PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Group is a secondary producer of 
nutraceutical, seafood products and premium 
marine ingredients.  Harnessing the country’s 
reputation for pure, pristine waters and 
fisheries provenance, the Group utilises raw 
ingredients sourced from New Zealand’s finest 
deep-sea fishing companies, employing a nose-
to-tail philosophy to create a range of high 
value products.

The Group’s mission is to share the sought-
after flavours of sustainably sourced, nutritious, 
healthy and organic goodness of New Zealand’s 

seafood with Asian and other consumers 
worldwide, through expanding distributor, 
wholesale and consumer channels.

The Group’s growth strategy is focused on the 
development of a new nutraceutical product 
range to complement  increasing production 
and sales of its flagship, collagen-rich, dried ling 
maw range and its developing high-value ready-
to-eat FMCG products for export into new and 
existing markets.

recommend the payment of a dividend in 
respect of the current financial period ended 30 
June 2020 (2019: Nil).

tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 amounted 
to $6,805,020 (2019: $188,397).  Excluding 
non-cash expenses recorded for the reverse 
acquisition of NZCS Operations Ltd (refer Note

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
New Zealand Coastal Seafoods 
successfully lists on the ASX
On 5 August 2019, NZCS announced that it 
had successfully listed on the ASX following 
a capital raise of $5 million.  Since listing on 
the ASX, the Company has been successful in 
executing its growth strategy of:

• Increasing sales of existing products through 
expanded production capacity and increased 
ability to access raw seafood supply. 

• Improving profit margins by extending the  
range of products to include nutraceuticals 
and wellness products and ready-to-eat 
products. 

• Expanding sales capacity by enlarging NZCS’ 

sales force and expanding distribution 
channels, in existing markets, such as New 
Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong and 
entering or further penetrating, as relevant, 
markets such as China, Malaysia, Singapore, 
Indonesia and Vietnam.

NZCS Expands into Nutraceuticals

Acquisition of Kiwi Dreams 
International Limited 
NZCS completed the acquisition (“Acquisition”) 
of Kiwi Dreams International Limited (“KDI”), 
a New Zealand based developer of innovative 
nutraceutical products and services, including 
ingredient supply, quality and validation, as well 
as formulation and development. 

The Acquisition of KDI has provided the 
Company with immediate access to the lucrative 
value added nutraceutical and pharmaceutical 
ingredient sector, with NZCS developing 
potential high value products including; Mussel 
Powder and Oils, Marine Based Collagens (Ling 
Maw and Fish Skin), Underia (seaweed) powder, 
Oyster Powder, Nootropic products and other 
cognitive enhancers.

Through the Company’s prior development 
of nutraceutical products, NZCS recognised 
significant opportunities in this high growth 
market, with the global nutraceutical market 
estimated at US $230.9 billion in 20181.

The Acquisition aligns with the Company’s 
strategy to expand revenues streams, by adding 
greater depth to the existing product line.

High Value Purchase Agreements

Strategic Supply Agreement for 
European Distribution
Following the Acquisition, NZCS entered a 
strategic one year Supply Agreement with 
German Company, Dr. Behr (“Dr. Behr”) for the 
sale of green lip mussel powders and oils, with 
the opportunity to further expand revenues as 
the Company develops additional products. 

Under the Dr. Behr Supply Agreement, Dr. 
Behr will initially sell NZCS’s green lip mussel 
powders and oils in Europe, with minimum 
order quantity revenues solely from mussel 
products (excluding the UK) of NZ$432,000 
(approximately A$400,000) for Year 1, with 
parties able to agree to further terms, which are 
expected to be on similar pricing terms, with 
expected increased indicative product quantities 
to be negotiated.  

The Supply Agreement with Dr. Behr aligns 
with NZCS’s growth strategy of entering new 
markets and improving profit margins by 
extending its range of products.

NZ$4.4m Purchase Agreement for 100 
Tonnes of Ling Maw
The Company entered a NZ$4.4m 
(approximately AU$4.29m) purchase agreement 
with SuperMilkBaba (NZ) Limited (“SMB”), for 
the sale of a minimum of 100 tonnes of frozen 
Ling Maw over a 12 month period. 

During the lockdown period, the first 1000kg 
order for SMB was successfully dispatched 

and processed, with NZCS continuing to fulfil 
further orders for SMB and other customers 
during the lockdown period. The purchase 
agreement with SMB aligns with NZCS’s 
growth strategy of entering new markets 
including China.

NZ$400,000 Purchase Agreement 
with Good Health 
In May 2020, the Company entered a 
NZ$400,000 (approx. AU$377,000) purchase 
agreement with Good Health Product 
Limited (“Good Health”), for the sale of a 
minimum of 4,000 kilograms of Nutraceutical 
Oyster Powder over a 12 month period, with 
opportunities to expand order quantities to 
up to 10,000 kilograms over the same period.  
The purchase agreement with Good Health 
aligns with NZCS’s growth strategy of entering 
new markets and improving profit margins by 
extending the range of products.

