chairman’s 
message

On behalf of my fellow Directors 
and the management team, it is 
my pleasure to present the Annual 
Report for the year ended 30 June 
2016.

I am pleased to note that following 
the marketing, branding and cost 
out strategies implemented over 
the past two years, profit and 
earnings continue to grow. Despite 
tough trading conditions impacted 
by the closure of the Dick Smith 
Electronic stores and subsequent 
stock clearances, after tax profit 
increased by 6% to $1.75m with 
earnings per share growing by 10% 
to 3.3 cents.

Whilst sales value decreased by 
approximately 3%, foreign exchange 
hedging strategies and a continued 
focus on savings in administration, 
distribution and selling expenses 
enabled the Company to again 
record these improved results. 
Additionally, we continue to source 
new leading product agencies 
which can expand our reach and 
smooth our seasonal trading skew.

Notwithstanding the buyback 
during the year of 4.1m shares with 
a cash outlay of $746,000 and the 
payment of a one cent dividend in 
September 2015 totalling $557,000, 
the Company’s Balance Sheet 
remains strong with zero net debt 
at balance date and net tangible 
assets per share increasing by 12%.  

It has been pleasing to see a 
number of significant initiatives 
bear fruit during the year, including 
successful ranging as key accessory 
supplier to leading telco retailers, 
expanding our reach in New 
Zealand and initial export inroads 
into Asia and South Africa with our 
3SIXT brand. We are encouraged by 
the prospects of our 3SIXT product 
range for international relevance 
and reach.

The Company continues to seek 
organic growth through the 
introduction of new, innovative 
products and increased market 
penetration and is also continuing 
to assess synergistic acquisition 
opportunities.

An increased final dividend of 1.25 
cents per share was declared and 
paid in September.

I would like to thank my fellow 
directors for their counsel and input 
and, on behalf of the Board, I would 
also like to thank our dedicated 
CEO Alan Sparks, CFO Chris Barnes, 
senior managers Craig Kingshott, 
Dave Clark and his NZ team and all 
the rest of our management team 
and staff.

broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. 
The remuneration structures take into account:

• 

• 

the capability and experience of the key management 
personnel;

the key management personnel’s ability to control 
performance;

• 

the consolidated entity’s performance including: 

 – the consolidated entity’s earnings; and

 – the growth in share price and delivering of constant 

returns on shareholder wealth;

the amount of incentives within each key management 
person’s remuneration.

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable 
remuneration including short and long-term performance-
based incentives.

The remuneration committee assesses the appropriateness 
of the nature and amount of remuneration of non-executive 
directors and executives on a periodic basis by reference to 
the relevant employment market conditions, with the overall 
objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the 
retention of a high performing director and executive team.

Remuneration strategy

Cellnet Group Limited’s remuneration strategy is designed 
to attract, motivate and retain employees and non-executive 
directors by identifying and rewarding high performers 
and recognising the contribution of each employee to the 
continued growth and success of the consolidated entity.

To this end, key objectives of the Company’s reward 
framework are to ensure that remuneration practices:

There are no vesting conditions attached to the options. 
Options are exercisable at any time from the grant date to 
the expiry date, being 31 October 2017.

5.  Executive remuneration arrangements and the link to 

company performance

5.1  Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration 
(which is calculated on a total cost basis and 
includes any fringe benefits tax charges related to 
employee benefits including motor vehicles) as 
well as employer contributions to superannuation 
funds. Remuneration levels are reviewed annually 
by the Board.

•  are aligned to the consolidated entity’s business strategy;

5.2  Variable remuneration – short term incentive (STI) 

•  offer competitive remuneration benchmarked against the 

external market;

•  provides strong linkage between the individual and the 
performance and rewards of the consolidated entity.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, 
the structure of non-executive director and executive 
remuneration is separate and distinct.

4.  Non-executive director remuneration arrangements 

Total remuneration for all Non-Executive Directors, last voted 
upon by shareholders at the 1999 AGM, is not to exceed 
$300,000 per annum.

The Chairman’s base fee is $54,500 per annum and Non-
Executive Directors’ base fees are presently $50,000 per 
annum. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance 
related remuneration. Non-executives may, at the discretion 
of the Remuneration Committee and subject to shareholder 
approval, receive compensation in the form of share options. 
No options were issued to Non-Executive Directors during 
the current financial year.

and long term incentive (LTI)

Performance linked remuneration includes 
both STI and LTI and is designed to reward key 
management personnel for meeting or exceeding 
their financial and personal objectives. The STI is 
an ‘at risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash.

5.3  STI bonus

The consolidated entity operates an annual STI 
program that applies to executives and awards a 
cash bonus subject to the attainment of clearly 
defined consolidated entity, business unit and 
individual measures. Actual STI payments awarded 
to each executive depends on the extent to which 
specific targets set at the beginning of each six 
months are met. The targets consist of a number 
of key performance indicators (KPIs) covering 
financial and non-financial, corporate and individual 
measures of performance. A summary of these 
measures and weightings are set out below.

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16directors’ report

These performance indicators were chosen as 
they represent the key drivers for the short term 
success of the business and provide a framework 
for delivering long-term value.

On an annual basis, after consideration of 
performance against KPI’s the Chief Executive 
Officer, in line with his responsibilities, determines 
the amount, if any, of the short term incentive to 
be paid to each KMP. On an annual basis, after 
consideration of the KPI’s, the board will determine 
the amount, if any, of the short term incentive to 
be paid to the Chief Executive Officer.

At the end of the financial year the Board assesses 
the actual performance of the consolidated 
entity and individual against the KPI’s set at the 
beginning of the financial year. A percentage 
of the pre-determined maximum amount is 
awarded depending on results, between 0% and 
100% for reaching target performance for non-
financial objectives, and uncapped beyond 100% 
in respect of financial performance objectives. No 
bonus is awarded where performance falls below 
the minimum. The following table outlines the 
proportion of maximum STI that was earned and 
forfeited in relation to the 2016 financial year.

