Chairmanʼs Report

Dear Shareholder, 

We are pleased to present the Emeco Holdings Limited Annual Report for financial year 2016/2017 (FY17). 

Balance sheet restructure and a larger, younger Australian fleet  

In March 2017, Emeco successfully restructured its balance sheet through the refinancing of its debt, a fully 
underwritten  capital  raise,  and  the  merger  with  Andyʼs  Earthmovers  (Asia  Pacific)  Pty  Ltd  (Andyʼs)  and 
Orionstone Holdings Pty  Ltd (Orionstone). This was  a complex transaction  involving multiple stakeholders 
from  all  three  businesses.  The  successful  completion  of  this  transaction  is  testament  to  Ian  Testrowʼs 
leadership, the Emeco teamʼs commitment and the strong support from all of our major stakeholders.  

The transaction addressed three key strategic initiatives for Emeco: 

1.  Extending the  maturity of Emecoʼs debt obligations to FY22; 
Improving our balance sheet to create operational flexibility; 
2. 
Increasing our fleet size while reducing its average age.  
3. 

Following a strategic review of the international operations, an asset swap was executed in Chile which allowed 
the Group to exchange its underutilised fleet in Chile for 85 fleet in Australia. As a result, the location of our 
fleet is now aligned with domestic demand, particularly in the coking coal industry on the Australian east coast. 
The larger fleet provides Emeco with a stronger platform for short and long-term growth. In addition to the Chile 
asset swap, Emeco sold its remaining fleet in Canada through completion of a rent-to-purchase agreement. 
The  repositioning  of  the  Canada  business  and  discontinuation  of  the  Chile  operations  allows  Emeco 
management to focus on improving operational performance and capturing growth in an improving Australian 
market. 

As  a  result  of  the  transaction  and  the  recent  Chilean  asset  swap,  Emeco  has  an  additional  400  pieces  of 
equipment  and  is  focused  on  driving  greater  earnings  and  returns  on  its  assets.  The  Companyʼs  ongoing 
strategic relationship with The Red Button Group enhances Emecoʼs ability to manage its larger fleet and focus 
on operational excellence in asset management and maintenance, which is also facilitated by Emecoʼs EOS 
technology.  

Safety and sustainability 

Emeco continues to maintain its commitment to its people, the environment and the communities in which we 
operate. The effective induction of new employees and subcontractors following the merger with Andyʼs and 
Orionstone was a priority of the integration programme in order to ensure that Emeco continues to adopt safety 
practices of the highest standard.  

Continued cost reduction initiatives and business integrations have not diminished our commitment to safety 
or sustainability processes or procedures.   

Overall, we continue to improve our safety record notwithstanding the increased number of employees and 
operations. Our LTIFR reduced from 1.1 to zero which is an outstanding achievement for the team, while our 
TRIFR decreased 61% to 2.2. 

For  more  information  on  our  sustainability  performance  and  policies,  please  refer  to  Emecoʼs  FY17 
Sustainability Report available on our website.

Focus on synergies and deleveraging the business

In FY18, Emecoʼs key priorities are to achieve the A$15 million run-rate of operating synergies linked to the 
merger with Andyʼs and Orionstone, continue to enhance our customer value proposition through innovation 
and to reduce costs across the business. 

The business ended the year with net debt of A$457.1 million. As a result of the FY17 restructure, Emeco is 
now in a position to drive meaningful earnings and operating cash flows to further deleverage the Company to 
create a strong and sustainable capital structure through the mining cycle.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank our shareholders and noteholders for their continued support of 
Emeco through challenging market conditions. The overwhelming shareholder and noteholder support of the 
transaction coupled with the shareholder participation in the underwriting of the rights issue were critical to 
Emecoʼs short and long-term success.  

Finally, post-completion of the transaction, on behalf of Emeco, I would like to welcome Peter Frank, Keith 
Skinner and Darren  Yeates to the  Board and extend our appreciation  to John  Cahill and  Erica  Smyth  who 
stepped down during the year after 8 years and 5 years of service respectively on the Board. Both John and 
Erica made significant contributions to the successful restructuring of Emeco and we wish them all the best in 
their future pursuits.

Managing Directorʼs Report

Dear Shareholder, 

Over the past year, Emeco has undergone a significant transformation through the merger with two businesses 
in Australia and the recapitalisation of all three companiesʼ debt profiles. I am especially proud that we were 
able to continue to improve our safety performance, decreasing TRIFR from 5.6 at the end of FY16 to 2.2 at 
the end of FY17 and currently at zero LTIFR, during this period.  

I would like to thank the Emeco team for all of their hard work throughout the last 12 months, and thank our 
shareholders and noteholders for their continued support.

Solid base for future Australian earnings 

Emeco achieved an operating EBITDA of $83.5 million (up $29.3 million on FY16 operating EBITDA of $54.2 
million)  and  an  operating  net  loss  after  tax  of  $90.9  million.  The  benefits  of  cost  reduction  initiatives 
implemented  in  FY16  were  fully  realised  throughout  FY17  and  Emecoʼs  focus  on  operational  excellence 
underpinned earnings growth across the business. Emeco also returned to positive operating EBIT of $12.0 
million, which was the first positive EBIT since FY13. 

In  the  first  three  quarters  of  FY17  (YTD  Q3FY17),  prior  to  the  completion  of  the  merger,  Emeco  reported 
revenue of $137.5 million and operating EBITDA of $54.0 million. This strong result was delivered at the same 
time as completing the complex restructure, which is a testament to the depth of expertise and commitment of 
the Emeco operational management team.  

After the completion of the recapitalisation and mergers on 31 March 2017, Emeco reported Q4FY17 revenue 
and operating EBITDA of $94.3m and $29.5m respectively. Increased Q4FY17 revenue was a result of the 
new scale of the business and with improving market conditions.  

Emecoʼs average group operating utilisation for FY17 was 53%, representing an improvement on the FY16 
average of 44% which was driven by growing demand across the Australian business as sentiment improves
in addition to greater customer relationships and understanding of their needs. Management has aligned its 
nation-wide fleet to meet this increase in demand adding 85 pieces of equipment as a result of the Chile asset 
swap in addition  to the fleet acquired from the merger  with  Andyʼs  and Orionstone. With an additional 400 
pieces of equipment, Emeco is focused on increasing operating utilisation and driving greater returns on its 
assets.  

Emecoʼs New South Wales business continues to perform strongly ending the year with operating utilisation 
of 68%.  In Queensland, Emeco has significantly improved it operational utilisation to 62% and is positioned 
well  to  capture  new  opportunities  in  FY18  due  given  its  added  scale.  In  Western  Australia,    Emeco  has 
increased its operating utilisation to 54% as new projects were secured in the iron ore and coal industries and, 
as  a result of the Andyʼs merger, Emeco now has a presence in South Australia and Victoria. 

Emeco  has  wound  down  its  exposure  in  both  Chile  and  Canada,  allowing  management  to  focus  on  its 
Australian operations. Canada is expected to provide a minimal earnings contribution moving forward.    

Financial discipline 

In FY17, cash generated from operating EBITDA was offset by the one-off costs associated with the merger 
and working capital deficiencies of the acquired businesses. This resulted in Emeco generating free operating 
cash flow of $36.9 million. 

Emeco also released $15.2 million from the closure of the remaining cross-currency interest rate swaps. A 
$20.0 million rights issue was completed during the period with the funds received being used to pay a portion 
of the A$35.0 million transaction costs. 

Emecoʼs debt structure consists of US$356m of bonds due March 2022 and the A$65m revolving credit facility 
expiring in March 2020 which currently has $2.7 million of bank guarantees drawn against it. At 30 June 2017 
Emeco had net debt of $457.1 million and leverage ratio of 5.5x (using Operating EBITDA of three quarters of 
pre-merger  and  one  quarter  post-merger).  Emeco  is  committed  to  optimising  its  cash  flow  and  further 
deleveraging its balance sheet to achieve a sustainable capital structure through the mining cycle.

Emeco expects the leverage ratio to continue to decrease in FY18 with a full year contribution to EBITDA from 
the merged businesses, earnings growth and cash flow generation.

Execution of strategic objectives 

The recapitalisation of Emeco and extension of its debt to FY22 was a key strategic priority for Emeco as it 
seeks  to  strengthen  its  balance  sheet  for  the  long-term.  Emeco  will  continue  to  work  towards  improving 
operational performance to generate cash to continue to reduce its leverage. 

The merger transaction,  together  with the  asset swaps, has also allowed  Emeco to  build on its  portfolio  of 
projects and full mining fleet to promote sustainable growth over the long-term.  The integration of the Andyʼs 
and Orionstone businesses has been a focus of management and the business is on track to realise A$15 
million in annualised operating synergies by the end of FY18.  

With the implementation of an additional EOS project in FY17, Emeco will continue to enhance its customer 
value proposition.  With the help of Emecoʼs EOS technology, management is also focused on being the best 
in class in asset and maintenance to improve our fleet capability and our performance while ensuring a strict 
cost discipline. In FY18, our focus will remain on securing more full mining fleet projects and reducing costs to 
improve margins and earnings.  

Positioning for the future 

The significant increase in revenue in Q4FY17 demonstrates both the new scale and future potential of Emeco 
following the mergers with Andyʼs and Orionstone. Emecoʼs fleet has more than doubled as a result of the 
merger  and  the  recent  asset  swap  provides  Emeco  with  the  platform  for  significant  growth,  boosted  by 
improving market sentiment. We are focused on ensuring that these additional pieces of equipment are put to 
work at existing and new projects, and capturing the opportunity of increasing demand in the coal and base 
metals industries in particular. 

In FY18, Emeco will undertake a strategic review of its divisions of the acquired businesses to determine how 
they  fit  with  Emecoʼs  strategy. We  are  conscious  that  there  is  still  a  lot  of  work  required  to  extract  merger 
synergies  and  ensure  Emecoʼs  strict  cost  discipline  and  commitment  to  operational  excellence  is  applied 
across the integrated company to continue to reduce operating costs.  Part of this also includes working with 
our  partner,  The  Red  Button  Group,  to  ensure  we  effectively  manage  our  capital  expenditure,  particularly 
through the significant capex synergy opportunities available as a result of doubling our fleet.  The focus on 
Emecoʼs capital and maintenance expenditure and will also assist in maximising our earnings and deleverage 
this business.  

I would like to thank all of our employees, shareholders, noteholders and wider stakeholder groups for their 
continued support of Emeco.

Reconciliation of differences between operating and statutory results: 
1.  FY17 operating results (non-IFRS) excludes the following: 

(cid:882)

Tangible asset impairments: Over FY17 net impairments totalling $25.3 million were recognised across the business on 
assets held for sale and subsequently disposed during the period. A small number of held for sale assets were reclassified 
to the rental fleet in Australia to source growth in New South Wales and Queensland businesses, resulting in reversal of 
impairments recognised in prior reporting periods. 

(cid:882) Goodwill  impairment:  Goodwill  recognised  during  the  period  and  allocated  to  the  Australia  CGU  was  impaired  which 

(cid:882)

(cid:882)

(cid:882)

resulted in an impairment expense of $77.9 million before tax.
Redundancy and restructuring costs: One off costs related to redundancy and restructuring totalled $7.5 million before 
tax. 
Long-term incentive program: During FY17 Emeco recognised $6.4 million of non-cash expenses relating to the employee 
long-term incentive plan.
Transaction costs: Costs incurred in relation to the mergers and recapitalisation during the period amounted to $10.1 million 
before tax. These costs consist of $14.5 million in acquisition expense, $5.8 million in capitalised borrowing costs written off, 
$10.2 million cost of equity provided to Black Diamond. Offsetting this is a gain realised on the discount on the debt for equity 
swap of $20.4 million.

3.  All reconciling items relating to FY17 operating results are discussed in further detail later in the operating and financial review. 

OPERATING UTILISATION TRENDING UPWARDS 

Group operating utilisation increased over FY17 to an average of 53% compared to 44% in FY16 and ended 
the year at 56%. Management is focused on increasing the operating utilisation of machines currently on rent 
and looking for opportunities to redeploy underutilised fleet to generate greater returns.

Group  operating  revenue  from  continuing  operations  increased  in  FY17  to  $233.0  million  (2016:  $208.0 
million).  Rental revenue increased to $208.8 million (2016: $177.7 million) as a result of improvements in the 
Australian business and the increased scale from the acquired fleet in 4Q17.  Maintenance services revenue 
decreased 5.6% to $22.0 million (2016: $23.3 million) primarily driven by the reduced scope of operations in 
Canada.  Sale of parts and machines decreased in FY17 to $2.6 million, down from $5.5 million in FY16 due 
to rationalisation of the Australian inventory in FY16. 

Operating EBITDA margins increased to 35.8% (2016: 26.1%) as the business realised a full year benefit of 
the Project Fit  initiatives implemented  in FY16. The Companyʼs continued focus on operational excellence 
and cost reduction contributed to the achievement of a 41% operating EBITDA margin in Q3FY17. This was 
impacted in Q4FY17, partially by the merger transaction and in particular one-off expenses associated with 
the  acquired  fleet,  acquired  low  margin  projects  and  cost  inefficiencies  experienced  through  integration. 
EBITDA recovery improved operating return on capital (ROC) to 3.3% in FY17 (FY16: negative 2.7%).

