Thank you for taking the time to read our annual 
report on the Company’s most successful year since 
listing around ten years ago. The year will ultimately be 
remembered for the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and 
its impact on lives and markets globally. In coal markets 
it generated a demand cliff that saw prices reduce 
significantly for both thermal and metallurgical coal. In 
this environment many producers have taken significant 
action to reduce their production and costs. The flow-on 
effects to all in the industry have been quite significant.

So, how has Mastermyne fared in this difficult economic 
environment? The short answer is that your company has 
never been in better shape. The explanation, however, has 
its roots back in a similar downturn that hit the industry 
around 2014. During that period very low prices saw 
producers do what they always do – cut production and 
reduce costs. At that time Mastermyne had net debt of 
about $10 million and significant exposure to overhead 
costs meaning that the reduction in revenue caused 
financial losses and significant pressure from our bank. 
The Board and Management did what was necessary to 
restore financial health including substantially cutting 
overheads (meaning people lost their jobs), eliminating 
dividends, stopping capital investment and prioritising 
debt repayments. Thankfully these actions bolstered our 
balance sheet and eventually coal prices recovered (as 
they always do) and profitability improved.

More importantly, the Board adjusted our strategy to 
better recognise the industry cycles and ensure financial 
health throughout the full economic cycle. Overhead 
reductions were sustained by investment in our systems, 
allowing us to leverage processes company wide and 
retain more margin from new contracts. Excess cash  
was allocated to eliminating debt and establishing a strong 
net cash position. Dividends recommenced once the 
balance sheet reached a position of strength rewarding 
our patient shareholders. 

The company ended this latest financial period, having 
invested significantly in fleet renewal, with net cash 
of $21.4 million. We are well positioned to invest in 
opportunities in a counter cyclical fashion when the 
economics of many investments are more favourable.  
And, while sadly a lot of people have left the company  
as contracts have ended, we have been able to retain 
many talented leaders and redeploy them.

At our full year results we articulated our approach to 
managing our capital. We will aim to maintain a net cash 
position of up to $20 million. This is essential to ensure the 
company can operate within an industry renowned for its 
strong price cycles. We will pay out 40-60% of net profit 
after tax in dividends to shareholders. Dividends will be 
weighted with a more conservative interim dividend.  
Other capital management initiatives will be considered 
from time to time and we will continue to invest in growth.

The Company continues to enjoy the benefit of a  
stable, high quality leadership team under Tony Caruso’s 
leadership. In a year that presented numerous unique 
challenges, the whole Mastermyne team has performed 
magnificently. I thank all Board members and the 
Leadership Team for their outstanding contribution  
to leading Mastermyne. I also thank all of our employees 
for their continued efforts and contribution to 
Mastermyne’s performance.

I hope you enjoy reading our Annual Report and  
I welcome your feedback at any time.

COL BLOOMFIELD.

In the year ahead, the Board is focussed on strong 
performance at our existing contracts facilitated by 
continued investment in our people and technologies. 
The development of our people is a critical goal on our 
business strategy as we strongly believe this is a source 
of competitive advantage. This investment is occurring 
through on-the-job learning programs, feedback systems 
and formal training and development. These initiatives 
are backed up by a succession planning process to ensure 
the availability of high quality people to lead our business 
for a long time to come.

The Board continues to evaluate opportunities to establish 
“whole of mine” operations for suitable clients. This model 
is well suited to clients with access to mining leases but 
limited knowledge, capability or resources to develop 
underground operations. Mastermyne is able to deliver 
very competitive bord and pillar style operations backed up 
by our production results achieved at existing client sites. 
We continue to evaluate a number of opportunities and are 
confident that at some point one of these will be initiated.

The other main area of potential growth is the 
underground metalliferous sector. After successfully 
acquiring and integrating Wilson Mining into the 
Mastermyne Group last year we have been introducing 
its products and services into that sector. Already we 
have delivered successful projects to underground 
metalliferous mines. Beyond this we are looking to 
strengthen our capability in this sector and evaluate  
other potential entry points.

FY2020 has been a record year for the business and  
we are extremely pleased to have delivered revenue and 
margins in line with guidance set well before the outbreak 
of the COVID-19. This result demonstrates again the 
quality of our business and the integral role we play  
in our client’s operations as they continue to supply 
 high quality product into the global export market.

Towards the back end of the financial year we did see 
some impact from the virus, not in the day to day 
operations, but in the softening of coal prices as demand 
for coal decreased and the global steel industry dealt 
with softening demand for steel. As we move into the 
new financial year coal prices remain under pressure 
however all indications are that as global economies 
move to stimulate and accelerate economic recoveries, 
metallurgical coal prices will benefit strongly. 

As we move into FY2021 we are well positioned with an 
order book of circa $240 million made up of contracted 
and recurring revenue. This places us in a strong position 
so early in the new year and as with every financial year 
we expect to bring through additional revenue from 
projects that are working their way through the tendering 
pipeline. This base line order book will underpin the 
continued generation of strong cash flows and allows us 
to maintain our excellent capability and profitability and 
to be well positioned to invest in equipment and people 
and mobilise quickly as new projects are awarded. 

During this year we have continued to invest in growing 
our business and unlocking opportunities to expand and 
diversify the operations. The Wilson Mining acquisition 
has been an excellent example of where we have added 
complimentary services to the existing Mastermyne 
suite of services and through leveraging the Mastermyne 
relationships and networks we have been able to win back 
and grow new market share. 

Through the year we have successfully completed 
projects in the adjacent underground metalliferous 
sector which is underpinning a strategic and calculated 
expansion of our services into this adjacent market. As we 
grow this segment of our business we will invest in people 
and equipment and consider strategic acquisitions to 
support this area of growth. In parallel to this expansion 
we are continuing to work on our Whole of Mine projects 
and we have a number of these projects now working 
their way through the pipeline. We are pleased with this 
progress and are confident of delivering the first of these 
projects during the upcoming year.  

In summing up it has been an excellent financial result 
and the work that has been done over the year has set us 
up well for FY2021. We have plans in place to grow and 
expand the business and importantly we are financially 
positioned to deliver on this. I would like to thank all 
the management and staff across every part of the 
Mastermyne business who continually work to deliver 
exceptional results and position the business for further 
success. Thanks also goes to our board who through  
their experience and expertise continue to provide  
strong governance and strategic direction.

Thankyou to you our shareholders who continue  
to support the business and its direction. We  look 
forward to another excellent year and converting  
the opportunities that are  ahead of us.

This year the mining sector has unfortunately again seen 
a number of significant events across underground mines 
resulting in injuries and damage. Our safety performance 
continues to counter this trend of major incidents and we 
are pleased that many of our sites have again completed 
their work without incident over the full year. We will 
continue to focus heavily on our safety culture and invest 
in training and our systems to ensure that everyone 
 who comes to work at Mastermyne goes home safely  
at the completion of every shift.

effective corporate governance including the following:

The Company and its Board of Directors

Recommendations adopted by the ASX Corporate 
Governance Council (“Recommendations”) in the 
reporting period. These Recommendations are 
guidelines, designed to improve the efficiency, quality 
and integrity of the Company. The Recommendations 
are not prescriptive, but if a company considers that 
a recommendation should not be followed having 
regard to its own circumstances, the company has the 
flexibility not to follow it but in its Annual Report it 
must identify which Recommendations have not been 
followed and give reasons for not following them. 

This Corporate Governance Statement (“Statement”) 
and the Company’s suite of corporate governance 
documents referred to in the Statement, and other 
relevant information for stakeholders, are displayed on 
the Company’s website www.mastermyne.com.au. The 
Company has complied with the Recommendations, to 
the extent outlined in this Statement, throughout the 
year or as otherwise noted.

 3 a detailed definition of “independence” for the purposes 

of appointment of Directors;

 3 a framework for annual performance review and 

evaluation;

 3 approval of criteria for monitoring and evaluating  

the performance of senior executives;

 3 approving and monitoring capital management  

and major capital expenditure;

with the Company’s governing documents and Codes 
of Conduct;

 3 risk management – identifying risks, reviewing 

and ratifying the Company’s systems of internal 
compliance and control;

 3 establishment of Board committees: Audit & Risk 

Management Committee, Remuneration & Nomination 
Committee; and

 3 communications with Shareholders and the market.

These initiatives, together with other matters provided 
for in the Board Charter, are designed to promote good 
corporate governance and generally build a culture 
of best practice in Mastermyne Group’s own internal 
practices and in its dealings with others.

1.1 SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY  
OF BOARD

Responsibility for the Company’s proper corporate 
governance rests with the Board. The Board’s guiding 
principle in meeting this responsibility is to act honestly, 
conscientiously and fairly, in accordance with the law, in 
the interests of Mastermyne Group’s Shareholders (with 
a view to building sustainable value for the Shareholders) 
and those of employees and other stakeholders. The 
Board’s broad function is to:

 3 chart strategy and set financial targets for the 

Company;

 3 monitor the implementation and execution of strategy 
and performance against financial and non-financial 
targets; and

 3 appoint and oversee the performance of executive 
management and generally to take and fulfil an 
effective leadership role.

Power and authority in certain areas is specifically 
reserved to the Board – consistent with its function  
as outlined above. These areas include:

 3 composition of the Board itself including the 

appointment and removal of Directors;

 3 oversight of the Company including its control and 

accountability system;

 3 appointment and removal of senior management 

including the Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer 
and Company Secretary;

 3 reviewing and overseeing systems of risk management 
and internal compliance and control, codes of ethics 
and conduct, and legal and statutory compliances;

 3 monitoring senior management’s performance and 

implementation of strategy; and

 3 approving and monitoring financial and other reporting 

and the operation of committees.=

The Board has delegated functions, responsibilities 
and authorities to the Managing Director and senior 
executives to enable them to effectively manage the 
Company’s day-to-day activities.

– Independent non-executive Chairman

 3 Andrew Watts  

– Non-executive Director

 3 Gabriel Meena  

– Independent non-executive Director

 3 Julie Whitcombe  

– Independent non-executive Director

 3 Tony Caruso  

– Managing Director

Details of each Director’s qualifications, experience and 
expertise, their involvement in Board and committee 
meetings, and the period for which they have been in 
office, are set out in the Directors’ Report. All Directors, 
apart from the CEO, are subject to re-election by rotation 
at least every three years at the Company’s annual 
general meeting.

