Operating Results

Net operating profit for the Group after providing for income tax amounted to $1,550,000 (2017: $312,000).

The Group's revenue from continuing operations for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 was $25,898,000 (2017: $26,721,000) which was a decrease of
3% over prior year. Revenue within the scaffold division grew 9% for the year driven by a new growth strategy and assisted by the buoyant Australian
housing and construction industry which is expected to continue in the next twelve months. The consumer division's revenue declined by 33% having
ceased supply to the Mitre 10 warehouse system because of prohibitive trading terms as well as the result of the ongoing wind down of the sheds and
outdoor storage business.

Depreciation and amortisation expense for the year was $912,000 which was an increase of $109,000 (2017: $803,000) which reflects the increased cost
from investment in hire fleet to support the growth of the scaffold division.

The Group’s net profit after tax was $1,550,000 (2017: $312,000). This was an improvement of $1,238,000 which includes a $1,936,000 favourable
revaluation of the deferred senior loan note. The Group had a loss of $77,000 before income tax and revaluation of the financial derivative (2017: Profit
$914,000). The Group’s gross profit percentage increased from 43% in 2017 to 46% in 2018 reflecting the strategic change of investing in customer
relationships which support sustainable profitable growth. The Group substantially increased investment in it's sales and distribution systems during the
year to underpin the strategic change needed to initiate a strong growth plan.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,373,000 in 2018 compared to $2,144,000 in 2017. The reduction primarily due to the investment spend
in sales and distribution which is expected to provide greater benefits in the future. Strong operating cash flow continues to be a major focus for the
Group with increased emphasis on profitable revenue growth and the reduction of working capital in 2019.

(i) Consumer Products - Paint Applications and Outdoor Storage Solutions
Paint equipment sales experienced a decline compared to the prior year. Sales to large national chains with a DIY focus declined 79% primarily as a result
of a strategic reason to cease the supply to the Mitre 10 warehouse network because of prohibitive trading terms. Sales to specialist paint independents
and buying groups, which is the division's core customer base, grew 17% versus the prior year although was below expectations given the anticipated
impact of the Mitre 10 decision. The successful launch of the Pro-Series brush in October 2017 supported the specialist segment's growth and returns
Oldfield to it's heritage position of being master brush makers since 1916. The Group is committed to continue it's program of innovation and product
development to grow the sector which has largely become homogenised. During the year the business worked closely with suppliers resulting in lower
cost of sales. This together with the realigned customer base, has the division with much stronger gross margins which should enable the division to
achieve profitability when reaching critical sales mass. 

Outdoor storage sales were 86% lower than the prior year. Sales by Treco are now predominantly online and direct to the public as opposed to
previously via a distributorship network. Whilst gross margin percentages have improved, volumes are insufficient for the division's long term
sustainability. Treco will continue to operate as it sells down inventory. The division is not core to the overall business strategy. 

(ii) Scaffolding
The Group focused heavily on growth initiatives during the year and increased divisional revenues by 9% compared to 4% in the prior year. Whilst the
Australian building industry continues to be buoyant, the business has been developing revenue streams to counter the cyclical nature of the industry.
Performance has varied greatly between branches reflecting the complexity associated with large strategic change which has also brought the need of
growth minded branch management and operational improvements. Western Australia suffered the largest decline having also been impacted by the
contraction in mining rolling through into general building and maintenance. Branch specific initiatives have been developed to address their particular
situations. Oldfields continues to identify niche segments and to leverage relationships with national accounts by providing tailored customer solutions.
The division continues to invest in its hire fleet to support the growth strategy (2018: $934,000 compared to 2017: $543,000).

The financial performance of the manufacturing plant in China was weaker than the prior year having been impacted by the higher commodity cost of
aluminium. To increase the competitive offer in scaffold sales, the Group has recently commenced a program to increase the level of automated
production and inhouse value added processes. This has also significantly shortened lead times without the need to increase inventories as well as to
maintain our high quality standards. International sales of scaffold continue to grow although opportunities identified are taking longer to develop than
thought.

Financial Position

The net assets of the Group have increased by $1,232,000 from $4,106,000 at 30 June 2017 to $5,338,000 at 30 June 2018.

A key area of focus for the 2019 financial year will be to continue to trade profitably and further increase the net asset position of the Group.

necessary to return the segment to profitability. The strategies for Scaffold of driving revenue growth with a focus on leveraging national accounts via
our Australia wide offer and non cyclical sectors will continue in the 2019 financial year. There will also be an emphasis on getting all branches to
perform to their maximum potential.

The remuneration policy of the Group has been designed to align key management personnel (KMP) objectives with shareholder and business objectives
by providing a fixed remuneration component and offering incentives based on key performance areas affecting the consolidated entity's financial
results. The Board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in it's ability to attract and retain the high quality KMP to run and
manage the Group, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The Board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for KMP of the Group is as follows:

-

-

-
-

The remuneration policy is to be developed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board after professional advice is sought
from independent external consultants when required;
KMP receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation, fringe benefits, and
performance incentives;
Performance incentives are generally only paid once predetermined key performance indicators (KPIs) have been met; and
The Remuneration Committee reviews KMP packages annually by reference to the Group’s performance, executive performance and
comparable information from industry sectors.

The performance of KMP is measured against criteria with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the Group’s profits and
shareholders’ value. All bonuses and incentives must be linked to predetermined performance criteria. The Board may however exercise its discretion in
relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the Committee’s recommendations. Any change must be justified
by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract high calibre executives and reward them for performance results
leading to long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

KMP receive at a minimum, a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5% of the individual's earnings.
Individuals may however have chosen to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards their superannuation. 

Upon retirement, KMP are paid employee benefit entitlements accrued to the date of retirement. 

All remuneration paid to KMP is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed.

The Board's policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Remuneration Committee
determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on, market practice, duties and accountability.
Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to
approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Engagement of Remuneration Consultants

During the financial year there were no consultants engaged by the Remuneration Committee to review the elements of KMP remuneration and provide
recommendations. 

Performance-Based Remuneration
The KPIs are set annually with a certain level of consultation with KMP. The measures are specifically tailored to the area each individual is involved in
and has a level of control over. The KPIs target areas the Board believes hold greater potential for the Group's expansion and profit, covering financial
and non-financial as well as short and long-term goals. The level set for each KPI is based on budgeted figures for the Group and respective industry
standards.