Option Plan which is designed to provide 
incentives to the Executives of the consolidated 
entity. The plan was approved by shareholders at 
the Annual General Meeting held on 18 December 
2007. 

Under the plan the Board has the discretion 
to issue options to Executives as long as the 
issue does not result in the Executive owning or 
controlling the exercise of voting power attached 
to 5% or more of all shares then on issue. Each 
option is convertible to one ordinary share. The 
exercise price of the option is determined by the 
Board.

The rules governing the operation of the plan 
may be amended, waived or modified, at any time 
by resolution of the Board provided there is no 
reduction of rights to Executives in the plan. If an 
amendment reduces the rights of Executives in the 
plan, it requires written consent of three-quarters 
of affected Executives.

The plan may be terminated or suspended at any 
time by a resolution of the Board, provided the 
termination or suspension does not materially 
adversely affect the rights of persons holding 
shares issued under the plan at that time. No 
options were issued in the current year to 
executive directors (2015: Nil).

LTl Plan

The Board has established a Long Term Incentive 
Plan which is designed to provide incentives to the 
Executives of the consolidated entity. The plan was 
approved by shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting held on 18 December 2007. 

The purpose and rules of the plan are the same as 
the Executive Share Option Plan described above, 
except that there is no prohibition on issuing 
shares if it would result in an Executive owning 
(legally or beneficially) or controlling the exercise 
of voting power attached to 5% or more of all 
shares then on issue. No shares were issued under 
the LTI plan during the 2016 year (2015: Nil).

Performance Rights Plan

On 24 October 2014 at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a performance rights 
plan.

Under this plan, performance rights are issued to key management personnel. The rights deliver ordinary shares 
to key management personnel (at no cost to the executive) where the performance hurdle in relation to those 
performance rights is met. ollowing the exercise of a Right, the Company must, within such time as the Board 
determines, issue or allocate to or acquire on market for the person exercising the Right, the number of shares in 
respect of which the Right has been exercised, credited as fully paid. No rights were issued to KMP under this plan 
during the current year (2015: 2,100,000). Details of the rights granted to KMP during the comparative year are 
summarised as follows:

Conditions attached to performance rights:

* Rights vest subject to achievement of a total shareholder return (TSR) 
performance hurdle. Rights will vest if the TSR over the performance 
period, being 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017, has increased by at least 20% 
per annum on a compounding basis. TSR will be calculated by the Board 
as the difference in share price from $0.25 per share over the performance 
period, plus the value of shares earned from notionally reinvesting dividends 
received over this period, expressed as a percentage of the share price of 
$0.25. The closing share price is calculated as the volume weighted average 
sale price of shares on the ASX for the 10 trading days up to and including 
the date that is 10 trading days following the date FY17 audited results 
are released to the market. Employees must remain in service with the 
company throughout the measurement period for the rights to vest..

^ Rights vest subject to achievement of profit before tax (PBT) performance hurdles in respect of each of the 2015, 2016 and 2017 financial years. Each annual PBT performance hurdle is 
achieved if actual PBT is equal to or greater than 120% of Budgeted PBT. Actual PBT means the profit before tax disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the relevant 
performance period as adjusted in the Board’s discretion for one-off, abnormal and non-recurring items or such other matters that the Board considers fair and reasonable. Budgeted PBT 
means the profit before tax set out in any budget approved by the Board from time to time for the relevant performance period. The rights are subject to a cumulative vesting condition if 
a PBT hurdle in one or more periods is not achieved. The last date for measurement is the date which is 30 days subsequent to the release of 30 June 2017 audited results to the market. 
Employees must remain in service with the company throughout the measurement period for the rights to vest.

Shares issued on exercise of vested rights are held in escrow and are not transferable until 30 June 2017.

5.5  STI structure

The Board considers that the above performance-linked remuneration structure is appropriate at this time. It 
provides both short-term focus on operating performance and longer term focus on share price growth.

Improving the performance of the operations was the main focus in setting the financial year 2016 short-term 
incentive.

5.6  Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In considering the consolidated entity’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board has regard to 
the following indices in respect of the current financial year and previous financial years.

Net profit/(loss) attributable to equity 
holders of the Company

6.  Executive contractual arrangements

It is the consolidated entity’s policy that service contracts for key management personnel are unlimited in term but capable 
of termination as per the relevant period of notice and that the consolidated entity retains the right to terminate the 
contract immediately, by making payment that is commensurate with pay in lieu of notice.

The service contract outlines the components of remuneration paid to the key management person but does not 
prescribe how remuneration levels are modified year to year. Remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into 
account cost-of-living changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes 
required to meet the principles of the remuneration policy.

Standard KMP termination payment provisions apply to all current members of the KMP, including the Chief Executive 
Officer. The standards KMP provisions are as follows:

Payment in lieu 
of notice

Treatment of STI on 
termination

Treatment of LTI on

described in the directors’ report.

2.  Significant accounting policies

(a)  Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial 
report, which has been prepared in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report is presented in Australian 
dollars and has been prepared on the historical 
cost basis, except for derivative financial 
instruments which are measured at fair value. 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Report) Instrument 2016/191 dated 1 April 2016 
and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts 
in the financial report and directors’ report 
have been rounded off to the nearest thousand 
dollars, unless otherwise stated.

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.

Compliance with IFRS

The financial report complies with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by 
the International Accounting Standards Board.

Relevant accounting standards and 
interpretations that have recently been issued or 
amended but are not yet effective and have not 
been adopted for the year are as follows:

(i)  Application of new accounting standards

No new or revised standards considered as 
having a material effect on the consolidated 
entity have become effective for the first time 
in preparing this financial report.