The Board’s view is that an independent Director is a 
non-executive Director who does not have a relationship 
affecting independence on the basis set out in the 
Council’s guidelines.  During the reporting period 
the Company Board composition was 3 independent 
directors and 2 non-independent directors, meeting 
the council’s recommendation requiring a majority of 
independent Directors. 

The Board periodically conducts a review of the skills and 
experience Directors to ensure they are appropriate for 
the Company’s activities.  The results of the most recent 
review conducted in the last period are shown below.

1.5 REMUNERATION & NOMINATION 
COMMITTEE

The purpose of this committee is to assist the Board 
and make recommendations to it in relation to the 
appointment of new Directors (both executive and 
non-executive) and senior executives and to oversee 
the remuneration framework for Directors and senior

undertaken annually, and Director performance review 
was last undertaken in October 2019. 

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee will meet as 
often as necessary, but must meet at least twice a year.

1.6 GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 
COMMITMENT

The Company is committed to achieving and maintaining 
the highest standards of conduct and has undertaken 
various initiatives, as outlined in this Statement, that are 
designed to achieve this objective. Mastermyne Group’s 
suite of corporate governance documents is intended 
to develop good corporate governance and, generally, 
to build a culture of best practice both in Mastermyne 
Group’s own internal practices and in its dealings with 
others. The following are a tangible demonstration of 
Mastermyne Group’s corporate governance commitment.

INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

With the prior approval of the Chairman, which may 
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, each Director 
has the right to seek independent legal and other 
professional advice concerning any aspect of the 
Company’s operations or undertakings in order to fulfil 
their duties and responsibilities as Directors. Any costs 
incurred are borne by Mastermyne Group.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Mastermyne Group has developed and adopted detailed 
Codes of Conduct to guide Directors, Senior Executives 
and employees in the performance of their duties.

 3 reviewing succession plans of senior executives and 

SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

Directors;

 3 recommending individuals for nomination as members 

of the Board and its committees;

 3 considering those aspects of the Company’s 

remuneration policies and packages, including 
equity-based incentives, which should be subject to 
shareholder approval;

 3 monitoring the size and composition of the Board;

 3 development of suitable criteria (with regard to skills, 
qualifications and experience) for Board candidates, 
whose personal attributes should encompass relevant 
industry experience and/or sound commercial or 
financial background;

 3 identification and consideration of possible candidates, 

and recommendation to the Board accordingly;

Mastermyne Group has developed and adopted a 
formal Securities Trading Policy to regulate dealings in 
securities by Directors, key management personnel and 
other employees, and their associates. This is designed 
to ensure fair and transparent trading in accordance 
with both the law and best practice. The policy includes 
restrictions and clearance procedures in relation to when 
trading can and cannot occur during stated ‘closed’ 
and ‘prohibited’ periods and whilst in possession of 
price sensitive information. Otherwise, those persons 
may generally deal in securities during stated ‘trading 
windows’. The Board will ensure that restrictions on 
dealings in securities are strictly enforced.

1.7 COMPLIANCE WITH THE ASX 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COUNCIL 
RECOMMENDATIONS

The Board has assessed the Company’s current  
practices against the Recommendations and outlines  
its assessment below:

PRINCIPLE 1 – LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR 
MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

The role of the Board and delegation to management 
have been formalised as described in this Statement  
and the Board Charter, and will continue to be refined,  
in accordance with the Recommendations. 

Mastermyne ensures that appropriate checks are 
undertaken before it appoints a person, or puts 
forward to shareholders a new candidate for election, 
as a director. Information about a candidate standing 
for election or re-election as a director is provided 
to shareholders to enable them to make an informed 
decision on whether or not to elect or re-elect  
the candidate.

Directors are provided with a letter on appointment 
which details the terms and conditions of their 
appointment, provides clear guidance on what input is 
required by them, and includes materials to assist with 
induction into the Company. The Company has a similar 
approach for all senior executives whereby they are 
provided with a formal letter of appointment setting out 
their terms of office, duties, rights and responsibilities 
as well as a detailed job description. The Board has 
delegated responsibilities and authorities to the CEO and 
other executives to enable management to conduct the 
Company’s day to day activities. Matters which exceed 
defined authority limits require Board approval.

The processes for evaluating the performance of senior 
executives, the board and its committees and individual 
directors, are set out in the Board Charter, Audit & Risk 
Management Committee Charter and Remuneration & 
Nomination Committee Charter.  All reviews have taken 
place in accordance with these charters.  Mastermyne 
Group complies with the Recommendations in this area.

The Company Secretary is accountable directly to  
the Board, through the Chair, on all matters to do  
with the proper functioning of the Board.

PRINCIPLE 2 – STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD 
VALUE

The Board currently consists of five directors, including 
one executive Director. Profiles of each Director outlining 
their appointment dates, qualifications, directorships 
of other listed companies (including those held at any 
time in the 3 years immediately before the end of the 
financial year), experience and expertise, are set out in the 
Directors’ Report. 

Three Directors, Mr Colin Bloomfield, Mr Gabriel Meena 
and Julie Whitcombe, are independent (in terms of 
the criteria detailed in the Recommendations), giving 
the Board the benefit of independent and unfettered 
judgment. The other two Directors, comprising one 
founder who is a non-executive Director and the 
Managing Director, are not independent. 

There are procedures in place to allow Directors to 
seek, at Mastermyne Group’s expense, independent 
advice concerning any aspect of Mastermyne Group’s 
operations.

A Remuneration & Nomination Committee has been 
established with its own charter, as detailed above. 

The Board is committed to a performance evaluation 
process being conducted periodically (a performance 
evaluation was completed in October 2019).

PRINCIPLE 3 – PROMOTE ETHICAL AND 
RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING

The Board has adopted detailed Codes of Conduct 
to guide Directors, executives and employees in the 
performance of their duties.

The codes have been designed with a view to ensuring 
the highest ethical and professional standards, as well 
as compliance with legal obligations, and therefore 
compliance with the Recommendations. 

The Company recognises the benefits that can arise 
to the organisation from diversity in the workplace 
covering gender, age, ethnicity and cultural background 
and in various other areas. So, the Board has approved a 
Diversity Policy which details the Company’s approach to 
promoting a corporate culture that embraces diversity 
when selecting and appointing its employees and 
Directors. 

This policy outlines measurable objectives for achieving 
gender diversity throughout the Company over the longer 
term, and progress towards achieving them has been 
assessed as follows:

 3 20% of the Board are women
 3 17% of Senior Executives are women
 3 3 women on formal and active succession for Senior 

Executive roles 

 3 Australian Government Certification of Compliance 

with the Workplace Gender Equality Act 

PRINCIPLE 8 – REMUNERATE FAIRLY  
AND RESPONSIBLY

Remuneration of Directors and executives is fully 
disclosed in the Remuneration Report (contained in the 
Directors’ Report) and any material changes with respect 
to key executives will be announced in accordance with 
continuous disclosure principles. During the reporting 
period the Remuneration & Nomination Committee had 
four non-executive Director members of which three are 
independent and the Chair is an independent Director. 

The aggregate level of non-executive Directors’ 
remuneration is currently set at $300,000 approved on 
22 March 2010 and any increase must be approved by 
shareholders. Non-executive Directors are not provided 
with any retirement benefits, other than statutory 
superannuation.

 3 Equal pay has been achieved in all positions regardless 

PRINCIPLE 7 – RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISKS

The company operates under an enterprise wide 
risk management framework summarised in the risk 
management policy adopted by the board which can be 
found on the Company’s website. The framework in place 
ensures the company identifies and keeps an up-to-date 
understanding of areas where it may expose itself to risk 
and implement effective management of those risks.

Oversight of the risk management framework is 
undertaken by the Audit and Risk Management 
Committee which assists the board in its oversight  
role by:

 3 the implementation and review of risk management 
and related internal control and compliance systems

 3 monitoring the companies policies and procedures, 
ensuring compliance with the relevant laws and 
company’s code of conduct; and

 3 annual review of the risk management framework, 
to evaluate and continually look to improve the 
effectiveness of the Company’s risk management and 
internal control processes.  Such a review has been 
undertaken during the most recent reporting period 

The Board considers that the Company does not currently 
have any material exposure to environmental and social 
risks which require active management.

The Company does not have a separate internal audit 
function due to its relatively small size and less complex 
financial and organisational structures. The board does 
engage a third party periodically to conduct forensic 
testing on the Company’s internal controls.

The Board has received assurance from the Chief 
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer that the 
declaration provided in accordance with section 295A of 
the Corporations Act is founded on a sound system of risk 
management and internal control and that the system is 
operating effectively in all material respects in relation to 
financial reporting risks.

of gender

 3 Flexible working arrangements to facilitate return to 

work arrangements after maternity leave 

 3 Executive and Senior Leadership participation in 

women mentoring programs

 3 ‘Baby Benefit’ payment for male and female 

employees

 3 Flexible working arrangements to support transition 
into retirement to extend working-life and retain 
capability

PRINCIPLE 4 – SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY  
IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Audit & Risk Management Committee, with its own 
charter, complied with the Recommendations for the 
majority of the year.   All the members of this committee 
are required to be financially literate.

PRINCIPLE 5 – MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED 
DISCLOSURE

Policies for compliance with ASX Listing Rule disclosure 
requirements are included in the Company’s Board 
Charter and Continuous Disclosure Policy and are aligned 
with the Recommendations.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RESPECT THE RIGHTS  
OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Board recognises the importance of this principle 
and strives to communicate with Shareholders regularly 
and clearly, both by electronic means and using more 
traditional communication methods. Shareholders 
are encouraged to attend and participate at general 
meetings. The Company’s auditors are required to attend 
the annual general meeting and are available to answer 
Shareholder’s questions relevant to the audit.  Security 
holders are able to ask questions of the company or the 
auditors electronically as detailed in the company’s notice 
of meeting.  Security holders can also request to receive 
communications electronically via the Company’s share 
registry Link Market Services.

As part of the Company’s management of investor 
relations the CEO does, at times, also undertake briefings 
with investors and analysts to assist their understanding 
of the Company and its operations, and provide 
explanatory background and technical information.

The Company has not published a formal communications 
policy because it sees no need as its stated practices 
generally comply with the Recommendations, and it 
has covered a number of aspects of this principle in its 
Continuous Disclosure Policy, including in relation to 
briefings with investors and analysts.