Performance in relation to the KPIs is assessed annually with bonuses being awarded depending on the number and difficulty of the KPIs achieved.
Following the assessment, the KPIs are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee in light of the desired and actual outcomes, and their efficiency is
assessed in relation to the Group’s goals and shareholder wealth before the KPIs are set for the following year.

In determining whether or not a KPI has been achieved the Group bases the assessment on audited figures, however where the KPI involves comparison
of the Group or a division within the Group to the market, independent reports may be sought from organisations such as Standard & Poors.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements

1. General Information and Statement of Compliance

These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Oldfields Holdings Limited and Controlled Entities (the “Consolidated Group” or
“Group”). The separate financial statements of the Parent Entity, Oldfields Holdings Limited, have not been presented within this financial report as
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 31 August 2018 by the Directors of the Company.

2. Changes in Accounting Policies

2.1 New and Revised Standards that are Effective for these Financial Statements
The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its
operations and effective for the current financial reporting period. There has been no material impact of these changes on the Group's accounting
policies.

2.2 New and Revised Standards that are Effective for Future Periods
A number of new and revised standards became effective for the first time to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2018. Information on the more
significant standards is present below.

(i)

AASB 9: Financial Instruments and Associated Amending Standards

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard replaces all previous versions of
AASB 9 and completes the project to replace IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. AASB 9 introduces new
classification and measurement models for financials assets. This standard introduces additional new disclosures. An assessment has been
performed and the impact of the expected credit loss model will not be significant to the Group. 

The directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 9 will not significantly impact the Group’s financial statements. 

(ii)

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. This standard provides a single standard for
revenue recognition. AASB 15 establishes a principle-based approach which requires identification of performance obligations within a
transaction and an associated transaction price allocation to these obligations. Revenue is recognised only when the performance
obligation is satisfied and the control of goods or service is transferred. 

For goods, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods, typically at the point of sale. For
services, the performance obligation would be satisfied when the service has been provided, typically for promises to transfer services to
the customer. For performance obligations satisfied over time, an entity would select an appropriate measure of progress to determine
how much revenue should be recognised as the performance obligation is satisfied.  

In assessing the impact of this standard on the Group’s financial statements, the following revenue categories have been identified:

 -  Sale of goods
 -  Hire and erection of scaffold services

The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2018 and has performed an initial review of each category. Based on a preliminary
assessment performed, a difference in the current accounting treatment of hire and erection of scaffold services is anticipated as revenue
will be required to be recognised over time. The Directors therefore anticipate that the adoption of the standard will impact on the timing
of the recognition of revenue and the balance of deferred revenue recognised at year end. Based on the preliminary assessment performed
however it is not expected that the adoption of the new standard will have a significant impact on the revenue recognised in the Group’s
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2018 as disclosed in this financial
report. 

(iii)

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: Leases and related
Interpretations. AASB 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model that eliminates the requirement for leases to be classified as
operating or finance leases. The main changes introduced by the new Standard include:

-

-

-

-

recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 months of tenure and 
leases relating to low-value assets);
depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and unwinding of the liability 
in principal and interest components;
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability using the index 
or rate at the commencement date;
by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components and instead account for all 
components as a lease; and

- additional disclosure requirements.

15

Oldfields Holdings Limited
30 June 2018

2.2 New and Revised Standards that are Effective for Future Periods (continued)

(iii)

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019) (continued)

The transitional provisions of AASB 16 allow a lessee to either retrospectively apply the Standard to comparatives in line with AASB 108 or
recognise the cumulative effect of retrospective application as an adjustment to opening equity on the date of initial application.

Although the Directors anticipate that the adoption of AASB 16 will impact the Group's financial statements, at this time the variation has
not been determined. 

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future
reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3.1 Statement of Compliance
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the
Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements
also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). Material
accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless stated
otherwise.

3.2 Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial
assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial
instruments.

Where applicable, comparative figures are adjusted to conform to changes in classification and presentation for the current financial year.

3.3 Going Concern
As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, the Group reported a loss of $77,000 before income tax and revaluation of deferred senior loan
note derivative for the year ended 30 June 2018 (2017: profit of $914,000). The Directors believe that the Group will generate future profits and positive
operating cash flows and as such, the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the
preparation of the consolidated financial report.

3.4 Functional and Presentation Currency
The functional currency of each of the Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity
operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Parent Entity's functional currency.

3.5 Rounding 
The parent entity has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191 . 
Accordingly, amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated. 

3.6 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies management has made a number of judgements, applied estimates and assumptions of future
events. Judgements, estimates and assumptions which are material to the Group's financial report are found in the following notes:
 - Revenue and other income
 - Income taxes
 - Trade and other receivables
 - Inventories
 - Property, plant and equipment

 - Goodwill and other intangible assets
 - Provisions
 - Derivative financial instruments
 - Impairment of non-financial assets

3.7 Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of Oldfields Holdings Limited and all of the subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are entities the Parent controls. The Parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. 

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group from the date on which control is
obtained by the Group. The consolidation of a subsidiary is discontinued from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and
unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. Where necessary, accounting policies of
subsidiaries are changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting policies adopted by the Group.

Equity interests in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group are presented as ‘Non-Controlling Interests’. The Group initially
recognises non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests in subsidiaries and are entitled to a proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net
assets on liquidation at either fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets. Subsequent to initial
recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling
interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income. 

16

Oldfields Holdings Limited
30 June 2018

3.8 Business Combinations
Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses.

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

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement
is also included. Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is
accounted for within equity. 

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

The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. 

3.9 Foreign Currency
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency
monetary items are translated at the year end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange
rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were
determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash
flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in other comprehensive income to the extent that the
underlying gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss.
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group’s presentation currency are translated as
follows:
(i)    assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period;
(ii)   income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
(iii)  retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations with functional currencies other than Australian dollars are recognised in other
comprehensive income and included in the foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of financial position. The cumulative amount of these
differences is reclassified into profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed of.

