Chairman’s Report    

The Company’s net revenue increased by 4.25% to $90.327 million (2019: $86.641 million).  

Loss after tax was $2.169 million (2019: $3.858 million loss). Underlying EBITDA of $2.672 million 

was up from $1.092 million in 2019. 

The results reflect the continuing high feed price for much of the year, increased egg prices and 

tighter supply from external supply sources. 

While we indicated in last year’s report such conditions were likely to continue into FY20, we 

believed that much of the impact would have subsided by the end of the first half and trading 

conditions would be on a stronger footing in the second half of FY20. 

Unfortunately, these unfavourable trading conditions have persisted in the second half of FY20 and 

were made more difficult by the onset of COVID 19. The ensuing shutdown of the foodservice and 

hospitality sectors and continuing restrictions on these industries in Victoria particularly, have had a 

negative impact on our ingredient sales and margin derived from these channels in H2. The loss of 

sales in these sectors has impacted year on year ingredient sales by 7%. 

The increase in borrowings as at 30 June 2020 to $19.441 million (2019: $14.667 million) was 

primarily applied to the purchase of capital plant and equipment associated with factory and farm 

upgrades.  

Net cash used in investing activities was lower in FY20 at $3.664 million (2019: $4.242 million), 

demonstrating a tighter and more efficient application of capital during the year. An increase in 

inventory to $6.011 million (2019: $4.858 million) was a result of lower ingredient sales due to 

COVID in H2 which has been managed during this period. 

Progress made 

Overall, the business has made great progress during this past 12 months growing its share of 

market in the supermarket channel and, despite COVID, strengthening its relationships with key 

ingredient customers. The business is confident that this will result in further new business in the 

near future for this important income stream. Much work has been undertaken developing our farm 

network and capacity to meet the forward needs of an evolving focus on cage free eggs and to 

ensure the business remains relevant in this developing market.   

Capex in the past year has been focused on developing farm capacity and key infrastructure 

reliability at grading and processing level as part of our 3-year plan ‘Managing for Value’. Much of 

this plan focuses on improving productivity and efficiency of our assets, realising asset value where 

required and necessary, and developing our people, the business IP and planning capability in order 

to be a more proactive business. The last twelve months has seen the business advance its 

functional and strategic management ranks to support this plan in the next two years and beyond. 

Subsequent event 

As we report our FY20 results we also need to update on a ‘subsequent event’ which has been 

recently advised and reported. In August, the business was impacted by an Avian Influenza outbreak 

centred on the company’s farm operations in the Lethbridge area South West of Melbourne. As we 

have previously stated we operate in an agriculture-based industry which from time to time is subject 

to operational risks such as drought, increased feed costs, flock disease and hen welfare concerns. 

The impact is restricted to two of our farms in Lethbridge. Farm Pride operates a dispersed 

geographical model for its farm operations ensuring our farms are protected from any single disease 

outbreak or biosecurity breach and that any outbreak is limited to a single area of operation.  

On this occasion this model has protected our other farms and operations and limited the issue to 

two farms at Lethbridge.

Chairman’s Report 

Farm Pride Foods Limited and Controlled Entities 

Directors’ Report 

Proactive response 

The company took immediate proactive and precautionary steps prior to any formal detection of the 
virus to ensure supply chain integrity for our customers and consumers, staff safety and to minimise 
any impact on brand or business reputation. We believe these proactive decisions and the 
professional manner in which Farm Pride management and staff have worked with and assisted the 
authorities has helped limit the impact to volume and revenue interruption only.   

The business is now focused on implementing a recovery program for the farms affected with the 
view to re-establish production at these farms as quickly as possible. The company continues to 
work with authorities in support of this recovery plan and to finalise compensation for the outbreak. 
The company is also working with its key customers and we thank them for their continuing support 
during this difficult time. As outlined under ‘Subsequent Events’, the management are also 
implementing a number of initiatives to increase working capital during this time of recovery including 
the sale and potential lease back of selected farming assets. The company has briefed and 
continues to keep its lender updated on the plans and timetable for recovery including a range of 
initiatives to support this program. The lender is supportive of the recovery plan based on the plan 
outlined.  

Challenging Times 

In summary, a challenging year for Farm Pride Foods and the industry. At our last AGM our CEO 
outlined the need for Farm Pride to implement initiatives and processes that would help buttress the 
business against continuing unfavourable conditions. Certainly, we have done much of this during 
the last twelve months. 

The Board and management believe the underlying business operational and structural 
fundamentals are now better placed and more resilient to manage and recover from the subsequent 
event and return the business to an upward trajectory in the coming twelve months. 

Once again, the Board wishes to thank all our customers for their continued support and our 
employees who have worked very hard to ensure that our business can supply a quality product that 
our customers can continue to enjoy.

The directors present their report together with the financial report of the consolidated entity consisting

stated. 

Principal activities 

The directors have been in office since the start of the year to the date of this report unless otherwise 

The principal activities of the group during the financial year were the production, processing, 

manufacturing and sale of eggs and egg products. 

There has been no significant change in the nature of these activities during the financial year. 

Review of operations and financial results 

Statutory consolidated net profit after tax attributable to the members of Farm Pride Foods 

(“Statutory Profit”) for the year ended 30 June 2020 was a loss of $2.169 million (2019: $3.858 

million loss). Underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“Underlying 

EBITDA”) was $2.672 million (2019: $1.092 million). 

Underlying EBITDA represents statutory earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation 

adjusted for items that are material to revenue or expense that are unrelated to the underlying 

performance of the business (‘significant items’). Farm Pride believes that presenting Underlying 

EBITDA provides a better understanding of its financial performance by facilitating a more 

representative comparison of financial performance between financial periods. The results are 

presented with reference to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission Regulatory Guide 

230 “Disclosing non-IFRS financial information”.  

The following table reconciles the Statutory Profit to Underlying EBITDA for the year ended 30 June

Directors’ Report 

Operating and financial review (continued) 

For further discussion of the review and results of operations of the group reference should be made to 
the Chairman’s Report dated 16 October 2020. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs 

There have been no significant changes in the group’s state of affairs during the financial year, other 
than as disclosed in this report. 

