Time:

Location:

Managing Director and CEO Letter 

Results  for  Site  Group  International  Limited  show  a  revenue  line  of  $27,259,059 compared  to 
$30,913,290 in the prior corresponding period. 

The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was a loss of $5,476,962 
compared to a loss of $4,495,157 in the prior corresponding period. 

Both of these years’ results have included material expenditure on legal fees and significant executive 
time dealing with the associated proceedings.  

In a year where Site reached the milestone of 200,000 enrolments across the group, the results continue 
to be impacted by the ongoing legal action with the regulator, the associated legal costs and the impact 
on some customers. Additionally, the unexpected impact of COVID-19 on industries around the world 
have substantially impacted face to face contact. As a provider of essential services to industry, Site 
has continued with significant training albeit at reduced numbers and margins.     

Site  remains  confident  in  its  position  surrounding  its  commitment  to  continuous  improvement  and 
meeting industries needs for a suitably trained workforce. 

Regulatory Actions 

Litigation with regulatory bodies ACCC in the Federal Court in June and ASQA in the Administrative 
Appeals Tribunal in July remain in process with decisions expected possibly this year. Site has no view 
as towards outcome or possible further actions or appeals by any parties involved.  

COVID-19 

As  previously  announced  and  as  shareholders  are  aware,  COVID-19  has  had  significant  effects  in 
economies around the world.  

Site continues to provide services in most jurisdictions albeit in reduced or intermittent delivery in some 
places such as Philippines, Myanmar and PNG. Overall International revenues have decreased by 24%, 
however recent renewals of contracts in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for 2 years providing revenues of 
circa AUD$7.5m and likely renewal of Engineering Work Experience Program (EWEP) in Myanmar are 
encouraging.  Site  has  also  renewed  negotiations  with  GE  for  Clark  based  technician  programs 
throughout FY2021.

Site has reasonable expectations of further significant training contracts in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 
and  Bahrain  with  additional  early  stage  discussions  in  several  other  countries  in  the  region. 
Expectations are that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions will lead to significant growth 
for the international business including the delivery of a Safe Live Process Plant (SLPP) in FY2021. 

Site has also renewed negotiations with GE for Clark based technician programs throughout FY2021 

In Australia, the essential nature of the Industry based programs is seeing significant return towards 
previous levels of training required to service Australia’s largest resources projects.   

Clark Property 

As previously announced Site is pursuing the potential development of its Clark leasehold 30 hectare 
property as part of it strategy to maximise international assets values. Whilst the progress has been 
interrupted by COVID-19 and the closure of Government offices in the region, there are now signs of 
the  agencies  located  outside  Metro  Manila  returning  to  work.  There  is  also  a  return  to  commercial 
discussions around the property and Clark in general with several parties renewing discussions around 
partnering and investing in the project. 

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.

Table 1 Financial Summary 

For  the  year  ended  30  June  2020,  Site  Group  International  Limited  reported  a  loss  after  tax  of 
$10,264,692 compared to  an after tax loss of $4,742,968 in the previous corresponding period. The 
earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation  and  amortisation  (EBITDA)  was  a  loss  of  $5,476,962 
($4,380,962 excluding non-recurring impairment) compared to a loss of $4,495,157.   

These results include material expenditure on legal fees and significant executive time dealing with the 
associated  proceedings.  Site’s  dispute  with  the  Australian  Skills  Quality  Authority  (ASQA)  in  the 
Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) was recently heard, as well as the Federal Court hearing with 
the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) litigation. Site is waiting the outcomes 
of both hearings.   

As a consequence of the impairment taken in the previous financial years, 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 will not result 
in an outflow of funds from the Group unless the DET receivable is collected. 

Site  has  expended  and  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.  

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 optimisation of the Clark asset remains a core focus 
however the development timetable has been extended due to the impact of COVID-19 on the global 
and Philippines economy.

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  impacted  primarily  by  ongoing  regulatory  uncertainty  between 
SSG and the ASQA and the global occurrence of COVID-19. While SST revenue has been negatively 
impacted, with a year-on-year reduction of 7% to $11,938,341 from $12,866,083 in the previous period, 
primarily as a result of contracts suspended or missed due to the regulatory uncertainty, SST 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.  In  June,  SST  reached  the  milestone  of  200,000 
enrolments in Australia.  

EBITDA  was  a  loss  of  $1,518,195  compared  to  an  EBITDA  loss  of  1,728,678  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  expanding  the  number  and 
amount of courses being delivered fully or partially online.   

