Annual Report 2022CEO
Update
Dear Shareholders,
I am delighted to report on our strong FY22 results. Amidst
a challenging climate, dealing with the continued impact
of COVID-19, political and economic changes and a series
of natural disasters, our team has once again delivered
exceptional organic growth in line with our strategy.
FY22 saw FSG deliver on expectation for both revenue and
EBITDA. Guidance was met despite flooding in Northern
NSW and Southern QLD delaying the completion of 3
planned networks. These networks and associated revenue
will now flow into FY23.
Our FY22 results, enhanced by the acquisition of
TasmaNet, and key organic growth across our business,
show how our ‘can-do’ culture is supporting our mission to
build a full-service telecommunications group focused on
rural, regional, and remote Australia.
FY22 Highlights
FY22 represented FSG maturing keys areas of the business.
Our management team focused on establishing a sales
and marketing capability specifically oriented to deliver
high value connectivity and managed services products
regionally with industry focus on mining and agribusiness.
Our drive is to ensure FSG is not only the connectivity
provider in rural, regional, and remote Australia, but also
the key partner and supplier of cloud services, managed
services and telephony.
FSG completed the first phase of our nationwide NBN
connectivity project, directly connecting to all 121 NBN
Points of Interconnect (POI’s) across Australia. At the same
4 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
time, we soft launched our Optus MVNO, with production
launch in FY23.
FSG acquired TasmaNet Pty Ltd in Dec 2021. Strategically,
TasmaNet added a team of highly skilled and experienced
network, cloud and infrastructure engineering staff,
together with a comprehensive set of products and
services, adding depth and scale to our managed services
capability.
FSG has established itself as a thought leader in the
design and delivery of LEO based satellite to business and
government. As both a OneWeb partner for Australia and
one of the very early adopters and testers of Starlink’s
business and backhaul products, FSG has created a
product suite delivering, monitoring, and optimising the
use of LEO for business purposes, improving speed to
market, resilience and further validating our mission of
delivering connectivity where there is none. FSG has been
engaged with Queensland Government agencies and
several large enterprises to implement and test LEO at
scale.
FSG maintains a significant infrastructure delivery pipeline,
with 16 new networks under construction and due to
be delivered in FY23. We continue to deliver essential
telecommunications infrastructure in regional areas which
forms the backbone of our infrastructure and active
sharing mobile strategy.
As reported last year, FSG is in the process of constructing
the network to deliver Australia’s first Neutral Host and
Domestic Roaming Trial with our strategic partner OPTUS.
Additionally, this year FSG was selected to lead the $300M
New South Wales Government’s Mobile Connectivity
Project, Active Sharing Partnership (MOCN) program.
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022CEO Update continued
During Phase 1 of the program, which concluded in July
2022, FSG worked with Telstra, Optus, TPG and a range
of 3rd tier carriers to design a working model for Active
Neutral Host Sharing. Phase 2 of the project commences in
September 2022.
We start FY23 with 16 new networks under construction
across rural, regional, and remote Australia. Once built,
our networks will cover over 186,000 square kilometres,
confirming FSG as owning and operating the largest non-
NBN fixed wireless network in Australia.
FSG selected and established strategic partnerships with
Nokia (Radio Access Network) and Mavenir (Core Network
Software) as technology partners for the FSG RAN,
Australia’s 4th Mobile Network. Both technology vendors
are global industry leaders in their disciplines and enable
FSG to operate best of breed 4G / 5G services.
FY22 Financial Performance
Our FY22 financial performance demonstrates FSG’s focus
on delivering multiple revenue streams utilising our regional
infrastructure assets and nationwide NBN network. FY22
also saw substantial revenue growth in our managed
services practice which are specifically aimed at delivering
products and services to business and agribusiness.
Revenue of $42.8M representing an increase of 127% (FY21:
$18.8M). EBITDA increased 113% to $4.6M (FY21: $2.2M).
FY22 was our 6th year of positive cashflow from
operations of $7.0M (FY21: $2.3M). This highlights the
growth of our underlying regionally focused business
and the introduction of complementary products and
services. It also highlights that our growth is predominantly
associated with our core operating business and not the
infrastructure business.
We continue our financial investment in building new
network infrastructure across Australia and invested a
record $10.4M in FY22. Three network projects in Northern
NSW and Southern QLD were delayed due to flooding
associated with the extended weather events impacting
the East Coast of Australia and are now set to be
completed during H1 FY23.
At the close of FY22, FSG has approximately $43.7M
of executable project backlog to deliver in the next 24
months.
The Year Ahead
FSG listed because there is something special and
challenging about our business model. This year, the
group’s effort, dedication, and hard work over the past six
years has been rewarded.
The additional capability and products delivered by the
acquisition of TasmaNet sets the foundation of a new and
exciting range of Managed Services and Cloud Services
products to be deployed across our networks. In July,
FSG announced a 5-year enterprise managed IT services
contract with Kestrel Coal valued at approx. $25M. This win
reinforces the strategic value of our TasmaNet acquisition,
and our focus on our strategic emerging sectors which
include Mining & Resources and Agtech (Agriculture
Technology).
5 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
FY23 will see FSG continue the rollout of the Regional
Australia Network (RAN), Australia’s 4th Mobile Network.
This further distinguishes FSG’s position as the leading
mobile phone carrier, and fixed wireless service provider,
totally focused on rural, regional, and remote Australia.
As reported last year, FSG has been selected by the
Australian Federal Government to trial the use of Neutral
Hosting. FY23 will see this project commence operational
trials. FSG has secured OPTUS’ participation in this
trial alongside FSG, and work continues to encourage
participation by both Telstra and TPG/Vodafone.
The Active Neutral Host model enables FSG to deliver
both our Regional Australia Network (RAN) network and
wholesale mobile phone services for rural, regional, and
remote Australia.
Fundamental to this model, is the importance of providing
shared services across each telecommunications tower
deployed by FSG. Each tower and its electronics can be
utilised by all mobile phone operators. This is an incredible
win-win for all involved, delighting customers, reducing
costs for mobile phone operators, eliminating infrastructure
duplication, and realising more value from Federal and
State Government investment.
FSG has and will continue to develop and deliver
innovative digital and telecommunications solutions to
our customers, and we are incredibly proud to be able to
provide essential services for rural, regional, and remote
Australia.
I look forward to sharing an exciting FY23 with you all.
As always, we have set ourselves another set of audacious
goals and we hope you will continue to be part of
our journey.
Finally, I thank our board, shareholders, staff, and business
partners whose significant contribution and support
enabled the success we report today and is the bedrock of
our future performance.
Stay healthy, stay safe and stay connected.

