Annual
Report
During the financial year 2021, Korvest Ltd has been celebrating a significant milestone: fifty years of manufacturing
in Australia, supplying to projects throughout Australia.
Our story began in September 1970, when Kia Ora Investments Limited was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
At that time, the company consisted of a handful of employees working from a sole location on Greenhill Road in
South Australia, offering a variety of products and services. Three years later, the company was transformed when
it purchased a busy and thriving galvanising business at Beverley. Eglinton's Galvanising Works became Korvest
Galvanisers and the steady stream of customer trucks visiting Korvest to drop off or pick up urgent requirements
continues to this day.
In 1983, a new galvanising facility was installed at our current head office location in Kilburn, South Australia,
featuring (at the time) the longest galvanising kettle in the country. Four years later, in 1987, Korvest purchased
EzyStrut Cable and Pipe Supports, and moved that business to the same site, where both EzyStrut and Korvest
Galvanisers still remain in 2021, proudly manufacturing in Australia and stocking branches in all state capital cities.
Korvest Ltd continues to grow, continues to innovate and continues to employ hundreds of Australians in the
manufacturing industry. We're fifty years old, but our story is only just beginning.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
The revenue from trading activities for the year ended 30 June 2021 (FY21) was $69.786m, up 10.6% on the previous year. This improvement
was due to a significant increase in activity in the second half of the year after the first half revenue was 9.7% down on the prior year. As a result
of trading conditions in May 2020, compared to May 2019, the Group qualified for the Government JobKeeper subsidy for the period from May
to September 2020 with $1.864m of income from this subsidy included in the FY21 result following on from the $1.059m that was included in the
FY20 result. More details on the impact and response to COVID-19 are provided in the review of operations on page 6. The Group recorded a
profit after tax of $6.054m compared to $4.027m in the previous year.
DIVIDENDS
The directors announced a fully franked final dividend of 20.0 cents per share (2020: 13.0 cents per share) following an interim dividend of 15.0
cents per share at the half year (2020: 15.0 cents per share). The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will remain suspended for the final dividend.
The dividend will be paid on 3 September 2021 with a record date of 20 August 2021.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES, STRATEGY AND FUTURE PERFORMANCE
The principal activities of the Group consist of hot dip galvanising, sheet metal fabrication, manufacture of cable and pipe support systems and
fittings, design and assembly of access systems for large mobile equipment and sale, repair and rental of high torque tools.
The Group is comprised of the Industrial Products Group which includes the EzyStrut, Power Step and Titan Technologies businesses and the
Production Group which includes the Korvest Galvanisers business.
Korvest’s businesses service a number of major markets including infrastructure, commercial, utilities, mining, food processing, oil and gas, power
stations, health and industrial segments.
Demand from the infrastructure sector has been increasing over recent years and this continued throughout FY21. Road and rail tunnels, primarily
on the East Coast, is where the bulk of the infrastructure activity is occurring. One major project was supplied through FY21 and will continue
into FY22. Late in the year, supply commenced on two further major infrastructure projects which will continue during FY22. As a result of the
unprecedented levels of large project work, coupled with a buoyant general market, Korvest enters FY22 with record levels of work on hand.
To ensure that Korvest is able to supply the significant market opportunities over the forthcoming years, investment will continue to be focussed on
improvements to factory capacity and capability. This will build on a range of productivity initiatives that have been undertaken over recent years.
Korvest has a long history of paying franked dividends. The target dividend payout ratio range is 65-90% of after tax profits.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
COVID-19
During FY21 COVID-19 became very much part of normal business operations. Lockdown conditions were experienced at different times in most
jurisdictions with the Victorian operation suffering the greatest impact due to the extended restrictions endured in that state. Fortunately, as the
construction industry was able to operate during lockdowns, demand from Korvest’s customer base was not impacted and branches were able
to trade, albeit with restrictions on the number of staff on site.
The South Australian operations, including the factory and galvanising plant, were forced to close for a period of two days during November.
Thankfully, the closure was short lived and when production was able to re-start the lost production time was quickly recovered.
On the supply side, global freight issues caused concern with substantial increases in the cost of international sea freight and a lack of available
shipping slots. To mitigate these risks, along with the risk of future supply chain disruption, stockholdings of imported items were increased.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
In the Industrial Products segment, the EzyStrut cable and pipe support business supplies products for major infrastructure developments and also
supplies products to electrical wholesalers and contractors for small industrial developments.
EzyStrut traded strongly throughout the year with activity levels high in the major projects, the smaller projects and national wholesaler market
segments. One major infrastructure project was supplied through the entire year and in the fourth quarter two further large projects were
commenced. In the smaller project and wholesaler segment, activity levels increased as the year progressed, with May and June providing the
highest turnover months of the year. Significant raw material price rises were experienced during the second half and further increases have been
advised into the first half of FY22. As a result, EzyStrut advised customers of price rises effective from 1 April 2021 and another will be effective
from 1 August 2021.
The Power Step and Titan Technologies businesses experienced marginally reduced revenue in FY21 however were able to maintain the margin
improvement achieved in FY20 and as a result only a modest reduction in profit was experienced.
PRODUCTION
In the Production segment, the Galvanising business volumes grew with increases from both external and internal customers. External customer
volumes were higher in both the main plant and the spin plant due to an increase in work from SA based fabricators. The Gawler rail electrification
project was supplied over the course of the year, however, there was a pause in activity for a number of months due to a change of steel fabricator