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 24% reduction in revenue to $9,584,526 in the 12 months to June 2020, 
compared  with  $12,658,371  in  the  prior  year.  EBITDA  was  $847,389  compared  with  an  EBITDA  of 
$682,394 in the prior year. The reduction in revenues a direct result of the impact of COVID-19. 

To  date  SST  International  has  provided  education  and  training  services  to  countries  including  the 
Philippines,  PNG,  Myanmar,  Saudi  Arabia,  Bahrain,  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,  Lychapodium,  and  Clough  receiving 
regular services. Additionally, Site WorkReady is increasing the provision of skilled trades people for 
markets in Australia, New Zealand and Africa. 

The  National  Construction  Training  Center  (NCTC)  in  Nairyah  has  been  operating  since  September 
2017 servicing the training needs of construction companies across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The 
College delivered courses online through 2020 in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and shut down.

Operating and financial review continued 

A 2 year extension on the contract is currently being negotiated and will allow for the continued 
delivery and output aligns well with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. So far well over 1,000 graduates are 
now in meaningful long-term employment. 

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 to $1,973,419 (2019: $3,639,017) with an EBITDA loss 
of $292,210 (2019: EBITDA $211,651). The reduction in commodity prices and COVID-19 contributed 
to the significant reduction in EBITDA and revenue. 

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. 

Site  continues  to  investigate  expansion  of  its  Safe  Live  Process  Plant  (SLPP)  and  technician 
development plan in Singapore, Bahrain and KSA as new opportunities arise. Training in Myanmar is 
expected to return in the last quarter of the calendar year.  

Additionally,  Site  has  announced  the  signing  of  a  Memorandum  of  Understanding  with  Bahrain 
Polytechnic for an important program to develop the skills and graduates of the Polytechnic as well as 
major Bahrain industries. Programs will be jointly developed through utilisation of Site Safe Live Process 
Plant.   

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 37% to $3,591,170  in 2020,  up from  $2,614,754 in 
2019. EBITDA improved by 468% to $625,282 compared to an EBITDA of $110,138 in 2019, as the 
scale of the business improves on the back of increased student number and enrolments 

Student numbers studying in Australia continue to grow with over 300 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. During the financial year, TESOL management focused on 
online courses conferences and seminars. The investment in online TESOL courses and conferences, 
and a number of strategic alliances are expected to further grow revenues with new emerging markets 
interested in online delivery.

Operating and financial review continued 

Cash position 

At 30 June 2020, the Company had cash reserves of $1,246,819 and a net current asset deficiency of 
$4,858,302. No amount is reflected in the balance sheet for the receivable 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 a financing facility with Punta Properties for 
$US4,000,000 which is drawn to $US2,900,000 and on 31 December 2019 drew down the A$2,000,000 
of the facility agreement with Lucerne Investment Partners.  

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. 

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

Risk 

Details 

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. 

Natural 
catastrophe 

Foreign 
judgements 

Material 
arrangements 

Geographic 
concentration 

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.

2021 Outlook  

In a year where Site reached the milestone of 200,000 enrolments, the results continue to be impacted 
by  the  ongoing  legal  action  with  the  regulator,  the  associated  legal  costs  and  the  impact  on  some 
customers.  Additionally,  the  unexpected  impact  of  COVID-19  on  industries  around  the  world  have 
substantially  impacted  face  to  face  contact.  As  a  provider  of  essential  services  to  industry,  Site  has 
continued with significant training albeit at reduced numbers and margins.  

Site  remains  confident  in  its  position  surrounding  its  commitment  to  continuous  improvement  and 
meeting industries needs for a suitable trained workforce. 

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. As previously announced Site is investigating the potential development of its 
Clark leasehold 30 hectare property. Whilst the progress has been interrupted by COVID-19 and the 
closure of Government offices there is now signs of return to work in agencies located outside Metro 
Manila. There is also a return to commercial discussions around the property and Clark in general with 
several parties renewing discussions around partnering and investing in the project.

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 prior 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 
20 to the financial report.  

As at 3 September 2020, there are 7,450,000 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 

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, Pitcher Partners, as 
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.

Remuneration Report (audited) 

This remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2020 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 2020 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 
•  Nicasio Alcantara – Non-Executive Director 
•  Peter Jones – Non- Executive Director

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. 

Vernon  Wills  is  employed  as  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  through  a  services  contract  with  Wayburn 
Holdings Pty Limited on consistent terms with other executives. No sign on shares were granted. 

Escrowed shares are issued at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee from time to time.

Details of remuneration 

Details of the remuneration of each director of the Company and the specified executive 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 FY20 and FY19 0% 
was earned and 100% forfeited because the service criteria were 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.