(ii)   Accounting standards and interpretations 

issued but not yet effective

Relevant accounting standards and 
interpretations that have recently been issued 
or amended but are not yet effective and 
have not been adopted for the year are as 
follows:

1 Jul 2019

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of 
these Standards and Interpretations in future 
years may have the following impacts:

AASB 9 – This revised standard provides 
guidance on the classification and 
measurement of financial assets, which is the 
first phase of a multi-phase project to replace 
AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement. Under the new guidance, a 
financial asset is to be measured at amortised 
cost only if it is held within a business model 
whose objective is to collect contractual cash 
flows and the contractual terms of the asset 
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that 
are payments solely of principal and interest 
(on the principal amount outstanding). All other 
financial assets are to be measured at fair value. 
Changes in the fair value of investments in 
equity securities that are not part of a trading 
activity may be reported directly in equity, but 
upon realisation those accumulated changes 

24

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16financial report

•  Lease liabilities are accounted for on a 
similar basis as other financial liabilities, 
whereby interest expense is recognised 
in respect of the liability and the carrying 
amount of the liability is reduced to reflect 
lease payments made.

Although the directors anticipate that the adoption 
of AASB 16 may have an impact on the Group’s 
accounting for operating leases, it is impracticable 
at this stage to provide a reasonable estimate of 
such impact.

Other than as noted above, the adoption of the 
various Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations and IFRSs on issue but not yet 
effective will not impact the Group’s accounting 
policies. However, the pronouncements may result 
in changes to information currently disclosed 
in the financial statements. The Group does not 
intend to adopt any of these pronouncements 
before their effective dates.

(c)  Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise 
the financial statements of Cellnet Group Ltd 
and its subsidiaries (as outlined in note 23) as 
at and for the year ended 30 June each year 
(the consolidated entity). Interests in associates 
are equity accounted and are not part of the 
consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all those 
entities over which the consolidated entity has 
the power to govern the financial and operating 
policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. 
The existence and effect of potential voting rights 
that are currently exercisable or convertible are 
considered when assessing whether the Group 
controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are 
prepared for the same reporting period as the 
parent company, using consistent accounting 
policies. In preparing the consolidated financial 
statements, all intercompany balances and 
transactions, income and expenses and profit and 
losses resulting from intra-group transactions have 
been eliminated in full.

Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and 
losses or income and expenses arising from intra-
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the 
consolidated financial statements.

25

in value are not recycled to the profit or loss. 
Changes in the fair value of all other financial 
assets carried at fair value are reported in the 
profit or loss. The Group is yet to assess the 
impact of the new standard. In the second 
phase of the replacement project, the revised 
standard incorporates amended requirements 
for the classification and measurement of 
financial liabilities. The new requirements 
pertain to liabilities at fair value through profit 
or loss, whereby the portion of the change in 
fair value related to changes in the entity’s own 
credit risk is presented in other comprehensive 
income rather than profit or loss. There is not 
expected to be a significant impact on the 
Group’s accounting for financial liabilities, 
as the Group’s financial liabilities at fair value 
through profit or loss are not exposed to 
material risk of change in the group’s own 
credit risk. Recent amendments as part of the 
project introduced a new hedge accounting 
model to simplify hedge accounting 
requirements and more closely align hedge 
accounting with risk management activities. 
There will be no impact on the Group’s 
accounting, as the Group does not utilise 
hedge accounting.

AASB 15 – This new standard replaces AASB 
118 and AASB 111. It contains a single model 
that applies to contracts with customers and 
two approaches to recognising revenue. The 
model features a contract-based five step 
analysis of transactions to determine whether, 
how much and when revenue is recognised. 
The Group does not expect the new standard 
to have any material impact on the timing of 
recognition of its revenues in the initial period 
of application.

AASB 16 – The new standard will replace AASB 
117: Leases and introduces a single lessee 
accounting model that will require a lessee 
to recognise right-of-use assets and lease 
liabilities for all leases with a term of more 
than 12 months, unless the underlying asset 
is of low value. Right-of-use assets are initially 
measured at their cost and lease liabilities are 
initially measured on a present value basis. 
Subsequent to initial recognition:

•  Right-of-use assets are accounted for 

on a similar basis to non-financial assets, 
whereby the right-of-use asset is accounted 
for in accordance with a cost model unless 
the underlying asset is accounted for on a 
revaluation basis; and

(d)  Foreign currency

(ii)  Leased assets

(i)  Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation 
currency of Cellnet Group Limited and its 
Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars 
($). The functional currencies of the New 
Zealand and Hong Kong subsidiaries are New 
Zealand dollars and United States dollars 
respectively, which are translated to the 
presentation currency as described in (iii) 
below.

(ii)  Transactions and balances 

Transactions in foreign currencies are 
translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling 
at the date of the transaction. Monetary 
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign 
currencies at the balance date are translated 
to Australian dollars at the foreign exchange 
rate ruling at reporting date. Foreign 
exchange differences arising on translation 
are recognised in net income. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are 
measured in terms of historical cost in a 
foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Leases in terms of which the consolidated entity 
assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of 
ownership are classified as finance leases.

(iii)  Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to net income on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives 
of each part of an item of property, plant and 
equipment. The estimated useful lives in the 
current and comparative periods are as follows:

Leasehold improvements

Plant and equipment

Leased plant and equipment

3–5 years

2–3 years

3–5 years

The residual value, the useful life and the 
depreciation method applied to an asset are 
reassessed at least annually.

(iv)  Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment 
is derecognised upon disposal or when 
no further future economic benefits are 
expected from its use or disposal.

(iii)  Financial statements of foreign operations

(f)  Intangible assets 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations 
are translated to Australian dollars at foreign 
exchange rates ruling at the balance date. 
The revenues and expenses of foreign 
operations are translated to Australian dollars 
at rates approximating the foreign exchange 
rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. 
Foreign exchange differences arising on 
translation are recognised directly in a 
separate component of equity.

(e)  Property, plant and equipment

(i)  Owned assets

Items of property, plant and equipment 
are stated at cost or deemed cost less 
accumulated depreciation (see below) and 
impairment losses (see accounting policy (j)). 

Where parts of an item of property, plant and 
equipment have different useful lives, they are 
accounted for as separate items of property, 
plant and equipment.