Further Sales and International Expansion

Astaxanthin Oil 
NZCS received purchase orders for NZ$120,000 
of Astaxanthin Oil from an existing KDI 
customer, New Zealand Health Manufacturing, 
and a new US based customer, Elevate Health 
Sciences, with these purchase orders aligning 
with NZCS’s growth strategy of expanding sales 
capacity and expanding distribution channels, in 
existing and new markets.

International Export Licenses
As NZCS further expanded into international 
markets, US Food and Drug Administration 

Image by OpenSeas via openseas.org.nz

Listing Approval to export products to the 
United States was received in May 2020. 
NZCS also received European Union Listing 
Approval, allowing the Company to export 
marine product to Europe. These international 
export licenses facilitate NZCS’s entry into new 
markets, thereby adding geographical diversity 
to its customer base and reducing reliance on 
one particular market.  Export licenses also 
align with the Company’s strategy of expanding 
distribution channels by entering new markets.

Astaxanthin Sales to Japan 
NZCS shipped an initial Astaxanthin trial order 
to a leading nutraceutical manufacturer in Japan 
in July 2020, as the Company seeks to enter 
this market. The trial order of Astaxanthin 
to Japan aligns with the Company’s growth 
strategy of expanding sales by entering new 
markets and by extending NZCS’s range of 
products to also include nutraceuticals.

Significant Trial Order to Hong Kong 
A new Hong Kong based customer placed 
a significant trial order for NZ$148,000 of 
Ling Maw in July 2020. The Company has 
utilised trial orders to build relationships 
with key customers globally, whilst providing 
the opportunity for NZCS’s customers to 
receive feedback from end consumers before 
proceeding to higher value orders. 

The significant trial order to Hong Kong 
aligns with the Company’s growth strategy 
of expanding sales by entering new markets.

Processing and Production Facility

Completed Upgraded and 
Expanded Production Facility 
On 3 March 2020, NZCS announced that it had 
moved to the new upgraded and expanded 
seafood processing and production facility in 
Christchurch, five times larger than the existing 
facility, and strategically located in close 
proximity to the Christchurch airport, and the 
import/export air freight market, providing 
logistical advantages for export into Asia. 

The expanded and upgraded production facility 
aligns with the Company’s growth strategy of 
increasing sales of existing products through 
expanded production capacity, and improving 
profit margins by extending the range of 
products to include ready-to-eat products.

RMP Approval for Upgraded and Expanded 
Production and Processing Facility 
NZCS announced that the Risk Management 
Programme (“RMP”) for the Company’s new 
upgraded and expanded processing and 
production facility, had received approval from 
the New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industries 
(“MPI”), a requirement under the Animal 
Products Act to process and manufacture 
animal products in New Zealand.

Nutraceutical Powder Milling Machine
NZCS received delivery of a new milling 
machine used to produce nutraceutical 
products, including the Company’s recently 
developed powdered collagen nutraceutical ling

NZCS continued to fulfil further orders for 
SMB and other customers during the 
lockdown period.

to eat product range consisting of Cooked Ling 
Maw, Cooked Paua (Abalone) and a powdered 
Collagen Ling Maw nutraceutical product, with 
these products being sold direct to consumers 
in NZCS retail packaging. 

Distribution Agreement with Reach China 
NZCS entered an agreement with Reach China 
for the distribution of the Company’s ready to 
eat and nutraceutical product range in Australia, 
Hong Kong and China. Under the Reach China 
Distribution Agreement, Reach China has the

ling maw, cooked ling maw, paua (abalone) 
and collagen nutraceutical product, with the 
agreement including scope for expansion.

an export order from BuyNatural for its NZCS 
branded ready to eat product range, including 
100 units of Dried Ling Maw, 50 units of 
Cooked Abalone, and 50 units of Cooked Ling 
Maw in Sauce. The order from BuyNatural aligns 
with NZCS’s growth strategy of improving 
profit margins by extending NZCS’s range of 
products to include ready-to-eat products 
including pre-packaged soups.

E-Commerce Portal and Online Sales

on the Company’s website, selling the NZCS

and Vietnam.

Andrew Peti appointed as CEO
Mr Peti was appointed as Chief Operating Officer 
in September 2019, before being appointed 
Interim CEO on 3 March 2020.  During his

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN 
STATE OF AFFAIRS

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the 
Group during the financial year are as set out in 
the Review of Operations.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 
GLOBAL PANDEMIC

As a primary food producer, under COVID-19 
restrictions, NZCS was deemed an ‘Essential 
Service’ by the New Zealand Government, with 
operations continuing during the lockdown 
period.  Although NZCS’s supply chain and 
ability to fulfil customer orders remained 
unaffected, it should be noted that global 
uncertainty and market conditions impacted 
upon demand for NZCS’s products during 
the reporting period.

In response to COVID-19, NZCS implemented a 
strategic response plan to ensure continuity in 
product delivery and sales, including drying, pre-
processing and packing sufficient stock to 
maintain staff safety, whilst allowing for ease 
of dispatch to customers during the temporary 
COVID-19 disruptions.