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 1,000,000 shares under the plan during the prior 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 2020 

As noted earlier the company is actively developing its core business in Asia and Australia in addition 
to the maximisation of the Clark property. Executive Remuneration is targeted at attracting and retaining 
quality  people  to  lead  the  Company  through  this  phase  and  on  to  profitability.  The  Company  has 
incurred  losses  since  2017  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  regulatory  actions 
currently in progress and the COVID-19 pandemic

Remuneration Report (audited) continued 

The impact of the impairments reported in 2020, 2018 and 2017, closure of the PP business and action 
currently taken by the regulator, the associated legal costs and the impact on some customers continue 
to significantly impact the share price and reported earnings per share. Additionally, the unexpected 
impact of COVID-19 on industries around the world has substantially impacted face to face delivery of 
training.  

The  leadership  team  are  focused  on  continuing  to  grow  the  core  business  revenue,  adapting  to  the 
current market environment, controlling costs and growing earnings. 

Approval of the FY19 Remuneration Report 

At the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 28 November 2019, the FY19 remuneration report 
was adopted by the shareholders with a vote of 98.9% in favour. 

Loan from Director related entity – Wayburn Holdings Pty Ltd 

During  the  current  and  comparative  periods,  the  group  made  use  of  an  unsecured  loan  facility  with 
Wayburn Holdings Pty Ltd, a company associated with Managing Director and CEO Mr Vernon Wills. 

The loan facility limit was $2.35m to 31 December 2016, and $1.32m from that point, repayable on the 
earlier of collection of the receivable from the Commonwealth Department of Education and Training 
(refer note 7) or February 2018.  

During the current period the facility interest rate was reviewed and updated from a fixed rate of 7% per 
annum to 10% per annum. The rate change brings the loan facility interest rate in line with the interest 
rate applied to other related party loans. The rate change was applied to the lifetime of the loan resulting 
in an interest accrual totalling $241,763.  

The remaining loan balance was paid in full resulting in $nil owing at period end.

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 

material information about a director being re-elected is provided to security holders; 

•  ensure a balance of authority so that no single individual has unfettered powers; 
•  ensure the Company enter in to written agreements with each director and senior executive 

setting out the terms of their appointment; 

•  ensure the company secretary be accountable directly to the board, through the chair, on 

all matters to do with the proper functioning of the board; 

•  establish a policy concerning diversity, that should include a requirement for the board to:  

o  establish measurable objectives for gender diversity;  
o  assess annually the objectives set for achieving gender diversity; and 
o  assess annually the progress made towards achieving the objectives set; and 
•  evaluate the performance of senior executives, the board, committees and individual 

directors. 

The board of Site Group International Limited are responsible for: 

•  establishment of long term goals and strategic plans to achieve those goals; 
• 

the review and adoption of the annual business plan and budgets for the financial performance 
of the Company and monitoring the results on a monthly basis; 

•  appointment and removal of the chief executive officer; 
•  ensuring that the Company has implemented adequate systems of internal controls together 

with appropriate monitoring of compliance activities; and 
the approval of the annual and half yearly financial statements and reports. 

• 

These and other responsibilities are detailed in the approved Board Charter approved in February 2012.

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 2020 is set out in the Directors’ Report. 

In  2020  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.

Corporate Governance Statement continued 

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 
2020 year is set out in the Directors’ Report. In 2020 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.

Corporate Governance Statement continued 

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 2020 year is set out in the Directors’ 
Report. 

In 2020 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 2020 

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 2020 was authorised for issue in accordance with a 
resolution of the directors on 29 September 2020. 

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 and unless otherwise stated are rounded to the 
nearest dollar. 

 (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 

For the financial year ended 30 June 2020 the Group made a net loss of $10,264,692 (2019: loss of 
$4,742,968) and the cash outflow from operating activities for the year was $3,771,644 (2019: 
$2,696,230). At 30 June 2020, the Group had deficiencies in net assets and net current assets of 
$7,453,494 and $4,858,302 respectively. Notwithstanding the reported results, this financial report 
has been prepared on a going concern basis as the directors consider that the company and the 
consolidated entity will be able to realise their assets and settle their liabilities in the normal course of 
business and at amount stated in the financial report.  

The directors have made enquiries of management, examined the group current financial position and 
financial forecasts. Despite any material uncertainty that may cast doubt about the Group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company and the 
group has adequate financial resources to continue as a going concern.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Significant matters identified by the directors include:-  

-  The reported loss is not considered by the directors to reflect the expected future 

performance of the group. These results were significantly impacted by legal costs incurred 
and reputational harm arising from ongoing regulatory action. Additionally, the unexpected 
impact of COVID-19 on industries around the world have substantially impacted face to face 
contact and revenues for the year. 

