CHAIRMAN’S OVERVIEW

Dear Shareholder,

O P E R AT I O N S   O V E R V I E W

On  behalf  of  the  board  I  am  pleased  to  report  a  profit  before  tax  and  relocation  costs  of  $50k  compared  with  a 
corresponding loss before tax of $90k for the previous financial year. This reflects the ongoing sustainable business 
transformation and maintains a base platform to re-grow the business, having established a new headquarters during 
the year.

Revenue from ongoing product sales, royalties and rentals was up 18% or $2.5 million signifying the positive efforts of 
our sales force to provide value-add service offerings to our existing and new customers in what is still an exceedingly 
competitive  market  environment.  Whilst  there  has  been  minimal  changes  in  overall  margins  due  to  the  highly 
competitive nature of the markets we operate in, our ability to deliver quality products and value-added solutions has 
allowed us to increase our market share in certain sectors. We have maintained a tight focus on cost rationalisation 
over the financial year but also selectively invested in areas which will provide greater longer term returns for the 
Company through improving factory efficiency and productivity and also establishing international markets. This has 
all led to the marginal improvement in overall profitability.

Finance cost reductions of 53% or $0.23 million resulted from the previous year’s significant debt reduction by means 
of the rights issue and core bank debt reduced by a further $0.5 million (or 17%) to $2.5 million at 30 June 2016. We 
now have a more acceptable gearing ratio (net debt to net debt plus equity) which reduced from 26.1% at June 2015 
to 24.4% as at 30 June 2016.

We  generated  over  $1.0  million  in  operating  cash  flows  during  the  year,  maintaining  adequate  cash  reserves  to 
support the current working capital needs of the business as well as providing basic funding for our product innovation 
projects which totalled $0.26 million for the year.

S T R AT E G I C   O P P O R T U N I T I E S
Having maintained an underlying positive earnings base in 2016, our main priority remains the growth in sales and profit. 
Each of our product portfolios have key budget targets in their respective market sectors and a number of initiatives are 
in play to continue the momentum achieved in the past financial year.

One of these initiatives relates to the increasing focus and use of alternative renewable energy sources by some of our 
customers which has led us to introduce new product offerings such as solar public lighting solutions and portable solar 
powered light towers for work zones.

Road infrastructure spending continues to grow, particularly on the eastern seaboard where there are major projects up 
the east coast of the country that we are participating in. Our temporary barrier portfolio in particular has positioned itself 
to take advantage of major road works along the Pacific Highway.

We  are  very  pleased  with  the  growth  of  our  Public  Lighting  business,  particularly  its  focus  on  the  abovementioned 
renewable energy (solar) lighting solutions. We retain a strong market share in Victoria with urban and residential street 
lighting needs and have diversified into car park lighting as well.

As a result of our CEO, Mr Darren Hotchkin’s secondments to the USA during the financial year, we secured our first 
international distribution agreement which realised an initial $0.36 million in royalties and an order worth around $0.3 
million that is currently in progress and will be delivered within the next two months.

This is our initial step into the International arena and through the contacts that have been established in this region, we 
anticipate further developments in this space over the coming year.

We remain focussed on product development and innovation and will continue to bring to market products with both 
domestic and international sales potential. We’ve had encouraging initial sales of our flexible road-sign to numerous 
local government authorities. The introduction of our temporary work zone rumble-strip to various State road authorities 
and road contractors has reaped positive feedback from trial sites that this product has demonstrably delivered a real 
reduction in traffic speeds in designated road work zones.

A C K N O W L E D G M E N T S
I would like to acknowledge the ongoing efforts and dedication of our staff who have not only had to work on continuing 
to grow this business, but also had to plan and coordinate their activities around an office and warehouse relocation in 
the first half of the financial year which now enables the Company to better service its growing customer base through 
improved operational efficiencies.

I also wish to acknowledge the significant dedication and contribution from my fellow directors and senior management 
team over the past year. Their expertise, clear thinking, industry insight and hard work has contributed to our ability 
to execute the continued business transformation in what is still a difficult trading environment.

We are especially grateful to the CEO for his secondments to the United States during the year in building a greater 
understanding and creating opportunities for that market and promoting our products to interested overseas parties. 
This is an untapped market space for us and we anticipate further significant growth in the coming years.

