Review of operations and financial results 

A review of the operations of the Group during the financial year and the results of those operations saw an 
increase in contract revenue from $99,166,632 to $169,955,735. The profit of the Group for the financial year 
after providing for income tax amounted to $10,689,642 (2019: $6,012,740). The increases reflect consolidation 
of performance across the Group with an improved capability to deliver to meet customer requirements on larger 
scale projects.  

A private capital raising was undertaken during the year which raised $8.9m net of costs providing additional 
operating capital to fund major construction projects as well as positioning the Group in a strong cash position for 
2021 to allow for future acquisitions, if appropriate opportunities arise.  

The Group’s net assets increased by 74% compared to the previous year, which is due to the increase in 
retained earnings and the Group’s capital raising activities.  

The acquisitions and disposals which have occurred during the year are in line with the Group’s strategy to 
increase its geographical position to take advantage of significant infrastructure investment in new markets. 
Refer to Note 31. 

Significant changes in the state of affairs  

During the year, the following changes occurred within the Group:  

•  acquisition of EC&M Limited: 

−  on 20 December 2019, the Group acquired EC&M Limited, a Henderson based Electrical Contracting 

business. The acquisition was made to enhance the Group’s position in electrical infrastructure projects in 
Australia. EC&M Limited had historically serviced many major clients in the Group’s targeted market. The 
cost of the acquisition was $1.5m which was settled in cash. 

•  acquisition of Picton Power Lines (and incorporation of Powerlines Plus (NSW) Pty Ltd) 

−  on 26 November 2019, the Group incorporated Powerlines Plus (NSW) Pty Ltd and acquired the net 

assets of Picton Power Lines Pty Ltd. The acquisition was made to expand the operating capacity of the 
Group into new geographical markets in New South Wales. The cost of the acquisition was $546,000 
which was settled in cash. 

•  Disposal of Genus Engineering Pty Ltd 

−  on 30 September 2019, the Group disposed of its 100% equity interest in its subsidiary, Genus 

Engineering Pty Ltd. The subsidiary was sold to Partum Engineering, a related party for which David 
Riches is a Director. There was no gain or loss registered on disposal. 

• 

issue of share capital: 

−  on 31 March 2020, the Group issued 15,350,877 shares (representing 11% of the total shares on issue) in 

a private equity placement resulting in proceeds of $9.625 million (before costs), each share has the 
same terms and conditions as the existing ordinary shares. Under the terms of the capital raising, the 
corporate advisors received 478,469 shares in lieu of payment. 

Dividends 

In respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2020, $1,230,150 in dividends was paid (30 June 2019: $nil). The

Events arising since the end of the reporting period 

No matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may 
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group 
in future financial years. 

Likely developments

selective on projects given the strength of the Genus platform;

• 

Taking advantage of the expected growth in electrical network infrastructure spending by public and 
private utility companies in Australia; 

Taking advantage of the expected growth in resources sector activity and related electrical network 
infrastructure construction; 

•  Continuing to grow the Diamond business in the large telecommunications sector, which Diamond 

currently only has a small market share; 

•  Continuing to maintain and develop new customer relationships; 

•  Continuing to maintain Genus’ culture and significant investment into staff training; 

•  Continuing to maintain its diversification between the Government utilities and the private sectors; and 

•  Continuing to maintain and grow its panel contract positions to provide a stable base line of year on 

year revenue.

GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities 
Annual financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2020 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements  

1  Nature of operations 

GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and subsidiaries’ (the Group) principal activities include the construction and 
maintenance of transmission and distribution power lines and substations servicing the Western Australian power 
networks as well as providing specialist Engineering, testing and commissioning services to the electrical and 
communications industries. 

2  General information and statement of compliance 

The consolidated general purpose financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (“AASBs”) and other authoritative 
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). Compliance with Australian Accounting 
Standards results in full compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd is a for-profit entity for the purpose 
of preparing the financial statements. 

GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd is the Group’s Ultimate Parent Company. GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd is a Private 
Company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The address of its registered office and its principal place of 
business is Level 1, 63 – 69 Abernethy Road, Belmont, Australia. 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020 were approved and authorised for issue 
by the Board of Directors on 5 October 2020. 

3  Changes in accounting policies 

3.1 New standards adopted as at 1 July 2019 

The Group has adopted the new accounting pronouncements which have become effective this year, and are as 
follows: 

AASB 16 Leases  

AASB 16 ‘Leases’ replaces AASB 117 ‘Leases’ along with three Interpretations (IFRIC 4 ‘Determining whether 
an Arrangement contains a Lease’, SIC 15 ‘Operating Leases-Incentives’ and SIC 27 ‘Evaluating the Substance 
of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease’). 