The situation is rapidly developing and is 
dependent on measures imposed by the 
New Zealand Government and by other 
countries, such as maintaining social distancing 
requirements, quarantine procedures, travel 
restrictions and any economic stimulus that may 

be provided, and accordingly it is not practicable 
to estimate the potential impact, positive or 
negative, after the reporting date.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT 
TO THE END OF THE 
FINANCIAL YEAR

The material events subsequent to the financial 
year, are;

1. 

the appointment of Andrew Peti as CEO of 
the Company; and

2.  entered a strategic one year Supply 
Agreement with German Company, 
Dr. Behr;

both of which are detailed above.

Other than as noted above, no matter or 
circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2020 that 
has significantly affected, or may significantly 
affect the Group’s operations, the results of 
those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs 
in future financial years.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND 
EXPECTED RESULTS 
OF OPERATIONS

The Company has no plans to alter its 
business model.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF 
OF THE GROUP

No person has applied to the Court under 
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for 
leave to bring proceedings on behalf of the 
Group, or to intervene in any proceedings to 
which the Group is a party for the purpose of 
taking responsibility on behalf of the Group for 
all or part of those proceedings.

ENVIRONMENTAL 
REGULATION

The Group is not subject to any significant 
environmental regulation under Australian or 
New Zealand Laws.

INDEMNIFICATION OF 
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

(a) Indemnification
The Group has agreed to indemnify the current 
Directors and Group Secretary of the Group 
against all liabilities to another person (other 
than the Group or a related body corporate) 
that may arise from their position as Directors 
and Group Secretary of the Group, except 
where the liability arises out of conduct 
involving a lack of good faith.

The Agreement stipulates that the Group will 
meet to the maximum extent permitted by law, 
the full amount of any such liabilities, including 
costs and expenses.

(b) Insurance Premiums
During the year ended 30 June 2020, the 
Company paid insurance premiums in respect 
of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance 
for Directors and Officers of the Company. 
The liabilities insured are for damages and 
legal costs that may be incurred in defending 
civil or criminal proceedings that may be 
brought against the Directors and Officers 
in their capacity as Directors and Officers of 
the Company to the extent permitted by the 
Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance 
prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability 
and the amount of the premium.  

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The Board of Directors, in accordance with 
advice from the Audit Committee, is satisfied 
that the provision of non-audit services 
during the year is compatible with the general 
standard of independence for Auditors 
imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.  

The Board and the Audit and Risk Committee 
have considered the non-audit services 
provided during the financial year by the 
Auditor and are satisfied that the provision of 
those non-audit services during the financial 
year by the Auditor is compatible with, and did 
not compromise, the Auditor’s independence 
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for 
the followings reasons:

(a) all non-audit services were subject to the 
Corporate Governance procedures adopted by 
the Group; and 

(b) the non-audit services provided do not 
undermine the general principles relating to 
Auditor independence as set out in APES 110 
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants 
including Independence Standards, as they did 
not involve reviewing or auditing the Auditor’s 
own work, acting in a management or decision-
making capacity for the Group, acting as an 
advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks 
and rewards.

New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited (Company) or (Entity) is a public Company limited by shares, incorporated 
in Australia with operations in New Zealand. The Consolidated Financial Report of the Company as at and for 
the  year  ended  30  June  2020  comprises  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  (together  referred  to  as  the 
‘Consolidated Entity’ or ‘Group’).   

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Consolidated Entity are described in the Directors’ 
Report. 

(b)

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general-purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian 
Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  issued  by  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and  the 
Corporations Act 2001. The Group is a for profit entity for the purpose of preparing the Financial Statements. 

(i)

Compliance with IFRS

The Financial Statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and 
interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). 

The Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28th August 2019. 

(ii)

Historical cost convention

The  financial  report  has  been  prepared  on  an  accrual  basis  and  is  based  on  historical  costs  modified  by  the 
revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis 
of accounting has been applied. 

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. 

(iii)

Comparatives

When  required  by  Accounting  Standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  adjusted  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year.  The acquisition of NZCS Operations Ltd during the period has been 
accounted  for  using  the  principles  of  AASB  2  Share-based  Payment  for  reverse  acquisitions  and  as  such  the 
comparative figures reflect the previous financial position of NZCS Operations Ltd.  Refer to Note 2 for further 
details. 

These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity 
of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of 
business.  

For the year ended 30 June 2020, the Group incurred an operating cash outflow of $2,998,887 (2019: $80,926). 
The total comprehensive loss for year ended 30 June 2020 was $6,858,932 (2019: $188,397).   

The World Health Organisation declared a global health emergency relating to the spread of COVID-19 on 31 
January 2020. The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and while it has not had a material 
financial impact on the Group 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 and New Zealand Governments as well as other countries in which the Group’s products are 
traded,  such as maintaining social distancing  requirements,  quarantine, travel restrictions and  any  economic 
stimulus that may be provided. 

The foregoing conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over 
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.  

The  Group’s  forecasts  and  projections  for  the  next  twelve  months  take  into  account  the  current  status, 
operational changes and projected future trading performance which incorporates the successful execution of 
the growth strategy outlined in the Group’s market announcements during the year.  

The Group’s forecasts and projections are based on a limited trading history and include material revenue items 
relating to new products and markets. In the directors’ opinion the inclusion of these material revenue items is 
based on events that they reasonably expect to take place and actions that they reasonably expect to occur. 