Mastermyne Group Limited and its controlled subsidiaries

The Company has delivered a record financial result which 
featured a strong Net Cash position of $21.4 million after 
dividends, acquisition payments and capital expenditure 
through the year. New projects were won during the year 
along with renewal of existing projects and the Company 
successfully completed projects in NSW. The new projects 
are now contributing at full run rate and underpin a very 
healthy order book for FY2021 and beyond. As a result, 
the Company has declared a final dividend of 4.0 cents 
per share (fully franked) bringing the total dividend 
payment for the year to 6 cents per share.

Key highlights of the FY2020 result are:

 3 Safe operations remains our primary focus with 

lengthy injury free periods at multiple sites

 3 Record revenue and NPAT well ahead of the PCP 

(Revenue increased by 23% to $292.7 million and Net 
Profit up 37%1 to $11.7 million)

 3 Reported EBITDA of $28.6 million with margins 

increasing to 9.8% (8.8% before AASB16 impact in line 
with PCP)

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

The Company was successful in securing contract 
extensions at Anglo American Moranbah North Mine, 
Glencore Integra Mine and BMA Broadmeadow Mine. 
It also secured a major new contract for the Aquila 
Underground Development project (Anglo American) 
which contributed to the revenue growth and to a 
record order book of $656 million. In addition to the 
award and extension of contracts, scope increases 
were awarded with an additional development unit at 
Moranbah North and the conveyor installation works at 
Aquila Underground project. The Whitehaven Narrabri 
and South 32 Appin projects were both successfully 
completed and demobilised at the end of FY2020.

The Wilson Mining acquisition was completed early 
FY2020 and integration now successfully completed. 
The strategic acquisition further complemented 
the underground suite of services provided by the 
Mastermyne group, providing strong mining operational 
synergies for clients. Furthermore, the Wilson Mining 

acquisition has provided a productive platform for 
diversification opportunities into other underground 
commodities.

The Company commissioned a second Mynesight 
training facility in Wollongong NSW. The facility includes 
a simulated underground coal mining operation, which 
provides valuable training to new entrants to the 
underground coal environment. The facility also allows 
access to the Wollongong coal operations in the region 
to provide induction and refresher training to these 
workforces.

The Company continues its focus on improving safety 
outcomes with good results achieved across all the 
projects. Recent industry events reinforces the Group’s 
continuing focus on risk management and reducing 
exposure to critical risks. In addition, the now embedded 
“Brian Science” program continues to build our self-
supporting safety culture, and provides key insights into 
our safety message delivery and behaviours.

As revenue continued to grow to record levels, the 
Company has maintained its disciplined approach to 
overheads with only minimal escalation to support the 
increased activities, and subsequently overheads have 
materially decreased as a percentage of revenue. Despite 
costs from the inclusion of Wilson Mining, the Company 
was still very pleased with an increase of EBITDA margins 
to 9.8% (8.8% before AASB16 impact in line with PCP).

During the period, $13.4 million ($9.1 million net of 
funding) in capital was invested to overhaul mining 
equipment for hire into new long term contracts, and 
acquire new fleet which has been a strong contributor to 
the strength in the EBITDA margin for FY2020.

The Company maintains an exceptionally strong balance 
sheet through strong operational performance and 
working capital management, resulting in a Net Cash 
position of $21.4 million. Included in this strong Net Cash 
position is the impact of cash outflows for returns to 
shareholders through dividends, acquisition payment 
for Wilson Mining and major project related capital 
investment to further bolster future margins.

The Group’s order book, which is heavily weighted to 
Metallurgical coal projects (~95%), currently stands at 
a $656 million with $208 million of this to be delivered 
FY2021, and $448 million in FY2022 and beyond. In 
addition to the contracted works, the Company forecasts 
a further $30-40 million per annum in recurring and 
purchase order work.

With the record results achieved, resulting in a strong 
balance sheet and cash position, exceptional cashflow 
generation and future order book, the Group has 
continued the commitment of returns to shareholders 
and declared of a final ordinary dividend of 4.0 cents per 
share (fully franked) for FY2020.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOWS

The overall cash position at 30 June 2020 represented a 
net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $8.9 million. 
The increase was a result of strong EBITDA performance 

and active management of working capital. Furthermore, 
the cash increase also allowed for returns to shareholders 
through dividends, capital investment in current and new 
equipment fleet, and the acquisition of Wilson Mining 
Services Pty Ltd during the period.

The cash flow movements were as follows:

 3 net cash inflows from operating activities for the year 
ended 30 June 2020 of $30.8 million (year ended 30 
June 2019: inflows of $22.2 million), represented by 
cashflow generation from operational performance 
and strong working capital management;

 3 net cash outflows from investing activities for the year 
ended 30 June 2020 of $12.7 million (year ended 30 
June 2019: outflows of $2.2 million), represented by 
capital investment in new and existing fleet and the 
acquisition purchase price for Wilson Mining Services 
Pty Ltd; and

 3 net cash outflows from financing activities for the year 
ended 30 June 2020 of $9.2 million (year ended 30 
June 2019: outflows of $3.2 million), represented the 
payment of dividends, repayment on on-going lease 
liabilities, offset by funding provided for the purchase 
of new equipment.

The net assets of the Group have increased from $64.3 
million (30 June 2019) to $73.9 million at 30 June 
2020. Significant changes for the period included the 
recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding 
lease liabilities in accordance with introduction of AASB 
16 requirements. In addition, the impacts as a result of 
the acquisition of Wilson Mining Services Pty Ltd and 
the related contingent liability payments have been 
recognised in the period.

In addition to an exceptionally strong cash balance 
and Net Cash position, the Group maintains significant 
headroom in its current bank facilities providing 
additional working capital to support future growth. 
Mastermyne has invoice finance facility limit of $20.0 
million for working capital and a further $10.0 million for 
equipment funding.

OUTLOOK

Despite the impacts of global COVID-19 restrictions the 
outlook for metallurgical coal continues to be supported 
by strong fundamentals. The demand for Australian 
seaborne metallurgical coal is expected to remain robust 
in the medium to long term. The Company’s exposure to 
metallurgical coal is strong at ~95% of the current order 
book.

The on-going COVID-19 restrictions globally are 
anticipated to weigh on short term coal pricing, but 
metallurgical coal pricing is expected to recover sooner 
than thermal coal pricing. The Company is extremely 
well placed with a strong order book and balance sheet 
strength to manage this period, in addition, the ability 
and flexibility to seize opportunities as they arise.

The operational focus for Mastermyne in FY2021  
will be on executing the current order book safely  

and commercially to continue to generate strong free 
cash flows. Wilson Mining will support the ongoing 
growth for the mining business and our exposure  
to the underground metalliferous sector.

Lower capital investment is expected with a modest level 
of sustaining capital but this will continue to be reviewed 
in conjunction with new projects. Any investment in fleet 
will be designed to deliver EBITDA margin improvement.

The Company is continuing to progress several Whole 
of Mine (WoM) opportunities with one project now 
substantially progressed. The final decision on this WoM 
project could occur as early as the first half of the FY2021 
financial year. The Company is also progressing other 
growth strategies which will see continued diversification 
into the metalliferous sector.

The Company will continue with its disciplined capital 
management strategy maintaining a Net Cash position of 
up to $20 million allowing it to retain its financial strength 
through the market cycles and provide reliable returns to 
shareholders through dividend payments.

5. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) 
(CONTINUED)

(A) PRINCIPLES OF REMUNERATION (CONTINUED)

Compensation levels for Key Management Personnel 
(KMP) of the Group are competitively set to attract, retain 
and motivate appropriately qualified and experienced 
directors and executives. The Remuneration and 
Nomination Committee (RNC) obtains independent data 
on the appropriateness of remuneration packages of 
the Group given trends in comparative companies and 
sectors and both locally and nationally and the objectives 
of the Company’s compensation strategy.

The remuneration structures of the Group are designed 
to attract and reward suitably qualified candidates, 
reward the achievement of strategic objectives and 
achieve the broader outcome of creation of value for 
shareholders. The remuneration structures consist of 
both a fixed and variable component designed around 
KPI’s aligned with the short and long term strategic 
objectives of the Group. Remuneration structures reflect:

 3 the capability and experience of key management 

personnel;

 3 the key management personnel’s ability to control the 

relevant performance; and

 3 the recognition of the key management personnel’s 

contribution to the Group’s performance.

In addition to their salaries, the Group also provides 
non-cash benefits to its KMP and contributes to a post-
employment defined contribution superannuation plan on 
their behalf. The reviews are conducted under the terms 
of reference set down for the RNC.

FIXED REMUNERATION

Fixed remuneration consists of base compensation (which 
is calculated on total cost basis and includes any fringe 
benefit tax charges related to employee benefits including 
motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to 
superannuation funds. Executives may receive their 
fixed remuneration as cash, or cash with non-monetary 
benefits such as travel allowances.

Fixed remuneration is reviewed annually, or on promotion, 
by the RNC through a process that considers individual, 
segment and overall performance of the Group. In 
addition, external data is provided for analysis of KMP’s 
remuneration to ensure it remains competitive by 
benchmarking against the market place. The chairman 
of the RNC sources data independently of management 
from appropriate independent advisors. For key executive 
management other than the CEO/Managing Director, the 
CEO/Managing Director will submit recommendations 
to the RNC along with relevant supporting data and 
externally independent comparative information. A senior 
executive’s compensation may also be reviewed upon 
promotion or in line with movements in the market place 
during the period.

In FY 2020, fixed remuneration was increased for 5 
executives, with an average increase of 4%. This was done to 
align the remuneration with the level for comparative roles.

PERFORMANCE LINK REMUNERATION

LONG-TERM	INCENTIVES

Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate 
in performance linked remuneration of either a short or 
long term nature.

Performance linked remuneration includes both short-
term and long-term incentives and is designed to 
reward KMP for meeting or exceeding their financial and 
personal objectives. The short-term incentive (STI) is an 
‘at risk’ bonus provided in the form of cash.

SHORT-TERM	INCENTIVE	BONUS

The Mastermyne short term incentive plan was 
introduced as a structured incentive to reward KMP’s 
performance against predetermined KPIs.

Feature

Description

CEO/Managing Director: 75% of fixed

The STI metrics align with our strategic 
objectives of the Group, with specific financial 
and non-financial measures (normally 5 
or 6) for individual performance, group 
performance and underlying performance of 
the Group.