$2,249,026) and Cashflows from Operations of $7,041,074
(2021 $2,281,434). The increase in EBITDA (113%) from prior

in operational efficiencies. During the period the Group
continued to deploy and expand its carrier network across
NSW, QLD, WA, VIC and NT.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Group is well placed to continue its recent growth
trajectory in FY23 and is expected to generate an increase

telecommunications assets.
FY23 will also see FSG deploy the Regional Australia

12 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Directors’ Report continuedAnnual Report 2022REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
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:
n Principles used to determine the nature and
amount of remuneration
n Details of remuneration
n Share-based compensation
n 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:
n competitiveness and reasonableness
n acceptability to shareholders
n performance linkage / alignment of executive
compensation
n transparency
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is
responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration
arrangements for its directors and executives.
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 achieve and
earnings milestones pursuant to the acquisition of Field
Solutions Group Pty Ltd and other businesses where short
term incentives (STI’s) are offered.
The Board has established a long term employee incentive
plan (LTIP) which was presented for review and ratification
at the 2020 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
13 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
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:
n 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).
n Other performance incentives (such as STI’s) are
generally only paid once pre-determined key
performance indicators have been met.
n Incentives in the form of ESOP options and shares
are intended to align the interests of KMP and the
Company with those of shareholders.
n 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.
KMP receive a superannuation guarantee contribution
required by the government, which is 10% for FY22 and
increasing to 10.5% for FY23 of the individual’s average
weekly ordinary time earnings (AWOTE).
Other than the entitlements provided under the Group’s
defined contribution superannuation arrangements, KMP
do not receive any other retirement benefits.
All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the
company and expensed.
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).
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Directors’ Report continuedAnnual Report 2022Engagement 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 FY23 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.