Operating  EBITDA  increased  $29.3  million  (54.1%)  due  to  cost  management  within  the  business  set 
throughout FY16 in addition to increased rental revenue in Q4FY17. Although revenue increased 12.7% in 
FY17, operating expenses decreased 1.9% which is evidence of the significant cost savings made over the 
course of FY16. The business is on track to realise the $15 million of annualised operating synergies from the 
transaction over the course of FY18. The full benefit of expected synergies will be recognised in FY19. 

Repairs and maintenance expense increased 8.5% to $77 million (2016: $71.0 million). Fleet acquired from 
Andyʼs and Orionstone required additional expenditure to bring the assets up to the high standards set by 
Emeco  for  its  equipment.  These  costs  are  one  off  in  nature,  with  this  maintenance  program  expected  to 
conclude by the end of 1H18. 

Employee expenses decreased 37.4% in FY17 to $21.3 million (FY16: $34.0 million) as a full years savings 
was realised from headcount rationalisation made throughout FY16.  

Other expenses increased to $21.4 million (FY16: $17.4 million) predominately due to costs associated with 
the outsourcing of some functions partially offsetting the decrease in employee expenses. Costs associated 
with hired in equipment and labour remained relatively flat year on year as Emeco used external contractors 
to reduce its fixed operating cost base. Refer to note 8 in the financial statements for further breakdown of net 
other expenses (page 78). 

Depreciation expense increased to $70.6 million in FY17 (FY16: $68.3 million) driven by the increased scale 
of fleet and hours utilised from the merger with Andyʼs and Orionstone. However, the starting asset cost base 
was  reduced  from  the  prior  year  through  impairments  recognised  on  the  fleet  in  FY16,  softening  the 
depreciation increase.

The written down value (WDV) of the rental fleet increased to $339.6 million over FY17 due to the merger with 
Andyʼs and Orionstone adding $84.8 million and $64.1 million respectively.  

In June 2017 the business executed a successful asset swap with a mining contractor in Chile which resulted 
in the acquisition of $43.9 million of in-demand fleet for Australia in exchange for the fleet in Chile and cash 
consideration. This fleet swap further supports equipment needs in Australia, particularly  on the east coast 
where utilisation in New South Wales and Queensland is currently over 90%. The remaining Canadian fleet 
was disposed for consideration of $13.9 million during the period. 

Impairment loss on plant and equipment decreased to $18.4 million in FY17, down from $159.0 million in FY16 
(refer to note 22). FY16 impairment testing indicated all three cash generating units were impaired and the 
value of the fleet was written down by $159.0 million. FY17 impairment testing resulted in the Australian CGU 
being  impaired.  However  this  impairment  was  allocated  to  the  goodwill  recognised  in  the  CGU  and  no 
additional tangible asset impairment was recognised. The impairment of plant and equipment in FY17 of $18.4 
million relates to the assets designated as held for sale during the period (refer to note 15).

Inventory  was  written  down  by  $7.0  million  (2016:  $11.5  million),  largely  as  a  result  of  the  disposal  of  the 
Chilean assets as part of the asset swap to Australia.    

We continually review our rental fleet, matching fleet mix to regional demand. Idle units identified as having 
low rental demand and end of life machines are transferred to non-current assets held for sale and are actively 
marketed through Emecoʼs global network of brokers.

Operating EBITDA increased from $54.2 million in FY16 to $83.5 million in FY17 however increased one off 
costs  and  significant  working  capital  deficiencies  associated  with  the  merger  with  Andyʼs  and  Orionstone 
affected  the  operating  free  cash  flow  for  FY17.  Significant  expenditure  was  incurred  in  4Q17  to  bring  the 
acquired  fleet  from  Andyʼs  and  Orionstone  up  to  Emecoʼs  operating  standards.  These  cash  outflows  are 
largely  one  off  in  nature  and  are  expected  to  conclude  by  the  end  of  1H18  when  Emecoʼs  maintenance 
program on acquired assets concludes. 

Net capital expenditure decreased to $0.5m due to the disposal of the Chile fleet and the close out of two rent 
to purchase options on the Canadian fleet. The Chile fleet was swapped for assets in Australia in addition to 
$11.7 million cash whilst the Canadian disposals generated cash of $13.9 million during the period. Capital 
expenditure  was  focused  on  major  component  expenditure  on  acquired  machines  as  significant  fleet  was 
added to the Australian business during the period via the merger with Andyʼs and Orionstone. 

In addition, during the year Emeco released $15.2 million related to funds received from the closure of the 
remaining  cross-currency interest rate swaps. A $20.0 million rights issue was completed during the period 
with the funds received being used to pay transaction costs which amounted to $35.0 million. 

BALANCE SHEET RESTRUCTURE 

The Company successfully completed its debt restructuring and the merger with two businesses in Australia 
in March 2017. The transaction consisted of the following: 

(cid:129)  acquisition of Andyʼs for consideration of shares in Emeco; 
(cid:129)  acquisition of Orionstone for consideration of shares in Emeco; 
(cid:129) 

cancellation  of  Emeco  144A  notes,  Andyʼs  long  term  debt  obligations  and  Orionstone  long  term  debt 
obligations in exchange for new notes, for the value of 80% of the face value of the original debt, and 20% 
received as shares in Emeco. The new notes mature in 2022 with an interest rate of 9.25%; 

(cid:129)  a refinanced A$65m revolving credit facility consisting of a A$35 million cash advance and a A$30 million 

bank guarantee facility, replacing the A$75 million asset backed loan; 
implementation of hedging arrangements against the US dollar denominated new notes; 

(cid:129) 
(cid:129)  5% of the total number of shares on issue provided to Black Diamond Capital Management LLC as the 

major holder of Emeco new notes; and 
(cid:129)  A$20m rights offer to existing shareholders. 

Goodwill of $77.9 million arose on the acquisition due to numerous factors including a 60% increase in the 
Companyʼs share price over the transaction period and higher than expected short term liabilities acquired. 
Impairment testing  performed at June 2017 indicated the Australia cash generating unit  was  impaired and 
consequently the $77.9 million of goodwill recognised on the acquisition was written off.

The  completion  of  Emecoʼs  balance  sheet  restructure  resulted  in  net  debt  increasing  to  $457.1  million. 
Following the issuance of the notes, Emecoʼs debt structure consists of US$360.8 million of bonds of which 
US$4.9 million are held by Emeco. The net amount outstanding at 30 June 2017 on the notes was US$355.9 
million. The notes mature in March 2022 and a semi-annual coupon of 9.25% is payable in January and July 
each year. The notes are secured and guaranteed by Emeco Holdings Limited and its operating subsidiaries. 
The new notes do not contain maintenance covenants.  

As part of the transaction, A$75 million asset backed loan was replaced by a A$65 million revolving credit 
facility (RCF) consisting of a A$35 million cash advance facility  and a  A$30 million bank guarantee facility 
which matures in March 2020. The facility requires the Group to maintain a collateral coverage ratio greater 
than 3.0x and a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.2x. At 30 June 2017 the RCF was undrawn and 
$2.7 million of the bank guarantee facility was utilised. 

The cross-currency  interest rate swaps associated  with the 144A notes  were closed  out during the period 
generating $15.2 million in cash. New hedging arrangements were entered into to hedge the FX movement 
on the US$355.9 million outstanding notes. US$230 million of the semi-annual coupon has been hedged to 
AUD in addition to US$100 million principal hedged. Due to the appreciation in the Australian dollar between 
the inception of the hedge on 31 March 2017 and 30 June 2017, a net hedge liability of $4.4 million has been 
recognised at June 2017.  

Finance  lease  liabilities  increased  from  $9.0  million  at  30  June  2016  to  $9.7  million  at  30  June  2017  with 
Emeco acquiring a number of finance lease assets via the merger with the Andyʼs and Orionstone businesses.  

Emecoʼs cash balance was $17.0 million at 30 June 2017. The cash flow was impacted by the working capital 
deficiencies of the acquired entities, combined with expenditure incurred in 4Q17 to bring the acquired fleet 
from Andyʼs and Orionstone up to Emecoʼs operating standards.  

Refer to note 24 in the accompanying financial statements for additional information on Emecoʼs financing 
facilities. 

Emecoʼs leverage ratio has improved from 6.7x to 5.5x at 30 June 2017 (which includes one quarter of the 
consolidated Groupʼs Operating EBITDA post-transaction compared with the full post transaction net debt).  

Similar to FY16 the board declared a nil interim and final dividend for FY17 as a result of the net operating 
loss for the period.

Comprised  of  five  operating  units,  Queensland,  New  South  Wales,  Western  Australia  &  South  Australia, 
Victoria and Contract Mining, the Australian rental business is well diversified across bulk commodities and 
metals.  The business services high quality customers leveraged to the production phase of the mining cycle.

The Australia business improved average operating utilisation over FY16 to 50%, which was led by increased 
market share in both New South Wales and Queensland. Rental revenue improved by 40% to $185.3 million 
with  operating  EBITDA  margins  increasing  from  26.1%  in  FY16  to  35.8%  in  FY17.  This  is  a  significant 
improvement in the business and shows the benefits received from cost reduction initiatives implemented in 
FY16 and the impact of operational excellence efficiencies in FY17. Headcount in Australia increased from 
165 at 30 June 2016 to 329 at 30 June 2017 as the business acquired the operations of Andyʼs and Orionstone. 
Significant headcount rationalisation was made prior to the merger with the increase in headcount related to 
the scale of the business in Australia. 

The New South Wales business continues to remain a strong Australian business unit with FY17 operating 
utilisation of 65% compared to 59% over FY16.  Revenue increased 18.9% over this period to $86.0 million as 
the region realises growth on existing projects through the strength of its relationships with customers. 

Queensland continued to grow its earnings base through improved market conditions and access to increased 
fleet and scale through merger with Orionstone. This has increased Emecoʼs customer base whilst diversifying 
its commodity exposure to copper and bauxite. Revenue increased 79.6% during this period and the business 
now holds 194 pieces of equipment in Queensland.  

Western Australia has rebounded off the lows experienced in FY16 and has increased operating utilisation in 
2HFY17 driven by contracts won in iron ore and coal. During FY17, the Western Region successfully extended 
a key contract with an EOS customer and also acquired an EOS project site in South Australia. We see greater 
optimism throughout the Western region and aim to capitalise on this by winning new contracts in the next 
period. 

In Q4FY17, Emeco acquired contract mining and civil businesses which provided revenue of $11.9 million and 
$6.3 million respectively. Given the large direct costs and overheads associated  with these business units, 
EBITDA contribution to the Group result was marginal.

The year ahead 

The Australian business becomes managementʼs core focus for FY18 ensuring that fleet acquired during FY17 
is put to work and operating utilisation of fleet is maximised. We expect strong growth in the New South Wales 
and Queensland businesses, from market exposure to coking coal, which should drive demand and increased 
utilisation of fleet. The asset transfer from Chile has provided $43.9 million of assets to support demand on the 
east coast. The majority of assets acquired have already been placed on contract. 

The EOS technology is being implemented on a new site in the Western Region which should see increased 
operating utilisation on  that site and significant positive impact to the customerʼs operations  and earnings. 
Management sees the EOS technology being able to provide improved asset maintenance and cost savings 
via condition monitoring and operator usage. 

Three contract mining projects were acquired from the merger of which two have already ended, with the last 
expiring in September 2017. Management continues to assess the civil business acquired from Andyʼs given 
its revenue contribution compared to its cost base. Opportunities to continue to support the east coast mining 
and infrastructure customers will be assessed.

Canada Summary 

Emecoʼs Canadian strategic partner, Heavy Metal Equipment Rental (HMER), exercised two rent-to-purchase 
options during FY17 effectively disposing of all of Emecoʼs Canadian assets during the period.  

Emeco  continues  to  hold  several  customer  contracts  in  Canada  which  are  managed  by  HMER  which  will 
provide a services fee to Emeco over FY18. Emeco does not expect a material earnings contribution from the 
Canadian  business  in the  near-term. However, Emeco  will continue to  partner  with HMER and maintain  a 
presence in Canada, allowing it to take advantage of potential project opportunities should they arise. 

Chile Summary  

In Chile, low operating utilisation impacted on earnings and returns. During the period, a strategic partnership 
was  entered  into  with  a  maintenance  provider  that  allowed  Emeco  to  significantly  reduce  operating  and 
overhead costs. Despite the management of cost, the earnings of the business did not improve over FY17 
and the decision was made to reduce Emecoʼs exposure in Chile. Management took an opportunity to dispose 
of the fleet in Chile in exchange for 85 assets located in Australia and a A$11.7 million cash payment.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

Non-audit services 

During  the  year,  Deloitte  Touche  Tohmatsu,  the  Groupʼs  auditor,  has  performed  certain  other  services  in 
addition to their statutory duties. 