The adoption of this new Standard has resulted in the Group recognising a right-of-use asset and related lease 
liability in connection with all former operating leases except for those identified as low-value or having a 
remaining lease term of less than 12 months from the date of initial application. 

On transition to AASB 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of 
which transactions are leases. The AASB 16 Leases definition of a leas is applied only to contracts that were 
previously identified as leases at the date of initial application. Contracts that were not identified as leases under 
AASB 117 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease under AASB 16. From the date of initial application, 
lease accounting under AASB 16 is applied to all leases, including those identified in accordance with the 
requirements of AASB 117. 

The Group has applied AASB 16 using the practical expedient approach, under which the right-of-use asset and 
liability have been calculated based on the present value of future rent payments, without adjusting opening 
retained earnings. Additionally, the disclosure requirements of AASB 16 have not generally been applied to 
comparative information.

GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities 
Annual financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2020 

3.1 New standards adopted as at 1 July 2019 (continued) 

The Group has elected not to include initial direct costs in the measurement of the right-of-use asset for 
operating leases in existence at the date of initial application of AASB 16, being 1 July 2019. At this date, the 
Group has also elected to measure the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for 
any prepaid or accrued lease payments that existed at the date of transition. 

Instead of performing an impairment review on the right-of-use assets at the date of initial application, the Group 
has relied on its historic assessment as to whether leases were onerous immediately before the date of initial 
application of AASB 16. 

On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 
months and for leases of low-value assets the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not recognise right-
of-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. 

For those leases previously classified as finance leases, the right-of-use asset and lease liability are measured at 
the date of initial application at the same amounts as under AASB 117 immediately before the date of initial 
application. 

On transition to AASB 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised 
under AASB 16 was 4.97%. 

The Group has benefited from the use of hindsight for determining the lease term when considering options to 
extend and terminate leases. 

The date of initial application of AASB 16 for the Group is 1 July 2019.  

Financial impact of the initial application of AASB 16

For tax purposes the Group receives tax deductions in respect of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities 
in a manner consistent with the accounting treatment.  

3.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing Standards that are not yet effective and 

have not been adopted early by the Group  

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, several new, but not yet effective, Standards and 
amendments to existing Standards, and Interpretations have been published by the AASB. None of these 
Standards or amendments to existing Standards have been adopted early by the Group. 

Management anticipates that all relevant pronouncements will be adopted for the first period beginning on or 
after the effective date of the pronouncement. New Standards, amendments and Interpretations not adopted in 
the current year have not been disclosed as they are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s 
financial statements.

4  Statement of accounting policies 

Basis of preparation 

The Group’s financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost 
convention except for the revaluation of investments. Monetary amounts are expressed in Australian Dollars 
(AUD) are rounded to the nearest whole dollar. 

Basis of consolidation 

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Parent Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 
2020. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with 
the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All subsidiaries 
have a reporting date of 30 June. 

All transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised 
gains and losses on transactions between Group companies. Where unrealised losses on intra-group asset sales 
are reversed on consolidation, the underlying asset is also tested for impairment from a group perspective. 
Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure 
consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. 

Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are 
recognised from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable. 

Non-controlling interests, presented as part of equity, represent the portion of a subsidiary’s profit or loss and net 
assets that is not held by the Group. The Group attributes total comprehensive income or loss of subsidiaries 
between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests based on their respective ownership interests 

Business combination 

The Group applies the acquisition method in accounting for business combinations. 

The consideration transferred by the Group to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the 
acquisition date fair values of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group, 
which includes the fair value of any asset or liability arising from a contingent consideration arrangement. 
Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.  

The Group recognises identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination regardless 
of whether they have been previously recognised in the acquiree’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. 
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

Business combination (continued) 

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the 
sum of (a) fair value of consideration transferred; (b) the recognised amount of any non-controlling interest in the 
acquiree; and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-
date fair values of identifiable net assets. If the fair values of identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated 
above, the excess amount (i.e., gain on a bargain purchase) is recognised in profit or loss immediately. 

Foreign currency translation 

Functional and presentation currency 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars ($AUD), which is also the functional 
currency of the Parent Company. 

Foreign currency transactions and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Group Entity, using the 
exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and 
losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year 
end exchange rates are recognised in profit or loss.  

Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the 
exchange rates at the date of the transaction), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are 
translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined. 

