Directors' report

6 September 2018 

Fellow Shareholders 

It has been an interesting grow year for our company, transitioning into a fully-fledged telecommunications carrier. Our subscribers 
now number in excess of 7,000, over 2500 on satellite services. 

We have grown our network from an initial small footprint to one covering four eastern seaboard states. Our strategy of working 
closely with rural councils, who have communications responsibilities, but lack the resource and capability to bring these together. Our 
initial target for the year of working to deploy networks to 6 council areas was achieved after eight months then smashed when we 
acquired the assets of South West Wireless from administration, it increased to 17, bringing with it a range of new customers. 

Our expectations are high again for this coming year, as opportunities expand. The key of course is getting the right return on our 
capital employed in the networks, and we are mindful of spending your money without an acceptable return. Our goal is to maximise 
our revenue per customer by focussing on business users first, primarily Councils, Agricultural and Ag suppliers. 

More and more we find our customers want to join the “Internet of Things” (IOT) whereby even the smallest devices can be 
accommodated on the network. As an example water meters for councils to measure any leakage in their pipes, moisture and 
temperature meters in crops fields and every possible thing from switching on sprinklers to cctv. Our network towers are ready to 
deploy this new technology, we intend to have the most coverage in rural, regional and remote areas of any telecommunications 
carrier by the end of this next financial year. 

Financially it was pleasing to see real growth in revenue and margin, such that we had a strong and positive and growing EBITDA.  
Ongoing our challenges are two fold. Signing up more customers to our existing network, and funding the next stage of network 
growth. We have now engaged dedicated executives in the sales area to drive the customer base additions, and we are working with 
governments to deploy further assets this year. 

I look forward to updating you further at out Annual General Meeting in November.

Dear Shareholders,

Outlook 
p

r
o
F

It’s been an exciting and challenging year at Field Solutions Group, transitioning to a public entity, then two material acquisitions, ANT 
communications and the assets and customers of South Western Wireless we are well on the way to being Australia’s leading telecommunications 
carrier for rural, regional and remote Australia. 

Our financial performance was pleasing, with significant growth in revenue (43%) and return to a positive EBITDA. These results provide us a robust 
platform of customers and projects for our future growth. 

Our staff mix has changed, and we welcome those from both ANT and SWW to the group. Primarily people in the local regions supporting local 
people.  We now operate offices in Belrose (NSW), Moree (NSW) and Rockhampton (QLD) 

Operational Overview 

There have been several highlights throughout FY18, not least of which has been the integration of the South Western Wireless business of which we 
acquired the assets and customers in March 2018. This acquisition has delivered FSG network reach into rural, regional and remote Queensland and 
southern New South Wales.  Of significant note, it assisted us in being awarded the contract to build and operate a first-of-a-kind, shire-wide network 
project for the Blackall-Tambo Regional Council. That work has been conducted mainly in Q1 FY18/19 and we anticipate further roll out until end of 
Q2, with subscribers being coming on board early next year. The network build is being funded by the council and local community in partnership with 
us. 
l

Assets and customers of ANT Communications was acquired early in FY18, providing the group a direct wholesale relationship with NBN co and Optus.  
These relationships have ensured FSG is well placed to offer rural, regional and remote Australia a compressive set of internet access options, whilst 
ensuring we are able to purchase directly from source vendors and not via a telecommunications aggregator, thereby increasing our margins over a 
wide range of offerings. 

Our Northern NSW network corridor continues organic growth. From what started as a small-scale pilot in Moree Plains Shire, the network has now 
expanded and grown from Gunnedah to Goondawindi.  This network design and deployment is core to our business model and has grown via a 
community and local government lead approach, supported by many councils, leading local business and particularly agribusinesses. 

From a technology perspective, we have continued to deliver true broadband (symmetric) services across our network.  We have built 
telecommunications towers, constructed Fibre to the Premises and Fixed Wireless networks, and most importantly designed and deployed FSG’s Rural 
Reach delivery model for rural, regional and remote subscribers. 

