STRATEGIC REPORT 

Review of operations 

Structural Monitoring Systems Plc (“SMS”), via historically strong sales contributions from its wholly-owned 
Canadian  subsidiary,  Anodyne  Electronics  Manufacturing  Corp  (“AEM”),  materially  exceeded  top-line 
revenue expectations for the financial year. In this, the first full year of operations since AEM was acquired 
in December 2017, the SMS Group generated revenue of A$16.380m.  

Of  note,  AEM  has  incurred  approximately  A$780k  of  operating  expenses  in  the  past  12  months  related 
directly to the SMS (CVMTM) business segment – which now includes a dedicated operational headcount of 
12 employees, in addition to multiple “crossover” staff, at the Company’s Kelowna, British Columbia facility. 
This figure does not include other significant investments in SMS equipment and other CAPEX, clean room 
expansion  programs  and  both  finished  and  unfinished  inventory.  AEM  staff  continue  to  prepare  for  the 
commercial production requirements of SMS in order to meet expected sales in 2020, pending the receipt of 
all final approvals that are currently in-progress at Boeing and the FAA. The top priorities include the broad 
automation  of  sensor  design  and  production  (targeted  for  Q4-2019),  further  expansion  of  the  sensor 
production  clean  room  (targeted  completion  H1-2020)  and  capital  expenditures  required  for  new  and 
improved  laser-cutting  machines  (target  Q1-2020),  workstations  and  other  personnel  and  equipment 
necessary for production and quality assurance functions (anticipated to be fully completed in H1-2020).   

As previously stated, the lift in revenue at AEM and longer lead times from third party suppliers, together with 
SMS-related inventory build, has resulted in a reduction in working capital levels, down approx. A$900K year-
on-year.  This  has  been  the  primary  consumer  of  free  cashflow  at  AEM  over  the  last  12  months.  Moving 
forward, it is expected that AEM inventory levels, as they relate to the historical business, will stabilise. 

To date, forty six Company employees have subscribed for SMS shares via the Employee Incentive Plan 
(“EIP”)  which  was  approved  by  shareholders  at  last  year’s  AGM,  contributing  circa-A$384k  before  issue 
costs. The EIP is available periodically to all employees (SMS and AEM - full and part-time).  

At this juncture, It is envisaged that cash generated from current revenue producing operations, together with 
bank finance facilities already established, should be sufficient to fund SMS Group operations in advance of 
the onset of  realised commercial benefits expected subsequent to the pending OEM/FAA approvals for the 
737-NG Aft-Pressure Bulkhead (“APB”) programme and the multi-aircraft type Wi-Fi applications.

SMS Programme Update 

B737-NG APB Implementation Stage Programme 

Delta Air Lines (“DAL”) and SMS agreed to initiate a new programme to install CVM kits on twenty (20) 
B737-NG aircraft related to APB Service Bulletins (“SB”). The first installs were completed in April and will 
continue through to the end of 2019. To date, Delta has now successfully completed a total  of eleven (11) 
B737-800  aircraft  at  MRO  facilities  located  in  El  Salvador  and  Mexico.  This  represents  a  significant 
progression  for  the  technology,  and  a  major  new  milestone  for  the  Company  and  DAL  –  and  further 
represents over half of the total 737-800 aircraft operated by DAL that will receive this CVM™ installation in 
calendar-year 2019. 

This Implementation Stage programme marks yet another key installation of CVM sensors on-board civil 
aircraft (noting that CVM™ still remains the  only SHM technology that has ever been so installed on any 
commercial aircraft type). The programme sends a clear message to the industry that CVM has matured 
even further to a true, stand-alone commercial status, and the only SHM technology at NASA Technology 
Readiness  Level  (“TRL”)  9.  Importantly,  DAL  has  agreed  to  initiate  the  installations  prior  to  formal  OEM 
approval, reflecting DAL’s confidence in the technology, as well as the ability of SMS and DAL, working in 
close partnership, to achieve the appropriate OEM certification for the technology in an expedited timeframe. 
SMS and DAL, with valuable assistance from the FAA Airworthiness and Assurance Center (overseen by

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)

Dr. Dennis Roach at Sandia Labs), will continue to work diligently to achieve the requisite approvals for the 
APB SBs, and other applications currently under consideration, with OEMs and global Regulators 

Pivotal CVM 2KU Wi-Fi Programme 

Delta Engineering (“DE”) and SMS have completed the preliminary engineering and design work in order to 
seek the pivotal issuance of an STC from the FAA.  Currently the FAA is in the final review stage and will 
submit a formal Issue Paper (“IP”) to both DE and SMS in the very near term.  This IP will provide specific 
guidance for structural health monitoring requirements and the final certification requirements, including any 
additional testing of the Wi-Fi radome related structure, if required.  Once received, the IP will provide full 
clarity on any possible near-term additional gap testing requirements to achieve full CVM STC certification. 

Revised SLA with The Boeing Company 

SMS and Boeing executed a revised and updated SLA agreement in Q2-2019, as previously communicated. 
This document was executed in parallel with the progression of the aft-pressure bulkhead (“APB”) inspection 
approval process within Boeing.  This milestone leaves SMS with one final document, a Technical Consulting 
Agreement (“TCA”), to be executed with Boeing in relation to the current 737-NG APB project. The TCA will 
identify in detail the engineering data support and analysis required from the OEM and the pricing associated 
with providing such support.  

SMS anticipates the finalisation of this document in the very near term.  The TCA will pave the way for how 
the Company will address all future CVM approvals which may also require Boeing engineering input and 
technical analysis.  The associated costs for all Boeing work required to approve SMS CVM Kits for all 
future Service Bulletin, Airworthiness Directive and maintenance tasks on behalf of our global operators will 
be covered under individual TCA’s.  Significant work has been completed on the TCA, by both Boeing and 
SMS personnel,  and  the  Company expects to have an executed TCA in the near future. As such, at this 
juncture  the  Company  has  maintained  the  timing  for  approval  of  the  Service  Bulletin  by  Boeing  will  be 
obtained in Q4-2019 or Q1-2020.  

 Analysis Using Key Financial Performance Indicators and Milestones 

At 30 June 2019, the Group had approximately $1.56m cash at bank, net of borrowings (2018: $3,25m). 

In this, the first full year of operations since the acquisition of AEM was completed in December 2017, the 
Group  recorded  a  loss  for  the  financial  year  of  $4,027,298  (2018:  $3,894,697).  The  increase  in  loss  was 
incurred due in part to share-based payment expenses of $2,031,384 (2018: $1,825,996). The Group also 
recorded revenue during the year of $16,380,037 (2018: $7,436,679). Other key expenses during the year 
were cost of sales of $9,999,317 (2018: $5,082,018), employee costs of $4,058,379 (2018: $1,507,392) and 
sales  and  marketing  expenses  of  $693,311  (2018:  $98,572),  mainly  as  a  result  of  increased  travel  in 
promoting and developing the business. There were no exceptional costs incurred during the year (2018: 
$449,492 as a result of the acquisition of AEM in December 2017). 

The Group EBITDA* for the financial year was ($2,827,370) (2018: ($3,651,023)). EBITDA from AEM was 
$2,363,371 (2018: $161,443).  

Loss per share for the financial year was 3.51 cents per share (2018: Loss per share 3.55 cents).

