Commentary on the Results for the Period 
The earnings per security: 
The current year result is a loss per share of (0.69) cents as compared to the prior year loss per 
share of (0.92) cents. 

Results for Site Group International Limited show a revenue line of $30.9M with an EBITDA loss of 
the continuing operation of $3.2M. The results continue to be negatively impacted by the distraction 
of  the  regulatory  action  and  legal  cases  currently  underway  both  in  terms  of  professional  fees 
incurred and also the substantial commitment of management time and resources. 

Despite  this  and  in  line  with  the  strategic  direction,  Site  has  made  progress  in  its  studies  as  to 
decoupling the International and Domestic training businesses as well as progress in determining 
potential optimisation of its Clark leasehold property. 

For further review of results please refer to the Directors report on page 8 of the attached annual 
report.

Time:

Managing Director and CEO Letter 

Results for Site Group International Limited as released in July show a revenue line of $30.9M with an 
EBITDA loss of the continuing operation of $3.2M. The results continue to be negatively impacted by 
the distraction of the regulatory action and legal cases currently underway both in terms of professional 
fees incurred and also the substantial commitment of management time and resources. 

Despite this and inline with the strategic direction, Site has made progress in its studies as to decoupling 
the  International  and  Domestic  training  businesses  as  well  as  progress  in  determining  potential 
optimisation of its Clark leasehold property. 

Site  recently announced  the  appointment  of  Ms  Nina  Cordero as  President  and  CEO  of  Site  Group 
Holdings, the Site subsidiary that holds the Clark lease. Ms Cordero is working closely with Directors 
Nick  Alcantara  and  Vern  Wills  on  the  completion  of  feasibility  studies  with  Urban  renewal  specialist 
Palafox as well as the development of a a business model, financial model and identification of strategic 
partners for any future optimisation plan for Sites 30 Hectare leasehold property in Clark, Philippines. 

The Group continues to build internationally, with new opportunities evolving in competency focussed 
programs predominantly with existing customers targeted at workforce needs in a number of countries, 
both  existing  and  new  markets  such  as  Singapore,  Indonesia  and  Bahrain.  Site’s  nationalisation  of 
workforce programs continue to have great effect in countries such as PNG, Myanmar, Philippines and 
Saudi Arabia. 

Site  expects  to  establish  new  markets,  particularly  around  its  competency  framework  capability  and 
Chemical and Energy Industries, over the next 12 months. 

In Australia, Site continues to investigate options for the optimisation of it services. Site Skills Group 
(SSG) received over 27,000 enrolments across 48,000 units of competency, with the majority of those 
programs being delivered under pre-qualified arrangements with some of Australia`s largest and most 
significant  projects  and  corporations.  SSG  is  pleased  to  have  the  continued  confidence  of  these 
companies,  many  of  whom  conduct  independent  audit  and  analysis  activities  before  pre-qualifying 
SSG.   

SSG student completion rates remain well above sector average at approximately 90%, with overall 
student satisfaction rate remaining at approximately 90%.

Regulatory Actions 

There is a prevailing view amongst the Vocational Education and Training sector that its regulator, the 
Australian  Skills  Quality  Authority  (ASQA),  is  continuing  with  a  sledgehammer  approach  to  private 
sector  RTOs.  Since  January  2018,  ASQA  has  cancelled  over  400  private  Registered  Training 
Organisations with many feeling that they have had inconsistent treatment by the regulatory authority, 
particularly in comparison to the regulators treatment of non-private RTOs, who seem to be given extra 
opportunity to rectify any non-compliances.  

As  disclosed  in  the  market  update  of  31  July  2019,  Site  remains  in  dispute  with  the  (ASQA)  in  the 
Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and Federal Court, and in the Federal Court with the pending 
ACCC litigation. This action appears likely to continue for some time, potentially into the second half of 
2020.  

In July 2019, at the initial AAT hearing for Site Skills Group (SSG), the ongoing unconditional stay of 
SSG operations was confirmed. The substantive issue of SSG operations remains before the AAT.  

Trial dates have now been established for the commencement of Productivity Partners proceedings 
brought by the ACCC set down for June 2020.   

Site remains confident in its position.  

I would like to thank our ongoing directors Peter Jones (Chairman of Site Group International Limited) 
and  Nicasio  Alcantara  (Chairman  of  Site’s  International  Operations),  CFO  and  Company  Secretary 
Craig Dawson, all management and staff and equally all shareholders for their ongoing support.

Following the initial announcement in June 2018 to separate the responsibility for the Domestic and 
International business, the group continues to investigate growth and utilisation options of its leasehold 
in  Clark  Freeport  Zone  (“Clark”)  Philippines.  The  Clark  precinct  is  experiencing  a  significant  growth 
phase with the construction of a new airport terminal as well as the long anticipated Clark to Manila rail 
due for completion in 2023.   

In  line  with  the  appointment  of  Mr  Nicasio  Alcantara  as  Chairman  of  the  international  subsidiaries, 
interests  associated  with  Mr  Alcantara  have  provided  a  financing  facility  of  $US4m  to  enable  the 
continuation of the international growth strategy and provide working capital. Repayment of funds drawn 
under the facility will be via cash or equity to be issued at the last issue price of 4 cents per share subject 
to approval of shareholders. A total of US$2.9 million has been drawn to 30 June 2019.  

Projected  increases  in  revenues  are  expected  to  continue  internationally  from  the  Philippines,  the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Papua New Guinea and Myanmar as well as new project opportunities in the 
Middle East which are expected to positively impact on 2020.

Operating and financial review continued 

Site remains in dispute with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) in the Administrative Appeals 
Tribunal (AAT) and Federal Court, and in the Federal Court with the pending Australian Competition 
and Consumer Commission (ACCC) litigation. These actions appear likely to continue for some time, 
potentially into the second half of 2020.  

In  July  2019,  at  the  initial  stage  of  the  AAT  hearing  for  Site  Skills  Group  (SSG),  the  ongoing 
unconditional  stay  of  the  ASQA  renewal  of  registration  rejection  decision  was  confirmed  and  has 
remained in place since 21 May 2018. The substantive issue of SSG operations remains before the 
AAT.  

Trial dates have not yet been established for the commencement of Productivity Partners proceedings 
brought by the ACCC. The ACCC has commenced civil proceedings against Site, Productivity Partners 
and two former executives in relation to enrolment practices of the college in 2015.  

Site  continues  to  expend  significant  operational  resources  ensuring  that  SSG  remains  compliant  to 
achieve  the  favourable  outcome  in  the  AAT  and  focus  on  ensuring  the  best  interests  of  clients  and 
students. SSG continues to be impacted with customers postponing training until the appeal process is 
finalised.  

Consistent with the 30 June 2018 annual report, the closure of the Productivity Partners (PP) business 
and closure of the VET FEE-HELP related campuses has meant that this business has been reported 
as a discontinued operation in the result to 30 June 2019 and comparative period. Following review of 
the  historical  taxation  treatment  for  the  revenue  derived  by  the  PP  business,  management  lodged 
amended income tax returns for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 income tax years resulting in income tax 
refund for $1,688,960 being received in January 2019. 

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2019,  Site  Group  International  Limited  reported  a  loss  after  tax  from 
continuing  operations  of  $5,082,800  compared  to  an  after  tax  loss  of  $9,547,913  in  the  previous 
corresponding period. 

For comparability with the trading result in the prior period, the below table shows the result for the 
Group including the discontinued operations over the last 4 years.

Site Skills Training - Domestic 

Site  Skills  Training  (SST)  is  an  Australian  Registered  Training  Organisation  with  six  large  training 
facilities across Australia, in Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland. These Australian 
facilities  with  a  combined  footprint  of  approximately  33,500sqm  have  become  hubs  for  some  of 
Australia’s largest projects in Mining, Construction and Oil and Gas including; Curtis Island Coal Seam 
Gas (CSG) to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects; Western Australia Northwest Shelf LNG projects; 
and Darwin Onshore and Offshore LNG projects; and effectively most major mine project sites across 
Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland. 

The  Australian  operations  have  been  hindered  primarily  by  ongoing  regulatory  uncertainty  between 
SSG and the ASQA. While SSG revenue has been negatively impacted, with a year-on-year reduction 
of  10%  to  $12,866,083  from  $14,284,041  in  the  previous  period,  primarily  as  a  result  of  contracts 
suspended or missed due to the regulatory uncertainty, SSG continues to receive exceptional customer 
engagement,  satisfaction  and  completion  rates  amongst  individual  and  corporate  clients  which  all 
outperform industry targets.  

SST has invested substantially in compliance resources and systems over the past 36 months and Site 
has full confidence in the independent executive and management team to continue to deliver above 
and beyond the expectations of its tens of thousands of students and hundreds of corporate clients 
across high risk and nationally critical industries.  

EBITDA  was  a  loss  of  $1,728,678  compared  to  an  EBITDA  loss  of  $189,964  in  the  previous  year 
reflecting  the  lower  revenue  but  also  the  additional  compliance  and  legal  costs  incurred  within  this 
division.  

In  addition  to  its  corporate  customers,  SST  delivers  training  to  individuals  using  Western  Australia, 
Queensland and Northern Territory subsidised training regimes.  In Queensland, Vocational Education 
and  Training  (VET)  in  Schools  students  has  expanded  and  will  provide  further  growth  in  the  next 
financial year.  

SST continues to invest in its systems and delivery platforms including launching a new transactional 
website in July 2019.  

Site Skills Training – International  

Site  Skills  Training  –  International  division  provides  training  and  competency  assurance  services  to 
organisations  and  governments  in  countries  where  local  workforces  require  additional  skills  to  meet 
global standards. The segment, based at Site's major training facility in Clark Freeport Zone near Manila 
in the Philippines, delivered a 17% increase in revenue to $12,658,371 in the 12 months to June 2019, 
compared  with  $10,789,008  in  the  prior  year.  EBITDA  was  $682,394  compared  with  an  EBITDA  of 
$698,936 in the prior year.  

To  date  SST  International  has  provided  education  and  training  services  to  countries  including  the 
Philippines,  PNG,  Myanmar,  Saudi  Arabia,  United  Kingdom,  China,  Singapore,  Malaysia  and  has 
delivered services to governments and companies in locations including Timor-Leste, UAE, Azerbaijan, 
Africa and others.  

The  Clark  operations  continue  to  provide  the  platform  for  our  International  expansion  with  existing 
customers OceanaGold, FieldCore (a GE Company), Orica, Clough and Shell Brunei receiving regular 
services. Additionally, Site WorkReady is increasing the provision of skilled trades people for markets 
in Australia, New Zealand and the Africa`s.