(i)  Goodwill - Business combinations

Goodwill acquired in a business combination 
is initially measured at cost of the business 
combination being the excess of the 
consideration transferred over the fair value 
of the identifiable net assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, 
goodwill is measured at cost less any 
accumulated impairment losses.

(ii)  Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by 
the consolidated entity are stated at cost less 
accumulated amortisation (see below) and 
impairment losses (see accounting policy (j)).

(iii)  Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure on capitalised 
intangible assets is capitalised only when 
it increases the future economic benefits 
embodied in the specific asset to which it 
relates. All other expenditure is expensed as 
incurred.

26

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16financial report

(iv)  Amortisation

(j) 

Impairment

Amortisation is charged to net income on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of intangible assets unless such lives 
are indefinite. Goodwill and intangible assets 
with an indefinite useful life are systematically 
tested for impairment at each balance date. 
Other intangible assets are amortised from 
the date they are available for use over their 
estimated useful lives.

(g)  Trade and other receivables

Trade, loans and other receivables are stated 
at their amortised cost less impairment losses. 
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on 
an ongoing basis at a customer level. Individual 
debts that are known to be uncollectable are 
written off when identified. An impairment 
provision is recognised when there is objective 
evidence that the consolidated entity will not 
be able to collect the receivable. Debts which 
are aged greater than 120 days or more are 
considered as objective evidence of impairment 
and a provision of 80% is recognised. For any 
debts that are passed onto the consolidated 
entity’s solicitors for collection a provision of 
100% is recognised.

(h)  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and 
net realisable value. Net realisable value is the 
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 
business, less the estimated costs of completion 
and selling expenses. Cost is calculated using 
the average cost method and includes direct 
and allocated costs incurred in acquiring the 
inventories and bringing them to their present 
location and condition. A provision is recognised 
when there is objective evidence that the 
consolidated entity will not be able to sell the 
inventory at normal reseller pricing.

(i)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of 
financial position comprise of cash at bank and 
in hand and short term deposits with a maturity 
of 60 days or less that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject to 
insignificant risks of change in values.

The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity’s 
assets, other than inventories (see accounting policy 
(h)), trade and other receivables (see accounting 
policy (g)) and deferred tax assets (see accounting 
policy (r)), are reviewed at each balance date 
to determine whether there is any indication of 
impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s 
recoverable amount is estimated (see accounting 
policy (j) (i)).

For goodwill, intangible assets that have an indefinite 
useful life and intangible assets that are not yet 
available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated 
at each balance date.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the 
carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating 
unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment 
losses are recognised in net income.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-
generating units are allocated first to reduce the 
carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-
generating units (group of units) and then, to reduce 
the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit 
(group of units) on a pro-rata basis.

(i)  Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of assets (apart from 
receivables, inventory, and deferred tax) is 
the greater of their 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 an asset that does not generate 
largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable 
amount is determined for the cash-generating 
unit to which the asset relates.

Impairment losses, other than in respect of 
goodwill, are reversed when there is an indication 
that the impairment loss may no longer exist 
and there has been a change in the estimate 
used to determine the recoverable amount. An 
impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not 
reversed.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent 
that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed 
the carrying amount that would have been 
determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if 
no impairment loss had been recognised.

(k)  Share capital

(ii)  Long-term service benefits

The consolidated entity’s net obligation in 
respect of long-term service benefits is the 
amount of future benefit that employees 
have earned in return for their service in the 
current and prior periods. The obligation is 
calculated using expected future increases 
in wage and salary rates including related 
on-costs and expected settlement dates, and 
is discounted using the rates attached to high 
quality corporate bonds at the balance date 
which have maturity dates approximating the 
terms of the consolidated entity’s obligations..

(iii)  Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, 
salaries and annual leave that are expected 
to be settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date represent present obligations 
resulting from employees’ services provided 
to reporting date, and are calculated 
using undiscounted amounts based on 
remuneration wage and salary rates that 
the consolidated entity expects to pay as at 
reporting date including related on-costs, 
such as worker’s remuneration insurance 
and payroll tax. Amounts not expected to be 
wholly settled within 12 months are carried 
at a net present value determined in the 
same manner as long service leave benefits 
described in note 2(m)(ii). Expenses for non-
accumulating sick leave are recognised when 
the leave is taken and are measured at the 
rates paid or payable.

(n)  Share based payment transactions

The consolidated entity provides incentives to 
KMP in the form of share based payments. There 
are currently share based payment plans in place 
for the KMP. The cost of share based payments 
with KMP is measured by reference to the fair 
value of the equity instrument at the date at 
which they are granted (refer note 20 for further 
details).

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

(l)  Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised 
initially at fair value of the consideration received 
less related transaction costs. Subsequent to 
initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings 
are stated at amortised cost with any difference 
between cost and redemption value being 
recognised in net income over the period of the 
borrowings on an effective interest basis.

(m) Provisions and employee leave benefits

(i)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the 
consolidated entity has a present obligation 
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that an outflow of 
resources embodying economic benefits 
will be required to settle the obligation and a 
reliable estimate can be made of the amount 
of the obligation.

When the consolidated entity expects some 
or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for 
example under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate 
asset but only when the reimbursement is 
virtually certain. The expense relating to any 
provision is presented in net income net of 
any reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present 
value of management’s best estimate of the 
expenditure required to settle the present 
obligation at the balance date using a 
discounted cash flow methodology. The 
risks specific to the provision are factored 
into the cash flows and as such a risk-
free government bond rate relative to the 
expected life of the provision is used as a 
discount rate. If the effect of the time value of 
money is material, provisions are discounted 
using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the 
time value of money and the risks specific to 
the liability.

28

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16(o)  Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their 
amortised cost. Trade payables are non-
interest bearing and are normally settled on 
average between 30 day and 45 day terms. 
They represent liabilities for goods and services 
provided to the consolidated entity prior to the 
end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise 
when the consolidated entity becomes obliged 
to make future payments in respect of the 
purchase of these goods and services.