-  During the COVID-19 period the group has made significant changes to its international and 
domestic businesses to reflect the lessening revenues caused by the pandemic. This has 
included non-recurring restructuring costs, impairments and redundancies. 

-  The group continues to maintain the support of its existing debt providers to manage any 

maturing debt facilities within the best interest of the group.    

The continuation of the company and the group as a going concern is dependent on the ability to 
achieve the following objectives:- 

-  Forecast cash flow from operations; 
-  Proposed capital expenditure management; and, 
-  Support of its investors through capital raising by way of debt or equity. 

Should the above actions not generate the expected cash flow, the company may not be able to meet 
its debts as and when they become due and payable, and it may be required to realise assets and 
extinguish liabilities other than in the course of business and at amount different from those stated in 
the financial statements. The report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability 
and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary 
should the company and the group not continue as a going concern.

New Accounting Standards and Interpretations 

(i)  Changes in accounting policy and disclosures. 

AASB 16 Leases 

AASB 16 Leases (“AASB 16”) supersedes AASB 117 Leases (“AASB 117”). AASB 16 introduces 
a single lessee accounting model and eliminates the classification between operating and finance 
leases. All leases are required to be accounted for “on balance sheet” by lessees, other than for 
short-term and low value asset leases. The standard also provides new guidance on the definition 
of a lease and on sale and leaseback accounting and requires new and different disclosures 
about leases.  

The Group has adopted AASB 16 on 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. 
Under this approach, comparative information is not restated and the cumulative effect of initially 
applying AASB 16 is recognised in retained earnings. 

The Group leased assets include properties. As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases 
as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred 
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership.

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

From 1 July 2019 the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the 
commencement date which is initially measured on a present value basis.  

On initial adoption of AASB 16, the Group: 

•  For leases previously classified as finance leases, the Group has recognised the carrying 
amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying 
amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at 1 July 2019; 

•  For leases previously classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of AASB 117, the 

Group has recognised a right-of-use asset and lease liabilities; 

•  The right-of-use assets have been recognised at the carrying amount as if AASB 16 had 

always applied, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate; and 

•  The associated lease liabilities have been measured at the present value of future minimum 

lease payments, using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate of 10%. 

The reconciliation between the operating commitments disclosed in the 30 June 2019 financial 
statements and the lease liability recognised as at 1 July 2019 is detailed below: 

Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 30 June 2019 
Plus: lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities and not previously 
included in non-cancellable operating lease commitments
Discounted using lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the implementation of AASB 16
Less: Short-term leases not recognised as liability 
Lease liabilities arising from operating commitments at 1 July 2019 
Plus: Finance lease liabilities recognised at 30 June 2019

Impact on balance sheet on 1 July 2019 

The impact on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the initial adoption of the new leases 
standard is set out below. 

The Group has adopted AASB 16 using the modified retrospective approach. As permitted under the 
specific transitional provisions of the standard, comparatives have not been restated for the 2019 
reporting period. The reclassifications and adjustments arising from the adoption of the new leasing 
standard are recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 July 2019.

permitted by the standard: 

•  Applied the exemption not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for low value 

leases or leases with less than 12 months of lease term; 

•  Applied the use of a single discount rate to the portfolio of leases with similar characteristics. 

The rate applied was the Group’s incremental borrowing rate of 10%;

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

•  Applied the use on hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains 

options to extend the lease; and 

•  Relied on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous. 

From 1 July 2019, leases are now recognised as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease 
liability. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The right-of-use asset 
is depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis or over the useful life where title to the 
asset transfers at the end of the lease. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured 
on a present value basis.  

Depreciation on right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities is recognised in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. 

Payments associated with short term leases (generally less than 12 month terms) and leases of low 
value have continued to be recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Low value leases include office 
equipment and equipment on rental agreements which are utilised to cover peak operating periods.  

The principal portion of the lease payments are recognised as a financing cash flow and the interest 
portion of the lease payments are recognised as an operating cash flow in the Consolidated 
Statement of Cash Flows. 

The Group uses critical judgements in determining the lease term. Extension options are only 
included in the lease term where management considers that it is reasonably certain that the lease 
will be extended. 

In addition, the group has elected to early adopt AASB 2020-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting 
Standards – Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions in the current reporting period, with effect from 1 
July 2019 (the beginning of the current reporting period). 