24 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
Annual Report 2022Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 121Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2022
NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 25.
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 2022 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.
25 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
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
Communication Services
Customers usually pay in advance for communication
services on a monthly basis, typically at the
commencement of the month. Customers typically
pay for hardware and other equipment at the time
of sale. Revenue from the sale of handsets and other
equipment is recognised when control of the handset and
other equipment has transferred to the customer. The
transactions price is determined at the rates stipulated in
the contract with the customer.
Telecommunication Infrastructure
The Group has been engaged by a number of councils
to assist with building infrastructure across a number of
shires. Contracts typically involve a number of separate
performance obligations and the transaction price is
allocated across these performance obligations. The
performance obligations are typically aligned with the
respective milestones. Where amounts are received in
advance of fulfilment of those respective performance
obligations the Group recognises a contract liability. A
contract asset is recognised where the performance
obligations have been satisfied but not yet billed due to
a milestone payment. The Group considers cost-to- cost
method an appropriate measure of progress for the
completion of the performance obligation. The cost-to-
cost method is based on the proportion of the contract
costs incurred for the work performed to date relative
to the estimated total contract costs. Once an invoice is
issued, the corresponding contract asset is reclassified to
Annual Report 2022Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 121Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
trade receivables. No significant financing components
have been identified in the contracts with the councils as
the period between meeting of the performance obligation
and milestone payments.
Contract Liabilities
Revenue is recognised for sales of telecommunications
services when control of the service passes to the
customer. This occurs when the services are delivered to
the customer. The amount received at the time of the sale
transaction is recognised as a contract liability until delivery
takes place and control passes.
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:
n 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
n 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.
26 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
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.
Tax Consolidation
The company and its wholly-owned Australian resident
entities have formed a tax consolidated Group and are
therefore taxed as a single entity from that date. The head
entity within the tax-consolidated Group is Field Solutions
Holdings Limited. Tax expense/ income, deferred tax
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary
differences of the members of the tax-consolidated Group
are recognised in the separate financial statements of
the members of the tax- consolidated Group using the
“separate taxpayer within group” approach by reference to
the carrying amounts in the separate financial statements
of each entity and the tax values applying under tax
consolidation. Current tax liabilities and assets and deferred
tax assets arising from unused tax losses and relevant tax
credits of the members of the tax-consolidated Group are
recognised by the Company (as head entity in the tax-
consolidated Group). Due to the existence of a tax funding
arrangement between the entities in the tax consolidated
Group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable
by the Company and each member of the Group in relation
to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between
the Parent Entity and the other members of the tax
consolidated Group in accordance with the arrangement.