The financial performance objectives may 
vary by individual and are broadly based on 
profitability compared to budgeted amounts 
approved by the Board each year.
The non-financial objectives vary dependent 
upon position and responsibility and are 
aligned with the measures and targets set to 
achieve the strategic objectives of the Group 
on an annual basis.
At the end of the financial year, the RNC 
assess the actual performance of the 
Group, the relevant segment and individual 
against the KPI’s set at the beginning of 
the year. Payment of individual bonuses is 
based on the assessment of the RNC with 
recommendations from the Managing 
Director (for employees other than the 
Managing Director) taking into consideration 
the overall performance of the individual 
for the period. The Managing Director’s 
STI bonus is set by the board based on 
assessment of his/her performance against 
agreed KPIs as assessed by the RNC and 
recommended to the Board.
100% of the STI award is paid in cash at the 
end of the financial year.
STI payments must be self funding.
The Board has discretion to adjust 
remuneration outcomes up or down to 
prevent any inappropriate award outcomes, 
including reducing down to zero, if 
appropriate.

Board discretion

Executive KMP participate at the Board’s discretion, in the Employee Performance Rights Plan comprising annual grants 
of rights which are subject to various vesting conditions outlined in the table below. The purpose of the Employee 
Performance Rights Plan is to attract, motivate and retain executives, encouraging individuals to participate in the 
company through ownership of shares. The objective is to improve Mastermyne’s performance by aligning the interests 
to those of the shareholders and the Group.

The opportunity is divided by the share price face value to determine the number of rights.
Vesting of the rights will be subject to achievement of the vesting conditions set out below:
• Vesting Condition 1: The main Vesting Condition is that the eligible participant must be employed within the 
Group on the Test Date. If employment has ceased with the Group prior to the Test Date, the performance rights 
will lapse unless the Board at its absolute discretion determines otherwise.
• Vesting Condition 2: Vesting is also conditional on the continuation of good conduct and the execution of duties 
in the best interests of Mastermyne. If it is deemed the eligible participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, 
or is in breach of obligations to Mastermyne, the Board at its discretion may determine that some or all of the 
performance rights will lapse.
• Vesting Condition 3: There is an overriding Vesting Condition, requiring a minimum 8% total shareholder return 
(TSR) during the TSR measurement period (i.e. from the Time of Grant to the Test Date).
• Vesting Condition 4: If Vesting Condition 3 is achieved there are two further Vesting Conditions that will each 
be applied independently to 50% of the performance rights. Both of these Vesting Conditions depend on 
Mastermyne’s TSR percentile rank during the TSR measurement period:
(a) Tranche A: 50% of the performance rights will be conditional on the Company’s TSR rank relative to companies 
in the ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation index; and
(b) Tranche B: 50% of the performance rights will be conditional on the Company’s TSR rank relative to companies 
in the ASX 200 Resources Accumulation index.
For each tranche, the percentage of performance rights which will vest will be as specified in the table below:

We aim to align our executive remuneration to our 
strategic and business objectives and the creation of 
shareholder wealth. The table below shows measures 
of the Group’s financial performance over the last five 
years as required by the Corporations Act 2001. However, 
these are not necessarily consistent with the measures 
used in determining variable amounts of remuneration 
to be awarded to KMPs. As a consequence, there may 
not always be a direct correlation between statutory key 
performance measures and the variable remuneration.

Profit is considered one of the financial performance 
targets in setting STI. Profit amounts for 2016 to 2020 
have been calculated in accordance with Australian 
Accounting Standards (AASBs).

The overall level of KMP compensation takes into account 
the performance of the Group over a number of years. 
The Group’s profits have increased as a result of an 
improved sentiment and outlook in the coal industry 
over the past 12 months, resulting in a strong profit from 
ordinary activities.

(F) SERVICES FROM REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS

In the current year the RNC was presented with a report comparing KMP salaries across industry peers. The data was 
sourced from publicly available sources. No specific recommendations were sought on director or KMP remuneration 
due to the Board’s view that market circumstances were too fluid to allow historical information to provide a useful guide 
to appropriate remuneration levels.

$13,150 in external fees were paid for remuneration research reports during the 2020 financial year.

(G) NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ARRANGEMENTS

Non-executive Directors receive a board fee and fees for chairing or participating on board committees, see table below. 
They do not receive performance-based pay or retirement allowances. The fees are inclusive of superannuation. The 
chairman does not receive additional fees for participating in or chairing committees.

Fees are reviewed annually by the board taking into account comparable roles and market data provided by the board’s 
independent remuneration adviser.

The actual remuneration paid to Non-executive 
Directors during the year will vary from the

From time to time key management personnel and 
directors of the Group, or their related entities, may 
purchase goods or services from the Group. These 
purchases are on the same terms and conditions as those 
entered into by other Group employees or customers and 
are trivial or domestic in nature.

The Group is subject to various environmental regulations 
under both Commonwealth and State legislation in

10. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO 
REPORTING DATE

Other than the dividend declared subsequent to balance 
date as disclosed above, no matter or circumstance has 
arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected 
the Group’s operations, results or state of affairs, or may 
do so in future years.

11. LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS 

Despite the impacts of global COVID-19 restrictions the 
outlook for metallurgical coal continues to be supported 
by strong fundamentals. The demand for Australian 
seaborne metallurgical coal is expected to remain robust 
in the medium to long term. The on-going COVID-19 
restrictions globally are anticipated to weigh on short 
term coal pricing, but metallurgical coal pricing is 
expected to recover sooner than thermal coal pricing. 
The Sector continues to utilise contracting companies 
for their operational needs in order to maintain flexible 
operations and cost control with their organisations. The 
Company is continuing to progress several whole of mine 
opportunities with the potential to provide a material and 
resilient additional revenue stream for the Company.

Further information about likely developments in the 
operations of the Group and the expected results of those 
operations in future financial years has not been included 
in this report because disclosure of the information would 
be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

14. INSURANCE OF OFFICERS AND 
INDEMNITIES

INDEMNITY 

The Company has agreed to indemnify the following 
current Directors of the Company, Colin Bloomfield, 
Tony Caruso, Andrew Watts, Gabe Meena and Julie 
Whitcombe for all liabilities to another person (other than 
the Company or a related body corporate) that may arise 
from their position within the Company and its controlled 
entities, except where liability arises out of conduct 
involving a lack of good faith. The agreement stipulates 
that the Company will meet the full amount of any such 
liabilities including costs and expenses.

The Company has not made a relevant agreement, or 
indemnified against a liability, for any person who is or 
has been an auditor of the Company.

INSURANCE OF OFFICERS

During the financial year, the entity has paid premiums 
on behalf of the Company in respect of Directors’ and 
Officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts 
for the year ended 30 June 2020 and, since the end of 
the financial year, the entity has paid or agreed to pay 
on behalf of the Company, premiums in respect of such 
insurance contracts for the year ended 30 June 2021. 
Such insurance contracts insure against certain liability 
(subject to specific exclusions) persons who are or have 
been Directors or executive officers of the Company.

The Directors have not included details of the nature of 
the liabilities covered or the amount of the premiums 
paid in respect of the Directors’ and Officers’ liability and 
legal expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is 
prohibited under the terms of the contracts.

15. NON-AUDIT SERVICES

During the year, Pitcher Partners, the Company’s auditor, 
has performed certain other services in addition to their 
statutory duties.

The board of Directors has considered the non-audit 
services provided during the year by the auditor and, in 
accordance with written advice provided by resolution of 
the Audit & Risk Committee, is satisfied that the provision 
of those non-audit services during the year by the auditor 
is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor 
independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 for the following reasons:

 3 all non-audit services have been reviewed by the 
audit committee to ensure they do not impact the 
impartiality and objectivity of the auditor; and

 3 none of the services undermine the general principles 

relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including 
Independence Standards).

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor of 
the Company, Pitcher Partners, and its related practices 
for audit and non-audit services provided during the year 
are set out below.

237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring 
proceedings on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in 
any proceedings to which the Company is a party, for the 
purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the Group 
for all or part of those proceedings. The Group was not a

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements are for the Group consisting 
of Mastermyne Group Limited (“the Company”) and its 
controlled entities (together referred to as the ‘Group’ 
and individually as ‘Group entities’). The principal 
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this 
annual report are set out in the following notes to the 
financial statements. These policies have been applied 
consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated 
financial statements, and have been applied consistently 
by the Group entities.

These general purpose financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations 
Act 2001. These financial statements are presented in 
Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional 
currency and the functional currency of each entity in the 
Group. These financial statements have been prepared 
under the historical cost convention. Mastermyne Group 
Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing 
the financial statements. The Group is primarily involved 
in providing contracting services to the underground 
long wall mining operations and industrial products and 
services in the coalfields and supporting industries of 
Queensland and New South Wales.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The consolidated financial statements of the Mastermyne 
Group Limited Group also comply with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the 
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY 
THE GROUP

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised 
accounting standards and interpretations issued by the 
Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant 
to our operations and effective for an annual reporting 
period commencing 1 July 2019. Please refer to Note 2 
for further information.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements requires 
the use of certain critical accounting estimates which, 
by definition, will seldom equal the actual result. 
Management also needs to exercise judgement in 
applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas 
involving significant estimates, assumptions or 

judgements that have a significant risk of causing a 
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities within the next financial year are:

 3 Note 8(d): Recognition of deferred tax asset for carried-

forward tax losses;

 3 Note 13: Key assumptions used in value-in-use 

calculations;

 3 Note 16: Determining the lease term;
 3 Note 16: Determining the incremental borrowing rate;
 3 Note 23: Contingent consideration;
 3 Note 23: Valuation of acquired intangible assets; and
 3 Note 27: Measurement of share-based payments.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. 
They are based on historical experience and other 
factors, including expectations of future events that may 
have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed 
to be reasonable under the circumstances.

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT 
YET ADOPTED

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations 
have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 
2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted 
by the Group. These standards are not expected to have 
a material impact on the entity in the current or future 
reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

 GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the 
amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is 
recognised as part of the cost of 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 taxation 
authority is included with other receivables or payables in 
the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST 
components of cash flows arising from investing or 
financing activities which are recoverable from, or 
payable to the taxation authority, are presented as 
operating cash flows.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative 
Instrument 2016/191, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of 
amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the 
financial statements have been rounded off in accordance 
with the instrument to the nearest thousand dollars,  
or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

The financial statements were authorised for issue by 
the Directors on 18 August 2020. The Directors have the 
power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

Mastermyne Group Limited is a Company limited by 
shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its 
registered office and principal place of business is:

Riverside Plaza 
45 River Street 
Mackay QLD 4740

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

l

AASB 16 LEASES

The Group has adopted AASB 16 Leases using the 
modified retrospective approach from 1 July 2019 but 
has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting 
period, as permitted under the specific transition 
provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and 
the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are 
therefore recognised in the opening balance sheet on  
1 July 2019. The new accounting policies are disclosed  
in Note 16.