on the project. Internal volumes grew in line with the improvement in the EzyStrut business as most of the EzyStrut growth was in galvanised
products. Zinc pricing increased during FY21 to end the year 25% higher than it started and this was passed onto customers through price rises.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021 RISK
The Board and Management periodically review and update an Enterprise Risk Register that identifies and assesses the risks faced by the business
and the controls that are in place to mitigate those risks. General Managers report to the board monthly and this will encompass any changes to the
risk profile of their business unit.
During the year Korvest engaged an external risk consultant to review the Company’s risk processes and the risk register. This external engagement
led to further refinement of the Company’s risk management practices.
Operational risks relate principally to continuity of supply and continuity of production. To ensure continuity of supply Korvest monitors the performance
of key suppliers and establishes more than one supply source for key products. For many purchased finished goods the ability for the product to also
be manufactured in-house mitigates the risk.
Financial risks faced by the business are typical of those faced by most businesses and centre around management of working capital. In particular,
trade receivables and inventory levels are constantly reviewed and performance is monitored with key performance indicators on an ongoing basis.
Strategic risks cover a range of areas including competitors, customers and products together with global and local market developments.
Korvest is committed to minimising its impact on the environment and over recent years has undertaken a number of projects to reduce energy
consumption and emissions. During FY21 a 270kW solar system was installed at the Kilburn site. This is the third system installed at Kilburn and
brings the capacity to 443kW.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
In the opinion of the directors there were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial year under review.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Other than the dividend declared after the reporting date, at the date of this report there is no matter or circumstance that has arisen since 30 June
2021, that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect:
(i)
the operations of the Group;
(ii)
the results of those operations; or
(iii) the state of affairs of the Group;
in the financial years subsequent to 30 June 2021.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
Korvest will continue to invest in improving the capacity and capability of the production facilities to ensure that the significant quantity of available
work is able to be serviced.
Working capital management remains a focus area. Collection of accounts receivables is always closely monitored and the performance in this area
has been particularly pleasing over the past year. The levels of inventory are actively managed to minimise slow moving stock whilst ensuring that
sufficient inventory is held to satisfy customer requirements. During FY21 the uncertainty around supply chains as a result of COVID-19 has meant
that higher levels of stock have been held for some items.
Further information about likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has
not been included in this report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF OFFICER AND AUDITORS
Since the end of the previous financial year the Company has paid insurance premiums in respect of directors’ and officers’ liability and legal
expenses insurance contracts, for current and former directors and officers of the Company and related entities. The insurance premiums relate to:
a) costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and whatever their outcome; and
b) other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or improper use of information
or position to gain a personal advantage.
The premiums were paid in respect of all of the directors and officers of the Company. The directors have not included details of the nature of the
liabilities covered or the amount of the premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts, as such
disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contract.
Korvest Ltd has not, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of Korvest Ltd against a liability incurred as
auditor.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021 REMUNERATION REPORT AUDITED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
PRINCIPLES OF COMPENSATION
Remuneration is referred to as compensation throughout this report.
Key Management Personnel (KMP) have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, including
directors of the Company and other executives. KMP comprise the directors and senior executives of the Group.
Compensation levels for KMP are competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified and experienced directors and executives.
The compensation structures explained below are designed to attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement of strategic objectives,
and achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for shareholders. The compensation structures take into account:
(a) the capability and experience of the executive;
(b) the executive’s ability to control performance; and
(c) the Group’s performance including the Group’s earnings.
FIXED COMPENSATION
Fixed compensation consists of base compensation (which is calculated on a total cost basis), as well as employer contributions to superannuation
funds.
Compensation levels are reviewed annually by the remuneration committee.
PERFORMANCE LINKED COMPENSATION
Performance linked compensation includes both short-term and long-term incentives, and is designed to reward executives for meeting or
exceeding their financial and personal objectives. The short-term incentive (STI) is an ‘at risk’ cash bonus, while the long-term incentive (LTI) is
provided as performance rights under the rules of the Korvest Performance Rights Plan.
CONSEQUENCES OF PERFORMANCE ON SHAREHOLDER WEALTH
In considering the Group’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the remuneration committee have regard to the indices set out below.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE BONUS
The key performance indicators (KPIs) for the executives are set annually. The KPIs include measures relating to financial and operating performance,
strategy implementation and risk management.
The KPIs are chosen to directly align the individual’s reward to the KPIs of the Group and to its strategy and performance. The non-financial
objectives vary with position and responsibility and include measures aimed at achieving strategic outcomes. The financial objectives relate to
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for various parts of the business depending on the executive.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 30 June 2021 The table below summarises the nature and weighting of the KPIs included in the STIs.