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)

At the reporting date the Group had net assets of $12,378,360 (2018: $13,477,443). The Group has trade 
receivables of  $3,333,770  (2018:  $2,867,156), inventory of $6,159,874 (2018:  $4,709,788) and intangible 
assets  of  $3,684,593  (2018:  $3,853,276),  including  goodwill  of  $1,474,949  (2018:  $1,386,794).  The  key 
movements  during  the  year  were  an  increase  in  inventory  of  $1.45m,  together  with  an  increase  in  trade 
receivables of $0.46m, a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.7m and an increase in trade and other 
payables of $1.1m as a build in inventory levels was made to meet order demand in 2020. There was also 
an increase in tax expense from $73,961 credit to $400,527. 

*EBITDA, which is inclusive of FX gains/losses, is calculated by adding back interest costs, depreciation and
amortisation expenses and deducting income tax benefit and interest revenue from loss after tax for the year
of $4,027,298 (2018: $3,894,697).

Global Marketing Update and Outlook 

Looking  ahead,  revenues  from  AEM  are  budgeted  to  increase  by  8–10%  in  the  next  financial  year. 
Highlighting  this  optimistic  outlook,  through  August  -  the  second  month  of  the  new  financial  year  -  AEM 
shipped circa-C$2.53  million of orders, 124%  above budget.   Importantly, the synergies continue  to  build 
between the sales effort at AEM and SMS.  AEM has active sales programmes with many of the OEM’s that 
SMS are targeting for CVM such as Sikorsky, Embraer, and Airbus.  

In addition to preparing for the commercial rollout of SMS products, the AEM in-house R&D team have a 
number of new products under development in line with the strategic push to grow the intellectual property 
portfolio. These products are expected to come to market over the next 1- 3 years.  Supplementing this effort 
the  management  team  are  actively  investigating  growth  through  small  add-on  acquisitions  that  would 
accelerate this product portfolio growth. 

Principal Risks and Uncertainties 

The principal risks and how they are managed are set out on page 16 of the Director’s Report. 

The Strategic Report was signed on behalf of the Board.

SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS 

Structural  Monitoring  Systems  Plc  held  its  Annual  General  Meeting  of  Shareholders  at  Level  7,  Picadilly 
Tower, 133 Castlereagh Street, Sydney, New South Wales on 11th December 2018 at 12.00pm ADST. 

All resolutions that were put were unanimously passed on a show of hands. 

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES  

The  directors  are  responsible  for  preparing  the  Strategic  Report  and  Directors’  Report  and  the  financial 
statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the directors to prepare group and company financial statements for each financial 
year.  The directors are required under the rules of the Australian Securities Exchange to prepare group and 
company financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)  as 
adopted by the European Union (“EU”). 

The  financial  statements  are  required  by  law  and  IFRS  adopted  by  the  EU  to  present  fairly  the  financial 
position of the group and the company and the financial performance of the group. The Companies Act 2006 
provides in relation to such financial statements that references in the relevant part of that Act to financial 
statements giving a true and fair view are references to their achieving a fair presentation. 

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that 
they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the company and of the profit or loss of 
the group and the company for that period.  

In preparing the group and company financial statements, the directors are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

a. 
b.  make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 
c. 
d. 

state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs adopted by the EU; 
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that 
the group and the company will continue in business. 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain 
the group’s and the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial 
position of the group and the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with 
the  Companies Act 2006.   They  are  also  responsible  for  safeguarding  the  assets  of  the  group  and  the 
company  and  hence  for  taking  reasonable  steps  for  the  prevention  and  detection  of  fraud  and  other 
irregularities. The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial 
information included on the www.smsystems.com.au website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing 
the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurasdictions. 

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF OFFICERS 

The  Company  has  indemnified  the  directors  and  executives  of  the  company  for  costs  incurred,  in  their 
capacity as a director or executive, for which they may be held personally liable, except where there is a lack 
of good faith. 

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the directors and 
executives of the company. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and 
the amount of the premium.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) 

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE 

Subsequent to the balance sheet date the Company announced the execution of an updated agreement with 
the Boeing Company for the acquisition of products and services, and the Company has been granted license 
rights to use Boeing propriety data for the sale of products or services. 

Other  than  the  above  no  matters  or  circumstances  have  arisen  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year  which 
significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, 
or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years. 

RESULTS AND DIVIDEND 

The operating loss, after income tax, for the year was $4,027,298 (2018: $3,894,697). No dividends were 
proposed or paid during the financial year. 

SHARE CAPITAL 

The impact on share capital and share premium account of the share issues in the year, is disclosed in note 
22 to the Financial Statements. 

GOING CONCERN 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of 
normal  business  activities,  the  continued  financial  performance  of  AEM  and  the  realisation  of  assets  and 
discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the availability of an established operating 
loan  facility  of  up  to  CAD$2  million.  The  directors  consider  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  to  be 
appropriate based on forecast cash flows. 

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded 
assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Company and the Group entity do not continue as going 
concerns. 

DIRECTORS MEETINGS 

The number of directors’ meetings (including meetings of committees of directors) and number of meetings

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 

The Group actively reviews technical  developments in its  markets with a view  to taking  advantage of the 
opportunities available to maintain and improve it’s competitive position. This action involves the design and 
development of structural health monitoring systems applicable to the aviation industry. 

REMUNERATION REPORT 

REMUNERATION POLICY 

The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors of Structural Monitoring Systems Plc is responsible 
for  determining  and  reviewing  compensation  arrangements  for  the  directors  and  executives.  The 
Remuneration Committee assesses the appropriateness of the nature and amount of emoluments of such 
officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the overall objective 
of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high quality board and executive team. Such 
officers are given the opportunity to receive their base emoluments in a variety of forms including cash and 
fringe benefits such as motor vehicles and expense payment plans. It is intended that the manner of payment 
chosen will be optimal for the recipient without creating undue cost for the company. 

To  assist  in  achieving  these  objectives,  the  Remuneration  Committee  links  the  nature  and  amount  of 
executive  directors’  and  senior  executives’  emoluments  to  the  Company’s  financial  and  operational 
performance.  Executive  directors  and  employees  have  the  opportunity  to  qualify  for  participation  in  the 
Company Employee Incentive Plan. 

It  is  the  Remuneration  Committee’s  policy  that  employment  agreements  shall  be  entered  into  with  the 
Managing  Director  and  all  other  executives.  The  current  employment  agreement  is  consistent  for  all 
executives. The  agreement has 3 months’ notice period and  provides for  payment of an amount of three 
months’ salary at the end of the three month notice period. Any options or performance rights held lapse 
when the service period is completed.

END OF REMUNERATION REPORT 

INFORMATION GIVEN TO AUDITORS 

Each of the directors has confirmed that so far as he is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which 
the  Group's  auditors  are  unaware,  and  that  he  has  taken  all  the  steps  that  he  ought  to  have  taken  as  a 
director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group's 
auditors are aware of that information.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (CONTINUED) 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISKS 

The Board has overall responsibility for the determination of the Group's risk management objectives and 
policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the authority for designing and 
operating processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the CEO. The 
Board receives monthly reports from the finance function through which it reviews the effectiveness of the 
processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and policies it sets. 

The overall objective of the Board is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly 
affecting  the  Group's  competitiveness  and  flexibility.  Further  details  regarding  these  policies  are  set  out 
below: 

The Group is exposed through its operations to the following financial risks: 

- credit risk; 

- liquidity risk; 

- foreign exchange risk  

The Group is exposed to the usual credit risk associated with selling on credit and manages this through 
credit control procedures. Further information is provided in note 23 to the Financial Statements. 

