CEO’S LETTER
Dear Shareholders,
Your Directors and I have much pleasure in presenting the 2016 Annual Financial Statements for HRL Holdings.
Introduction and the past year in review
The 2015-16 financial year was the first full financial year for HRL as an environmental services business. It has been
an exciting year marked by both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. The Group now operates from 9 locations
across Australia and New Zealand.
HRL has undertaken a detailed and tactical review of its operations over the past six months with a particular focus on:
1.
Integrating the acquired businesses and aligning both operating processes and culture;
2. Developing a high performing management team;
3. Expansion of services to create greater diversification of revenue sources; and
4. Building a sales/tender pipeline of works to capitalise on the national presence and expanded service offerings.
Key milestones achieved throughout the year include:
Oct 2015 - Octief expands to Canberra through the acquisition of AAC Environmental
Jan 2016 – HRL appoints Octief General Manager Todd Hastie to lead the Australian environmental business
Feb 2016 – Precise completes acquisition of RJL & Associates, adding a Palmerston North office and a new service
stream in methamphetamine property testing and work place drug and alcohol screening
Mar 2016 – Octief opens new branch in Perth
Apr 2016 – HRL appoints Precise General Manager Rod de Vries to lead the New Zealand environmental business
Apr 2016 – Precise opens new branch in Dunedin
Jun 2016 – Precise opens new branch in Auckland and completes the rollout of drug testing and property screening
services to all 5 New Zealand branches
The core business of environmental services has grown substantially in the past year and is now characterised by:
9 branch locations across Australian and New Zealand, including 6 accredited laboratories
Meth screening services now accounting for around 50% of the New Zealand revenue
New Zealand businesses contribute around 75% of the group revenues
Service capabilities of:
o
o
o
Hazardous material consulting and laboratory services (such as asbestos, lead, synthetic mineral fibres,
chemical contamination and illegal clandestine laboratory investigations);
Environmental management (such as contaminated land investigations, water quality, dust and noise
monitoring); and