The board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and is satisfied that 
the  provision  of  those  non-audit  services  during  the  year  by  the  auditor  is  compatible  with,  and  did  not 
compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: 

(cid:129)  All non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and 
have been reviewed by the audit and risk management committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity 
and objectivity of the auditor. 

(cid:129)  The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence 
as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or 
auditing the auditorʼs own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting 
as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing the risks and rewards. 

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Group, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and its network firms, for 
audit  and  non-audit  services  provided  during  the  year  are  found  in  note  9  of  the  notes  to  the  financial 
statements. 

Lead auditorʼs independence declaration 

A copy of the auditorʼs independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001
is set out on page 40 and forms part of the directorsʼ report. 

Rounding off 

The amounts contained  in  the financial report have been rounded to the  nearest $1,000 (unless otherwise 
stated)  under  the  option  available  to  the  Company  as  referred  to  in  ASIC  Corporations  (Rounding  in 
Financial/Directorsʼ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016. The Company is an entity to which 
the class order applies.

Executive remuneration 

3.1  Remuneration policy 

The Group remuneration policy is substantially reflected in the objectives of the Companyʼs remuneration and 
nomination committee.  The committeeʼs objectives are summarised in the following table:  

Objective 

Practices aligned with objective 

Remunerate fairly and 
appropriately 

Maintain balance between the interests of shareholders and the reward of 
executives in order to secure the long term benefits of executive energy 
and loyalty. 

Benchmark  remuneration  structures  to  ensure  alignment  with  industry 
trends. 

Provide  a  significant  proportion  of  'at  risk'  remuneration  to  ensure  that 
executive reward is directly linked to the creation of shareholder value. 

Align executive interests with 
those of shareholders 

Ensure  human  resources  policies  and  practices  are  consistent  and 
complementary to the strategic direction of the Company. 

Attract, retain and develop 
proven performers 

Prohibit  the  hedging  of  unvested  equity  to  ensure  alignment  with 
shareholder outcomes. 

Provide total remuneration which is sufficient to attract and retain proven 
and experienced executives who are capable of: 
(cid:129) 
fulfilling their respective roles with the Group; 
(cid:129)  achieving the Groupʼs strategic objectives; and 
(cid:129)  maximising Group earnings and returns to shareholders. 

The  remuneration  structure  for  the  Companyʼs  executives  consists  of  fixed  and  variable  components.  The 
variable component ensures that a proportion of pay varies with Company performance.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

3.2  Fixed remuneration 

Fixed  remuneration  comprises  base  salary,  employer  superannuation  contributions  and  other  non-cash 
benefits. 

Each executiveʼs fixed remuneration is reviewed and benchmarked annually in August.  In FY17, this process 
did not result in any change in any Executiveʼs fixed remuneration.  However, fixed remuneration of executives 
was  reviewed  as  a  result  of  expanded  responsibilities  on  and  from,  and  once  executive  remuneration 
restrictions ceased upon, completion the Groupʼs recapitalisation and the acquisitions of Andyʼs Earthmovers 
(Asia Pacific) Pty Ltd (Andyʼs) and Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries (Orionstone) (together, 
Transaction).   

The level of remuneration is set to enable the Company to attract and retain proven performers once they are 
working  within  the  business.  An  executiveʼs  responsibilities,  experience,  qualifications,  performance  and 
geographic location are also taken into account.  

Fixed  remuneration  for  executives  has  previously  been  set  by  reference  to  the  fixed  remuneration  of 
comparable positions in comparable sized companies in the mining and mining services sectors. These sectors 
are considered to be appropriate as they are the key source of talent for the Company.  

3.3  Variable remuneration 

Generally, executives are entitled to variable remuneration which consists of short and long term incentives.  

At the start of FY17 when the board set the FY17 remuneration structure for executives, the employee share 
trust  already  held  a  significant  amount  of  shares  for  employees  pursuant  to  existing  plans.    This  left  little 
headroom  to  offer  a  meaningful  long-term  equity-based  incentive  given  the  Companyʼs  share  price  at  that 
time.   Further,  there  was  uncertainty  around  the  Companyʼs  capital  structure  in  light  of  the  Companyʼs 
corporate  development  activities  and  the  potential  Transaction.  Therefore,  the  executive  remuneration 
structure for FY17 did not include a long term, equity-based retention incentive plan.  Instead, the percentage 
of variable remuneration usually offered to executives in respect of long term incentive plans was offered as 
an  additional  short  term  incentive  (STI).  Increasing  the  STI  component  ensured  executives  remained 
incentivised to maintain a clear focus on day-to-day operations and financial performance in order to create
shareholder  value,  notwithstanding  the  work  required  to  complete  the  note  refinancing  and  mergers  with 
Andyʼs and Orionstone.   

The  below  table  sets  out  the  maximum  remuneration  for  each  executive  in  FY17  attributable  to  STIs  as  a 
percentage of total fixed remuneration (TFR) if maximum performance is achieved.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

Further,  on  13  March  2017  the  Company  held  extraordinary  general  meeting  (EGM)  for  the  purpose  of 
approving a series of interrelated resolutions required in order to approve the Transaction.  At that meeting, 
shareholders approved the establishment of the Companyʼs new management incentive plan (MIP) as part of 
the Transaction.   

In FY17 after completion of the Transaction, 303,603,596 awards were made to senior management under the 
MIP in recognition of their contribution to the Transaction and also their ability to drive the long term objectives 
of the Emeco Group and increase shareholder wealth. This offer differed from other long-term incentive offers 
given  its  connection  to  the  Transaction  and  also  as  the  awards  were  not  determined  by  reference  to  a 
percentage of remuneration. Approximately 75% of the MIP awards are performance shares which are already 
on  issue.  A  performance  share  is  a  fully  paid  ordinary  share  on  issue,  the  vesting  of  which  is  subject  to  a 
performance condition being met. See section 3.3.2.

3.3.1  STI remuneration 

Cash  

STIs are usually used to reward the performance of executives over a full financial year. However, for FY17, 
in light of the acquisition of Andyʼs and Orionstone on 30 March 2017, STIs were assessed against Company 
performance in respect of key performance indicators (KPIs) over the:  

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

first three quarters of FY17 for financial KPIs as these related to FY17 budget (the fourth quarter budget 
became irrelevant upon completion of the Transaction); and 
the full financial year for non-financial KPIs.   

The actual amount of STI awarded is determined after the end of the financial year in light of the Companyʼs 
performance against the KPIs.  All executive STI awards require review and approval by the remuneration and 
nomination committee and the board.  

An executiveʼs maximum achievable STI award is set as a percentage of TFR (see table 14 above for details).  
FY17 STI awards are made 100% in cash.  

Key performance indicators 

As noted above, due to the Transaction completing on 30 March 2017 resulting in the earnings of Andyʼs and 
Orionstone  being  included  in  the  fourth  quarter  financials,  the  financial  KPI  (which  was  based  on  budget 
EBITDA) was assessed over the first three quarters of FY17. 

Along with the financial performance indicator, a safety KPI was included given the importance of safety to the 
Groupʼs workforce, customers and therefore the long term sustainability and success of the Group.  

In respect of the FY17 STI plan, the executives had identical KPIs and no personal KPIs.  This was designed 
to focus executive efforts on the overall performance of the Company and promote collaboration and support 
between executives, senior managers and the Group as a whole.

3.3.2  MIP remuneration 

Allocation  of  MIP  awards  to  executives  formed  an  important  aspect  of  the  Transaction  to  incentivise 
management to stay with the Group post-Transaction and this award aligns the interests of senior managers 
with the long term interests of shareholders. 

MIP awards are in the form of performance shares or performance rights (MIP awards).  A performance share 
is a fully paid ordinary Emeco share on issue, the vesting of which is subject to service conditions being met.  
A performance right is a right to receive a fully paid ordinary Emeco share, the vesting of which is subject to 
service conditions being met.   

After  completion  of  the  Transaction,  selected  participants  were  offered  performance  rights  under  the  MIP.  
These were offered both as a recognition of their contribution to the Transaction and as an incentive to remain 
with  the  Group  in  order  to  achieve  timely  integration  of  the  Emeco,  Andyʼs  and  Orionstone  businesses, 
forecasted synergies and to deliver the Groupʼs long term objectives.  

The number of performance rights offered to executives was determined by reference to a percentage of the 
issued  capital  of  the  Company.    The  number  of  performance  shares  ultimately  granted  to  Mr  Testrow  was 
reduced  as  part  of  the  Transaction  and  calculated  in  accordance  with  description  set  out  in  the  notice  of 
meeting for the EGM and as approved by the shareholders at the EGM.  This calculation reflected a reduction 
in Mr Testrowʼs entitlement of 5% of the issued capital of the Company under his executive services agreement 
by the corresponding number of shares that were issued to a transaction party under a top-up placement (see 
the EGM notice of meeting for further information).

Performance shares and performance rights were offered at no cost, however, vesting is subject to the service 
condition described below being satisfied.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

Service condition  

MIP awards vest at the end of a three year period to encourage senior management to remain with the Group 
for the three year vesting period.  Retaining senior management is particularly important to the Company given 
integration  of  the  Andyʼs  and  Orionstone  businesses,  the  significant  increase  in  equipment  numbers  and 
personnel as well as the long term objectives of the Group.   

Performance shares which vest will be transferred to the participant.  In respect of performance rights which 
vest, corresponding shares will be transferred to the participant.   

MIP awards that do not vest will lapse and any associated shares on issue will continue to be held in trust for 
subsequent reallocation.  

Vesting on involuntary termination 

If  an  executiveʼs  employment  is  terminated  due  to  death,  total  and  permanent  disability,  retrenchment  or 
retirement,  then  the  executiveʼs  unvested  MIP  awards  will  vest,  pro-rated  based  on  the  period  that  the 
executive has been employed with Emeco during the vesting period. 
All unvested MIP awards lapse if an executive resigns or is terminated for cause. 

3.4 

Prohibition of hedging securities 

Emecoʼs  share  trading  policy  prohibits  executives,  directors,  officers  and  employees  of  the  Company  from 
entering into transactions intended to hedge their exposure to Emeco securities which have been issued as 
part of remuneration. 

3.5  Relationship between remuneration and Company performance 

Emecoʼs remuneration objectives effectively align the interests of Emecoʼs executives with the interests of the 
Company and its shareholders.  

This has been achieved by setting STI KPIs which are focussed on the overall performance of the Company 
and which promote collaboration and support between executives, senior managers and the Group as a whole. 

In  respect  of  FY17,  100%  of  the  executivesʼ  target  STI  was  awarded  as  a  result  of  the  improved  financial 
performance of the Group.  

MIP  awards  are  dependent  on  continued  employment  with  the  Group  over,  and  the  value  of  which  are 
ultimately dependent on the share price at the end of, the vesting period.  No incentives under the Companyʼs 
previous long term incentive plans vested in FY17.  See section 5.5 for more detail. 

In FY17, the Company continued to focus on cash generation through reducing costs, disposing surplus fleet 
and managing capital expenditure and working capital in order to deleverage and strengthen its balance sheet. 
EBITDA  is  a  good  indicator  of  the  Companyʼs  cash  generating  ability.  Further  deleveraging  was  achieved 
through the recapitalisation and mergers with Andyʼs and Orionstone and the Companyʼs new senior secured 
notes and revolving credit facility have provided financial flexibility to generate cash to continue to reduce debt.

Directorsʼ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

Retaining senior management during this period was integral to the Companyʼs achievements and in placing 
the Group in a leading market position from which to benefit from the improving market conditions and hence 
greater shareholder returns. 

Details of the KPIs for the FY17 STI and MIP plans are set out in the following table:

Financial 

Non-financial

EBITDA 

Safety 

MIP 

Share price 

Continued employment 

Further details regarding Emecoʼs executive remuneration structure are set out in sections 3.2 and 3.3.  

In  FY17,  the  STI  awards  to  executives  increased  from  FY16  due  to  the  Companyʼs  improved  financial 
performance. However, the extent to which Emeco has set financial KPIs which are genuinely challenging, 
and which mean that STI remuneration is genuinely at risk, is highlighted by the fact that in FY16 all executives 
only received 25% of their target STI as the operating EBITDA target was not reached.  No executive subject 
to the financial hurdle in FY15 received a STI payment in that year. In FY14, the STIs were awarded for safety 
and personal goals and the sale of idle assets KPIs being met, however, no STIs in respect of financial KPIs 
were awarded.  STI payments to executives decreased in FY13 partially due to financial KPIs not being met.  
Details of the FY17 KPIs are set out above in section 3.3.1.

Macroeconomic uncertainty, a downturn in the resources sector globally, difficult trading conditions in Emecoʼs 
markets and a resultant decline in the Companyʼs earnings saw the Companyʼs share price close at 28 cents, 
20 cents, 8 cents and 3 cents on 30 June 2013, 30 June 2014, 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2016 respectively.  
In FY17, market conditions improved, contributing to an increase in the Companyʼs earnings.  The Companyʼs 
share price also increased and closed at 10.5 cents on 30 June 2017.  No long term securities have vested in 
the last five years as a result of the Companyʼs performance.     