As a result of operations in United Kingdom, Canada, USA and Australia, the Group’s assets and liabilities 
can be affected by movements in the UK£/A$, CAD$/A$ and USD$/A$ exchange rates. 

The Group also has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an 
operating unit in currencies other than the unit’s functional currency. 

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk following the acquisition of a Canadian-based subsidiary and 
the risk could increase in the future as international commercialisation of the Group’s technologies increase. 
There is currently no form of currency hedging or risk strategy in place, but this policy will be reviewed and 
strategies implemented once the review is complete. 

Liquidity  risk  arises  from  the  Group's  management  of  working  capital.  It  is  the  risk  that  the  Group  will 
encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. 

In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future 
developments, the Group monitors forecast cash inflows and outflows on a monthly basis. The Group has 
an established operating loan facility for up to CAD$2 million to assist with day to day operating requirements. 

Business risks and uncertainties 

The Group has a reliance on one customer at the  present time. The customer accounts for $8.2 million of 
revenues totalling $16.38 million. The relationship with the customer is secured by a licence agreement and 
the Group is pursuing growth opportunities. 

Future developments 

The directors have discussed the future developments for the business within the Strategic Report on page 
5, in accordance with Section 414C of the Companies Act 2016.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

1 CORPORATE INFORMATION AND AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The  financial  statements  of  Structural  Monitoring  Systems  Plc  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2019  were 
authorised  for  issue  in  accordance  with  a  resolution  of  the  directors  on  30  September  2019  and  the 
statements of financial position were signed on the Board’s behalf by Michael Reveley.  

Structural Monitoring Systems Plc is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in the  United 
Kingdom. The Company’s ordinary shares, when held as a Chess Depository Interest (CDI) and registered 
on the CDI register, are tradable on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Ordinary shares on the UK 
register cannot be traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. 

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  Basis of Preparation 

The consolidated financial statements and those of the parent entity are presented in Australian dollars 
which is the Company’s functional currency and are rounded to the nearest Australian dollar. The average 
AUD:GBP rate for the year was  0.5527 (2018:  0.5762) and the reporting  date  AUD:GBP  spot rate was 
0.5535  (2018:  0.5640).  The  average  AUD:CAD  rate  for  the  year  was  0.9469  (2018:  0.9846)  and  the 
reporting  date  AUD:CAD  spot  rate  was  0.9187  (2018:  0.9771).  CAD  is  the  presentational  currency  of 
Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp (AEM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. 

(b) Going Concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity 
of normal business activities, the continued financial performance of AEM and the realisation of assets and 
discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business as well as the availability of an established operating 
loan facility of up to CAD$2 million. The directors consider the going concern basis of accounting to be 
appropriate based on forecast cash flows. 

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded 
assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Company and the Group entity do not continue as going 
concerns. 

(c) Statement of compliance 

  The Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”)  as adopted  by the European  Union as they apply  to the financial statements  of the 
Group for the year ended 30 June 2019 and are applied in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The 
Group and the Company have not  adopted any standards or interpretations  in advance of  the required 
implementation dates.  It is not expected that adoption of standards or interpretations which have been 
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board but have not been adopted will have a material 
impact on the financial statements. See note 2(d) and 2(aa) for further consideration.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(d)  Accounting standards and Interpretations 

The following standards and interpretations are most relevant to the Group: 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of 
financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments and impairment of financial 
assets.  

The classification of financial assets under IFRS 9 is based on whether the contractual cash flows of the 
instrument are solely payments of principal and interest, and whether the business model is to collect those 
contractual cash flows and/or sell the financial assets.  The classification and measurement of financial 
assets under IFRS 9 is set out below. 

All the group’s financial assets were previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39 and are 
classified as assets at amortised cost under IFRS 9. 

The only change in measurement of financial assets on application of IFRS 9 arises from impairment of 
financial assets. IFRS 9 requires impairments of financial assets to be assessed using an ‘expected loss’ 
model.  The change from the ‘incurred loss’ model previously applied under IAS 39 has not resulted in a 
material change to carrying value of financial assets at 30 June 2018 in respect of financial assets held in 
the group financial statements. On this basis there has been no restatement of comparative figures for the 
year ended 30 June 2018 or to equity at 1 July 2018.  

The application of IFRS 9 has not changed the measurement of the group’s financial liabilities or the group’s 
accounting policies for the recognition or derecognition of financial instruments. 

In respect of the parent company financial statements, under IAS 39, an “incurred loss” model previously 
applied  to  the  group’s  intercompany  loans.  However,  IFRS  9  requires  a  loss  allowance  to  be  for  the 
difference  between  the  net  present  value  of  the  company’s  contractual  cash  flows  and  the  net  present 
value of the expected cash flows. On transition to IFRS 9 the modified retrospective application method 
has been applied and the opening intercompany loan has been recalculated to reflect the expected credit 
losses impairment model. Prior years are not restated  

The  new  accounting  policies  under  IFRS  9  are  disclosed  below.  The  accounting  policies  under  IAS  39 
applied in the previous period are available in the 30 June 2018 annual report. 

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 

The  Group  has  adopted  IFRS  15  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  from  1  July  2018.  This  has 
replaced existing revenue recognition standard IAS 18 Revenue.  

Following a review and an impact assessment of this standard it was concluded that the Group’s revenue 
streams are currently recognised at the point that its performance obligation is satisfied and at a determined 
transaction price and therefore, under IFRS 15, there was no material change in the amount and timing of 
its revenue recognition.  

The Group’s customer contracts have warranty arrangements within them, however these are to provide 
assurance  that  the  Group’s  products  comply  with  agreed-upon  specifications  and,  as  such,  should  be 
accounted for in accordance with IAS 37. No provision has been made for warranty costs on the basis that 
the history of returns is immaterial.  

The new accounting policies under IFRS 15 are disclosed below. The accounting policies under IAS 18 
applied in the previous period are available in the 30 June 2018 annual report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(e) Basis of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by 
Structural Monitoring Systems Plc at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over 
which  Structural  Monitoring  Systems  Plc  is  exposed  to,  or  has  rights  to,  variable  returns  from  its 
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities 
of the entity. 

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Group during the year, the financial performance of those 
entities is included only for the period of the ye ar that they were controlled.   

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  all  inter-group  balances  and  transactions  between 
entities in the consolidated group have been eliminated in full on consolidation. 

Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, 
are reported separately within the equity section of the consolidated statement of  financial position and 
statement  of  comprehensive  income.    The  non-controlling  interests  in  the  net  assets  comprise  their 
interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that 
date. 

Business Combinations  

Business combinations occur where an acquirer obtains control over one or more businesses. A business 
combination  is  accounted  for  by  applying  the  acquisition  method,  unless  it  is  a  combination  involving 
entities or businesses under common control.  The business combination will be accounted for from the 
date  that  control  is  attained,  whereby  the  fair  value  of  the  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities 
(including contingent liabilities) assumed is recognised (subject to certain limited exemptions).  

When measuring the consideration transferred in the business combination, any asset or liability resulting 
from a contingent consideration arrangement is also included.  Subsequent to initial recognition, contingent 
consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within 
equity.    Contingent  consideration  classified  as  an  asset  or  liability  is  remeasured  at  the  end  of  each 
reporting period to fair value, recognising any change to fair value in profit or loss, unless the change in 
value can be identified as existing at acquisition date. 