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
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
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.
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.
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
3-25 years
Fixtures and fittings
Motor Vehicles
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.
Employee costs and consulting costs associated with
consulting and installing certain specialised assets during
the year ended 30 June 2022 are appropriately capitalised.
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the
Consolidated Group includes the cost of materials, direct
labour, borrowing cots and an appropriate proportion of
fixed and variable overheads.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost
of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and
27 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
maintenance are recognised as expenses in profit or loss
during the financial period in which they are incurred.
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. Employee costs and consulting
costs associated with consulting and installing certain
specialised assets during the year ended 30 June 2022 are
appropriately capitalised
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.
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022
Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
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.
28 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
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
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
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.
Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to
the instrument. For financial assets, this is 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 (except for trade receivables) are
initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except
where the instrument is classified “at fair value through
profit or loss”, in which case transaction costs are expensed
29 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted
prices in an active market are used to determine fair value.
In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.
Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction
price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant
financing component or if the practical expedient was
applied as specified in AASB 15.63.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at:
n amortised cost; or
n fair value through profit or loss.
A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit
and loss if the financial liability is:
n a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a
business combination to which AASB 3: Business
Combinations applies;
n held for trading; or
n initially designated as at fair value through profit
or loss.
All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating
the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating
interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period.
The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the
financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly
discounts the estimated future cash flows through the
expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount
at initial recognition.
A financial liability is held for trading if:
n it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or
repaying in the near term;
n part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern
of short-term profit taking; or
n a derivative financial instrument (except for a
derivative that is in a financial guarantee contract
or a derivative that is in a effective hedging
relationships).
n Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair
value are recognised in profit or loss to the extent
that they are not part of a designated hedging
relationship are recognised in profit or loss.
n The change in fair value of the financial liability
attributable to changes in the issuer’s credit
risk is taken to other comprehensive income
and are not subsequently reclassified to profit
or loss. Instead, they are transferred to retained
earnings upon derecognition of the financial
liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other
comprehensive income enlarges or creates an
accounting mismatch, then these gains or losses
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
should be taken to profit or loss rather than other
comprehensive income.
A financial liability cannot be reclassified.
Financial assets
Financial assets are subsequently measured at:
n amortised cost;
n fair value through profit or loss. Measurement is on
the basis of two primary criteria:
n the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
financial asset; and
n the business model for managing the financial
assets.
A financial asset that meets the following conditions is
subsequently measured at amortised cost:
n the financial asset is managed solely to collect
contractual cash flows; and
n the contractual terms within the financial asset
give rise to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding on specified dates.
By default, all other financial assets that do not meet
the measurement conditions of amortised cost are
subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group initially designates a financial instrument as
measured at fair value through profit or loss if:
n it eliminates or significantly reduces a
measurement or recognition inconsistency (often
referred to as “accounting mismatch”) that would
otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities
or recognising the gains and losses on them on
different bases;
n it is in accordance with the documented risk
management or investment strategy, and
information about the groupings was documented
appropriately, so that the performance of the
financial liability that was part of a group of
financial liabilities or financial assets can be
managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value
basis;
n it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded
derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows
otherwise required by the contract.
The initial designation of the financial instruments to
measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time
option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the
financial asset is derecognised.
Derecognition
Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously
recognised financial asset or financial liability from the
statement of financial position.
30 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (i.e. when
the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or
expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a
new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial
modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as
an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition
of a new financial liability.
The difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid
and payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or
liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s
contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is
transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of
ownership are substantially transferred.
All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for
derecognition of financial asset:
n the right to receive cash flows from the asset has
expired or been transferred;
n all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have
been substantially transferred; and
n the Group no longer controls the asset (i.e. the
Group has no practical ability to make a unilateral
decision to sell the asset to a third party).
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at
amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and
receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair
value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative
gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment
revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
On derecognition of an investment in equity which was
elected to be classified under fair value through other
comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss
previously accumulated in the investment revaluation
reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred
to retained earnings.
Compound instruments (convertible notes) issued by the
Group are classified as either financial liabilities or equity in
accordance with the substance of the arrangements.
An option that is convertible and that will be settled by the
exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial
asset for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity
instruments will be classified as equity.
The fair value of the liability component is estimated on
date of issue. This is done by using the prevailing market
interest rate of the same kind of instrument. This amount is
recognised using the effective interest method as a liability
at amortised cost until conversion or the end of life of the
instrument.
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
The equity portion is calculated by deducting the
liability amount from the fair value of the instrument as a
whole. The equity portion is not remeasured after initial
recognition. Equity will remain as such until the option is
exercised. When the option is exercised a corresponding
amount will be transferred to share capital. If the option
lapses without the option being exercised the balance in
equity will be recognised in profit or loss.
Costs of the transaction of the issue of convertible
instruments are proportionally allocated to the equity and
liability. Transaction costs in regards to the liability are
included in the carrying amount of the liability and are
amortised over its life using the effective interest method.
Transaction cost in equity is directly recognised in equity.
Impairment
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit
losses on:
n financial assets that are measured at amortised
cost.
Loss allowance is not recognised for:
n financial assets measured at fair value through
profit or loss; or
Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted
estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial
instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all
contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows
expected to be received, all discounted at the original
effective interest rate of the financial instrument.
The Group uses the simplified approaches to impairment,
as applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments.
Simplified approach
The simplified approach does not require tracking of
changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead
requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at
all times. This approach is applicable to:
n trade receivables or contract assets that result
from transactions within the scope of AASB 15:
Revenue from Contracts with Customers and
which do not contain a significant financing
component; and
n lease receivables.
In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix
for trade receivables was used taking into consideration
various data to get to an expected credit loss (i.e. diversity
of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss
experience, etc).
Recognition of expected credit losses in financial
statements
At each reporting date, the Group recognises the
movement in the loss allowance as an impairment
31 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
gain or loss in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of financial assets measured at
amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that
asset.
COVID-19
Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts
that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or
may have, on the group based on known information. This
consideration extends to the nature of the services offered,
customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in
which the Group operates.
New Accounting Standards implemented for
FY22
There were no new accounting standards adopted during
the year.
Leases (the Group as lessee)
The Group as lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses if the
contract contains or is a lease. If there is a lease present,
a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability
is recognised by the Group where the Group is a lessee.
However all contracts that are classified as short-term
leases (lease with remaining lease term of 12 months or
less) and leases of low value assets are recognised as an
operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value
of the lease payments still to be paid at commencement
date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest
rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily
determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing
rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease
liability are as follows:
n fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;
n variable lease payments that depend on an index
or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at
the commencement date;
n the amount expected to be payable by the lessee
under residual value guarantees the exercise price
of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably
certain to exercise the options;
n lease payments under extension options if lessee is
reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
n payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if
the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to
terminate the lease.
The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement
of the corresponding lease liability as mentioned above,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
date as well as any initial direct costs. The subsequent
measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or
useful life of the underlying asset whichever is the shortest.
Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset
or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group
anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset
is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.
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.
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
32 Field Solutions Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities
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.
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.
Field Solutions Holdings LimitedABN 92 111 460 12130 June 2022Annual Report 2022Notes to the consolidated
financial statements continued
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.
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.
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.