Revenue from contracts with customers 

Revenue  arises  mainly  from construction and service contracts. 

To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Group follows a 5-step process: 

1. 

Identifying the contract with a customer 

2. 

Identifying  the  performance  obligations 

3.  Determining  the  transaction  price 

4.  Allocating  the  transaction  price  to  the  performance  obligations 

5.  Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied. 

The Group often enters into transactions involving a range of the Group’s products and services. In all cases, the 
total transaction price for a contract is allocated amongst the various performance obligations based on their 
relative stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price for a contract excludes any amounts collected on behalf 
of third parties. 

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Group satisfies performance 
obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers. 

The Group recognises contract liabilities for consideration received in respect of unsatisfied performance 
obligations and reports these amounts as other liabilities in the statement of financial position (see Note 20). 
Similarly, if the Group satisfies a performance obligation before it receives the consideration, the Group 
recognises either a contract asset or a receivable in its statement of financial position, depending on whether 
something other than the passage of time is required before the consideration is due.

Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 

Construction Contracts  

Revenue from construction contracts is recognised in the income statement when the performance obligations 
are considered met, which can be at a point in time, or over time, depending on the service provided. Revenue is 
calculated based on the proportion of the contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the 
estimated total contract costs or with regard to specified milestones detailed in the contract agreement. Before 
applying a particular method, the Group will consider the requirements of the contract, and then apply the 
method that it considers is the most appropriate measure of the progress towards completion of the contractual 
performance obligations under AASB 15. 

Services revenue 

Revenue from the provision of services is recognised when the service has been provided. Each service is 
deemed a separate performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated to each obligations based on 
contract prices. Revenue from services is predominantly recognised on the basis of the value of the work 
completed.  

Transaction price and contract modifications 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to under the 
customer contract and which is used to value total revenue and is allocated to each performance obligation. The 
determination of this amount includes “fixed remuneration”, (for example lump sum, schedule of rates or pricing 
for services) and “variable consideration”.  

The main variable consideration elements are claims (contract modifications) and consideration for optional 
works and provisional sums each of which needs to be assessed. Contract modifications are changes to the 
contract approved by the parties to the contract. 

The right to the consideration show be provided for contractually generating an enforceable right once the 
enforceable right has been identified, the Group applies the guidance given in AASB 15 in relation to variable 
consideration. This requires assessment that is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal of 
revenue in the future. 

The measurement of additional consideration arising from claims is subject to a high level of uncertainty, both in 
terms of the amount that customers will pay and the collection times, which usually depend on the outcome of 
negotiations between the parties or decisions taken by judicial/arbitration bodies. The Group considers all 
relevant aspects in circumstances such as the contract terms, business in negotiating practices of the sector, the 
Group’s historical experiences with similar contracts and consideration of those factors that affect the variable 
consideration that are out of control of the Group or other supporting evidence when making the above decision.  

Loss making contracts 

A provision is made for the difference between expected cost of fulfilling a contract and expected on and portion 
of the transaction price whether forecast costs are greater than forecast revenue. The provision is recognised in 
full in a period in which the loss-making contract is identified under AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities 
and Contingent Assets.

Revenue from contracts with customers (continued) 

Loss making contracts (continued) 

Under AASB 137, the assessment of whether a provision needs to be recognised takes place at the contract 
level and there are no segmentation criteria to apply. As a result, there are some instances where loss provisions 
recognised in the past have not been recognised under AASB 15 because the contract as a whole is profitable. 
In addition, when two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time are required to be combined for 
accounting purposes, AASB 15 requires the Group to perform the assessment of whether the contract is onerous 
at the level of the combined contracts. The Group also notes that the amount of loss accrued in respect of a loss 
contract under AASB 111 takes into account an appropriate allocation of construction overheads. This contrasts 
with AASB 137 where loss accruals may be lower as they are based on the identification of ‘unavoidable costs’. 

Interest and dividend income 

Interest income and expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Dividend 
income, other than those from investments in associates, are recognised at the time the right to receive payment 
is established. 

Operating Expenses 

Operating expenses are recognised in profit or loss upon utilisation of the service or at the date of their origin. 
Expenditure for warranties is recognised and charged against the associated provision when the related revenue 
is recognised. 

Borrowing costs 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are 
capitalised during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or 
sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and reported in ‘finance costs’ 
(see Note 7). 

Goodwill 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from a business combination that are not individually 
identified and separately recognised. See Business Combinations (above) for information on how goodwill is 
initially determined. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to impairment testing 
note below for a description of impairment testing procedures. 