3.10 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare
for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3.11 Leases
Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset (but not the legal ownership) are transferred
to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised by recognising an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the
present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the
lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognised as expenses in the periods in
which they are incurred.

Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.12 Financial Instruments

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

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or
loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. 

Classification and Subsequent Measurement
Financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest method, or cost. 

Amortised cost is calculated as the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less principal repayments
and any reduction for impairment, and adjusted for any cumulative amortisation of the difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount
calculated using the effective interest method.

17

Oldfields Holdings Limited
30 June 2018

3.12 Financial Instruments (continued)

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts
estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) over the expected life (or when this
cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying amount with a consequential recognition of an income or
expense item in profit or loss.

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting
standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

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

Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and
are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when
the financial asset is derecognised.

Financial liabilities
Non-derivative financial
recognised in profit or loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

liabilities other than financial guarantees are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are

Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets have been impaired. A financial asset
(or a group of financial assets) is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events (a
“loss event”) having occurred which has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).

In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing
significant financial difficulty; default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

When the terms of financial assets that would otherwise have been past due or impaired have been renegotiated, the Group recognises the impairment
for such financial assets by taking into account the original terms as if the terms have not been renegotiated so that the loss events that have occurred
are duly considered.

Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the
entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when
the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or
transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in
profit or loss.

3.13 Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO).  

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
ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from or
payable to the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

3.14 Comparative Figures
When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. 

Where the Group retrospectively applies an accounting policy, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in it's financial statements, an
additional (third) statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statement
is presented.

3.15 Other Accounting Policies
Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to the understanding of the financial statements
are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.

4. Segment Information

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM),
being the Board of Directors, in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. 

The Group is managed primarily on the basis of product category and service offerings as the diversification of the Group's operations inherently have
notably different risk profiles and performance assessment criteria.  Operating segments are therefore determined on the same basis.

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered to have similar economic
characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following:
 - The products sold and/or services provided by the segment;
 - The manufacturing process;
 - The type or class of customer for the products or service;
 - The distribution method; and
 - Any external regulatory requirements.

Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports
provided to the CODM. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the CODM with respect to operating segments, are determined in
accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

The primary operating segments during the current financial period were:
(i)

Consumer Products
The consumer products segment imports, manufactures and distributes paint brushes, paint rollers, painter's tools, garden sheds and
outdoor storage systems.

(ii)

Scaffolding
The scaffolding segment manufactures and distributes scaffolding and related equipment.
scaffold and access solutions to the building maintenance and construction industries.

In addition, this segment is engaged in hiring

All inter-segment transactions are eliminated on consolidation of the Group's financial statements.

Corporate charges are allocated to reporting segments based on the segment's overall proportion of revenue generation within the Group. The Board of
Directors believes this is representative of likely consumption of head office expenditure that should be used in assessing segment performance and cost
recoveries.

Adjusted segment EBITDA excludes discontinued operations and the effects of individually significant expenditure, such as restructuring costs, legal
expenses, and impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated non-recurring event. It also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-
based payments when applicable and unrealised gains or losses on financial instruments.

Interest revenue and finance cost are not allocated to segments as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury function which manages the cash
position of the Group.

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

Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings
and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables
and certain direct borrowings.

Inter-segment loans payable and receivable are initially recognised at the consideration received/to be received net of transaction costs. If intersegment
loans receivable and payable are not on commercial terms, these are not adjusted to fair value based on market interest rates.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and rebates payables.
When the inflow of consideration is deferred it is treated as the provision of financing and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in
the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.
Revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of
the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods.

Revenue from hire of equipment is recognised when the service is provided.

Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest method.

5.2 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Revenue Recognition

Hire and Erection Revenue
Revenue recognition relating to the provision of hire equipment services is determined with reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at
the end of the reporting period where outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably. Stage of completion is determined with reference to the
services performed to date as a percentage of total anticipated services to be performed. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is
recognised only to the extent that related expenditure is recoverable.

6. Expenses
Profit before income tax includes the following specific expenses by nature:

Inventory recognised as an expense during the year

Depreciation expense

Amortisation expense

Plant and equipment impairment

Employee benefits expense

Bad and doubtful debts provision

Rental expense on operating leases

Finance costs:
Related parties
Unrelated parties

The income tax expense 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’s 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.

The income tax expense or revenue 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.

7.1 Recognition and Measurement (continued)

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 liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign
operations where the company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not
reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when 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.

Tax Consolidation
Oldfields Holdings Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries 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.

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.

7.2 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Unrecognised Deferred Tax Benefits
The Group has unrecognised benefits relating to carried forward losses. The unused tax losses were incurred by the Australian tax consolidated group.
The losses are currently not recognised as it is not sufficiently probable that the Group will generate taxable income in the foreseeable future that will
allow the losses to be utilised.

Amounts are considered as ‘past due’ when the debt has not been settled with the terms and conditions agreed between the Group and the customer or
counter party to the transaction. Receivables that are past due are assessed for impairment by ascertaining solvency of the debtors and are provided for
where there are specific circumstances indicating that the debt may not be fully repaid to the Group. Trade receivables that were past due but not
impaired relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default.

Other Receivables
These amounts generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group. Collateral is not normally obtained. 

Credit Risk
The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to any single counter party or group of counter parties other than those receivables
specifically provided for and mentioned within note 9. The class of assets described as Trade and Other Receivables is considered to be the main source
of credit risk related to the Group.

9.2 Recognition and Measurement

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less
any provision for impairment. Trade and Other Receivables include amounts due from customers for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary
course of business. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days from month-end and therefore are all classified as current. 

A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that an individual trade or term receivable is impaired.  These amounts have 
been included within the administrative expenses item in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income.

9.3 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Provision for Impairment of Receivables
The provision for impairment of receivables assessment required a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into
account the recent sales experience, the ageing of the receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors financial
position.

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

10.2 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Provision for Impairment of Inventories
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into
account the recent sales experience, the ageing of the inventories, and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.

11.1 Recognition and Measurement

All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items.

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. Repairs and maintenance costs are recognised as expenses in profit or loss
during the financial period in which they are incurred.

