A transformational acquisition

We are proud to present the new 
Envirosuite, an integration of two 
Australian environmental technology 
leaders as we seek to bring the power 
of environmental intelligence to our 
customers and their communities. 

FY2020 has been a year of transformation for Envirosuite, 
a large part of this was the acquisition of EMS Brüel & 
Kjær (EMS), completed on 28 February.  

Following a successful integration which took us up to 1 June 2020, 
we are focused on building the global leader in Environmental 
Intelligence. In parallel, the business has been focused on 
maintaining operational and capital performance in a more 
challenging economic environment. 

From Australia to the world 
The growth of Envirosuite from a small consulting company in 
the 2000’s (Pacific Environment) to a scale up environmental 
technology company in 2016/17 has been an exciting journey. As a 
global leader in air quality and odour, Envirosuite had long coveted 
a strategic entry into the noise and vibration sectors to create 
a true and complete offering across all media of environmental 
media.  

EMS had a similar DNA to Envirosuite, starting as a small 
Australian business in 1990 as Lochard and growing to truly 
become the global leader in noise and vibration monitoring. Whilst 
they have expanded into adjacent markets in recent years such as 
mining and construction, the primary attractiveness of the EMS 
business was the strong market share in airport noise monitoring. 
EMS had a strong share of the global airport market, with over 
200 airports in their portfolio and outstanding renewal revenue 
base. We saw this as a great opportunity to expand their market 
to the remaining 400+ General Aviation (GA) airports which have 
noise monitoring requirements, but also capitalise on the growing 

trend of ‘Green Airports’ emerging in countries like China, where 
air, water and noise monitoring are being mandated by regulators.  

The addition of EMS’s strength in noise monitoring rounds out the 
capability required to offer comprehensive real-time environmental 
intelligence solutions (i.e. covering air, water, and noise). Indeed, 
we are already seeing many examples of our respective customers 
looking at expanding their offerings across both companies’ 
respective capabilities as we work on combining our platforms 
together. 

The complimentary geographies and customer base of EMS was 
also attractive to EVS as we seek to grow a truly global footprint. 
Envirosuite had an established presence in China and South 
America, where EMS is less established, allowing growth in EMS’s 
core airport market, as well as mining. EMS has strength in the 
Scandinavian and French market, which is an area that EVS has a 
less established presence. 

The combination of EMS and EVS will provide a truly global, 
established sales force with multiple contracts across key sectors 
and geographies. 

As we brought both businesses together in March 2020, we set out 
to develop a combined vision and mission as well as our values to 
achieve lasting cultural change. Both businesses have a rich DNA 
in helping industries to grow as well as facilitating the coexistence 
with surrounding communities. We feel our new vision, mission 
and values is truly representative of the history and future of both 
businesses, and now the new Envirosuite.

Envirosuite    Annual Report 2020Strategic Report  /  Directors’ Report  /  Financial ReportChairman’s Report

“Envirosuite has entrenched 
its position as a leading global 
provider of environmental 
intelligence solutions and is 
firmly positioned to actively 
and successfully pursue its high 
growth agenda.”

David Johnstone
Chairman

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The 2020 financial year has been a highly transformative period 
for your company. After undertaking a series of well executed 
and highly strategic major corporate transactions during the 
year, Envirosuite has become a truly global environmental 
technology group, offering its customers the ability to go beyond 
environmental compliance and make fast, confident decisions that 
optimise their operation and environmental outcomes.

This has entrenched Envirosuite’s position as a leading global 
provider of environmental intelligence solutions and firmly 
positioned the company to actively and successfully pursue its high 
growth agenda.

Major transformative corporate events during the period included 
a facilitated and quantified entry into China, the licensing of 
SeweX, the acquisition of EMS Brüel & Kjær Holdings (EMS), and 
the acquisition of AqMB.

Despite the intense focus required to complete all these 
transactions, as well as the external impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic, Envirosuite also achieved significant organic growth.

Acquisition of EMS
The acquisition of EMS has given Envirosuite additional global scale 
and access to a vast existing market in the noise and vibration 
vertical, as well as increasing our annual revenues by more than 
500 per cent. EMS already serves more than 200 of the world’s 
600-plus major airports and we are now seeking to materially 
grow market share by providing new innovations to the global 
airport customer base.

While it has been well publicised that the airline industry has 
suffered greatly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 
global airport market itself is distinct and resilient. Airports 
are essentially monopoly businesses in each region and their 
operations are heavily regulated. Envirosuite is still mission critical 
in enabling and supporting the airports around the world to meet 
their regulatory obligations regardless of flight volumes.

From our own platform data, we have observed that, with the 
move to remote working, people are noticing flight noise more than 
ever. As flight volumes start to return, we anticipate that this trend

Envirosuite    Annual Report 2020Our People
I am extremely proud of our team across every region and what we 
do for our more than 500 customers globally. Enabling some of the 
world’s largest industries including mining, water treatment and 
transport to become environmentally intelligent on the scale that 
we do now is tremendously powerful for the good of communities 
and sustainably optimised industrial productivity.

I would like to thank Adam Gallagher for his tireless efforts 
over the past eight years as a Director, Company Secretary and 
consultant to the business. Adam’s input, passion and drive has 
helped shape what Envirosuite is today and what it will be into the 
future. Using external consultants, the board has commenced the 
process of identifying candidates with the appropriate expertise 
and experience to fill the current Non-Executive Director vacancies 
that exist.

Thank you to all our stakeholders including our shareholders, 
our customers, our staff, strategic commercial and corporate 
partners. The continued support, custom and efforts of all of 
our stakeholders will translate into another year of positive 
transformation and increased value for all.

David Johnstone
Chairman

will continue. This is likely to heighten the demand for our solutions 
and drive demand for new innovations to assist airports to further 
engage with their communities and regulators.

Materially extending our customer value proposition
With our operating platform and offering now firmly in place,  
FY21 will see Envirosuite partnering with our customers in new 
ways - taking out relationships beyond compliance and deeper into 
their operations.

We are well advanced in embedding the power of our unique 
SeweX Intellectual Property (IP) in the Envirosuite platform 
to model the impact and effect of chemicals in waterpipe 
infrastructure networks to extend and prolong the life of these 
assets. To complement the incorporation of SeweX into our value 
proposition, we are transitioning our recently acquired AqMB IP 
and assets into products that will allow our wastewater treatment 
customers to better understand and optimise their chemical 
inputs. Once operational, this will open up another major channel 
of commercial opportunities.

Our initial study of AqMB’s benefits to customers indicated a cost 
saving of up to 35 per cent for a typical treatment plant facility. 
This presents an opportunity for Envirosuite to embed itself deeper 
in an industry sector that is already increasingly subscribing to the 
Envirosuite platform for the management of odour issues.

Outlook
With a series of transformative strategic corporate transactions 
now successfully bedded down we are extremely well placed to 
take the newly consolidated and single Envirosuite Group into  
FY21 and beyond.

Whilst it is impossible to predict the future impact of COVID-19, 
our operations and customer base have so far proved resilient. 
We have a high growth agenda in the rapidly growing sector of 
environmental intelligence, and we are excited to share our story 
and our solutions with customers and capital markets. We have 
welcomed an increased institutional shareholder base that joins 
the significant holdings of the board and management and we are 
working together to increase company value for all shareholders. 
We are facing the future with unprecedented optimism and 
confidence.

Dear Shareholders,

FY20 was one of intense strategic focus and successful execution 
which saw Envirosuite establish all the necessary building blocks 
to achieve strong future growth as a global leader in the rapidly 
expanding sector of Environmental Intelligence.

