MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

It is with great pleasure I present 
the MACA Limited (“MACA” or 
“the Company”) 2021 Annual Report, 
my fi rst in the role of Non-Executive 
Chairman.

MACA has seen improved performance 
during 2021 in our underlying business 
operations, again achieving record 
levels of revenue and work in hand, 
alongside a positive recovery in our 
EBITDA and NPAT margins. 

Our financial results before acquisition 
costs and Bluff costs were largely in 
line with guidance provided to the 
market, with revenue of $1,174m and 
EBITDA of $162.1m.

I commend our Executive Leadership 
Team, led by CEO Mike Sutton, for 
demonstrating strong leadership 
and commitment over the previous 
12 months, and in particular 
navigating the Company through the 
continuing COVID-19 pandemic. I also 
acknowledge all of our managers, 
employees and contractors who have 
diligently followed the evolving health 
advice given by Federal and State 
governments across all of our operating 
regions, negotiating the numerous 
border and travel restrictions. 

I express my gratitude to all 3,000 plus 
members of our workforce, including 
the 700 Mining West employees who 
joined us in February 2021, for the 
resilience they have demonstrated 
and their commitment to working 
with our clients to safely deliver our 
services. Health and safety remains 
the highest priority of MACA, and it is 
pleasing to see continued improvement 
in our safety statistics, with MACA’s 
total recordable injury frequency rate 
decreasing by 41% to 3.9 during 
the year. 

MACA’s acquisition of the Mining West 
business significantly enhanced the 
Company’s scale and diversity in our 
Mining division by adding four projects. 
The acquisition has performed in 
line with our high expectations since 
completion, which is a testament to the 
management, project and integration 
teams for their hard work. 

In November we farewelled Mr Andrew 
Edwards as Non-Executive Chairman of 
the MACA Board, and welcomed Sandra 
Dodds and Nick Marinelli as Non-
Executive Directors, who both bring a 
broad range of experience to the MACA 
Board, having extensive operational 
and management experience across 
the Australian infrastructure sectors. 

We consider that the positive 
market conditions will continue to 
persist across the mining and civil 
construction sectors, and the Company 
is actively pursuing many mining, 
civil and infrastructure opportunities. 
As previously announced, MACA is 
expecting revenue of $1.4 billion in 
FY22, of which $1.2 billion is currently 
secured. 

Your Directors have declared a final 
dividend of 2.5 cents per share, taking 
the total dividends for the year to 5.0 
cents fully franked. This dividend has 
been set having regard to the recent 
level of earnings and the desire to 
retain sufficient funds for equipment 
and working capital investments 
required to support future projects.

We will continue to position MACA for 
future years by pursuing appropriate 
organic and inorganic growth 
opportunities and diversification. 
MACA remains focused on operational 
productivity and other initiatives to 
improve and protect margins in our 
drive to bolster earnings sustainability. 
Importantly, the Company’s strong 
balance sheet provides MACA with 
the capacity to pursue the right 
opportunities to achieve its long-term 
growth strategy.

MACA’s 
acquisition 
of the Mining 
West business 
signifi cantly 
enhanced the 
Company’s 
scale and 
diversity

The acquisition has 
performed in line with 
our high expectations 
since completion.

On behalf of the Board, I would like 
to take this opportunity to thank our 
shareholders, as well as all of MACA’s 
other stakeholders, for their continued 
support, and in particular our dedicated 
people for their commitment and 
contribution during the year.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

It is with great pleasure that I present MACA’s Review of Operations for the 
financial year ending 30 June 2021.

Before commenting on the 
operational and financial results, 
I would like to thank all of our valued 
employees and contractors  for 
their significant contributions this 
year. The COVID-19 pandemic still 
continues to present challenges for 
our workforce with border and travel 
restrictions, however our people 
continue to respond positively to the 
evolving requirements and have made 
great contributions to help achieve 
another year of strong growth.

The successful acquisition of the 
Mining West business, completed in 
February 2021, has made a significant 
contribution to the strategic 
development of the Company, 
doubling the size of our Mining 
division. This acquisition has provided 
MACA with additional geographical 
spread, increased scale, capability 
and commodity diversification for our 
Mining Business. 

MACA’s statutory earnings were 
impacted by the one-off costs relating 
to the Mining West acquisition, in 
addition to costs of relating to the 
cessation of the Bluff mining project 
and other one-off costs relating 
to MACA’s discontinued Brazilian 
operations.

MACA continues to progress its 
diversification and growth strategy, 
delivering a strong result with record 
revenue and an increase in underlying 
earnings. 

1 The underlying result is a non-IFRS measure that 
is used to assess the underlying performance 
of the business, adjusted of one-off  items and 
discontinued operations. Non-IFRS measures 
have not been subject to audit or review.

Financial Year Highlights:

OUR PEOPLE

•  45% increase in revenue to 

$1,174 million

•  Underlying EBITDA1 increased to 
$162.1 million (up 40% on pcp)

•  Operating cash flows of 

$118.8 million (EBITDA cash 
conversion of 85%)

•  Cash balance of $122.3 million

•  Net debt of $180.2 million 

SAFETY

MACA is committed to delivering work 
safely and continuously improving our 
safety performance.

Creating a safe working environment 
for our employees remains our highest 
priority. Our total recordable injury 
frequency rate is 3.9 at 30 June 2021, 
down 41% from 6.6 at 30 June 2020. 

MACA was delighted to increase its 
employee base by c.700 in the year 
with the acquisition of the Mining 
West business. In excess of 96% of 
the Mining West workforce accepted 
employment with MACA.

Notwithstanding the new employees 
MACA has successfully added into 
the business, COVID continues to 
have a major impact on the Mining 
and Construction sector’s ability 
to source candidates domestically 
and locally, and these industries 
have experienced unprecedented 
competition for labour in FY21. 

MACA continues to positively react 
to labour market challenges, with 
many initiatives underway across the 
business, including: rate adjustments, 
one-off non-recurring incentive 
payments, further investment in 
trainees, apprenticeships and 
leadership programs, recruitment 
bonuses, employee culture surveys, 
deployment of a parental leave policy 
and increased employer branding on 
social media.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED

FINANCIAL 
REVIEW

OVERVIEW

MACA has seen improved 
performance during 2021 in our 
underlying business operations, 
again achieving record levels of 
revenue and work in hand, alongside 
a positive recovery in our EBIT 
and NPAT margins from FY20. Our 
underlying financial results were 
revenue of $1,173m, EBITDA of 
$162.1m ($140.4m reported) and 
NPAT of $38.8m ($20.7m reported). 
Statutory results included one-off 
Mining West acquisition costs, Bluff 
cessation costs and other items 
considered as one-off in nature, 
resulting in a statutory Net Profit 
After Tax of $20.7m.

BALANCE SHEET AND GEARING

With an increase in revenue and 
assets employed, and following 
an equity raising and acquisition 
facility to support the Mining West 
acquisition, the Group as at 30 June 
2021 remains in a strong financial 
position with a net debt position of 
$180.2m (2020: $73.4 million) and 
with cash on hand of $122.3m.

OUTLOOK

The improved performance of 
MACA’s enlarged Mining Division 
is expected to be maintained in 
the coming year as the renewed 
focus on operational performance 
continues to deliver results. Strong 
commodity prices, particular in gold 
and iron ore, continue to generate 
new opportunities that will support 
further growth. The Mining Division 
enters FY22 with c.$1.2bn of secured 
work in hand and MACA remains well 
positioned to add to its record order 
book.

Notwithstanding the strong 
commodity and sector outlook for 
Mining, MACA expects the labour 
market to remain tight as COVID-19 
restrictions continue to impact on the 
sector’s ability to source candidates 
domestically and locally. MACA will 
continue to positively react to these 
challenges, with initiatives underway 
across the business as previously 
noted.

The Civil and Infrastructure 
businesses benefited from increased 
activity in the development of new 
resource projects in FY21 which 
is expected to continue into FY22.  
Whilst Victoria continues to remain 
challenging due to the impacts and 
restrictions of COVID19, the division 
remains well positioned. MACA 
Interquip entered FY21 with $55m 
of work in hand and has recently 
received a $37m letter of intent from  
Norton Goldfields in relation to the 
Binduli North Heap Leach project.

OPERATING CASH FLOW AND 
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Operating cash flow for the year ended 
30 June 2021 was $118.8 million, 
with strong operational cash flows in 
the second half of the year. Capital 
expenditure for the financial year 
was $146.7 million, with equipment 
purchases funded by a combination of 
cash and equipment finance contracts. 
This is largely associated with growth 
capex for the Karlawinda, Sanjiv Ridge 
and Iron Ridge projects, in addition 
to the acquisition of the Mining West 
business (which was undertaken as an 
asset only acquisition, and funded by 
a combination of an equity raising and 
acquisition loan facility).

DIVIDEND

On 23 August 2021, the Board of 
MACA Limited declared a fully franked 
final dividend of 2.5c per share with 
a record date of 3rd September 2021 
and payment date of 17th September 
2021. This payout is consistent with 
our targeted guidelines and the 
Board’s objective to provide a return 
to shareholders whilst still retaining 
the financial capacity to support our 
growth plans. The total dividend paid 
during the year was $15.2 million 
(2020: $13.4 million).

ORDER BOOK

MACA’s work in hand has increased 
substantially over the previous two 
years, from $1.3bn at August 2019 to 
$3.1bn at August 2021. Our pipeline 
of organic growth opportunities of 
$11bn across the Mining, Civil & 
Infrastructure and Interquip divisions, 
of which $3.7bn relate to mining 
opportunities with existing clients, 
is expected to deliver material 
opportunities to MACA, some of which 
are anticipated to commence in FY22.

21

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Recent organisational changes have added 
management capability and streamlined 
reporting processes consistent with our 
growing business. These changes are 
expected to provide an increased focus 
on business opportunities together 
with optimising operational delivery. 
Improvements to metallurgical coal prices 
have enabled significant progress of the 
recovery of monies owed to MACA by 
Carabella, with the sales process for assets 
held as security progressing, and sales 
proceeds are expected to cover the carrying 
value of outstanding receivables. Any 
sales proceeds from the Carabella assets 
will have a positive impact on MACA’s 
cash flows in FY22. Additionally, the 
redeployment of fleet from the Bluff project 
late in FY21 to existing MACA projects is 
expected to benefit FY22.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS CONTINUED

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

MACA has structured its business reporting into segments, Mining & Crushing, 
Civil Construction & Infrastructure Maintenance and MACA Interquip. I have provided 
the highlights of each of the business units below:

MINING AND CRUSHING

Operational activities have grown significantly in mining, with MACA continuing its contract mining operations for 
Regis Resources at the Duketon South and Duketon North operations, with Ramelius Resources at the Mount Magnet, 
Edna May and Tampia projects, with Pilbara Minerals at the Pilgangoora lithium project, FQM Australia Nickel  at the 
Ravensthorpe Nickel Project, and for three new projects commencing in FY21 being Capricorn Karlawinda, Fenix Iron Ridge 
and Atlas Sanjiv Ridge.

Additionally, MACA has welcomed four new projects following the acquisition of the Mining West business, for Fortescue 
Metals Group at the Eliwana project, Karara Mining at the Karara project, Gruyere JV (Gold Fields and Gold Road) at the 
Gruyere project and Sino Iron at the Cape Preston project.

Operations ceased for Wiluna Mining at the Matilda project and for Carabella Resources on the Bluff PCI coal project (due to 
client voluntary administration).

Internationally, MACA continues to provide mining services at the Okvau Gold Project in Cambodia, which mobilsed 
and commenced operations in FY21. This is a credit to a dedicated team who have achieved this successful project 
commencement during a pandemic. MACA has ceased all Brazil operations and is currently winding up its in-country entities.

MACA continued to deliver on its crushing contracts for BHP Iron Ore during the year, which included a contract to crush 
blast-hole stemming material across its Western Australian Iron Ore operations, a contract to crush and screen up to 12Mtpa 
at the Mining Area C operation, and a contract to crush and screen up to 5Mtpa at the Eastern Ridge operations. Additionally, 
MACA performed crushing activities for Altas Iron at their Mt Webber operations which ceased in June 2021, for Fortescue 
Metals Group at their Iron Bridge and Eliwana operations for stemming material, and minor projects for Regis Resources and 
other gold producers.

CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

The Civil business continues to contribute to MACA’s growth and diversification, and has benefited from increased scale 
of the combined MACA business and a heightened focus on project delivery. MACA’s recent upgrade to R4/B3 conditional 
under the National Prequalification Scheme has enabled MACA to participate in and pursue larger road and bridge projects 
in capital cities for various road agencies around the country.

During FY21 the Civil division completed a section of the Karratha / Tom Price Road for Main Roads Western Australia, and a 
number of works packages for Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, including general earthworks, camp expansion, construction of a 
26km mine access road, construction of the explosive facility and further road upgrades. MACA also completed work for Atlas 
Iron on the Sanjiv Ridge haul road. The South West Gateway Alliance (of which MACA is a 10% participant) was awarded the 
Bunbury Outer Ring Road, a $852 million project to construct a 27km, four-lane, high-standard road from Forrest Highway 
near Australind to Bussell Highway, south of Bunbury.

In Victoria, the business has underperformed and as a result the business has recently been restructured and refocused 
on core skills. Positively, MACA was selected by Major Road Projects Victoria to undertake the Golf Links Road upgrade in 
Langwarrin South along with a number of minor works contracts with VicRoads and local Victorian shires.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL 
AND GOVERNANCE

MACA recognises the importance of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) outcomes in delivering long-term 
sustainable performance and shareholder value.

Our purpose is about Creating Sustainable Futures as a business, so we can improve the lives of our people and the 
communities in which we live and work. 

This means that we actively incorporate ESG outcomes into our risk-based decision-making process, and ensure we 
operate responsibly to minimise the impact to our people, our environment, and the communities in which we operate. 

As part of our Health, Safety and Environment management system we actively consider the lifecycle aspect to 
environmental decision-making to reduce MACA’s environmental footprint. We also ensure that we are exploring 
innovative ideas that will result in reducing emission discharges, wastes, energy usage and resource consumption.

Due to growth within our business, we are revising our policies and procedures to ensure that they are in line with the 
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the UN Sustainability Goals along with enhancing data collection of 
sustainability parameters for clear and transparent reporting in future years.  

ENVIRONMENTAL

MACA’s ISO AS/NZS 14001 certified Environmental 
Management System provides the framework to enhance 
environmental performance. We continued to implement 
environmental management plans and procedures to 
ensure compliance with all legal and client requirements 
regarding important issues such as waste, flora and 
fauna, hazardous substances, noise, water and cultural 
heritage management. We are pleased to report that there 
were no major environmental incidents, prosecutions or 
infringements during the reporting year.

MANAGING OUR ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS 

MACA recognises that climate change is a complex and 
challenging issue. We are committed to working with 
our clients to understand climate-related risks and 
opportunities to reduce the effects of carbon emissions 
across our operations. 

ENVIRONMENTAL EMISSIONS

In 2020/2021 MACA completed an assessment of our 
statutory Environmental Reporting requirements for our 
Australian Operations.

The majority of our operations are under the operational 
control of the client who is the registered reporting body, 
and as such MACA does not meet the requirements 
to report under the National Greenhouse and Energy 
Reporting scheme (NGERs) or the National Pollutant 
Inventory (NPI). MACA works hard to provide quality 
data to our clients to enable them to meet their reporting 
obligations.

CARBON EMISSIONS

MACA have adopted the principals, methodology and 
emission factors from the NGERs Act 2007 legislation 
suite to capture annual emission source data in order to 
calculate the carbon emissions that have been directly 
generated as a result of our project activities – these are 
known as Scope 1 emissions, and they have been reported 
to our clients who have included them within their own 
facility emission reports.

The primary source of Scope 1 emissions for MACA 
operations is diesel fuel used in road registered and 
off-road vehicles. Incidental sources of Scope 1 emissions 
also can include the used of unleaded petrol, acetylene, 
LPG, oils and greases.

Scope 2 emissions are from the purchased electricity 
for our offices and are also calculated using the state-
based grid factors from the NGERs legislation for the 
appropriate year.

DUMP TRUCK ELECTRIFICATION INVESTIGATION 

MACA is collaborating with Mitsui, AVL and other global 
industry leading battery and engineering companies to 
investigate the electrification of dump trucks, including 
replacement of diesel driveline with sustainable 
alternatives. The current focus is on battery design and 
packaging. In parallel, studies are being undertaken 
on cycle simulations to ensure that the program is 
economic.  Preliminary studies indicate that there is an 
economic application on certain mining activities.

MACA is also collaborating with SafeAI, a Silicon Valley 
based company to develop an autonomous proof of 
concept at one of our client’s existing operations. SafeAI 
is a global autonomous heavy equipment company 
focused on retrofitting heavy equipment for autonomous 
applications in mining and construction. SafeAI builds 
software with advanced, industry-specific AI to enable 
equipment owners to upgrade existing machines 
into self-operating robotic assets. If this program is 
successful, it will enable more efficient operation of 
machinery, which will in turn reduce diesel usage and the 
resulting emissions.

MACA places great importance on ensuring that 
there is minimal impact to the environments in 
which we operate. We appreciate and respect 
the significance of the cultural heritage sites and 
will continue to work with traditional landowners 
and our clients to ensure that we don’t disturb or 
negatively impact cultural heritage sites around us.

We are proud to report that we have had no 
significant environmental incidents or heritage 
breaches this financial year, and we will continue 
to take the necessary steps to ensure this statistic 
remains consistent in the future. 

  Waste and 
Recycling 

MACA actively engages in waste and recycling 
initiatives on our sites to reduce our environmental 
footprint. We have developed and implement 
waste management guidelines with the objective to 
minimise the generation of waste where possible, 
maximise the proportion of waste we reuse or recycle, 
avoid creating areas of contamination, abide by all 
regulatory requirements for waste management and 
dispose of non-recyclable solid waste appropriately.

DRILL STEEL RECYCLING 

MACA actively recycles drill consumables across our 
mining sites. A payment is received from recyclers for 
this initiative, and the money is donated back into the 
MACA Cancer 200 Ride for Research charity event.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE CONTINUED

GENERAL RECYCLING AND WASTE MINIMISATION

We seek to reuse or recycle as much as possible before sending to landfill or incineration. Recycling on site is undertaken 
whenever possible. Sites recycle scrap metals and return waste oils, batteries and tyres to contractors for repurposing or 
recycling. Operating in remote areas means we rely on single-use plastic and packaging for many essential items. We are 
working to eliminate single-use plastic drinking bottles at our sites and offices.

   Paperless 

Assessments 

Recently, MACA implemented Paperless Assessments which will be rolled out across all divisions by the end of December 
2021. This initiative will not only improve efficiency and enable Trainer Assessors to spend more time out in field, but it will 
also significantly decrease MACA’s paper usage across all our operations.

  Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation work is undertaken on land disturbed by mining or construction activities to ensure it is stable, safe and 
suitable for post-closure use. Planning for closure of a work area starts when MACA commences a project and continues 
throughout the project life to ensure that the impacts of the project can be managed in an environmentally, socially and 
economically responsible manner.

Progressive restoration of disturbed areas helps contribute to a reduction in our client’s financial liabilities.

  Water Management 

Management of freshwater resources continues to be a core focus area which is an issue that can impact directly on the 
environment and the communities in which we operate. While competition for water resources continues to increase 
globally due to multiple pressures (particularly climate change, population growth and pollution), MACA recognises the 
critical importance of water for community and ecosystem health.

Water is a raw material used in our operations and for site amenities. Depending on the site MACA operates on, the water 
we use may be drawn from surface water, groundwater, potable water and recycled water sources. Our focus at all sites is 
on reducing our dependency on potable water to limit our impact and increase our resilience to water limitations. We aim 
to achieve this by increasing the efficiency with which we use water and maximising our use of recycled water wherever 
possible. 

Our water usage strategy aims to balance our operational needs while at the same time protecting the quality and quantity 
of water remaining in the environment that is available to our host communities. Our ultimate aim is not to use more 
water than we need to, to effectively run our operations. At each site, our clients are tracking by source how much water is 
extracted, consumed or discharged as part of their licensing conditions.

SOCIAL
HEALTH AND SAFETY 

Our focus remains on ensuring that our People, Contractors and Visitors have a healthy and safe work environment, 
each and every day. 

We have an unrelenting focus on the health and safety of our people within the workplace. We work to actively identify 
areas of risk and exposure, and ensure our people are equipped with the latest information, tools and technology to 
keep them safe on the job. 

Our response to safety is authenticated by our 2021 Cultural Survey, in which our results from our people 
overwhelmingly agreed that safety is a priority for our business.

COVID-19 

OUR SAFETY MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant 
disruption to our homes and workplaces, and at times 
has placed our industry at risk. MACA has adopted all 
government guidelines, and has introduced a vaccination 
campaign, aimed at encouraging vaccination uptake 
amongst all of our workforce. We have been working 
closely with our clients to ensure  we are implementing 
practical solutions to assist with the global and economic 
impact that the virus has caused. We have acted swiftly 
in coordinating our efforts and utilised new technology 
to communicate with our workforce, to ensure our people 
are kept up-to-date and safe on the job.  

ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION

MACA makes payments to our 3,000+ employees in 
wages and benefits, to our suppliers and contractors, to 
our shareholders through dividends, to local, state and 
federal governments through our taxes, in addition to 
voluntary investments and donations to social projects 
across the communities where we operate.

MACA is committed to complying with tax laws in a 
responsible manner, to paying and reporting our taxes on 
time and to being transparent about the taxes we pay.

The MACA Working Safely Framework is comprised of a 
six pillar eighteen element framework, grouped under 
the headings of Leadership, Risk Management, Planning, 
Support and Documentation, Performance Evaluation and 
Continuous Improvement. It defines MACA’s eighteen 
Management Standards and aligns with AS4801 and 
ISO 45001.

The framework is designed to:

•  Integrate with and directly support how we work.

•  Ensure workplace risk management processes and risk 
controls are implemented and remain effective and 
reliable.

•  Set clear measurable expectations for leadership at all 

levels, especially for those supervising others.

•  Provide appropriate business consistency and 

support, allowing for efficient knowledge sharing and 
improvement across our varied operations.

•  Maintain efficient assurance processes that verify and 

improve how we operate as a business.

•  Continuously strive for project improvement.

Each element of the framework establishes our business 
intent which allow for client systems and external 
requirements, such as legislation to be mapped and, 
as required, incorporated into the MACA Management 
System while still meeting business expectations.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE CONTINUED

SAFETY ADVISORS AND ONGOING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS 

MACA recognises the importance of the ongoing development of our people to ensure we live up to our “Working Safely” 
vision. We have recently introduced a “Safety Advisor Development Pathway” for those within our workforce who are 
interested in moving into a Health and Safety role with MACA. This structured pathway ensures participants are equipped 
with the correct tools and knowledge to enhance safe practices on any project. 

CRITICAL RISK ASSESSMENTS

MACA is committed to our “Working Safely” vision. It’s worn on our sleeve as a permanent commitment to one another. 
Our STAR assessments were superseded this year by MACA’s new “Personal Task assessments” which are task and job 
specific, and more relevant to the work undertaken across the different business divisions.   

Our new Personal Task Assessments are a key part of our Risk Management Framework to achieve our “Working Safely” 
vision. 

INTRODUCTION OF THE WORKING SAFELY RULES 

In 2020, we introduced MACA’s new Safety working culture “Working Safely”. This year, we built on this culture further 
and introduced the 10 Working Safely Rules in which we encourage all our employees to live by in their day-to-day work. 
These rules are designed to ensure our workforce remain safe on the job. 

MENTAL WELLBEING 

We engage with our employees and promote a healthy, safe, and balanced lifestyle, in addition to striving to ensure that 
our workplaces provide an environment of mutual respect for fellow workers. We recognise the importance of Mental 
Health within our workforce, and actively provide resources, manuals, and initiatives across our operations to support 
mental wellbeing.

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

OUR PEOPLE 

FY21 has presented our people with 
many challenges as we navigate 
our way through COVID-19, the 
integration of the Downer Mining 
West acquisition and growth 
through new project awards.  

It takes a strong culture and strong 
leadership to provide the direction 
and support that is required to 
ensure we meet the expectations of 
our clients and shareholders. Our 
people are passionate, committed 
and driven to succeed.

At MACA we take our value of 
“People First” seriously.  We strive 
to consider this value in our actions 
and decision making. We ask a lot 
of our people, especially in these 
challenging times and in return we 
work hard to support them. 

FY21 saw the introduction of 
MACA’s first company wide 
employee engagement survey. 
Our aim was to gain a pulse of how 
our people feel about MACA and 
how we can do better and it was 
pleasing that we have managed 
to maintain that sense of family, 
support, people and care.

In FY21, MACA’s HR Strategy 
focused on a number of key pillars 
that will enhance and build the 
sophistication of our HR processes 
and systems, to support our 
leaders, and their people.  

These pillars included:

Gender Pay Parity

•  Organisational Design 

– ensuring MACA’s structure is 
strategically designed to support 
our growth plan

•  Organisational Development 
– to strengthen leadership 
capability

•  Systems 

– build and implement fit for 
purpose people systems

•  Attract & Retain 

– be creative and flexible in our 
approach to attract and retain 
talent

Diversity

MACA stands by its Diversity 
Policy and prides itself on being 
an equal opportunity employer. 
We continuously strive to achieve 
a more balanced and diverse  
workforce where people feel 
comfortable and highly engaged.

Gender and indigenous diversity 
continue to be a focus for MACA 
with a number of initiatives 
commencing in FY21 to address 
previous gaps.

Gender pay parity analysis is 
undertaken regularly and addressed 
immediately where practicable.

Paid Parental Leave Scheme

MACA’s paid parental leave scheme 
was approved and implemented 
in FY21 providing primary and 
secondary carer’s additional 
financial support whilst they take 
time out to welcome their new 
arrivals.

Increase Female Participation

MACA currently has an overall 
female participation rate of 15%.  
The education of managers within 
the business around unconscious 
bias has commenced and now 
forms part of our future leadership 
programs with a view to early 
education of new managers.  

Increase Indigenous 
Participation

MACA’s aim is to have a fair 
representation across our business 
of indigenous employment and 
contracting opportunity.  With a 
current indigenous participation rate 
of 4% across our entire business, 
our goal is to improve year on year.  
MACA have expanded our supplier 
base through mutually beneficial 
partnerships with indigenous 
contractors in FY21.  In addition, 
we have built great capability in 
the northwest within excess of 8% 
indigenous participation on our 
civil projects.

Working Spirit this year, in supporting 
a pathway for ADF-Veterans to 
transition into mining roles within our 
workforce. 

Murlpirrmarra Connection 

MACA has continued its partnership 
with Murlpirrmarra, supporting 
Aboriginal youth in remote 
communities of WA with educational 
opportunities.  

We recognise the importance of 
supporting different areas of the 
community, and we are proudly 
affiliated with Youth Focus, West 
Australian Symphony Orchestra (the 
arts), the Roy Hill Community foundation 
and the Starlight foundation. 

GOVERNANCE

MACA is committed to a governance culture that aims to protect shareholder rights, enhance disclosure and transparency 
(both within the company and to external stakeholders) and facilitates the effective functioning of the board. We 
believe that by operating with a strong focus on corporate governance, we will enhance MACA’s sustainable long-term 
performance and value creation for all stakeholders.

The Board of Directors are responsible for MACA’s corporate governance framework, which ensures that the Company’s 
obligations and responsibilities to its various stakeholders are fulfilled.

The Company’s 2021 Corporate Governance Statement reports on MACA’s governance practices, and during the FY21 
reporting period, the Directors believe that MACA’s governance arrangements have been consistent with the fourth 
edition of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, with 
expectations noted where relevant.

MACA has in place charters, policies, and procedures (published on our website) which are reviewed and revised as 
appropriate to reflect changes in law and  developments in corporate governance. MACA also provides a risk management 
framework in accordance with ISO31000: Risk Management Principles and Guidelines, which allows the Group to identify 
potential change and manage the associated risks and opportunities, to meet or exceed the organisational strategic and 
operational objectives. Additionally, in FY21, MACA delivered its first Modern Slavery Statement.

The Board’s Risk Committee is responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management framework.

respect of a contract insuring the directors of the Company, 
the company secretary and all executive and non-executive 
directors of the Company and any related body corporate 
against a liability incurred as such a director, company 
secretary or executive officer to the extent permitted by the 
Corporations Act 2001.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of 
the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, 
indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of 
the Company or of any related body corporate against a 
liability incurred by an officer or auditor. In accordance with a 
confidentiality clause under the insurance policy, the amount 
of the premium paid to insurers has not been disclosed. This is 
permitted under s300(9) of the Corporations Act 2001.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY

No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings 
on behalf of the Company or intervene in any proceedings 
to which the Company is a party for the purpose of taking

those proceedings.

The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during 
the year.

ASIC CI 2016/191 ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 
49 and forms part of the directors’ report for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2021.

RISK

MACA’s risk management framework is embedded within existing 
processes and is aligned to the Group’s strategic business 
objectives. Given the markets and the geographies in which the 
Group operates, a wide range of risk factors have the potential to 
affect the achievement of these objectives. For further information 
in relation to the Group’s risk management framework, refer to 
the Corporate Governance Statement.

Set out below is an overview of the more significant business 
risks facing MACA and the approach taken to managing those 
risks. The factors identified below are not necessarily listed in 
order of importance and are not intended as an exhaustive list of 
all the risks and uncertainties associated with the MACA business.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

HEALTH, SAFETY, 
SUSTAINABILITY AND 
ENVIRONMENT RISK

The industry sectors in 
which we operate involve a 
high degree of operational 
risk. MACA believes it takes 
all reasonable precautions 
to manage safety and 
environmental risks to ensure 
the continued sustainability 
of the business. However, 
there can be no assurance 
that the Group will avoid 
significant costs, liability 
and penalties or criminal 
prosecution. This risk is 
mitigated by progressively 
improving on already high 
safety performance standards 
across the business and by 
maintaining independently 
reviewed health and safety, 
environmental and quality 
certifications.

PROJECT DELIVERY RISK

ORDER BOOK RISK

DEMAND RISK

The execution and delivery of 
projects involves judgment 
regarding the planning, 
development and operation 
of complex operating 
facilities and equipment. 
Some parts of MACA’s 
business are involved in 
large-scale projects that 
may occur over extended 
time periods. As a result, 
the Group’s operations, 
cash flows and liquidity 
could be affected if MACA 
miscalculates the resources 
or time needed to complete 
a project, if it fails to meet 
contractual obligations, or 
if it encounters delays or 
unspecified conditions. MACA 
maintains a strict project 
monitoring regime, proactive 
management and decision 
making to mitigate project 
delivery risks.

Generally in the mining 
industry, most contracts 
can be terminated for 
convenience by the 
client at short notice and 
without penalty, with the 
client paying for all work 
completed to date, unused 
material and in most cases 
demobilisation from the 
site and redundancies. As 
a result, there can be no 
assurance that work in hand 
will be realised as revenue 
in any future period. MACA 
seeks to manage this risk 
by being selective in the 
contracts that it enters into 
and always seeks to extend 
contracts where possible 
in an effort to maximise its 
return on capital.

MACA is a contractor 
operating predominantly in 
the mining resources and 
civil sectors. As a result, 
failure to obtain contracts, 
delays in awards of contracts, 
cancellations or terminations 
of contracts, delays in 
completion, changes in 
economic conditions and the 
volatile and cyclical nature 
of commodity prices means 
that the demand for MACA’s 
goods and services can vary 
markedly over relatively short 
periods. Accordingly, changes 
in market conditions could 
impact MACA’s financial 
performance. The Group 
seeks to manage demand risk 
as best it can by maintaining 
a diversified client base and 
commodity mix and having a 
proportion of equipment and 
labour on hire.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

COMPETITION RISK

CONTRACT PRICING RISK

When MACA acquires a business there 
is a risk of not being able to realise 
or sustain expected benefits of the 
acquisition. The goodwill represents 
the amounts paid for the business, less 
the fair value of the net assets acquired. 
MACA, at least annually, reviews the 
carrying value of goodwill and may 
incur impairment charges related to 
goodwill if the businesses or markets 
they serve deteriorate. In addition, 
businesses that MACA acquires may 
have liabilities that MACA was unaware 
of in the course of performing due 
diligence investigations. Any such 
liabilities may have material adverse 
impact on MACA’s business and 
financial position. As part of the due 
diligence process, MACA thoroughly 
reviews all contracts to mitigate the 
risk of acquiring onerous contracts 
and change in control provisions, and 
historic liabilities and integration risks.

The market in which MACA operates is 
highly competitive, which may result 
in downward pressure on prices and 
margins. If MACA is unable to compete 
effectively in its markets, it runs the risk 
of losing market share. MACA continues 
to focus on delivering quality services 
to make us a contractor of choice as a 
means of mitigating this risk.

COUNTERPARTY RISK

MACA derives its revenue from a 
number of customers. In the event that 
any of these customers fails to pay, 
reduces production or scales back 
operations, terminates the relationship, 
defaults on a contract or fails to renew 
their contract with MACA, this may 
have an adverse impact on the financial 
performance and/or financial position 
of MACA. MACA seeks to manage this 
risk by regularly monitoring material 
counterparties and its exposures 
and seeks additional security when 
appropriate.

MACA has a mixed exposure to contract 
types. However, if the Group materially 
underestimates the cost of providing 
services, equipment, or plant, there is 
a risk of a negative impact on MACA’s 
financial performance. MACA follows a 
proven tender review process to reduce 
the risk of under-pricing contracts.

CYBER SECURITY

The potential for malicious cyber 
security attacks resulting in the misuse 
and release of sensitive information 
poses and ongoing and real risk to 
companies that operate in the 21st 
century. MACA continues to progress 
its ICT Strategy, of which one initiative 
includes the continual review of our 
cyber security and ICT maturity. Gaps 
and vulnerabilities are addressed on an 
ongoing basis.

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

43

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

LIQUIDITY RISK

CURRENCY FLUCTUATION

The risk of MACA not being able to meet its financial 
obligations as they fall due is managed by maintaining 
adequate cash reserves and available borrowing 
facilities, as required. Errors or unforeseen changes 
in actual and forecast cash flows that then create a 
mismatch against the maturity profiles of financial assets 
and liabilities could have a detrimental effect on the 
Group’s liquidity. The Group’s approach to managing 
liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always 
have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, 
under both normal and stressed conditions, without 
incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the 
Group’s reputation.

PARTNER RISK

MACA, in some cases, may undertake services through 
and participate in, joint ventures or partnering/alliance 
arrangements. The success of these partnering activities 
depends on the satisfactory performance by MACA’s 
partners. The failure of partners to meet performance 
obligations could impose additional financial and 
performance obligations that could cause significant 
impact on MACA’s reputation and financial results. MACA 
completes due diligence on potential partners prior to 
forming any business relationship and regularly monitors 
these relationships.

LABOUR COSTS AND AVAILABILITY

Labour represents a significant portion of operating 
expenses. In order to compete for  work and  to service  
clients, the  Group needs to be able to continue to attract 
and retain skilled employees. Consequently, the Group is 
exposed to increased labour  costs in markets where the 
demand  for labour is strong. Within more stable labour  
markets, the group’s labour costs are typically protected 
by rise and fall mechanisms within client contracts, which 
help neutralise the impact of rising labour costs.

As a Group with international operations, MACA is exposed 
to fluctuations in the value of the Australian dollar versus 
other currencies. As MACA’s consolidated financial results 
are reported in Australian dollars, if MACA generates sales 
or earnings or has assets and liabilities in other currencies, 
the translation into Australian dollars for financial reporting 
purposes can result in a significant increase or decrease in 
the amount of those sales or earnings and net assets. MACA 
uses cash backed deposits to mitigate some of the US dollar 
currency risk. Currently the company has unhedged exposure 
to the Brazilian Real, in addition to United States Dollars 
(Cambodian Mining Contract).

Other material risks that could aff ect 
MACA include:

•  Public liability risk incurred maintaining 
road assets requiring identified defects 
to be closed out within a specified 
timeframe;

•  A major operational failure or disruption at 
key facilities or to communication systems 
which interrupt MACA’s business;

•  Changing government regulation including 
tax, occupational health and safety, and 
changes in policy and spending;

•  Loss of reputation through poor project 
outcomes, unsafe work practices, 
unethical business practices, and not 
meeting the market’s expectation of its 
financial performance;

•   Operating in international markets, 

potentially exposing MACA to country 
specific adverse economic conditions, 
civil unrest, conflicts, bribery and corrupt 
practices;

•  Interest rates in the ordinary course of 

business; and

•  Loss of key Board, management or 

operational personnel.

2.0  REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

The Board oversees the remuneration arrangements of the KMP. 

In performing this function the Remuneration Committee reviews the remuneration packages of all Directors, the Chief 
Executive Officer and other Executives (collectively the KMP). 

The Committee makes recommendations to the Board on an annual basis with benchmarking against comparable industry 
packages and adjusting to recognise the specific performance of both the company and the individual. 

The Remuneration Committee may also engage an external remuneration consultant to review the levels of senior executive 
and non-executive remuneration. The Remuneration Committee engaged independent third party consultants in the year, in 
relation to Non-Executive Director fee benchmarking and incentive design.

3.0  2021 EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK

Remuneration practices are continuously developed in line with the Company’s business demands, industry conditions 
and overall market trends. The primary goal is to link executive remuneration with the achievement of MACA’s business 
and strategic objectives with the aim to increase shareholder value over the short and longer term. The nature and 
amount of compensation for executive KMP is designed to retain and stimulate individuals on a market competitive basis.

Remuneration Framework

Total fi xed remuneration (TFR)

Short-term incentive (STI)

Long-term incentive (LTI)

•  TFR takes into account similar 
positions in peer companies, 
length of service, experience and 
contribution

•  Peer companies are those with 
broadly similar revenue  and in 
related industries

•  TFR is reviewed annually

Financial metrics comprise some or all of:
•  Net profit after tax - company and divisional
•  Earnings per share

Non-financial metrics comprise some or all of:
•  Safety indicators - LTI and TRIFR
•  Personal performance
•  Maximum STI is 15 - 60% of TFR depending on 

the individual

•  Relative TSR using a benchmark 
index namely the S&P/ASX 
Small Ordinaries Accumulation 
Index (XSOAI) measured over a 3 
year period (100% component)

•  Number of performance rights 

issued up to 50% of fixed annual 
remuneration divided by the 
independently assessed value of 
a performance right

4.0  COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND THE LINK TO REMUNERATION

Key Performance Indicators (‘KPIs’) for both short term and long-term Executive incentive schemes are linked to 
the Company’s strategic and business objectives and as a result, pay outcomes are directly aligned with Company 
performance against these objectives.

The following Company performance measures are among those that may be included in incentive plans for relevant

5.0  EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION OUTCOMES

5.1  MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO ARRANGEMENTS

Mr Sutton’s remuneration package as CEO was determined by benchmarking it against that paid to CEOs in similar 
organisations. The remuneration package comprises the following components:

-  Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) is $706,500 per annum inclusive of superannuation.      

-  An STI which includes the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus of up to 60% of total fixed remuneration, subject 
to achieving performance hurdles. Mr Suttons’ STI plan has been aligned with other senior executives under similar 
plan rules with KPIs that align to profitable performance and safety. The CEO’s STI Plan comprises 40% for key financial 
KPI’s, 30% for safety KPI’s and 30% for personal KPI’s. The financial KPIs comprise Net Profit after Tax and Earnings per 
Share growth. The safety KPIs are based on the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) and the Total Recordable Injury 
Frequency Rate (TRIFR).

There was no STI payable for Mr Sutton for 2021 - refer 5.4 below.

-  An LTI under which Mr Sutton may receive share performance rights convertible into fully paid shares, subject to 

performance criteria being met.              

47

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

5.2  TOTAL FIXED REMUNERATION (TFR)

All Executives received TFR as outlined in page 53 of this report. TFR comprises base salary and superannuation plus the 
use of a company motor vehicle or motor vehicle allowance.

Fixed pay has been reviewed and set against peer companies with whom MACA competes. MACA also benchmarks 
through industry surveys and reports and may seek external advice for KMP remuneration.

5.3  SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (STI PLAN)

Key features of the STI Plan are outlined in the table below.

Objective 

KPIs are set to encourage a profit and safety driven culture with the ultimate aim of driving 
Stakeholder returns. The STI payments are structured to recognize and motivate employees to 
align their performance with the Company’s goals. The amount of bonus actually earned will 
depend on performance against predetermined KPIs with payment commencing upon reaching 
those hurdles.

Eligibility 

All Executive key management personnel.

At risk payments  

2020: The STI is a component of ‘at risk’ pay provided to Executives and KMP.

Performance conditions  Financial and safety targets are all agreed with the Board and personal KPIs are set in 

consultation with the relevant Executive.

Each KPI is weighted according to its importance in driving profitable performance and returns to 
Shareholders. In order to be eligible to receive an STI there is a minimum financial requirement 
or gate which must be met before other KPI’s are considered.

KPIs for the CEO include Earning per Share (EPS), Net Profit after Tax (NPAT), Lost Time 
Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) and personal 
assessment.

KPIs for other KMP include Net Profit after Tax (NPAT), business operating unit profit 
performance, Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate 
(TRIFR) and personal assessment.

Setting of KPIs 

Financial and safety targets are all agreed with the Board and personal KPIs are set in 
consultation with the relevant Executive.

Assessment of KPIs 

Performance is measured quantitatively and progress against key targets measured at half year 
and full year.

Trigger for payment 

Any performance target met will trigger the calculation of total or part payment of the STI’s. 
The board may exercise its discretion in relation to the payment of STI’s.

Cessation of employment  STI forfeited if an Executive or KMP resigns or is terminated before the payment date. In 
exceptional circumstances this may be reviewed by the Board.

5.4    STI OUTCOMES

No STI was paid to any member of the senior executive team.

5.5    LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTI PLAN)

Key features of the LTI Plan are outlined in the table below.

Overview of the LTI Plan  The Plan offers Executive KMP performance rights with the opportunity to receive fully paid 
ordinary shares in MACA Limited for no consideration, subject to specified time restrictions, 
continued employment and performance conditions being met. Each performance right will 
entitle participants to receive one fully paid ordinary share at the time of vesting.

Objective 

The Plan is designed to assist with Executive and KMP retention and to incentivise employees to 
maximise returns and earnings for Shareholders.  

Eligibility 

Executive KMP as determined by the Board.

At risk payments  

The LTI is a component of ‘at risk’ pay offered to Executive KMP. The number of performance 
rights issued will depend on performance against predetermined KPIs with vesting occurring 
upon reaching those hurdles.

The number of performance rights that vest is linked to relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR).

Shareholder Return (TSR) using a benchmark index namely the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries 
Accumulation Index (XSOAI) measured over a 3 year period.

TSR Comparator Group   Assessed 100% against TSR using a benchmark index namely the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries 

Accumulation Index (XSOAI).

Assessment of KPIs

Trigger for vesting 

Assessed 100% against TSR using a benchmark index namely the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries 
Accumulation Index (XSOAI). The Board has discretion to not approve the vesting of the rights if 
the TSR is negative. 

Cessation of employment  LTI forfeited if an Executive resigns or is terminated before the payment date. In exceptional 

circumstances this may be reviewed by the Board. 

49

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

 
 
 
5.6    LTI OUTCOMES

None of the applicable hurdles were met for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021 (3 year period) for rights to vest in the 
LTI performance conditions above for Executives and KMP. Accordingly, no performance rights vested during FY21.

5.7    UNVESTED ENTITLEMENTS

risk of participating in unvested entitlements under any equity-based remuneration schemes.

5.8    KMP OPTIONS

2021 no options were held by KMP. 

5.9    KMP PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

During the 2021 financial year 2,843,084 (2020: 1,906,909) performance rights were granted under the Group’s 
Performance Rights Plan and 1,529,493 (2020: 1,452,208) performance rights were forfeited. Subject to the achievement 
of designated performance hurdles, these performance rights will vest in June 2023. As at 30 June 2021 there were 
4,004,169 (2020: 2,690,578) performance rights outstanding.

REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED

7.0   NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS FEES

Non-executive Directors fees are determined within an aggregate directors fee pool which is periodically recommended 
for approval to shareholders. The current aggregate directors’ fee pool is $600,000. This provides for any future increases 
to Non-executive Directors fees and to allow for any changes to the Board make up and potential increases in the number 
of Non-executive Directors.

Fees paid to Non-executive Directors are set at levels which reflect both the responsibilities of, and time commitments 
required from, each Non-executive Director to discharge their duties and are not linked to the financial performance of the 
Company. Non-executive Directors fees are reviewed annually by the Board to ensure they are appropriate for the duties 
performed, including Board committee duties, and are in line with the market. Other than statutory superannuation, Non-
executive Directors are not entitled to retirement benefits.

FINANCIAL REPORT

SECTIONS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1  REPORTING ENTITY

1.3  BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

  MACA Limited (MLD) is a limited company incorporated 
in Australia. The addresses of the Company’s registered 
office and principal places of business are disclosed in 
the Corporate Directory. The principal activities of the 
Company are described in the Directors’ Report. The 
financial statements were authorised for issue by the 
Directors on the 24th of September 2021.

1.2  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements are general purpose financial 
statements that have been prepared in accordance with 
Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting 
Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements 
of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Company is a for profit 
entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian 
Accounting Standards. These financial statements also 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board (IASB).

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting 
policies that the AASB has concluded would result in 
financial statements containing relevant and reliable 
information about transactions, events and conditions. 
Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards 
ensures that the financial statements and notes also 
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies 
adopted in the preparation of these financial statements 
are presented below and have been consistently applied 
unless otherwise stated. 

These 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 selected non-current assets, financial assets 
and financial liabilities. These financial statements 
are presented in Australian dollars and rounded to the 
nearest thousand ($’000), unless otherwise stated, 
in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in 
Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the 
assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of MACA Limited 
(the ‘Company’) as at 30 June 2021 and the results of 
all subsidiaries for the year then ended. MACA Limited 
and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these 
financial statements as the “Group” or “Consolidated”.

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the 
Company has control. The Company controls an 
entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable 
returns from its involvement with the entity and has 
the ability to affect those returns through its power 
to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are 
fully consolidated from the date on which control is 
transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from 
the date that control ceases.

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

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

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 Group. Losses incurred by the 
Group are attributed to the non-controlling interest 
in full.

SECTIONS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

1.4  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE 

SECTION 2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES 

GROUP DURING THE YEAR

AND JUDGEMENTS

Initial adoption of AASB 2018-6: Amendments to 
Australian Accounting Standards - Defi nition of a 
Business

AASB 2018-6 amends and narrows the definition of a 
business specified in AASB 3: Business Combinations, 
simplifying the determination of whether a transaction 
should be accounted for as a business combination 
or an asset acquisition. Entities may also perform a 
calculation and elect to treat certain acquisitions as 
acquisition of assets. 

The standard listed above did not have any impact on 
the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not 
expected to significantly affect the current or future 
period. 

1.5  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR APPLICATION IN 

FUTURE PERIODS 
A number of new accounting standards, amendments to 
standards and interpretations are not yet effective for 
the 30 June 2021 reporting period and have not been 
early adopted in preparing these financial statements. 

The Directors’ assessment of these new accounting 
standards (to the extent relevant to the Group) and 
interpretations is that they are not expected to have a 
material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

1.6  COMPARATIVE FIGURES

  When required by Accounting Standards, comparative 

figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in 
presentation for the current financial year.

  When the Group applies an accounting policy 

retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement 
or reclassifies items in its financial statements, a 
statement of financial position as at the beginning of the 
earliest comparative period will be disclosed. There is 
no adjustment to comparative figures for the acquisition 
of Mining West.

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgments 
incorporated into the financial report based on historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates 
assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are 
based on current trends and economic data, obtained both 
externally and within the Group.

KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Impairment - Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group assesses impairment at the end of each reporting 
period by evaluating conditions and events specific to 
the Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers.  
Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed 
using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various 
key assumptions.  

The value in use calculations with respect to assets require 
an estimation of the future cash flows expected to arise 
from each cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate 
to apply to these cash flows to calculate net present value. 
The Directors have determined that there is no adjustment 
required to the carrying value of assets in the current 
reporting period.

Impairment - Trade and Other Receivables and Loans to 
Other Companies 

As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s trade and other receivables 
and loans to other companies amounted to $325.2m (30 June 
2020: $229.6m), before recognition of any impairment.

Based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, trade 
receivables and loans to other companies exhibit different 
loss patterns for each revenue segment. Where the Group 
has common customers across the different geographical 
regions it applies credit evaluations firstly by segment, where 
payment profiles exceed 12 months. Receivables identified 
within each revenue segment, are then evaluated on an 
individual basis. Management has assessed and impaired 
receivables by $4.2m, being bad debts written off $3.2m and 
a provision for doubtful debts of $0.9m (from discontinued 
operations), through the profit and loss. There was no further 
impairment to trade and loan receivables with Carabella 
Resources Pty Ltd in the current period.

In the assessment of loans to other companies, no overdue 
payments were outstanding for greater than 12 months with 
exception of the loan to Carabella Resources Pty Ltd, where 
we have first ranking securities over the company assets.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

2.0  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Taxation

Estimation of Useful Lives of Assets

Balances disclosed in the financial statements and the notes 
thereto, related to taxation, are based on best estimates. 
These estimates take into account both the financial 
performance and position of the Group as they pertain 
to current income taxation legislation, and the Group’s 
understanding thereof. No adjustment has been made for 
pending or future taxation legislation. The current income 
tax position represents that best estimate, pending an 
assessment by the Australian Taxation Office.

The estimation of the useful lives of property, plant and 
equipment is based on historical experience and is reviewed 
on an ongoing basis.  The condition of the assets is assessed 
at least annually against the remaining useful life with 
adjustments made when considered necessary.

Business Combinations

Management uses valuation techniques in determining 
the fair values of the various elements of a business 
combination. See sections 4.5 Intangible Assets - Customer 
Contracts and 6.1 Business Combinations.

SECTION 3 RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group and includes disclosures explaining the Group’s results for 
the year, segment information, capital and leasing commitments, taxation, profit/(loss) from discontinued operations and EPS.

3.1  REVENUE

Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition
Under AASB 15, revenue is recognised when the 
performance obligations are considered met, which can be 
at a point in time, or over time, depending on the various 
service offerings. Major activities of the Group are detailed 
below.

Contract Services
Contracts for services includes contract mining, drill and 
blast, excavation, earthmoving, crushing, infrastructure and 
road construction and maintenance. 

The relevant performance obligations are fulfilled over time 
as the Group enhances assets which the customer controls, 
for which the Group does not have an alternative use and for 
which the Group has a right to payment for performance to 
date and as such revenue is recognised over time. 

Revenue is measured and recognised monthly using the 
outputs method, either based on units of production 
(typically for contract mining services, which is the largest 
segment in the Group) or on the achievement of milestones 
(generally for civil and infrastructure projects) at agreed 
contract rates that are aligned with the stand alone selling 
prices for each performance obligation. The majority of the 
Group’s revenue (i.e. in respect of mining services) is paid 
one month in arrears and therefore gives rise to a process 
of invoicing or accruing revenue monthly, based on the 
achievement of contractually agreed production related 
measures, as noted above. 

For rental of equipment, as the customer simultaneously 
receives and consumes the benefits, the Group has an 
enforceable right to payment, based on agreed contract 
rates, and as such the performance obligation is fulfilled 
over time. 

The total transaction price for contract services may include 
variable consideration. Variable consideration is only 
recognised and recorded in the accounts to the extent that it 
is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of 
revenue recognised will not occur. 

Sale of Inventory
Revenue recognised at a point in time is only 0.4% of the 
Group’s trading revenue. This is noted under note 3.2 
Operating Segments and refers only to Interquip revenues 
of which 5% of their trading revenues comprise the sale of 
inventory. At the point of recognising the revenue the Group 
has agreed the price of the transaction, transferred the 
physical asset and the customer has accepted control of the 
asset and its intended use of the asset.

Other Revenue
Other revenue and other income primarily includes profit or 
loss on sale of assets or investments, dividends received, 
government rebates (including diesel fuel rebates) and 
interest income which is recognised on an accrual basis.

An amount of $885k JobKeeper payment was received in 
FY21 from the Government for the Civil and Infrastructure 
businesses in Victoria that were significantly affected by 
COVID-19. Including this JobKeeper payment, the COVID-19 
impact has contributed to the loss-making of Civil and 
Infrastructure segment disclosed in note 3.2.

All dividends received are recognised as revenue when the 
right to receive the dividend has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services 
tax (GST).

3.2  OPERATING SEGMENTS

Identifi cation of Reportable Segment

The Group identifies its operating segments based on 
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board 
of Directors (chief operating decision maker) in assessing 
performance and determining the allocation of resources.

The Group operates in three businesses and currently 
three geographical segments. The business segments are 
for the provision of contract mining, civil & infrastructure, 
and structural, mechanical and piping (through Interquip) 
services to the resource sector. The three geographical 
segments being Australia, Brazil and Cambodia. Operations 
in Brazil have been discontinued since the prior year and 
are presented separately in the table below. Operations in 
Cambodia have commenced in the current year.

Basis of Accounting for Purposes of Reporting 
by Operating Segments

Accounting Policies Adopted

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts reported to the Board 
of Directors as the chief operating decision maker, are in 
accordance with accounting policies that are consistent to 
those adopted in the financial statements of the Group.

Inter-segment transactions

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially 
recognised at the consideration received net of transaction 
costs. If inter-segment loans receivable and payable are 
not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair

value based on market interest rates. This policy represents 
a departure from that applied to the statutory financial 
statements.

Segment assets

Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset 
is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of 
economic value from the asset. In the majority of instances, 
segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their 
nature and physical location.  

Unless indicated otherwise in the segment assets note, 
investments in financial assets, deferred tax assets and 
intangible assets have not been allocated to operating 
segments.

Segment liabilities

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct 
nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the 
operations of the segment. Segment liabilities include trade 
and other payables and certain direct borrowings.

Unallocated items

The following items of revenue and expense are not 
allocated to operating segments as they are not considered 
part of the core operations of any segment:

-   Dividends, interest, foreign exchange, head office and 
other administration expenditure.

3.4  CAPITAL AND LEASING COMMITMENTS

Accounting Policies

Leases

AASB 16 Leases was adopted by the Group at 1 July 2019 and contains significant changes to the accounting treatment 
of leases around how to recognise, measure and disclose. The new standard provides a single lessee accounting model, 
requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases, with exception of short term (less than 12 months) and low 
value leases. 

The Group manages its owned and leased assets to ensure there is an appropriate level of equipment to meet its current 
obligations and to tender for new work. The decision as to whether to lease or purchase an asset is dependent on the finance 
available at the time and the residual risk of ownership following the anticipated completion of the project.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally 
enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net 
settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the 
respective asset and liability will occur.  Deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of 
set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to 
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either 
the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it 
is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation 
and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur 
in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax 
assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is 
not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these 
circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of 
acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the statement of financial 
position are shown inclusive of GST. 

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cashflows on a 
gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and 
financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash 
flows.

3.6  TAXATION

Accounting Policies

Income tax

The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises 
current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax 
expense (income).

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss 
is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using 
applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially 
enacted, as at the end of the reporting period.  Current tax 
liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts 
expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation 
authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred 
tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year 
as well as unused tax losses. Current and deferred income 
tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity 
instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that 
are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based 
on temporary differences arising between the tax bases 
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the 
financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where 
amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions 
are available.  No deferred income tax will be recognised 
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a 
business combination, where there is no effect on accounting 
or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax 
rates that are expected to apply to the period when the 
asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates 
enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting 
period.  Their measurement also reflects the manner in which 
management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount 
of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and 
unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is 
probable that future taxable profit will be available against 
which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments 
in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, 
deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where 
the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be 
controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in 
the foreseeable future.

3.7  PROFIT / (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Accounting Policies

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity 
that either has been disposed of, ceased operation or is 
classified as held for sale, and 

- represents a separate major line of business or 
geographical area of operations;

- is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate 
major line of business or geographical area of operations; or

- is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Profit or loss from discontinued operations, including prior 
year components of profit or loss, is presented in a single 
amount in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and 
Other Comprehensive Income. This amount comprises the 
post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and the

4.1  TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES, LOANS TO OTHER COMPANIES AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Credit Risk 

The Group has approximately 14% (2020: 22%) of post-impairment credit risk with a single counterparty or group of 
counterparties. Failure or default of a major counterparty would have a material impact on earnings. Management of credit 
risk is discussed in Section 5.3 Financial Risk Management.  The class of assets described as “trade and other receivables” 
and “loans to other companies” are considered to be the main source of credit risk related to the Group. 

The following table details the Group’s trade and other receivables exposed to credit risk (prior to collateral and other credit 
enhancements) with ageing analysis and impairment provided for thereon.  Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the 
debt has not been settled within the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or counterparty to 
the transaction.  Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are 
provided for where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group.

The balance of receivables that remain within initial trade terms (as detailed in the table) are considered to be of acceptable 
credit quality.

4.2  INVENTORY AND WORK IN PROGRESS (WIP)

Accounting Policies

Inventory and work in progress are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of manufactured products 
includes direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate portion of variable and fixed overheads. Overheads are applied on 
the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned on the basis of weighted average costs. 

A WIP Liability is recognised when the customer pays consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue 
as set out in Note 3.1(a). A WIP Liability would also be recognised if the Group has an unconditional right to receive the 
consideration before the Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be 
recognised.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

4.4  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Accounting Policies

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at 
cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any 
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value 
(being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged 
between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length 
transaction), less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of 
land and buildings are credited to a revaluation surplus 
in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the 
same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly 
in equity, all other decreases are charged to the statement 
of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between 
depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of 
the asset charged to the statement of profit or loss and 
other comprehensive income and depreciation based on 
the asset’s original cost is transferred from the revaluation 
reserve to retained earnings. Any accumulated depreciation 
at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross 
carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated 
to the revalued amount of the asset.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.

The carrying amount of 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 Group 
includes the cost of materials, direct labour, borrowing 
costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable 
overheads.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying 
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits 

87

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost 
of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and 
maintenance are charged to the profit and loss statement 
during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including 
buildings and capitalised lease assets, but excluding 
freehold land, is depreciated on a diminishing value or 
straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the Group 
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. 
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter 
of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated 
useful lives of the improvements.

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

Class of Fixed Asset 

Depreciation Rate

Leasehold Improvements 

2.50%

Plant and Equipment 

Low Value Pool 

Motor Vehicles 

10% – 40.0%

18.75% – 37.5%

18.75% – 50%

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

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 included in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, 
amounts included in the revaluation surplus relating to that 
asset are transferred to retained earnings.

Leases

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term or 
useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the shortest.

Where a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset 
or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group 
anticipates to exercise a purchase option, the specific asset 
is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset.

4.4  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)

Options to Extend or Terminate

The options to extend or terminate are contained in several 
of the property leases of the Group. There were no extension 
options for equipment leases. These clauses provide the 
Group opportunities to manage leases in order to align with 
its strategies. All of the extension or termination options 
are only exercisable by the Group. The extension options or 
termination options which management were reasonably 
certain to be exercised have been included in the calculation 
of the lease liability. 

Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group monitors market conditions for indications of 
impairment of its operating assets. Where a trigger event 
occurs which indicates an impairment may have occurred, a 
formal impairment assessment is performed. The following 
trigger events have occurred at 30 June 2021:

- The carrying amount of the Group’s net assets ($387.6M) 
exceeded the Company’s market capitalisation as at 30 June 
2021 ($259.3M).

As a result, an assessment has been made of the 
recoverable amounts of each of the Operating Segments. 
The Group’s Mining Services segment is split into Mining 
and Crushing CGU’s for evaluation of impairment. Similarly, 
Civil and Infrastructure are also assessed as independent 
CGU’s. Cash flows have been projected for 5 years from the 
continuing use of assets within each CGU as well as the 
disposal of any assets, and have been discounted using a 
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) rate. Projected 
future cash flows from the continuing use of assets for FY22 
have been based on current contracted work in hand plus 
an allowance for estimated new work, thereafter growth has 

been allowed at 2.0% with a terminal growth rate of 2.0% 
has been applied. The FY21 WACC rate has been applied to 
discount the projected cash flows of each of these CGU’s  to 
measure any impairment.

The assessment has resulted in no impairment to the plant 
and equipment employed in the Mining, Crushing, Interquip 
and Civil CGUs, but indicated a potential impairment of 
assets for infrastructure, further tests performed supported 
the carrying value of property, plant and equipment in 
Infrastructure CGU. Accordingly, no impairment to property, 
plant and equipment has been recognised. 

Key Assumptions used for value in use calculations:

- EBITDA Margin

- Discount Rates

- Growth rates used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the 
forecast period

- Capital expenditure

The EBITDA Margin is based on management’s best estimate 
taking into account past performance and expected market 
conditions. Working Capital has been adjusted to reflect the 
required working capital for the forecast future cashflows.

Capital expenditure has considered both required 
replacement capital and idle equipment which could be 
utilised to sustain the current Work in Hand schedule. 
Capital expenditure has been matched to depreciation levels 
in the terminal year.

As disclosed above management have made judgements 
and estimates in respect of impairment testing of plant and 
equipment. Any adverse changes to key assumptions may 
result in an impairment in the future. The sensitivities are as 
follows:

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

4.5  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Accounting Policies

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment 
losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:

(i)   the consideration transferred;

(ii)  any non-controlling interest (determined under either 

the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and

(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held 

equity interest;

over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets 
acquired.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration 
transferred for a business combination plus the acquisition 
date fair value of any previously held equity interest shall 
form the cost of the investment in the separate financial 
statements.

Fair value remeasurements in any pre-existing equity 
holdings are recognised in profit or loss in the period 
in which they arise. Where changes in the value of such 
equity holdings had previously been recognised in other 
comprehensive income, such amounts are recycled to profit 
or loss.

The amount of goodwill recognised on acquisition of 
each subsidiary in which the Group holds less than 100% 
interest will depend on the method adopted in measuring 
the non-controlling interest. The Group can elect in most 
circumstances to measure the non-controlling interest in 
the acquiree either at fair value (full goodwill method) or 
at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the 
subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (proportionate interest 
method). In such circumstances, the Group determines 
which method to adopt for each acquisition and this is 
stated in the respective notes to these financial statements 
disclosing the business combination.

Under the full goodwill method, the fair value of the non-
controlling interest is determined using valuation techniques 
which make the maximum use of market information where 
available. Under this method, goodwill attributable to the 
non-controlling interest is recognised in the consolidated 
financial statements.

91

MACA LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in 
intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is 
included in investments in associates.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is allocated 
to the Group’s cash-generating units or groups of cash-
generating units, representing the lowest level at which 
goodwill is monitored and not larger than an operating 
segment. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity 
include the carrying amount of goodwill related to the entity 
disposed of.

Changes in the ownership interests in a subsidiary that do 
not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity 
transactions and do not affect the carrying amounts of 
goodwill.

Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses 
whether there is any indication that an asset may be 
impaired. The assessment will include the consideration 
of external and internal sources of information including 
dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly 
controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition 
profits. 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 value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over 
its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount 
of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset 
belongs.

Allocation of Goodwill to Cash Generating Unit

Goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash generating units 
identified according to operating segment. Goodwill is not 
amortised but is subject to impairment testing on an annual 
basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment.

SECTIONS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

4.5  INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Impairment Test for Goodwill

The Group does not hold any goodwill arising from the business combinations. 

Intangible Assets - Customer Contracts

The acquisition price of Mining West sites was based on the fair value of inventory, plant and equipment, using an 
independent valuation. The customer contracts ceded to MACA were valued based on the expected net results and 
discounted using MACA’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) to present value. Management believe the customer 
contracts are fully recoverable and as a result, an intangible has been recognised and amortised on a straight-line basis over 
the average duration of the contracts, which is 26 months from its acquisition date, see table below.

4.7  PROVISIONS

Accounting Policies

Employee Benefi ts

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance 
date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be 
paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value 
of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. In determining the liability, consideration is given to 
employee wages increases and the probability that the employee may satisfy vesting requirements. Those cash outflows 
are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of 
cash flows.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is 
probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

SECTION 5 CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING COSTS 

This Section outlines how the Group manages its capital structure, including its balance sheet liquidity and access to capital 
markets. 

The Directors determine the appropriate capital structure of MLD, specifically, how much is raised from shareholders (equity) 
and how much is borrowed from financial institutions (debt) in order to finance the Group’s activities both now and in the 
future. The Directors consider the Group’s capital structure and dividend policy at least annually and do so in the context of 
its ability to continue as a going concern, to execute the strategy and to deliver its business plan. 

5.1 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments 
with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. The Group does not have any bank overdraft facilities.

SECTIONS TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

5.3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits 
with banks, local money market instruments, short-term 
investments, accounts receivable and payable, loans to and 
from subsidiaries, WIP liability, loans to other companies 
and leases.

The totals for each category of financial instruments, 
measured in accordance with AASB 139 as detailed in the 
accounting policies to these financial statements are as 
follows:

Accounting Policies

The Board of Directors (“the Board”) is responsible for, 
amongst other issues, monitoring and managing financial 
risk exposures of the Group. The Board monitors the 
Group’s financial risk management policies and exposures 
and approves financial transactions within the scope of 
its authority. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal 
controls relating to commodity price risk, counterparty credit 
risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, financing risk and interest 
rate risk.

The Board’s overall risk management strategy seeks 
to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, 
while minimising potential adverse effects on financial 
performance. Its functions include the review of the use of 
hedging derivative instruments (if any), credit risk policies 
and future cash flow requirements.

Specifi c Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial 
instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk 
consisting of interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and 
equity price risk.

Credit Risk

Exposure to credit risk relating to financial assets arises from 
the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract 
obligations that could lead to a financial loss to the Group.

Credit risk is managed through the maintenance of 
procedures (such procedures include the utilisation of 
systems for the approval, granting and renewal of credit 
limits, regular monitoring of exposures against such limits 
and monitoring of the financial stability of significant 
customers and counterparties), ensuring to the extent 
possible, that customers and counterparties to transactions 
are of sound credit worthiness. Such monitoring is used in 
assessing receivables for impairment. Depending on the 
division within the Group, credit terms are generally 30 to 
60 days from the invoice date. The Group considers various 
debt recovery methodologies.

Where the Group is unable to ascertain a satisfactory credit 
risk profile in relation to a customer or counterparty, the 
risk may be further managed through title retention clauses 
over goods or obtaining security by way of personal or 
commercial  guarantees over assets which may be claimed 
against in the event of any default. In addition MACA is a 
secured debt holder of Carabella Resources Pty Ltd.

5.3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

Risk is also minimised through investing surplus funds in 
financial institutions that maintain a high credit rating, or 
in entities that the Board has otherwise cleared as being 
financially sound.

The maximum exposure to credit risk by class of recognised 
financial assets at balance date, excluding the value of any 
collateral or other security held, is equivalent to the carrying 
value and classification of those financial assets (net of 
any provisions) as presented in the statement of financial 
position.  Credit risk also arises through the provision of 
financial guarantees, as approved at Board level, given to 
parties securing the liabilities of certain subsidiaries (refer 
Section 6.6 Parent Entity Disclosures for details).

Trade Receivables and Contract Assets

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for 
the Expect Credit Loss (“ECL”) for all trade receivables. 
The simplified approach required the loss allowance to be 
measured at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL. 

The Group uses a provision matrix to measure the lifetime 
ECL allowance for trade receivables. In measuring the ECL, 
trade receivables are grouped based on shared credit risk 
characteristics and days past due.

In calculating the ECL rates, the Group considers historical 
loss rates for each category of customers and adjust for 
forward looking macroeconomic data. 

The Group considers the trade receivables as in default 
when the counterparty fail to make contractual payments 
for a prolonged period of time when they fall due, and the 
Group may also consider financial or economic conditions 
that are expected to cause a significant change to the 
debtors’ ability to meet their obligations. Trade receivables 
are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of 
recovering the contractual cash flow. When trade receivables 
have been written off, the Group continues to engage in 
enforcement activity to attempt to recover the debts. Where 
recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss. 

Receivables for which an impairment/expected credit 
loss provision was recognised are written off against 
the provision when there is no expectation of recovering 
additional cash.

The creation and release of the provision for impaired and 
expected credit loss receivables has been shown separately 
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. 

The Group’s credit risk exposure in relation to Trade 
Receivables and Contract Assets at 30 June 2021 is set out in 
Section 4.1. 

Management has assessed all trade receivables and 
identified and impaired $4.2m through profit and loss, a bad 
debt of $3.2m and raised a provision for doubtful debts of 
$0.98m. Management’s assessment concluded that all other 
trade receivables were not subject to material credit loss. 
There has been no change in the estimation techniques or 
significant assumptions made during the financial period.

5.3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

Other Receivables

Liquidity Risk

The Group applies the general approach to provide for the 
ECL for other receivables. Under the general approach, 
the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the 
12-month ECL at initial recognition. 

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group 
might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise 
meeting its obligations related to financial liabilities.  The 
Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether 
the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased 
significantly since initial recognition. When credit risk 
has increased significantly since initial recognition, loss 
allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. 

The Group has approximately 14% (2020: 22%) of post-
impairment credit risk with a single counterparty or group 
of counterparties. Failure or default of a major counterparty 
would have a material impact on earnings. The classes of 
assets described as Trade and Other Receivables and Loans 
to Other Companies are considered to be main source of 
credit risk related to the Group.

The loan to Carabella Resources Pty Ltd (“Carabella”) under 
the working capital facility of $26.84m remains outstanding, 
it is repayable from free cashflows from the project. Both 
loan and receivables are secured over the project assets and 
subject to its parent company guarantee, which is expected 
to be sufficient to cover the loan and remaining receivables 
following the impairment of $48.4m recognised in FY20. 

Trade and other receivables that remain within initial trade 
terms are considered to be of acceptable quality and fully 
recoverable.

Credit risk related to balances held with banks and other 
financial institutions are only invested with counterparties 
with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least AA-.

- preparing forward looking cashflow analysis in relation to 
its operational, investing and financing activities;

- monitoring undrawn credit facilities;

- obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

- maintaining a reputable credit profile;

- managing credit risk related to financial assets;

- only investing surplus cash with major financial 
institutions; and

- comparing the maturity profile of financial liabilities with 
the realisation profile of financial assets.

The Group’s policy is to ensure that all lease agreements 
entered into, are over a period that will ensure that adequate 
cash flows will be available to meet repayments.

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual 
maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Financial guarantee 
liabilities are treated as payable on demand since the Group 
has no control over the timing of any potential settlement of 
the liabilities.

Cash flows realised from financial assets reflect 
management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. 
Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The 
timing of cash flows presented in the table to settle financial 
liabilities reflects the earliest contractual settlement dates 
and does not reflect management’s expectations that 
banking facilities will be rolled forward.

Price Risk

The Group is also exposed to securities price risk on 
investments held for trading or for medium to longer terms. 
The risk associated with these investments has been 
assessed as reasonably not having a significant impact on 
the Group. 

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies. 
The currency exposure relates to Brazilian Real and US 
Dollar being cash in bank, trade receivables subject to 
repayment and intercompany loan. Both Brazilian Real 
and US Dollar are unhedged. The original investment into 
the Brazilian subsidiary is exposed to fluctuations in the 
Brazilian Real. On 21 January 2020, the Group announced 
its decision to cease the operations in Brazil, which resulted

5.4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when 
the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions to 
the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the 
date that the Group commits itself to either the purchase or 
sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments (except for trade receivables) are 
initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except 
where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through 
profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed 
to profit or loss immediately. Where available, quoted prices 
in an active market are used to determine fair value.

Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction 
price if the trade receivables do not contain a significant 
financing component or if the practical expedient was 
applied as specified in AASB 15.63.

Classifi cation and subsequent measurement
Financial Liabilities

Financial instruments are subsequently measured at:

-   amortised cost; or

-   fair value through profit or loss.

A financial liability is measured at fair value through profit 
and loss if the financial liability is:

-   a contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business 
combination to which AASB 3: Business Combinations 
applies;

-   held for trading; or

-   initially designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating 
the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating 
interest expense in profit or loss over the relevant period. 
The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return of the 
financial asset or liability. That is, it is the rate that exactly 
discounts the estimated future cash flows through the 
expected life of the instrument to the net carrying amount at 
initial recognition.

A financial liability is held for trading if:

-   it is incurred for the purpose of repurchasing or repaying 

in the near term;

-   part of a portfolio where there is an actual pattern of 

short-term profit taking; or

-   a derivative financial instrument (except for a derivative 
that is in a financial guarantee contract or a derivative 
that is in a effective hedging relationships).

Any gains or losses arising on changes in fair value are 
recognised in profit or loss to the extent that they are not 
part of a designated hedging relationship are recognised in 
profit or loss.

The change in fair value of the financial liability attributable 
to changes in the issuer’s credit risk is taken to other 
comprehensive income and are not subsequently 
reclassified to profit or loss. Instead, they are transferred 
to retained earnings upon derecognition of the financial 
liability. If taking the change in credit risk in other 
comprehensive income enlarges or creates an accounting 
mismatch, then these gains or losses should be taken to 
profit or loss rather than other comprehensive income.

A financial liability cannot be reclassified.

Financial Assets

Financial Assets are subsequently measured at:

-   amortised cost;

-   fair value through other comprehensive income,: or

-   fair value through profit or loss.

Measurement is on the basis of two primary criteria:

-   the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial 

assets; and

-   the business model for managing the financial assets.

A financial asset that meets the following conditions is 
subsequently measured at amortised cost:

-   the financial asset is managed solely to collect 

contractual cash flows; and

-   the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise 
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified 
dates.

A financial asset that meets the following conditions 
is subsequently measured at fair value through other 
comprehensive income:

-   the contractual terms within the financial asset give rise 
to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and 
interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified 
dates;

-   the business model for managing the financial assets 

comprises both contractual cash flows collection and the 
selling of the financial asset.

By default, all other financial assets that do not meet the 
measurement conditions of amortised cost and fair value 
through other comprehensive income are subsequently 
measured at fair value through profit or loss.

5.4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Financial Assets (Continued)

De-recognition

The Group initially designates a financial instrument as 
measured at fair value through profit or loss if: 

-   it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement 
or recognition inconsistency (often referred to as 
“accounting mismatch”) that would otherwise arise from 
measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains 
and losses on them on different bases;

-   it is in accordance with the documented risk management 

or investment strategy, and information about the 
groupings was documented appropriately, so that the 
performance of the financial liability that was part of a 
group of financial liabilities or financial assets can be 
managed and evaluated consistently on a fair value basis;

-   it is a hybrid contract that contains an embedded 

derivative that significantly modifies the cash flows 
otherwise required by the contract.

Derecognition refers to the removal of a previously 
recognised financial asset or financial liability from the 
statement of financial position.

Derecognition of fi nancial liabilities

A liability is derecognised when it is extinguished (ie when 
the obligation in the contract is discharged, cancelled or 
expires). An exchange of an existing financial liability for a 
new one with substantially modified terms, or a substantial 
modification to the terms of a financial liability is treated as 
an extinguishment of the existing liability and recognition of 
a new financial liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial 
liability derecognised and the consideration paid and 
payable, including any non-cash assets transferred or 
liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of fi nancial assets

The initial designation of the financial instruments to 
measure at fair value through profit or loss is a one-time 
option on initial classification and is irrevocable until the 
financial asset is derecognised.

A financial asset is derecognised when the holder’s 
contractual rights to its cash flows expires, or the asset is 
transferred in such a way that all the risks and rewards of 
ownership are substantially transferred.

Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or 
loss’ when they are either held for trading for the purpose 
of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging 
purposes, or when they are designated as such to avoid an 
accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation 
where a group of financial assets is managed by key 
management personnel on a fair value basis in accordance 
with a documented risk management or investment strategy. 
Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with 
changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.  

Equity instruments

At initial recognition, as long as the equity instrument is 
not held for trading and not a contingent consideration 
recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to 
which AASB 3:Business Combinations applies, the Group  
made an irrevocable election to measure any subsequent 
changes in fair value of the equity instruments in other 
comprehensive income, while the dividend revenue received 
on underlying equity instruments investment will still be 
recognised in profit or loss.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets 
are recognised and derecognised at settlement date in 
accordance with the Group’s accounting policy.

All of the following criteria need to be satisfied for 
derecognition of financial asset:

-   the right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired 

or been transferred;

-   all risk and rewards of ownership of the asset have been 

substantially transferred; and

-   the Group no longer controls the asset (i.e. the Group has 
no practical ability to make a unilateral decision to sell 
the asset to a third party).

On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised 
cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount 
and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is 
recognised in profit or loss.

On derecognition of a debt instrument classified as at fair 
value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative 
gain or loss previously accumulated in the investment 
revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

On derecognition of an investment in equity which was 
elected to be classified under fair value through other 
comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss 
previously accumulated in the investment revaluation 
reserve is not reclassified to profit or loss, but is transferred 
to retained earnings.

5.4  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Impairment 

Simplifi ed approach

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit 
losses on:

-   financial assets that are measured at amortised cost or 

fair value through other comprehensive income;

The simplified approach does not require tracking of 
changes in credit risk at every reporting period, but instead 
requires the recognition of lifetime expected credit loss at all 
times. This approach is applicable to:

-   trade receivables or contract assets that result from 

transactions within the scope of AASB 15: Revenue from 
Contracts with Customers  and which do not contain a 
significant financing component; and

-   lease receivables.

In measuring the expected credit loss, a provision matrix 
for trade receivables was used taking into consideration 
various data to get to an expected credit loss (ie diversity 
of customer base, appropriate groupings of historical loss 
experience, etc).

Recognition of expected credit losses in fi nancial 
statements

At each reporting date, the Group recognises the movement 
in the loss allowance as an impairment gain or loss in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The carrying amount of financial assets measured at 
amortised cost includes the loss allowance relating to that 
asset.

Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive 
income are recognised at fair value, with changes in fair 
value recognised in other comprehensive income. Amounts 
in relation to change in credit risk are transferred from other 
comprehensive income to profit or loss at every reporting 
period.

-   lease receivables;

-   contract assets (eg amounts due from customers under 

construction contracts);

-   loan commitments that are not measured at fair value 

through profit or loss; and

-   financial guarantee contracts that are not measured at 

fair value through profit or loss.

Loss allowance is not recognised for:

-   financial assets measured at fair value through profit or 

loss; or

-   equity instruments measured at fair value through other 

comprehensive income.

Expected credit losses are the probability-weighted 
estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial 
instrument. A credit loss is the difference between all 
contractual cash flows that are due and all cash flows 
expected to be received, all discounted at the original 
effective interest rate of the financial instrument.

The Group uses the following approaches to impairment, as 
applicable under AASB 9: Financial Instruments:

-   the general approach; and

-   the simplified approach

General approach

Under the general approach, at each reporting period, the 
Group assesses whether the financial instruments are credit-
impaired, and if:

-   the credit risk of the financial instrument has increased 

significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures 
the loss allowance of the financial instruments at an 
amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses; or

-   there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial 
recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for 
that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month 
expected credit losses.

The Company has no authorised share capital. Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of 
the parent entity in proportion to the number of shares held. At the shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to 
one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

Performance Rights

For information relating to performance rights, including details of performance rights issued, exercised and lapsed during 
the financial year, refer to Section 5.8.

Capital Management

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a prudent debt to equity ratio, provide the shareholders 
with adequate returns and ensure that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

The Group’s debt and capital includes ordinary share capital and financial liabilities, supported by financial assets.

There are no externally imposed capital requirements. Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing 
the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market.  These 
responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

5.6  RESERVES

Accounting Policies

Equity Settled Employee Benefi ts Reserve

Foreign Currency Translation Reserve

The equity-settled employee benefits reserve relates 
to performance rights granted by the Company to its 
Executives and employees under its Employee Long-Term 
Incentive Plan. Rights granted during the year were made 
via an Employee Share Trust and as a result there was no 
movement in the Equity Settled Employee Benefits Reserve. 

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign 
controlled operations are taken to the exchange fluctuation 
reserve. Gains or losses accumulated in equity are 
recognised in the income statement when a foreign 
operation is disposed or discontinued.

General Reserves

The General reserves represent funds associated with the 
acquisition of non-controlling interests of controlled entities 
from previous years.

Foreign Operations

The financial transactions of foreign operations whose 
functional currency is different from the presentation 
currency are translated at the exchange rates prevailing 
at the date of the transaction. At the end of the reporting 
period, assets and liabilities are re-translated at the rates 
prevailing at that date. Income and expenses are re-
translated at average exchange rates for the period. 

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign 
operations are transferred directly to the foreign currency 
translation reserve in the Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Position. These differences are recognised in profit 
and loss in the period in which the operation is disposed or 
discontinued.

right. Payments were made to the MACA ERT Trust for delivery of shares under the Performance Rights Plan. Inputs used to 
determine the fair value of performance rights granted during the year ended 30 June 2021 were:

- Exercise price: Nil

- Volatility: 34.03%

- Option life: 3 years

- Dividend yield: 5.2%

SECTION 6 OTHER

6.1  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Accounting Policies

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses, and is to be completed within 
a 12 month period.

A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities or 
businesses under common control. The business combination will be accounted for from the date that control is obtained, 
whereby the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) assumed is 
recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent 
consideration arrangement is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity 
is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an 
asset or liability is remeasured in each reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, 
unless the change in value can be identified as existing at acquisition date.

All transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations, other than those associated with the issue of a financial 
instrument, are recognised as expenses in profit or loss when incurred.

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The gain from a 
bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately and is not deductible for tax purpose.

Refer 4.5 Intangible Assets for treatment and calculation of customer contracts.

Acquisition of Mining West 

On 1st February 2021, MACA completed the acquisition of the Mining West business from Downer EDI Ltd, which comprises 
four contracts at the long-life assets of Karara (Ansteel), Eliwana (FMG), Cape Preston (Citic Pacific) and Gruyere (Gold 
Fields).

The acquisition was funded by $130 million debt facility from Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”) and $72.4 million 
equity capital raising (net of capital raising costs).

The resulting gain on business acquisition can be attributed to the vendor’s urban services strategy which culminated in the 
exit of their mining and other non-core businesses during the year ended 30 June 2021.

Revenue and Profit of Mining West included in the consolidated revenue and NPAT of the Group since the acquisition date on 
1st February 2021 amounted to $201.3m and $5.7m respectively (excluding acquisition-related costs). Acquisition-related 
costs totalled $12.4m including stamp duty, advisory, legal, accounting and other professional fees.

Had the results of Mining West been consolidated from 1st July 2020, revenue and NPAT of the consolidated group would 
have been $1,373m and $33.4m respectively for the year ended 30 June 2021.

We have audited the financial report of MACA Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of 
cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant 
accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

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

i.

ii.

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and of its financial 
performance for the year then ended; and 

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 auditor independence requirements 
of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & 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 Group,  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. 

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our 
audit of the financial report of the current period.  These matters were addressed in the context of our audit 
of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters (continued)

Existence and Ownership of Assets – Plant and Equipment
Refer to Note 4.4 “Property, Plant and Equipment”
Existence and ownership of plant and equipment is 
a key audit matter.
It is due to the size of this account balance and the 
location of plant and equipment (mostly at remote 
client  mine  sites)  that  this  is  a  key  area  of  audit 
focus.

Our procedures included:

(cid:120) We  agreed  a  sample  of  plant  and  equipment 
additions  to  supplier  invoices  and  to  Capital

Impairment Assessment of Property Plant & Equipment 
Refer to Notes 4.4 “Property, Plant and Equipment”
Refer to Section 2 Key Estimates & Judgements – “Impairment of Property, Plant & Equipment”
Property,  plant  and  equipment  (“PPE”)  represents 
the Group’s largest asset with a year-end book value 
of  approximately  $479 million.    Given  the  Group’s
net asset position exceeds its market capitalisation 
at  balance  date,  an  impairment trigger  event  has 
arisen under AASB 136 Impairment.  

Our procedures included, amongst others:

the 

As  a  result,  an  impairment  assessment  has  been 
made by management of the recoverable amounts 
of each of the Group’s operating segments (or Cash 
Generating  Units  or  CGUs).    An  impairment  is 
recognised  if  the  carrying  amount  of  the  Group’s 
PPE is less than its recoverable amounts, being the 
higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-
in-use (VIU). 

The 
impairment  assessment  undertaken  has 
resulted in no impairment to the PPE  employed in 
all CGUs. 

The recoverable amounts of the Group’s PPE were 
key  audit  matters due  to  the  significant  judgment 
involved  in  forecasting  future  cash  flows  and  the 
selection of assumptions.

Recognition of Revenue
Refer to Note 3.1 “Revenue and Other Income”
The Group’s revenue is predominantly derived from
the  rendering  of  mining  and  other  services,  all  of 
which are based on contracts which determine the 
services, products and rates to be charged.
The  accurate  recording  of  revenue 
dependent upon the following key factors:

is  highly 

(cid:120) Knowledge of the individual characteristics and 

status of contracts

(cid:120) Management’s invoicing process including:

(cid:16) accurate  measurement  of  work  done  and 

services provided each month

(cid:16) invoices  prepared 

in  compliance  with 
contract  terms  such  as  services  performed 
and rates charged

(cid:16) by  reference  to  the  stage  of  completion  of 
the contract activity (using the input method 
under  AASB  15)  at  balance  date

an assessment as to when the Group believes it 
is  highly  probable  that  a  significant  reversal  in 
the amount of revenue recognised will not occur 
when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the 
variable consideration is subsequently removed.

The  above  determinations  will  also  impact  on 
account  balances  such  as  Work  In  Progress  (WIP), 
Accrued Income and Unearned Revenue

We focused on this matter as a key audit matter due 
to the significance of contract-based revenue to the 
Group  combined  with  the  need  to  comply  with  a

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT (CONTINUED)

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021, but does not include the financial 
report and our auditor’s report thereon.

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Group 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 at: https://www.auasb.gov.au/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2021.pdf.