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including capitalised lease assets, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the
Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The estimated useful lives in the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Hire equipment
Plant and equipment
Leasehold improvements
Motor vehicles

5-20 years
3-15 years
shorter of lease term or useful life
5 years

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

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

11.2 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Estimation of Useful Lives of Assets
The Group determined the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and definite
life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. 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. The depreciation
and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have
been abandoned or sold will be written off or down.

Hire equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life, taking into account its realisable value at the end of its life. Hire
equipment is constantly maintained and refurbished throughout its useful life resulting in the depreciation to be minimal on certain pieces of equipment.
The Group has assessed the useful life of hire equipment to be up to 20 years. All reconditioning costs of hire equipment are expensed as incurred and
are not taken into account in the carrying value of hire equipment.

Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units (CGUs). A CGU level summary of the goodwill allocation is presented below.

South and Western Australian scaffold branches

12.1 Recognition and Measurement

Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the sum of:
(i) the consideration transferred;
(ii) any non-controlling interest (determined under either the full goodwill or proportionate interest method); and
(iii) the acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest;
over the acquisition date fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired are measured on initial recognition at cost. Intangible assets other than goodwill have finite useful
amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense per the statement of profit or loss. 

lives. The current

Patents and trademarks are recognised at cost of acquisition. They have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any
impairment losses. Patents and trademarks are amortised over their useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years.

12.2 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Goodwill and Other Indefinite Life Intangible Assets

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

Trade and other payables represent the liabilities for goods and services received by the Group that remain unpaid at the end of the reporting period.
The balance is recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid between 7 and 60 days of recognition of the liability.

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

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Where there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date, the loans or borrowings are
classified as non-current.

Collateral Provided
The bank debt is secured by a fixed and floating charge over the Group's assets. The facility agreement currently expires in September 2019. Covenants
imposed by the bank includes interest cover ratios; capital expenditure limits; gearing ratios; and the Group cannot create or acquire a new subsidiary
unless that subsidiary becomes a party to the agreement. The Group complied with all its loan covenants during the year.

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

Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

Short-Term Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the Group’s obligation for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employee benefits are benefits (other than termination
benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the
related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid
when the obligation is settled.  

Other Long-Term Employee Benefits
Provision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of
the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of
the expected future payments to be made to employees.

Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at
rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the
terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit
or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.  

15.2 Key Estimate: Employee Entitlement Provisions - Long Service Leave
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all
employees at the reporting date.
In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases have been taken into
account.

16. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group measures and recognises the following assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis after initial recognition: 

-

Derivative financial instruments

The Group does not subsequently measure any liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Deferred Senior Loan Note (DSLN)
The derivative element of the Deferred Senior Loan Note (DSLN) of $746,000 (June 2017: $2,682,000) has been valued using Level 2 inputs which are
included in the terms and conditions of this instrument. The main terms of the DSLN are as follows:

-
-
-
-

-

-

-

The DSLN is secured against assets of the Group by the bank and has a 10 year maturity date of 21 December 2022;
Interest calculated at 12% p.a. was payable upon early repayment up to 21 December 2017;
From 21 December 2017 and up to the maturity date, the lower of interest at 12% p.a. or a redemption premium is payable;
The premium is equivalent to the difference between the Face Value of the DSLN and the market value. Market value is determined by the
volume weighted average share price (VWAP) 15 business days prior to the redemption or maturity date as applicable multiplied by
23,702,240 reference shares;
If the market value of the reference shares is calculated to be lower than the Face Value of the DSLN, the redemption premium is deemed
to be nil and the only repayment due will be the Face Value of the DSLN;
The bank is also entitled to receive a payment to the equivalent value of any dividend payment if made by the Group prior to the maturity
date of the DSLN;
Other normal conditions apply in respect to meeting gearing and interest cover ratios.

16.1 Fair Value Hierarchy
AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three
possible levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement categorised as follows:

Level 1
Measurements based on quoted prices 
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets 
or liabilities that the entity can access at the 
measurement date.

Level 2
Measurements based on inputs other than quoted 
prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3
Measurements based on unobservable 
inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation
techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable,
the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in
Level 3. 

The following tables provide the fair values of the Group’s assets and liabilities measured and recognised on a recurring basis after initial recognition and
their categorisation within the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers between levels for assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the reporting period (2017: no
transfers).

16.2 Valuation Techniques and Inputs Used to Measure Level 2 Fair Values

The core debt has been discounted by 12% to net present value over the expected term of the DSLN (i.e. 10 years) and is included in non-current
borrowings. The derivative element has been fair valued including considering the redemption premium payable under the DSLN. Should the Group
repay or partially repay the DSLN before the maturity date, the total amount payable could significantly differ from the respective carrying amounts such
that the final premium is only determinable by the VWAP 15 business days prior to the redemption or maturity date.

An external consultant independently assessed the valuation of the redemption premium of the DSLN as at 30 June 2018 and determined a fair value of
$746,000. The fair value was based on the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. The Directors have recognised the fair value of $746,000 as at 30 June 2018 which
resulted in a $1,936,000 gain on revaluation of DSLN derivative component recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income. As at 30 June 2017 the derivative element had been fair valued at the maximum amount of the Redemption Premium on the
Maturity Date under the DSLN i.e. accruing interest at 12% p.a. Prior to 21 December 2017 any repayment was subject to interest calculable at 12% p.a.
and not the VWAP. 

16.3 Recognition and Measurement

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured to their fair value at
each reporting date.

16.4 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Fair Value of Derivative Senior Loan Note

The DSLN has been identified as containing two main components: the core debt being the Face Value of the DSLN and a derivative element capturing
the Redemption Premium payment entitlement.

The Group has made significant judgements and assumptions regarding the Redemption Term of the DSLN (i.e. 10 years) and the expected cash outflows
that would arise from the repayment of the DSLN at the maturity date. As such, the core debt has been discounted by 12% to net present value over the
expected term of the DSLN and is included in non-current borrowings. The derivative element has been fair valued at the Redemption Premium payable
on the Maturity Date under the DSLN i.e. an amount equal to the value of the call option on the Maturity Date being the difference between the market
value and strike price.

Should the Group repay or partially repay the DSLN before the maturity date, the total amount payable under the DSLN could significantly differ from the
respective carrying amounts.