(p)  Revenue 

Goods sold and services rendered

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised 
in net income when the significant risks and 
rewards of ownership have been transferred 
to the customer. This transfer generally occurs 
when the goods are delivered to the customer. 
Revenue from the provision of warehousing 
services to external parties is recognised as the 
service is provided. No revenue is recognised 
if there are significant un ertainties regarding 
recovery of the consideration due, the costs 
incurred or to be incurred cannot be measured 
reliably, there is a risk of return of goods or there 
is continuing managerial involvement with the 
goods.

Interest income is recognised in net income as 
it accrues, using the effective interest method. 
Dividend income is recognised in net income on 
the date the entity’s right to receive payments is 
established.

(q)  Leases

(i)  Operating lease payments

Payments made under operating leases 
are recognised in net income on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease. Lease 
incentives received are recognised in net 
income as an integral part of the total lease 
expense and spread over the lease term.

(ii)  Finance leases

Finance leases, which transfer to the 
consolidated entity substantially all the risks 
and benefits incidental to ownership of the 
leased item are capitalised at the inception of 
the lease at fair value of the leased asset or, 

financial report

if lower, at the present value of the minimum 
lease payments. Minimum lease payments 
are apportioned between the finance charge 
and the reduction of the outstanding liability. 
The finance charge is allocated to each 
period during the lease term so as to produce 
a constant periodic rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability. Finance 
charges are recognised as an expense in net 
income.

(r)  Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current 
and prior periods are measured at the amount 
expected to be recovered from or paid to the 
taxation authorities based on the current period’s 
taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used 
to compute the amount are those that are 
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting 
date.

Deferred tax is provided using the statement 
of financial position method, providing for 
temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for 
taxation purposes. The following temporary 
differences are not provided for - initial 
recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of 
assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting 
nor taxable profit, and differences relating to 
investments in subsidiaries to the extent that 
they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable 
future. The amount of deferred tax provided is 
based on the expected manner of realisation or 
settlement of the carrying amount of assets and 
liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits 
will be available against which the asset can 
be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to 
the extent that it is no longer probable that the 
related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities 
are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists 
to set off current tax assets against current tax 
liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities 
relate to the same taxable entity and the same 
taxation authority.

29

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16Notes to the financial statements
2.  Significant accounting policies  continued 

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian 
resident subsidiaries have formed a tax-
consolidated entity with effect from 1 July 
2003 and are therefore taxed as a single entity 
from that date. The head entity within the tax-
consolidated entity is Cellnet Group Limited.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax 
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from 
temporary differences of the members of the 
tax-consolidated entity are recognised in the 
separate financial statements of the members of 
the tax-consolidated entity using the ‘separate 
taxpayer’ within the consolidated entity approach. 
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities 
are measured by reference to the carrying 
amounts in the separate financial statements of 
each entity and the tax values applied under tax 
consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and 
deferred tax assets arising from unused tax 
losses or unused tax credits of the subsidiaries 
are assumed by the head entity in the tax 
consolidated entity and are recognised as 
amounts payable / (receivable) to / (from) 
other entities in the tax-consolidated entity in 
conjunction with any tax funding arrangement 
amounts (refer below). Any difference between 
these amounts is recognised by the Company as 
an equity contribution or distribution.

The Company recognises deferred tax assets 
arising from unused tax losses and unused tax 
credits of the tax-consolidated entity to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits 
of the tax-consolidated entity will be available 
against which the asset can be utilised. Any 
subsequent period adjustments to deferred tax 
assets arising from unused tax losses and unused 
tax credits as a result of revised assessments of 
the probability of recoverability are recognised by 
the head entity only.

Nature of tax funding arrangements

The head entity, in conjunction with other 
members of the tax-consolidated entity, has 
entered into a tax funding arrangement which 
sets out the funding obligations of members 
of the tax-consolidated entity in respect of tax 
amounts. The tax funding arrangements require 
payments to / (from) the head entity equal to 
the current tax liability / (asset) assumed by the 

head entity and any tax-loss or tax credit related 
deferred tax asset assumed by the head entity, 
resulting in the head entity recognising an inter-
entity payable / (receivable) equal in amount to 
the tax liability / (asset) assumed. The inter-entity 
payable / (receivable) is at call.

Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are 
payable as per the tax funding arrangement and 
reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligation 
to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant 
tax authorities.

(s)  Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net 
of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), 
except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In these 
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 
the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the 
amount of GST included. The net amount of 
GST recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant 
taxation authority is included as a current asset or 
liability in the statement of financial position.

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

(t)  Accounting estimates and judgements

Management discussed with the Audit and Risk 
Management Committee the development, 
selection and disclosure of the consolidated 
entity’s critical accounting judgements and 
estimates and the application of these policies 
and estimates. The estimates and judgements 
that have a significant risk of causing a material 
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next financial year are 
discussed below.

Impairment losses for trade receivables and stock 
on hand

Note 11 contains information about the 
assumptions and their risk factors relating to 
trade receivable impairment losses and note 
7 discloses the amount of stock that has been 

30

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16scrapped throughout the course of the year, or 
has been written down to net realisable value in 
accordance with the policy outlined in note 2 (h).

Share based payments

The consolidated entity measures the cost of 
equity-settled transactions with employees 
by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are granted. 
The fair value is determined by management 
using either a binomial model or, where 
applicable, a monte-carlo simulation model. The 
related assumptions are detailed in note 20. The 
accounting estimates and assumptions relating to 
equity-settled share-based payments would have 
no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities within the next annual reporting period 
but may impact expenses and equity.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences as management considers 
that it is probable that future taxable profits will 
be available to utilise temporary differences and 
recognised tax losses. Significant judgement is 
required to determine the amount of deferred tax 
assets that can be recognised, based upon the 
likely timing and the level of future taxable profits 
over the next three years together with future 
tax planning strategies. Where the consolidated 
entity has made a taxable loss in the current or 
preceding year, a tax asset is only recognised 
to the extent that there is convincing other 
evidence that sufficient taxable profit will be 
available against which the recognised unused 
tax losses can be utilised.