Subsequent events

On 6 August 2020, Agriculture Victoria confirmed that the Lethbridge facility had tested positive for the H7N7 
Avian Influenza virus. On 25 August 2020, a second farm leased and operated by the company, also 
located in the Lethbridge area, tested positive to H7N7. To control the spread of Avian Influenza, the farms 
(consisting of a total of 380,000 layers hens) were depopulated with the process completed in the month of 
August 2020. This represents 33% of the productive layer capacity of the business. The impact over the 
balance of FY21 is expected to be a revenue loss of $18 million. Agriculture Victoria is working with the 
business on compensation for loss of hens, poultry products (eggs), feed and any other eligible assets lost 
or disposed as part of the disease control order.  

As a result, the company has implemented a number of remediation strategies to facilitate a return to 
full production as soon as possible including: 

-  Claiming and receiving compensation in respect of the birds lost. 
-  Taking immediate steps to restore lost bird capacity. 
-  Restoration of the affected farms in line with applicable regulations to replace production. This 

is expected to occur in the second half of the 2021 financial year. 

-  The sale and or sale & leaseback of company owned farms to provide additional funds. 
-  Keeping our financiers briefed on the company’s progress and strategies to return to full 

production. 

Environmental regulation 

The group’s operations are not subject to any significant environmental, Commonwealth or State 
regulations or laws. The group is not aware of any significant breaches of environmental regulations 
during the financial year. 

Dividend paid, recommended and declared 

No dividends were paid, declared or recommended since the start of the financial year. 

Share options 

No options over unissued shares or interests in the consolidated entity were granted during or since 
the end of the financial year and there were no options outstanding at the end of the financial year.

Subsequent events

There have been no significant changes in the group’s state of affairs during the financial year, other 

On 6 August 2020, Agriculture Victoria confirmed that the Lethbridge facility had tested positive for the H7N7 

Avian Influenza virus. On 25 August 2020, a second farm leased and operated by the company, also 

located in the Lethbridge area, tested positive to H7N7. To control the spread of Avian Influenza, the farms 

(consisting of a total of 380,000 layers hens) were depopulated with the process completed in the month of 

August 2020. This represents 33% of the productive layer capacity of the business. The impact over the 

balance of FY21 is expected to be a revenue loss of $18 million. Agriculture Victoria is working with the 

business on compensation for loss of hens, poultry products (eggs), feed and any other eligible assets lost 

or disposed as part of the disease control order.  

As a result, the company has implemented a number of remediation strategies to facilitate a return to 

full production as soon as possible including: 

-  Claiming and receiving compensation in respect of the birds lost. 

-  Taking immediate steps to restore lost bird capacity. 

-  Restoration of the affected farms in line with applicable regulations to replace production. This 

is expected to occur in the second half of the 2021 financial year. 

-  The sale and or sale & leaseback of company owned farms to provide additional funds. 

-  Keeping our financiers briefed on the company’s progress and strategies to return to full 

production.

Note 1:  Summary of significant accounting policies 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adopted by the consolidated entity in the 

preparation and presentation of the financial report. The accounting policies have been consistently 

applied, unless otherwise stated. Farm Pride Foods Limited (the Company or parent entity) is a for 

profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the 

Australian Stock Exchange. 

(a)  Basis of preparation of the financial report 

This financial report is a general-purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance 

with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other 

authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). 

The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by 

revaluations to fair value for certain classes of assets as described in the accounting policies. 

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest 

thousand ($’000), except when otherwise indicated. 

The financial report was authorised for issue by the directors as at 16 October 2020. 

Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 

The consolidated financial statements of Farm Pride Foods Ltd also comply with the International 

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board 

(IASB). 

Significant accounting estimates 

(b)  Going concern 

The preparation of the financial report requires the use of certain estimates and judgements in 

applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. Those estimates and judgements significant 

to the financial report are disclosed in Note 2. 

During the year ended 30 June 2020 the Group incurred a net loss after tax of $2.169 million (2019: 

loss $3.858 million). Considering the recent outbreak of Avian Influenza at Lethbridge farm and its 

short-term impact on loss of farm yield up to 33%, the directors and management have commenced 

an ongoing assessment of the Group’s costs and cash commitments. 

Net cash inflow from operating activities was $6.882 million (2019: $1.812 million). As at 30 June 

2020 current assets of $25.056 million exceed current liabilities of $19.666 million by $5.390 million. 

Borrowings of $19.441 million are classified as non-current.  

The financial report has been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern, which 

assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of 

liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The directors in their consideration of the 

appropriateness of the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial report have reviewed 

the Group’s cash flow forecasts and revenue projections based on current market conditions and 

business plans.  

The above statement should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

Notes to the financial statements 

(b)  Lease liabilities are accounted for on a similar basis to other financial liabilities, whereby interest 

expense is recognised in respect of the lease liability and the carrying amount of the lease 

liability is reduced to reflect the principal portion of lease payments made. 

AASB 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements of the predecessor 

standard, AASB 117. Accordingly, under AASB 16 a lessor continues to classify its leases as 

operating leases or finance leases subject to whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially 

all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, and accounts for each 

type of lease in a manner consistent with the current approach under AASB 117. 

In accordance with the transition requirements of AASB 16, the group has elected to apply AASB 16 

retrospectively to those contracts that were previously identified as leases under the predecessor 

standard, with the cumulative effect, if any, of initially applying the new standard recognised as an 

adjustment to opening retained earnings at the date of initial application (i.e. as at 1 July 2019). 

Accordingly, comparative information has not been restated. 

The group has also elected to apply the following practical expedients to the measurement of right-of-use 

assets and lease liabilities in relation to those leases previously classified as operating leases under the 

predecessor standard: 

  To recognise each right-of-use asset at the date of initial application at an amount equal to the lease 

liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease 

recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application; 

  To not recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for leases for which the lease term ends 

within 12 months of the date of initial application; 

  To exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of each right-of-use asset at the date of initial 

  To use hindsight, such as in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or 

application; and 

terminate the lease. 