On adoption of AASB 16 Leases, the Group recognised 
lease liabilities in relation to leases which has previously 
been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles 
of AASB 117 Leases. These liabilities were measured 
at the present value of the remaining lease payments, 
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing 
rate as of 1 July 2019. The weighted average lessee’s 
incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities 
on 1 July 19 was 4%.

The Group did not have any leases previously classified  
as ‘finance leases’ at the date of initial application.

F

In applying AASB 16 for the first time, the Group has 
used the following practical expedients permitted by the 
standard:

 3 applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases 

with reasonably similar characteristics;

 3 relying on previous assessments on whether leases are 
onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment 
review - there were no onerous contracts as at 1 July 
2019;

 3 accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease 
term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-
term leases;

 3 excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the 
right-of-use asset at the date of initial application; and

 3 using hindsight in determining the lease term where the 
contract contains options to extend or terminate the 
lease.

The Group has also elected not to reassess whether 
a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial 
application. Instead, for contracts entered into before 
the transition date the Group relied on its assessment 
made applying AASB 117 Leases and Interpretation 4 
Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

(II)	MEASUREMENT	OF	LEASE	LIABILITIES

(III) MEASUREMENT OF RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The associated right-of-use assets were measured 
at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by 
the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments 
relating to that lease recognised in the consolidated 
balance sheet as at 30 June 2019.

(IV)  ADJUSTMENTS RECOGNISED IN THE 
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ON 1 JULY 2019

The change in accounting policy affected the following 
items in the consolidated balance sheet on 1 July 2019:

 3 right-of-use assets - increase by $957,000.
 3 lease liabilities - increase by $957,000.

An operating segment is a component of the Group 
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 
Group’s other components.

The Group’s operating segments are based on the 
internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board 
of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating 
Decision Makers (‘CODM’) in assessing performance and 
in determining the allocation of resources.

During the current reporting period, the Directors 
reassessed the reportable segments and are of the 
opinion that all operating segments meet the criteria 
for aggregation into a single reportable segment as 
the CODM reviews results, assesses performance and 
allocate resources at a Group level, and the operating 
segments have similar economic characteristics and 
customers.

As the information reported to the CODM is the 
consolidated results of the Group, the segment results 
for the year ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020 are 
shown throughout these financial statements and are not 
duplicated here.

For information regarding major customers, refer to Note 
22(b). The Group operates in one geographical segment, 
namely Australia.

For information regarding product and service sales, 
refer to Note 4 Revenue from contracts with customers.

4. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH 
CUSTOMERS

DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE FROM 
CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The Group derives revenue from contracts with 
customers from the transfer of goods and services over 
time and at a point in time as follows:

The company derives revenue from contracting, sale 
of goods and machinery hire. Revenue is recognised 
as, or when, goods or services are transferred to the 
customer, and is measured at an amount that reflects 
the consideration to which the company expects to be 
entitled in exchange for the goods or services.

CONSIDERATION INCLUDED IN THE MEASUREMENT 
OF REVENUE

The consideration to be received from customers may 
include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Where 
the contract includes a right to variable consideration, the 
Group estimates the amount of variable consideration 
using the most likely amount approach on a contract-
by-contract basis. Variable consideration is included in 
the measurement of revenue only to the extent that it is 
highly probable, based on historical experience, that a 
significant reversal of the cumulative amount recognised 
will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the 
variability is subsequently resolved.

Revenue is recognised for the major business activities as 
follows:

CONTRACTING

Contracting revenue is recognised over time, and 
dependent on the type of contract, is measured using 
either the input or output method. For schedule of rates 
contracts, the input method is used to recognise revenue 
based on the resources consumed, costs incurred or 
machine hours. For fixed price contracts the output 
method is used to recognise revenue on the basis of 
direct measurement of the value of goods or services 
transferred, for example, number of bolts installed.

SALE OF GOODS

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the 
Company transfers control of goods to a customer for the 
amount to which the Company expects to be entitled.

MACHINERY HIRE

Machinery hire revenue is recognised over time using the 
input method.

A receivable from a contract with a customer represents 
the company’s unconditional right to consideration 
arising from the transfer of goods or services to the 
customer (i.e., only the passage of time is required 
before payment of the consideration is due). Subsequent 
to initial recognition, receivables from contracts with 
customers are measured at amortised cost and are 
tested for impairment. Receivables from contracts with 
customers include trade and other receivables and 
unbilled revenue at year end.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective 
interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial 
assets except for financial assets that subsequently 
become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial 
assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net 
carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of 
the loss allowance).

Interest income is presented as finance income where 
it is earned from financial assets that are held for cash 
management purposes. Any other interest income is 
included in other income.

FINANCE EXPENSES

Finance expenses comprise interest expense on 
borrowings, interest in respect of lease liabilities and 
unwinding of the discount on provisions. Borrowing 
costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, 
construction or production of a qualifying asset are 
recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest 
method.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to 
temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end 
of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate 
taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which 
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts 
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax 
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred 
tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not 
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination 
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is 
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period 
and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is 
settled.

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and 
liabilities and where the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities 
are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to 
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other 
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or 
directly in equity, respectively.

TAX CONSOLIDATION LEGISLATION

Mastermyne Group Limited and its wholly-owned 
Australian controlled entities have implemented the 
tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence, these 
entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax 
assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the 
consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: RECOGNITION OF 
DEFERRED TAX ASSET FOR CARRIED FORWARD 
LOSSES

The deferred tax assets include an amount of $6,289,000, 
which relate to revenue losses totalling $20,964,000 
(2019: $23,550,000) which are available to be offset 
against future taxable income. These losses arose within 
Diversified Mining Services Pty Ltd and Wilson Mining 
Services Pty Ltd prior to the acquisition by the Group. 
The Group has concluded that the deferred assets will be 
recoverable using the estimated future taxable income 
based on the approved business plans and budgets for 
the Group. The losses can be carried forward indefinitely 
and have no expiry date.

Unbilled revenue represents receivables from contracts 
with customers for which the Company has an 
unconditional right to consideration arising from the 
transfer of goods or services from the customer, but but 
has not been invoiced at balance date. They are generally 
converted to trade receivables within 30 days and then 
due for settlement and are therefore all classified as 
current. The Group holds unbilled revenue with the 
objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and 
therefore measures them subsequently at amortised 
cost using the effective interest method, less any loss 
allowance.

Inventories recognised as expense in cost of goods 
sold during the year ended 30 June 2020 amounted to 
$3,769,000 (2019: $4,264,000).

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower 
of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct 
materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of 
variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being 
allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs 
are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis 
of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory 
are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. 
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.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost 
using the effective interest method. Amortised cost 
is calculated by taking into account any discount or 
premium on acquisition over the period of maturity. We 
establish an allowance for expected credit losses for loans 
and receivables using the simplified approach permitted 
by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be 
recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables 
and unbilled revenue have been grouped based on 
shared credit risk characteristics and the days past 
due. The unbilled revenue represents receivables from 
contracts with customers for which the Company has 
an unconditional right to consideration arising from the 
transfer of goods or services to the customer (i.e. only 
the passage of time is required before payment of the 
consideration is due) and have substantially the same 
risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same 
types of contracts. The Group has therefore concluded 
that the expected loss rates for trade receivables are 
a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the 
unbilled revenue.The expected loss rates are based on 
the historical credit losses experienced over the previous 
ten years. We adjust historical loss rates to reflect current 
and forward looking information on macroeconomic 
factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the 
receivables.

(I)	TRADE	AND	OTHER	RECEIVABLES

r
o
F

Trade and other receivables are amounts due from 
customers for goods sold or services performed in the 
ordinary course of business. They are generally due 
for settlement within 30 days and are therefore all 
classified as current. Trade and other receivables are 
recognised initially at the amount of consideration that 
is unconditional unless they contain significant financing 
components, when they are recognised at fair value. 
The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective 
of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore 
measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less any loss allowance.

Trade and other receivables include amounts for 
insurance reimbursements if the Group is virtually certain 
that some or all of a contractual claim will be reimbursed. 
The expense and reimbursement are presented on a net 
basis in the profit and loss.

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less 
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment 
losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly 
attributable to the acquisition of the items. The cost of 
self constructed assets includes the costs of materials 
and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to 
bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended 
use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items 
and restoring the site on which they are located and 
capitalised borrowing costs.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment 
have different useful lives, they are accounted for as 
separate items (major components) of property, plant 
and equipment.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, 
plant and equipment are determined by comparing the 
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of 
property, plant and equipment and are recognised within 
“other income” or “other expenses” in profit or loss. When 
revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the 
revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying 
amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that future economic benefits 
associated with the item will flow to the Group and the 
cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying 
amount of any component accounted for as a separate 
asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs 
and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the 
reporting period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-
line or diminishing value basis over the estimated useful 
lives of each part of an item of property, plant and 
equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the 
shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is 
reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership 
by the end of the lease term.

The depreciation rates which reflect the estimated useful 
lives for the current period are as follows:

 3 Plant and equipment 
 3 Motor vehicles 
 3 Computer equipment 
 3 Leasehold improvements 

7.50 - 50.00%

12.50 - 30.00%

37.50 - 50.00%

7.50 - 15.00% 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values 
are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if 
appropriate.

The cost of improvements to, or in, leasehold properties 
is amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the 
estimated useful life of the improvements to the Group, 
whichever is shorter.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

GOODWILL

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in 
intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised but it is 
tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might 

be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated 
impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an 
entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to 
the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the 
purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made 
to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-
generating units that are expected to benefit from the 
business combination in which the goodwill arose. The 
units or groups of units are identified at the lowest level 
at which goodwill is monitored for internal management 
purposes, consistent with managements assessment of 
operating segments (note 3).