Key judgements – Expected Credit Losses
Included in trade receivables > 90 days, approximately 99% relates to larger business customers and after extensive review
87% is considered recoverable. Covid-19 has impacted projects and receivables timeframes have been extended to support
some customers.
Included in trade receivables > 90 days, less than 1% relate to consumer customers the business has a monthly write off per
month of less then 1% of MRR consumer revenue.
A provision of $356,207 has been taken up after an extensive assessment of the expected losses of all debtors.
While there is some uncertainty with timing of collection of the above trade receivables, directors are of the view that the
provision for impairment is adequately measured and recognised in accordance with AASB 9 and this will be reassessed on
an ongoing basis and at each reporting period.
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 8. The class of assets described as “trade
and other receivables” is considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group.

Intangible assets include those acquired during the year from TasmaNet Pty Ltd including customer contracts. Refer to
Note 22 for further information.
Included in Computer Software and IP - Product development costs
n Expenditure on research activities 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 expenditure is
recognised 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:
n the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale
n the intention to complete the intangible asset to use or sell it
n the ability to use or sell the intangible asset
n how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits
n the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell
n the intangible asset, and
n the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset dueing 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

Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each

Share buy-back
There is no current on-market share buy-back.
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 2021 Annual Report.

NOTE 21. 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 9 are as follows:
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade receivables
Other assets
Total financial Assets
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables
Borrowings
Contract liabilities

The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk.
Interest rate risk
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis reflects how net assets attributable to holders of redeemable shares would have been affected by
changes in the relevant risk variable that were reasonably possible at the reporting date.
Management has determined that there a fluctuation in interest rates is unlikely as current short-term lending is at fixed
interest rate. Therefore, the Group is not exposed to any significant interest risk.

Credit risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.