Finally, I sincerely thank all our shareholders for their ongoing patience and continued support. Our primary focus 
remains on substantially improving the financial performance and sustainability of your company.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REVIEW 
OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

P E R F O R M A N C E   D U R I N G   2 0 1 5   -   2 0 1 6
I am very pleased to report that the Company has achieved another positive EBIT for the past financial year, which 
included a relocation of our headquarters to outer metropolitan Melbourne.

The Company generated annual operating revenues of $16.3 million (FY2015: $15.2 million) and an EBIT before 
relocation costs of $0.3 million (FY2015: $0.4 million). The past financial year was about continuing the momentum 
in  building  sales  in  our  four  key  product  sectors  –  permanent  roadside  products,  temporary  work  zone  products, 
public lighting solutions and work zone rentals. I’m pleased to report that we made significant inroads in all areas 
by way of sales growth, production efficiency and/or market rationalisation as we continue to adapt our business to 
ever-changing customer requirements. Our differentiator is that we are not just seen as a product supply business, 
but as a valued advisor to those customers seeking solutions to sometimes quite complex logistical situations. It’s our 
in-depth industry knowledge and experience and our broad network of industry players that position us to be one of 
the premium providers of road safety solutions for any temporary or permanent purpose.

Whilst operating revenue increased 7%, this did not all convert to the bottom line as we invested in three key areas 
of rationalisation and future growth potential.

Firstly, we made the decision to relocate to a new purpose-built facility closer to metropolitan Melbourne. The reasons 
for this were threefold – it would allow us to consolidate from two production sites to one; it would reduce freight and 
travel costs; and provide access to a broader supply chain base and employee talent pool for recruitment needs. 
The overall relocation investment was $0.5 million, with $0.2 million expensed as relocation costs and a further $0.3 
million of fitout, plant and equipment capitalised and financed.

Secondly, we instigated a strategy of exploring overseas market opportunities and initially targeted North America. 
During  two  secondments  to  the  West  Coast  of  USA,  we  signed  up  one  major  international  road  safety  hardware 
company  to  distribute  our  IronmanTM  barrier  products,  realising  an  initial  royalty  of  $0.3  million  and  an  additional 
sublicence arrangement for a region in the People’s Republic of China.

Thirdly, we have recruited a senior production manager to further improve factory efficiency, productivity and cost 
savings. This initiative has already realised some savings through rationalising our supplier base, and improving lead 
times in delivering orders to customers.

Our roadside products portfolio reported annual revenue growth of 10% with improved results in our rubber traffic 
calming  product  range  and  the  introduction  of  our  new  flexible  signage  offering.  In  addition,  we  secured  positive 
feedback on initial sales and trials of our portable rumble strip product – Roadquake – and anticipate formal State 
road authority approvals and supporting specifications in the coming months.

Our temporary work zone products portfolio achieved annual revenue growth of 4%, with significant contracts for 
our exclusively licensed concrete barrier solution, the T-LOK barrier. We also had increased sales with our variable 
messaging sign (“VMS”) trailers and we have now launched our proprietary VMS web-based management platform 
– Zone2.

Our IronmanTM Hybrid barrier rental portfolio suffered from market pressures as the major competitors reduced rental 
rates significantly to boost utilisation. However, utilisation rates improved towards the end of the financial year as we 
targeted niche second-tier road contractors requiring a more flexible barrier offering and deployment solution whereby 
the contractor could rely on our expertise for their work zone barrier needs. This has seen a dramatic improvement 
in our overall rental rates and utilisation with us achieving record monthly rental income from this product portfolio in 
the first month of this financial year.

Our Public Lighting solutions portfolio maintained the previous year’s momentum and grew another 39% in 2016 on the 
back of established customer relationships and introducing new customers to our market leading supply and delivery 
service. In addition, we introduced a new solar lighting solution, targeted at the local government market in addressing 
issues associated with providing more secure public spaces in a more environmentally friendly way. We have partnered 
with a major international solar lighting provider to provide this unique offering which is gaining traction.

