MAAS Group Holdings Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2020

The  directors  present  their  report,  together  with  the  financial  statements,  on  the  consolidated  entity  (referred  to  hereafter  as  the 
'consolidated entity') consisting of MAAS Group Holdings Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'legal parent entity') and the 
entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year ended 30 June 2020.

MAAS Group Holdings Limited (MGH) was incorporated on 18 April 2019 and converted to a public company on 23 August 2019. MGH 
was a shell company incorporated to complete a Merger Transaction and to be the new holding company for the merged group. 

The year ended 30 June 2020 represented the first full year of operations of the merged group due to the merger transaction completing 
on 30 June 2019. As a result, the comparative information for the year ended 30 June 2019 does not include the trading result of all of 
 the  entities  acquired  under  the  Merger  Transaction  (refer  below)  in  the  Statement  of  Financial  Performance  and  Statement  of  Cash 
Flows for that year.  Background as to the Merger Transaction and the accounting treatment is contained further in (a) and (b) below.

The following Merger Transactions occurred on 30 June 2019: 
(a) MGH acquired the shares of the entities listed below, referred to as the MGPL group, through the issue of shares in MGH:

- MAAS Group Pty Ltd and its controlled entities;
- MAAS Group Developments Pty Ltd;
- Regional Hardrock Pty Ltd;
- Regional Hardrock (Dubbo) Pty Ltd;
- Regional Hardrock Unit Trust; and
- Eykan Holdings Pty Ltd.

As a consequence of this transaction, the MGPL group became wholly owned subsidiaries of MGH.  These entities were under the 
common  control  of  shareholders’  Wesley  Maas  and  his  spouse,  Emma  Maas.  This  is  based  on  Wesley  and  Emma  Maas  being 
regarded as controlling each of the above entities, as a result of contractual arrangements, acting collectively in making relevant 
decisions  as  to  the  management  of  these  entities.  As  a  result  of  the  contractual  arrangements  they  had  the  collective  power  to 
govern the financial and operating policies of the above combining entities so as to obtain benefits from their activities. 

As a result of the Merger Transaction (the transaction), MAAS Group Pty Ltd (MGPL) became a 100% owned subsidiary of MGH. 
The  Directors  determined  that  the  transaction  did  not  represent  a  business  combination  as  defined  by  AASB  3  'Business 
combinations' since the transaction was considered to be a combination of entities under common control, hence outside the scope 
of  AASB  3.  As  there  is  no  specific  IFRS  requirements  on  the  treatment  of  such  transactions,  an  accounting  policy  for  the 
transaction was required to be determined.

The  “top-hatting”  of  the  existing  group  with  a  newly  incorporated  holding  company  (MGH)  and  the  consolidation  of  the  common 
controlled  entities  are  a  restructure  of  the  existing  business  operations  and  therefore  it  was  considered  that  the  continuation 
method of accounting (book value) was most appropriate.

MAAS  Group  Pty  Ltd  (MGPL)  was  the  holding  company  for  the  civil  and  hire  activities  prior  to  the  Merger  Transaction  and  has 
been identified as the ‘acquirer’ for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared 
as  a  continuation  of  the  consolidated  financials  of  MGPL  and  its  controlled  entities.  The  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2019 represents the results of MGPL and its 
controlled entities for the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

(b) MGH entered into agreements with the vendors of the entities listed below, and acquired all of the outstanding issued capital in the 

following entities:
- MAAS Homes Pty Ltd (formerly Nigel Bourke Construction Pty Ltd);
- Machinery Sales Pty Ltd (formerly Rookharp Pty Ltd);
- Large Industries Pty Ltd;
- EMS Plant & Equipment Pty Ltd;
- EMS Group Pty Ltd and its controlled entities;
- EMS International Pty Ltd; and
- Regional Crushing and Screening Pty Ltd.

All  entities  listed  in  (b)  above,  joined  the  consolidated  entity  on  30  June  2019  with  the  exception  of  Regional  Crushing  and 
Screening  Pty  Ltd  which  was  already  part  of  the  MGPL  group  (a  controlled  entity  of  MAAS  Group  Pty  Ltd)  as  described  in  (a) 
above.  MGPL  owned  51%  of  Regional  Crushing  and  Screening  Pty  Ltd.  The  remaining  49%  shareholding  was  acquired  by  the 
transaction referred to in (b) above. 

The other entities party to the Merger Transaction (not under common control) listed in (b) above, except for Regional Crushing 
and Screening Pty Ltd, are accounted for under AASB 3 as a business combination where applicable. As the merger transaction 
occurred on 30 June 2019, their results are not included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and 
statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2019. The statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 represents that of 
MGPL and its controlled entities and all the other entities party to the Merger Transaction as at that date.

The Merger Transaction was undertaken so as to facilitate the proposed listing of MGH on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Directors' report
30 June 2020

Underlying  Statutory  EBITDA  excludes  the  effects  of  significant  items  of  income  and  expenditure  which  may  have  an  impact  on  the 
quality of earnings because of isolated or non-recurring events. It also excludes bargain purchases from business combinations. Interest 
income  and  finance  costs  have  been  allocated  to  segments,  however  going  forward  this  type  of  activity  will  be  driven  by  a  central 
treasury function and will therefore not be allocated to segments. Refer to segment note 4 to the financial statements for further details of 
the consolidated entity’s results which have been broken down to 5 segments: (1) Real Estate; (2) Civil and Construction; (3) Tunnelling 
and Underground Services; (4) Construction Materials; and (5) Other.

The operations of the consolidated entity comprised equipment and machinery hire, civil construction, quarry operations and real estate 
sales for the entire year. The consolidated entity continued to invest across all operating segments of the business during the financial 
year either via business combination, asset acquisition or upgrade of existing plant and equipment.

The  consolidated  entity’s  operations  were  impacted  by  the  effects  of  the  global  pandemic  COVID-19. The  impacts  arose  due  to  initial 
domestic  and  global  government  health  responses  which  changed  workplace  practices,  impacted  global  supply  chains  and  caused  a 
decrease in consumer confidence. Although being exposed, like all businesses, to some initial impact, the impact of COVID-19 for the 
consolidated entity has not caused any long standing operational issues for the entity as business has returned to normal. A list of initial 
impacts included:
●

Changed  workplace  practices  to  ensure  operations  were  COVID-19  compliant  initially  impacted  productivity  on  some  sites.  
Productivity returned to normal levels as the new work practices became standard.
Initial slow down in residential property sales due to government enforced health measures including lockdown. Demand returned 
to greater than pre COVID-19 levels.
Reduced real estate development during the initial COVID-19 period to reflect market conditions.
Initial delays in land registration process due to change in work practices from government agencies.
Initial  delays  in  global  supply  chains  for  products  sourced  from  Italy  and  China  which  caused  some  production  delays  for 
manufacture of underground machinery in Vietnam.
Cross border travel restrictions.

Whilst there has been no material adverse impact on the financial performance of the consolidated entity from COVID-19, there is a risk 
that  any  future  economic  downturn  could  impact  the  consolidated  entity’s  products  and  services  offered,  customers,  supply  chain, 
staffing  and  geographical  regions  in  which  the  group  operates.  Accordingly  judgement  has  been  exercised  in  considering  the  impacts 
COVID-19 has had, or may have on the assets of the consolidated entity, in particular the inputs included in the value-in-use calculations 
supporting recoverability of goodwill and non-current assets.

As a result of business combinations and asset acquisitions, $69,248,969 of net assets were acquired which contributed to the 27.5% 
increase in the consolidated entity’s net assets from the prior year. Refer to note 40 to the financial statements for further details of the 
business combinations that occurred during the year.

The acquired businesses contributed revenues of $25,703,788 and net profit of $3,247,612 to the consolidated entity from the dates of 
their respective acquisitions to 30 June 2020.

Significant changes in the state of affairs
Significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial year were as follows.

The  company  issued  convertible  notes  for  $20  million  during  the  year  (see  note  22).  The  net  cash  received  from  the  issue  of  the 
convertible notes was used principally to acquire Jacon and Bitizay (see note 40), for working capital and for costs associated with the 
company's proposed IPO.

In July 2019, the new underground equipment manufacturing facility of VMS was opened in Vietnam.