The change to retention based long term incentive plans provides senior managers with a more meaningful 
incentive to remain with the Group over the longer term.  The Company considers retaining senior managers 
will be a key factor in the performance of the Group.  The Companyʼs innovative technological platforms, in 
addition to the enhanced fleet and capability as a result of the Transaction, positions the Group well to add 
further  value  for  Emeco  customers  and  increase  Company  earnings.    The  value  of  the  MIP  awards  upon 
vesting will be wholly dependent on the Companyʼs share price, which aligns executivesʼ interests with that of 
shareholders. 

The  primary  means  available  to  the  Company  to  grow  shareholder  wealth,  whether  by  way  of  dividend 
distributions or increases in the Companyʼs share price, is to strive to increase earnings and return on capital. 
In this regard, the Company will maintain remuneration policies and practices which reward strong financial 
performance and align the interests of management with the interests of shareholders.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

4. 

Non-executive director remuneration 

Fees for non-executive directors are fixed and are not linked to the financial performance of the Company. The 
board believes this is necessary for non-executive directors to maintain their independence. 

Non-executive director fees are reviewed and benchmarked annually in August. In FY17, this process did not 
result in any change in non-executive director fees.   

An  annual  cap  of  $1,200,000  is  currently  prescribed  in  the  Companyʼs  constitution  as  the  total  aggregate 
remuneration available to non-executive directors.   

The allocation of fees to non-executive directors within this cap has been determined after consideration of a 
number of factors including the time commitment of directors, the size and scale of the Companyʼs operations, 
the skill sets of board members, the quantum of fees paid to non-executive directors of comparable companies 
and participation in board committee work.  

4

The chair is entitled to an annual fee of $158,238.  All other non-executive directors receive an annual fee of 
$90,422. An additional annual fee of $6,782 is paid to a director who is a member of a board committee.  This 
fee  is  increased  to  $9,042  for  a  director  who  chairs  a  committee.  All  amounts  specified  in  this  section  are 
inclusive of superannuation contributions.  

Due to the small number of Australian based  non-executive directors in FY17, all Australian  non-executive 
directors sit on more than one committee.  However non-executive directors only get paid for sitting on one 
committee.   

5. 

Details of remuneration

Mr Ian Testrowʼs grant of performance shares was approved by shareholders at the EGM as part of the interrelated resolutions 
to approve the Transaction. As set out above, performance shares are fully paid ordinary Emeco shares already on issue, the 
vesting of which is subject to service conditions being met (see section 3.3.2). 
The minimum value of each grant is zero. 
The fair value of the securities was determined using the share price at market open on 31 March 2017, and is allocated to each 
reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed in the KMP remuneration table (table 
16) is the portion of the fair value of the securities recognised in FY17.  

5.4  Retention Incentives 

In FY16 the Company offered executives retention incentives (RI).  The awards offered under the RI Plan are 
not  conditional  on  Company  performance  but  rather  vest  at  the  end  of  a  three  year  period  (performance 
period).   This was to encourage senior management to remain with the Group for the performance period. 

Historically most of the Companyʼs long term incentive plans included a performance condition based on the 
relative  total  shareholder  return  (TSR)  of  the  Company  measured  against  a  peer  group  over  a  three  year 
vesting period.  TSR performance conditions became particularly difficult to satisfy given the downturn in the 
mining sector and seemingly affected the value of these plans as a retention tool.  Since, the Company has 
offered long term incentive plans with service conditions rather than TSR performance conditions.  Turnover 
in senior management has decreased during FY16 and FY17 as a result.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

RI remuneration is in the form of performance shares or performance rights (RI securities).  All RI securities 
are backed by ordinary shares on issue and, as such, RI securities which vest will not impact the issued capital 
of the Company. As set out in section 3.3.2, a performance share is a fully paid ordinary Emeco share, the 
vesting of which is subject to the performance condition being met.  A performance right is a right to receive a 
fully paid ordinary Emeco share on issue, the vesting of which is subject to the performance condition being 
met.  

RI  securities  that  do  not  vest  at  the  end  of  the  vesting  period  will  lapse.    Shares  associated  with  these  RI 
securities will be held in trust for subsequent reallocation.  

Performance shares which vest are transferred to the employee. In respect of performance rights which vest, 
corresponding shares are transferred to the employee. 

Grants and vesting of RI securities made to executives under the Companyʼs RI Plan are set out in the following 
table:

The performance share offer made to Mr Ian Testrow in FY16 was approved by shareholders at the Companyʼs 2016 annual 
general meeting. Mr Hawkins ceased employment with the Group on 19 August 2016 and his offer of performance shares was 
forfeited prior to shareholder approval for the grant being sought.  Ms Justine Lea was not offered performance shares in FY16. 
The minimum value of each grant is zero. 
The fair value of the RI securities was determined using a Monte Carlo share price simulation model, and is allocated to each 
reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed in the KMP remuneration table (table 
16) is the portion of the fair value of the securities recognised in FY17. 

5.5  Long Term Incentives 

During  FY08  to  FY15,  the  Company  offered  long  term  incentives  (LTIs)  to  executives  to  reward  them  for 
Company performance over a three year period (vesting period). 

LTI remuneration was in the form of performance shares or performance rights (LTI securities). 

The performance condition for the vesting of LTI securities was based on the relative TSR of the Company 
measured against a peer group (peer group) over the vesting period. 

TSR  is  a  performance measure  that  calculates  the  return  to  a  shareholder  taking  into  account  share  price 
growth, dividend payments and capital returns. 

At the end of the vesting period, the TSR for Emeco and each company in the peer group will be measured 
and ranked.  Emeco will be allocated a percentile rank representing the percentage of companies in the peer 
group that has a lower TSR than Emeco (percentile rank).

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Directorsʼ Report

The LTI securities offer made to Mr Ian Testrow in FY15 was approved by shareholders at the Companyʼs 2016 annual general 
meeting on 14 December 2016. Mr Hawkins ceased employment with the Group on 19 August 2016 and his offer of LTI securities 
was forfeited prior to shareholder approval.   
The minimum value of each grant is zero.  
For LTI securities granted in FY15 the vesting date is the twentieth trading day after the announcement of the Companyʼs annual 
results in 2017.  
The fair value of the LTI securities was determined using a Monte Carlo share price simulation model, and is allocated to each 
reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. The value disclosed in the KMP remuneration table (table 
16) is the portion of the fair value of the securities recognised in FY17.  

5.6  Emeco employee share ownership plan 

Emecoʼs  employee  share  ownership  plan  (ESOP)  was  an  elective  plan  which  was  open  to  all  Australian 
employees between FY08 and FY15.  Under the ESOP, for every five shares acquired and paid for by the 
employee under the ESOP (ESOP shares), Emeco acquired one matching share on market at no cost to the 
employee.  

The  matching  shares  are  subject  to  a  vesting  condition.  Under  the  ESOP,  a  participating  employee  must 
remain employed with Emeco for one year after the end of the calendar year in which the matching shares are 
acquired  (restriction  period).    If  an  employee  resigns  from  the  Group  before  the  expiry  of  the  restriction 
period,  the  matching  shares  are  forfeited.    All  matching  shares  automatically  vest  if  an  employee  is  made 
redundant before the expiry of the restriction period.  

The ESOP shares are held in escrow by the trustee during the restriction period. The ESOP administrator, 
Link  Market  Services,  releases  the  ESOP  shares  from  escrow  at  the  earlier  of  the  expiry  of  the  restriction 
period and the termination of the employeeʼs employment with Emeco.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

1  Reporting entity 

Emeco  Holdings  Limited  (the  ʻCompanyʼ)  is  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  address  of  the  Companyʼs 
registered  office  is  Level  3,  71  Walters  Drive,  Osborne  Park  WA  6017.    The  consolidated  financial 
statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2017 comprise the Company and its 
subsidiaries (together referred to as the ʻGroupʼ). The Group is a for profit entity and primarily involved in 
the provision of safe, reliable and maintained heavy earthmoving equipment solutions to customers in the 
mining industry (refer note 16). 

2  Basis of preparation 

(a)  Statement of compliance 

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been 
prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  (AAS)  adopted  by  the  Australian 
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.  The consolidated financial 
statements  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  adopted  by  the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  were  authorised  for  issue  by  the  board  of  directors  on  30 
August 2017. 

(b)  Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for 
the following material items in the statement of financial position: 

(cid:131)  derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value; 
(cid:131)  assets held for sale at fair value less costs of disposal; and 
(cid:131) 

financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. 

The methods used to measure fair values are discussed further in note 5. 

(c)   Functional and presentation currency 

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Companyʼs 
functional currency. 

The  company  is  a  company  of  the  kind  referred  to  in  ASIC  Corporations  (Rounding  in  Financial 
/Directorsʼ  Reports)  Instrument,  dated  24  March  2016,  and  in  accordance  with  that  Corporations 
Instrument amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand unless otherwise 
stated.  

(d)   Use of estimates and judgements 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  the  AASB  requires 
management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of 
accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.  Actual 
results may differ from these estimates.  

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The impact of revisions 
to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any 
future periods affected. 

The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the 
carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

2  Basis of preparation (continued) 

(d)  Use of estimates and judgements (continued) 

Recognition of tax losses 
In accordance with the Companyʼs accounting policies for deferred taxes (refer note 3(o)), a deferred 
tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable profits will be 
available to utilise these losses. This includes estimates and judgements about future profitability, 
capital structure and tax rates.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions could impact on the 
amount  and  probability  of  unused  tax  losses  and  accordingly  the  recoverability  of  deferred  tax 
assets.  The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are set out in note 12. 

Impairment of assets 
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested 
annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they 
might  be  impaired.  Other  assets  that  are  subject  to  amortisation  are  reviewed  for  impairment 
whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be 
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetʼs carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetʼs fair value less 
costs of disposal and value in use, in accordance with the Companyʼs accounting policy note 3(h)(ii).  
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there 
are  separately  identifiable  cash  flows  (cash  generating  units).  The  Company  applies  significant 
judgement  and  assumptions  in  determining  the  recoverable  amount  of  assets. Changes  in  these 
assumptions could impact the recoverable amount and accordingly impairment.  

Assets held for sale 
In accordance with the Companyʼs accounting policies for assets held for sale (refer note 3(i)), non-
current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if 
it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing 
use. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount 
and  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal.  Fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  includes  estimates  and 
judgements about the market value of these assets. Changes in these estimates and assumptions 
could impact on the carrying amount of these assets held for sale. The carrying amount of assets 
held for sale are set out note 15. 

Business combinations 
In accordance with the Companyʼs accounting policies for business combinations (refer note 3(r)), 
assets and liabilities acquired under business combinations are recognised at their fair value at the 
date of acquisition. Estimates and assumptions have been made about the collectability of trade and 
other  receivables  and  fair  value  of  inventory  and  items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and 
provisions. Refer to note 36 for further information on business combinations and note 5(h) for details 
on determination of fair value.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

2  Basis of preparation (continued) 

(e)  Going Concern 

The directors note that as at 30 June 2017 the Group has positive net current assets of $58,367,000. 
Additional debt acquired during the period in addition to the impairment of goodwill acquired from 
business combinations has resulted in a net asset deficiency of $32,007,000. The Group has also 
made a net loss after tax of $180,463,000 during the period. 

Notwithstanding, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017 has been 
prepared on a going concern basis. This assumes the Company and the Group will be able to realise 
their assets and discharge their liabilities in the normal course of business.  

The directors believe this is appropriate on the basis that the notes do not mature until March 2022 
and the current cash reserves along with forecasted cash flows are sufficient to cover the Companyʼs 
obligations including the payment of interest due on the notes in July 2017 and January and July 
2018. 

3  Significant accounting policies 

4

The accounting  policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these 
consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. 

(a)   Basis of consolidation 
(i)   Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed 
to, or has the rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect 
those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included 
in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date 
on which control ceases. 

(ii)  Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-
group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.  Unrealised 
losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no 
evidence of impairment.  

(b)   Foreign currency 
(i)   Foreign currency transactions 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group 
entities  at  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to the functional currency at 
the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference 
between  amortised  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  period,  adjusted  for 
effective  interest  and  payments  during  the  period,  and  the  amortised  cost  in  foreign  currency 
translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year.  

(ii)   Foreign operations 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising 
on acquisition, are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The 
income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Australian dollars at exchange rates at 
the average exchange rates for the period. 

Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the 
foreign currency translation reserve (FCTR) in equity.  When a foreign operation is disposed of such 
that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related 
to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(c)   Financial instruments 
(i)   Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities recognition and 

derecognition 
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits and debt securities issued on the 
date  when  they  are  originated.  All  other  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  recognised 
initially on the trade date.  

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the 
asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest 
in  such  transferred  financial  assets  that  is  created  or  retained  by  the  Group  is  recognised  as  a 
separate asset or liability.  

5

The  Group  derecognises  a  financial  liability  when  its  contractual  obligations  are  discharged  or 
cancelled, or expire.  

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial 
position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either 
to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

The Group has non-derivative financial assets being: loans and receivables. 

(ii)   Non-derivative financial assets - measurement

Loans and receivables 
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market.  Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable 
transaction  costs.    Subsequent  to  initial  recognition  loans  and  receivables  are  measured  at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.  