AASB 2020-4 amends AASB 16 Leases to provide an optional practical expedient to lessees from 
assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can elect 
to account for such rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease 
modifications. The practical expedient only applies to rent concessions occurring as a direct 
consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and only if all the following conditions are met:  

(a)  the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially 
the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change; 

(b)  any reduction in lease payments affects only payments due on or before 30 June 2021; and 

(c)  there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. 

In accordance with AASB 2020-4, the group has elected to apply the practical expedient not to assess 
whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic are lease 
modifications, and to account for any changes in lease payments resulting from the rent concessions 
as if the changes were not lease modifications. Gains arising from Covid-19 related rent concessions 
recognised in profit or loss amounts to $5,585.

 (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. 

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 profit or loss and other 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 profit or loss and 
other 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)). 

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 profit or loss and other 
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.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

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.  

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 profit or 
loss and other 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 profit or loss and other 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. 

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 
Leasehold improvements 
Furniture and fittings 
Computer equipment  
Vehicles 

Estimated Life  
2 – 25 years 
2 – 20 years  
3 – 5 years  
3 – 5 years 

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 

Accounting policy applied to the information presented for the current period under AASB 16 Leases: 

At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12-months or less and leases of low 
value assets), the group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset 
and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. 

Lease assets 

Lease assets are initially recognised at cost, comprising the amount of the initial measurement of the 
lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any 
lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the group, and an estimate of costs to be 
incurred by the group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it 
is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the 
lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement 
of the associated lease liability), less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment 
loss. 

Lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the 
underlying asset, consistent with the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in 
the underlying asset. 

Lease liabilities 

Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e., the 
lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are 
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined, or 
otherwise using the group’s incremental borrowing rate. 

Subsequent to initial recognition, lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining 
lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the reporting date). Interest expense on 
lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (presented as a component of finance costs). Lease 
liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease 
modifications not accounted for as separate leases. 

Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an 
expense when incurred. 

Leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets 

Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for 
which a lease asset and a lease liability has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on a 
straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Covid-19 related rent concessions 

The group has elected to apply the practical expedient (as permitted by Australian Accounting 
Standards) not to assess whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the Covid-
19 pandemic are lease modifications, and to account for any changes in lease payments resulting 
from the rent concessions as if the changes were not lease modifications. Any gains arising from 
Covid-19 related rent concessions are recognised in profit or loss. 

The practical expedient only applies to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the 
COVID-19 pandemic and only if all the following conditions are met: 

the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is 
(a) 
substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the 
change; 

(b) 

(c) 

any reduction in lease payments affects only payments due on or before 30 June 2021; and 

there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. 

Accounting policy applied to the information presented for the prior period under AASB 117 Leases: 

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or finance leases based on the economic 
substance of the agreement so as to reflect the risks and benefits incidental to ownership.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

Finance leases 

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all of the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the 
asset, but not the legal ownership, are transferred to the group are classified as finance leases. 
Finance leases are capitalised, recording an asset and liability equal to the fair value or, if lower, the 
present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. The interest 
expense is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is practicable to determine; if 
not, the group’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Interest expense on finance leases is included in 
finance costs in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Lease assets are 
depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives where it is likely the group will 
obtain ownership of the asset, or over the term of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between 
the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period in accordance with the 
effective interest method. 

Operating leases 

Lease payments for operating leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the 
term of the lease. Lease incentives received under operating leases are recognised as a liability and 
amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term. 

(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. 

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.

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

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 profit or loss and other 
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 profit or loss and other 
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.

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

(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: 

•  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.

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

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. 

(o) 

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:

An output method is used being

sufficiently linked to the 
performance obligations

An output method is applied 
based on either time elapsed,

reached dependent on the 
terms of the individual 
contracts. Control is considered 
to pass in a manner consistent 
with measurement provided by 
this method.

Placement: At a point in time, being 
when the employee has been 
successfully placed (i.e. acceptance 
of placement by customer). 

Provision of employee:  Over time, 
being the period of time that staff are 
employed. 

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. 

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)).

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

The group was eligible for the Australian Job Keeper wage subsidy and cash flow boost schemes 
during the year.  Revenue from these government grant and subsidy is recognised when the group is 
entitled to receive them. 

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; 
•  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.

Note 1a  

Summary of significant accounting policies continued 

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 24 
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. 

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 

Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options 

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any 
periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any 
periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonable certain not to be exercised. 

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group 
applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option 
to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic 
incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group 
reassesses the lease term if there is significant event or change in circumstances that is within its 
control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (eg 
construction of significant leasehold improvements).     