* Each executive has different KPIs and weightings. Some individual’s STI structures do not include all KPI categories listed.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE BONUS
Performance rights are issued under the Korvest Performance Rights Plan to employees (including KMP) as determined by the remuneration
committee.
Performance rights become vested performance rights if the Group achieves its performance hurdles. If rights become vested performance rights
and do not lapse, the holder is able to acquire ordinary shares in the Company for no cash payment. For performance rights issued during the year
two performance hurdles were applied. Half of the rights issued will be tested against each of the two performance hurdles.
The first performance hurdle relates to growth in basic earnings per share (EPS). EPS performance is measured in total over a three year period.
The performance hurdle is tested once at the completion of the three year performance period. To determine the aggregate EPS performance
required over the performance period, a % growth is applied to a base EPS. For the most recent issue of Performance Rights, the base EPS is
equal to the statutory EPS for the FY20 year. The table below sets out the % of rights that vest depending on the aggregate level of EPS achieved
over the performance period.
Aggregate EPS over performance period (3 years to 30 June 2023) % of rights that vest

Between 118.504 and 135.301 cents
135.301 cents or greater
Nil
25%
Pro rata between 25% – 100%
100%
The EPS objective was chosen because it is a good indicator of the Group’s earnings growth and is aligned to shareholder wealth objectives.
The second performance hurdle relates to Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). The ROIC performance hurdle measures the efficiency in allocating
capital to generate profitable returns The ROIC is calculated as follows:
ROIC =
Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT)
Total Invested Capital (TIC)
Where
• NOPAT is the average of the net operating profit after tax over the three years of the vesting period
• TIC is the average of the Group’s invested capital, calculated as follows: (current assets – current liabilities – cash and investments) +
(property, plant and equipment + goodwill + intangibles). The average TIC will be the average of the balances as at 30 June and 31
December during the vesting period.
The ROIC performance rights issued during FY 21 will vest in accordance with the table below:
Average 3 year ROIC
Less than 6%
6%
Above 6% and below 9%
9% or greater
% of rights that vest
Nil
50%
Between 50% and 100% using a straight line analysis

In addition to the performance measures, there is also a service condition whereby unvested performance rights will lapse if the holder ceases
employment with the Group apart from in some specific circumstances such as death or permanent disability.
The Company’s securities trading policy prohibits those that are granted share-based payments as part of their remuneration from entering into
other arrangements that limit their exposure to losses that would result from share price decreases. Entering into such arrangements has been
prohibited by law since 1 July 2011.

Half of the performance rights issued to each KMP will be tested against an EPS hurdle with the other half being tested against a Return on
Invested Capital (ROIC) hurdle. The fair value of each right is $3.92.
All performance rights have a nil exercise price.
All performance rights expire on the earlier of their expiry date or termination of the individual’s employment. The performance rights are exercisable
for one year after the conclusion of the vesting period. In addition to the continuing employment service condition, the ability to exercise
performance rights is conditional on the Group achieving performance hurdles. Details of the performance criteria are included in the long-term
incentives discussion on page 9.
No equity-settled share-based payment transaction terms (including performance rights granted as compensation to KMP) have been altered or
modified by the Group during the reporting period or the prior period.
EXERCISE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS GRANTED AS COMPENSATION
During or since the end of the financial year, the Group issued ordinary shares of the Company as a result of the exercise of performance rights as
follows (there are no amounts unpaid on the shares issued):

* The three year performance period for performance rights issued in October 2018 ended on 30 June 2021. These rights were tested against
two performance hurdles, earnings per share (EPS) and relative total shareholder return (RTSR). Korvest’s aggregate EPS was 115.2 over the
performance period. This results in 97.7% of the EPS performance rights vesting.
TSR is a ranking of the Company’s total shareholder return, which is calculated as the growth in share price plus dividends and any capital returns
to shareholders to produce the total return to shareholders expressed as a percentage. This is then compared to the performance of a comparator
group of companies to derive the RTSR. Korvest’s total shareholder return over the performance period was 175.8% which was at the 95th
percentile of the comparator group. As a result, 100% of the RTSR performance rights will vest. The vested rights are able to be exercised up
until 30 June 2022.
ANALYSIS OF MOVEMENTS IN PERFORMANCE RIGHTS GRANTED AS COMPENSATION
The movement during the reporting period, by value, of performance rights over ordinary shares in the Company held by each company director
and KMP are detailed below.