The application of AASB 16 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets with an aggregate carrying 

amount of $19,479k (referred to in these financial statements as “lease assets”) and corresponding 

lease liabilities with an aggregate carrying amount of $19,479k. The weighted average incremental 

borrowing rate applied in the calculation of the initial carrying amount of lease liabilities was 3%. 

Avian Influenza 
As announced to the market, in August 2020 approximately 33% of the company’s productive bird 
capacity was lost due to Avian Influenza (Bird Flu). As a result, the company has implemented a 
number of remediation strategies to facilitate a return to full production as soon as possible including: 

- 
- 

- 
- 

Claiming and receiving compensation in respect of the birds lost. 
Taking immediate steps to restore lost bird capacity which should be completed late in 2021 
financial year. 
The sale and or sale & leaseback of company owned farms to provide additional funds.  
Keeping our financiers briefed on plans and strategies to return to full production. We note that 
our financiers have expressed ongoing support for the Company and that there has been no 
change to the existing terms of our facilities at this time. However, they continue to reserve their 
rights in respect of their loan facilities, which includes classifying the facility at call. The 
company believes its proposed strategy is reasonable. 

Cash flow management 
The Group continues to actively manage its cash flows through management of debtors and 
creditors within strict terms and improving productivity across farms, grading and manufacturing. 
The Group continues its focus on review and development of internal controls and governance. This 
includes targeted capital expenditure to extend or improve asset life, quality and safety with a view 
to support the Group’s focus on developing its caged-free capacity and product operations.   

Funding facilities 
The Group’s financing facilities as at 30 June 2020 comprised a total of $23.5 million comprising 
Tranche A $15 million that has been drawdown in full and Tranche B of $8.5 million drawn down by 
$4.861 million. Tranche B includes $3.5 million limit exclusively for capitalised interest, if any. The 
term of the facility is for three years from the date of the first drawdown on by 16 August 2019.The 
Group’s financier has confirmed its support of the proposed recovery strategy. 

The directors recognise that there are uncertainties regarding the forecast quantum and timing of the 
major strategic initiatives described above and accordingly continue to liaise with and regularly update 
the Group’s financiers. 

The financial report does not include adjustments, if any, relating to the recoverability and 
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be 
necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern 

(c)  New and revised accounting standards effective as at 30 June 2020 

The Group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards that apply to annual 
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2019, including AASB 16 Leases. 

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

(a)  Right-of-use assets are accounted for on a similar basis to non-financial assets, whereby 
the right-of-use asset is accounted for on a cost basis unless the underlying asset is 
accounted for on a revaluation basis, in which case if the underlying assist is: 

(i) 

(ii) 

Investment property, the lessee applies the fair value model in AASB 140 Investment 
Property to the fight-of-use asset; or 
Property, plant or equipment, the lessee applies the revaluation model in AASB 116 
Property, Plant and Equipment to all of the right-of-use assets that relate to that class of 
property, plant and equipment, and

standard, with the cumulative effect, if any, of initially applying the new standard recognised as an 
adjustment to opening retained earnings at the date of initial application (i.e. as at 1 July 2019). 
Accordingly, comparative information has not been restated. 

The group has also elected to apply the following practical expedients to the measurement of right-of-use 
assets and lease liabilities in relation to those leases previously classified as operating leases under the 
predecessor standard: 

  To recognise each right-of-use asset at the date of initial application at an amount equal to the lease 
liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease 
recognized in the statement of financial position immediately before the date of initial application; 
  To not recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for leases for which the lease term ends 

within 12 months of the date of initial application; 

  To exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of each right-of-use asset at the date of initial 

application; and 

  To use hindsight, such as in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or 

terminate the lease. 

The application of AASB 16 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets with an aggregate carrying 
amount of $19,479k (referred to in these financial statements as “lease assets”) and corresponding 
lease liabilities with an aggregate carrying amount of $19,479k. The weighted average incremental 
borrowing rate applied in the calculation of the initial carrying amount of lease liabilities was 3%.

Property to the fight-of-use asset; or

AASB 2018-7 principally amends AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 108: 
Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments refine the definition 
of material in AASB 101. The amendments clarify the definition of material and its application by 
improving the wording and aligning the definition across AASB Standards and other publications. The 
amendment also includes some supporting requirements in AASB 101 in the definition to give it more 
prominence and clarifies the explanation accompanying the definition of material. 
AASB 2018-7 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2020 
and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2020. 

AASB 2020-1: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Liabilities as 
Current or Non-current 
AASB 2020-1 amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify requirements for the 
presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position as current or non-current.  
AASB 2020-1 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 
and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022. 

AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018 – 
2020 and Other Amendments 
AASB 2020-3 amends AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, AASB 3 
Business Combinations, AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, 
AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and AASB 141 Agriculture as a 
consequence of the recent issuance by IASB of the following IFRS: Annual Improvements to IFRS 
Standards 2018-2020, Reference to the Conceptual Framework, Property, Plant and Equipment: 
Proceeds before Intended Use and Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract.  
AASB 2020-3 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 
and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022. 

The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial 

statements of the parent entity and of all entities, which the parent entity controls. The parent entity 

controls an entity when it is exposed, 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. 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 

entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar 

accounting policies, which may exist. 

All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been 

eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is 

established and are derecognised from the date that control ceases. 

(f)  Revenue from contracts with customers 

Sales 

The Group’s contracts with customers for the sale of egg products include one performance obligation. 

The Group recognises revenue from sale of products at the point in time when control of the asset is 

transferred to the customer on delivery of the goods. The normal credit terms are 30 to 60 days. 

Variable consideration 

Some contracts for the sale of products provide customers with rebates and promotional discounts which 

give rise to variable consideration. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception using the 

expected value method based on forecast, timing of settlement and/or volumes and is constrained until it 

is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will 

not occur when the associated uncertainty is subsequently resolved.   