Operating and financial review continued 

The National Construction Training Center (NCTC) in Nairiyah has been operating since September 
2017 servicing the training needs of construction companies across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The 
College is currently operating at capacity of 600 students and well in front of trainee projections to meet 
the 1,800 trainees contracted with another one year to run on the contract. Therefore, revenue from this 
contract will be higher than anticipated and reported previously.  

With over 1,000 graduates entering employment, NCTC output aligns well with the Kingdom’s Vision 
2030. Feedback from employers is very positive and with new mega projects announced in the Eastern 
Province  where  NCTC  is  located,  the  future  demand  for  skilled  graduates  in  the  trades  serviced  by 
NCTC is very high. 

Site and Saudi partner AbdulAli Al Ajmi Company recently developed five Training Unit Improvement 
Plans for five Saudi Arabian operated Vocational Schools and Colleges across the Kingdom. These 
plans form the basis of an upcoming tender for the 3 Year Phase 2 projects implementing the plans.  

Energy Services 

The  Energy services  segment  incorporating  the Wild  Geese  International  business  in  Perth  and  the 
internationally  based  Site  Group  International  Energy  division  (“SGI”)  provides  specialist  training 
services  to  the  oil  and  gas  industry  including  workforce  design  and  identification,  skills  training  and 
competency assessment and assurance.  

Revenue  for  the  12  months  for  the  business  fell  slightly  to  $3,639,017  (2018:  $3,781,713)  with  an 
EBITDA of $211,651 (2018: EBITDA loss of $4,600,696). 

Wild Geese International’s involvement with the Queensland Natural Gas Exploration and Production 
Industry forum for the delivery of Queensland wide Industry Safety Inductions has provided services to 
growing numbers of contractor and operator companies in Queensland. 

The Site Group International Energy division’s Singapore and Malaysian operation continue to develop 
their relationship and delivery of services in both Myanmar and PNG.  

In Myanmar, ongoing delivery with in-country partners, Uniteam will see 31 PTTEP (the Thai national 
petroleum  exploration  and  production  company)  trainee  technicians  complete  their  training  end  of 
August  19.  This  is  the  fifth  group  to  be  trained  at  the  centre,  a  total  of  200  successfully  trained 
technicians over the last 5 years. A further proposal has been submitted to global energy leader, Total, 
for the training and development of their next batch of technicians through the Myanmar facility. 

In PNG the commissioning of the Safe Live Process Plant (SLPP) is complete with final payment being 
received for the SLPP from Kumul Petroleum. The training facility in Port Moresby is now expected to 
benefit with an inflow of additional candidates to be trained in the 12-month Competence Based Junior 
Technician program for the major Oil and Gas players as part of their National Workforce Development 
commitment in PNG over the next 5 years. There has already been a significant increase in enrolments 
by Industry training PNG nationals as technicians for the future with potentially over 100 new enrolments 
in the program in 2020.  

Site  continues  to  investigate  expansion  of  its  SLPP  and  technician  development  plan  in  Singapore, 
Bahrain and KSA as new opportunities arise. This is largely fuelled by a rapidly ageing workforce in the 
industry, a significant investment into new projects around the world and a push by many countries for 
a workforce nationalisation training agenda. 

In  addition  a  new  contract  was  completed  during  the  year  with  FieldCore,  a  GE  Company,  for  the 
development  of  their  Global  Competence  Framework,  comprising  job  competence  profiles,  job  task 
profiles, performance and assessment criteria, covering their global technical workforce including the 
Africa, Asia/ Australia, Europe, North and South America continents. FieldCore is the field technical 
services company for GE Power globally. The project covers a target workforce of over 10,000 technical 
personnel including technicians, supervisors and management levels working in Power Services, Aero, 
Oil and Gas, Renewables sectors.

Tertiary Education 

This  segment  provides  tertiary  education  for  international  students  seeking  to  develop  careers  in  a 
range of different disciplines. Students can choose from a range of diploma and certificate level courses 
in Australia. 

This division reported an increase in revenue of 84% to $2,614,754 in 2019, up from $1,423,013  in 
2018. EBITDA improved to a positive $110,138 compared to an EBITDA loss of $243,958 in 2018, as 
the scale of the business improves on the back of increased student number and enrolments 

International student numbers studying in Australia continue to grow with over 280 current enrolments 
in  CRICOS  registered  courses.  Future  revenues  are  expected  to  continue  to  grow  during  the  2020 
financial year as international students take the opportunity to study engineering and manufacturing 
technology  courses  with  Site  Institute.  Export  market  networks  have  been  established  for  receiving 
inbound  students  from  countries  across  Asia,  Americas  and  Europe,  with  the CRICOS  division  now 
training students from countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and South 
Korea. 

In addition, TESOL Asia is a training and industry focussed organisation for Teachers in the English as 
a Second Language (ESL) sector. It provides access to training, consulting, industry conferences and 
academic  journals  around  the  world.  Teaching  English  to  Speakers  of  Other  Languages  (TESOL) 
focusses on bringing English language acquisition academics together with professional teachers to 
support  and  develop  the  industry  globally.  The  investment  in  a  range  of  TESOL  courses  and 
conferences, and a number of strategic alliances are expected to further grow revenues with China a 
key market.  

Cash position 

At 30 June 2019, the Company had net current asset deficiency of $1,767,400. As a consequence of 
the impairment taken in the previous financial year, no amount has been reflected in the balance 
sheet for the receivable ($20,977,645) due from the Commonwealth Government Department of 
Education and Training (DET), even though the group maintains the position that it is entitled to the 
funds. The Company has also entered into a financing facility with Punta Properties for $US4,000,000 
to support the ongoing cash requirements of the business, of which $US2,9,000,000 has been drawn 
down during the year to fund the remaining shortfall in net current assets described above. The loan 
terms, as set out in note 17, will not result in a cash outflow from the Group in settlement of the loan 
unless there is a significant cash inflow to fund such settlement.  At 30 June 2019, the Company had 
cash reserves of $606,148 and had reduced the current interest bearing debt to $142,519. 

Risks 

Risk management is overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee for the Group via the maintenance and 
review of a risk register.  

The following sets out a summary of some of the key risks relevant to the Company and its operations: 

Risk 

Details 

Regulatory risk 

The Group operates in a highly regulated market and the Group is regulated by 
the Australian Federal and State Governments and the Philippine Government.  
Failure to meet regulatory requirements may impact materially on the business.

Risk 

Details 

Financing 

Sovereign risk 

The ability to implement its business strategy may be dependent upon the 
Group’s capacity to raise additional capital.  There is a risk that the Group may 
not be able to secure such funding on satisfactory terms or at all. 

The Group has significant operations in the Philippines.  Those operations are 
potentially subject to a degree of political risk and civil disobedience, although 
the location of Clark Education City within the Clark Freeport Zone helps 
mitigate such risks. 

Cultural unrest 

Any cultural unrest or perceived cultural unrest in the location of the campuses 
may result in decreased client interest. 

Competition 

The market for education services in Australia and worldwide is highly 
competitive and the group is likely to encounter strong competition from other 
entities as well as other countries for training and education. 

Industry downturn  The industries to which the Group provides services may be affected by factors 

outside the Group’s control. 

Limited operating 
history 

Site’s business model is relatively new, and Site is yet to generate recurring 
profits from its group activities.  The Group will be subject to all of the business 
risks and uncertainties associated with any developing business enterprise. 

Material contracts  The Group has entered into various contracts which are important to the future 
of the Group.  Any failure by counterparties to perform their job, or obligations 
could have an adverse effect on the Group. 

CDC lease 

The Group has entered a long term lease with Clark Development Corporation 
(CDC). There are a number of circumstances in which the CDC lease may be 
terminated (subject to compliance with provisions enabling certain breaches to 
be remedied) by CDC in which case Site does not have any rights to 
compensation or reimbursement for funds expended on the leased land, 
improvements and moveables on the leased property pass to CDC on 
termination.  Such termination may occur where Site has breached a provision 
of the CDC lease or where there is an insolvency event.  The CDC lease may 
also be terminated in the event of any governmental expropriation of the 
leased property. In the event that the CDC lease was terminated, Site would no 
longer be in a position to operate its Philippines facility which would have 
significant impact on the Group and the Group’s ongoing operations. 

Currency 

Some of Site’s revenue streams and expenses are denominated in currencies 
other than the Australian Dollar.  It is possible that foreign exchange rates 
could move in a manner which would be unfavourable to the Company. 

Large holdings by 
some 
shareholders 

The two most significant existing shareholders (and their associates) have 
combined holdings of approximately 30% of the shares which may impact on 
liquidity in the public market for the sale of shares which may adversely affect 
the market price. 

Key employees 

A small number of key employees are responsible for the day to day and 
strategic management of the Group.  The Company has sought to mitigate the 
risk associated with this structure through entering service and employment 
agreements.

2020 Outlook  

The Philippines has experienced a number of major natural catastrophes over 
the years, including typhoons, drought, volcanic eruption and earthquakes.  
There can be no assurance that the occurrence of such natural catastrophes 
will not materially disrupt the Group’s operations. 

Whilst there are procedures for recognising foreign laws and judgements in the 
Philippines, the Philippine courts may reject the applicability of foreign law or 
judgment when the foreign law, judgment or contract is contrary to a sound and 
established public policy of the forum. Additionally, Philippine prohibitive laws 
concerning persons, their acts or property, and those which have for their 
object public order, public policy and good customs shall not be rendered 
ineffective by laws or judgments promulgated, or by determinations or 
conventions agreed upon in a foreign country.  Accordingly, the enforcement of 
rights of the Group within the Philippines with respect to foreign judgments and 
laws may be adversely affected by observance of Philippine procedural laws. 

The Group has and expects to continue to enter into arrangements which are 
important to the future of the Group.  It may be the case that these 
arrangements are non-binding and therefore unenforceable. The Group is also 
reliant upon third parties maintaining appropriate qualifications and 
accreditations and to the extent that these are not maintained, there may be an 
adverse impact on the Group. 

The Group’s expansion plans include the Philippines, Western Australia, 
Northern Territory and Queensland as well as potentially other national and 
international jurisdictions.  If there are circumstances which impact negatively 
on these jurisdictions, this may adversely affect the Group’s continuing 
operations. 

While Site continues to investigate options for the optimisation of its Australian services, as the company 
looks at its strategic direction, it is clear the Board believe the substantial future and growth for Site is 
in its international segments. 