On  7  August  2019,  MAAS  Group  Pty  Ltd  (MGPL)  acquired  100%  of  the  ordinary  shares  in  Millers  Metals  Forbes  Pty  Ltd  and  the

its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  Regional  Hardrock  (West  Wyalong)  Pty  Ltd  and  Regional  Hardrock  (Forbes)  Pty  Ltd  respectively 
(collectively referred to as "Millers Metals") for a total consideration of $33,510,772 (refer note 40).

The company became an unlisted public company on 22 August 2019, having previously been a proprietary company.

On 30 August 2019, MAAS Group Developments Pty Ltd (MGD) executed and completed a share purchase agreement with Rutherford

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

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

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

The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board have considered that it should seek to 
enhance shareholders' interests by:
●
●

having economic profit as a core component of plan design
focusing on sustained growth in shareholder wealth, consisting of dividends and growth in share price, and delivering constant or 
increasing return on assets as well as focusing the executive on key non-financial drivers of value
attracting and retaining high calibre executives

●

Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
●
●
●

rewarding capability and experience
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth
providing a clear structure for earning rewards

Non-executive directors remuneration
The company did not have any non-executive directors during the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

Executive remuneration
The consolidated entity aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which 
has both fixed and variable components.

The executive remuneration and reward framework has two components:
●
●

base pay and non-monetary benefits
other remuneration such as superannuation and long service leave

The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.

Fixed  remuneration,  consisting  of  base  salary,  superannuation  and  non-monetary  benefits,  are  reviewed  annually  by  the  Executive 
Chairman based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the consolidated entity and comparable market 
remunerations.

Executives may receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it 
does not create any additional costs to the consolidated entity and provides additional value to the executive.

Use of remuneration consultants
The consolidated entity did not engage remuneration consultants during the year ended 30 June 2020. 

Details of remuneration

As part of the Merger Transaction on 30 June 2019, MAAS Group Holding Limited (MGH) acquired the shares of the following entities 
under common control of shareholders’ Wesley Maas and his spouse, Emma Maas, through the issue of shares in MGH: 
 - MAAS Group Pty Ltd (MGPL) and its controlled entities;
 - MAAS Group Developments Pty Ltd;
 - Regional Hardrock Pty Ltd;
 - Regional Hardrock (Dubbo) Pty Ltd;
 - Regional Hardrock Unit Trust; and
 - Eykan Holdings Pty Ltd.
 (referred to as the “MGPL group”)

As  a  result  of  the  Merger  Transaction,  MGPL  became  a  100%  owned  subsidiary  of  MGH.  The  above  transaction  did  not  represent  a 
business combination as defined by AASB 3 Business combinations since the transaction was considered to be a combination of entities 
under common control, and therefore the continuation method of accounting (book value) was adopted.

MGPL was the holding company for the civil and hire activities prior to the Merger Transaction and was identified as the ‘acquirer’ for 
accounting  purposes.  Accordingly,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  were  prepared  as  a  continuation  of  the  consolidation  of  the 
common  controlled  entities  listed  above.  The  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  and  the  statement  of  cash 
flows for the year ended 30 June 2019 represents the results of the MGPL group for the period from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019.

The  other  entities  party  to  the  Merger  Transaction  (not  under  common  control)  were  accounted  for  under  AASB  3  as  a  business 
combination where applicable. As the merger transaction occurred on 30 June 2019, their results were not included in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2019. The statement of financial 
position as at 30 June 2019 represents that of MGPL group and all the other entities party to the Merger Transaction as at that date.

Where  required  by  Accounting  Standards  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  with  changes  in  presentation  for  the 
current financial year. 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  that  have  recently  been  issued  or  amended  but  are  not  yet  mandatory,  have  not 
been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020:

The AASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify that liabilities are classified 
as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period.

These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable 
future transactions.

Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the 
measurement at fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties and derivatives at fair value.

Critical accounting estimates
The  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  requires  the  use  of  certain  critical  accounting  estimates.  It  also  requires  management  to 
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the consolidated entity's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of 
judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.

Parent entity information
In  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001,  these  financial  statements  present  the  results  of  the  consolidated  entity  only. 
Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 39.

Principles of consolidation
The  consolidated  financial  statements  incorporate  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  all  subsidiaries  of  MAAS  Group  Holdings  Limited 
('company'  or  'parent  entity')  as  at  30  June  2020  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year  then  ended.  MAAS  Group  Holdings 
Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the 'consolidated entity'.

Subsidiaries  are  all  those  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 de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

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

The acquisition of subsidiaries in a business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting - refer note 40. A 
change  in  ownership  interest,  without  the  loss  of  control,  is  accounted  for  as  an  equity  transaction,  where  the  difference  between  the 
consideration  transferred  and  the  book  value  of  the  share  of  the  non-controlling  interest  acquired  is  recognised  directly  in  equity 
attributable to the parent.

Non-controlling  interest  in  the  results  and  equity  of  subsidiaries  are  shown  separately  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income, statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by 
the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling interest in full, even if that results in a deficit balance.

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

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars ($), which is MAAS Group Holdings Limited’s functional and 
presentation currency.

Transactions and balances
Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions. 
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in 
equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment 
in a foreign operation.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income,  within  finance  costs.  All  other  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  are  presented  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income on a net basis within other gains/(losses).

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the 
fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain 
or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or 
loss  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  as  part  of  the  fair  value  gain  or  loss  and  translation  differences  on  non-monetary  assets  such  as 
equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Group companies
The  results  and  financial  position  of  foreign  operations  that  have  a  functional  currency  different  from  the  presentation  currency  are 
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
●
●

assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the reporting date
income and expenses for each statement of profit or  loss  and  other comprehensive income  are  translated at average exchange 
rates  (unless  this  is  not  a  reasonable  approximation  of  the  cumulative  effect  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the  transaction  dates,  in 
which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

●

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other 
financial  instruments  designated  as  hedges  of  such  investments,  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.

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

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

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

●

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable 
amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

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

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

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

MAAS Group Holdings Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated 
group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their 
own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts.  The  tax  consolidated  group  has  applied  the  'separate  taxpayer  within  group'  approach  in 
determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts,  the  head  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 each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.

The group has not yet entered into a tax funding and tax sharing agreement. Currently wholly owned entities fully compensate the head 
entity  for  any  current  tax  payable  assumed  and  are  compensated  by  the  head  entity  for  any  current  tax  receivable  and  deferred  tax 
assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to the head entity under the tax consolidation legislation.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their 
fair value at each reporting date. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated 
as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Derivatives are classified as current or non-current depending on the expected period of realisation.

Financial instruments
Investments and other financial assets 

Classification 
The consolidated entity classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: 
●

those  to  be  measured  subsequently  at  fair  value  (either  through  other  comprehensive  income  ("OCI"),  or  through  profit  or  loss), 
and
those to be measured at amortised cost.

●

The classification depends on the consolidated entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of 
the cash flows. 

For  assets  measured  at  fair  value,  gains  and  losses  will  either  be  recorded  in  profit  or  loss  or  other  comprehensive  income.  For 
investments  in  debt  instruments,  this  will  depend  on  the  business  model  in  which  the  investment  is  held.  For  investments  in  equity 
instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the consolidated entity has made an irrevocable election at the time 
of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The consolidated 
entity reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Measurement
At initial recognition, the consolidated entity measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair 
value  through  profit  or  loss  (FVPL),  transaction  costs  that  are  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  financial  asset.  Transaction 
costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. 

Financial  assets  with  embedded  derivatives  are  considered  in  their  entirety  when  determining  whether  their  cash  flows  are  solely 
payment  of  principal  and  interest.  Measurement  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  trade  and  other  receivables  are  measured  at 
amortised cost.

MAAS Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 2. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Debt instruments
Subsequent  measurement  of  debt  instruments  depends  on  the  consolidated  entity's  business  model  for  managing  the  asset  and  the 
cash  flow  characteristics  of  the  asset.  There  are  three  measurement  categories  into  which  the  consolidated  entity  classifies  its  debt 
instruments:
●

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of 
principal  and  interest  are  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is  included  in  finance  income 
using  the  effective  interest  rate  method.  Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  is  recognised  directly  in  profit  or  loss  and 
presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate 
line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
FVOCI:  Assets  that  are  held  for  collection  of  contractual  cash  flows  and  for  selling  the  financial  assets,  where  the  assets’  cash 
flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken 
through  OCI,  except  for  the  recognition  of  impairment  gains  or  losses,  interest  revenue  and  foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses 
which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised 
in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets 
is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other 
gains/(losses)  and  impairment  expenses  are  presented  as  separate  line  item  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other 
comprehensive income. 
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment 
that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in 
which it arises.