All  transaction  costs  incurred  in  relation  to  the  business  combination  are  expensed  to  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income. The acquisition of a business may result in the recognition of goodwill or a gain 
from a bargain purchase. 

(f) Foreign currency translation 

(i) Functional currency  

Items included in the financial statements of each of the companies in the Group are measured using the 
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).  The 
functional currency of Structural Monitoring Systems Plc is Australian dollars and its presentation currency 
is Australian  dollars. The functional currency of its  overseas subsidiary,  Structural  Monitoring Systems 
Limited, is Australian dollars and the functional currency of its overseas subsidiary, Anodyne Electronics 
Manufacturing Corp is Canadian dollars.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

(ii)  Transactions and balances 

Foreign  currency  transactions  are  translated  into  the  functional  currency  using  the  exchange  rates 
prevailing  at  the  dates  of  the  transactions.    Foreign  exchange  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the 
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets 
and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income. 

(iii)  Group entities 

The  results  and  financial  position  of  all  the  Company  entities  (none  of  which  has  the  currency  of  a 
hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are 
translated into the presentation currency as follows: 

•  Assets  and  liabilities  for  each  statement  of  financial  position  presented  are  translated  at  the 

• 

closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; 
Income and expenses for  each statement  of comprehensive income are  translated  at average 
exchange  rates  (unless  this  is  not  a  reasonable  approximation  of  the  rates  prevailing  on  the 
transaction  dates,  in  which  case  income  and  expenses  aretranslated  at  the  dates  of  the 
transactions); and 

•  All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity and in Other 

comprehensive Income. 

On  consolidation,  exchange  differences  arising  from  the  translation  of  any  net  investment  in  foreign 
entities are taken to foreign currency translation reserve.   

When  a  foreign  operation  is  sold  or  any  borrowings  forming  part  of  the  net  investment  are  repaid,  a 
proportionate  share  of  such  exchange  differences  are  recognised  in  the  statement  of  comprehensive 
income, as part of the gain or loss on sale where applicable. 

(g) Impairment of property, plant and equipment 

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.  
Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount.  
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired 
and is written down to its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  It is determined for an 
individual asset, unless the asset’s value in use cannot be estimated to be close to its fair value less costs 
to sell and it does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or 
groups of assets,  in which  case, the recoverable  amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to 
which the asset belongs. 

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks 
specific to the asset.

(h)  Financial instruments 

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

Financial assets 

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and other short-term deposits held by the 
Group with maturities of less than three months. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and 
cash  equivalents  consist  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  as  defined  above,  net  of  outstanding  bank 
overdrafts.  

Trade, Group and other receivables 

Trade,  other  and  group  receivables  are  recorded  initially  at  fair  value  and  subsequently  measured  at 
amortised cost. This results in their recognition at nominal value less an allowance for any doubtful debts. 
The allowance for doubtful debts was recognised under an “incurred loss” model  until 1 July  2018  and 
therefore it was dependent upon the existence of an impairment event. From 1 July 2018, the allowance 
for doubtful debts is recognised based on management’s expectation of losses without regard to whether 
an impairment trigger happened or not (an “expected credit loss” model). 

Financial liabilities and equity 

Financial  liabilities  and  equity  instruments  are  classified  according  to  the  substance  of  the  contractual 
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the 
assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. 

Trade, Group and other payables 

Trade, Group and other payables are initially measured at fair value net of direct transaction costs and 
subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Equity instruments 

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at fair value on initial recognition net of transaction 
costs.  

Derecognition of financial assets (including write-offs) and financial liabilities 

A financial asset (or part thereof) is derecognised when the contractual rights to cash flows expire or are 
settled, or when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset and substantially all 
the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  are  transferred  to  another  party.  When  there  is  no  reasonable 
expectation  of  recovering  a  financial  asset  it  is  derecognised  (“written  off”).  The  gain  or  loss  on 
derecognition  of  financial  assets  measured  at  amortised  cost  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss.  A  financial 
liability  (or  part  thereof)  is  derecognised  when  the  obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is  discharged, 
cancelled or expires. Any difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part thereof) 
that is derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Impairment of financial assets 

An  impairment  loss  is  recognised  for  the  expected  credit  losses  on  financial  assets  when  there  is  an 
increased probability that the counterparty will be unable to settle an instrument’s contractual cash flows 
on the contractual due dates, a reduction in the amounts expected to be recovered, or both. The probability 
of default and expected amounts recoverable are assessed using reasonable and supportable past and 
forward-looking  information  that  is  available  without  undue  cost  or  effort.  The  expected  credit  loss  is  a 
probability-weighted amount determined from a range of outcomes and takes into account the time value 
of money. 

For trade receivables, material expected credit losses are measured by applying an expected loss rate to 
the  gross  carrying  amount.  The  expected  loss  rate  comprises  the  risk  of  a  default  occurring  and  the 
expected cash flows on default based on the aging of the receivable. The risk of a default occurring always 
takes into consideration all possible default events ove the expected life of those receivables (“the lifetime 
expected  credit  losses”).  Different  provision  rates  and  periods  are  used  based  on  groupings  of  historic 
credit loss experience by product type, customer type and location.  

For  intercompany  loans  that  are  repayable  on  demand,  expected  credit  losses  are  based  on  the 
assumption that repayment of the loan is demanded at the reporting date. If the subsidiary does not have 
sufficient accessible highly liquid assets in order to repay the loan if demanded at the reporting date, an 
expected credit loss is calculated. This is calculated based on the expected cash flows arising from the 
subsidiary, and weighted for probability likelihood variations in cash flows.  

Definition of default 

The loss allowance on all financial assets is measured by considering the probability of default. 

Receivables are considered to be in default when the principal or any interest is significantly more than the 
associated credit terms past due, based on an assessment of past payment practices and the likelihood of 
such overdue amounts being recovered.  

Write-off policy 

Receivables are written off by the Group when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as 
when the counterparty is known to be going bankrupt, or into liquidation or administration.  Receivables 
will also be written off when the amount is more than materially past due. 

(i) 

Provisions 

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 resources embodying economic benefits will be required to 
settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 

  Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance 
contract,  the  reimbursement  is  recognised  as  a  separate  asset  but  only  when  the  reimbursement  is 
virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the  statement of comprehensive 
income net of any reimbursement.  

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected 
future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money 
and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(j) Share-based payment transactions 

The  Group  provides  benefits  to  employees  (including  directors)  in  the  form  of  share-based  payment 
transactions,  whereby  employees  render  services  in  exchange  for  rights  over  shares  (‘equity-settled 
transactions’). The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. 

There is currently one plan in place to provide these benefits, the Employee Incentive Plan  (EIP), which 
provides benefits to directors and employees. 

The cost of these equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value at 
the date at which they are granted.  

In  valuing  equity-settled  transactions,  no  account  is  taken  of  any  performance  conditions,  other  than 
conditions linked to the price of the shares of Structural Monitoring Systems Plc (‘market conditions’). 

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, 
over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant 
employees become fully entitled to the award (‘vesting date’). 

The  cumulative  expense  recognised  for  equity-settled  transactions  at  each  reporting  date  until  vesting 
date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired. This opinion is formed based on the best 
available information at the reporting date. No adjustment is made for the likelihood of market performance 
conditions being met as the effect of these conditions is included in the determination of fair value at grant 
date.  