SOFTWARE

Costs associated with maintaining software programmes 
are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development 
costs that are directly attributable to the design and 
testing of identifiable and unique software products 
controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible 
assets where the following criteria are met:

 3 it is technically feasible to complete the software so 

that it will be available for use

 3 management intends to complete the software and 

use or sell it

 3 there is an ability to use or sell the software
 3 it can be demonstrated how the software will generate 

probable future economic benefits

 3 adequate technical, financial and other resources 
to complete the development and to use or sell the 
software are available, and

 3 the expenditure attributable to the software during its 

development can be reliably measured.

Capitalised development costs are recorded as intangible 
assets and amortised from the point at which the asset 
is ready for use. Amortisation is calculated using the 
diminishing value method over the estimated useful lives 
of the respective assets, generally two to five years.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Separately acquired intellectual property is shown 
at historical cost. Intellectual property acquired in a 
business combination is recognised at fair value at 
the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and 
are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation 
is calculated using the straight line method over the 
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 
eight to ten years.

CUSTOMER CONTRACTS 

The customer relationships were acquired as part of a 
business combination (see note 23 for details). They are 
recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition 
and are subsequently amortised on a straight-line based 
on the timing of projected cash flows of the relationships 
over their estimated useful lives. Amortisation is 
calculated using the straight line method over the 
estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally 

three to seven years. We test customer relationship 
assets for impairment on an annual basis, or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate 
that it might be impaired, and we write its value down 
when impaired.

The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any 
impairment on an annual basis. For the 2020 and 2019 
reporting periods, the recoverable amount of the cash-
generating units (CGUs) was determined based on value-
in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions.

EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS

MASTERMYNE MINING

The exclusive distribution rights were acquired as part 
of a business combination (see note 23 for details). They 
are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition 
and are subsequently amortised on a straight-line based 
over the life of the underlying agreement, currently 
eighteen years.

IMPAIRMENT TESTING

Goodwill and 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 assets are tested 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. The recoverable amount is the higher of an 
asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In 
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows 
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax 
discount rate that reflects current market assessments 
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the 
asset. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets 
are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are 
separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely 
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial 
assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment 
are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at 
the end of each reporting period.

No impairment was identified at 30 June 2020 or 30 June 
2019.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: KEY ASSUMPTIONS USED IN 
VALUE-IN-USE	CALCULATIONS

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is 
allocated to the Group’s operating divisions which 
represent the lowest level within the Group at which the 
goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. 
The aggregate carrying amount of goodwill allocated to 
each CGU is as follows:

The Mastermyne Mining calculations use cash flow 
projections based on financial budgets approved by 
management for 2021, with cash flows beyond the 2021 
financial year extrapolated using an average growth rate 
of 3.3% (2019: 3.8%) to cover a five-year period. Cash 
flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using 
a terminal growth rate of 2.5% (2019: 2.5%).

A 12.87% before-tax discount rate was applied to cash 
flow projections (2019: 14.6%). The discount rate was 
estimated based the Group’s weighted average cost of 
capital, an industry average beta, risk-free rate consistent 
with an Australian government 10-year treasury bond 
with a minimum yield used of 3.0%, a market risk 
premium of 6% and a calculated cost of debt based on 
the Group’s current debt and interest rates payable on 
this debt.

IMPACT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN KEY ASSUMPTIONS

No reasonable change in any of the key assumptions 
would result in an impairment.

WILSON MINING 

The Wilson Mining calculations use cash flow projections 
based on financial budgets approved by management 
for 2021, with cash flows beyond the 2021 financial year 
extrapolated using an average growth rate of 4.0% to 
cover a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year 
period are extrapolated using a terminal growth rate of 
2.5%.

A 13.96% before-tax discount rate was applied to cash 
flow projections. The discount rate was estimated based 
the Group’s weighted average cost of capital, an industry 
average beta, risk-free rate consistent with an Australian 
government 10-year treasury bond with a minimum 
yield used of 3.00%, a market risk premium of 6% and a 
calculated cost of debt based on the Group’s current debt 
and interest rates payable on this debt.

IMPACT OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN KEY ASSUMPTIONS

If the discount rate were to increase by 5% to 18.96%, 
the carrying value of the goodwill in relation to Wilson 
Mining Services would exceed its recoverable amount by 
$706,000.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES

Trade payables and other payables are unsecured and are 
usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Payables also include liabilities for contractual claims 
when the Group has a present legal obligation as a result 
of past events, it is probable that an outflow will be 
required to settle the obligation and the amount has been 
reliably estimated. In these circumstances the liability is 
measured at the present value of management’s best 
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present 
obligation at the end of the reporting period.

WAGES AND SALARIES

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary 
benefits, to be settled wholly within 12 months of 
the reporting date are recognised in sundry creditors 
and accruals 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 
including on-costs, such as superannuation, workers 
compensation insurance and payroll tax.

BONUS PLANS

We recognise a liability for employee benefits in the form 
of bonus plans in sundry creditors and accruals when we 
have a present legal or constructive obligation to make 
such payments as a result of past events and a reliable 
estimate of the obligation can be made. We measure 
liabilities for bonus plans at the amounts expected to be 
paid when they are settled; settlement occurs within 12 
months.

TERMINATION BENEFITS

Termination benefits are payable when employment is 
terminated by the Group before the normal retirement 
date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy 
in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises 
termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: 
(a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of 
those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs 
for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets 
and involves the payment of terminations benefits. In the 
case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, 
the termination benefits are measured based on the 
number of employees expected to accept the offer. 
Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of 
the reporting period are discounted to present value.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

ANNUAL LEAVE AND VESTED SICK LEAVE

Liabilities for annual leave and sick leave expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the 
period in which the employees render the related service 
are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to 
the end of the reporting period and are measured at 
the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are 
settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee 
benefit obligations in the consolidated balance sheet.

LONG SERVICE LEAVE

The Group has liabilities for long service leave that are 
not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after 
the end of the period in which the employees render the 
related service. These obligations are therefore measured 
as the present value of expected future payments to be

made in respect of services provided by employees up 
to the end of the reporting period 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 at the 
end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate 
bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely 
as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. 
Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments 
and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in 
profit or loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the 
balance sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional 
right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after 
the reporting period, regardless of when the actual 
settlement is expected to occur.

16. LEASES

(II)	AMOUNTS	RECOGNISED	IN	THE	STATEMENT	OF	
PROFIT OR LOSS

This note provides information for leases where the 
Group is a lessee. The Group does not have any leases 
where it is a lessor.

As explained in Note 1, the Group has changed its 
accounting policy for leases where the Group is the 
lessee. The new policy is described in Note 16 and the 
impact of the change in Note 2.

Until 30 June 2019, leases of property, plant and 
equipment where the Group, as lessee, had substantially 
all the risks and rewards of ownership were classified 
as finance leases. Finance leases were capitalised at the 
lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property 
or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease 
payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of 
finance charges, were included in other short-term and 
long-term payables. Each lease payment was allocated 
between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost 
was charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as 
to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability for each period. The 
property, plant and equipment acquired under finance 
leases was 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 Group will obtain 
ownership at the end of the lease term.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and 
rewards of ownership were not transferred to the Group 
as lessee were classified as operating leases (note 21). 
Payments made under operating leases (net of any 
incentives received from the lessor) were charged to 
profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of 
the lease.

In the previous year, the Group only recognised lease 
assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases that were 
classified as ‘finance leases’ under AASB 117 Leases. The 
Group did not hold any ‘finance leases’ in the previous 
year.

Additions to the right-of-use assets during the 2020 
financial year were $16,632,000.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Group leases various offices, warehouses, equipment 
and vehicles. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed 
periods of 3 months to 5 years, but may have extension 
options as described below.

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease 
components. The Group allocates the consideration in the 
contract to the lease and non-lease components based 
on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of 
real estate for which the Group is a lessee, it has elected 
not to separate lease and non-lease components and 
instead accounts for these as a single lease component.

Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and 
contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. 
The lease agreements do not impose any covenants other 
than the security interests in the leased assets that are 
held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as 
security for borrowing purposes.

Until the 2019 financial year, leases of property, plant 
and equipment were classified as either finance leases or 
operating leases. From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised 
as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the 
date at which the leased asset is available for use by the 
Group.

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a 
corresponding liability at the date at which the leased 
asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease 
payment is allocated between the liability and finance 
cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the 
lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of 
interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each 
period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the 
shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a 
straight-line basis.

16. LEASES (CONTINUED)

EXTENSION AND TERMINATION OPTIONS

18. EARNINGS PER SHARE

ACCOUNTING POLICY

ACCOUNTING POLICY (CONTINUED)

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially 
measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities 
include the net present value of the following lease 
payments:

 3 fixed payments (including in-substance fixed 

payments), less any lease incentives receivable

 3 variable lease payment that are based on an index or a 
rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 
commencement date

 3 amounts expected to be payable by the Group under 

residual value guarantees

 3 the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is 

reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

 3 payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the 
lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain 
extension options are also included in the measurement 
of the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest 
rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily 
determined, which is generally the case for leases in the 
Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, 
being the rate that the individual lessee would have to 
pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of 
similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic 
environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in 
variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which 
are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. 
When adjustments to lease payments based on an index 
or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and 
adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and 
finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss 
over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability 
for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the 
following:

 3 the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
 3 any lease payments made at or before the 

commencement date less any lease incentives received

 3 any initial direct costs, and
 3 restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the 
shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on 
a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain 
to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset 
is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. 
While the Group revalues its land and buildings that are 
presented within property, plant and equipment, it has 
chosen not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by 
the Group.

Extension and termination options are included in a 
number of property and equipment leases across the 
Group. These are used to maximise operational flexibility 
in terms of managing the assets used in the Group’s 
operations. The majority of extension and termination 
options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by 
the respective lessor.

CRITICAL JUDGEMENT: DETERMINING THE LEASE 
TERM

In determining the lease term, management considers 
all facts and circumstances that create an economic 
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise 
a termination option. Extension options (or periods after 
termination options) are only included in the lease term 
if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not 
terminated).

The following factors are normally the most relevant:

 3 If there are significant penalties to terminate (or not 
extend), the Group is typically reasonably certain to 
extend (or not terminate).

 3 If any leasehold improvements are expected to have 
a significant remaining value, the Group is typically 
reasonably certain to extend (or not terminate).