●

●

Equity instruments 
The consolidated entity subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. The consolidated entity measures its investments in 
equity instruments at FVPL. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement 
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as applicable.

Impairment 
The consolidated entity assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at 
amortised  cost  and  FVOCI.  The  impairment  methodology  applied  depends  on  whether  there  has  been  a  significant  increase  in  credit 
risk.  For  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets,  the  consolidated  entity  applies  the  simplified  approach  permitted  by  AASB  9,  which 
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the trade receivables and contract assets.

Where  there  has  not  been  a  significant  increase  in  exposure  to  credit  risk  since  initial  recognition,  a  12-month  expected  credit  loss 
allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is 
possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has 
increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss 
recognised  is  measured  on  the  basis  of  the  probability  weighted  present  value  of  anticipated  cash  shortfalls  over  the  life  of  the 
instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised in other 
comprehensive income with a corresponding expense through profit or loss. In all other cases, the loss allowance reduces the asset's 
carrying value with a corresponding expense through profit or loss.

Impairment of non-financial 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  to  sell  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.

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.

Finance costs
Finance  costs  are  recognised  as  expenses  in  the  period  in  which  they  are  incurred,  except  where  they  are  included  in  the  costs  of 
qualifying  assets.  The  capitalisation  rate  used  to  determine  the  amount  of  finance  costs  to  be  capitalised  to  qualifying  assets  is  the 
weighted average interest rate applicable to the entity’s borrowings during the period. 

Finance  costs  include  interest  on  bank  overdrafts  and  short-term  and  long-term  borrowings,  amortisation  of  discounts  or  premiums 
relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, finance lease charges 
and certain exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.

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

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

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

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Judgement  has  been  exercised  in  considering  the  impacts  that  the  Coronavirus  (COVID-19)  pandemic  has  had,  or  may  have,  on  the 
consolidated  entity  based  on  known  information.  This  consideration  extends  to  the  nature  of  the  products  and  services  offered, 
customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific 
notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties 
with respect to events or conditions which may impact the consolidated entity unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a 
result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Allowance for expected credit losses
The  allowance  for  expected  credit  losses  assessment  for  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets  requires  a  degree  of  estimation  and 
judgement.  It  is  based  on  the  lifetime  expected  credit  loss,  grouped  based  on  days  overdue,  and  makes  assumptions  to  allocate  an 
overall  expected  credit  loss  rate  for  each  group.  These  assumptions  include  recent  sales  experience,  historical  collection  rates,  the 
impact of the COVID-10 pandemic and forward-looking information that is available.

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

Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, whether goodwill 
and other indefinite life intangible assets have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been 
determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates 
based on the current cost of capital and growth rates of the estimated future cash flows. Refer to note 18 for further information.

Investment properties
Investment properties are revalued annually by independent professional valuers. The critical inputs underlying the estimated fair value 
of investment properties are contained in note 33. Any change in these inputs may impact the fair value of the investment properties. 
The  fair  value  assessment  of  the  investment  properties  includes  the  best  estimate  of  the  impacts  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  using 
information available at the reporting date.

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets
The consolidated entity assesses impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets at each 
reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the consolidated entity and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. If an 
impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. This involves fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-
use  calculations,  which  incorporate  a  number  of  key  estimates  and  assumptions  including  the  best  estimate  of  the  impacts  of  the 
COVDI-19 pandemic using information available at the reporting date.

Incremental borrowing rate
Where the interest rate implicit in a lease cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing rate is estimated to discount future 
lease payments to measure the present value of the lease liability at the lease commencement date. Such a rate is based on what the 
consolidated entity estimates it would have to pay a third party to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the 
right-of-use asset, with similar terms, security and economic environment.

Derivative instruments - conversion feature of convertible notes
The  fair  value  of  the  conversion  feature  of  the  convertible  notes  is  estimated  using  present  value  techniques,  by  discounting  the 
probability-weighted estimated future cash outflows.  The critical inputs underlying the estimated fair value of the conversion feature of 
the convertible notes is contained in note 33. Any change in these inputs may impact the fair value of the derivative.

Business Combinations
(i) Fair value of consideration - merger transaction
The fair value consideration of the merger transaction has been assessed based upon a valuation of the merged entity as at 30 June 
2019  using  the  capitalisation  of  future  maintainable  earnings.  The  valuation  is  based  on  an  equity  value  that  accrues  to  equity 
holders. These calculations require the use of assumptions including future maintainable earnings, earnings multiples and premiums or 
discounts that are applicable to the corporate structure of the consolidated entity as at 30 June 2019.

Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

(ii) Deferred consideration
The deferred consideration liability is the difference between  the total purchase consideration, usually on an acquisition of a  business 
combination, and the amounts paid or settled up to the reporting date, discounted to net present value. The consolidated entity applies 
provisional  accounting  for  any  business  combination.  Any  reassessment  of  the  liability  during  the  earlier  of  the  finalisation  of  the 
provisional  accounting  or  12  months  from  acquisition-date  is  adjusted  for  retrospectively  as  part  of  the  provisional  accounting  rules  in 
accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations. Thereafter, at each reporting date, the deferred consideration liability is reassessed 
against revised estimates and any increase or decrease in the net present value of the liability will result in a corresponding gain or loss 
to profit or loss. The increase in the liability resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

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

5. All other segments

This segment includes investments in listed equity securities and head office. 

The operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as 
the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. There is no 
aggregation of operating segments.

The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal 
reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements.

The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis.

Intersegment transactions
Intersegment transactions were made at market rates. Intersegment transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Intersegment receivables, payables and loans
Intersegment loans are initially recognised at the consideration received. Intersegment loans receivable and loans payable that earn or 
incur  non-market  interest  are  not  adjusted  to  fair  value  based  on  market  interest  rates.  Intersegment  loans  are  eliminated  on 
consolidation.

Segment assets
Segment assets are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. These assets are allocated based on the operations of 
the segment and the physical location of the asset.

Accounting policy for revenue recognition
Construction - civil infrastructure 
The  consolidated  entity  derives  revenue  from  the  construction  of  civil  infrastructure  projects,  including  roads,  railways,  tunnels,  water, 
energy and resources facilities across Australia. Contracts entered into may be for the construction of one or several separate stages in 
a  project  (deliverables).  The  construction  of  each  individual  deliverable  is  generally  taken  to  be  one  performance  obligation.  Where 
contracts  are  entered  for  the  building  of  deliverables,  the  total  transaction  price  is  allocated  across  each  deliverable  based  on  stand-
alone selling prices. The transaction price is normally fixed at the start of the project. It is normal practice for contracts to include bonus 
and penalty elements based on timely construction or other performance criteria known as variable consideration, discussed below. 

The performance obligation is fulfilled over time and as such revenue is recognised over time. As work is performed on the assets being 
constructed  they  are  controlled  by  the  customer  and  have  no  alternative  use  to  the  consolidated  entity,  with  the  consolidated  entity 
having a right to payment for performance to date. 

Generally, contracts identify various inter-linked activities required in the construction process. Revenue is recognised on the measured 
output of each process based on appraisals that are agreed with the customer on a regular basis. 

Revenue earned is typically invoiced monthly or in some cases on achievement of milestones or to match major capital outlay. 

Invoices are paid on normal commercial terms, which may include the customer withholding a retention amount until finalisation of the 
construction. Certain construction projects entered into receive payment prior to work being performed in which case revenue is deferred 
on the statement of financial position.

Note 5. Revenue (continued)

Construction - residential 
The consolidated entity derives revenue from the construction of residential houses in the NSW area. Contracts entered into is for the 
construction of a residential dwelling and is taken to be one performance obligation and the stand-alone selling price. The performance 
obligation is fulfilled over time and as such revenue is recognised over time. As work is performed on the assets being constructed they 
are  controlled  by  the  customer  and  have  no  alternative  use  to  the  consolidated  entity,  with  the  consolidated  entity  having  a  right  to 
payment for performance to date.

