PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

“2020 was a 
landmark year 
for PTB Group”

Craig Baker, Chairman

This year PTB Group delivered a record financial result, achieving sales revenue of $78 million, up 52% on the 
prior year. This included a four-month contribution from our acquisition of Prime Turbines. Profit Before Tax, 
Foreign Exchange and Acquisition Costs was also a record result, up 50% on the prior period to $7.959 million.

On the back of this record result and the strong level of liquidity, the Board has declared a fully franked final 
dividend of $0.025 per share, thereby taking the full year dividend to $0.05 per share.

2020 was a landmark year for PTB Group, not only for the record financial results, but also due to the acquisition 
of Prime Turbines. This acquisition significantly strengthens our position in the United States, the largest market 
in the world, adding further diversity to the end markets and customers which PTB serves. 

The  management  team,  led  by  Stephen  Smith,  have  done  a  tremendous  job  of  successfully  integrating  the 
operations of Prime Turbines and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of our newest employees 
and customers to the PTB Group family.

As we enter FY2021 we continue to see the effects of COVID-19 unfold in global aviation markets. While we are 
not immune to those effects, the resilience of our business model and the strength of our balance sheet ensures 
we are well placed to respond to the challenges that may present.

Craig Baker

Chairman

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020 
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Stephen Smith, Managing Director

FY2020 was a significant year of growth in our company, fuelled by the acquisition 
of Prime Turbines and the continued strong performance from the existing PTB 
Group. This financial year we recorded our highest ever revenues and earnings 
and we finished the year with a robust balance sheet with over $15 million of 
cash on hand. This result was extremely pleasing in the face of unprecedented 
market conditions and is a testament to the resilience of the operations of the 
Group and our people.

BUSINESS UPDATE

The past 12 months have represented a landmark year in the history of our business. FY2020 saw PTB Group 
deliver a record financial result, complete the acquisition of Prime Turbines, successfully raise $34.9 million of 
new  equity,  welcome  a  suite  of  new  and  supportive  investors  to  the  register  and  successfully  navigate  the 
challenges presented by the outbreak of COVID-19.

ACQUISITION UPDATE

On 31 January 2020 we announced our intention to acquire Prime Turbines, along with selected CT Aerospace 
inventory from VSE Corporation (VSEC.NASDAQ). This acquisition was completed on 26 February 2020 and the 
results incorporated under PTB ownership from 1 March 2020.

To fund the acquisition, PTB Group raised $34.9 million of new equity from new and existing shareholders. The 
equity issuance was oversubscribed, reflecting the growth platforms available to the business and the strong 
strategic rationale underpinning the acquisition.

With the acquisition complete, we welcome to the PTB family our newest members from Prime Turbines. Prime 
Turbines conducts the same type of business as PTB, with a strong focus on the Pratt and Whitney PT6 series 
of engines. The business is led by Bruce Weaver and John Waldrop, with whom I share professional relationships 
of over 15 years.

This talented management team, in combination with the seamless overlap of operational footprint, has resulted 
in a smooth and efficient integration. 

FINANCIAL UPDATE

FY2020 marked another year of continued growth for PTB Group with all the business units continuing to perform 
at or above expectations, culminating in a record financial result. PTB Group posted revenues of $78 million, up 
52% on last financial year. At an earnings level, PTB Group posted Net Profit Before Tax (excluding foreign exchange 
gains and acquisition costs) (“NPBTFX”) of $7.959 million, up 50% on the previous corresponding period.

The FY2020 results include $331,500 from payments received under the JobKeeper Payment scheme.

Importantly, our balance sheet remains liquid, ending the year with a cash balance of $15.207 million. This positions 
the business to selectively pursue further growth initiatives as they arise.

The management team have delivered under demanding conditions and continue to implement growth strategies 
which augur well for future financial years.

GROUP HIGHLIGHTS

Several financial milestones were achieved throughout the year, a few of which are highlighted below:

 » Record revenues of $78 million, up 52% on the previous year

 » Record NPBTFX of $7.959 million, up 50% on the previous year

 » Ending cash balance of $15.207m, up $8.033m over the previous year

 » Sale and lease back of three test cells acquired as part of the Prime Turbines transaction, increasing available 

cash by $3.659 million

 » Extension  of  the  USD  component  of  the  CBA  loan  facilities  by  $3.162m  and  for  a  further  3  years  with  a 

reduced fixed rate

 » A four-month contribution from Prime Turbines (from 1 March)

PACIFIC TURBINE BRISBANE

Pacific  Turbine  Brisbane  delivered  a  NPBTFX  of  $5.596  million  (2019:  $3.928  million).  Increased  volumes  of 
engine overhaul work completed by the workshop was the main driver of this result. The part sales team also 
contributed an improved result, building on the deep customer relationships and proving to be a valued partner 
in the supply of parts and equipment. 

PACIFIC TURBINE USA GROUP

Pacific Turbine USA Group returned a NPBTFX of $2.145 million (2019: $0.549 million). Prime Turbines has been 
included in this division since 1 March 2020 and was the main driver of the improved result.

The existing PTUSA operations continue to supply a large portion of the parts used by the PT6 workshop in 
Brisbane, and now also supplies the three workshops acquired as part of the Prime Turbines acquisition. The 
inventory acquired from CT Aerospace has now been relocated to the Miami facility.

PACIFIC TURBINE LEASING

Pacific Turbine Leasing delivered a NPBTFX of $0.288 million (2019: $0.641 million). The business continues to 
generate  stable  returns  from  its  customers,  leasing  engines  and/or  aircraft.  The  business  has  a  number  of 
additional leasing deals being negotiated at present that are expected to add to future returns.

The addition of Prime Turbines and the addition of EASA and FAA certification positions this division well for 
future growth opportunities.

INTERNATIONAL AIR PARTS

The IAP business posted a NPBTFX of $1.969 million (2019: $1.855 million). The business continues to invest in 
stock for the engine parts business and is expected to continue to provide consistent results into the future.

CORPORATE OVERHEADS

Costs relating to corporate overheads were $2.039 million (2019: $1.659 million). These costs include all head 
office  and  corporate  costs,  including  group  management,  the  board  and  the  central  finance  function.  These 
costs are expected to continue to increase in line with the increase in the size and complexity of the Group’s 
operations.

BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

PTB Group ended the financial year with a robust Balance Sheet. Cash on hand was the highest ever at $15.207 
million and net debt was $25.531 million (2019: $13.143 million). 

Total debt increased from $20.317 million to $40.738 million mainly due to: 

 »

 »

 »

sale and lease back of the 3 test cells

extension of the CBA facility

vendor loan for CT Aerospace inventory

Net assets increased from $50.966 million to $86.312 million mainly due to the acquisition of Prime Turbines, 
which was fully funded via new equity issues of $34.9 million.

CASH FLOWS

The cash balance at the end of the year was $15.207 million (2019: $7.174 million). Cash flows from operating 
activities were ($8.414) million (2019: $4.193 million). Operating cash flows were reduced due to the acquisition 
of the $12.177 million of inventory from CT Aerospace.

Cash  flows  from  financing  activities  were  $49.203  million. This  included  the  issuance  of  new  equity  and  the 
additional loan facilities. These were partly offset by principal repayments of $4.015 million and $1.873 million of 
dividend payments.

PTB  Group’s  Integrated  business  model  aims  to  provide  multiple  touchpoints  over  the  asset  lifecycle.  PTB 
Group’s  leasing  division  provides  an  initial  entrée  into  life  of  an  engine  or  airframe,  thereafter  allowing  the 
provision of further ancillary support services such as Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (“MRO”) services and 
the sale of engines or spare parts. At the end of the engine or airframe’s serviceable life, PTB Group again has 
an opportunity to remarket the asset or derive value from component sales.

PTB’s INTEGRATED BUSINESS MODEL

PTB  Group  offers  a  range  of  services  over  the  asset  lifecycle  from  the  arranging  and  provision  of  financing 
services in the form of:

 » Power By The Hour programs: engine management programs which provide an agreed rate per flying hour 

over an asset’s life (engine or airframe)

 » Spare parts sales 

 » End of lease remarketing and tear down services

GLOBAL AND GROWING MARKET

PTB Group is a relatively small player in a global and growing market. It is estimated there are in excess of 20,000 
PT6 engines in global circulation, with PTB’s market share currently estimated to be less than 2%. The acquisition 
of Prime Turbines brings with it FAA and EASA accreditation which positions PTB Group well to grow its global 
market share.

The global population of turboprop engines is estimated to 
be in excess of 25,000 residing in over 180 different countries

More than one-third of the world’s commercial airports rely 
exclusively on planes with turboprop engines

Turboprop  aircraft  connect  remote  locations  and  therefore 
play  an  essential  role  in  regional  economic  development. 
Pacific, Caribbean, Asian and other regional markets depend 
on turboprop aircraft as a key mode of transportation

Global sales of turboprop aircraft continue to display upward 
momentum over the long term growing at a CAGR of 6.3% 
over the 2010 to 2018 period

COVID-19 Impacts and Response
The effects of COVID-19 on PTB’s operations were mainly contained to those customers impacted by slowing 
tourism markets, with other customers generally maintaining, and in some cases increasing, their demand for 
services. 

PTB’s main exposure to tourism markets lies within the Maldives, which closed to international visitors and saw 
very limited hours flown during the fourth quarter of FY2020. However, as of 15 July 2020, the Maldives reopened 
its  borders  and  recommenced  accepting  international  tourists.  While  we  expect  the  rate  of  recovery  to  full 
operations in the Maldives to be slow, PTB should experience growing revenues from this region in FY2021.

The  increased  customer  and  end  market  diversification  delivered  by  the  acquisition  of  Prime  Turbines 
(management estimates 2% of Prime’s revenues are derived from tourism) also assisted to cushion the impacts 
of COVID-19 on PTB Group overall. 

In addition to its increased customer and end market diversification, PTB’s strategy of focusing on the whole of 
asset lifecycle value chain allowed it to pivot its strategy to focus on other revenue streams including engine and 
parts sales. Further to this, the reduced demand from contract customers in the Maldives allowed the workshops 
to focus on higher margin non-contract services. The graphs below demonstrate the shift in revenue streams.