The recent contract wins demonstrate the growth opportunities for Site in its international segments. 
These are expected to continue into FY20, as the group focuses on the expansion and optimisation 
opportunities across its international business and assets. 

In several announcements over the last 12 months, Site has identified the 30-hectare leasehold at Clark 
having potential for increased utilisation and optimisation. There has been a new master plan of Clark 
prepared by world-renowned architect, master planner and urban renewal specialists, Palafox for the 
Philippine government agency Clark Development Corporation which envisages a major urban renewal 
plan for the Clark precinct including Site’s facility. 

The  leasehold  land  held  by  Site’s  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Site  Group  Holdings  (SGH)  is  currently 
approved as a mixed-use educational campus and related training facilities with the ability to sublease 
for mixed use purposes. SGH recently appointed Palafox to develop a full concept plan for the facility. 
This development work is ongoing.

After balance date events 

Capital Management 

• 

In August 2019 the company successfully completed the issue of 93,750,000 shares under a

Dividends paid 

There have been no dividends paid. 

Environmental issues 

The Group’s operations are not regulated by any significant environment regulation under a law of the 
Commonwealth or of a State or Territory. 

Share options 

As at the date of this report there were no unissued shares under options.  

In November 2011 the Shareholders approved the establishment of an Employee Share Plan that would 
enable employees, directors and eligible associates to subscribe for shares in the Company. Under the 
terms of the plan an eligible person is offered shares in the Company at a price determined by the board 
with a corresponding interest free loan to assist the person to subscribe for the shares. The shares are 
escrowed in two tranches with 50% being escrowed for 12 months and 50% being escrowed for 24 
months. Subsequent to these minimum restriction periods, the shares are available for release from 
escrow  on  the  repayment  of  the  loan,  and  subject  to  continuation  of  employment  (or  acting  as  an 
associate or director) at the time of repayment. 

During  the  year  the  company  issued  7,700,000  shares  under  the  employee  share  plan  with  a  loan 
amount payable (option exercise price) of 4 cents per share. Details of these shares are outlined in note 
16 to the financial report.  

As at 20 August 2019, there are 12,700,000 ordinary shares subject to escrow restrictions.

Indemnification and insurance of directors and officers 

During the financial year, the Company paid premiums for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in 
respect of Directors and officers, including executive officers of the Company and Directors, executive 
officers and secretaries of its controlled entities as permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The terms 
of the policy prohibit disclosure of details of the insurance cover and premiums. 

Indemnification of auditors

part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the 
audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify Pitcher Partners during or 
since the financial year. 

Non-audit services 

Non-audit services were provided by the company’s auditor, Pitcher Partners, in the current financial 
year  and  by  the  company’s  previous  auditor,  Ernst &  Young,  in  the  comparative  financial year.  The 
Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standards 
of  independence  for  the  auditor  imposed  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Refer  to  note  24  Auditor’s

Remuneration Report (audited) 

This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2019 outlines the remuneration arrangements of 
Site Group International Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) and its regulations.  This information has 
been audited as required by section 308(3C) of the Act. 

The remuneration report details the remuneration arrangements for key management personnel (KMP) 
who  are  defined  as  those  persons  having  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and 
controlling  the  major  activities  of  the  Company  and  the  Group,  directly  or  indirectly,  including  any 
director (whether executive or otherwise) of the parent company.  

For  the  purposes  of  this  report,  the  term  “executive”  includes  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  (CEO), 
executive directors and other senior executives of the Group. 

Nomination and Remuneration Committee  
The  directors  established  a  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  in  2012  and  have  agreed  a 
charter and process. The committee convened once during the 2019 financial year with final discussions 
about  remuneration  or  appointments  being  approved  by  the  full  board.  The  Nomination  and 
Remuneration committee comprises two independent Non-Executive Directors (NEDs).  

The  Nomination  and  Remuneration  Committee  has  delegated  decision  making  authority  for  some 
matters related to the remuneration arrangements for NEDs and executives and is required to make 
recommendations to the board on other matters.  

Specifically, the board approves the remuneration arrangements of the CEO and other executives. The 
board also sets the aggregate remuneration of NEDs, which is then subject to shareholder approval, 
and NED fee levels.  

The board did not seek advice from external remuneration consultants during the year. 

The remuneration of the Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors is set by the Chairman of 
Directors and ratified by the Board of Directors. 

Directors 

The following persons were directors of the Company during the financial year: 

•  Vernon Wills – Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Remuneration of directors and executives 

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration 

The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is 
competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 

Relationship between remuneration and financial performance 

The Group is still in the build phase and has incurred additional costs during the build out. Therefore, 
there is no direct relationship between the Group’s financial performance and either the remuneration 
of  directors  and  executives  or  the  issue  of  shares  and  options  to  the  directors  and  executives. 
Remuneration  is  set  at  levels  to  reflect  market  conditions  and  encourage  the  continued  services  of 
directors and executives. 

Executive and non-executive directors 

Fees and payments to executives and non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, 
and the responsibilities of the directors.  Executive and non-executive directors’ fees and payments are 
reviewed annually by the Board. 

Directors’ fees 

There were Directors’ fees paid during the year to the NEDs with the executive director receiving a fixed 
salary of a full-time employee. 

Executive pay 

The executive pay and reward framework has the following components: 

•  Base pay benefits  
•  Other remuneration such as fringe benefits and superannuation 
•  STI payable based on predetermined KPI’s  
•  Eligibility to participate in the Employee Share Plan 

The combination of these comprises the executive’s total remuneration. 

Base pay 

Base pay is structured as a total employment cost package which is delivered in cash. Executives are 
offered  a  competitive  base  pay  that  comprises  the  fixed  component  of  pay.  Base  pay  for  senior 
executives  is  reviewed  annually.    An  executive’s  pay  is  also  reviewed  on  promotion.  There  are  no 
guaranteed base pay increases fixed in any senior executives’ contracts. 

Retirement benefits 

Retirement benefits are delivered under a range of different superannuation funds. These funds provide 
accumulated  benefits.  Where  applicable,  statutory  amounts  are  contributed  to  super  funds  for  all 
Australian based Directors and Executives.    

Executive contractual arrangements 

As Non-Executive Directors are not employees of the company, there are no contractual agreements 
with these parties.

Remuneration arrangements for other executives are formalised in employment agreements. Details of 
these contracts are provided below.  All other executives have contracts with unspecified ending dates. 
The contracts are continuing unless terminated by either party.  

Details of remuneration 

Details of the remuneration of each director of the Company and each of the two specified executives 
of the Group, including their personally related entities, are set out in the following tables. 

Directors 

The board seeks to set NED fees at a level which provides the Group with an ability to attract and retain 
NEDs with the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.  

The Group’s constitution and ASX listing rules specifies the NED maximum aggregate fee pool shall be 
determined from time to time at a general meeting. The latest determination was at the 2010 AGM held 
on 22 November 2010 when shareholders approved an aggregate fee pool of $350,000 per year.   

NED fees consist of base fees and committee fees recognising the additional time commitment required 
by NEDs who serve on Board committees. The NEDs may be reimbursed for expenses reasonably 
incurred for attending to the Group’s affairs. NEDs do not receive retirement benefits beyond applicable 
superannuation contributions.

Short term incentive (STI) 

Under  the  STI  plan,  executives  have  the  opportunity  to  earn  an  annual  incentive  award  which  is 
delivered in cash or shares at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee. The STI recognises and 
rewards  short  term  performance.  The  STI  award  is  determined  after  the  end  of  the  financial  year 
following a review of performance over the year against the STI performance measures.  

Group  EBITDA  and  business  unit  EBITDA  are  the  measures  against  which  management  and  the 
remuneration committee assess the short term financial performance of the Group. Both V. Wills and 
C.  Dawson  had  a  maximum  STI  opportunity  of  30%  of  their  fixed  remuneration.  For  FY19  0%  was 
earned and 100% forfeited because the service criteria was not met. 

Director and key management personnel options and rights holdings 

There were no options over ordinary shares held during the financial year by each KMP of the Group, 
other than in respect of the employee share plan below. 

Director and key management personnel participation in the employee share plan 

In November 2011 the Shareholders approved the establishment of an Employee Share Plan that would 
enable employees, directors and eligible associates to subscribe for shares in the Company. Under the 
terms of the plan an eligible person is offered shares in the Company at a price determined by the board 
with a corresponding interest free loan to assist the person to subscribe for the shares. The shares are 
escrowed  in  two  tranches  with  50%  being  escrowed  for  a  minimum  of  12  months  and  50%  being 
escrowed for a minimum of 24 months. Subsequent to these minimum restriction periods, the shares 
are available for release from escrow (i.e. vested and exercisable option) on the repayment of the loan, 
and subject to continuation of employment (including acting as an associate or director) at the time of 
repayment.

Directors’ Report continued 

Remuneration Report (audited) continued 

For accounting purposes these shares are treated as if these were share options, as whilst the shares 
have been issued to the employee their rights to access the shares are subject to both a time based 
requirement (continued employment to escrow dates) and valuation uncertainty (share price exceeds 
issue price at date of escrow release). Accordingly, shares issued under the plan are valued using a 
Black Scholes Option Valuation model with the expense being recognised over the escrow period as a 
share based payment.  

Mr Dawson was awarded a further 1,000,000 shares under the plan during the year, with a grant date 
of 8 March 2019 and a loan price (option exercise price) of 4 cents per share with 500,000 escrowed to 
29 March 2019 and 500,000 escrowed to 29 March 2020. No amount has been paid by Mr Dawson in 
respect of these shares. The related options have a grant date fair value of 0.64 cents per share and 
0.97c per share respectively for each tranche. There are no performance conditions attached to the 
shares other than the employee remaining with the group during the escrow period. The shares have 
an expiry date (last option exercise date) of 29 March 2022. 

The number of ordinary shares held by each KMP of the group under the plan is as follows:

Executive remuneration outcomes for 2019 

As noted earlier the company is actively developing its core business in Asia and Australia. Executive 
Remuneration is targeted at attracting and retaining quality people to lead the Company through this 
phase and on to profitability. The Company incurred losses since listing until 2015 however there are a 
number of metrics that may be used to judge the effectiveness of the leadership team during this period. 

Share price performance 

The  graph  above  illustrates  the  relative  performance  of  the  Company  share  price  over  the  past  12 
months.  The  blue  line  is  the  performance  of  the  small  ordinaries  index  –  in  comparative  terms  the 
Company’s share price has been significantly negatively impacted due to the delays in settlement of 
the Department of Education debtor and the regulatory actions currently in progress. 