Envirosuite now has the scale, technology, software, partners, 
talent and geographic reach to move aggressively towards 
achieving our ambitious targets for FY21 and beyond.

To achieve this position despite the global disruption and 
uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic is a credit to  
the entire Envirosuite team and augurs extremely well for our 
future success.

EMS acquisition accelerating growth
The targeted acquisition of EMS increased the scale of 
Envirosuite’s business by a factor of five tmes.

Incorporating the technology into Envirosuite’s platform will 
provide for an on-going subscription-based offering with a highly 
compelling return on investment (ROI) proposition for our customers.

The acquisition has taken Envirosuite into the environmental 
noise and vibration disciplines which expand our deep experience 
in air quality, dust, odour and water. It has created a business 
with scale, strong recurring revenue and the geographic footprint 
to deliver our vision of creating the world’s leading end-to-end 
Environmental Intelligence software platform and ecosystem for 
our existing and future customers.

The integration of the EMS business into Envirosuite began on 1 
March 2020 and finished in May 2020, on time and on budget with 
projected operational synergies in the order of $11m per annum by 
the end of calendar year 2020.

The year ahead will see us move to fully capitalise on the strategic 
advantage gained from the EMS acquisition, which will form a 
major pillar of our growth going forward.

Entry into the China market
Envirosuite has long sought to find the appropriate Chinese 
partner to make an effective entry into China. It achieved this 
in September 2019 through a partnership with ZZL Pty Ltd. The 
new partnership agreement allowed Envirosuite to confidently 
and rapidly establish a dedicated entity and team in China to take 
advantage of the Chinese government’s long-term “Beautiful 
China” initiative, of which air and water quality is a key focus 
across the country.

Envirosuite is now very well positioned to provide its full range of 
technology solutions to the China market across each of its key 
focus sectors of airports, waste and wastewater, mining, and 
industrial cities.

From a standing start in November 2019, Envirosuite has already 
received more than $5m in new sales orders as a result of the 
new China partnership. This achievement in new market share 
sets a strong foundation and solid track record to gain the higher 
quantum orders that the Company is now actively pursuing.

Materially expanding our offering and depth in Water 
Technology
Envirosuite’s product vision is to help our customer unlock value 
beyond compliance, by going deeper and broader into operations 
to help optimise performance and output. The Company has 
invested in two important and customer-focused new technology 
areas in the Water sector.

SeweX

In November 2019, the Company signed an exclusive global IP 
licence agreement with UniQuest, the University of Queensland’s 
commercialisation arm, to take their award-winning SeweX 
technology to a global market. Our development team is now 
building on the existing SeweX model and integrating it into 
Envirosuite’s real-time platform to address the escalating multi-
billion dollar corrosion challenges facing sewerage and collection 
networks around the world.

The addition of SeweX to Envirosuite’s wastewater solutions is 
aimed at significantly reducing core operating and capital costs 
for network operators through predicting corrosion and odour-risk 
priority areas, as well as calibrating and optimising chemical dosing 
for wastewater treatment.

To date SeweX has been successfully trialled by the University of 
Queensland in projects with several major water authorities.  

AqMB

After a successful trial in the second half of FY20, Envirosuite 
acquired AqMB, a R&D software company that developed software 
technology specifically designed – and now shown – to materially 
increase processing efficiencies by reducing chemical and energy 
operating costs in wastewater treatment plants by up to 35 
per cent. AqMB combines deterministic modelling and machine 
learning for calibration to create a digital twin for performance 
forecasting of chemical and biological processes in water 
treatment plants to predict and optimise operations.

For Envirosuite’s existing and future wastewater treatment plant 
customers, this acquisition takes Envirosuite well beyond the 
compliance orientated nature of odour management solutions, 
and into our customers core operations helping them to directly 
address two of their most significant and universal challenges.

In the coming year Envirosuite will launch its new solution 
incorporating the AqMB technology and target its compelling ROI 
case to a global list of more than 25,000 wastewater treatment 
plant sites that could benefit from the product.

Operational Overview
The Company’s FY20 financial results were materially affected 
both positively and negatively by the acquisition of EMS, as well 
as the China partnership and various costs associated with 
establishing Envirosuite’s growth platform for the future. Total 
revenue rose by almost 210% to $23.9m reflecting the inclusion of 
post-acquisition revenues from EMS, the new China operations 
and organic growth from Envirosuite’s original operations. Gross 
profit rose almost 240% to $7.4m. Net loss after tax was $18.2m 
compared to a loss of $6.0m the previous year.

As foreshadowed in the Company’s most recent sales update, the 
FY20 result includes the full impact of the costs associated with 
the acquisition of the EMS business, payments associated with the 
China partnership deal and various other costs. This has enabled 
Envirosuite to start FY21 as a fully integrated company with no 
anticipated material additional restructuring or integration costs.

Leadership at Envirosuite
During the latter half of FY20, Envirosuite consolidated its 
executive team, appointing experienced General Managers for 
each of our five geographic regions, a General Counsel who will 
also take on the responsibilities of Company Secretary, as well as 
recruiting a highly experienced Chief Operating Officer, and Chief 
Financial Officer, These C-level appointments add a wealth of 
global technology experience and investment finance to our team.

I would also like to thank Robin Ormerod, a founder of Envirosuite 
who has decided to retire, although he will continue to provide 
expert consulting services to Envirosuite. Robin has a deep love 
of science and is passionate about applying this to solving the 
problems of our customers. Over the years Robin has been 
instrumental in the shaping of Envirosuite’s product portfolio and 
corporate direction. He continually strived to improve our offerings 
for the benefit of our customers and his focus has ensured that 
Envirosuite remains ahead of its competitors.

Balancing global focus with local market needs
During the year, Envirosuite adopted an organisational model 
where the five major geographical regions (Asia Pacific, China, 
North America, South America, and Europe and Middle East 
(EMEA)) are responsible for sales and deployment.

Envirosuite    Annual Report 2020Strategic Report  /  Directors’ Report  /  Financial Report 
The Australia-based teams are responsible for R&D, corporate 
management and support functions. The business now has mainly 
six industry sector focuses: Airports, Mining, Industrial, Waste and 
Wastewater, Cities, and Construction.

The following graphs show the current revenue run-rate breakdown 
by Region and by industry sector.

Over the next three years we expect the key growth sectors to  
be Waste and Water, Heavy Industry, and Mining. We anticipate 
that the major growth regions will be China, Asia Pacific and  
North America.

The effects of COVID-19 and airports resilience
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many participants in the 
airports sector, most notably airlines. Fortunately for Envirosuite, 
the requirement to monitor noise is mandated by local legislation 
and is not connected to flight volume. We have seen some pressure 
on our airport customers, that has led to delays of new spend on 
short-term capital projects. Our recurring airport revenue base has 
remained very firm and largely unaffected. The airport business 
historically has very low churn in recurring revenues of less than 1% 
and the pandemic has shown true resilience in this business.

While we already serve some 35% of the world’s major airports, 
we believe that we are only scratching the surface of the airport 
market opportunity. We are developing new offerings which  
we expect will be highly attractive to the post-COVID airport 
markets. These solutions focus on engagement with the 
community, as well as value added services to help the airports in 
times of reduced staffing.

FY21 and beyond

We are in an exciting stage of the Company’s journey as we move 
on from integration and bed down our industry leading IP. With 
the establishment of the China platform, the integration of EMS 
complete, the licensing of SeweX and acquisition of AqMB, the 
major focus we have for FY21 is to leverage these platforms and 
technologies to significantly grow the customer and recurring 
revenue base.