(u)  Non-current assets held for sale and 

discontinuing operations 

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified 
as held for sale are measured at the lower of 
their carrying amount and fair value less costs 
to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups 
are classified as held for sale if their carrying 
amounts will be recovered through a sale 
transaction rather than through continuing use. 
This condition is regarded as met only when the 
sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal 

financial report

group is available for immediate sale in its present 
condition. Management must be committed to 
the sale, which should be expected to qualify for 
recognition as a completed sale within one year 
from the date of classification. In the statement 
of comprehensive income, income and expenses 
from discontinued operations are reported 
separately from income and expenses from 
continuing operations, down to the level of profit 
after taxes.

(v)  Earnings per share 

The consolidated entity presents basic and 
diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its 
ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by 
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders of the Company by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by 
adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders and the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects 
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential 
ordinary shares shall be treated as dilutive when 
their conversion to ordinary shares would 
decrease earnings per share or increase loss per 
share from continuing operations.

(w) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of an 
entity that engages in business activities from 
which it may earn revenues and incur expenses 
(including revenues and expenses relating to 
transactions with other components of the same 
entity), whose operating results are regularly 
reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision 
maker to make decisions about resources to 
be allocated to the segment and assess its 
performance and for which discrete financial 
information is available. 

Operating segments have been identified 
based on the information provided to the chief 
operating decision maker – being the Chief 
Executive Officer. Note 5 contains information on 
reportable segments.

(x)  Business combinations

(ii)  Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses, at each 
reporting date, whether there is any objective 
evidence that a financial asset or a group of 
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset 
or a group of financial assets is deemed to 
be impaired if, and only if, there is objective 
evidence of impairment as a result of one 
or more events that has occurred after the 
initial recognition of the asset (an incurred 
‘loss event’) and that loss event has an impact 
on the estimated future cash flows of the 
financial asset or group of financial assets 
that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of 
impairment may include indications that the 
debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing 
significant financial difficulty, default or 
delinquency in interest or principal payments, 
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy 
or other financial reorganisation and when 
observable data indicates that there is a 
measureable decrease in the estimated 
future cash flows, such as changes in arrears 
or economic conditions that correlate with 
defaults.

(iii)  Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities within the scope of AASB 
139 are classified as financial liabilities at 
fair value through profit or loss, loans and 
borrowings, or as derivatives designated as 
hedging instruments in an effective hedge 
as appropriate. The consolidated entity 
determines the classification of its financial 
liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially 
at fair values plus, in the case of loans and 
borrowings, directly attributable transaction 
costs. The consolidated entity’s financial 
liabilities include trade and other payables.

Business combinations are accounted for 
using the acquisition method. The cost of an 
acquisition is measured as the aggregate of 
the consideration transferred, measured at 
acquisition date fair value and the amount of any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each 
business combination the consolidated entity 
elects whether it measures the non-controlling 
interest in the acquiree either at fair value or 
at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred 
are expensed and included in administrative 
expenses.

When the consolidated entity acquires a 
business, it assesses the financial assets and 
liabilities assumed for appropriate classification 
and designation in accordance with the 
contractual terms, economic circumstances and 
pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, 
the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s 
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is 
remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date 
through profit or loss.

(y)  Financial instruments

(i) 

 Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets within the scope of AASB139 
are classified as financial assets at fair 
value through the profit or loss, loans and 
receivables, held to maturity investments, 
available for sale financial assets, or as 
derivatives designated as hedging instruments 
in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 
The consolidated entity determines the 
classification of its financial assets at initial 
recognition. 

All financial assets are recognised initially at 
fair value plus transaction costs, except in the 
case of financial assets recorded at fair value 
through the profit or loss. The consolidated 
entity’s financial assets include cash and short 
term deposits, trade and other receivables, 
and derivative financial instruments.

32

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16financial report

Derecognition 

A financial liability is derecognised when the 
obligation under the liability is discharged or 
cancelled or expires..

(iv)  Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that 
are traded in active markets at each reporting 
date is determined by reference to quoted 
market prices or dealer price quotations, 
without any deductions for transaction costs.

For financial instruments not traded in an 
active market, the fair value is determined 
using appropriate valuation techniques. Such 
techniques may include:

•  Using recent arm’s length market 

transactions;

•  Using reference to current fair value of 

another instrument that is substantially the 
same; and

•  Applying a discount cash flow analysis or 

other valuation models.

The fair value of forward foreign exchange 
contracts is determined using forward 
exchange rates at the balance sheet date. 

The consolidated entity enters into derivative transactions, 
principally forward currency contracts. The purpose is to 
manage the currency risks arising from the consolidated 
entity’s operations. The main risks arising from the 
consolidated entity’s financial instruments are interest 
rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. The consolidated entity uses different methods to 
measure and manage different types of risks to which it 
is exposed. These include monitoring levels of exposure 
to interest rate and foreign exchange risk and assessment 
of market forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange 
prices. Ageing analysis and monitoring of specific credit 
allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. Liquidity 
risk is monitored through using future rolling cash flow 
forecasts.

Primary responsibility for identification and control of 
financial risks rests with the Audit & Risk Management 
Committee under the authority of the Board. The Board 
reviews and agrees policies for managing each of the risks 
identified below, including the setting of limits for forward 
currency contracts, credit allowances and future cash flow 
forecast projections..

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to market interest rates 
relates solely to the consolidated entities short-term cash 
deposits and interest bearing loans and borrowings as 
disclosed in note 10 and 17.

3.  Financial risk management 
objectives and policies

The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments 
comprise of receivables, payables, cash and short-term 
deposits, interest bearing loans and forward foreign 
currency contracts.

Risk exposures and responses

The consolidated entity manages its exposure to key 
financial risks, including interest and currency risk in 
accordance with the consolidated entity’s financial risk 
management policy. The objective of this policy is to 
support the delivery of the consolidated entity’s financial 
targets whilst protecting future financial security.