(A) The value of performance rights granted in the year is the fair value of the options calculated at grant date using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing model. The total value of the options granted is included in the table above. This amount will be allocated to remuneration over
the vesting period (i.e. in years 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023) subject to meeting the associated performance conditions.
(B) The value of the performance rights exercised during the year is calculated as the market price of shares as at the close of trading on the
date the performance rights were exercised after deducting the price to exercise the option.
Further details regarding options granted to executives under the Executive Share Plan are in Note 10 to the financial statements.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the year KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. The Board has considered the
non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor and in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee,
is satisfied that the provision of these services did not compromise the auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the
following reasons:
• all non-audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group; and
•
the non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code
of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or
decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risk and rewards.
For details of non-audit services fees charged refer to Note 5 to the financial statements.
LEAD AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 55 and forms part of the Directors’ report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021.
ROUNDING OFF
The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with
that Instrument, amounts in the Financial report and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise
stated.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company’s Corporate Governance Statement can be found on the Korvest website at

* From 2020 onwards the application of AASB 16 Leases has affected the calculation of NTA per ordinary share as the lease liability forms part
of the calculation however the right-of-use asset does not. As a result the calculated NTA is lower than would have been the case prior to the
introduction of AASB 16.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIS OF PREPARATION
CORPORATE INFORMATION
Korvest Ltd (the ‘Company’) is a company domiciled in Australia. The address of the Company’s registered office is 580 Prospect Road, Kilburn
SA 5084. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’ and individually as ‘Group entities’). The Group is a for-profit entity and is primarily involved in
manufacturing businesses as detailed in the Segment Reporting (Note 6).
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. The consolidated financial
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 22 July 2021.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings, which are measured at fair
value.
Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing these consolidated financial statements management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of Group’s
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial
year are included in the following notes:
• Note 7 – Trade and other receivables
• Note 8 – Inventories
• Note 11 – Provisions
• Note 12 – Property, plant and equipment
• Note 14 – Leases
ROUNDING
The Group is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and in accordance with that
Instrument, amounts in the consolidated financial statements and directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless
otherwise stated.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Group at exchange rates at the dates of transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting
date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the
exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a
foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.
STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2021 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group
has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements and they are not expected to have a
material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
This section focuses on the Group’s performance. Disclosures in this section include analysis of the Group’s profit before tax by reference to the
activities performed by the Group and analysis of key revenues and operating costs, segmental information, net finance costs and earnings per
share.
Underlying earnings before interest and tax (“EBIT”) and before exceptional items remain the Group’s key profit indicator. This reflects how the
business is managed and how the Directors assess the performance of the Group.
1. REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Sale of goods and services
Revenue from the sale of goods in the ordinary course of business is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable,
net of returns, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue from sale of goods (industrial products) is recognised when the customer
gains control of the goods which is usually when the goods are delivered to the customer or picked up from the Group’s premises. Revenue
from galvanising services is recognised at the point the services are provided which, given the short term nature of the process, is when the
customers’ product has been galvanised. The Group’s standard trading terms are 30 days end of month.
Good and services tax
Revenue is recognised net of goods and services tax (GST).
Sales revenue
Sale of goods and services
Disaggregation of revenue is presented in Note 6 Segment Reporting.

method.
26
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company 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 of the Company 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, which comprise share options granted to employees.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic earnings per share at 30 June 2021 was based on the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of $6,053,841
(2020: $4,026,958) and a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 of 11,309,777
(2020: 11,238,716).
The calculation of diluted earnings per share at 30 June 2021 was based on the net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of $6,053,841
(2020: $4,026,958) and a weighted average number of potential ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 of
11,487,557 (2020: 11,330,387).