While always attuned to possibilities that may present themselves 
in the market, we have have a mission to create world-leading 
technology solutions that produce actionable insights from 

environmental data so our customers can realise their full 
potential. We believe that the foundations laid over the past year, 
combined with the work performed in years prior, will allow the 
Company to achieve $100m of revenue on a run-rate basis in the 
next three years and continue to capture a significant portion of 
the $2.3bn market1 in the years ahead by going deeper with our 
customers; broadening our technology roadmap and capabilities; 
and pursuing additional growth in under-developed markets and 
geographies. This strategy is summarised below

We have built up the team over the last two years from 25 FTE 
at the commencement of the 2017 financial year to 70 people 
globally at the close of the 2019 financial year. This includes 
the recent hiring of senior level of management in areas such 
as  Sales  and  General  Management,  Project  Delivery  and 
Global Marketing. Otherwise most of this growth has been in 
sales and client facing support roles to sustain and service our 
revenue growth.  As far as this organic growth is concerned, 
we expect the growth rate in staff numbers to taper down in 
the coming year as we have now formed a strong base from 
which we can continue to achieve our targeted growth rate.  

I  would  like  to  thank  all  our  staff  for  their  efforts  over  the 
past  year.    A  high  growth  rate  always  adds  extra  stress  and 
pressure  on  employees  and  our  people  have  responded  to 

this challenge with dedication, positivity and focus.

The Coming Year

For the coming year the Company has maintained the same 
target as for the previous two years, to double its ARR.  This 
target  is  therefore  to  achieve  $12  million  ARR  by  the  end  of 
June 2020.   While it is acknowledged that this is an ambitious 
goal,  there  are  several  new  activities  that  the  Company 
intends to undertake and to achieve during the coming year.

This  strategy  will  involve  a  “business  as  usual”  approach 
for  the  majority  of  our  sales  force  focused  on  the  various 
sectors  by  region  as  per  Figure  5.    This  BaU  approach  will 
be  supplemented  with  a  small  group  focused  on  winning  

business via other initiatives such as:

•  Multi-site  and  Corporate  level  deals  –  we  have  hired 
resources to focus exclusively on this area as we believe 
it is the fastest way to achieve rapid expansion.

• 

functionality  to  enable  us  to  expand 

Solution  broadening  –  we  are  investigating  ways  to  
attract  a  bigger  “share  of  wallet”  from  our  existing 
client  base.    This  will  see  us  broadening  our  solution 
into  more 
operational  areas  of  our  clients’  business,  making 
our  solution  a  “need  to  have”  versus  a  “nice  to 
have”.    Examples  include  deepening  our  solution  in

•

•  Continue cementing our China strategy and business, 
which is evident in our recent wins and AqMB trial with

The  Company  may  consider  acquisitions  if  we  identify 
opportunities to rapidly increase our client base through 
acquisition  of  a  company  with  a  solution  that  can  be

1 - Includes transaction and integration costs connected with the EMS acquisition of of $2.3m, amortisation of intangibles from EMS acquisition of $0.9m, and share-based 

payments of $3.2m.

Total revenues for the Group for the financial year ending 30 June 2020 was $23.9m (2019: $7.7m) with recurring revenues of $17.9m 
(2019: $3.6m). The Group’s China operations, which commenced in December 2019, began to contribute revenue during the current 
financial year with total revenue of $3.0m, which was primarily from non-recurring equipment sales which are the part of the initial 
entry into the market. The increase in recurring revenue was attributable to organic growth from the Envirosuite platform as well as the 
acquisition of EMS. Recurring revenues represented 75% of total revenue, a significant increase over the prior comparable period as FY19 
had some large one-off project related income items, while FY20 project related income was subdued due to COVID-19 travel restrictions 
and the impact on the airports sector.

Net loss after tax was $18.2m (2019: loss of $6.0m) with the 2020 financial year impacted by $5.5m in one-off and non-cash items 
comprised of $2.3m of costs associated with the acquisition and integration of the assets of EMS business, and $3.2m of non-cash share 
based payment expense for options and performance rights issued to Directors and employees which include options issued to Zhigang 

14

Envirosuite    Annual Report 2020Zhang in connection with the agreement with ZZL Pty Ltd. While the allotment of options incurs a non-cash expense in accordance with 
the accounting standards, if all the options issued to Directors and employees are exercised the Company would receive a total of $13.7m 
in cash.

After adjusting for one-off and non-cash items, operating expenses were $11.2m higher in FY20 over the prior comparable period of which 
$8.0m is attributable to the inclusion of the EMS business and an additional $0.9m from amortisation of intangibles acquired as part of 
the EMS acquisition. The Group has also continued to invest in the development of the technology and people as part of broadening of the 
Envirosuite platform.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA)

EBITDA is calculated by adding back depreciation, amortisation and interest from net loss before tax. Adjusted EBITDA also adds back 
share-based compensation expense, foreign currency gains and losses, capitalised internally developed software costs, and transaction 
and integration costs connected with acquisitions which are seen as non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impacts of adopting 
AASB 16 as the application of the standard results in operating expenses being excluded from EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are 
non-GAAP measures that are key financial measure used by management to assess the performance of the underlying business.

In June 2020, the Company announced restructuring of its operations as a result of the integration of the EMS business, which included

basis by March 2021.

Financial Position

The net assets of the consolidated Group have increased from $12.3m at 30 June 2019 to $126.0m as at 30 June 2020. The Group 
received gross proceeds of $98.0m from capital raises completed during the reporting period, including $84.0m raised in February 2020 
in connection with the acquisition of EMS. On 28 February 2020, the Company acquired EMS for $107.1m, of which $74.2m was paid in 
cash from the capital raised with the residual paid in equity and options issued to Macquarie Capital and the minority shareholders of 
EMS Bruel & Kjaer Holdings Pty Ltd that were valued at $32.9m.

Cash and cash equivalents increased as a result of the cash proceeds raised from the capital issued during the year after reducing for 
the proceeds paid for the EMS business. As at 30 June 2020, there was still $4.2m due to be paid as final closing payments in relation to 
working capital adjustments determined post-completion. This obligation has been included on the balance sheet within trade and other 
payables and will reduce cash in H1 FY21. 

15

Envirosuite    Annual Report 2020Strategic Report  /  Directors’ Report  /  Financial ReportCash used in operating activities increased by $6.9m as a result of the investments made in building out the platform during the financial 
period as well as the integration costs incurred connected with the EMS acquisition. Noting the additional cash raised during the financial 
period, combined with the cost reduction initiatives announced by the Company in June 2020 the Directors are of the view that the Group 
will continue to be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and have prepared the financial report on a going concern basis.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

On 28 February 2020, the Group completed the acquisition of EMS Bruel & Kjaer Holdings Pty Ltd. The acquisition was funded from 
gross proceeds raised through the issuance of additional shares, as well as the issuance of shares to Macquarie Corporate Holdings and 
minority shareholders of EMS. The EMS business provided the Group with additional capabilities in noise and vibration monitoring and 
significantly increased the size of its operations globally. 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, airports around the world reduced operations due to reduction in flight volumes. Approximately 
75% of the revenues from the EMS business is received from customers that own or manage airports, of which approximately 85% is 
recurring revenue and only 15% relates to one-off capital expenditure on discrete projects. While the reduction in airport traffic has 
delayed new capital spend and thus had a negative impact on non-recurring project and product revenue generated by the Group in FY20, 
it did not have a material impact on recurring revenue or the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Dividends paid or recommended
No dividends were paid by the Company to members during the financial year. No dividends were recommended or declared for payment, 
but not paid, to members during the financial year.

Events after the reporting period
On 17th August 2020, the Company acquired 100% of water modelling R&D technology software company AqMB Holdings Pty Ltd for a 
total consideration of A$1.35m. No other matters or circumstances other than those disclosed in this report have arisen since the end of 
the financial year that significantly affected, or could significantly affect, the operations of the consolidated Group, the results of those 
operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated Group in future financial years.