Statutory profit before income tax for the trading entities (Octief and Precise) for FY16 was $1.493M. HRL has deliberately
created a corporate structure that can handle substantial future growth without further significant investment.
Outlook for FY2017
We expect market conditions to continue the current trends for the next financial year. Australia has pockets of large
HAMZAT projects and Octief is positioning itself to be ready to undertake these works. The New Zealand market for
HAZMAT services is still in its infancy and through the Precise brand we expect to continue to see exciting growth in this
region.
Octief and Precise have a focussed sales plan and are building a customer base of large asset owners/operators. This
customer focus ensures large initial projects of work convert into long term ongoing and sustainable works.
The strategy for HRL is summarised into the following objectives:
1.
Increase turnover and increase profitability. Our Board sees this as critically important to leverage the strong
foundations put in place over the last 18 months and improve net profitability for shareholders. Our goal to increase
market share will be achieved through organic expansion (new contracts) and strategic acquisitions
2.
Increase depth of technical environmental service offerings. Our Board is seeking acquisitions to grow our soil, air
and water laboratory capabilities
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Chairman and Board for their guidance over the past year and
also to thank all of the HRL Group’s employees for their dedication and hard work. My thanks also to you, our shareholders
for your ongoing support in FY16. I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in FY17 and the transformation
of HRL to one of Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading environmental services groups.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Over the last year HRL Holdings Limited has continued to focus on growing its operations. The Company has achieved
a number of key milestones:
New business acquisitions with the completion of the AAC purchase in September 2015 and the RJL purchase in
March 2016;
Geographic expansion with new branches opened in Canberra, Perth, Dunedin, Palmerston North and Auckland;
Expanded service offerings with the Group adding property contamination, workplace drug testing and additional
HAZMAT field testing capabilities during the year; and
Major contract awarded in New Zealand by the Southern District Health Board.
Below are the key highlights:
Acquisition of AAC Environmental Pty Ltd
On 30 September 2015, HRL completed the acquisition of AAC Environmental Pty Ltd (AAC). The AAC acquisition
underpins HRL’s strategic expansion into the attractive Australian Capital Territory (ACT) market.
AAC commenced operations in 2004 and has been providing environmental services, with a particular focus on asbestos,
to the ACT and surrounding markets for many years. AAC is a NATA accredited asbestos laboratory.
The ACT is currently the asbestos hotspot for the Australian market. The well-publicised loose-fill asbestos insulation
“Mr Fluffy” demolition program has now commenced. The ACT Government is buying Mr Fluffy homes from owners for
the purpose of demolition and re-build.
8
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Under the $1bn program, every demolition must go through the following stages:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Asbestos removal under friable conditions with air monitoring;
Visual and air monitoring clearance post removal;
Demolition of home with air monitoring;
Visual and air monitoring clearance post demolition; and
Soil testing.
AAC provide all of the above monitoring, testing and clearance services and are actively involved in the tendering process.
In addition to Mr Fluffy, AAC has identified a number of other significant opportunities in and around the ACT region.
AAC was subsequently renamed to OCTIEF ACT Pty Ltd during the period.
Acquisition of the RJL & Associates Business
On 1 March 2016, HRL completed the acquisition of the RJL & Associates business (RJL). RJL are specialists in property
contamination testing and work place drug testing. This acquisition allowed Precise to accelerate its expansion plans
into these new service lines. Precise staff have now been crossed trained in the new disciplines.
Property Contamination Testing
Clandestine Methamphetamine Laboratories or “Clan Meth Labs” are a growing problem in New Zealand. With only a
fraction of Clan Meth Labs discovered by authorities, the vast majority may be left undetected for years posing significant
health risks to current and future tenants. Contamination is not just limited to Clan Meth Labs. Heavy methamphetamine
(Meth) consumption and distribution can contaminate premises to a similar level.
Methamphetamine can contaminate a variety of surfaces, furnishings, insulation and drainage systems. Contaminants
pose significant health hazards to people and animals exposed to them.
To mitigate this risk, the New Zealand Government has introduced legislation that places an obligation on landlords to
provide a property to a tenant in a reasonable state of cleanliness. If landlords rent out a property that is contaminated
by Meth, they are breaching their obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, as well as other legislation such
as the Building Act and the Health Act. This legislation has created substantial demand for pre-tenancy testing for Meth.
Depending on initial indications of contamination, more rigorous follow up testing and/or remediation procedures may be
required.
Precise branches now offer a range of Property Contamination Testing services including:
Screen testing of properties for Meth contamination;
IANZ accredited laboratory analysis;
Review by independent (BSc) scientific consultant;
Pre and post remediation examinations and advice on health risks;
Reports to Landlords, Councils and Insurance companies; and
Other services include testing for precursors, volatile organic compounds, soil testing, heavy metals, and mould.
Work Place Drug Testing
Similar to Australia, New Zealand employers have a responsibility under the Health and Safety regulations to take all
practicable steps to make the workplace safe for employees and people in and around the workplace. An employee
impaired by alcohol or drugs is defined as a hazard.
Precise offer employers urine and oral testing solutions. Precise’s growing geographic footprint will allow services to be
provided across New Zealand – a key factor for employers with a nationwide presence.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Geographic expansion
During the year HRL expanded its regional presence with the opening of 5 new branches. In addition to the Canberra
and Palmerston North branches which were acquired as part of the AAC and RJL transactions, the Group green fielded
a further 3 branches in Perth, Dunedin and Auckland.
Perth
OCTIEF, the Australian operational brand, has opened a branch office in Belmont, located approximately 10km from the
Perth CBD. Services offered out of Perth will include:
Asbestos laboratory sample analysis;
Asbestos in soil laboratory analysis;
Contaminated land consultancy;
Air and dust monitoring; and
Building hazardous materials surveys.
OCTIEF has been recently appointed to a panel of preferred suppliers by the Western Australian Governments
Department of Finance – Building Management and Works. OCTIEF is developing relationships with other government
departments and large commercial organisations across Western Australia.
Dunedin
Precise has now opened a branch office in Dunedin. Dunedin is the second-largest city in the South Island of New
Zealand, and the principal city of the Otago Region.
Dunedin and the surrounding regions are home to a large number of educational and government organisations – a key
customer segment for Precise. Precise had already been servicing a number of these organisations from the Christchurch
branch. Work volumes and client demand reached sufficient volume to establish a permanent presence in the region.
This local presence is important to clients and allows Precise to become the leading service provider in the region.
Auckland
In early July Precise opened a new branch which expand operations into Auckland, New Zealand. Located in Penrose,
10km from the Auckland CBD, the branch offers clients a convenient location approximately half way between the city
and the airport in a light industrial/commercial precinct.
The Auckland market is the largest market in New Zealand for Precise’s major service offerings of asbestos and property
contamination testing. It is also home to New Zealand’s largest corporate, educational and government organisations –
the key target customer segments for Precise. Precise already has established relationships with number of these
organisations from its existing operations elsewhere in New Zealand.
Despite its infancy, the Auckland branch has been very busy since opening. Works performed to date have been a mix
of asbestos hygiene works and property contamination testing. Initial meetings with both existing and target clients
indicate significant additional client demand. Precise has recently recruited additional technical staff to expand the
Auckland team.
The Auckland branch was initially planned to operate as a field office and currently does not include laboratory facilities,
however with such a positive initial response from clients Precise is now considering the business case of setting up a
laboratory.
Southern District Health Board Contract
Precise was awarded a significant contract by the Southern District Health Board (Southern DHB) to carry out asbestos
surveys across its extensive property portfolio.
Southern DHB is the Government-funded organisation responsible for most publicly funded primary health and hospital
services in the Southland and Otago regions of New Zealand. Southern DHB is responsible for planning, funding and
providing health and disability services to Invercargill City, Queenstown - Lakes District, Gore, rural Southland, Clutha,
Central Otago, Maniototo, Waitaki District and Dunedin City.
Precise will conduct surveys across Southern DHB’s assets. Laboratory sample analysis will also be undertaken to keep
the entire process in-house, ensuring both quality and efficient turnaround times.
10
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The contract is expected to be completed over a 3 year period and will be serviced out of the recently opened branch
office in Dunedin.
This contract, following on from the successful Chorus project, demonstrates HRL’s ability to win large scale competitive
contracts, by consistently delivering safely executed projects, on time and to budget which add value to our clients.
Trading Review
New Zealand
Activity in New Zealand continues to be very strong, with New Zealand operations now accounting for approximately 65%
of the group’s revenue.
OCTIEF Limited (NZ) completed the first round of major survey works for Chorus New Zealand Limited (Chorus) assets
across both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. OCTIEF Limited (NZ) surveyed over 800 assets which provided
an excellent source of revenue. The first round of these survey works were completed in March 2016.
Precise continues its strong performance with revenues growing substantially over the last year. Precise secured a
number of quality clients during the year including the Southern District Health Board, Kiwi Rail, Victoria University, Vero
Insurance and Housing New Zealand Corporation. Precise has a very strong tender pipeline of opportunities with
government agencies, education facilities, councils, and large commercial clients.
The Christchurch earthquake recovery program has now begun to transition to its next phase and Precise saw a drop off
in laboratory testing in its Christchurch branch in the second half of the year. This was not unexpected and Precise began
the process of regional and service diversification earlier in the financial year. New Zealand revenues are now
substantially more diversified across all the branches and across all service offerings.
Complementing the Christchurch, Wellington and Palmerston North branches (acquired as part of the RJL purchase),
Precise also opened branches in Dunedin in April and Auckland in early July. The Dunedin branch was opened on the
back of work volumes and client demand which had reached sufficient volume to justify a permanent presence in the
region. The Auckland branch, despite being in its infancy, is already generating solid revenues and once fully operational
should be a major contributor the Group.
The integration of the recently acquired RJL & Associates Limited (RJL) business into its Precise brand is now complete.
The RJL acquisition has allowed Precise to accelerate its expansion into property contamination testing and work place
drug testing. Existing Precise staff have been crossed trained in the new disciplines and each New Zealand branch is
now conducting property contamination testing and work place drug testing services. Activity in this area has been very
strong with substantial revenue growth resulting from the new geographic coverage and increased volumes.
HRL has been closely following the recent introduction of the New Zealand Asbestos Regulations to accompany the
Health and Safety Reform Bill. The regulations are modelled around the Australian legislation and will drive a higher level
of demand for Precise services throughout New Zealand as businesses need to ensure compliance in areas such as
asbestos registers, management plans, IANZ accredited laboratory testing and air monitoring during asbestos removal
activities.
Australia
A significant portion of OCTIEF’s revenue has traditionally been derived from asbestos auditing of Queensland public
sector assets. Ongoing government inactivity at both a state and federal level has had a negative impact on OCTIEF
performance in FY16. With the federal election now resolved, OCTIEF is actively engaging with both government and
lead contractors to provide its services on new infrastructure projects and upgrades. OCTIEF expanded its environmental
engineering/scientific team during the year and this service line demonstrated pleasing growth. OCTIEF is currently
tendering and negotiating for major contracts across Australia. The business focus remains on HAZMAT compliance for
major corporate clients and government agencies at all levels of government.
Despite its modest size and limited market, the Northern Territory branch experienced a strong year of activity. Primary
sources of revenue included a major soil remediation project and substantial field monitoring works across a number of
public sector assets including asbestos audits of hospitals.
11
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
After its acquisition in October, the ACT branch suffered a setback when the vendor and operations manager resigned in
February. There was a delay in hiring ACT based staff until Q4, which impacted operational capabilities in the second
half of the year. OCTIEF have now recruited suitably qualified and experienced staff to run this branch and we are now
seeing orders and revenue increasing. The executive team are also committed to re-establishing market presence in the
region by re-engaging with both existing client and new leads. The ACT market remains very active and with the
necessary restructuring now completed, we anticipate good returns over the medium term.
As part of its strategy, HRL will continue to aggressively target government and large corporate based projects in both
Australia and New Zealand as they:
are typically longer term;
demand the higher levels of service and reporting that the HRL Group are known for;
are of a scale that smaller “cut price” operators cannot service; and
provide consistent revenue in an industry which has volatile demand from the private sector.