The forecasts and projections indicate that, in the directors’ opinion, the Group will be able to operate as a going 
concern. 

For the reasons outlined above, the timing and trading volumes and related operating cash flows may vary from 
those forecasted by management. Should the timing of operating cash flows be significantly different to those 
forecasted, the Group may need to seek alternative financing to enable it to settle its labilities as they fall due.  

The  Directors  have  historically  been  successful  in  obtaining  financing  through  equity  raises  and  are  actively 
managing the expenditure of the Group to ensure that cash is maintained whilst executing the growth strategy 
and are confident that should the need arise, further funding can be raised through either debt or equity.  

There are no assurances that the forecasted trading performance will be achieved or that additional funding will 
be obtained and that the Group will succeed in its future operations. If the Group cannot successfully implement 
its  growth  plan  or  raise  additional  capital,  its  liquidity,  financial  condition  and  business  prospects  will  be 
materially and adversely affected such that the Group may not be able to continue as a going concern 

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realise its assets and discharge 
its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial 
statements.  The  financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  and 
classification of assets carrying amount or the amount of liabilities that might result should the Group be unable 
to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.

(d)

Impact of the adoption of new Accounting Standards

(e)

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted

The Group has adopted AASB16 Leases as of 1 July 2019 and there were no retrospective adjustments to prior 
periods as there were no leases in existence as at that date. 

The financial effect of the adoption of AASB16 on the current period Statement of Profit and Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income is as follows: 

Increase in depreciation expense 

Increase in finance costs 

Reduction in operating (rental) expenses 

Net increase (decrease) in profit 

Right-of-use assets 

          CONSOLIDATED 

30 June 2020 

($) 

    (109,607) 

      (39,157) 

    94,360 

     (54,404) 

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

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

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

Lease Liabilities 

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at 
the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest 
rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.  

Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that 
depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a 
purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination 
penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in 
which they are incurred. 

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

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet 
mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2020. The 
Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most 
relevant to the Group, are set out below. 

Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework) 

The revised Conceptual Framework is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2020  and  early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  Conceptual  Framework  contains  new  definition  and  recognition 
criteria as well as new guidance on measurement that affects several Accounting Standards. Where the Group 
has relied on the existing framework in determining its accounting policies for transactions, events or conditions 
that are not otherwise dealt with under the Australian Accounting Standards, the Group may need to review 
such policies under the revised framework. At this time, the application of the Conceptual Framework is not 
expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial statements. 

(f)

Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

The  preparation  of  the  Financial  Statements  requires  Management  to  make  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Financial Statements. Management continually evaluates 
its  judgments  and  estimates  in  relation  to  assets,  liabilities,  contingent  liabilities,  revenue  and  expenses.  
Management bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and on other various factors it believes 
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and 
liabilities  that  are  not  readily  apparent  from  other  sources.  Actual  results  may  differ  from  these  estimates. 
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future 
periods affected. 

Information  about  significant  areas  of  estimation  uncertainty  and  critical  judgments  in  applying  accounting 
policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the Financial Statements are outlined 
below: 

(i)

Share based payments

The Group measures the cost of equity settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of 
equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes 
option pricing model, inputs used in valuing share-based payments, including options, are estimates. 

(ii) Depreciation methods and useful life of Property, Plant and Equipment

The  depreciation  method  used,  and  the  useful  life  of  the  Group’s  Property,  Plant  and  Equipment  inherently 
results in the amount of depreciation of such assets being an estimate.   Refer to Note 1(r) for disclosure of the 
depreciation methods employed and the useful lives of the assets. 

(iii) Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

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

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(iv) Revenue with contracts with customers involving sale of goods

Subsidiaries 

When recognising revenue in relation to the sale of goods to customers, the key performance obligation of the 
Group is considered to be the point of delivery of the goods to the customer, as this is deemed to be the time 
that the customer obtains control of the promised goods and therefore the benefits of unimpeded access.  

(v)

Provision for impairment of inventories

The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The 
level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories 
and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence. 

(vi) Goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets

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

(vii) Lease Term

The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. 
Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease 
or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, 
when  ascertaining the periods to  be  included in  the lease  term. In determining the lease term, all  facts and 
circumstances  that  create  an  economical  incentive  to  exercise  an  extension  option,  or  not  to  exercise  a 
termination  option,  are  considered  at  the  lease  commencement  date.  Factors  considered  may  include  the 
importance of the asset to the Group's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market 
rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and 
disruption to replace the asset. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension 
option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances. 

(viii) 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. 

(g)

Principles of Consolidation

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

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

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

(h)

Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity 
instruments or other assets are acquired. 

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

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

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

(i)

Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually 
for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and 
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are taken to profit or loss 
and are not subsequently reversed. 

(j)

Foreign Currency translation

Functional and presentation currency 

Items included in the Financial Statements of each of the Group entities are measured using the currency of the 
primary  economic  environment  in  which  the  Entity  operates  (‘the  functional  currency’).  The  Consolidated 
Financial Statements are presented in Australian dollars (A$), which is the Group’s functional and presentation 
currency.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The functional currency of the subsidiaries of the parent entity that are incorporated in New Zealand is the New 
Zealand Dollar (NZD$). 