Revenue growth 

The following table details reported revenue of the core business for the past seven years:

The year on year improvement of gain/(loss) per share until 2016 and the earnings per share achieved 
reflects improved revenue from the expansion of facilities and also incorporates significant integration 
of acquired businesses. The impact of the impairments reported in 2018 and 2017, closure of the PP 
business  and  action  currently  taken  by  the  regulator  has  significantly  impacted  the  share  price  and 
earnings per share. The leadership team are focused on continuing to grow the core business revenue, 
controlling costs and growing earnings.

Corporate Governance Statement 

The Australian Securities Exchange Limited (ASX) listing rules require a listed Company to provide in 
its annual report a statement of the main corporate governance practices that it had in place during the 
reporting period. The ASX listing rules also require a listed Company to report any instances where it 
has  failed  to  follow  the  recommendations  issued  by  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council  (“the 
Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practice Recommendations, 3rd Edition”) and the 
reasons for not following them. 

The  best  practice  recommendations  of  the  ASX  Corporate  Governance  Council  are  differentiated 
between  eight  core  principles  that  the  council  believes  underlie  good  corporate  governance.  The 
board’s statements to each core area are noted below: 

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that the board recognise and 
publish the respective roles and responsibilities of the board and management and how their 
performance is monitored and evaluated. The framework of responsibilities should be designed to: 

•

•

•

•
•

•

•

•

enable the board to provide strategic guidance for the Company and effective oversight of
management;
clarify the respective roles and responsibilities of board members and senior executives in
order to facilitate board and management accountability;
undertake appropriate background checks on proposed new directors and ensure sufficient

Corporate Governance Statement continued 

The board meets on a regular basis to review the performance of the Company against its goals both 
financial and non-financial. In normal circumstances, prior to the scheduled board meetings, each 
board  member  is  provided  with  a  formal  board  package  containing  appropriate  management  and 
financial reports. 

Written  agreements  are  entered  in  to  with  each  director  clearly  setting  out  their  roles  and 
responsibilities. The responsibilities of the management including the chief executive officer and chief 
financial officer are contained in letters of appointment and job descriptions given to each executive 
on appointment and updated from time to time, usually annually.  

The board has not established formal evaluation criteria for the review of itself or its committees and 
has not undertaken a specific performance evaluation. The Site Group International Limited board 
uses a personal evaluation review to review the performance of Directors. Individual Directors are 
asked to communicate to the Chairman on a confidential basis to comment on their own performance, 
and  the  performance  of  the  board  and  its  committee.  Key  executives  are  reviewed  periodically 
against the business objectives and their own contractual obligations, including their personal KPIs.  

Appropriate background checks are conducted on proposed new Directors and material information 
about a director being re-elected is provided to security holders. 

The company secretary work directly with the chair on the functioning of all board and committee 
procedures.  

The  board  approved  and  issued  a  Diversity  Policy  in  January  2012.  The  nature  of  the  Site  Skills 
Training  part  of  the  business  providing  high  risk  licencing  and  trades  training  results  in  a  high 
proportion of the trainers being male however the company actively encourages the recruitment of 
female staff/contractors where available. 

No specific measurable objectives have been established at this stage. As noted above, as the nature 
of the company’s business is quite specific, setting measurable objectives may restrict the company’s 
development at this stage. Notwithstanding this, the company actively encourages the recruitment of 
female  staff/contractors  where  available  and  will  continue  to  recruit  and  promote  regardless 
of gender, age, ethnicity or cultural background.

Principle 2: Structure the board to add value 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that the board be structured in 
such a way that it: 

• 

is of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its 
responsibilities; 

•  has a proper understanding of, and competence to deal with, the current and emerging 

issues of the business; and 

•  has an appropriate number of independent non-executive directors who can challenge 

management and represent the best interests of security holders as a whole. 

To achieve best practice the Council recommends that: 

• 
the board should establish a nomination committee; 
• 
listed entities should disclose a board skills matrix;  
•  a majority of the board be “independent‟ Directors; 
• 

the chairperson be an “independent” Director and should not be the same person as the 
CEO; and 
listed entities have a program for inducting new directors and provide appropriate 
professional development opportunities. 

• 

The Company has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee (the Committee) and the board has 
approved the charter for the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee charter is 
set out on the Company’s website. 

The number of meetings of the Committee held during 2019 is set out in the Directors’ Report. 

In  2019  the  Committee  comprised  Mr  Peter  Jones  and  Mr  Nicasio  Alcantara.  The  Council 
recommends that remuneration committees be comprised of at least three independent directors. 
Despite both directors being non-executive directors, Mr Jones is not considered independent due 
to being a substantial shareholder. Due to Messrs Jones and Alcantara extensive corporate history 
and  experience,  the  company  believes  that  given  the  size  and  nature  of  its  operations,  non-
compliance has not been detrimental.  

The Company is developing an appropriate board skills matrix. Comprehensive details about each 
director’s experience and skills are set out in the Directors’ Report. 

Site  Group  International  Limited’s  current  board  consists  of  two  non-executive  Directors  and  one 
executive Director. The Chairman of the Board Mr Peter Jones is not considered to be independent 
due  to  being  a  substantial  security  holder.  In  accordance  with  the  Council’s  definition  of 
independence, Mr Vernon Wills is not considered independent as he is employed in an executive 
capacity and is a substantial security holder of the Company.  

Directors have the right to seek independent professional advice and are encouraged to undertake 
appropriate professional development opportunities in the furtherance of their duties as Directors at 
the Group’s expense. Informal induction is provided to any new Directors.

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly  

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that the Company should: 

• 

• 

clarify the standards of ethical behaviour of Directors and executives by establishing a 
code of conduct and encourage the observance of those standards; and 
the policy or a summary of that policy is to be disclosed. 

Site Group International Limited has a published code of conduct to guide executives, management 
and  employees  in  carrying  out  their  duties  and responsibilities. The code  of conduct  covers such 
matters as: 
• 
• 
• 
•  ethical responsibilities; 
•  employment practices; and 
• 

responsibilities to shareholders; 
compliance with laws and regulations; 
relations with customers and suppliers; 

responsibilities to the environment and the community. 

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that the Company have formal 
and rigorous processes that independently verify and safeguard the integrity of the company’s 
corporate reporting.  

To achieve best practice the Council recommends that:  
the board should establish an audit committee; 

• 
•  CEO and CFO sign declarations attesting to the accuracy of the Company’s accounts and 

that appropriate internal controls are in place; and 
the Company ensure the external auditor attends the AGM. 

• 

The Company has an Audit Committee and the number of meetings of the committee held during the 
2019 year is set out in the Directors’ Report. 

In 2019 the committee comprised Mr Peter Jones and Mr Nicasio Alcantara with the CEO attending 
on an ex officio basis. The Council recommends that audit committees be comprised of at least three 
independent  directors.  Despite  the  two  directors  being  non-executive  directors,  Mr  Jones  is  not 
considered to be independent due to being a substantial security holder of the Company. Due to 
Messrs  Jones  and  Alcantara  extensive  corporate  history  and  experience  in  financial  matters,  the 
company  believes  that  given  the  size  and  nature  of  its  operations,  non-compliance  has  not  been 
detrimental.   

Audit committee meetings are attended, by invitation, by the engagement partner (or their nominee) 
from the Company’s external auditor and such other senior staff or professional people as may be 
appropriate from time to time. 

Each year the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer sign declarations in accordance 
with section 295A of the Corporations Act, to confirm that the accounts are correct and in accordance 
with relevant legislation and that appropriate financial controls are in place.  

The external auditors are required to attend the annual general meeting and are available to answer 
any questions from security holders relevant to the audit.

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that a Company make timely and 
balanced disclosure of all matters concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a 
material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities. It recommends that it put in place 
mechanisms designed to ensure all investors have equal and timely access to material information 
concerning the Company (including its financial position, performance, ownership and governance), 
and that a Company’s announcements are factual and presented in a clear and balanced way. 

The board and senior management team at Site Group International Limited are conscious of the 
ASX  Listing  Rule  continuous  disclosure  requirements  and  have  processes  in  place  to  ensure 
compliance. Company policy requires: 

•  all announcements be reviewed by the Chairman and all directors; and 
•  all media comment is by the Chairman, Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer. 

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that a Company respects the 
rights of security holders by providing them with appropriate information and facilitates to allow 
them to exercise those rights effectively. 

To achieve best practice, the Council recommends that Companies:  

•  Provide information about themselves and their governance on their website; 
•  Design and implement a suitable investor relations program to facilitate effective two-way 

communication with investors; 

•  Disclose policies and processes to encourage participation at meetings of security holders; 

and  

•  Provide security holders with the option to receive communications electronically. 

Site  Group  International  Limited  promotes  effective  communication  with  shareholders  and 
encourages effective participation at general meetings by providing information to shareholders: 

•  Through the release of information to the market via the ASX; 
•  Through the distribution of the Annual Report and notices of annual general meeting; 
•  Through shareholder meetings and investor presentations; and 
•  By posting relevant information on Site Group International’s website: www.site.edu.au 

The company’s website has a dedicated investor relations section for the purpose of publishing all 
important company information and relevant announcements made to the market. 

The external auditors are required to attend the annual general meeting and are available to answer 
any shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and preparation of the audit report.

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that the Company establish a 
sound risk management framework to identify and manage risk on an ongoing basis. It 
recommends that the system be designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk; and inform 
investors of material changes to the Company’s risk profile. It suggests that to achieve “best 
practice”, the board or an appropriate board committee should establish policies on risk oversight 
and that the Company’s risk management and internal compliance and control system is operating 
efficiently and effectively in all material respects.  

The Audit and Risk Committee has in its Charter the requirement to consider risks that the Company 
has to manage.  

The Company has established a Risk Register that is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee 
annually. Risks are assessed and ranked in accordance with generally accepted risk management 
practices with appropriate mitigation strategies adopted where possible. 

The  Company  does  not  have  a  separate  internal  audit  function.  The  board  considers  that  the 
Company is not currently of the size or complexity to justify a separate internal audit function, and 
that  appropriate  internal  financial  controls  are  in  place.  Such  controls  are  monitored  by  senior 
financial management and the Audit and Risk Committee. 

In addition, the board does consider the recommendations of the external auditors and other external 
advisers and where considered necessary, appropriate action is taken to ensure that an environment 
is in place that key risks, as identified, are managed. 