6. SEGMENT REPORTING
Segment results that are reported to the Group’s Managing Director (the chief operating decision maker) include items directly attributable to
a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office
expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Group has two reportable segments. The business is organised based on products and services. The following summary describes the
operations in each of the Company’s reportable segments.
Industrial Products
Industrial Products segment includes the manufacture of electrical and cable support systems, steel fabrication and access systems. It also
includes the sale, hire and repair of high torque tools. It includes the businesses trading under the EzyStrut, Power Step and Titan Technologies
names.
Production
Production segment represents the Korvest Galvanising business, which provides hot dip galvanising services.
Both reportable segments consist of the aggregation of a number of operating segments in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments.
GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS
The Group predominantly operates in Australia.
CUSTOMERS
Revenue from one customer of the Group’s Industrial Products segment represented $10,114,000 (2020: nil) of the Group’s total revenues.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included below in the manner reported to the chief operating decision maker
as defined in AASB 8. Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax (PBT). Inter-segment transactions are not recorded as
revenue. Instead a cost allocation relating to the transactions is made based on negotiated rates.

WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital represents the assets and liabilities the Group generates through its trading activity. The Group therefore defines working capital
as inventory, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and provisions.
Careful management of working capital ensures that the Group can meet its trading and financing obligations within its ordinary operating cycle.
This section provides further information regarding working capital management and analysis of the elements of working capital.
7. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are non-derivative financial instruments that are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
The fair values of trade and other receivables are estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest
at the measurement date. Short-term receivables with no stated interest rate are measured at the original invoice amount if the effect of
discounting is immaterial. Fair value is determined at initial recognition and, for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date.
Goods and services tax
Trade receivables are recognised inclusive of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) which is payable to taxation authorities. The net
amount of GST payable to the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

Impairment
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) of trade receivables. Loss rates are calculated using a “roll
rate” method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write-off.
When determining the credit risk for trade receivables the Group uses quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the
Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
On 1 April 2020 the Group took out trade credit insurance. This gives rise to a reimbursement right for any expected credit loss that arises on
trade receivables. This reimbursement right is recognised at the same time as the expected credit loss provision is recognised.
COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on the ECL provision. This is because Korvest has not observed any material change in the
payment behaviour of customers and the aging of trade receivables since COVID-19. The introduction of credit insurance also reduces any
impact of COVID-19 should this occur in the future.
The Group sells to a variety of customers including wholesalers and end users and does not have a concentration of credit risk in any one
sector.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 8. INVENTORIES
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on average cost and includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production and conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing
location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production
overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and estimated
costs necessary to make the sale.
Non-financial assets such as inventories are recognised net of amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset.

Finished goods are shown net of an impairment provision amounting to $1,222,000 (2020: $1,396,000) arising from the likely inability to sell
a product range at or equal to the cost of inventory.
The impairment provision is calculated having regard for the quantity of stock on hand for each item in comparison to usage over the past
year. Where items have been on hand for more than twelve months and more than ten years of stock are held based on recent sales history,
then a provision is held for the entire stock value (net of scrap recoveries). Using the same measures, where more than five but less than ten
years of stock are on hand 20% of the value (net of scrap recoveries) is provided for.
9. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade and other accounts payable are non-derivative financial instruments measured at cost.
Trade payables are recognised inclusive of the amount of goods and services tax (GST) which is recoverable from taxation authorities. The net
amount of GST recoverable from the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Short-term benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be
paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
Long-term benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of long-term service benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their
service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is calculated using expected future increases in wage and salary rates, including related
on-costs and expected settlement dates, and is discounted using the rates attached to high quality corporate bonds at the reporting date which
have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Company’s obligations.