(k) Revenue 

Revenue recognition – Repair services 

Repairs meet the definition of a distinct service whereby the associated revenue is to be recognized at a 
point  in  time,  evidenced  by  the  completion  of  the  agreed  upon  service  and  delivery  of  the  repaired 
parts/components to the customer. The point in time criteria are met as the following transfers of control 
exist: (a) The entity has the present right to payment for the asset; (b) the customer has the legal right to 
the  asset;  (c)  the  entity  has  transferred  physical  possession  of  the  asset;  (d)  the  customer  has  the 
significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; aI(e) the customer has accepted the asset. Pricing 
is fixed and determinable pursuant to agreed upon pricing lists that establish stand-alone selling prices.  

Revenue recognition – Product sales (stock or customised parts) 

Product sales meet the definition of a distinct service whereby the associated revenue is to be recognised 
at a point in time, evidenced by the delivery of the products to the customer. The point in time criteria are 
met as the following transfers of control exist: (a) The entity has the present right to payment for the asset; 
(b) the customer has the legal right to the asset; (c) the entity has transferred physical possession of the 
asset; (d) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset; (e) the customer 
has  accepted  the  asset.  Pricing  is  fixed  and  determinable  pursuant  to  agreed  upon  pricing  lists  that 
establish stand-alone selling prices. There are no further performance obligations associated with these 
sales. 

At times, multiple services or goods are sold to customers, however, contracts detail out separate prices 
for each different good or service purchased.  As each service or good purchased has a standalone selling 
price in the negotiated contract there is no need to allocate a purchase price across multiple deliverables. 
In addition, each contract includes payment terms.

2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

The  Group  recognises  revenue  on  shipping  for  stock  parts,  customized  product  and  customer  product.  
When the Group provides a service (prototyping) it generally recognizes revenue when the prototype is 
shipped or as the service is provided if  there is no item to be shipped.  The Group recognises revenue 
when it satisfies its performance obligation under the contract (when the Group ships the product which is 
also when the customer obtains control over the product or service). 

(l) Inventories 

Raw materials, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value 
on‘a  'first  in  first  out'  basis.  Cost  comprises  of  direct  materials  and  delivery  costs,  direct  labour,  import 
duties and other  taxes,  an  appropriate proportion of variable and fixed  overhead expenditure  based on 
normal  operating  capacity,  and,  where  applicable,  transfers  from  cash  flow  hedging  reserves  in  equity. 
Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

Stock in transit is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises of purchase and 
delivery costs, net of rebates and discounts received or receivable. 

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

(m)  Property, plant and equipment 

Plant  and  equipment  and  leasehold  improvements  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated 
depreciation  and  impairment.  Historical  cost  includes  expenditure  that  is  directly  attributable  to  the 
acquisition of the items. 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant 
and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Plant and equipment 
Leasehold improvements  5 years 

3 - 5 years 

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at 
each reporting date 

Leasehold improvements and plant and equipment under lease are depreciated over the unexpired period 
of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets, whichever is shorter. 

An  item  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  is  derecognised  upon  disposal  or  when  there  is  no  future 
economic  benefit  to  the  consolidated  entity.  Gains  and  losses  between  the  carrying  amount  and  the 
disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. 

(n) Intangible assets 

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at 
their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired separately are initially recognised 
at  cost.  Finite  life  intangible  assets  are  subsequently  measured  at  cost  less  amortisation  and  any 
impairment. The gains or losses recognised in the statement of comprehensive income arising from the 
derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between net disposal proceeds and the 
carrying  amount  of  the  intangible  asset.  The  method  and  useful  lives  of  finite  life  intangible  assets  are 
reviewed  annually.  Changes  in  the  expected  pattern  of  consumption  or  useful  life  are  accounted  for 
prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.

2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Goodwill 

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. 

Research and development 

Research costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised 
when it is probable that the project will be a success considering its commercial and technical feasibility; 
the consolidated entity is able to use or sell the asset; the consolidated entity has sufficient resources; and 
intent to complete the development and its costs can be measured reliably. Capitalised development costs 
are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 
years. 

Certifications 

Significant costs associated with certifications are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of their 
expected benefit, being the finite life of 5 years. 

Licence agreement 

Significant costs associated with a licence agreement are amortised on a straight line basis over the period 
of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 5 years. 

Technology 

Significant costs associated with technological intellectual property are amortised on a straight line basis 
over the period of their expected benefit, being their finite life of 10 years. 

(o) Impairment of non-financial assets 

Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and 
are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that 
they  might  be  impaired.  Other  non-financial  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss 
is recognised for the amount by which the as’et's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Recoverable  amount  is  the  higher  of  an  asset's  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal  and  value-in-use.  The 
value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax 
discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not 
have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit. 

(p) Income tax 

The  charge  for  taxation  for  the  year  is  the  tax  payable  on  the  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  based  on  the 
applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction and takes into account deferred tax. Deferred tax is the tax 
expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit or 
loss, and is accounted for using the balance sheet method. 

Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be 
available in the foreseeable future against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

(q) Other taxes 

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

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

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

The net amount of VAT/GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of 
receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. 

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis and the VAT/GST component of 
cash  flows  arising  from  investing  and  financing  activities,  which  is  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the 
taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. 

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

(r) Employee entitlements 

Short-term employee benefits 

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave 
expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected 
to be paid when the liabilities are settled. 

Defined contribution superannuation expense 

Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are 
incurred. 

(s) Investments in subsidiary undertakings 

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are accounted for at cost less, where appropriate, allowances for 
impairment.  

(t) Operating leases 

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group 
as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the 
statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(u) Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  requires  management  to  make  judgements, 
estimates and assumptions concerning the future which impact the application of accounting policies and 
reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and  expenses.  The  accounting  estimates  resulting  from 
these judgements and assumptions seldom equal the actual results but are based on historical experiences 
and future expectations.  

i) 

Share-based payment transaction: 

The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value 
of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using either a 
Black-Scholes  or  binomial  pricing  models,  using  the  assumptions  detailed  in  note  23  Share-based 
payments. 

ii) 

Impairment resulting from acquisition of Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing (AEM) 

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets 

An annual review is carried out (as set out in note 13 as to whether the current carrying value of goodwill 
is impaired. Detailed calculations are performed based on (i) discounting expected pre-tax cash flows of 
the relevant cash generating units and discounting these at an appropriate discount rate; and/or  (ii) the 
comparison of carrying value to the net selling price of the cash generating unit; the determination of these 
factors require the exercise of judgement. 

iii) 

Impairment of inter-company receivables 

The Company has intercompany loans to its subsidiary companies which are repayable on demand. As 
the  subsidiaries  did  not  have  sufficient  highly  liquid  resources  to  repay  the  loans  at  30  June  2019,  an 
expected credit loss provision is calculated under IFRS 9. 

For Structural Monitoring Canada Corporation, the calculation is based upon the expectation that AEM will 
trade profitably in the future and that this will allow it to repay the loans in time. Forecast cash flows under 
a range of possible outcomes are assessed to derive a probability-weighted value for the loan based upon 
the time taken to repay the outstanding amount in full. These calculations rely on management judgements 
as  to  the  future  cash  flow  forecasts  and  the  probability  weightings  assigned.  Further  details  on  the 
impairment provision are set out in note 14. 

As  at  30  June  2019,  there  are  no  other  critical  accounting  estimates  and  judgements  contained  in  the 
financial report. 