Generally, contracts identify various inter-linked activities required in the construction process. Revenue is recognised on the measured 
input,  being  stage  of  completion  of  costs  incurred  against  budgeted  costs.  Stage  of  completion  is  determined  with  reference  to  the 
services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. 

Customers  are  invoiced  based  on  the  achievement  of  milestones  (included  in  the  contract).  Payment  is  received  following  invoice  on 
normal  commercial  terms.  At  reporting  date,  the  amounts  invoiced  are  likely  to  differ  from  the  stage  of  completion.  The  difference  is 
recognised as either a contract asset or contract liability.

Equipment and machinery hire
The  consolidated  entity  generates  revenue  from  the  provision  of  dry  hire  and  wet  hire  of  plant  and  equipment  to  many  infrastructure 
projects throughout Australia. Contracts include separate mobilisation and demobilisation fees and a schedule of rates for the dry hire or 
wet hire. Dry hire revenue is generated from hire of equipment only, no supply of driver, maintenance or fuel, whereas wet hire includes 
a driver and can include maintenance services and fuel. 

These  form  of  contracts  may  vary  in  scope  however  all  wet  hires  have  one  common  performance  obligation,  being  the  provision  of 
equipment and driver to the customer which includes mobilisation and dismantling, and maintenance services and any ancillary materials 
that are required to fulfil the obligation.

The  mobilisation  fees,  maintenance  services  and  ancillary  materials  are  generally  taken  to  be  one  performance  obligation  as  the 
customer does not benefit from these services on its own, are not considered distinct and therefore are grouped with other items in the 
contract, being the hire of equipment.

Equipment and machinery rental periods are typically short-term and is recognised at fixed rates over the period of hire. Customers are 
in general invoiced on a monthly basis and payment is received following invoice on normal commercial terms. 

Electrical service revenue
The consolidated entity performs electrical services specialising in underground and overhead power line construction and High Voltage 
and Low Voltage cable jointing for supply authorities and mining professionals. Contracts may include multiple processes required to be 
performed  for  each  milestone  set  in  the  project.  Milestones  may  be  performed  by  the  Group  or  by  other  contractors  employed  by  the 
customer  and  as  such  are  accounted  for  as  separate  obligations.  The  transaction  price  is  allocated  to  each  performance  obligation 
based  on  the  stand-alone  selling  price.  The  total  transaction  price  may  include  a  variable  pricing  element  which  is  accounted  for  in 
accordance with the policy on variable consideration.

Performance  obligations  are  fulfilled  over  time  with  revenue  recognised  in  the  accounting  period  in  which  the  electrical  services  are 
rendered based on the amount of the expected transaction price allocated to each performance obligation as the customer continues to 
control the asset as it is enhanced.

Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on a schedule of rates that is aligned with the stand 
alone selling prices for each performance obligation. Payment is received following invoice on normal commercial terms.

Service revenue: labour hire and repairs
The  consolidated  entity  performs  repairs  to  machinery  and  provides  labour  to  customers  in  the  underground  mining,  tunnelling,  civil 
construction and rail industries. Contracts include a schedule of rates that is aligned with the stand alone selling prices of the service 
provided. The  performance  obligation  is  fulfilled  over  time  and  as  such  revenue  is  recognised  over  time  because  the  customer 
simultaneously  receives  and  consumes  the  benefits  provided  by  the  entity’s  performance.  Revenue  is  recognised  on  the  measured 
output with reference to the services performed to date.

Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis for an amount that is calculated on a schedule of rates that is aligned with the stand 
alone selling prices for each performance obligation. Payment is received following invoice on normal commercial terms. 

Sales of goods – plant, equipment, parts, road-base and aggregates
The  consolidated  entity  sells  plant,  equipment,  parts,  road-base  and  aggregates.  Sale  of  these  goods  usually  contains  only  one 
performance obligation, with revenue recognised at the point in time when the material is transferred to the customer. The revenue is 
measured  at  the  transaction  price  agreed  under  the  contract.  In  most  cases,  the  consideration  is  due  when  the  goods  have  been 
transferred to the customer.

Land development and resale
The consolidated entity develops and sells residential properties in NSW. Property revenue is recognised when control over the property 
has been transferred to the customer. This is generally at the point when legal title has transferred to the customer as properties are not 
developed  based  on  the  specific  needs  of  individual  customers.  The  revenue  is  measured  at  the  transaction  price  agreed  under  the 
contract.

Variable consideration 
It is common for contracts to include performance bonuses or penalties assessed against the timeliness or cost effectiveness of work 
completed or other performance related KPIs. Where consideration in respect of a contract is variable, the expected value of revenue is 
only  recognised  when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently  resolved,  known  as  “constraint” 
requirements.  The  consolidated  entity  assesses  the  constraint  requirements  on  a  periodic  basis  when  estimating  the  variable 
consideration to be included in the transaction price. The estimate is based on all available information including historic performance. 
Where  modifications  in  design  or  contract  requirements  are  entered  into,  the  transaction  price  is  updated  to  reflect  these.  Where  the 
price of the modification has not been confirmed, an estimate is made of the amount of revenue to recognise whilst also considering the 
constraint requirement. 

Contract assets and liabilities 
AASB 15 uses the terms ‘contract asset’ and ‘contract liability’ to describe what is commonly known as ‘accrued revenue’ and ‘deferred 
revenue’.  Contract  assets  are  balances  due  from  customers  under  contracts  as  work  is  performed  and  therefore  a  contract  asset  is 
recognised  over  the  period  in  which  the  performance  obligation  is  fulfilled.  This  represents  the  entity’s  right  to  consideration  for  the 
services  transferred  to  date.  Amounts  are  generally  reclassified  to  receivables  when  these  have  been  certified  or  invoiced  to  a 
customer. Contract liabilities arise where payment is received prior to work being performed.

Financing components 
The consolidated entity does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services 
to  the  customer  represents  a  financing  component.  As  a  consequence,  the  consolidated  entity  does  not  adjust  any  of  the  transaction 
prices for the time value of money. 

Warranties and defect periods 
Generally construction and services contracts include defect and warranty periods following completion of the project. These obligations 
are not deemed to be separate performance obligations and therefore estimated and included in the total costs of the contracts. Where 
required, amounts are recognised accordingly in line with AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. 

Loss making contracts 
A  provision  is  made  for  the  difference  between  the  expected  cost  of  fulfilling  a  contract  and  the  expected  unearned  portion  of  the 
transaction price where the forecast costs are greater than the forecast revenue.

Dividends and interest
Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established, and interest revenue is recognised using the 
effective interest method.

Rent
Rent  revenue  from  investment  properties  is  recognised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term.  Lease  incentives  granted  are 
recognised as part of the rental revenue. Contingent rentals are recognised as income in the period when earned.

Accounting policy for trade and other receivables
Trade  and  other  receivables  include  amounts  due  from  customers  for  goods  sold  and  services  performed  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
business. Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All 
other receivables are classified as non-current assets. 

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing 
components, when they are recognised at fair value. The consolidated entity holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the 
contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Note 10. Trade and other receivables (continued)

(a) Fair values of trade and other receivables
Due to the short term nature of the current receivables, the carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

(b) Other financial assets at amortised cost
These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the consolidated entity. Interest is charged at 
commercial rates where the repayment exceeds 12 months. Collateral is not normally obtained. The non-current receivables are due and 
payable within 2 years from the end of the reporting period.

(c) Fair values of financial assets at amortised cost
For the non-current receivables, the fair values are not significantly different from their carrying amounts.

(d) Impairment and risk exposure
Note 32 sets out information of financial assets and exposure to credit risk.

Loans due by director related entities and non-related entities are denominated in Australian dollars, as a result there is no exposure to 
foreign  currency  risk.  Current  trade  and  other  receivables  include  balances  denominated  in  Vietnamese  Dong.  Refer  note  32  for  the 
consolidated entity's exposure to foreign currency risk.

(i) Included in interest revenue is $101,601 (2019: $1,117,929) relating to loans due by non-related entities.

The balance at 30 June 2019 includes contract assets of $3,042,685 acquired through business acquisitions in the 2019 financial year.

The main drivers for the increase in contract assets were the new international operations which contributed an increase of $2,814,788 
in contract assets. Growth in the underground mining segment overall contributed to an additional $3,107,431 to the balance as at 30 
June 2020.