The Director’s Report sets out some of the key risks relevant to the Company and its operations. 
Although  not  specifically  defined  as  such,  the  risks  include  economic,  environmental  and  social 
sustainability risks. As noted above, the Company regularly reviews risks facing the Company and 
adopts appropriate mitigation strategies where possible.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The ASX Corporate Governance Council guidelines recommend that the Company ensures that 
the level and composition of remuneration is sufficient and reasonable and that its relationship to 
corporate and individual performance is defined. In this regard it recommends that companies 
adopt remuneration policies that: 

•  attract and retain high quality Directors;  
•  attract, retain and motivate high quality senior executives; and 
• 

to align their interests with the creation of value for security holders. 

The Company has a Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the board has approved the 
charter for the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee charter is set out on the 
Company’s website. 

The number of meetings of the committee held during the 2019 year is set out in the Directors’ 
Report. 

In 2019 the Committee comprised Mr Peter Jones and Mr Nicasio Alcantara. The Council 
recommends that remuneration committees be comprised of at least three independent directors. 
Despite the two directors being non-executive directors, Mr Jones is not considered to be 
independent due to being a substantial security holder in the Company. Due to Messrs Jones and 
Alcantara extensive corporate history and experience, the company believes that given the size 
and nature of its operations, non-compliance has not been detrimental.  

All matters of remuneration and executive appointments were also considered by the full board.  At 
this stage it is reasonable that the board be accountable for setting their own remuneration and that 
of senior executives. 

The remuneration of the board’s non-executive and executive directors is set out in the relevant 
section of the Annual Report. Details of the nature and amount of each element of the 
remuneration of each director of the Company and the key management personnel of the Company 
are disclosed in the relevant section of the Annual Report. There is no retirement benefit scheme 
for directors other than payment of statutory superannuation. 

The Company has adopted a Trading Policy that includes a prohibition on hedging, aimed at 
ensuring participants do not enter into arrangements which would have the effect of limiting their 
exposure to risk relating to an element of their remuneration.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 

Note 1  

Corporate Information 

The consolidated financial report of Site Group International Limited (the Company) and its controlled 
entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 June 2019 was authorised for issue in accordance with a 
resolution of the directors on 30 August 2019. 

Site Group International Limited is a company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose 
shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX Code: SIT). The Group is a 
for-profit entity for the purposes of preparation of this financial report. 

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the directors' report. 

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are set out below. 
These policies have been consistently applied to the years presented unless otherwise stated. 

Basis of Preparation 

The financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with 
the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The financial 
report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs unless otherwise 
stated. 

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would 
result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and 
conditions. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are 
presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.  

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars. 

(a) 

Compliance with IFRS 

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards and International Financial 
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 

(b) 

Going concern 

The financial report has been prepared on the basis that the Group will continue to meet its financial 
obligations as and when they fall due and can therefore continue normal activities, including the 
settlement of liabilities and the realisation of assets in the ordinary course of business. 

In the financial year ended 30 June 2019 the Group made a net loss of $4,742,968 (2018: loss of 
$6,042,212) and the cash outflow from operating activities for the year was $2,680,639 (2018: 
$727,824). These results were significantly impacted by legal costs incurred and reputational harm 
arising from ongoing regulatory action. At 30 June 2019, the Group had deficiencies in net assets and 
net current assets of $2,773,247 and $1,767,400 respectively. 

Site remains in dispute with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) in the Administrative 
Appeals Tribunal (AAT) and Federal Court, and in the Federal Court with the pending Australian 
Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) litigation. These actions appear likely to continue for 
some time, potentially into the second half of 2020.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 continued 

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

In July 2019, at the initial stage of the AAT hearing for Site Skills Group (SSG), the ongoing 
unconditional stay of the ASQA renewal of registration rejection decision was confirmed and has 
remained since 21 May 2018. The substantive issue of SSG operations remains before the AAT. 

A trial date has been set (June 2020) for the Productivity Partners proceedings brought by the ACCC. 
The ACCC has commenced civil proceedings against Site, Productivity Partners and two former 
executives in relation to enrolment practices of the college in 2015. 

As a consequence of the impairment taken in the previous financial year, no amount has been 
reflected in the balance sheet for the receivable ($20,977,645 – refer note 7) due from the 
Commonwealth Government Department of Education and Training (DET), even though the Group 
maintains the position that it is entitled to the funds. Non-current trade and other payables 
($5,595,083 – refer note 10) will not result in an outflow of funds from the Group unless the DET 
receivable is collected. 

The Group had access to a further $US1,100,000 ($AUD1,658,000) in undrawn facilities at balance 
date under the loan arrangement with Punta Properties described in note 17. The loan terms will not 
result in a cash outflow from the Group in settlement of the loan unless there is a significant cash 
inflow to fund such settlement.  

Subsequent to balance date, the Group has successfully raised $3,750,000 capital through placement 
of 93,750,000 shares. 

Although the directors expect results and operating cash flows to continue to be negatively impacted 
by the ongoing regulatory actions described above, current forecasts of operational performance and 
capital expenditure requirements indicate that the Group will be cash flow positive in the 2020 
financial year having regard to undrawn financing facilities and the post-balance date capital raising 
described above. 

The directors are of the opinion that at the date of the signing of the financial statements there are 
reasonable grounds to believe that, having regard to the matters set out above, the Group will 
continue to operate as a going concern in the foreseeable future. 

 (c) 

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations 

(i)  Changes in accounting policy and disclosures. 

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and AASB 9 Financial Instruments, are applicable 
to the Group for the first time in the current financial year. Neither of the standards has had a material 
impact on the amounts recorded within the Group’s financial statements, consistent with the 
assessment of likely impact disclosed in the Group’s 30 June 2018 financial statements. The group 
has made changes necessary to comply with the requirements of the new standards, specifically: 

•  Required disaggregation disclosures under AASB 15 are made within note 2. Revenues are 
disaggregated into the categories described in note 1a(o) and by geographical location. 
•  Accounting policies for revenue recognition (note 1a(o)) have been updated to align with the 
requirements of AASB 15. The timing of revenue recognition under the revised revenue 
recognition policies does not differ from the timing which prevailed in previous years. 

•  Contract liabilities (formerly revenue received in advance) have been separately classified and 
required disclosures pertaining to these liabilities have been made in note 11. Comparative 
balances have been reclassified for consistency with current period disclosures, resulting in 
unearned income of $623,824 recognised within trade and other payables in the 30 June 2018 
financial statements being reclassified as contract liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 continued 

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

•  The Group has adopted the simplified approach to determining an allowance for expected 

credit losses on trade receivables, as prescribed under AASB 9. The balance of the allowance 
for credit losses as determined at 30 June 2018 was $21,199,556, which is $471,897 lower 
than the balance of the provision for impairment of receivables recognised in the financial 
statements at 30 June 2018. This change has been recognised in current period profit and loss, 
rather than as an adjustment to opening retained earnings or restatement of comparative 
balances as required under the transition provisions of AASB 9, as it is not considered to be 
material. The change is reflected in the rollforward of the loss allowance provided in note 7. 

(ii)  Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective. 

Relevant accounting standards and interpretations that have been issued or amended but are not yet 
effective and have not been adopted for the year are as follows, incorporating the group’s assessment 
of the likely impact of the standards on the amounts and disclosures within the financial statements in 
the period of initial application. The Group does not anticipate early adoption of any of these reporting 
requirements and unless mentioned below, does not expect them to have any material effect on the 
company’s financial statement 

AASB 16 Leases – The new standard replaces AASB 117 and requires that: 

-  All leases are ‘capitalised’ by recognising the present value of the lease payments and 

showing them either as lease assets (right-of-use assets) or together with property, plant and 
equipment.  

-  A financial liability is recognised representing obligations to make future lease payments.  

The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption.  

The financial impact of the new standard in the 2020 financial year will be dependent on the Group’s 
lease arrangements in place when the new standard is effective, and the accounting approach 
adopted. However on implementation of the new standard the Group is currently estimating an 
increase in assets and liabilities of $7.497m at 1 July 2019, increase in earnings before interest, tax, 
depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $1.686m, and a reduction in reported profit after tax of 
$0.293m for the year ended 30 June 2020.  

 (d) 

Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group as at, and for 
the period ended, 30 June each year. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, 
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns 
through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the 
Group has:  

•  Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant 

activities of the investee);  

•  Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and  
•  The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.  

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group 
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, 
including:  

•  The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; 
•  The rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and 
•  The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2019 continued 

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that 
there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary 
begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control 
of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of 
during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains 
control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.   

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their 
accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, 
equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are 
eliminated in full on consolidation. 

 (e) 

Foreign currency translation 

Both the functional and presentation currency of Site Group International Limited and its Australian 
subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). The Philippines branch’s functional currency is the Philippine 
Peso (PHP), Site Group International Pte Ltd’s functional currency is Singapore Dollars (SGD) and 
Competent Project Management Sdn Bhd’s functional currency is Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Each of 
these is translated to the presentation currency. 

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of the Asian operations are translated into Australian 
Dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and the statement of comprehensive 
income is translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange 
differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income.  

(f) 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position and in the statement of cash flows 
comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity 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. 

(g) 

Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement 

Financial assets 

Initial recognition and measurement 

Financial assets within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments are classified as at amortised cost, 
at fair value through profit and loss, or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The group 
determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. 

All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs, except financial assets 
recorded at fair value through profit or loss, on the basis of both the group’s business model for 
managing the financial assets, and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 

The Group’s financial assets include cash and short-term deposits (amortised cost), receivables from 
contracts with customers (amortised cost), other receivables (amortised costs), and quoted and 
unquoted financial instruments (fair value through profit and loss).  

Receivables from contracts with customers are recognised when the group has an unconditional right 
to consideration arising from the transfer of goods or services to the customer (i.e. only the passage 
of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Where this is not the case, the 
resultant asset is a contract asset (refer note 1a(p)).

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established 
by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, 
i.e., the date that the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Other financial assets are 
recognised if the entity becomes party to contract provisions of the asset. 

Subsequent measurement 
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as described below. 

Financial assets at amortised cost 
Subsequent to initial measurement, these assets are measured at amortised cost using the Effective 
Interest Rate (EIR) method, less allowances for credit losses. Amortised cost is calculated by taking 
into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the 
EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in interest revenue in the statement of comprehensive income. 

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss 
Subsequent to initial measurement, these assets are measured at fair value with changes in fair value 
being recognised in profit or loss as they arise. 

Derecognition 
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial 
assets) is derecognised when: 

•  The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or 
•  The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an 
obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 
“pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the 
risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained 
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. 