 3 Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including 
historical lease durations and the costs and business 
disruption required to replace the leased asset.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: DETERMINING THE 
INCREMENTAL BORROWING RATE

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

financing costs associated with dilutive potential 
ordinary shares, and

 3 the weighted average number of additional ordinary 
shares that would have been outstanding assuming 
the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The Company does not have authorised capital or par 
value in respect of issued shares. All issued shares 
are fully paid. Ordinary shares entitle the holder to 
participate in dividends, and to share in the proceeds of 
winding up the Company in proportion to the number 
and amounts paid on the shares held. Every holder of 
ordinary shares present at a meeting in person or by 
proxy, is entitled to one vote, and on a poll each share is 
entitled to one vote.

PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

Information relating to the Employee Performance Rights 
Plan, including details of rights issued, exercised and 
lapsed during the financial year and options outstanding 
at the end of the reporting period, is set out in Note 27.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so 
as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence 
and to sustain future development of the business. The 
Board of Directors monitors the return on capital, which 
the Group defines as net operating income divided 
by total capital. The Board also monitors the level of 
dividends to ordinary shareholders.

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital 
management during the year.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are 
subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

RESERVES

(I)	OTHER	EQUITY

The other equity reserve represents the shares to be 
issued to the vendors of Wilson Mining Services Pty Ltd 
as part of the consideration paid for the acquisition of the 
business. Further information can be found in Note 23.

(II)	SHARE-BASED	PAYMENTS	RESERVE

The share-based payments reserve represents the grant 
date fair value of equity instruments granted to senior 
managers or key management personnel of the Company 
(note 27).

(III)	COMMON	CONTROL	RESERVE

As a result of combinations of entities under common 
control, an equity account was created called the 
common control reserve. The balance of this account 
represents the excess of the fair value of Mastermyne 
Group Limited securities as at 7 May 2010 over the initial 
carrying value of Mastermyne Pty Ltd as at the date 
of Mastermyne Group Limited became the new parent 
entity of the Group.

NON-CANCELLABLE OPERATING LEASES

The Group leases various offices, warehouses, equipment 
and vehicles under non-cancellable operating leases 
expiring within 3 months to 5 years, with options to 
extend in some cases. The leases have varying terms, 
escalation clauses and renewal rights. On renewal, the 
terms of the leases are renegotiated.

From 1 July 2019, the group has recognised right-of-use 
assets for these leases, except for short term and low-
value leases. All amounts related to short term and low-
value leases have been included in Note 16(b). The table 
below is included for comparative purposes only.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s business activities can expose us to a variety 
of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange 
risk, price risk, and cash flow and fair value interest rate 
risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Board, together 
with management, seeks to identify, monitor and mitigate 
risk. Internal controls are monitored on a continuous basis 
and, wherever possible, improved. Risk management is 
identified in the Group’s various corporate governance 
policies and will continue to be kept under regular 
review. Review takes place at both the Audit and Risk 
Management Committee level, with meetings at least four 
times a year, and at the Board level.

All of the Group’s financial assets except cash and cash 
equivalents are within the loans and receivables category, 
and our financial liabilities are all within the financial 
liabilities recorded at amortised cost category.

(A) MARKET RISK

(I)	FOREIGN	EXCHANGE	RISK

Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial 
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are 
denominated in a currency other than the Australian 
dollar. From time to time we make purchases from 
suppliers who require the currency of settlement to be a 
foreign currency. At 30 June 2020 and 2019 our exposure 
to foreign currency risk was immaterial.

(II)	PRICE	RISK

The Group is not exposed to equity securities or 
commodity price risks.

(III)	CASH	FLOW	AND	FAIR	VALUE	INTEREST	RATE	RISK

The Group is not exposed to cash flow and fair value 
interest rate risk.

(B) CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a 
customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails 
to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally 
from the Group’s receivables from customers and cash 
and cash equivalents.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced by the 
individual characteristics of each customer. The majority 
of the Group’s customers are large multinational mining 
companies with strong payment track records and 
credit history. There is no formal credit policy in place, 
however, each customer is assessed individually for 
creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment 
and delivery terms and conditions (30 days) are offered. 
Collateral is not normally obtained. The Group operates 
under signed contracts, purchase orders and forward 
purchase agreements which all have agreed payment 
terms included.

The aged receivables are reviewed on a weekly basis by 
senior management and overdue amounts followed up 
with customers for payment. The Group does not require 
collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.

The Group has two (2019: two) significant customers 
each representing more than 10% of the carrying amount 
of trade receivables at 30 June 2020. The total of the 
receivables from these customers is $24,609,000 (2019: 
$22,172,000). The breakdown of each customer is as 
follows:

Customer 1
Customer 2

20,267
4,342
24,609

$’000
14,247
7,925
22,172

In the current and comparative period, the Group’s cash 
and cash equivalents are held with AA-Rated Australian 
Banks.

TRADE RECEIVABLES AND UNBILLED REVENUE

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to 
measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and 
unbilled revenue.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables 
and unbilled revenue have been grouped based on shared 
credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The 
unbilled revenue represents the Company’s unconditional 
right to consideration arising from the transfer of goods 
and services to the customer (i.e. only the passage of 
time is required before payment of the consideration is 
due), and has substantially the same risk characteristics 
as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. 
The Group has therefore concluded that the expected 
loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable 
approximation of the loss rates for the unbilled revenue.

61

MASTERMYNE ANNUAL REPORT 2020 
 
 
 
22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

TRADE	RECEIVABLES	AND	UNBILLED	REVENUE	(CONTINUED)

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before 30 June 2020 or 
1 July 2019 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss 
rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of 
the customers to settle the receivables.

On that basis, no loss allowance has been recognised as at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019.

(C) LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an 
adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed 
credit lines available. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will maintain 
sufficient liquidity levels to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring 
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

23. BUSINESS COMBINATION

SUMMARY OF ACQUISITION

On 30 August 2019, Mastermyne Group Limited acquired 
100% of the ordinary shares of Wilsons Mining Services 
Pty Ltd (‘WM’) for total consideration of $11,453,000. 
WM have 25 years’ experience supporting the Australian 
underground coal industry and are renowned for 
the supply and installation of cavity fill and strata 
consolidation phenolic foams, polyurethane chemicals 
and ventilation control devices. WM are the Australian 
and New Zealand exclusive distributor of Weber Mining 
products including the industry leading Rocsil, Fenoflex 
and Marithan range. The additional niche, highly valued 
underground services further enhances Mastermyne’s 
suite of services.

Details of the purchase consideration, the net assets 
acquired and goodwill are as follows:

3,799

3,799

3,855

11,453

The number of shares to be issued as part of the 
consideration paid for Wilson Mining (3,857,655) was 
determined under the terms of the sale agreement, 
based on a 90 day volume weighted average price prior 
to the completion date. While unissued, the shares retain 
their dividend rights and any dividends paid will be 
settled as additional shares to the vendors calculated on 
a 5 day volume weighted average price prior to record 
date.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: CONTINGENT 
CONSIDERATION

The contingent consideration arrangement requires 
the Group to pay the former owners of WM 50% of the 
EBITDA of WM for three years from 2020 to 2022, up to 
a maximum undiscounted amount of $10,000,000 plus 
25% of the EBITDA for the three years from 2020 to 
2022 in excess of $20,000,000 with no maximum amount 
payable. There is no minimum amount payable.

The fair value of the contingent consideration 
arrangement of $3,855,000 was estimated calculating 
the present value of the future expected cash flows. 
The estimates are based on a discount rate of 4% and 
assumed probability-adjusted annual EBITDA in WM of nil 
to $5,040,000. The discount rate has been calculated with 
regard to the projection and credit risks associated with 
the liability.

The assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the 
acquisition are as follows:

Trade and other receivables
Inventories
Other current assets
Current tax asset
Plant and equipment
Customer relationships
Exclusive distribution rights
Deferred tax asset
Trade payables and other payable
Provision for employee benefits

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the above 
business combination have been accounted for on a 
provisional basis at year-end.

The goodwill is attributable to WM’s strong position 
and profitability in the chemical injection and strata 
consolidation markets and the synergies expected to 
complement our existing integrated underground mining 
solutions offering. None of the goodwill is expected to be 
deductible for tax purposes.

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATE: VALUATION OF ACQUIRED 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The fair value of the customer relationships and 
exclusive distribution rights of $591,000 and $991,000 
respectively, were estimated calculating the present value 
of the future expected cash flows.

For customer relationships, cash flows were estimated 
based on the historical sales data with 4 long-term 
customer and projected over a 5.5 year period which is 
consistent with WM’s historic average customer age. An 
11.9% post-tax discount rate was applied to cash flow 
projections. The discount rate was estimated based the 
Group’s weighted average cost of capital, an industry 
average beta, risk-free rate consistent with an Australian 
government 10-year treasury bond with a minimum 
yield used of 4.5%, a market risk premium of 6% and a 
calculated cost of debt based on the Group’s current debt 
and interest rates payable on this debt.

For exclusive distribution rights, cash flows were 
estimated using the ‘Relief from Royalty’ method over the 
life of the underlying exclusive distribution agreement. 
A royalty rate of 3.8% was applied consistent with 
median royalty rates observed in the mining industry. An 
11.9% post-tax discount rate was applied to cash flow 
projections. The discount rate was estimated based the 
Group’s weighted average cost of capital, an industry 
average beta, risk-free rate consistent with an Australian 
government 10-year treasury bond with a minimum 
yield used of 4.5%, a market risk premium of 6% and a 
calculated cost of debt based on the Group’s current debt 
and interest rates payable on this debt.

ACQUIRED RECEIVABLES

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a 
financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability 
are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes 
in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of the trade and other receivables is 
$2,045,000 and includes trade receivables with a fair 
value of $1,965,000 all of which are expected to be 
collected.

REVENUE AND PROFIT CONTRIBUTION

The acquired business contributed revenues of 
$14,343,000 and a net loss of $287,000 to the Group for 
the period from 1 September 2019 to 30 June 2020. If 
the acquisition had occurred on 1 July 2019, consolidated 
revenue and consolidated profit after tax for the year 
ended 30 June 2020 would have been $295,161,000 and 
$10,604,000 respectively. Since acquisition, numerous 
processes have been undertaken to ensure WM adds 
value to the Group. Significant overhead restructuring, 
integration of systems and leverage of major project 
opportunities with current clients and potential clients 
have been completed during the year.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account 
for all business combinations, regardless of whether 
equity instruments or other assets are acquired. 
Consideration for an acquisition comprises the fair value 
of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the 
equity interests issued by the company. Consideration 
also includes the fair value of any contingent 
consideration arrangement and the fair value of any pre-
existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent 
liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with 
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values 
at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any 
non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an 
acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at 
the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the 
acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

r
o
F

The excess of the consideration transferred and the 
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree 
over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired 
is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the 
fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary 
acquired and the measurement of all amounts has been 
reviewed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or 
loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration 
is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are 
discounted to their present value as at the date 
of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s 
incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a 
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent 
financier under comparable terms and conditions.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND EQUITY 
ACCOUNTING

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) 
over which the Group has control. The Group controls 
an entity where the Group 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 deconsolidated from 
the date that control ceases.