The Board of Directors are responsible for managing financial risk policies and exposures of the Group. It also reviews the effectiveness of internal
controls relating to commodity price risk, counterparty credit risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.  

The overall risk management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets while minimising potential adverse effects on financial
performance. This includes the review of the use of hedging derivative instruments, credit risk policies and future cash flow requirements.

17.3 Specific Financial Risk Exposures and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk consisting of interest rate risk and
foreign currency risk. There have been no substantive changes in the types of risks the Group is exposed to, how these risks arise, or the Board’s
objectives, policies and processes for managing or measuring the risks from the previous period.

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

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

Collateral held by the Group securing receivables is detailed in note 9.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties. Details with respect to credit risk of
trade and other receivables is provided in note 9.

Trade and other receivables that are neither past due or impaired are considered to be of high credit quality. Aggregates of such amounts are as detailed
at note 9.

(b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter difficulty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to
financial liabilities.  The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:
 - preparing forward-looking cash flow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and financing activities;
 - monitoring undrawn credit facilities;
 - maintaining a reputable credit profile; and
 - managing credit risk related to financial assets.

The following table details the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the
undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The table includes both
interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the
statement of financial position.

Financial Assets Pledged as Collateral
Certain financial assets have been pledged as security for debt and their realisation into cash may be restricted subject to terms and conditions attached
to the relevant debt contracts. Refer to note 16 for further details.

(c) Market Risk
(i)

Interest rate risk
Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at the end of the reporting period whereby a
future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments. 

(ii)

Foreign exchange risk
The Board and senior management regularly monitor foreign currency movements and has undertaken to use hedging contracts where
appropriate to the value of up to 100% of its US dollar requirements over a maximum 6  month period.

18. Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the
consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities
deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable
amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying amount. Any excess of the asset’s
carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance
with the standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is
treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with the standard (AASB 116).

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

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use.

The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is
determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on a one-year
budget and four-year projections approved by management. Cash flows beyond the one-year budget period are extrapolated using the estimated growth
rates stated below. The growth rates for the terminal period do not exceed the long-term average growth rates for the industry in which each CGU
operates.

Sensitivity
The calculation of value-in-use is most sensitive to changes in the discount rate. The Directors have made judgements and estimates in respect of
impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets. Should these estimates not occur, the resulting goodwill and intangible assets may vary in carrying
amount. If the discount rate was to increase by 3%, goodwill would not need to be impaired with all other assumptions remaining constant, for scaffold
division.

18.1 Key Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions: Impairment

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

The following key assumptions were used in the value-in-use calculations:

Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets for each reporting segment. These budgets use historical weighted average growth
rates to project revenue. Costs are calculated taking into account historical gross margins as well as estimated weighted average inflation rates over the
period which are consistent with inflation rates applicable to the locations in which the segments operate. Discount rates are pre-tax and are adjusted to
incorporate risks associated with a particular segment.

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

Capital Management
Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain a sustainable debt to equity ratio, generate long-term shareholder value and ensure
that the Group can fund its operations and continue as a going concern.

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

The Group is subject to financing covenants as detailed in note 14.  

Management effectively manages the Group’s capital by assessing the Group's financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in
these risks and in the market.  These responses include the management of debt levels, distributions to shareholders and share issues.

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year. This strategy is to identify
opportunities to reduce the Group's gearing ratio. The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 are as follows:

Total borrowings
Add: Derivative financial instruments
Less: Cash and cash equivalents
Net debt and derivative financial instruments

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the owners of Oldfields Holdings Limited, excluding any costs of servicing
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus
elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of
interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been
issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been

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

Other information 

The directors are responsible for the other information.  The other information comprises the 
information in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the 
financial report and the auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and 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.  

When we read the annual report, if we conclude based on the work we have performed, that there is a 
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report  

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report  

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

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

Corporate Governance Statement  

The  Board  of  Directors  of  Oldfields  Holdings  Limited  is  committed  to  high  standards  of  corporate  governance  and  adopts  wherever 
possible the principles outlined in the Corporate Governance Principles and Best Practice Recommendations, 3rd Edition published by 
the ASX Corporate Governance Council in March 2014. 

The  recommendations  are  written  in  a  principles  based  fashion  and  individual  boards  are  able  to  choose  whether  to  follow  the 
recommended practices or to adopt other practices that are better suited to the individual circumstances of the Group. Given the size 
and specific circumstances of Oldfields Holdings Limited the Board recognises that some of the best practice recommendations are not 
suited  to  obtaining  the  best  shareholder  outcomes  at  the  present  time.  This  situation  is  monitored  by  the  Board  and  the 
recommendations will be adopted as and when the Group’s circumstances allow. 

All  relevant  best  practice  recommendations  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council  have  been  applied  for  the  reporting  period 
unless  specifically  disclosed  below.  Where  a  recommended  practice  has  not  been  followed  a  detailed  description  of  the  practices 
adopted is provided together with a commentary on how the risks of non-adoption of the recommended practice are mitigated.

Principle 1. LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT & OVERSIGHT 

Recommendation 1.1 – Establish functions reserved for the board and for senior management and disclose those functions. 

The Board of Directors is accountable to the shareholders for the performance of the Group. The Board sets the strategic direction and 
delegate’s responsibility for the management of the Group to the Chief Executive Officer. 

A copy of the Board Charter, which promotes a culture within the Group of accountability, integrity and transparency, is available on 
the Group’s website. 

Each Board Member must at all times act honestly, fairly and diligently in all respects in accordance with the Group’s Code of Conduct 
and all laws that apply to the Group. 

Key matters reserved for the Board include: 

•
•

•

•
•
•
•
•

Oversight of the Group, including its control, accountability and compliance systems;
Appointment,  monitoring,  managing  performance  and  if  necessary  removal  of  the  Chief  Executive  Officer,  Chief  Financial
Officer and Company Secretary;
Input,  assessment,  appraisal  and  final  approval  of  management’s  development  of  corporate  strategy  and  performance
objectives;
Monitoring risk management;
Approving and monitoring the progress of major capital expenditure, capital management and acquisitions and divestitures;
Approval and monitoring financial and other reporting;
Ensuring the market and shareholders are fully informed of material developments; and
Recognising the legitimate interests of stakeholders.