Our focus is on serving rural, regional and remote Australia and we are determined to demonstrate this in 2019. We plan to continue our organic 
growth in Queensland and New South Wales through partnerships and strategic network infrastructure projects and consider where appropriate 
acquisitions that are accretive to our business.  

Our target segments, in rural, regional and remote business, agribusiness and residential users, each have a need for true broadband services 
delivered by FSG's networks.  During 2019 we will deploy on every tower the capability to connect everything IOT. As the country recovers from 
drought our customers will be looking for any technological advancement to make them competitive, from precision farming to monitoring water and 
fertiliser use. We are well aware of the challenges and have appointing a COO and head of sales and marketing to drive sales and opportunities to 
grow your business. 

Finally, I would like to thank the board the shareholders and the staff of FSG, for without your significant contribution and support we would not be 
where we are today.

The principal activities of the consolidated group (Group) during the financial year were: 

l

•  Rural telecommunications carrier 
•  Retail service provider (internet services) 
•  Cloud integrated software development and maintenance services 

Our business model and objectives 

During the year, the Group successfully evolved its core business model to becoming Australia leading telecommunications carrier 
servicing rural, regional and remote Australia, while maintaining its expertise in managed cloud and hosting services.  As the network 
infrastructure build phase reaches its optimum, we will offer more innovative cloud and related services to our customers together 
with telco carrier services.  The Field Solutions Holdings business model is based on being Australia leading telecommunications 
carrier servicing rural, regional and remote Australia.  

Key elements and underlying objectives of our business model are: 

To deliver “true broadband” being the provision of symmetric services to Rural, Regional and Remote NSW 
To ‘not rely’ on the current 3G/4G and future 5G technologies for the delivery of broadband in Rural, Regional and Remote 
Australia 
To work in partnership with each local community to service their exact telecommunications requirements 
To ensure we have local support services in each region where we operate 
To deliver long term, multi-use telecommunication assets in Rural, Regional and Remote NSW 

FSG operate as a telecommunications carrier and retail service provider.  We build our own infrastructure in partnership with the 
local government and the local community, deploying telecommunications assets deep into rural, remote and regional Australia.  
These assets service the technology needs for agribusiness, business and residents, and are sold through our retail brands JustISP 
and ANT Communications. 

The Consolidated Group also delivers wholesale services to selected partner, agents and resellers with focus on servicing other 
wireless internet service providers, and systems integrators located in rural, remote and regional Australia. 

Today, the group operates network in Tasmania, New South Wales and Queensland.

l

n
o

The revenue for the Group was $7,440,673 (2017: $5,208,099) representing an increase of 43%. The Group reported a positive 
EBITDA of $92,985 (2017: negative $699,452). The significant increase in EBITDA from prior year represents increased operations 
together with a full year trading. During 2018 year, the Group continued to invest significantly to build its customer base and carrier 
grade telecommunications network, through acquisitions and its network infrastructure build programme.  This effort has seen the 
Group emerge as Australia’s leading telecommunications carrier servicing Rural, Remote and Regional areas.  Field Solutions now 
operate extensive, independent (non-NBN) broadband networks, offering retail and wholesale services in New South Wales, 
Queensland and Tasmania under its JustISP and ANT brands. The Group now service 17 local government areas in Rural, Remote and 
Regional Australia, against a 2018 target of 6.   

The Group's network infrastructure build capability has seen it offering true symmetric broadband, non-NBN, fixed wireless, fibre-to-
the-premise (FTTP), fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) and Rural Reach Network products and services to its customers.  It was also 
awarded a network construction contract to deliver shire-wide, non-NBN broadband services to the Blackall-Tambo Regional Council 
in Queensland as well as other network build contracts. 

During the year, the Group acquired and integrated selected assets, customers and projects from ANT Communications and South 
West Wireless Pty Ltd (in administration).  As part of the business integration activity, a new Customer Support and Assurance group 
was established in Rockhampton, Queensland, and a Regional Construction and Support operation in Moree, New South 
Wales.  Further, customer billings, accounting systems and premises were consolidated across the Group.  
The Group continues to grow its revenue, and is expected to increase its scale of operations and improve financial performance over 
the next 12 months.