Impairment of financial assets at amortised cost 

The group applies the simplified expected credit loss model prescribed in AASB 9 to determine an 
allowance for expected credit losses on receivables from contracts with customers and its other 
receivables measured at amortised cost. Under this approach, the lifetime expected credit losses are 
estimated using a provision matrix based on historical losses observed on similar assets, adjusted for 
the group’s forecasts of future economic conditions. The measurement of expected credit losses 
reflects the group’s ‘expected rate of loss’, which is a product of the probability of default and the loss 
given default, and its ‘exposure at default’, which is typically the carrying amount of the relevant asset. 
The group has identified contractual payments more than 90 days past due as default events for the 
purpose of measuring expected credit losses. These default events have been selected based on the 
group’s historical experience.  

Previous accounting policy for impairment of trade receivables 
In the prior year, the impairment of trade receivables was assessed based on the incurred loss model 
as required under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The group 
assessed, whether there was any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events 
that had occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (incurred “loss event”) and that loss event 
had an impact on estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets 
that could be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may have included indications the debtor or 
group of debtors was experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or 
principal payments, probability of the debtor entering bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and 
when observable data indicated there was a measurable decrease in estimated future cash flows, 
such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Financial liabilities  

Initial recognition and measurement 
Financial liabilities within the scope of AASB 9 Financial Instruments are classified as at amortised 
cost, at fair value through profit and loss, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments as 
appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. 

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of loans and borrowings, 
directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables 
(amortised costs), loans and borrowings (amortised cost) and derivative financial instruments (fair 
value through profit and loss). 

Loans and borrowings 
After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation 
process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition 
and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance costs 
in the statement of comprehensive income. 

Derivative financial instruments 
Derivative financial instruments held by the group represent embedded conversion options on 
borrowing facilities. The embedded derivative component of the debt is required to be separated and 
accounted for as at fair value through profit and loss, with fair value gains and losses on 
remeasurement recognised in profit and loss. 

Derecognition 
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or 
expires. 

Offsetting of financial instruments 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount reported in the consolidated 
statement of financial position if, and only if:  

•  There is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts 
•  There is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities 

simultaneously 

(i) 

 Property, plant, and equipment 

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where 
applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Leasehold Improvements 
Leasehold improvements are initially shown at their cost, less subsequent depreciation. 

Plant and Equipment 
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis, less depreciation and impairment losses. 

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 company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.  

All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss during the financial period when they 
are incurred.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight-line 
basis over the asset's useful life to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for 
use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the 
lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement. 

The estimated lives used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of fixed asset 
Building and Leasehold improvements  2 – 25 years 
2 – 20 years  
Furniture and fittings 
3 – 5 years  
Computer equipment  
3 – 5 years 
Vehicles 

Estimated Life  

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

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. 
These gains or losses are included in profit or loss. 

(j) 

Leases 

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the 
arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent 
on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. 

Group as a lessee 

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

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to 
ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the 
leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are 
apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a 
constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised as 
an expense in profit or loss. Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the 
estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group 
will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.  

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease incentives are recognised as a liability 
when received and subsequently reduced by allocating lease payments between rental expense and 
reduction of the liability. 

 (k) 

 Intangible assets 

Goodwill 
Goodwill is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business combination 
exceeds the fair value attributed to the interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, and 
liabilities. After initial recognition, goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost 
less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but is subject to impairment 
testing on an annual basis or whenever there is an indication of impairment.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Training Licences and Course Material 
Site Group acquires licenced course material with significant scope (approved courses) in high risk 
training. The economic potential of these licences and courses was assessed as part of the 
acquisition price and recorded as an intangible asset which is being amortised on a straight line basis 
over five years.  

Licences 
Site Group acquires licences to offer scope of training and access to government funding options. The 
economic potential of these licences was assessed as part of the acquisition price and recorded as an 
intangible asset and amortised on a straight line basis over 20 years. 

Customer Contracts   
Site group acquires customer contracts with significant value to be realised through the profit and loss 
in future periods. The economic potential of these contracts is measured as a risk adjusted 
discounted cash flow to be generated from these contracts and recorded as an intangible asset which 
is amortised on a straight line basis over the relevant contract period. 

Brand 
Site group acquires brands that are recognised by customers in relevant markets and generate future 
activity for the company. 

The economic potential of these brands in the form of future revenue generating potential is assessed 
as a discounted cash flow and recorded as an indefinite useful life intangible and tested for 
impairment annually.  

The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life 
continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a 
prospective basis. 

(l) 

Impairment of non-financial assets 

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets 
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an 
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less 
costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s 
carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the statement of comprehensive income. 
Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.  

Where an individual asset does not independently generate cash flows, the company estimates the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

(m) 

Provisions and employee benefits 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result 
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of cash or non-cash resources will be required to settle 
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group 
expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the 
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually 
certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the statement of comprehensive income 
net of any reimbursement. 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. The increase in the provision resulting from the 
passage of time is recognised in finance costs. 

Employee leave benefits 
(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be 
wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees' services 
up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities 
are settled. Based on historical evidence no discounting of annual leave has been applied. Expenses 
for non-accumulating sick leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the 
rates paid or payable. Liabilities for wages, salaries and annual leave are recognised as current 
liabilities and the group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months. 

(ii) Long service leave 
The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected 
future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees once an employee reaches 
five years of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting 
date on the applicable corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currencies that match, the 
estimated future cash outflows. Where the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the 
liability beyond 12 months of the balance date, the provision is classified as non-current. Otherwise, 
the provision is classified as a current liability. 

 (n) 

Taxes 

Income tax 
Current 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 the tax authorities.  The tax rates and tax laws used to 
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 

Deferred Tax  
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the 
reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial 
reporting purposes. 

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: 

•  When the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an 

asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the 
transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss. 

•  When the taxable temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, 
associates or interests in joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal of the temporary 
difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in 
the foreseeable future. 

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

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

•  When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises 
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business 
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor 
taxable profit or loss 

•  When the deductible temporary difference is associated with investments in subsidiaries, 

associates or interests in joint ventures, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised 
to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable 
future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference 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. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed 
each reporting date and are recognised to the extent it has become probable that future taxable profit 
will allow recovery of the deferred tax asset. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to 
the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that 
have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred 
tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current tax assets against current 
tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority. 

Tax consolidation legislation 
Site Group International Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented 
the tax consolidation legislation. The head entity, Site Group International Limited and the controlled 
entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax 
amounts. The Group has applied the group allocation approach in determining the appropriate 
amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. 

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Site Group International 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 differences between the amounts assumed and the amounts receivable or payable under the tax 
funding agreement are recognised as contributions to (or distribution from) wholly owned tax 
consolidated entities. 

Goods and services tax (GST) 
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where 
the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Tax Office. In these circumstances, the GST 
is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. 
Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST. GST receivable and 
payable has been offset against one another. Commitments are shown net of GST. 

In the statement of cash flows, receipts from customers are shown inclusive of GST and payments to 
suppliers and employees are shown inclusive of GST and GST recovered from the tax office is shown 
in receipts from customers.

Revenue recognition 

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised either at a point in time or over time depending 
on the nature of the contract, including the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the 
transfer of control to the customer. The group’s contracts with customers fall into the following 
categories:

Method Used to 
Determine Progress 
Towards Complete 
Satisfaction of 
Performance Obligation 

An output method is used 
being contact days 
elapsed as a percentage 
of total contact days. This 
is considered the most 
appropriate basis for 
recognition of revenue as 
it is readily observable 
and sufficiently linked to 
the performance 
obligations specified in 
the contract.   

An input method is used, 
based on the amount of 
contract costs incurred as 
a percentage of budgeted 
contract costs  

An output method is 
applied based on either 
time elapsed, units 
delivered, or milestones 
reached dependent on 
the terms of the individual 
contracts. Control is 
considered to pass in a 
manner consistent with 
measurement provided 
by this method.   

An output method (time 
elapsed on percentage of 
total time) is used. This 
reflects the expectation of 
consistency in transfer of 
services over the contract 
period for labour 
services.

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Contracts with customers do not typically involve a significant financing component. Course fee 
contracts may specify an entitlement to receive a portion of the contract value in advance of services 
being provided, however the period of time between payment being received and course delivery is 
generally not greater than 12 months. Amounts received in advance of services being provided are 
recognised as contract liabilities (refer note 1a(p)). 

No disclosure has been made within the financial statements of the aggregate amount of the 
transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as 
of the end of the reporting period, as these performance obligations relate to contracts that have an 
original expected duration of one year or less. 

There are no elements of consideration under any of the above revenue streams that are variable in 
nature.  

(p)  

Contract assets and contract liabilities 

Contract assets represent the group’s right to consideration (not being an unconditional right 
recognised as a receivable) in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. Contract 
assets are measured at the amount of consideration that the group expects to be entitled in exchange 
for goods or services transferred to the customer. 

Contract liabilities represent the group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer for 
which the group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. 
Amounts recorded as contract liabilities are subsequently recognised as revenue when the group 
transfers the contracted goods or services to the customer. 

(q) 

Comparative figures 

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for 
the current financial year where required by accounting standards or as a result of changes in 
accounting policy. Disclosure of the amounts and basis for such changes is made, where material, in 
note 1a(c)(i) and note 11.  

 (r) 

Share-based payment transactions 

The Group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of 
share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over 
shares (equity settled transactions). Site Group currently has an Employee Share Plan (ESP), which 
provides benefits to directors and all eligible employees. The cost of these equity-settled transactions 
with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at 
which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using a binomial model, further details of 
which are given in note 16.  

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, 
over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), 
ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting 
date). At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to profit or loss is the 
product of: 

•  The grant date fair value of the award;

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

•  The current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such 

factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of 
non- market performance conditions being met; and 

•  The expired portion of the vesting period. 

The charge to profit or loss for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the 
amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity. The expense 
associated with equity-settled awards granted by Site Group to employees of subsidiaries are 
recorded as an expense in the subsidiary and funded by advances from the parent which eliminate on 
consolidation. The expense recognised by the Group is the total expense associated with all awards. 

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer 
awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition or non- 
vesting condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition or non- 
vesting is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied. 

(s) 

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 as applicable, from the proceeds. 

(t) 

Fair value measurement 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are 
categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that 
is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: 

•  Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
•  Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair 

value measurement is directly or indirectly observable 

•  Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair 

value measurement is unobservable  

The Group measures derivative financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (refer note 
1a(h)) on a recurring basis. The valuation of these derivatives involves the use of unobservable inputs 
(level 3), which are detailed together with a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of these 
liabilities throughout the period in note 17. 

The carrying values of other financial assets and financial liabilities as disclosed in note 23 
approximate their fair values. 