In the opinion of the Directors, the Group’s underlying profit reflects the results generated from ongoing operating activities
and is calculated in accordance with AICD/Finsia principles. The non-operating adjustments outlined above are
considered to be non-cash or non-recurring in nature. These items are included in the Group’s consolidated statutory
result but excluded from the underlying result.
12
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Comparison with the Prior Period
Underlying profit after tax for the year increased by $558,164 compared with the prior period. The key reasons for the
movement were:
The inclusion of the results of Precise Consulting for the full year in FY16 (3 months in FY16);
The additional revenue and profit resulting from the acquisition of the RJL business from 1 April 2016;
Subdued activity in Queensland and ACT as described in the Review of Operations above;
Additional employee, administration and corporate costs reflecting the increase from 4 branches in FY15 to 9
branches in FY16.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
There following significant changes occurred during the year:
Acquisition of the Australian based environmental consulting and laboratory services business AAC Environmental
Pty Ltd (October 2015);
Acquisition of the New Zealand based property contamination and work place drug testing services business RJL
and Associates (March 2016); and
Opening of 3 new branches (in addition to the Canberra and Palmerston North branches acquired as part of the
AAC and RJL transactions) in Dunedin, Perth and Auckland;
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE OPERATIONS
During FY2017, the Group will continue to focus on growing both the OCTIEF and Precise Consulting businesses through:
Focussed business development plans to target new customers and protect the existing customer base;
Utilising new equipment and software platforms to improved efficiencies and margins;
Promotion of new property contamination service lines in the Australian market;
Geographical expansion into new markets when justified; and
Capitalise when possible on the introduction of new regulations surrounding the HAZMAT sector.
In addition, the Group will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities of high quality businesses both within the
environmental services sector and across other complimentary industries.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR AUDITOR
Each of the Directors and the Secretary of the Company has entered into a Deed with the Company whereby the
Company has provided certain contractual rights of access to books and records of the Company and certain
indemnification to those Directors and Secretary.
The Company has insured all of the Directors of HRL Holdings Limited. The contract of insurance prohibits the disclosure