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  comprise  cash  balances  and  call  deposits  with  original  maturities  of 
three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in 
their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short term commitments. 

(iii)  Non-derivative financial liabilities - measurement 

The  Group  classifies  non-derivative  financial  liabilities  into  the  other  financial  liabilities  category.  
Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction 
costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost 
using the effective interest rate method unless the Group has applied fair value hedging, in which 
case amortised cost is adjusted to reflect the movement in the fair value of the underlying hedge 
item.  This adjustment is recorded in the statement of profit and loss.   

Other financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, debt securities issued, and trade and other 
payables. 

(iv)   Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting 

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate risk 
exposures.    Derivatives  are  recognised  initially  at  fair  value;  attributable  transaction  costs  are 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  when  incurred.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition,  derivatives  are 
measured  at  fair  value,  and  changes  therein  are  generally  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  unless 
designated as a hedging instrument.

For the year ended 30 June 2017 

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(c)   Financial instruments (continued) 
(iv)   Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting (continued) 

On initial designation of the derivative as the hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the 
relationship  between  the  hedging  instrument  and  hedged  item,  including  the  risk  management 
objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedging transaction and the hedged risk, together with 
the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group 
makes  an  assessment,  both  at  the  inception  of  the  hedge  relationship  as  well  as  on  an  ongoing 
basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be ʻhighly effectiveʼ in offsetting the changes 
in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to hedged risk and whether 
the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80-125 percent.  For a cash flow hedge of a 
forecast  transaction,  the  transaction  should  be  highly  probable  to  occur  and  should  present  an 
exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss. 

Fair value hedges 
The risk being hedged in a fair value hedge is a change in the fair value of an asset or liability or 
unrecognised firm commitment that may affect the income statement. Changes in fair value might 
arise through changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. The Groupʼs fair value hedges 
principally consist of interest rate swaps that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of 
fixed rate long term financial instruments due to movements in market interest rates. The application 
of fair value hedge accounting results in the fair value adjustment on the hedged item attributable to 
the hedged risk being recognised in the income statement at the same time the hedging instrument 
impacts the income statement. If a hedging relationship is terminated, the fair value adjustment to 
the hedged item continues to be recognised as part of the carrying amount of the item or group of 
items and is amortised to the income statement as a part of the effective yield over the period to 
maturity. Where the hedged item is derecognised from the Groupʼs  balance sheet,  the fair value 
adjustment is included in the income statement as a part of the gain or loss on disposal. 

Cash flow hedges 
When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows 
attributable to a particular risk associated with the recognised asset or liability or a highly probable 
forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value 
of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve 
in  equity.  Any  ineffective  portion  of  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the  derivative  is  recognised 
immediately in profit or loss. 

When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is retained in other 
comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which 
the  non-financial  item  affects  profit  or  loss.    In  other  cases  the  amount  accumulated  in  equity  is 
reclassified  to  profit  or  loss  in  the  same  period  that  the  hedged  item  affects  profit  or  loss.    If  the 
hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated 
or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.  If 
the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified in 
profit or loss. 

Other non-trading derivatives 
When a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship that qualifies for 
hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(c)   Financial instruments (continued) 
(v)   Share capital 

Ordinary shares 
Ordinary  shares  are  classified  as  equity.    Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of 
ordinary shares net of any tax effects are recognised as a deduction from equity. 

Purchase of share capital (treasury shares) 
When share capital recognised as equity is purchased by the employee share plan trust, the amount 
of  the  consideration  paid,  which  includes  directly  attributable  costs,  net  of  any  tax  effects,  is 
recognised as a deduction from equity.  Purchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are 
presented in the reserve for own shares net of any tax effects.  When treasury shares are sold or 
reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting 
surplus or deficit on the transaction is transferred to/from retained earnings. 

Dividends 
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. 

Repurchase and reissue of share capital (treasury shares) 
When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which 
includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. 
Repurchased  shares  are  classified  as  treasury  shares  and  are  presented  in  the  reserve  for  own 
shares.  When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised 
as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented in retained 
earnings. 

(d)  Property, plant and equipment 
(i)   Recognition and measurement 

Items of property,  plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated  depreciation and 
accumulated impairment losses. 

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-
constructed assets includes the following: 

the cost of materials and direct labour; 

(cid:129) 
(cid:129)  any  other  costs  directly  attributable  to  bringing  the  assets  to  a  working  condition  for  their 

intended use; 

(cid:129)  when the Group has an obligation to remove the assets or restore the site, and estimate of the 
costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; 
and 
capitalised borrowing costs.

Cost includes transfers from equity  of any gain or  loss on qualifying cash flow  hedges  of foreign 
currency  purchases  of  property,  plant  and  equipment.  Purchased  software  that  is  integral  to  the 
functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. 

When  parts  of  an  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  have  different  useful  lives,  they  are 
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. 

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference 
between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit 
or loss.

(d)  Property, plant and equipment (continued) 
(ii)   Subsequent costs  

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only  when it is probable that the future economic benefits 
associated  with  the  expenditure  will  flow  to  the  Group.  Expenditure  on  major  overhauls  and 
refurbishments of equipment is capitalised in property, plant and equipment as it is incurred, where 
that  expenditure  is  expected  to  provide  future  economic  benefits.  The  costs  of  the  day-to-day 
servicing of property, plant and equipment and ongoing repairs and maintenance are expensed as 
incurred. 

(iii)  Depreciation  

Items of property, plant and equipment, excluding freehold land, are depreciated over their estimated 
useful lives and are charged to the statement of comprehensive income.  Estimates of remaining 
useful lives, residual values and the depreciation method are made on a regular basis, with annual 
reassessments for major items. 

Assets are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, 
from  the  time  an  asset  is  completed  and  held  ready  for  use.   Where  subsequent  expenditure  is 
capitalised  into  the  asset,  the  estimated  useful  life  and  residual  value  of  the  total  new  asset  is 
reassessed and depreciation charged accordingly. 

Depreciation on buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and fittings, office equipment, 
motor vehicles and sundry plant is calculated on a straight line basis.  Depreciation on plant and 
equipment is calculated on a  units of production method  and charged on machine hours  worked 
over  their  estimated  useful  life.    In  certain  specific  contracts,  depreciation  methodology  on  some 
items of plant and equipment are reassessed in line with their effective lives.  In these situations, 
depreciation is recognised in line with the pattern of economic benefits expected to be consumed. 

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Leasehold improvements 
Plant and equipment 
Furniture, fixtures and fittings 
Office equipment 
Motor vehicles 
Sundry plant 

15 years 
3 – 15 years 
10 years

(i) 

Intangible assets
Research and Development 
Expenditure  on  research  activities  is  recognised  in  profit  and  loss  as  incurred.  Development 
expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process 
is  technically  and  commercially  feasible,  future  economic  benefits  are  probable  and  the  Group 
intends  to  and  has  sufficient  resources  to  complete  development  and  to  use  or  sell  the  asset. 
Otherwise,  it  is  recognised  in  profit  and  loss  as  incurred.  Subsequent  to  initial  recognition, 
development expenditure is measured at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated 
impairment losses. 

(ii)  Goodwill 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the 
acquisition  over  the  Groupʼs  interest  in  the  net  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets,  liabilities  and 
contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess is negative, the gain on bargain purchase is 
recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement 
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(e) 
(iii)  Other intangible assets 

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at 
cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.  

(iv)  Amortisation 

Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful 
lives, from the date they are available for use. 

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of 
intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives for the 
current and comparative periods are as follows: 

(cid:129)  Software   

0 – 3 years 

Amortisation  methods,  useful  lives  and  residual  values  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and 
adjusted if appropriate. 

(f)  

Inventories   
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  

The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred 
in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and 
condition.  In  the  case  of  manufactured  inventories  and  work  in  progress,  cost  includes  an 
appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.  

Net  realisable  value  is  the  estimated  selling  price  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  less  the 
estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

Inventory is occasionally sold under a rental purchase option (RPO).  Under the RPO the purchaser 
is entitled to a rebate upon exercising the option.  A charge is recognised against the carrying value 
of inventory on RPOs to reflect the consumption of economic benefits related to that inventory. 

(g)   Work in progress   

Progressive capital work to inventory and fixed assets are carried in work in progress accounts within 
their respective statement of financial position classifications with fixed assets being disclosed as a 
ʻcapital work in progressʼ.  Upon work completion the balance is capitalised.

Impairment  

(h)  
(i)   Non-derivative financial assets 

Financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss are assessed at each reporting 
date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. 

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes:

(cid:129)
(cid:129)

(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)
(cid:129)

default or delinquency by a debtor;
restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider 
otherwise;
indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy;
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers;
the disappearance of an active market for a security; or
observable data indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a 
group of financial assets.

  For an investment in an equity security, objective evidence of impairment includes a significant or 
prolonged  decline  in  its  fair  value  below  its  cost.  The  Group  considers  a  decline  of  20%  to  be 
significant and a period of nine months to be prolonged.  

Financial assets measured at amortised cost 
The Group considers evidence of impairment for these assets measured at both an individual asset 
and  a  collective  level.    All  individually  significant  assets  are  individually  assessed  for  specific 
impairment.  Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that 
has been incurred but not yet individually identified.  Assets that are not individually significant are 
collectively  assessed  for  impairment.  Collective  assessment  is  carried  out  by  grouping  together 
assets with similar risk characteristics.  

In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical information on the timing of recoveries 
and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions 
are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends.  

An  impairment  loss  is  calculated  as  the  difference  between  an  assetʼs  carrying  amount  and  the 
present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the assetʼs original effective interest 
rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group 
considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are 
written off. If the amount of the impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be 
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously 
recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss.  

(ii)   Non-financial assets 

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other 
than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. 
If any such indication exists, then the assetʼs recoverable amount is estimated. 

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates 
cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or 
cash generating units (CGUs).  

The Groupʼs corporate assets do not generate separate cash inflows and are utilised by more than 
one CGU.  Corporate assets are allocated to CGUs on a reasonable and consistent basis and tested 
for impairment as part of the testing of the CGU to which the corporate asset is allocated.

Impairment (continued) 

(h)  
(ii)   Non-financial assets (continued) 

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less 
costs  of  disposal.    Value  in  use  is  based  on  the  estimated  future  cash  flows,  discounted  to  their 
present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time 
value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable 
amount.
Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.    They  are  allocated  to  reduce  the  carrying 
amounts of the assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis. 

(i) 

Assets held for sale  
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-
sale  if  it  is  highly  probable  that  they  will  be  recovered  primarily  through  sale  rather  than  through 
continuing use. 

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and 
fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated to the assets 
and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, 
deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the 
Groupʼs  other  accounting  policies.  Impairment  losses  on  initial  classification  as  held-for-sale  and 
subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss. 

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer 
amortised or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. 

(j)   Employee benefits 
(i)   Defined contribution plans 

A  defined  contribution  plan  is  a  post-employment  benefit  plan  under  which  an  entity  pays  fixed 
contributions  into  a  separate  entity  and  has  no  legal  or  constructive  obligation  to  pay  further 
amounts.  Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee 
benefit  expense  in  profit  or  loss  in  the  periods  during  which  related  services  are  rendered  by 
employees.  Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a 
reduction in future payments is available. 

(ii)   Other long term employee benefits 

The Groupʼs net obligation in respect of long term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit 
that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That benefit 
is discounted to determine its present value. Re-measurements are recognised in profit or loss in 
the period in which they arise. 

(iii)   Termination benefits 

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense  when the Group  is committed demonstrably, 
without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to terminate employment before 
the normal retirement date. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an 
expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be 
accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.

(j)   Employee benefits (continued) 
(iv)   Short term benefits 

Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed 
as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under 
short  term  cash  bonus  or  profit  sharing  plans  if  the  Group  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive 
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation 
can be estimated reliably. 

(v)  Share based payment transactions  

(a)  A management incentive share plan (MISP) allows certain consolidated entity employees to 
acquire shares of the Company. Employees have  been granted a  limited recourse 10  year 
interest free loan with which to acquire the shares. The loan has not been recognised as the 
Company only has recourse to the value of the shares. The arrangement is accounted for as 
an in-substance option over ordinary shares. The grant date fair value of the shares granted 
to employees is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity, 
over the period during  which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the shares.  
The fair value of the MISP granted is measured using a Black Scholes pricing model, taking 
into account the terms and conditions upon which the in-substance options were granted.  The 
amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares that vest 
except where forfeiture is only due to shares prices not achieving the threshold for vesting.   

(b)   A Retention Incentive (RI)  plan allows certain management personnel to receive shares  or 
rights of the Company.  Under the RI, rights or shares granted to each RI participant vest to 
the  employee  after  three  years.    The  2015  long  term  incentive  plan  (LTIP),  included  a 
performance  condition  included  a  performance  hurdle  based  on  relative  total  shareholder 
return (TSR).  The peer group that the Companyʼs TSR is measured against consists of 123 
Companies (this number may change as a result of takeovers, mergers etc.) and includes 16 
Companies  that  are  considered  direct  peers  to  Emeco,  in  addition  to  the  S&P/ASX  Small 
Industrials (excluding banks, insurance companies, property trust companies and investment 
property  trust/companies  and  other  stapled  securities).    The  fair  value  of  the  performance 
rights or shares granted under the LTIP have been measured using Monte Carlo simulation 
analysis and are expensed evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date.  