Note 1b  

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually 
evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue 
and expenses. Management bases its judgements and estimates on historical experience and on 
other various factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result which form the 
basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that aren’t readily apparent from other sources.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 

Management has identified the following critical accounting policies for which significant judgements, 
estimates and assumptions are made. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different 
assumptions and conditions and may materially affect financial results or the financial position 
reported in future periods. 

Further details may be found in the relevant notes to the financial statements 

(a) 

Significant accounting judgements 

Recovery of deferred tax assets 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only when management 
considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax 
assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits 
together with future tax planning strategies. 

Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill and indefinite life intangibles 

The Group assesses impairment of assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to 
the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These include technology, 
economic and political environments and future product expectations. If an impairment trigger exists, 
the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Given the current uncertain economic 
environment management considered that the indicators of impairment were significant enough and 
as such these assets have been tested for impairment in this financial period, refer below. 

(b) 

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions 

Impairment of non-current assets 

The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are impaired at 
least on an annual basis. Further, the Group considers whether other non-current assets are impaired 
whenever there is an indication that impairment may exist. This requires an estimation of the 
recoverable amount of the cash generating units, using a value in use discounted cash flow 
methodology, to which the goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are allocated.  

An impairment loss of $Nil was recognised in the current year in respect of goodwill and brand (2018: 
$3,797,413). The assumptions used in this estimation of recoverable amount and the carrying amount 
of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives are discussed in note 9. 

Revenue recognition – Course fees 

The Group recognises the revenue earned from delivery of a course over the period of the course that 
the service is provided. Where the duration of the course is extended this is recorded as contract 
revenue on the statement of financial position. In calculating the amount of contract revenue, 
consideration is also given to the probability of reversals and student refunds and the impact on the 
level of income recorded.

Operating Segments  

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it 
may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions 
with other components of the same entity), whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the 
entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the 
segment and assess its performance and for which discrete financial information is available.  

The Group has organised its business into four separate units based on the products and services 
offered – the Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”), being the directors and executive 
management of the Group, review the results on this basis.  

The four reportable business segments of the Group are: 

-  Site Skills Training - Domestic which delivers vocational training and assessment services 
through five training facilities located at Perth, Gladstone, Darwin, Landsborough and Logan. 
At these locations our experienced team assesses, up-skills and trains industry experienced 
candidates in the mining and processing, oil and gas, construction, camp services, 
hospitality and logistic sectors. 

-  Site Skills Training - International operates a 300,000m2 facility at Clark Freeport Zone in 
the Philippines allowing the company to deliver Australian standard training in a low cost and 
controlled environment. This facility has the capacity to complete large scale residential 
training programs customised to meet client specific requirements. This division also 
incorporates Site WorkReady being the recruitment and assessment division for international 
clients. 

-  Energy Services refers to the establishment of specialised energy training and services 

delivered to the Oil and Gas industry. 

-  Tertiary Education delivers Diploma and certificate level courses at Site’s campuses in 

Australia through the Site Institute brand and also English language courses and 
conferences internationally through the TESOL Asia business. 

The CODM monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purposes of making 
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is 
evaluated based on operating profit/loss consistent with the operating profit/loss in the consolidated 
financial statements. Group financing and corporate overheads are managed on a group basis and 
not allocated to operating segments. Transfer prices between the operating segments are on an arm’s 
length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. 

The following is an analysis of the revenue and results for the period, analysed by reportable 
operating unit:

Total current trade and other receivables

Trade receivables includes an amount of $20,977,645, representing a portion of a total reconciliation 
payment of $28,969,145 receivable from the Commonwealth Government Department of Education 
and Training (DET) for services performed prior to 30 June 2017. The difference of $7,991,500 was 
impaired in an earlier period, which should not be taken as an assertion by the Group that the Group 
is not entitled to this amount.  

In light of the uncertain circumstances with regard to the reconciliation payment, Management took 
the decision to write down the full debtor value in the accounts at 30 June 2017, while maintaining the 
position that the group was entitled to the full reconciliation amount. In December 2017, the Group 
received $4,869,133 of the amount outstanding and was then advised by DET it would accept further 
submissions from the Group for the balance.

Note 7  

Trade and Other Receivables continued 

Following the provision of these submissions, the Group was advised that DET had decided against 
making the payment, without providing any legislative justification. The Group will pursue all  
remedies available to it through the court process to compel the DET to pay the outstanding amount. 
During the comparative year ended 30 June 2018 the provision was written back by $4,990,133 
following tuition re-credits and the DET payment received as noted above. 

The expected loss rate for this balance (refer below) has been set at 100% in light of the uncertain 
circumstances with regard to the reconciliation payment. The loss allowance will be re-assessed as 
the matter progresses and does not in any way alter the belief of the Board and Management that the 
Group is entitled to the full reconciliation amount of $28,969,145 in full and that the monies are 
legitimately due and payable under the relevant legislation as it then applied. 

a) Allowance for expected credit losses 

As described in note 1a(h), the group applies the simplified expected credit loss model prescribed in 
AASB 9 to determine an allowance for expected credit losses on its receivables from contracts with 
customers (trade receivables) and contract assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade 
receivables and contract assets have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and 
the days past due. The contract assets have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade 
receivables for the same types of contracts. The group has therefore concluded that the expected 
loss rates for trade receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract 
assets. 

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles for sales over a period of 3 years before 
30 June 2019 and 1 July 2018 respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced 
within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward looking 
macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has 
identified forecasts GDP growth conditions to be the most relevant factor, and accordingly adjusts the 
historical loss rates based on expected change in this factor.  

The tables below show the calculation of the expected credit loss provision at both 30 June 2019 and 
1 July 2018.

Other receivables are excluded from the above analysis as these represent balances due from 
taxation authorities for which the expected loss rate is 0%. 

b) Related party receivables 

For terms and conditions of related party receivables refer to note 17. 

c) Fair value and credit risk 

Due to the short-term nature of these receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair 
value. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the fair value of receivables. Collateral is not held as 
security, nor is it the Group’s policy to transfer (on-sell) receivables to special purpose entities. 

At 30 June 2019, Group receivables, before allowance for expected credit losses, included one customer 
that owed $20,977,645 (as noted above).  

d) Foreign exchange and interest rate risk 

Detail regarding foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposure is disclosed in note 23.

Finance Leases 

The carrying value of vehicles held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts at 30 June 2019 
was $173,397 (2018: $233,962). No additions of vehicles under hire purchase contracts were made 
during the year (2018: $162,599) Leased assets and assets under hire purchase contracts are 
pledged as security for the related finance lease and hire purchase liability.  

(c)  

Impairment Testing 

Impairment testing was completed on the Site Skills Training – International cash-generating unit 
(CGU) at 30 June 2019, to which $7,299,871 of the property, plant and equipment balance above is 
allocated. The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined based on value-in-use calculations. 
Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of future cash flow projections over a five-year 
period including a terminal value calculation. 

The projected cash flows used to determine value-in-use reflected the latest budgets. Key inputs into 
the impairment model included a pre-tax discount rate of 17%, annual revenue growth rate over the 5 
year forecast period of 10%, annual EBITDA margin of 15%, and a terminal growth rate of 0%.  

As a result of this analysis, management did not recognise an impairment charge.  

The calculation of value in use for the CGU’s is most sensitive to changes in forecast revenue growth 
and the discount rate. Removal of any average annual revenue growth rate or a decrease in the 
annual EBITDA margin percentage to 10% would result in an impairment charge being recognised.

Intangible Assets continued 

b) 

Impairment 

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its 
recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and 
value in use. 

The recoverable amount of goodwill and brand name is determined based on value-in-use 
calculations. Value-in-use is calculated based on the present value of future cash flow projections 
over a five-year period including a terminal value calculation.  

The cash-generating unit with a significant amount of goodwill is the Tertiary Education unit, as shown 
in the table below:

Tertiary Education cash-generating unit 

The Group used the cash-generating unit’s value-in-use to determine the recoverable amount. The 
projected cash flows were updated to reflect the latest budgets and a pre-tax discount rate of 17% (30 
June 2018: 16.6%) was applied. The terminal growth rate applied is 0% (30 June 2018: 0%).  

As a result of this analysis, management did not recognise an impairment charge.  

The calculation of value in use for the Tertiary Education CGU is most sensitive to the changes in 
forecast gross margins and the discount rate. No reasonably possible change in forecast gross 
margins or the discount rate applied would have resulted in an impairment of the CGU carrying value 
at 30 June 2019. 

Energy Services cash-generating unit 

In the period to 30 June 2018, the business for Wild Geese International Pty Ltd changed such that 
the Group sought to reassess impairment for the non-current assets (primarily goodwill) in the Energy 
Services cash-generating unit. The Group used the cash-generating unit’s value-in-use to determine 
the recoverable amount, which exceeded the carrying amount. The projected cash flows were 
updated to reflect the latest budgets and a pre-tax discount rate of 17% was applied. The terminal 
growth rate applied was 0%  

As a result of the analysis, management recognised an impairment charge of $3,797,413 against 
goodwill and brand in the year ended 30 June 2018. The impairment charge is recorded in other 
expenses in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Non-current trade payables and accruals balances include commission payable to agents on receipt 
of the reconciliation payment receivable from the DET (see note 7).  

The non-current accruals account also includes $475,352 representing executive STI bonuses 
payable on receipt of the reconciliation payment receivable from the DET. 

Amounts have been classified as non-current as the Group has no contractual obligation to settle the 
liabilities unless payment of the outstanding receivable due from the Commonwealth Government as 
per note 7 is received. Although the Group intends to pursue recovery of the outstanding receivable in 
full, as such recovery action is at the discretion of the Group, the directors are satisfied that an 
unconditional right of deferral exists for the liabilities until such time as the debtor is received.

Due to the short-term nature of these payables, their carrying value is assumed to

The amount of the contract liability recognised at the beginning of the period was recognised as

•  On 18 September 2017, the Company completed the issue of 41,586,531 shares at $0.04 per share 
in settlement of outstanding loans payable to Directors. Agreements for conversion of debt to equity 
were signed prior to 30 June 2017, subject to the necessary shareholder approval which was granted

were accounted for as at 30 June 2017 as the subsequent shareholder approval was considered to 
be merely a governance exercise.

(a)   Employee share plan 
In November 2011 the Shareholders approved the establishment of an Employee Share Plan that 
would enable employees, directors and eligible associates to subscribe for shares in the Company. 
Under the terms of the plan an eligible person is offered shares in the Company at a price determined 
by the board with a corresponding interest free loan to assist the person to subscribe for the shares.  