Accrued wages and salaries are included in accrued expenses in note 9.
Defined contribution superannuation funds
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will
have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation funds are
recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees. Prepaid
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
Share based payments
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding
increase in equity over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognised as an expense
is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met,
such that the amount ultimately recognised as an expense is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market
performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the
share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
The fair value of the performance rights with only non-market performance conditions is measured using the Black-Scholes formula.
Measurement inputs include share price on measurement date, exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted
average historic volatility of the Company’s share prices, adjusted for changes expected due to publicly available information), weighted
average expected life of the instruments, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and non-
market performance conditions attached to the transactions are not taken into account in determining fair value.
The fair value of performance rights with market related performance conditions is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Employee Share Bonus Plan
The Employee Share Bonus Plan allows Group employees to receive shares of the Company. Shares are allotted to employees who
have served a qualifying period. Up to $1,000 per year in shares is allotted to each qualifying employee. The fair value of shares issued is
recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of the shares granted is measured using a present
value method.
Executive Share Plan
The Executive Share Plan and the Performance Rights Plan allow Group employees to receive shares of the Company. The fair value of
options or rights granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant
date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options/right.
Executive Share Plan (ESP) – discontinued
In March 2005, the Group established a share option plan that entitled selected senior executives to acquire shares in the entity subject to
the successful achievement of performance targets related to improvements in total shareholder returns over a two-year option period. The
plan was discontinued in 2010 with no new issues made under the plan since that time. The plan remains in operation for those employees
granted options under that plan prior to 2010.
32
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 The options were exercisable if the total shareholder return (measured as share price growth plus dividends paid) over a two-year period
from the grant date exceeded ten per cent plus CPI per annum. The shares issued pursuant to these options are financed by an interest
free loan from the Company repayable within twenty years from the proceeds of dividends declared by the Company. These loans are of a
non-recourse nature. For accounting purposes these 20-year loans are treated as part of the options to purchase shares, until the loan is
extinguished at which point the shares are recognised.
The options were offered only to selected senior executives.
Korvest Performance Rights Plan (KPRP)
In August 2011 the Company established a performance rights plan to replace the ESP. In November 2011 the first performance rights
were granted under the plan and further issues have been granted annually since. The plan is designed to provide long term incentives
to eligible senior employees of the Group and entitles them to acquire shares in the Company, subject to the successful achievement of
performance hurdles. For each issue two performance hurdles are applied. The 2018 issue used Earnings per Share (EPS) and Relative
Total Shareholder Return (RTSR). The 2019 and 2020 issues used EPS and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).
Under the plan, eligible employees are offered Performance Rights, which enables the employee to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in
the Company for no monetary consideration, once the Performance Rights vest. The conditions attached to the Performance Rights are
measured over the three year period commencing at the beginning of the financial year in which the Performance Rights are granted. If the
performance conditions at the end of the three year period are met, in whole or in part, all or the relevant percentage of the Performance
Rights will vest.

11. PROVISIONS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably,
and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting
risk adjusted future expected cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money. The unwinding of the discount is
recognised as a finance cost.
Warranties
A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data
and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities. Power Step assemblies are sold with a warranty period of
12 months from installation date or 18 months from invoice date, whichever occurs first. The provision is based on estimates made from
historical warranty data associated with similar products. The entire warranty provision has been treated as current.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 Site restoration and safety
A provision of $492,000 (2020: $520,000) is held in respect of the Company’s obligation to rectify potential environmental damage at the main
site premises in Kilburn. The provision is reassessed annually and is based on an estimate of the cost to rectify the site. It has been assumed
that the rectification would occur in 15 years (2020: 15 years). Provisions are determined by discounting risk adjusted future expected cash
flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money. A discount rate of 3.29% (2020: 2.8%) and an inflation rate of 2.0%
(2020: 2.0%) have been used for the calculation at 30 June 2021.

TANGIBLE ASSETS
The following section shows the physical tangible assets used by the Group to operate the business, generating revenues and profits.
This section explains the accounting policies applied and specific judgments and estimates made by the Directors in arriving at the net book value
of these assets.
Depreciation
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally
constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the carrying value of property, plant and equipment less the estimated residual values using the straight-
line basis over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is generally recognised in profit or loss, unless the amount is included in the carrying
amount of another asset. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain
that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
• Buildings
• Plant and equipment
25 years
3-12 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
12. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recognition and measurement
Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Land and
buildings are measured at fair value.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the following:
•
•
The cost of materials and direct labour;
Any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use;
• When the Group has an obligation to remove the assets or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the
items and restoring the site on which they are located; and
•
Capitalised borrowing costs.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components)
of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal
and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
12. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
Fair value measurement
The fair value of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is the estimated amount for which a property
could be exchanged on the date of acquisition between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing
wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably.
The fair value of items of plant, equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the market approach and cost approaches using quoted
market prices for similar items when available and depreciated replacement cost when appropriate. Depreciated replacement cost reflects
adjustments for physical deterioration as well as functional and economic obsolescence.
Land and buildings are valued by an independent valuer every three years. In the intervening years between independent valuations the
directors make an assessment of the value of the land and buildings having regard for the most recent independent valuation.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to
the Group. On-going repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY OF LAND AND BUILDINGS
At least every three years the directors obtain an independent valuation to support the fair value of Land and Buildings. This valuation is
used by the directors as a guide in determining the directors’ valuation for the Land and Buildings. An independent valuation of Land and
Buildings was carried out in April 2020 by Mr Mark Klenke, AAPI MRICS of AON Valuation Services on the basis of the open market value of
the properties concerned in their highest and best use and was used as a reference for the directors’ valuation as at 30 June 2021.
The carrying amount of the Land and Buildings at cost at 30 June 2021 if not revalued would be $928,000 (2020: $983,000).
VALUATION TECHNIQUE AND SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of Land and Buildings, as well as the significant unobservable
inputs used. The valuation of land and buildings is based on Level 3 fair values.
SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE
INPUTS
Market yield - 8.0%
Potential rental rate - $55/m2
Land value for vacant land - $177/m2
INTER-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KEY
UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The estimated market value would
increase if:
• Market yield was lower
•
•
Potential rental rate was higher
Land value was higher
VALUATION TECHNIQUE
Capitalised income approach: the valuation
model applies a yield to the property’s value
to assess its value less any required capital
expenditure. The yield applied to the potential
rental return from the property is based on
recent sales and has been calculated by
dividing the estimated rental return from
comparable sales to derive a fair market sales
price. Capitalised value has been increased by
the value of vacant land as the property has
below average site coverage indicating further
capacity for development.
13. IMPAIRMENT TESTING
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The carrying amounts of the Group’s tangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying
amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For impairment testing assets are grouped together into the smallest
group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated to reduce the carrying
amount of the assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
Any impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets’
carrying amounts do not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment
loss had been recognised.
RESULTS
The Group has determined that calculation of the recoverable amount of assets or CGUs is not required as at 30 June 2021 as there were
no impairment indicators.