disclosure of the information in these circumstances.
The Company has not indemnified its auditor.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for Directors and Key Management Personnel of the Company.
Remuneration Policy
The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and Executives. To prosper, the Company
must attract, motivate and retain highly skilled Directors and Executives.
Remuneration Committee
The Board does not have Remuneration or Nomination Committees. The full Board is responsible for determining and
reviewing compensation arrangements for the Directors and the Executive team.
The Board assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such officers on a periodic basis
by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder
benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and Executive team.
Officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emoluments in a variety of forms including cash and fringe benefits.
It is intended that the manner of payments chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the
company.
Remuneration structure
It is the Company’s objective to provide maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality Board and
Executive team by remunerating Directors and other Key Management Personnel fairly and appropriately with reference
to relevant employment market conditions.
To assist in achieving this objective, the Board considers the nature and amount of Executive Directors’ and Officers’
emoluments alongside the company’s financial and operational performance. The expected outcomes of the
remuneration structure are the retention and motivation of key Executives, the attraction of quality management to the
Company and performance incentives which allow Executives to share the rewards of the success of the company.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of Executive and Non-Executive Director
remuneration is separate and distinct.
Non-Executive Director Remuneration
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level which provides the company with the ability to attract and retain
Directors of the highest caliber, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
The Constitution of HRL Holdings Limited and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the Non-Executive Directors are entitled
to remuneration as determined by the Company in a General Meeting to be apportioned among them in such manner as
the Directors agree and, in default of agreement, equally. The maximum aggregate remuneration currently approved by
shareholders for Directors’ fees is for a total of $250,000 per annum.
If a Non-Executive Director performs extra services, which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the
ordinary duties of the Director, the company may remunerate that Director by payment of a fixed sum determined by the
Directors in addition to or instead of the remuneration referred to above. Non-Executive Directors are entitled to be paid
travel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending Directors or General Meetings of the Company or
otherwise in connection with the business of the Company.
The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors for the year ended 30 June 2016 is detailed in this Remuneration Report.
Executive Directors and Senior Management Remuneration
The Company aims to reward Executive Directors and Senior Management with a level and mix of remuneration
commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the company and so as to:
reward Executives for Company and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate
benchmarks;
align the interests of Executives with those of shareholders;
link reward with the strategic goals and performance of the Company; and
ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.
The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Senior Management may from time to time be fixed by the Board. As
noted above, the Board’s policy is to align Executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a
fixed remuneration component and offering long-term incentives. The level of fixed remuneration is set so as to provide
16
REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED
a base level of remuneration which is both appropriate to the position and is competitive in the market. Fixed remuneration
is reviewed annually by the Board, and the process consists of a review of company wide and individual performance,
relevant comparative remuneration in the market and internal, and where appropriate, external advice on policies and
practices.
In relation to the payment of bonuses, options and other incentive payments, discretion is exercised by the Board, having
regard to the overall performance of the Company and the performance of the individual during the year.
The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Senior Management for the period ended 30 June 2016 is detailed in
this Remuneration Report.
Employment contracts
It is the Board’s policy that employment agreements are entered into with all Directors, Executives and employees. The
current employment agreement with the Executive Director and CEO has a three month notice period. All other
employment agreements have one month (or less) notice periods. No current employment contracts contain early
termination clauses. All Non-Executive Directors have contracts of employment. None of these contracts have
termination benefits.