Likely developments and expected results of operations
There are no likely developments in the operations of the Group that were not finalised at the date of this report. Additional comments on 
expected results of certain operations of the Group are included in this annual report under the Chairman’s Statement and CEO’s Report.

Environmental regulation
The Group is not subject to any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory, in which 
the group operates.

No option holder has any right under the options to participate in any other share issue of the Company or any other related entity.

During the financial year, 10,700,000 shares were issued on the exercise of options. No amounts are unpaid on any of the shares. No 
options have lapsed post balance date.

Indemnification and insurance of officers or auditor
During the year, the Group paid insurance premiums for a Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy. This policy covers Directors and 
Officers of the Group. In accordance with normal commercial practices under the terms of the insurance contracts, the disclosure of the 
nature of the liabilities insured against and the amount of the premiums are prohibited by the policy.

No indemnities have been given or insurance premiums paid, during or since the end of the financial year for the auditor of the Group.

Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the company with leave of the Court under section 237 of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

Non audit services
Fees paid or payable to PKF Brisbane Audit, being the auditor the Group for non-audit and other assurance work, during the year ending 
30 June 2020 totaled $112,724 (2019: nil). Amounts paid to PKF and its related practices for non-audit and other assurance work totaled 
$198,207 (2019: 22,496)

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor are outlined 
in note 5 to the financial statements. 

The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm 
on the auditor’s behalf), is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. 

The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in note 5 to the financial statements do not compromise the external 
auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

•  all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; 

and 

•  none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for 

Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the 
auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the company, acting as advocate for the company or 
jointly sharing economic risks and rewards

Auditor’s independence declaration
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on 
page 26.

Rounding of amounts
The Company is an entity to which Legislative Instrument 2016/191 applies and accordingly amounts in the financial 
statements and directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Executive pay

(i) 
The objective of the Group’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the 
results delivered. The framework seeks to align executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for 
shareholders and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward.

The Board seeks to ensure that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good governance practices:

•  competitiveness

•  shareholder alignment

•  performance

•  transparency and simplicity

•  capital management

The Group has structured an executive remuneration framework that it believes is market competitive and complementary to the 
objectives of the organisation.

The executive pay and reward framework generally has three components:

19

Envirosuite    Annual Report 2020Strategic Report  /  Directors’ Report  /  Financial ReportFixed remuneration

Base Pay

•  Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component 

Performance-based remuneration

Short-term Incentives (STI)

of pay and rewards. 

•  There are no guaranteed base pay increases included in any executives’ contracts. 

•  Retirement benefits are delivered under the Australian superannuation legislation at 
9.5% of base salary for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, up to the maximum 
superannuation contribution base.

•  Base pay is structured as a total remuneration package which may be delivered 

as a combination of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits at the executives’ 
discretion

•  STI is provided to certain executives equivalent to 10-30% of their base pay, where payment 
is dependent upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions. STI is provided in form of 
cash

•  For executives other than Executive KMPs, in the prior year the performance conditions were 
based around an achievement of new ARR contracts awarded. From FY20, the performance 
conditions are typically based on a combination of new ARR contracts awarded, revenue, 
EBITDA and personal targets. 

Long-term incentives (LTI)

•  LTI is provided to certain executives equivalent to 10% of their base pay, where 

the award is dependent upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions and 
payment is dependent upon the executive remaining employed by the Company 
during the vesting period which is typically 2 years.

•  Executive KMP are awarded LTIs upon entering into an employment contract with 

the Company where vesting conditions are split between remaining employed by the 
Company and share price performance. Details of these awards to Executive KMP 
are discussed further below.

•  LTI is provided to certain executives via various allotments of options to subscribe for 
ordinary shares in the Company or via Performance Rights that convert to ordinary 
shares on attainment of applicable performance criteria. 

Remuneration and other terms of employment for executive key management personnel are formalised in service or employee 
agreements. Each of these agreements provides for the provision of performance related cash bonuses, when eligible. All service 
agreements are reviewed annually by the directors.

Chief Executive Officer’s remuneration

During FY20, Mr White earned a base salary of $300,000 inclusive of statutory superannuation entitlements. In addition, Mr White 
was entitled to an STI of 5% of the value of the first year of license fee component from new Envirosuite sales, with claw back provisions 
should the licensee default.

On 1 July 2020 Mr White and the Company entered into a new employment agreement under which Mr White earns a base salary of 
$300,000 plus statutory superannuation entitlements. Under the new employment agreement, Mr White is entitled to an STI of 30% 
Base Pay based on the Group meeting stated EBITDA targets (1/3), Sale Order Growth (1/3) and Mr White meeting certain stated 
personal objectives (1/3). Mr White is eligible for an additional STI of up to $20,000 subject to short-term EBITDA targets being met. In 
addition, Mr White is entitled to the following Performance Rights as an LTI (subject to shareholder approval at the next Annual General 
Meeting of the Company) covering the period 1 July 2020 and expiring 30 June 2023:

•  1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares, in the event that the Company’s share price as listed on the Australian Securities Exchange 

(ASX) reaches $0.50 per share and remains at or above $0.50 per share for a continuous period of 30 days thereafter;

•  1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares if the Company’s share price as listed on the ASX reaches $0.75 per share and remains at or 

above $0.75 per share for a continuous period of 30 days thereafter;

•  1,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares if the Company’s share price as listed on the ASX reaches $1.00 per share and remains at or 

above $1.00 per share for a continuous period of 30 days thereafter;

•  500,000 fully paid ordinary shares upon the Executive remaining in the Company’s employment as at 30 June 2021, and a further 

500,000 fully paid ordinary shares upon the Executive remaining in the Company’s employment as at 30 June 2022.

These new share-based incentive arrangements are still subject to shareholder approval.

A termination payment of six months applies in the event of change in control and a notice period of three months applies on termination.

date. Mr Cooper receives the following compensation: 

•  Fixed Remuneration: Base cash salary of $280,000 plus statutory superannuation entitlements.

Company Secretary

Mr Gallagher was the Company Secretary for the entire financial year for which he earned a fee of $7,500 per month on a contract basis. 
The role includes a number of additional accountabilities beyond what is generally expected from a Company Secretary including assisting 
in the management of corporate transactions together with the Company’s advisors, investor communications, and undertaking various 
other duties as required by the business that are within the incumbent’s skill-set. 

On 30 June 2020, the Company announced that Mr Gallagher was resigning from the Board effective 31 July 2020 and would be stepping 
down as Company Secretary effective 31 August 2020. Ms Rachel Ormiston, Envirosuite General Counsel, assumed the additional role of 
Corporate Secretary on 24 August 2020. Due to the increased size of the management team post the acquisition of EMS Bruel & Kjaer 
Holdings Pty Ltd, and the fact that Ms Ormiston is not a director of the Group, Ms Ormiston is not deemed to be a KMP of the Group.

The Company has agreed to retain Mr. Gallagher’s services for a monthly fee of $15,000 per month plus GST from 1 August 2020 to 31 
December 2020.

The assessed fair value at grant date of options granted to the individuals is allocated equally over the period from grant date to vesting 
date, and the amount is included in the remuneration tables above. Fair values at grant date are determined using a Black & Scholes 
option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date 
and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

For the Financial Year Ended 30 June 2020 

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Envirosuite Limited and controlled entities (the 
“Consolidated Group” or “Group”).  

The separate financial statements of the parent entity, Envirosuite Limited, have not been presented within this financial 
report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Parent entity financial information is disclosed in Note 25. 