Property, plant and equipment  

Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, 
are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any recognised impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment (continued) 

Properties held for production, supply or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried 
at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, 
borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on 
the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.  

Depreciation on revalued buildings is recognised in profit or loss. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a 
revalued property, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the asset revaluation reserve is transferred 
directly to retained earnings. No transfer is made from the revaluation reserve to retained earnings except when 
an asset is derecognised.  

Freehold land is not depreciated. 

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.  

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets (other than freehold land and 
properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. 
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting 
period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.  

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:  

Class of fixed asset 

Buildings: 

Leasehold improvements: 

Plant and equipment: 

Leased plant and equipment: 

Tools and low value assets 

Software and computer equipment 

Motor vehicles

10%-33% 

10%-33%

18.8%-100%

20% - 25% 

Depreciation rates and methods shall be reviewed at least annually and, where changed, shall be accounted for 
as a change in accounting estimate. Where depreciation rates or methods are changed, the net written down 
value of the asset is depreciated from the date of the change in accordance with the new depreciation rate or 
method. Depreciation recognised in prior financial years shall not be changed, that is, the change in depreciation 
rate or method shall be accounted for on a ‘prospective’ basis.  

Assets held under leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. 
However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, 
assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.  

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are 
expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an 
item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the 
carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Leased assets 

As described in Note 3, the Group has applied AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore 
comparative information has not been restated. This means comparative information is still reported under AASB 
117 and IFRIC 4. 

Accounting policy applicable from 1 June 2019.  

The Group as lessee  

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 June 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is or 
contains a lease. A lease is defined as a ‘contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset 
(the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration’. To apply this definition the Group 
assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:  

• 

• 

• 

the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by 
being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group 

the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the  identified asset 
throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of  the contract 

the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess 
whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used  throughout the period of use. 

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee 

At lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance 
sheet. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease 
liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset 
at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any 
incentives received). 

The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the 
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses 
the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist. 

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments 
unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the 
Group’s incremental borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in 
substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual 
value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised. 

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.  

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It 
is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed 
payments. 

When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the right-of-use asset, or 
profit and loss if the right-of-use asset is already reduced to zero. 

The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical 
expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are 
recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee (continued) 

The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.  

Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019 

The Group as a lessee 

Finance leases 

Management applies judgment in considering the substance of a lease agreement and whether it transfers 
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Key factors considered include 
the length of the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset, the present value of the minimum lease 
payments in relation to the asset’s fair value, and whether the Group obtains ownership of the asset at the end of 
the lease term. 

For leases of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments are first allocated to each component based on 
the relative fair values of the respective lease interests. Each component is then evaluated separately for 
possible treatment as a finance lease, taking into consideration the fact that land normally has an indefinite 
economic life. 

See Property, Plant and Equipment note (above) for the depreciation methods and useful lives for assets held 
under finance leases. The interest element of lease payments is charged to profit or loss, as finance costs over 
the period of the lease. 

Operating leases 

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease 
agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such 
as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.  

Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment 

For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely 
independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment 
and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. Goodwill is allocated to those cash-generating units that are 
expected to benefit from synergies of the related business combination and represent the lowest level within the 
Group at which management monitors goodwill.

Impairment testing of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (continued) 

Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated (determined by the Group’s management as 
equivalent to its operating segments) are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or 
cash-generating units are tested 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 or cash-generating unit’s carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. To 
determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit 
and determines a suitable interest rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.  

The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, 
adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount factors 
are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective 
risk profiles, such as market and asset-specific risks factors.  

Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that 
cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-
generating unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an 
impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-
generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount. 

Financial instruments  

Recognition and derecognition 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument.  

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, 
or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is 
derecognized when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. 

Classification and initial measurement 

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value adjusted for transaction costs (where applicable). 

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: 

• 

• 

• 

amortised cost 

fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) 

fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) 

In the periods presented, the Group does not have any financial assets categorized as FVOCI. 

The classification is determined by both: 

• 

• 

the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset 

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Financial instruments (continued) 

Classification and initial measurement (continued) 

All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented within 
finance costs, finance income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables which is 
presented within other expenses. 

Subsequent measurement of financial assets 

Financial assets at amortised cost 

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions (and are not 
designated as FVTPL): 

• 

• 

they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its 
contractual cash flows 

the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding 

After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is 
omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most 
other receivables fall into this category of financial instruments. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) 

Financial assets that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and 
sell’ are categorised at fair value through profit and loss. Further, irrespective of business model financial assets 
whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL. 