The consolidated entity frequently analyses its interest rate 
exposure. Within this analysis consideration is given to 
potential renewals of existing positions, alternative hedging 
positions and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest 
rate risk exposures in existence at the reporting date.

Significant assumptions: The reasonably possible movement was calculated by taking 
the USD spot rate as at balance date, moving the spot rate by the reasonably possible 
movements and then re-converting the USD into AUD with the ‘new spot rate’. This 
amount was then tax effected. This methodology reflects the translation methodology 
undertaken by the consolidated entity.

Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign currency risk 
on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency 
other than Australian dollars. The currencies giving rise to 
risk are primarily U.S dollars and New Zealand dollars.

The consolidated entity enters into forward foreign 
exchange contracts to hedge certain anticipated purchase 
commitments denominated in foreign currencies 
(principally U.S dollars). The terms of these commitments 
are no more than 45 days. It is the consolidated entity’s 
policy not to enter into forward contracts until a firm 
commitment is in place.

The consolidated entity has subsidiaries with function 
currencies of New Zealand and United States dollars. There 
are currently no hedges in place to mitigate the foreign 
currency risk for these subsidiaries.

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16 
 
financial report

Credit Risk

Liquidity risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised 
if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The 
credit risk on financial assets of the consolidated entity 
is the carrying amount, net of any impairment losses. 
The consolidated entity mitigates this risk by adopting 
procedures whereby it only deals with creditworthy 
customers. Where there is evidence of credit risk, an 
impairment loss is recognised. The consolidated entity 
also insures debtors that have an approved credit limit of 
greater than $5,000 through trade credit insurance. Trade 
receivables that are greater than $5,000 are insured up 
to 90% of the approved credit limit, with a $5,000 excess 
payable per claim.

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the 
consolidated entity and the consolidated entity’s 
subsequent ability to meet its obligations to repay its 
financial liabilities as and when they fall due.

The consolidated entity’s objective is to maintain a balance 
between continuity of at cash funding and short-term fixed 
cash deposits. The consolidated entity manages its liquidity 
risk by monitoring the total cash inflows and outflows 
expected on a daily basis.

4.  Fair Value Measurement

The fair values together with the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities shown in the statement of 
financial position are outlined in the table below. For short term trade receivables and payables with a maturity date of less 
than one year, the carrying amount, as adjusted for any allowances for impairment, is deemed to reflect the fair value.

Fair value hierarchy

Outlined below are the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities that are 
recognised and measured at fair value. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair 
value, the consolidated entity has classified its assets and liabilities into the three levels prescribed under the accounting 
standards, as follows:

Level 1: 

 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of 
the reporting period.

Level 2: 

 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation 
techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific 
estimates. That is, all valuation inputs are observable.

Level 3: 

 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in 
level 3.

The only balance on the consolidated entity’s balance sheet which is measured at fair value are forward foreign exchange 
contracts (refer note 18). The fair value of these financial instruments is determined using forward exchange rates at the 
balance sheet date. Such fair value measurement is included in level 2, as it is based on an observable input.

5.  Operating segments

6.  Other revenue

Identification of reportable segments

The consolidated entity has identified its operating 
segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed 
and used by the Chief Executive Officer (the chief 
operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in 
determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management 
based on the manner in which products are sold. For the 
2015 and 2016 financial years the consolidated entity’s 
activities related solely to retail sales. 

As there is only one segment, segment revenues, profit/
(loss), assets and liabilities are consistent with those 
reported in the statement of comprehensive income and 
statement of financial position.

Revenue from external customers by geographical location 
is detailed below. Revenue is attributable to geographic 
location based on the location of the customers. The 
company does not have external revenues from external 
customers that are attributable to any foreign country or 
region other than as shown.

As at 30 June 2016, the Company has a deferred tax asset relating to timing differences and tax losses arising from prior 
years totalling $848,000 (2015: $838,000). Management has recognised deferred tax assets on the basis that achievement 
of profit before tax within the next 3-5 years in the amounts sufficient to offset the reversal of timing differences and enable 
the utilisation of recognised unused losses is probable.

(d)  Tax losses

The consolidated entity has gross tax losses, stated in the reporting currency of Australian dollars, for which no deferred tax 
asset is recognised on the statement of financial position of $22,478,770 (2015: $24,546,877) which are available indefinitely 
for offset against future gains subject to meeting the relevant statutory tests.

The consolidated entity has recognised tax losses to the extent that forecasts suggest it is probable that sufficient taxable 
income will be earned to recoup the recognised losses.

(a)  Allowance for impairment loss

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on 30 day terms. Trade receivables are insured through a debtors’ 
insurance policy, as described in note 3. A provision for impairment loss is recognised when there is objective evidence that 
an individual trade receivable is impaired and not recoverable within the terms of the insurance policy.

$4,000,000 Business finance

This facility consists of three individual facilities, namely 
surrendered bills of lading, trade finance-imports and 
special documentary import letters of credit. The 
combined limit of $4,000,000 applies across these 
individual facilities. As at 30 June 2016, the company has 
drawn down $763,000 (2015: $348,000) under its trade 
finance – imports facility. This facility is a perpetual facility 
and has no fixed expiry date, although individual trade 
finance drawdowns under the facility as at balance date 
mature on the dates disclosed above. The facility is secured 
by a general security agreement given by Cellnet Group 
Limited over all existing and future assets and undertakings.

$6,000,000 Invoice finance

This is a facility for terms of trade. The total limit of the 
facility is $6,000,000. As at 30 June 2016, no amounts 
were outstanding under this facility (2015: $207,000). The 
facility is secured by general security agreement given by 
Cellnet Group Limited over all existing and future assets 
and undertakings, and a flawed asset agreement providing 
for deposits by Cellnet Group Limited in relation to a 
deposit account held with the financier. Amounts owing 
under the facility are matched to the trade terms of the 
underlying financed transaction up to a maximum of 60 
days.