Recovery of deferred tax assets 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent it is probable that future 
taxable profits will be available against which the losses can be utilised. . 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.  

A  deferred  tax  asset  has  not  been  recognised  for  unused  tax  losses  in  the  year  of  $7,845,220  (tax 
effected:  $2,353,566);  2019:  $7,372,483  (tax  effected:  $2,211,745).  Due  to  the  recent  history  of  tax 
losses and no other evidence of recoverability in the near future.    

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.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions  

(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 expense of $1,096,000 was recognised in the current year in respect of Right-of-use 
assets, property plant and equipment, and intangibles. (2019: $nil). 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 11. 

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 goes over a reporting date this is recorded 
as a contract liability on the statement of financial position. In calculating the amount of contract 
liability, consideration is also given to the probability of reversals and student refunds and the impact 
on the level of income recorded.  

Leases – Estimating the incremental borrowing rate 

The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefor it uses the 
incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the 
Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds 
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic 
environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires 
estimation. The Group estimates the IBR based on recent third party financing received and makes 
adjustments specific to the lease if required eg term, country currency and security.

Note 2  

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:

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.  

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 credit sales over a period of 3 years 
before 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 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 identifies GDP growth 
conditions to be the most relevant factor and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on the 
expected change in this factor. When considering macroeconomic factors, the Group has also taken 
into account the economic uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 21. 

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 2020, 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 26.

Impairment Testing  

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

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is 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 Group’s five cash generating units are as follows: 

-  Site Skills Training - Domestic  
-  Site Skills Training - International  
-  Clark Property Development  
-  Tertiary Education 
-  Energy Services  

During the year management added a new cash generating unit (CGU) to the group. The Clark 
Property Development CGU was created to separate the Clark lease and urban development project 
from the Site Skills Training (International) CGU. 

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the group sought to reassess the impairment of property, plant and 
equipment and intangible balances of all CGUs.  As a result of testing, an impairment charge has 
been applied to the Site Skills Training (Domestic) CGU.

Impairment Testing continued 

Site Skills Training - Domestic cash-generating unit 

The recoverable amount of the Site Skills Training - Domestic CGU of $1,145,252 as at 30 June 2020 
has been determined based on the cash-generating unit’s value-in-use calculation using projected 
cash flows from financial budgets covering a five year period.  

Key inputs into the impairment model included a pre-tax discount rate of 14.93%, annual revenue 
growth rates over the 5-year forecast period of 11-20%, annual EBITDA margins of 4-8%, and a 
terminal growth rate of 0%.  

As a result of this analysis management recognised an impairment loss totalling of $1,096,000 and 
was allocated to this CGU’s intangible assets (training licenses and course material - $309,723), plant 
and equipment (leasehold improvements - $345,072) and right-of-use assets ($441,205). The group 
attributes the impairment charge to the impacts of ongoing regulatory uncertainty between SST and 
the ASQA and the global occurrence of COVID-19. 

Site Skills Training – International cash-generating unit 

The recoverable amount of the Site Skills Training – International CGU of $8,312,589 as at 30 June 
2020 has been determined based on the cash generating unit’s value in use calculation using 
projected cash flows from financial budgets covering a 5-year period. 

Key inputs into the impairment model included a pre-tax discount rate of 15.49%, annual revenue 
growth rate over the 5-year forecast period of 15-65%, annual EBITDA margins of 14-19%, and a 
terminal growth rate of 0%.  

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

Clark Property development cash-generating unit 

The recoverable amount of the Clark Property development CGU of $20,356,026 as at 30 June 2020 
has been determined based on the cash generating unit’s value in use calculation using projected 
cash flows from financial budgets covering a 5-year period. 

Key inputs into the impairment model included a pre-tax discount rate of 15.49%, annual EBITDA 
margins of 71-72%, and a terminal growth rate of 0%.  

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

Tertiary Education cash-generating unit 

The recoverable amount of the Tertiary Education CGU of $977,837 as at 30 June 2020 has been 
determined based on the cash generating unit’s value in use calculation using projected cash flows 
from financial budgets covering a 5-year period. 

Key inputs into the impairment model included a pre-tax discount rate of 17.14% annual revenue 
growth rate over the 5-year forecast period of 10%, annual EBITDA margins of 6-8%, and a terminal 
growth rate of 0%.  

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

Energy Services cash-generating unit 

The recoverable amount of the Energy Services CGU of $498,306 as at 30 June 2020 has been 
determined based on the cash generating unit’s value in use calculation using projected cash flows 
from financial budgets covering a 5-year period. 