The category also contains an equity investment. The Group accounts for the investment at FVTPL and did not 
make the irrevocable election to account for the investment in Volt Power Pty Ltd at fair value through other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI). The fair value was determined in line with the requirements of AASB 9, which 
does not allow for measurement at cost. 

Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The fair values 
of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation 
technique where no active market exists. 

Impairment of financial assets 

AASB 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognise expected  credit losses – the 
‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. This replaced IAS 39’s ‘incurred loss model’.  Instruments within the scope of the 
new requirements included loans and other debt-type financial  assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI, 
trade receivables, contract assets recognised and  measured under AASB 15 and loan commitments and some 
financial guarantee contracts (for the  issuer) that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. 

Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Group first identifying a credit loss event. Instead the 
Group considers a broader range of information when assessing credit risk and measuring expected credit 
losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected 
collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.

Financial instruments (continued) 

Impairment of financial assets (continued) 

In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between: 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

(cid:129) 

financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or 
that have low credit risk (‘Stage 1’) and 

financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and 
whose credit risk is not low (‘Stage 2’). 

‘Stage 3’ would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. 

‘12-month expected credit losses’ are recognised for the first category while ‘lifetime expected credit losses’ are 
recognised for the second category. 

Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over 
the expected life of the financial instrument. 

Trade and other receivables and contract assets 

The Group makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract 
assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in 
contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. 
In calculating, the Group uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to 
calculate the expected credit losses using a provision matrix. 

The Group assess impairment of trade receivables on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk 
characteristics they have been grouped based on the days past due. Refer to Note 33 for a detailed analysis of 
how the impairment requirements of AASB 9 are applied. 

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities 

The Group’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables and derivative financial instruments. 

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs 
unless the Group designated a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. 

Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for 
derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently at fair value with gains 
or losses recognised in profit or loss (other than derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective 
as hedging instruments). 

All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are reported in profit or 
loss are included within finance costs or finance income. 

Inventories  

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-
in-first-out basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated 
costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Taxation  

Tax consolidation  

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are members of a tax-consolidated group under 
Australian tax law. The Company is the head entity within the tax-consolidated group. In addition to its own 
current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the 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.  

Amounts payable or receivable under the tax-funding arrangement between the Company and the entities in the 
tax consolidated group are determined using a ‘separate taxpayer within group’* approach to determine the tax 
contribution amounts payable or receivable by each member of the tax-consolidated group. This approach 
results in the tax effect of transactions being recognised in the legal entity where that transaction occurred, and 
does not tax effect transactions that have no tax consequences to the group. The same basis is used for tax 
allocation within the tax-consolidated group.  

Current tax  

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit before tax as 
reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or 
expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The 
Company’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end 
of the reporting period. Adjustments are made for transactions and events occurring within the tax-consolidated 
group that do not give rise to a tax consequence for the Company or that have a different tax consequence at the 
level of the entity.  

Deferred tax  

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the 
financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax 
liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Adjustments are made for transactions 
and events occurring within the tax-consolidated group that do not give rise to a tax consequence for the 
Company or that have a different tax consequence at the level of the entity.  

Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is 
probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be 
utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the 
initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects 
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the 
temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.  

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in 
subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the 
reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such 
investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable 
profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the 
foreseeable future.

Taxation (continued) 

Deferred tax (continued) 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the 
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to 
be recovered.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which 
the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or 
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets 
reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of 
the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets 
against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the 
Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.  

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties that are 
measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered 
entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment 
property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the 
economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. The directors of the 
Company reviewed the Company's investment property portfolios and concluded that none of the Company's 
investment properties are held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the 
economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, the 
directors have determined that the ‘sale’ presumption set out in the amendments to AASB 112 is not rebutted.  

Current and deferred tax for the year  

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in 
other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised 
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from 
the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business 
combination. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly 
liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an 
insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Equity, reserves and dividend payments 

Share capital represents the fair value of shares that have been issued. Any transaction costs associated with 
the issuing of shares are deducted from share capital, net of any related income tax benefits.  

Other components of equity include the following: 

•  Corporate restructure reserve: comprises amounts recognised upon the introduction of a new ultimate 

parent entity.

Equity, reserves and dividend payments (continued) 

Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits.  

Dividend distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends have 
been approved in a General Meeting prior to the reporting date.  