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 27 August 2020 by the directors of the company.

Summary of significant accounting policies 

BBaassiiss  ooff  pprreeppaarraattiioonn  

The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations 
Act 2001. The Group is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.  

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the Australian Accounting Standards Board has concluded 
would result in financial statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. 
Material  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the  preparation  of  these  financial  statements  are  presented  below  and  have  been 
consistently applied unless stated otherwise. 

CCoommpplliiaannccee  wwiitthh  IIFFRRSSss  aass  iissssuueedd  bbyy  tthhee  IIAASSBB  

Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that this Financial Report complies with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Consequently, this Financial 
Report is compliant with IFRS. 

BBaassiiss  ooff  MMeeaassuurreemmeenntt  

Except for cash flow information, the financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical 
cost,  modified,  where  applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and 
financial liabilities. 

CCoommppaarraattiivvee  PPeerriiooddss  

Comparative periods presented in these financial statements have been restated to align with current year presentation with 
the exception of the impacts of adopting AASB 16 Leases as at 1 July 2019 where comparatives have not been restated. 

CCrriittiiccaall  aaccccoouunnttiinngg  eessttiimmaatteess  aanndd  jjuuddggeemmeennttss  

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge 
and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current 
trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. The following are: 

Measurement of ECL allowance for trade receivables - The measurement of the ECL allowance for trade receivables 
relies on estimates of expected credit losses to be incurred for trade receivables taking into account historical losses 
and the financial condition of the customer. Refer to Note 1(j) for further discussion.  

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets – the Group tests goodwill and other intangible assets, including 
capitalised software development costs, for impairment in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 1(o). 
These calculations require the use of assumptions regarding the future profitability of the cash generating units to 
which the goodwill and intangibles have been allocated, as well as future cash flows related to the intangible asset. 
Refer to Note 13 for details of the assumptions used in determining the value in use and fair value of goodwill and 
other intangible assets.  

Valuation  of  options  –  the  Group  has  issued  share  options  in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  EMS  Bruel  &  Kjaer 
Holdings as well as to employees and Directors as compensation for services. The valuation of these options is based 
on  using  a  Black-Scholes  valuation  model  that  relies  on  various  assumptions  Including  the  beta  of  the  stock  and 
dividends. 

Recovery  of  deferred  tax  assets  -  Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible  temporary  differences  if 
management  considers  that  it  is  probable  that  future  taxable  profits  will  be  available  to  utilise  those  temporary 
differences. Sufficient management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can 
be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits over the next two years together 
with future tax planning strategies.

 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) 

COVID-19 Pandemic – Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has or may 
have on group. This consideration extends to the nature of services offered, customers, supply chains, staffing and 
geographical regions in which the Group operates in. Other than addressed above or in specific notes, there does not 
appear either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to 
events or conditions which may impact the group unfavorably as a reporting date or subsequently as a result of the 
COVID-19 Pandemic. The board continues to actively monitor the situation 

((bb)) 

PPrriinncciipplleess  ooff  ccoonnssoolliiddaattiioonn  

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (Envirosuite Limited) 
and all of the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or 
has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power 
over the entity. 

A list of subsidiaries is contained in note 19 to the financial statements. 

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the 
date on which control is obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control 
ceases. 

Intercompany  transactions,  balances  and  unrealised  gains  or  losses  on  transactions  between  entities  in  the  Consolidated 
Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made 
where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

((cc)) 

BBuussiinneessss  CCoommbbiinnaattiioonnss  

Business  combinations  occur  where  an  acquirer  obtains  control  over  one  or  more  businesses.  The  acquisition  method  of 
accounting is used to account for all business combinations, unless it is a combination involving entities or businesses under 
common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained, whereby the fair value 
of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited 
exemptions).  

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent 
consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is 
not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset 
or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss, unless the 
change in fair value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. 

All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial 
instrument, are recognised as expenses in the profit and loss when incurred. The acquisition of a business may result in the 
recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. 

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of: 

• 

• 

• 

the consideration transferred; 

any non-controlling interests; and 

the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  any  previously  held  equity  interest;  over  the  acquisition  date  fair  value  of  net 
identifiable assets acquired. 

Adjustments  may  be  made  to  fair  value  of  net  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  to  goodwill  after  the  acquisition  date  if 
additional  information  is  obtained  about  facts  and  circumstances  related  to  the  acquired  business  that  existed  at  the 
acquisition date. However, no further adjustments are made to the acquisition balance sheet and initial goodwill recognised 
beyond one year from the acquisition date. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is 
not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. 

Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-
generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the 
goodwill arose. 

Changes  in  the  ownership  interests  in  a  subsidiary  that  do  not  result  in  a  loss  of  control  are  accounted  for  as  equity 
transactions and do not affect the carrying amount of goodwill.

Functional and presentation currency 

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent 
entity’s functional currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the 
transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured 
at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured 
at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in 
equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge. 

Group companies 

The financial results and position of foreign operations, whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation 
currency, are translated as follows: 

• 

• 

• 

assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; 

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 

retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

The following is a summary of the revenue recognition for each revenue stream: 

Recurring revenue 

Platform subscription revenues and maintenance and support services related to monitoring equipment provided by the group. 
These revenues are recognised over time being over the term of the contracts, based on the effort incurred by the group as 
the services are provided. 

Non recurring revenue 

One-off  services  provided  by  the  group  and  from  the  sale  of  monitoring  equipment.  Revenues  from  these  activities  are 
recognised at a point in time as the services are performed or equipment is delivered, in line with the performance obligations 
implicit in the respective contracts. Revenue is recognised in line with the achievement of identified performance obligations 
per each specific contract at amounts appropriate to the completion of the performance obligation. 

Revenue received in advance is recognised when the Group has received a greater amount of revenue from the customer than 
it is entitled to recognise, in accordance with the revenue recognition policies of the Group.

Government grants and rebates 

The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 

in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the parent 

entity’s functional currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the 

transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured 

at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured 

Grants and rebates from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the 
grant or rebate will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions. Government grants and rebates 
relating to costs are deferred and recognised as income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are 
intended to compensate. Government grants and rebates relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and the 
development of IT and software capital costs are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and are credited to 
income on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. 

Interest income 

at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined. 

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in

Employee benefits includes wages and salaries, bonuses, annual leave and long service leave. Certain employees are awarded 
share based payments in the form of options and/or performance rights, which entitle the employee to shares in Envirosuite 
Limited upon certain vesting conditions being met.  

A liability is recognised for employee benefits in the period that the service is performed where the Group has a present legal 
or constructive obligation to pay the amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be 
estimated reliably.  

Short-term obligations 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled within 12 months 
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees' services 
up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave where the employee has a current entitlement is recognised in the provision 
for employee benefits. All other short-term employee benefit obligations are presented as payables. 

Long-term employee benefit obligations 

The liability for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled within 12 months after the end of the 
period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as 
the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the 
reporting period. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and 
periods  of  service.  Expected  future  payments  are  discounted  using  market  yields  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  on 
Australian Corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash 
outflows. 

Share based payments 

Share  based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to  employees  and  directors  via  the  Envirosuite  Limited  Employee  Share 
Option Plan and the Envirosuite Limited Executive Performance Rights Plan. Information relating to these schemes is set out 
in note 22. 

The fair value of options granted under the Envirosuite Limited Employee Share Option Plan is recognised as an employee 
benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the 
fair value of the options granted, which includes any market performance conditions but excludes the impact of any service 
and non-market performance vesting conditions and the impact of any non-vesting conditions. 

