitation, the number of Deferred Rights that a participant 

is eligible to apply for, that the price of a Deferred Right shall be nil (ignoring the amount of the fee sacrificed), that the exercise price shall be nil, the 

period during which disposal restrictions will apply, and such other terms and conditions as the Board determines.

Deferred Rights granted under this Plan will be fully vested on the date of grant (being the date notified in a Notice of Grant)

Deferred Rights will be automatically exercised 90 days after grant but may not be exercised earlier. On exercise of a right, the Board in its discretion will 

either: a) issue shares to Participants or b) arrange for shares to be acquired for the benefit of Participants by the trustee of the BSA Employee Share 

Trust. The Company will contribute such funds as needed to acquire shares either on-market or a subscription to a new issue as directed by the Board. 

The shares that result from the exercise of Deferred Rights are Restricted Shares.

77

BSA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2018NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

NOTE 29 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (CONTINUED)

All shares acquired by Participants are subject to disposal restrictions that prevent disposal until the earlier of 15 years from the date of grant of rights 

and cessation of being a NED on the Board of BSA or a subsidiary of the Company (which will be specified Disposal Restrictions). During the period the 

Special Disposal Restrictions apply, the Restricted Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed. The Company may impose a CHESS holding lock on 

Restricted Shares to ensure the participant does not sell them earlier than permitted under the Rules. The Company will advise each participant when it 

considers the specified disposal restrictions cease to apply.

Participants must not enter an arrangement with anyone if it would have the effect of limiting their exposure to risk in relation to Deferred Rights or 

Restricted Shares.

Participants will be treated in a manner that does not advantage or disadvantage them compared with other shareholders in the event of bonus issues, 

rights issues and capital reorganisation.

If a participant ceases to be a NED of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company any unexercised Deferred Rights will be exercised automatically 

the day following cessation, and any Restricted Shares held by a Participant that are subject to Specified Disposal Restrictions will cease to be 

subject to such restrictions on the day of cessation unless otherwise determined by the Board and notified to the Participant in the Invitation.

NOTE 33 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(a)

General objectives, policies and processes

In common with all other businesses, the Group is exposed to financial risks that arise. This note describes the Group’s objectives, policies and 

processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect of these risks is presented 

throughout these financial statements. 

There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing 

those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this note.

The principal financial instruments from which financial instrument risk arises are:

-  Trade receivables;  

-  Cash at bank; 

-  Bank overdrafts; 

-  Trade and other payables; and 

-  Borrowings.

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and polices and, whilst retaining ultimate 

responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the 

objectives and policies to the Group's finance function. The Group's risk management policies and objectives are therefore designed to minimise 

the potential impacts of these risks on the results of the Group where such impacts may be material. The Board receives monthly reports from the 

Finance Department through which it reviews the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the objectives and policies it sets. The overall 

objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting the Group's competitiveness and flexibility. 

Further details regarding these policies are set out below.

(b)

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 4% of gross monetary assets at balance date. Concentration of credit risk to 

any other counterparty did not exceed 7% 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 2018

NOTE 33 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. As at 30 June 2018 there were no bank borrowings.

NOTE 34 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 were maintained at a healthy position at 30 June 2018. It is the Board's intention to monitor gearing levels going forward to ensure 

flexibility. There have been no 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.

NOTE 36 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

(i)  Guarantees established in favour of National Australia Bank Limited and Swiss Re International SE for guarantees issued to various clients for satisfactory 

contract performance, secured by cross guarantees from all wholly owned group members amounting to $41,242,000 (2017:$42,670,000).

(ii)   On 27 June 2016 the Company received a certificate of finding under section 27J of the Industry Research and Development Act 1986 from 

Innovation Australia. The certificate of finding outlines Innovation Australia’s view that certain activities claimed in respect of the 2012, 2013 

and 2014 years by BSA as Research and Development are not “Core R&D activities” for the purpose of the Income Tax Assessment Acts.

The section 30C internal review of the section 27J finding filed by BSA has confirmed the original findings. The matter is now being taken to the 

Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). 

In the event that BSA is unsuccessful in challenging the finding through appropriate mechanisms, the Company may be denied tax credits 

previously claimed totalling approximately $2m (tax effected) of tax relating to prior year's tax concessions claimed.

Based on expert advice the directors are of the opinion that the activities fall within the legislative requirements for R&D claims to be made 

under the Income Tax Assessment Acts, that the documents submitted to Innovation Australia support and are consistent with the claims made 

and that therefore BSA is in a defendable position against the Innovation Australia finding under s27J.

 Accordingly, BSA has not made any provision in relation to this matter in these financial statements

(iiI)   Following the settlement of the NSW OSR issue, BSA is currently working with other State Revenue Authorities on outstanding matters. In 

relation to these discussions, BSA has made provisions at 30 June 2018 based on current available information.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members of BSA Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  BSA  Limited  (the  “Company”)  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting 
policies, and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001, including:  

(i)  

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at  30 June 2018 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and 

(ii)  

complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial 
Report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  auditor 
independence  requirements  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001  and  the  ethical  requirements  of  the 
Accounting  Professional  and  Ethical  Standards  Board’s  APES  110  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional 
Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have 
also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We  confirm that the independence  declaration required  by  the  Corporations Act 2001, which  has 
been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as 
at the time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters 

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in  our  audit  of  the  financial  report  for  the  current  period.  These  matters  were  addressed  in  the 
context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we 
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Other Information 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not 
include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, 
based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of 
the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether 
due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is 
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 
an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material 
misstatement  when  it  exists.  Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered 
material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the 
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due 
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 
intentional  omissions, 
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
from  error,  as 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

forgery, 

  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  

 

Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of 
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related  to  events  or  conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Group’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern.  If  we  conclude  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists,  we  are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.  Our  conclusions  are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures,  and  whether  the  financial  report  represents  the  underlying  transactions  and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the 
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. 
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We 
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control 
that we identify during our audit. 

We  also  provide  the  directors  with  a  statement  that  we  have  complied  with  relevant  ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them  all relationships and other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related 
safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should  not  be  communicated  in  our  report because  the  adverse  consequences  of  doing  so  would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 17 to 24 of the Directors’ Report for 
the year ended 30 June 2018.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of BSA Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2018, complies 
with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

The  directors  of  the  Company  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  presentation  of  the 
Remuneration  Report  in  accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