6

We continued our focus on innovative product research and development during the year and have invested in a 
sophisticated product performance and simulation software program to assist in reducing the time and costs involved 
with the creation of new high performance products. We have a number of projects we are currently working on to 
improve  existing  products  and/or  developing  new  products  in  response  to  the  changing  road  safety  environment 
for testing and commercialisation. We continue to fund these through a combination of working capital and funds 
received as part of the Australian Government’s Research and Development tax rebate program. We believe it is 
imperative we maintain this innovative approach to our business where we are seeing an increasing predominance of 
imported products. We are striving to generate our own intellectual property and therefore keep government funds in 
Australia (with Australian-owned companies and employees) rather than going to offshore shareholders and workers.

L O O K I N G   A H E A D

We anticipate another year of modest profitability gain as there continues to be pressure on all levels of government 
(ultimately the end asset owner) to optimise expenditure on road infrastructure.

The steps we continue to take to improve productivity should enable us to maintain our operating margins in what will 
remain a very challenging domestic market, where all significant sales are won through a competitive tender/quote 
process.

Our public lighting and rental barrier businesses are in strong growth phases that will require our careful allocation 
of additional working capital. Combining this with the launch of our new VMS products, we should more than sustain 
our overall sales levels.

We will keep building on the achievements made to date on our international markets expansion. There is encouraging 
interest from other overseas parties in our patented products and we anticipate more distribution agreements with 
overseas parties.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the support of my fellow Directors, Senior Management Team and our staff, who 
have worked tirelessly to achieve another positive underlying result, despite the distraction of the relocation to a new 
facility. This should set us up to further enable the business to continue its transformation of improvement for the 
foreseeable future.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

Saferoads has been involved in a number of projects with its innovative solutions over the past financial year.  A 
sample of these are outlined below.

S O L A R   P U B L I C   L I G H T I N G

Gympie Regional Council in Queensland have installed Saferoads solar powered 
LED street lights adjacent to a public pathway network to improve night time use.  
The pathway is a trunk pedestrian route for the Southside of Gympie and the 
section of pathway had no street lighting for approximately 500 metres.  The area 
is not serviced by mains supply power and installation of such would require the 
removal of significant vegetation, or an expensive underground supply.

The Saferoads solar lighting solution was chosen because:
it provided light duration of 23-30 hours without charge
• 
the light can be programmed to dim after specified times
• 
there are no overhead supply wires
• 
 it has a low-carbon foot-print - one solar street light saves about 
• 
1 ton of CO2 per year
there is no heavy metal in the LED fixtures
 it supports crime prevention through environmental design 
(CPTED)

In February 2016, Ace Contractors were awarded the Cardinia Road Upgrade Project 
in Officer, Victoria.  

Included  in  their  scope  of  works  was  a  roundabout,  tight  intersections  and  several 
stages where barriers needed tapers, flexibility and the ability to work around some 
fairly tight curves.  

After many meetings with the road authority, a final Traffic Management Plan was agreed upon, which included the 
optimal use of the IronmanTM Hybrid product, with various End Treatment solutions and the best utilisation of the 
many features of the barrier.

Project  Manager,  Pawel  Bankowski  said  “We  sought  barrier  solutions  and  proposals  from  several  companies.  
Choosing Saferoads came down to three distinct factors in the end:
•  The product needed to achieve minimum deflection at the speed and likely impact angle;
•  We needed to achieve a tight radius through the roundabout section of our project; and
•  We required a comprehensive deployment solution.  

“Saferoads have delivered a very suitable product at competitive rates and are specialists in their field.”

I R O N M A N T M  H Y B R I D   B A R R I E R   S O L U T I O N

In April 2016, Bitu-mill were awarded a project to construct a 1.5 km 
long overtaking lane on the Calder Highway, Nowingi (south of Mildura, 
Victoria).  The methodology adopted by Bitu-mill included the team 
working in 500 metre sections at a time on the busy section of the 
highway.  

In evaluating the barrier options it became evident that they needed a product that:
•     was economical to freight
•      had reasonably strong deflection performance 
which offered the contractor a close working 
proximity; and

•      provided a flexible enough option to move and 
relocate with the staging within the construction 
program

Project  manager,  Doug  Warren  said  “Saferoads  were 
able  to  provide  Bitu-Mill  with  an  efficient  barrier  solution, 
a  high  quality  deployment  service  and  overall  barrier  and 
compliance expertise that we value highly.”