Key inputs into the impairment model included a pre-tax discount rate of 17.57, an annual revenue 
growth rate over the 5-year forecast period of 10%, annual EBITDA margin of 5-10%, and a terminal 
growth rate of 0%.  

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

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions  

The calculation of value in use for the cash generating units is most sensitive to changes in the 
following assumptions: 

-  Revenue growth 
-  Gross Margins 
-  Discount rates 

Revenue growth 

Revenue growth is based on the specific circumstances of each CGU. A decrease in demand can 
lead to a decline in revenue growth. A decrease in the annual revenue growth rate by 0.5% would 
result in an impairment to the Site Skills Training – International and Energy Services CGUs. A 
decrease in the rate by 2.5% would result in an impairment to the Tertiary Education CGU. No 
reasonable possible change in forecast revenue growth would have resulted in an impairment to the 
Clark Property development CGU. 

Gross Margins 

Gross margins are assumed to be maintained at historical levels. A decrease in demand can lead to a 
decline in the gross margin. A decrease in the gross margin by 0.5% would result in an impairment to 
the Site Skills Training – International CGU. A decrease in the gross margin by 1% would result in an 
impairment to the Energy Services CGU. A decrease in the rate by 2.5% would result in an 
impairment to the Tertiary Education CGU. No reasonable possible change in the growth margin 
would have resulted in an impairment to the Clark Property development CGU. 

Discount rates  

The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of each CGU and is derived from 
its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). A rise in the discount rate to 16.07% would result in an 
impairment to the Site Skills Training – International CGU. A rise in the discount rate to 18.49% would 
result in an impairment to the Clark Property development CGU. A rise in the discount rate to 31.69% 
would result in an impairment to the Energy Services CGU. No reasonably possible change in the 
discount rate applied would have resulted in an impairment of the Tertiary CGU at 30 June 2020.

The Group has an operation through a subsidiary located in the Philippines. On 30 October 2009 the 
subsidiary entered into a lease agreement covering a parcel of land where its office and education 
facilities are located. The lease agreement is for a period of 25 years with an option to renew for 
another 25 years. The agreement includes an escalation in lease payments of ten per cent, 
compounded on every increase, starting on the fourth year and every three years thereafter. 

In 2018 the Group entered into a five-year commercial lease for the head office location. This lease 
does not include any renewal options and there are no restrictions imposed by entering into these 
leases. In addition, the Group has entered into leases for training facilities at Belmont (Perth), 
Gladstone, Landsborough and Darwin. Competent Project Management has a two-year lease at 
Johor in Malaysia. All of the leases grant options for renewal at expiration of the current lease. 

From 1 July 2019, the Group has recognised right-of-use assets for these leases, except for leases of 
12 months or less.

Trade and Other Payables continued 

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. 

(a)  

Fair value 

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

(b)  

Related party payables 

             For terms and conditions relating to related party payables refer to note 17.

Unsecured loans due within 12 months represent the financing agreement with Lucerne Investment 
Partners (Lucerne). The facility has been fully drawn to $2,000,000, bears an interest rate of 9.5% 
and is repayable at call.  The loan is secured by a first ranking general security deed over all the 
assets and undertaking of the group. 

Non-current unsecured related party loans represent the current balance owed to Punta Properties 
Inc. (see Note 21).  The loan is payable only upon occurrence of a capital transaction that provides a

Pension Liability 

The Group has an obligation in the Philippines to provide for the retirement obligations of staff after 5 
years of service should that person reach retirement age. The defined benefit plan is unfunded and 
covers the majority of permanent employees. 

The tables below summarise the amount of the defined benefit liability recognised in the statement of 
financial position and components of defined benefit expense and remeasurement losses on the 
defined benefit liability recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive loss for 
the current and comparative period. 

Movement in the defined benefit liability is as follows: 

Balance at beginning of the year
     Defined benefits expense
     Benefits paid
     Remeasurement of losses recognised in
     other comprehensive income
Balance at end of the year

The defined benefit expense is as follows:

significant actuarial assumption on the defined benefit liability as at the end of the reporting period, 
assuming all other actuarial assumptions were held constant.   

The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit

The current derivative liability represents the fair value of the 16,666,667 options issued as part of the 
financing agreement with Lucerne Investment Partners (Lucerne). These options have an exercise 
price of the lower of 12 cents per share or 20% discount of the price of any future equity raise and are 
exercisable for up to 4 years from the initial drawdown.  

The non-current derivative liability represents the fair value of the conversion feature of the loan with 
Punta Properties Inc (see Note 21). 

The above derivatives are valued using a black scholes model and are carried at fair value. 