Accounting policy for contract assets
Contract  assets  are  recognised  when  the  consolidated  entity  has  transferred  goods  or  services  to  the  customer  but  where  the 
consolidated  entity  is  yet  to  establish  an  unconditional  right  to  consideration.  Contract  assets  are  treated  as  financial  assets  for 
impairment purposes.

Accounting policy for inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value and comprise of the following:

- Land held for development and resale 
Cost includes the costs of acquisition, development and holding costs such as rates, taxes and finance costs. Holding costs on property 
developments  not  under  active  development  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Land  held  for  development  and  resale  not  expected  to  be 
realised within the next 12 months has been classified as non-current.

- Raw materials, finished goods and parts
Raw materials, finished goods and parts are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct 
labour  and  an  appropriate  proportion  of  variable  and  fixed  overhead  expenditure.  Costs  of  purchased  inventory  are  determined  after 
deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling 
expenses.

Note 14. Non-current assets classified as held for sale (continued)

A residential property with a fair value of $190,015, situated in Emerald QLD.

The investment properties held for sale consist of: 
(i)
(ii) Vacant land with a fair value of $145,000, situated in Muswellbrook NSW.
(iii) Two commercial properties with fair values of $540,000 and $3,000,000 respectively, situated in Rutherford NSW.
(iv) Two commercial properties with fair values of $1,280,000 and $408,600 respectively, situated in Emerald QLD.
(v) A commercial property with a fair value of $1,400,000, situated in Mackay QLD.

The residential property situated in Emerald QLD was sold after the reporting date for $190,015. All other properties are expected to be 
sold  within  12  months  from  the  reporting  date  and  sale  negotiations  are  currently  in  progress.  The  properties  are  surplus  to 
requirements. The assets are presented within total assets of the Real Estate segment in note 4.

Accounting policy for non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale
Non-current  assets  and  assets  of  disposal  groups  are  classified  as  held  for  sale  if  their  carrying  amount  will  be  recovered  principally 
through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value 
less costs of disposal. For non-current assets or assets of disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for 
immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair 
value  less  costs  of  disposal.  A  gain  is  recognised  for  any  subsequent  increases  in  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  of  a  non-current 
assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.

Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to 
the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on 
the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented 
separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities.

Valuations of investment properties
The investment properties are revalued annually based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute 
having recent experience in the location and category of investment property being valued. Valuations are based on current prices in an 
active market for similar properties of the same location and condition, subject to similar leases and takes into consideration occupancy 
rates and returns on investment.

Refer to note 33 for further information on fair value measurement.

Leasing arrangements
The  investment  properties  are  leased  to  tenants  under  operating  leases  with  rentals  payable  monthly.  Lease  payments  for  some 
contracts  include  CPI  increases,  but  there  are  no  other  variable  lease  payments  that  depend  on  an  index  or  rate.  Where  considered 
necessary to reduce credit risk, the consolidated entity may obtain bank guarantees for the term of the lease.

Although  the  consolidated  entity  is  exposed  to  changes  in  the  residual  value  at  the  end  of  the  current  leases,  the  consolidated  entity 
typically enters into new operating leases and therefore will not immediately realise any reduction in residual value at the end of these 
leases. Expectations about the future residual values are reflected in the fair value of the properties.

Accounting policy for investment properties
Investment properties principally comprise of freehold land and buildings held for long-term rental and capital appreciation that are not 
occupied  by  the  consolidated  entity.  Investment  properties  are  initially  recognised  at  cost,  including  transaction  costs,  and  are 
subsequently remeasured annually at fair value. Movements in fair value are recognised directly to profit or loss.

Investment properties are derecognised when disposed of or when there is no future economic benefit expected.

Transfers to and from investment properties to property, plant and equipment are determined by a change in use of owner-occupation. 
The fair value on the date of change of use from investment properties to property, plant and equipment are used as deemed cost for the 
subsequent accounting. The existing carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is used for the subsequent accounting cost of 
investment properties on the date of change of use.

Investment properties also include properties under construction for future use as investment properties. These are carried at fair value, 
or at cost where fair value cannot be reliably determined and the construction is incomplete.

Accounting policy for property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment except for land and assets under construction, 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 property, 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  through  profit  or  loss.  A  formal  assessment  of  recoverable  amount  is  made  when  impairment 
indicators are present.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable 
amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from 
the  asset’s  employment  and  subsequent  disposal.  The  expected  net  cash  flows  have  been  discounted  to  their  present  values  in 
determining recoverable amounts.

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  economic  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 recognised as expenses in profit or loss during the financial period in which 
they are incurred.

Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including land improvements & buildings, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on either 
the diminishing value method or units of production method over the asset’s useful life to the consolidated entity commencing from the 
time the asset is held ready for use. Estimated useful lives for each class of depreciable asset are as follows:

Buildings
Leasehold improvements
Hire equipment and machinery
Plant and equipment
Motor vehicles

2-10 years
20-25 years
3-10 years
3-10 years
4-8 years

Quarry land is amortised based on the rate of depletion of reserves as compared to the estimate of the total economically recoverable 
reserves.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 17. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Buildings, plant and equipment, and motor vehicles under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. If the consolidated entity is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right of 
use asset is depreciated over the underlying assets useful life.

An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  greater  than  its 
estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are recognised 
in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. 

Leased assets
Included in the above property, plant and equipment balances are assets under lease. Refer note 23  for details of right-of-use assets 
and the respective lease liabilities.

Impairment testing for goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives:
The calculations use cash flow projections based on cash flow forecasts covering a five-year period. The cash flows are based on past 
results adjusted for current market conditions and known contracts. 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. 

Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are monitored by management at the following level:

(a) The annual sales growth rate is based on past performance and management's expectations of market development.
(b) Fixed costs of the CGU, 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. 

(c) 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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 consolidated entity has applied post-tax discount rates to discount the forecast future attributable 
post-tax cash flows. The equivalent pre-tax rates are disclosed in the table.

Whilst there has been no material adverse impact on the financial performance of the consolidated entity from COVID-19, there is a risk 
that  any  future  economic  downturn  could  impact  the  consolidated  entity’s  products  and  services  offered,  customers,  supply  chain, 
staffing  and  geographical  regions  in  which  the  group  operates.  Accordingly  judgement  has  been  exercised  in  considering  the  impacts 
COVID-19 has had, or may have on the assets of the consolidated entity, in particular the inputs included in the value-in-use calculations 
supporting recoverability of goodwill and non-current assets.

Note 18. Intangibles (continued)

Sensitivity
Management have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing. Should judgements and estimates not occur, the 
carrying  value  of  goodwill  may  vary.  Any  reasonable  change  in  the  key  assumptions  on  which  the  estimates  and/or  discount  rate  are 
based would not cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount. 

Accounting policy for intangible assets
Intangible assets that are acquired are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently 
measured  at  cost  less  any  impairment.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortisation  and  any 
impairment.  The  gains  or  losses  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  arising  from  the  derecognition  of  intangible  assets  are  measured  as  the 
difference  between  net  disposal  proceeds  and  the  carrying  amount  of  the  intangible  asset.  The  method  and  useful  lives  of  finite  life 
intangible assets are reviewed annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively 
by changing the amortisation method or period.

Brand names
Brand names acquired in a business combination that qualify for separate recognition are recognised as intangible assets at their fair 
values. Brand names are not amortised on the basis that they have an indefinite life and are reviewed annually. 

Customer contracts/relationships
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, 
being their finite life of 3 years.

Extraction rights
Extraction rights are amortised as materials are extracted (volumes extracted during the period are compared with the estimated total 
volume of deposits to be extracted from the quarry over its useful life) in order to reflect the decline in value due to depletion.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment 
losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill acquired is allocated to 
each  of  the  Cash  Generating  Units  (“CGU”)  expected  to  benefit  from  the  combination’s  synergies.  Impairment  is  determined  by 
assessing the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the goodwill relates. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on 
value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions.

Accounting policy for trade and other payables
Trade  payables  are  amounts  due  to  suppliers  for  goods  purchased  or  services  provided  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business. Trade 
payables are generally due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current.

Other payables and accrued expenses generally arise from normal transactions within the usual operating activities of the consolidated 
entity and comprise items such as employee taxes, employee on costs, GST and other recurring items.