F L E X L O C   G U I D E P O S T   S A F E T Y   I N S T A L L A T I O N   S O L U T I O N S

After working closely with a number of Councils and 
a variety of Government bodies, it was apparent that 
there was a need to improve the deployment of roadside 
guideposts. As a result, Saferoads developed an 
aluminium trailer designed to securely hold a pallet of 
Flexloc guideposts and a lockable toolbox to store all the 
relevant tools and sockets. 

One great innovation with the Flexloc trailer is that once 
the pallet is loaded, the back doors can be closed and 
the side-door access allows installers to work from the 
side of the road to keep an eye out for oncoming traffic. 
Another advantage is that at any given time the trailer is 
geared up and ready to go, making the operations side of 
installing roadside guideposts much more efficient.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

R O A D Q U A K E   T E M P O R A R Y   P O R TA B L E   R U M B L E   S T R I P S

In the previous year we introduced a new, innovative product in the form of 
Temporary  Portable  Rumble  Strips  (“TPRS”). The  RoadQuake  solution  has 
now been extensively tested and trialled in New South Wales and Western 
Australia with great success and we are now carrying out extensive trials in 
Queensland and Victoria.

The RoadQuake TPRS is mainly designed to alert distracted drivers of upcoming 
road conditions however, all the data collected so far through these trials has 
indicated a reduction in speed which has been a tremendous bonus to make 
our roads and work zones safer.  In a MainRoads WA approved trial carried out 
by Fulton Hogan, the speeds on average dropped by approximately 8 km/h at all sites tested. They were found to be 
quick and easy to install and were very effective in alerting drivers for the road works ahead.

Up until this point in time the trials have been carried out in rural conditions. The upcoming trials in Queensland are 
set to break new ground in Australia with a growing need for the added safety of such a device to be used in multi-lane 
metropolitan situations. The growing need to reduce accidents in work zone incidents is paramount to Saferoads.

T- L O K   B A R R I E R S   O N   W E B B   D O C K   P R O J E C T

Saferoads  has  just  completed  supplying  custom  T-LOK  concrete  barriers  to 
BMD Constructions for stage 1 of the new Webb Dock fully automated container 
terminal in Melbourne.

constructions

The ability to customise the T-LOK barrier design with our in-house engineering 
team allowed us to work with the customer’s engineers to build a custom T-LOK barrier to separate the Automated 
Container Carriers (“ACC”) from other traffic and pedestrian areas at the terminal.

The  custom  T-LOK  barriers  included  large  reinforced  galvanised  fork  ports,  additional  structural  reinforcing,  top 
mount fence ferrules, high-visibility paint scheme, and high-strength fence panels.

Custom corner blocks have also been supplied to provide a continuous interlocking system through 90 degree corners.

After  being  based  in  the  Warragul  /  Drouin  area  in  West  Gippsland,  Victoria  since  the  company  was  founded, 
Saferoads made the move closer to Melbourne in late November 2015.

This was to allow us to take advantage of various synergies and savings including the consolidation from two sites to 
a single site, reduced freight and travel costs and access to a broader supply chain base and employee talent pool 
for future recruitment needs.

The lease of our Drouin premises had expired and the Company entered into a 10 year lease of a new purpose-built 
facility in Pakenham, incorporating office, warehouse, assembly and hardstand yard.

Company’s constitution. Currently this limit is set at $350,000 per annum, and can only be changed at a general 
meeting.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Mr Darren Hotchkin, Chief Executive Officer, received total remuneration of $340,000 including a component of the 
remuneration covering his secondment to the USA for part of the financial year to establish business opportunities 
in that market.
Note, Mr Hotchkin’s actual working hours in the prior year were reduced which resulted in a lower level of remuneration.

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

Key  Management  Personnel  (“KMP”)  is  defined  by  AASB  124  -  Related  Party  Disclosures.  Only  Directors  and 
Executive Management that have the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities 
of Saferoads, directly or indirectly and are responsible for the entity’s governance are classified as KMP.

PERFORMANCE-BASED REMUNERATION

Performance-based remuneration (bonus incentives) for Key management personnel (apart from Mr Hotchkin) for 
the year ended 30 June 2016 was based on the Company performance (PBT) exceeding budget. As the Company 
did not exceed budgeted PBT for FY2016, there was no performance-based remuneration (bonus incentives) paid or 
payable to key management personnel for the year.

A summary of Company performance for the past five financial years is below.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During  the  year,  Grant  Thornton,  the  Company’s  auditors,  performed  certain  other  services  in  addition  to  their 
statutory audit duties.