The remuneration report details the key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group, in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations. 

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities 
of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors. 

The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:

 Additional disclosures relating to key management personnel 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 
The objective of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for key management personnel (KMP) performance is 
competitive  and  appropriate  for  the  results  delivered.  The  framework  aligns  executive  reward  for  the  achievement  of  strategic 
objectives and the creation of value for shareholders, and it is considered to conform to the market best practice for the delivery of 
reward.  The  Board  of  Directors  ('the  Board')  ensures  that  executive  reward  satisfies  the  following  key  criteria  for  good  reward 
governance practices: 

● 
l
● 
● 
● 

 competitiveness and reasonableness 
 acceptability to shareholders 
 performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation 
 transparency 

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  is  responsible  for  determining  and  reviewing  remuneration  arrangements  for  its 
directors and executives. 

a
n
o
The remuneration policy of Field Solutions Holdings Limited has been designed to align key management personnel (KMP) objectives 
with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component and having regard to the current incentive to 
s
achieve and earnings milestones pursuant to the acquisition of Field Solutions Group Pty Ltd where short term incentives (STI’s) are 
offered.   
r
e
p

The Board has established an employee share option plan (ESOP) which was presented for review and ratification at the 2018 AGM. 
The Board believes that the current remuneration policy, together with the ESOP to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract 
and retain high-quality KMP to run and manage the consolidated Group, as well as to provide goal congruence between directors, 
executives and shareholders. 

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the consolidated Group is as follows: 

r
o
F

• 

• 

•  All KMP receive a base salary (based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, STI and become 

eligible to participate in the Company ESOP (subject to Board invitation). 

•  Other performance incentives (such as STI’s) are generally only paid once pre-determined key performance indicators have 

been met. 
Incentives in the form of ESOP options and shares are intended to align the interests of KMP and the Company with those of 
shareholders. 
The  remuneration  committee  reviews  KMP  packages  annually  by  reference  to  the  consolidated  Group’s  performance, 
executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors. 

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based on individual and by reference 
to the consolidated Group’s performance.  All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The 
policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance / results leading to long term growth 
in shareholder wealth.

Other than the entitlements provided under the Group’s defined contribution superannuation arrangements, KMP do not receive any

The  Board’s  policy  is  to  remunerate  KMP  (including  non-executive  directors)  at  market  rates  for  time,  commitment  and 
responsibilities.  The  board  currently  determines  payments  to  KMP  and  reviews  their  remuneration  annually,  based  on  market 
practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees 
that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting. 

Options  granted  under  the  ESOP  do  not  carry  dividend  or  voting  rights.  The  board  is  responsible  for  determining  any  conditions 
attaching to the options (including issue price, exercise price, vesting conditions, and conditions of exercise). 

Engagement of Remuneration Consultants 
The Board did not engage any remuneration consultants during the financial year. The Board will consider the appropriateness of 
appointing  a  remuneration  consultant  during  FY18  to  review  the  elements  of  KMP  remuneration  and  to  provide  appropriate 
recommendations. 

Performance based Remuneration 
KPIs for management and other staff are set annually, in consultation with the Board Remuneration Committee. The measures are 
specifically tailored to the area each individual is involved in and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas are those the Board 
believes hold greater potential for Group expansion and profit, covering financial and non-financial as well as short and long-term 
goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Group and, in some instances, relevant industry standards. 

Performance against KPIs is assessed annually, with any KPI related bonuses being awarded based on achievement of the relevant 
KPIs (see below for further information regarding cash bonuses). Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the Board in 
light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is assessed in relation to the Group’s goals and shareholder wealth, 
before the KPIs are set for the following year. 

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved, Field Solutions Holdings Limited bases the assessment on audited figures and 
quantitative and qualitative data.  

Relationship between Remuneration Policy and Company Performance 
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase goal congruence between shareholders, directors and executives. Two methods 
have  been  applied  to  achieve  this  aim,  the  first  being  a  performance  based  bonus  based  on  KPIs,  and  the  second  being  the 
establishment  of  an ESOP  (under which  KMP  are  eligible  participants,  subject  to  Board  invitation)  to  encourage  the alignment  of 
personal and shareholder interests.  