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the profit or loss over the period necessary 
to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.  

Foreign currency transactions and balances 

(m)

Income Tax Expenses or Benefit

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates 
ruling  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. 

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the 
exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign 
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 

Translation of Foreign Operations 

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rate at 
the reporting date.  

The Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is translated at the average exchange rates 
for the year. 

The exchange differences arising on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity. On 
disposal  of  the  foreign  entity,  the  deferred  cumulative  amount  recognised  in  equity  relating  to  that  foreign 
operation will be recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

The income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax.  Income tax is recognised in the profit 
or  loss,  except to  the extent  that  it  relates  to  items  recognised  directly in  equity or  in  other comprehensive 
income.  

Current  tax  is  the  expected  tax  payable  on  the  taxable  income  for  the  year,  using  tax  rates  enacted  or 
substantially enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.  

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation 
purposes.  The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities 
that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the 
extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.  The amount of deferred tax provided is 
based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using 
tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.  

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available 
against which the asset can be utilised.  Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable 
that the related tax benefit will be realised.  

(k)

Revenue recognition

(n)

Cash and cash equivalents

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the consolidated entity is expected 
to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, 
the consolidated entity: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the 
contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the 
time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the 
relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when 
or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods 
or services promised. 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer accepts liability and obtains 
control of the goods, which is dependent on the specific contractual terms of sale with the customer. 

(l)

Other income

Interest Income 

Interest  income  is  recognised  using  the  effective  interest  method.  The  effective  interest  method  uses  the 
effective  interest  rate  which  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  the  estimated  future  cash  receipts  over  the 
expected life of the financial asset.   

Government Grants 

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the 
grant will be received, and the group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants relating to 
the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred income and 
are credited to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets. 

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits  held  at  call  with  financial  institutions,  other  short-term,  highly  liquid  investments  with  original 
maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject 
to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in 
the Statement of Financial Position.  

(o)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.  Net realisable value is the estimate of the 
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 

Cost comprises all the costs of purchases, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories 
to their present location and condition. 

(p)

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement 
within 30 days. Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. The Group applies the AASB 
9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all 
trade receivables. Customers with heightened credit risk are provided for specifically based on historical default 
rates  and  forward-looking  information.  Trade  receivables  are  written  off  when  there  is  no  reasonable 
expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, 
the  failure  of  a  debtor  to  engage  in  a  repayment  plan  with  the  Group.  Other  receivables  are  recognised  at 
amortised cost, less any provision for impairment.

(q)

Financial Assets

Classification 

All the  Group’s financial  assets  are classified  in  the category  of “Trade and  other receivables”.  Management 
determines  the classification of financial  assets at  initial  recognition. The Group does  not  currently  hold  any 
other financial assets. 

Measurement 

Loans  and  receivables  are  non‑derivative  financial  assets  with  fixed  or  determinable  payments  that  are  not 
quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 
12 months after the reporting period which are classified as non‑current assets.  

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment. The fair value of trade receivables and payables is 
their nominal value less estimated credit adjustments.  

(r)

Property, Plant and Equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method to write off the cost of the assets to their residual values 
over their estimated useful life. 

The annual rates used for this purpose, which are consistent with those used in previous years, are as follows: 

Improvements to premises 

Plant and equipment 

Furniture and fittings 

10% 

10-40% 

50% 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, 
only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and 
the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs 
and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the 
financial year in which they are incurred. 

The  asset’s  residual  values  and  useful  lives  are  reviewed,  and  adjusted  if  appropriate,  at  each  statement  of 
financial position date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the 
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included 
in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in other reserves are transferred 
to retained earnings. 

(s)

Trade and Other Payables

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received prior to the end of 
the  period,  whether  or  not  billed  to  the  Group  before  reporting  date.  Trade  accounts  payable  are  normally 
settled within 60 days.  

Financial liabilities are initially measured at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using 
the effective interest rate method. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged 
or cancelled. 

(t)

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received net of issue costs incurred. In subsequent periods, 
borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Any difference between proceeds (net 
of  issue  costs)  and  the  redemption  value  is  recognised  in  the  Statement  of  Profit  or  Loss  and  Other 
Comprehensive Income over the period of the borrowings using the effective yield method. 

(u)

Employee Benefits

Short term Employee Benefit Obligations 

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-monetary  benefits  and  accumulating  annual  leave  that  are 
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’ service up to the end of the reporting period and are 
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. All other short-term employee 
benefit obligations are presented as payables. 

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 recognised 
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 recognised costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 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. 

(v)

Share-based payments

Share-based  payments  which  have  been  granted  to  employees  comprise  of  shares,  share  rights  and  share 
options. 

Shares 

The value of shares granted and issued to key management personnel in a year is recognised as an employee 
benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share capital). The value of shares granted and vested 
to key management personnel in one year, which will be issued in a future year are recognised as an employee 
benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share capital reserve). Upon issuing of the shares, the 
value in the share capital reserve will be transferred to share capital. 