The expectations of directors are outlined in a formal Letter of Appointment which details the term of appointment, fees, power and 
duties and other information pertinent to their roles. 

Responsibility  for  the  day-to-day  management  of  the  Group  and  its  operations  is  delegated  to  senior  executive  management.  The 
expectations of senior executive management are outlined in Board decisions which are communicated to the Chief Executive Officer 
and recorded in the board minutes and also in the position descriptions and KPI’s for each senior executive role. 

The Board holds a minimum of six formal meetings a year, but usually twelve.  Additional meetings are held as required. 

Details of current members of the Board are disclosed in the Directors’ Report. 

Recommendation 1.2 – Undertake appropriate checks before appointing or putting forward to security holders a candidate for election 
as a director 

Details are provided on a candidate for director. These will be provided to security holders prior to any election of new Directors. 

Recommendation 1.3 – Written agreements in place with directors and senior executives 

Detailed  service  contracts  are  in  place  for  all  senior  managers  and  directors,  these  are  established  prior  to  commencement  of 
employment 

Recommendation 1.4 – Company secretary accountable to the board through the chair 

The CFO/Company Secretary has clear lines of accountability with the CFO responsibilities reporting directly through to the CEO and all 
company secretarial functions reporting through to the Chair. 

Recommendation 1.5 – Measurable diversity policy 

A detailed diversity policy is in place, and available on the Company’s webpage. In addition to this, the Company’s workplace gender 
equality  report  is  available  to  view.  Whilst  the  policy  diverges  from  some  of  the  recommendations  made,  key  areas  in  the 
recommendation are included in the policy, including the requirement that for all jobs advertised, it is stated that the Company is an 
equal  opportunity  employer,  that  at  least  one  female  applicant  is  included  in  the  final  shortlist  of  candidates  for  the  role,  and 
shortlisted candidates are interviewed by a female as well as a male member of staff prior to a final decision on employment where 
possible. Specific targets of women in senior positions within the organisation have not been set, as the company will select the best 
person for the role.  

44   

Oldfields Holdings Limited 
30 June 2018 

Recommendation 1.6 – Process for evaluation of the performance of the board 

The  Board  has  not  completed  a  formal  evaluation  process  within  the  period.  The  Chairman  performs  an  informal  evaluation  of 
individual Directors and also of each Board Meeting. The Board will be considering obtaining independent advice. 

Recommendation 1.7 – Have a process for periodically evaluating the performance of senior management 

Senior  executive  management  is  evaluated  each  year  on  their  performance  against  stated  objectives,  goals  and  key  performance 
indicators (KPI’s). 

Overall  performance  is  reviewed  by  the  particular  senior  executive’s  direct  supervisor  and  ultimately  by  the  Chief  Executive  Officer 
and/or Board of Directors. 

Principle 2. STRUCTURE THE BOARD TO ADD VALUE 

The Board currently has four directors, comprising two non-executive directors, including the Chairman, and two executive directors. 

The Board has adopted the following principles: 

•
•
•

The same individual should not exercise the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer;
The Board should not comprise a majority of executive directors; and
The Board should comprise persons with a broad range of skills and experience appropriate to the needs of the Group.

Recommendation 2.1 – The board should have a nomination committee 

Nominations are considered by the Board as a whole, and are only accepted if the candidate has the relevant skills required to assist 
the  business  in  achieving  its  strategic  objectives.  Given  the  size  and  requirements  of  the  Group,  the  Board  has  decided  that  a 
nomination committee is not required at this point in time.   

Recommendation 2.2 – Have a board skills matrix 

This has been established. 

Recommendation 2.3 – Have a list of directors that are deemed to be independent 

The Company has one independent director and this is disclosed in the annual report. 

Recommendation 2.4 – Majority of the board should be independent directors 

Independent  directors  are  those  who  are  independent  of  management  and  free  of  any  business  or  other  relationship  that  could 
materially  interfere  with,  or  could  reasonably  be  perceived  to  materially  interfere  with,  the  exercise  of  their  unfettered  and 
independent judgment. 

In assessing the independence of directors, an independent director is a non-executive director and: 

•

•

•

•

Is  not  a  substantial  shareholder,  as  defined  in  section  9  of  the  Corporations  Act,  of  the  Group  or  an  officer  of,  or  otherwise
associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Group;
Has not within the last three years been employed in an executive capacity by the Group or another Group member, and there
has been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;
Has not within the last three years been a principal of a material professional advisor or a material consultant to the Group or
another Group member, or an employee materially associated with the service provided; and
Is not a material supplier or customer of the Group or other Group member, or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or
indirectly with a material supplier or customer;

At the date of this report there was one independent director.  

The following Directors do not meet the independence criteria listed above: 

•
•
•

William Lewis Timms: currently a non-executive director and substantial shareholder;
Richard John Abela: currently an executive director and shareholder; and
Gregory John Park: currently an executive director.

The Board manages the risk of having a majority of non-independent directors through restrictions on trading in shares, restrictions on 
related party transactions, and a close relationship with the principal provider of debt funding and a strong independent auditor with a 
focus on controls.  

45   

Oldfields Holdings Limited 
30 June 2018 

Recommendation 2.5 – The chair of the board should be independent and not the CEO 

Due to the size and nature of the business, this recommendation has not been adopted. The Chair is a significant shareholder, however 
the recommendation of the Chair not being the CEO is in place. 

Recommendation 2.6 – Have a program for inducting new directors and ensuring appropriate professional development opportunities 
to develop and maintain the skills required to perform their role as directors 

There is an appropriate level of induction for new Directors ensuring they understand the business needs and requirements. The Board 
discusses from time to time requirements to ensure continuous development of skills for the performance of their role as Director. 

Principle 3. PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION – MAKING 

Recommendation 3.1 – Establish and disclose a Code of Conduct and disclose the code or a summary of the code as to the practices 
necessary to maintain confidence in the company’s integrity, the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the 
reasonable  expectations  of  their  stakeholders  and  the  responsibility  and  accountability  of  individuals  for  reporting  and  investigating 
reports of unethical practices 

The Board has a code of conduct for Directors and Group, Officers and employees. The key elements of the code are: 

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Conflicts of interest;
Corporate opportunities;
Confidentiality;
Fair dealing;
Protection of assets;
Compliance with laws and regulations; and
Promotion of ethical and lawful behavior.