Overall, PTB’s focus on the narrow-bodied sub-25 seat capacity aviation market, in conjunction with its integrated 
business model and diverse customer base, allowed it to deliver a record financial result despite the challenging 
market conditions.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Other than as detailed in the Chairman and Managing Director’s Reviews, the directors have excluded from this 
report any further information on the likely developments in the operations of the Group and the expected results 
of those operations in future financial years, as the directors have reasonable grounds to believe that it would be 
likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Group.

in the USA. It is required to meet the Commonwealth’s Airports (Environment Protection) Regulations 1997 as

Additional information

The information provided in this remuneration report has been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the 
Corporations Act 2001.

A. Key management personnel

The directors and other key management personnel of the consolidated entity during or since the end of the 
financial year were:

Non-executive directors

Mr CL Baker (Chairman, Non-Executive Director)

Mr APS Kemp (Non-Executive Director)

Mr RQ Cole (Non-Executive Director)

Mr PP Gunasekara (Non-Executive Director)

Executive officers

Mr SG Smith (Managing Director)

Mr D Zgrajewski (Company Secretary and CFO)

Except as noted, the named persons held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the 
end of the financial year.

B. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration

Non-executive Directors

Non-executive  directors  are  to  be  paid  out  of  Group  funds  as  remuneration  for  their  services,  such  sum  as 
accrues on a daily basis as the Group determines to be divided among them as agreed, or failing agreement, 
equally.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  which  has  been  approved  by  shareholders  for  payment  to  non-
executive directors is $200,000 per annum.

Directors’ remuneration for their services as directors is by a fixed sum and not a commission or a percentage 
of  profits  or  operating  revenue.  The  maximum  aggregate  amount  may  not  be  increased  except  at  a  general 
meeting in which particulars of the proposed increase have been provided in the notice convening the meeting 
of shareholders. There is provision for directors who devote special attention to the business of the Group or who 
perform services which are regarded as being outside the scope of their ordinary duties as directors, or who at 
the request of the Board engage in any journey on Group business, to be paid extra remuneration determined by 
the Board. 

Directors are also entitled to their reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred in attending 
Group or Board meetings, or meetings of any committee engaged in the Group’s business. Any director may be 
paid a retirement benefit as determined by the Board, consistent with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX 
Listing Rules. 

18

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Executive and Key Management Pay

The  remuneration  committee  is  responsible  for  advising  the  Board  on  remuneration  and  issues  relevant  to 
remuneration  policies  and  practices  including  those  of  senior  management  and  executive  directors.  The 
committee has responsibility for reviewing and evaluating market practices and trends in relation to remuneration, 
recommending  remuneration  policies,  overseeing  the  performance  and  making  recommendations  on 
remuneration of members of senior management and executive directors.

Remuneration  in  each  case  is  taken  as  including  not  only  monetary  payments  (salaries),  but  all  other  non-
monetary emoluments and benefits, retirement benefits, superannuation and incentive programs.

In  each  case  the  committee  refers  to  the  general  market  and  industry  practice  (as  far  as  directly  relevant 
benchmarks can be identified for comparative purposes) and the need to attract and retain high caliber personnel. 

Compensation in the form of cash bonuses for executives and key management personnel is designed to ensure 
reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive 
and key management reward with achievement of strategic objectives and creation of value for shareholders in 
terms of return on equity and conforms to market practice for delivery of reward.  

The  Board  ensures  that  executive  and  key  management  reward  satisfies  the  following  key  criteria  for  good 
reward governance practices:

 » Competitiveness and reasonableness;

 » Acceptability to shareholders;

 » Performance alignment of compensation;

 » Transparency; and

 » Capital management.

Executive Directors

The executive directors’ pay and reward framework has the following components:

 » Base pay and benefits, including superannuation; and

 » Short-term performance incentives.

Base pay: Structured as a total employment cost package which may be delivered as a combination of cash and 
prescribed  non-financial  benefits  at  the  executive  director’s  discretion.  Base  pay  is  reviewed  annually  and 
benchmarked against inflation.

Superannuation:  executive  directors’  base  pay  may  include  statutory  and  salary  sacrificed  superannuation 
contributions.

Short-term  performance  incentives:  Cash  bonus  incentives  are  based  on  pre-determined  after  tax  return  on 
equity and operational targets based on the criteria detailed above, as set by the remuneration committee. The 
bonuses are paid in October each year. The pre-determined targets ensure that variable reward is only available 
when value has been created for shareholders, and when profit and operational objectives are consistent with 
the  business  plan.  Each  executive  director  has  a  target  short-term  incentive  opportunity  depending  on  the 
accountabilities of the role and impact on the organisation or business unit performance. The maximum target 
bonus opportunity is 33 per cent of base pay.

As advised in the following “Section C. Details of Remuneration”, no short-term incentives were paid to executive 
directors during the financial year (2019: Nil).

Other Executives and Key Management Personnel

Other Executives and key management personnel’s pay and reward framework includes base pay and short-term 
incentives. There are no fixed performance criteria for the cash bonuses. After the end of the financial year the 
remuneration committee assesses the performance of individuals and, where appropriate, approves discretionary 
cash  bonuses  to  be  paid  to  the  individuals.  Cash  bonuses  are  paid  following  approval  by  the  remuneration 
committee.

Long-term incentives to Executives and Employees

In  order  to  provide  a  long-term  incentive  to  the  executives  and  employees  of  the  Group,  an  Employee  Share 
Option Scheme (“the Scheme”) is in place. The incentive provided by the scheme will be of material benefit to 
the Group in encouraging the commitment and continuity of service of the recipients. By providing executives 

19

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

and  employees  with  a  personal  financial  interest  in  the  Group,  the  Group  will  be  able  to  attract  and  retain 
executive directors, key executives and employees in a highly competitive market. This is expected to result in 
future benefits accruing to the shareholders of the Group.

The establishment of the Scheme was approved by shareholders on 3 June 2005. All staff are eligible to participate 
in the scheme, including executive directors (since they take part in the management of the Group).

As advised in the following “Section E Share-Based Payment Compensation” no options were issued under the 
scheme during the year (2019: Nil).

Company Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors’ and Executive Remuneration

The base salaries for the executives are substantially in accordance with the market for executives of similar 
levels.

of  their  duties  as  an  officer  of  the  Group,  and  any  other  payments  arising  from  or  in  connection  with  such 
proceedings, other than where such liabilities arise from conduct involving a willful breach of duty.

The policy prohibits disclosure of details of the cover and the amount of the premium paid.

Proceedings on Behalf of the Company

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

No proceedings have been brought or intervened in on behalf of the Company with leave of the Court under 
section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001.

Non-Audit Services

The  Group  may  decide  to  employ  the  auditor  on  assignments  additional  to  statutory  audit  duties  where  the 
auditor’s expertise and experience with the Group are important.

The Board of Directors has considered the position and, in accordance with the advice received from the audit 
committee  is  satisfied  that  the  provision  of  non-audit  services,  if  any,  during  the  year  is  compatible  with  the 
general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Corporate  Governance  describes  the  framework  of 
rules,  relationships,  systems  and  processes  within 
and  by  which  authority  is  exercised  and  controlled 
within corporations. It encompasses the mechanisms 
by which companies, and those in control, are held to 
account.  Good  corporate  governance  promotes 
investor  confidence  which  is  crucial  to  the  ability  of 
the Group to compete for capital.

The  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council’s  Corporate 
Governance  Principles  and  Recommendations  3rd 
Edition recommends eight core corporate governance 
principles  for  entities  listed  on  the  ASX  that,  in  the 
Council’s view are likely to achieve good governance 
outcomes  and  meet  the  reasonable  expectations  
in  most  situations.  The 
of  most 
Recommendations  are  not  mandatory  and  do  not 
seek to prescribe the corporate governance practices 
that a listed entity must adopt.

for 

the  Company’s 

Responsibility

Appointment of Board Members

When  a  vacancy  exists,  through  whatever  cause,  or

the  services  of  a  new  member  with  particular  skills, 
the Board considers a panel of candidates identified 
and selected by the Board having regard to:

a)  what may be appropriate for the Company and the 

Group;

b)  the  skills,  expertise  and  experience  of  the 

candidates;

c)  the  mix  of  those  skills,  expertise  and  experience 

with those of the existing directors; and

d)  the perceived compatibility of the candidates with 

the Group and with the existing directors.

Potential candidates to be appointed as directors are 
considered by the Board with advice from an external 
consultant  as  considered  by  the  Board  to  be 

29

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

appropriate.  The  Board  then  appoints  the  most 
suitable candidates who (assuming that they consent 
to  act  as  directors)  continue  in  office  only  until  the 
next AGM and are then eligible for re-election but are 
not taken into account in determining the number of 
directors  to  retire  by  rotation  at  the  AGM.  Security 
holders  are  provided  with  all  material  information  in 
the  Group’s  possession  relevant  to  a  decision  on 
whether or not to elect or re-elect a director

The  terms  and  conditions  of  the  appointment  of  all 
new  members  of  the  Board  must  be  specified  in  a 
letter of appointment. 

Service Agreements with Senior Management 
and Company Secretary

The terms of appointment of senior management are 
documented  in  a  service  agreement.  Key  details  of 
service agreements with key management personnel 
are detailed in the remuneration report forming part 
of the Directors’ Report in the annual report.

The terms of appointment of the company secretary 
are documented in a service agreement including that 
the company secretary is accountable directly to the 
board, through the chair, on all matters to do with the 
proper functioning of the board.

contribution  of  individual  members  in  terms  of  the 
execution of the required Board functions as described 
above,  for  the  relevant  year.  Members  of  the  Board 
whose  performance  is  unsatisfactory  are  asked  to 
retire.  The  Charter  is  available  on  the  Company’s 
website.  It  is  considered  that  an  informal  annual 
evaluation  of  the  performance  of  the  Board,  its 
committees  and  the  directors  by  the  Chairman  is 
appropriate  given  the  size  and  complexity  of  the 
business. 

Senior Management Evaluation Process

The process for evaluating the performance of senior 
management includes a process of annual appraisals 
measuring  performance  against  goals  and  key 
performance indicators including contributions to the 
overall  outcomes  of  the  business.  Performance 
evaluations have taken place in accordance with the 
process disclosed.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add 
value

A listed entity should have a board of an appropriate 
size, composition, skills and commitment to enable it 
to discharge its duties effectively.