The amount of revenue reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to in 

A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only 

the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). 

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the 

customer. If the Group performs by transferring products to a customer before payment is due, a 

contract asset is recognised for the right to the earned consideration that is conditional. 

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer products to customers for which the Group has received 

consideration from the customer in advance. If a customer pays consideration before the Group 

transfers products to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the 

payment is due. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group provides the product 

exchange for those goods.

AASB 2020-1 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 

and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022. 

AASB 2020-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Annual Improvements 2018 – 

2020 and Other Amendments 

AASB 2020-3 amends AASB 1 First-time Adoption of Australian Accounting Standards, AASB 3 

Business Combinations, AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment, 

AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and AASB 141 Agriculture as a 

consequence of the recent issuance by IASB of the following IFRS: Annual Improvements to IFRS 

Standards 2018-2020, Reference to the Conceptual Framework, Property, Plant and Equipment: 

Proceeds before Intended Use and Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract.  

AASB 2020-3 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2022 

and will be first applied by the Group in the financial year commencing 1 July 2022. 

The consolidated financial statements are those of the consolidated entity, comprising the financial 
statements of the parent entity and of all entities, which the parent entity controls. The parent entity 
controls an entity when it is exposed, 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. 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent 
entity, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar 
accounting policies, which may exist. 

All inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised profits or losses have been 
eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is 
established and are derecognised from the date that control ceases. 

(f)  Revenue from contracts with customers 

Sales 
The Group’s contracts with customers for the sale of egg products include one performance obligation. 
The Group recognises revenue from sale of products at the point in time when control of the asset is 
transferred to the customer on delivery of the goods. The normal credit terms are 30 to 60 days. 

Variable consideration 
Some contracts for the sale of products provide customers with rebates and promotional discounts which 
give rise to variable consideration. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception using the 
expected value method based on forecast, timing of settlement and/or volumes and is constrained until it 
is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will 
not occur when the associated uncertainty is subsequently resolved.   

The amount of revenue reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to in 
exchange for those goods. 

Trade receivables 
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only 
the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). 

Contract assets 
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the 
customer. If the Group performs by transferring products to a customer before payment is due, a 
contract asset is recognised for the right to the earned consideration that is conditional. 

Contract liabilities 
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer products to customers for which the Group has received 
consideration from the customer in advance. If a customer pays consideration before the Group 
transfers products to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made or the 
payment is due. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group provides the product 
under the contract. 

(g)  Interest revenue 

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

(h)  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks short term deposits with an original 
maturity of three months or less held at call with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank 
overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of 
financial position. 

(i) 

Inventories 

Accounting policy applied to the information presented for the current period under AASB 16 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of manufactured 
products includes direct material, direct labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based 
on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs. 

Costs are assigned on a standard cost basis which approximates actual cost. The standard cost 
basis is reviewed by management regularly and adjusted to reflect current conditions, where 
necessary. 

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

(j)  Property, plant and equipment 

Cost and valuation 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and 
any accumulated impairment losses. Repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as 
incurred. 

Depreciation 
Land is not depreciated. The depreciable amounts of all other property, plant and equipment are 
calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives commencing from the time 
the asset is held ready for use. 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or 
the estimated useful lives of the improvements.  

The useful lives for each class of assets are:

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are generally grouped at the lowest levels for which 
there are largely independent cash flows (‘cash generating units’). Accordingly, most assets are tested 
for impairment at the cash-generating unit level. Because it does not generate cash flows 
independently of other assets or groups of assets, any goodwill recognised by the entity is allocated to 
the cash generating unit or units that are expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the 
business combination that gave rise to the goodwill. 

An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit 
exceeds the asset’s or cash generating unit’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an 
asset or cash generating unit is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in 
use. 

28 

29 

Impairment losses in respect of individual assets are recognised immediately in profit or loss. 

Impairment losses in respect of cash generating units are allocated first against the carrying amount of 

any goodwill attributed to the cash generating unit with any remaining impairment loss allocated on a 

pro rata basis to the other assets comprising the relevant cash generating unit. 

(l)  Leases 

Leases: 

Lease assets 

At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low 

value assets), the group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset 

and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. 

Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of 

the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less 

any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the group, and an estimate of costs 

to be incurred by the group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on 

which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and 

conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any 

remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less accumulated depreciation and any 

accumulated impairment loss. 

Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the 

underlying asset, consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in 

the underlying asset. 

Lease liabilities 

Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e. the 

lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments 

are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or 

otherwise using the group’s incremental borrowing rate. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining 

lease payments (i.e. the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on 

lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease 

liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any 

lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases. 

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an 

expense when incurred. 

Leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets 

Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for 

which a lease asset and a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on 

a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Accounting policy applied to the information presented for the prior period under AASB 117 Leases 

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic 

substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

(l)  Leases 

Accounting policy applied to the information presented for the current period under AASB 16 
Leases: 

At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low 
value assets), the group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset 
and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. 

Lease assets 
Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of 
the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less 
any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the group, and an estimate of costs 
to be incurred by the group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on 
which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and 
conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any 
remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less accumulated depreciation and any 
accumulated impairment loss. 

Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the 
underlying asset, consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in 
the underlying asset. 

Lease liabilities 
Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e. the 
lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments 
are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or 
otherwise using the group’s incremental borrowing rate. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining 
lease payments (i.e. the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on 
lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease 
liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any 
lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases. 

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an 
expense when incurred. 

Leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets 
Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for 
which a lease asset and a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on 
a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Accounting policy applied to the information presented for the prior period under AASB 117 Leases 
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic 
substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Farm Pride Foods Limited and Controlled Entities 

Notes to the financial statements 

Finance leases 
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the 
asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the consolidated entity are classified as finance 
leases. Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and liability equal to the present value of 
the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. The interest expense is 
calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease and is included in financial costs in the 
statement of comprehensive income.  

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is 
likely the consolidated entity will obtain ownership of the asset, or over the term of the lease. Lease 
payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense 
for the period. 