Fixed remuneration is not linked to Group performance. It is set with reference to the individual’s role, responsibilities and
performance and remuneration levels for similar positions in the market.
Profit targets are deemed an appropriate performance measure for the granting of short and long term incentives to senior
executives given that it is the key target hurdle referenced by the Board in preparing its annual budgets and measuring
Group performance. Profit targets reflects the Directors’ assessment of the result for the ongoing business activities of
the Group by excluding non-cash, one-off market related items that are usually out of management’s control. The annual
target is determined by the Board having regard to the Group’s annual budget. The target could be higher or lower than
budget, and is adjusted for the effect of material equity issues.
Prior to the restructure in FY2015, the link between remuneration, Company financial performance and shareholder
wealth generation was tenuous, particularly in the exploration and development stage of a geothermal company. Share
prices are subject to the influence of international energy prices and market sentiment towards the sector and increases
or decreases may occur independently of executive performance or remuneration.
Both the CEO and Executive Director had the opportunity to earn up to 50% of their base salary each upon the Group
meeting certain profit targets. No bonuses were paid or are due to be paid as the profit targets were not met.
No dividends were paid by HRL Holdings Limited nor was there any return of capital over the past 5 years.
No shares were issued on exercise of options issued as part of remuneration in 2016.
538,462 options expired during the period.
No equity instruments were issued as remuneration in 2016.
The Company did not engage any remuneration consultants during the financial year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Introduction
This financial report covers the Consolidated Entity of HRL Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities
(together referred to as the “Consolidated Entity”). HRL Holdings Limited is a listed public company, incorporated and
domiciled in Australia.
As a result of the acquisition of OCTIEF Pty Ltd in the prior year (as discussed in Note 2) this financial report represents a
continuation of the financial statements of OCTIEF Pty Ltd being the accounting parent entity of the Group.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated.
Operations and principal activities
The principal operating activities of the Group are property contamination testing, environmental consulting and hazardous
materials analytical laboratory services with offices and laboratory facilities across Australia and New Zealand.
The Group offers services including industrial hygiene, asbestos and hazardous materials management, property
contamination testing, workplace drug testing, environmental services (air, water and soil including contaminated land),
building contamination assessment, and specialised NATA/IANZ - accredited laboratory analysis and on-site testing and
monitoring.
Geothermal exploration projects have been placed on care and maintenance while the Group evaluates the best way to
develop the projects held.
Currency
The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar, which is the functional currency of the
Company.
Authorisation of financial report
The financial report was authorised for issue on 26 August 2016.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. HRL Holdings Limited is a for-profit entity for the
purpose of preparing the financial statements.
The financial statements of the Consolidated Entity also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical convention, modified, where applicable, by the
measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It
also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Consolidated Entity’s accounting
policies.
The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and
best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on historical
experiences and the best available current information on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and
within the Consolidated Entity. The estimates and judgements made assume a reasonable expectation of future events
but 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 and future
periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following critical accounting estimates or judgements were made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting
policies that in management’s assessment can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
33
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated
in Note 1(p). The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use calculations.
These calculations require the use of assumptions. Refer to Note 15 for details of these assumptions and the potential
impact of changes to the assumptions.
Provisions
The Group has estimated the likely payout under the earn out payment on acquisition of Precise Consulting and Laboratory
Limited (refer Note 3). This calculation requires the use of assumptions. Refer to Note 17 for details of these assumptions
and the potential impact of changes to the assumptions.
Accounting policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated
Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity 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 Consolidated Entity. They are deconsolidated
from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Consolidated Entity.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Consolidated Entity companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the
transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Consolidated Entity.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet respectively.
Business combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities
or businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is attained,
whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is
recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).
When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity
is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an
asset or liability is remeasured each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss,
unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.
All transaction costs incurred in relation to the business combination are expensed to the statement of comprehensive
income. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.
(b) Income Tax
The income tax expense (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense
(income). Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income. Current tax liabilities
(assets) are measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred
income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well
unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited outside profit or loss when
the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.
Except for business combinations, no deferred income tax is recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability,
where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled and their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover
or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
34
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are offset where: (a) a legally enforceable right of set-off exists; and (b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities
relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities
where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will
occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or
settled.
The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit/(loss) for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or
disallowed items. It is calculated using the tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance
date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
(c) Plant and Equipment
Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated
recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment
losses are recognised in profit or loss. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators
are present (refer to Note 1(f) for details of policy for impairment).
The cost of fixed assets constructed within the Consolidated Entity includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing
costs 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 benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of comprehensive income
during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over the asset’s useful life to the
Consolidated Entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated
over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
The depreciation rates used for each class of asset is:
Class of Fixed Asset
Leasehold improvements
Motor vehicles
Office equipment
Laboratory equipment
Depreciation Rate
20%
25%
40% - 67%
20% - 40%
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses
are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the
revaluation surplus relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.
(d) Leases
Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the
legal ownership is transferred to entities in the Consolidated Entity, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of
the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values.
Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.
35
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised
as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
(e) Financial Instruments
Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to
the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Consolidated Entity commits itself to either the
purchase or sale of the asset.
Financial instruments 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 to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or
cost.
Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal
repayments and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that
initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method.
Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to
determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar
instruments and option pricing models.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is
equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and
other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of
the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future
net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or
expense item in profit or loss.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-
term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting
mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management
personnel on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets
are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.
(ii) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Loans and receivables are included in current assets,
where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable
payments, and it is the Consolidated Entity’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently
measured at amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets where they are expected to mature greater than 12 months
after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as current assets.
36
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(e) Financial Instruments (continued)
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other
categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise
investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (ie gains or losses) recognised in other
comprehensive income (except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses). When the financial asset
is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income
is reclassified into profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets where they are expected to be sold greater than 12
months after the end of the reporting period. All other financial assets are classified as current assets.
(v) Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial
instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant or prolonged decline in
the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised
in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is
reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
Financial guarantees
Where material, financial guarantees issued that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due are recognised as a financial liability at fair
value on initial recognition.
The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially
recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity
gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118.
The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow
approach. The probability has been based on:
– the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period;
– the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; and
– the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default.
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to
another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated
with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair
value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Impairment of Assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may
be impaired. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use, to the asset’s carrying
amount. Any excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss,
unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard. Any impairment loss of a revalued
asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Entity estimates the
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(g) Employee Benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months
after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’
services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities
are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
(ii) Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end
of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of
expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period.
Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of
service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of government
bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to
defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected
to occur.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed when incurred.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For statement of cash flow presentation purposes cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits available on
demand with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank
overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reported within short-term borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.
(i) Revenue and Other Income
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade
discounts and volume rebates allowed. When the inflow of consideration is deferred, it is treated as the provision of
financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The
difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue from the provision of services is recognised on an accruals basis in the period in which the service is provided.
Revenue from the provision of these services is calculated with reference to the professional staff hours incurred on each
client assignment adjusted for any time that may not be recoverable.
Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
(j) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is
not recoverable from the relevant tax authority. 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 relevant tax authority is included with
other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.
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 relevant tax authority are presented as operating cash flows included in
receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.
(k) Contributed Capital
Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Consolidated Entity. Any
transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share
proceeds received.
(l) Earnings per Share
The Consolidated Entity presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is
calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

(m) Comparative Figures
When required by accounting standards comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation
for the current financial year.
(n) Foreign Exchange
Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedges. Exchange differences arising
on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly
recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Subsidiary companies
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Consolidated Entity’s
presentation currency are translated as follows:
- assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
-
-
income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities are recognised
in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are
repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill
and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
operation and translated at the closing rate.
(o) Intangible Assets
Customer contracts
Customer contracts acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The customer
contracts are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of projected cash flows of the contracts over their estimated useful lives,
which currently vary from 2 to 3 years.
Licenses and accreditations
Licenses and accreditations acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill. The
licenses and accreditations are carried at their fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of projected cash flows of the contracts over their
estimated useful lives, which is estimated at 2 years.
(p) Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the
disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-
generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which
the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes.
(q) Finance Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e. an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale) are capitalised as part of the cost of
that asset.
For non-specific borrowings, borrowing costs are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate. All other
borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group
incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