Diversity Policy

Recommendation 2.1 

Complies: YES

The  Board  aims  to  create  a  corporate  culture  that 
embraces  diversity  by  applying  transparent  merit 
based  principles

promotion opportunities.

career development and recognises the importance of 
creating  an  environment  that  is  conducive  to  the 
suitably  qualified  employees, 
appointment  of 
management and Board candidates who will maximise 
the achievement of the corporate goals.

issued  by  ASX 
Best  practice  recommendations 
recommend  a  separate  disclosure  of  measurable 
objectives  for  measuring  gender  diversity  and  the 
proportion  of  women  employees 
in  the  whole 
organisation, in senior positions and on the Board.

The  Board  is  of  the  view  that  given  the  size  of  the 
Group and of the Board, it is considered that setting 
diversity  targets  and  measurement  systems  are  not 
appropriate  and  hence  PTB  Group  does  not  fully 
comply with this guideline.

Board and Committee Evaluation Process

The  performance  of  the  Board,  its  committees,  and 
individual  directors  is  evaluated  annually  by  the 
Chairman in accordance with the Group’s Corporate 
Governance Charter. This review includes the mix and 
experience and skills represented, the effectiveness of 
the  performance  and 
Board  processes,  and 

30

The board of a listed entity should:

(a) have a nomination committee which: 

(1)  has  at  least  three  members,  a  majority  of 

whom are independent directors; and 

(2) is  chaired  by  an  independent  director,  and 

disclose: 

(3) the charter of the committee; 

(4) the members of the committee; and 

(5) as  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the 
number  of 
the  committee  met 
throughout  the  period  and  the  individual 
attendances  of 
those 
meetings; or

the  members  at 

times 

(b)  if  it  does  not  have  a  nomination  committee, 
disclose that fact and the processes it employs to 
address  board  succession  issues  and  to  ensure 
that  the  board  has  the  appropriate  balance  of 
skills,  knowledge,  experience,  independence  and 
diversity  to  enable  it  to  discharge  its  duties  and 
responsibilities effectively.

Recommendation 2.2 

Complies: YES

A listed entity should have and disclose a board skills 
matrix setting out the mix of skills and diversity that 
the board currently has or is looking to achieve in its 
membership.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Recommendation 2.3 

Complies: YES

A listed entity should disclose:

(a)  the  names  of  the  directors  considered  by  the 

board to be independent directors;

(b) if a director has an interest, position, association 
or relationship of the type described in Box 2.3 but 
the  board  is  of  the  opinion  that  it  does  not 
compromise the independence of the director, the 
nature  of  the  interest,  position,  association  or 
relationship in question and an explanation of why 
the board is of that opinion; and

(c)  the length of service of each director.

Recommendation 2.4 

Complies: NO

A  majority  of  the  board  of  a  listed  entity  should  be 
independent directors.

Recommendation 2.5 

Complies: NO

The chair of the board of a listed entity should be an 
independent director and, in particular, should not be 
the same person as the CEO of the entity.

Recommendation 2.6 

Complies: YES

A  listed  entity  should  have  a  program  for  inducting 
new  directors  and  provide  appropriate  professional 
development  opportunities  for  directors  to  develop 
and  maintain  the  skills  and  knowledge  needed  to 
perform their role as directors effectively.

Nominations Committee

Best  practice  recommendations 
issued  by  ASX 
recommend  a  separate  Nominations  Committee  to 
assist  the  Board  and  report  to  it  on  selection  and 
appointment issues and practices including those for 
senior management and non-executive directors.

Given  the  size  of  the  Group  and  of  the  Board  the 
responsibility for this function rests with the Board.

Composition of the Board

The Board performs its role and function in accordance 
with the following principles:

a)  The Board should comprise at least three and no 

more than 10 directors;

b)  The  Board  must  comprise  of  members  with  a 
broad  range  of  experience,  expertise,  skills  and 
contacts relevant to the Group and its business;

c)  At least half of the Board should be non-executive 
directors independent from management; and

d)  The Chairman of the Board should be one of the 

independent non-executive directors.

The Board is of the view that the current composition 
of the Board is adequate to ensure the best interests 

of  shareholders  given  the  size  and  nature  of  the 
Group’s operations. In addition, the Chairman has the 
deciding vote at any meetings where a vote is initially 
tied.

Independence of Board Members

The Board has adopted the following definition of an 
independent director:

An  independent  director  is  a  director  who  is  not  a 
member  of  management  (a  non-executive  director) 
and who:

a)  is not a substantial shareholder of the Group or an 
officer  of,  or  otherwise  associated,  directly  or 
indirectly,  with  a  substantial  shareholder  of  the 
Group;

b)  has not, within the last three years, been employed 
in  an  executive  capacity  by  the  Company  or 
another  Group  member,  or  been  a  director  after 
ceasing to hold any such employment;

c)  is not a principal of a professional advisor to the 
Company  or  another  Group  member,  or  an 
employee  materially  associated  with  the  service 
provided,  except  in  circumstances  where  the 
advisor  might  be  considered  to  be  independent 
notwithstanding  their  position  as  a  professional 
advisor  due  to  the  fact  that  fees  payable  by  the 
Company  to  the  advisor’s  firm  represent  an 
insignificant component of its overall revenue;

d)  is  not  a  significant  supplier  or  customer  of  the 
Company or another Group member, or an officer 
of  or  otherwise  associated,  directly  or  indirectly, 
with a significant supplier or customer;

e)  has no significant contractual relationship with the 
Company or another Group member other than as 
a director;

f )  is free from any interest and any business or other 
relationship, which could, or could reasonably be 
perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s 
ability to act in the best interests of the Group; and

g)  has  not  served  on  the  Board  for  a  period  which 
could,  or  could  reasonably  be  perceived  to, 
materially interfere with the director’s ability to act 
in the best interests of the Group.

The  Board  regularly  assesses  the  independence  of 
each director in the light of the interests disclosed by 
them. The independence of directors is disclosed in 
the  annual  report.  Where  the  independence  of  a 
director  is  lost,  this  will  be  immediately  disclosed  to 
the market.

The  Board  composition  does  not  comply  with 
recommendation  2.4  and  2.5  of  the  ASX  Corporate 
Governance Guidelines as the majority of directors are 
not independent directors and the Chairman is not an 
independent director as discussed below.

31

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

At 30 June 2020, the Board comprised five members 
including  CL  Baker  (appointed  09/10/2001),  a  non-
(appointed 
executive  Chairman,  APS  Kemp 
25/08/2006), an independent non-executive director, 
RQ  Cole  (appointed  28/02/2017),  an  independent 
non-executive  director),  PP  Gunasekara  (appointed 
01/09/2017),  a  non-executive  director  and  SG  Smith 
(appointed  23/05/16)  who  is  an  executive  director 
(Managing Director).

The  board  comprises  only  two  out  of  five  directors 
who  meet  the  definition  of  independent  directors. 
There are however four non-executive directors. The 
chairman  is  non-executive  but  does  not  meet  the 
definition  of  independent  director.  The  board  is 
satisfied the mix of skills within the board far outweigh 
the benefits of simply complying with the guidelines. 
This position will continue to be monitored over time.

The  Board  has  adopted  the  following  measures  to 
ensure that independent judgement is achieved and 
maintained 
its  decision-making 
processes:

Directors  are  provided  with  access  to  continuing 
education  in  relation  to  the  Group  extending  to  its 
business,  the  industry  in  which  it  operates,  and 
generally  information  required  by  them  to  discharge 
the responsibilities of their office.

Each director has the right to seek independent legal 
or other professional advice at the Group’s expense. 
Prior approval from the Chairman is required but may 
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 » Two members of the Board are independent non-
executive  directors  with  significant  experience  in 
corporate governance;

 » The  majority  of  the  Board  are  non-executive 

directors;

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly

A listed entity should act ethically and responsibly.

Recommendation 3.1 

Complies: YES

item  of  business  must  absent 
themselves  from  the  Board  meeting  before 
commencement of discussion on the topic; and

 » Non-executive  directors  confer  on  a  needs  basis 

without management in attendance.

The  size  and  complexity  of  the  business  does  not 
warrant additional directors at the present time.

Board Skills Matrix

A Board skills matrix has been adopted by the board 
of  PTB  Group  Limited  (PTB)  to  ensure  the  board 
maintains  an  appropriate  mix  of  skills,  knowledge, 
experience,  personal  attributes  and  other  criteria 
appropriate for the governance of the Group. 

The  PTB  Board  is  a  skills-based  board  comprising 
directors  who  collectively  have  the  skills,  knowledge 
and  experience  to  effectively  govern  and  direct  the 
organisation  including  governance  skills,  industry 
skills and personal attributes.

The  Board  skills  matrix  is  reviewed  and  assessed 
annually  as  part  of  the  board  evaluation  process. 
Individual board member skills are updated annually 
as part of the director evaluation process.

executives and employees; and

(b) disclose that code or a summary of it.

Best practice commitment

The Group is committed to achieving and maintaining 
the highest standards of conduct and has undertaken 
various  initiatives  that  are  designed  to  achieve  this 
objective.  The  PTB  Group’s  Corporate  Governance 
Charter is intended to ‘institutionalise’ good corporate 
governance and, generally, to build a culture of best 
practice  both  in  the  Group’s  own  internal  practices 
and in its dealings with others. The Charter is available 
on the Company’s website.

The  following  are  a  tangible  demonstration  of  the 
Group’s corporate governance commitment:

not  be  unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed,  each 
director has the right to seek independent legal and

the  Group’s  operations  or  undertakings  in  order  to

Corporate  Governance  Charter  that  sets  out  the 
principles and standards with which all Group officers

failures  to  comply  with  the  principles  of  ethical  and 
responsible conduct, employing the use of third party 
expertise  where  necessary.  The  appropriate  level  of 
disciplinary  action  is  applied  where  departures  from 
these principles are confirmed.

Internal Audit

The Group currently does not have an internal audit 
function.  Considerable  importance  is  placed  on 
maintaining  a  strong  control  environment  both 
financially and operationally. The audit committee and 
the board continue to monitor the need for an internal 
audit function as the business grows and through the 
independent  expertise  on  the  audit  committee  in 
conjunction with reporting from external auditors and 
industry  certification  audits  which  regularly  evaluate 
the effectiveness of its risk management and internal 
control processes.