LEASES
14. LEASES
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. This policy is applied to contracts
entered into on or after 1 July 2019.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured
at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date,
plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or the site on which it is located,
less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.
The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by any impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. The Group
determines its incremental borrowing rate by seeking from its bankers, indicative interest rates for the type of asset being leased.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
•
•
fixed payments; and
variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future
lease payments arising from a change in index or rate. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is
made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been
reduced to zero.
Leases as a lessee
The group leases warehouse facilities and forklifts. Warehouse leases are generally for periods ranging from 3 to 10 years with options to
renew the lease after that date. Warehouse leases provide for annual rent reviews based on CPI or market rents. For warehouse leases it is
assumed to be reasonably certain that all options will be exercised. Forklifts leases are for 5 years with no renewal option.
Information about leases for which the Group is a lessee is presented below.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
This section outlines how the Group manages its capital structure, including its balance sheet liquidity and access to capital markets.
The directors determine the appropriate capital structure of the Group, specifically how much is realised from shareholders and how much is
borrowed from the financial institutions to finance the Group’s activities now and in the future.
15. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments.
Investments and term deposits comprise deposits with maturities greater than three months at balance date.
Cash flows are included in the Statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and
financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets
and liabilities.
The Group applies AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures
about fair value measurements when such measurements are required or permitted by other Accounting Standards. It unifies the definition of
fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. It replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other Accounting Standards.
As a result, the Group has applied additional disclosures in this regard within Notes 7 and 9.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised
into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
•
•
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or
indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
•
Level 3: inputs for asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Finance Director regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information is used to measure
fair values, the Finance Director assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet
the requirements of AASB 13, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
40
FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 30 June 2021
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The Finance Director has overall responsibility
for all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.
Significant valuation issues are required to be reported to the Audit Committee.
If inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value
measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire
measurement.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has
occurred.
Financial assets and liabilities
All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised at the fair value of consideration paid or received, net of transaction costs as appropriate,
and subsequently carried at fair value or amortised cost, as indicated in the table below.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments:
• credit risk;
•
liquidity risk; and
• market risk.
Risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and
to monitor risks and adherence to limits.
The board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework.
The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the risk management policies and procedures and reviews the
adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.
Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date
is summarised below:
Cash, cash equivalents and Investments
Trade and other receivables

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Trade and other receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also
considers the demographics of the Group’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate,
as these factors may have an influence on credit risk, particularly in the current deteriorating economic circumstances.
There is an established credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard
payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings and trade references when applicable
and available. Purchase limits are established for each customer, which represent the maximum open amount without requiring further
approval. These limits are subject to on-going review. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact
with the Group only on a prepayment basis.
Goods are sold subject to retention of title clauses, so that in the event of non-payment the Group may have a secured claim. The Group
otherwise does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.
On 1 April 2020 the Group took out trade credit insurance to reduce the Group’s credit risk exposure.
The Group uses an expected credit loss (ECL) model to measure the allowance for losses. The Group uses quantitative and qualitative
information based on the Group’s historical experience, informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables at the end of the reporting period by geographic region was as follows:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled
by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always
have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or
risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group monitors the level of expected cash inflows on trade and other receivables together with expected cash outflows on trade and
other payables.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk
exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the Australian dollar (AUD). The
currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are US dollars (USD) and Thai Baht (THB).
Exposure to currency risk
The Group did not have any material exposure to foreign currency risk and as a result movements in the Australian dollar against other
currencies will not have a material impact on the Group’s profit or equity.
Interest rate risk
The Group is not currently exposed in any material way to interest rate risk. The risk is limited to the re-pricing of short term deposits utilised
for surplus funds. Such deposits generally re-price approximately every 30 days.
Exposure to interest rate risk
Movements in interest rates will not have a material impact on the Group’s profit or equity.
Other market price risk
The Group has no material financial instrument exposure to other market price risk as it is not exposed to either commodity price risk or equity
securities price risk. The Group does not enter into commodity contracts other than to meet the Group’s expected usage requirements.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s objectives when managing capital (net debt and equity) are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can
continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the
cost of capital.
During the year the Group was not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
The Group holds trade credit insurance to insure some of the risk associated with the collection of trade receivables.
ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATIONS AND FAIR VALUES
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are considered to be a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Asset revaluation reserve
The revaluation reserve relates to land and buildings measured at fair value in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards.
Profits reserve
The profits reserve represents current year and accumulated profits transferred to a reserve to preserve the characteristic as a profit. Such
profits are available to enable payment of franked dividends in the future.
Equity compensation reserve
The Equity compensation reserve represents the accumulated expense recognised for share-based payments granted by the Company to
date. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