(r) New Accounting Standards
The Consolidated Entity adopted all new Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective for the year ended 30 June
2016. There were no material impacts on the financial statements of the Consolidated Entity as a result of adopting these
standards.
(s) New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2016
reporting periods. The Consolidated Entity has decided against early adoption of these standards. The Consolidated
Entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments
This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2018. This standard introduces new classification and measurement models for financial assets, using a single
approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. To be classified and measured
at amortised cost, assets must satisfy the business model test for managing the financial assets and have certain
contractual cash flow characteristics. All other financial instrument assets are to be classified and measured at fair value.
This standard allows an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that
are not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with dividends as a return on these investments being recognised
in profit or loss. In addition, those equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would
no longer have to apply any impairment requirements nor would there be any 'recycling' of gains or losses through profit
or loss on disposal. The accounting for financial liabilities continues to be classified and measured in accordance with
AASB 139, with one exception, being that the portion of a change of fair value relating to the entity's own credit risk is to
be presented in other comprehensive income unless it would create an accounting mismatch. The Consolidated Entity has
not yet evaluated the impact adoption of this standard will have.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2017. This standard requires recognised revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. This means that revenue will be recognised when control of goods or services is transferred, rather than
on transfer of risks and rewards as is currently the case under IAS 18 Revenue. The Consolidated Entity has not yet
evaluated the impact adoption of this standard will have.
AASB16 Leases
This standard and its consequential amendments are currently applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2019. When effective, this standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in
AASB117 Leases and related interpretations. AASB16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the
requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. This means that for all leases, a right-to-use asset
and a liability will be recognised, with the right-to-use asset being depreciated and the liability being unwound in principal
and interest components over the life of the lease. The Consolidated Entity has not yet evaluated the impact adoption of
this standard will have.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity
in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

OCTIEF ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING AND SHARE BASED PAYMENT EXPENSE
On 15 September 2014 the Company announced the completion of the 100% acquisition of an environment services
business, OCTIEF Pty Ltd (OCTIEF). The initial consideration paid by HRL to the vendors for the purchase of 100% of
OCTIEF was the issue and allotment of 320,754,355* fully paid ordinary HRL shares. This represents 50% of the total
maximum consideration of the transaction.
HRL agreed to issue further HRL shares to the vendors upon satisfaction of each of the three identified milestones being
achieved by the respective dates as follows:
Milestones
Milestone shares
1. OCTIEF achieves revenue for the 6 months to 31
December 2014 which equals or exceeds $1.75m.
160,377,178* being 25% of the total
consideration for the transaction.
Result
Achieved
If revenue is less than $1.75 million for the
six month period ending 31 December 2014,
the Milestone One Payment will be reduced
on a pro-rata basis, but cannot be less than
75% of the full entitlement.
2. OCTIEF establish a laboratory in Darwin
96,226,306* being 15% of the total
consideration for the transaction.
Achieved
3. OCTIEF achieves revenue for the 12 months to
30 June 2015 which equals or exceeds $4.25m.
64,150,871* being 10% of the total
consideration for the transaction.
If revenue is less than $4.25 million for the
12 month ending period 30 June 2015, the
Milestone Three Payment will be reduced on
a pro-rata basis, but cannot be less than
75% of the full entitlement.
Partially achieved –
88.2% of the maximum
number of shares issued
in September 2015
* Prior to the 1:13 share consolidation
The acquisition of OCTIEF resulted in OCTIEF shareholders holding a controlling interest in HRL after the transaction.
This transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination in AASB 3 Business Combinations. The transaction
has therefore been accounted in accordance with AASB 2 Share-based Payment and has been accounted for as a
continuation of the financial statements of OCTIEF together with a deemed issue of shares. The deemed issue of shares
is, in effect, a share-based payment transaction whereby OCTIEF is deemed to have received the net assets of HRL,
together with the listing status of HRL.
Because the financial statements represents a continuation of the financial statements of OCTIEF, the principles and
guidance on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in a reverse acquisition set out in AASB 3 have
been applied as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
fair value adjustments arising at acquisition were made to HRL’s assets and liabilities, not those of OCTIEF. As the
carrying value of all assets and liabilities held by HRL at acquisition date approximated their fair value, no
adjustments were required;
the equity structure (the number and type of equity instruments issued) at the date of the acquisition reflects the
equity structure of HRL, including the equity instruments issued to effect the acquisition;
retained earnings/ (accumulated losses) and other equity balances at acquisition date are those of OCTIEF;
the results for the year ended 30 June 2015 comprise the consolidated results for OCTIEF together with the results
of the wider HRL group from 15 September 2014;
the comparative results represent the consolidated results of OCTIEF only;
the cost of the acquisition, and amount recognised as contributed equity to affect the transaction, is based on the
deemed number of shares that OCTIEF would have needed to issue to give the shareholders of HRL the same
shareholding percentage in the Combined Entity that results from the transaction; and
a share-based payment transaction arises whereby OCTIEF is deemed to have issued shares in exchange for the
net assets of HRL together with the listing status of HRL. The listing status does not qualify for recognition as an
intangible asset and the relevant cost has therefore been expensed as a listing expense.
The fair value of the deemed number of shares that OCTIEF would have needed to issue is estimated to be $2,899,715.
The fair value of HRL’s net assets at acquisition date was $1,647,260. Deducting this from the deemed consideration
results in a listing expense of $1,252,455.