Economic, Environmental and Social 
Sustainability Risks

The  Group  is  not  subject  to  any  material  exposure  to 
economic, environmental and social sustainability risks.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and 
responsibly

A  listed  entity  should  pay  director  remuneration 
sufficient  to  attract  and  retain  high  quality  directors 
and  design  its  executive  remuneration  to  attract, 
retain and motivate high quality senior executives and 
to  align  their  interests  with  the  creation  of  value  for 
security holders.

Recommendation 8.1 

Complies: NO

8.1(a)(2) not complied with

The board of a listed entity should:

(a)  have a remuneration committee which: 

(1)  has  at  least  three  members,  a  majority  of 

whom are independent directors; and 

(2) is  chaired  by  an  independent  director,  and 

disclose: 

(3) the charter of the committee; 

(4) the members of the committee; and 

(5) as  at  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the 
the  committee  met 
number  of 
throughout  the  period  and  the  individual 
attendances  of 
those 
meetings; or

the  members  at 

times 

(b) if  it  does  not  have  a  remuneration  committee, 
disclose that fact and the processes it employs for 
setting the level and composition of remuneration 
for  directors  and  senior  executives  and  ensuring 
that  such  remuneration  is  appropriate  and  not

A listed entity which has an equity-based remuneration

use  of  derivatives  or  otherwise)  which  limit  the 
economic risk of participating in the scheme; and

(b) disclose that policy or a summary of it.

Remuneration Committee

The purpose of this Committee is to assist the Board 
and report to it on remuneration and issues relevant 
to  remuneration  policies  and  practices  including 
those  for  senior  management  and  non-executive 
directors. These policies are included in the Group’s 
Corporate  Governance  Charter.  Its  current  members

Kemp.

directors  and  its  composition  does  not  fully  comply 
with the recommendations in 8.1 of the ASX Corporate 
Governance  Guidelines  as  it  is  not  chaired  by  an 
independent  director.  The  Board  believes  this  is 
acceptable given the size of the Group, the nature of 
its  business  and  the  commercial  experience  of  the 
members.

Among  the  functions  performed  by  the  Committee 
are the following:

a)  Review  and  evaluation  of  market  practices  and 

trends on remuneration matters;

b)  Recommendations to the Board in relation to the 
Group’s remuneration policies and procedures;

c)  Oversight  of 

the  performance  of

The  Group’s  polices 
to  non-executive 
directors’  and  executive  directors’  and  senior 
executives’  remuneration  are  set  out  in  the  annual 
report. 

It  is  the  Group’s  objective  to  provide  maximum 
stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high 
quality  Board  and  executive  team  by  remunerating 
directors and key executives fairly.

Equity-Based Remuneration Scheme

The Group does not currently operate an equity-based 
remuneration scheme.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting 
Policies

The  principal  accounting  policies  adopted  in  the 
preparation of the financial report are set out below. 
These  policies  have  been  consistently  applied  to  all 
the  years  presented,  unless  otherwise  stated.  The 
financial report includes the financial statements for 
PTB  Group  Limited  as  the  consolidated  entity 
consisting of PTB Group Limited and its subsidiaries.

(a) Basis of preparation 

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have 
been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations 
Act  2001,  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and 
Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards 
Board and International Financial Reporting Standards 
as issued by the International Accounting Standards 
Board. This Company is a for-profit entity for financial 
reporting  purposes  under  Australian  Accounting 
Standards.  Material  accounting  policies  adopted  in 
the  preparation  of  these  financial  statements  are 
presented below and have been consistently applied 
unless stated otherwise.

Except  for  cash  flow  information,  the  financial 
statements have been prepared on an accruals basis 
and  are  based  on  historical  costs,  modified,  where 
applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of 
selected  non-current  assets,  financial  assets  and 
financial liabilities. 

The  Financial  Statements  were  authorised  by  the 
Board of Directors for issue on 28 August 2020.

Historical cost convention 

These financial statements have been prepared under 
the  historical  cost  convention,  as  modified  by  the 
revaluation  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets, 
financial  assets  and  liabilities  (including  derivative 
instruments)  at  fair  value  through  the  statement  of 
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  and 
certain classes of property, plant and equipment. 

Critical accounting estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting 
estimates. It also requires management to exercise its 
judgement in the process of applying the Company’s 
accounting  policies.  The  areas  involving  a  higher 
degree  of  judgement  or  complexity,  or  areas  where 
assumptions  and  estimates  are  significant  to  the 
financial statements are disclosed in note 1(ad).

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the 
assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of PTB Group 
Limited (“company” or “parent entity”) as at 30 June 
2020  and  the  results  of  all  subsidiaries  for  the  year 
then ended. PTB Group Limited and its subsidiaries 
together are referred to in this financial report as the 
Group or the consolidated entity. 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. For details of the subsidiaries 
refer note 29. 

Subsidiaries  are  fully  consolidated  from  the  date  on 
which  control  is  transferred  to  the  Group.  They  are 
de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The  acquisition  method  of  accounting  is  used  to 
account  for  business  combinations  by  the  Group 
(refer note 1(i)).

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

(c) Segment reporting

Operating  segments  are  reported  in  a  manner 
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the 
chief  operating  decision  maker.  The  chief  operating 
decision  maker,  who  is  responsible  for  allocating 
resources and assessing performance of the operating 
segments,  has  been  identified  as  the  executive 
directors. 

(d) Foreign currency translation   

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of 
the Group’s entities are measured using the currency 
of  the  primary  economic  environment  in  which  the 
entity

instruments  designated  as  hedges  of 
such 
investments, are recognised in other comprehensive

borrowings  forming  part  of  the  net  investment  are 
repaid,  a  proportionate  share  of  such  exchange 
differences are recognised in the statement of profit

For the year ended 30 June 2020

(e) Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is 
measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected 
on behalf of third parties. 

The following table provides further information about the major business activities of the Group, including the 
nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers and the related 
revenue recognition policies of the Group:

Type of product/service Revenue recognition including nature and timing of satisfaction of 

performance obligations and significant payment terms

Sale of goods, including 
turbine engines, aircraft 
and related parts. 

The Group recognises revenue once a customer takes control of the part, engine 
or aircraft.  

For parts sales, this is deemed to occur once the items have been dispatched to 
the customer. While this is also generally the case for engine and aircraft sales, 
there are occasions where customers are deemed to have taken control of these 
goods prior to shipment. In these cases, appropriately completed sales 
documents demonstrate the transfer of control to the customer.

Payment terms will vary depending on the relationship with the customer. These 
can include prepayment and credit terms (usually 30 days).

Repair and overhaul of 
turbine engines and 
related parts.

The services performed can range from minor part repairs to engine overhauls. 
With repairs and overhauls, the Group is enhancing the state of the engine/part, 
however the asset remains under the customer’s control.

Engine maintenance 
contracts.

Revenue is recognised in line with the Group’s satisfaction of performance 
obligations. In many cases, this is at the completion of the job, however for 
larger jobs, revenue is taken up progressively in line with the percentage of 
completion.

Payment terms will vary depending on the relationship with the customer. These 
can include prepayment and credit terms (usually 30 days).

The Group enters into engine maintenance agreements with customers. While 
the detailed terms of each contract vary, they all include the supply of a 
combination of parts, engines and workshop services over the term of the 
agreement. 

The Group invoices customers monthly across the term of the contracts. The 
monthly invoices are usually based on engine utilisation for the prior month and 
are payable on credit terms of up to 30 days.

Revenue recognition is based on the timing of the supply of goods and services 
under these agreements rather the timing of the invoicing. The Group uses the 
same approaches explained above to determine when to recognise revenue for 
parts, engines and workshop services supplied under engine maintenance 
agreements.

Lease, hire or rental of 
aircraft and turbine 
engines. 

Revenue from the lease, hire or rental of engines and aircraft is recognised as 
the services are provided. These may include a combination of fixed monthly 
charges and variable charges based on engine/aircraft utilisation each month. 
These are billed and paid on a monthly basis and can include credit terms of up 
to 30 days.

Provision of finance for 
aircraft and turbine 
engines and related 
Interest income. 

The Group recognises interest revenue in relation to financing arrangements 
provided on aircraft and engines. This interest revenue is recognised by the 
Group on a progressive basis over the term of the contract.

Monthly instalments including interest and principal repayments are paid by the 
customer as per the terms of the finance agreement.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

(f) Unearned revenue

Tax consolidation legislation

Unearned  revenue  includes  amounts  received  in 
advance from customers. Such amounts are recorded 
as revenue in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive  income  when  the  above  revenue 
recognition criteria are met.

(g) Income tax

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

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for 
temporary  differences  at  the  tax  rates  expected  to 
apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are 
settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or 
substantively  enacted  for  each  jurisdiction.  The 
relevant  tax  rates  are  applied  to  the  cumulative 
amounts  of  deductible  and 
temporary 
differences  to  measure  the  deferred  tax  asset  or 
liability.  An  exception  is  made  for  certain  temporary 
differences  arising  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an 
asset or a liability. No deferred tax asset or liability is 
recognised in relation to these temporary differences 
if  they  arose  in  a  transaction,  other  than  a  business 
combination,  that  at  the  time  of  the  transaction  did 
not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or 
loss.

taxable 

Deferred  tax  assets  are  recognised  for  deductible 
temporary differences and unused tax losses 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  controlled 
entities where the parent entity 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.

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 
in  other 
this  case,  the  tax 
comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. 

is  also  recognised 

44

the 

implemented 

PTB  Group  Limited  and  its  wholly-owned  Australian 
tax 
controlled  entities  have 
consolidation  legislation  effective  1  July  2008.  The 
head  entity,  PTB  Group  Limited,  and  the  controlled 
entities in the tax consolidated group account for their 
own  current  and  deferred  tax  amounts.  These  tax 
amounts  are  measured  as  if  each  entity  in  the  tax 
consolidated  group  continues  to  be  a  standalone 
taxpayer in its own right.

In  addition  to  its  own  current  and  deferred  tax 
amounts,  PTB  Group  Limited  also  recognises  the 
current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax 
assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax 
credits  assumed  from  controlled  entities  in  the  tax 
consolidated group. Assets or liabilities arising under 
tax  funding  agreements  with  the  tax  consolidated 
entities are recognised as amounts receivable from, or 
payable to, other entities in the Group.