The policy is available on the Company’s webpage. 

Principle 4. SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING 

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer state, in writing, to the Board that the Group’s financial reports present a 
true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Group’s financial position and operational results and are in accordance with relevant 
accounting standards. 

Recommendation 4.1 – the board should establish an audit committee 

The Board has an Audit Committee, which: 
•
•
•

Has two members who are Non-Executive Directors;
Has a written charter which can be obtained from the Corporate Governance section of the Group’s website; and
Includes members who are all financially literate.

Details of the members are disclosed in the Director’s Report. 

The Board recognises that an independent audit committee is an important feature of good corporate governance. 

The Audit Committee: 
•

consists  only  of  non-executive  directors,  however  all  Directors  are  entitled  to  receive  the  papers  of  the  Committee  and  to
attend meetings of the Committee and to meet with the auditors; 
is chaired by an independent chairman, who is not Chair of the Board;
has two members. Given the size and structure of the Board, as discussed in Recommendation  2.1, the Board feels that two
members both of whom are financially literate, is sufficient at this time.

•
•

The  risk  with  a  small  committee  is  that  the  members  will  lack  the  diversity  to  raise  and  recognise  issues.    Risk  is  managed  through 
specific working arrangements with the auditors having access to the full Board at any time upon their request and through ensuring 
that the Chairman of the Audit Committee is a well-qualified independent director. It is intended to review this arrangement and adopt 
the recommended practice if and when the Board composition changes. 

46   

Oldfields Holdings Limited 
30 June 2018 

The Audit Committee has a formal charter, the key elements of the charter are: 
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Role of the Committee;
Membership;
Meetings;
Responsibilities;
Authority;
Independence; and
Non-audit work.

The Board and Audit Committee closely monitor the independence of the external auditor. The Audit Committee meets a minimum of 
twice a year. The Committee may also meets in private, with management without the external auditor and, at a separate time, with 
the external auditor without management where considered necessary. 

Recommendation  4.2  –  Prior  to  approving  financial  statements  the  board  receive  from  the  CFO  and  CEO  a  declaration  of  properly 
maintained records and compliance with accounting standards 

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer state, in writing, to the Board that the Group’s financial reports present a 
true and fair view, in all material respects, of the Group’s financial position and operational results and are in accordance with relevant 
accounting standards. 

The members of the Audit Committee are:  
•
•

Stephen Charles Hooper (Chairman); and
William Lewis Timms.

Departures from recommendations included in Principle 4 have been disclosed in the discussion of the relevant recommendations. 

Recommendation 4.3 – External auditor attends AGM 

The lead partner from the Company’s auditors always attends the Company’s AGM. 

Principle 5. MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE 

Recommendation 5.1 – Establish policy on ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements and ensure accountability at a senior executive level 
for that compliance and disclose those policies or a summary of those policies 

The Group has established procedures to ensure compliance with ASX Listing Rules which require that when an entity becomes aware 
of any information concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of the entity’s 
securities, the entity must immediately tell ASX that information. 

A  Continuous  Disclosure  Policy  and  Procedure  has  been  prepared  and  is  available  from  the  Corporate  Governance  section  of  the 
Group’s website.

47   

Oldfields Holdings Limited 
30 June 2018 

The requirements of continuous disclosure ensure that the Group discloses relevant information to the shareholders and the market in 
a timely and full manner. 

The Shareholder Communication Strategy is available on the Oldfields website. 

Recommendation 6.3 – Disclose policies and processes in place to encourage shareholder meeting participation 

Security holders who are unable to attend meetings are given the opportunity in shareholder communications to ask questions of the 
Directors and responses are provided to them.  

Recommendation 6.4 – Provide security holders the option to receive communications electronically 

The Company’s share registry provider provides this option to all security holders. 

Principle 7. RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISK 

Recommendation 7.1 – Companies should establish policies for the oversight and management of material business risks and disclose a 
summary of those policies 

The Board recognises that there are a number of complex operational, commercial, financial and legal risks and has in place procedures 
to safeguard the Group’s assets and interests. 

A Work Health and Safety Committee has been established to monitor and recommend changes to safe working practices and a safe 
working environment. The Chairman is not a Director, and the committee comprises the Managing Director, senior executive officers 
and employee representatives. 

The Board has developed a risk management policy the purpose of which is: 

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Identify, access, monitor and manage risk;
Inform investors of material changes to the Group’s risk profile;
Enhance the environment for capitalising on value creation opportunities;
Ensure compliance with the Corporations Act;
Consider the reasonable expectations of its stakeholders;
The measures and procedures in place to comply with these regulations; and
How compliance with those measures and procedures will be monitored.

A summary of these policies is contained in the Risk Management Statement which is disclosed on the Oldfields website. 

Recommendation 7.2 – The board should review the risk management framework annually 

The Group’s risk management policy is designed and implemented by the Board of Directors’ which meet regularly to identify all major 
risks,  ensure  appropriate  risk  management  plans  are  in  place  and  to  monitor  the  effectiveness  of  the  implementation  of  the  risk 
management plans. 

The  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  are  required  to  state  in  writing  to  the  Board  that  the  Group’s  risk 
management and internal compliance and control system is operating effectively and efficiently in all material aspects. 

Recommendation 7.3 – The board should disclose whether it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what 
role it performs 

From time to time and as required, the Board will outsource the internal audit function to a company that specialises in this work. The 
company will review certain areas of controls and compliance and report back to the CEO/CFO and manager of the area. This report 
when finalised with comments from management along with timelines for compliance are provided to the Board for review. 

Recommendation 7.4 – Disclose material exposure to material exposure to economic, environmental and social sustainability risk 

The business is exposed to various risks, in particular economic and social sustainability risk. The Board is fully aware of these and these 
risks  are  mitigated  wherever  possible.  In  terms  of  social  sustainability  risk,  the  Company  is  a  party  to  the  packaging  covenant 
agreement and reviews product packaging for sustainability and recyclability.