A  liability  is  recorded  for  goods  and  services  received  prior  to  balance  date,  whether  invoiced  to  the  consolidated  entity  or  not.  Trade 
payables are normally settled within 30 days.

The carrying amounts of trade and other payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short term nature.

(a) Bank loans and multi-option facility
30 June 2020:
In May 2020 the company negotiated a new Corporate Finance Facility of $125m for its Australian operations under a common terms 
deed  arrangement.  The  purpose  of  the  new  facility  was  to  refinance  its  existing  facilities  and  to  provide  additional  liquidity  to  the 
consolidated  entity.  $60m  of  the  $125m  facility  related  to  a  hire  purchase  facility  (refer  note  22)  whilst  the  balance  of  the  facilities 
comprised a term loan, and a multi-option cash advance and bank guarantee facility. The multi-option facility is an interchangeable bank 
facility which allows the consolidated entity to change between cash advances and contract performance guarantees. The balance of the 
contract performance guarantees as at 30 June 2020 amounted to $8,086,480 (refer note 34). The term loan has a 3-year term and is 
non-amortising. The multi-option facility also has a 3-year term with an annual requirement to fully repay the cash advance component 
for a period of 7 consecutive days. The repaid amount is then able to be redrawn after the 7 day period. The facilities are secured by a 
combination of General Security Agreements and mortgages over Australian group assets and property interests. Interest on the bank 
loans  is  calculated  using  the  Bank  Bill  Swap  (BBSY)  Bid  rate  plus  a  relevant  margin.  Total  transaction  costs  were  $702,020  and 
unamortised transaction costs of $661,680 have been offset against the bank loans at 30 June 2020.

Included in bank loans is a 131 billion VND facility in Vietnam which is secured by land use rights and related assets. The facility can be 
denominated in the currencies of VND or USD and attracts interest rates of between 7% to 7.5% for VND and 3.5% to 4% for USD. The 
loan is denominated in VND.

Note 22. Borrowings (continued)

30 June 2019:
Current bank loans included an invoice finance facility of $4,328,215, a $8,000,000 loan facility to finance the acquisition of Bizitay and 
various  other  bank  loans.  All  loans  had  variable  interest  rates  and  were  secured  against  all  current  and  non-current  assets  of  the 
consolidated  entity  by  floating  charge.  Covenants  included  a  minimum  capital  adequacy  of  45%  as  measured  on  a  daily  basis  and 
reported quarterly for the EMS Group. These facilities were refinanced in May 2020.

Non-current bank loans comprised three facilities secured over respective properties. All loans were interest only, had variable interest 
rates, terms of 3 years (expiry dates of 29 April 2022, 28 March 2022 and 2 May 2022 respectively) and no financial covenants. These 
loans were refinanced in May 2020.

(b) Convertible notes
On 1 July 2019, convertible notes were issued for $20,000,000. A $1,000,000 interest payment due in May 2020 was converted into a 
further $1,000,000 in notes and the facility extended and subordinated to the bank debt. The key terms of the new facility is as follows:
●
●
●
●
●

Facility expiry date of 31 May 2023.
Interest payable at 10% per annum in the event IPO does not occur by 31 May 2021 prior interest rate moves to 12%.
Interest payable every 6 months.
The consolidated entity can elect to issue further notes in lieu of accrued interest payment.
In  the  event  of  an  IPO,  noteholders  are  entitled  to  receive  a  10%  discount  on  the  issuance  price.  If  an  IPO  occurs  after  31 
December 2020 the discount increases to 12.5%, after 31 December 2021 the discount increases to 15%.
The effect of the Deed of Subordination entered into and amendments to the Note Deed consented to by noteholders mean that 
various financial covenants contained in the original note deed no longer have any effect.
Notes are unsecured.

●

●

The  net  cash  received  from  the  issue  of  the  convertible  notes  was  used  principally  to  acquire  Jacon  and  Bizitay  (see  note  40),  for 
working capital and for costs associated with the company's proposed IPO.

Note 22. Borrowings (continued)

(i)

Southlakes  -  Fixed  interest  rate  of  9.99%  and  annual  repayments  (principal  and  interest)  of  $1,000,000  and  a  final  payment  of 
$2,000,000 on 6 August 2024.

(ii) Bombira - Interest free and fully repaid in the 2020 financial year.
(iii) Westwinds - Interest free. Paid $2,552,000 in the 2020 financial year and the value of land of $1,540,000 (inclusive of GST) to be 

transferred on or before 27 February 2022.

(iv) Millers  Metal  Forbes  -  Interest  free  loan  with  penalty  interest  of  12%  charged  only  on  late  payments.  The  facility  is  secured  by 
assets acquired and the loan is to be repaid in 2 instalments of $12,573,000 and $7,404,500 respectively which are due on the first 
and second anniversary of the transaction completion date: 7 August 2020 and 7 August 2021. 

Fair value
The fair values of borrowings are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on borrowings is either 
close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short term nature.

Compliance with loan covenants
The consolidated entity has complied with the financial covenants of its borrowing facilities during the 2020 and 2019 reporting period,

Note 22. Borrowings (continued)

*
**

The used bank loan facility excludes borrowing costs capitalised.
The used multi-option facility includes performance guarantees of $8,086,480 (2019: $4,843,632) - refer note 34.

Accounting policy for borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings 
using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan 
to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down 
occurs. 

Borrowings are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, 
cancelled  or  expired.  The  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  a  financial  liability  that  has  been  extinguished  or  transferred  to 
another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss 
as other income or finance costs.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability 
for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Convertible notes:
On the issue of the convertible notes, where the conversion is a fixed number of shares for a fixed value there is an equity component,
otherwise the whole instrument is a financial liability.

When  it  is  determined  that  the  whole  instrument  is  a  financial  liability  and  no  equity  instrument  is  identified,  the  conversion  option  is 
separated  from  the  host  debt  and  classified  as  a  derivative  liability.  The  carrying  value  of  the  host  contract,  at  initial  recognition  is 
determined  as  the  difference  between  the  consideration  received  and  the  fair  value  of  the  embedded  derivative.  The  host  contract  is 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The embedded derivative is subsequently measured 
at fair value at the end of each reporting period through the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

When it is determined that the instrument contains an equity component based on the terms of the contract, on issue of the convertible 
notes, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is 
classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption. 
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in equity. The carrying amount of the 
conversion option is not re-measured in subsequent years.

Land and buildings
The consolidated entity has leases for warehouses and offices. Rental contracts are typically made for a fixed period of 3 - 5 years with 
options  to  extend.  With  the  exception  of  short-term  leases  and  leases  of  low  value  underlying  assets,  each  lease  is  reflected  on  the 
statement of financial position. The consolidated entity classifies its right-of-use assets in a consistent manner to its property, plant and 
equipment. Most extension options have been included in the lease liability.

Plant & equipment and motor vehicles
The  consolidated  entity  leases  various  plant  and  equipment  under  finance  lease,  hire  purchase  and  good  mortgages.  The leases  are 
secured over the individual motor vehicles and equipment that the lease relates to.

Accounting policy for lease liabilities
A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the 
lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be 
readily  determined,  the  consolidated  entity's  incremental  borrowing  rate.  Lease  payments  comprise  of  fixed  payments  (including  in-
substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts 
expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably 
certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are 
expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a 
change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty 
of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of 
use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Accounting policy for right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises 
the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of 
any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs 
expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use  assets  are  depreciated  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  unexpired  period  of  the  lease  or  the  estimated  useful  life  of  the 
asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease 
term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement 
of lease liabilities. 

The  consolidated  entity  has  elected  not  to  recognise  a  right-of-use  asset  and  corresponding  lease  liability  for  short-term  leases  with 
terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after 
the end of the reporting 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  liability  for 
annual  leave  is  presented  as  provision  for  employee  benefits.  All  other  short-term  employee  benefit  obligations  are  presented  as 
payables.

Defined contribution superannuation expense
Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Other long-term employee benefits
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which is not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the 
reporting period in which the employees render the related service is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and 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  on  corporate  bonds  with  terms  and 
currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

The consolidated entitys obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provision for employee benefits the 
consolidated  statement  of  financial  position,  except  where  the  consolidated  entity  does  not  have  an  unconditional  right  to  defer 
settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as a current provision 
for employee benefits.