Any  difference  between  the  amounts  assumed  and 
amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding 
agreement  are  recognised  as  a  contribution  to  (or 
distribution  from)  wholly-owned  tax  consolidated 
entities. PTB Group limited may also require payment 
of 
its 
interim  funding  amounts  to  assist  with 
obligations  to  pay  tax  instalments.  The  funding 
amounts  are  recognised  as  current  intercompany 
receivables or payables. 

(h) Leased assets

As lessor

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are 
recorded as receivables. Finance lease receivables are 
initially  recognised  at  amounts  equal  to  the  net 
investment  in  the  lease.  Finance  lease  payments 
receivable are allocated between interest revenue and 
reduction of the lease receivable over the term of the 
lease  in  order  to  reflect  a  constant  periodic  rate  of 
return on the net investment outstanding in respect 
of the lease.

For operating leases, the leased asset (rental engines 
and aircraft) is classified as a non-current asset and 
depreciated  in  accordance  with  the  depreciation 
policy  set  out  in  note  1(p).  Rental  income  from 
operating leases is recognised as set out in note 1(e).

As lessee

Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods, 
but  may  have  extension  options.  Lease  agreements 
do not impose any covenants other than the security 
interests  in  the  leased  assets  held  by  the  lessor. 
Leased  assets  may  not  be  used  as  security  for 
borrowing purposes.

From 1 July 2019, the Group accounts for leases with 
the  recognition  of  a  right-of-use  (ROU)  asset  and  a 

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

corresponding lease liability at the date of which the 
lease is available for use by the Group. 

recognised  directly  in  profit  and  loss  as  a  bargain 
purchase.  

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

 »

Fixed payments, less any lease incentives available

 » Amounts  expected  to  be  payable  under  residual 

value guarantees

 » Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if 
the lease term reflects the Group exercising that 
option.

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

included 

in 

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

(i) Business combinations

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

liabilities  assumed 

Acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as  incurred. 
liabilities  and 
Identifiable  assets  acquired  and 
contingent 
in  a  business 
combination  are,  with  limited  exceptions,  measured 
initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On 
the  Group 
an  acquisition-by-acquisition  basis, 
recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree 
either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s 
proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable 
assets.

The  excess  of  the  consideration  transferred,  the 
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, 
and  the  acquisition-date  fair  value  of  any  previous 
equity  interest  in  the  acquiree  over  the  fair  value  of 
the  Group’s  share  of  the  net  identifiable  assets 
acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are 
less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of 
the  subsidiary  acquired  and  the  measurement  of  all 
is 
amounts  has  been  reviewed,  the  difference 

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

(j) Impairment of assets

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite 
useful  life  are  not  subject  to  amortisation  and  are 
tested  annually  for  impairment  or  more  frequently  if 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that they 
might  be  impaired.  Other  assets  are  reviewed  for 
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes 
in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may 
not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised 
for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount 
exceeds  its  recoverable  amount.  The  recoverable 
amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs 
to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing 
impairment,  assets  are  grouped  at  the  lowest  levels 
for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows 
(cash generating units).

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

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

liabilities  on 

(l) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at 
fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised 
cost using the effective interest method, less provision 
for 
impairment.  Trade  receivables  are  due  for 
settlement in 30 to 90 days.

Collectability of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing 
basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are 
written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. A 
provision for impairment is recognised in accordance 
with AASB 9: Financial Instruments. Refer to note 1(n) 
for  further  details  on  the  Group’s  financial  asset 
impairment policy. 

The  amount  of  the  provision  is  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income.

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

(m) Inventories

Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods

Inventories  are  stated  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net 
realisable value. Costs are assigned to individual items 
of stock by specific identification. Net realisable value 
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 
business less the estimated costs of completion and 
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories are classified as non-current assets if the 
asset  is  expected  to  be  realised  in  a  period  greater 
than twelve months from balance date.  

(n) Financial instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised 
when the Group becomes a party to the contractual 
provisions of the financial instrument. 

Financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  are  initially 
measured  at  fair  value.  Transaction  costs  that  are 
directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  or  issue  of 
financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  (other  than 
financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from 
the  fair  value  of  the  financial  assets  or  financial 
liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. 

Trade  receivables  that  do  not  contain  a  significant 
financing  component  are  initially  measured  at  the 
transaction price.

Classification and subsequent measurement of 
financial assets

Financial  assets,  other  than  those  designated  and 
effective  as  hedging  instruments,  are  classified  into 
the following categories:

 » Amortised cost

Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)

 »

 »

The Group currently has no financial assets at FVTPL 
or FVOCI. 

Impairment of financial assets

In  relation  to  the  impairment  of  financial  assets,  an 
expected credit loss model is adopted where expected 
credit  losses  and  changes  in  those  expected  credit 
losses  are  accounted  for  at  each  reporting  date  to 
reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition 
of the financial asset. 

The Group measures the loss allowance for a financial 
instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected 
credit losses (ECL) if the credit risk on that financial 
instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial 
recognition. However, if the credit risk on a financial 
instrument has not increased significantly since initial 
recognition,  the  Group  measures  the  loss  allowance 
for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12 
months ECL.

The Group considers a broader range of information 
when  assessing  credit  risk  and  measuring  expected 
credit losses, including past events, current conditions, 
reasonable and supportable forecasts that may affect 
the expected collectability of the future cash flows of 
the instrument. A more detailed analysis is performed 
on the outstanding trade receivables listing as at 30 
June  to  ensure  the  predicted  current  exposure  is 
adequately covered by the calculated ECL. 

Classification and subsequent measurement of 
financial liabilities

The  Group’s  financial  liabilities  include  borrowings, 
trade and other payables. 

Financial  liabilities  are  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method 
except 
liabilities 
for  derivatives  and  financial 
designated at FVTPL, which are carried subsequently 
at  their  fair  value  with  gains  or  losses  recognised  in 
profit or loss. 

Fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income 
(FVOCI)

Derecognition

The  classification  is  determined  by  both  the  entity’s 
business model for managing the financial asset and 
the  contractual  cash  flow  characteristics  of  the 
financial asset. 

the 
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  when 
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial 
asset  expire,  or  when  the  financial  asset  and 
substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. 

Financial  assets  that  meet  the  following  conditions 
are measured subsequently at amortised cost: 

A  financial  liability  is  derecognised  when  it  is 
extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

 »

 »

the financial asset is held within a business model 
whose objective is to hold financial assets in order 
to collect contractual cash flows; and

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

(o) Leasehold improvements

The  cost  of  improvements  to  or  on  leasehold 
properties is amortised over the unexpired period of 
the 
life  of  the 
improvement to the Group, whichever is the shorter.

(p) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes 
expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the  acquisition  of  the  items.  Cost  may  also  include  transfers  from 
equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and 
equipment.

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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited, net of tax, in other 
comprehensive income and to the revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity.  Decreases that reverse previous 
increases of the same asset are first recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining 
surplus attributable to the asset, all other decreases are to profit or loss. 

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is generally calculated on a straight-line (SL) or diminishing 
value (DV) basis so as to allocate the cost, net of residual values, of each item of property, plant and equipment 
(excluding land and rental engines) over its estimated useful life to the Group. For rental engines, depreciation 
is based on the estimated operating hours. The line item in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income in which the depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment is included is ‘depreciation 
and amortisation’.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Certain items of plant and equipment, primarily rental engines, are required to be overhauled on a regular basis. 
This is managed as part of an ongoing major cyclical maintenance program. The costs of this maintenance are 
charged as expenses as incurred, except where they relate to the replacement of a component of an asset, in 
which case the costs are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the above. The carrying amount of the 
replaced part is de-recognised. Other routine operating maintenance, repair and minor renewal costs are also 
charged as expenses as incurred.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount 
is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (note 1 (j)).

Gains  and  losses  on  disposals  are  determined  by  comparing  proceeds  with  the  carrying  amount.  These  are 
included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, it is 
Group  policy  to  transfer  the  amounts  included  in  revaluation  reserves  in  respect  of  those  assets  to  retained 
earnings.

(q) Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net 
identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries 
is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead it is tested for impairment annually or more 
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less

the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount 
of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

another  party  and  the  consideration  paid,  including 
any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, 
is recognised in ‘other income’ or ‘other expense’. 

Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units for 
the  purpose  of  impairment  testing.  The  allocation  is 
made  to  those  cash-generating  units  or  groups  of 
cash-generating  units  that  are  expected  to  benefit 
from the business combination in which the goodwill 
arose,  identified  according  to  operating  segments 
(note 27).

Computer software

Costs incurred in acquiring software and licenses that 
will  contribute  to  future  period  financial  benefits 
through revenue generation and/or cost reduction are 
capitalised to software and systems. Costs capitalised 
include external direct costs of materials and service, 
direct payroll and payroll related costs of employees’ 
time spent on the project.  Computer software has a 
finite life and is carried at cost less any accumulated 
amortisation  and  any  impairment  losses.  Computer 
software is amortised on a straight-line basis over its 
estimated useful life. The line item in the statement of 
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  in 
which  the  amortisation  of  computer  software  is 
included is ‘depreciation and amortisation’ expense.

(r) Trade and other payables

Trade  and  other  payables  are  recognised  initially  at 
fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at  amortised 
cost.

These  amounts  represent  liabilities  for  goods  and 
services provided to the Group prior to the end of the 
financial  year  which  are  unpaid.  The  amounts  are 
unsecured  and  are  usually  paid  within  30  days  of 
recognition.

(s) Borrowings

incurred.  Borrowings 

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of 
transaction 
are 
subsequently  measured  at  amortised  cost.  Any 
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction 
costs)  and  the  redemption  amount  is  recognised  in 
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income  over  the  period  of  the  borrowings  using  the

Borrowings  are  removed  from  the  statement  of 
financial position when the obligation specified in the 
contract  is  discharged,  cancelled  or  expired.  The 
difference between the carrying amount of a financial 
liability  that  has  been  extinguished  or  transferred  to 

48

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless 
the  Group  has  an  unconditional  right  to  defer 
settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after 
the balance date.