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total 
expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be 
satisfied. At the end of each period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based 
on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, 
with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 

Under the Envirosuite Limited Executive Performance Rights Plan, performance rights are issued to employees providing them 
with a right to shares for no cash consideration. Under this plan, the Company has the right to settle the performance right 
for  cash  rather  than  issue  equity.  The  expense  for  these  performance  rights  is  recognised  over  the  vesting  period  with  an 
offsetting increase to share-based payment reserves. When equity is issued upon vesting of performance rights, the share-
based payment reserve is transferred to ordinary shares.

Termination benefits 

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee 
accepts  voluntary  redundancy  in  exchange  for  these  benefits.  The  Group  recognises  termination  benefits  when  it  is 
demonstrably  committed  to  either  terminating  the  employment  of  current  employees  according  to  a  detailed  formal  plan 
without  possibility  of  withdrawal  or  providing  termination  benefits  as  a  result  of  an  offer  made  to  encourage  voluntary 
redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after reporting date are discounted to present value.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to 
a business combination, or items recognised directly in Other Comprehensive Income or in equity. In this case, the tax is also 
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. 

Current Tax 

Current  tax  expense  charged  to  the  profit  or  loss  is  the  tax  payable  on  taxable  income.  Current  tax  liabilities/(assets)  are 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. 

Deferred Tax 

Deferred tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as 
unused tax losses. 

Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax is not recognised 
for: 

• 

• 

• 

temporary differences on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not business combination 
and that neither affects accounting nor taxable profit nor loss; 

temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint arrangements to the extent that 
the Company is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not 
reverse in the foreseeable future; and 

taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.  

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date 
and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future 
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  offset  when  a  legally  enforceable  right  of  set-off  exists  and  when  the  deferred  tax 
balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally 
enforceable  right  to  offset  and  intends  either  to  settle  on  a  net  basis,  or  to  realise  the  asset  and  settle  the  liability 
simultaneously. 

Envirosuite Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As 
a consequence, these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set 
off in the consolidated financial statements. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Envirosuite Limited also 
recognises  the  current  tax  liabilities  and  the  deferred  tax  amounts  arising  from  unused  tax  losses  and  unused  tax  credits 
assumed from controlled entities in the tax Consolidated Group. 

Goods and Service Tax 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable 
from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 
which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts 
from customers or payments to suppliers. 

Envirosuite Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities except Envirosuite Holdings Pty Ltd are grouped for 
GST.

The Group has a single business model for its financial assets whose objective is hold the assets to collect contractual cash 
flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets include trade receivables which are initially recognized 
when they are originated. Trade receivables are typically due within 30 to 90 days of the invoice being issued and are initially 
measured at the transaction price. 

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to

Measurement of ECLs  

The Group recognises loss allowance for expected credit loss (ECLs) on trade receivables and contract assets. The Company 
measures  loss  allowances  using  the  simplified  approach  under  AASB  9,  which  is  an  amount  equal  to  lifetime  ECLs.  Loss 
allowances for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.  

When determining whether the credit risk of a trade receivable has increased significantly since initial recognition and when 
estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue 
cost  or  effort.  This  includes  both  quantitative  and  qualitative  information  and  analysis,  based  on  the  Group’s  historical 
experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information. In assessing credit risk, customers were 
disaggregated based on various industry groups, location and customer size. 

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a trade receivable has increased significantly if it is more than 90 days past due. 
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:  

• significant financial difficulty of the customer;  

• a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due; or  

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls 
(i.e.  the  difference  between  the  cash  flows  due  to  the  entity  in  accordance  with  the  contract  and  the  cash  flows  that  the 
Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.  

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. 
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a 
financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. 

((kk)) 

IInnvveennttoorriieess  

The Group acquires and manufactures environmental monitors and sensors and related parts, which are initially accounted 
for as inventory. 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. Provisions are made to write down slow-moving, excess and obsolete items to net realisable value, 
based on an assessment of technological and market developments and on an analysis of historical and projected usage with 
regard to quantities on hand.  

Where monitors and sensors are used for demonstration purposes or when customers enter into a contract to use monitors 
and sensors where the Group retains ownership, the monitor and sensor is transferred from Inventories to Property, plant and 
equipment and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its useful life. If the monitor and sensor is returned at the end of 
the contract, it is not transferred back to Inventories but is retained in Property, plant and equipment. The cost to install the 
equipment at the customer’s site is expensed as incurred.

Recognition and measurement  

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment 
losses. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the 
expenditure will flow to the Group. If significant 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 and loss on disposal 
of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation  

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the 
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated 
over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership

Costs incurred in developing products or systems and costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that will contribute to 
future period financial benefits through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are capitalised to software and systems. 

Costs  capitalised  include  external  direct  costs  of  materials  and  service  and  direct  payroll  and  payroll  related  costs  of 
employees'  time  spent  on  the  project.  Amortisation  is  calculated  on  a  straight  line  basis  over  7  years  for  each  completed 
project module. Amortisation commences on each module only when complete. 

Research and development 

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design 
and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after 
considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be 
measured reliably. The expenditure capitalised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, 
direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria 
are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an 
asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised from the point 
at which the asset is ready for use on a straight line basis over its useful life. 

Impairment 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assess whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The 
assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is 
carried out on the asset by comparing the assets carrying value to its recoverable amount being the higher of an asset's fair 
value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for 
which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets (cash generating units). 

Goodwill and 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.

at which the asset is ready for use on a straight line basis over its useful life. 

Impairment 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assess whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The 

assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is 

carried out on the asset by comparing the assets carrying value to its recoverable amount being the higher of an asset's fair 

which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 

groups of assets (cash generating units). 

Goodwill and 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.

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are 
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 to 90 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are 
presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially 
at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

((qq)) 

LLeeaassee  lliiaabbiilliittiieess  

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments at the commencement date of the 
lease,  discounted  using  the  interest  rate  implicit  in  the  lease  (or  if  that  rate  cannot  be  readily  determined,  the  lessee’s 
incremental  borrowing  rate).  Lease  payments  are  allocated  between  principal  and  interest  with  the  interest  component 
recognised in the income statement as part of finance expense. Any variable lease payments not included in the measurement 
of  the  lease  liability  are  recognised  in  the  income  statement  within  operating  expenses  in  the  period  in  which  the  event  or 
condition that triggers those payments occurs. 

Lease  liabilities  are  remeasured  when  there  is  a  change  in  future  lease  payments  arising  from  a  change  in  lease  term,  an 
assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, or a change in the estimated amounts payable under the lease. 
When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying value of the Right of use asset, or 
in the income statement if the carrying value of the Right of use asset has been fully written down. 

((rr)) 

PPrroovviissiioonnss  

Provisions  for  legal  claims  and  make  good  obligations  are  recognised  when  the  Group  has  a  present  legal  or  constructive 
obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and 
the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. 

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by 
considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to 
any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present 
obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments 
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is 
recognised as interest expense

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, 
from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business 
are not included in the cost of the acquisition as part of the purchase consideration. 

If  the  entity  reacquires  its  own  equity  instruments,  for  example  as  the  result  of  a  share  buyback,  those  instruments  are 
deducted  from  equity  and  the  associated  shares  are  cancelled.  No  gain  or  loss  is  recognised  in  the  profit  or  loss  and  the 
consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is recognised directly in equity.

Basic earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: 

• 

• 

the  profit  or  loss  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  Company,  excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than 
ordinary shares and 

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements 
in ordinary shares issued during the year.

Diluted earnings per share 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: 

• 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and 

the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all 
dilutive potential ordinary shares.