The value of shares granted and in the process of vesting to key management personnel are recognised as an 
employee  benefit  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  (share  based  payments  reserve).  Upon 
vesting and subsequent issue of the shares, the value in the share-based payments reserve will be transferred 
to share capital.

In  the  year  in  which  the  share  rights  become  vested,  the  value  of  share  rights  which  have  vested  will  be 
recognised in share capital reserve. 

(x)

Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new  shares  or  options  are  shown  as  a  deduction  from  the  equity 
proceeds,  net  of  any  income  tax  benefit.  Costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new  shares  or  options 
associated with the acquisition of a business are included as part of the purchase consideration. 

Upon issue of the related shares, the value in the share capital reserve is transferred to share capital. 

(y)

Earnings or Loss per share

The basis for the value recognised for each share right is the price at the time when the terms of the grant are 
agreed between the Group and the counter party. 

Basic earnings or loss per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to members of the 
Parent Entity for the reporting period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Group. 

Share options 

(z)

Fair Value

The  fair  value  of  options  granted  to  employees  (including  Key  Management  Personnel)  is  recognised  as  an 
employee benefit expense with a  corresponding increase in  equity (share-based  payments reserve). The fair 
value  is  measured  at  grant  date  and  recognised  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees  become 
unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option 
pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the vesting and performance 
criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradable nature of the option, the share price at grant date and expected 
price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term 
of the option. 

The fair value of the options granted excludes the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, 
profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the 
number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  become  exercisable.  At  each  reporting  date,  the  Entity  revises  its 
estimate of the number of options that are expected to  become exercisable.  The employee benefit  expense 
recognised in each period takes into account the most recent estimate. 

This estimate also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the 
expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. 

(w) Share-based Payment Transactions for the acquisition of goods and services

Share-based payment arrangements in which the Group receives goods or services as consideration for its own 
equity instruments are accounted for as equity-settled share-based payment transactions. The Group measures 
the value of equity instruments granted at the fair value of the goods and services received, unless that fair value 
cannot be measured reliably. 

If the fair value of the goods or services received cannot be reliably measured, the transaction is measured by 
the by reference to the fair value of the instruments granted. 

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing 
models  based  on  estimated  future  cash  flow.  There  are  currently  no  assets  and  liabilities  which  require  fair 
valuing under the measurement hierarchy. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts of the current 
receivables and current payables are assumed to approximate their fair value. 

(aa) 

Goods and Services Tax 

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where 
the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority.  In these circumstances, the GST is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.  

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.  The net amount of GST recoverable from, 
or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial 
position.  

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis.  The GST components of cash flows 
arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation 
Office are classified as operating cash flows.  

(bb) 

Current and non-current classification 

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

An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in 
the Group's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised 
within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being 
exchanged or  used  to  settle  a  liability for at  least 12  months after the reporting  period. All other assets  are 
classified as non-current. 

A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle; 
it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; 
or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting 
period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Impairment of non-financial assets

2.

REVERSE ACQUISITION

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are 
tested  annually for impairment,  or  more frequently if  events or  changes in  circumstances  indicate that  they 
might  be  impaired.  Other  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for 
the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-
use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate 
specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent 
cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 

On 25 July 2019, the Group acquired 100% of the issued capital of NZCS Operations Ltd.  The acquisition has 
been accounted for using the principles for reverse acquisitions in AASB 3 Business Combinations because, as a 
result  of  the  acquisition,  the  former  shareholders  of  NZCS  Operations  Ltd  (the  legal  subsidiary)  obtained 
accounting  control  of  New  Zealand  Coastal  Seafoods  Ltd  (formerly  XTV  Networks  Ltd)  (the  legal  parent). 
However,  the  transaction  did  not  meet  the  definition  of  a  business  combination  under  AASB  3  Business 
Combinations as the accounting acquiree, New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Ltd (formerly XTV Networks Ltd) was 
deemed  not  to  be  a  business  for  accounting  purposes.  Instead,  the  acquisition  has  been  accounted  for  as  a 
share-based payment transaction using the principles in AASB 2 Share-based Payment. 

Accordingly, the 30 June 2020 consolidated financial statements of New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Ltd (formerly 
XTV Networks Ltd) have been prepared as a continuation of the financial statements of NZCS Operations Limited. 
The comparative figures also present a continuation of NZCS Operations Ltd and will therefore not reconcile to 
the previous New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Ltd (formerly XTV Networks Ltd) financial statements for the year 
ended 30 June 2019. 

NZCS Operations Ltd is deemed to make a share-based payment to acquire the existing shareholders' interest in 
the net assets of New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Pty Limited (formerly XTV Networks Ltd). The value of the NZCS 
Operations  Ltd  shares  cannot  be  reliably  determined  as  no  active  market  exists  at  the  time  of  acquisition. 
Therefore, the value of the NZCS Operations Ltd shares deemed to be issued, has been determined by reference 
to the fair value of the New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited (formerly XTV Networks Ltd) assets acquired. 