The following amounts were recognised in profit or loss in relation to derivatives:

(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.

The 7,450,000 remaining shares issued have a remaining contractual life of 1.75 years (expiry date of 
29 March 2022). 

 (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 or 
prior period.

(d) Other transactions with related parties 

Wayburn Holdings Pty Ltd 

During the current and comparative periods, the group made use of an unsecured loan facility with 
Wayburn Holdings Pty Ltd, a company associated with Managing Director and CEO Mr Vernon Wills. 

The loan facility limit was $2.35m to 31 December 2016, and $1.32m from that point, repayable on the 
earlier of collection of the receivable from the Commonwealth Department of Education and Training 
(refer note 7) or February 2018.  

During the current period the facility interest rate was reviewed and updated from a fixed rate of 7% 
per annum to 10% per annum. The rate change brings the loan facility interest rate in line with the 
interest rate applied to other related party loans. The rate change was applied to the lifetime of the 
loan resulting in an interest accrual totalling $241,763.  

The remaining loan balance was paid in full resulting in $nil owing at period end.

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

The conversion options were valued at inception using a Black Scholes model, with inputs as 
documented in the table above. Derivatives are carried at fair value through profit or loss and fall 
within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the above options at 30 June 2020 was 
$915,940 (30 June 2019: $218,630). The following inputs were applied in deriving the fair value of 
these options: 

A fair value loss of $697,310 (2019: gain of $116,498) has been recognised on revaluation of the 
embedded derivative at 30 June 2020 (see Note 17).

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.

Discontinued Operations 

In December 2016, the Group publicly announced the closure of Productivity Partners Pty Ltd’s 
business, and the closure of VET FEE-HELP related campuses. The closure was a direct result of the 
Commonwealth Government passed legislative changes. 

With Productivity Partners Pty Ltd being classified as a discontinued operation, the company is no 
longer included in the ‘tertiary education’ segment of the segment note. Expenses for the discontinued 
operation for the year are presented below.

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.

Note 26 

Financial Risk Management continued 

The outflow indicated above within 1 year will be funded via drawdowns on the unused loan facility 
available at 30 June 2020 (refer financing arrangements below), The outflow in subsequent years is 
attributable to lease liabilities and 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. 

(i) Financing arrangements 

The group had access to the following undrawn loan facility at the end of the reporting period:

The loan facility with Punta Properties may be drawn on at any time. Further terms are disclosed in 
note 21. 

(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 2020 the Group had total cash and cash 
equivalents denominated in USD of $198,140 (2019: USD $117,693).  

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). 

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only those with a long 
operating history and with a minimum rating of ‘A’ are accepted.  

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.

Contingencies 

Legal claim contingency 

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 was 
heard in June 2020), and the prevailing uncertainty surrounding the outcome of these proceedings.

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 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year 
then ended, 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 2020 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 (including Independence Standards) (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been 
given to the directors of the Group, 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.  

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern 

We draw attention to Note 1a(b) “Going Concern” in the Financial Report.  The conditions disclosed in 
Note 1a(b) indicate a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability 
to continue as a going concern and, therefore, whether it will realise its assets and discharge its 
liabilities in the normal course of business, and at the amount stated in the Financial Report.  Our 
opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. 

Key Audit Matters  

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

Key Audit Matter
Application of the going concern assumption 
Refer to note 1a(b) going concern
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 
concern basis as disclosed in note 
1a(b). 

 

 

The going concern assumption is 
fundamental to the basis of 
preparation of the financial 
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. 

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 FY21 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.

Key Audit Matters  

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Key Audit Matter
Impairment testing of Cash-Generating Units (“CGUs”) 
Refer to note 1b and note 11
AASB 136 Impairment of Assets
requires the Group to undertake an 
annual impairment assessment for 
all cash-generating units (“CGUs”) to 
which goodwill or intangible assets 
with an indefinite useful life are 
allocated. Further, an impairment 
assessment is required to be 
completed for all other assets where 
indicators of impairment are present. 

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 mathematical accuracy of the Board 

approved FY21 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. 

Impairment testing of the Group’s 
CGUs is a key audit matter due to  
the continued decline in the Group’s 
operating results and the significant 
uncertainty that COVID-19 brings to 
the Group’s ability to generate 
required revenue growth and 
produce sustainable operating 
cashflows.

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

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

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

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

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

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

  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or 

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are 
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely 
responsible for our audit opinion.  

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

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

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

Report on the Remuneration Report 

Opinion on the Remuneration Report  

We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 19 to 26 of the directors’ report for the

Limited for the year ended 30 June 2020 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  

Responsibilities  

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