AASB 16 Leases 

The Company has adopted AASB 16 Leases as of 1 July 2019. The new standard requires lessees to account for all leases within 
the scope of the standard as finance leases with the recognition of a right-to-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet 
in connection with all former operating leases. The Group leases building space and data centres in various locations around 
the  world  that  may  be  required  to  be  recognised  on  the  balance  sheet  with  depreciation  of  the  right-to-use  asset  being 
recorded within the statement of comprehensive income.  

Transition 

The new standard has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of adopting AASB 
16 being recognised in equity as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the current period. Prior periods 
have not been restated. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is, or 
contains, a lease at 1 July 2019. Instead, the Group applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as 
leases applying AASB 117 and AASB Interpretation 4 at the date of initial application.  

Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the Group has relied 
on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial application of AASB16.  

On transition, the Group recognised right of use assets of $209,000 and lease liabilities of $209,000. The impact of the AASB 
16 adoption is presented below:

Financial risk management 

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, principally related to credit, liquidity, and foreign currency risk. The Chief 
Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are responsible for managing financial risk exposures of the Group. 
The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign 
exchange risk, credit risk, and investment of excess liquidity. 

((aa)) 

CCrreeddiitt  rriisskk  

The Group is exposed to the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual  obligations.  Credit  risk  arises  principally  from  the  Group’s  receivables  from  customers.  The  Group’s  maximum 
exposure to credit risk at the balance date is the carrying amount of financial assets, net of any provisions for impairment and 
excluding the value of any other collateral or other security.  

The gross trade and other receivables balance at 30 June 2020 was $12,812,000 (2019: $1,557,000) and the aging analysis of 
trade receivables is provided in Note 8. The Group exposure to credit risk is affected by the regions and industries the Group’s 
customers operate in. The majority of the Group’s customers are airports and water and waste operators around the world 
with a growing exposure to customers within the mining industry.  

Trade receivables are managed on an ongoing basis. The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single 
debtor. Aging analysis and ongoing collectability reviews are performed and, when appropriate, an expected credit risk loss 
provision is raised. Historically, the Group has not had any significant write-offs in its trade receivables, which includes the 
historical period during which the EMS businesses operated prior to the acquisition in February 2020.  

((bb)) 

LLiiqquuiiddiittyy  rriisskk  

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. As at 30 
June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $24,385,000 (2019: $7,564,000). The Group generated net loss after 
tax  of  $18,236,000  though  this  included  $3,154,000  of  non-cash  share  based  payments  and  $2,263,000  of  non-recurring 
transition and integration costs related to the acquisition of EMS.  

In June 2020, the Company announced head count reductions and other cost saving initiatives that are forecasted to reduce 
overhead costs by $8 million. Based on the cash available to the Group and the cost saving initiatives already implemented, 
the Board and management are of the view that the Company has sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for at 
least the next 12 months without needing to raise additional capital.  

((cc)) 

FFoorreeiiggnn  ccuurrrreennccyy  rriisskk  

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument or forecasted transaction will fluctuate 
because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group operates internationally and as such has exposure to foreign currency 
movements. Approximately 67% of the Group’s revenue for the period ended 30 June 2020 was earned in foreign currency 
(2019: 42%). The Group primarily has exposure to Euro (“EUR”), US dollars (“USD”), Canadian dollars (“CAD”), British pound 
(“GBP”), and Chinese renminbi (“RMB”) from cash balances and trade receivables which are partially offset by trade and other 
payables, employee provisions and borrowings in those currencies. The table below shows the impact to comprehensive income 
before tax from a 10% increase and 10% decrease in the foreign currency exchange rate against the Australian dollar (“AUD”).

Segment information 

The Group is organised into five geographic operating segments: Asia-Pacific ('APAC'), China, North America, South America, 
and  Europe,  Middle-East  and  Africa  ('EMEA')  plus  a  central  Corporate  segment  which  contains  costs  that  are  managed 
centrally that are not allocated to the geographic segments. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that 
are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors, (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers) in assessing 
performance and in determining the allocation of resources.  

Segment assets and liabilities are not presented as they are not regular provided to the chief operating decision makers.

Customer  relationships  with  cost  value  of  $4,557,000  are  included  within  Other  intangibles  along  with  brand  value  and 
intellectual property. Goodwill and other intangibles acquired during the year relate to the acquisition of the EMS business 
and the acquisition of Beijing Hengliruiyuan Environmental Engineering Co. Ltd. Refer to Note 20 for further details of the 
business combination. 

IImmppaaiirrmmeenntt  tteessttss    

The Group has identified that there are five (5) regional Cash Generating Units which are aligned with the operating segments 
disclosed in Note 3 and against which goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated and tested.  

The recoverable amount of internally developed software is determined based on a relief-from-royalty method (value-in-use) 
method, which is based on the theory that the intangible asset owner would be willing to pay a reasonable royalty to use the 
intangible  asset  assuming  that  they  did  not  already  own  the  asset.  These  calculations  use  revenue  projections  based  on 
financial forecasts approved by management covering a five year period with a terminal value included. A royalty rate of 7% 
has been applied against these revenue projections to calculate the assumed royalty which is then discounted using a weighted 
average cost of capital of 9.1% (FY19: 14.3%). Based on this calculation, there was no impairment charge to be recorded against 
internally developed software (FY19: nil).  

There was no impairment charge recorded against goodwill, software, or other intangible assets during FY20 (FY19: nil). 

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse global economic impact, however, it is not possible to accurately determine the 
future  nature,  extent  or  duration  of  the  impact  on  the  group,  material  or  otherwise,  at  the  date  of  signing  the  financial 
statements. The directors of the group have considered the potential impacts of COVID-19 and do not believe that based on

recognised under AASB 16. The Group also has standing credit facility arrangements with banks of $479,000 (2019: $284,000) 
of which $181,000 was available as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $118,000). The Group generated an operating cash outflow of 
$11.3m for the year ending 30 June 2020 (2019: $4.3m). The Group focuses on rolling cash flow forecasts to ensure that it has 
sufficient funding available from cash and cash equivalents to fund operations.

Share based payments 

The Group issued options and performance rights to employees and Directors as compensation for services provided. As part 
of the acquisition of EMS in February 2020, the Group also issued shares and options as partial consideration for the 
acquisition as disclosed in Note 20. 

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee  RRiigghhttss  

The Company issues performance rights to employees that provide them with the right to acquire shares for no 
consideration upon certain vesting conditions being met, including remaining employed with the Company, and/or share 
price performance. There was 5,405,266 Performance Rights issued during the year (2019: 5,997,180). 

EEmmppllooyyeeee  sshhaarree  ooppttiioonn  ppllaann  aanndd  sscchheemmee  

The establishment of the Employee Share Option Plan was approved by the Board prior to the IPO of Envirosuite Limited 
(formerly: Pacific Environment Limited). The plan is designed to provide long term incentives for employees and executive 
directors to deliver long term shareholder returns. Participation in the plan is at the Board's discretion and no individual has 
a contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. 

The amount of options that will vest depends on the individual contracts agreed by Envirosuite Limited. Once vested, the 
options remain exercisable for a period of up to seven years after the grant date. When exercisable, each option is 
convertible into one ordinary share on the day of the next Board meeting or within 15 business days, whichever is earlier. The 
exercise price of options is pre-determined in the individual option agreements. 

Options were issued to employees under the Envirosuite Limited Executive Share Option Scheme. Under this scheme, options 
granted vest as specified under the individual option. The options are not forfeitable but lapse on the date specified in the 
individual option agreement. If an employee ceases employment the options vest immediately and the employee has seven 
days to exercise the option at the current market price or the original exercise price, whichever is greater. If the employee 
does not exercise the options, the options lapse.