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity.  

Employee benefits  

Short-term and long-term employee benefits  

Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits, are measured at their nominal values using the 
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.  

Liabilities recognised in respect of long-term employee benefits are measured as the present value of the 
estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to 
reporting date.  

Provisions  

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made 
of the amount of the obligation.  

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present 
obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the 
obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its 
carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is 
material).  

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a 
third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and 
the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.  

Goods and services tax  

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:  

•  Where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of 

the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense, or  

• 

For receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.  

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables 
or payables.  

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is 
classified within operating cash flows.

Government grants  

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group 
recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.  

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the 
purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or 
loss in the period in which they become receivable.  

Government assistance which does not have conditions attached specifically relating to the operating activities of 
the Group is recognised in accordance with the accounting policies above.  

Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty 

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described (above), the directors of the Group are 
required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on 
historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these 
estimates.  

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 
are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period 
of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.  

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies  

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that the directors have made in 
the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts 
recognised in the financial statements.  

Construction contract revenue 

Recognised amounts of construction contract revenues and related receivables reflect management’s best 
estimate of each contract’s outcome and stage of completion. For more complex contracts in particular, costs to 
complete and contract profitability are subject to significant estimation uncertainty. 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty  

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the 
reporting period, that may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of 
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below or elsewhere in the financial statements:  

Impairment of non-financial assets and goodwill 

In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash generating unit 
based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to 
assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate. 

Calculation of loss allowance  

When measuring ECL the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based 
on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each 
other.

GenusPlus Group Pty Ltd and controlled entities 
Annual financial report 
For the year ended 30 June 2020 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) 

Calculation of loss allowance (continued) 

Loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the 
contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from 
collateral and integral credit enhancements.  

Probability of default constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. Probability of default is an estimate of the 
likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and 
expectations of future conditions.  

The Group maintains insurance against Domestic Trade Credit defaults and therefore considers the risk of loss 
to be minimal. 

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment 

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the 
expected utility of the assets. 

Fair value measurements and valuation processes  

Some of the Group's assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes.  

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market-observable data to the extent it is 
available.  

Business combinations 

Management uses valuation techniques in determining the fair values of the various elements of a business 
combination. Particularly, the fair value of contingent consideration is dependent on the outcome of many 
variables that affect future profitability.

of fair value. 

All of the Group’s trade and other receivables in the comparative periods have been reviewed for indicators of 
impairment. The impaired trade receivables are mostly due from customers that are experiencing financial 
difficulties. 

An analysis of unimpaired trade receivables that are past due is given in Note 33.

The Group has lease contracts for land and buildings and for various items of plant, motor vehicles and other 
equipment used in its operations. Leases of plant and equipment and motor vehicles and other equipment 
generally have lease terms between 3 and 5 years, whilst leases over land and buildings have lease terms of 
between 1 and 10 years. The Groups obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor title to the leased 
assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. There are several 
lease contracts that include extension and termination options and variable lease payments, which are further 
discussed below. 

The Group also has certain leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the ‘short-term lease’ 
and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases. 

Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets and the movement during the period:

The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units were determined based on value-in-use calculations, 
covering a three-year forecast, followed by an extrapolation of expected cash flows for the units’ remaining useful 
lives using the growth rates determined by management. The present value of the expected cash flows of each 
segment is determined by applying a suitable discount rate.

Cash flow assumptions 

Powerlines Plus (Qld) Pty Ltd, Proton Power Pty Ltd & KEC Power Pty Ltd 

Management’s key assumptions include stable profit margins, based on past experience in this market. The 
Group’s management believes that this is the best available input for forecasting this mature market. Cash flow 
projections reflect stable profit margins achieved immediately before the budget period. No expected efficiency 
improvements have been taken into account and prices and wages reflect publicly available forecasts of inflation 
for the industry.

disputes.

become payable:

33  Financial risk management 

Risk management objectives and policies 

The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and 
liabilities by category are summarised in Note 12. The main types of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity 
risk. 

The Group’s risk management is coordinated at its headquarters, in close cooperation with the Board of 
Directors, and focuses on actively securing the Group’s short to medium-term cash flows by minimising the 
exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate lasting returns.  

The Group does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write 
options. The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are described below. 

Market risk analysis 

The Group is exposed to market risk through its use of financial instruments and specifically to currency risk, 
interest rate risk and certain other price risks, which result from both its operating and investing activities.