Operating leases 
Operating lease payments are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the 
term of the lease. 

Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 

(m) Income tax 

Current income tax expenses or revenue is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income 
based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the applicable tax rates 
when the assets are expected to be recovered or liabilities are settled. Deferred tax liabilities are not 
recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not 
accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a 
business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit nor 
taxable profit or loss. 

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. 

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also 
recognised directly in equity. 

(n)  Goods and services tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST.  

Revenues, expenses and purchased assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where 
the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances the 
GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the 
GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows. 

(o)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a legal or constructive obligation, as a 

result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that 

outflow can be reliably measured.  

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the 

present obligation at the end of the reporting period. 

(p)  Employee benefits 

Short term employee benefit obligations 

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave, accumulated sick leave and any 

other employee benefits (other than termination benefits) expected to be settled wholly before twelve 

months after the end of the annual reporting period are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts 

based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled.  

The expected cost of short-term employee benefits in the form of compensated absences such as 

annual leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. All other short-term employee 

benefit obligations are presented as payables in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

Other long-term employee benefit obligations 

The provision for other long-term employee benefits, including obligations for long service leave and 

annual leave, which are not expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the 

reporting period, are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in 

respect of the services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Expected future payments 

incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, duration of service and employee turnover, and 

are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields as the end of the reporting period on 

high quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. 

Any re-measurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee 

benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the change occurs. 

Other long-term employee benefit obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if 

the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the 

reporting date, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. All other long-term 

employee benefit obligations are presented as non-current liabilities in the statement of financial 

position. 

(q)  Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, except for borrowings directly incurred as part of the cost of 

the construction of a qualifying asset, in which case the costs are capitalised until the asset is ready for 

its intended use or sale.  

Borrowing costs include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method, finance 

charges in respect of finance leases and exchange differences arising from foreign currency 

borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs and other costs that 

an entity incurs in connection with its borrowing of funds.

Financial instruments  

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the 
group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the 
instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are 
immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss. 

Classification of financial assets 
Financial assets recognised by the group are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised 
cost or fair value, subject to their classification and whether the group irrevocably designates the 
financial asset on initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI) in 
accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9. 

Financial assets not irrevocably designated on initial recognition at FVtOCI are classified as 
subsequently measured at amortised cost, FVtOCI or fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL) on the 
basis of: 

(a) 
(b) 

The group’s business model for managing the financial assets; and 
The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 

Classification of financial liabilities 
Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the group for the 
acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at FVtPL, are subsequently measured at fair 
value. 

All other financial liabilities recognised by the group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade and other receivables arise from the group’s transactions with its customers and are normally 
settled within 30 days. 

Consistent with both the group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual 
cash flow characteristics of these assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost. 

Impairment of financial assets 
The following financial assets are tested for impairment by applying the ‘expected credit loss’ impairment 
model: 

(a) 

debt instruments measured at amortised cost; 

(b) 

debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income; and 
receivables from contracts with customers, contract assets and lease receivables. 

The group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses 
for receivables from contracts with customers, contract assets and lease receivables. Under the AASB 
9 simplified approach, the group determines the allowance for credit losses for receivables from 
contracts with customers, contract assets and lease receivables on the basis of the lifetime expected 
credit losses of the financial asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit 
losses that are expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset. 

The group determines expected credit losses based on the group’s historical credit loss experience, 

adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected 

economic conditions relevant to the financial asset. When material, the time value of money is 

incorporated into the measurement of expected credit losses. There has been no change in the 

estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period. 

The group has identified contractual payments more than 365 days past due as default events for the 

purpose of measuring expected credit losses. These default events have been selected based on the 

group’s historical experience. Because contract assets are directly related to unbilled work in 

progress, contract assets have a similar credit risk profile to receivables from contracts with 

customers. Accordingly, the group applies the same approach to measuring expected credit losses of 

receivables from contracts with customers as it does to measuring impairment losses on contract 

assets. 

The measurement of expected credit losses reflects the group’s ‘expected rate of loss’, which is a 

product of the probability of default and the loss given default, and its ‘exposure at default’, which is 

typically the carrying amount of the relevant asset. Expected credit losses are measured as the 

difference between all contractual cash flows due and all contractual cash flows expected based on the 

group’s exposure at default, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. 

Financial assets are regarded as ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events have occurred that have a 

detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. Indicators that a financial

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (i.e, reduced directly) when the 

counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and the group has no realistic expectation of recovery of 

the financial asset. Financial assets written off remain subject to enforcement action by the group. 

Recoveries, if any, are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign currency translations and balances 

Functional and presentation currency 

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the group’s functional and 

presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 

Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are recognised in the group’s functional currency, using 

the spot rate at the date of the transaction. 

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items 

arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the 

contract) are restated to the spot rate at the reporting date. 

Except for certain foreign currency hedges, all resulting exchange gains or losses are recognised in 

profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

Financial instruments  

Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes party to the 

contractual provisions of the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the 

group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs, except where the 

instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are 

immediately recognised as expenses in profit or loss. 

Classification of financial assets 

Financial assets recognised by the group are subsequently measured in their entirety at either amortised 

cost or fair value, subject to their classification and whether the group irrevocably designates the 

financial asset on initial recognition at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVtOCI) in 

accordance with the relevant criteria in AASB 9. 

Financial assets not irrevocably designated on initial recognition at FVtOCI are classified as 

subsequently measured at amortised cost, FVtOCI or fair value through profit or loss (FVtPL) on the 

The group’s business model for managing the financial assets; and 

The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 

Classification of financial liabilities 

Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading, contingent consideration payable by the group for the 

acquisition of a business, and financial liabilities designated at FVtPL, are subsequently measured at fair 

basis of: 

(a) 

(b) 

value. 

All other financial liabilities recognised by the group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Trade and other receivables arise from the group’s transactions with its customers and are normally 

Consistent with both the group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual 

cash flow characteristics of these assets, trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at 

Trade and other receivables 

settled within 30 days. 

amortised cost. 