2020
$’000

The above available amounts are based on the balance of the dividend franking account at year-end adjusted for:
(a) franking credits that will arise from the payment of the current tax liabilities;
(b) franking debits that will arise from the payment of dividends recognised as a liability at the year-end;
(c) franking credits that will arise from the receipt of dividends recognised as receivables by the tax consolidated group at the year-end; and
(d) franking credits that the entity may be prevented from distributing in subsequent years.
The ability to utilise the franking credits is dependent upon being able to declare dividends. The impact on the dividend franking account of
dividends proposed after the reporting date but not recognised as a liability is to reduce it by $972,000 (2020: reduce by $628,000).
TAXATION
This section outlines the tax accounting policies, current and deferred tax impacts, a reconciliation of profit before tax to the tax charge and the
movement in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The Group’s existing accounting policy for uncertain income tax treatments is consistent with the requirements of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income
Tax Treatments which became effective on 1 July 2019.
19. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates
to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax payable also includes any tax
liability arising from the declaration of dividends.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
•
temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss
temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the group is able
•
to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future
•
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to
taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and
assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable
that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
19. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES (continued)
Tax consolidation
The Company and the wholly owned Australian subsidiaries set out in Note 20 are part of a tax-consolidated group with Korvest Ltd as the
head entity. The implementation date of the tax consolidation system for the tax-consolidated group was 1 March 2013.
Current tax expense (income), deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax-
consolidated group are allocated to the Company and recognised using a ‘group allocation’ approach. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities are measured by reference to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet and their tax values
applying under tax consolidation.
Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses of a member of the tax consolidated group are
assumed by the head entity of the tax-consolidated group and are recognised as amounts payable (receivable) to other entities in the tax-
consolidated group in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement amounts. Any difference between these amounts is recognised by the
member of the tax consolidated group as an equity contribution from or distribution to the head entity.

Valuation of finished goods inventory ($8.199m)

The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included applying our understanding of the
Group’s business model in:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Assessing the Group’s policies for the valuation of finished
goods inventory against the requirements of the accounting
standards;
Critically evaluating the Group’s methodology to identify
finished goods that are slow moving or selling below cost;
Testing the Group’s finished goods inventory impairment
assessment at year-end, by:
-
-
Assessing the accuracy of the underlying finished
goods
inventory provision model by performing
computation checks;
Checking the accuracy of the expected time period to
sell inventory, by product, as a key input in the finished
goods inventory provision. We evaluated the expected
time period to sell inventory on hand using the sales /
usage quantities experienced in FY21. We checked a
sample of those sales quantities to sales invoices.
Comparing the unit cost of each finished good on hand from
the Group’s impairment assessment to the average sales
price for the year of these products, as a proxy for expected
recoverable amount. Where estimated metal scrap value is
used by the Group to estimate recoverable amount, we
compared Korvest’s calculation to externally published
product weights and the scrap customer’s quoted purchase
prices.
Challenging the Group’s assumptions, such as the provision
percentages by product category and aging, using our
understanding of the Group’s business and knowledge of
the market; and
Attending stocktakes in significant locations observing the
Group’s processes, which included identifying slow moving
and potentially obsolete finished goods inventory.
The valuation of EzyStrut finished
goods inventory is a key audit matter

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Korvest Ltd’s annual reporting which is
provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are responsible for the
Other Information.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the
Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In
doing so, we 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.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information,
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of
this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for:
•
•
•
preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;
implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true
and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
assessing the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the
going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate
the Group and Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report
Our objective is:
•
•
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 Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the
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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf.