PRECISE CONSULTING ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING
On 1 April 2015, HRL acquired 100% of the issued capital of Precise Consulting and Laboratory Limited (Precise
Consulting). The agreed purchase consideration was:
initial payment of NZD$5,000,000 cash; and
earn-out consideration of up to NZD$2,500,000.
The amount of earn out consideration is based on Precise Consulting’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the
year 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015:
EBIT (NZD)
Earn Out Consideration (NZD)
Less than $1.9 million

More than $2.5 million
$700,000
$1,300,000
$1,900,000
$2,500,000
Payment of the earn-out consideration was contingent on Mr Halkyard’s ongoing service for a minimum period of three
years after acquisition, with any earn-out consideration reduced proportionately by the length of time not employed. Mr
Halkyard resigned from the General Manager position of Precise on 31 March 2016. Accordingly the total earn-out was
reduced to $233,333 NZD. This amount was settled during the 2016 year.
As the earn-out consideration was contingent on Mr Andre Halkyard’s ongoing service, the principles and guidance as set
out in AASB 3 require that any earn-out consideration be expensed as an employment cost in the relevant period the
service was provided. Consequently the earn-out consideration does not form part of the part of purchase consideration
when accounting for the business combination. Refer to Note 17 for details of the accounting for the earn-out provision.

AAC ENVIRONMENTAL PTY LTD ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING
On 30 September 2015, HRL acquired 100% of the issued capital of AAC Environmental Pty Ltd (AAC). The company
was subsequently renamed to OCTIEF ACT Pty Ltd. The agreed purchase consideration was:
initial payment of $1,000,000 cash; and
earn-out consideration of up to $500,000.
The amount of earn out consideration is based on AAC’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the year 1 October
2015 to 30 September 2016:

Payment of the earn-out consideration was contingent on Mr Arthur Watson’s, the vendor and operations manager of the
Canberra’s branch, ongoing service with AAC during the earn out period. In the situation where Mr Watson’s employment
is terminated prior to the minimum period, the earn-out consideration was to be reduced proportionately to the length of
time not employed.
Mr Watson resigned from AAC in early February 2016. HRL reached a settlement with vendors where in exchange for
$50,000 and the transfer of a motor vehicle with a value $29,199 (total settlement of $79,199), HRL was released from this
earn-out obligation.
The assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the acquisition are as follows:

Revenue and profit contribution
AAC contributed revenues of $317,618 and net profit of $19,704 to the group for the period from 1 October 2015 to 30
June 2016. During the second half of FY2016, the Group began transitioning the Canberra business into OCTIEF Pty Ltd,
with a view to closing down the AAC entity in the coming months.
Prior to acquisition AAC’s business included a range of service lines relating to asbestos removal which the HRL Group
did not continue with post acquisition. Consequently it is not possible to determine the pro-forma revenue and profit
contribution to the HRL Group if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2015 and the operations of ACC had been included

On 1 March 2016, Precise acquired completed the purchase of the RJL & Associates Limited (RJL) business. The agreed

Upon purchase, the RJL business was immediately integrated with Precise and its service lines integrated across all of
Precise’s branches. Consequently it is not possible to determine RJL’s direct contributed revenues and net profit to the
Group since acquisition. The new service lines of property contamination testing and work place drug testing introduced
as part of the RJL purchase contributed revenues of $601,686 from 1 March 2016 to 30 June 2016.
For the same reasons noted above it is not possible to determine the pro-forma revenue and profit contribution to the HRL
Group if the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2015 and the operations of RJL had been included from that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 6
INCOME TAX (CONT’D)
Tax consolidation
HRL Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned Australian controlled entities have formed a tax-consolidated group. HRL
Holdings NZ Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of HRL Holdings Limited) and its wholly-owned New Zealand controlled
entities have formed a tax-consolidated group. The entities in the tax group have entered into a tax sharing agreement to
limit the joint and several liability of the wholly-owned entities in the case of a default by the relevant Head Entity.
A tax funding agreement where the wholly-owned entities fully compensate the Head Entity for any current tax receivable
and deferred tax assets related to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to the Head Entity under
the tax consolidation legislation has also been entered into. The transfer of such amounts to the Head Entity is recognised
as inter-company receivables or payables.
Each entity in the tax-consolidated group continues to account for its own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax
amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own
right.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, each relevant Parent entity also recognises the current tax liabilities
(or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled
entities in the tax consolidated group.

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of
business. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current.
Other receivables generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the group.
The non-current bonds and other deposits receivables are due and payable within three years from the end of the reporting
period.
Impairment of receivables
The Group recognised a loss of $5,583 during the year (2015: $5,012) in relation to impaired receivables.
Movement in the provision for impairment of receivables was:

Goodwill is monitored by management at the Company level for Precise Consulting and at the geographic branch level for
AAC.
The group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of a cash
generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions.
The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering a five-year period.
Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below. These growth
rates are consistent with forecasts included in industry reports specific to the industry in which each CGU operates.
The following table sets out the key assumptions for the value in use:
Assumption

AAC
Approach
Sales volume annual growth
2.5%
1%
Average annual growth rate over the five-year forecast period
based on management’s expectations of market development.