(c) 

In  FY11  an  employee  share  ownership  plan  (ESOP)  was  established  to  allow  certain 
employees to acquire shares in the Company via salary sacrifice up to a limit of $5,000 each 
year.  For every five shares purchased by the employee, recognised as treasury shares, the 
Company provides one matching share, recognised as a share based payment.  Under the 
ESOP, the matching share will vest to the employee after one year after the end of calendar 
year in which the matching shares are acquired.  These matching shares are fair valued and 
are expensed evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date.  ESOP employees are 
entitled to dividends on the matching share when the dividends are declared.

(j)   Employee benefits (continued) 
(v)  Share based payment transactions (continued) 

(d)  Dividends  received  while  satisfying  the  performance  conditions  of  share  issues  under  the 
MISP are allocated against the employee outstanding loan.  For all previous LTIP and ESOP 
plans, all LTIP and ESOP recipients are entitled to any dividends that are declared during the 
vesting  period.  For  the  Groupʼs  executives,  commencing  with  the  FY13  grant  and  all 
subsequent grants, dividends or shadow dividends will not be paid on any unvested securities 
and dividends or shadow dividends will accrue on unvested LTI securities and will only be paid 
at the time of vesting on those LTI securities that vest, provided all vesting conditions are met. 

(e)  A short term incentive (STI) plan allows the executive leadership team to receive, on board 
approval,  cash  or  shares  of  the  Company  upon  satisfying  performance  conditions.  This  is 
determined  at  the  end  of  each  financial  year  based  on  the  executiveʼs  performance.  The 
performance  conditions  related  to  KPIs  include  EBITDA,  direct  costs,  overheads,  capital 
expenditure,  working capital, free cash flow, sale of idle  assets, safety and  personal goals. 
These benefits are accounted for in accordance with AAS 2 and AAS119. 

(k)  Provisions 

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive 
obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will 
be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future 
cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and 
the risks specific to the liability. 

(i) 

Restructure provision 
A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal 
restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. 
Future operating costs are not provided for. 

(l)   Revenue 
(i) 

Rental revenue 
Revenue from the rental of machines is recognised in profit and loss based on the number of hours 
the machines operate each month. Customers are billed monthly. 

(ii)  Goods sold 

Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of 
the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume 
rebates.  Revenue  is  recognised  when  significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  have  been 
transferred  to  the  customer,  recovery  of  the  consideration  is  probable,  the  associated  costs  and 
possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement 
with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

(iii)  Maintenance services 

Revenue  from  services  rendered  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  in  proportion  to  the  stage  of 
completion of the transaction at the reporting date. 

(m)   Leases 

Leased assets 
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership 
are classified as finance leases. On initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount 
equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent 
to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable 
to that asset.  

Other  leases  are  operating  leases  and  are  not  recognised  in  the  Groupʼs  statement  of  financial 
position.  

Lease payments 
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over 
the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease 
expense, over the term of the lease.  

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense 
and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense 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

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(o)  

Income tax  
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised 
in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other 
comprehensive income. 

(i)  Current tax 

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for 
the  year  and  any  adjustment  to  tax  payable  or  receivable  in  respect  of  previous  years.  It  is 
measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.  

(ii)  Deferred tax 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of 
assets  and  liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for  taxation 
purposes.  

Deferred tax is not recognised for: 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is 
not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; 
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable 
that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; or 
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. 

The  measurement  of  deferred  tax  reflects  the  tax  consequences  that  would  follow  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  is  measured  at  the  tax  rates  that  are  expected  to  be  applied  to  the  temporary 
differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 
date. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the 
same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and 
assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary 
differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which they can be utilised. Deferred  tax assets are reviewed  at  each reporting  date and  are 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. 

(iii)  Tax exposures 

The Company and its wholly owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax consolidated 
group with effect from 16 December 2004 and are therefore taxed as a single entity from that 
date. The entities acquired during the period were added to the tax consolidated group on the 
date of acquisition. The head entity within the tax consolidated group is Emeco Holdings Limited.

3  Significant accounting policies (continued) 

(p)   Discontinued operations 

A discontinued  operation  is a component of the Group's business, the  operations  and cash flows 
of  which  can be clearly  distinguished from  the  rest  of the  Group  and which: 

(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

represents  a separate  major  line  of business  or geographical  area of operations;
is  part  of  a single  coordinated  plan  to  dispose  of  a separate  major  line  of  business or 
geographical  area of operations;  or 
is a subsidiary  acquired  exclusively  with  a view  to  resale. 

Classification  as  a  discontinued  operation  occurs  upon  disposal  or  when  the  operation  meets  the 
criteria to be classified as held for sale or distribution, if earlier.   

When  an  operation  is  classified  as  a  discontinued  operation,  the  comparative  statement  of 
comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the 
comparative year. 

(q)   Segment reporting 

Segment results that are reported to the board of directors include items directly attributable to a 
segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.  Unallocated items comprise 
mainly cash, interest bearing liabilities and finance expense.  

(r)   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 the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the 
Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in 
exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition related costs are generally 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, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to 
employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with AAS 112 
Income Taxes and AAS 119 respectively. 

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.

4  New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not 
yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 
2017. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. 

(i)  AASB 16 Leases (2016) 

AASB16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and 
liabilities for all leases  with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low 
value.  A  lessee  is  required  to  recognise  a  right  of  use  asset  representing  its  right-to-use  the 
underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. 
Management is in the process of assessing the potential impact of the changes to AASB.  The Group 
holds  commitments  that  would  be  impacted  by  the  change  to  this  standard  however  does  not 
consider them to be material as they expire prior to the adoption date of the standard. The Group 
continues to assess the potential impact when reviewing new contracts that would be accounted for 
under this standard. 

(ii)  AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (2015) 

The new standard replaces AASB 118 which covers the revenues arising from the sale of goods and 
the rendering of services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is 
based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a 
customer. Management is in the process of assessing the likely impact of the changes to AASB 15 
and  does  not  believe  the  changes  to  the  standard  will  have  a  material  impact  on  the  financial 
performance and financial position of the Group. 

(iii)  AASB 9 Financial Instruments (2014) 

AASB  9  will  replace  AASB  139:  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and  Measurement.  The  key 
changes  that  may  affect  the  Group  on  initial  application  of  AASB  9  and  associated  amending 
Standards include: 
(cid:129) 

simplifying the general classifications of financial assets into those carried at amortised cost and 
those carried at fair value; 

(cid:129)  permitting entities to irrevocably elect on initial recognition to present gains and losses on an 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

equity instrument that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income (OCI); 
requiring an entity that chooses to measure a financial liability at fair value to present the portion 
of the change in its fair value due to changes in the entityʼs own credit risk in OCI, except when 
it would create an ʻaccounting mismatchʼ; 
introducing  a  new  model  for  hedge  accounting  that  permits  greater  flexibility  in  the  ability  to 
hedge risk, particularly with respect to non-financial items; and 
requiring  impairment of financial assets carried at  amortised cost based on  an expected loss 
approach. 

Management has assessed the likely impact of AASB 9 and does not believe the changes to the 
standard will have a material impact on the financial performance and financial position of the Group.
There is the potential for increased impairment of receivables under the standard which is yet to be 
assessed by Management.

For the year ended 30 June 2017 

5  Determination of fair values 

A number of the Groupʼs accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for 
both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement 
and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about 
the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 

(a)  Property, plant and equipment 

The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is 
the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of acquisition between 
a willing buyer and a willing seller in an armʼs length transaction after proper marketing wherein the 
parties had each acted knowledgeably. The fair value of property, plant and equipment has been 
determined with reference to an independent external valuation in addition to comparisons to similar 
assets currently on market. 

(b)  Trade and other receivables 

The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, are estimated 
as  the  present  value  of  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  market  rate  of  interest  at  the 
measurement date.  Short term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original 
invoice amount if the effect of discounting is immaterial. Fair value is determined at initial recognition 
and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual and interim reporting date. 

(c)  Forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps 

The  fair  value  of  forward  exchange  contracts  is  based  on  the  discounted  value  of  the  difference 
between the rate the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity 
of the contract using a credit adjusted risk free rate.  

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on third party valuations provided by financiers. Those 
valuations are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the 
terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the 
measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to 
take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty when appropriate. 

(d)  Other non-derivative financial liabilities 

Other  non-derivative  financial  liabilities  are  measured  at  fair  value  at  initial  recognition  and  for 
disclosure purposes, at each annual and interim reporting date.  Fair value is calculated based on 
the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest 
at the measurement date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference 
to similar lease agreements. 

(e)  Share based payment transactions 

The fair value of employee share options, management incentive plan shares, long term incentive 
plan and retention incentive plan shares are measured using an option pricing model. Measurement 
inputs include share price on issue, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility, weighted 
average expected life of the instruments, market performance conditions, expected dividends, and 
the  risk  free  interest  rate.  Service  and  non-market  performance  conditions  attached  to  the 
transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value. The employee share ownership 
plan shares are measured at market price at purchase date.

5  Determination of fair values (continued) 

(f) 

Equity and debt securities 
The fair value of equity and debt securities is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid 
price  at  the  reporting  date,  or  if  unquoted  determined  using  a  valuation  technique.  Valuation 
techniques employed include market multiples and discounted cash flow analysis using expected 
future cash flows and a market related discount rate. The fair value of held to maturity investments 
is determined for disclosure purposes only.  

(g)  Assets held for sale 

The fair value of assets designated as held for sale are determined with reference to an 
independent external valuation, market demand and costs of disposal. 

(h)  Business combinations 

The fair value of consideration supplied for the acquisition of entities has been determined using the
market price of the Companyʼs listed share price. The methodology has also been applied to the 
valuation of investments acquired though the business combination. The fair value of property, plant 
and equipment has been determined with reference to an independent external valuation in addition 
to comparisons to similar assets currently on market. The fair value of inventory acquired has been 
valued  determined  with  reference  to  the  most  recent  purchase  of  similar  items  from  external 
suppliers.  The  collectability  of  trade  and  other  receivables  has  been  assessed  and  compared  to 
subsequent receipt of payment in determining the fair value of this asset class.

6  Financial instruments 

Overview 
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: 

credit risk;  
liquidity risk; and 

(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 
(cid:129)  market risk. 

This  note  presents  information  about  the  Groupʼs  exposure  to  each  of  the  above  risks,  the  Groupʼs 
objectives,  policies  and  processes  for  measuring  and  managing  risk,  and  the  Groupʼs  management  of 
capital.  

Risk management framework 
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Groupʼs risk 
management framework. The board of directors has established the audit and risk management committee 
(Committee), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Groupʼs risk management policies.  
The Committee reports regularly to the board of directors on its activities.  

5

The Groupʼs risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, 
to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management 
policies  and  systems  are  reviewed  regularly  to  reflect  changes  in  market  conditions  and  the  Groupʼs 
activities.  The  Group,  through  its  training,  management  standards  and  procedures,  aims  to  develop  a 
disciplined  and  constructive  control  environment  in  which  all  employees  understand  their  roles  and 
obligations. 

The Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Groupʼs risk management policies 
and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced 
by the Group.  The Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the internal audit function.  

Credit risk 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument 
or  financial  asset  fails  to  meet  its  contractual  obligations,  and  arises  principally  from  the  Groupʼs 
receivables from customers.  

Exposure to credit risk 
The  carrying  amount  of  the  Groupʼs  financial  assets  represents  the  maximum  credit  exposure.    The 
Groupʼs maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Trade and other receivables 
The Groupʼs exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. 
However,  management  also  considers  the  demographics  of  the  Groupʼs  customer  base,  including  the 
default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, as these factors may have an influence 
on credit risk.  The Group sets individual counter party limits and where possible insures its rental income 
within Australia and Chile, and generally operates on a ʻcash for keysʼ policy for the sale of equipment and 
parts. 

Both  insured  and  uninsured  debtors  are  subject  to  the  Groupʼs  credit  policy.  The  Groupʼs  credit  policy 
requires each new customer to be analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Groupʼs standard 
payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Groupʼs review includes external ratings, when 
available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer according 
to the external rating and are approved by the appropriate management level dependent on the size of the 
limit.  In the instance that a customer fails to meet the Groupʼs creditworthiness and the Group is unable to 
secure credit insurance, future transactions with the customer will only be assessed on a case by case basis 
and where possible, prepayment or appropriate security such as a bank guarantee or letter of credit. 

Where  commercially  available  the  Group  aims  to  insure  the  majority  of  rental  customers  that  are  not 
considered either blue chip customers, subsidiaries of blue chip companies or Government.   Blue chip 
customers  are  determined  as  those  customers  who  have  a  market  capitalisation  of  greater  than 
$700,000,000 (2016: $700,000,000).  The Australian and Chilean businesses held insurance for the entire 
financial year ended 30 June 2017. 