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

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of 
subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated 
statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive 
income, statement of changes in equity and balance  
sheet respectively.

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND DIRECTOR 
TRANSACTIONS

A number of key management persons, or their related 
parties, hold positions in other entities that result in them 
having control or significant influence over the financial or 
operating policies of those entities.

A number of these entities transacted with the Group 
in the reporting period. The terms and conditions of the 
transactions with key management persons and their 
related parties were no more favourable than those 
available, or which might reasonably be expected to be 
available, on similar transactions to non-key management 
persons and their related entities on an arm’s length 
basis.

The establishment of the Employee Performance Right Plan was approved by shareholders at the 2015 annual general 
meeting. The plan is designed to provide long-term incentives for senior managers and above (including executive 
Directors) to deliver long-term shareholder returns. Under the plan, participants are granted options which only vest 
if certain performance standards are met. Participation in the plan is at the board’s discretion and no individual has a 
contractual right to participate in the plan or to receive any guaranteed benefits. Rights or options are granted under 
the plan for no consideration and carry no dividend or voting right.

In accordance with the plan, employees holding vested options are entitled to purchase shares in the Company at a set 
exercise price based on volume weighted average price in the two months preceding the offer.

Set out below are summaries of rights granted under the plan:

Weighted average remaining contractual life of rights outstanding at end of period (years) 1.2.

Vesting of the rights will be subject to achievement of the vesting conditions set out below and the eligible participant 
being employed at the vesting date:

 3 Vesting Condition 1: The main vesting condition is that the eligible participant must be employed within the Group on 
the Test Date. If employment is ceased with the Group prior to the Test Date, the performance rights will lapse unless 
the Board, at its absolute discretion, determines otherwise.

 3 Vesting Condition 2: Vesting is also conditional on the continuation of good conduct and the execution of duties in 

the best interests of Mastermyne. If it is deemed the eligible participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, or is 
in breach of obligations to Mastermyne, the Board, at its absolute discretion, may determine that some or all of the 
performance rights will lapse.

 3 Vesting Condition 3: There is an overriding vesting condition requiring a minimum 8% total shareholder return (TSR) 

during the TSR measurement period (i.e. from the Time of Grant to the Test Date).

 3 Vesting Condition 4: If vesting condition 3 is achieved, there are two further vesting conditions that will each be 

applied independently to 50% of the performance rights. Both of these vesting conditions depend on Mastermyne’s 
TSR percentile rank during the TSR measurement period:

a.   Tranche A: 50% of the performance rights will be conditional on the Company’s TSR rank relative to companies in 

the ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation index.

b.   Tranche B: 50% of the performance rights will be conditional on the Company’s TSR rank relative to companies in 

the ASX 200 Resource Accumulation index.

for Tranche A and $0.71 per right for Tranche B (2019: $0.81 and $0.77 respectively). The fair value at grant date is 
independently determined using an adjusted form of the Black-Scholes Model which includes a Monte Carlo simulation 
model that takes into account the exercise price, volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield, the risk-
free interest for the term of the right and the correlations and volatilities of the peer group companies.

The grant-date fair value of share-based payment awards granted to employees is recognised as a “personnel expense”, 
with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the 
awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service 
and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. for share-based payment awards with non-vesting 
conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no 
true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

29. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE 
REPORTING PERIOD

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and 
while its impact has been limited for the consolidated 
entity up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate 
the potential impact, positive or negative, after the 
reporting date. The situation is rapidly developing and 
is dependent on measures imposed by the Australian 
Government and other countries, such as maintaining 
social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel 
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may  
be provided.

Apart from the dividend declared as disclosed in Note 
19, no matter or circumstance has occurred subsequent 
to period end that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the 
results of those operations or the state of affairs of the 
Group or economic entity in subsequent financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF 
MASTERMYNE GROUP LIMITED 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Mastermyne Group Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled 
entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 
2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated 
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
and notes to the financial 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: 

a)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of 

its financial performance for the year then ended; and 

b)  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 and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (including Independence Standards) “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code. 

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

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

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.

During the year the Group acquired Wilsons 
Mining Services Pty Ltd (“WMS”) for gross 
purchase consideration of $11.453 million. This 
was considered a significant purchase for the 
Group. 

Accounting for this transaction is a complex 
and judgemental exercise, requiring 
management to determine the fair value of 
acquired assets and liabilities, in particular the 
valuation of deferred consideration and the 
allocation of purchase consideration to goodwill 
and separately identifiable intangible assets 
such as customer relationships and exclusive 
distribution rights. 

It is due to the size of the acquisition and the 
estimation process involved in accounting for it 
that this is a key area of audit focus. 

The consolidated statement of financial position 
as at 30 June 2020 includes goodwill of 
$10.291 million which relates to the 
consolidation of subsidiaries acquired in the 
current and previous years. 

The carrying amount of goodwill is supported 
by the value-in-use calculations prepared by 
management which are based on budgeted 
future cash flows and key estimates such as 
growth and discount rates. 

Goodwill is deemed to be a key audit matter 
due to the use of key estimates and 
judgements in the value-in-use calculation. 

Our procedures included amongst others: 
•  We read the sale and purchase 

agreement to understand key terms and 
conditions; 

•  We evaluated the assumptions and 

methodology in management’s valuation 
models, such as forecast revenues, 
operating costs and contributory assets, 
used to determine the value of WMS 
customer relationships and exclusive 
distribution rights to the Group; 

•  We used our Corporate Finance 

valuation specialists to compare these 
valuation assumptions with external 
benchmarks (for example discount rates) 
and to consider the assumptions based 
on our knowledge of the Group and its 
industries; 

•  We considered the Group’s 

determination of the final fair value 
adjustments at 30 June 2020 and 
compared them to the provisionally 
reported values at 31 December 2019. 
We performed testing on certain fair 
value adjustments to confirm that they 
related to new information obtained 
about facts and circumstances that 
existed on acquisition date, therefore 
were eligible for recognition; and 

•  We assessed the adequacy of the 
Group’s disclosures in respect of 
business acquisitions. 

Our procedures included amongst others: 

•  Assessing management’s determination of 

the Group’s CGU’s based on our 
understanding of the nature of the Group’s 
business and internal reporting in order to 
assess how results were monitored and 
reported; 

•  Assessing the reasonableness of key 

estimates and judgements, considering 
supporting management prepared 
documentation or historical performance, 
where available; 

•  Comparing the prior year forecast to 

assess the accuracy of the forecasting 
process; 

•  Reviewing management’s value-in-use 

calculations for accuracy; and 
•  Performing a sensitivity analysis of 

management’s value-in-use calculation. 

The 30 June 2020 financial year was the first 
year of adoption for Australian Accounting 
Standard AASB 16 Leases. The Group has 
entered into a significant volume of leases by 
number and value, over properties, motor 
vehicles and equipment as a lessee. 

Our procedures included amongst others: 

•  Understanding and evaluating the controls 
in place to recognise the lease liabilities 
and right-of-use assets on the statement of 
financial position; 

•  Considering whether the Group’s new 

The Group has recognised $14.462 million of 
new right-of-use assets on the statement of 
financial position and the corresponding lease 
liability of $14.042 million. Due to the change in 
the accounting standard, and the calculations 
and assumptions required to determine the 
individual lease values, such as the incremental 
borrowing rate and likelihood of options being 
exercised, we have considered this to be a key 
audit matter. 

At 30 June 2020, the Group’s consolidated 
statement of financial position included 
deferred tax assets of $7.912 million of which 
$6.829 million related to unused tax losses. 
The recognition of deferred tax assets is 
dependent upon an assessment that it is 
probable the Group will generate sufficient 
future taxable income to utilise them. 

The unused tax losses were recognised as part 
of business combinations and are to be utilised 
based on available fractions. It is due to the 
significant judgement and assumptions 
involved in assessing the Group’s ability to 
generate future taxable income that we focused 
on this area as a key audit matter. 

accounting policies as set out in Note 1, 
satisfied the requirements of AASB 16 
including the initial adoption of any practical 
expedients selected by the Group as part 
of the transition process; 

•  Assessing the integrity of the Group’s 

AASB 16 lease calculation model used, 
including the accuracy of the underlying 
calculation formulas; 

•  For a sample of leases, agreeing the 
Group’s inputs in the AASB 16 lease 
calculation model in relation to those 
leases such as, key dates, fixed and 
variable rent payments, renewal options 
and incentives, to the relevant terms of the 
underlying signed lease agreements; 

•  Evaluating the assumptions used in 

calculating the lease liabilities and right-of- 
use assets; and 

•  Assessing the adequacy of the financial 
report disclosures contained in note 16. 

Our procedures included amongst others: 
•  Obtaining and testing the Group’s 

calculation of its current and deferred tax 
balances for the year ended 30 June 2020; 

•  Challenging and evaluating the 

reasonableness of key judgements and 
assumptions used in the Group’s forecast 
of taxable income including assessing their 
consistency with the Board-approved 
budget for the year ending 30 June 2021 
and cash flow assumptions; 

•  Assessing the historical accuracy of the 
Group’s budgeting and forecasting and 
considered implications for our assessment 
of key assumptions used in the Group’s 
current forecast of taxable income 

•  Assessing the availability of tax losses to 

the Group under the current Australian tax 
legislation including those acquired as part 
of business combinations; and 
•  Engaging our taxation experts in the 

completion of these procedures and in 
making our assessments of the available 
fraction calculations and application of the 
available fraction method.

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 2020, 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 Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a 
true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 
and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the 
financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to 
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the 
going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to 
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional 
judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain 
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or 
the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing 
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of 

accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial 
report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are 
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of 

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 
disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and 
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 
or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain 
solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of 
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we 
identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical 
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other 
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions 
taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most 
significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit 
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public 
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter 
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would 
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