Fixed costs of the Company, which do not vary significantly with
sales volumes or prices. Management forecasts these costs
based on the current structure of the business, adjusting for
inflationary increases but not reflecting any future restructurings
or cost saving measures.
The amounts disclosed are the average operating costs for the
five-year forecast period.
Expected capital cash costs based on the historical experience
of management, and the planned refurbishment expenditure.
No incremental revenue or cost savings are assumed in the
value-in-use model as a result of this expenditure.
This is the weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate
cash flows beyond the budget period.
The rates are consistent with forecasts included in industry
reports.
Reflects specific risks relating to the relevant segments and the
countries in which they operate.
In performing the value-in-use calculations for each CGU, the
group has applied post-tax discount rates to discount the
forecast future attributable post-tax cash flows.
There is sufficient headroom in the value in use calculation such that in management’s opinion a reasonably possible
change in a key assumption on which management has based its determination of the cash generating unit’s recoverable
amount would not cause the cash generating unit’s carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

Precise Consulting Earn-out Provision
On 1 April 2015, HRL acquired 100% of the issued capital of Precise Consulting and Laboratory Limited (Precise
Consulting). The agreed purchase consideration was:
initial payment of NZD$5,000,000 cash; and
earn-out consideration of up to NZD$2,500,000.
The amount of earn out consideration is based on Precise Consulting’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the
year 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015:
EBIT (NZD)
Earn Out Consideration (NZD)
Less than $1.9 million

More than $2.5 million
$700,000
$1,300,000
$1,900,000
$2,500,000
Precise Consulting exceed an EBIT of $1,900,000 NZD for the 12 months ended 31 March 2015, resulting in an earn-out
of $700,000 NZD.
As at 30 June 2015, Mr Andre Halkyard had performed 3 months of the 36 month service period (8.33%). Accordingly an
amount of $51,650 (being 8.33% of $700,000 NZD [$51,650 AUD]) was recognised in profit or loss.
Payment of the earn-out consideration was contingent on Mr Halkyard’s ongoing service for a minimum period of three
years after acquisition, with any earn-out consideration reduced proportionately by the length of time not employed. Mr
Halkyard resigned from the General Manager position of Precise on 31 March 2016. Accordingly the total earn-out was
reduced to $233,333 NZD. This amount was settled during the 2016 year.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Consolidated Entity's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks and accounts receivable and payable.
The main risk arising from the financial instruments is credit risk and foreign exchange risk.
The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and,
whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for day to day management of these risks to
the Chief Finance Officer. The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible
without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility. Further details regarding these policies are set out
below:
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that the other party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge their obligation resulting in the
Consolidated Entity incurring a financial loss. This usually occurs when debtors fail to settle their obligations owing to the
Consolidated Entity. It arises from exposure to customers as well as through deposits with financial institutions.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised
financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance
sheet and notes to the financial statements. There is no collateral held as security at 30 June 2016. Credit risk is reviewed
regularly by the Board.
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single counterparty, except for its holdings of cash which
is held with the Westpac Bank.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties raising funds to meet financial obligations as they fall
due. Liquidity risk is reviewed regularly by the Board.
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate cash resources are
maintained. Refer to Note 18 for the Group’s financing facilities available at balance date.
Remaining contractual maturities
The tables below reflects the contractual maturity of fixed and floating rate financial liabilities. Cash flows for financial
liabilities without fixed amount or timing are based on the conditions existing at period end. The amounts disclosed
represent undiscounted cash flows. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows and therefore the totals
may differ from their carrying amount in the balance sheet.

Market risk arises from the use of interest bearing, tradeable and foreign currency financial instruments. It is the risk that
the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates (interest rate
risk), foreign exchange rates (currency risk) or other market factors (other price risk).
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is managed by constant monitoring of interest rates.
Interest rates over the 12 month period were analysed and a sensitivity determined to show the effect on profit and equity
after tax if the interest rates at reporting date had been 100 basis points higher or lower, with all other variables held
constant. This level of sensitivity was considered reasonable given the current level of both short-term and long-term
Australian and New Zealand interest rates. The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposures
in existence at the balance sheet date.
All interest bearing liabilities have fixed interest rates so the sensitivity analysis has no impact.
All cash assets have floating interest rates. At 30 June, if interest rates had moved, as illustrated in the table below, with
all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity would have been affected as follows:
Impact on profit and equity
+1.00% (100 basis points)

currency in which they are reported. At 30 June, the Group had the following exposure to foreign currency, shown in

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to
sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares and retained earnings of the Group. The
Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as considers the potential of future dividends to ordinary
shareholders. The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels
of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
As part of complying with its borrowing covenants, the Group has an externally imposed requirement to maintain a Gearing
Ratio of less than 65% at June 2015 and 60% at June 2016. Gearing ratio is defined as: Total liabilities divided by total
tangible assets (including goodwill and other acquisition based intangibles). The actual gearing ratio at 30 June 2016 was
29%.
Fair Values
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying value. No financial assets or liabilities are
readily traded on organised markets in standardised form.

The Group has certain obligations to expend minimum amounts on exploration in tenement areas. Failure to meet these
obligations may result in the Group having to relinquish these tenements. It is HRL’s intention to not focus any further
resources on its geothermal assets until it is satisfied that the projects can be commercially viable.
The Group has previously impaired the value of these tenement areas to $Nil in prior periods with all subsequent costs
immediately expensed through the statement of comprehensive income.
NOTE 26
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Consolidated Entity has arranged bank guarantees of $30,000 to the Victorian Government as security over the
granted geothermal tenement. No liability has been recognised by the Group as bank deposits totalling $30,000 are in
place to satisfy any obligation to the bank. Upon relinquishment of the tenements, the Victorian Government will release
the security.

SEGMENT REPORTING
Reportable Segments
For the period ended 30 June 2016 the Group has identified the operating segments based on internal reports that are

OCTIEF branded operations
Precise Consulting branded operations
Change to reportable segments
For the year ended 30 June 2015 and the prior comparative period the Group identified the operating segments based on
internal reports that were reviewed and used by the executive team in assessing performance and determining the
allocation of resources. The internal reports and operating segments were based on geographical locations (Australia and
New Zealand) for the year ended 30 June 2016.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the members of HRL Holdings Limited
Report on the Financial Report
We have audited the accompanying financial report of HRL Holdings Limited, which comprises the
consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2016, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the
entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101
Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with
relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company’s
preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