As the shares of New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited (formerly XTV Networks Ltd) were not being traded at 
the time of the acquisition (the shares were suspended pending the outcome of the transaction) there was no 
active market for those shares. Accordingly, the fair value of the shares was determined as $0.025 per share, 
this being the price at which the New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited (formerly XTV Networks Ltd) shares had 
been issued pursuant to the Prospectus, which was the last transaction for the New Zealand Coastal Seafoods 
Limited (formerly XTV Networks Ltd) shares immediately prior to the acquisition. 

Listing  expense  is  calculated  as  the  difference  between  the  fair  value  of  consideration  transferred  less  the 
identified fair value of the net assets of the legal parent, being New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited (formerly 
XTV Networks Ltd). Details of the transaction are as follows:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

i. Overview

The financial  risks arising  from the Group’s operations comprise market,  liquidity  and credit  risk.  These risks 
arise in the normal course of business, and the Group manages its exposure to them in accordance with the 
Group’s portfolio risk management strategy. 

The objective of the strategy is to support the delivery of the Group’s financial targets while protecting its future 
financial security and flexibility by taking advantage of the natural diversification provided by the scale, diversity 
and flexibility of the Group’s operations and activities. 

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, their objectives, policies 
and processes for measuring risk and the management of capital. 

The  Group's  Risk  Management  Framework  is  supported  by  the  Board.  The  whole  Board  is  responsible  for 
approving  and  reviewing  the  Group's  Risk  Management  Strategy  and  Policy.  Management  is  responsible  for 
monitoring appropriate processes for identifying, monitoring and managing significant business risks faced by 
the Group and considering the effectiveness of its internal control system.  

The  Board  has  established  an  overall  Risk  Management  Policy  which  sets  out  the  Group’s  system  of  risk 
oversight, management of material business risks and internal control.

ii. Financial Risk Management Objectives

The overall financial Risk Management Strategy focuses on the unpredictability of the finance markets and seeks 
to minimise the potential adverse effects on financial performance and protect future financial security. 

iv.Liquidity Risk

iii. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of the financial loss to the Group if counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations and the risk arises principally from the Group's cash and cash equivalents, deposits with 
banks and financial institutions, and receivables.   

Cash at bank is placed with reliable financial institutions. For banks and financial institutions, the Group banks 
only with financial institution with high quality standing or rating.  

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime 
expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have 
been grouped based on shared risk characteristics and the days past due. Trade receivables are written off when 
there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net 
impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited 
against the same line item.  

The  carrying  amount  of  the  Group’s  financial  assets  represents  the  maximum  credit  exposure.  The  Group’s 
maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was: 

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the Group and the Group’s subsequent ability to meet their 
obligations to repay their financial liabilities as and when they fall due. 

Ultimate  responsibility  for  Liquidity  Risk  Management  rests  with  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  Board  has 
determined an appropriate Liquidity Risk Management Framework for the management of the Group’s short, 
medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by 
maintaining adequate reserves and continuously monitoring budgeted and actual cash flows and matching the 
maturity profiles of financial assets, expenditure commitments and liabilities. 

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months 
equal their carrying amounts as the impact of the discounting is not significant.

v. Market Risk

Market risk  is the risk  that  changes in  market prices,  such as foreign exchange rates  may  affect  the Group’s 
income or  the value  of its holdings  of financial  instruments.  The objective of Market Risk  Management is to 
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising return. 

vi. Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on financial assets or liabilities that are denominated in a currency other 
than the respective functional currencies of the Group's, the Australian Dollar (AUD) for Parent Entity and the 
New Zealand Dollar (NZD) for the subsidiaries of Consolidated Entity. 

The Parent Entity which has a functional currency of Australian Dollars has no exposure to foreign exchange risk 
as  there  are  no  financial  assets  or  liabilities  denominated  in  a  foreign  currency  (30  June  2019:  nil).  The 
subsidiaries of the of the Parent Entity, which have a functional currency of the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) have 
no  exposure  to  foreign  exchange  risk  as  there  are  no  financial  assets  or  liabilities  denominated  in  a  foreign 
currency (30 June 2019: nil). 

vii. Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rates primarily relates to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents. 

Whilst  the Group has interest-bearing cash  balances  of $1,841,712,  its income and  operating cash  flows  are 
substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group has no interest-bearing liabilities and 
as such does not actively manage exposure to interest rate risk.

Up to the end of the reporting period, the Group did not have any hedging policy with respect to interest rate 
risk as exposure to such risk was not deemed to be significant by the directors since these assets are of a short- 
term nature. Management considers the potential impact on profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift that is 
reasonably probable at the end of the reporting period to be immaterial. 

¹ These borrowings were a loan from New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited to NZCS Operations Limited prior 
to the acquisition transaction that was effected on 26 July 2019.

Management considers the potential impact on profit or loss of a reasonably possible change in interest rates 
at the end of the reporting period to be immaterial based on the current amounts of cash and cash equivalents 
and applicable interest rates.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

When managing capital, the Board’s objective is to ensure the Group continues as a going concern as well as to 
maintain optimal returns to Shareholders and benefits for other Stakeholders. The Board also aims to maintain 
a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital available to the Group. 