The  Group  establishes  an  allowance  for  impairment  that  represents  its  estimate  of  incurred  losses  in 
respect  of  trade  and  other  receivables.  The  main  components  of  this  allowance  are  a  specific  loss 
component that relates to individually significant exposures. The specific loss component is made up of 
the insurance excess for insured debts that have been classified as doubtful and uninsured customers that 
are classified as doubtful.  

As at 30 June 2017 the Groupʼs doubtful debts provision for continuing and discontinued operations was
$200,000 (2016: $1,090,000). As at 30 June 2017 the Group recognised bad debt write offs for continuing 
and discontinued operations for a total amount of $23,000 (2016: $4,924,000). 

The  Group  believes  that  the  unimpaired  amounts  that  are  past  due  by  more  than  30  days  are  still 
collectible, based on historic payment behaviour and extensive analysis of the underlying customersʼ credit 
ratings.

Derivatives 
The  Group  also  held  derivative  liabilities  in  relation  to  cross  currency  interest  rate  swaps  and  forward 
exchange rate swaps to the total value of $4,351,000 (2016: asset $18,944,000) at 30 June 2017, which 
represents its maximum credit  exposure  on these  assets.  The interest rate swaps and cross currency 
interest rate swaps are held with bank and financial institution counter parties which are rated greater than 
A-. 

Cash 
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of $16,978,000 at 30 June 2017 (2016: $24,854,000), which 
represents its maximum credit exposure on these assets. The cash and cash equivalents are held with 
bank and financial institution counterparties which are rated greater than AA-. 

Collateral 
Collateral is held for customers that are assessed to be a higher risk.  At 30 June 2017 the Group held 
$116,000 of bank guarantees (2016: $116,000) and $Nil of prepayments (2016: $Nil). 

Guarantees  
Financial  guarantees are generally  only  provided to  wholly  owned subsidiaries or  when  entering  into a 
premise  rental  agreement  or  performance  bonds  for  completion  of  contract.  Details  of  outstanding 
guarantees  are  provided  in  note  29.  At  30  June  2017  $4,172,000  guarantees  were  outstanding  (2016: 
$11,504,000). 

Liquidity risk 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with 
its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Groupʼs approach 
to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its 
liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or 
risking damage to the Groupʼs reputation. 

The Group monitors working capital limits and employs maintenance planning and life cycle costing models 
to price its rental contracts.  These processes assist it in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimising 
cash return in its operations. Typically the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet 
expected operational expenses for a period of 60 days, including the servicing of financial obligations; this 
excludes  the  potential  impact  of  extreme  circumstances  that  cannot  reasonably  be  predicted,  such  as 
natural disasters.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Liquidity risk (continued) 

The Group has issued secured fixed interest notes to the value of US$360,818,000 which matures on 30 
March 2022. The nominal fixed interest rate is 9.25%. These notes will remain fully drawn until maturity. 
Of the notes on issue, the Group holds US$4,890,000 which has been netted off against the total notes 
outstanding. 

The Group has an A$65,000,000 facility that matures in March 2020 which has two sub facilities consisting 
of  a  Revolving  Cash  Advance  Facility  (RCF)  of  A$35,000,000  and  a  Bank  Guarantee  Facility  of 
A$30,000,000. The bank guarantee facility attracts a fee of 2.75% on the unutilised portion of the facility 
and a fee of 5.5% on the outstanding balance of guarantees on issue. The nominal interest rate on the 
RCF is equal to the aggregate of the bank bill swap rate (BBSY) plus a margin of between 5% and 7% 
dependant on the calculated leverage ratio. The facility also attracts an undrawn line fee of between 2.5% 
and 3.5% dependant on the calculated leverage ratio on the undrawn available balance of the facility. 
The facilities require the Group to maintain a collateral coverage ratio greater than 3.0x and a fixed charge 
coverage  ratio  greater  than  1.2x.  At  year  end  the  Group  had  drawn  $Nil  of  the  RCF  but  had  utilised 
$2,729,000 of the bank guarantee facility. 

The Group has a facility agreement comprising a credit card facility with a limit of A$60,000 and foreign 
exchange  forward  contracts.  The  facility  matures  in  December  2016  and  will  be  available  for  general 
corporate  purposes.  The  facility  is  secured  via  a  cash  cover  account.  The  Group  has  a  separate  bank 
guarantee facility of $560,000 which is fully utilised and secured via a cash cover account. 

The  Group  has  finance  lease  facilities  totalling  A$9,801,000  (2016:  A$9,006,000)  which  have  various 
maturities up to November 2020.  

The Group has financed its insurance payments with A$1,584,000 remaining at year end which matures 
in January 2018. 

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments 
and excluding the impact of netting agreements.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Market risk 
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and 
equity  prices  will  affect  the  Groupʼs  income  or  the  value  of  its  holdings  of  financial  instruments.  The 
objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable 
parameters, while optimising the return. 

The Group enters into derivatives, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All 
such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Groupʼs hedging policy. Generally the 
Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss. 

Currency risk 
The  Group  is  exposed  to  currency  risk  on  revenue,  expenditure,  assets  and  borrowings  that  are 
denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily the 
Australian  dollar  (AUD),  but  also  the  United  States  Dollars  (USD)  and  Canadian  Dollars  (CAD).  The 
currencies  in  which  these  transactions  primarily  are  denominated  are  AUD,  USD,  CAD,  Euro  dollars 
(EURO), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and Chilean Peso (CLP). 

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the AUD, the Group aims 
to keep the net exposure to an acceptable level by matching foreign denominated financial assets with 
matching financial liabilities and vice versa. 

Interest on borrowings from the debt facility is generally denominated in currencies that match the cash 
flows  generated  by  the  underlying  operations  of  the  Group,  primarily  AUD  and  USD.  This  provides  an 
economic hedge without derivatives being entered into and therefore no application of hedge accounting. 

The  Groupʼs  investments  in  its  subsidiaries  and  their  earnings  for  the  year  are  not  hedged  as  these 
currency positions are considered long term in nature. 

In March 2017 the Group  cancelled US$282,720,000 of notes in the  144A  high  yield market and  were 
replaced  with  US$360,818,000  new  notes  of  which  US$4,890,000  were  held  by  the  Group.  The  net 
exposure of the notes to the Group at 30 June 2017 is US$355,927,000 of which US$230,000,000 face 
value of the annual coupon has been hedged and US$100,000,000 face value of the principal has been 
hedged to Australian Dollars.  As derivatives have been entered into, hedge accounting has been applied 
to these instruments. At 30 June 2017, the group was unhedged US$125,928,000 face value of the annual 
coupon and US$255,927,000 face value of the net principal outstanding.

Sensitivity analysis 
A weakening of the Australian dollar, as indicated below, against the following currencies at 30 June 2017 
would  have  affected  the  measurement  of  financial  instruments  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  and 
increased/(decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on 
foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end 
of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain 
constant.  The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2016, as indicated below:

Interest rate risk 
In  accordance  with  the  boardʼs  policy  the  Group  is  required  to  maintain  an  appropriate  exposure  to 
changes in interest rates on borrowings on a fixed rate basis, taking into account assets with exposure to 
changes in  interest rates.  This is achieved by  entering into cross currency  interest rate swaps and the 
issue of fixed interest notes.

Cash flow hedges and fair value hedges 
The floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps (hedging instrument) are designated as cash flow hedges through 
equity.  Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss to the extent 
they are effective hedges. The interest rate swaps are designated to hedge the exposure to variability in 
cash flows attributed to market interest rate risk. These instruments were disposed of in September 2016. 

The  fixed-to-floating  interest  rate  swaps  (hedging  instrument)  are  accounted  for  as  fair  value  hedges.  
Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date affects profit or loss.  The interest rate swaps are 
designated to hedge the exposure to liquidity risk through the benchmark interest rate. These instruments 
were disposed of in September 2016. 

The cross currency interest rate swaps (hedging instrument) are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The 
cross currency interest rate swaps are designated to hedge the exposure to variability in foreign exchange 
rates  and  exposure  to  liquidity  risk  through  the  benchmark  interest  rate  of  the  USD  fixed  rate  interest 
payments  on  the  debt  principal  amount  of  the  Companyʼs  outstanding  debt  and  the  foreign  currency 
remeasurement risk arising on the principal balance every 6 months on the Companyʼs outstanding debt.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments 
The Group accounts for a portion of its fixed rate financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, as 
the Group designates derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge 
accounting model. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would affect profit or loss and 
not equity on these instruments. 

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit 
or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign 
currency rates, remain constant.

During the year the hedging relationships were highly effective and no ineffectiveness was recognised in 
the profit or loss for the year.  The hedge relationship is expected to be highly effective throughout the life 
of the hedge and is not expected to impact the profit and loss until the hedge reserve is transferred to the 
profit and loss at the maturity of the hedge.

For the year ended 30 June 2017 

6  Financial instruments (continued) 

Market risk (continued) 

Fair value hierarchy 
The Groupʼs financial instruments carried at fair  value  would be categorised at  level 2  in the fair  value 
hierarchy  as  their  value  is  based  on  inputs  other  than  the  quoted  prices  that  are  observable  for  these 
assets/(liabilities), either directly or indirectly with the exception of certain investments in shares that are 
categorised at Level 1. 

Capital management 
Underpinning Emecoʼs strategic framework is consistent value creation for shareholders.  Central to this 
is the continual evaluation of the Companyʼs capital structure to ensure it is optimised to deliver value to 
shareholders.  The  boardʼs  policy  is  to  maintain  diversified,  long  term  sources  of  funding  to  maintain 
investor, creditor and market confidence and to support the future growth of the business.  

Historically,  the  board  maintained  a  balance  between  higher  returns  possible  with  higher  levels  of 
borrowings and the security afforded by a sound capital position.  However, given current market condition, 
the board seeks to increase levels of cash held to maintain a strong capital position.   

The Companyʼs  primary return metric is return on capital (ROC),  which the Group defines  as earnings 
before interest and tax (EBIT) divided by invested capital defined as the average over the period of equity, 
plus interest bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.

Included in sundry income are fees charged on overdue accounts and bad debts and fees earned on 
through the strategic relationship in Canada.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements  
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

13  Capital and reserves (continued) 

Reserve of own shares (1)
The reserve of own shares comprises of shares purchased on market to satisfy the vesting of shares and 
rights under the LTIP.  Shares that are forfeited under the Companyʼs MISP due to employees not meeting 
the service vesting requirement will remain in the reserve.  230,496,881 treasury shares were issued to 
the  share  trust  during  the  year  and  51,541,768  treasury  shares  were  released  from  the  share  trust  in 
satisfaction of the incentive plans. As at 30 June 2017 the Company held 210,690,767 treasury shares 
(2016: 30,581,304) in satisfaction of the employee share plans. 

Foreign Currency Translation Reserve (1)
The  translation  reserve  comprises  all  foreign  currency  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  the 
financial statements of foreign operations. 

Hedging reserve (1)
The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in fair value of hedging 
instruments used in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition of hedged cash flows. 

Share based payment reserve (1)
The share based payment reserve comprises the expenses incurred from the issue of the Companyʼs 
securities under its employee share/option plans (refer note 3(j)(v)). 

Dividends (1)
No dividends were paid or declared during the year (2016: $Nil) or prior to the release of this report.

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

(a) 

(b) 
(c) 

(d) 

franking credits that will arise from the payment of current tax liabilities and recovery of current tax 
receivables; 
franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year end; 
franking credits that  will  arise from the receipt  of dividends recognised as receivables by  the tax 
consolidated group at the year end; and 
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 
sheet date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $Nil (2016: $Nil).  In accordance with the tax 
consolidation legislation, the Company as the head entity in the Australian tax consolidated group has 
also assumed the benefit of $46,215,000 (2016: $25,518,000) franking credits.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

14  Discontinued operations 

In June 2017 the board resolved to exit the Chilean business after a strategic review of the operations. 
The  boardʼs  decision  to  close  this  business  was  to  address  the  underperformance  in  returns  being 
generated by this business unit. An asset swap was conducted with a third party in June 2017 allowing the 
Company to increase the size of its Australian fleet by 85 units and dispose of the Chilean fleet. The asset 
swap  agreement  took  effect  on  30  June  2017  and  accordingly  as  at  this  date  the  Chile  assets  were 
derecognised  and  the  acquired  assets  were  recognised  in  the  Australia  CGU.  The  fair  value  of  these 
assets  acquired  was  determined  with  reference  to  an  independent  third  party  valuation.  The  FY16 
comparative information has been restated.

15  Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale 

During the year $98,755,000 of non-current assets were transferred from property, plant and equipment 
into non-current assets held for sale. Assets previously classified as held for sale were further impaired by 
$18,380,000 to their fair value less cost to sell based on market prices of similar equipment. 