(v) EU adopted International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory 
or early adopted 

EU adopted International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued 
or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting 
period ended 30 June 2019. The’Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting 
Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the consolidated entity, are set out below.

IFRS 16 Leases 

IFRS  16,  “Leases”,  addresses  the  definition  of  a  lease,  recognition  and  measurement  of  leases,  and  it 
establishes  principles for reporting  useful  information to users  of financial statements  about the  leasing 
activities of both lessees and lessors. A key change arising from IFRS 16 is that almost all operating leases 
will be accounted for on balance sheet for lessees. The standard replaces IAS 17, “Leases”, and related 
interpretations.  The  standard  is  effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2019,  and 
earlier  application  is  permitted,  subject  to  the  entity  adopting  IFRS  15,  ‘Revenue  from  contracts  with 
customers’, at the same time. The cumulative catch up method will be taken, together with the practical 
expedient to exclude leases from the calculation where the lease term ends within 12 months of the date 
of  initial  application.  The  financial  impact  applying  the  catch  up  method  will  be  to  recognise  opening 
balances as at 1 July 2019 as follows:  

For lessor accounting the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The 
Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 and its impact on adoption is expected to result in total 
assets increasing by $1,124,990, total liabilities increasing by $1,130,147 and net assets decreasing by 
$5,157.

determination of the capitalizsation rate applied to general borrowings.

3.  SEGMENT INFORMATION 

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used 
by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the 
allocation  of  resources.  The  Group  operates  predominantly  in  two  industries,  being  structural  health 
monitoring (CVMTM) and the design and manufacture of avionics and audio systems. A third segment refers 
to the intellectual property (IP) held in another subsidiary of the Parent. In the prior year he Group reported 
as operating in one segment, being structural health monitoring. The change in segment reporting has arose 
as a result of the acquisition of AEM introducing a new business segment within the Group. 

The main geographic areas that the entity operates in are the USA, Canada and Europe.  The Group has 
operations in the USA, Canada and Australia. The parent company is registered in the UK. An Australian-
based subsidiary is the owner of CVMTM intellectual property. 

The  following  tables  present  revenue,  expenditure  and  certain  asset  information  regarding  geographical

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net loss for the year attributable to ordinary 
equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the 
year. 

Diluted earnings per share has  not been calculated  as there were no  performance rights or  options on 
issue which would be potential ordinary shares having a dilutive effect. The number of options at 30 June 
2019 was nil (2018:  1,829,082)  and the  number  of  performance rights  at  30 June  2019 was 3,075,000 
(2018: 2,625,000) These were not considered to be dilutive because the share price at 30 June 2019 did 
not exceed the share price targets attached.  

The  following  reflects  the  income  and  share  data  used  in  the  total  operations  basic  loss  per  share

13. NON-CURRENT ASSETS - INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL (CONTINUED) 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

Certifications 

AEM possesses distinct aircraft manufacturing and maintenance certifications, which are requisite to the 
sale and maintenance of their products in key markets. 

Licence agreement 

AEM has a licence agreement in place with one of their key customers to be the producer and seller of 
certain  aircraft  instruments.  This  has  identifiable  cash  flows  in  the  form  of  future  sales  to  aircraft 
manufacturing and maintenance providers who require these instruments. 

Technology 

AEM  has  developed  proprietary  aircraft  parts  and  manufacturing  technology  which  are  expected  to 
continue to yield future sales. This intellectual property is seperable and identifiable to the extent that it 
could be licensed or acquired. In addition, there are identifiable future benefits in the form of cash flows 
from the sale of the resulting products to AEM customers. 

Amortisation 

The amortisation period applied to the intangible assets are as follows: 

Certifications – 5 years, remaining amortisation period is 3.5 years 

Licence agreement – 5 years, remaining amortisation period is 3.5 years 

Technology – 10 years, remaining amortisation period is 8.5 years 

Impairment testing 

Goodwill  of  $1,402,945  acquired  through  business  combinations  has  been  allocated  to  the  AEM  cash 
generating unit (2018: $1,402,945). 

The impairment test has been carried out using a discounted cash flow model covering a 5 year period. 
Cash  flow  projections  are  based  on  a  budget  for  2019/2020  approved  by  management.  The  principal 
assumptions made in determining the recoverable amount of goodwill as at 30 June 2019 include revenue 
growth of 2% per annum from 2021 and a discount rate of 16.3%. 

If  the  revised  estimated  pre-tax  discount  rate  applied  to  the  discounted  cash  flows  had  been  10%  less 
favourable in management’s estimate the Group would need to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by 
$nil (2018: $364,122).

20. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 

(a) Employees incentive plan 

On 11 December 2018 shareholders approved the employee incentive plan (EIP) for the granting of non-
transferable shares or performance rights (PRs) to directors, employees and relevant contractors with more 
than  six  months’  service  at  the  grant  date.  The  shares  vest  immediately  and  the  PRs  vest  upon  the 
satisfaction of the relevant performance hurdles within 3 years of issue. Under then plan shares will be 
offered at a 12.5% discount to the lowest 5 day VWAP (calculated by taking the lowest 5 daily share price 
VWAPs for that quarter – and taking the average). 

Under  the  EIP  450,000  performance  rights,  and  the  issue  of  shares  following  the  vesting  of  those 
performance rights, were granted to directors and executives during the year. Also under the EIP 274,679 
shares were issued to employees at a discounted issue price of 77 cents. A further 438,691 shares were 
issued at no consideration. Details are included in note 21 Share-based payments. 

(b) Pensions and other post-employment benefit plans 

AEM maintains a defined contribution pension plan for its’ employees. AEM contributes 5% of salary to the 
Plan. Employees must be employed with the company for 12 months before they are entitled to the benefit. 
There are currently 73 employees participating in the plan. Contributions are paid monthly and recognised 
in the Statement of comprehensive income.

Performance Rights - Consultants 

On 15 April 2018 The Board granted the issue of the following PRs to an employee under the EIP. The 
PRs were previously estimated to have a $nil value as they were subject to a service condition which, it 
was  estimated,  would  not  be  satisfied.  The  service  condition  was  subsequently  satisfied  in  the  current 
period and the value measured as at the grant date has been recognised as an expense in  the current 
period.

The Black-Scholes pricing model was used in the valuations of performance rights issued during the year. 

Volatility is determined by calculating the standard deviation of the closing price annualised over the period 
of time equal to that of the term of the PR prior to grant date. It shows the range to which the share price 
will increase or decrease over the term of the performance period. 

The number of performance rights that were outstanding, their weighted average exercise price and their 
movement during the year is as follows:

22. ISSUED CAPITAL AND RESERVES (CONTINUED) 

Nature and purpose of reserves 

  Share premium reserve 

  The share premium reserve is used to record increments in the value of share issues when the issue price 
per share is greater than the par value. The par value of shares is currently $0.005 (2018: $0.005). Costs 
of the issues are written off against the reserve. 

Share-based payment reserve

and directors as part of their remuneration, or to other parties in lieu of cash compensation. 

Foreign currency translation reserve 

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation 
of the financial statements of the company. 

Reserves classified  on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position as retained earnings 
represent accumulated earnings and are distributable. All the other reserves are non-distributable. 

Accumulated losses 

Reserves classified on the face of the consolidated statement of financial position as accumulated losses 
are distributable. All other reserves are non-distributable. 