The Board is of the opinion that the above remuneration policy will enhance company performance going forward.  

Performance Conditions Linked to Remuneration 
The Group seeks to emphasise reward incentives for results and continued commitment to the Group through the provision of cash 
bonus reward schemes, in particular the incorporation of incentive payments based on the achievement of Group budgets. The Group 
does not currently have any cash bonus rewards schemes tied to the company’s share price, preferring at this stage to align such cash 
bonus rewards to operational performance. 

The objective of the reward schemes is to both reinforce the short and long-term goals of the Group and provide a common interest 
between management and shareholders.   

The satisfaction of the KPIs is based on a review of the audited financial statements of the Group.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been 
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

Basis of preparation 
These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-
profit  oriented  entities.  These  financial  statements  also  comply  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  as  issued  by  the 
International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). 

Historical cost convention 
The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical cost convention,  except  for,  where  applicable,  the revaluation  of 
available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes 
of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. 

Critical accounting estimates 
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to 
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or 
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 2. 

Parent entity information 
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  Group  only.  Supplementary 
information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 20. 

Principles of consolidation 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  Field  Solutions  Holdings  Limited 
('Company' or 'parent entity') as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Field Solutions Holdings 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'. 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has 
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the 
activities  of  the  entity.  Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated from  the  date  on which  control  is  transferred  to  the Group. They  are  de-
consolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised 
losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the 
loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book 
value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent. 

Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in 
the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the 
consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss. 

Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. 
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. 

Sale of goods 
Sale of goods revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and 
rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of sales returns and 
trade discounts.

Rendering of services 
Rendering of services revenue from software maintenance fees is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contracts. 

Stage of completion is measured by reference to labour hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labour hours for each 
contract. Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably estimated, revenue is only recognised to the extent of the recoverable costs 
incurred to date. 

Interest 
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost 
of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that 
exactly discounts estimated  future  cash  receipts  through  the  expected life  of  the  financial  asset  to the  net  carrying amount  of  the 
financial asset. 

Other revenue 
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. 

Income tax 
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax 
rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused 
tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are 
recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for: 
● 

 When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction 
that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or 
 When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of 
the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

● 

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. 

The carrying  amount  of  recognised  and  unrecognised  deferred tax  assets  are reviewed  at  each  reporting date.  Deferred  tax  assets 
recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount 
to  be recovered. Previously  unrecognised  deferred  tax  assets  are recognised  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  there  are future 
taxable profits available to recover the asset. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same 
taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously. 

Current and non-current classification 
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group's normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; 
or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for 
the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer 
the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements 
30 June 2018 

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  includes  cash  on  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short-term,  highly  liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject 
to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, 
less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are written off by reducing 
the carrying amount directly. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is raised when there is objective evidence that the Group 
will  not  be able  to collect  all  amounts due  according  to  the  original  terms  of  the  receivables.  Significant financial  difficulties  of  the 
debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 
60 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable may be impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the 
difference  between  the  asset's  carrying  amount  and  the  present  value  of  estimated  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  original 
effective interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. 

Property, plant and equipment 
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that 
is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding 
land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Property, Plant and equipment 
Fixtures and fittings 
Motor Vehicles 

 3-20 years 
 3-10 years 
 3-5 years 

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

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. 

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. 
Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve 
relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits. 

Intangible assets 
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date 
of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised 
and  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less 
amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are 
measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful 
lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted 
for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

Customer contracts 
Customer contracts  acquired in  a  business combination  or asset  acquisition  contract  are  amortised  on  a  straight-line basis  over  the 
period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 2-5 years. 

Intellectual Property 
IP acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition contract is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being their finite life of 2-5 years. 