As  at  30  June  2017,  the  non-current  assets  held  for  sale  comprised  assets  of  $26,421,000  (2016: 
$30,728,000).  These relate to plant and equipment in Australia and one piece of equipment in Chile. Level 
2  fair  value  hierarchy  has  been  used  in  determining  the  fair  value  with  reference  to  an  independent 
valuation utilising observable market valuations. The Group is actively marketing these assets and they 
are expected to be disposed of within 12 months.

16  Segment reporting 

The Group has two (2016: three) reportable segments, as described below, which are the Groupʼs strategic 
business  units.    The  strategic  business  units  offer  different  products  and  services,  and  are  managed 
separately because they require different operational strategies for each geographic region.  For each of 
the strategic  business units, the managing  director and board  of directors review  internal management 
reports  on  a  monthly  basis.    The  following  summary  describes  the  operations  in  each  of  the  Groupʼs 
reportable segments: 

Australia 

Canada 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers in Australia. 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  maintenance  services  to  customers  who  are  predominately 
within Canada. 

Chile 
(discontinued) 

Provides  a  wide  range  of  earthmoving  equipment  and  maintenance  services  to 
customers in Chile. This segment was discontinued in June 2017. 

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured 
based on segment profit before interest and income tax as included in the internal management reports 
that are reviewed by the Groupʼs managing director and board of directors.  Segment earnings before 
interest,  income  tax,  depreciation  and  amortisation  is  used  to  measure  performance  as  management 
believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative 
to other  entities that  operate  within  these industries.   Inter-segment pricing  is determined on an armʼs 
length basis.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

22  Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

Impairment tests for cash generating units 
The Group conducts impairment testing annually at 30 June each year and when impairment indicators 
exist,  such  as  when  market  capitalisation  is  lower  than  the  net  assets  of  the  Group.  The  Group  has 
determined the recoverable amount of its cash generating units (CGU) using a  value  in use  and fair 
value  less  costs  to  sell  methodologies  (2016:  value  in  use).  CGUʼs  are  classified  as  the  operating 
segments of the Group. The Australia CGU was valued on a value in use methodology which is based 
on discounted cash flows for five years plus a terminal value. The Chile CGU was discontinued in June 
2017 and consequently has been valued at Fair Value less Costs to Sell. The Canada CGU was valued 
on a Fair Value less Costs to Sell basis.  

Determining recoverable amount requires the exercise of significant judgements for both internal and 
external factors. Judgements for external factors, including but not limited to equipment hire rates and 
utilisation,  have  been  made  with  reference  to  historical  data  and  observable  market  data  using  a 
combination of consensus views. The recoverable amount estimate is particularly sensitive to hire rates 
and utilisation rates. Judgements for internal factors, including but not limited to applicable discount rate 
and operating costs, have  been made  with reference to historical data and forward looking business 
plans. Changes in the long term view of both internal and external judgements may impact the estimated 
recoverable value. 

Impairment testing is intended to assess the recoverable amount of both tangible and intangible assets. 
Nominal post tax discount rates have been derived as a weighted cost of equity and debt. Cost of equity 
is calculated using country specific ten year bond rates plus an appropriate market risk premium. The 
cost of debt is determined using the appropriate CGU three year swap rate plus a margin for three year 
tenor  debt of equivalently  credit rated  businesses at  30 June 2017. The three  year swap rates  were 
used as the base rate to reflect the relative illiquidity for longer tenure debt in the current market. The 
nominal  post  tax  discount  rates  for  determining  the  Australia  rental  CGU  valuation  was  9.5%  (2016: 
8.9%). For future cashflows of the Australia CGU, the revenue growth in the first year of the business 
reflects  the  best  estimate  for  the  coming  year  taking  account  of  macroeconomic,  business  model, 
strategic and market factors. Growth rates for subsequent years are based on Emecoʼs five year outlook 
taking into account all available information at this current time and are subject to change over time.  A 
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.3% (2016: 2.2%) has been used over the five years of the 
forecast. 

Impairment testing conducted during the year ending 30 June 2017 determined that the Australia CGU 
was  impaired  by  $77,880,000.  The  impairment  was  first  allocated  to  the  goodwill  in  the  CGU  of 
$77,880,000. No impairment was made to the tangible assets of the Australia CGU. Refer to note 8b for 
details of the impairment expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. 

Write down to fair value of assets designated as held for sale 
The table below outlines the amount recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income for each CGU during the year ended 30 June 2017 in relation to the designation 
and disposal of assets designated as held for sale.

Impairment testing sensitivities 
The  CGU  valuations  are  sensitive  to  changes  in  the  discount  rate  and  underlying  fleet  utilisation 
assumptions  for  cashflow  forecasts  and  terminal  value.  The  following  table  presents  the  amount  by 
which  the  impairment  recognised  for  each  CGU  increases  due  to  a  1  percent  drop  in  CGU  average 
utilisation over the forecast period and a 1 percent increase in discount rates.

Bank loans 
The Group extinguished its A$75,000,000 asset backed loan on 31 March 2017 and was replaced with 
a A$65,000,000 revolving credit facility (RCF) consisting of two sub facilities of A$30,000,000 available 
for the issuance of bank guarantees and A$35,000,000 available as a revolving cash advance facility. 
The facility matures in March 2020.  
The bank guarantee facility attracts a fee of 2.75% on the unutilised portion of the facility and a fee of 
5.5% on the outstanding balance of guarantees on issue.  
The nominal interest rate on the RCF is equal to the aggregate of the bank bill swap rate (BBSY) plus a 
margin of between 5% and 7% dependant on the calculated leverage ratio. The facility also attracts an 
undrawn line fee of between 2.5% and 3.5% dependant on the calculated leverage ratio on the undrawn 
available balance of the facility. 
The  facilities  require  the  Group  to  maintain  a  collateral  coverage  ratio  greater  than  3.0x  and  a  fixed 
charge coverage ratio greater than 1.2x. 
At year end the Group had drawn $Nil of the revolving cash advance facility but had utilised $2,729,000 
of the bank guarantee facility.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

27  Share based payments (continued) 

The fair value of services received in return for the performance shares and rights granted during the year 
are based on the fair value of the RIʼs granted, measured using a Black Scholes pricing model (2016: RIʼs 
granted, measured using a Black Scholes pricing model).  Expected volatility is estimated by considering 
the  Companyʼs  historical  daily  and  monthly  share  price  movement  and  an  analysis  of  comparable 
companies.  Volatility  has  not  been  included  in  the  2016  and  2017  valuation  due  to  the  incentives  not 
containing market vesting conditions. Market conditions are detailed in note 3(j)(v). The inputs used in the 
measurement of the fair values at grant date are as follows: 

Fair value of performance 
shares/rights 

Fair value at grant date  
Share price 
Exercise price 
Expected volatility (weighted 
average volatility)

The fair value assumptions for MISPs have no further expense to be recognised and have not changed 
since the fair value was determined at grant date in previous years.  

For the Groupʼs CEO and key management personnel the following applies: 

Dividends: 

(cid:129)  dividends (or shadow dividends) will not be paid on unvested LTI or RI securities; 
(cid:129)  dividends (or shadow dividends) will accrue on unvested LTI securities and will only be paid at the 

time of vesting on those LTI securities that vest, provided all vesting conditions are met; and 

Absolute change in control: 

(cid:129) 
(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

the proportion of vesting LTI or RI securities will be pro-rated to reflect the performance achieved;
the  proportion  of  vesting  LTI  or  RI  securities  will  be  in  accordance  with  the  relevant  TSR  vesting 
schedule for each grant; and 
the board retains the discretion to vest a greater amount.

29  Contingent liabilities 

Guarantees 
The Group has provided bank guarantees in the amount of $4,172,000 (2016: $11,504,000) in relation to 
obligations under operating leases and rental premises. 

Indonesia 
Since the Group announced it would exit its Indonesian operations, the Indonesian tax office commenced 
routine VAT and Corporate income tax audits.  As a consequence the Indonesian tax office have issued 
an assessment which the Group have disputed.  Under local laws an assessment does not become final 
until all appeal avenues have been exhausted.  

The process to liquidate the Indonesian entity has commenced and the Group continues to manage its 
on-going tax and legal obligations in Indonesia. The Group does not believe any potential exposure exists 
in relation to the Indonesian entity.

Emeco Holdings Limited and its Controlled Entities 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
For the year ended 30 June 2017 

36  Business combinations 

Andyʼs Earthmovers (Asia Pacific) Pty Ltd 
On 31 March 2017, Emeco Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the shares in Andyʼs Earthmovers (Asia 
Pacific)  Pty  Ltd  (Andyʼs)  for  total  consideration  transferred  of  $8,788,666  arising  from  the  issue  of 
105,887,545 shares. The issue of Emeco shares was at the market price of $0.083. 

Goodwill of $4,947,000 represents the residual value of the purchase price of the company over the fair 
value of identified tangible and intangible assets.

The trade and other receivables acquired in this transaction with a fair value of $15,439,000 had a gross 
contractual amount of $23,845,517. The best estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash flows not 
expected to be collected is $8,407,000. 

Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd 
On 31 March 2017, Emeco Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the shares in Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd 
(Orionstone)  for  total  consideration  transferred  of  $17,793,598  arising  from  the  issue  of  214,380,704 
shares. The issue of Emeco shares was at the market price of $0.083. 

Goodwill of $72,933,000 represents the residual value of the purchase price of the company over the fair 
value of identified tangible and intangible assets.

The trade and other receivables acquired in this transaction with a fair value of $10,017,000 had gross 
contractual amounts of $15,349,942. The best estimate at acquisition date of the contractual cash flows 
not expected to be collected is $5,332,690. 

Goodwill 
Goodwill  of  $77,880,000  was  recognised  on  the  acquisition  of  Andyʼs  ($4,947,000)  and  Orionstone 
($72,933,000)  and  was  allocated  to  the  Australia  cash  generating  unit  (CGU).  Goodwill  arose  in  the 
acquisition of Andyʼs and Orionstone due to an increase in the Companyʼs share price over the period that 
completion of transaction was delayed in addition to an increase in short term liabilities acquired from both 
businesses. The Company did not intend to provide consideration for the transaction in excess of the fair 
value. Impairment testing indicated the Australia CGU was impaired by $77,880,000. In accordance with 
AASB 136, the impairment was first allocated against the goodwill recognised in the Australia CGU. The 
resulting  impairment  resulted  in  the  goodwill  acquired  during  the  period  being  impaired  to  zero.  An 
impairment expense of $77,880,000 was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income during the period.

Impact of acquisitions on the results of the Group

the acquired businesses.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members 
of Emeco Holdings Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Emeco Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries 
(the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2017, 
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 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 2017 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.  

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

How the scope of our audit responded to the Key 
Audit Matter 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

Reading the purchase agreements to understand
key terms and conditions and confirming our
understanding of the transaction with
management;
Assessing the reliability of third party valuations
including consideration of their competency and
experience which were utilised by management in
the determination of fair value of acquired assets;
and
Reviewing the opening balances of Orionstone and
Andy’s working capital balances and the fair value
adjustments.

We also assessed the appropriateness of the 
disclosures in note 36 to the financial statements. 

Our procedures included, but were not limited to: 

(cid:120) Understanding the process that management

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

undertakes to develop the model;
Comparing the forecasts to Board approved
business plans;
Assessing historical forecasting accuracy by
comparing actual performance to budgets;
In conjunction with our valuation specialists we:
challenged the assumptions and
methodologies used by management;
assessed the discount rate against that of
the industry;
evaluated the operating utilisation
forecasts against historic levels; and
evaluated forecast costs against historic
levels;

o

o

o

o

Testing on a sample basis management’s
impairment model for mathematical accuracy;
Performing sensitivity analysis on forecast cash
flows for changes to the operating utilisation and
discount rate; and

We also assessed the appropriateness of the 
disclosures in notes 8b and 22 to the financial 
statements.  

Key Audit Matter 

Acquisition Accounting 

On 31 March 2017 Emeco Holdings Limited 
merged with Orionstone Holdings Pty Ltd 
and Andy's Earthmovers (Asia Pacific) Pty 
Ltd as disclosed in note 36.  

Accounting for this transaction is complex, 
requiring management to exercise 
judgement to determine the fair value of 
acquired assets and liabilities, including 
separately identifiable intangible assets such 
as customer contracts and determining the 
allocation of purchase consideration to 
goodwill. 

Carrying value of non-current assets 

As disclosed in notes 8b and 22, an 
impairment of $77.9 million was recorded 
against the goodwill recognised from the 
acquisition during the year within the 
Australian Rental Cash Generating Unit 
(CGU). 

Management prepared a value in use model 
to assess the recoverable value of the CGU.  
The preparation of a value in use model 
requires management to exercise significant 
judgement, with key assumptions including 
discount rate, operating margins, and 
forecast operating utilisation.

Other Information 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information included in the annual report, 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:   

(cid:120)

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
from  error,  as 
intentional  omissions,
involve  collusion, 
fraud  may 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

forgery, 

(cid:120) 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.

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

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.

(cid:120)

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.

(cid:120) 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 in pages 25 to 39 of the Directors’ Report for 
the year ended 30 June 2017.  

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of  Emeco Holdings Limited, for the  year ended  30 June 
2017, 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.