(t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any 
qualifying  asset  are  capitalised  during  the  period  of 
time  that  is  required  to  complete  and  prepare  the 
asset  for  its  intended  use  or  sale.  Other  borrowing 
costs are expensed. The amount of borrowing costs 
capitalised  is  determined  as  the  actual  borrowing 
costs incurred as funds are borrowed specifically for 
the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.

(u) Derivatives and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the 
date  a  derivative  contract  is  entered  into  and  are 
subsequently  remeasured  to  their  fair  value  at  each 
reporting  date.  The  accounting  for  subsequent 
changes  in  fair  value  depends  on  whether  the 
derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and 
if so, the nature of the item being hedged. 

The Group designates certain derivatives as either:

 » Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets and 
liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedges);

 » Hedges  of  the  cash  flows  of  recognised  assets 
forecast 
liabilities  and  highly  probable 

and 
transactions (cash flow hedges); or

 » Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation 

(net investment hedges).

the 

At the inception of the hedging transaction the Group 
documents 
relationship  between  hedging 
instruments  and  hedged  items,  as  well  as  its  risk 
management  objective  and  strategy  for  undertaking 
various hedge transactions. The Group also documents 
its  assessment,  both  at  hedge  inception  and  on  an 
ongoing  basis,  of  whether  the  derivatives  that  are 
used  in  hedging  transactions  have  been  and  will 
continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in 
fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified 
as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining 
maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months. 
If  the  remaining  maturity  of  the  hedged  item  is  less 
than  12  months  it  is  classified  as  a  current  asset  or 
liability. Trading derivatives are classified as a current 
asset or liability.

Fair value hedge

Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivatives  that  are 
designated  and  qualify  as  fair  value  hedges  are 

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

recorded in the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income, together with any changes in 
the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are 
attributable  to  the  hedged  risk.  The  gain  or  loss 
relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps 
hedging  fixed  rate  borrowings  is  recognised  in  the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income within ‘finance costs’, together with changes 
in the fair value of the hedged fixed rate borrowings 
attributable  to  interest  rate  risk.  The  gain  or  loss 
relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income within ‘other income’ or ‘other expenses’.

If  the  hedge  no  longer  meets  the  criteria  for  hedge 
accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of 
a hedged item for which the effective interest method 
is used is amortised to the statement of comprehensive 
income over the period to maturity using a recalculated 
effective interest rate.

comprehensive income. When a forecast transaction 
is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or 
loss  that  was  reported  in  equity  is  immediately 
transferred to the statement of profit or loss and other 
comprehensive income.

Net investment hedges

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are 
accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain 
or  loss  on  the  hedging  instrument  relating  to  the 
effective portion of the hedges is recognised in other 
comprehensive income and accumulated reserves in 
equity.  The  gain  or  loss  relating  to  the  ineffective 
portion is recognised immediately in the statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, within 
‘other  income’  or  ‘other  expense’.  Gains  or  losses 
accumulated in equity are included in the statement 
of comprehensive income when the foreign operation 
is partially disposed of or sold.

Cash flow hedge

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting

The  effective  portion  of  changes  in  the  fair  value  of 
derivatives  that  are  designated  and  qualify  as  cash 
flow hedges is recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  and  in  the 
hedging reserve in equity. The gain or loss relating to 
the  ineffective  portion  is  recognised  immediately  in 
the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income within ‘other income’ or ‘other expense’.

Amounts  accumulated  in  equity  are  recycled  in  the 
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income in the periods when the hedged item affects 
profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective 
portion  of  interest  rate  swaps  hedging  variable  rate 
borrowings is recognised in the statement of profit or 
loss and other comprehensive income within ‘finance 
costs’. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion 
of forward foreign exchange contracts hedging export 
sales is recognised in the statement of profit or loss 
and other comprehensive income within ‘sales’. 

However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged 
results in the recognition of a non-financial asset the 
gains  and  losses  previously  deferred  in  equity  are 
transferred  from  equity  and  included  in  the  initial 
measurement  of  the  cost  of  the  asset. The  deferred 
amounts are ultimately recognised in the statement of 
profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  as 
costs  of  goods  sold  in  the  case  of  inventory,  or  as 
depreciation  in  the  case  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment.

When  a  hedging  instrument  expires  or  is  sold  or 
terminated,  or  when  a  hedge  no  longer  meets  the 
criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or 
loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity 
and  is  recognised  when  the  forecast  transaction  is

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge 
accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative 
instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting 
are recognised immediately in the statement of profit 
or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income  and  are 
included in ‘other income’ or ‘other expenses’.

(v) Employee benefits

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities  for  wages  and  salaries,  including  non-
monetary  benefits,  annual  leave  and  accumulating 
sick leave expected to be settled within 12 months of 
the  reporting  date  are  recognised  in  the  employee 
benefits  provision  in  respect  of  employees’  services 
up  to  the  reporting  date  and  are  measured  at  the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are 
settled. The liability for annual leave and accumulating 
sick leave is recognised in the provision for employee 
benefits.  All  other  short-term  employee  benefit 
obligations are presented as payables.

Long service leave

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the 
employee  benefits  provision  and  measured  as  the 
present  value  of  expected  future  payments  to  be 
made in respect of services provided by employees up 
to  the  reporting  date.  Consideration  is  given  to 
expected future wage and salary levels, experience of 
employee departures and periods of service. Expected 
future  payments  are  discounted  using  market  yields 
at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms 
to  maturity  and  currency  that  match,  as  closely  as 
possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

Superannuation

Profit sharing and bonus plans

The Group makes contributions to defined contribution 
superannuation  funds.  Contributions  are  recognised 
as  an  expense  as  they  become  payable.  Prepaid 
contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent 
that  a  cash  refund  or  a  reduction  in  the  future 
payments is available. 

Termination benefits 

for  restructuring  pursuant 

When applicable, the Group recognises a liability and 
expense for termination benefits at the earlier of; (a) 
the date when the Group can no longer withdraw the 
offer for termination benefits; and (b) when the Group 
recognises  costs 
to 
AASB137:  Provisions,  Contingent  Liabilities  and 
Contingent Assets and the costs include termination 
benefits.  In  either  case,  unless  the  number  of 
employees  affected  is  known,  the  obligation  for 
termination benefits is measured on the basis of the 
number  of  employees  expected  to  be  affected. 
Termination benefits that are expected to be settled 
wholly  before  12  months  after  the  annual  reporting 
period  in  which  the  benefits  are  recognised  at  the 
(undiscounted)  amounts  expected  to  be  paid.  All 
other  termination  benefits  are  accounted  for  on  the 
same basis as other long-term employee benefits. 

Share-based payments

Share  based  compensation  benefits  are  provided  to 
employees  via  the  PTB  Group  Limited  Employee 
Share Option Scheme as detailed in note 23.

The fair value of options granted under the PTB Group 
Limited Employee Share Option Scheme is recognised 
as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding 
increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant 
date and recognised over the period during which the 
employees  become  unconditionally  entitled  to  the 
options.

The  fair  value  at  grant  date  is  determined  using  a 
Binomial option pricing model that takes into account 
the  exercise  price,  the  term  of  the  option,  the  share 
price at grant date and expected price volatility of the 
underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the 
risk free interest rate for the term of the option.

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

The Group recognises a provision where contractually 
obliged  or  where  there  is  a  past  practice  that  has 
created  a  constructive  obligation.  Bonus  payments 
are discretionary and subject to Board approval.

(w) Provisions

Provisions  for  service  warranties  and  make  good 
obligations  are  recognised  when  the  Group  has  a 
present legal or constructive obligation as a result of 
past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources 
will be required to settle the obligation and the amount 
has been reliably estimated.

Provisions  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of 
management’s  best  estimate  of  the  expenditure 
required  to  settle  the  present  obligation  at  the 
reporting  date. The  discount  rate  used  to  determine 
the present value reflects current market assessments 
of  the  time  value  of  money  and  the  risks  specific  to 
the liability. 

(x) Contributed equity

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 proceeds. 

(y) Dividends

Provision  is  made  for  the  amount  of  any  dividend 
declared,  being  appropriately  authorised  and  no 
longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the 
end of the year but not distributed at balance date.

(z) Earnings per share 

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the 
profit  attributable  to  equity  holders  of  the  company, 
excluding  any  costs  of  servicing  equity  other  than 
ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted 
for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during 
the 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 that would have been outstanding 
assuming  the  conversion  of  all  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares.

(aa) Goods and services tax

Long Service Leave (LSL)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of 
the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

 » Where  the  amount  of  GST  incurred  is  not 
recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority,  it  is 
recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an 
asset or as part of an item of expense; 

 »

For receivables and payables which are recognised 
inclusive  of  GST.  The  net  amounts  of  GST 
recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation 
authority  is  included  as  part  of  receivables  or 
payables; or

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

(ab) Rounding of amounts

The  company  is  of  a  kind  referred  to  in  legislative 
instrument 2016/191 relating to the “rounding off” of 
amounts in the financial statements. Amounts in the 
financial  statements  have  been  rounded  off  in 
accordance  with  that  legislative  instrument  to  the 
nearest  thousand  dollars,  or  in  certain  cases,  the 
nearest dollar.

(ad)  Critical accounting estimates and 

judgements

The  Group  evaluates  estimates  and  judgements 
incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on 
historical  knowledge  and  best  available  current 
information.  Estimates 
reasonable 
expectation of future events and are based on current 
trends  and  economic  data,  obtained  both  externally 
and  within 
the  company.  Key  estimates  and 
judgements impacting the financial statements are as 
follows:

a 

Impairment of goodwill

The  Group  tests  six  monthly  whether  goodwill  has 
suffered  any  impairment  in  accordance  with  the 
accounting policy stated in note 1(j). The recoverable 
amounts  of  cash-generating  units  have  been 
determined based on value-in-use calculations. These 
calculations require the use of assumptions. Refer to 
note  11  for  details  of  these  assumptions  and  the 
potential impact of changes to the assumptions. 

The Group estimates the pattern of LSL taken based 
on  history  and  utilises  management’s  judgement  in 
determining the cash flow estimates of payments of 
LSL.  These  estimates  are  then  utilised  to  determine 
the  NPV  of  these  expected  LSL  payments  and  the 
adequacy of the provision.