The consolidated entity fair values forward foreign 
currency exchange contracts held at balance date. 
Changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency 
exchange contracts that economically hedge monetary 
assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are recognised in 
profit or loss. Both the changes in fair value of the forward 
contracts and the foreign exchange gains and losses 
relating to the monetary items are recognised as part of 
materials, packaging and consumables used expenditure 
in the statement of comprehensive income, and are 
included in foreign currency gains or losses disclosed in 
Note 7.

Translation reserve

The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange 
differences arising from the translation of the financial 
statements of foreign operations whose functional 
currency is different to the presentation currency of the 
reporting entity.

Reserve for own shares

The reserve for own shares represents the cost of shares 
held by an equity remuneration plan that the consolidated 
entity is required to include in the financial report. At 30 
June 2016 the consolidated entity held 107,110 of the 
Company’s shares (2015: 107,110). This reserve will be 
reversed against share capital when the underlying shares 
are exercised under performance rights. No gain or loss 
is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue 
or cancellation of the consolidated entity’s own equity 
instruments.

taxation requirements for dividend payments to be sourced 
from profits.

Share based payment reserves

The share based payment reserve is used to recognise the 
value of equity-settled share based payments to KMP.

(c)  Capital management

When managing capital, management’s objective is to 
ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as 
to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits 
for other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain 
a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital 
available to the entity.

44

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16financial report

Management adjusts the capital structure to take 
advantage of favourable costs of capital or high returns on 
assets. As the market is constantly changing, management 
may change the amount of dividends to be paid to 
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, or issue new 
shares.

Management monitors capital through the capital 
adequacy ratio (net assets/total assets). The target for the 
consolidated entity’s capital adequacy ratio is between 40% 
and 60%. The capital adequacy ratios based on continuing 
operations at 30 June 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

20.  Share based payments

(a) 

Long term incentive plan - performance rights

On 24 October 2014 at the Company’s Annual General 
Meeting, shareholders approved a performance share 
rights plan.

Under this plan, performance rights are issued to key 
management personnel. The rights deliver ordinary 
shares to key management personnel (at no cost to the 
executive) where the performance hurdle in relation to 
those performance rights is met. Following the exercise of 
a Right, the Company must, within such time as the Board 
determines, issue or allocate to or acquire on market for 
the person exercising the Right, the number of shares in 
respect of which the Right has been exercised, credited as 
fully paid.

No performance rights were issued under the plan during 
the current year.

Performance hurdles

Subject to the Plan Rules, a Performance 
Right cannot be exercised unless the Board 
acting reasonably is satisfied that the following 
conditions have been satisfied:

•  The employee remains employed by the 

company

•  There is no outstanding breach of the terms 

of engagement with the Company.

•  No notice of termination of engagement 

has been either been given by the 
employee or received by the Company.
•  All performance hurdles have been met.

2,200,000 will vest upon meeting a total 
shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdle 
1,100,000 will vest upon meeting various profit 
before tax (PBT) performance hurdles

Fair value of performance rights granted

The fair value of the performance rights granted during 
the 2015 financial year was determined by management 
using either a binomial pricing model (PBT hurdle) or a 
trinomial lattice pricing model incorporating a Monte-Carlo 
simulation (TSR hurdle), depending on the nature of the 
associated vesting conditions.

Market conditions, such as the TSR vesting condition, were 
factored into the initial valuation of the options through 
use of a monte-carlo simulation which derives a valuation 
based on a range of possible outcomes. 

Expected volatility was determined based on historical 
stock price volatility over a period consistent with the life of 
the performance rights.

plan, as the Board may determine from time to time in its discretion.

The rules governing the operation of the plan may be amended, waived or modified, at any time by resolution of the 
Board provided there is no reduction of rights to Executives in the plan. If an amendment reduces the rights of Executives 
in the plan, it requires written consent of three-quarters of affected Executives.

The plan may be terminated or suspended at any time by a resolution of the Board, provided the termination or suspension 
does not have a material adverse effect on the rights of persons holding shares issued under the plan at that time.

(c)  Non-executive director options

At the Company’s AGM in October 2014, the shareholders approved the grant of 2,400,000 options to non-executive

Subsidiaries

The consolidated entity has entered into commercial 
leases on office and warehouse facilities. The leases 
typically run for a period of 1 to 5 years, with an option to 
renew the lease after that date. Lease payments generally 
comprise a base amount plus an incremental contingent 
rental which is based on movements in the Consumer 
Price Index.

During the comparative year and part of the 2016 year 
the group subleased a portion of its office and warehouse 
space at its Eagle Farm premises to two external parties. 
Both of the sublease terms were matched to the term of 
the head lease, with an original expiry date of September 
2016. Minimum amounts receivable under the subleases 
as at 30 June 2015 totalled $578,000 within one year and 
$135,000 after one year but within 5 years. The group 
assigned its obligations under the Eagle Farm lease to a 
third party during the 2016 financial year and as such had 
no ongoing entitlements under subleasing arrangements 
as at 30 June 2016.

The amount of franking credits available for the subsequent financial year are:

of the financial year at 30% (2015:30%)

2016

$000

347

2015

$000

The above available amounts are based on the balance of the dividend franking account at year end adjusted for:

(i) 

 franking debits that will arise from the refund of the current tax receivable;

(ii) 

 franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year-end;

(iii) 

 franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables by the tax consolidated entity at the 
year-end; and

(iv) 

 franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years..

The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon there being sufficient available profits to declare dividends. The impact on 
the dividend franking account of dividends proposed after the balance date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $278,000 
(2015: $239,000). In accordance with the tax consolidation legislation, the Company as the head entity in the tax-consolidated entity 
has also assumed the benefit of $Nil (2015: $Nil) franking credits from its Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries during the year.

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 Note 2(a), the directors also state, in 
accordance with Accounting Standard AASB101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit 
in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical 
requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether 
the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of 
material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the 
auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and 

53

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2015|16fair view 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 company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the 
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, 
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

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

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

 the consolidated financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in