Impairment of non-financial assets 
Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets  that  have  an  indefinite  useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are  tested  annually  for 
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other non-financial assets 
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of 
the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which 
the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 

Trade and other payables 
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year and which are 
unpaid. Due to their short-term nature, they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and 
are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 

Employee benefits 
Short-term employee benefits 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly 
within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Other long-term employee benefits 
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at 
the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using 
the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures 
and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government 
bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 

Fair value measurement 
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is 
based  on  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market 
participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence 
of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. 

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act 
in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation 
techniques  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances  and  for  which  sufficient  data  are  available  to  measure  fair  value,  are  used, 
maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. 

Issued capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

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

Business combinations 
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other 
assets are acquired.  
The  consideration  transferred  is  the  sum  of  the  acquisition-date  fair  values  of  the  assets  transferred,  equity  instruments  issued  or 
liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For 
each business combination, the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate share 
of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred to profit or loss. 

On the acquisition of a business, the Group assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification 
and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the Group's operating or accounting policies and other 
pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition-date. 

Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group re-measures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the 
acquisition-date fair value and the difference between the fair value and the previous carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. 

Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in the 
fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  Contingent  consideration 
classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. 

The difference between the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree  and  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  fair  value  of  any  pre-existing  investment  in  the  acquiree  is 
recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the identifiable net 
assets acquired, being a bargain purchase to the acquirer, the difference is recognised as a gain directly in profit or loss by the acquirer 
on  the  acquisition-date,  but  only  after  a  reassessment  of  the  identification  and  measurement  of  the  net  assets  acquired,  the  non-
controlling  interest  in  the  acquiree,  if  any,  the  consideration  transferred  and  the  acquirer's  previously  held  equity  interest  in  the 
acquirer. 

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts 
recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about 
the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months 
from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value. 

Earnings per share 
 Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Owners of Field Solutions Holdings Limited, excluding any 
costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial 
year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year. 

Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income 
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of 
shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares. 

Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes 
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from 
the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.  

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

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are 
recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed 
net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) 

New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods  
Accounting Standards issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, together with an assessment of the 
potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future periods, are discussed below: 

 AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or 
after 1 July 2018). 
The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the provisions on hedge accounting outlined below) and includes 
revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments requirements for financial instruments 
and hedge accounting. 
The key changes that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the classification of 
financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting for expected credit loss, and 
the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading in 
other comprehensive income.  AASB 9 also introduces a new model for hedge accounting that will allow greater flexibility in 
the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-financial items.  Should the entity elect to change its 
hedge policies in line with the new hedge accounting requirements of the Standard, the application of such accounting 
would be largely prospective. 
The Group has established an AASB 9 project team and is in the process of completing its impact assessment of AASB 9. 
Based on a preliminary assessment performed over each line of business and product type, the effects of AASB 9 are not 
expected to have a material effect on the Group. 
 AASB 2014-7: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2014) 
AASB 2014-7 (issued December 2014) gives effect to the consequential amendments to Australian Accounting Standards 
(including Interpretations) arising from the issue of AASB 9: Financial Instruments (December 2014). More significantly, 
additional disclosure requirements have been added to AASB 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding credit risk 
exposures of the entity. This Standard also makes various editorial corrections to Australian Accounting Standards and an 
Interpretation. 
AASB 2014-7 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is 
permitted, provided AASB 9 (December 2014) is applied for the same period. 
 AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018, 
as deferred by AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15). 
AASB 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with 
customers. The Group has established an AASB 15 project team and is in the process of completing its impact assessment of 
AASB 15. Based a preliminary assessment performed over each line of business and product type, the effects of AASB 15 are 
not expected to impact the Group. 
 AASB 2015-8: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15 
This Standard amends the mandatory effective date (application date) of AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers so that AASB 15 is required to be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 
instead of 1 January 2017. Therefore, this Standard also defers the consequential amendments that were originally set out 
in AASB 2014-5: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 15. This deferral is achieved in a 
variety of ways because some of the Standards amended by AASB 2014-5 have been superseded by new principal versions 
issued in 2015 that apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 or 2018. This Standard amends 
Interpretation 1052: Tax Consolidation Accounting to update the cross-references to Standards and to remove the 
references to dividends and other distributions, so that the wording of Int 1052.45 is appropriate for annual reporting 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. AASB 15 is also reformatted to follow the structure of the new principal 
versions of other Standards by deleting or moving the Aus-numbered “Application” paragraphs. 
 AASB 2016-3: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Clarifications to AASB 15 
AASB 2016-3 (issued May 2016) makes amendments to AASB 15 to: 
- 