The shares are escrowed in two tranches with 50% being escrowed for a minimum of 12 months and 
50% being escrowed for a minimum of 24 months. Subsequent to these minimum restriction periods, 
the shares are available for release from escrow (i.e. a vested and exercisable option) on the 
repayment of the loan, and subject to continuation of employment (including acting as an associate or 
director) at the time of repayment. 

For accounting purposes these shares are treated as if these were share options, as whilst the shares 
have been issued to the employee their rights to access the shares are subject to both a time based 
requirement (continued employment to escrow dates) and valuation uncertainty (share price exceeds 
issue price at date of escrow release). Accordingly, shares issued under the plan are valued using a 
Black Scholes Option Valuation model with the expense being recognised over the escrow period as 
a share based payment. A summary of shares issued under the plan are below: 

Outstanding at the beginning of the period 
Granted during the period 
Forfeited during the period 
Expired during the period 
Outstanding at the end of the period 
Exercisable (vested)at the end of the period

All shares issued prior to the current year are exercisable at 20 cents per share (5,000,000 
shares),and have no remaining contractual life as their expiry date has passed prior to the start of the 
comparative period. As these shares are to former and current directors, the board has elected to 
leave these shares as currently exercisable until they are cancelled and bought back following 
approval of shareholder at the next general meeting. A new issue of shares under the plan was 
completed on 8 March 2019 on the following terms:

 (b)   Employee sign-on and bonus shares 

From time to time the Group issues shares to employees as an incentive for accepting employment 
with the group. Shares are issued at the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Group’s stock 
trading for the period prior to issuance. Shares are subject to escrow periods which vary depending 
on the contracts with the employee, and the value of the shares is recognised as an expense over the 
escrow period subject to continuing employment with the Group. No such shares have been issued in 
either the current or comparative financial years.  

(c)   Share-based payments to service providers 
No share-based payment arrangements were entered into with service providers in the current period 
or prior period.

On 21 June 2018, the Company announced a financing facility of US$4million with Punta Properties, 
a company associated with Non-Executive Director Nicasio Alcantara. Repayment of funds drawn 
under the facility will be via cash or equity to be issued at the last issue price of 4 cents per share 
subject to approval of shareholders. The potential settlement of the loan balance (which is variable, 
based on the loan being denominated in a currency other than the group’s functional currency of 
Australian dollars) through issuance of shares represents an embedded derivative liability. Interest 
charged on the loan will be at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. 

On initial drawdown of the loan during the period, the group recognised the following derivative 
financial liabilities:

In addition, the Company and Punta Properties agreed to a performance based incentive to develop 
and execute an optimisation plan for the Group’s Philippines assets, associated businesses and 
international expansion. This incentive is payable on the total project value achieved from the 
optimisation plan at 5% of the total project value achieved. Should the plan reach a total project value 
of US$30m a further 5% fee of the gross value is payable to Mr Alcantara. There is no retainer 
applicable or payable to this agreement. The agreement will be subject to shareholder approval at the 
next general meeting of shareholders. 

The incentive represents a contingent liability to the group, and the group’s obligation in respect of the 
incentive will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future obligating event, 
being the execution of an optimisation plan. It is not considered possible to reliably estimate the 
amount of the possible obligation at this point in time, having regard to the degree of uncertainty in 
such estimation. Uncertainties relate to the amount of timing of any outflow include the type of 
optimisation transaction, time for such transaction occurring, and estimated total project value.

longer included in the ‘tertiary education’ segment of the segment note. The results of Productivity

As noted in the Directors report, the ACCC has commenced civil proceedings against Site, 
Productivity Partners and two former executives in relation to enrolment practices of Productivity 
Partners. An estimate of the financial effect of the matter has not been disclosed as it is not yet 
practicable to determine such an estimate, having regard to the timing of proceedings (the case is not 
to be heard until the end of the next financial year), and the prevailing uncertainty surrounding the 
outcome of these proceedings.

(a) Liquidity Risk 

The tables below reflect an undiscounted contractual maturity analysis for financial liabilities. Cash 
flows realised from financial assets reflect management’s expectation as to the timing of realisation. 
Actual timing may therefore differ from that disclosed. The timing of cash flows presented in the table  
to settle financial liabilities, reflect the earliest contractual settlement dates and do not reflect 
management’s expectations that banking facilities will be rolled forward.

The outflow indicated above within 1 year will be funded via the capital raising of 3,750,000 completed 
subsequent to year end disclosed in note 25 and drawdowns on the $US4million loan facility available 
and unused at 30 June 2019, the terms of which are disclosed in note 17. The outflow in subsequent 
years is attributable to financial liabilities which will only require settlement where a corresponding 
inflow of economic benefits is received in settlement of fully impaired receivables, as disclosed in note 
7. 

(b)   Interest rate risk 

The Group's exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's holding of cash as 
borrowings are under fixed interest agreements. The following table depicts the sensitivity of the 
Group’s results to reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

Financial Risk Management continued 

(c)   Foreign currency risk 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will 
fluctuate because of change in foreign exchange rate. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk 
on cash balances held in US Dollars (USD). At 30 June 2019 the Group had total cash and cash 
equivalents denominated in USD of USD 117,693 (2018: USD 547,263).  

The following table shows the foreign currency risk on the financial assets and liabilities of the 
Group’s operations denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the operations.

(d)   Price risk  

The group is not materially exposed to price risk. 

(e)   Credit risk 

Credit risk arises from the financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and short-term 
deposits, receivables from contracts with customers, other receivables, and quoted and unquoted 
financial instruments. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises from potential default of the 
counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of the financial assets (as 
outlined in each applicable note). 

The Group does not hold any credit derivatives to offset its credit exposure. 

The Group trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties, and as such collateral is not 
requested nor is it the Group’s policy to securitise its receivables from contracts with customers and 
other receivables. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result 
that the Group’s experience of bad debts has not been significant. 

The group determines an allowance for expected credit losses at each reporting date. Details of this 
allowance and the basis on which it has been determined are outlined in note 7.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Site Group International Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We  have  audited  the  financial  report  of  Site  Group  International  Limited  (“the  Company”)  and  its 
controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 
30  June  2019,  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of 
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 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) 

(b) 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its 
financial performance for the year then ended; and  
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 “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

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

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

Key Audit Matters  

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

Application of the going concern assumption

The Directors have concluded that in 
their  opinion  there  are  reasonable 
grounds to believe that the Group has 
the  ability  to  pay  its  debts  as  and 
when  they  fall  due  and  realise  the 
value  of  the  assets  in  the  ordinary 
course of business.

Accordingly  they  have  prepared  the 
financial  statements  on  a  going

1a(b).

statements.  Assertions  made  by  the 
Directors in forming their conclusion, 
including  forecast  cash  flows  and 
unused  borrowing  facilities,  are  key 
elements  of  this  assessment  and 
considerable  audit  attention  was 
directed to verifying these.  

Accordingly, our consideration of this 
matter and the related disclosures is 
considered to be a key audit matter. 

Australian 

Key Audit Matter 
Impairment testing for non-current assets 
Refer to note 1b, note 8(c), and note 9(b) 
Impairment  testing  for  goodwill  is 
required  to  be  completed  annually 
under 
Accounting 
Standard  AASB  136  Impairment  of 
Assets.  This  standard  also  requires 
impairment  testing  to  be  conducted 
for  other  non-current  assets  where 
there is an indicator that those assets 
may be impaired. Impairment testing 
was  completed  over  non-current 
assets  with  a  combined  value  of 
$7.884m.  

 

the  Group’s 

Impairment  testing  for  non-current 
assets is a key audit matter due to the 
percentage  of 
total 
assets  subject  to  impairment  testing 
(45%),  and  the  degree  of  estimation 
and  assumptions  (as  disclosed  in 
note 8(c) and note 9(b)) required to be 
made  by 
the  Group,  specifically 
concerning discounted cash flows.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter  

Our procedures included, amongst others: 
  Obtaining an understanding of the entity  level controls in 
place directed at ensuring the Group continues to operate 
as  a  going  concern,  and  evaluating  the  design  and 
implementation of those controls; 
Evaluating  whether  the  Directors’  conclusions  regarding 
the  going  concern  assumption  were  supported  by 
management’s going concern assessment, including cash 
flow forecasts; 
Agreeing the cash flow forecast used in the going concern 
assessment to the FY20 budget; 
Assessing  key  inputs  into  the  cash  flow  forecast  by 
comparing  them  to  historical  actual  results,  assumptions 
and  estimates  used  elsewhere  in  the  preparation  of  the 
financial  statements,  and  customer  commitments, 
contracts,  or  other  available 
information  supporting 
forecast cash flows; 

 

 

  Confirming the amount of commitments for subscription of 
capital received by the group subsequent to balance date; 
  Considering  the  historical  reliability  of  the  Group’s  cash 

flow forecasting process; 

  Considering  the  range  of  cash  flow  sensitivities  to  the 

 

 

conclusion reached by the directors; 
Assessing  the  possible  mitigating  actions  identified  by 
management in the event that actual cash flows are below 
forecast, including verification of unused financing facilities 
to loan agreements; and 
Assessing  the  adequacy  of  the  disclosures  made  by  the 
Directors  regarding  the  going  concern  assumption  and 
available financing. 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Our procedures included, amongst others: 
  Obtaining  an  understanding  of  the  controls  over  the 
valuation of non-current assets, and evaluating the design 
and implementation of those controls;  

  Checking 

the  Board 
the  mathematical  accuracy  of 
approved  FY20  cash  flow  forecasts  and  methodology  of 
the impairment model; 

  Confirming  consistency  of 

the 

impairment 

testing 
calculations  and  inputs  applied  by  the  group  with  the 
requirements of AASB 136; 
Assessing  the  key  assumptions  within  the  impairment 
testing  calculations  including  forecast  cash  flows,  growth 
rates, discount rates and terminal values; 
Applying our knowledge of the business and corroborated 
our work with external information where possible; 
Performing  sensitivity  analysis  in  respect  of  the  key 
assumptions  and  assessing  the  potential  impact  of 
reasonably possible change to those assumptions; and 
Assessing the adequacy of disclosures.

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information 
included in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial 
report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our  opinion  on  the  financial  report  does  not  cover  the  other  information  and  accordingly  we  do  not 
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information 
and,  in  doing  so,  consider  whether  the  other  information  is  materially  inconsistent  with  the  financial 
report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

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

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

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

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

 

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

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

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

  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

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.