Impairment of financial assets 

model: 

The following financial assets are tested for impairment by applying the ‘expected credit loss’ impairment 

(a) 

debt instruments measured at amortised cost; 

(b) 

debt instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income; and 

receivables from contracts with customers, contract assets and lease receivables. 

The group applies the simplified approach under AASB 9 to measuring the allowance for credit losses 

for receivables from contracts with customers, contract assets and lease receivables. Under the AASB 

9 simplified approach, the group determines the allowance for credit losses for receivables from 

contracts with customers, contract assets and lease receivables on the basis of the lifetime expected 

credit losses of the financial asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit 

losses that are expected to result from default events over the expected life of the financial asset. 

The group determines expected credit losses based on the group’s historical credit loss experience, 
adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset as well as current and future expected 
economic conditions relevant to the financial asset. When material, the time value of money is 
incorporated into the measurement of expected credit losses. There has been no change in the 
estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the reporting period. 

The group has identified contractual payments more than 365 days past due as default events for the 
purpose of measuring expected credit losses. These default events have been selected based on the 
group’s historical experience. Because contract assets are directly related to unbilled work in 
progress, contract assets have a similar credit risk profile to receivables from contracts with 
customers. Accordingly, the group applies the same approach to measuring expected credit losses of 
receivables from contracts with customers as it does to measuring impairment losses on contract 
assets. 

The measurement of expected credit losses reflects the group’s ‘expected rate of loss’, which is a 
product of the probability of default and the loss given default, and its ‘exposure at default’, which is 
typically the carrying amount of the relevant asset. Expected credit losses are measured as the 
difference between all contractual cash flows due and all contractual cash flows expected based on the 
group’s exposure at default, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. 
Financial assets are regarded as ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events have occurred that have a 
detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. Indicators that a financial 
asset is ‘credit-impaired’ include observable data about the following: 

(a) 
(b) 
(c) 

(d) 

significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; 
breach of contract; 
the lender, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, has 
granted concessions to the borrower that the lender would not otherwise consider; or 
it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation. 

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (i.e, reduced directly) when the 
counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and the group has no realistic expectation of recovery of 
the financial asset. Financial assets written off remain subject to enforcement action by the group. 
Recoveries, if any, are recognised in profit or loss. 

(s) 

Foreign currency translations and balances 

Functional and presentation currency 
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the group’s functional and 
presentation currency. 

Transactions and balances 
Transactions undertaken in foreign currencies are recognised in the group’s functional currency, using 
the spot rate at the date of the transaction. 

Foreign currency monetary items that are outstanding at the reporting date (other than monetary items 
arising under foreign currency contracts where the exchange rate for that monetary item is fixed in the 
contract) are restated to the spot rate at the reporting date. 

Except for certain foreign currency hedges, all resulting exchange gains or losses are recognised in 
profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

(t)  Biological assets 

Biological assets comprise flocks of hens. As there is no active market for flocks of hens, the 
biological assets are recorded based upon the capitalised cost of the flock less accumulated 
amortisation. The cost is amortised over the productive life of the flock. This is between 50 and 60 
weeks. The flocks are held for the purposes of producing eggs.  

(u)  Segment reporting 

Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the board of 
directors (the chief operating decision maker as defined under AASB 8) that are used to make 
strategic and operating decisions. The board of directors considers the business primarily from a 
geographic perspective. On this basis the Group has identified one reportable segment, Australia. The 
Group does not operate in any other geographic segment. 

(v)  Comparatives 

Where necessary the comparative information has been reclassified and repositioned for 
consistency with current year disclosures. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and tax losses as 

management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those 

(w) Rounding of amounts 

The group have applied the relief under ASIC Corporates (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and accordingly, the amounts in the consolidated financial 
statements and in the directors’ report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, or in 
certain cases, to the nearest dollar (where indicated). 

Note 2:  Significant accounting estimates and judgements 

Estimates and assumptions based on future events have a significant inherent risk, and where future 

events are not as anticipated there would be a material impact on the carrying amounts of the assets 

and liabilities discussed below: 

(a) 

Impairment of non-current assets other than goodwill 

All assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating whether indicators of 

impairment exist in relation to the continued use of the asset by the Group. Impairment triggers 

include declining product or manufacturing performance, technology changes, adverse changes in the 

economic or political environment or future product expectations. If an indicator of impairment exists 

the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Refer to Note 12(b) for further details. 

(b) 

Income tax 

Deferred tax assets are based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in the income tax 

legislation and the anticipation that the Group will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable 

the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(c) 

Fair value measurements 

Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Fair values have been determined in 

accordance with fair value measurement hierarchy. Refer to Note 3(d): Fair Value Measurements for the 

details of the fair value measure key assumptions and inputs. 

(d) 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, 

plant and equipment. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or 

some other event. The depreciation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than 

previously estimated lives, and technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned 

or sold will be written off or written down.

(e) 

Biological assets 

The cost of flocks of hens are amortised over the productive life of the flock, which is between 50 

and 60 weeks. This is based on the characteristics of the flock and the Group’s historical 

operating experience.

(f) 

Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables and contract assets 

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables 
and contract assets. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various 
customer segments that have similar loss patterns. The provision matrix is initially based on the 
Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical 
credit loss experience with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, the historical 
observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed. 

The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be 
representative of customer’s actual default in the future. 

(g)  Rebates and promotional discounts liabilities 

Rebates and promotional discounts are either settled monthly on settlement of invoice or accrued at 
balance sheet date depending on the exact timing of the customer claim. The Group estimates the 
rebate and promotional discount based on the percentage specified in the customer contract and 
the timing of settlement and/or volumes sold taking into account previous claims made. 

(h) 

Inventory provisions 

Management's judgement is applied in determining the inventory provisions for obsolescence and net 
realisable value, where the estimated selling price of inventory is lower than the cost to sell based on 
historical observations and management expectations. 

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (commodity prices, 

foreign currency and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.  