Contingent consideration
Contingent  consideration  amounts  of  $434,194  and  $50,000  relate  to  the  acquisition  of  the  Westelect  and  Jacon  businesses 
(respectively) by EMS Group Pty Ltd.

Warranties
The provision represents the estimated warranty claims in respect of products sold which are still under warranty at the reporting date. 
The  provision  is  estimated  based  on  historical  warranty  claim  information,  sales  levels  and  any  recent trends  that  may  suggest  future

Accounting policy for provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is 
probable  the  consolidated  entity  will  be  required  to  settle  the  obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  can  be  made  of  the  amount  of  the 
obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the 
reporting  date,  taking  into  account  the  risks  and  uncertainties  surrounding  the  obligation.  If  the  time  value  of  money  is  material, 
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of 
time is recognised as a finance cost.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary  shares  entitle  the  holder  to  participate  in  dividends  and  the  proceeds  on  the  winding  up  of  the  company  in  proportion  to  the 
number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the company does not have a 
limited amount of authorised capital.

On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall 
have one vote.

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

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

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

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding 
relative  to  the  current  company's  share  price  at  the  time  of  the  investment.  The  consolidated  entity  is  not  actively  pursuing  additional 
investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

The  consolidated  entity  is  subject  to  certain  financing  arrangements  covenants  and  meeting  these  is  given  priority  in  all  capital  risk 
management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during the financial year. The consolidated 
entity monitors capital to ensure it maintains compliance with its various financial covenants.  Refer (i) below for a summary of existing 
financial covenants for the Australian senior debt facilities.

Note 29. Issued capital (continued)

(i) Loan covenants
Under the terms of the major borrowing facilities, the consolidated entity is required to comply with the following financial covenants:
(a) A leverage ratio at each reporting date that will be less than or equal to 2.5 times.
(b) A debt service coverage ratio of more than or equal to 1.25 times.
(c) A tangible assets coverage ratio of 1.75 times for the period between 30 June 2020 and 31 March 2021 and 2 times from 30 June 

2021 onwards.

(d) Shareholders'  funds  at  each  reporting  date  is  not  less  than  the  greater  of  $125,000,000  or  80%  of  shareholders'  funds  for  the 
immediately preceding financial year. Shareholders' funds means, at any time, the aggregate of the amounts paid up or credited as 
paid up on the issued ordinary share capital of the company and the amount standing to the credit of the reserves of the company, 
including subordinated debt and retained earnings.

The consolidated entity has complied with these covenants throughout the reporting period from the date of commencement of the new 
financing facilities.

Accounting policy for issued capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

Note 32. Financial instruments

Financial risk management objectives
The  consolidated  entity's  activities  expose  it  to  a  variety  of  financial  risks:  market  risk  (including  foreign  currency  risk,  price  risk  and 
interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability 
of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential  adverse  effects  on  the  financial  performance  of  the  consolidated  entity.  The 
consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity 
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, ageing analysis for credit risk.

The  Board  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  determination  of  the  consolidated  entity’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:

Market risk

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).

Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through 
foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in 
a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.

Exchange rates over the 12 month period were analysed and a sensitivity determined to show the effect on profit and equity after tax if 
the VND:AUD exchange rates at reporting date had been 10% basis higher or lower, with all other variables held constant. The following

reporting date.

Price risk
The consolidated entity is not exposed to any significant price risk.

Interest rate risk
The  consolidated  entity's  main  interest  rate  risk  arises  from  long-term  borrowings.  Borrowings  obtained  at  variable  rates  expose  the 
consolidated entity to interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the consolidated entity to fair value interest rate risk.

As at the reporting date, the consolidated entity had the following variable rate borrowings:

Bank overdraft
Bank loans and multi-option facility (excluding borrowing costs)

An analysis by remaining contractual maturities is shown in 'liquidity' below.

The percentage change is based on the expected volatility of interest rates using market data and analysts forecasts. 

Credit risk
Credit  risk  refers  to  the  risk  that  a  counterparty  will  default  on  its  contractual  obligations  resulting  in  financial  loss  to  the  consolidated 
entity. The consolidated entity has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting 
appropriate credit limits. The consolidated entity obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to 
credit  risk  at  the  reporting  date  to  recognised  financial  assets  is  the  carrying  amount,  net  of  any  provisions  for  impairment  of  those 
assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The consolidated entity does not hold 
any collateral.

The consolidated entity assess on a forward looking basis in estimating expected credit losses to trade receivables and contract assets. 
The  simplified  approach  to  measuring  expected  credit  losses  has  been  applied.  To  measure  the  expected  credit  losses,  trade 
receivables  have  been  grouped  based  on  days  past  due.  The  provision  is  considered  representative  across  all  customers  of  the 
consolidated entity based on recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available.

Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a 
debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater 
than 1 year.

Liquidity risk
The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities by continuously 
monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 1
The fair values of listed equity securities are based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price 
used for financial assets held by the consolidated entity is the bid price. 

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3
- Investment properties
Investment properties are revalued annually based on independent assessments by a member of the Australian Property Institute having 
recent experience in the location and category of investment property being valued. The valuers have considered valuation techniques 
including direct comparison method, capitalisation approach and/or discounted cash flow analysis in arriving at the fair values as at the 
reporting date. 

The  direct  comparison  method  involves  the  analysis  of  comparable  sales  of  similar  properties  and  adjusting  the  sale  prices  to  that 
reflective  of  the  investment  properties.  The  capitalisation  approach  captures  an  income  stream  into  a  present  value  using  revenue 
multipliers  or  single-year  capitalisation  rates.  The  discounted  cash  flow  method  involves  the  estimation  and  projection  of  an  income 
stream over a period and discounting the income stream with an expected rate of return.

All resulting fair value estimates for properties are included in level 3. Investment properties that are held for sale at the reporting date 
and which were valued at their selling price, have been included in level 2.

- Derivative instruments - conversion feature of convertible notes
The  fair  value  of  the  conversion  feature  of  the  convertible  notes  is  estimated  using  present  value  techniques,  by  discounting  the 
probability-weighted estimated future cash outflows.

The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if

The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if 
land rate was higher/(lower)

The lower the discount rate, the higher the fair value

For the derivative instruments, changing one or more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions 
would not change fair value significantly.

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

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

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the 
inputs  used  in  making  the  measurements.  Classifications  are  reviewed  at  each  reporting  date  and  transfers  between  levels  are 
determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or 
when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is 
a  significant  change  in  fair  value  of  an  asset  or  liability  from  one  period  to  another,  an  analysis  is  undertaken,  which  includes  a 
verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Note 40. Business combinations and asset acquisitions

(a) Business acquisitions

Summary of acquisitions
Acquisition of Millers Metals
On  7  August  2019,  MAAS  Group  Pty  Ltd  (MGPL)  acquired  100%  of  the  ordinary  shares  in  Millers  Metals  Forbes  Pty  Ltd  and  the 
business assets of Millers Metals from Manso Holdings Pty Ltd, and acquired the land associated in West Wyalong and Forbes through 
its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  Regional  Hardrock  (West  Wyalong)  Pty  Ltd  and  Regional  Hardrock  (Forbes)  Pty  Ltd  respectively 
(collectively  referred  to  as  "Millers  Metals"). Millers  Metals  own  and  operate  quarries  in  Forbes  and  West  Wyalong  and  have  a 
substantial fleet of vehicles, plant and machinery. Millers Metals provides mobile crushing and contract blasting, crushing and screening 
services to private and council owned pits. Aligned with the MAAS Group business model the acquisition provides geographic expansion 
in both its Construction Materials and Civil and Construction Hire business divisions.

The  total  consideration  for  the  acquisitions  was  $33,510,772  consisting  of  a  cash  settlement  of  $14,465,121  and  vendor  financing  of 
$19,045,651. The vendor financing is payable in 2 instalments of $12,573,000 and $7,404,500 respectively which are due on the first 
and second anniversary of the transaction completion date. 

A discount on acquisition of $1,194,898 arose in this transaction due to the valuation of the equipment which was underutilised by the 
previous owners and because of the requirement to present value the consideration amount payable.

Considering  the  integrated  nature  of  the  Miller  business  operations  and  the  inter-dependency  of  the  purchase  agreements,  the 
transactions are considered linked for the purpose of the acquisition accounting, and the provisions of AASB3 Business combinations 
have been applied as a combined transaction.