Earnings per share (continued) 

There are 147,833,333 in share options issued but not included in diluted earnings per share as these would have an 
antidilutive effect on earnings per share. These potential ordinary shares are antidilutive as their conversion to ordinary 
shares would decrease loss per share. If these share options were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, 
the weighted average number of shares used in the denominator would be 767,730,125.

DDaavviidd  JJoohhnnssttoonnee,,  CChhaaiirrmmaann  

27 August 2020 

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Envirosuite Limited (the company), which comprises 
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated income statement and 
statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  notes  comprising  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 
policies  and  other  explanatory  information,  and  the  directors’  declaration  of  the  company  and  the 
consolidated  entity comprising  the company and  the entities  it controlled at  the year’s end  or from time to 
time during the financial year.  

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

i) 

Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 
and of its performance for the year ended on that date; 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion.  

Independence 

We are independent of the consolidated entity 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  (including  Independence 
Standards) (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.

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 of the current period. These matters was 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. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed these matters 
is provided in that context. 

1.  Carrying amount of intangible assets with finite useful lives 

Why significant 

  How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

As  at  30  June  2020  the  carrying  value  of  intangible 
assets  with  finite  useful  lives  was  $19,555,000  (2019: 
$5,199,000), as disclosed in Note 13. 

The  consolidated  entity’s  accounting  policy  in  respect 
of intangible assets with finite useful lives is outlined in 
Note 1.  

The carrying amount of intangible assets with finite 
useful lives is a key audit matter due to: 

• 

• 

the  significant  audit  effort  required  to  test  the 
carrying amount of intangible assets with finite 
useful lives; and 
the  level  of  judgement  applied  in  evaluating 
management’s assessment of impairment. 

As outlined in Notes 1 and 13, management assessed 
the carrying amount of intangible assets with finite 
useful lives through impairment testing utilising a value 
in use model in which significant judgements are 
applied in determining key assumptions. The 
judgements made in determining the underlying 
assumptions in the model have a significant impact on 
the carrying amount of intangible assets with finite 
useful lives, and accordingly the amount of any 
impairment charge, to be recorded in the current 
financial year. 

In assessing this key audit matter, we involved senior 
audit team members who understand the industry. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

evaluating management’s methodology for 
determining the carrying amount of intangible 
assets with finite useful lives by comparing the 
value in use model with generally accepted 
valuation methodology and accounting 
standard requirements; 
conducting sensitivity analysis on key 
assumptions such as weighted average cost of 
capital (WACC) and growth rates, within 
reasonable foreseeable ranges; 
challenging the key assumptions used in the 
value in use model by: 
- assessing growth rates used in comparison to 
historical results 
- evaluating the WACC rate used in comparison 
to market and industry information available 
- assessing yearly revenue forecasts in 
comparison to historical results and approved 
budgets 
- assessing the impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic on all key assumptions  
assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  related 
disclosures in Note 13.

Key  audit  matters  are  those  matters  that,  in  our  professional  judgement,  were  of  most  significance  in  our 

audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters was 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

As  at  30  June  2020  the  carrying  value  of  intangible 

assets  with  finite  useful  lives  was  $19,555,000  (2019: 

$5,199,000), as disclosed in Note 13. 

The  consolidated  entity’s  accounting  policy  in  respect 

of intangible assets with finite useful lives is outlined in 

Note 1.  

The carrying amount of intangible assets with finite 

useful lives is a key audit matter due to: 

• 

• 

the  significant  audit  effort  required  to  test  the 

carrying amount of intangible assets with finite 

useful lives; and 

the  level  of  judgement  applied  in  evaluating 

management’s assessment of impairment. 

As outlined in Notes 1 and 13, management assessed

• 

assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the  related

2.  Business combination – including allocation of goodwill 

Why significant 

  How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

During the year, the consolidated entity acquired the 
shares of EMS Bruel & Kjaer Holdings Pty Ltd.  

In assessing this key audit matter, we involved senior 
audit team members who understand the industry. 

As disclosed in Note 13 & 20, as part of the business 
combination transaction, the consolidated entity 
allocated the purchase price, net of cash $102,178,000 
to the following balances: 

•  Provisional goodwill: $88,898,000 
•  Other intangible assets: $13,960,000 
• 
Tangible assets: $3,508,000 
•  Deferred tax liability: $(4,188,000) 

Provisional goodwill allocated in the purchase 
represents 56% of total assets for the consolidated 
entity. 

Business combination – including allocation of goodwill 
is a key audit matter due to: 

• 

• 

• 

the  material  size  of  provisional  goodwill 
recorded; 
the  significant  audit  effort  required  to  test  the 
consolidated entity’s acquisition of EMS Bruel 
& Kjaer Holdings Pty during the year; and 
the  level  of  judgement  applied  in  evaluating 
management’s  assessment  of  provisional 
goodwill allocated in the purchase. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

review of purchase documentation including 
contracts and share sale agreements; 
obtaining a detailed understanding of the 
acquired business including reviewing due 
diligence procedures and reports; 
assessing the appropriateness of the external 
experts purchase price allocation report, 
including the valuation methodology of the 
assets acquired; 
assessing the expertise and experience of the 
external expert engaged by management; 
reviewing management’s fair value assessment 
of the assets and liabilities acquired;  
reviewing management’s assessment of the fair 
value of the consideration paid, including 
reviewing the fair value of options granted as 
part of the consideration paid; 
reviewing management’s assessment of the 
identifiable intangible assets identified as part of 
the acquisition and the useful lives of assets 
identified; 
assessment of management’s goodwill 
allocation as part of each practice acquisition; 
and 
assessing the appropriateness of the 
disclosures in relation to both the business 
combination and intangible assets acquired 
included in Notes 1, 13 & 20. 

Other Information 

Those  charged  with  governance  are  responsible  for  the  other  information  in  the  annual  report.  Other 
information  is  financial  and  non-financial  information  in  the  annual  report  of  the  consolidated  entity  for  the 
year ended 30 June 2020, 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, accordingly, the auditor does 
not and will not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of 
the remuneration report.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information. In doing 
so,  we  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. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information in the 
financial report and based on the work we have performed on the  other information that we obtained prior 
the date of this auditor’s report we have nothing to report. 

Directors’ Responsibilities 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 consolidated entity’s ability 
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 consolidated entity or to 
cease operations, or have 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in 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  Australian Auditing  Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

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

•  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 consolidated entity’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. 

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  Directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  and, 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or 
conditions  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  consolidated  entity’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  consolidated  entity  to  cease  to 
continue as a going concern.

so,  we  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  financial  report  or  our

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information in the 

financial report and based on the work we have performed on the  other information that we obtained prior

Directors’ Responsibilities 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 consolidated entity’s ability 

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 consolidated entity or to 

cease operations, or have 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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individual or in aggregate, they 

could  reasonably  be  expected  to  influence  the  economic  decisions  of  users  taken  on  the  basis  of  this 

financial report. 

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

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 
activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the  consolidated entity financial report. 
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the consolidated entity up 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,  actions  taken  to  eliminate 
threats or safeguards applied.  

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 

As part of  an  audit in accordance with  Australian Auditing  Standards, we exercise professional judgement 

and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

We  have audited the  remuneration  report  included  in  the directors’ report for the year ended Tuesday,  30 
June 2020.  

• 

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  fraud  may  involve 

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•  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 consolidated entity’s internal control. 

In  our  opinion,  the  remuneration  report  of  Envirosuite  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020,  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.  

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. 

PKF BRISBANE AUDIT 

•  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  consolidated  entity’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  consolidated  entity  to  cease  to 

continue as a going concern.