The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks by using various financial 

instruments, including derivative financial instruments. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in 

derivatives for speculative purposes may be undertaken. The use of financial derivatives is subject to 

approval by the Board of Directors.   

The Group’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise loans and borrowings, 

and trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the 

Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include trade receivables, and cash 

and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations. The Group is exposed to some 

foreign currency risk as the purchase of plant and equipment from time to time is denominated in 

foreign currencies. 

The Group holds the following financial assets and financial liabilities at reporting date:

The Group is affected by the price variability of certain commodities. The Group’s main sales product 

is shell eggs which is a commodity that is subject to market conditions. The Group manages this 

exposure utilising forward grain and/or feed stock purchase commitments through its key suppliers, 

within certain price parameters agreed by the Board of Directors. Where possible the Group enters 

longer term relationships with key customers that create more certainty around volumes and price. 

The Group’s activities also require the ongoing purchase of grain and/or feed stock and is therefore 

affected by fluctuations in the price of feed ingredients, primarily wheat and soy.  

(ii)  Foreign exchange risk  

The majority of the Group’s operations are denominated in Australian dollars, therefore minimising 

the impact of foreign currency risk. The Group undertakes some transactions denominated in foreign 

currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures 

are managed utilising forward foreign exchange contracts, subject to approval by the Board of 

Directors.

Forward foreign exchange contracts 

Maturities of financial liabilities 

It is the policy of the Group to enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover specific foreign 
currency payments (normally Euro) for future purchases of plant and equipment. 

(iii)  Interest rate risk  

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will 
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in 
market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s external debt facilities and cash at bank held at 
variable rates.   

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risks in relation to future cash flows and the weighted average 
effective interest rates on classes of financial assets and financial liabilities is shown in the table 
below. 

Sensitivity 

The following sensitivity analysis is assessed on the interest rate risk exposures in existence at 
reporting date. At 30 June 2020, if interest rates had moved as illustrated in the table below, with all 
other variables held constant, the post-tax profit and equity would have been impacted as follows:

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who assess the 
Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group 
manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing 
facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Refer to the Group’s funding 
arrangements disclosed in Note 15. 

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The 

tables have been prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the 

earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.  

The table includes both principal and estimated interest cash flows. Cash flows for financial liabilities 

without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at reporting date.

(c) Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations under a 

financial instrument or customer contract, resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group 

manages its credit risk by dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Group’s exposure and the 

credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of 

transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. 

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group 

of counterparties having similar characteristics.  

The aging analysis of trade and other receivables is provided in Note 8(b). As the Group undertakes 

transactions with a large number of customers and regularly monitors payment in accordance with 

credit terms, the financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired, are expected to be received 

in accordance with credit terms. 

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for 

impairment, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(b)  Liquidity risk 

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors, who assess the 

Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group 

manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing 

facilities and by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. Refer to the Group’s funding 

arrangements disclosed in Note 15.

Maturities of financial liabilities 

The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The 
tables have been prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the 
earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.  

The table includes both principal and estimated interest cash flows. Cash flows for financial liabilities 
without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at reporting date.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations under a 
financial instrument or customer contract, resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group 
manages its credit risk by dealing with creditworthy counterparties. The Group’s exposure and the 
credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of 
transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. 

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group 
of counterparties having similar characteristics.  

The aging analysis of trade and other receivables is provided in Note 8(b). As the Group undertakes 
transactions with a large number of customers and regularly monitors payment in accordance with 
credit terms, the financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired, are expected to be received 
in accordance with credit terms. 

The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, net of any allowance for 
impairment, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(d)  Fair value of financial instruments 

The only financial assets or financial liabilities carried at fair value are forward foreign currency 
contracts from time to time. These instruments are considered to be Level 2 financial instruments as 
their measurement is derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets 
or liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). 

The fair value of forward foreign currency is obtained from third party valuations derived from 
discounted cash flow forecasts of forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and 
contract exchange rates. 

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the 
financial year. 

The carrying amount of other financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial 
statements approximate their fair values.

1The Group engaged an independent valuer to assess the fair value of Darling Downs operation 
post acquisition and subsequent to initial capital works being undertaken. The value assessed was 
lower than the carrying value and the Group recorded an impairment loss of $1.542 million in the 
prior period. 

2On the initial application of AASB 16 Leases, as at 1 July 2019, the carrying amount of equipment 
under finance lease arrangements was reclassified from ‘property, plant and equipment’ to ‘lease 
assets’ 

(a) 

Assets pledged as security 

Included in the balances of freehold land and buildings and plant and equipment are assets over which 
first mortgages have been granted as security over loans (see note 15). The terms of the first 
mortgage preclude the assets from being sold or being used as security for further mortgages without 
the permission of the first mortgage holder. The mortgage also requires buildings that form part of the 
security to be fully insured at all times. 

Note 12:  Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

(b) 

Impairment testing of non-current assets  

The Group performed an impairment test in June 2020. The Group considers the relationship 

between its market capitalisation and its book value, among other factors, when reviewing for  

indicators of impairment. As at 30 June 2020, the market capitalisation of the Group was below the 

book value of its equity, indicating a potential impairment of the Group’s non-current assets. In 

addition, the unfavourable trading conditions and drought impacted grain prices have unfavourably 

impacted the Group.  

The recoverable amounts for the cash generating units (‘CGU’) have been determined based on a 

value in use basis. The value-in-use valuations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets 

covering a 5-year forecast period, and a terminal value based upon an extrapolation of cash flows 

beyond the 5-year period using a constant growth rate of 4% per annum and a terminal growth rate of 

2.5%. These rates are in line with the long-term average growth rate for the Australian egg industry, 

combined with the business plans of the Group. 

In performing value in use calculations, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present 

value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of 

money adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the risk of the specific CGU and individual risks of the 

underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The discount rate of 9% 

has been applied. This rate is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and is derived from its 

weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The 

cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors.  

As a result of the analysis, management did not identify an impairment. 