The Board is constantly adjusting the capital structure to take advantage of favourable costs of capital or high 
return on assets. As the market is constantly changing Management may issue new shares, sell assets to reduce 
debt. 

The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of 
borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position although there is no formal 
policy regarding gearing levels whilst this position has not changed.

MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

On  the  13  July  2020  Mr  Andrew  Peti  was  appointed  as  CEO  of  NZCS  Operations  Limited  following  his 
appointment as interim CEO on 3 March 2020 and previous role as Chief Operating Officer. 

In addition to the above, the World Health Organisation announced that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) had be-
come a pandemic on 11 March 2020. The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing and whilst 
it has had no financial impact for the Group up to 30 June 2020, it is not practicable to estimate the potential 
impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date.  At the date of this report, it is uncertain what the effect 
will be on the group and potentially it will have a post balance date impact. 

Other than the above, no matters or circumstances have arisen since 30 June 2020 that has significantly affected, 
or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs 
in future financial years.

We have audited the financial report of New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited (the Company) and its

Basis for Opinion 

Winton Willesee 
Non-Executive Chairman 
Perth, Western Australia 
28th August 2020 

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

Emphasis of Matter - Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1 (c) in the financial report which indicates that Group incurred a net loss of 
$6,858,932 and an operating cash outflow of $2,998,887 during the year ended 30 June 2020. These 
conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1 (c), indicate the existence of a material 
uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, 
and whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and 
at amounts stated in the financial report. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty 
Regarding Going Concern Section, we have determined the matters described below to be key audit 
matters to be communicated in our report. 

Key Audit Matter 

How we addressed the Key Audit Matter 

Accounting for the reverse acquisition– Refer to Note 2 

To facilitate a listing on the ASX, New Zealand 
Coastal Seafoods Limited (NZCS) (renamed 
NZCS Operations Ltd) undertook a transaction 
with xTV Networks Limited (XTV) on 26 July 
2019. The transaction resulted in XTV, as the 
listed entity being acquired via a reverse 
acquisition by NZCS. The continuing entity was 
renamed New Zealand Coastal Seafoods 
Limited. 

To obtain an understanding of the transaction, 
we read the sale and purchase agreement 
between the entities involved and the ASX re-
compliance prospectus. We assessed and 
challenged managements conclusions against 
the requirements of the relevant accounting 
standards, including interpretation guidance and 
authoritative support, these conclusions 
included: 

The accounting for the reverse acquisition of 
XTV is a key audit matter due to the accounting 
complexity of the transaction and the level of 
audit effort involved. 

Management judgement was required to 
determine that XTV did not meet the definition of 
a ‘business’ and could not be accounted for as a 
business combination. Since shares and options 
in XTV were transferred to NZCS shareholders 
in consideration for the XTV listing, 
management concluded that the transaction 
was more appropriately accounted for as a 
share-based payment listing expense. 

Additionally, management applied judgement to 
conclude that the basis of preparation of the 
financial statements, including comparative 
information, should be analogised to that of a 
‘reverse acquisition’. The financial statements 
were therefore prepared as if the business of 
NZCS continued post transaction. 

•

•

•

the use of reverse acquisition accounting as
the basis of preparation of the financial
statements;

the determination that the transaction was a
share-based payment listing expense; and

the treatment of the specific costs incurred
as part of the reverse listing transaction as
share-based payments.

Comparative information disclosed in the 
financial statements is that of the continuing 
business of the accounting acquirer, NZCS, we: 

•

•

agreed comparative information to
previously audited schedules of NZCS; and

considered the principals applied in
disclosing the changes in equity from the
share-based payment transactions and the
resulting net equity of the NZCS business.

Based on the procedures performed above, 
there are no matters to report. 

Key Audit Matter 

How we addressed the Key Audit Matter 

Adoption of AASB 16 Leases – Refer to Note 1(d) Note 13 and Note 16 

The Group adopted a new accounting standard 
AASB  16 ‘Leases’ effective 1 January 2019.  

In assessing the appropriateness of 
managements estimate of the lease liability and 
related right-of-use asset recognised, we: 

During the year, the Group entered into a 
material new lease, the lease liability of which 
needs to be discounted using an appropriate 
rate, the determination of which requires a high 
level of management judgement. 

•

•

•

obtained an understanding and evaluated
the Group’s implementation process,
including the review of the updated
accounting policies and policy elections in
accordance with AASB 16;

evaluated management’s assumptions,
specifically the assumptions used to
determine the discount rate used to
calculate the material lease obligation; and

tested the factual inputs and calculation of
the right-of-use asset and lease liability
calculated for the material lease contract.

Based on the procedures performed above, 
there are no matters to report. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and the Audit’s Report Thereon 

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

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 have 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.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

• 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 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.

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 the 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, related 
safeguards. 

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 the 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 the auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so 
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 
We have audited the remuneration report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 
2020.  

In our opinion, the remuneration report of New Zealand Coastal Seafoods Limited, for the year ended 
30 June 2020, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  
The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration 
report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on the remuneration report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian 
Auditing Standards.