In accordance with accounting standards, the acquisitions have been completed on a provision basis and finalisation of the assessment 
of fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired may result in adjustments to the amounts disclosed in the table below.

Acquisition of Jacon
On  4  September  2019,  EMS  Group  Pty  Ltd,  EMS  International  Pty  Ltd  and  VMS  Engineering  Company  Ltd acquired  the  business 
operations  of  Jacon  (with  the  exception  of  the  operations  in  India).  The  Jacon  business  operated  through  a  number  of  legal  entities 
across different jurisdictions (Australia, Vietnam, Singapore and Indonesia). Jacon design, manufacture and supply concrete pumping, 
spraying and transportation equipment to the global mining and construction industries, operating in Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia and 
India.  Aligned  with  the  MAAS  Group  business  model  the  acquisition  provides  geographic  expansion  in  both  its  Construction  Materials 
and Civil and Construction Hire business divisions.

The total consideration for the acquisitions was $11,138,560 consisting of a cash settlement of $8,560,376, contingent consideration of 
$2,300,000, and deferred consideration of $278,184. The contingent consideration is payable over 3 years of which $250,000 is related 
to  staff  retention,  $1,050,000  related  to  the  retention  of  Eric  Rutten,  and  $1,000,000  related  to  the  recoverability  of  inventory  and  the 
retention of Eric Rutten. Following the acquisition, the contingent and deferred consideration were reduced by $1,000,000 and $40,524 
respectively,  and  the  change  in  fair  value  recognised  in  the  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  under  'Other 
income'.

Although there are a number of vendors and purchasers the acquisition is treated as a single transaction for accounting purposes due to 
the integrated contract and combined payment provisions. 

In accordance with accounting standards, the acquisitions have been completed on a provision basis and finalisation of the assessment 
of fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired may result in adjustments to the amounts in the table below.

Acquisition of Dubbo Sands
On  20  December  2019,  Regional  Sands  (Dubbo)  Pty  Ltd  acquired  the  business  known  as  Dubbo  Sands  for  a  cash  consideration  of 
$6,906,467.  The  business  assets  comprised  a  sand  quarry,  a  farm,  water  licence  and  plant  &  equipment  and  is  located  near  Dubbo 
NSW. The business was acquired in accordance with the business strategy of the Construction Materials division.

Acquisition-related costs
Acquisition-related costs (including stamp duty) totalling $1,350,532 that were not directly attributable to the issue of shares are included 
in Legal, Accounting and Consultants expense ($562,998) and Other expenses ($787,534) in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.

(b) Asset acquisitions
Acquisition of Bizitay Pty Ltd
On 30 August 2019, MAAS Group Developments Pty Ltd (MGD) executed and completed a share purchase agreement with Rutherford 
Holdings  Pty  Ltd  (Rutherford)  to  acquire  100%  of  the  shares  in  Bizitay  Pty  Ltd  (Bizitay)  for  the  total  consideration  of  $11,723,181 
(including acquisition costs of $723,181). Bizitay Pty Ltd is an investment vehicle for a number of commercial properties in New South 
Wales and Queensland. Bizitay generates earnings through short term leases on the properties however has no employees or operating 
systems. MGD will assess individually the commercial properties acquired and either redevelop or divest them at the appropriate time. 
The  acquisition  was  funded  by:  a  bank  loan  of  $8,000,000,  deferred  consideration  of  $1,000,000  and  a  cash  payment  of  $2,723,181 
(including acquisition costs).

With  reference  to  AASB  3  Business  combinations,  it  has  been  determined  that  the  acquisition  of  Bizitay  by  MGD  is  not  a  business 
combination and will be accounted for as an asset acquisition. The cost of the acquisition, including the consideration paid to the vendor, 
transaction costs, and liabilities assumed, will be allocated across the relative fair value of the assets acquired. 

Acquisition of Regional Group Resources Pty Limited (formerly See Resources Pty Ltd)
On 5 June 2020, Regional Group Australia Pty Limited (RGA) completed a share purchase agreement with See Group Holdings Pty Ltd 
to acquire 100% of the shares in Regional Group Resources Pty Limited (RGR) (formerly See Resources Pty Ltd ) plus the purchase of 
plant and equipment and inventory for the total consideration of $4,775,091. RGR holds three leases over quarrying assets and options 
to lease five quarrying assets in New South Wales. RGA will quarry these assets to produce construction materials for use by the group 
or to sell to third parties. The acquisition was fully funded by cash.

(c) Summary of acquisition - finalisation of provisional accounting
On  30  June  2019,  MAAS  Group  Holdings  Limited  entered  in  share  exchange  agreement  to  acquire  100%  of  the  share  capital  of 
Machinery  Sales  Pty  Ltd,  Large  Industries  Pty  Ltd,  EMS  Group,  EMS  International  Group  and  MAAS  Homes  Pty  Ltd  for  a  total 
consideration of $46,844,566. This was part of the broader merger transaction as described in note 2.

For 30 June 2019, this business combination had initially been accounted for on a provisional basis in accordance with AASB 3 Business 
combinations. Therefore the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially estimated by the consolidated entity taking 
into consideration all available information at the reporting date. Fair value adjustments on the finalisation of the business combination 
accounting is retrospective, where applicable, to the period the combination occurred and therefore may have an impact on the assets 
and liabilities, depreciation and amortisation reported.

MAAS Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 40. Business combinations and asset acquisitions (continued)

The consolidated entity has finalised the accounting for this business combination and in doing so reduced the fair value of inventories 
and the fair value of hire machinery and equipment.  These adjustments impacted the relevant tax balances and resulted in an increase 
in goodwill being recognised. As noted above the finalisation accounting is retrospective and therefore the adjustment  impacts the 30 
June 2019 financial year. These adjustments had no impact on the 30 June 2019 statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income. 

Details of the fair value of the net assets acquired as recorded on a provisional basis and the final position as impacting the fair value of 
net assets assets acquired as at 30 June 2019, are as follows:

Accounting policy for business combinations
The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to  account  for  business  combinations,  unless  it  is  a  combination  involving  entities  or 
businesses under common control, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.

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

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

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

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

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

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

MAAS Group Holdings Limited
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
30 June 2020

Note 40. Business combinations and asset acquisitions (continued)

Where the acquisition of entities that are deemed to be under common control occurs then consideration is required to determine the 
accounting acquirer. A new entity formed to effect a business combination through the issue of equity interests will not be regarded as 
the  accounting  acquirer,  rather  one  of  the  combining  entities  that  existed  prior  to  the  business  combination  shall  be  identified  as  the 
accounting  acquirer.  The  predecessor  value  method  is  adopted  for  business  combinations  under  common  control.  Under  the 
predecessor method:
●
●
●
●

assets and liabilities of the acquired entities are recognised at their previous carrying amounts;
no adjustments are made to reflect fair values;
no new assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the acquired entities are recognised at the date of the business combination;
any  non-controlling  interest  is  measured  as  a  proportionate  share  of  the  book  values  of  the  related  assets  and  liabilities  (as 
adjusted to achieve uniform accounting policies); and
comparative  amounts  are  restated  as  if  the  combination  had  taken  place  at  the  beginning  of  the  earliest  comparative  period 
presented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

To the members of MAAS Group Holdings Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of MAAS Group Holdings Limited (the Company) and its 
subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 
June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 
then ended, and notes to the financial report, including a summary of significant accounting policies 
and the directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of MAAS Group Holdings Limited, is in accordance with 
the Corporations Act 2001, including:  

(i)

Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its
financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

(ii)

Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.  Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial 
Report section of our report.  We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations 
Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) 
that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia.  We have also fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the 
time of this auditor’s report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.  

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information obtained at the date of 
this auditor’s report is information included in the Directors’ report and Remuneration report, but does 
not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

BDO Audit Pty Ltd ABN 33 134 022 870 is a member of a national association of independent entities which are all members of BDO 
Australia Ltd ABN 77 050 110 275, an Australian company limited by guarantee. BDO Audit Pty Ltd and BDO Australia Ltd are members of 
BDO International Ltd, a UK company limited by guarantee, and form part of the international BDO network of independent member 
firms. Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
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 preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease 
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

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

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website (http://www.auasb.gov.au/Home.aspx) at: 
http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar3.pdf