Foreign currency sensitivity 

Most of the Group’s transactions are carried out in Australian Dollars (AUD). Exposures to currency exchange 
rates arise from the Group’s sales and purchases denominated in US-Dollars (USD). A contract commencing 
during the 30 June 2020 financial year required the settlement of certain transactions in USD. The Group holds a 
bank account in USD for this purpose. 

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk was limited to the period between the initial recognition of the 
advance funding receivable in USD and the date funds were deposited. The exchange rate movement in this 
period was considered immaterial for adjustment. Any exchange rate difference would have impacted the 
balance sheet only, and would have nil effect, being offset by a short-term financial liability. 

To mitigate the Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk, non-AUD cash flows are monitored in accordance with 
the Group’s risk management policies. Generally, the Group’s risk management procedures distinguish short-
term foreign currency cash flows (due within six months) from longer-term cash flows (due after six months).  

Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are expected to largely offset one another, no 
hedging activity is undertaken.  

Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Group to currency risk are 
disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management translated into AUD at the closing 
rate:

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity in respect of the Group’s financial assets and 
financial liabilities and the AUD/USD exchange rate ‘all other things being equal’. It assumes a +/- 10% change 
of the AUD/USD exchange rate for the year ended at 30 June 2020 (2019: 10%). The percentage has been 
determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity 
analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date. For the year 
ended 30 June 2020, the impact has been assessed as nil. Financial assets subject to currency sensitivity were 
received on 30 June 2020, and valued at the exchange rate applicable on that date. There was no foreign 
currency exposure for the year ended 30 June 2019.  

If the Australian Dollar (AUD) had strengthened against the US-Dollar (USD) by 10% (2019: 10%) then this 
would have had the following impact:

Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. 
Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s exposure to currency risk. 

Interest rate sensitivity 

The Group’s policy is to minimise interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term financing. Longer-term 
borrowings are therefore usually at fixed rates. At 30 June 2020, the Group is exposed to changes in market 
interest rates through bank borrowings at variable interest rates. Other borrowings are at fixed interest rates. The 
exposure to interest rates for the Group’s money market funds is considered immaterial. 

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates 
of +/- 1% (2019: +/- 1%). These changes are considered to be reasonably possible based on observation of 
current market conditions. The calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each 
period, and the financial instruments held at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All 
other variables are held constant.

The Group is exposed to other price risk in respect of the investment in Volt Power Limited (ASX: VPR). 

For the listed investment in Volt Power Limited, an average volatility of 50% has been observed during 2020 
(2019: 150%). Volatility at the lower end of this scale is considered a suitable basis for estimating how profit or 
loss and equity would have been affected by changes in market risk that were reasonably possible at the 
reporting date due to the relatively low volumes traded. If the quoted stock price for VPR increased or decreased 
by that amount, profit or loss and equity would have changed by $461,000 (2019: $130,000). 

The investment in VPR is considered a long-term, strategic investment. In accordance with the Group’s policies, 
no specific hedging activities are undertaken in relation to this investment. The investment is continuously 
monitored and voting rights arising from the equity instrument are utilised in the Group’s favour.

Credit risk analysis 

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Group. The Group is exposed to 
credit risk from financial assets including cash and cash equivalents held at banks, trade and other receivables 
and contract assets. 

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised at 
the reporting date, as summarised below:

8,244,464

81,618,716 

31,651,256 

The credit risk is managed on a group basis based on the Group’s credit risk management policies and 
procedures.  

Cash and cash equivalents 

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are held with major reputable financial institutions.  

Trade receivables and contract assets 

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer and 
contract with customer. The demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the 
industry and country in which the customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. Geographically, the 
concentration of credit risk is within Australia and, by industry, the concentration is within the commercial 
infrastructure and resources industries. 

The Group continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified either by individual or 
group and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The Group’s policy is to deal only with 
creditworthy counterparties. The ongoing credit risk is managed through regular review of ageing analysis, 
together with credit limits per customer. 

The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade receivables and contract assets. 

To mitigate the impact of any single credit default, the Group maintains a policy of Trade Credit Insurance that 
provides protection in the event of default. 

The Group’s management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for each 
of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality.

(76,966) 

The provision of $77,449 relates to expected credit losses. Impairment provision related to specific debts that are 
more than one year overdue pertains to a small number of customers. The Group continues to strongly pursue all 
debts provided for. 

The Group has established an allowance for impairment that represents their expected credit losses in respect of 
trade receivables and contract assets. 

The Group recognises a provision for impairment related to expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for trade receivables, 
contract assets and other debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the 
difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the 
Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. 