Principle 8. REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY 

Recommendation 8.1 – The board should establish a remuneration committee 

The Board has established a Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for developing and recommending 
to the Board: 

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Remuneration policies for Non-Executive Directors;
Remuneration policies for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer;
Remuneration policies for executive management;
All aspects of any executive share option or acquisition scheme;

Policies which motivate senior executives to pursue the long term growth and success of the Group; and
Policies which show a clear relationship between senior executives’ performance and remuneration.

The Board has a remuneration committee which has two members and a documented charter.  The members and qualification of the 
Remuneration Committee are disclosed in the Directors’ Report. 

Due to the size and nature of the Board as discussed in recommendation 2.4 the following items of recommendation are not followed: 

•
•

consists of a majority of independent directors; and
has at least three members.

The remuneration of Non-Executive Directors is by way of director’s fees in the form of cash, non-cash benefits and superannuation 
benefits. 

The total annual remuneration paid to Non-Executive Directors  may not exceed the limit set by shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting. 

Non-Executive Directors do not receive options unless approved by shareholders. 

Recommendation 8.2 – Disclosure of policies and practices of remuneration of non-executive and executive directors 

The  Group  has  clearly  differentiated  the  remuneration  structure  of  Executive  and  Non-Executive  Directors.  The  key  elements  of  the 
remuneration philosophy are disclosed in the Remuneration Committee Charter which is available on the Oldfields website. 

Recommendation 8.3 – Policy on equity based remuneration scheme 

The  Company  currently  does  not  have  an  equity  based  remuneration  scheme.  Prior  to  one  being  implemented  and  approved  by 
security holders a policy will be established for security holders to review.

Risk Management Statement  

1.

Introduction

This  statement  provides  an  overview  of  the  Group's  risk  management  policies  and  internal  compliance  and  control  systems  in 
accordance with Principle 7 of the ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance. 

2. Responsibility

The Board of Directors are responsible for oversight on a regular basis of the Group's procedures and risk management policies. The 
responsibility of the Board is codified under the Board Charter, which is available on the Group’s website. The Group also has  an 
audit  committee,  the  responsibilities  of  which  are  documented  in  the  Audit  Committee  Charter  which  is  also  available  on  the 
Group’s website. 

3. Risk Management Monitoring

The  Board  has  implemented  a  combination  of  internal  policies  and  procedures  and  use  of  external  audits  to  monitor  risk 
management and its effectiveness. 

3.1. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) 

The Board has implemented risk management policies covering areas of business risk such as: 

•
•
•
•
•

Work health and safety;
Finance and treasury;
Human resources;
Asset protection (insurance); and
Codes of conduct.

The policies referred to are regularly reviewed and an internal mechanism exists whereby the Board and Committee members have 
access to these reports on an internal intranet site. The Board manages these risks appropriately with reference to identification, 
implementation and review of these risks and procedures. 

3.2. External Audits 

The external audit of the Group is conducted annually. There is also a formal review at least once every year. Both the audit and 
review are conducted by an external auditor. 

The Group has a Work Health and Safety Committee which has received training and certification by external OH&S providers. 

The Group engages with qualified external advisors annually in relation to asset protection.  Where possible the Board adopts the 
most practical and affordable insurance policies suitable to protect major assets of the Group. 

In general an external qualified auditor and or valuers are engaged by the Board in determining large asset values on acquisition of 
assets.    An  external  valuation  is  obtained  to  determine  and  verify  carrying  values  of  investment  property  by  an  external 
independent registered property valuer at least every three years where applicable. 

3.3. Risk Management Statements 

The integrity of the Group's financial reports relies on sound business and risk control systems. 

Annually, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) are required to sign a Risk Management Statement 
that is provided to the audit committee in writing. 

The CEO and CFO sign a statement regarding the adequacy of financial controls in accordance with section 295a of the Corporations 
Act 2001.  

The Board requires management to report on the key business risks for each area of the business at each board meeting. 

3.4. Internal Audit 

Given the Group's size, an internal auditor is not practical.  In addition, the presence of an executive director on the Board allows for 
detailed oversight of risks within each business by managers who are familiar with the risk environment but not directly involved in 
the  management  of  that  particular  business.  In  addition  to  this  the  Company  from  time  to  time  may  utilise  the  services  of  an 
internal auditing company to provide oversight of certain aspects of the business. 

50

Oldfields Holdings Limited 
30 June 2018 

3.5. External Covenants 

The Group has voluntarily associated itself with the following self-regulated authorities: 

•

•

WGE (Workplace Gender Equality Act):  The Group reports annually on targets and policy to an external agency in regards to
Equal Opportunity Guidelines and Policy within the work force. The Board receives and reviews this annually; and
Australian  Packaging  Covenant:  The  Group  sets  targets  to  reduce  packaging  waste  and  environmental  impact  of  packaging
waste.   Targets are set and guidelines adopted and where  possible administered by management. The Board reviews  these
targets annually.

The  Group  has  also  entered  into  an  agreement  with  its  principal  lender  (Westpac  Banking  Corporation)  which  provides  external 
overview of financial risks by a representative of the bank. 

4. Formal Risk Management Practices

The Group operates a formal process for risk management which includes: 

•
•
•
•
•
•

Risk identification;
Risk analysis;
Risk evaluation;
Risk mitigation;
Risk monitoring and reporting; and 
Risk communication.

The  risk  management  process  meets  appropriate  professional  standards  and  is  reviewed  annually  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  The 
process meets, but is not limited to the requirements of Principle 7 of the ASX Principles for Good Corporate Governance. 

5. Risk Reporting and Communication

Risks are reported and their monitoring and management are communicated in accordance with the diagram below: 

Material Risks

Communication 

Effective  risk  management  is  reliant  on  the  timely  and  open  communication  of  actual  or  potential  risk  events  across  the 
organisation. Free and frank communication is at the heart of the Group's risk management approach, and where the processes and 
accountabilities described in these standards may not support a suitably rapid response to any risk, then communication should be 
undertaken using whatever means to achieve the best outcome for the Group. 

For the avoidance of doubt, Oldfields Holdings Limited has a whistle-blower policy in place and encourages all staff to report risks of 
which they are aware.