clarify the requirements for assessing whether two or more promises to transfer goods or services to a customer are 
separately identifiable when identifying performance obligations in accordance with AASB 15.27(b) and the factors 
indicating this assessment; 
elaborate on the assessment of “control” over goods or services when determining whether an entity is acting as a 
principal or agent 
clarify the timing of revenue recognition from licensing transactions; and 
extend the application of practical expedients on transition to AASB 15.

AASB 2016-3 mandatorily applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with earlier application 
permitted. 
When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, 
principles-based model. Apart from a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 15 will 
apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to 
facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. 
The core principle of the Standard is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or 
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for 
the goods or services. To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step process: 

- 
- 
- 
- 
- 

identify the contract(s) with a customer; 
identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 
determine the transaction price; 
allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s); and 
recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied. 

The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: restate the contracts that existed in each prior period 
presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (subject to certain practical 
expedients in AASB 15); or recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application to incomplete contracts on the date 
of initial application. There are also enhanced disclosure requirements. 

Going Concern 
The financial statements of the Consolidated Group have been prepared on the going concern basis. As at 30 June 2018 the Group 
had working capital of $941,837 and reported a loss after tax of $465,117 (2017: loss after tax of $994,588).  The Consolidated Group 
expects that net cash inflows from operating activities will be sufficient to cover the costs of operating.  Planned construction activity 
will be funded by a combination of debt and capital raise being based on specific defined project requirements. The directors are of 
the opinion that it is reasonable to believe that the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and therefore the 
going concern basis is appropriate. 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements,  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, 
liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical 
experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the 
circumstances.  The  resulting  accounting  judgements  and  estimates  will  seldom  equal  the  related  actual  results.  The  judgements, 
estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
(refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below. 

Share-based payment transactions 
The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at 
the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account 
the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-
settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting 
period but may impact profit or loss and equity. 

Provision for impairment of receivables 
The  provision  for  impairment  of  receivables  assessment  requires  a  degree  of  estimation  and  judgement.  The  level  of  provision  is 
assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge 
of the individual debtor's financial position.

Provision for impairment of inventories 
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is 
assessed  by  taking  into  account  the  recent  sales  experience,  the  ageing  of  inventories  and  other  factors  that  affect  inventory 
obsolescence. 

Fair value measurement hierarchy 
The Group is required to classify all assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level 
of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical 
assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. 
Considerable judgement is required to determine what is significant to fair value and therefore which category the asset or liability is 
placed in can be subjective. 

The fair value of assets and liabilities classified as level 3 is determined by the use of valuation models. These include discounted cash 
flow analysis or the use of observable inputs that require significant adjustments based on unobservable inputs. 

Estimation of useful lives of assets 
The  Group  determines  the  estimated  useful  lives  and  related  depreciation  and  amortisation  charges  for  its  property,  plant  and 
equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other 
event.  The  depreciation  and  amortisation  charge  will  increase  where  the  useful  lives  are  less  than  previously  estimated  lives,  or 
technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. 

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The Group tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill and other 
indefinite  life  intangible  assets  have  suffered  any  impairment,  in  accordance  with  the  accounting  policy  stated  in  note  1.  The 
recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the 
use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future 
cash flows. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets 
The Group assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each reporting 
date by evaluating conditions specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an impairment trigger 
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use calculations, 
which incorporate a number of key estimates and assumptions. 

Income tax 
The Group  is  subject  to income  taxes  in  the  jurisdictions  in  which  it  operates.  Significant  judgement is required in  determining  the 
provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which 
the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current 
understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences 
will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable 
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. 