Key assumptions used in value in use calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions 

Key drivers which impact the recoverable amount aggregated over the five-year impairment 

assessment period include: 

The movement in revenue driven by volume and price of goods sold to customers. 

– 

– 

The price of grain/feed for the Group’s flock.  

–  WACC Discount rate. 

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis by considering reasonable possible changes in the key 

assumptions. The changes in the following assumptions used in the impairment assessment would, in 

isolation, lead to a change in the recoverable amount as at 30 June 2020 as shown in the table below.

the CGU exceeding its recoverable amount.

Farm Pride Foods Limited and Controlled Entities 

Directors’ Declaration 

Note 25:  Subsequent Events 

On 6 August 2020, Agriculture Victoria confirmed that the Lethbridge facility had tested positive for the H7N7 
Avian Influenza virus. On 25 August 2020, a second farm leased and operated by the company, also located 
in the Lethbridge area, tested positive to H7N7. To control the spread of Avian Influenza, the farms (consisting 
of a total of 380,000 layers hens) were depopulated with the process completed in the month of August 2020. 
This represents 33% of the productive layer capacity of the business. The impact over the balance of FY21 is 
expected to be a revenue loss of $18 million. Agriculture Victoria is working with the business on 
compensation for loss of hens, poultry products (eggs), feed and any other eligible assets lost or disposed as 
part of the disease control order.  

As a result, the company has implemented a number of remediation strategies to facilitate a return to 
full production as soon as possible including: 

- 
- 
- 

- 
- 

Claiming and receiving compensation in respect of the birds lost. 
Taking immediate steps to restore lost bird capacity. 
Restoration of the affected farms in line with applicable regulations to replace production. This 
is expected to occur in the second half of the 2021 financial year. 
The sale and or sale & leaseback of company owned farms to provide additional funds. 
Keeping our financiers briefed on the company’s progress and strategies to return to full  
production. 

Directors’ Declaration 

The Directors declare that the financial statements and notes set out on pages 19 to 58 in 

accordance with the Corporations Act 2001: 

(a)  Comply with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulation 2001, 

and other mandatory professional reporting requirements; 

(b)  As stated in Note 1(a) the consolidated financial statements also comply with 

International Financial Reporting Standards; and 

(c)  Give a true and fair view of the financial position of the consolidated entity as at 30 

June 2020 and of its performance for the year ended on that date. 

In the Directors’ opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that Farm Pride Foods Limited 

will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. 

This declaration has been made after receiving the declarations required to be made by the 

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to the Directors in accordance with sections 

295A of the Corporations Act 2001 for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF 

FARM PRIDE FOODS LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of Farm Pride Foods Limited “the Company” and its controlled 
entities “the Group”, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes 
in equity and the consolidated  statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 
financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies,  and  the  directors’ 
declaration.  

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

(a) 

(b) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and  
complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

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

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

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

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern  

We draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net 
loss of $2.169 million during the year ended 30 June 2020 and subsequent to year-end the 
significant effects of Avian Influenza outbreak on future production. These events or conditions, 
along with other matters as set forth in Note 1(b), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that 
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not 
modified in respect of this matter. 

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 were addressed in the context 

of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 

provide a separate opinion on these matters.

assets”.  

The flock assets should be valued at market 

value consistent with AASB 141 Agricultural 

assets, however, the lack of an active or liquid 

market for flock assets means the flock assets 

are measured at cost less accumulated 

amortisation and impairment losses. The 

amortisation rate is based on the estimated 

life of an individual flocks within the flock 

assets, and consequently the valuation of the 

flock assets as a whole is subject to 

judgement.    

We have focused on this balance given it is 

based on significant estimates involving 

subjective judgements and uncertainties over 

the estimated flock assets life due to the 

impact of factors such as disease and 

productive capacity of the individual flocks.

Valuation of Property, plant and equipment 

Valuation of property, plant and equipment - 
$45,020,275 
Refer to Note 12: Property, plant and 
equipment 
The Group has $45.0 million ($45.2 as at 30 
June 2019) of property, plant and equipment, 
which represents approximately 49% of total 
assets.  
Australian Accounting Standards require the 
Group to assess, at the end of each reporting 
period, whether there is any indication of 
impairment to assets.  
The Group has not recorded any impairment 
during the financial year.   
We have focused on this balance due to the 
significance of the balance and the 
determination that property, plant and 
equipment is a single cash-generating unit. 
The assumptions and methodologies used in 
the discounted cash-flow for the impairment 
assessment are complex judgements made by 
management such as forecasting egg prices 
and costings for feed that are affected by 
future economic and market conditions as 
well as farm capacity. 

Our testing of property, plant and equipment 
valuation focused on assessing the 
appropriateness of management’s judgements in 
relation to its determination of cash-generating 
units and the associated discounted cash flow.  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 

•  Evaluated the assumptions and 

methodologies utilised in the discounted 
cash flow prepared by management, 
including determination of discount rate, 
growth rates and other key assumptions 
such as egg prices and costings for feed;  

•  Evaluated the determination of cash-

generating units; 

•  Assessed the Group’s results in 

comparison to historical actuals and 
forecasts and the relatively low impact 
of COVID-19 to determine the 
reasonableness of the discounted cash 
flow;  

•  Compared forecast future cash flows to 

Board approved budgets; 

•  Tested the mathematical accuracy of the 

discounted cash flow model;  

•  Assessed the impact of sensitivities to 
sales, cost of sales and gross margin. 

•  Assessed the adequacy of the 

presentation and disclosure of property, 
plant and equipment in the financial 
report as at 30 June 2020. 

Other Information  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the 
information  included  in  the  Group’s  annual  report  for  the  year ended 30  June  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 we do not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

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

and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 

report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 

other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 

true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 

and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 

financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due 

to fraud or error.  

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 

going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 

operations, or 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a 

material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 

considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 

influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

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

judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 

fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 

evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 

detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting 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 Group’s internal control.  

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

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this 
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or 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 the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a 
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

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

• 

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

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

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

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

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

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

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

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