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES 

Financial Risk Management 

Overview 

The Company and Group have exposure to the following risks from their use of financial instruments: 

o 
o 
o 

Market risk, including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk 
Credit and cashflow risk 
Liquidity risk 

This note presents information about the Company’s and Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, 
their objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the management of capital. 

The  Board  of  Directors  has  overall  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and  oversight  of  the  risk 
management framework. 

Risk management  policies  are established to  identify  and analyse the risks faced by the Company and 
Group,  to  set  appropriate  risk  limits  and  controls,  and  to  monitor  risks  and  adherence  to  limits.  Risk 
management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the 
Company’s and Group’s activities.

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

The Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s and Group’s 
risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework 
in relation to the risks faced by the Company and Group. 

The  Company  and  the  Group's  principal  financial  instruments  are  cash,  receivables,  borrowings  and 
payables. The financial  assets are categorised  as loans and receivables  and the financial  liabilities are 
categorised as other financial liabilities measured at amortised cost. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest  rate  risk  is  the  risk  that  the  value  of  a  financial  instrument  or  cash  flows  associated  with  the 
instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.  Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations 
in interest bearing financial assets and liabilities that the group uses. 

Interest bearing assets comprise cash and cash equivalents which are considered to be short-term liquid 
assets.  It is the Group's policy to settle trade payables within the credit terms allowed and therefore not 
incur interest on overdue balances.  

Interest bearing liabilities include a bank overdraft facility secured on trade receivables. At the date of issue 
of this report the facility has been repaid. 

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments 

A change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased / (decreased) 
equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. The analysis  is performed on the same basis as 
2018.

Credit and cash flow risk 

Credit and cash flow risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial 
instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from 
customers. 

The  Group  trades  only  with  recognised,  creditworthy  third  parties.  In  addition,  receivable  balances  are 
monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

With respect to credit and cash flow risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise 
cash and cash equivalents, the Group’s exposure to credit  and cash flow risk arises from default of the 
counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.  This risk is 
minimised by reviewing term deposit accounts from time to time with approved banks of a sufficient Fitch 
Ratings credit rating of at least A-, Moody’s credit rating of at least A2, and Standard & Poor’s credit rating 
of at least A-.  The Group does not place funds on terms longer than 30 days and has the facility to place 
the deposit funds with more than one bank. The Group does not hold collateral as security for any of its’ 
receivables. 

The  Group  and  Company  undertake  the  following  procedures  to  determine  whether  there  has  been  a 
significant increase in the credit risk of its other receivables, including group balances, since their initial 
recognition.   Where these  procedures  identify a significant increase  in credit risk, the loss allowance is 
measured  based  on  the  risk  of  a  default  occurring  over  the  expected  life  of  the  instrument  rather  than 
considering only the default events expected within 12 months of the year-end. 

The Group and Company have not determined that credit loss has increased during the year in respect of 
the Group’s trade receivables. 

Exposure to credit and cash flow risk 

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities represents the maximum credit exposure. 
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit and cash flow risk at the reporting date was:

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

Impairment of company receivables from subsidiaries 

The Company’s group receivables represent trading balances and loan amounts advanced to other group 
companies with no fixed repayment dates. Under IFRS 9 the fair value of this intercompany receivable  is 
repayable on demand to the company. 

The company was due the following amounts as at 30 June 2019 before the recognition of any impairment 
loss provisions:

(11,170,678)

11,227,459 
- 
11,227,459 

In respect of the balance due from Structural Monitoring Systems Limited (SMS Ltd), the Company did not 
have sufficient liquid resources at 30 June 2019 to repay the loan in full. An impairment loss provision has 
been recognised to the extent the carrying value at 30 June 2019 is covered by the recovery of net assets 
in the balance sheet of SMS Ltd. This has been measured based on lifetime expected credit losses on the 
basis that credit risk has increased since initial recognition.  

In  respect  of  the  balance  due  from  Structural  Monitoring  Systems  Canada  Corporation  (SMSCC),  the 
Company did not have sufficient liquid resources at 30 June 2019 to repay the loan in full. However, on the 
basis that the balance is expected to be recovered by the subsidiary’s trading, no impairment loss provision 
has  been  recognised  (2018:  $543,501).  This  has  been  measured  based  on  12  month  expected  credit 
losses. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The 
Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient 
liquidity  to  meet  its  liabilities  when  due,  under  both  normal  and  stressed  conditions,  without  incurring 
unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 

23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES (CONTINUED) 

The Group had net assets denominated in foreign currencies of $2,988,786 as at 30 June 2019 (2018: net 
assets of $3,021,459). Based on this exposure, had the Australian dollar weakened by 10%/strengthened 
by  5%  (2018:  weakened  by  10%/strengthened  by  5%)  against  these  foreign  currencies  with  all  other 
variables held constant, the Group’s loss before tax for the year would have been $136,456 higher/$68,228 
lower (2018: $186,084 higher/$93,042 lower). 

The Board regularly monitors the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations.

Capital Risk Management 

The Company and the Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company and the 
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for 
other  stakeholders  and  to  maintain  an  optimal  capital  structure  to  reduce  the  cost  of  capital.  The 
management of the Company and the Group’s capital is performed by the Board. 

Given the level of operations of the Group, the Board has a secured overdaft facility available with a credit 
limit  of  CA$2  million.  It  has  not  made  use  of  long  term  debt  financing,  but  has  instead  chosen  to  raise 
additional capital by issuing shares. The Board regularly monitors, liquidity, exchange rates, cash flow and 
financial assets and liabilities balances by means of financial reports and cashflow forecasting. 

None of the Group’s entities are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

During  the  year,  a  claim  for  royalties  was  received  by  Structural  Monitoring  Systems  Limited  (“the 
Company”). A case for the defence of the claim is being prepared in advance of arbitration. As a matter of 
prudence the Company has made provision for costs and interest for the sum of $389,557 inc GST as a 
current liability under other payables in the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019. An additional 
amount being claimed of $345,911 has not been accrued as it is not considered probable that the Company 
will be required to settle the remaining part of the claim. 

The commitments of the Group are as follows: 

Operating lease commitments 

Land and buildings 

Within one year 

Later than one year but not later than 5

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S  REPORT  TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF 
STRUCTURAL MONITORING SYSTEMS PLC  

Opinion 
We have audited the financial statements of Structural Monitoring Systems PLC (the ‘parent company’) and 
its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 June 2019 which comprise of the group and parent company 
Statement of comprehensive income, group and parent company Statement of financial position, group and 
parent company Statement of cash flows, group and parent company Statement of changes in equity, and 
notes  to  the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies.  The  financial 
reporting  framework  that  has  been  applied  in  the  preparation  of  the  group  and  parent  company  financial 
statements  is  applicable  law  and  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  as  adopted  by  the 
European Union. 

In our opinion: 

• 

• 

• 

the  financial  statements  give  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  state  of  the  group’s  and  of  the  parent 
company’s affairs as at 30 June 2019 and of the group’s and parent company’s loss for the year then 
ended; 
the  financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the 
European Union; 
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies 
Act 2006. 

Basis for opinion 
We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  International  Standards  on  Auditing  (UK)  (ISAs  (UK))  and 
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities 
for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and the parent 
company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 
in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to SME listed entities and we have fulfilled our 
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we 
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Conclusions relating to going concern 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require 
us to report to you where: 

• 

• 

the  directors’  use  of  the  going  concern  basis  of  accounting  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial 
statements is not appropriate; or 
the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that 
may cast significant doubt about the group’s or the parent company’s ability to continue to adopt the 
going  concern  basis  of  accounting  for  a  period  of  at  least  twelve  months  from  the  date  when  the 
financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit 
of the group and parent company financial statements of the current period and include the most significant 
assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had 
the greatest effect on the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit and directing the efforts 
of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the group and parent 
company  financial  statements  as  a  whole,  and  in  forming  our  opinion  thereon,  and  we  do  not  provide  a 
separate opinion on these matters.