Hire Purchase Receivables

Management  applies  judgement  in  assessing  the 
recoverability  of  its  hire  purchase  receivables.  The 
Group assesses both the current payment performance 
and  operational  knowledge  of  the  debtor’s  business 
operation as the Group is in regular contact with the 
debtor.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The allowance for expected credit losses assessment 
requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is 
based  on  the  lifetime  expected  credit  loss,  grouped 
based  on  days  overdue,  and  makes  assumptions  to 
allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each 
group.  These  assumptions  include  recent  sales 
experience and historical collection rates.

Provision for impairment of inventories.

for 

impairment  of 

inventories 
The  provision 
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  inventories  and  other  factors  that  affect 
inventory obsolescence.

Estimation of useful lives of assets

The Group determines the estimated useful lives and 
related depreciation and amortisation charges for its 
plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. 
The useful lives could change significantly as a result 
of  technical  innovations  or  some  other  event.  The 
depreciation  and  amortisation  charge  will  increase 
where  the  useful  lives  are  less  than  previously 
estimated  lives,  or  technically  obsolete  or  non-
strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will 
be written off or written down as the Group considers 
this to be a better estimation of likely useful life.

Business combinations

Business combinations are initially accounted for on a 
provisional  basis.  The  fair  value  of  assets  acquired, 
liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  are

(ae) Fair value of assets and liabilities 

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities 
at  fair  value  on  either  a  recurring  or  non-recurring 
basis,  depending  on 
the 
applicable Accounting Standard. 

the  requirements  of 

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell 
an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in 
an  orderly  (i.e.  unforced) 
transaction  between 
independent,  knowledgeable  and  willing  market 
participants at the measurement date. 

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest 
equivalent  observable  market  pricing  information  is 
used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market 
values  may  be  made  having 
the 
characteristics of the specific 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  the 
observable market data. 

regard 

to 

To  the  extent  possible,  the  market  information  is 
extracted  from  either  the  principal  market  for  the 
asset  or  liability  (i.e.  the  market  with  the  greatest 
volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, 
in  the  absence  of  such  a  market,  the  most 
advantageous market available to the entity at the end 
of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises 
the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises 
the  payments  made  to  transfer  the  liability,  after 
taking  into  account  transaction  costs  and  transport 
costs). 

For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement 
also takes into account a market participant’s ability 
to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it 
to another market participant that would use the asset 
in its highest and best use. 

The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity 
instruments (excluding those related to share-based 
payment arrangements) may be valued, where there 
is no observable market price in relation to the transfer 
to 
of  such  financial 
observable  market

instruments are held as assets. Where this information

(af) Changes in significant accounting policies 

AASB  16  Leases:  The  Group  has  adopted  AASB  16 
Leases  from  1  July  2019.  The  standard  replaces 
existing  accounting  requirements  under  AASB  117 
Leases  and  eliminates  the  classification  between 
operating  and  finance  leases,  introducing  a  single 
lessee accounting model. 

52

Previously,  leases  were  classified  based  on  their 
nature  as  either  finance  leases  or  operating  leases. 
Finance  leases  were  recognised  in  the  Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position and operating leases 
were recognised on a straight-line basis over the term 
of the lease. 

Under AASB 16, the Group’s accounting for operating 
leases as a lessee will now result in the recognition of 
a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease 
liability, with the exception of short term leases under 
12 months and where the underlying ROU asset is of 
a  low  value.  The  lease  liability  will  represent  the 
present value of future lease payments. There will be 
a separate recognition of the depreciation charge on 
the  ROU  asset  and  interest  expense  on  the  lease 
liability.

The  Group  adopted  AASB  16  using  the  modified 
retrospective method of adoption. The reclassifications 
and  adjustments  arising  from  the  new  leasing 
standard  are  therefore  recognised  in  the  opening 
statement of financial position on 1 July 2019. As the 
Group  adopted 
there  was  no 
this  approach, 
restatement of previous financial statements required. 
When applying this modified approach, the Group has 
elected  to  apply  practical  expedients  allowed  under 
the  standard,  including  the  use  of  hindsight  in 
determining  the  lease  term  where  the  contract 
contains options to extend the lease. The group has 
also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or 
contains  a  lease  at  the  date  of  initial  application. 
Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition 
date the group relied on its assessment made applying 
AASB 117.

On adoption of AASB 16, the Group recognised lease 
liabilities  in  relation  to  leases  which  had  previously 
been  classified  as  operating  leases  under  AASB  117 
Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present 
value  of  the  remaining  lease  payments,  discounted 
using  the  incremental  borrowing  rate  at  date  of 
transition.

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

 » Right-of-use assets – increase $179,000

 » Borrowings – increase $179,000

There was no impact to retained earnings.

The  Group  has  recognised  a  charge  of  $470,000  in 
relation to depreciation of right-of-use assets (note 9), 
and  additional  finance  costs  of  $80,000  due  to 
interest expense on the lease liability.

The Group did not need to make any adjustments to 
the  accounting  for  assets  held  as  lessor  under 
operating leases as a result of the adoption of AASB 
16.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

(ag)  New accounting standards and interpretations

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

2. Revenue

The  Group  generates  revenue  primarily  from  the  sale  of  goods  (turbine  engines,  aircraft  and  related  parts), 
provision  of  services  (repair  services  and  maintenance),  rental  of  engines/aircraft  and  interest  income  from 
financing  arrangements  on  the  same.  Other  sources  of  revenue  include  other  interest  income  and  freight 
collected.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Extended credit receivables

Extended  credit  receivables  represent  amounts  owed  by  customers  for  engines  and  aircraft  sold  to  those 
customers. The amounts owed by customers are secured under hire purchase agreements between the Group 
and the customer. The amounts are repayable by the customers by monthly instalments of principal and fixed 
interest over periods of 1 to 5 years. Furthermore, the agreements do not include any contingent rentals. The 
receivables are secured as the rights to the engine and/or aircraft revert to the Group in event of default. The 
engines and aircraft are maintained and insured by the customers and at the end of the term of the agreement 
are expected to be retained by the customers. 

Payments in relation to the extended credit receivables are 
receivable as follows:

Leases

Lessor rental arrangements – aircraft and engines

The Group rents aircraft and engines under two general arrangements:

 » Contingent rentals - rented to customers under agreements with rentals payable monthly and no fixed term. 
As such, the agreements are cancellable. The rent is calculated on the basis of an hourly rate and hours of 
usage. There are no minimum hours of usage or minimum lease payments set out in the relevant agreements. 
As  such,  in  accordance  with  AASB  16  “Leases”  the  rental  income  comprises  of  contingent  rentals  not 
minimum lease payments. Accordingly, there are no fixed lease commitments receivable; and

 » Set or minimum rentals - the operating leases relate to aircraft and/or engines leased to third parties with 
lease  terms  of  between  3-7  years. The  monthly  rental  payments  are  either  set  or  per  hour  of  usage  with 
minimum hours per annum. In addition, a contingent rental may be receivable based upon hours of usage. 
The lessee may have an option to purchase the aircraft/engine at the expiry of the lease period. However, the 
final purchase price is determined on a case by case basis in negotiation between the Group and the lessee.

Minimum lease payments in relation to aircraft and engine operating leases are receivable as follows:

No later than one year

Later than one year but not later than five years

Non-current assets pledged as security

Refer note 13 for information on non-current assets pledged as security.

A deferred tax asset of $3.644 million (2019: $1.618 million) has been recognised at 30 June 2020. This includes 
$0.398 million attributable to prior years’ income tax losses carried forward (2019: $0.530 million) as based on 
management forecast of expected future taxable profits and the reversal of the temporary differences, it was 
considered probable that these deferred tax assets would be recovered in the future.

Goodwill is allocated to the IAP operations as a single cash-generating unit (CGU) which is included in the IAP 
business segment, and to Prime Turbines following the acquisition (see note 20) as a single cash-generating unit 
included in the PT USA business segment. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value in 
use  calculations.  These  calculations  use  cash  flow  projections  based  on  financial  budgets  approved  by 
management covering a five-year period and include a terminal value adjusted for the perpetual growth rate.

Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations

IAP:

The  calculations  utilise  a  pre-tax  risk  adjusted  discount  rate  of  12.7%  (2019:  13.4%)  based  on  the  Group’s 
weighted average cost of capital of 8.9% (2019: 9.4%). A perpetual growth rate beyond the forecast period of 3% 
(2019:  3%)  has  been  used.  Management  determined  budgeted  cash  flows  based  on  past  performance  and 
directors’ best estimates over a five-year period. 

Prime Turbines:

The calculations utilise a pre-tax risk adjusted discount rate of 12.7% (2019: n/a) based on the Group’s weighted 
average cost of capital of 8.9% (2019: 9.4%). A perpetual growth rate beyond the forecast period of 3% (2019: 
n/a) has been used. Management determined budgeted cash flows based on past performance and directors’ 
best estimates over a five-year period. 

Impact of possible changes in key assumptions

The directors consider that there are no reasonably possible changes in key assumptions, which management 
has based its determination of recoverable amounts, which would cause the carrying amount of the CGU’s to 
exceed their recoverable amounts.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

(a) Remediation Provisions

Provision was made for the estimated expenditure required to restore the leasehold premises to an acceptable 
standard at the end of the lease term. This lease was terminated during the 2019 year and a payment was made 
as full and final settlement of the Group’s obligations under the lease.

(b) Warranty Provisions

General provision was made for potential future claims against work carried out to 30 June 2020.

(c) Amounts not expected to be settled within the next 12 months

The current provision for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave, vesting sick leave and long service 
leave.  For  long  service  leave  it  covers  all  unconditional  entitlements  where  employees  have  completed  the 
required  period  of  service  and  also  those  where  employees  are  entitled  to  pro-rata  payments  in  certain 
circumstances. All of these amounts 2020: $349,000 (2019: $314,000) are presented as current, since the Group 
does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past 
experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment 
within the next 12 months.

For the year ended 30 June 2020

Effective 1 July 1998, the Corporations legislation in place abolished the concepts of authorised capital and par 
value  shares.  Accordingly,  the  parent  does  not  have  authorised  capital  nor  par  value  in  respect  of  its  issued 
shares. All shares rank equally with regards to the Company’s residual assets. The holders of ordinary shares are 
entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company.