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. 
Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on 
lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate the ECLs. The provision 
matrix is established based on the Group’s historically observed default rates. The Group calibrates the matrix to 
adjust historical credit loss experience with forward looking factors specific to debtors and the economic 
environment where appropriate. At every reporting date, historical default rates are updated and changes in the 
forward-looking estimates are analysed. To date, the Group has not observed or expects to see material decline 
in its customers’ abilities to pay as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic due in part to the nature of those 
customers, which mainly includes large private sector corporations and government organisations, meaning the 
risk of default of receivables is low. Accordingly, no additional expected credit loss allowance pertaining to the 
Coronavirus pandemic have been included. 

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast of economic conditions and 
ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecasts in 
economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also 
not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future.

33  Financial risk management (continued) 
Credit risk analysis (continued) 

Impairment losses (continued) 

The Group considers a financial asset’s potential for default when contractual payments are more than 120 days 
past due, factoring in other qualitative indicators where appropriate. Exception shall apply to financial assets that 
relate to entities under common controls or covered by letter of credit or credit insurance. However, in certain 
cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information 
indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into 
account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable 
expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. 

Liquidity risk analysis 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group might be unable to meet its obligations. The Group manages its liquidity 
needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash 
inflows and outflows due in day-to-day business. The data used for analysing these cash flows is consistent with 
that used in the contractual maturity analysis below. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a 
week-to-week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180 to 
360 day lookout period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing 
facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities 
are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period. 

The Group’s objective is to maintain cash and marketable securities to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day 
periods at a minimum. This objective was met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is 
additionally secured by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial 
assets.  

The Group considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk, in 
particular its cash resources and trade receivables. The Group’s existing cash resources and trade receivables 
(see Note 8) significantly exceed the current cash outflow requirements. Cash flows from trade and other 
receivables are all contractually due within three months. 

As at 30 June 2020, the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities have contractual maturities (including interest 
payments where applicable) as summarised below:

34  Fair value measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the statement of financial position are grouped 
into three levels of a fair value hierarchy. The three levels are defined based on the observability of significant 
inputs to the measurement, as follows: 

•  Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 

•  Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, 

either directly or indirectly 

•  Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability 

•  The following table shows the levels within the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair 

value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019:

Measurement of fair value of financial instruments 

The Group’s finance team performs valuations of financial items for financial reporting purposes, including 
Level 3 fair values, in consultation with third party valuation specialists for complex valuations. Valuation 
techniques are selected based on the characteristics of each instrument, with the overall objective of maximising 
the use of market-based information. The finance team reports to the Audit Committee. Valuation processes and 
fair value changes are discussed among the Audit Committee and the valuation team at least every year, in line 
with the Group’s reporting dates. 

The valuation techniques used for instruments categorised in Levels 2 are described below. There were no 
instruments categorised as Level 3.  

Level 2 fair value measurements 

Contingent consideration (Level 2) 

The fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Burton Power (see Note 31) has been 
determined through analysis of past profitability against management targets, estimated future cash-flows and 
achievement of targets agreed in the purchase agreement.  

The following table provides information about the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the 
most significant inputs: 

Fair value measurement of non-financial assets

Contracting is estimated based on appraisals performed by independent, professionally-qualified property 
valuers. The valuation processes and fair value changes are reviewed by the Board of Directors and Audit 
Committee at each reporting date.

35  Capital management policies and procedures 

The Group’s capital management objectives are:  

• 

• 

to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern 

to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the 
level of risk. 

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity plus its bank loans and other financial 
liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents as presented on the face of the statement of financial position.  

The Group’s goal in capital management is to ensure compliance with the Group’s covenants relating to its 
commercial financing arrangements. These covenants measure the Group’s Debt Service Cover, Gross 
Leverage and Liquidity Ratios, as well as requiring maintenance of a minimum Tangible Net Worth. The Group 
has met all its covenant obligations, since the commercial loan was taken out. 

Management assesses the Group’s capital requirements in order to maintain an efficient overall financing 
structure while avoiding excessive leverage. The amounts managed as capital by the Group for the reporting 
periods under review are summarised as follows: 

Total equity 

Financial liabilities 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Capital

Borrowings

operating capacity (see Note 24).

Information other than the financial report and auditor’s report thereon 

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the 
Group’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report 
thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of 
assurance conclusion thereon.  

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors’ for the financial report 

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

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the 
Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing 
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are 
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 
of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance 
Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf. This description forms part of our 
auditor’s report.