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S  REPORT  TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF 
STRUCTURAL MONITORING SYSTEMS PLC  

Group key audit matters 

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets  

Risk: 

The Group  acquired its subsidiary, Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp, in the year ended 30 June 2018. 
The recoverability of the goodwill and intangibles assets arising on acquisitions is dependent on the individual 
cash-generating unit to which the goodwill and intangible assets are allocated generating sufficient cash flows 
in the future. Due to the  inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting future cash  flows and the judgements 
involved in selection of an appropriate discount rate, which are the basis of the assessment of recoverability, 
this is considered a key audit matter.  

Refer  to  note  13  to  the  financial  statements  for  the  disclosures  relating  to  the  goodwill  and  the  related 
impairment calculations. 

Our response: 

Our audit procedures included reviewing management’s discounted cash flow model, testing and challenging 
the judgements and assumptions used by management in their assessment of whether the cash generating 
unit to which goodwill is allocated is impaired and assessing management’s sensitivity analysis on the cash 
flow model. 

We have assessed the inputs in determining the discount rate used to calculate the present value of projected 
future cash flows. We have also assessed the validity of the model and challenged the valuation model and 
the basis of management’s impairment considerations.   

We assessed management’s earnings assumptions in the models compared to current year performance and 
forecasted performance for the next financial year. We have reviewed management’s sensitivity analysis of 
key assumptions, including the revenue growth forecasts and the discount rate. We have further considered 
whether the disclosures about the sensitivity of the outcome of the impairment assessment to changes in key 
assumptions were adequate and properly reflected the risks inherent in the valuation of the cash generating 
units. 

Valuation of inventory 

Risk: 

As at 30 June 2019, the Group held inventories of $6.2m. As described in the Accounting Policies in note 11 
to the financial statements, inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of 
investment comprises of direct materials and delivery costs, as well as an appropriate proportion of variable 
and  fixed  overhead  expenditure  based  on  normal  operating  capacity.  As  a  result,  judgement  is  applied  in 
determining the level of provisions required for obsolete inventory and an appropriate apportionment of labour 
and overheads. We therefore consider this to be a key audit matter. 

Our response: 

We have performed inventory price testing for a sample of material costs. As part of this testing, where the 
item sampled was sold post year end, we have confirmed this has been at an amount in excess of cost. 

We have also assessed the calculation of labour and overhead absorption during the year and whether the 
value of labour and overhead costs included in inventory at 30 June 2019 is appropriate. Our work has been 
included examining the operating capacity utilisation during the year.

STRUCTURAL MONITORING SYSTEMS PLC – ANNUAL REPORT 2019 
Registered Number 04834265 

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S  REPORT  TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF 
STRUCTURAL MONITORING SYSTEMS PLC  

We have further held discussions with operations staff and assessed the aging of inventory at 30 June 2019, 
as well as examining forecasted sales for the next financial year, to determine whether the inventory provision 
recognised at 30 June 2019 is appropriate.   

Parent company key audit matters 

We  have  not  identified  any  additional  key  audit  matters  in  respect  of  the  company  statement  of  financial 
position. 

Our application of materiality 
When establishing our overall audit strategy, we set certain thresholds which help us to determine the nature, 
timing and extent of our audit procedures. When evaluating whether misstatements, both individually and on 
the financial statements as a whole, could reasonably influence the economic decisions of the users we take 
into account the qualitative nature and the size of the misstatements.  During planning materiality for the group 
financial  statements  as  a  whole  was  calculated  as  $132,000  which  was  revised  to  $143,000  as  the  audit 
progressed. Materiality for the parent company financial statements as a whole was calculated as $113,000, 
which was revised to $114,000 as the audit progressed.  We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would 
report to them all unadjusted differences in excess of $10,000, as well as differences below that threshold 
that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds 

An overview of the scope of our audit 
Our  audit  was  scoped  by  obtaining  an  understanding  of  the  Group  and  its  control  environment,  including 
Group-wide controls, and by assessing the risks of material misstatement. Full scope  audits were carried out 
on the group and parent company financial statements. Significant components were  subject to a full scope  
audit  to  group  materiality.  This  covered  82%  of  consolidated  loss  before  tax  and  95%  of  consolidated  net 
assets. All other components have been covered by desktop review and analytical procedures.  

Where  audit  work  was  performed  by  component  auditors,  specifically  in  relation  to  Anodyne  Electronics 
Manufacturing Corp, we determined the level of involvement we needed to have in their audit work to be able 
to conclude whether sufficient, appropriate audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on 
the group financial statements as a whole. Detailed audit instructions were issued and a review was performed 
of the work of the component auditor.  

Other information 
The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  other  information.  The  other  information  comprises  the  information 
included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion 
on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly 
stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, 
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or 
our  knowledge  obtained  in  the  audit  or  otherwise  appears  to  be  materially  misstated.  If  we  identify  such 
material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a 
material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. 

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

• 

• 

the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which 
the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 
the  Strategic  Report  and  the  Directors’  Report  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  applicable 
legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT  AUDITOR’S  REPORT  TO  THE  MEMBERS  OF 
STRUCTURAL MONITORING SYSTEMS PLC  

Matters on which we are required to report by exception 
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and their environment 
obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or 
the Directors’ Report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 
requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

•  adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our 

• 

audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 
the  parent  company  financial  statements  are  not  in  agreement  with  the  accounting  records  and 
returns; or 
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 
• 
•  we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

Responsibilities of directors 
As  explained  more  fully  in  the  directors’  responsibilities  statement  set  out  on  page  X,  the  directors  are 
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair 
view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial 
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent 
company’s ability 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 
the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are 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 ISAs (UK) 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 these financial statements. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial 
Reporting  Council’s  website  at:  http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.  This  description  forms  part  of 
our auditor’s report.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (CONTINUED) 

Identification of Independent Directors and the Company's Materiality Thresholds 

In considering the independence of directors, the Board refers to its Policy on Assessing the Independence 
of Directors (available on the Company's website).  

The Board has agreed on the following guidelines for assessing the materiality of matters, as set out in the 
Company's Board Charter (available on the Company's website): 

• 
• 

• 

Balance sheet items are material if they have a value of more than 5% of pro-forma net asset. 
Profit and loss items are material if they will have an impact on the current year operating result of 5% or 
more. 
Items are also material if they impact on the reputation of the Company, involve a breach of legislation, 
are  outside  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  they  could  affect  the  Company’s  rights  to  its  assets,  if 
accumulated  they  would  trigger  the  quantitative  tests,  involve  a  contingent  liability  that  would  have  a 
probable effect of 5% or more on balance sheet or profit and loss items, or they will have an effect on 
operations which is likely to result in an increase or decrease in net income or dividend distribution of 
more than 5%. 

•  Contracts  will  be  considered  material  if  they  are  outside  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  contain 
exceptionally onerous provisions in the opinion of the Board, impact on income or distribution in excess 
of the quantitative tests, there is a likelihood that either party will default, and the default may trigger any