The purpose of the rights issue and share placements were to fund the acquisition of Prime Turbines, LLC (see 
note 20), plus associated costs and additional working capital.

Note that the Group received net funds of $977,500 on 29 June 2018, which was in advance of the placement of 
1,851,852 shares on 2 July 2018. These proceeds were recorded in the 2018 accounts under payables.

Options

As at balance date there are no outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares in the parent entity. All options 
previously outstanding expired without being exercised in the year ended 30 June 2011.

An employee share option scheme was approved by shareholders on 3 June 2005. Refer to note 23 for details.

Capital Risk Management

The Group’s and the parent entity’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue 
as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns to shareholders, benefits to other stakeholders, 
and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group defines capital as its equity 
and net debt. There has been no change to capital risk management policies during the year. 

In  order  to  maintain  or  adjust  the  capital  structure,  the  Group  may  adjust  the  amount  of  dividends  paid  to 
shareholders,  return  capital  to  shareholders,  issue  new  shares  or  sell  assets  to  reduce  debt.  The  Board  of 
Directors  monitors  the  return  on  capital,  which  the  Group  defines  as  net  profit  after  tax  divided  by  average 
shareholders’ equity.

On 26 February 2020, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Prime Turbines LLC, an established

contributed revenues of $48.086 million to the Group.

Acquisition costs of $0.949 million that were not attributable to the issue of shares are included within expenses 
in  the  statement  of  profit  and  loss  and  as  part  of  the  payments  relating  to  acquisition  of  subsidiary  in  the

committee at the time of issue. Options under the plan may not exceed 5% of the total number of issued shares 
of the company at the date of issue.

disabled, or is made redundant during the exercise period special rules apply that allow options to be exercised.

Options granted under the scheme carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercisable, each option is convertible 
into one ordinary share for cash. Amounts received on the exercise of options are recognised as share capital. 

There were no options granted or exercised during the financial year and no options were outstanding at the

(c) Capital commitments

26. Financial Risk Management and Other Financial Instrument Disclosures

Financial Risk Management

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price 
risk,  and  cash  flow  and  fair  value  interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk,  and  liquidity  risk.  The  Group’s  overall  risk 
management  program  focuses  on  the  unpredictability  of  financial  markets  and  seeks  to  minimise  potential 
adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management 
identifies, evaluates and addresses financial risks and uses different methods to measure different types of risk 
to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange 
and other price risks, and ageing analysis for credit risk. The Board provides principles for overall risk management, 
as well as policies covering specific areas, such as mitigating foreign exchange, interest rate and credit risks, use 
of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign  exchange  risk  arises  when  future  commercial  transactions  and  recognised  assets  and  liabilities  are 
denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.

The  Group  operates  internationally  and  is  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  primarily  arising  from  sale  and 
purchase transactions denominated in US dollars. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow 
forecasting.

Where derivatives are used they are exclusively used for hedging purposes to minimise foreign exchange risk on 
relevant  transactions  and  the  Group  does  not  speculate  on  foreign  currency.  The  Group  manages  this  risk 
through matching, to the extent possible, of US dollar denominated receivables and payables. The Group holds 
a  fair  value  foreign  exchange  hedge  for  JPY193.7  million  maturing  October  2021.  All  transactions  which  are 
exposed to foreign exchange risk are authorised by senior management.

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the reporting date was as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

Trade and other receivables

Inventories

Other assets

Property, plant and equipment

Trade and other payables

Borrowings

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

Group sensitivity

Based on the financial instruments held at 30 June 2020, had the Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 
10% against the USD dollar, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s post tax position for the year 
would  have  been  $2,380,000  higher/$1,947,000  lower  (2019:  $574,000  higher/$470,000  lower),  mainly  as  a 
result of foreign exchange gains and losses on translation of US dollar denominated financial instruments as 
detailed in the above table.

Equity would have been $2,380,000 higher/$1,947,000 lower (2019: $574,000 higher/$470,000 lower) had the 
Australian dollar weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar due to the reasons noted above. 

It is worth noting that the company undertakes the majority of its sales and purchases in US dollars. Therefore, 
the majority of profit is generated in US dollars, with the reported AUD profit positively impacted by any weakening 
of the Australian dollar.

As per above, the Group’s exposure to other foreign exchange movements is not material.

(ii) Price Risk

The Group is not directly exposed to material equity securities price risk or commodity price risk.

(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk 

The Group has significant interest-bearing liabilities, as detailed below. The majority of these liabilities bear fixed 
interest rates. The fair value interest rate risk is not hedged. However, as noted above, the fixed interest rate bank 
loans  are  generally  used  to  fund  extended  credit  receivables.  Loans  from  financial  institutions  are  used  to 
purchase and refurbish aviation assets. Although the fair value interest rate risk is not hedged, where possible 
the loans are matched against receivables in currencies that match the interest rate risk. 

Variable rate debt (primarily the Australian dollar denominated bank loans) is also not hedged.

There are no other interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities.

Group sensitivity

As the majority of the interest rates are fixed, at 30 June 2020 if interest rates had changed by -/+100 basis points 
from year-end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit and equity for the year would not be 
materially impacted (2019: immaterial).

Net Fair Values

The net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying values.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group does not normally use derivative financial instruments except as noted above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

(b) Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties.

The main credit risk arises from receivables balances. These balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with 
the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not considered significant by the directors. Management 
review the credit rating of each customer, taking into account any previous trading history with the Group, its 
financial position, and external credit reports where appropriate. Individual risk limits are set based on internal 
ratings and compliance is regularly monitored by management.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to 
recognised  financial  assets,  is  the  carrying  amount,  net  of  any  provisions  for  impairment  of  those  assets,  as 
disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

The  Group  does  not  have  any  material  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  debtor  or  group  of  debtors  under 
financial instruments at balance date except as follows:

 » The Group’s customers are involved in the airline passenger and freight operation industries;

 » There are a number of individually significant receivables. For example, at 30 June 2020 the largest 10 debtors 
made up approximately 65% (2019: 73%) of total receivables. The largest debtor is a long-term customer in 
the Maldives and includes trade receivables and maintenance contract receivables. This customer accounts 
for 33% (2019: 32%) of total receivables. 

 » The receivables are concentrated in six main geographical areas. Refer to note 27 for further information.

At balance date, cash was held with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Chase Bank and Citizen’s Bank.

77

PTB GROUP LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES | ANNUAL REPORT 2020NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2020

(c) Liquidity risk 

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an 
adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring 
forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. 

The  Group  also  ensures  that  adequate  unutilised  borrowing  facilities  and  cash  reserves  are  maintained.  The 
Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank 
overdrafts, bank loans, unsecured notes, finance leases and finance company loans.

Other segment information

(i) Segment revenue

Sales between segments are carried out at cost and are eliminated on consolidation. The revenue from external 
parties reported to the Board is measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement.

Revenues from external customers of PTB and PT USA are derived from repairing, selling, and maintaining PT6, 
T53 and TPE331 turbo prop aircraft engines under contract and trading in related engine and airframe parts. For 
IAP, revenue is derived from trading in aircraft, jet aircraft engines, airframes and related parts. PT Leasing’s 
revenue is interest income from finance leases and revenue from operating leases and sale of aircraft.

A breakdown of revenue and results is provided in the preceding tables.

The  Group  is  predominantly  domiciled  in  Australia.  The  amount  of  its  revenue  from  external  customers  in 
Australia is $13.377 million (2019: $9.207 million) and the total revenue from external customers in other countries 
is $64.767 million (2019: $42.274 million). Segment revenues are allocated based on the country in which the 
customer is located.

(ii) Adjusted EBITDA

The Board assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of adjusted EBITDA. 

This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring expenditure from the operating segments such 
as unrealised gains / (losses) on foreign currency movements and impairments of aircraft, inventory and extended 
credit receivables. Interest income and interest income on long term HP receivables is allocated to segments 
whereas finance costs and depreciation and amortisation expenses are not allocated to segments.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to operating profit before income tax is provided as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA

Unrealised gain/(loss) on foreign currency

Depreciation and amortisation

Finance costs

Profit/(Loss) before income tax from continuing operations

For the year ended 30 June 2020

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT – TO THE MEMBERS OF PTB GROUP LIMITED  

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the accompanying financial report of PTB Group Ltd and controlled entities (the 
Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the 
consolidated  statement  of  profit  or  loss  and  other  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated 
statement  of  changes  in  equity,  and  the  consolidated  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then 
ended  and  notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting 
policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

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

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

financial performance for the year then ended; and  

(b)    complying  with  Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  the  Corporations  Regulations 

2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Australian  Auditing  Standards.  Our  responsibilities 
under  those  standards  are  further  described  in  the  Auditor’s  Responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the 
financial  report  section  of  our  report.  We  are  independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the 
auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of 
the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional 
Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial  report  in  Australia.  We  have  also  fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in  accordance 
with the Code.  

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

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

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance 
in our audit of the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020. These matters were addressed 
in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, 
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The  Business  combination  is  considered  a  key

involved  in  the  recognition  and  measurement  of 
identifiable assets and liabilities at their fair value.

the 
acquisition  of  Prime  Turbines  LLC  in  2020  and

Information Other Than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon   

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 2020 but does not include the 
financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
For the year ended 30 June 2020

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.  

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

Directors’ Responsibility 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 have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

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

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

• 

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

•  Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit 
procedures  that  are  appropriate  in  the  circumstances,  but  not  for  the  purpose  of 
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls.  

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

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude  on  the  appropriateness  of  the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of 
accounting  and,  based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty 
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability 
to continue as a going concern.  If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are 
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial

report  or,  if  such  disclosures  are  inadequate,  to  modify  our  opinion.    Our  conclusions  are 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained  up  to  the  date  of  our  auditor’s  report.  However, 
future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. 

•

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

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

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

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

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

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We  have  audited  the  remuneration  report  included  in  pages  18  to  24  of  the  directors’  report  for 
the year ended 30 June 2020. 

In  our  opinion  the  remuneration  report  of  PTB  Group  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2020 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

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