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

-  

-  

 all  non-audit  services  were  subject  to  the  corporate  governance  procedures  adopted  by  the  Company  and 
have been reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure they do not impact upon the impartiality and 
objectivity of the auditor

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

Details of the amounts paid to the auditors of the Company, Grant Thornton, and its related practices for audit and 
non-audit services provided during the year are set out in Note 21 to the financial statements.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
Saferoads Holdings Limited is a type of Company that is referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/
Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191 and therefore the amounts contained in this report and in the financial 
report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
The attached independence declaration has been obtained from the Company’s auditors, Grant Thornton.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of Directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

The entity is yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the impact of AASB 16. However, based on the entity’s preliminary
assessment, the likely impact on the first time adoption of the Standard for the year ending 30 June 2020 includes:
- there will be a significant increase in lease assets and financial liabilities recognised on the balance sheet
- the reported equity will reduce as the carrying amount of lease assets will reduce more quickly than the carrying amount of lease
liabilities
- EBIT in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be higher as the implicit interest in lease payments for
former off balance sheet leases will be presented as part of finance costs rather than being included in operating expenses
- operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows as principal repayments
on all lease liabilities will now be included in financing activities rather than operating activities. Interest can also be included within
financing activities

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 23 August 2016. The Directors have the power to amend and
reissue the financial statements.

(c)

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the legal parent entity, Saferoads Holdings Limited and
its subsidiaries ('the Group'). The separate financial statements of the parent entity have not been presented within this financial
report as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies.  Adjustments are made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.

All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions, have been eliminated
in full.  

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date
on which control is transferred out of the Group.

Where there is loss of control of a subsidiary, the consolidated financial statements include the results for the part of the reporting
period during which Saferoads Holdings Limited has control.

(d)

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group's entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in
which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the parent entity's
functional and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

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

the date of

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

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss
is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Group's presentation currency
are translated as follows:

 - assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date;
 - income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and
 - retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's foreign currency
translation reserve in the statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists, and in the case of indefinite life intangibles
annually, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments,
where applicable, are made on a prospective basis.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future recoverability can reasonably be
regarded as assured.

Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost
less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Any expenditure carried forward is amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related project.

The carrying value of each development project is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not yet in use, or more
frequently when an indicator of impairment arises during the reporting year indicating that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when the
asset is derecognised.

Any Research and Development tax rebates received or receivable are offset against the respective capitalised development costs
to the extent to which they relate to the claim.

(i)

Inventories

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

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
- Raw materials:  purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis;
- Finished goods and work-in-progress: cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on
normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the
estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(j)

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-60 day terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance
for any uncollectable amounts.

An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when
identified.

(k)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash in the statement of financial position comprises cash at bank and on hand.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above,
net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(l)

Assets classified as held for sale

Assets are classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their
carrying amount will be recovered principally through as ale transaction. They are not depreciated or amortised. For an asset to be
classified as held for sale it must be available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale must be highly probable.

Income Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid
to taxation authorities based on the current period's taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to compare the amount are
those that are enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward or unused tax assets and unused
tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and
future unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised, based on
tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

(s)

Other taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

- where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST
is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and

- receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from the
investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash
flows.

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

(t)

Employee benefits

Provision is made for the Group's liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting date.
Employee benefits expected to be settled wholly within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liability is settled plus related on-costs. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future
cash outflows to be made for those benefits.

(u)

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial
year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods
and services.

(v)

Derivative Financial Instruments

instruments such as forward currency contracts to hedge risks associated with foreign
The group may use derivative financial
currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value at the date on which the derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is
positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives
are taken directly to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year.

(w)

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best
available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and
economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group.

Fair Values
The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the financial statements represents their respective fair values,
determined in accordance with the accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements.

instrument fluctuating due to

functional currency of the Group.
At reporting date, the Group did not hold any financial

Sensitivity Analysis
The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in interest rates on borrowings and exchange rates
on purchases. The table indicates the impact on how profit and equity values reported at reporting date would have been affected by
changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the
movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables. The following sensitivities are based on market experience over
the last 12 months.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the 
Company’s preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 Company’s internal control. An audit 
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the financial report. 

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