Employee benefits provision 
As discussed in note 1, the liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are 
recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting 
date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation 
have been taken into account.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued) 

Lease make good provision 
A provision has been made for the present value of anticipated costs for future restoration of leased premises. The provision includes 
future cost estimates associated with closure of the premises. The calculation of this provision requires assumptions such as application 
of closure dates and cost estimates. The provision recognised for each site is periodically reviewed and updated based on the facts and 
circumstances available at the time. Changes to the estimated future costs for sites are recognised in the statement of financial position 
by adjusting the asset and the provision. Reductions in the provision that exceed the carrying amount of the asset will be recognised in 
profit or loss. 

Warranty provision 
In determining the level of provision required for warranties the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected performance 
of the products, the number of customers who will actually claim under the warranty and how often, and the costs of fulfilling the 
conditions of the warranty. The provision is based on estimates made from historical warranty data associated with similar products 
and services. 

Measurement of capitalisation items 
The group’s accounting policy disclose the requirements for items to be capitalised. The group has established a control framework 
whereby the amounts capitalised are reviewed based on observable information such as timesheets to ensure the amounts 
capitalised appropriately reflect the actual costs incurred. 

Business combinations 
As  discussed  in  note  1,  business  combinations  are  initially  accounted  for  on  a  provisional  basis.  The  fair  value  of  assets  acquired, 
liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are initially estimated by the Group taking into consideration all available information at 
the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination accounting is retrospective, where applicable, 
to the period the combination occurred and may have an impact on the assets and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported  

Note 3. Operating segments 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief 
operating decision makers) in assessing  performance  and determining  the  allocation  of  resources. The Group  only  operates in  one 
business segment being Telco managed cloud and hosting services. 

The operating segment information is the same information as provided throughout the financial statements and therefore 
not duplicated.

Credit risk 
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counterparty or group of counterparties other 
than those receivables specifically provided for and mentioned within Note 7. The class of assets described as “trade and other 
receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group. 

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit 
enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon. Amounts are considered as “past due” when the debt has 
not been settled, with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to the transaction. 
Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for where there 
are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group. 

The balances of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of high credit quality.

Intangible assets include those acquired during the year from ANT including customer contracts, IP and in-house software 
($1,243,702), customer contracts acquired ($238,662) and in-house software developed including the wholesale portal and telco 
billing system ($521,478) together with associated costs. 

Product development costs 
Expenditure on research activites is recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period in which it is incurred.  Where no 
internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expensiture is rescognised as an expense in the income 
statement in the period as incurred. An intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal 
project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following are demonstrated: 
- 
r
- 
o
- 
- 
- 
F

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible assets so that it will be avalibale for use or sale 
the intention to complete the intangible asset to use or sell it 
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset 
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits 
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the 
intangible asset, and 
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. 

- 
The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of direct labour and materials that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its 
intended use. 
Product development assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment and are amortised on a straight-line 
basis over their useful lives, which is up to a maximum of 5 years.

Note 13. Equity - issued capital (continued) 

Capital risk management 
The Group's objectives when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns 
for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. 

Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total 
borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.  

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital 
to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. 

The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the 
current Company's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is actively pursuing additional investments in the short term 
as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies. 

The capital risk management policy remains unchanged from the 2017 Annual Report. 

The share reserve is for shares issued pursuant to the BMS acquisition which is expected to finalise by 31 December 2018.  Reserves 
are the fair value of the options, granted on grant date as detailed in Note 21.

Note 17. Financial instruments 

Financial risk management objectives 
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate 
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets 
and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  Group.  The  Group  uses  derivative  financial 
instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain risk exposures. Derivatives are exclusively used for hedging 
purposes, i.e. not as trading or other speculative instruments. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to 
which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing 
analysis for credit risk and beta analysis in respect of investment portfolios to determine market risk. 

Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). 
These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. 
Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly 
basis. 

The totals for each category of financial instruments, measured in accordance with AASB 139 are as follows:
