RISK   

MANAGEMENT

Macmahon defines risk management as the identification, assessment and management of risks that have the potential 

to materially impact on its operations, people, reputation, and financial results.  

Given the breadth of operations and the geographies and markets in which the company operates, a wide range of risk 

factors have the potential to impact on Macmahon. While Macmahon attempts to mitigate and manage risks where it is 

efficient and practicable to do so, there is no guarantee these efforts will be successful.

Set out below is an overview of a number of material risks facing Macmahon. These risks are not set out in any particular 

order and do not comprise every risk that Macmahon could encounter when conducting its business. Rather, they 

are the most significant risks that, in the opinion of the Board, should be considered and monitored by both existing 

shareholders and potential shareholders in the company.

REMUNERATION REPORT - AUDITED 

This Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report for FY18 and has been audited by the company’s  

external auditor. 

1. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION 

1.1 Overview

The company’s approach to remuneration is to compensate employees in a way that is cost effective and appropriate 

for current industry conditions, but also sufficient to attract, retain and incentivise the calibre of personnel needed to 

effectively manage the company’s business. To this end the remuneration packages offered to senior executives have 

three components:

•  market competitive fixed remuneration;

• 

• 

a short term incentive opportunity, or the opportunity to earn a cash bonus dependent on performance over an 

annual period; and

a long term incentive opportunity, or the opportunity to earn Macmahon shares dependent on performance over 

multiple years. 

The table below represents the mix of these remuneration components during FY18 for those members of current KMP 

(or key management personnel as defined by the Corporations Act 2001) who hold executive positions. The short term 

incentive is provided at the amount payable at the “Target” performance level2, and the long term incentive amount 

is provided based on the valued granted in the current year (where the value of the performance rights issued under 

the long term incentive plan is assumed to be the same as the volume weighted average share price at the start of the 

performance period):

1.2 Fixed remuneration

The fixed remuneration paid to senior executives is based on the size and scope of their role, knowledge and experience, 

market benchmarks for that role, and to some extent the company’s financial circumstances. Fixed remuneration 

comprises base salary, any applicable role specific allowances, and superannuation. 

Macmahon regularly reviews and benchmarks fixed remuneration to monitor how that remuneration compares to the 

market and industry peers. Benchmarking was completed during FY18 using industry surveys and reports, however, as it 

did last year, the Board determined that there should not be a general, inflationary increase to the fixed remuneration of 

Australian based staff employees during that period.

2 During FY18 this performance level required 125% achievement of the company’s EBIT target. 

MACMAHON  ANNUAL REPORT 2018  | 47

REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED

1.3 Short term incentive 

In previous years, the short term incentive opportunity provided to senior executives has been linked to a range of 

performance criteria set each year according to the company’s priorities at the start of each annual period. 

For FY18 the company took a different approach and implemented simplified short term incentive plan (STI Plan) under 

which a much wider group of employees than in prior years were provided with the opportunity to receive a cash bonus 

based on Macmahon’s overall EBIT performance.

This bonus was structured to commence upon achievement of the annual EBIT target, and then increase in line with 

any EBIT outperformance, up to a cap. This performance condition was chosen to simplify administration of the plan, to 

ensure unity of purpose for all staff, to make the plan easier for employees to understand and monitor, and to focus staff 

attention on a key metric for investors in the company. 

Further details of the FY18 STI plan are set out below. 

Participants

The participants in the plan were all Australian based staff employees and key managers overseas who are not already 

covered by a project-specific incentive program, provided such individuals have been employed for more than 6 months 

during the plan period. 

Deferral and clawback

The FY18 STI Plan included a deferral arrangement for Executive Team members. Under this arrangement, the payment 

of 25% of any bonus due to an Executive Team member will be deferred for two years. If one of these individuals ceases 

to be an employee during this period, payment will be at the Board’s discretion. The Plan also includes a ‘clawback’ 

provision by which up to 30% of any bonus awarded to an Executive Team member may be claimed back by the 

company at any time up to two years after the award if there is a restatement of the company’s financial results (other 

than a restatement caused by a change in applicable accounting rules or interpretations), the result of which is that any 

bonus awarded would have been a lower amount had it been calculated based on such restated results.

Potential bonus amounts

executive members of KMP under the FY18 STI Plan.

1.4 Long term incentive 

During FY18 the long term incentive opportunity provided to senior executives involved the grant of performance 

rights which can vest into fully paid ordinary shares in Macmahon after three years for no consideration, dependent on 

performance over that three year period3. 

The only performance condition that applies to the company’s long term incentive plan (LTI Plan) is absolute shareholder 

returns. The reasons for selecting this performance condition include that (a) it provides a straightforward measure of 

company performance that is simple to communicate to employees and for them to continuously monitor; and (b) it is 

an important metric for investors in a company of Macmahon’s size and risk profile, many of whom have indicated that 

they seek absolute returns, rather than returns relative to an index. 

Further details of the FY18 LTI Plan framework are set out below.

Performance condition - targets

The vesting of performance rights is dependent on the company’s absolute level of total shareholder returns (TSR) over 

the performance period (generally three years). The portion of performance rights eligible to vest at various levels of 

increase in the company’s TSR (expressed as a compound annual growth rate or CAGR) is:

Macmahon’s TSR performance over the  
performance period

Proportion of performance rights that are eligible to vest at the end of the 
performance period

Less than 17 % CAGR TSR growth

17% CAGR TSR growth

50%

Between 17% and < 25% CAGR TSR growth

50% plus a straight line increase in % award until 25% TSR is achieved

At 25% CAGR TSR growth and above

100%

Continued employment condition

Performance rights are immediately cancelled if a holder ceases employment before the rights vest, unless the Board 

in its absolute discretion determines otherwise. There is no vesting of performance rights based solely on continued 

employment.

Change of control

If a change of control occurs or if the company is wound up or delisted, the Board may (in its absolute discretion) 

determine that all or a portion of the performance rights then on issue will vest, notwithstanding that time restrictions 

or performance conditions applicable to the performance rights have not been satisfied.

Testing of the performance condition

Performance rights are tested for vesting only once, at the end of the performance period. That is, there is no re-testing 

of performance rights.

Dividends and voting rights

Performance rights do not have dividend or voting rights. However, the shares allocated upon vesting of performance 

rights rank equally with other ordinary shares on issue.

Restriction on disposal of shares

The shares allocated to performance rights holders upon the vesting of those rights are initially held in a trust, and are 

subject to disposal restrictions in line with the company’s Trading in Shares Policy. 

3 A grant of performance rights was made to one employee during FY18 which had a 2.5 year performance period.

REMUNERATION REPORT CONTINUED

Number of performance rights granted to Plan participants

The number of performance rights granted to participants in the LTI Plan is sometimes specified by an individual’s 

employment contract, but is generally at the discretion of the Board. 

For FY18 the executive members of KMP were awarded the number of performance rights needed to provide a value 

consistent with their target remuneration mix for that period, where the value of each performance right was assumed 

to be the same as the 30 day volume weighted average share price at the start of the performance period.

1.5 Relationship between remuneration policy and company performance

As required by the Corporations Act 2001, the company’s financial performance across various indices over the past five 

years is set out below:

Profit/(loss) after income tax expense from  
 continuing operations ($m)

Reported basic earnings per share from  
continuing operations (EPS) (cents)

Given the company’s profit performance in recent years the FY18 STI Plan was designed to incentivise the achievement 

of a much improved EBIT target in that year. Similarly, the FY18 LTI Plan is intended to drive growth in TSR, which will 

benefit shareholders through increases in the price of their shares and / or the payment of dividends.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
PART A: RESULTS 
Note 1. Operating segments

Identification of reportable operating segments

The consolidated entity has identified its reportable segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used 

by the Chief Executive Officer (the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in determining the 

allocation of resources.

Management have identified three operating segments; Surface Mining, Underground Mining and International Mining. 

These segments have been aggregated into “Mining” due to all segments exhibiting similar economic characteristics 

in terms of the nature of the products and services, production processes, type or class of customers, methods used to 

provide their services and regulatory environments which these services are provided in.

The following describes the operations of each reportable segment.

Mining

Provides a complete set of mining services for surface and underground operations - from mine development to 

materials delivery, including the full range of engineering services which include design, construction and on site 

services to deliver on client needs from the design phase right through to completion.

Civil

Provides consulting, design, civil construction, equipment hire, maintenance and site rehabilitation services.

Joint Ventures

Revenue from joint venture entities is not recognised in the financial statements as these entities are equity accounted. 

For such entities, in accordance with Accounting Standards, the share of net profits is recognised.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on 

segment profit before income tax as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the consolidated 

entity’s CEO. Segment profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most 

relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

For clarity and reconciliation to the statement of profit and loss, discontinued operations are separately disclosed.

The Mining segment operates in two principal geographical areas - Australia and Indonesia. In presenting information on the 

basis of geographical segments, segment revenue is based on the geographical location of customers. Segment assets are based 

on the geographical location of the assets.

Major customer

Approximately 31% (2017: 55%) of the consolidated entity’s revenue is attributable to sale transactions with its largest customer.

Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the consolidated entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn 

revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the consolidated entity’s 

other components. All operating segments’ operating results are regularly reviewed by the consolidated entity’s CEO to 

make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial 

information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be 

allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, head office expenses, and income tax 

assets and liabilities. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and 

equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss 

except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted 

or substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current 

tax payable also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when 

the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, 

except for:

•  When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability 

in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the 

accounting nor taxable profits; or

•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and 

the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the 

foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, 

based on laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit / (loss) attributable to the owners of Macmahon Holdings 

Limited, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary 

shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the  

financial year.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account 

the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares (if any) 

and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive 

potential ordinary shares.

Trade and other receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses. Due to the short-term nature of trade and other 

receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value.

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectable are 

written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A provision for doubtful trade receivables is raised when there is 

objective evidence that the consolidated entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original 

terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy 

or financial reorganisation and default or delinquency in payments (more than 60 days overdue) are considered 

indicators that the trade receivable may be doubtful. The amount of the doubtful allowance is the difference between 

the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective 

interest rate. Cash flows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Accrued revenue

Accrued revenue represents the unbilled amount at year end in respect of mining services provided.

Provision for doubtful receivables

The provision for doubtful receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgment. The level of provision 

is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and 

specific knowledge of the individual debtors financial position.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the 

inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of 

completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Allowance for obsolescence 

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgment. The level of 

the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, current market conditions, the ageing of 

inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

During the year, the Group acquired new mining plant and equipment for the Byerwen project which is subject to a put 

and call option with the client. The put and call feature results in the plant and equipment being recognised as a lease 

receivable rather than plant and equipment.

The lease receivable is initially recognised at the amount equal to the net investment in the lease which equals the 

present value of the minimum lease payments and any unguaranteed residual value. When payments are received,  

the principal portion is recognised against the lease receivable and the interest portion is recognised in profit or loss as  

lease income.

Minimum lease payments receivable at 30 June 2018 are:

c) Non-current liabilities - retirement benefit obligations

Superannuation plan

The Trust Company Ltd is the Trustee of the Macmahon Employees Superannuation Fund (“the Fund”) and is responsible 

for all areas of compliance with regard to the Fund. All members of the now closed defined benefit section were 

previously invited to transfer their entitlement to the accumulation section of the Fund. At 30 June 2018, 1 member  

(2017: 1 member) remained in the defined benefit section.

Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave, long service leave and accumulating 

sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date  are recognised in current liabilities in respect of 

employees’ services up to the reporting date and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 

are settled. Non-accumulating sick leave is expensed to profit or loss when incurred.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the unconditional 

right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. The liability is measured as 

the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the 

reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, 

experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields 

on national government bonds at the reporting date with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely  

as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

82  |  MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Defined contribution superannuation expense

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a 

separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to 

defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which 

services are rendered by employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund 

or reduction in future payments is available. Contributions to a defined contribution plan which are due more than 12 

months after the end of the period in which the employees render the service are discounted to their present value.

Defined benefit plans

The consolidated entity’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by 

estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting  

that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed every three years and in intervening periods calculated on 

actuarial estimates using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the 

consolidated entity, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of the economic benefits available in the form 

of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of 

economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the consolidated entity is committed demonstrably, without 

realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement 

date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination 

benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognised as an expense if the consolidated entity has made an offer 

encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be 

estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting date, then they are discounted to their 

present value.

Long service leave provision

The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date is recognised and 

measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting 

date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion 

and inflation have been taken into account.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a 

past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be 

made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration 

required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties 

surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate 

specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

The consolidated entity accrues for its contracted obligation to replace major components and tyres for client owned 

equipment, which it operates under its mining service contracts. The provision represents the wear and tear of 

components and tyres up to the balance date. As components and tyres are replaced, these items are charged against 

that provision. The provision is utilised completely by the end of the contract term.

84  |  MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Provision for project closure

The provision for project closure requires a degree of 

estimation and judgement around contractual term, 

expected redundancy and demobilisation costs, and 

reimbursement from customers. The provision is assessed 

by taking into account past history of contract closures 

and likelihood of contract extensions.

Client plant maintenance provision

The provision for client plant maintenance requires a 

degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision 

is assessed by taking into account actual and forecast 

utilisation of the fleet and current consumption rate and 

maintenance cost.

Other

Other provisions reflect miscellaneous contract related 

claim provisions and require a degree of estimation and 

judgement.

Onerous Contracts

Leases

In 2015 the Group exited premises for which they have a 

non-cancellable lease. The lease will expire in 2019. The 

facilities have been sub-let at rates lower than the lease 

rate. The obligation for the discounted future payments, 

net of expected rental income as been provided for.

Other Operating Contracts 

The Telfer Mining Services contract has incurred significant 

losses to date.

At 30 June 2018 the Group has determined the contract 

is not considered onerous based on a positive cash flow 

forecast over the remaining contract term.

PART D: FIXED ASSETS
Note 15. Intangible assets and goodwill continued

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair 

value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised at cost. Indefinite life 

intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible 

assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any impairment. The gains or losses recognised in profit 

or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds 

and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method and useful lives of finite life intangible assets are reviewed 

annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the 

amortisation method or period.

Goodwill

Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is measured at cost 

less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is not amortised but is tested 

annually for impairment.

Software

Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably or the process is technically 

and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the consolidated entity intends to and has 

sufficient resources to complete development and to use the asset. The software expenditure capitalised includes the 

cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended 

use. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Capitalised software development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated 

impairment losses.

The expected useful life of software is 5 years.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested 

annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. 

Other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 

carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying 

amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Valuation techniques for fair value measurements categorised within level 2 and level 3

Derivative financial instruments have been valued using market comparison technique. This valuation technique 

maximises the use of observable market data where it is available and relies as little as possible on entity  

specific estimates.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due 

to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Fair value of lease receivables, loans from banks and other financial liabilities, obligations under finance and hire 

purchase leases are estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, 

credit risk and remaining maturities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
PART E: RISK
Note 16. Financial Risk Management continued

Financial risk management objectives

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the risk management framework. 

This framework is designed to identify, monitor and manage the material risks throughout the consolidated entity, to 

ensure risks remain within appropriate limits.

Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the 

consolidated entity’s activities. The consolidated entity, through its training and management standards and  

procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand  

their roles and obligations.

The Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the consolidated entity’s risk management 

policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by 

the consolidated entity. The Board of Directors is assisted in its oversight role by the Audit and Risk Committee, to which 

internal audit reports. Internal audit undertakes reviews of controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to 

the Audit and Risk Committee.

The consolidated entity has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

•  Market risk

• 

• 

• 

Credit risk

Liquidity risk

Operational risk

This note presents qualitative and quantitative information about the consolidated entity’s exposure to each of the above 

risks, their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect 

the consolidated entity’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk 

management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns.

Currency risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a 

currency other than respective functional currencies of entities within the consolidated Group, which are primarily the 

Australian Dollar (AUD), but also the US Dollar (USD), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), Nigerian Naira 

(NGN), Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Great British Pounds (GBP) and Mongolian Tugrik (MNT). The 

consolidated entity is also exposed to foreign currency risk on plant and equipment purchases that are denominated  

in a currency other than the AUD. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily US Dollar (USD) and European  

Euro (EUR).

The consolidated entity uses foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge its purchases of major items of plant and 

equipment that are denominated in a foreign currency when a firm commitment is made. As at 30 June 2018 there are 

no foreign exchange forward contracts in place.

In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the AUD, the consolidated entity ensures 

that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary 

to address short-term imbalances.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
PART E: RISK
Note 16. Financial Risk Management continued

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the consolidated entity if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument 

fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the consolidated entity’s receivables from customers 

and cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents

The consolidated entity limits its exposure to credit risk for cash and cash equivalents by only investing in liquid 

securities and with counterparties that have an acceptable credit rating where possible.

Trade and other receivables

The consolidated entity’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the characteristics of each individual customer. 

The demographics of the consolidated entity’s customer base, including the default risk of the industries and countries 

in which customers operate, has less influence on credit risk. Approximately 31% (2017: 55%) of the consolidated entity’s 

revenue is attributable to sale transactions with a single customer. Geographically, the concentration of credit risk is  

in Australia.

Under the consolidated entity’s systems and procedures, each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness 

before the consolidated entity’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The exposure to credit 

risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The consolidated entity’s analysis includes external ratings, when available, and 

in some cases bank references. Credit risk is minimised by managing payment terms, receiving advance payments, 

receiving the benefit of a bank guarantee or by entering into credit insurance for customers considered to be at risk.

More than 29% (2017: 61%) of the consolidated entity’s trade receivables exposed to credit risk are from customers who 

have been transacting with the consolidated entity for over three years.

The consolidated entity establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected / incurred 

losses in respect of trade and other receivables. At 30 June 2018 the consolidated entity’s collective impairment on  

its trade receivables was $0.1 million (2017:$0.2 million).

Lease receivables

The credit risk associated with lease receivables is mitigated because the lease receivables are secured over the lease 

plant and equipment.

Guarantees 

The consolidated entity’s policy is to provide financial guarantees only to or for subsidiaries. Details of outstanding 

guarantees are provided in note 20.

Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of the consolidated entity’s financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. 

The consolidated entity’s maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Cash and cash equivalents

Receivables and accrued revenue*

Total credit risk exposure

* Receivables are shown excluding prepayments and GST receivable.

The consolidated entity’s most significant trade receivable, a mining customer, accounts for $25.9 million of the trade 

receivables carrying amount at 30 June 2018 (2017: $20.8 million).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the consolidated entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.  

The consolidated entity’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,  without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the consolidated 

entity’s reputation.

The consolidated entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and available borrowing facilities 

by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets  

and liabilities.

Information about changes in term facilities during the year is disclosed in note 17. As at 30 June 2018, the undrawn 

amount on the term facility was $17.5 million (2017: $5.9 million). The facility was utilised for bank guarantees of $7.5 

million (2017: $3.8 million). Outstanding individual lease agreements drawn under past facilities remain in place until 

their expiry date. In addition, the consolidated entity has a $20.0 million (2017: $20.0 million) insurance bond facility  

with $5.6 million (2017: $11.8 million) available at year end.

Remaining contractual maturities

The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. 

The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date 

on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows 

disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in 

the statement of financial position.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the consolidated 

entity’s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market and 

liquidity risks such as those arising from the unexpected termination of contracts by customers, legal and regulatory 

requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. This risk includes loss of major contract or non 

extension of current contracts. Operational risks arise from all of the consolidated entity’s operations. 

The consolidated entity’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and 

damage to the consolidated entity’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that 

restrict initiative and creativity.

The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to 

senior management within each business unit (operating segments). This responsibility is supported by the development 

of overall consolidated entity’s standards for the management of operational risk. 

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 

in an active market. They are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are 

recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

The consolidated entity assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a 

financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. Objective evidence includes significant financial difficulty of the 

issuer or obligor; a breach of contract such as default or delinquency in payments; the lender granting to a borrower 

concessions due to economic or legal reasons that the lender would not otherwise do; it becomes probable that the 

borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; the disappearance of an active market for the financial 

asset; or observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows.

The amount of the impairment allowance for loans and receivables carried at amortised cost is the difference between 

the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective 

interest rate. If there is a reversal of impairment, the reversal cannot exceed the amortised cost that would have been 

recognised had the impairment not been made and is reversed to profit or loss.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the 

initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at 

either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on the purpose of 

the acquisition and subsequent reclassification to other categories is restricted.

For unlisted investments, the consolidated entity establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the 

use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash 

flow analysis, and option pricing models.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired  

or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They 

are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, 

the loans or borrowings are classified as non-current.

Ordinary shares

Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in dividends and the proceeds on the winding up of the parent entity in 

proportion to the number of and amounts paid on the shares held. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and 

the parent entity does not have authorised capital.

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

share shall have one vote.

Capital risk management

The consolidated entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, 

so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital 

structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the consolidated entity may adjust the amount of dividends paid to 

shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The consolidated entity would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as 

value adding relative to the current parent entity’s share price at the time of the investment.

The consolidated entity is subject to certain financing arrangements covenants and meeting these is given priority in  

all capital risk management decisions. There have been no events of default on the financing arrangements during  

the financial year.

The consolidated entity monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. The ratio is calculated as net debt divided by 

total equity. Net debt is calculated as ‘total borrowings’ less ‘cash and cash equivalents’ as shown in the statement of 

financial position. Total equity is as shown in the statement of financial position. At 30 June 2018 the consolidated entity 

was in a net cash position (Gearing ratio: nil). 

Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

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

tax, from the proceeds.

Shares purchased on market by the consolidated entity are recognised at fair value, less transaction costs and reduce 

issued capital.

Reserve for own shares

The reserve for the Company’s own shares comprises the cost (net of tax) of the Company’s shares held by the trustee 

of the consolidated entity’s equity compensation plans which were purchased on-market in anticipation of vesting of 

share-based payment awards under the equity compensation plans. During the year no shares were purchased (2017: 

nil). As at 30 June 2018, there are 11,699,448 (2017: 13,042,548) unallocated Macmahon shares held in trust.

Foreign currency reserve

The reserve is used to recognise exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign 

operations to Australian dollars. It is also used to recognise gains and losses on the net investments in foreign operations. 

The foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified to the profit and loss either on sale or cessation of the underlying 

foreign operation.

In 2018 nil (2017: $6,982,000) was reclassified to the profit and loss from the foreign currency translation reserve. 

Share based payments reserve

The share based payments reserve is used to record the value of share-based payments and performance rights to 

employees, including KMP, as part of their remuneration, as well as non-employees.

Bank guarantees and insurance bonds are issued to contract counterparties in the normal course of business as security 

for the performance by Macmahon of various contractual obligations. 

Other contingent liabilities

Bank guarantees and insurance bonds are issued to contract counterparties in the normal course of business as security 

for the performance by Macmahon of various contractual obligations. Macmahon is also called upon to give guarantees 

and indemnities direct to contract counterparties in relation to the performance of contractual and financial obligations. 

The value of these guarantees and indemnities is indeterminable. 

Macmahon has the normal contractor’s liability in relation to its current and completed mining and construction 

projects (for example, liability relating to design, workmanship and damage), as well as liability for personal injury and 

property damage during a project. Potential liability may arise from claims, disputes and/or litigation against Group 

companies and/or joint venture arrangements in which the Group has an interest. Macmahon is currently managing a 

number of claims, disputes and litigation processes in relation to its contracts, as well as in relation to personal injury 

and property damage arising from project delivery.

On 9 November 2015, Macmahon was served with a shareholder class action filed in the Federal Court of Australia by 

ACA Lawyers. The action, as amended in April 2018, is filed on behalf of shareholders who acquired Macmahon securities 

between 10 April 2012 and 19 September 2012 and relates to disclosures by Macmahon in 2012 regarding the now 

completed Hope Downs 4 contract. Macmahon denies any wrong doing and is defending the proceeding.

Macmahon does not consider there is a reasonable basis on which to assess or estimate any potential liability and, 

therefore, continues to treat the proceeding as an unquantified contingent liability.

Operating lease facility

The consolidated entity leases a number of offices and industrial workshop facilities.  The leases typically run for a period 

of 10 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Some leases provide for additional payments that are 

based on changes in a local price index or CPI. The consolidated entity does not have an option to purchase the leased 

assets at the expiry of their lease period.

Operating leases - equipment

On 31 July 2013, the consolidated entity entered into a Master Operating Lease Agreement for plant and equipment. The 

leases typically run for a term of 3 to 5 years with the ability to extend for up to 3 years after that date. The consolidated 

entity has an option to purchase the assets at the expiry of their lease period. As at 30 June 2018, the total value of 

outstanding operating leases was $26.7 million (2017: $39.9 million)

Finance leases - equipment 

Finance lease commitments in Note 17 include contracted amounts for various plant and equipment with a written 

down value of $106.3 million (2017: $8.8 million) under finance leases expiring within 1 year. Under the terms of the 

leases, the consolidated entity has the option to acquire the leased assets for predetermined residual values on the 

expiry of the leases.

MACMAHON  ANNUAL REPORT 2018  | 105

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
PART G: UNRECOGNISED ITEMS
Note 21. Commitments continued

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and 

requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or 

assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the 

risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively 

retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased assets, or if lower, 

the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the 

lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset’s useful life or over the shorter of the asset’s 

useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the 

end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line 

basis over the term of the lease.

Major component expenditure on operating leased equipment is capitalised to plant and equipment and amortised over 

the shorter of the remaining lease term or the useful life of the component.

Note 22. Events after the reporting period

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2018 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the 

consolidated entity’s operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity’s state of affairs in future 

financial years.

The consolidated entity has the following equity compensation plans in place to remunerate executives and employees 

of the Group:

•  Macmahon Executive Equity Plan (“EEP” or “LTI Plan”)

Macmahon EEP or LTI Plan

The LTI Plan provides Executives (including the CEO) and other senior personnel with the opportunity to receive fully 

paid shares in Macmahon for no consideration, subject to specified time restrictions, continuous employment and 

performance conditions being met. Each performance right will entitle participants to receive one fully paid ordinary 

share at the time of vesting. The LTI Plan is designed to assist with employee retention, and to incentivise employees to 

maximise returns and earnings for shareholders.

Participants are granted Performance Rights, which are contractual rights to receive fully paid shares in Macmahon, 

subject to the LTI Plan conditions being satisfied. The Board determines which Executives are eligible to participate  

and the number of rights granted. Each right will entitle the participant to receive one fully paid ordinary Macmahon 

share on vesting.

Share-based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the 

equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial, Black-

Scholes or Monte Carlo model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. 

The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the 

carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, or options over shares, that are provided to employees in exchange for the 

rendering of services. Cash-settled transactions are awards of cash for the exchange of services, where the amount of cash is 

determined by reference to the share price.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using 

either the Binomial, Monte Carlo or Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term 

of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the 

expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that 

do not determine whether the consolidated entity receives the services that entitle the employees to receive payment. No 

account is taken of any other vesting conditions.

The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over the vesting 

period. The cumulative charge to profit or loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate 

of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. The amount recognised in 

profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in 

previous periods.

Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore, any awards subject to market conditions 

are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, provided all other conditions  

are satisfied.

If equity-settled awards are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the modification has not been made. An 

additional expense is recognised, over the remaining vesting period, for any modification that increases the total fair value of 

the share-based compensation benefit as at the date of modification.

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is 

treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied 

during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the 

award is forfeited.

If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense 

is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award 

is treated as if they were a modification.

If any performance rights have been forfeited for failure to complete a service period, the costs of the performance rights 

costs are trued up i.e., amounts previously expensed are no longer incurred and accordingly reversed in the current year.   

This policy is applied irrespective of whether the employee resigns voluntarily or is dismissed by the Company.

Note 31. Acquisition of subsidiary

On 1 January 2018, the Group acquired 100% of the shares and voting interests in TMM Group Pty Ltd and its wholly 

owned subsidiaries (“TMM”).

The acquisition of TMM will provide the Group with additional civil capability that is expected to be an enabler to core 

mining work through contracts for initial site earthworks and construction services, as well as the ability to target site 

rehabilitation projects.

Consideration transferred

Total consideration on acquisition of $2.7 million included a cash payment ($1.0 million), cash provided to sellers for 

which shares were purchased on market ($1.0 million) and potential contingent consideration ($0.7 million).

Contingent consideration

The Group has agreed to pay the selling shareholders additional consideration up to a maximum of $7.0 million over the 

next three years if TMM’s EBITDA meets certain thresholds (after the consideration of changes in net debt) each financial 

year. The Group has included $745,000 as contingent consideration related to the additional consideration, which 

represents its fair value at the date of acquisition.

Acquisition related costs

The Group incurred acquisition costs of $0.2 million on legal fees and due diligence costs. These costs have been 

included in “Other expenses”.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The following table summarises the recognised amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date  

of acquisition.

The initial accounting for the acquisition of TMM Group has only been provisionally determined at the end of the 

reporting period. 

Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of $3 million is attributable to the skills and talent of TMM’s workforce and the 

synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because 

they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible 

for tax.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
PART H: OTHER INFORMATION/GROUP STRUCTURE
Note 32. Other significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies 

have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Application of new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations 

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the 

Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The accounting 

policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated entity’s annual  

financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2017, except for the new, revised or amended accounting 

standards below.

• 

• 

Amendments to AASB 7 Disclosure Initiative

Amendments to AASB 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not effective for the Group at 30 June 2018 or early adopted

A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is 

permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated 

financial statements.

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group is required to adopt AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers from 1 July 2018. AASB 15 establishes 

a single comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces 

existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer 

Loyalty Programmes. The core principles of AASB 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of 

promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be 

entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under AASB 15 an entity recognised revenue when (or as) a performance 

obligation is satisfied, i.e. when control of the goods or service underlying the performance obligation is transferred to 

the customer. The Group recognised revenue from the rendering of services.

Macmahon Group has operations primarily in mining services in Australia and Indonesia. Revenue for mining services 

is predominantly recognised on the basis of the work completed over time. These services have been determined to be 

one performance obligation as they are highly inter-related and performed over time with the customers receiving the 

benefit over time or as the service is performed.

Apart from providing more extensive disclosures, the Group does not anticipate that the application of AASB 15 will 

result in significant differences in the timing of revenue recognition for these services.

Transition

The Group plans to adopt IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method, with the effect of initially applying this standard 

recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 July 2018). As a result, the Group will not apply the requirements of IFRS 

15 to the comparative period presented.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments

The Group is required to adopt AASB 9 Financial Instruments from 1 July 2018. This standard replaces the existing 

guidance in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. AASB 9 includes revised guidance on the 

classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating 

impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements.

• 

Classification 

Financial assets - AASB 9 contains a new classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects 

the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. The standard contains three 

principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at amortised cost, FVOCI and FVTPL and eliminates 

the existing AASB 139 categories of held to maturity, loans and receivables and available for sale. Based on its 

assessment, the Group does not believe that the new classification requirements will have a material impact on its 

accounting for financial instruments.

122  |  MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2018

• 

Impairment 

AASB 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under AASB 139. The 

expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected 

credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

The Group expects to apply the simplified approach to recognise lifetime expected credit losses for its trade receivables 

and finance lease receivables.

The Group has determined that the application of AASB 9’s impairment requirements at 1 July 2018 will not have a 

material increase to the current impairment recognised for financial assets.

AASB 16 Leases

AASB 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including AASB 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement 

contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases – Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the 

Legal Form of a Lease.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted for entities 

that apply AASB 15 at or before the date of initial application of AASB 16. The Group has not early adopted AASB 16. The 

standard introduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use 

asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease 

payments. There are recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting 

remains similar to the current standard – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance or operating leases. 

In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now change as AASB 16 replaces the straight-line 

operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and interest expense on lease liabilities.

The actual impact of applying AASB 16 on the financial statements in the period of initial application will depend on 

future economic conditions, including the Group’s borrowing rate at 1 January 2019, the composition of the Group’s lease 

portfolio at that date, the Group’s latest assessment of whether it will exercise any lease renewal options and the extent 

to which the Group chooses to use practical expedients and recognition exemptions.

The Group is in the process of completing its detailed assessment, however expect there to be an increase in “right to use 

assets” and lease liabilities.

Other standards

The following amended standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s 

consolidated financial statements.

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle

Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 28

Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions (Amendments to IFRS 2)

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards 

and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001, as 

appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting 

Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’).

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, defined benefit plan 

assets and liabilities and derivative financial instruments which are stated at their fair value. Certain property, plant and 

equipment and inventory is recognised at fair value less costs to sell and net realisable value respectively.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires 

management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the consolidated entity’s accounting policies. The areas 

involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the 

financial statements, are included in the respective notes to the financial statements.

MACMAHON  ANNUAL REPORT 2018  | 123

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
PART H: OTHER INFORMATION/GROUP STRUCTURE
Note 32. Other significant accounting policies continued

Parent entity information

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity 

only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 30.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Macmahon Holdings 

Limited (‘parent entity’) as at 30 June 2018 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended. Macmahon 

Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the ‘consolidated entity’.

Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the 

Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net 

assets/liabilities acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain or bargain purchase is 

recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt 

or equity securities. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing 

relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are all those entities over which the consolidated entity has control. The consolidated entity controls an 

entity when the consolidated entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity 

and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully 

consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the consolidated entity. They are de-consolidated from the 

date that control ceases.

Interest in equity accounted investees

The consolidated entity’s interests in equity accounted investees comprise interests in associates and joint ventures.

Associates are those entities in which the consolidated entity has significant influence, but not control or joint control, 

over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the consolidated entity has joint 

control, whereby the consolidated entity has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets 

and obligations for its liabilities.

Interest in associates and the joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. They are recognised initially at 

cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include 

the consolidated entity’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, until 

the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity 

are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the 

asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the 

policies adopted by the consolidated entity.

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Macmahon Holdings Limited’s functional and 

presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of 

the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the 

translation at the reporting date exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are 

recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the 

124  |  MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2018

reporting date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the reporting date are translated to 

the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated 

into Australian dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other 

comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely 

in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are recognised to form 

part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are presented in 

the foreign currency translation reserve in equity.

Revenue recognition

Revenue (including maintenance services) is recognised when the services are provided and is based on surveys of work 

performed where applicable. Revenues are based on volumes of work performed on a monthly basis and in certain 

contracts are performed throughout the first life of the underlying mine or continuously throughout the duration of  

the contract.

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, to the extent that it is probable that 

the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Current and non-current classification

Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal 

operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the 

reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a 

liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for 

the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional 

right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are 

classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.

Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) and other similar taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 

recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part 

of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST 

recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of 

financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities 

which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to,  

the tax authority.

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held 

for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single 

coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a 

view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or 

loss and other comprehensive income.

Rounding of amounts

The consolidated entity is of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial / Directors’ Reports) 

Instrument 2016/191, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to ‘rounding-off’. Amounts 

in this report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the nearest thousand dollars, or in certain 

cases, the nearest dollar.

accounting policies 

  Directors’ Declaration. 

The Group consists of the Company and the 
entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to 
time during the financial year. 

Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit 
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the 
audit of the Financial Report section of our report.  

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical 
requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We 
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

Key Audit Matters 

The Key Audit Matters we identified are: 

  Significant transaction – Batu Hijau Plant and 

Equipment acquisition; 

  Recognition of Management fee revenue 

  Assessment of potential onerous contract – 

Telfer. 

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.

Significant transaction – Batu Hijau Plant and Equipment acquisition ($182.5 million) 

Refer to Note 14 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

On 8 August 2017 Macmahon Holdings Limited’s 
wholly owned subsidiary PT Macmahon 
Indonesia (“Macmahon Indonesia”) completed a 
transaction with PT Amman Mineral Nusa 
Tenggara (“AMNT”) in which Macmahon 
Indonesia acquired $182.5 million of mining 
equipment. In consideration, 954 million shares 
were issued to an AMNT subsidiary, giving 
AMNT a 44.3% shareholding in Macmahon 
Holdings Limited.  

As part of the transaction, Macmahon Indonesia 
secured a Mining and Leasing Services contract 
to become the mining services contractor at 
AMNT’s Batu Hijau Mine in Indonesia.  

The transaction is considered a key audit matter 
due to its size and accounting complexity. 
Various aspects of the transaction needed to be 
considered such as the potential for the 
transaction to represent a lease, a business 
combination or an asset acquisition. The Group 
engaged an external expert to provide accounting 
advice on this transaction. Significant audit effort 
was required to assess the terms of the contract 
to evaluate the recognition and measurement of 
the transaction against the requirements of the 
accounting standards. 

Our procedures included: 

  Reading the Transaction Implementation Deed 
and Mining and Leasing Services contract, 
together with associated transaction 
documents, to obtain a detailed understanding 
of the contractual terms and conditions of the 
transaction.  

  Reading the external expert accounting advice 
received by the Group, including understanding 
their scope and limitations, evaluating key 
considerations in the advice on the various 
aspects of the transaction against the terms of 
the above agreements.  In addition we 
evaluated the competence, and objectivity of 
the external expert.  

  Working together with our technical accounting 
specialists, we critically assessed the Group’s 
accounting treatment for the above agreements 
against the recognition and measurement 
requirements of the accounting standards.  The 
particular impacts we focused on were those 
relating to leases, business combinations, 
property, plant and equipment and share based 
payments. 

  Evaluating the Group’s disclosures regarding the 
transaction against the requirements of the 
accounting standards. 

Recognition of Management fee revenue  

Refer to Note 25 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

Included within Revenue is the Batu Hijau Project 
management fee recognised by a wholly owned 
subsidiary, PT Macmahon Indonesia.  The 
management fee represents a significant 
proportion of the Group’s profit from continuing 
operations for FY 2018. 

The management fee is earned by achieving 
specified tonnage movement measures within 
the twelve months ended 31 December 2018 in 
line with the terms of the Mining and Leasing 
Services contract with AMNT.  

Our procedures included:  

  Reading the Batu Hijau Mining and Leasing 
Services contract, together with approved 
variations to obtain a detailed understanding of 
the terms and conditions, including performance 
measures. We critically assessed the Group’s 
accounting treatment against the requirements 
of the accounting standards. 

  Assessing forecast tonnage movement through 
inquiries with the Group to understand the 
specific plans and risks to achieving future 
operating performance measures. 

MACMAHON  ANNUAL REPORT 2018  | 129

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED

Achieving the management fee is dependent on 
the Group implementing plans to achieve 
forecast tonnage movement.  

  Assessing plans and assumptions underpinning 
the forecast tonnage movement of the contract 
to 31 December 2018 by: 

This is a key audit matter due to the increased 
audit effort in assessing estimation uncertainty 
and its significance to profit from continuing 
operations.  

  comparing actual tonnage movement since 

commencement of the contract, to 
management reports and customer 
confirmation;  

  challenging assumptions of forecast 

tonnage movement with actual tonnage 
movement to date together with 
incremental tonnage assumed through the 
deployment of additional equipment and 
resources.  

 

reading the minutes of the Batu Hijau 
Project leadership meeting which 
comprises senior management of the 
Group and AMNT where actual and forecast 
tonnage performance is considered; and 

  checking the feasibility of the Group’s plans 

with regards to this contract to the 
customer’s mine plan. 

Assessment of potential onerous contract – Telfer  

Refer to Note 13 to the Financial Report 

The key audit matter 

How the matter was addressed in our audit 

The assessment of a potential onerous contract 
for the Telfer Mining Services Contract (contract) 
is considered a key audit matter due to the 
contract incurring significant losses to date and 
the estimation uncertainty in forecasting cash 
flows, leading to increased audit risk. 

Our procedures included: 

In relation to significant losses incurred to date we 
assessed the Group’s analysis of the actual costs 
incurred, by: 

  Reading monthly management reports. 

The Group’s assessment of the potential of the 
contract to be onerous is based on forecast cash 
flows over the remaining contract term.  

  Obtaining and reading correspondence between 

the Group and customer for evidence of 
performance issues and concerns. 

We focused on evaluating the Group’s 
assessment of forecast cash flows, in particular 
the impact of various productivity initiatives 
including replacement and deployment of 
equipment. 

 

Inquiring with operational management on 
contract performance. 

  Testing a statistical sample of costs incurred on 
the contract to underlying documentation. 

In relation to the forecast cash flows over the 
remaining contract term we challenged the forecast 
for feasibility and consistency by: 

  Reading the terms of the contract including 

performance conditions, contract variations and 
comparing these to terms used in the forecast.  

130  |  MACMAHON ANNUAL REPORT 2018

 
 
 
 
 
 
  Comparing forecast cash flows to past events 

resulting in losses from our procedures outlined 
above. 

  Comparing forecast cash flows to recent actual 

performance. 

 

Inspecting updated mine plans and production 
schedules to check for consistency against the 
forecast cash flows. 

  Reading the following for evidence of issues or 
concerns relevant to the forecast period: 

  Correspondence between the Group and 

customer. 

  Minutes of the quarterly management 
meetings between the Group and 
customer. 

  The Group’s monthly board minutes.

reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors are 
responsible for the Other Information.  

Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not 
express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the 
Remuneration Report. 

In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In 
doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report 
or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, 
and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date 
of this Auditor’s Report we have nothing to report.

 

implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a 
true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error 

  assessing the Group and Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of 

the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters 
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report 

Our objective is: 

 

 

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and  

to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.  

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 
accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the 
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the 
basis of the Financial Report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing 
and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. 
This description forms part of our Auditor’s Report.
